Chapter 308: Take control of Bohai County

On Yuan Shao's right hand, a cavalry rushed out.

The first person has a red tasseled spear in his right hand, a stainless steel sword at his waist, and a white helmet and white armor all over his body, which is majestic and majestic. And this person is the general under Cao Cao, who attacked the famous Xiahou Yuan with thousands of miles.

Beside Xiahou Yuan, there was a young general in his early twenties, wearing a tiger helmet, and the black spear in his hand emitted a chilling light, which showed that there were definitely many souls who died under this spear. This person is none other than the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Chun. Behind Cao Chun were five hundred tigers and leopards, with uniform black armor and black spears, like a dead cavalry.

Immediately behind the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were a thousand cavalry, which was slightly inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry, but it could also be seen that they were elite soldiers; and further back, there were nearly 10,000 infantry, including sword soldiers and pikemen, all of whom roared angrily and rushed to the battlefield to kill Gongsun Zhan's soldiers.

But it was said that these were Cao Cao's subordinates, how could they appear on the battlefield of Yecheng?

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao met when they were young, and they were both officials in Luoyang, and the two became friends. At that time, the two hit it off at first sight and expressed their ambitions. When they knew that the other party had the idea of dominating the world, the two made an agreement that they would decide the winner in the future.

Yuan Shao's identity at that time was the son of the Yuan family, although he was a concubine, he was more famous than Yuan Shu for his talents. There are countless protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family, and many people have taken refuge in Yuan Shao. Therefore, Yuan Shao at that time was already surrounded by talents.

And Cao Cao, because he was a eunuch, the literati had a great hatred for the eunuchs, so Cao Cao's identity was very embarrassing. However, with Cao Cao leading the way, Cao Cao quickly integrated into Yuan Shao's circle. Even with Yuan Shao's help, Cao Cao, there are still not many people willing to follow him.

When Dong Zhuo made a mess, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were in the limelight.

Because of his fame, Yuan Shao obtained a place in Jizhou for nothing, and it can be said that he has a good foundation. And Cao Cao was still working hard everywhere, and finally Yuan Shao came out and recommended Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun. Then, Cao Cao also became the assassin of Yanzhou, and the two had the same foundation.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao agreed that in the future, the northern battlefield will be the battlefield where they will divide the victory and defeat. So, they won't let anyone break their agreement. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao united, without the slightest gap in the union, before sweeping away the northern forces, they would not worry about who would stab them in the back, because both of them had their own pride.

Yuan Shao believed in the way of the emperor, he had to gather countless talents, and then fight Cao Cao in the future, relying on countless talents to defeat Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao believes in himself, he will recruit talents, but he will accept elites, and he doesn't want ordinary talents.

The disagreement between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is like the disagreement between Wenchen and military generals. One believes in power, the other believes in ability, as for who is stronger, no one can be sure, let the facts speak.

Yuan Shao was jointly attacked by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Gongsun Zhan and the Black Mountain Army, and Cao Cao knew about it. Cao Cao also knew that Yuan Shao would not ask him for help, because they would not be defeated by the others until the agreement between the two of them was carried out. However, Cao Cao still had Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan come to their aid, and brought his elite tiger and leopard cavalry with him. As long as Yuan Shao gives the order, they will appear on the battlefield and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

However, Yuan Shao did not rely on Cao Cao to win, of course, Yuan Chang had a lot of credit. If Yuan Chang had not eliminated the Gongsun Zan soldiers on the Zhanghe River, Yuan Shao's army would have been flooded. Originally, in history, Gongsun Zhan also used this strategy, but he was wiped out by Cao Chun's tiger and leopard horse. Although the protagonist has changed, the result has not changed.

Now, Yuan Shao let Cao Cao's men attack to share the fruits of victory, so Yuan Shao did not have the slightest burden.

Therefore, the historical record is wrong, and no one knows that there was such an agreement between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, as well as a close union. Perhaps it can be said that there is no one under the command of the two to advise, and sooner or later they will have a battle, a battle for the overlord of the north. This is an agreement that only the two of them know, so it is impossible for history to be recorded in it. And Yuan Chang, a traverser, naturally doesn't know the Tao in it.

Therefore, Yuan Chang was surprised that Cao Cao's men and horses would appear on the battlefield.

