Chapter 228: Youzhou's Response
The news that Wei Tao was going to lead the army to leave soon spread throughout Youzhou.
For Wei Tao's move, except for a very small number of die-hard people who are desperate, almost all of them are desperate to keep it.
Not only out of gratitude, but also because of Wei Tao's previous opinions, for the entire Youzhou, the relationship is too important.
Today's situation can be seen even by reckless men like Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, if they still want to overthrow the Han and compete for the world, then there will be a battle with Wei Tao.
But Wei Tao, who showed such strength in the battle with Wu Huan, would be defeated by them so easily?
Even if you just think about it, you know that it is unlikely.
And compared to the Youzhou army, which can only be trapped in this place, Wei Tao still has a lot of room for expansion, and Youzhou is not enough to fight against it.
In this way, it is better to accept Wei Tao's conditions, although he has lost a little power, but at least he can still ensure the safety of Youzhou, and even if there is another foreign invasion in the future, there are people who can resist it.
In this way, as Xun You expected, the generals of Youzhou naturally tried their best to stay, a small banquet a day, a big banquet in three days, in short, to let Wei Tao not leave so quickly.
And Wei Tao seems to have been stabilized because of this, and he no longer mentioned the matter of leaving for a while, so that the people of Youzhou have more time to discuss this matter.
However, when Wei Tao ordered someone to take back the news that Yuan Shao was going to take back Jizhou, all the people in Youzhou understood that it should be time for a result.
"General Wei has noble ambitions, and he is bent on supporting the Han and protecting the Han people. The little woman was very impressed. But dare to ask. Is it true that General Wei handed over Youzhou to the people of Youzhou to manage before? ”
After finally inviting Wei Tao over, Zhang Ning did not hesitate at all, and said directly to the point.
"If that's the case, I'm Youzhou can put all the generals under the general's command, of course, in the future, Youzhou will also support the soldiers, but this kind of money and food expenditure is limited, I'm afraid it can't be fully supplied, I don't know if the general thinks so?"
Wei Tao's eyes condensed slightly. There was even a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Ning.
Originally, Wei Tao's opinion was only to lead the army and defend against foreign races, although it accounted for a lot of Youzhou's military strength, but Youzhou still retained some of its military strength.
And Wei Tao originally didn't want to include all the generals in Youzhou under his command, as for the money and food supply, according to Wei Tao's idea, Jizhou would supply it.
It can be said that Zhang Ning's proposal is much better than Wei Tao's original request, even if Zhang Ning took the initiative to raise the price, it is more like he wants to take refuge in himself.
"Now that you have accepted and taken refuge, you naturally have to do it thoroughly. But other than that, the general can't interfere more with my Youzhou. And if one day, my Youzhou becomes rich, and I dare to ask the general to hand over the land I command, how about it? ”
Perhaps seeing the surprise in Wei Tao's heart, Zhang Ning said slowly, but in the end, his plan for 'peaceful evolution' was already faintly exposed.
Wei Tao is a human being in two lives, so he can naturally hear it, but Wei Tao just smiled indifferently at this.
"If Youzhou has this ability, then I am naturally happy to see it. Coercion of alien races, in fact, is just to achieve two aspects, one is to suppress, and the other is to improve oneself. ”
Wei Tao really didn't care about this, but felt that this Zhang Ning was extraordinary, even if he was limited to this era, he still did extraordinary things.
"If Miss Zhang can make my Han rich and strong, then I naturally have no reason to follow it, as long as I can ensure the long-term peace and stability of my Han people, I can achieve my wish! If Youzhou is richer than Jizhou, then Jizhou should naturally be governed by Miss, and the same is certainly true of Jizhou. ”
Although Youzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, Jizhou doesn't know how much richer it is than Youzhou, and Wei Tao is also a big problem.
Although Zhang Ning has good wisdom, after all, he is a little too idealistic, and he is convinced of the establishment of a Taiping holy country where everyone is equal, with land and farming, clothing, and food.
Although it cannot be in the name of the Taiping Holy Country, if it is governed in this way, then it will be possible to make Youzhou rich.
Therefore, in Zhang Ning's heart, as long as Wei Tao responds to this matter, then even if he does not have military power in the future, then his ideal can be achieved.
After hearing Wei Tao's promise, Zhang Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But it's a pity that it's not so easy to let Youzhou be included in Wei Tao's control, although Zhang Ning's status is high, his identity is embarrassing, and if he wants to convince the people of Youzhou, it's not a matter of saying a word or two.
So after breathing a sigh of relief, Zhang Ning said slowly.
"General Wei, Gao Yi is known to all in Youzhou, and the general has the kindness to rescue my Youzhou, so this time my Youzhou is willing to be under the command of the general, but the general also knows that this kind of thing is not ordinary, so if the general really wants to include our Youzhou in his control, he still needs to deal with the next thing."
"What?"
Wei Tao also knew that things were not easy, so he didn't mind too much when he heard Zhang Ning say this, but just said slowly.
"As long as it does not violate my personal principles and the righteousness of the common people, I can do it. So what should I do? ”
"Well, it's not that hard. The general is brave, I already know this battle in Youzhou, but I don't know how brave the general is, so I still ask the general to see it? I selected nine generals from Youzhou, if the general can be deserved by one person, then the general's martial bravery can be said to be the best, I am afraid that only then Lu Fengxian can be an enemy, and then he can naturally protect my Youzhou safety, and no one dares to think that the general is not qualified to do so. ”
Zhang Ning's eyes flashed, and then he said slowly.
"These nine people are the most brave nine people in my Youzhou, and there will be no water release during this period, if the general is not careful, he may even be injured because of this, so please think more about it. If the general is unwilling to do this, then my Youzhou is also willing to ally with the general, and in the future, my Youzhou will never lightly violate the territory of Jizhou, and will be willing to be the general's northern barrier. ”
One against nine?
Or the nine people with the highest martial arts in the Youzhou Army?
Even Wei Tao was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that Youzhou would have such a problem, it was all based on strength, and it was impossible to get the slightest trick.
"Okay, since that's the case, let me see how Youzhou Haojie is doing."
But Wei Tao just lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then nodded seriously and accepted the battle.
"That's how you belong!"
