Chapter 235: The more the merrier
Cheng Yuanzhi also has to arrange all the civil and military people under his command properly, and he can't favor one over the other, lest the civil ministers and military generals carry them up and increase internal friction, Cheng Yuanzhi first looked at Guo Jia and Liu Bei, and commanded in a deep voice:
"Fengxiao, this Sikong ordered you to stay in the capital Luoyang, and lead all the soldiers and horses guarding the palace gate and Zhenjiazhuang Courtyard, with you as the main thing, and act at the opportunity. Xuande, you are the general of Luoyang's soldiers and horses, and Yun Chang and Yide are both your left and right lieutenants. Luoyang, the capital city, is complicated and the situation is chaotic, you must not rush forward, and you should be safe. If you really can't do anything, then quickly withdraw from the capital Luoyang, go to the place where the sour jujube and the air soldiers of this division are united, and then slowly plot. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi must take Wu Kuang away, after all, Wu Kuang has been in Luoyang for too long, once Cheng Yuanzhi leaves Luoyang, Wu Kuang is very likely to be rebelled by other forces, it is better to take Wu Kuang with him, Xu Yigao is a high-ranking official, and after a while, Wu Kuang is impressed by Cheng Yuanzhi's personality charm and strong wrists, so it will not be a problem where Wu Kuang wants to send him as a general.
And Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are different, although everyone is capable of standing alone, and even has their own ideas, but Cheng Yuanzhi does not doubt the loyalty of Guo Jia and these people, as long as they give Guo Jia and Liu Bei and others what they want, they can naturally tie these people to their side.
Hang the carrot in front of the donkey, and the donkey will go forward desperately, chasing the carrot, and occasionally giving the donkey a few bites of the carrot, and the donkey will be more motivated.
This is Cheng Yuanzhi's attitude towards Liu Bei and others, you can not recognize Cheng Yuanzhi as the main father, but it doesn't matter, if you want to get something from Cheng Yuanzhi, you have to pay the corresponding price, or help Cheng Yuanzhi make enough credit.
"My lord, Jiading lives up to the trust of my lord and fights with many forces in Luoyang." Guo Jia straightened the literati's uniform, looked calm, hugged his fists and saluted, and responded.
If he withdraws directly from the capital Luoyang, it will make Guo Jia feel regretful, and the lord who doesn't dare to try, it will be too cowardly.
Although Guo Jia can understand Cheng Yuanzhi, after all, Cheng Yuanzhi led his family to drag his mouth, there are Cai Yan and Diao Chan here in Luoyang alone, and Zhen Ji and Zhang Ning on the other side of Youqing, it can't be too risky, so Cheng Yuanzhi is already very grateful for such an arrangement.
As the lord of the father, he is as good as a stream, he does not engage in autocracy, makes random decisions, makes a word, and makes a final decision, etc., which is generous for Guo Jia, and he is the master.
"The last will be ordered!" Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all saluted and received military orders.
Liu Bei is also very excited, not to mention that he has taken over Wu Kuang's soldiers and horses, surrounded by strong enemies here in Luoyang, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Liu Bei dares to let go and break through, when Liu Bei recruited 500 villagers, he has already given it a go, and went to fight against Cheng Yuanzhi's 50,000 Yellow Turban army.
With 500 against 50,000, it was a bit of an egg hitting a stone, and in the end it was a fiasco, so he could only take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and demote Cheng Yuanzhi, but Liu Bei did not regret it, if he didn't have the slightest fighting spirit, how could he have a chance to succeed.
Liu Bei is now living in the plains, but Liu Bei knows that if he wants to go further, he has to make more contributions and reflect greater value.
Fortunately, opportunities will always come to those who are prepared, Liu Bei finally has a big job again, or wrestling with Yuan Shao of the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third prince of the fourth world, and Cao Cao of the Cao family after the eunuch, which makes Liu Bei can't help but fight chicken blood, and he can't wait to rush out now and take charge of Wu Kuang's army.
"Xi Zhicai, Wu Kuang, Er and others hired a large number of people for this Sikong, and Ben Sikong wants to exchange all the money for grain and grass, and use the caravan of the Zhen family to transport the grain and grass back to Youqing and Qing. Ben Sikong personally led the team and stationed it in Sour Zao, and by the way, he sent Yan'er and Diao Chan back to Youzhou first. Well, you remember to protect Cai Yilang, the old man of the company, and send Cai Yilang to Liu Yu, so that they can join forces to start the academy and cultivate more literati. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi is short of people who can help govern the county, and if he is a fierce general, he doesn't need to train at all, just choose among the veterans of a hundred battles in the army and the generals who often win.
Since he was going to leave Luoyang and retreat to sour dates and other places, he simply took advantage of the fact that the price of grain and grass in Luoyang had not yet risen, and transported a large amount of grain and grass back first. With the rations in hand, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't panic when something big happened.
Although Wu Kuang just followed Cheng Yuanzhi not long ago, he recognized Cheng Yuanzhi as the main father, and the soldiers and horses in his hands were deprived by Cheng Yuanzhi, but Wu Kuang did not feel a pity, this little soldier and horse was still less than 5,000, which was not a matter at all. On the way back just now, Wu Kuang had already secretly inquired with Dian Wei about working under Cheng Yuanzhi, even if it was a county guard like Gongsun Zhan, there were twenty or thirty thousand Baima Yizi under his command, or even more.
Wu Kuang has hope in his heart, he can't mix with the county guard, but if he gets a lieutenant or something like that from Cheng Yuanzhi, it is definitely more than enough, and it is as easy as a snap, and there should be a lot of soldiers and horses at that time, maybe he can make war exploits and be promoted to the county guard.
"Lord, Zhicai will plan for the lord to evacuate Luoyang, garrison the matter of sour jujube, open up the passage between Youzhou and sour jujube, ensure that everything is orderly, do not delay the progress, and escort the lady and others to evacuate Luoyang safely and return to Youzhou."
Xi Zhicai didn't feel much pressure on such a trivial matter as retreating, and even began to think about how to get more ordinary people for Cheng Yuanzhi, as well as food and grass.
For example, if the ordinary people of Luoyang were promised to return to live in Youqing and Youqing, they would send land and land, provide residential houses, and distribute money.
As for the matter of grain and grass, it is better to say that it is difficult to measure the amount of grain and grass that can be obtained by directly playing the name of Cheng Yuanzhi, showing the official position of Sikong, and the coordination of the wealthy businessman Zhen family.
Xi Zhicai didn't think about using Cheng Yuanzhi's money to buy grain and grass, and planned to use the money as a deposit and directly account to the merchants in Luoyang.
The more the merrier, those who come do not refuse.
Xi Zhicai believes that with the profit-seeking nature of these grain merchants, they will definitely scavenge countless grains and grasses for Cheng Yuanzhi, and maybe after the grain and grass in Luoyang is scavenged, they will go to Hanzhong, Nanyang, Runan and other places to help Cheng Yuanzhi buy grain and grass and transport it, and earn profits from intermediate sales.
"The Last General's Order." Wu Kuang is just a pure military general, just act according to orders, especially Cheng Yuanzhi also sent Xi Zhicai as a strategist, and Cheng Yuanzhi personally led the team, Wu Kuang didn't have to worry too much at all, just do his job well.
