Chapter 190: The Man Behind the Scenes
In the inner camp of the Linzi camp, there is a more important place, this area is heavily guarded, far above the Chinese military tent. Except for Zhang Rao himself and his henchmen, no matter what their status, those who dare to approach without permission can only be killed on the spot, without exception.
Although the other leaders were a little dissatisfied with this, they didn't have much objection, because this was the line of the little heavenly master in Qingzhou, and the little heavenly master's cultivation and spell casting were all here, of course, it was not something that anyone could disturb.
After the military meeting, Zhang Rao hurriedly left the Chinese military tent and came here, the Yellow Turban generals were not surprised, Zhang Rao was only the nominal commander, the real leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, in fact, that little heavenly master who had never shown up.
With the results of the military discussion, Zhang Rao of course had to report to Xiao Tianshi as soon as possible and ask for instructions.
The generals didn't feel neglected, but just looked at Zhang Rao's back with envious eyes.
Most people are no strangers to Zhang Rao, he is just a nobody who escaped from Jizhou after the main force of the Yellow Turban collapsed, and he has not shown any skills over the years, until he climbed the big tree of the little heavenly master.
He has grown not only into power, but also in his personal knowledge and skills, Xu He is very prestigious among the Qingzhou people, and has always been known for his ability to speak well and be well-informed.
As a result, at the military discussion just now, Xu He was speechless by Zhang Rao.
Of course, there are factors such as Zhang Rao's greater power and louder voice, but more importantly, his words captured the hearts of the people, which firmly controlled the situation.
Obviously, this is not Zhang Rao's personal ability, but the guidance of the little heavenly master behind him. can make a mediocre person incarnate into a wise man with unparalleled tongues in the way of prior explanation...... The reverence and confidence of the people in the little heavenly master have increased substantially.
With such a leader, it may not be impossible to defeat the legendary champion Hou, I just hope that I can make more contributions, enter the eyes of the little heavenly master as soon as possible, and get the same guidance and trust as Zhang Rao.
It's a pity. No one can follow Zhang Rao in, otherwise, the entourage will definitely be stunned and surprised.
It wasn't because Zhang Rao's face suddenly changed and he showed a very respectful expression;
It's not because the person who came out of the tent was a thin old man with three long wisps of beard;
It's because this old man didn't come out of the Little Heavenly Master at all! Zhang Rao's title. It is also very clear that this person is not a little heavenly master at all.
"See Mr. Ziyuan......" Seeing the old man, Zhang Rao bowed respectfully to the ground.
The old man refused to accept the salute, and said with a smile: "General Zhang does not need to be polite, you and I belong to colleagues, and we are both working for the same lord, and when the future is done, the general's merit is far above, and the lord is a person with clear rewards and punishments, and the general's title and official position will also be above the top." The general is so polite now. Will you not pay it back in the future? β
"If it weren't for Mr. Ziyuan's guidance, how could Zhang Rao be where he is today? The ancients said: Receive the grace of a drop of water. When the spring reciprocates, the kindness of Mr. is like reconstruction, how can Rao be respectful? β
"General Yuan, who is poor in general, has benevolence in his heart, and provides the leaders of Qingzhou with a chance to reform himself, but he can't act according to orders. It's just a little bit of effort, how can General Yu have any personal favors? If the general wants to reciprocate, he must only be loyal to General Yuan. Just do the big thing in front of you. β
After a few more polite words, Xu You smiled and asked, "How is the situation of today's military discussion?" β
"Mr. is clever, Rao according to the book, but easily subdued everyone, that Xu He is still a little unconvinced, but Sima Ju and others have already bowed their heads, he is lonely and difficult to sing, but he can't make any big waves, if he annoys a certain person, hum!" Zhang Rao stretched out his five fingers and clenched them hard, and the green tendons on the back of his palm were rising, as if Xu He was in the palm of his hand.
"Now is not the time for infighting, uniting and attacking Mount Tai is the most important thing, as for Xu and ......" Xu You shook his head, disagreeing with Zhang Rao's idea, he frowned and thought for a moment, pointed to the line not far away and said: "If it really doesn't work, arrange for him to meet that person to calm his heart." β
Zhang Rao's face was embarrassed: "But ......"
Xu You waved his hand and said: "You tell that person in advance, just say that Wang Pengju is Huangfu Song's protΓ©gΓ©, and the practice is the same, Guan Hai and the 50,000 people under his command have been poisoned, and now if they can't unite as one, hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou will die without a place to be buried...... That guy will cooperate. β
Zhang Rao's eyes lit up and he praised: "Mr. is really clever." β
After thinking about it, he hesitated again: "Sir, Gongsun Zhan's side, you really don't need a certain help?" Now that the army is gathered, after breaking through Linzi City, I am afraid that I will not be able to gather 500,000 people, and it is also possible to divide the troops and horses to the north, although it is not Gongsun Zhan's opponent, but it can be somewhat contained, and it is ......"
Xu You interrupted him with a sneer: "And you can send Xu and those who are not convinced by you away, and borrow a knife to kill someone?" β
"The last general is also for General Yuan's plan!"
