Chapter 242: Justifying
"As long as you can follow the prince, even if you cut off your head, you can admit it." Zhou Ji replied with pride, and there was a sense of excitement in his heart.
Xu Ding's subtext was to the effect that he was willing to accept him.
It is an honor for many people to follow Weihaihou, who is the first in the world.
After receiving Zhou Qi, the army continued to march, and as a result, people came to vote one after another, but most of them were people nearby.
Village by village, dragging families to join.
Their situation is similar to that of Xu Wu, Zhou Qi and others, all because of the alliance of the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops have harassed and looted, and I heard that there will be continuous wars here in the future, so they simply follow Xu Ding.
The flock effect is like this, many people don't know why they want to follow Xu Ding, but they just feel that there is no hope here, so they simply cling to it.
By the time Xu Ding and the others entered Chenliu County, the team had swelled to 150,000 people.
This frightened Chen Liutai and Zhang Miao.
One hundred and fifty thousand, mighty and mighty, like a torrent,
However, seeing that it was Xu Ding's banner, Zhang Miao was a little relieved.
"Bokang, why are you so numerous?" When Xu Ding passed by, Zhang Miao came over curiously and asked.
When he left, he only saved 90,000 people in Luoyang.
Looking at the current scale, I am afraid that it is twice as much.
Xu Ding also smiled bitterly: "Brother Meng Zhuo, this is not due to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, when the coalition army crusaded against Dong Zhuo, all kinds of soldiers and horses plagued the township, the food of the people's association was robbed, the family wealth was robbed, and most of the strong men were taken away by them, and the people were afraid, so they followed me to the east." ”
"Ugh!" Zhang Miao was suddenly choked.
There was a look of shame on his face.
He also has a part in the so-called coalition forces!
It's hard to answer.
Seeing this, Xu Ding said: "Brother Meng Zhuo, do you see if you can help and raise some food, otherwise the people will have to go on the road with their stomachs, I'm afraid that they won't be able to go to Donglai, don't worry, I can pay for it." ”
"Ahem! Brother Bokang laughed, Bokang has this great righteousness, even if I am not rich, I have to squeeze some food out, and it will hurt my feelings to talk about money. Zhang Miao is famous for his chivalry, helping the poor, helping others, bankrupting his family, and getting the name of the eight chefs.
Soon Zhang Miao sent a batch of grain over, and the team of 150,000 could finally eat a full meal, and then continue to go out.
When passing through Shanyang County, Xu Ding specially led the team to the county town of Changyi.
"Yuan Yu, listen to me, these people can't live because of the scourge when you were stationed in the Xingyang area, if you don't give me enough food for 150,000 people for three months, Benhou will capture your county government." Xu Ding was not polite and shouted directly into the city.
Yuan Shao's brother, Yuan Shao's brother, is a hardcore supporter of Yuan Shao.
So Xu Ding was unceremonious.
There's no intention of hiding it at all.
"How is it good? How is it good? Yuan Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the city, constantly walking back and forth.
He had no doubt that Xu Ding would attack the city, because the Xu and Yuan families already had enmity, which started with Yuan Kui.
And the recent rumors that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shuqi ambushed Xu Ding in Shuihe are also flying all over the sky, which makes him even more restless.
Xu Ding must want revenge.
Yuan Shao is in the north, Yuan Shu is in the south, Xu Ding can't do anything about them, this ...... This came straight to clean him up.
"Fujun, do you want to give Weihaihou food." Jun Cheng said.
Yuan Yi stopped and asked, "How can this work, let's not say that I don't have so much food, even if I have it, I can't give it to him, what if he doesn't leave?" ”
"Ugh! Fu Jun I think Weihai Hou is not such a person, he is known as a virtuous name, he values righteousness and Nojin, he does what he says, he has no excuse to attack the city when he gives food, and he will retreat. Jun Cheng explained.
"Hmmm! Some of the truth makes sense. Yuan Yi thought about it carefully, and this is really the reason.
Xu Ding is domineering, and he has to keep his promise and not ruin his reputation.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, and he had no choice but to say: "That's it, send away this Wen Shen first, give him all our food, and gather the major families in the city, let them also donate some, if you want to be promised to attack the city to raid the family and exterminate the clan, you can not donate." ”
The major families in the city were threatened by Yuan Yiyi, thinking about the fate of the Donglai family and the Beihai family, and they scraped together enough food for 150,000 people for three months in half a day.
But half of it was converted into money, and if it was all food, it would not be possible for them to really pull it all out of the city for a while.
Xu Ding was a lion's mouth, so he was not picky, took the money and food and continued to set off.
From Shanyang County is Xuzhou.
Ahem!
Tao Qian seems to be one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, so Xu Ding took people and stopped at Lanling City in Donghai County.
It is only a few dozen miles away from Tao Qian's Xuzhou Zhizhi Tancheng.
"What do you mean? What does this mean? Tao Qian heard that Xu Ding stopped in Donghai County and did not leave, and let the cavalry graze around Danxian every day, and asked his subordinates with anxiety.
His confidant Cao Hong hesitated and said, "My lord, the Marquis of Weihai may be ...... Maybe you want us to be like Shanyang County and give us some money and food......"
"Humph! Didn't Yuan Boye give him three months of grain and grass? Why, he still wants to get some from me. Tao Qian was a little angry.
I think that when he came to Xuzhou, he also relied on thunderbolt means to bloodily suppress the Yellow Turban, and then killed a group of people to suppress the arrogance of the Xuzhou family, which secured the position of Xuzhou Assassin.
I haven't used the knife for a long time, I am modest and modest, and I really think he is a good stubble.
The autumn wind hit me here.
"That's what he meant, my lord. I have long heard that this Xu Ding is domineering and arrogant, I have done my own thing, I regard myself as a great meritorious, and no one ...... in my eyes, "Cao Hong's family is a family, and he naturally has no good impression of Xu Ding, so he took the opportunity to slander Xu Ding, and constantly put eye drops."
However, Tao Qian's Zhizhong Wang Lang said: "Lord, the Marquis of Weihai is known as a virtuous name, outstanding in writing, it should be the army all the way, tired and need to rest, I heard that he asked Yuan for food, it is because the Yuan family ambushed in Xingyang, Weihai Hou can repay the grievances with virtue, only take money and food does not hurt people, did not take the city, but is a great good." ”
Zhao Yu, a celebrity here in Tao Qian, just bowed to him as a farewell, and also said: "Envoy, Jing Xing's words are reasonable!" ”
"There is a fart truth, the lord wants me to say, just drive Xu Ding away, this is Xuzhou, not Qingzhou or Youzhou, others are afraid of him, we are not afraid." On the other side, a military general who looked a little thief-eyed stood up and said, he was Tao Qian's military general Cao Bao.
Cao Bao and Cao Hong are of the same clan, both of them are members of the Cao family of the great family of Xuzhou, and they also dislike Xu Ding.
"This ......" on the one hand is a celebrity, the great scholars Wang Lang and Zhao Yu under the rule, and on the other hand, there are henchmen Cao Bao and Cao Hong, Tao Qian is a little embarrassed for a while, who should he listen to.
