Chapter 173: Raising Troops in Donglai (Part I)

The name Dong Zhao, Yan Shao is somewhat impressed, which is one of the reasons why he is so enthusiastic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoGenerally speaking, people who can leave their names in history are extraordinary people, and even if they are stupid, they are definitely stupider than ordinary fools.

What's more, Tai Shici was admiring Yan Shao along the way, so it can be seen that this Dong Zhao is not the latter...

It's just that what he doesn't know is that in the original history, after Dong Zhao abandoned Yuan Shao again, he defected to Cao Cao, but now he chooses Yan Shao. If you know this, I'm afraid that Yan Shao will be proud...

It's not surprising that there are not many people who can be called heroes at this time, Yuan Shao counts one, Cao Cao counts one, and Sun Jian in the south is also counted as one, what about the rest?

Maybe Liu Bei is also one, but his power is too small, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of others. This is also one of the reasons why in the early days, except for a few fierce generals under the account, few strategists were willing to defect.

Cao Cao is also a hero, and his performance is also very good. But not long after the end of the battle against Dong, he was also in a state of adrift, and there were not many generals under him. At this time, Yan Shao's performance was more eye-catching, firstly, he was a tiger in the North Sea, with many soldiers and generals, and secondly, he also had a prestige.

The ability is not well known for the time being, but when he was in the coalition army, he was humorous, cheerful, and generous, and these were what he saw with his own eyes. Compared with Yuan Shao, who was indecisive and a little cautious, he made a decision. It's not a strange thing to choose who to choose.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Regardless of Dong Zhao's talent for the time being, this is his first strategist, Yan Shao took Dong Zhao's arm and walked into the main hall, and let him sit beside him. When the servant came up with the wine glass, Yan Shao waved his hand and signaled the servant to retreat for the time being, and then personally picked up the wine vessel and filled it for Dong Zhao.

Seeing Yan Shao's move, Dong Zhao was a little moved, and hurriedly took the wine cup from Yan Shao's hand and drank it all.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Eh, why should Gongren be like this..."After saying that, Yan Shao patted Dong Zhao's arm. Shao has always wanted to raise troops to fight thieves, assist the young emperor, and help the Han family, but I hate that there is no wise man who can negotiate together, and now Gongren is here, it is God's gift to me..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao's eyes rolled slightly, paying attention to Dong Zhao's expression. "I don't know what Gongren can teach me?"

How powerful Dong Zhao is, after all, these are what Tai Shici told him, and he doesn't understand how powerful he actually is, so he inevitably hesitates. Now that I have done what I should have done, I naturally want to really understand this person's ability.

Dong Zhao was silent for a moment, knowing that Yan Shao wanted to test his ability.

Fortunately, before he met Yan Shao, he already had a case in his heart, so he was not caught off guard by Yan Shao's hand.

I saw Dong Zhao get up from his seat and walk to the bottom of the steps to Yan Shao. "The Lord raised righteous soldiers to eliminate the riots, this is a righteous act, and the heroes of the world have defected, precisely for this reason. However, today's princes are divided, if they can't enhance their strength, it is easy to be trapped, the lord is now in the North Sea, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe has just died, this is the heaven will Qingzhou to my lord also, if the lord does not take, is it a pity? In the coming days, when the lord and tiger are in Qingzhou, you can sit and watch the world, and then connect with loyal and righteous people, and raise troops to assist Han, which is as easy as a snap..."

Dong Zhao said impassionedly, but Yan Shao in the seat was unmoved.

These are just clichΓ©s, even Yan Shao himself can figure it out, and he doesn't need Dong Zhao to tell him at all. If Dong Zhao's ability is limited to this, Yan Shao's evaluation of him is only afraid that it will be a little low...

Looking at Yan Shao's appearance, Dong Zhao also knew that his new lord didn't seem to be very satisfied, so he lowered his head and thought about it, and threw out some hidden goods.

"I don't know what the lord thinks about the yellow scarves in Qingzhou?"

