Li Wei returned to the courtyard where they were, Guan Ning had already brought all the food to the table, looked at Li Li Li, who had changed into new clothes, his lips squirmed for a while, and finally just exchanged for a sentence, "The meal is ready, let's eat quickly." ”

The three people at the table were very silent, but this time Li Wei did not eat the same nonsense as before, and each one ate very carefully, as if he was no longer worried about whether he would continue to be hungry for a few more days or not have enough to eat.

In the days that followed, Li Wei would be taken to the mountains and forests almost every day, and each time it was not necessarily the same place, and what he had to do was very simple, that is, hide himself, hide his whole body, Wang Yue would give him the opportunity to create a gathering of wild beasts, all he had to do was not to move, and even at some times, it was better not to even breathe.

He saw with his own eyes a tiger's paw put down in front of his eyes, at that time, Li Lian, as if he had stopped breathing, the whole person was completely straight, and he didn't dare to make the slightest movement, for fear that the tiger who was close at hand would turn around and give him a mouthful.

He has also seen a colorful poisonous snake, spitting out a letter from his body, at that moment even if his heart beats like thunder, he does not dare to breathe, the tiger's bite he may still have a chance to resist, but this kind of poisonous snake, the gods are difficult to save.

As the saying goes, no matter what, if you see too much, you won't be afraid, Li Li felt that what he said was a pure mouth cannon, and now he is indeed not afraid of any jackals and wild dogs, but a tiger just doesn't leave in front of him, and he is not afraid.

After a while, the tiger may not have found anything, or left step by step.

When Wang Yue reappeared and said the sentence "It seems that you can live well without medicinal powder", Li Wei suddenly felt that his cold hair exploded.

Li Li is training in pain, and Cao Zhang has finally ushered in his harvest.

Cao Zhang sat on the main seat, his face was excited, and even faintly a little at a loss, and Tian Yu was sitting with his eyes closed, with no joy or sadness, but standing below were all the people who came this time, as well as Tian Pengzu, who had been busy in Youzhou Daijun.

"Everyone, sit down, sit down!" Cao Zhang's tone was a little hurried, and it could be seen that it was because he was too excited.

Li Hao and the others looked at Cao Zhang, who was quite at a loss, and laughed kindly, although joy and anger are indispensable qualities for a hero, but a sincere and kind lord is even more reliable for them now.

"Akishiko doesn't have to be like this." Li Hao took a step forward first, bowed to Cao Zhang, and said, "A certain family wants to ask Zhang Shizi, what are your plans now?" ”

Cao Zhang slowly calmed down his mood and knew that his real assessment was coming.

Cao Zhang thought carefully for a long time, and after he finished talking to Guan Ning, he had been thinking carefully about his future for a while, but he didn't gain the slightest, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of Mr. jokes, Cao Zhang doesn't know anything about his future now." ”

Li Hao looked at Cao Zhang, who was a little embarrassed, but there was no unswerving, "Zhang Shizi doesn't have to be like this, our role is to let Shizi have a clear goal and complete him!" ”

"Hahaha, okay, thank you sir!"

Li Hao looked at Cao Zhang, who had a sincere face, and twitched his cheeks, "Shizi, don't you want to ask us what we plan to do first?" ”

"Don't ask!" Cao Zhang's face was arrogant, "Our goal is the same, Mr. is a wise man, naturally he will not harm Cao Zhang!" ”

"The prince is really.." Li Hao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Maybe this is the legendary honest gentleman." ”

Although Cao Zhang expressed full trust in Li Hao and others, Li Hao still asked people to present the map and explained to him in detail the future strategy.

"Look." Li Hao pointed to the area of Youzhou on the map, "Youzhou is located in a remote area, and there are many aliens on the grassland, but now most of the Xiongnu have gone outside the state, although Xianbei is new, but their leader is here on the surface, at least they will not interfere too much with us, and the rest is only the Wuhuan force that is deeply rooted in Youzhou." ”

Li Hao did shut up when he said this, waiting for Cao Zhang's reaction, and at the same time, Tian Pengzu took the initiative to go out and disperse the subordinates who were waiting outside, and when he came in again, there was no more than one person waiting outside, so he closed the door.

"Sir, mean, Wuhuan is a problem?"