Zhang Rao defended: "If Gongsun Zhan is allowed to occupy the plain, his troops can be directed at the hinterland of Jizhou, and with the strength of the Youzhou army, wouldn't General Yuan ......"
"The lord's side is like rain, how could he not expect this festival? Although Gongsun Chan is brave, the lord has his own way to contain him, what do you know? A reprimand, Xu You consciously lost his words, and regretted it slightly, the person in front of him was still of great use, and he was far from the time when he crossed the bridge and drew the board.
He coughed lightly and explained with a pleasant face: "Gongsun Zhan is brave and unstrategic, although the soldiers and horses are strong, there is nothing to worry about, Wang Yu is the henchman of the lord!" What is especially worrying is that Wang Yuquan is based in Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zhan is each other's horns, plus Xuzhou in the south, which is connected together...... With this means of strategy, even if the lord is successful...... It's hard to control! β
He sighed and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, as long as you defeat Wang Yu, the lord will play the Son of Heaven, protect you as the assassin of Qingzhou, and reward you with the marquis, when the time comes, you will no longer be a spurned moth thief, but a prince who is important in the dynasty!" Your children and grandchildren will no longer be hungry and poor, with today's achievements, even if they are the fourth generation and the third prince, what is the difficulty? β
Xu You's big pie smashed Zhang Rao dizzy for a while, after being in the Yellow Turban Army for so long, he already knew that the Yellow Turban had no future. There are now Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and now there are Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan, there are too many famous generals in the Han Dynasty, and no matter how many yellow scarves there are, they can't consume them.
The best way is to appease, now it's a yellow scarf, and if it's whitewashed, it's a prince! Xu You's promise may not be credible, but as long as Wang Pengju is defeated, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can occupy the rich Taishan County, and then sweep Yanzhou, and no one can control it!
With such strength, are you still afraid that Yuan Shao will not fulfill his promise? It doesn't matter if you don't honor it, there are so many princes in the world, there are always people who know the goods, how did Wang Pengju's official title come about? It's not typed yet?
Now he has to rely on Xu Yu's intelligence and strategy, as well as all kinds of support, and after defeating Wang Yu, he doesn't care about this.
This is the troubled times, and with strength, everything is possible!
"The last general will listen to you, so I will arrange someone to find Xu He ......"
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp, and immediately, the leaders who had gathered in front of the Chinese army tent and had not left also made a commotion, as if they had found treasure, and rushed to the camp gate.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Rao was a little dazed.
"Let's go check it out." Xu You frowned tightly, he fought against Wang Yu, there were too many unexpected factors, no matter how good the plan was, it must be revised at any time, otherwise he would not have to come to Qingzhou in person. He didn't know what was going on outside, but he had a sense of foreboding.
Zhang Rao replied and left quickly.
I don't know how long it took before he hurried back, his face became very ugly, Xu You's heart immediately sank, and after Zhang Rao spoke, his eyes were even darker.
"Guan Hai was put back, and with him, as well as his henchmen and minions, there were thousands of people......"
After settling down, Xu Yu asked without giving up, "What about the other tribes?" β
Zhang Rao shook his head and said with a dejected face: "Except for those who died on the spot and those who escaped, the rest of the people have been settled...... After the Taishan cavalry rescued Duchang, they swept the four fields, scattered the yellow turbans near Hanting, Xiami, and Pingshou counties, and then placed the prisoners separately. β
"......" Xu You was speechless for a while, but he was scolding in his heart, Wang Yu's hand was too poisonous, which directly weakened the Yellow Turban's heart to fight to the death, and those minions who returned from defeat would also spread panic to other Yellow Turbans.
What is he going to do? Thousands of dollars buy horse bones, are you ready to accept the Qingzhou Yellow Turban? With his 8,000 soldiers and horses, he plans to subdue more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops? The snake swallows the elephant, no, this is an ant swallowing an elephant, is he crazy?
His gaze swept over Zhang Rao's anxious face, Xu You's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered another very fatal question, and he asked urgently: "Have you mentioned my matter to Guan Hai?" What about Linzi's plans? β
Seeing Xu You's solemn expression, Zhang Rao also knew that the situation was grim, so he didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "When I was in the city, in order to win him over, the last general told him that there was a master behind me, but he didn't mention the name of Mr....... Linzi's plan is top secret, I only say that the siege of Linzi is to encourage the Qingzhou heroes and attract them to come to the alliance. β
After speaking, he looked at Xu You anxiously, the other party's gloomy face made him very confused, he had forgotten all about the grand plan of the right talent, and only Xu You was left with this life-saving straw to rely on.
ββ¦β¦ OK. After being silent for a while, Xu You exhaled and said slowly: "Without mentioning my name, no matter how shrewd Wang Pengju is, he will not guess the truth at once, as long as he accelerates the progress of the plan, there will be no problem......
Zhang Rao's heart was full of hope: "Mr. means ......"
"You let Guan Hai and those people leave the camp alone, don't let them disturb the morale of the army, and then start preparing for the rituals, and within three days, the city will be broken in one fell swoop!"
Xu You gritted his teeth, no matter how cunning the enemy is, the balance of strength cannot be changed after all, and his own back move is far from the other party's expectations!
No matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain in the end, hum!
