Chapter 193: Guan Hai, Please Surrender
Since Zuo Ci got Yuan Shao's body to the hidden capital, the next day, I sent someone to spread the news of Yuan Shao's death, and also arranged for someone to transport Yuan Shao's body to Yuan Shao's subordinates, maybe the road was delayed for a long time, and when it arrived in Jizhou, Yuan Jun had returned to Qingzhou, it is now winter, and the corpse will not rot in this cold weather in the north, and then the corpse transport team in order to send Yuan Shao back to Yuan Jun and complete the lord's purpose of fighting and disintegrating Yuan Jun, a group of people still crossed the Yellow River with the corpse, and they were determined to die in this past, after all, in ancient times, everyone likes to report good news and not loss, not to mention that they deliberately brought the corpse to humiliate Yuan Jun, you said that Yuan Shao has been dead for so long, and he didn't see them find it, but was sent back by the enemy side, which is not good for protecting the lord, and the charge of incompetence is implemented. But they still have to send the corpse, because this is the order of the lord Chu Xiong himself, and for the lord of the lord's order, even if they let them pay for their lives, it is nothing.
When they transported the body to Qingzhou City, the trial and others saw it, and they were sad one by one, they thought that they had not found the body, and they could still have the illusion that Yuan Shao was still alive, but now that Yuan Shao's body was in front of them, what else could they do could only take the whole army to prepare for the burial of Yuan Shao again. Although the judge hated Chu Xiong for deliberately attacking his army, he did not embarrass the people who braved the heavy rain and severe cold to deliver the corpses, and specially invited them to have a meal before going back.
And among the Yuan army, there are some people who did not cry with Yuan Jun, that is, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban led by Guan Hai, Guan Hai was only surrendered halfway, and they only obeyed Yuan Shao's orders, but it was only a few days after eating enough, and the lord who had just worshiped died, and the 100,000 yellow scarves he brought now were only one-tenth of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, although more than 10,000 died in the Zhao Yun battle, but there were still millions of people waiting to eat!
The reason why there are so many yellow turbans in Qingzhou is because Qingzhou has been plagued by famine for many years, and the people have no plan to survive. Therefore, since the revival of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in 188, in just over three years, it has developed to millions of people! Although there are only more than 300,000 young people, such Qingzhou is already a hotbed for the Yellow Turban Army to breed and grow.
Now that Yuan Shao is dead, they are still Yellow Turban thieves, because Yuan Jun was originally called a rebel by the imperial court, a rebellious minister and a thief, and Guan Hai's refuge can only be said to be in the same stream. What's more, Yuan Shao is still dead, and the millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou have no place to live, and now this place is occupied by Yuan Jun, and they are more fierce than their yellow scarves, the people have no to rob, and they also rob their yellow scarf rations, people will resist in order to survive, anyway, they will starve to death if they have nothing to eat, if they resist, grab things back, and have a chance to live, right?
"Wen Tao, you read a lot of books, can you get an idea. Where should we go with these yellow scarves, seeing that everyone is running out of rice to cook, will we still be reduced to the level of eating human flesh back then?" Guan Hai asked Chen Tao, who was his friend and military advisor.
Chen Tao, the word Wentao, twenty-three years old, a native of Hengyang County, Changsha County, Jingzhou, has studied literature and martial arts under Xiangyang Pang Degong since childhood, is familiar with the hundred schools of thought, military books and battle formations, and claims to have the talent to assist the emperor. Originally, if in the peaceful and prosperous times, he should also be a figure who can be compared with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but unfortunately the luck is not good, when he was fourteen years old, his parents actually did the Yellow Turban thief, the court has an order, for the family to be a thief, it is a big crime for the whole family to be beheaded, helpless Chen Tao had to embark on the road of thieves, and then gradually grew up, as the main force of the Yellow Turban was eliminated, his parents also died in the war when he was eighteen years old, for his kind of talent, he naturally saw that the Yellow Turban could not succeed, and he did not plan to assist which Qu Shuai, went against the imperial court, but went with the flow, in order to keep the tens of thousands of yellow scarves that followed him, he could only take refuge in the relatively close Qingzhou Guan Hai, and then he has been helping Guan Hai take care of the million yellow scarves, otherwise you think that Guan Hai, a person who doesn't know a single big character, how to manage these millions of people! From here, you can completely see Chen Tao's administrative methods.
And with the addition of a talent like Chen Tao, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will not only rob the house, under the leadership of Chen Tao, they took Beihai Gaomi and other places, opened up wasteland and farmed, and occasionally went out to rob.
In October last year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban sent troops to loot Mount Tai, Taishan Taishou should be defeated by the Yellow Turban, beheaded thousands of levels before and after, robbed 500,000 taels of baggage, and the Yellow Turban returned triumphantly.
In the same year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans attacked the Bohai Sea, gathered 300,000 people, wanted to rendezvous with Montenegro, robbed the Bohai Sea, and was defeated by Yuan Shao, Chen Tao still used his own wisdom to minimize the loss of the Yellow Turbans, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army crossed the river back to Qingzhou safely.
