Chapter 158: Swallowing Like a Tiger

In addition to assisting the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Zhao Kong felt that he also needed to take action in person.

Only by letting the coastal counties guard and understand that they are a sharp sword hanging over their heads can these guys who are carried away by interests become a little more sober.

The 30,000 troops who went out to conquer the Japanese kingdom have already returned 20,000, and 10,000 people have been transferred from the 20,000 garrisons on Taiwan Island to make up 30,000 again.

This time, Zhao Kong was ready to personally lead the army and make an example of the chickens and monkeys, not only to scare the county guards, but also to let the greedy Liu Hong understand that he was not a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will.

"Gongda, why do you think the lord attacked Donghai County this time, instead of Donglai County, which can deal with the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, or Wu County, which is closer and more convenient."

Xun Zhan finished processing the official document in his hand, and asked the young man who was sitting on the side drinking tea.

This person doesn't look good-looking, his eyes are calm to the point of even a little wooden, and he sits there looking very low-key.

"What the fourth uncle has already guessed, why bother to come to the school to test me again."

The young man replied expressionlessly, his tone flat, but faintly revealing a trace of imperceptible resentment.

Xun Zhan shook his head with a wry smile, sighed slightly and explained:

"I don't know where the lord heard the name Xun You, but it's really not you that I recommended to the lord, and I don't mean to replace Wen Ruo with you."

Remember http://m for a second

The young man in front of him, who was a little wooden, was praised as the "mastermind" by later generations, and gave advice to Cao Cao twelve times, but never miscalculated once, Xun Gongda!

Xun You's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything, waiting for Xun Zhan to continue explaining.

Xun Zhan actually felt a little guilty about this nephew who was the same age as him.

Although it was not Xun You whom he recommended to Zhao Kong, after Zhao Kong proposed Xun You, Xun Zhan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and did not think much about Xun You at all.

And at this time, Xun Yu was no less loyal to the Han family than Xun Yu in his heart, otherwise he would not have plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo four years later.

Xun You is not Cao Cao, so he doesn't need to use this to invite the world.

And Xun Zhan and Xun You are not only relatives, but also classmates for more than ten years, so they naturally know each other's true thoughts, but for the sake of family interests, they can only sacrifice Xun You's ideals.

Moreover, after being Zhao Kong's secretary for a period of time, Xun Zhan felt more and more that Zhao Kong was extraordinary, his eyes and thinking were very different from ordinary people, and he might not be able to achieve great things in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that Xun Zhan willingly worships Zhao Kong.

"Gongda, you can also see the situation in the world now, instead of clinging to the doomed court, it is better to help the lord grow stronger as soon as possible."

"Wait until the world is in turmoil in the future, and then calm the troubled times as quickly as possible, although it can't save the Han family, but it can save countless Li people in the war!" Xun Zhan said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Xun You also reacted, and asked calmly:

"Are you so sure that Chen Wei will be the one who unifies the world?"

Xun Zhan hesitated for a moment and said: "No one can be absolutely sure of this kind of thing, but relatively speaking, the probability of the lord's success is very high. ”

Xun You glanced at Xun Zhan and said, "With the help of the sea and natural insurance, no one can really do anything to him." ”

"But Taiwan Island is only a county, and it is not suitable for raising horses, in the future Central Plains melee, what will Chen Yu take to participate?"

Xun Zhan also asked Zhao Kong this question, and Zhao Kong gave him an unexpected answer.

Although they are resourceful, they are limited by their knowledge, and they habitually focus on the Central Plains, and if no one reminds them, it is extremely difficult to jump out of the inherent framework.

At the beginning, he also felt that Zhao Kong could only divide one side, and if he didn't have an excellent opportunity, it would be difficult to compete with the future Central Plains heroes.

Now his resourceful eldest nephew had apparently made the same mistake as him.

Xun Zhan smiled slightly, and did not open his mouth to explain, but took out a map of East Asia and spread it out.

I saw his fingers row from Taiwan Island to Ryukyu, then to Kyushu Island in the Wa Kingdom, and then suddenly moved to the land of Sanhan across the sea, and finally to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Although Xun Zhan didn't say a word, Xun You's eyes, which were originally as quiet as a peaceful lake, instantly flashed a essence light.

Zhao Kong controlled the sea power, and as long as there was enough arable land, he could continue to plunder the population from the Central Plains and use it to strengthen his own power.

Liaodong is also one of the most important places to produce horses, and it is separated from Youzhou by the danger of mountains and seas.

Once Zhao Kong uses Sanhan as a springboard to win the relatively isolated four counties of Liaodong, it will instantly become a nightmare for the northern princes.

If others want to attack Zhaokong, they have to take the land route, and the dangerous road between Liaoxi and Liaodong is really not much easier than entering Shu, otherwise the Gongsun clan will not be able to divide it for nearly a hundred years.

