He Kui's small banquet was tasteless.

When He Kui made it clear the powerful relationship behind this, there was no squeak from anyone present.

In the final analysis, no matter how fanciful He Kui is, the risks behind this have not changed. How many people can have such confidence, return to their hometowns to pull out a team, and can repeatedly deal with local forces?

If they had this strength, they would have done it themselves a long time ago, and they would have come to join the Taishan Army?

And a very realistic situation is that those who can have enough social relations and prestige in the local area are often those who are village tycoons, not small households like them.

For example, Guo Tao, a newcomer in the staff team, is like this.

Their family is a homesteader with a little savings, but the whole family only has an extra three or five buckets for Guo Tao to learn some scriptures, how can there be any resources to contact the clansmen.

No matter what the era, well-to-do small families generally live their lives behind closed doors. It's not that I don't want to gather people, but I don't have enough heart and strength.

So what He Kui said, they really don't think it's feasible.

In this way, He Kui could only give up and began to chat about other idle matters, and this party was a meeting.

Unlike He Kui, who was also not far from his mansion, he didn't talk about this topic.

Of course, Du Man knew about this, and even the first person Zhang Chong found to discuss this matter was him.

Du Man listened to Zhang Chong's description of this incident and immediately realized that this was an extraordinary thing. Because he is different from all the previous ways of fighting for the world, it is beyond human intuition.

The earliest competition for the world was central, that is, the Shang Dynasty Xia and the Zhou Dynasty Shang. As long as the other party's capital is broken, the world will be gained. And then there is the kind of King Qin sweeping Liuhe, which is to sweep the world. Gaozu and Guangwu in the back all followed this pattern.

The characteristic of this model is that it first takes root in a certain place, and then beats down a piece of the world like a coloring block. And what did Zhang Chong do?

His plan turned out to be to bloom in Hebei first, then spread seeds in the world, and finally form a huge net, and then firmly hold the world.

What a strategic ingenuity. It can be said that as long as this plan is successful, or as long as it is half successful, the Taishan army will go north and south much more smoothly in the future.

In fact, Du Man also understood why Zhang Chong would come up with such a solution during this time period. The reason for this is the political division between the Taishan Army and the Taiping Dao.

The Taishan army was able to move from a small Mount Tai to Hebei all the way, and in the process it was helped by many Taiping Taoists. Whenever the Taishan army arrived, there were local Taiping Taoists to serve as guides and tell the local people.

This information is very important for the military, the powerful and powerful, or the follow-up stationing and even governance.

Otherwise, how would the unfamiliar Taishan army work?

But now that the honeymoon period between Taishan Army and Taiping Dao is over, these networks all over the Central Plains are naturally useless, so Zhang Chong thought of this method to build his own network.

It's just that Du Man feels that there are a few considerations in this matter, and he has done some work.

He told the truth that there are few people who can pull out a team, and they are facing that kind of environment where the enemy is strong and I am weak. Those who have this ability and mind can only find them in the huge Taishan army.

But which of these people is not the main commander of the front, and these people can't be sent away, right?

There is another point, Du Man also directly told Zhang Chong, that is, how to face the situation that the tail is too big or even uncontrollable.

Because loyalty is too fragile, those who can trust it a little bit are some of their own people. This is also why during the Cao Wei period, important military power was in the hands of the generals of the clan Yuancong, and the five good generals like Xu Huang were the lives of the deputy generals.

So Du Man asked Zhang Chong how to ensure loyalty behind this.

But Du Man didn't expect Zhang Chong to ask rhetorically:

"Why pledge loyalty? If Zhang Chong has occupied such a big advantage, and he can't make all the heroes return to their hearts, then how can I fail?"

Du Man felt the arrogance and the big picture in these words, he believed that Zhang Chong thought so, this was Ah Chong in his eyes.

Indeed, Zhang Chong never thought that the seeds that were scattered would eventually become a stumbling block to his career. Because, no matter what they do, they are not as strong as him.

Zhang Chong's current style is like a platform, constantly allowing people in the system to expand from place to place. In fact, the Han family did this before, and it allowed Yuzhou officials to return to their hometowns to quell the rebellion. This model is very similar to Zhang Chong's current model.

But Zhang Chong doesn't need to go back to his hometown to pull out as many people as he wants, in his plan, a township can pull ten people, usually lurking, publicizing the Taishan Army policy, and then occasionally robbing the rich to help the poor, and gaining the support of the local poor.

