The man in charge of domesticating the pigeon catches the pigeon and takes the letter from the pigeon.

The carrier pigeons naturally do not know how to automatically find the way to the barracks here, these carrier pigeons are set up here after the camp, and then fly back, it is estimated that the carrier pigeons are flying back from the direction of Bohai or Nanpi.

The New Han Army is now slowly accustomed to using flying pigeons to transmit some military information that is not very important, or some urgent military information, which is transmitted by carrier pigeons, which is indeed much faster than using fast horses to transmit.

However, the flying pigeon delivery was delivered so quickly, which also made Tai Shici and the other generals feel a little surprised, what kind of emergency military information will be sent at this time?

After reading the letter, the generals were almost a little surprised, but they didn't expect it to be the letter sent by their lord Liu Yi. The letter turned out to be a plea for Yuan Shang, asking them to let Yuan Shang go and not execute him.

To be honest, none of the generals of the New Han Army such as Tai Shici and Gongsun Du would have a good impression of the people of the Yuan family, especially a deep-rooted family like the Yuan family. In their hearts, they all have an idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, if one of their descendants is kept, lest the spring breeze blow and rebirth in the future, sooner or later it will become the scourge of the New Han Dynasty, so they caught Yuan Shang, and they really didn't think about letting him go in their hearts.

However, now that Liu Yi personally sent a letter, let them spare Yuan Shang's life?

"The lord is really magnanimous, and he can still spare Yuan Shang? This, you still have to kill, right? Gongsun Du admired Liu Yi's letter to spare Yuan Shang, and he asked himself. If it was him, he caught the people of the forces that were hostile to him. That's absolutely inevitable.

Of course, Gongsun Du obviously misunderstood Liu Yi. Liu Yi doesn't have a big belly, and he can't resist the women around him.

For this, Tai Shici is also a little knowledgeable, because he knows the relationship between Liu Yi and Mrs. Zhang, and at the same time, he also knows that Yuan Xi's mother should also be by Liu Yi's side at this moment. However, in this regard, Tai Shici is not easy to say anything.

Tai Shi Ci shook his head noncommittally. He said with a somewhat strange expression: "Well, then take Yuan Shang into custody first, and send it to Luoyang in the future for the lord to dispose of." The lord's letter is also right, the Yuan family, the fourth and third princes, although we are not quite on the right path with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc., but they are indeed meritorious ministers of the Han Dynasty, and we are not good to kill the Yuan family. This one. That is, the difference between our lord and Dong Zhuo's traitor, we have to spare people and spare people. ”

"Well, are you really going to let him go?" Gongsun Kang held Yuan Shang, who was soft, and looked at Yuan Shangdao with disdain.

"Hmm. The Yuan family seems to have a few relatives left. Keeping Yuan Shang can be regarded as an explanation for our Yuan family. In our Dahan. Even in our court of the New Han Dynasty, there were many former protégés of the Yuan family. Keep Yuan Shang, and let them see it. Our lord can be said to have done his best to the Yuan family. In this way, it can be regarded as spurring those people to serve our court more diligently in the future. Tai Shi Ci found an excuse to spare Yuan Shang's grandiose and said.

"Hmph, that's your fate!" Gongsun Kang threw Yuan Shang to the ground without giving up.

"Yuan Shang, you should have heard it too. It's my father-in-law, Taifu Liu Yi personally wrote to spare your life, if you still have a conscience, and a little grateful conscience, then do you know what to do in the future? Always remember the kindness of our lord, and be a good man in the future, and don't do anything detrimental to the New Han Dynasty, otherwise, I will never spare you! ”

Tai Shi Ci turned over the warning to Yuan Shang, until Yuan Shang was amnesty, and he prostrated to the ground again and again in a panic, thanking him for sparing his life, and Tai Shi Ci ordered Yuan Shang to be taken into custody and sent to Luoyang on a certain day.

Beihai City was captured, then it was equivalent to the entire Qingzhou falling under the control of the New Han Army. Of course, we have to solve the problem of the Taishan thieves in the thousands of miles of Taishan Mountain Range.

Then, how to incorporate Yuan Shang's military horses and how to govern the people in Qingzhou, Tai Shici handed it over to Gongsun Du to do. In addition, in addition to governing Qingzhou, Gongsun Du also had to gather troops and horses and drive to the border with Xuzhou, firstly, to guard against Cao's army from the direction of Xuzhou, but also to prepare for an attack on Xuzhou in the near future.

