Chapter 451 Yanzhou Thorn History

The matter was agreed, Xu Shu immediately resigned and went to Zhang Luo to make various preparations, but Wang Yu was not idle, and the next thing to see was Xu He.

Compared with Xu Shu's calmness, Xu He behaved a lot more restrained. It's no wonder that since he took refuge in Qingzhou, this is the second time he has met Wang Yu, and compared to when he first entered Qingzhou, Wang Yu won a big victory, and the fierce battles in Hebei are enough to prove his great martial arts, and Xu He's nervousness is inevitable.

"General Xu, this time there are police in Mount Tai, and the generals have contributed many battles, so that they can repel the invading criminals, prevent the hinterland of Qingzhou from being ruined, and will represent millions of soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou, thank the general."

Most of the Yellow Turban generals are from humble backgrounds and have no business name, after having a bit of identity, some people will take one for themselves, and some people will keep it as it is, Xu He belongs to the latter situation.

In fact, most of the words led by the yellow scarf generals are not very reliable, among which Zhang Yan's Feiyan is the most elegant and the most appropriate. Other people's words are called embarrassing, such as another big leader of the Black Mountain Army, his word is called 'White Rabbit', think about it, call a man with five big and three thick, and a bearded face as a white rabbit, what a scene of disobedience will it be?

Without a font size, Wang Yu directly called the other party by military title, of course, this also contained a hint of temptation.

Within Qingzhou, the military and politics are completely separated, as the only general in Qingzhou who is in charge of military and political power at the same time, without the name of separation, and there is the fact of separation, it is not so much that Xu He is a special case, but that Wang Yu did not include him in the Qingzhou system.

Of course, Wang Yu did not have the opportunity to break up Xu He's troops and integrate them into the Qingzhou military system as a whole, but for various considerations, he finally gave up this plan.

At that time, Qingzhou was initially decided, and the first battle of Fenggao was mainly a trick, and after the initial fright. It's hard to make sure that no one is slowly trying to figure out the taste. Rather than letting these disgruntled people hide in the ranks and become a time bomb, it is better to give them a way to vent.

Xu He surrendered most of the people out of helplessness, and there will definitely be no loyalty, but there will be a lot of doubts. In this case, the annexation of his troops may become a hidden danger in the future, so. Wang Yu simply gave a piece of land to Xu He and let him be self-sufficient.

In this way, even if there are still some unstable elements in Qingzhou, because Wang Yu does not prohibit Qingzhou from interacting with Juping. These people can be regarded as having a place to go, and they don't have to risk staying in Qingzhou to wait for the opportunity to make trouble.

It may not be difficult to get rid of these people, but the reaction caused by them cannot be treated with caution, and peace of mind is the most important thing. Wang Yu's improvement of the Taiping Dao, and the fact that Zhang Ning continued to preach, and Xu He, who had seized Juping, were all motivated by this consideration.

Of course. Let Xu He divide Juping does not mean that Wang Yu intends to leave him to fend for himself. Xu He can stay in Ju'an safely, the banner of Qingzhou is very important, if he does not have Wang Yu's support behind him. The attack of the local tyrant alone can make him anxious.

In addition, Xu He is not the kind of person who is particularly ambitious, on the contrary, he is a person who is very content. After he arrived at Juping. They did not expand their armies, nor did they plunder in all directions. Rather, efforts have been made to organize production.

Although he lacked political talents under his command, and the achievements of Tuntian were far from being comparable to those of Qingzhou, the attitude shown from his actions was commendable.

Such a person who is more rational than impulsive, as long as he compares the difference between Qingzhou and Juping, he should know where to go. In the battle of Yuanshan, Xu He's decisive behavior of coming to aid is undoubtedly a clear proof, unconsciously, Xu He has recognized his identity as a member of Qingzhou, and now, it should be time to officially incorporate it into the Qingzhou system.

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Yu was not in a hurry, but continued to test very patiently, fortunately, Xu Heshen was a very cautious person, and he did not take the opportunity to take advantage of it, and even climbed up the pole.

"The Lord is serious." Xu He raised his fist to his eyebrows and bowed deeply to the ground: "The lord enters Qingzhou, which is the blessing of all the people in Qingzhou. At the end of today, it will be known that the lord is open-minded, sincerely dedicated, but the lord has a life, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up! ”

Xu He already understood very clearly that Qingzhou Tuntian, developing new technologies, and opening up new business routes were far beyond his comparison. This year is only one year, and the war in Qingzhou has not stopped, and the effect is not very obvious. But as long as the current situation is maintained, and looking at it in two or three years, Juping will definitely be thrown out of sight.

From following the Zhang Jiao brothers to raise troops, to moving to Qingzhou, and fighting for many years, Xu He has long had a very comprehensive understanding of his ability. However, after seeing Wang Yu's governance, Xu He found that he didn't seem to be very qualified to even divide the party.

Look at today's Qingzhou, it is no longer the barren land where wars broke out, production withered, and the people were poor. The villages rising from the flat ground, the vertical and horizontal ditches in the fields, and the straight and spacious official roads, the endless stream of cars and horses, and the boats shuttling back and forth on the rivers, everything is completely different, as if it has changed the world.

