The first city in Mobei is called Taiping, located on the west side of the northern foot of Daxianbei Mountain, the city can not be built anywhere, there are many conditions for choosing the city construction site, but the only iron law that cannot be violated is the water source, there is no city where there is no water source!

The place where Taiping City is located has a water source, and the water source that flows west from Da Xianbei Mountain is the river of life in Taiping City, and this nameless river is named Taiping River, and the river flows all the way north, and finally flows into the big lake called Beihai.

Along both sides of the river and extending to the east and west, to the Wulan River in the west and the Longjiang River in the east, the Yellow Turban Army established a total of more than a dozen cities, and based on this, it continued to develop north and west.

The Han nationality is an agricultural nation, as long as there is no war, natural disasters, the ability to reproduce the population is very strong, even in the colder north, can only plant one crop a year, but the industrious Han people through summer planting and winter hunting, plus animal husbandry and fishery, not only can feed themselves to feed their children, but also can reproduce quickly.

After several years of conquest, the Yellow Turban Army has become the most powerful force in the northern steppe, and is constantly encroaching on all Hu tribes, constantly annexing these tribes, and incorporating them into their own rule, and at the same time continuing to expand their territory to the north, intending to occupy the periphery of the Great Lake, with this Great Lake, Huang Wei held the lifeblood of the Northern Hu Tribe.

It's just that nothing will be smooth sailing, the Yellow Turban, which was besieged in the Central Plains and had no place to stand, finally developed smoothly for a few years after arriving in Mobei, and worked hard to straighten out the internal relationship and establish more feasible systems and policies. Who knew that when it was thriving, Zhang Bao came, and everything became weird.

After all, Zhang Bao is Zhang Jiao's own brother, so he can't help but take him in, but in order to prevent the intensification of contradictions. Zhang Jiao arranged Zhang Bao in Wulan City in the west, responsible for the development of the West Road, and there were two cities at the beginning, and later with the development of population and the expansion of territory, it gradually developed to four cities.

In order to facilitate management, Zhang Jiao divided the entire site into three counties, Wulan County, Taiping County and Longjiang County. Zhang Jiao himself controlled the most populous Taiping County, Zhang Bao was in charge of Wulan County in the west, with a population of about one million, and Longjiang County in the east was under Zhang Niujiao's control.

Zhang Jiao left Taiping City and went south, handing over everything in Taiping County to Zhang Yan, including the nominal supreme ruling body of the Yellow Turban Army. There is no problem with Zhang Niujiao's side, Zhang Niujiao himself is not too ambitious, his current interest is to expand to the east and north, and immerse himself in the fun of expanding the territory.

But Zhang Baoke didn't do it, how could the identity of the commander of the Yellow Turban Army and the head of the Taiping Taoist Sect fall on Zhang Yan's head. Zhang Jiao, this is an elbow turned outward! The Zhang family obviously still has blood, why should they hand over the good foundation they have worked so hard to create to outsiders?

As a result, the contradiction intensified!

In Taiping City, the vestibule of the Taoist Palace, which integrates politics and religion, is the administrative department of the government, and Zhang Yanzheng convened a meeting of Zhao Ai'er, Liu Yan, Yu Xuan, Zhou Cang and others to discuss the issue of Wulan County.

Zhao Ai'er first introduced the current situation of Wulan County, as well as the defense situation of Wusu City in the west. Zhang Yan glanced at everyone, sighed and said, "Not long after the master left, Zhang Bao relied on his identity to make trouble. It's a pity that we can't openly turn our faces with Zhang Bao, I think, it's best to be cold for the time being, Zhang Bao is based on his own strength, it is estimated that he will not openly start a war. ”

"What the senior brother said is very true, he probably still focuses on our interior, as long as we don't have chaos internally. It's not a big problem. ”

Zhao Ai'er also nodded in agreement: "It is estimated that the war will not start immediately, but the means other than the war have started now, and there are all kinds of rumors even in Taiping City." Fortunately, there are not many people who believe that the Protestant leader is assassinating the old leader to usurp power, but we must not take it lightly, and this matter must be dealt with.1

"This matter is easy, as long as the warrant left by the old sect leader is made public, you can 1 Yu Yu Shun said.

Liu Yan shook his head: "Not necessarily, they will say that this is a forgery, or forced the old sect leader to write it, in fact, it doesn't matter, as long as we insist on clarifying, the war of words is not over, the key is that the foundation of our rule is not solid, as long as everyone feels that the current situation is acceptable, and even expected to get better and better, then we can rest easy." At the same time, we must also try to tell those who waver that Zhang Bao himself does not have that kind of ability, let alone a clear long-term strategy, and his descendants have no ability to lead them further. All in all, it is to win the hearts of the people with expectations and confidence in the future, as long as the people's hearts are on our side, Zhang Bao will not be able to turn over the tricks. ”

Well said1 Zhang Yan praised without hesitation, with a calm smile on his face, Zhang Yan is now more and more like a leader: "This matter needs more specific measures, and in the short term, it is unlikely that we will do anything to Zhang Bao, but we must be prepared first, especially intelligence work." ”

"I understand, I will strengthen this work1 Zhao Aier said knowingly.

Liu Yan thought for a while and said: "The propaganda of the Inhumans cannot be ignored, and it is also very important to win the support of the Inhumans, and in the future, the factor that determines the victory or defeat is likely to be the support of the Inhumans 1."

