The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53
After talking for a while, Wei Tao finally understood that the reason why Cao Ren and others led people to attack the Yellow Turban barracks was to prepare their own people to move into Chenliu County.

Qiao County is a large county, and the Cao family is a powerful family, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to protect themselves under the attack of countless Yellow Turbans.

What's more, what the aristocratic and wealthy families are best at is the method of splitting plum blossoms to disperse their family business.

This is especially true in the future when the princes compete for hegemony. At the same time, members of the same family serve different monarchs, and they are all loyal.

The same is true for the Cao family now. Although Qiao County needs to be protected, it is also prepared to store part of the industrial materials in Chenliu. If there is a change, it can also rise again.

"So that's the case. But it's also thanks to a few big brothers."

After Wei Tao understood the cause and effect, he just smiled and then withdrew his smile and said seriously.

"However, thanks to the timely arrival of the brothers, otherwise, although I would have been able to defeat the bandit army this time, I would not have been able to kill them, and there would not have been such a result."

Although the Yellow Turban camp outside the city is still there, it was first raided into the camp and then burned, and its leader Zhao Jie died. Although he did not go to investigate, I am afraid that there are already seven or eight out of ten of the Yellow Turbans in the camp. have fled.

For the time being, Chen Liu has no worries.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army is not stupid. The entire Yanzhou is so big that Chen Liu is difficult to grasp. Naturally, the Yellow Turban Army will put its general power above other cities, and will not continue to attack Chen Liu.

"Now that Chen Liu is at peace, I don't know what you guys want to do? Before I left Luoyang, I saw that the court wanted to send Brother Meng De to lead the army. Everyone knows how strong Brother Meng De is. At this moment, it is natural On the day of our meritorious deeds, how about brothers and sisters going with me?"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, the eyes of Cao Ren and the others flickered a little, but they hesitated more, but in the end they all shook their heads together.

Wei Tao was not very surprised to see them like this.

Even according to history, when Cao Ren and the other four went to help Cao Cao, it was time to attack Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Cao Cao first issued an edict, and then got the support of various prefects, governors, etc., coupled with his previous performance in the Yellow Turban, and the prestige he gained from assassinating Dong Zhuo, he was known to the heroes of the world.

Although Cao Cao is well-known today, and Cao Ren and others are aware of his talent, they are still not sure how far he will go in the future.

Not to mention the princes in the future, even if Cao Cao has always dreamed of conquering the west, in the eyes of Cao Ren and others, it is mostly just Cao Cao's ego.

When it comes to going to defect to help Cao Cao, even Cao Ren and others don't want to think so.

"Since this is the case, I also know the abilities of the elder brothers. I am afraid that after leaving, it will be difficult for the county magistrate of Chenliu to resist Huang Jinrui, but I hope that the elder brothers can be the guards of the city and guard Chen Liu. "

Wei Tao paused slightly when he said this, but he saw the disapproval on the faces of Cao Ren and others.

In fact, the power of the real aristocratic family is not limited to this point. Even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion has affected the entire Han Dynasty, the foundation of the real aristocratic family has not been damaged at all.

What's more, the Yellow Turban uprising is even more hasty now?
Perhaps when it comes to major events and strategies, these four people can't talk about anything, but when it comes to military affairs, they can all see that the Yellow Turbans are not strong enough.

Considering that the Cao family would also have property to stay in Chenliu County, Cao Ren and Cao Hong finally agreed.

As for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan's life lawsuit, although no one will mention it, they are obviously unwilling to show up at this time.

What's more, the Cao family in Qiao County also needs someone to guard them.

"My lord, now that Chen Liu is safe and there are big families to help, I think the mere yellow scarf is nothing to worry about."

Facing Huang Wen, Wei Tao naturally had a very good manner. As for the matter of Cao Ren and Cao Hong, he could already be recognized as brave men just by looking at their appearance. In addition, the Cao family was also well-known in Chenliu, so they were naturally recognized by Huang Wen. .

"I once made an appointment with a friend. If he sends troops to destroy the Yellow Turban Dao, I will go to help. Now my home is safe, so I am going to go, and I ask you to allow it."

Wei Tao's face was as gentle as jade, as if he was asking for Huang Wen's opinion, but Huang Wen understood that he was not asking for advice, but just telling himself.

What's more, Wei Tao helped him, and now Chen Liu still had to rely on the help of the Wei family, so Huang Wen naturally didn't want to stay, but Wen Yan said.

"Since it's all about eradicating the Yellow Turban bandits, then I should do my best. Those soldiers and armors can be regarded as my support for you. I hope you can live well and serve the court."

Hearing Huang Wen's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly.

Even if Huang Wen didn't say so, Wei Tao would find a way to keep the armor in his hands, but it would be more justifiable with this statement.

Moreover, Huang Wen also subsidized Wei Tao with a batch of food and grass, which was really done.

Because of Wei Tao's intentional attention, in the previous battle with the Yellow Turban, although Wei Tao's own [-] people in his headquarters were also injured, no one was killed.

So this time Wei Tao can still set off with a hundred people.

I have to say that the Yellow Turban Uprising launched by Zhang Jiao really shook the foundation of the great man.

