Chapter 26: The Mountain

Zhao Zhuang was temporarily handed over to Cao Hong by Cao Mengde, but as for Cheng Yu, he went to Yandong with him.

Although Cao Mengde trusts Cheng Yu and even shows him the important affairs in the village, such an important place as Zhaozhuang will not be easily handed over to him to be in charge. Only the relatives of the Cao family and the Xiahou family can reassure Cao Mengde.

Before leading the troops away, Cao Mengde had already discussed with Zhao Yu and Cheng Yu about the development plan of Dongjun, and Xiahou Yuan only needed to implement it step by step.

As for Zhao Yu, entering and exiting Zhaozhuang, there is naturally no obstacle. Within a few days of Cao Mengde leading the troops away, he made excellent paper. However, this kind of paper with low cost, good quality, and large-scale popularization is also extremely important, and it cannot be circulated for the time being. Both Cao Mengde and Cheng Yu know this, paper will replace bamboo slips and become a new carrier of civilization, which should be treated with caution. If you do a good job, all the literati in the world should be grateful to him Cao Mengde. Therefore, it is not possible to arbitrarily distinguish them for the time being.

After the papermaking business was done, Zhao Yu was completely idle.

For the next half a month, I didn't go to Zhaozhuang again, either I stayed at home, lazy like a master, or I just walked around the city. Whether it was Zhao Zhuang or Puyang's important military and political affairs, Zhao Yu completely ignored them. Even if Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong came to the door, he could ignore it.

Probably too idle, Zhao Yu went to the county guard mansion this day and found Xiahou Yuan.

"Mr. Zhao. ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to slack off.

Zhao Yu said: "I have nothing to do, I went out of the city to play yesterday and saw a few small hills, and the scenery is good." You give him to me. ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't say a word, he asked people to take the map, and with a stroke of the pen, the small hill became Zhao Yu's.

After rowing, he asked, "What does Mr. Zhao want to do on these hills?"

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "I told Meng De at the beginning that I wanted him to search for some medicinal herbs and strange things for me, and the feng shui on that hill is good, and the five elements of yin and yang are complete, which is just used to grow medicinal herbs." In addition, I plan to set up the courtyard of my Taihe Xianmen on the top of the mountain, so I will also build a courtyard. ”

When Zhao Yu mentioned the conditions to Cao Mengde, Xiahou Yuan was not present. However, Xiahou Yuan is not unaware of this matter.

Hearing this, he immediately understood in his heart, and said: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, the matter of the other courtyard, at most half a month..."

Zhao Yu smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, I'll just find some masons and repair them myself." Public and private use is not good. ”

Then in Xiahou Yuan's sighing look, he turned around and left the county guard's mansion.

Now under Zhao Yu's hands, there is no one who can be used. Baili Division, Zhang Wang, Wang Tian, and Dian Wei were all handed over to Cao Mengde by Zhao Yu. Dian Wei directly entered the army and followed Cao Mengde to fight the yellow scarf. So if you want to do something, you have to find someone to do it.

Again, take a walk in the city.

Although Dongjun is now under the rule of Cao Mengde, it is not a matter of three or five days to turn the situation around, and the human market is still very prosperous.

Zhao Yu was not picky, and directly bought two people, one old and one young, both grandparents and grandchildren.

The old one is called Zhang Er, there is no name, the younger one is a girl, called Xiaoyu, only ten years old, thin like a firewood stick.

These two ancestors and grandchildren are from the most ordinary people, and they have no knowledge.

Zhao Yu first took his grandparents and grandchildren home for a trip, let Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu take care of Xiaoyu, and took Zhang Er, who had changed into clothes, to the city to recruit carpenters and masons.

This busy time is four or five days. The main thing is that Zhang Er won't, everything has to be handled by Zhao Yu himself. However, after following for a few days, Zhang Er gradually became familiar with it and was able to try to handle things on his own.

Then it was natural to transform the hill.

The small mountain bag that Zhao Yu took a fancy to was thirty miles east of Puyang City, on the verge of the bank of the big river. The three hills stand tall, not high, 180 meters away. But it is very delicate and fluent in feng shui. Zhao Yu planned to build the Taihe Courtyard in the col between the three small hills.

The drawings had been prepared a long time ago, but the carpentry masons recruited in the city were not of sufficient level, so they had no choice but to ask Cao Hong to borrow a few masters from Zhaozhuang for guidance.

was also called Zhang Er to supervise the work, and Zhao Yu liberated himself.

However, he only liberated himself from the infrastructure of the other courtyard, and he had more important things to do.

Since it is an annex of Xianmen, of course it must be different, and some medicinal herbs must be planted here, so it cannot be free-ranged.

So Zhao Yu has to do something on these three mountains.

Formations.

Speaking of formations, in the Tianyan Mirror Illusion Realm, Zhao Yu is also extremely proficient. From the lowest-level basic formation, to the Heavenly Divine Formation, Zhou Tian Xingdou, and Zhuxian Sword Formation, everything is understood. But those are all illusionary existences, true and false. It also needs to be distilled to be useful.

But this is not difficult for Zhao Yu.

Each branch system of the Immortal Dao is interconnected. The formation, especially the technique of the talisman, is the closest. Zhao Yu had already refined the essence of many talisman techniques, and now with the help of the truths in many books in the real world, it was not difficult to lay out some basic formations.

But with Zhao Yu's current mana realm, he has to rely on some foreign objects.

Just as Zhao Yuwo was making the formation base talisman at home, Dian Wei came back.