He didn't talk about any general direction strategy to Yan Shao, but Yan Shao is just a Beihai Taishou now, and it is a little too early to talk to him about the general direction of strategy. Let's talk about some practical, practical things that can expand our strength in a short period of time...

"What do you mean?" Yan Shao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the wine cup in his hand was also placed on the table, obviously with some interest.

There is no way, not to mention Yan Shao, what Dong Zhao said before, even a few officials under his command who are not very good can say it. It can really only be regarded as a clichΓ©, if it is like this, it can be called a great talent, and there are inevitably too many great talents in these years, but Yan Shao is very interested in these things that involve tangible interests.

"Yellow turbans, thieves, but there are more than 100,000 yellow scarves in Qingzhou, but this is a huge number that no one can underestimate. If these thieves cause trouble, it will definitely be a big trouble, but if they can be used, they can expand the strength of the lord in a short period of time. ”

"You need to know that among the more than 100,000 yellow turbans, after deducting the old and weak, there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 young and strong left, and what is lacking is nothing more than grain, grass, and ordnance.

Of course, it is not easy to do this, first of all, there are more than 100,000 yellow turbans in Qingzhou, and these people do not seem to be very strong in combat. But there are too many of them, and they are also very scary. Yan Shao's soldiers and horses were less than 10,000 people, and it was really difficult to defeat the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

The second is how to surrender, the yellow turban is very wary of the officers and soldiers, and this wariness has been accumulated in previous wars. Not to mention anything else, the Jingguan built by Huangfu Song back then made a lot of efforts in it, and the capture of the yellow scarves in many places was also very direct to kill them all, and there were few who were taken in.

There is only Yan Shao, Dong Zhao once understood after arriving in Beihai, Yan Shao collected many prisoners of war in the process of conquering the Yellow Turbans, selected the best ones to supplement the army, and the rest were sent to the local area to repair some water conservancy bridges and other projects.

It is precisely with this experience that Dong Zhao will show such a strategy.

The troubled times have come, and only with enough soldiers and horses and grain and grass can they gain a foothold, and the Yellow Turban located in Qingzhou is the best way to expand its strength―――――― it is no different from a big tonic.

The only problem is that these thieves are somewhat unruly, and if they are directly absorbed, I am afraid that their combat effectiveness will not be very strong. After all, they are just thieves, and they have not received any systematic training, so it is difficult to say that there is any special guarantee for combat effectiveness.

In addition, ordnance is also a big problem, and the ordnance of more than 30,000 people is not so easy to get. Coupled with the bad military discipline, if one is not done well, I am afraid that the local resentment will boil.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In fact, Yan Shao had already taken a fancy to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, in his opinion, this was like an empirical medicine, and if he took it, he could immediately improve a lot of levels. But this pill also has great side effects, it is one thing to eat it, and it is another thing to be able to withstand the toxic side effects.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Qingzhou Army...

Although this army is famous in history, the consequences are also great. One of them is that he is too unruly, and basically he doesn't accept anyone except Cao Cao. After Cao Cao died, he simply disbanded himself.

And even when Cao Cao was alive, there were many rebellions, and military discipline was almost corrupted to the extreme. Especially during the battle of Wancheng, because Cao Cao was made of prostitution, these people made a fuss, if it weren't for Yu Ban's beauty, I am afraid that things are about to become out of control.

Putting such a soldier and horse in Qingzhou, wouldn't it be a mess of Qingzhou.

After living in Qingzhou for so many years, he still has a lot of affection for this land, but he doesn't want to make the people resentful just because of such a disobedient army and horses.

In the same way in Qingzhou, Yan Shao doesn't feel that his charm value is more powerful than Cao Cao. Those heroes had no way to control the Qingzhou Army, and he didn't have much confidence in himself.

