Chapter 1068 - Stability is the best thing to do

Zhao Yun entered Chaisang, and there was no obstacle.

There were no defenders left at the gates.

Sun Ce Cao Cao took all the soldiers away, and none were left.

However, during this period, there were still some people who ran away and were unwilling to follow Sun Ce and Cao Cao.

After Zhao Yun entered the city with a large army, he soon found that Zhong Xuanxun Yu and others remained in the city and did not flee with Cao Cao.

At that moment, Zhao Yun summoned them.

However, some of these people came, while others refused to come to see Zhao Yun.

Although they did not follow Cao Cao to leave for Jiaozhou, it did not mean that they would surrender to Zhao Hui.

They followed Cao Cao from Xudu and fled all the way to Yangzhou, and they were originally loyal to Cao Cao.

Now it's just because Jiaozhou is too remote, and they stay here for the sake of their family.

Moreover, it is estimated that there are still some people among them, who have not followed Cao Cao, but their hearts have followed Cao Cao.

If one day, Cao Cao really came back from Jiaozhou, many of them would return to Cao Cao's command.

Even, there are some people who stay just to find out the news for Cao Cao. Wait for your chance.

They may have just pretended to surrender to Zhao Hui.

But Zhao Hui didn't care

A few days later, he came to Chaisang and again summoned the men left behind by Cao Cao.

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others, who were not invited by Zhao Yun last time, were also invited by Zhao Hui this time.

Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu, it was Zhao Hui who personally came to invite them.

Zhao Hui didn't care how loyal these two people were to Cao Cao, since they didn't follow Cao Cao to Jiaozhou, Zhao Hui was willing to reuse them now.

As long as they are willing to come out and do things, as long as they don't want to go into hiding.

For the ability of the two, Zhao Hui recognized it very much.

Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo, and Zhong Yu can also defend one side.

The original Cao Cao, who was behind him in the early stage, was completely Xun Yu to help him stabilize.

And Zhong Xuan is guarding Chang'an.

Zhao Hui didn't care, why didn't these two people follow Cao Cao to Jiaozhou.

Cao Cao wanted to make a comeback from Jiaozhou, and it was almost impossible.

Even if Cao Cao was in Jiaozhou and researched gunpowder, at that time, the weapons and equipment in Zhao Hui's hands must have been ahead of Cao Cao again.

Zhuge Liang is still in the Yellow Turban Village, studying with Shen Kui and them.

Although Zhuge Liang joined later, a lot of knowledge was learned from Shen Kui.

But the receptivity to new knowledge is very high, and the speed of learning is very fast.

In just a few months, everyone else has learned everything they have learned for years.

Now in the Yellow Turban Village, Zhuge Liang's research ability will not lose to Shen Kui.

Some people are such demons.

What others would take a year to learn, he only needs a few days.

Others have to watch it dozens of times, he only needs to watch it once.

Knowledge that others have been unable to understand, but as long as he listens to others once, he can understand it immediately.

Zhao Hui is now marching south to Yangzhou, but every month, he can also receive news from the Yellow Turban Village.

Zhuge Liang Shen Kui will report the progress to Zhao Hui every month.

The artillery is now being tested, and it won't be long before it can be completely built.

Now the main problem is already the hardness of the barrel.

The barrels currently being tested are easy to scrap and easily explode.

However, Shen Kui Zhuge Liang and them already have a way to improve the hardness of the iron pipe.

They've built better furnaces that can completely melt iron ore and make steel.

According to the news reported by Zhuge Liang and Shen Kui, Zhao Hui estimates that next year they will be able to create the Tiger Squat Cannon or Hongyi Cannon that appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In addition, flintlock pistols or something, they will also be able to be studied quickly.

The process of steel is mature, and these things have drawings provided by Zhao Hui, even if Zhao Hui's drawings have a little flaw, Zhuge Liang Shen Kui can also create them.

Zhao Hui was really not afraid of Sun Ce and Cao Cao escaping.

They are still thinking about researching gunpowder and then fighting against Zhao Hui.

didn't know that Zhao Hui was already studying artillery and flintlock pistols.

At that time, even if they research gunpowder, the gap between them and Zhao Hui will still be wider.

They will be even more desperate.

Xun Chen is now here in Zhao Hui, and it is relatively simple to persuade Xun Yu.

After all, he didn't follow Cao Cao to Jiaozhou, as long as he didn't want to go into hiding, he would be persuaded after all.

For these people, all they want is an identity, just a recognition.

Zhao Hui came to the door in person, which has already shown that he attaches great importance to them.

When they chose to stay in Chaisang, they also thought about it.

If they really didn't want to do anything for Zhao Hui at all, even if they didn't go to Jiaozhou with Cao Cao, they would go to another place instead of staying in Chaisang.

Since he stayed in Chaisang, he was waiting for Zhao Hui's arrival.

Zhao Yun didn't move them before, just because Zhao Yun's identity was not heavy enough.

For top talents like Xun Yu Zhongxuan, first-class celebrities are already famous all over the world, and behind them are top families.

They don't want fame and fortune anymore.

They want recognition of their identity.

If Zhao Hui didn't come in person, they wouldn't take the initiative to come, and if the identity of the person sent was not enough, they would only refuse.

After accepting these people left by Cao Cao, Zhao Hui has more capable people in his hands.

After Zhao Hui arrived in Chaisang, Zhao Yun headed towards Wu County.

Zhao Hui would not be in a hurry to defeat Sun Ce, but he would not give Zhou Yu more time.

Zhao Yun walked in front, and he followed behind.

Everywhere he went, he pacified the people in the city to avoid riots.

From Fankou to Chaisang, Zhao Jun's reputation has begun to ferment in Yangzhou.

Although Sun Ce withdrew, he withdrew all his troops.

But the people in the city, after discovering that Zhao Junjun was strictly disciplined, were not worried that they would be hurt.

In particular, every time Zhao Hui took over a city, he announced that next year's tax would be cut by half.

It quickly won the hearts of the people.

For these people, they may have originally recognized Sun Ce.

But in the face of actual interests, Zhao Hui really gave benefits, so that they could live a better life, and who to support, they naturally had their own judgment in their hearts.

What Zhao Hui gave them was tangible benefits and made their lives better.

But after all, the collection of taxes has not yet begun, and Zhao Hui's move has won some of the people's hearts, but there are still some people who still have doubts in their hearts.

I don't know, what Zhao Hui said is true or false.

In this case, it will take time to prove.

As long as the time comes, if their taxes are really reduced, they will completely fall to Zhao Hui's side.

Even if there were spies left behind by Sun Ce in the city, they would not be able to incite the people to rebel.

But now, in order to ensure that these cities will not be chaotic.

In addition to the 50,000 troops led by Zhao Yun at the front, Zhao Hui's follow-up soldiers and horses, basically every time they arrived in a city, they would leave a group of people to be responsible for the security situation in the city.
