Chapter 78 Huang Zhongqiao Enters Qingzhou to Perform Important Military Affairs!!

Dongping Mausoleum in Jinan, Qingzhou.

Looking at Xia Houtian’s message, Cheng Yu’s expression was a little surprised: “Your Majesty’s prestige is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?!” ”

Xiahou Tuan implemented according to Cheng Yu’s strategy, but in a day or two, he had already collected more than 100,000 deserters from the Yellow Turban Army.

If it continues, I am afraid that it will be hundreds of thousands, or even all of them will be collected!

But now in the North Sea of Qingzhou, they are already somewhat short of grain and grass!

One by one, because according to His Majesty’s edict, the people can rent grain from the imperial court to live, distribute seeds for free to cultivate, and wait until the harvest is plentiful!

These advance expenses almost dragged down Xia Houtian’s army!

Cheng Yu looked at the envoy in front of him and said to him: “You immediately go back and tell General Xiahou that I have already gone to the imperial court before the design, and sent more grain and grass to help Qingzhou, I think I can arrive during this time, so that he does not need to worry”

“Also, no matter how many deserters the Yellow Turban Army comes, they will all accept them as ordered, stabilize these soldiers and soldiers, select Qingzhuang soldiers from them, form Qingzhou soldiers, and counterattack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!”

Seeing the messenger frowning and memorizing, Cheng Yu was afraid of accidents, so he quickly wrote Long Feifeng Dance and wrote.

His Majesty’s prestige is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is unexpected by Cheng Yu.

In this way, the original strategy needs to be changed!

With the number of deserters in the Yellow Turban Army today, Guan Hai and other commanders of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army must not dare to directly attack those deserters, but it is possible that the dog jumps over the wall and directly attacks the main force of officers and soldiers such as Xiahou Teng.

At this time, the formation of Qingzhou soldiers to counterattack is to return the favor with the other way, and use the Qingzhou people to fight back against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!

Knowing oneself and knowing each other is invincible, for the understanding of Qingzhou terrain and so on, naturally these Qingzhou locals are clear!

“Thank you Cheng Taishou, I’ll go back and pray to General Xiahou!”

The messenger received the handwritten letter and quickly retreated.

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, walked to the Kanyutu on one side, and looked at Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

After pondering for a moment, he then sat down again, wrote a letter written by Long Feifeng Dance, and shouted to the guards: “Come! ”

“What is Taishou’s order?”

“Send this letter to the hands of Taishan County Shou Lusu!”

Cheng Yu said solemnly: “You must personally deliver it to Lu Zijing!” ”

“The last will obey the order!”

The guard solemnly accepted the letter and hurriedly retreated.

Lu Su is the fourth in the imperial examination, temporarily taking the post of Taishan County Taishou!

Yanzhou Taishan County is adjacent to Qingzhou Jinan to the north, Xuzhou Langya State to the south, Yanzhou Shanyang County to the west, and Qingzhou Beihai County to the east.

It is necessary to let Lu Su increase his troops to defend the border and prevent the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army dogs from jumping over the wall and entering the Yanzhou territory.

If Xiahou Tian can’t wipe out the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, it’s best to let them enter the Xuzhou realm, anyway, the headache is Tao Qian!

“I don’t know how Zijing is in charge of Taishan County? Did you get the power of the army? ”

Cheng Yu was a little worried.

Lu Su’s results are good, and the fourth place in the imperial examination is the best proof. But now he is only in his twenties, and he is still slightly immature!

At this time, a guard hurriedly came to report: “Pray to Taishou, there are heralds to report, the Beijing division has sent more grain and grass to Qingzhou!” ”

“So fast?!”

Cheng Yu was a little surprised, and it was not right to calculate the time, “Can you confirm the identity?” ”

“The identity is not hindered, Jinyiwei personally confirms!”

The guards reported: “I heard that the grain and grass were drawn from the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass this time and personally escorted by General Huang Zhong…”

Cheng Yu suddenly, no wonder it was so fast, because the grain and grass were not drawn from the Beijing Division, but directly from the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass!

Tiger Pass is adjacent to the Yellow River, and only needs to be reached in just a few days along the waterway, and the time can be right.