And Zhao Kong wants to fight others, but he can do it by sea, and the Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou around the Bohai Sea are all within his attack range!

The situation of the trapped dragon, which was no different from Shudi, was completely revitalized by sea in an instant.

Seeing that Xun You understood Zhao Kong's strategy, Xun Zhan opened his mouth to explain:

"Gongda, you just came to Taiwan, you don't know a lot of things, and some things are too bizarre, even if I tell them one by one, it's hard for you to believe it, or wait for you to understand it yourself, and then decide whether to go out or not."

Now that the curtain of the troubled times has not really opened, Xun You is a military teacher-type talent, Zhao Kong is not in a hurry to force them to come out.

On the contrary, Tian Feng, who had a stubborn temper and had always had a bad face for Zhao Kong, was forcibly taken by him this time and went to Donghai County in Xuzhou with the army.

Although Tian Feng is relatively all-round, his internal affairs ability is obviously stronger than that of military strategy, and he is over forty years old, mature and steady, which is exactly the talent that Zhao Kong needs most at present.

Moreover, although Tian Feng's family has a lot of people, they are all at the bottom of the Haoqiang, and they are far worse from the family.

Coupled with Tian Fengzhong's stubborn character, once he gains his allegiance, he is far more worry-free than the Xun family.

In the darkness of the night, the large fleet has approached the coastline, and although the sand ships are not suitable for entering the deep sea, they are extremely convenient and flexible in the shallow sea area because they are not easy to run aground.

In less than an hour, all 30,000 Yellow Turban troops landed and set foot on the coastline of Qu County, Donghai County.

It's a pity that during this time, because of Liu Hong's holy decree, the coastal county guards all wanted to take the opportunity to jam Zhao Kong, so no matter day or night, there were people patrolling the seaside.

Although the dozens of night patrol county soldiers have long been scared away by the huge fleet, I am afraid that the effect of this night attack will have to be discounted a lot.

However, although Qu County is an upper county with a population of more than 100,000, it can't organize many troops in a hurry.

By the time Zhao Air Soldiers came to the city, the interior of Qu County had not yet been fully mobilized, and there were less than 1,000 county soldiers at the head of the city, and the Yellow Turban Army was attached to the ants in waves.

After opening the east gate of the county seat, Zhao Kong immediately let the Yellow Turban Army take over the other four gates, blocking the entire county seat, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, delaying the news of the attack on Qu County as much as possible.

Because his raid was without warning, the city was taken by the Yellow Turban Army before the Tanma for help was not even sent out in Qu County.

In addition, Qu County is lonely on the seaside, quite far away from other county seats, and there are no three or five days, and other cities in Donghai County can't detect the abnormality here at all.

Originally, they found that the city was captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and the families in the city were still quite panicked, but when they learned that it was the Yellow Turban Chen Defeated Division, they were all relieved in an instant.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and after more than half a year, the transaction between Zhao Kong and Danyang and Yuzhang families has long been spread, making families everywhere not envious.

Although the Han Dynasty experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the people who died were landless and vagranted.

Except for a very small number of careerists and people who have been brainwashed by Taiping Dao, it is difficult for anyone who has a few acres of thin land in his hands to make up his mind to join the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, most of the Central Plains families have not been able to expand how many acres of land in this wave of chaos, and when they saw that the Danyang and Yuzhang families were full of fat, they were naturally envious.

Under normal circumstances, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy acres, which is the lifeblood of the common people, and if it is not for despair, no one will sell their own fields.

And the families from all over the country don't dare to mess too much, otherwise once they provoke a popular uprising, they will be the first to be unlucky.

Even if the turmoil is suppressed afterwards, it will be held accountable by the imperial court, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Chen Wei, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who likes to move people, unknowingly became the object of secret welcome from all families in the world.

Coupled with the news of Dongying Tongshan, Chen Yu is now in the eyes of many families, and he is simply the God of Wealth.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yellow Turbans on Taiwan Island were far away overseas and difficult to contact, I am afraid that someone would have come to them to negotiate cooperation matters long ago.

Therefore, the Qu County family was not surprised, not only did not organize the domestic slaves to resist, but sent the money and grain to the county government as soon as possible, and respectfully asked the Yellow Turban Masters to move the people away as soon as possible.

As for the news to find reinforcements, it was all forgotten.

But this time Zhao Kong's actions are a little different from the past.

Because Qu County is a county, there are eight families in the city, although they are all small and medium-sized families, but there are also some talents in the clan.

Therefore, Zhao Kong returned half of the money and food sent by these families, but asked each family to send ten children with real talents and learning, and then returned to Taiwan Island with the army.