On Yuan Shao's left hand, it was naturally Yuan Chang, Dian Wei and Yu Ban, as well as five thousand cavalry, after eliminating the Gongsun Zan army on the Zhanghe River, Yuan Chang led them to rush out to chase and kill the army of Gongsun Zan and the black-robed people.

This battle can be said to be without the slightest suspense, Yu Ban's 5,000 cavalry are all elite, and the equipment is also built with a lot of money, it is a meat grinder on the battlefield, and the soldiers who have been crushed by these 5,000 cavalry have no suspense to become dead souls; Similarly, Cao Chun's 500 tiger and leopard cavalry is not inferior to 5,000 cavalry.

In the end, when the army that was pursuing Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people had reached nearly fifty miles, the pursuit was stopped.

Tens of thousands of enemies were killed, and nearly 50,000 were captured, and the casualties of Yuan Shao, Yuan Chang, and Xiahou Yuan were negligible.

Gongsun Zhan's 50,000 elite soldiers are now only 20,000, and the 5,000 White Horse Yicong have also lost hundreds; the more than 70,000 black-robed Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has suffered heavy losses, surrendering, dying, and breaking away on the way to escape, and finally there are only more than 20,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans left of the 70,000 black-robed people.

In the end, Yuan Shao gave 10,000 prisoners, weapons, and armor to Xiahou Yuan to express his assistance to them. In addition, 2,000 good horses and 100,000 stone grain and grass were also given.

Xiahou Yuan was not hypocritical, these materials were very important to Cao Cao, and after the inventory, he returned to Yanzhou.

And in Yecheng, Yuan Shao and Yuan Chang had a conversation, and there was only a conversation between the two of them.

"Chengzhi, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, if it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's attack on Jizhou this time, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't know your true face. ”

Yuan Shao sat opposite Yuan Chang, his eyes flashing, and he said bluntly.

The second brother smiled, the foolish brother originally just wanted to live an ordinary life. However, Gongsun Chan wanted to take my life, so he had to resist. ”

Yuan Chang said calmly, now that he has revealed his true side, there is no need to hide it. Therefore, the once lowly and sycophantic appearance does not need to be revealed, Yuan Shao knows it, and it will make people laugh if he continues to do so. Moreover, now Yuan Chang also has enough strength, so he doesn't have to be frightened anymore. There are not many people who want to take his life, if there are.

"Chengzhi, what are your plans for the future?"

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Chang with straight eyes, as if he wanted to see through Yuan Chang. However, now that Yuan Chang has revealed his true face, there is nothing to hide. Originally, Yuan Chang wanted to use the forbidden five thousand cavalry to test Yuan Shao's intentions, but now there is no need, doing so is an insult to everyone's IQ.

"Second brother, foolish brother hopes to completely take over Bohai County in the future!"

Yuan Chang said his intentions directly. Bohai County was still under the administration of Jizhou, and if Yuan Chang directly resisted Yuan Shao's orders, it would be equivalent to a rebellion. However, now, Yuan Chang directly said his thoughts, if Yuan Shao agreed, Yuan Chang naturally did not have to obey Yuan Shao's orders. If Yuan Shao didn't agree, Yuan Chang would have other ways to get Yuan Shao to agree, and he didn't believe that Yuan Shao wouldn't agree.

"Chengzhi, if Bohai County falls into your hands, the strength of your brother will fall. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Chang with a smile, Yuan Shao's meaning was very clear, and it was not impossible for Bohai County to give it to you. However, you have to come up with enough benefits.

Yuan Chang had long known that this would happen, so he didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "If the second brother hands over Bohai County to me, I can hand over the method of salt making to the second brother." With high-quality table salt, what does the second brother think?"

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't expect that the high-quality salt was actually from Yuan Chang's hand, which made Yuan Shao a little surprised. It seems that there are still many unknown things on Yuan Chang.

"Huh!"

Yuan Shao smiled, and did not directly answer Yuan Chang's words, but asked rhetorically: "Chengzhi, when you were in the Tiger Prison Pass, you took refuge in me, I am afraid that it was because the highway was going to kill you, so you turned to me?

Yuan Chang was stunned and didn't deny it, but he wondered, how did Yuan Shao know that he had taken refuge in him because Yuan Shu wanted to kill him?