“Since it was General Huang who personally escorted it, I should have gone to meet it!”

Cheng Yu got up directly.

At the beginning of the battle on the side of the princes of the Eighteenth Route, the soldiers of the fifth battalion of the northern army made great combat achievements, Zhao Yun was promoted to general, and Huang Zhong also turned from an adjutant general to a regular general!

The guard immediately said: “Returning to Taishou, General Huang’s herald has said that this time General Huang has important military affairs, but he is hiding his identity and secretly following the grain and grass, don’t alarm anyone, just send soldiers to dismantle the grain and grass!” ”

“Important military affairs?!”

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and he couldn’t figure it out for a while without enough information, but he still bowed his head and said, “In that case, you let Jin Yiwei receive it for me!” ”

“The last will obey the order!”

The guards quickly retreated.

Cheng Yu frowned and thought deeply, looking at the newspaper during this time, it was still difficult to guess the reason for it for a while!

The front line of Tiger Prison Pass, where the main forces of the Eastern Military Region are located, led by Zhao Yun, personally confronted Yuan Shao’s army outside the southern gate of Jizhou.

At the beginning, Xiahou Tuan and other 20,000 troops could not destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and applied to Zhao Yun for reinforcements, but Zhao Yun refused!

After all, Yuan Shao is the main enemy army!

But now not only did he dispatch grain and grass to reinforce Qingzhou first, but even Huang Zhong, a senior general, personally escorted grain and grass south!

This important military affairs is only at the national level approved by His Majesty!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was a little unable to sit still, because the movement of the military department was likely to disrupt his deployment in Qingzhou, and he had to understand it clearly.

No matter how bad it is, it is also necessary to roughly understand the intentions of the military department and avoid a conflict between the two sides’ own people!

What’s more, even if he wants to hide people’s eyes, he is too defensive in Jinan, if he sits back and watches the grain and grass dismantle and does not appear, it will be a little suspicious!

“Come on!”

“The end is coming!”

“Send a greeting to General Huang for me!”

“Yes!”

The grain protection team reinforced by the imperial court in Qingzhou, and the grain brigade from the Yellow River waterway all the way south consisted of more than 50 ships, large and small.

On the Yellow River Valley, the patrol ships of the navy army that were also cruising with Yuan Shao’s faction, after discovering this huge fleet, they did not dare to approach at all, so they could only observe from a distance, and at the same time send spies to investigate the news.

This fleet sailed hundreds of miles from the ferry port near Tiger Prison Pass, and it was impossible to remain without supplies. And the ferry ports of these supply points are the places where Yuan Shao’s spies listened carefully.

The spies quickly obtained a lot of intelligence information.

For example, this fleet was dispatched by Zhao Yun’s army from the front line to help Qingzhou, specially escorting grain and grass to the army of Xiahou Tuan in Qingzhou, and at the same time renting grain and grass to the people of Qingzhou for free.

The spies can determine from the draft of more than fifty fleets that these are not empty ships that are not hidden from the ears, they are indeed fully loaded.

As for the fully loaded cargo, whether it was grain and grass, they could not be sure. Because when the fleet was replenished at the ferry, it did not allow any traffickers to approach at all, and it was heavily guarded.

It is said that this fleet of more than 50 grain escort ships, guarded by thousands of soldiers, is appointed by Chen Qun by the current imperial examination, appointed grain guards, and personally escorted!

There aren’t too many other surprises!

Of course, what the spies didn’t know, or even many officials in the Great Han Dynasty, didn’t know that the real main general of the escort of grain and grass this time was Huang Zhong, the general of the Northern Army!

Huang Zhong has been dressed up in disguise, hiding in this food protection team as Chen Qun’s bodyguard.

The general of the Northern Army has hidden to this point, which shows that the “important military affairs” of the military department this time are definitely the top priority!

When the grain escort fleet went all the way south, passing through Guandu, the spies divided into two routes, continued to track them all the way, and returned to Jizhou all the way to report the message.

Jizhou Mufu Mansion.

