At night, the crowd outside the south gate gradually dispersed, and torches and braziers began to light on the city walls and outside the city gates.

The night breeze began to cool, and the voices in the wind were mixed but not chaotic, Xun Biao handed a bowl of throat soup to Liu Zheng, looking at those people who were full of energy and strict self-discipline, and their mental outlook was completely different from Fang Cai, and said with a smile: "Zhao Yu will find a few people to take the lead, move them with affection, know them with reason, and then have some benefits." This is really more effective with half the effort. Hehe, you know that. ”

"Where do you know well, you still rely on Zhongxing Jian and Zhang Mancheng to do so."

Liu Zheng took a sip of soup and cleared his throat, his expression was not very happy, and he was a little afraid: "However, I didn't expect to be able to do it to such an extent, just so many people echoed, and I was still a little stunned in my heart." I think at that moment, even if I let them attack Changping, it will be easy to slaughter the city and grab food."

In fact, the time was short, and Zhao Yu, Guan Hai and the others did not gather everyone on the battlefield, or gathered the big and small leaders who could be contacted temporarily.

Liu Zheng originally thought that he was trying to persuade them and then let them convey it to his subordinates, but when the situation gradually developed, he realized that these people didn't have much knowledge, and even if they did, they couldn't be co-opted by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Mancheng in the past, but in fact, because they didn't have any opinions, they were easy to be persuaded. Speaking of a larger scope, today's rulers do not open the wisdom of the people, generally because they feel that this way is easy to control the people, and Liu Zheng also found that it is not so difficult or even unexpectedly simple to persuade these people after really feeling this atmosphere.

After that, he took advantage of the situation to ascend and shouted, and the few people who arranged it called out to the lord, and those people were probably hot in their brains, and they even shouted. What's more, the uninformed people on the side knelt down after seeing those leaders bow down and pay tribute, and the scene was like an emperor and a general.

At that moment, Liu Zheng was naturally also greatly affected by this scene of unity, it was difficult to say the psychology at that time, many thoughts flashed in his mind, and even flashed what Xun Yu said to him in Yiwu Building, thinking that if he could rely on these people to get rid of those shackles and control Youzhou by himself, it was obvious that this idea was a bit unruly, and it made him give up in the end.

"That's right. Therefore, for the sake of the king, there can be a peaceful and prosperous world. Only then can we get a lot of help. Xun Biao patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder and smiled happily, "Power is a good thing, right?" ”

"Not necessarily a good thing. When you think about it, it's too stressful. ”

Liu Zheng had a complicated smile.

Xun Biao looked at the city gate, saw that there was food transported in the city, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Qing lives up to us, we should worry about life and weed." Sanxing Han room, with us all the way, don't worry. ”

Liu Zheng was stunned, seeing that Xun Biao's smile was sincere and pure, he nodded and laughed, Xun Biao turned around, his clothes fluttered, and his side face was warm, "Let's go, let's drink some thin soup." When you come, you stop and go, although you are a step late, but you can be considered to rest, and the next two days are only afraid that there will be no such good things, for my brother to get you some meat to nourish your qi and blood, such as"

"There's meat, there's meat" Someone walked over quickly with a food box in his hand, Liu Zheng was stunned, "Brother Zhongyu, you're not"

"Just now I heard the movement here in the county government, it was really like a spring thunder stinging beast, I thought it was a fight, as soon as Gongda said, I hurried over, in the end I missed it. It's a pity. Xun Yue walked to a long case with the two of them, with a look of regret.

Liu Zhenggang knelt down and sat down, and when Guan Hai was pushed by, he also beckoned Guan Hai to sit down and eat together.

There is wine and meat in the food box, as well as fish and side dishes, and there are several large bowls of rice, which can be called rich, Liu Zheng couldn't help but glance at Xun Yue more, but he didn't say anything, and gave the bowl of rice to Guan Hai, Guan Hai understood the meaning of this meal, and refused a few times, and heard Liu Zheng say, "My family has always been free to eat, don't worry, not so particular", so he also wanted to say and stopped, raised the bowl and chopsticks with a serious face, and ate silently.

"What you said, I heard Gongda say, it is easy to recommend people to the people, and there is disinfection and epidemic prevention, which was in your manual in the past, and I have read it. It's just that"

Xun Yue knelt down and sat down, hesitating for a moment, "What is the reason for following the post house?" Now that Youzhou is in turmoil, not to mention other states, it is not easy for you to get these people to make a living by helping people send and receive letters, escorting goods and people, and by the way, let these people settle down in those places. Halfway robbery, greedy assets, lost letters, there are many problems and the government side, you also know that they will go their own way, and if they want to make them not afraid of the Yellow Turban Army stationed, it is not so easy to solve. Not to mention the possibility of being robbed of business or framed. No, forget it, right? ”

Liu Zheng promised the Yellow Turban Army that he could be arranged in other states, so naturally he was not without ideas.

