Chapter 174: Raising Troops in Donglai (Middle)

Some of Dong Zhao's words are indeed clichΓ©s, but some are very insightful, especially on the issue of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info considering that he is not a traverser, this is even more valuable.

Although Yan Shao disliked that he was not as famous as Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu or Xun Yu, he also knew that the person in front of him was indeed a great talent, at least much stronger than the few muscles around him.

"What do you think of Gongren's proposal?"

In the main hall, all the generals under his account except Huang Zhong were gathered, and Yan Shao informed everyone of what he had discussed with Dong Zhao yesterday.

Of course, I didn't say anything about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but just talked about the solution to Donglai County. Yan Shao's resentment towards Cai Qi is undoubted, but from another perspective, war is not the only way to make himself happy. If someone can send Cai Qi's head, Yan Shao is also very happy.

On the other hand, if the army is raised, not to mention the casualties, the consumption of grain and grass alone is not a small amount. Donglai County did suffer heavy losses, and Yan Shao's superiority in troops was also unprecedentedly high. But defending the city has never been unreasonable, and if you want to capture Huangxian and several other cities, how many people need to die Yan Shao himself is not clear. But how do you want to give it to hundreds of people?

If this loss can be avoided, it will be excellent for Yan Shao's hegemony...

But Dong Zhao's words also reminded him that the six counties of Qingzhou and Beihai County are not mentioned for the time being, the Qi State is in civil strife, the Jinan State is neutral, and Le'an and Pingyuan are inclined to Yan Shao. However, all this does not mean that Yan Shao's influence can really affect the affairs of these two counties, Beihai County and the other two counties are equal in status and on an equal footing, which is also one of the reasons why Pingyuan and Le'an County are willing to be influenced by Yan Shao.

They are Yan Shao's little followers, but it doesn't mean that they are Yan Shao's belongings, theoretically speaking, both parties are equal. And they are also very satisfied with their current status, on the one hand, they can get Yan Shao's help, and on the other hand, they maintain their independence.

But if Yan Shao plans to break through this boundary, then the problem will be a little troublesome. At least these families don't seem to be willing to let their status change from a follower to a slave all of a sudden...

No one dares to guarantee that if Yan Shao shows his ambitious side, these counties will turn against Yan Shao. At this time, if you use some gentle methods, I am afraid that it will only encourage the resistance of these counties, and it will also give them time to prepare, so that it is better to quickly cut through the mess and directly solve all the problems.

At that time, the other counties that were frightened by Yan Shao's soldiers and horses might not be able to surrender the city directly. Just like Han Fu in history to Yuan Shao, Han Fu at that time sat in Jizhou and was one of the biggest princes in the world, and Yuan Shao? If it sounds good, it is a hero, and if it is not good, it is sent to the fence, as long as Han Fu cuts off his supply, Yuan Shao is afraid that he will have to plant a big heel.

It's a pity that Han Fu is a timid guy, he was actually frightened by people, and dedicated his territory and everything to Yuan Shao, and finally committed suicide in the toilet because he was too frightened, which is really embarrassingβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, his existence has also made many people understand that there are not only heroes in this world, but also many ordinary people like him.

"I agree with Mr. Gongren's opinion..."After listening to the narration, Guan Hai was the first to express his position, looking very excited.

It is not surprising that as a belligerent, he is the most martial artist in the Beihai family. In addition, this time Cai Qi came to look for death, in his opinion, the best way to fight back is to pull Cai Qi out of his bed, and then execute him in front of everyone!

If they have to wait for someone to betray them, when will it be?

Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo also nodded, and Guan Hai was the same thought, for those of them who had a strong mind, it was easier and more direct to fight with real knives and guns.

Tai Shici and Zhao Yun thought more, but they also agreed with Dong Zhao's opinion.

It is indeed not very easy to persuade several other counties to surrender with a three-inch tongue, so it is better to find a family to kill chickens and monkeys first, and when the other counties are afraid, they will naturally give up the placeβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” at least there will be a lot of trouble...

"Gongren's proposal is really good, if we wait to go westward like this, it may be easier to solve the endless turmoil in Qi, but Le'an County and Pingyuan Jun may not be willing to obey us, and that Jinan country has always remained neutral and looks like it doesn't care about the world, but this time I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain this posture..."In fact, the attitude of Jinan is not difficult to understand, before Jiao He died, the situation in Qingzhou was still relatively stable. Qi plus Donglai County, against Beihai plus Pingyuan and Le'an.

Among them, the strength of Qi is the strongest among all counties, even if there are fewer soldiers and horses. As the foundation of the Qi State back then, the richness of the Qi State was not something that several other counties could catch up with in a short time, even if it was Beihai, the only thing that suffered was the history of Jiao and such a thorn.

There is also Dongnae County, which also has a certain strength.

On the other hand, on Yan Shao's side, Beihai is indeed strong, but it still relies more on Yan Shao, the monarch, and his subordinates. As for the plains and Le'an, one is the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban, and the other is the Yellow Turban, if it weren't for Yan Shao's help, I'm afraid that even the county seat would have been captured, and the strength of these two armies can be imagined.