When Yuan Shao heard this news, his face was solemn, he looked at the generals below, and hesitated: “I don’t know what you think?” ”

Guo Tu hesitated: “This matter is too strange!” Now that Zhao Yun has led an army to garrison the front line of Tiger Prison Pass, I have to send Yan Liang and Wen Qiu to lead an army to garrison Liyang to confront and avoid Zhao Yun’s surprise attack on Jizhou. ”

“But at this important juncture, Zhao Yun actually dispatched grain and grass troops to the south to help Qingzhou? Could it be that Zhao Yun is so confident that he can still block us after dividing the troops and grain? Aren’t you afraid that our whole army will go out and attack while the situation is in place? This is not very counterintuitive! ”

The judge also bowed his head and said, “Logically speaking, the grain and grass that rushed to help Qingzhou should be sent from the Beijing division, not from the front line!” Time is indeed faster, but the problem is that in case of an accident, the front line can even fall into a fatal crisis! ”

Yuan Shao’s eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: “If that’s the case, we can take this opportunity to attack Zhao Yun, not to mention a big victory, only a small victory, but also to frustrate their sharp spirit!” ”

“Lord Duke, this matter is too strange, I think it is better to stand still, maybe Zhao Yun deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, and then lured the enemy deeper?”

Xiang Guotu shook his head and said, “The spies can’t know whether the top of those fifty-odd ships is grain and grass or something else, and the depth of the draft can completely cover people’s eyes with stones!” ”

Yuan Shao is angry! Talk for a long time or stand still? Doesn’t it mean that it is a big taboo to divide troops and divide food at the front? Isn’t this the best time to attack?

Guo Tu’s ability to judge and match other advisers still made Yuan Shao a little disappointed. He looked around and found that he was frustrated and taught Tian Feng and the two to drink tea leisurely, and he became more and more annoyed!

These two people are both talented people who have the power to help the world, but now they are not used by him at all, Yuan Shao really wants to end them with one sword, but unfortunately, in order to avoid the death of the Jizhou Shizi rabbit and the same hatred, he can’t do it at all!

Who knew that wave after wave of unsettled waves, at this time, Xu You’s expression arrived in a hurry, and he sighed: “Originally, I can’t stop it!” Snowflake salt was smuggled directly into Jizhou through those merchants, and the price of salt collapsed directly!!! ”

Boom——Yuan Shao slapped on the table, and Thunder was furious: “Too much deception!” It’s too much to deceive!!! ”

At the beginning, Yuan Shao obeyed Xu You’s “salt tactics”, supported the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and destroyed the Qingzhou salt works, thinking that he could join forces with Xuzhou Taoqian to form salt sanctions against Jingshi Luoyang, coax salt prices, and trigger inflation in Luoyang!

If this kind of financial tactic is successful, the people of Luoyang will definitely make a sensation, storm the official government, and greatly weaken His Majesty’s prestige and strength!

Who knows, Yuan Shao spent a lot of energy, financial, material and manpower to support the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and it wasn’t long after he destroyed the Qingzhou salt works, and the smile on his face didn’t bloom for long, and snowflake salt came out!

That snow-white and flawless, no bitter snowflake salt, simply will be once full of impurities, full of bitter green salt, the body of the second kill is incomplete!

The most important thing is that the snowflake salt tower lady is 500 dollars for one stone, and buy one and get two free. Cheaper than the green salt of the past!

Even an idiot knows what to choose, right?!

Sure enough, once the snowflake salt flowed into Jizhou, the green salt shop controlled by Yuan Shao was directly defeated by the blow, and the door was broken!

This means that Jizhou’s important income: the salt tax, has also been directly destroyed!!!

Even if Yuan Shao asked Xu You to immediately lead the soldiers to chase and intercept it, to avoid the circulation of snowflake salt in Jizhou.

But it can be stopped on the surface, but the smuggling circulation in the dark cannot be stopped at all!

Those businessmen are mercenary, people don’t care about you Yuan Shao, the ban of Jizhou Mu, as long as it is profitable, even if it is His Majesty’s edict, they can ignore it!

“Grass him!!!”

Yuan Shao couldn’t help but burst into a foul mouth, his heart was dripping blood!!!