Naturally, now, with Gongsun Du's current military horses, it is impossible to enter Xuzhou, after all, the number of troops is not enough. Everything depends on whether Gan Ning invades Xuzhou by sea, and whether he solves the matter of Taishan Zangba, so that the entire Qingzhou can truly become the territory of the New Han Dynasty. In this way, the military horses of Gongsun Zhan's department and the military horses of Tai Shici can attack in the direction of Jinan at the same time, and after capturing Jinan, they can divide their troops into multiple routes and go straight to Xuzhou.

Therefore, now Gongsun Du's task is to guard against Cao Jun's attack and govern Qingzhou. But before the buttocks were hot, they were taken away by Cao Cao's military horses.

The military horses in Tai Shici's hands are actually quite sufficient, mainly because the army has not yet crossed the river. Therefore, Tai Shici thought about it and decided to leave the 100,000 military horses he led in Qingzhou and hand them over to Gongsun Du to command. It's just that Gongsun Du is not rash enough to enter Xuzhou, after all, there are many generals under Cao Cao's account, and Tai Shici is a little worried that Gongsun Du is not the enemy of Cao Cao's generals.

And Tai Shici himself went directly to Mount Tai and prepared to go to see Zang Ba, and it seemed that it was time to solve Zang Ba's problem.

In Mount Tai, there are also Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao who are managing the cottage of the Yellow Turban thieves. Well, it should be the Yellow Turban cottage and the centaurs left by Guan Hai.

Tai Shi Ci only brought about 300 personal soldiers, and directly entered the mountain from the north of Mount Tai, and under the guidance of a thief soldier, he went directly to the cottage governed by Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao.

In the eyes of people in the outside world, Taishan mountain thieves are rampant, as long as they are in the mountains, when they go outside, they will be regarded as thieves. This, who called the thief of Tarzan the thief is too famous, and his reputation has been spread for too long?

In the past, there have always been thieves who occupy the mountain as the king, even when it is peaceful and prosperous, in Mount Tai. There have always been thieves. Most of those who committed crimes fled into the mountains to hide. Or just fall into the grass for cowardice. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Mount Tai became a paradise for thieves. Bandit style is popular. It is more prosperous than the yellow turban thieves in Montenegro at the beginning.

Most of the people who live in Mount Tai are people during the day, and they are thieves at night.

Of course, in that year, Zhang Ning, the holy woman of Taiping Dao, came to Mount Tai in person, and recovered most of the Yellow Turban thieves who wandered into Mount Tai and occupied the mountain as the king everywhere, the appearance of Mount Tai was completely new.

But. Why do people from the outside world still regard Tarzan's people as thieves? This also has something to do with Cao Cao. Because Cao Cao's father was killed by the thieves of Mount Tai, and because of the relationship with Zang Ba, Cao Cao was unable to really send troops to clear the thieves of Mount Tai, so Cao Cao's official government, especially in Xuzhou, was always intentional. deliberately preach the bad things of the Tarzan thief. Let the word of mouth spread that in Xuzhou, it has also been done at all, but anyone who sees Mount Tai coming out will be like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouted and fought. Cao Cao is like this, but also to guard against and limit Zang Ba, who verbally submits to himself but is not really under his own rule. So that Zang Ba can only move around Mount Tai, and it is always difficult to leave Mount Tai. In this way, there will be no threat to the safety of Xuzhou.

Right now. Tai Shi Ci and a group of personal soldiers entered the mountain, but found the current Mount Tai. It really has a sense of paradise.

Well, Tai Shici also entered Mount Tai back then, and he also knew that there was chaos in Mount Tai, and almost every dangerous mountain peak and mountain range was full of thieves. They set boundaries for the land, and the mountains for kings. Not to mention that the caravans passing through Mount Tai will be robbed and harassed by the bandits, it is the bandits themselves who attack each other endlessly in order to compete for territory.

Anyway, if you used to walk in Mount Tai, if you didn't encounter someone fighting, it would be a really strange thing.

But now, Tai Shi Ci found Mount Tai, presenting a thriving scene.

Now, it's almost spring ploughing time.

Tai Shici found that many places in the mountains have been developed into terraced fields, and as long as the places are slightly level, they have been turned into fields where crops can be grown. Occasionally, I saw some people from the mountains turning over the soil in those fields.

