Volume 2 West River White Boyan Section 7 Crisis

After annexing this exile tribe that originally belonged to Dong Zheng, the number of people in Zhao Hong's team expanded. Chief Zhao felt that he had been promoted from a simple Baoji tribal chief to the leader of the Baoji Zhai Tribal Alliance. Although Zhang Yang is no longer recruiting troops in Jinyang, but has become a robbery-robbery bandit group, Zhao Hong, who has become the leader of the tribal alliance, does not plan to return to Shiyi. There is no turning back from the bow, since he has walked hundreds of miles to the west, he must continue to go to Bingzhou to make a living.

At present, various forces in Bingzhou are staggered, including Zhang Yangjun, who has become a bandit, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army------- Baibo Army, which have developed based on the Baibo Valley of the Xihe River, and the military strength of the Eastern Han government in Bingzhou ------ the county soldiers (county soldiers). In addition, in addition to various Han forces, the Southern Xiongnu who moved inward were also an extremely important force. These Huns were not directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Later Han government, and they were still organized as tribes, with Shan Yu, Zuo and Right Xian Wang, similar to the attached independent kingdoms, and they were also ready to move at this time.

In short, the current situation in the state is very complicated, but the more complicated the situation has been throughout the ages, the more often you can achieve your own career. If you wait until the results are clear before placing a bet, the outcome that awaits you is often not even able to drink. With this in mind, Zhao Hong decided to lead the team to continue westward.

But then a lot of problems that didn't exist were also exposed.

The first is a management issue. In the past, the number of people in the whole team was small, and Zhao Hong himself controlled it, and almost all of them were under his direct command. Originally, the four elders did not have their own pattern. Although Wang Ming and Li Yong were originally the captains of the Baoji Village, since the new refugees in the team joined on the way back from servitude, Zhao Hong revoked the original two military establishments, and he scattered the strong people who originally belonged to the Baoji Village to the new homeless people, so as to better digest these homeless people. Therefore, although the four elders had a high status in this relocated team, they commanded others mainly by relying on the prestige given by Zhao Hong, and did not have fixed subordinates.

However, it is obviously a very difficult thing to directly command after doubling the number of people, and it is no longer as convenient to pass orders as before, and it is okay for Zhao Hong to use words in the past, so the smart and wise Zhao Hong decided to fix the division of labor in the team and set up a new one. Needless to say, the four elders naturally rose in status with the addition of new blood.

Dong Zheng, who had just defected, also got a chief, although Dong Zheng was suspected of commanding a robbery attempt, but Zhao Hong, who had the world in mind, decided to pretend to be confused about this matter, and it was sometimes very important to be confused, in Zhao Hong's previous life, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei was not guilty of those generals who fornicated with Yuan Shao after the battle of Guandu, and Zhao Hong felt that although his strength was still very weak, he could not do much worse than Emperor Wei Wu.

Although the overall performance of the four elders is still relatively satisfactory to Zhao Hong now, there are many shortcomings recently, especially the behavior of unifying the speculation and leadership, in case the four elders form a united front, it is not good, it is really too lacking in competition. Therefore, Zhao Hong decided to support Dong Zheng as an equal position with the four elders, so that the four elders could enjoy the catfish effect of Zhao Hong's management in his previous life.

It is said that fishermen are afraid that countless fish will suffocate in the crowded cabins, so they always put a few active and aggressive catfish in them. As for Zhao Hong, the newcomer Dong Zheng naturally wanted to act as this catfish to stir up the inherent sphere of influence of the four elders, which also brought them some pressure.

The staffing of these five newly compiled Shi naturally had to be broken up and reorganized, and a small number of Baoji Zhai were mixed in them, and the rest of the homeless people who were taken in along the way back to the village and the homeless people brought by Dong Zheng accounted for half each. In addition to the four elders, almost all of the remaining elites brought by Zhao Hong to Baoji Village are Wu Chiefs, and the older homeless people are also divided into the remaining Wu Chiefs, and the newly joined homeless people are almost no Wu Chiefs.

This is also normal, there are so many positions for the captain, there is always a first-come, first-served order, and it is also a very normal way to distribute the cake by seniority.

In Zhao Hong's previous life, the Yuan Dynasty, established by the Mongols, also divided the country into four classes, similar to the caste system in India. The first-class Mongols, the second-class Semu people, the third-class Han people, and the fourth-class southerners. This is mainly according to the order of conquest of the Temujin Son, the steppe of the Kerebuzha and the Ta Lang were the first to be conquered, and the Khorezm, Kipchak, and Turkic people in Central Asia were conquered in the western expedition of Mongolia, second only to the Mongols, and the Han people of the Jin Dynasty who resisted stubbornly were conquered by the Mongols after the Semu people, so they ranked third. The Southern Song Dynasty was finally conquered by the Mongols, and the status of the Southern Song people was naturally the worst.