"Yes." Li Hao smiled faintly, "Although Wuhuan has been crushed by people from all walks of life since their rise, from Gongsun Zhan in the Qiu Juli period to Cao Gong, the king of Wei in the Kudun period, and now in the Louban period, they have been defeated by a number of people, and they seem to be weak, but in a few years, they will accumulate enough strength again, they have grown too fast, they have been constantly killed, and they can still prosper quickly under the constant oppression, they can withstand the greatest pressure, the most painful failure, this race, but it is too terrible." ”

Cao Zhang never seriously thought about this problem, because Wuhuan was too bad, relying on Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun to join forces, they showed their muscles in Dahan, and then they met the angry Gongsun Zhan with Liu Guanzhang, who had just come out of society, and drove Wuhuan all the way back, and finally made a bloody investment, and finally trapped Gongsun Chan in Shimen, but Shengsheng couldn't give Gongsun Chan for more than half a year, and let the family break through.

In the end, the Wuhuan people couldn't stand it anymore, Qiu Juli found Liu Yu by himself, and reached a refuge agreement in a very friendly environment between the two sides, and at the same time, the first Wuhuan operation to enter the Han land began.

Then they relied on Liu Yu, and whispered in front of Gongsun Chan to survive, relying on two generations, consuming Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, and then took refuge in Yuan Shao, and turned into an official body in the Han Dynasty, the excellent Jian Dun felt that he was finally waiting for the rise of Wuhuan again, without Gongsun Chan, without Liu Yu, and then looking at it, even Yuan Shao was gone, he felt that he could follow the example of his ancestors to intervene in the war in the Central Plains!

Then Tian Chou took Cao Gong and Zhang Liao with a big knife, chopped off Badun's head, and at the same time started the second action to turn Hu.

It was not until now that Cao Zhang crushed Wu Huan's extravagant hopes again, and then after listening to Li Hao's words, he found that in just thirty years, Wu Huan had three battles and three defeats, and the three defeats were not important, the important thing was that in just thirty years, they had accumulated the strength of three major wars.

"Is this the case with Wu Huan?"

"If it weren't for the fact that these leaders of theirs didn't have a very clear mind, and they had to work hard for twenty or thirty years with a good brain, I am afraid that there would only be one Wuhuan left on this grassland."

After Cao Zhang listened, he was a little silent, "What advice does Mr. have?" ”

"If the prince wants to stay in Youzhou, what is the best way?"

"Sir, don't worry, if you just let Cao Zhang stay, this matter will not be difficult!" Cao Zhang's words were sonorous and powerful, Li Hao couldn't help but pause after listening to his words, and took a good look at Cao Zhang, the son of the world is released, or directly released to the frontier, there are two elder brothers staring at it, but it is so easy to say, either he is arrogant, or the strength in his hands is far from what he sees.

"Shizi, how can you be so confident?"

"Cao Zhang will never lie about it."

"Good!" Li Hao snorted and didn't think about it anymore, "Then the rest of the things will be taught to Lao Niu." ”

Li Hao let go of half of his body, stretched out his hand, and let Niu Er take a step forward and stand in front of the map.

"Shizi, please see, Youzhou was originally inconspicuous, the land was barren, and there were not too many specialties, but the surrounding area was a merger, and even the war horse was better than Liangzhou, but this was changed a few years ago." Niu came to the map and began to point at the map.

"A few years ago..."Cao Zhang glanced at it, his eyes slowly moving up, "You mean. Liaodong? ”

"Exactly" Niu Er smiled, "The two generations of the Gongsun family have expanded their territory for thousands of miles, and their chassis is easy to attack and difficult to defend, except that the area is too remote, it will not pose much threat to the Central Plains at all." ”

"En" Cao Zhang agreed with this, if the Han felt that he would be a threat, the Gongsun family would not be passed on to the second generation.

"Shizi may not know much about this place." Niu Er continued, "The land of Liaodong, although it is said that it is remote, the indigenous people are difficult, and the land is barren, but in fact it is rich in products, and the land is very rich, the only disadvantage is that the population is too small, and the winter is too cold, many people can't survive there, so if the Gongsun family has no ambition, it would be fine, but they do, and the ambition is not small, which gives us a chance!" ”

"Our chance..."