The people in the mountains, when they saw Tai Shici and his party, were not as they used to be, they fled quickly as soon as they saw the living, and then gathered people and horses to come and plunder. Now they are quietly busy with their own affairs, if they really can't avoid it, they will not panic when they meet, and they will take the initiative to greet Tai Shi Ci and ask who Tai Shi Ci is and what he is doing in Mount Tai.

Or knowing that it was General Tai Shici, the general of the New Han Army, those mountain people did not panic, but enthusiastically talked with Tai Shici, took out their food, and wanted to share it with Tai Shici.

Faced with such a situation, Tai Shici's heart was full of surprise, because Taishan seemed to have completely changed from before.

Of course, there are also people who quickly go to the main village of Mount Tai, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao report to their main village.

More than a day after entering the mountain, Tai Shi Ci rushed to the cottage of Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao under the guidance of Taishan's thieves. The two of them naturally went down the mountain to welcome Tai Shici up the mountain.

In the cottage Juyi Hall, Tai Shici has a little appreciation for Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao.

"Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, it's really beyond my expectations, I didn't expect the two generals to be able to turn Mount Tai into a paradise. When you see the lord in the future, Taishi will definitely ask for credit for you. What do you mean by that...... Well, the two of you are tantamount to benefiting the people. Thousands of miles of mountainous areas in Mount Tai must have a population of more than one million, right? I walked in the mountains for more than a day before I came here, but I didn't see any of the bandits fighting each other in the mountains. All of this is due to the merit of the two rulers. Haha, if Cao Cao knew that our New Han Dynasty only sent the two of you here, we could unknowingly transform the bandits of Mount Tai into ordinary self-reliant people. I don't know how difficult Cao Cao's face will be? ”

At this time, Tai Shici thought that outside Mount Tai, the south and west were Cao Cao's forces, and Cao Cao didn't know that his New Han Dynasty could actually see the seams and be able to govern Mount Tai neatly and orderly under Cao Cao's nose. Thinking about it, Tai Shici felt that there was something interesting in this.

"General Taishi praised it falsely." Liao Hua was a little wooden, as if he couldn't stand Tai Shici's praise and blushed a little, but his face was a little dark, even if he was blushing, it was not conspicuous.

"Yes, General Taishi, in fact, Taishan can be peaceful, not the work of the two of us, just the two of us, there is not so much ability to make the bandits in the entire Taishan area can be obedient, can make them put down the murder weapon, willing to work hard in the mountains, for a bite to eat, all day long. Really, I don't have that much skill. Pei Yuanshao is a little cunning, but he doesn't dare to take credit at this moment.

"Oh? Our lord may know more about your affairs in Taishan, but I really don't know that much. Why don't you tell me what happened to Tarzan? Tai Shici asked curiously, Zang Ba's name flashed in his mind, and he felt that this might have a lot to do with Zang Ba.

"Okay, since General Taishi has come to our Mount Tai, as landlords, we naturally have to say hello, come, General Taishi, I will let people make some things that are only available in the mountains to give the general wine, as it is for the general to catch the wind and wash the dust, we will talk while eating." At this time, Pei Yuanshao ordered someone to send some food to the Juyi Hall.

Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao had to press Tai Shici on the king's chair on the main seat, and then the two generals sat down on the left and right.

Liao Hua is not very good at speaking, so he asked Pei Yuanshao to speak.

After a toast to each other, Pei Yuanshao said: "General Taishi, don't hide it from the general, back then, there were countless bandits in Mount Tai, and among them, there were also factions that did not belong to each other. Part of it is the bandit who has always been in the mountains, and part of it is the Yellow Turban Army who entered Mount Tai later to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers. In addition, some officers and soldiers later ran into the mountains to fall into the grass. Anyway, there are a lot of thieves in Tarzan, and it is also very chaotic. ”

"I'm surprised, although Tarzan is big, it can't feed so many people, right? Even if you want to loot, I'm afraid there won't be many supplies for so many bandits in Tarzan to loot. "Tai Shi Ci really can't understand this one question. With so many people, how can they survive in the mountains?

"Heh, this general doesn't know, as the so-called snake has a snake road, and rats have a mouse road, and those who can stand in the mountains will naturally have their way to survive. All of these are waiting for us to come with the general one by one. ”

Pei Yuanshao pretended to be a storyteller and said to Tai Shici. (To be continued.) )
