Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 254 Good Guy, Your Blood Boils With Your Words!

"People from Youzhou, Youbeiping has no end, Tian Chou, Tian Zitai."

Once the imperial court wanted to make him a cavalry captain, but he refused to accept it, and he has always been under Liu Yu's command.

"Tsk, you don't know me."

Dian Wei blinked. Anyway, he didn't know where this person is now, but he still recruited many officials in various parts of Youzhou. If Xu Zhen said so, he usually served as county magistrate in his hometown.

But if you don't know each other, you may not be able to act sincerely and stably if you directly recruit them.

Xu Zhen leaned back, with a confident smile on his lips, and said, "Maybe then? You can't be sure about things like charm. Once I go, people will always have ideas to repay me when they see me."

"What kindness do you have?" Dian Wei looked bitter, he felt that Junhou's condition was really getting worse recently.

Ever since I became a chariot general, my love for myself has grown deeper and deeper, so I have never seen him before, and this is the first time I have heard his name.

"There must be, come with me to Wuzhong County to find him."

"Hey, let's go."

Dian Wei nodded, and secretly gave Xu Zhen a look from behind.

Then he shook his head sadly, he didn't know when the disease would be cured.

……

In Wuzhong County, Youzhou, the cities in the collapsed townships and counties are almost all rough low-rise buildings, which are only preliminary reconstruction for the time being, to give the people a place to live.

Most of the fields are still being repaired, the fields and roads on the ridges are more subsided, and there is no cowshed for the cattle of each family.

Xu Zhen's army came here with a lot of gifts, chariots and horses, which attracted a lot of attention. They were all covered with brocade cloth, but when they saw the Xu Zi flag and Dian Zi flag, they hardly dared to go forward to disturb.

He only dared to look around secretly from a distance, but the place of Wuzhong itself is quite remote, there are very few big officials, and it is rare that so many soldiers and horses come here.

It caused quite a commotion, some people were terrified, and some people jumped for joy, secretly delighted in their hearts.

They all speculated about their intentions.

Xu Zhen went straight to the government office. The government office in Wuzhong County was extremely rudimentary, and half of the walls hadn't been built yet.

Before Xu Zhen rode his horse to the gate, he glanced up and shook his head slightly, "Not all places in Youzhou have been rebuilt, and being displaced after the war is really not about expressing emotion."

"It's not so easy to rebuild these city walls and roof tiles, and it will take a lot of time and money."

Dian Wei followed Xu Zhen off his horse, walked side by side, and also said with emotion: "It used to be like this in Jiwu."

"At that time, most of the residential buildings in our entire city were in ruins, and the common people were squatting in the city, with nothing to do."

"There is no material at the border of Youzhou, and it is difficult for us to transport it from Jizhou, so it will take a long time for the materials to be restored."

Xu Zhen understood at a glance that Wuzhong County was not short of money, but the main reason was that it did not have much manpower.

It is not possible to obtain materials from various places, and the local people cannot gather together, which can be regarded as not enough to eat.

It is also necessary to transport food and grass to fill the people's stomachs before mobilizing the people's emotions and making them willing to participate in the reconstruction.

Inside the government office, there were two or three sergeants standing at the door, there were no more than [-] soldiers stationed there, and the rest were practicing in the barracks, soon someone went to inform the county magistrate in the main hall.

Tian Chou came out quickly, with strides, directly from the main hall to the front yard, all the way to the gate.

This man was not old, he was dressed as a middle-aged scribe, he was wearing a thick robe, his hair was a little messy, his beard hadn't been groomed for a long time, but his eyes were still firm.

"Cheqi! I didn't expect you to come here in person. Please forgive me for my disappointment."

Tian Chou immediately cupped his hands and bowed, his face was quite solemn and serious, he never smiled flatteringly, but was a little excited.

"When the chariots come, you should be able to observe the people's sentiments. There is no shortage of food and money, and there is also a shortage of people and manpower."

"If Cheqi sees the people scattered under the ruins with his own eyes, he will know what he said is true. Although I am an official in my hometown, I have no power, but I have nothing to do if I have no talent and no one."

Xu Zhen and Dian Wei immediately looked at each other, and they didn't expect that they just arrived, and they only saw each other familiarly, so they made him such a request.

This Wuzhong county magistrate really does not regard himself as an outsider at all.

"Tsk," Xu Zhen nodded seriously, "Okay, when I go back to Yuyang this time, the food will be delivered right away, so don't worry."

"Oh, Cheqi is really sympathetic to the people."

"Mr. is absurdly praised. I have heard of Mr.'s name for a long time. He hid in the land of Youzhou. He was not recruited by the Yuan family. He led his clan to live in the mountains. Now he has come to his hometown for the time being."

"However, I want to ask the old gentleman to come out and help me."

"Old?" Tian Chou's eyes suddenly lost their luster, "Che Qi, I will be thirty-three this year... only two years older than you."

Xu Zhen and Dian Wei were stunned on the spot.

