Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 136 Zhang De Goes to Danger
After returning from Luoyang, Zhang De can be said to be proud of himself.The main reason is that Zhang De is rich.

However, the money under Zhang De's hands can only be used directly with real gold and silver, such as jewelry and jade, etc., you have to find a buyer to exchange it for money. This is not in a hurry, and the real gold brought back this time There is also a lot of silver, enough for Zhang De to spend a long time, so Zhang De began to plan the next round of recruitment.

Now there are 5000 Qingzhou soldiers, 4 Beihai soldiers, and 4 cavalry.There are another [-] old and weak women and children living in the fields in northern Langya and Beihai, so there is no need to count them.Excluding the defense force, Zhang De has about [-] soldiers who are really available, and these [-] people are well-equipped and well-trained, especially Zang Ba's [-] Qingzhou soldiers, all of whom are dozens of selected One of the elite, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

However, Zhang De knew that after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the vassals began to attack each other and began a vigorous campaign to grab territory. It is always beneficial to have more soldiers in hand, and Zhang De now has money to arm recruits.

Regarding future development goals, Zhang De had already discussed with Chen Gong.First of all, Zhang De wants to occupy the remaining territory of Qingzhou, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River to guard against Jizhou, and then he will use Langya as a springboard to attack Xuzhou.Although Xuzhou is a plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but Xuzhou is a major food producing area, and Xuzhou is not like Yanzhou. Xuzhou has few big warlords except Tao Qian. As for Tao Qian, he is very old and will not live for a few years. .So plotting Xuzhou is the easiest.

If you want to complete this series of actions, of course you need a large number of soldiers, so Zhang De began to prepare for recruiting new soldiers.

However, Zhang De also knew that if his strength expanded too quickly, it would easily attract the attention and precautions of the surrounding princes, and there might be several princes coming to attack him at that time, so Zhang De used the most common method used by the Eighth Route Army back then. There is a Ming Xiu plank road, and Chen Cang is dark.

Zhang De declared that Beihai would recruit 3 troops, but in fact, it recruited [-].At that time, the recruits will be sent to Langya County in batches, hidden in Yimeng Mountain for training, and they will surely be able to hide it from the princes.

……

In September of the first year of Chuping, a bad news finally reached Zhang De's ears. Jiao He, governor of Qingzhou, returned to Linzi.

Jiao He's arrival directly broke Zhang De's strategic plan.Although Jiao He was released by Dong Zhuo, after all, Jiao He was the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Emperor Ling at that time, which is justified.When Jiao He was in Qingzhou before, Jiao He did not dare to offend Zhang De because Zhang Rang was in power, but now it is different. It will determine the situation in Qingzhou in the future.

Zhang De immediately ordered people to prepare for the battle. Once Jiao He made a move that was not conducive to Zhang De, Zhang De could only fight with force.But what Zhang De didn't expect was that he sent someone here.

A visitor sent a letter, Zhang De opened the letter, and saw that the contents of the letter were nothing more than polite words, and there was some intention of showing goodwill, which surprised Zhang De very much.

But then Zhang De thought about it. Jiao He, regardless of his political achievements, was when the Yellow Turbans were rioting. Jiao He had tens of thousands of troops, but he stayed in the city all day long, not daring to go out to fight the Yellow Turbans. The army is rampant in Qingzhou.This Jiao He is really a cowardly person.

But Zhang De didn't know that the big net arranged by Li Ru was invisibly stretching out towards him.

For the next month, Jiao He and Zhang De got along peacefully, Zhang De was happy to be at ease, and gradually relaxed his vigilance on Jiao He and Zhang De.And this month is also the busiest season for harvesting. Zhang De's subordinates Chen Gong, Wang Xiu and others have all gone to various places to direct and inspect the autumn harvest. Huang Zhong, Guan Hai and others who were not very familiar with internal affairs were all sent out. It can be said that as long as Zhang De's men can farm, they all went out.After all, the autumn harvest is related to the people's food for the winter, so Zhang De has to pay attention to it.

In October of the first year of Chuping, Chen Gong and others have not returned yet.But Zhang De received another letter from Jiao He.The content of the letter was that Jiao He was going to celebrate his birthday, so he invited officials from Qingzhou and heads of big families to Linzi for a banquet.Zhang De didn't think too much about it, it's human nature to treat guests on a birthday.Besides, Jiao He is the governor of Qingzhou after all, so he had better go and see for himself, otherwise Zhang De would appear to be too impolite and unreasonable.

So Zhang De ordered people to prepare gifts, took two hundred soldiers, and went to Linzi.It stands to reason that Zhang De is the lord, and he should bring a younger brother to the banquet. For example, when Liu Bei leaped across Tanxi, he brought his younger brother Zhao Yun with him when he went to Jingzhou.But now Zhang De's men have all gone out, and the remaining Tai Shici and Wu Anguo are going to guard the Beihai base camp, while Zang Ba and others are training soldiers in the mountains of Langya County.Therefore, Zhang De had to go to Linzi by himself.

Linzi City is an ancient city with a long history. When the Zhou Dynasty was established, Jiang Ziya was granted the title of Qi State. The capital of Qi State at that time was named Yingqiu. Later, because Yingqiu was close to Zishui River, it was renamed Linzi.Next, until the demise of Qi State, Linzi was the capital of Qi State for hundreds of years!Although after the Qin and Han dynasties, Linzi City still stands, and it is still the seat of Qi State County.

Zhang De had never been to Linzi City. Although Linzi was still the seat of Qingzhou at this time, it was not as prosperous as Beihai City. After all, Beihai City had sea salt trade.However, Qingzhou Governor's Mansion was easy to find, and the city guards had already received news from Jiao He that the person who came was Beihai Governor Zhang De, so he hurriedly led the way to the Governor's Mansion himself.

At this time, the Governor's Mansion was full of lights and festoons, full of guests, and there was an endless stream of people who came to celebrate Jiao He's birthday.But Jiao He, the master, did not appear at this time.In fact, everyone can also understand that Jiao He is the governor of a state. Although Jiao He has sent many invitations and invited many people in Qingzhou, there are only a few people who deserve to be greeted by Jiao He at the door. It's just a person, more often the butler greets them on their behalf.And Zhang De is definitely one of the people Jiao He should greet in person.

When Zhang De entered the city, Jiao He also got the news. For a moment, not knowing whether it was excitement or nervousness, Jiao He couldn't help shaking.Finally, after coming here for a long time, Jiao He calmed down, and said in his heart, this Zhang De finally came, and Li Ru's plan for himself will also succeed!Jiao He waved his big hand, rushed to the people and said, "Go, wait for me to meet Zhang Beihai in person!"

--------------------------

Regarding Liu Bei's son, many friends have a misunderstanding.In history, Liu Bei was nearly fifty years old when he had a son, so in the post-Three Kingdoms era, Liu Chan was only middle-aged.But Liu Bei is only standing now in the book of greedy insects. When Liu Chan grows up to 20 years old, Zhang De is only 40 years old, which is the prime of life, and at that time Zhuge Da and Sima Da are about 20 years old.In fact, looking at history, it takes decades or hundreds of years for any dynasty to change.The unification of China in three to five years and the global unification in more than ten years were impossible according to the technology at that time.Therefore, the decisive battle will come in 25 to [-] years from the Gluttonous Project!
In addition, I don't have any ideas about Zhuge's glutton, and I haven't figured out who he should be with for the time being. If anyone has a good idea, he can give the glutton some ideas!