"If the Gongsun family wants to succeed in Liaodong, other conditions are easy to do, but what is lacking is the population, a large number of people, whether young and strong, or old and weak, are all necessary things for the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and if you want these things, what he has to pay is exactly what we need, grain and grass, baggage, and even war horses and iron ore!"

When he said these words, Niu Er's eyes burned, and the palms of Li Hao, Fan Ze and others behind him suddenly clenched, Tian Yu opened his eyes, Tian Pengzu began to tremble slightly, and he couldn't wait to stand up and shout.

"We.... What do you want all this for? When Cao Zhang said this, he felt very difficult, and even his voice was a little hoarse.

"There are countless people on this grassland, their young and strong can become warriors with a little training, their old and weak can be exchanged for grain and grass, the people of Youzhou Erlang are fierce, and the land of several counties, since ancient times, famous generals have emerged in endlessly, this is a god-given place for good war."

"So what?" Cao Zhang's eyes were slightly red, and his hand touched his waist at some point.

"These things gathered together, they may not be worth mentioning in front of King Wei, as long as he gives an order, these forces will collapse in an instant!" Li Hao stepped forward at this time and said something that made Cao Zhang slightly reassured.

"Sir, it's good to understand."

"But, what if King Wei is gone!" Niu Er's words dropped the temperature in the room by three points again, and everyone felt their bodies tighten, and everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Zhang's body.

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth, his lips moved for a long time and he didn't say that, "Father is in the prime of Spring and Autumn, how can he not be there." ”

"If the prince really doesn't want to say it, it doesn't matter, I'll get here first today, and I'll go and rest first." Li Hao looked at Cao Zhang, who was entangled, and said slowly.

"Sir, it doesn't have to be." Cao Zhang didn't know if this was Li Hao's delaying tactic or the radicalization method, but he didn't want Li Hao and the others to leave like this, "If my father really has it."

The day is gone, that... Cao Zhang has to rely on himself to take all this that can belong to me. ”

"That Niu Er can guarantee it here." Niu Er suddenly stepped forward and said loudly, "Within five years, we will definitely be able to bring 200,000 male soldiers to the prince!" ”

Looking at Niu Er and the others with fiery faces, Cao Zhang's heart also flashed a trace of strangeness, "200,000 male soldiers suddenly appeared in Youzhou, even if my father is broad-hearted, others can't tolerate me." ”

"On the grassland outside Youzhou, even if you hide a million soldiers, it's easy!" Li Hao suddenly spoke, "So, Wuhuan must be solved." ”

"What can you teach you, sir?"

"Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and feed the war with war!"

On this day, in the county guard's mansion, the main hall was brightly lit, and the people inside did not rest all night, and there were bursts of noise from time to time, and there was a trace of quarrel from time to time.

On the second day, Wang Zhuang took a few horse thieves he had newly packed up and went out of Dai County again, he needed to give Youzhou's grass and green forests a major rectification, some people, need to be beaten well, at least the kind that has to break two bones.

Tian Pengzu also took the letter written by Cao Zhang himself on the road, and he wanted to send a letter to Cao Cao, who was stationed in Hanzhong, to act as a messenger, and at the same time, he also wanted to give Cao Cao a reasonable reason to be able to let Cao Zhang be stationed in Youzhou openly.

And Li Hao and Cao Zhang, together with Cao Zhang, met Kebineng and Lou Ban, and waved his hand to give the entire grassland outside Youzhou to the two, to give them this surrender as a gift, and agreed to have Niu Kuiying as the general, Fan Ze and Zhang Chen as the deputy general, and Wang Xin as the pioneer, to help them clean up this grassland, and sweep out the forces that are not the two of them, so as to help the two of them control the grassland faster.

No matter what the two of them were thinking in their hearts, they were overjoyed on their faces, and they kept thanking Cao Zhang, and when the two of them rushed to the school in addition to the city, they saw that the so-called army that helped them obtain this grassland was actually the seven thousand soldiers they brought, and the faces of the two people were very different.

After all, Kebineng still has a foundation, and he only accepted the more than 10,000 people under his command not long ago, and it will not hurt his muscles and bones without these thousands of people, not to mention that many of them have been born and died with him for many years, and it is not so simple to be controlled by the Han people.