For this “salt tactic”, Yuan Shao paid too much, and the early investment had not yet seen the harvest, so he directly declared this “project” bankrupt!

Who can bear this?!

Yuan Shao really wanted to hold his head and cry!

If Xuzhou Tao Qian was here, this pair of brothers and brothers would empathize, huddle together to warm up and cry bitterly!

They really steal chickens and rice!!!

After replenishing at the Guandu ferry, the imperial court grain guard team went south again. In ancient times, the Yellow River was also diverted here, diverging two branches into the Bohai Sea.

The imperial grain guards took the Yellow River Ancient Road, passing through the ferry ports of Wuchao, Yanjin, and Baima.

All the way south, passing through the Yanzhou East County sphere of influence.

When they saw that Yanzhou Dongjun’s ferry port near the Yellow River had been completely controlled by Jinyiwei and East-West Factory Guard, the grain protection officers Chen Qun and Huang Zhong were a little relieved!

“Xiang Guo Jia is worthy of the list, in a short period of time, he has completely controlled the forces of Dongjun, and his ability is really outstanding!”

Huang Zhong praised.

Chen Qun was also the head of the jaw: “This imperial examination let me know that the world is full of talents, and there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountain!” In this mission, we only made a plan, and it was also a vividly demonstrated ability! ”

“Zhicai is really good! Changwen (Chen Qun) You are also extraordinary! In this imperial examination and martial arts examination, His Majesty’s selection of meritocracy and ability finally made the imperial court full of civil and military officials! ”

Huang Zhong praised Ju Zhicai, a military staff officer.

In fact, it didn’t take long for Ju Zhicai to be appointed as a staff officer of the army division after the end of the imperial examination and enter the Eastern Military Region to give advice.

In a short period of time, he was recognized by all the soldiers, and this important task was planned by Jie Zhicai, and it is conceivable that he is also deeply valued!

This imperial examination has selected a lot of resourceful advisers for the imperial court, and the advisers who have helped the world through the country, and now Liu Wei is really a courtier like rain, and a fierce general like a cloud!

“General Huang praised! Compared to those elite talents, I am still far behind! ”

Chen Qun sighed.

Huang Zhong said with a smile: “The sixteenth place in the imperial examination, Changwen is already very good!” Don’t be presumptuous! ”

“People go to high places!”

Chen Qun sighed, he used to boast of unparalleled intelligence, but this imperial examination really hit him hard.

During the casual chat between Huang Zhong and Chen Qun, the grain escort team quickly passed through Dongjun and finally approached the range of Jinan, Qingzhou.

This was the end of their trip, and Huang Zhong sent heralds in advance to inform Cheng Yu and let him prepare secretly, but not to greet them with great fanfare.

Here they would dismantle half of the grain and grass, and the remaining half would continue to pour along the Yellow River into the Bohai Sea, and then detour to the Beihai port for dismantling.

Xia Hou Tian and other soldiers are stationed in Beihai!

In the busyness, Jin Yiwei appeared and took over Cheng Yu to supervise the disassembly of grain and grass. Who knew that at this time, a soldier quietly approached the fleet and handed over Cheng Yu’s greeting.

“Cheng Yu wants to see me?”

Huang Zhong asked with some doubts.

“Yes!”

The messenger was from the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, and after thinking about it, he said: “Cheng Taishou seems to be a little surprised by General Huang’s hidden identity and accompanying him!” ”

Huang Zhong thought for a while, and then bowed his head: “Qingzhou Jinan curbs the mouth of the Yellow River, some things should also be let Cheng Yu know, you let Cheng Yu come over!” ”

It’s not that Huang Zhong is arrogant, but that he is disguised and disguises his identity, and if he runs to the Taishou Mansion, he will definitely enter the city, and there are many people and can’t hide it.

“Subordinates obey orders!”

The messenger quickly stepped back.

Who knew that not long after, Huang Zhong did not wait for Cheng Yu, but waited for a Jinyi guard’s call for help: “General, Cheng Taishou was assassinated by assassins, please send troops to help…”

“What?!”

Huang Zhong and Chen Qun were shocked!

The court official, Jinan Taishou, was assassinated by assassins in broad daylight?!

It’s so bold!!