Yu Poison pursed his lips, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Yan's statement, in his opinion, Liu Yan said this because of his identity, judging from the proportion of the population of the Yellow Turban, the number of aliens is probably less than forty percent of the total population. In the Central Plains, the total population of the Inhumans has accounted for fifty percent of the total population, and until now, the Inhumans have not received a corresponding political and military status.

The proportion of aliens in the Yellow Turban is low, and this number will be further reduced with the continuous integration of the Hu people, and now it is a bit exaggerated to say that the aliens can determine the future of the Yellow Turban, it is estimated that Liu Yan wants to seek greater benefits!

Zhang Yan glanced at Yu Poison and nodded lightly: "Please ask Senior Sister to pay more attention to the affairs of the Alien, and Senior Sister will be responsible for intelligence infiltration and prevention, if possible, try to dig out the people who spread rumors, and in addition, you will be responsible for the propaganda work Brother Poison." ”

"No1

Hu Ji Inn is a small inn in Taiping City, the owner is surnamed Hu, everyone doesn't remember what his name is, anyway, the neighborhood is called by Lao Hu and Lao Hu. Of course, the inn business is mainly for strangers and merchants, so the people who go in and out of the Hu Ji Inn are also these people, and all kinds of people come and go in and out of the inn every day, no one will pay attention, this convenience is the original intention of the establishment of the Hu Ji Inn.

If Lao Hu tells you that he is not the boss, his boss's surname Shi may understand what is going on.

In the afternoon. The business is relatively light, and there is only a little second person napping on the counter in the door, and Boss Hu has disappeared.

In the secret room in the back hall, Boss Hu was sitting opposite a person who looked like a foot merchant.

"Lao Li, what's the news today?"

"There is no special news, just that a few people from the west have been arrested. The old lady's methods are not bad. ”

"Hehe, then you have to be careful, don't fall into the hands of that old lady one day1

"Cut! I didn't do anything to fall into the trap, who is afraid! However, do you think there is something wrong with this Zhang Bao's head? What's the use of this method, in the final analysis, it's just a matter of strength and who the generals of the Yellow Turban Army support, said Zhengsu. Zhang Yan's status should have been determined a long time ago1

"It's not our business, but I'll tell you a gossip, the world is big, why doesn't Zhang Bao go anywhere else, but come here? Also, why do we work here? This all shows a problem, our father-in-law may not be at ease with Zhang Yan, so he will always keep an eye on him. When necessary, make trouble for him, you can't let the Yellow Turban Army develop so smoothly, a divided Yellow Turban is a good Yellow Turban 1

"Well, I understand when you say this, it's been a long time, it's us who are behind Zhang Bao! Do you want to help Zhang Bao? ”

"I didn't say, but how can you help? Do you want to help him spread rumors? ”

"Nope! I don't do that, it's completely useless. I mean, help him get a discord or something. ”

"Hehe, unless you can separate the white winding of Wusu City? He is Zhang Yan's diehard loyalist1

"I'm just saying, if you want to make them make a fuss, you might as well set them on fire.1

"Come on. Don't worry about it, your task is to pay attention to the movements of the Taiping City Guardian Force, and the rest will be saved, this matter is naturally worrying about someone, besides, now Zhang Bao has not won Zhang Yan's strength at all, in the final analysis, it is still a question of whether he is hard enough or not1

In Wulan City, Zhang Bao looked unhappy, the people he sent to Taiping City caught and ran, judging from the results, there was almost no effect, and the letter to Zhang Niujiao was also returned by Zhang Niujiao intact, it seems that Zhang Niujiao followed Zhang Yan with an iron heart.

Originally, I thought that as soon as the eldest brother left, he would be able to directly ascend to the position with his old qualifications and special identity, but he didn't expect that it was already a change of time, and the so-called people's hearts are not ancient probably this means! What made him even more incomprehensible was why the eldest brother didn't pass on the throne to him? Brother to brother and brother is also very reasonable

Just when Zhang Bao was annoyed, Zhang Bao's new military advisor Dou Jing came, Dou Jing is the descendant of the general Dou Wu, this branch has always refused to take refuge in the Hu people, but slowly subdued a lot of Hu people into their own line, and after Zhang Bao entered Ulan, Dou felt that he had a chance, so he took the initiative to take refuge in Zhang Bao, one of the best is the young Dou Jing, the top of the sixth order.

"But the lord is worried about things in the east?"

"Yes! The so-called human heart is not ancient, it is true! Now this Taiping Dao is no longer surnamed Zhang, and will be surnamed Chu in a blink of an eye1

"Hehe, lord, if people's hearts are like this, what can the husband say! This kind of thing has been written in the clan motto by my Dou family with the lesson of blood, but the lord does not need to worry, people's hearts are like water, and they will naturally flow to the lower places, as long as the lord is strong, these people will naturally know how to choose. ”

"I'm worried that he Zhang Yan will bite back1

"He didn't dare! And the timing is not good, and instead of worrying about this, the lord should think more about how to get the believers to come back here.1

Zhang Bao's eyes lit up: "Ziheng has a way?" ”

Dou Jing smiled to herself: "My subordinates do have a corner of the view 1 to be continued...