In terms of numbers, these counties are certainly a three-to-two situation, but from another point of view, the two sides are a little evenly matched, at least in the eyes of outsidersβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Yan Shaozhi felt that with Tai Shici and others, it was no problem to sweep Qingzhou.

Since the situation in Qingzhou is relatively balanced, why should Jinan be in a hurry?

If you support Jiao He, on the one hand, you will offend Yan Shao, and on the other hand, if something happens in the future, it will be difficult to get the support of Beihai County.

As for supporting Yan Shao? I am not afraid of offending Jiao He, but the balance of power will inevitably tilt. Today's Jinan is reluctant to grovel to another young man who is theoretically equal, and he doesn't want to become someone else's subordinate for some reason, so neutrality has become an inevitable choice...

Now that Yan Shao has jumped out and wants to unify the entire Qingzhou, who knows if Jinan will be so indifferent?

But if one of them comes first to make an example of Donglai County, raze Donglai County to the ground first, and then let Cai Qi pay the price he deserves, the other counties that are deterred may not be willing to go against Yan Shao's will, so that Yan Shao can wave his army to compete with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After a while, the decision was issued...

The thousands of soldiers and horses who had just returned to Beihai and had not rested for long, together with Yan Shao's 1,000 Dare Pioneers and 800 Jinfan Army, were mobilized.

Of course, I'm afraid this time will be a bit long. Forget about the other soldiers and horses, they stayed in Beihai to rest for a while, but the Dare First Army is different from the Jinfan Army, not to mention that this road was already tossed, not to mention that this time in order to rush back to Beihai as soon as possible, they also traveled day and night, and the war horses were tired, even people, it was a little difficult to set off without resting for a while.

"However, at the moment, there are so many official duties, and there are so many things to prepare, the lord just ran over like this, it is inevitable that there are some..."

He would smile bitterly that it wasn't because Yan Shao came to him, to be honest, if it was just a simple placement, I was afraid that Dong Zhao would be happy, which showed that his monarch had a good relationship with him.

The problem is that now Dong Zhao is already Yan Shao's subordinate, and as the only strategist, he also needs to shoulder a very important responsibility, not to mention anything else, Dong Zhao needs to be responsible for the grain and grass and other aspects of this mobilization of soldiers and horses, and he has only one person, so he is busy in full swing, and the disturbance and harassment of Yan Shao is a little...

Helpless...

"Actually, I'm here for this purpose..."I took out an official document from the table, glanced at it, and felt that my head hurt a little, Yan Shao hurriedly put down the official document. Gongren is a great talent in the world, this Shao already knows, but the so-called more the merrier, now just a matter of Beihai has made Gongren so hard, if he wins Qingzhou in the future, Gongren's body and bones may be ......... So I came to ask Gongren, but what are the familiar and talented people to recommend? ”

But Yan Shao remembered something, some scholars in these years are very familiar with each other, especially those who are talented. For example, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu are basically equivalent to a teacher's disciples, as well as some other strategists in this era, it should be said that some of them really don't know each other, but some of them may be more familiar.

Not to mention anything else, Xun Yu alone recommended a large number of talents to Cao Cao, including Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc., which greatly enriched the group of strategists under Cao Cao's account.

Since Dong Zhao is also a talented person, maybe he can also know one or two people of the same level. Even if it is not at the level of Xun Yu or Guo Jia, the level of Chen Gong is not badβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” if Lu Bu could listen to Chen Gong more back then, maybe he would not be overflowed to death on the top of the White Gate Tower.

And if you can have a few more strategists to help, at least in the future, you can deal with government affairs or some other things, and you can be much more relaxed, and even discuss things with a few more people.

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Dong Zhao couldn't help but ponder for a while.

Strictly speaking, he really knows a few great talents, at least his talent is definitely not inferior to him, if he can attract it, at least it will definitely be a great help for Yan Shao's great cause. It's just that knowing is knowing, but whether the other party is willing to come is another matter.

"Zhao does have so many friends, and they all have talents, but the distance is far away, coupled with the frequent wars, it is difficult to say whether they can still be contacted..."

"In addition, Zhao suggested that the lord could look for more in Qingzhou, and maybe he could get something..."

"I also had such thoughts, but the great talents of Qingzhou are too deeply hidden, and I can't find them at all..."Yan Shao was also a little distressed, he had done this kind of thing before, but unfortunately he basically didn't find anything that could be used, and the only thing that could be regarded as a harvest was Wu Anguo. Dong Zhao was sent to the door by himself, and the rest was basically recruited by Yan Shao.

This made him a little suspicious, is there too few talents in Qingzhou? Otherwise, how could there be such a scarcity? Wu is okay, one Tai Shici, one Guan Hai, and one Wu Anguo are all good, but in terms of strategy, this is really...

"Otherwise, now there is a great talent in Beihai, why doesn't the lord go to visit one or two?" Hearing Yan Shao say this, Dong Zhao smiled mysteriously.

"You mean?" Yan Shao realized

Mmmm, I'll make it up right later, I'm sorry ha~~~
