As soon as it was dawn the next day, everyone got up one after another. After a night's buffer, although I fell asleep late, I was in good spirits, because I knew that the future was promising, and people with goals were always full of passion.

Zeng Yu saw that everyone was up, and felt that it was time to discuss the first thing to pay attention to next, and what they should do in order to get a suitable basic plate in the cake in the near future.

In the troubled times, if you want to make a difference, the key is to have territory and population, so that you can select and recruit talents, recruit troops, and compete for the world through these. And they were only studying in the mountains before, and they didn't have a superior family, and some of them were just the identity of a poor scholar. In today's era of official positions through the probationary system, their social status can be said to be only slightly higher than that of commoners. Therefore, how to open up this situation is the most urgent thing at present.

But Zeng Yu knew that there was a good opportunity next - the Yellow Turban Uprising, if it was right, it would break out in two years. Military merit is the only way for them to enter the Han court and gain status. Although they can also use the power of their former peers, it can only be used as a background, they all have their own arrogance, and they don't want to go to the elders for help at the beginning.

In the next Yellow Turban Uprising, in order to achieve merit, there must first be someone, there must be a team, and his idea is to conquer the existing cottages. In the era of the homeless people, there will always be people who gather and rise up, occupy the mountain as the king, and do the thing of cutting the path. With their plan, they will be subdued one by one, and there will be men and horses. Moreover, after they went down the mountain, they were already at the junction of Bingzhou and Jizhou, and it can be said that there are many cottages. By subduing them, they can not only obtain basic men and horses, but also gain the hearts of the people, and through the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the future, the people's hearts can be turned into fame, and then they can take advantage of the situation. In this day and age, fame can sometimes mean status.

But since it is the first step of everyone's conquest, it can't be decided in one word, and it needs to be discussed with everyone, he said his thoughts.

When Wang Qing and the others heard this, they were naturally overjoyed, and they had the opportunity to get their subordinates, and no one who was determined to be on the battlefield would not be excited, and would think of refusing to accept it. But others have different opinions.

"Lord, this is a very good idea, but how can we accept it. If we don't say anything else, we can't kill them directly. Zhang Yi suddenly asked at this time, he was not outstanding in force, and he didn't think about training the team, so he was naturally more rational, so if he had any questions, he raised them directly.

"We can capture the thief and capture the king first, the thieves are originally a rabble, they have not undergone iron-blooded training, most of them were ordinary people before, and they were forced to fall into the grass as a last resort. As long as we control their bosses and kill those who are bloody and vicious, the rest will naturally surrender, and after our training, they will definitely be a strong army." Sun Hao said at this time.

"Zijin is right, I think so too. At this time, the bandits are originally desperate people, and they take this road to survive, if we control the leaders of the bandits, and then tell them that they can live better, it should not be a big problem. When Zeng Yu heard Sun Hao return, he thought that Zijin was really good, and he also thought of one place.

"When the time comes, I will take Wang Qing and others, and a few people will go to a cottage together, Sun Hao, you are waiting for the news below, and after success, we will call you up." Zeng Yu and there are more than 20 people in total, if they go to defect together, it will definitely not work. First, this will make the other party vigilant, and it will be very difficult to act. Second, although Sun Hao and others are better than ordinary people, they are not very good. When there is a conflict, there will be a fight nine times out of ten, and if someone loses, it will be a loss in vain.

After speaking, Zeng Yu looked at everyone, and everyone had no different opinions, so they decided.

After eating the dry food he was carrying, he continued to set off and walked outside. Along the path on the ridge and cliff, with the mountain at its back and the cliff next to it, after most of the day, you finally reached the foot of the mountain. After a short walk at the foot of the mountain, there was a pipeline, and everyone walked out, about an hour, and finally saw outsiders, it should be a group of merchants, a total of three carriages, and about 20 people guarding next to it, I don't know if they went to the town to trade.

Zeng Yu asked everyone to wait, and he himself took Wang Qing and Sun Hao to the caravan, and asked Wang Qing to leave the spark gun here for the time being. The caravan had already seen everyone, and at this time, there were many bandits, and there was a great opportunity when they were traveling outside, but now they suddenly saw more than 20 people appear, and it was impossible to say that they were not worried.

Seeing that Zeng Yu and the others stopped a hundred meters away, only three people came over, which was regarded as a sigh of relief, after all, who doesn't want to go home safely, but there is still vigilance, but the expression is not so nervous.

Zeng Yu and the three of them walked up to the front and asked, "Everyone, we are from the border county, because the Xiongnu are wanton, the elders let us come to Jizhou to join distant relatives, but the relatives have moved away, and we can only fend for ourselves." I don't know which county town is closest to this, so I'll wait to find a way out. Zeng Yu said to the caravan's guards.

A middle-aged man in the lead looked at the three of them, all of them were still very young, and they didn't have any other weapons except the saber and sword they carried at their waists. Besides, seeing that Zeng Yu has been reading all year round, he has a scholarly temperament, which is convincing.

