The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 Want to Contact Yuan Shaoying Montenegro

There are black bandits in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang and other places.

The so-called Black Mountain bandit is said to be based on the Black Mountain area, and it annexed all the bandits in just a few months. It can be said that it is the biggest bandit in Jizhou today.

If it's just bandits, it's not enough to worry Wei Tao, but Wei Tao knows that there is indeed a band of black mountain bandits in history.

The leader of the Black Mountain bandits in history is none other than Zhang Yan who once fought against Wei Tao.

In history, the Montenegrin bandits also had millions of soldiers. Although they are not as good as the regular army, they also posed a great threat to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who occupied Jizhou successively. In the end, Cao Cao sent a large army to force them to surrender. The thief disappeared.

The so-called black bandits are the Yellow Turban Army, and Wei Tao knows this.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Tao was really worried.

Wei Tao doesn't know how the black mountain bandits in history developed to that extent, but there is one thing Wei Tao can think of. Historical black bandits have always been black bandits, and they haven't really threatened Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

This can at least prove that at this time, it is absolutely impossible for the Black Mountain bandits to have such a big movement, and the most in history is just some powerful bandits.

"Zhang Ning..."

Chewing these two words, Wei Tao didn't know what it was like. This person who didn't know whether he existed in history, in short, now stands in front of him.

While thinking about it, Wei Tao couldn't help showing a wry smile. The last time we met, Zhang Ning already said clearly that he was scattering the old and weak among the yellow scarves into the folk.

Although it wasn't completely impossible to find traces at that time, Wei Tao didn't want to make any noise when he just took office. If he wanted to investigate them one by one at this time, it would not be so easy.

"If this continues, these Yellow Turban people can occupy the fields to cultivate, and then supply food and grass to the bandits in Heishan, and at the same time, they can choose people from them as soldiers, and so on..."

Wei Tao suddenly found out that if this continues, there may be a group of Yellow Turban princes in the world in the future, and the situation of the hegemony in the north will be even more uncertain.

Moreover, based on the current situation alone, the strength of the princes along this road is probably far beyond imagination.

"How can we now..."

"Report..."

While Wei Tao was thinking about it, one of the guards came to report that Zhen Yu, the master of the Zhen family, begged to see him.

"Zhen Yu? I will greet you immediately."

Wei Tao straightened his face, even if he went out to welcome him, Changshan County still had a lot of places to rely on the Zhen family.

"My lord, I have come here to discuss something important."

But Wei Tao never imagined that when he saw Zhen Yu, he would just hear him clap his hands, if it wasn't for something really important, a person like Zhen Yu would definitely not be so impatient.

So Wei Tao quickly screened back and forth, and then asked.

"I don't know what's the matter with the Zhen family? If there is anything we can help, Tao will do his best to help."

"Hehe...I'm afraid it's not the prefect who can't help this time."

Although it was a smile, but this time Zhen Yu actually smiled bitterly.

"I don't know, but do you know about the new Bohai prefect?"

"Isn't it the original justice of the four generations and three princes? I heard news from Luoyang a few days ago that Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the establishment. The original justice was not allowed. He held his sword to fight against it. Although it was never able to stop it, the Manchu court Lord, who can have the courage?"

Wei Tao nodded and answered.

Liu Bian was abolished three days ago. Wei Tao didn't have much loyalty to Liu's clan in the first place, so naturally he didn't have any regrets, but just kept this matter in his heart.

Dong Zhuo's behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among many civil and military officials, but there were not many people who actually took action. Yuan Shao's move has already won the praise of many people.

However, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family had disciples and old officials all over the world, so even Dong Zhuo had to be a bit cautious. Even if Yuan Shao disobeyed him face to face, Dong Zhuo couldn't be too forceful.

In the end, Dong Zhuo accepted the suggestion of his subordinates and gave Yuan Shao the post of Bohai prefect, which was considered to appease him.

Now that Dong Zhuo is very powerful, the Yuan family is unwilling to turn against Dong Zhuo, so after getting this position, the Yuan family also silenced.

"I'm also acquainted with him at the beginning, and he still treats people with sincerity, so what's wrong with him?"

Wei Tao asked again, in fact, Wei Tao also has some, Yuan Shao didn't say what his skills are, but he also wanted to achieve great things, a big family like the Zhen family would naturally not be easily offended.

"Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it. The descendants of the aristocratic family have their own demeanor. However, my Zhen family has a little girl named Mi. Although she is young, she is smart. Everyone in the Zhen family loves her. Because of the first meeting, I want to use it His child is engaged, it is hard to turn down the kindness, but the young girl is not suitable for this, if she refuses, she might offend Ben Chu."

Wei Tao never thought that this matter would have something to do with the future 'Luo Shen'.

"I heard that my lord has had contacts with Benchu, and now that my lord is the prefect of a county, which is equivalent to Benchu's status, and I can speak for you on my behalf."

After hearing Zhen Yu's words, Wei Tao just thought about it and understood that this was Yuan Shao's move to win over the Zhen family.

What's more, in the original history, Zhen Mi was indeed married to Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, but after the Yuan family was defeated and plundered by Cao Pi, she married Cao Pi again.