That's the way it is......

The second problem is that after the recent recruitment of displaced people, the team's stalls are a little too large. With so many mouths to eat, food consumption is more than doubled. The food carried with the car was quickly depleted. Although there are still some copper coins, but at present, the war is in chaos, the price of grain is soaring, and it is estimated that it will be spent in a few days. As the leader, Zhao Hong was also very worried for a while, if there was no food, his team would naturally not be able to maintain. In this era, there are no bank loans for small and micro enterprises, and Zhao Hong, who feels that his capital chain is about to break, has no one to borrow even if he wants to find a local loan.

Under such circumstances, at noon dinner that day, Zhao Hong gathered the four elders under his command and Dong Zheng together, and the six of them gathered in a circle to discuss solutions to the problem while eating. Zhao Hong naturally occupies the position of sitting north and facing south, and from left to right are Wang Ming, Cao Peng, Liu Song, Li Yong and Dong Zheng.

Zhao Hong, who was sitting on the ground, took a bite of the Hu cake in his left hand, raised his head and drank a sip of millet soup from later generations, and began to make a leadership speech, and the important meeting related to the future of the Baoji Zhai Tribal Alliance was launched in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.

First of all, of course, the leader speaks.

"Lately, food has been running out a bit fast, so there's not much stock left on the ox cart. What can you do? Zhao Hong, who had eaten and drunk, glanced around from right to left, setting a friendly tone for the theme of the meeting. As a subordinate, he naturally did not dare to eat and drink in front of the leader. Seeing that Zhao Hong had already begun to eat and drink, the four elders and Dong Zhengcai, who were already hungry, began to swallow the millet soup in small sips.

Dong Zheng, one of the culprits, first attracted Zhao Hong's attention, Zhao Hong focused his attention on Dong Zheng, and Dong Zheng, who was drinking soup, hurriedly lowered his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Hong looked at Li Yong again, Li Yong had a very honest expression, he didn't care about continuing to eat the food in his hand, seeing that the leader was looking at him, Li Yong just smiled at Zhao Hong.

Before Zhao Hong could shift his gaze to Liu Song, he heard that Liu Song's voice had already come from his ears, "I think I can borrow it, borrow food from those who have food to get through the difficulties." Zhao Hong, who was thinking, turned his head and included Liu Song's bag in his field of vision, only to see Liu Song's eyes dripping around, Zhao Hong felt that this carpenter seemed to say his plan on the surface, but there was something in the words.

"Borrowing food, the current war is in chaos. Food is a life-threatening substance. We are in this place where we are not familiar with life, who will lend it to us. Cao Peng, who was relatively straight-eyed, didn't hear Liu Song's voice at all, only to see his blank expression, and his eyes looked very confused, so he only refuted Liu Song's thoughts from superficial words.

"Brother Cao's judgment is still very reasonable." Another person's voice came from his left ear again, this time Zhao Hong didn't even bother to look away, and when he heard the voice, it was Wang Ming. Wang Ming affirmed Cao Peng's judgment, Wang Ming would not and did not hear what Liu Song meant, Zhao Hong muttered to himself in his heart. Just when Zhao Hong thought that Wang Ming was following in Cao Peng's footsteps, Wang Ming's explanation voice came again, "It's okay to borrow grain, but there don't seem to be enough villages around here, and the village borrows grain." ”

It seems that the younger brother still has a lot of potential to shape, and Zhao Hong changed the illusion he had just caused in his heart. Wang Ming's meaning is obvious, this well road is lined with towering mountains, there is almost no arable field, even if there are a small number of villages, they must be built in dangerous places, even if there is nowhere to borrow grain.

"In that case, I don't have much to do." Liu Song, who was pouting his mouth, spread his hands to the left and right, his tone carried a taste of helplessness, and Liu Song's expression seemed to say that he was powerless.

"Otherwise, we'll dismiss part of the team." Li Yong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and sure enough, if he didn't make a sound, he was already a blockbuster. I saw him cautiously say what he thought, and then he looked left and right to see the reactions of the others.

Li Yong's simple suggestion was naturally thought of by everyone, but no one dared to say it, because this simple suggestion contradicted the tone of the meeting set by the leaders of this tribal alliance.

Zhao Hong, who was admiring Wang Ming as a malleable talent, suddenly flashed a trace of green energy, Li Yong's suggestion was simply to discredit Leader Zhao, if it weren't for the good leader with a benevolent heart to engage in charity and shelter so many displaced people, the team would not have fallen into a food crisis. This is simply a direct question of the principles and policies of the great leader, can a wise and martial leader make a mistake?

Looks like I'm going to have to give this guy a little shoe next time I get a chance. Zhao Hong, who was wiped by his subordinates, had already begun to secretly write down this stroke in his heart, and he made up his mind to find an opportunity to give Li Yong, a stunned leader who questioned the leader, a look.
