Xuanwu County, Taishou Mansion, the coffee table is bright, and there is haode fragrant tea floating on it, Gongsun Wang or leisurely tasting fragrant tea, one hand knocking on the sandalwood table, and his face is groaning.

"I heard that Liu Cheng ordered Xu Wu to collect grain and grass? Where is Zu Zhao's birthplace! King Gongsun asked, beside him was a strategist, holding a white feather fan in his hand, pretending to fan it in a dashing manner.

When the strategist heard the words of King Gongsun He, a faint sarcasm appeared on his face: "This Liu Cheng is estimated to be a chicken killer and egg picker, whether it is to defend or attack, it is difficult to achieve great things, this incident should have rewards and punishments, and the reward should be this Xu Wu, and it is said that this Zuzhao young hero, with the four hundred clan boys and Na Wen Chou won a big victory, which is why Liu Cheng is on top, but this Liu Cheng is stubborn and self-serving, and sooner or later he will set himself on fire!" ”

This strategist has analyzed every word very thoroughly.

King Gongsun may have heard it and nodded his head.

"According to Mr., now that my grandson's family is marrying this ancestor Zhao, what are the pros and cons?" King Gongsun banged on the table, now the Gongsun family has a big business, and every move is like a game of chess, which needs to be carefully considered.

Hearing King Gongsun's inquiry, the strategist fanned the white feather fan, carefully calculated, and said slowly: "This ancestor Zhao young hero, the most important thing is to do things in a clear manner, it seems to be a teenager, but if you think about it carefully, the things he has done are old and serious, everything seems to have been expected, such as this rebellion of the Taiping remnants, if it weren't for this young man's main battle, preparing for the war, and making preparations in advance, the ancestral family may not be able to escape the scourge of the Taiping remnants!" If there is no young man, the ancestral family is probably still a local tyrant family, but with this young man, the rise of the ancestral family is probably inevitable! The old man thinks that this young man has an old strategy, and he can kill the enemy when he goes into battle, and he can understand Wen Taowu strategy when he gets off the horse, this is already a very rare and rare talent, and he will definitely be mixed in this troubled world! ”

Listening to the words of this strategist, King Gongsun couldn't help frowning, he had never heard too high an evaluation of others from this strategist, but he spared no effort to praise Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao is naturally very familiar, but in his heart he is just a young heroic, good at fighting a young man, originally he is also a general, but he knows that the general will die immediately will inevitably have an ending, Zu Zhao is actually a brave and enthusiastic young man in his heart.

The last time Zu Zhao was convicted, the Gongsun family immediately repaired a letter and made a matter of repentance, among which the Gongsun King or the way of nature, but it was not stopped, because in the heart of Gongsun Wang Or, this Zu Zhao should be an abandoned son.

But listening to the words of the strategist, King Gongsun couldn't help but begin to weigh the weight of his ancestors.

has the courage and courage to go on the horse to kill the enemy, and he is just a young talent.

But with martial arts and knowing strategy, among them is the qualification of a family hero, and King Gongsun takes a fancy to Zu Zhao's long-term vision. It seems that everything can't escape his expectations, and everything is under control.

"This troubled era is really a good season for the rise of the hero, I don't know how outstanding this teenager will be!" King Gongsun may have laughed, but he asked him to repair a book and send it to Zu Zhao alone. It means that the marriage contract between the sister and Zu Zhao continues, please don't take Zu Zhao to heart.

In his heart, Zu Zhao, a young hero, may not take political marriage very seriously, and the Gongsun family did not do it very properly when it came to regretting the marriage.

But he didn't say that the strategists don't have to meddle in everything, that would be annoying.

He only stayed in Gongsun's house for a short time, and he also had a relationship, and when the favor had passed, he naturally went to live in seclusion in the river, at ease, and the current chaos was divided, but he saw it very clearly in his heart.

Gongsun's family repented of marriage before, and then wrote a letter to save the love, but in fact, in essence, there is a suspicion of grass on the wall, and such a family marriage, it is estimated that Zu Zhao will inevitably have unhappiness in his heart, and besides, that young man has a long-term vision, how can he put his heart on the love of his children?

……

And in Xu Wu, Zu Zhao sat firmly in the ancestral house, and the matter of grain and grass in the prefecture and county seemed to him to be a little too much.

This time, they were able to join forces to suppress the remnants of the Taiping, relying on the support of the local wealthy clans, and the prefecture and county had the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army's rebel party.

It is true that he has love with Liu Cheng, but grain and grass are the back road of a family in this troubled world, how can he cut off his back road because of friendship?

"Since this means, you can do it as you please, now that the ancestral family is in your hands, I am also very relieved!" Zu Ju smiled and spoke, now Zu Zhao has reached the realm of deep understanding of strategy and human affairs, and Zu Ju no longer regards Zu Zhao as a young disciple many times.