However, the most important point is the issue of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army in history is not particularly strong. The only victorious battle in which the Qingzhou soldiers participated was the battle to break Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and everyone knows that this 'victory' was Cao Cao's indulgence of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, which led to the destruction of the people by the Qingzhou soldiers. It is not denied that this was acquiesced by Cao Cao, at least not actively prevented, but the Qingzhou soldiers fully demonstrated their thief nature in this battle, and directly brought irreparable damage to Cao Cao's reputation. However, Cao Cao endured. The reason is that the Qingzhou soldiers, driven by the desire to plunder, were able to defeat the Danyang elite soldiers led by Guan Zhang's two 10,000-strong enemies, and their combat effectiveness was remarkable, so Cao Cao tolerated their atrocities.

But then what?

LΓΌ Bu attacked Yanzhou, and Cao Cao returned to fight with him. The result? "Bu sent troops to fight, first to cavalry Qingzhou soldiers. Qingzhou soldiers run, Taizu Chen chaos, galloped out of the fire, fell from the horse, and burned the palm of his left hand. Sima Lou helped Taizu to get on the horse and led him away. This became one of the worst battles Cao Cao lost in his life, if it weren't for Lu Bu's eyes were not particularly good, and there were some problems in intelligence, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not have the glory of the future―――――― even if he was a hero? What's the use of a dead hero?

After all, the Qingzhou soldiers are surrendered troops, and they will not really fight for Cao Cao, and they are driven by interests when they conquer Tao Qian, so they are brave, and they naturally have no reason to fight hard when fighting against the world-famous Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu.

When it came to the battle of Wancheng, it was even more straightforward, which also caused Cao Cao to completely lose confidence in the Qingzhou soldiers.

Moreover, from the establishment of the Qingzhou soldiers to the death of Cao Cao, there has not been a famous general among the many Qingzhou soldiers, which is too strange. After all, the number of Qingzhou soldiers in history is quite large, even if these are all from poor people, it is not even a brave general?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Yan Shao told Dong Zhao his concerns, all of them were the truth...

To be honest, he was still a little disappointed in Dong Zhao before, but he was also a rare strategist, and he was more or less able to have someone to communicate with, which was much better than not even having someone who could communicate before.

Listening to Yan Shao's worries, Dong Zhao was also silent for a while.

He never thought that Yan Shao would think so long-term, not only thinking about the issue of co-opting the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but also thinking about what might happen after the co-optation.

Although Yan Shao is just speculation, with Dong Zhao's understanding of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, these speculations will be realized to a large extent.

Dong Zhao also felt a little headache about this.

After all, Yan Shao's jurisdiction is only a county in Beihai now, if these yellow scarves are forcibly co-opted, and when they make a fuss, to be honest, such a small place in Beihai is really a little unbearable.

So...

"It's not impossible to arrive, the lord can divide it into several parts after the incorporation, and then slowly infiltrate, as long as the distance between these parts is far enough, I believe that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will not act rashly, but this requires the lord to be able to come up with a part of the actual performance, otherwise it is just a Beihai County, I'm afraid there is no way to meet this requirement..."

The solution that Dong Zhao came up with is a very stupid, but very effective method, which is to divide and infiltrate. Let the collected yellow scarves be divided into several or even more parts, and then let people infiltrate them, so that no matter how stubborn these yellow scarves are, they can only kneel obediently.

In the final analysis, if the left and right are not just thieves, how can they confront the official army?

Yan Shao listened, thought about it, and thought that this idea was quite good.

As long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can be divided into several parts and not allowed to hold together, then under Yan Shao's control, it will be difficult for these people to make any trouble...

"It's justβ€”" Yan Shao thought a little strangely. This method, why didn't Cao Cao think of it..."

In fact, it was not that Cao Cao didn't think of it, but that he didn't have such a good opportunity for Yan Shao. When Cao Cao incorporated the Qingzhou Army, it was when the Yellow Turbans from all over the country were relocated to Qingzhou, and there were millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou at that time, making Qingzhou, which had been plagued by a lot, almost a white land.

It was by co-opting these Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that Cao Cao was able to form a Qingzhou army of up to 300,000.