Whoever dares to make up for it will be regarded as an insult to Chen Daqushuai's IQ, and the whole family will be arrested and sent to Dongying to mine to atone for their crimes.

Zhao Kong's request made the Quxian family uncomfortable.

They are not the Yingchuan Xun clan, and there are only so many children in the clan who can be regarded as truly talented and learned, and they are the key to preparing to become officials and officials in the future, so as to seek benefits for the family.

Even if he is just a master or a thief in the county, he can bring a lot of benefits to the family, and now Zhao Kong wants ten of them, which is really uncomfortable than slashing them.

What's more important is that once these children join the Yellow Turban on Taiwan Island, it means that these families are also tied to Zhao Kong's thief ship, and if they are exposed, it will be a catastrophe.

But now the knife hangs overhead, and they can't choose.

It took several generations of accumulation to mix into the family sequence, and no one was willing to abandon this glory and go to the distant island of Taiwan to gamble on the future.

Therefore, these family heads can only persuade the selected clansmen to remove them from the family and send them to Zhao Kong.

There is a small family that has just mixed into the family circle and has not accumulated enough talents in the clan, and even the own son of the head of the family has been sent over, although it is not a son-in-law, but it can be regarded as being forced to the limit.

Zhao Kong is quite happy about this, even now, there is still a lack of grassroots officials on the island.

Get this group of people, at least the population looted from Qu County this time, there are suitable managers.

And although these people were expelled from the family, the relationship between them could not be severed.

In the future, as long as the number of displaced people is not too large, they can be covered up by the help of the Quxian family.

Tian Feng, who was forcibly taken by Zhao Kong, was a little sneering at his actions, and couldn't help but sneer:

"You are still the heir of the Yin and Yang family, and the dynasty has risen and fallen, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army with a shallow foundation."

"If you force them to come out like this, aren't you afraid that when the time of adversity comes, these people will stab you in the back?"

Zhao Kong smiled absently: "Yuan Hao only knows the theory of the Yin and Yang family in the pre-Qin era, but he doesn't know that after hundreds of years of development, we have already embarked on the road of returning all kinds of great power to ourselves. ”

"If you don't join my command, it's fine, once you join my camp, if you want to betray again, it's not a life that can be redeemed!"

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly:

"How powerful Zhang Jiao's demon method was at the beginning, the Yellow Turban Lux could even chase Xiliang Tieqi and slash and kill, but in the end, it was not dead and dead."

Zhao Kong laughed out loud, and only after half a sound did he say with a little disdain:

"That's because General Tiangong is too conceited, if he starts from the corner like me, with the overall strength of Taiping Dao and the strong cultivation of General Tiangong, it is impossible to die in a year."

Speaking of this, Zhao Kong looked directly at Tian Feng and said to him seriously:

"Chen's Taoism is not under the Tiangong General, but he will not be as proud and conceited as him, like Yuan Hao, if he can't be used by me, then he can only be wiped out as soon as possible."

"I know that Yuan Hao is by no means a person who is afraid of death, but you have been studying hard for decades, and your talent is rare in the world, and now you have not been able to leave your name in history, so you will be like grass and trees, silently turning into a bowl of loess."

"Are you really willing?"

Zhao Kong's words made Tian Feng's eyes frown, of course he was unwilling to be buried, but if he wanted him to join the Yellow Turban Army, he really couldn't get through that hurdle in his heart.

Seeing Tian Feng's tangled appearance, Zhao Kong smiled mysteriously, and said in an inexplicable tone:

"There will be some guests coming to Qu County in a few days, and when Yuan Hao meets those people, it's not too late to make a decision."

Tian Feng looked at Zhao Kong with some confusion, but he didn't take his words seriously, this kind of choice is a matter of life, and the persuasion of others has little meaning at all.

In this era, although Qu County belongs to Shang County, there are very few people in this rich coastal county.

After all, it was the three Mi brothers and sisters who later took refuge in Liu Bei, and there were really no particularly outstanding characters in addition.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mi family are still young now, and the eldest Mi Zhu is just over twenty, because his father is still alive and has not gone through all kinds of experience, so he is not useful for the time being.

But since it has fallen into his own hands, there is definitely no reason to let it go.

Originally, the Mi family, which was beyond the scope of Haoqiang, but did not meet the standards of the family, belonged to the category that could be moved or not.

And now that Zhao Kong has discovered this family, he must pack them all up and take them back to cultivate well.

Mi Fang's guy who has more than enough success and more than enough to lose, but Mi Zhu is a rare business talent in this era, once carefully cultivated, the future of the household book will also be settled.

And if Zhao Kong wants to swallow the world, commercial operations are indispensable.

Trade war is not only the patent of modern society, there are also many similar methods in ancient times, and if you use it well, you can surrender without a fight!