Zu Zhao nodded, but it was a letter of repair sent to Liu Cheng, on the one hand, he talked in detail about the difficulties of his family, and paid a great price for the last time he supported the ancestral family of the prefecture, among which the disciples suffered casualties and there were great losses in grain and grass, and now that the war has subsided, the ancestral family has no margin, please Liu Cheng forgive a period of time, on the other hand, it is a big friendship, thank Liu Cheng for his affection for the ancestral family and so on.

He wrote a thousand words and folded a thick letter, a thousand words in this era is not a small length, after all, a pair of brush words are very large, and a letter was taught to the disciples of the clan and asked him to give it to Liu Cheng.

"My ancestor Zhao is not a wine bag and rice bag, nor is he a master who is easy to fool!"

Zu Zhao chuckled slightly, and then walked out of the courtyard.

The production of plate armor is still very slow, this time Zu Zhao led the young people in the clan to fight, the dark arrows of the Yellow Turban Army are still very terrifying, through the leather armor directly to the soldier's body, if everyone has plate armor to protect themselves, there will be a certain advantage on the battlefield in the future.

In this era, it relies on cold weapons to fight, to put it bluntly, it is to rely on the speed of the war horse to charge, and the other point is to rely on the soldiers' sworn to fight to the death. To survive is to be a winner.

However, the plate armor is the existence that reduces the mortality rate of soldiers, and it is also the existence that increases the combat power of the generals.

The ancestral family has no movement on the matter of collecting grain and grass, and Xu Wu's other families have not moved, and at this moment, the ancestral family has truly become the existence of the head horse in nothingness.

Chen County has gone to his ancestral house five or six times, and each time he is tighter than the other.

The meaning of the prefecture and county is very obvious, Xu Wu can discharge manpower here, naturally there is enough grain and grass, how can he not pay grain and grass?

It takes a month to collect all the grain and grass.

And now half a month has passed.

Chen County's eyes were already red when he came to Zu's house, Zu Zhao just pulled him to drink tea, and didn't say a word about the grain and grass. Zu Ju is even more directly missing.

"How's this good? Seeing that the deadline has arrived, Zu Zhao, you have to give me a way! ”

Zu Zhao smiled silently: "It's not that we send grain and grass to the prefecture and county, but that the prefecture and county should send us grain and grass to Xu Wu, you wait, the combat power of the prefecture and county is worrying, a lot of things can happen in a month, what we have to do now is to let our volunteers recuperate, and once the war starts, we will continue to fight!" ”

"Still going to war?" Chen County was a little disapproving.

Zu Zhao knocked on the table and said lightly: "Yes, the remnants of the Taiping Party are just lurking, just like an undercurrent hidden deep at the bottom of the river that seems to be calm, but in fact there are turbulent waves brewing, and places like Fujun will inevitably suffer the greatest impact!" On the contrary, we Xu Wu received the least impact! ”

Zu Zhao naturally understood in his heart that the Yellow Turban Army was the existence that made the prefecture fearful.

Now in order to protect themselves, the prefecture and county collect grain and grass from wealthy places in order to expand the army, once the army is expanded, then they are afraid that these volunteers will be shelved, and they will even be asked for an inch.

And now what Zu Zhao can do is to have food in his hands and not panic, and if he has food and grass, he can maintain the operation of his army, and he can make the displaced people his own team.

Instead of making a stepping stone for Liu Cheng of the prefecture.

"Chen Xianjun, you have to pay attention to this matter, it is true that you are an official of the imperial court, but you are also a local official in Xu Wu, and Xu Wuke is a glorious existence, and the new arrival of the county may not have a clever means, once they stumble, sooner or later they have to ask for your head, so the county lord does not need to worry, sit high on the fishing platform and wait for the fish to bite!"

Zu Zhao gave the county jun such a seat, whether he can comprehend it depends on Chen Xianjun's understanding, I believe that he is an old oilman in the officialdom naturally understands. He, the county king, has been tightly tied to the interests of the local wealthy family, rather than becoming a grasshopper in the same line as the newcomer Liu Cheng.

At this time, it is necessary to stand in line, the waist pole is not stiff and can't stand up the handle, who will follow you?

Chen Xianjun sat on the chair and bowed his head and was silent, Zu Zhao's words were a kind of rebellious words, but he understood that if there is chaos today, the people's hearts are fluctuating, and the so-called imperial court has already been powerless, that is, why hasn't this prefecture and county become a trend for the princes to become bigger?

Nowadays, there are food and soldiers, and the right and left sources are the way to survive.

Instead of handing over your fate to others, that is the real way to die.

Thinking clearly in his heart, Chen Xiancheng drank the tea in one gulp, arched his hand towards Zu Zhao, and strode out of Zu's house.

took a deep breath, paid attention in his heart, and headed towards Xu Wuxian County.