From this point of view, even if the Zhen family is unwilling, it shouldn't be for him to come forward to stop him.

"The Yuan family is a big family with four generations and three lords. Its disciples and old officials are all over the world. At the beginning, it was a generation of outstanding people. It must be not bad to be able to get married with it. Why did you let me be such a villain?"

"Although the Yuan family is a rich family, although Yuan Shao has a good name, his status in the Yuan family is not as good as Yuan Gonglu's. That's all right. After all, he is the prefect of Bohai Sea. The marriage will not insult the daughter of my Zhen family, but the married one As the second son, but not the eldest son, how can my Zhen family accept it?"

Zhen Yu said with a slight sneer.

Maybe in the future after Yuan Shao became a feudal lord dominating several states, the Zhen family would naturally not have the slightest opinion about it, but now Yuan Shao is only a prefect, even if someone is optimistic about his talent, there is absolutely no reason to be convinced.

Just like Cao Cao, Xu Zijiang was rated as "a capable minister in the world, a traitor in troubled times", but in addition to making his reputation more invigorating, it is nothing more than making people laugh.

Only when they reach future generations will everyone know that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are outstanding people.

From this point of view, the Zhen family's thoughts are not surprising.

"That's the way it is. If the beginning came, I should say it."

Wei Tao finally just responded with a smile.

In fact, Yuan Shao only arrived in Changshan County on the second day.

If it was someone else, Wei Tao wouldn't bother, but since it was Yuan Shao who came here only because of his family background, Wei Tao had no choice but to welcome him, this is the reason at this time.

Fortunately, Wei Tao is also the prefect of a county, and it is a great gift to go out of the city to greet Yuan Shao when he arrives, but he doesn't have to wait ten miles away to greet them like those people.

"Haha... Ziyu, you and I meet again! Why is it so necessary for old people to meet each other?"

Although Yuan Shao is the descendant of the fourth generation and the third lord, he is also self-confident. Of course, this is indeed arrogant in the eyes of some people.

However, Yuan Shao was more important to people from the same family, and his words and deeds were much more polite. Wei Tao came from the Chenliu family, with extraordinary talents, so he was naturally respected by Yuan Shao.

Seeing Wei Tao, Yuan Shao immediately dismounted and greeted him with a smile.

"Benchu ​​elder brother is here, can brother An welcome you?"

Wei Tao also smiled, this title was still in Xiyuan when Yuan Shao saw Wei Tao often called Meng De his elder brother and said with a smile that he was also his elder brother.

Wei Tao was young, so he would not suffer from calling him elder brother, so he was so happy.

But this is only in private, and it is limited to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"Ziyu has done a great job! It's a pity that he failed to see through Lu Bu's wolfish ambitions and prevent him from committing heinous acts."

After talking about it, Yuan Shao sighed leisurely.

"Now that Dong Zhuo is in power, upright people in the court cannot be promoted. Recently, Dong Zhuo is a man who wants to promote his reputation in the world to consolidate his power. If Mr. Cai Yong hadn't left Luoyang, I'm afraid he would have won one at this time."

When Yuan Shao said this, his expression was mostly indifferent, and Wei Tao couldn't see what he was thinking, so he just smiled along with him.

"It's a pity that Jiayuezhi is not here. It is Jiayue's hope to be able to compile the history of Han Dynasty and leave a piece of joy for future generations."

Although entrusted by others, Wei Tao would not bring up the matter hastily. After all, according to Wei Tao's thinking, the Zhen family still hoped that the matter would be delayed temporarily, and then make a decision after seeing Yuan Shao's success or failure.

"At the beginning, the new Bohai, I don't know what to do? I have been sitting in Changshan for several months, but there is no result except for a few battles. It is very annoying!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Yuan Shao smiled naturally. Regarding Wei Tao's actions in the past few months, in Yuan Shao's opinion, he was just a bit of a prefect in the last month.

"My brother's ability to fight is not weak, but the ability to govern the administration is not strong. To govern a place, the most important thing is government and then wealth. Now that my virtuous brother arrives, there will be no one in Changshan, and my virtuous brother will not recruit talented people from all over the world, but will instead focus on that poor family, which is really absurd!"

Wei Tao secretly laughed in his heart: It really is so!

Yes, in fact, Changshan is not really without talents, Changshan also has aristocratic families, and among these big families there are always elite children.

However, these people are unwilling to start from the bottom. If they are not the magistrate of a county and they have to protect their own family, otherwise they are not willing to become officials.

How can a man be too upside-down when he acts like a man?
Naturally, Wei Tao would not agree to such a condition, so Wei Tao just agreed with a few words to expose the matter, and instead asked the question he really wanted to ask.

"Now there are two things, and there is no need to hide any of them. The Zhen family begged me to speak on their behalf. The daughter of the Zhen family is still young. If your son has a heart, you can pay her after she is ten years old. The other thing is that my younger brother is worried. As for the matter, banditry is rampant in Jizhou now, and there is a group of people calling themselves Black Mountain bandits, I don’t know what they thought at first?”

Wei Tao originally thought that he would deal with it by himself, but Yuan Shao came at this time.