But considering the number of Qingzhou troops, one can imagine how difficult it would be to separate such a group of Qingzhou troops. In addition, the Qingzhou army is wild and untamable, and there are many of them, even Cao Cao has to be a little jealous.

On the other hand, the current Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, such as Jizhou or several other regions have not yet poured in, such as Beihai, such as the Yellow Turbans hard-hit areas, but also because of Yan Shao's relationship has become a paradise-like place, Qingzhou's existing yellow scarves are only more than 100,000, compared with the millions of yellow scarves in history, the gap is too big―――――――― although Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can really have a million is still difficult to say.

"If you want to co-opt these yellow scarves, I'm afraid you have to seize the entire Qingzhou first, I don't know who Mr. thinks should be taken first?"

"Donglai!" Facing Yan Shao's question, Dong Zhao replied without hesitation. "Donglai is too shou Cai Qi, but he is an incompetent person, he has been caught in the strategy of General Taishi before, and the soldiers and horses under his command have lost about eighty percent, and only some remnants of the defeated soldiers are left to retreat to Donglai, this person has repeatedly provoked the lord before, and this time he is looking for his own death, who should he take if he doesn't open the knife first..."

Yan Shao nodded, he was really resentful of Cai Cheng, not to mention anything else, the fact that he sent someone to buy Tai Shici before made Yan Shao extremely angry. I can't wait to kill Cai Qi in person.

"But what if I send someone to Donglai County to recruit surrender? Then Cai Qi doesn't know the current affairs, there should always be someone under his command who understands the truth that the current affairs are junjie..."After pondering for a moment, Yan Shao asked. "Now there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Donglai County, and they have to be divided into various places, I am afraid that there are only three or five hundred soldiers and horses that can be given to Cai Qi, how can I compete with the army under my command, Donglai County should also have some smart people, if I send someone to lobby over, maybe I can get miraculous results..."

This is Yan Shao's idea, even if Cai Qi dies, others will not die together. If you send someone to Donglai County, maybe you can say that the family and some other people in Donglai County oppose Cai Qi, and if you don't need him to do it, someone has already offered Cai Qi's head.

However, after listening to his words, Dong Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said. "The lord can't be like this, this Cai Qi is a rare prop, how can the lord just destroy it like this..."

"What do you mean?" Yan Shao didn't understand Dong Zhao's words...

Dong Zhao hugged his fists and saluted, very sincerely.

"This Cai Qi has repeatedly provoked the lord, he really deserves to die, as for the rest of the people, I believe they will not follow Cai Qi to Huangquan Road, but what about the rest?"

"The rest?"

It is precisely that the counties in Qingzhou are now more inclined to the lord, which confirms the controversy of the lord's army to eliminate violence. But they will do this, partly out of dissatisfaction with Jiaohe, and partly in the hope of being protected by the lord. Instead of really wanting to submit to the lord, if the lord just persuaded Donglai to surrender with some words, I was afraid that he would soon have to deal with the problems of several other counties. ”

Compared with Donglai County, the strength of these counties has not been greatly affected, and if one county is captured one by one, not to mention casualties, it is also a problem in terms of time. It is better to choose an object to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, this chicken must be famous, and its strength must be relatively weak, Qingzhou Six Counties, Donglai County is undoubtedly the most in line with the requirements.

First of all, the strength of the other counties is relatively well preserved, even the worst Le'an County has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. And as this period of time has recovered, the number of soldiers and horses has also risen.

For the rest, Jinan is a little worse, but it has not been affected by anything.

Qi is relatively poor, civil strife is endless, but its own strength is the strongest one in Qingzhou except for Beihai, even if the state of civil strife is not very easy to provoke, if people are united, it will be a loss for both sides to win in the end.

There is only Donglai County, and the strength of Donglai County is not bad, but Cai Qi died by himself. actually led the troops to attack, and finally led to the annihilation of the whole army, and now Donglai County is the weakest time, and it is definitely the best choice to use him to open the knife...

"When the lord solves Cai Qi with the power of thunder, the other counties will be shocked, and I believe it will be very clear what to choose..." )
