Chapter 109 Choose your own path
This is naturally also Zhang Chao's good management and rich financial resources have a great relationship. But it does have to be said that he still cares for the people very much, at least not like some people who are reluctant to spend money when they have money in their hands, but still want to loot the people and be a rich miser.
Suddenly, so many people wanted to follow Zhang Chao to Bingzhou, Lu Su just felt that the workload began to increase, so he went to the second prince's mansion to see Bai Tong and ask for instructions to mobilize more manpower. After all, the original task was to escort 20,000 people, but now that it has reached 80,000 people, the preparations are naturally different.
Bai Tong didn't expect that the people would support the second son so much, and after being happy, he said that he would immediately contact Guo Jia and others, who had already gone to Bingzhou, and asked them to send troops to greet him. After all, with so many people following, order is a very important thing, and if there is not enough military protection to protect it, I am afraid that it will be easy to cause chaos.
Chen Liu was still busy with the relocation, and Zhang Chao led 2,500 cavalry to rush back.
As soon as Zhang Chao arrived home, the first thing he did was to go to the county guard's mansion, he wanted to see his brother, and at the same time explained that he wanted to abandon Chen and go to the state.
During this period of time, Zhang Miao's body seems to be stronger, at least there is no problem walking around the ground, but his spirit is still a little poor, and he has more than enough strength to do something, so Lu Su is temporarily in charge of Chen Liu.
The brother came back, Zhang Miao was drinking tea in the hall, and when he saw his younger brother Zhang Chao, he was excited.
Zhang Chao is also very excited, he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his rise so quickly is completely inseparable from his brother's strong support. Immediately, he entered the house and bowed, "Brother, my brother is back!" ”
"Okay, just come back." Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to help him, or because of too much force, the person coughed several times in a row.
Zhang Chao knew that his brother was not in good health, so he took the initiative to stand up and support Zhang Miao and said, "Brother, sit down first." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, but Zhiyuan, this time the emperor worshiped the general, and was named the state pastor, which is really a face for us. The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and they must be very happy to know about this. ”
"Brother, all of this is due to your teaching, by the way, this time I came to discuss with you the matter of going to the state together." Zhang Chao sat Zhang Miao behind the wooden chair and straightened the purpose of the trip.
"If you go to the state, will I go too?" Zhang Miao asked with obvious surprise.
"Yes. Forgive my brother for being unfilial, I have already resigned from the post of Chen Liutaishou for you in front of Cao Cao. You might as well come with me and recuperate. Zhang Chaocheng said sincerely.
Zhang Chao did tell Cao Cao about this matter, and Cao Apu would disagree with it, which was equivalent to giving Chen Liu to himself.
Hearing that the resignation had happened, Zhang Miao's eyes showed a trace of sadness. But then he cheered up again and said: "Okay, my body is not angry, rather than staying here to worry about Zhiyuan, it is better to follow you and go to the state." It's just that it belongs to the border, and I heard that there are Huns and yellow turbans from time to time, so you can be prepared. ”
"Yes, what my brother said is very true, I will arrange it one by one." Zhang Chao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Miao agreed to go to the state with him. He even had the idea of tying up his eldest brother even if he was tied, and now it seems that Zhang Miao is still an assertive and smart person.
After agreeing with the eldest brother, Zhang Chao left the county guard mansion and returned to the second son's mansion.
At the gate of the mansion, Bai Tong had long been looking forward to it, and when he saw Zhang Chao riding a white horse and wearing a white cloak from afar, he had an urge to rush over. But she knew that there were too many people around her, so she forcibly suppressed it.
Zhang Chao came to the second prince's mansion, turned over and dismounted, and indeed held Bai Tong in his arms, and opened his mouth to say: "I'm worried about you." ”
Just with this sentence, Bai Tong burst into tears, feeling that what he had paid was worth it.
The two hugged for a while, until Bai Tong said with a shy face, "Okay, let's go inside, there are many people watching outside?" ”
Indeed, the two of them were not the only ones in front of the second son at this meeting, on the contrary, it was still very lively. There are those maids in the second prince's mansion, Lu Su and Zhang Rui and others who came to report their work, and Zhao Yun and other generals who have been following Zhang Chao.
"I'm holding my wife, what are you afraid of." Zhang Chao said as a matter of course. Naturally, after all, he still listened to the persuasion and walked into the main hall of the mansion with Bai Tong.
In the main hall, Lu Su, Zhang Rui and others stepped forward to greet him, and at the same time reported the number of people who were going to follow him to Bingzhou this time.
When Zhang Chao heard that the number was enough to be eighty percent of the entire city, he couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "Are there so many people? ”
"Yes, my lord. That's a number I hadn't considered before. Lu Su nodded, looking happy and worried.