"If the second brother is willing to tell me, I will be grateful!"

"Good!"

Yuan Shao nodded, and then explained: "When you were a child in Runan, you followed the side of the road. Highway always bullied me, and Highway thought that I was a concubine, and it was not enough to call him a brother. Although you are also a concubine, you follow the highway, and the highway will naturally not be difficult for you. However, although you follow the road, there is one thing that you fail to do. That's why every time you see me, you still call me brother, and that's why Highway hates you, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Yuan Chang was stunned again, but he didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Thinking about it again, when he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, it seemed that he said a word to the second brother, and then he felt Yuan Shu's killing intent. Yuan Chang naturally believed in this explanation, and Yuan Shu would hate himself because of this, and he also said the past.

"Thank you to the second brother for solving the doubts, and the younger brother is grateful. ”

Yuan Shao showed a treacherous smile on his face, and asked bluntly: "Chengzhi, since I helped you solve a doubt in your heart for my brother." So, Brother Wei also wants to know, what do you want to do if you want to completely take over Bohai County?"

Yuan Chang didn't expect Yuan Shao to ask this, Yuan Chang felt many times, in fact, what he wanted to do most was to promote the progress of society. However, in this day and age, if you want to advance society, you need to be able to make your decisions implemented. And to do this, then power is indispensable, and it is necessary to promote him to fight for world domination. Of course, in addition to this, having beautiful women is another equally great goal of Yuan Chang. Comparatively, the goal of sitting on a beautiful woman is more difficult. Because, even if you have power, the beauty may not necessarily be willing to follow you, relying on the affection of both parties.

After thinking about it, Yuan Chang decided to reveal a little, as for whether Yuan Shao believed it or not, it was not for Yuan Chang to decide.

"Second brother, the salt made by the new method is not only of good quality, but also has a large output, what do you think of this?"

Yuan Chang knew that when Zhang Laogen handed over the new salt to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would definitely target him. Therefore, Yuan Chang was not surprised that Yuan Shao knew some of the things about the salt boiling method.

"Well, it does. ”

In this regard, Yuan Shao had already sent spies to the provincial village to investigate, so he naturally knew that what Yuan Chang said was the truth. It's just that the specific methods spies can't get from the villagers of the provincial village, and even if they use threats, they are unwilling to compromise and would rather die than say anything. Although Yuan Chang had explained that they could say it when their lives were endangered, in the hearts of the villagers of Xingji Village, Yuan Chang was their reborn parents, so how could they hand over the salt boiling method? In the end, Yuan Shao could only give up the salt boiling method. And today, Yuan Shao knew that the salt boiling method was made by Yuan Chang.

"There's good quality salt, and it's so big. If it is popularized throughout the country, does the second brother think that the price of salt will still make the people unattainable?"

When Yuan Chang said this, Yuan Shao was stunned.

Salt used to be coarse, but the price is still high. Most of the people put a few grains every time they cook, because the salt is insufficient, and many people get sick because of this. Salt is expensive, but it is a necessity. Listening to Yuan Chang's words, it seems that the people can use excellent salt, and at the same time, the price is not high, so that ordinary people can afford it. Yuan Shao really didn't understand Yuan Chang's approach, if this method was controlled, the wealth obtained would be amazing.

"The second brother may think that he can obtain great wealth with new salt, however, in my opinion, the wealth obtained with this cannot reflect his own value at all, and I disdain it. ”

Yuan Shao didn't answer, because he felt that his mind was a little insufficient. So, he didn't speak and saw what Yuan Chang meant. The concepts of Yuan Shao and Yuan Chang are not the same era concepts, so it is normal that Yuan Shao cannot understand Yuan Chang's ideal of promoting social progress. Perhaps, in the feudal era, competing for hegemony in the world, reaching the top of the Ninety-Five, and stretching for eternity, perhaps, is the idea of most ambitious people.