In this year, there are post houses to help the court and the state and county pass on the news, some personnel changes, court trends and other things, will be arranged by the state and county to settle in the post house in Luoyang to inform the state and county first, sometimes it will also help both sides to buy some sundries, which is the prototype of the express delivery in later generations.

However, the post house is generally an official express delivery, that is, some people can use it, and they have to be people with status, and in the people, they have to go through merchants, or people who specialize in horse-drawn carriage business to help deliver news or transport goods.

In fact, in the past, Liu Zheng didn't think about launching this kind of business, and he also wanted to run a dart game to make a living, but he thought that it was all the days of licking blood from the knife edge, and he could let everyone live a good life through other ways, so there was no need to touch those, so he gave up.

Now I think about it, that is, I want to try it, after all, the Yellow Turban Army has a large number of people and a huge momentum, if it is spread out, it may not be a good way out, of course, the key is that the Yellow Turban Army that has escaped now does not know where it will fall into the grass, and there may be starvation to death or disease, Liu Zheng is also thinking about finding those Yellow Turban Army in this way, so as not to let those people continue to make trouble, or no one to rescue and die on the street.

Liu Zheng said this reason, Xun Yue suddenly realized, and looked envious at Xun Biao, "Why don't I have a sister like Nu Xun?"

"Guan has one. However, the year before last, he married a wealthy businessman and settled down. It's a pity that I knew that I should have let her go to Liu's house as a maid. Guan Hai was remorseful. In the past, he actually relied on Zhang Mancheng and Bu Ji to be convinced of Liu Zheng, so he believed in Liu Zheng, and today he had contact with Liu Zheng, which made him understand why Zhang Mancheng Buji did this, and he also admired Liu Zheng very much, but this meal is becoming more and more difficult to swallow.

"Heh, maid? Guan Qushuai is plotting against him, right? My daughter Xun is not an open-minded person. Xun Biao smiled, and Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Brother Brown is cautious, if this is heard by the female Xun, you can catch fire in the backyard." And my daughter Xun is a first-class strategist, even Gongda is jealous, you slander her reputation so much, be careful that she brings someone to kill her in the future. ”

"Okay, you Liu Deran, the rumor-monger sister is scheming, and she is good at sowing discord, you obviously want to beat me with the hand of the female Xun. Have you been trying to find an excuse to teach me a lesson for a long time? Xun Biao slapped the table and feigned anger, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Soon after, Zhao Yu, Song Xi, Li Yan, and Tong Fei came over, Zhao Yu looked admiring, bent over and hugged his fists and said: "Liu Gongzi, I waited for the reason of the household registration, and then found some people to investigate, except for the one who was caught by Zhao Mou, it has been confirmed that it is indeed a fine work, and two more people have been found out from those troublemakers, one has been recruited, and the people who were arrested by a certain family are all mixed in from Yuyang County, and Wang Songzuo's people, who don't know much, came in to inquire about the situation." The other person came from Jixian County, and the same is true of Cheng Xu's people. These three people took the lead in making trouble this time, but they tried in vain to disturb the hearts of our army. ”

Fang Cai Liu Zheng asked Song Xi to go over, and didn't let him beat anyone, but asked him to check the origin of these people.

No matter how chaotic the Yellow Turban Army is, since there are military positions such as team leaders and army commanders, in fact, personnel and positions are arranged in accordance with the military system, and the history and trends will also be registered, if there is a concealment of the identity and origin, through the accent, habits, and daily words and deeds, as long as you ask someone a little, it is not impossible to ask something, there is no concealment, let people inquire about the person's daily movements, find out a few coercion and temptations that get along with each other, or find an opportunity to scare, it is always possible to find some evidence and let people be exposed.

At this time, knowing that three people had been pulled out from the people who had just made trouble, Liu Zheng nodded, and then seemed to think of something, shouting rice and muttering: "Cheng Xu"

He didn't forget that after the battle of Yiwulou, Cheng Xu was also rescued by Wen Chou, and then he was imprisoned by Liu He.

According to the meaning of Liu He and Xun Yu, this person can't be killed, after all, he is engaged in Youzhou, he is in a high position, and he is also a local celebrity, and he has inextricable relationships in various parts of Youzhou, and there is value worth using.

Since then, Cheng Xu has been strictly guarded, Liu and Xun Yu also sent people to keep talking about items, and even Xun Yu used the tricks of the former Yellow Turban Thief to confess and tell his heart, and I heard that the effect is not bad.

And when Liu Zheng heard this name this time, he suddenly remembered that there seems to be a figure in the army who is in a similar situation to Cheng Xu, and he can still use it in this dispatch

"So many people are inserted? Which side? Yours and mine? Guan Hai saw that Liu Zheng was thoughtful, raised his head and looked concerned, so that the three of them could stay near the city gate, and they could also get food as soon as possible, how could the position be so low, he was also afraid that there would be problems, especially afraid that the three people were his people.