"Hehe, this is a good thing, Zijing, what are you worried about?" Noticing the change in Lu Su's face, Zhang Chao asked curiously.
was asked by Zhang Chao, Lu Su did not hide it, and said directly: "Lord, so many people are following, the safety, order, and what do you need to eat along the way?" Where to live, this is all about preparing in advance, which is too much work? ”
Hearing that he was worried about such a thing, Zhang Chao immediately laughed and said, "Zijing, what is there to worry about?" The safety problem is naturally guaranteed by our Zhangjia cavalry. As for what the people eat, it is much simpler and self-sufficient! ”
"Self-sufficient?" Hearing this, Lu Su was stunned, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence too much.
Seeing that Lu Su was a little puzzled, and Bai Tong and the others on the side seemed to be puzzled, Zhang Chao explained: "It's just to bring your own dry food." That is to say, from Chen to the destination, and the food and drink along the way to Taiyuan in Bingzhou must be prepared by yourself. After everything is done, it will be distributed by the government in the unification. ”
Zhang Chao's explanation made Lu Su's face a little ugly after listening to it. "What? What questions does Zijing have? ”
"My lord, if this happens, I'm afraid that many people will not follow." Lu Su expressed the worry in his heart.
If someone doesn't follow them, then they're not sincere. You have to remember that a person's life depends on the mountains and mountains, and he still has to rely on himself more than anything. If you don't pay, you don't want to pay a little bit, do you still point to what wealth they will create for us after they arrive in the state? Okay, that's it, you can make a notice to announce it. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Chao settled this matter.
Zhang Chao is not a savior, it is impossible to arrange everything and let everyone pick up ready-made. If you want to live a better life, you must first pay, you must first learn to choose, learn to choose, as long as you do yourself right, the opportunity will be at your disposal.
Seeing that Zhang Chao had made up his mind, although Lu Su still had doubts, he had to agree.
After Lu Su's report was completed, the next thing was Zhang Rui's report. According to what he said, during this period of time, he has recruited a lot of young people to join the Zhang family army, and now the number of Zhang family troops in the city has reached 1,000 people.
"Very good, Zhang Rui, you have worked hard." Zhang Chao first affirmed Zhang Rui's actions, and then said: "Remember, Zhang Jiajun's selection conditions will change in the future." It is not directly chosen by the people. Zhang's army is the most elite army, with the strongest combat power and the best weapons. Then each of their soldiers should be a warrior of a hundred battles, and in the future, they will choose excellent soldiers from other armies to supplement the Zhang family's army. ”
Regarding the existence of Zhang Jiajun, Zhang Chao has already positioned himself in his heart, that is the strongest existence, and there is no such thing.
That is to say, if the courage is the appearance of Zhang Jiajun, it must be victorious and undefeated, and only by constantly creating such a record can the enemy be frightened, in order to make everyone afraid of Zhang Jiajun, and to better create greater brilliance.
Moreover, as Zhang Chao's reputation continues to expand, there must be more and more people who pay attention to him, and at that time, what kind of meticulous work, what other forces' intelligence personnel will appear one after another, then go through a period of enlistment experience, and then select the best to admit, which is a safer way to ensure that Zhang Jiajun does not have problems.
Zhang Rui has never said anything about Zhang Chao's words. Now after hearing this, he said the same: "No." ”
After the two major events were finished, Zhang Chao raised his eyes and looked at the people in the room: "In order to prevent things from changing, I decided to set off in three days, although the time is tight, but fortunately, this work was done before I left, so I guess I won't be caught off guard." ”
"No problem." Bai Tong is on behalf of everyone to express their attitude first.
In fact, as for the Zhangjia Restaurant and the Zhangjia Weapons Shop, including the poppies planted by Zhang Chao herself, she is ready to set off at any time and pull them out at any time.
"No problem." The second one who agreed was Zhang Rui. Thousands of Zhang Jiajun, according to the requirements of normal Zhang Chao, can be prepared in only half an hour, and three days is too long.
"I don't have any problems here, but I just don't know how many people can go." The last person to speak was Lu Su, he was indeed a little caught off guard by Zhang Chao's self-sufficiency, he really didn't know how many people would be able to agree to follow this decision when it was announced.
"It's okay, the big waves wash the sand, all that is left behind is sand, and what can go with us is gold, there is no pity." Zhang Chao seems to want to open it very much.
Zhang Chaonaturally also hopes that the more people who follow him, the better, but some things are not wishful thinking on his own. In the case, he went to Bingzhou, and what he needed was capable people, people who could create a better life with their own hands, not those who were lazy and only wanted to rely on him.