"Little brother, the nearest town is Anping County, I will also go there, you can follow us behind the convoy and go to the county seat together, so that you can take care of it." The middle-aged man said to Zeng Yu, it is more than a day away from the county seat, and they have more than 20 people, and most of them are guards. If they go on the road together, they can still have a response, and if there are bandits, they generally don't dare to violate when they see their pair of approaching fifty people.

"That's good, thank you, uncle." Zeng Yu replied with a smile. After speaking, let Sun Hao go and call the others over, and he and Wang Qing also set off with the caravan. Zeng Yu also sees that middle-aged people don't look like that kind of vicious person, and he is not worried about Wang Qing when he goes out.

"What do you call the little brother, I'll do Zhang, my name is Zhang Fuguang." The middle-aged man asked Zeng Yu beside him.

"It turned out to be Boss Zhang, Xiaosheng's surname is Zeng, his single name is a Yu character, and his face is sharp. This is my brother next to him, surnamed Wang Mingqing, and the word Ziwu. Zeng Yu replied.

"Zirui, I see your temperament, have you ever read at home?" Zhang Fuguang asked Zeng Yu.

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, Xiaosheng also has a few books at home, but he has read them for a few years." Zeng Yu modestly returned.

"In that case, I don't know what the plans of the virtuous brother are in the future?" Zhang Fuguang heard Zeng Yu call him eldest brother, he was originally out of the house, and naturally he was used to being familiar with him, and when he heard Zeng Yu call him so, and heard that he had really read a book, he directly called him a virtuous brother.

"I don't know for the time being, but we believe that there is no way to be endless, and the living can't let their urine suffocate to death, and when they get to the town, they can always find their way." Zeng Yu naturally couldn't confide in outsiders what he really planned, so he thought about it for a while.

"If you need anything, you can also come to me. Our Zhang family has been in business for generations, and it is also a bit of a status in Anping County. ”

"Then thank Brother Zhang first." Zeng Yu heard Zhang Fuguang say this, and first expressed his gratitude, after all, when you are away, it is one more way to have more friends, and if you can, you can't reach a certain cooperation in the future. "I don't know what industry Brother Zhang is?" Zeng Yu took the opportunity to ask again.

"My Zhang family is mainly engaged in the cloth business, and there are some other grains and salt, which are all things like people's livelihood." Zhang Fuguang also gave a brief introduction.

"Then I might really bother Brother Zhang later." When Zeng Yu heard this, he also replied, thinking that the grain and grass needed in the village in the future could not continue to rob like a bandit, and they didn't really say that they would be a bandit, but this method was the most practical and fastest at present. In this way, grain and grass is a big problem, and it is definitely not possible to sit and eat empty, so you have to find a way to hoard some grain and grass first, and then when the Yellow Turban Uprising comes, you can lead your men to fight for war merits.

The two of them came and went, and under the special guidance of Zeng Yu, they also had a certain understanding of Anping County. Anping County is a large county, which belongs to Shangdang County. Because it is guarded by the East Huguan Pass of Bingzhou, it is backed by the Taihang Mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And after the Huguan, it is Jizhou, as the granary of the northern Han Dynasty, Jizhou is fertile land, a large population, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the registered population has been more than 3 million. Because of this, Shangdang County is a large county with a large population in the state, and Anping County is close to Sili Hanoi, from the state to Luoyang will pass by, some of the big businessmen of Jizhou will also go here to Luoyang, Anping County is therefore more prosperous than other places, there are nearly 10,000 households at present, with a population of more than 30,000, although it is not the county seat of the Central Plains County, but compared with other places in the state, it is a county with a large population.

Today's county order is called Cui Yu, which is a distant branch of the Cui family in Qinghe, and has also been in the position of Anping County Commander for more than ten years. Although it didn't do much, it didn't bother the people.

It's just that now that he is older, he also wants to retire, and has been waiting for the new county order assigned by the imperial court, but he has not come for a long time, and everyone is also waiting, hoping that the new county order will not affect everyone. Although everyone is not worried, everyone is deeply rooted in the county, as the saying goes, the strong dragon is not the first snake to suppress the ground. But if we can maintain the current situation without the variables around us, and everyone can get rich together, it will definitely be better. Generally, the county magistrates who come here do not seek anything else, and what they pursue is inaction and no fault, and now this officialdom is not suitable for doing big things.

The group spoke, and soon found that it was getting late. Zhang Fuguang has been walking this road all year round, and he knew that there was a small village not far away, so he told them that it was almost dark, so we would go and rest for the night, and we would continue to travel tomorrow.

When Zeng Yu heard this, he looked at the sky, and knew that he would definitely not be able to reach the county seat today, and he couldn't let everyone hurry at night. Besides, I thought that I would need to use Zhang Fuguang in the future, and it was necessary to maintain this friendship, so I agreed.

It's just that Zeng Yu thought that there were so many of them, would the village be willing to accept them. Zhang Fuguang told him, "Don't worry, we often pass by this place, and we are familiar with the people in the village, so don't worry too much."

When Zeng Yu heard this, he was relieved, and everyone walked to the village.
