After determining Chen Zhi and Zhou Cang's willingness to submit, Yang Zhao asked them to take them down and familiarize themselves with the situation in the army first.

"I want to ask my lord a question." Jia Xu said at this time.

Yang Zhao was in a good mood and nodded: "Wen He has any doubts, just raise them." ”

Jia Xu asked, "If they are not willing to submit, will the lord really let them go?" ”

Yang Zhao laughed: "Evil came and Zhongkang, brought fifty people to wait outside the gate." ”

Let them go, that's impossible.

Even if he knew that the Yellow Turban soldier was Chen Dao, he would not let them go, since he couldn't use it for himself, why should he let them go? Let them become enemies in the future?

At this point, Yang Zhao has to be ruthless when necessary.

Jia Xu raised his head and felt that the lord was a little ruthless.

But he likes to be so ruthless, as a superior, if he is not ruthless, how can he dominate the world?

The lord's heart is ruthless, and he can be affectionate and righteous to his enemies, and he can treat his own people, this is their lord.

Yang Zhao asked Jia Xu rhetorically, "Don't you think Wen Hejue thinks that my idea is too ruthless?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The lord's ruthlessness to the outside world is no problem at all, because benevolent people can't achieve great things." ”

A smile appeared on Yang Zhao's face again: "What you said makes sense, you have to be ruthless to the outside world, but for our own people, you can't do this, I remember Wen He's sentence." ”

"This is what the lord has always done, not a reminder from me."

Jia Xu added: "The lord attaches great importance to us, and we can see this. ”

Next, Yang Zhao went to the government office to find Kong Rong and deal with the post-war affairs with him.

Yang Zhao only now discovered that when a county is too guarded, there are many more things to deal with than when he was the county magistrate.

After handling the affairs of Duchang as soon as possible, they returned to Yingling.

Yingling is the county of Beihai, and Kong Rong's usual office is in Yingling County.

Yang Zhao followed Kong Rong to Yingling, and saw that there was already a large backlog of government affairs in the government office, so he called Jia Xu and Li Ru in, and they assisted Kong Rong to deal with it together.

After arriving at the camp, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

There were more than 10,000 soldiers under Yang Zhao, all of whom were stationed outside Yingling City.

As for the Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered, how to train, Yang Zhao handed them over to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

When the Yellow Turban Army was a traitor, it was unrestrained and undisciplined, and it was difficult to integrate with the regular army.

can only work hard Zhang Liao and Gao Shun them.

During this period, Tai Shi Ci returned.

He kept his promise, and he really wanted to invest in Yang Zhao's account.

It was impossible for Yang Zhao to refuse, and he couldn't ask for it.

That's how they were, they stayed in the North Sea, and they had no intention of leaving.

One day.

Kong Rong called Yang Zhao to the government office and said solemnly: "I still understand Mingguang's thoughts. ”

Yang Zhao pretended not to understand and asked, "May I ask Kong Gong, what do I have in mind?" ”

Kong Rong laughed: "Actually, my ability is like this, it's better to handle government affairs, but if I want to lead the troops to fight and guard the Beihai, I can't do it at all. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhao nodded, but did not speak, waiting for him to continue.

Kong Rong said again: "Mingguang's ability is very high, he has helped me deal with government affairs recently, and he is also good at managing politics, he is more suitable than me to be the Taishou of Beihai, if it is becoming more and more chaotic today, the people who fought against Dong Zhuo together at the beginning are basically divided into one side now, I believe that Mingguang will not have this idea." ”

"The idea is there."

was directly told by Kong Rong, and Yang Zhao was still a little embarrassed.

Kong Rong smiled again: "So I said, I understand Mingguang's thoughts, I came to Beihai, and I also want to get Beihai, I understand!" ”

Yang Zhao said embarrassedly: "Gong Kong said so directly, I didn't know what to say for a while. ”

Kong Rong patted Yang Zhao on the shoulder and continued: "I have already written the chapter, and I will send it to Chang'an later, I recommend Mingguang to be the Taishou of Beihai, I can't keep Beihai, only Mingguang can." ”

"Kong Gong has abdicated, what are you going to do next?"

Yang Zhao was not polite to Kong Rong, and went straight to the next.

At this time, it will seem very hypocritical and hypocritical to pretend to excuse it.

It's just that Kong Rong's directness surprised him, his careful thinking can't be hidden from too many people, but at this time, nothing matters, just take over Beihai.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to persuade Kong Rong to abdicate after coming to Beihai, and now he will save a lot of trouble.

Kong Rong said: "I'm going to go home and rest for a while, I've been too tired lately. ”

Since he wanted to go back, Yang Zhao did not refuse or stay.

"The next Beihai will be handed over to Mingguang." Kong Rong said again.

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Gong Kong, with me, I will definitely not let Beihai have any losses." ”

Kong Rong smiled with satisfaction and sighed: "Our Qingzhou's thorn history is even worse than mine, if Mingguang has a chance, you can replace it, Qingzhou is in your hands, more suitable than anyone else." ”

After that, he handed over the piece to a cronie and asked him to send it to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether Chang'an agrees or not, Beihai County is already Yang Zhao's territory.

With the current situation in the world, the imperial court has long been unable to control local forces.

Whoever has soldiers will be able to divide the territory.

Now Yang Zhao has troops, annexed the surrendered Yellow Turban Army, and then got Kong Rong's subordinates, and the original soldiers and horses in Beihai quickly rose to more than 25,000 people.

"One more thing, I have to remind Mingguang."

Kong Rong said again.

Yang Zhao said: "Please advise Kong Gong." ”

Kong Rong said: "The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, without what you see, there are a lot of believers in Taiping Dao, and they can become soldiers at any time to make trouble, this battle fails, Zhang Baiqi may come to attack again, you must pay attention." ”

This is also the reason why he is willing to abdicate.

He was worried that the Yellow Turban Army would come again, Zhang Baiqi would not give up, and he would not be able to defend it, so he could not always ask Yang Zhao for help, so it was better to let Yang Zhao defend it.

How many Yellow Turbans are there in Qingzhou?

Yang Zhao remembered that Cao Cao got 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, millions of Yellow Turban believers and people.

On this basis, he developed rapidly.

However, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao did not dare to use all of them, because the quality of this group of soldiers was too poor, they were used to rebellion, burning and plundering everywhere, there was no military discipline at all, it is said that the slaughter of Xuzhou, most of them were done by this group of people, and Cao Cao could not control it.

Therefore, during the battle of Guandu, he fought against Yuan Shao's Hebei soldiers, and Cao Cao did not dare to bring the rabble of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to fight.

However, the next Yellow Turban Army will probably not attack Qingzhou again, but attack Yanzhou, Yang Zhao wants to get this batch of Yellow Turban Army, so he has to start from Yanzhou.

As for whether he will be like Cao Cao, he will not dare to use this batch of Qingzhou yellow scarves?

I don't know for the time being, but if he can poach them all by then, he will have to find ways to train them and turn them into real disciplined forces before they can be used on the battlefield.