Who knew that it really came true, so I saw Zhao Yu glaring at him, "You still have the face to eat so well?" You know it's all your people. Two teams rate, one tun chief! It's just two tuns, what if these 200 people have problems? ”

Compared with Guan Hai, in fact, Zhao Yu is very meticulous in this regard, just like Zhou Cang and Pei Lian under him, who are just the identity of the team leader.

Zhou Cang and Pei Lian's abilities are not weak, and they brought a hundred people over in the past, according to the Yellow Turban Army's imitation of the military system, the two of them have long been able to serve as Sima or school captain who commands thousands of people, but after they defected to Zhao Yu, the troops were broken up by Zhao Yu instead, leaving only fifty people who matched their team leader's identity. Of course, if Zhou Cang and Pei Lian can agree temporarily, Zhao Yu has also been tempted, otherwise the two of them would not have stayed until now, and they would have helped Zhao Yun and others counterattack to the camp.

Guan Hai's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he naturally couldn't eat this meal, "Liu Gongzi, Guan has no way to discipline him, this is well, I'll finish it first." ”

At the end of the words, Zhao Yu was stunned, and he was a little angry, looking at the food on the case, it seemed that he had thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and at the same time, Tong Fei also pulled him down, and shook his head with a slight expression.

His face darkened, Zhao Yu couldn't help but look over, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and saw Li Yan sighing, weeping and sitting next to Liu Zheng, who was silent and looked in a trance, "Deran, if you don't, Uncle Zhan will go." Uncle and Ah Cheng, plus Zilong Pinghan and many strong men, we will definitely kill Wuhuan to the point of not leaving a piece of armor."

Although I know that some things should be said, I don't say them because I am like-minded and have the same mind, but at this time, seeing Li Yan's tired and haggard expression, and his beard is gray, Xun Yue Xun Biao and others still can't help but have a sour nose.

"Uncle, I don't feel at ease if you go. Brother Li, Zilong, Brother Pinghan, I can take care of it, you can't. Your martial arts are a hundred times inferior to me, so you still stay and take care of my two brothers and Gongda Yuanxiang. It's better to go back and hug Xiaolang and help me stabilize my mother's clumsy Jing them. ”

Liu Zheng pulled the rice, looking arrogant, and then smiled, "Besides, I have to go to this battle." Brother Bo Jue has great ambitions, and this battle will not force him to hurry, if I don't go, he has a gap in his heart, and I will really become enemies with him in the future. If I go, he owes me a life, after this battle, Youzhou should be united, and we can also go south to crusade against Dong Zhuo and support the Han family with peace of mind. ”

"Then there must be a life" Li Yan choked up, but still didn't say anything unlucky, turned his head and said: "Zhongyu, Brown Lang, the old man is stupid, can the two virtuous nephews have a good plan this time?" ”

Xun Biao's breath was stagnant, he knew the art of war, but there were many soldiers and horses in Wuhuan, and he was waiting for work, at this time he was already a little anxious about distracting food and grass, and he really couldn't think of any good way, and he also knew that he could talk about soldiers on paper on weekdays.

Xun Yue is good at studying the way of internal affairs, and he doesn't have much knowledge in the art of war, so he also looked guilty at this time, and he couldn't even say a word.

At this time, Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Good policy is greed"

"My lord! Hurry up, hurry up! Change into this outfit! In a hurried voice, Jian Yong ran over with a short brown wind with a little beard, and shouted excitedly: "Damn, I finally persuaded the greedy king!" ”

Liu Zheng was stunned, and Xun Yue was also puzzled: "Brother Xianhe, aren't you busy in the city to persuade the gentry to open a warehouse and release grain?" How"

"Gongda asked me to raise armaments, and I thought that the lord was going out, so what did I care?! After thinking about it, I didn't feel at ease, so I thought about going to the greedy king to explore the military capital and the situation of frustration. Then I remembered that the lord didn't pretend to be Wuhuan and offer a gun to capture the greedy king, why can't he do it this time? Changping was broken, and the Wuhuan people who escaped would definitely tell Jundu and Juyongguan, but how many people could know whether the greedy king was captured or escaped? It was the news of the capture that got out, and whether the discord plan worked, who knows? As long as I am fast, I will bypass the military capital and rush to Juyong Pass in advance, and then open the way with the greedy king as the inner call, this time to break the enemy and save people! ”

Jian Yong slapped the short brown on the long case, and made a loud sound, probably because he was running too fast in a hurry, and these words were done in one go, he knelt down and took a few breaths, and hurriedly picked up the wine and cow in the food box for a while, and then his face flushed, and his eyes flashed: "Lord!" How is Jane's plan?! ”

Liu Zheng laughed and hugged Jian Yong in his arms, "It's better than thousands of troops!" ”

At the same time, the middle-aged man who was carrying the corpse with the big man named Gao Lan on the side of the road watched this scene, looking at the fire on the edge of the battlefield swimming like a dragon, and a group of cavalry foot soldiers patrolling back and forth, guarding against everyone leaving, looking up to the sky and sighing, "In the wild land of Youzhou, there are outstanding people in all directions, and it is hopeless for us to connect to Hebei."