"East... Sir!"

Originally, he was going to be called the owner, but now that he is no longer Zhao Yu's servant, he was stunned, and Dian Wei had to be called Mr. as well.

"Why are you back?" Zhao Yu was surprised when he saw Dian Wei, and then reacted: "What does Meng De have to think?"

Zhao Yu didn't think that after having enough good armor, Cao Mengde would not be able to beat the rabble of the Yellow Turban.

Before Dian Wei could speak, in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yu understood: "Meng De plans to subdue the Yellow Turban thieves?"

Dian Wei's eyes widened: "Mr. knows?!"

Zhao Yu smiled: "Meng De's soldiers are excellent, and there are Yuan Rang, Zihe, and your bravery, just a yellow scarf, what is the use of a large number of people?

Dian Wei scratched his head: "No wonder the lord said that Mr. must know." ”

After entering the house, Zhao Yu didn't first ask about the acceptance of the yellow scarf, but asked Liu Dai: "How is Liu Gongshan now?

Dian Wei smiled: "It's dead." "Oh?"

"His life is not good, the lord led the troops to hurry and hurry, but when he arrived, he had just died. ”

"This is providence. Zhao Yu laughed: "I thought he wouldn't die, so I had to find another way." ”

Then he said, "It's better to be dead." Now Meng De must have taken over Liu Gongshan's army, right?"

Dian Wei nodded hurriedly.

"Good. Zhao Yu bowed: "Dong Zhuo is in chaos, the western part of Yanzhou is looted back and forth by Dong Zhuo and the princes, sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of population. Meng De must have taken a fancy to the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, as long as they are properly handled, these Yellow Turbans can not only provide Meng De with an elite army, but also restore production in the western part of Yanzhou, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore he did not want to kill them on a large scale, but wanted to subdue them. But I couldn't think of a good way, so I asked you to come back. ”

Dian Wei nodded vigorously.

In real history, Cao Mengde subdued the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and the old, weak, and young added up to more than one million, and at once enriched the counties in the western part of Yanzhou, greatly enhancing his own strength. But first, it takes time to do the daily work, and secondly, it is still difficult to do it.

If there is no Zhao Yu, Cao Mengde and the Yellow Turban will be successful. But with Zhao Yu, Cao Mengde thought of a more convenient way.

Zhao Yu is a veritable immortal family, so much higher than the so-called great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao. As long as he comes forward and shows a few hands, he is not afraid that the yellow scarf will not surrender.

Zhao Yu also thought of this and said, "In this case, I'll take a trip." ”

So he put down the affairs in his hand, Zhao Yu called Zhang Er to give a little command, and then together with Dian Wei, he quickly whipped up his horse and went all the way to Taishan County.

Qingzhou was suppressed earlier by no powerful figures, which led to the resurgence of the Yellow Turban.

And Gongsun Chan conspired with Yuan Shao to seize Han Fu Jizhou, so Yuan Shao promised Qingzhou to Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, Yuan Shao was still fighting with Han Fu, but Gongsun Zhan had already sent troops to Qingzhou, and he won successive battles and drove the Qingzhou Yellow Turban out of Qingzhou.

Among them, there is another shadow of a famous figure, that is Liu Bei.

The so-called eighteenth road princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was originally named the county lieutenant of Anxi County for his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban, and later the imperial court had an order: if people who became officials because of military merits, they must be selected and eliminated, and the county superintendent of the post should be dismissed Liu Bei, after Liu Bei knew the news, he went to the post station where the superintendent stayed to ask for a meeting, and the superintendent said that he refused to see Liu Bei, Liu Bei held a grudge, tied up the superintendent and whipped two hundred times, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei abandoned the official and fled.

Later, the general He Jin sent Biqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops, and Liu Bei also joined on the way. Later, he served as Gao Tang Wei and Gao Tang Ling. Soon Gaotang County was broken by thieves, and Liu Bei went to Gongsun Zan and was listed as Sima of other departments.

That is to say, when the princes were crusading against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei was under the command of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. The princes begged for Dong, and there was no matter of Gongsun Zhan, it was too far.

Gongsun Zan conspired with Yuan Shao in Jizhou and sent Tian Kai to Qingzhou, and Liu Bei was among them. At this time, Liu Bei, because of the accumulation of military exploits in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, has been appointed by Tian Kai as the plain order, looking west to Jizhou, and to the south to guard the road of the Yellow Turban to the north.

Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou yellow turbans dragged their families with their mouths, and at this time they were entrenched in the Taishan Mountains and the counties east of Mount Tai. Previously, the Yellow Turban was like a bamboo, Liu Dai couldn't be it, and even died in the battle. After Cao Mengde led his troops to Jibei Kingdom, he fought a series of battles and drove most of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans out of Jibei Kingdom.

However, the Yellow Turbans are numerous, Cao Mengde has few soldiers, and he can't break them in a fight, and he covets the Yellow Turban population, so he holds each other in Juping and Chengxian on the border between Taishan County and Jibei County.

Yellow scarves have a thief nature, do not produce, and everywhere they pass, the ground has to be scraped off. The battle with Cao Mengde was unfavorable, and its head Guan Hai and others gradually set their sights on the Qi State and Beihai State east of Mount Tai.

If the stalemate continues according to this situation, it will take more than a year of stalemate before Cao Mengde can subdue the Qingzhou Yellow Turban for his own use.

And at this time, Zhao Yu arrived in Juping with Dian Wei.