But Lou Ban is different, he has almost emptied his old bottom, and now these people are still cobbled together, relying on the prestige of the Han people to suppress them, and now the Han people want to take it back, he doesn't dare to have a temper at all, but if there are no thousands of people, he will really become a lonely soldier, not to mention that this grassland is divided into two, even if the entire grassland is given to him, he can't stand it.

Before he could go to Cao Zhang to discuss this matter, Niu Er set off with a large army, Kebineng also said goodbye to him with a smile, and rushed to his territory with his cronies such as Gui Guini, he wanted to hurry back with enough men and horses.

In desperation, Lou Ban could only rush to most of the previous Qiu Ju again, that is, the place where he "entrusted his net worth", and now the ownership of most of the Qiu Ju has been almost killed by himself, and he has already arranged for people to receive him, but he has not really taken him over, after all, the food appearance can not be too ugly, but now he can't take care of a lot, with enough benefits, Lou Ban believes that he can quickly pull out a team of thousands of people again.

Niu Er, who was running on the grassland, also gave the latest order.

"In this expedition, anyone who refuses to surrender is an enemy, and they will be killed!"

"Our army, those who kill one enemy and do not die, reward one bucket of grain, kill three enemies, reward one grain, kill ten enemies, reward one stone of grain and one cattle and sheep, and after death, they can be inherited by their families!"

"Those who kill five enemies and survive, the first level of officials and students, reward one of the good fields, kill ten enemies and survive, the third level of the officials and students, and reward the ten good fields."

After waiting for the wolf howls of the soldiers below to resound through the heavens and the earth, Niu Er opened his mouth again to speak.

"From today on, every time a tribe is attacked, cattle, sheep, horses and women, twenty-eight will be separated, two percent of the camp-breakers will be kept for themselves, and eighty percent will be returned to Youzhou, and no one will be taken!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone held their breath, Wang Xin at the front felt that he was breathing, and then the deafening roar broke out again, Wang Xin already felt it, along the way, they must be bloody all the way, what a surrender, what a steady development, in front of the group of soldiers around him who have turned into wolves, nothing will appear, as long as the other party dares to have the slightest hesitation, they will rush up, and then tear them apart.

At the same time, Li Hao also personally went out and went to Liaodong to meet Gongsun Taishou, he needed to find an excellent buyer for their loot, and at the same time to sell it at a very suitable price, he had chosen the middle walkers and guards, Steward Zhao of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was a good guy, and those who had robbed them had waited for so long, it was time to appear openly, and they could find an official identity.

Cao Zhang sat in Dai County, waiting for his fair and honest appointment, and then he would join Tian Yu to sweep Youzhou, Niu Er, Fan Ze, Zhang Chen and Wang Xin sent troops to pacify the Saiwai grassland, Wang Zhuang took his subordinates to do the business of green forests again, and Li Hao sent an envoy to Liaodong to find his own granary and stable for Cao Zhang.

It seems that everything is developing in a good direction for the Cao Zhang's forces, and their every move has also been transmitted to Xu Du.

Xu Du, a certain humble mansion.

A young man in a fancy costume looked at the information in his hand, and the corners of his mouth silently raised.

"I heard that Guan Yu has not been stable recently?"

A group of people standing below stepped out and said, "Exactly, the spies came to report that Guan Yu has been fighting recently, and he has a great tendency to attack." ”

"Where Nanyang is, it's not stable?"

Another one said, "Nanyang County Hou Yin's rebellion, although it has been suppressed, there are still remnants of rebellion, and there are more than 500 henchmen who have been arrested, and Nanyang Taishou has a sense of powerlessness." ”

"Hehe, Tian Yu has done a good job recently, and Zhang Shizi is also very good, send this battle report to King Wei overnight!"

Later history: In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Daijun Karasuma was reversed, and Chang was the general of Beizhong Lang, and the general of Xingxiao cavalry..... Zhangbei expedition, into the Zhuo County boundary, rebel Hu thousands of cavalry to. When the soldiers and horses were not gathered, there were only 1,000 foot soldiers and hundreds of horses. Use Tian Yu to plan, stick to the key gaps, and retreat. Zhang chases him, fights by himself, shoots Hu Cai, and falls in response to the string. ... Take advantage of the victory and chase the north. As for Sang Qian, he went to the generation for more than 200 miles.
