Chapter 48: Counting and buying officials, sitting on Qingzhou
Zhuge Jin rushed to Nanyang, Cao Cao and others came out to catch them, and several people greeted each other happily and entered the house and sat down.
"Meng De's battle is too tragic, when I came, all I saw along the way were broken walls, and in this huge Nanyang city, even some people couldn't see it." Zhuge Jin just sat down and said.
Cao Cao listened and replied: "You don't know about this, the people in Nanyang City were basically slaughtered by the Yellow Turbans......
"After I led the troops into the city, I basically couldn't see the Yellow Turban soldiers who had the intention to resist, and they were piled up in a mess among the various clans, and there were no living people except women." Zhu Jun didn't wait for Cao Cao to finish speaking, and then said, his tone was very sad.
"Yes, when I first entered the city, there were still countless cauldrons in the streets, boiling in boiling water...... Boiling......" Sun Jian said, hesitating a few times and not going on.
Qin Jie also sighed and said, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on not allowing them to surrender, things wouldn't have been so out of control......
Zhuge Jin saw that his words caused everyone to complain, and he was also a little speechless, so he had to persuade a few people. Then they discussed the matter of returning to Beijing, and then they went to rest.
Zhuge Jin returned to the residence arranged by Cao Cao and sent someone to call Jia Xu, the two muttered in one place for a long time, and Jia Xu came out with admiration on his face.
In the next few days, the army rested in place, and on this day, finally waited for the will of the imperial court, ordered Qin Jie to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and ordered Cao Cao, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, and Zhuge Jin to enter Beijing to see the driver. The four of them simply cleaned up, Zhuge Jin handed over the 2,000 cavalry sent by Huangfu Song to Zhu Jun, and only brought more than 100 cavalry left by Huang Zhong and Li Dian to accompany him, Zhu Jun ordered the deputy general to lead the army back to Luoyang, and rode alone with Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and Zhuge Jin rode out of Nanyang and went all the way north.
Jia Xu was personally escorted by Zhou Tai and went back to Langya. On the way, thinking about what Zhuge Jin ordered, I couldn't help but be happy. Zhou Tai was a little curious when he saw it: "The military advisor has been happy all the way, I don't know what is going on, and saying it also makes Taile happy." ”
Jia Xu shook his head: "You reckless man, the things ordered by the lord are confidential, let's go quickly, we have to go to several places." ”
After more than a day, the two rushed all the way to Langya, and Jia Xu did not go back to Zhuge Xuan's mansion, but went directly to Tianfeng's mansion. Fu Zhu has not yet started a family at this time, and he has been living in Tianfeng Mansion, but Jia Xu has figured out the habits of the two.
"Yuan Hao, Zezhu, come out to greet me, I'm here with good news." As soon as Jia Xu arrived at the door, he shouted loudly, but he secretly laughed in his heart, obviously waiting to see the jokes of the two. Now that Jia Xu has been following Zhuge Jin for a long time, he is becoming more and more fond of bad tastes in his heart.
"Oh? I don't know what it is that can make Wen He so out of shape, I want to know? He asked with some curiosity.
When it was Tian Feng, he pulled Jia Xu and went straight to the house: "It's rare for Wen He to come, there must be something important, but the lord has instructions?" ”
"So ...... so," Jia Xu whispered a few words in Tian Feng's ear.
"What?" Tian Feng was a little out of shape, and he didn't wake up until he was almost knocked over by the threshold when he entered the door, and smiled bitterly at the somewhat curious frustration: "The lord has promoted us ...... the ranks."
"Since it is a promotion, it should be happy, why is my brother's expression so painful?" Still puzzled, he asked.
Tian Feng sighed and said, "The lord let us go to find the Ten Standing Servants by ourselves...... Buy official ......"
"Uh......" frustrated a little sluggish.
Jia Xu looked at the expressions of the two and smiled thiefly in his heart. It wasn't until he felt that he was almost there, and then he spoke: "During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the county guards of Donglai, Beihai, Chengyang, and Dongguan were all killed, and there are still no county guards to this day. In this way, Qingzhou can be controlled in the hands of Qingzhou unconsciously, and the lord and I have discussed many times, and the result is that the lord is likely to be detained in Luoyang, so he came up with this strategy. ”
Tian Feng and the others were also pensive when they heard this, and they came to their senses after a while, yes, the lord's reputation is not small now, how can the emperor rest assured that he will lead troops outside. After figuring it out, although the two were a little reluctant, they also took it: "In this way, we will send someone to Luoyang for a trip." I just don't know where the lord's arrangement is? ”
"Chengyang, Beihai"
The two saw that the matter had been decided, and there was nothing to choose from, so they responded one after another. Then the few people talked about some things that needed attention, and Jia Xu said that there were other people to meet, so he said goodbye and left.
In the next three days, Jia Xu successively visited Xi Zhong, Zhuge Xuan, Cheng Yu, Zhuge Jue and several other people, explained them one by one, and sent someone to send news to Chen Gong in Donglai.
It turned out that night, the two of them were in Zhuge Jin's house, they were discussing how to take Qingzhou, and finally Zhuge Jin made a conclusion and decided to take Qingzhou Donglai, Chengyang, Beihai, and Jinan.
Tian Feng sent people to buy Chengyang Taishou, Fu Zhi sent people to buy Beihai Taishou, Chen Gong sent people to buy Donglai Taishou, Xizhong sent people to buy Jinan Xiang, Cheng Yu bought Dongguan County Shou, Mi Zhu went to Donghai and bought Donghai Taishou. Coupled with Mount Tai and Langya, Zhuge Jin ate most of Qingzhou and northern Xuzhou at once.
After Jia Xu notified everyone, he staggered forward to Luoyang.
Several people moved quickly, and with the financial resources of the Zhuge family, they soon bought the places they had set one by one, and everyone got together for another day, and then went to various places to take office.
In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guan Yu and several people not only exercised their ability to lead troops, but also obeyed Zhuge Jin's arrangement, and took advantage of the situation to gather nearly 100,000 young and strong, and more than 300,000 old and weak women and children, all of which were hidden in the mountains around Langya.
With the assumption of Tian Feng and others, Guan Yu successively dispersed more than 300,000 people to several places, which not only solved the problem of too many troops in the mountains, but also alleviated the problem of insufficient population in various places. As for the 50,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers led by Guan Hai, they stayed in Langya and were hidden by Zhuge Xuanxue.
The place is occupied, but the reputation of Tian Feng and the others has plummeted, and many people of the scholar clan disdain to be with them. Of course, there are also people with unique visions who begin to pay attention to the practices of several people. It's just that almost no one knows the relationship between a few people, so no one realizes that the Langya Zhuge family is now a behemoth, like a tiger dominating the north, eyeing the tiger.