Along the way, all bandits and road bandits have turned into yellow turban bandits, and some ordinary people even joined them because of this.

Wei Tao's hundreds of people are all cavalry.

But in the Central Plains, the price of even ordinary horses remained high, not to mention that all of Wei Tao's hundreds of people were riding high-quality war horses.

Normally, even bandits wouldn't dare to disagree with a hundred-man cavalry team, but now that the Yellow Turbans are in full swing, those bandits who are already daring are even more lawless, and they really dare to attack Wei Tao directly Centuries.

But not to mention Wei Tao's own abilities, just relying on the sharpness of the horse and the sword, it is not something that ordinary soldiers who have not been trained can resist.

Along the way, hundreds of people named Huangjin, who were actually bandits, were killed or injured by Wei Tao's knife.

When Wei Tao arrived in Luoyang again, Cao Cao had been officially appointed as Xiaoqi school captain, and he was allowed to recruit [-] troops on his own to destroy the Yellow Turbans.

Hearing this news, Wei Tao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But Wei Tao soon understood that maybe this was the reason why he and Cao Cao had won the position of general. He Jin at this time trusted Cao Cao more than in history.

Yes, because of beheading Ma Yuanyi and exposing the conspiracy of the Yellow Turban in Luoyang, He Jin has already been made a general and a supreme minister.

As for Wei Tao, that's all, but Cao Cao, who has always been helping and relying on He Jin, has gained He Jin's trust even more.

In He Jin's view, if Cao Cao hadn't introduced Wei Tao to him first, then this great contribution might have been taken away by those scholar-bureaucrats.

So now I trust Cao Cao even more, and this time Cao Cao got his recommendation.

"A butterfly flapping its wings lightly may cause a storm in the distant ocean. It turns out that history has quietly changed."

Watching history changing bit by bit, Wei Tao couldn't tell what it was like.

In the original history, Cao Cao was nothing more than a riding captain. Although he led 5000 horse infantry, he did not recruit troops by himself.

Now not only has his official position been promoted, but the number of leaders has doubled. More importantly, after obtaining the right to recruit troops on his own, Cao Cao can gain a firm foothold in the army and have his own foundation.

This was originally after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han formed the eighth captain of Xiyuan, and let Cao Cao be the captain of the Dianjun, which was the opportunity to form his own team.

But even at that time, there were still various constraints, and Cao Cao could not really build a large team. It was not until the Dong Zhuo Rebellion that he was able to gradually develop.

But now it's different.

When Wei Tao came to the outskirts of Luoyang to temporarily set up a military camp, Wei Tao found that Cao Cao had already recruited thousands of soldiers for training.

"Ziyu, you're here."

Cao Cao's temperament is indeed somewhat suspicious, but for Wei Tao, this vigilance is constantly weakening.

"Although Yanzhou is also in trouble with the Yellow Turban, Chen Liu is safe and sound. Whether it is the Wei family or the Cao family, as long as they are in Chenliu City, they will be safe. Zi Lian and Zi Xiao have already promised to guard Chen Liu. Bandit, it is impossible to be the opponent of the two elder brothers."

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Cao Cao also heaved a long sigh of relief.

Cao Cao is also a human being, and he also cares about his family. Now that he heard that his family is safe, he is naturally relieved.

"With Zi Xiao and Zi Lian around, it should be safe and worry-free."

After all, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, this kind of exclamation was only for a moment, and then his face suddenly became serious, and he said seriously.

"Now the general has issued an order ordering me to go to Jizhou to destroy Zhang Jiao as soon as possible. What do you think?"

This is Cao Cao asking about strategy, Wei Tao had to answer carefully, after a while of contemplation, Wei Tao spoke slowly.

"Jizhou is the foundation of the Yellow Turban. It is very important. If it can be defeated in one fell swoop, it will be a success. And the leader of the bandit is trapped on the ground, and it is difficult to get rid of it. Naturally, this method is not bad."

Speaking of this, Wei Tao's words paused slightly, and then he smiled again.

"However, the Yellow Turban is so powerful that it is very difficult to eliminate it in one fell swoop with the power of today's big man. It should be divided and wiped out. Now the big man has a general to prepare, and all regions can defend themselves. At the same time, there are Zhonglang generals Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song. Divide and attack them with General Zhu Jun in order to attack their weaknesses, divide and annihilate them."

"Yes, that's right."

Cao Cao just nodded, but there was already a smile on his face.

"The yellow turban bandits did not cause this disaster for a while, so I thought it was time to cut off the banditry in Jizhou, and then besieged from all sides. As long as the bandit leader can be wiped out, the rest will not be able to cause trouble. Please ask the states and counties to eliminate it by themselves."

Hearing this, Wei Tao understood somewhat. Perhaps the reason why He Jin made such a correct performance was also Cao Cao's suggestion.

At that moment, Wei Tao smiled slightly, but told the plan in his heart one by one.

"What Brother Meng De said is true. Now I heard that General Huangfusong and Zhu Jun are both fighting in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is located close to Luoyang. If you don't destroy it first and let it invade Luoyang, then things will be terrible. "
