Chapter 186: Dividing the Territory

After getting the grain and grass, Hao Meng and the others did not say anything to Cao Mengde, and the army was sent off by Cao Mengde's small cavalry, and directly transferred to Pei County in Jiyin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, the army passed through Pengcheng and arrived at Tan County in Donghai County.

Tan County is the station of Xuzhou led by Tao Qian, and the entire Donghai County is also directly under Tao Qian's control.

In fact, when they were in Lanling County, Hao Meng and Liu Bei could part ways with Tao Qian.

Liu Bei could go directly to Xiapi from Peng Chengguo, and he didn't need to come to Tan County. Hao Meng could pass through Donghai County from Lanling County and enter Langya County, which nominally belonged to him.

It's just that Hao Meng and Liu Bei are not those Taishou in Yanzhou after all, and they can't do anything to fight against the history of the assassins in Yizhou.

At least, before Tao Qian, a good old man, operated on them, Hao Meng and Liu Bei were still Tao Qian's subordinates in name.

Therefore, Hao dreams of commanding Langya County, and Liu Bei wants to take Xiapi County, so he has to discuss with Tao Qian to see how many cities Tao Qian will allocate to them.

……

Since he was ordered by the first emperor to take Xuzhou, Tao Qian is the most veritable state pastor in all the history of assassination.

Xuzhou's original officials, gentry and large and small families, did not pull his Tao Qian's hind legs, after so many years of smooth development, the six counties of Xuzhou were run by Tao Thorn Shi like an iron bucket, and other forces could not intervene in the slightest.

However, today, this iron bucket in Xuzhou is about to break, and Liu Bei and Hao Meng are going to grab meat in his Tao Qian bowl!

To divide the territory of the two counties, Tao Qian's heart is quite painful, but no matter how painful Tao Qian is, he has to hand over Xiapi to Liu Bei and Langya County to Hao Meng.

Because, nominally, Tao Qian was the assassin of Xuzhou under the order of the first emperor, and Liu Bei and Hao Meng were also the county guards of the imperial court.

As long as Tao Qian still wants to pull the tiger skin of the imperial court as a banner, and the territory allocated by the imperial court to Liu Bei and Hao Meng, Tao Qian has to hand it over to them no matter how unwilling he is.

It's just that how much city territory should be handed over to Liu Bei and Hao Meng, the painful Tao Thorn Shi quickly made a decision.

……

Tan County, Xuzhou Thorn History Fuzhong.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of meat, and a temporary break in singing and dancing, Tao Qian raised his glass to Liu Bei and said: "Uncle Liuhuang, please drink this bottle full, and wish Liu Junshou to go to Xiapi tomorrow." ”

"I also hope that after Uncle Liu Huang arrives in Xiapi, he will continue to be diligent in government and love the people, and extend my Xuzhou for three years to have a peaceful atmosphere of wind and rain, and not to hear the voice of soldiers."

Xiapi, located in the hinterland of Xuzhou, has no foreign enemies, the land is fertile, and the water network is also very good, which is the most suitable county for recuperation.

Although Tao Qian gave Xiapi to Liu Bei according to the meaning of the imperial court, the meaning of Tao Qian's words was: You Liu Bei is still safe and stable when your Xiapi is too guarded, don't make trouble for the old man to recruit troops and buy horses!

Xiapi is located in the belly of Xuzhou, and there is no threat from foreign enemies, if this situation still has to recruit troops and horses, then what are you Liu Bei's idea?

It is true that Tao Qian is a good man, but he will not let Liu Bei threaten his status in Tao Thorn History!

Besides, the map of Xiapi that Tao Qian had just handed over to Liu Bei only marked six counties: Xiapi, Liangcheng, Xiaxiang, Siwu, Tuxuan, and Guguo.

With the taxes of six counties, Liu Bei may not even be able to support the 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he wants to recruit troops and buy horses, Liu Bei has to find a channel to buy grain and grass.

As for how many counties are in Xiapi, will Liu Bei know now?

"Liu Bei, thank you Tao Envoy Jun Dundun for his teachings."

"Please also rest assured that you will definitely live up to the court's favor and the king's kindness, and live up to the expectations of the people.

Liu Bei replied happily.

There are six counties in one county, which is enough for Liu Bei.

In the past, when Uncle Liu Huang followed his old classmate Gongsun Zhan, he could only master one plain county.

In that plain county, Gongsun Zhan temporarily lent him Liu Bei to settle down in the face of his old classmates.

Regardless of how many counties there were in Xiapi, there are now six counties that are really under the control of his Uncle Liu Huang, which has already made Liu Bei feel a little overjoyed.

Thinking of him Uncle Liu Huang, who started from the eradication of the Yellow Turban, he has been running for so many years, and only today can he be regarded as having a piece of land, how can Liu Bei be unhappy in his heart?

As for whether the taxes of the six counties can supply him Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers and horses, and whether he can make his army grow stronger, thinking about the more than 20 million money in his hand, Liu Bei is still full of expectations.

Isn't it just food and grass?

When he Liu Bei opened the price of one gold, he didn't believe that he couldn't buy grain and grass.

Moreover, the 5,000 stone grain and grass "gifted" by Cao Mengde a few days ago are almost enough for Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers and horses to chew for a year!

……

Hearing that Tao Qian had "arranged" six counties for Xiapi, Hao Meng knew that Liu Bei had been pitted by Tao Qian.

Although Hao Meng is not a map cannon, because he has learned about Han Xin's experience, Hao Meng also knows that there is also a Huaiyin County, which should belong to Xiapi County!

Since Tao Qian can ignore the next Huaiyin County, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not ignore more county towns and not allocate them to Liu Bei.