Later, Zhang Chong discussed these things in detail with Du Man, and until before this banquet, Du Man also looked at Zhang Chong on the list of some people who returned to their hometowns.

Why didn't Duman talk about it in his own small team?

Without him, it's just for secrecy. He looked at colleagues like Cai Yong, Zhuge Jue, and Xun You, who had strong backgrounds in the Han family, and knew that it was best not to talk about the lurking back of these homecoming teams. It's not that these people are suspicious, but that's what it's all about.

In this way, after talking to everyone about the previous spring ploughing work and water conservancy excavation, Du Man left Zhuge Jue alone, and he wanted to discuss the water conservancy construction work near Handan with him.

It seems that the days of digging can't stop.

Zhang Chong woke up the next day.

Last night, after the scribes all withdrew, Ding Sheng's gang came to Zhang Chong with wine and meat, and even Guan Yu, who was not smiling, also came with a red face, obviously everyone had not drunk yet.

Zhang Chong doesn't like to drink.

Whether in his past life or now, he has maintained moderation with alcohol. However, once three or five confidants and friends are together, this wine is the best thing to cheer up, and it is a good dream to go down with a glass or two, and fall asleep in a drowsy state.

But he also knows that wine is the easiest thing to make mistakes, and how many heroes and heroes have died in this cup.

Only this time, let's have a good time with the brothers.

The celebration wine after this great victory is always so mellow.

After everyone got drunk and rested, Zhang Chong got up refreshed the next day.

He recalled the events of last night, and was a little embarrassed for a while, he even asked Old Man Cai directly if he had a daughter in front of everyone.

Lao Cai Tou admitted it in the laughter of everyone, but what happened later, Zhang Chong forgot. I just remember that the laughter of the crowd was getting louder and louder.

Yesterday was really a bit ridiculous, Rao is a bit of a profligate system with Zhang Chong's inhuman system, let alone others.

However, this sleep was comfortable.

There are some things that others don't know at all except those around them, and their cupola general hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Every time Zhang Chong closed his eyes, his brain spun rapidly, and all kinds of things came complicated. At this time, he was particularly envious of Zhao E on the side, who could always fall asleep at the fastest time, as if nothing could bother her.

Insomnia has become Zhang Chong's hidden worry, that is, his inhuman physique is there, so he seems to be fine.

So this time he was drunk, and after Zhang Chong woke up, he was refreshed, and the pressure that had been pressing on him was completely removed.

It was also in this joy that he saw Guo Zu pacing back and forth outside the door, which made him upset.

Zhang Chong scolded:

"Azu, come in and say whatever you want, don't act like a thief."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhang Chong obviously felt that when Guo Zu heard this sentence, especially the two words of being a thief, the whole person was weird, as if it was himself who was a thief, not him Guo Zu.

Guo Zu looked weird, carefully saw that there was no one else in the house, and then walked inside and whispered in Zhang Chong's ear:

"Qu Shuai, Lao Cai Tou really sent his daughter to the military mansion."

Hearing this, Zhang Chong's jaw closed in shock, and only then did he remember that the old Cai was happy last night

said let his daughter meet him.

This, this, Zhang Chong was speechless.

However, Zhang Chong is not a junior brother in the end, he glanced at Guo Zu, who was a thief, and said:

"You invite Miss Cai to the side compartment first, and I still have to deal with official business here, and I'll talk about this later."

Guo Zu nodded in understanding, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Chong.

I heard Zhang Chong add another sentence:

"You go and bring Zhao E a little breakfast, saying that I won't accompany her when I'm busy with official business."

Guo Zu understood, and then walked along the edge of the door in a doggy manner.

Later, Zhang Chong began the daily morning meeting.

The heads of various ministries reported to Zhang Chong one by one with all aspects of affairs.

Zhang Chong pretended to listen carefully, but it wasn't until Meng Fu began to speak that he was really listening.

I only heard Meng Fu summarize the recent external military situation to Zhang Chong:

"Recently, according to the intelligence of the Feijun foreign army, the Han forces in Hebei are accelerating the alliance, and under the assistance of Liu Yu, the minister of Qinghe, Qinghe, Anping, Bohai, Hejian, Zhongshan, and Changshan are frequently coming and going. Obviously, there is something big going on, but the intelligence has not been specifically explored yet, so I will focus on this matter."

Meng Fu has been engaged in intelligence under Zhang Chong for a long time, and Zhang Chong still trusts it very much. So let him continue to talk about the back.