Chen Tao alone, without a capable general, can still play millions of people, his talent is completely buried, and he has been hiding behind Guan Hai and is not known to the world.
"Dashuai, this year is a big drought and a big flood, no grain harvest is a foregone conclusion, now you came out to rob but was robbed by Yuan Shao, tens of thousands of us may not starve to death, but there are still millions of mouths waiting to eat in Qingzhou, we really can't afford it now." Chen Tao said.
"I know that! I'm just asking you what to do? Guan Hai glanced at Chen Tao and said.
"Uh-huh! In fact, you yourself have already had an idea, and you asked knowingly, now that Yuan Shao is dead, it is inevitable that the birds and beasts will disperse, and we can naturally leave. And now that the world is so big, who else can support these millions of people?" Chen Tao pretended to be unhappy and said.
"Hahaha, I have long known that you scholars have a lot of thieves. I don't just ask you a word and you know what I'm going to say. In fact, I also know that only the great general Chu Xiong who is close to us can raise so much, and he is willing to raise so many people. Guan Hai laughed.
If you want to say Chu Xiong, there is nothing in the world who doesn't know, he was heroic when he killed the Yellow Turban, but he never killed innocents indiscriminately, as long as you are willing to surrender, he will accept it, the soldier who should be a soldier, the farmer who should be farming, although Chu Xiong has a great enmity with the Yellow Turban, but he has the same great grace, not to mention the placement of the Yellow Turban, just say that when he saved Zhang Jiao's body under Dong Zhuo, he has a great kindness to the Yellow Turban and others, just like you treat Zhang Jiao as your father, if your father dies, others will whip the corpse, and you are powerless to save it, and it just so happens that others helped you save it, You must be grateful!
Therefore, when Guan Hai thought of Chu Xiong, he couldn't help but have a trace of yearning in his heart.
Guan Hai scratched his brain and said: "Wen Tao, you see that for the future survival of the Yellow Turban, what do I mean, uh, or hope, I don't care if I say it well, you know what I'm going to say, right?" You won't say yes!"
"Haha, I also said that I have a lot of eyes for reading, look at you, forget it, I still don't have to make an envoy to avoid embarrassment, contact with the officials in Jizhou, and see if Chu Xiong is willing to accept the million Qingzhou yellow turbans." Chen Tao quipped helplessly.
"Hahaha, I know that Wen Tao is a scholar, he knows the righteousness, understands the general situation, and takes the overall situation into account, you must make this matter a success, we surrender unconditionally, as long as we are treated as a civilian." Guan Hai also said happily.
"Don't be too happy, a person like you who is used to being a handsome, after surrendering, people may let you come back to farm the land, or they may give you a bowl of poisonous wine to understand you. How's that, I'm scared. Chen Tao is also telling the truth, there was such a precedent in the past, if you don't consider it now, the brothers will be comfortable at that time, and you will go to Huangquan Road.
Guan Hai's face was solemn, and he pondered carefully for a while before he sighed: "In the year of Jiazi, I responded to the great sage and good teacher to raise troops, and it has been more than eight years now. ”
"At first, I also thought about following the great sage and good teacher to overthrow the Han family and create a great cause together, but I didn't expect that the uprising would suffer a heavy blow in less than half a year.
"At the beginning of the army, the great sage and good teacher raised the army, with the aim of overthrowing the Han family and saving the people of the world, the people of the world looked at the scenery, and between two months, the eight states rose, and hundreds of thousands of young and strong soldiers under his command were all resolute and unyielding hot-blooded men. This kind of momentum is not enough to overthrow the Han family, and now although I have a million yellow turbans, there are also 300,000 people who can fight. After all, it can't be compared to the beginning, after all these years of fighting, the officers and soldiers in various places are much stronger than when the great virtuous and good teacher of Jiazi Nian rose up, and the officials who guarded the towns and places are all capable people."
"What's more, at the beginning of the uprising, we killed the wealthy clans, saved the poor, and the people turned to obedience, why, it was because we were for the people of the world. Only then will the people follow us. However, when we achieved certain results, and there were thousands of foot soldiers under the account, our thinking began to change, and some brothers began to be unenterprising, arrogant and extravagant, and even connived at the soldiers under their command to loot the people's property, so that the people saw us as if they were enemies, either desperately resisted, or forced to coerce the army to have two hearts, like such a scattered army, how could it defeat the officers and soldiers? I also know that it is impossible for us to overthrow the Han court with our rabble. However, all of them are poor people, and they are willing to follow us in order to have a bite to eat, and I only think about what can I do to keep them all alive. If I surrender this time, Chu Xiong asked me to surrender only if I wanted to surrender, and asked Wen Tao to come back and tell me that I would send the head. Guan Hai said impassionedly.
"I don't see it, you stupid person, and you are determined to sacrifice yourself for the righteousness, don't worry, I won't let you die. I'm going to go and negotiate with Chuxiong's people. Chen Tao bowed to Guan Hai and turned to leave.
"Wen Tao take care, I'm waiting for your good news." Guan Hai shouted from behind.