This……

Why does he look like a little old man.

Bowed and humble, with sunken shoulders, emaciated, rough and dark skin, and a messy beard.

"Oh……"

Xu Zhen coughed twice with his hands behind his back to ease the embarrassment.

"Sir, it looks like he is about the same age as a military division under my command."

Tian Chou thought for a while, then asked softly, "Yes, Jia Wenhe, Jia Jijiu?"

"Ah."

Xu Zhen nodded, and Tian Chou immediately showed resentment. It seemed that he was indeed busy with government affairs and neglected to take care of him.

That Jia Wenhe is more than twenty years older than me, almost thirty.

"Cheqi please."

Tian Chou let him into the main hall with a bitter face.

Several people sat down on the main seat, Xu Zhen asked people to put all the gifts in the courtyard, Tian Chou glanced at it when he entered the main hall, and asked impatiently as soon as he sat down: "Cheqi, how many carts are there in the courtyard?" The unloaded presents are all for me, right?"

"Yes."

"Really give it to me?"

"I really give it to you," Xu Zhen glared, "How do you plan to deal with it, sir?"

"It's gone!"

Tian Chou immediately stood up and paid homage to Xu Zhen, and then called the guards standing outside the government office, telling them to exchange these things for food, and exchange them with the caravan staying in the city for food and cloth, and distribute them to the people.

And the rest of the money is all put into the warehouse, waiting to recruit manpower in the future, the joy on his face is amazing.

But Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Yang Xiu didn't think there was anything strange about it.

After Tian Chou came in, he smiled at Xu Zhen, cupped his hands and said, "Don't blame the chariots and riders. I'm in the city of no end. I saw that the people's livelihood is too bleak, so I scattered them among the common people with the gift of a prince."

"This move is not to reject Cheqi's kindness, but to worry that the people in the city dare not take it by themselves, so I ask Cheqi to forgive me."

"Your Majesty, this is not a weird act. Although it is different from ordinary people, there is a reason for it."

Xu Zhen waved his hand, his face was very calm, "It's okay."

Dian Wei smiled and said: "What's so weird about this, Che Qi has been doing this for ten years."

"My lord's rewards are distributed to the common people, or rewarded to the whole army. This has been the case for ten years."

"Ave."

Xu Zhen glanced at Dian Wei, slightly scolding him.

In fact, I am very happy.

well said!
Next time, speak faster, speak more, and boast more!The boy is getting more and more capable now!

Tian Chou opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Looking at Xu Zhen in surprise, his expression was more respectful than before.

He has been a hermit for a long time, and he lived in a remote place in Youzhou. What he heard about Xu Zhen's deeds was only a half-knowledge, and he didn't know all of them, so he had never heard of some subtle habits.

All I know is that he is good at fighting, especially the Yuan family.

For two generations of the Yuan family, the four monarchs all lost to him.

It seems that after he was born, he specially came to restrain his Yuan family.

Now that the tough general said so bluntly, it seems that there is no falsehood.

No wonder so many talented people can gather around him.

"Then, I should respect Che Qi more, um..." Tian Chou bowed and said this, his eyes were already full of energy when he got up, he raised a little interest, and asked quickly: "Che Qi is here, but Is something wrong?"

"If you want to expropriate me, if you want Wuzhong County to improve and resettle the local people, I will immediately follow the army of chariots and cavalry."

"If there is anything else, please let Cheqi speak up."

Hearing what he said, Xu Zhen was also a real person, and he didn't want to continue to test secretly, but asked directly, so he said straight to the point: "In the land of Youzhou, Liaodong is in chaos, and the prime minister is very disturbed."

"Previously, I made an agreement with Gongsun Kang that the two places should be friendly, build Chidao, build the main road leading to Liaodong, and let it belong to Youzhou."

"However, although Gongsundu and Gongsunkang's father and son belonged to the Cao family, they supported the emperor Xudu and sent them tribute. It seemed peaceful. Although the people in Liaodong were tough, they also accepted merchants and horses from Jizhou and Youzhou. There will be no chaos for decades."

"But what about the next generation? What about the next generation?"

Tian Chou nodded secretly, and immediately said with a smile: "Cheqi wants to belong to Liaodong, so we can march to suppress it in the future."

"That's right! The land of Central Plains cut ties with Liaodong decades ago, and there were few battles between soldiers and horses for many years. When Liu Youzhou was here, Liaodong might have peacefully supported him, but now the governor of Youzhou belongs to the Cao family. "

"It's impossible to guarantee that it will be eternal after changing generations. Xudu still has to take precautions. This is my duty to station troops in Youzhou."

"So that's how it is. I understand it now. Since Che Qi belongs to the map, I really have a discussion. Let's talk about it."

Xu Zhen and the others immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Sure enough, talented people in the local area are better at negotiating and doing things better.

"Please say."

"The Liaodong road and the road going north out of Liucheng have several trails, but ordinary people don't march like this. Here is a small map."

