The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 225 The Response of Youzhou
The news that Wei Tao was going to lead the army to leave soon spread throughout Youzhou.

Regarding Wei Tao's behavior, except for a very small number of loyal people who are eager, almost everyone is desperately trying to persuade him to stay.

Not only out of gratitude, but also because Wei Tao's previous opinion is too important to the whole Youzhou.

Even reckless men like Guan Hai and Zhou Cang can see the current situation. If they still want to overthrow the big man and compete for the world, then there is bound to be a battle with Wei Tao.

But how could Wei Tao, who had shown such strength in the battle with Wuhuan, be defeated by them so easily?

Even if you just think about it casually, you know it's unlikely.

Moreover, compared with the Youzhou army, which can only be stranded in this place, Wei Tao still has a lot of room for expansion, and Youzhou is not strong enough to resist it.

In this way, it is better to accept Wei Tao's conditions. Although he lost a little power, at least it can guarantee the safety of Youzhou, and even if there is another foreign invasion in the future, there will be people who can resist it.

In this way, just as Xun You expected, the Youzhou generals would try their best to keep Wei Tao back, with a small banquet every day and a big banquet every three days, in short, to keep Wei Tao from leaving so soon.

And Wei Tao seemed to be stabilized because of this, and he stopped mentioning the matter of leaving for a while, so that the people in Youzhou had more time to discuss this matter.

But when Wei Tao ordered people to spread the news that Yuan Shao was going to take back Jizhou, all the people in Youzhou understood that it was time for a result.

"General Wei's ambition is noble, and he is determined to help the big man and protect the people of the big man. The little girl admires it very much, but I dare to ask, is it true that General Wei handed over the management of Youzhou to the people of Youzhou?"

After finally inviting Wei Tao, Zhang Ning didn't hesitate at all, and said straight to the point.

"If this is the case, I, Youzhou, can put all the soldiers and generals under the general's command. Of course, Youzhou will also support the soldiers in the future, but the money and food expenditure is limited, so I'm afraid it can't be fully supplied. I don't know if the general thinks this is okay. ?”

Wei Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was even a touch of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Ning.

Originally, Wei Tao's opinion was only to lead the army and resist the aliens. Although it accounted for a lot of Youzhou's military strength, Youzhou still retained a part of the army's strength.

Moreover, Wei Tao didn't intend to accept all the generals of Youzhou as his subordinates. As for the money and food support, according to Wei Tao's idea, Jizhou will provide it.

It can be said that Zhang Ning's proposal is much better than Wei Tao's original request. Zhang Ning raised the price on his own initiative, as if he wanted to rely on himself.

"Since you have accepted and surrendered, then naturally you have to do it thoroughly, but other than that, the general can't interfere with my Youzhou, and if one day, my Youzhou becomes rich, you dare to invite the general How about handing over the territory you have taken over to me to manage?"

Perhaps seeing the surprise in Wei Tao's heart, Zhang Ning said slowly again, but in the end, it was already faintly revealing his intention of 'peaceful evolution'.

Wei Tao has been a man for two lifetimes, so he can hear it naturally, but Wei Tao just smiled lightly.

"If Youzhou has this ability, then I am naturally happy to see it succeed. Coercion against foreign races is actually just two aspects, one is suppression, and the other is self-improvement."

Wei Tao really didn't care much about this matter, but felt that Zhang Ning was extraordinary, even if it was limited to this era, he still did extraordinary things.

"If Ms. Zhang can make my big man rich and strong, then I have no reason not to do so. As long as I can keep my big man's people long-term peace and order, I can achieve my wish! If Youzhou is as rich as Jizhou, then Jizhou will naturally It should be governed by the young lady, and Bingzhou is of course the same."

Although Youzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, Jizhou is not known to be much richer than Youzhou, and Wei Tao has a big problem.

Although Zhang Ning is smart, he is a bit too ideal after all. He firmly believes in the establishment of a holy kingdom of peace where everyone is equal, has land to farm, clothes to wear, and food to eat.

Although it cannot be used in the name of the Holy Kingdom of Peace, if it is governed in this way, it will certainly be possible to make Youzhou rich.

So in Zhang Ning's mind, as long as Wei Tao agrees to this matter, even if he has no military power in the future, his ideal can be achieved.

After hearing that Wei Tao agreed, Zhang Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But it is a pity that it is not so easy to bring Youzhou into Wei Tao's control. Although Zhang Ning's status is high, his status is embarrassing, and if he wants to convince the people of Youzhou, it is either a word or two. set.

So after a sigh of relief, Zhang Ning said slowly again.

"General Wei, everyone in Youzhou knows about Gaoyi, and the general has the kindness to rescue us in Youzhou, so this time, I, Youzhou, is willing to be under the general's command, but the general also knows that such things are not unusual, so If the general really wants to bring our Youzhou under his control, there is one more thing to do."

"What's the matter?"

Wei Tao also knew that things were not easy, so he didn't mind too much when he heard what Zhang Ning said, and just said it slowly.

"As long as it doesn't violate my personal principles and the righteousness of the people, and I can do it. So what if I agree?"

"Okay, this matter is not difficult at all. The general is brave. We all know about this battle in Youzhou, but I don't know how brave the general is. So, please give me your opinion? I will choose from Youzhou. Out of nine generals, if the general can be defeated by one person, then the general's bravery can be described as unparalleled. I am afraid that only Lu Fengxian can defeat the enemy one by one. At that time, he will naturally protect our Youzhou safety. If you want to come to Youzhou again No one dares to think that the general is not qualified for this."

Zhang Ning's wonderful eyes flashed, and then he said slowly.

"These nine people are the most brave nine people in Youzhou, and there will be no water in the middle. If the general is careless, he may even be injured. Therefore, the general asks you to think more about it. If the general is not willing to do so, then I Youzhou is also willing to join forces with the general, and from now on, I, Youzhou, will never violate the territory of Jizhou lightly, and I am willing to serve as the northern barrier for the general."

One against nine?

Or the nine most brave fighters in the Youzhou Army?

Even Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that You Zhou would have such a problem, it all depends on his strength, and there is no chance of taking advantage of it.

"Okay, since that's the case, let me see how the heroes of Youzhou are capable."

But Wei Tao just bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded seriously, accepting this battle.

"This is how the ownership of Youzhou is determined!"