After Meng Fu finished talking about the general direction, he began to talk about the situation in Qinghe, the northern part of Julu, Changshan, and Zhongshan. These three places are the focus of the follow-up work of the Taishan Army, so Mengfu is also reporting on these situations.

The first is the dynamics in the northern part of the giant deer.

As Guan Yu's left lieutenant occupied the area south of the mainland, a large number of heroes waded through the continent and fled to the northern area of Julu.

The reason why these heroes were able to escape so smoothly was also related to Zhang Chong's intention to let go. For these unstable elements, fleeing to other areas is good news for the Taishan army.

After these heroes arrived in the northern area of Julu, they soon caused a chain reaction, that is, under the organization of a county official named Li Shao, the southern crown of the county was covered by Shi Miao, Yang Xun, etc., with the fierce power of the Taishan army, on the one hand, the city was self-preservation, and on the other hand, it cost a lot of money to invite Lu Zhi of Youzhou to go south, not only to provide a military supply, but also to be willing to sacrifice land and Cheng.

Obviously, these northern heroes have already regarded the northern part of Julu as their own territory, and they still sacrifice their land to accept sincerity?

However, according to the information obtained by the flying army, Lu Zhi in Youzhou didn't know what he was doing, and he ignored the requests of the northern heroes anyway.

Not to mention the panicked giants in the north of Julu County, Qinghe Country has to pay more attention to Zhang Chong.

On the one hand, Liu Yu of Qinghe State was the initiator of this alliance, and he only said that he learned from Meng Fu's intelligence that he had learned about his literature and martial arts, so he had to make Zhang Chong pay more attention to it.

One of these two is Qinghe Cui Yan, and the other is Wei County.

Cui Yan is naturally the fake King of Wei who stole Cao Cao's limelight. Zhang Chong doesn't know how credible this matter is, but it can be seen that Cui Yan must be a majestic husband.

Moreover, the Qinghe Cui clan is a local noble family, and this Cui Yan has a wide range of contacts. With him assisting Liu Yu, Qinghe will inevitably return to his heart.

And the other trial is not much to say, the bearded man who sacrificed before was defeated at the hands of this person, and he is a talent who uses soldiers.

After learning about Qinghe's information, Meng Fu reported the situation in Changshan and Zhongshan.

There is nothing to say about the situation in Zhongshan, the troops in its territory are empty, and the territory is already in chaos.

What is the number of people who have dozens of soldiers, hundreds of thousands, and those who claim the title of general, are hundreds of thousands. The first, the warrior, the rider, and the apprentice are all kinds of tricks; The first, the warrior, the rider, and the apprentice are hundreds of thousands.

In a word, there were hundreds of large and small forces in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the authority of the Han family was lost.

Before, Chang Shan of the side county wanted to contact Zhongshan to resist together, but when he arrived at the place, he found that he didn't know who to talk to.

Meng Fu was very indifferent when he talked about the situation in Qinghe, Julu, and Zhongshan before, but when he talked about the last Zhongshan, he seemed a lot more dignified.

He sue

Sue Zhang Chong, Changshan's situation is not good, but there is a situation that they seem to be in contact with Taiyuan in Bingzhou. Meng Fu was worried that the forces of Bingzhou would not come out of Jingcheng to the east.

Zhang Chong thought about this possibility, combined with the war report between the two capitals that he mastered, and the possibility of sending troops from Taiyuan was not high, but he had to guard against it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Conflict thought of a solution.

He decided to let Zhao Yun go back to his hometown, and also pulled out a team of people, on the one hand, to check Changshan's intelligence, and on the other hand, to do experiments for the later expansion and training of the returnee team.

But this matter is not in a hurry, he has to talk to Zhao E first. Thinking of this, Zhang Chong was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, looked around, and saw that his subordinates had not noticed his distraction, so he motioned for his subordinates to continue.

And then there are some details of the rewards of the various ministries.

Unlike in the past, when the war was switched to, the rewards for meritorious soldiers now also include land. According to statistics this time, it will be divided into 34,000 acres of cultivated land, and there will also be 3,000 acres of residential land.

This time, Zhang Chong asked the field officials to set aside a special place in the eastern part of Handan, preparing to settle the fields of meritorious soldiers here.

Fortunately, the land of Hebei is flat and wide, and it is absolutely impossible to have this piece of 10,000 acres of land in the Taishan area.

Zhang Chong planned to ask the artisan battalion to send some newly invented agricultural tools to this military field for unified farming. Later, after these military heroes moved their clansmen, they were handed over to them.

Soon, this morning meeting was over. Zhang Chong went directly to Zhao E with brisk steps.