Tian Chou walked up to Xu Zhen, and took out a pile of cloth from his arms, the quality of which was good or bad. After looking through several sheets, he took out one and laid it on the copy.

A trail leads directly to the land about [-] miles below Liucheng. If you touch here to launch a surprise attack, you can catch Wuhuan Shanyu before he can react in time. If you march at night, it will be easier to succeed.

Similarly, there are three small roads that can go from Liucheng to Wuli, which are dozens of miles away from the northern part of the Liaodong vassal state.

"If Cheqi wants to take Liaodong, he must first recover Liaoxi."

"In Liaoxi County, the land of Liucheng has been occupied by Wuhuan from time to time, and they often enter and leave the territory to plunder the people, so they regard it as their own city and county. Over the years, Liucheng has accumulated a lot of people from Wuhuan. The Shanyu of this generation is named Ta Even though he is young, he is already quite prestigious."

"My guess is that Yuan Xi, whom Cheqi wants to chase down, should be near Liucheng."

"These roads are the best roads to take Liaoxi and Liaodong."

Yang Xiu came closer to take a look, and said doubtfully, "Here, I remember that these two places are both rivers?"

Tian Chou glanced at him and immediately smiled, "That's right, but once autumn and winter come, these places will be covered with thick ice, and vehicles and horses will pass slowly. Will break!"

Only then did Yang Xiu suddenly realize, "So it turns out that using the ice to march is a strategy that few people can think of, and it can be regarded as a dangerous strategy for soldiers."

"However, breaking Liucheng will arouse Gongsun Du's suspicion, and it will be difficult to attack if we set up tight defenses. We can only attack one place."

Yang Xiu looked at Xu Zhen and said, "Cheqi, maybe you can lead Gongsun Du to attack Liucheng, first order him to consume Wuhuan's troops, and often praise his achievements outside the town."

Xu Zhen rubbed his chin, this plan is feasible.

Let Gongsundu think that we always expect him to help defend against foreign enemies, rely on him, and often comfort him with food and military pay.

Let him gradually trust him, and then suddenly launch an attack in the future, taking advantage of Liaodong when he is not prepared.

Acting like this is unavoidably despicable, but one is that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the winner is king, so why bother with these despicable and not despicable things.

Liaodong is in my hands, isn't it more prosperous than in his hands?
Furthermore, Xu Zhen always remembered that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang and his son were loyal to the Han Dynasty and showed no signs of rebellion.

It was Gongsun Yuan who succeeded to the throne that really caused chaos.

This person was an anti-Wei person who was defeated and killed by Sima Yi.

In order to prevent future troubles, it is natural to plan in advance.

The instability of Liaodong and Northern Xinjiang has something to do with a big event that will kill the great Han in the Central Plains in the future. In order to prevent such things, Xu Zhen would rather attack by himself and kill the foreigners or beat them all into slaves and dare not disobey.

People who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence is definitely not a word of indignation, but a word of awakening.

"Cheqi, are you satisfied with this blueprint?"

Tian Chou saw that Xu Zhen was deep in thought, so he clasped his hands and asked a question.

"it is good."

"That's good," Tian Chou breathed a sigh of relief, "In order to stabilize Liaodong, there must be an invincible army of chariots and cavalry. This map is what I thought about several years ago. I can see the chariots and cavalry today. Dedicated to You only want to keep the border safe."

"So that my border soldiers can also have the opportunity to go out and rob other people."

Xu Zhen laughed, "You're right, I thought Mr. would be sympathetic, and only wanted to protect himself and not to attack."

"Of course not. Xiaoxiao can only be deterred by attacking far away. I have lived in seclusion in Youbeiping all these years. I have seen a lot and naturally understand that the warlords in the Central Plains are fighting melee. The borders are often invaded. The defenders are replaced every year. Fate against each other, but for the sake of protecting the peace of the family, I don't want to see relatives and friends killed by foreigners."

"These nobles guard the frontier fortresses because of their friendship. When will the heavenly soldiers come to the world, and the power will shake Liaodong, I look forward to the chariots."

Whether this new Cheqi can beat the foreigners as hard as he beat the Yuan family depends on whether he can take down Liucheng!

"Cheqi, Langjuxu Mountain has not been enshrined in Zen for hundreds of years. If Cheqi can defeat the white wolf in the north and go west to Langjuxu, what kind of scene will it be?"

Xu Zhen's eyes shook for a moment, his pride was aroused by these words, and then he slapped Tian Chou on the shoulder, "Don't provoke me."

"I heard that you were good at fencing when you were young?"

"That's how you were a good ranger when you were young. Could it be that Mr. also guarded Lulong?" Xu Zhen chuckled, "I dare not be a heavenly soldier, but I am in Liaodong, and there will be peace."

Good guy, I almost got excited by your few words.

Tian Chou was so slapped that his teeth were grinning, and he almost fell to the ground without his body.

My heart was shocked, so much strength.

Isn't this car rider a Confucian scholar?