Hao Meng also knew that even if Liu Bei knew the truth in the end, would he still dare to ask Tao Qian for an explanation?

Of course, since Tao Qian was able to take down the city that originally belonged to Liu Bei, his Hao Meng's Langya County would have to be slashed by Tao Qian.

Don't think that Tao Qian looks harmless to humans and animals, he is really a good person!

If Tao Qian is really a good man, will he still snatch Peiguo from Yuzhou?

If Tao Qian is really harmless to humans and animals, will he participate in the Princes' Alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo?

Sure enough, after Tao Qian cut Liu Bei's territory with a big knife, he also slashed at Hao Meng's territory.

"After Hao Junshou arrives in Langya County, it is best to restore the defense of Yangdu as soon as possible. The remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou are growing stronger and stronger, and this yang can be the throat point that curbs Qingzhou to my Xuzhou. ”

After Tao Qian and Liu Bei settled, he told Hao Mengqian again.

It is really the geographical location of Langya County is too special, it is the barrier of Xuzhou blocking the direction of Qingzhou, even the Taishan thief wants to come to Xuzhou to play, but also have to pass through Langya County.

The primary defense of Langya County should belong to Yangdu County.

The remnants of Mengshan, Jushan and Wulian Mountain all converge in Yangdu County, and there is Yishui flowing through Yangdu, so Yangdu County has always been the throat of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and it is also a fortress like a tiger prison!

In the past, the ups and downs of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Tao Qian just guarded the Yangdu, and even a large area north of Yangdu County was left to the thieves to cause trouble.

Anyway, after the tide of thieves in Qingzhou is low, Tao Qian will send people to subdue those lost lands.

In this way, it is also possible to train and train soldiers.

Otherwise, how did he train the Danyang elite in the hands of Xuzhou Thorn History?

……

"Tao envoy Jun rest assured, after returning to Langya County, Hao will definitely concentrate most of the soldiers and horses in Yangdu Pass." Hao replied.

The map of Langya County that Tao Qian gave him, Hao Meng could see, and it was obvious that he had been slashed on it.

Kaiyang County, the capital of Langya County, actually leans on the border line of Donghai County, who believes this?

Fortunately, the terrain of Kaiyang is also very dangerous, and if Yangdu Pass is over, this Langya County can be regarded as more than enough to advance and retreat.

However, compared to Liu Bei, Hao Meng's nominal territory has ten counties, and Tao Qian is not too ruthless in wielding a knife.

In other words, Tao Qian may also want to swing the knife fiercely, but the problem is the territory of Langya County, and he has no way to start even if he wants to cut the history of Xuzhou.

In fact, there are probably three counties that Hao Meng can successfully control: Kaiyang County, the capital, Yangduguan, the throat of Yangduguan, and Linyi County, which borders Taishan County.

In addition to these three counties, the other territories are north of Yangduguan, and at this time they are still raging in Qingzhou Yellow Turbans from time to time!

However, it doesn't matter to Hao Meng, he Hao Meng wants an elite army, and the territory north of Yangduguan is just used for military training, and by the way, he will take over his own territory by force.

"There is another matter, Hao Mou also has to make it clear to the envoy in advance."

"After Hao Meng returns to Langya County, he will definitely recruit troops and horses. However, Tao Yuanjun doesn't have to worry, Hao's soldiers and horses will be concentrated near Yangdu Pass, which is also used to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. ”

"As for Kaiyang County, in order to prevent accidents from Taishan County, Hao will only station 5,000 soldiers and horses in the capital of Langya County at most."

Taking advantage of the hot wine, Hao Meng also informed Tao Qian in advance about his recruitment.

In fact, Hao Meng recruited troops on his own territory, so he didn't need to say hello to Tao Qian.

Even if Tao Qian is Hao Meng's nominal boss, he can't say that he Hao Meng's is not.

After all, he Tao Qian is just a little higher than Hao Meng in terms of official position. In fact, Hao Meng is also a prince with territory, and he Tao Qian is also a prince with territory, so everyone is only half a catty and eight taels.

The reason why Hao Meng wanted to inform Tao Qian in advance was to eliminate the vigilance of this good old man, and the other was to buy grain and grass supplies from Tao Qian.

……

"Well, if Hao Junshou can one day enter Qingzhou, the history of this thorn can provide 100,000 stones in terms of grain and grass!"

Tao Qian was only a little surprised by Hao Meng's recruitment, but he quickly didn't pay attention to it.

If Liu Bei recruited troops, it was a bad intention.

After all, if he Liu Bei recruits troops, isn't it just for expansion?

And the whole of Xiapi County is in the hinterland of Xuzhou, no matter which direction Liu Bei expands, the city he captures must be his Tao Qian's territory.

Hao Meng is different.

No matter how much Hao Meng's army expands, if it is concentrated in Yangduguan, no matter how stupid Tao Qian is, he can see that the direction of Hao Meng's expansion is in Qingzhou.

Of course, this does not mean that Hao Meng has no possibility of attacking him Tao Qian.

However, as long as he Tao Qian keeps an eye on the garrison in Kaiyang County, he can know whether Hao Meng has the intention of going south.

After all, even if Kaiyang County had a garrison of 5,000 troops, it was impossible to threaten Donghai County, which was the capital of Xuzhou!

Besides, didn't Tao Qian also offer the temptation of 100,000 stones of grain and grass to lure Hao Meng and them into Qingzhou?

Therefore, for the current Xuzhou Thorn History, the main target that he Tao Qian wants to guard against is Liu Bei, who has no way out, not Hao Meng, who has an obvious way out! (To be continued.) )