What interests Xu He the most are those waterwheels and windmills. The former is mainly used to carry water from rivers to irrigate dry fields, and it also has a miraculous effect on the saline-alkali land that has been invaded by seawater in various coastal areas. Only by irrigating the land with water trucks without interruption can the land be restored to life as quickly as possible.

The latter has more functions, and can complete a lot of heavy work that requires a lot of labor, such as grinding grain, coarse salt, oil extraction, pressing felt, and even making paper and cutting wood, all of which can be powered by windmills and completed by some very magical machinery.

On that day, Xu He was easily persuaded by Xu Shu's words, and resolutely led the whole army into the battle against the Taishan thieves. Xu Shu's eloquence certainly helped him make up his final mind, but if it weren't for the subtle impact on him from these daily experiences, I am afraid it is still unknown whether he would be so decisive.

Wang Yu bowed slightly, Xu He's attitude, based on his expectations, he looked at Xu He, and said slowly: "Your mind will understand, but the rules of Qingzhou, presumably you are also clear, the military and the government can only choose one, what do you think?" ”

Xu He was also prepared for Wang Yu's question, and he replied without thinking: "The subordinates have ordinary martial arts, charge into battle, and the matter of capturing the flag is far less than that of your colleagues; I still have some confidence in military strategy, but after seeing General Yuanzhi's ability to change, I know that I am still a frog at the bottom of the well after all......"

His words were indeed sincere, Wang Yu fought viciously in Hebei, and won more with less in a row, he didn't see it in person, but he couldn't talk about admiring it much. After all, it was too far away, and Xu He had no idea how capable Yuan Shao was, and the elite troops commanded by Wang Yu were completely impossible for him to build.

But in the Battle of Yuanshan, the troops commanded by Xu Shu were a group of rabble, and although a year passed, the combat effectiveness of these miscellaneous soldiers who were used as cannon fodder in the Yellow Turban Army did not improve much.

But such a group of miscellaneous soldiers, under Xu Shu's hands, burst out with extremely strong combat power, beating the arrogant Taishan thieves to the ground, and almost wiped out the whole army!

How capable the Taishan thief is, Xu He couldn't be clearer, they have dealt with each other a lot over the years.

At the beginning, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans tried to march to the richer Xuzhou, and the obstacle in front of them was the Taishan thieves led by Zang Ba. In the fierce battles of Langya and Donghai, the Yellow Turban powerhouses, including Xu He and Sima Ju, were repeatedly defeated and even defeated by Zang Ba, and finally had to give up their plan to enter Xuzhou.

At that time, Zang Ba's soldiers were not as many as they are now, and the total number of Qingxu and Yellow Turbans was far higher than the militia assembled by Xu Shu. In the same enemy, the gap is obvious.

Therefore, Xu He did not consider the battle of the army at all.

"However, in terms of governance, my subordinates heard that the lord once said: Governing government is the simplest job, as long as you have a conscientious spirit and do things seriously, you can achieve success. The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to give it a try. ”

"In that case, I will grant you what you want." Wang Yu was very satisfied with this self-aware subordinate who also knew how to advance and retreat, nodded and said: "I will show you for the history of Yanzhou, and together with the Destroying Feng Battalion, you will be stationed in Lu County, recruit the people of Jibei, and at the same time shepherd the two counties of Lu and Jibei." ”

“…… The ministers obeyed. Xu He was obviously frightened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

History of Yanzhou Thorn? That's not a petty official, there are only thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and it is an exaggeration to assassinate one state, not to mention Yanzhou! Such an official position, just throwing himself to this general so lightly? It was such a surprise.

After a while, thinking of the current situation in Jibei Kingdom, Xu He somewhat understood Wang Yu's intentions.

The Yellow Turban Army defeated from Qingzhou, many people are entrenched in Jibei, and in the past year, some people have been wiped out by surrounding forces in the process of looting; There are also some people who have been invited by the surrounding forces to take refuge in the past; There are still a lot of people who can only survive with difficulty, although Xu He has no intention of expanding his power, but he will also help his former companions from time to time.

Xu He didn't know if his previous actions had fallen into Wang Yu's eyes, but Qingzhou never interfered. Thinking about it now, Xu He only felt a tremble on his body, if Wang Yu knew it, but never interfered, it was for today...... The depth of the other party's scheming, the long-term and accurate calculation, it is really terrifying!

The next moment, Wang Yu's clear voice came from his ears, and he only heard him say lightly: "The people with the heaviest banditry and the strongest thief should be gone, and the rest of the people, whether they want to continue to eat on the knife, or plan to live honestly, or plan to join the army, but they don't like to be bound by military discipline, they will have a place to go to arrange them, so the Jibei problem should not be difficult to solve." ”

"My subordinates understand." Xu He made up his mind that no matter what method he used, he had to persuade his former companions.

To be free under the nose of a person like the lord, unless there is the acquiescence of the other party, it is unrealistic. Now, the lord has set his sights on Jibei, and the roads in front of everyone are naturally only the ones he said.

Want to derail? That's pretty dangerous!