"There is no doubt that the salt made by the new law will make it cheaper and better quality for the people. And the new method of salt production is just one of my ideas. In the future, I will have more ideas to improve people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. So, I need a territory that is completely under my control, where no one can interfere, so that I can do what I want. ”

Yuan Chang was shocked, it turned out that the salt boiling method was just an idea of Yuan Chang, and Yuan Chang had more ideas, how amazing it would be. Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about how to get the most benefit for himself. As for controlling Yuan Chang, Yuan Shao didn't have this idea, so he said that Dian Wei was standing outside the door, and once the relationship between the two sides broke down, it was estimated that Dian Wei would directly rush in and split him. Moreover, Yuan Chang also brought five thousand cavalry, and it was not so easy to control Yuan Chang. Since this is the case, you can only choose to cooperate, otherwise once Yuan Chang is forced away, it will be bad to become your enemy at that time. Yuan Shao still has a sense of the overall situation, and will not try to control others for the sake of interests.

Besides, no matter what Yuan Chang says, he is also the Yuan family, at least there are benefits, and he will also give it to himself.

"Second brother, don't worry, how can I say that I am also the Yuan family, will it still harm you?" Yuan Chang said, but seeing that Yuan Shao did not answer, he couldn't guess what Yuan Shao meant for a while. At that moment, Yuan Chang decided to throw another bait, but he didn't believe that Yuan Shao would not agree.

"Second brother, from Luoyang to Chang'an more than 400 miles, how long will it take to get there if you can't do it and ride a horse?"

Yuan Shao didn't understand why Yuan Chang asked this, but he still replied: "If you don't travel day and night, you can reach it in at least five days on foot." On horseback riding, it takes two days to ride a horse and three days to ride a horse. ”

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang nodded, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brother Fool accidentally learned about a thing called lime earlier. Lime can be fused with other substances, and then dissolved in water to become cement, which can be used for paving. The road paved with cement is not only solid, but also flood-proof, and the road is smooth. Walking can be shortened to three days, and horseback riding can be reached in about a day. At the same time, cement can also be used to build houses, without fear of wind and rain, water and fire. ”

"There is such a thing, for my brother to gain knowledge!"

Yuan Shao's face was moved, if there was cement paving. It would be extremely advantageous to have a rebellion in any place under his rule, and the time for the army to set out would be cut in half. However, Yuan Shao also knew that if he wanted Yuan Chang to provide these things to himself, Bohai County had to give them to Yuan Chang, otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

"Chengzhi, it's not impossible for Bohai County to give it to you. However, if you have anything advantageous in the future, you must give priority to your brother, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao knew that since Yuan Chang could come up with the boiling salt method and cement, there would definitely be other good things. Therefore, let's talk about it first, so as not to hurt feelings in the future.

"This is natural, if I don't provide these things to the second brother, who else can I provide them!"

"Okay, in that case, Bohai County will be under your control in the future, and I will not interfere in the slightest. ”

In this way, Yuan Chang and Yuan Shao ended this conversation, and both sides gained benefits, so they were very satisfied. Subsequently, Yuan Shao increased the 10,000 soldiers captured this time to Yuan Chang, and also provided 2,000 war horses and 100,000 stones of grain and grass to show the friendship between the two sides.

After a good o'clock on the hour, Yuan Chang returned to Bohai County the next day, and this time the harvest was quite rich. At the same time, Lu Bu also followed Yuan Chang to Bohai County, and the purpose was self-evident.

……

At the same time, on the battlefield of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu and the Yanzhou assassin appointed by the imperial court Jin Shang waved an army to attack Yanzhou. Yuan Shutun's army was in Fengqiu, and then there were the remnants of the Black Mountain thieves and the Huns in Fuluo to help fight, and Cao Cao fought in Kuangting, but was defeated. Yuan Shu retired to Yongqiu, returned to Shouchun in the south, and the guard Chen Yu did not let him enter the city, Yuan Shu retreated to Yinling, gathered troops to attack Chen Yu, and Chen Yu fled back to Xiapi. Yuan Shu led the rest of the troops to Jiujiang County, killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and led Yangzhou Mu, also known as Xuzhou Bo, and Feng generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were generals.

Therefore, the alliance between Tao Qian and Yuan Shu can be regarded as a complete breakdown.

And Cao Cao also sat down because of this, and while serving as the assassin of Yanzhou, he also controlled Yuzhou. Since then, the princes of the world have officially begun to attack blatantly.

Of course, this qiΔ“ has nothing to do with Yuan Chang. Today's Yuan Chang finally has a territory that truly belongs to him, Bohai County, which will be his www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion.
