Lu Dynasty

Chapter 545 Guan Hai Reappears
Don't look at Cao Hong's blah, no big or small, but as long as it involves military discipline and military laws, he must fully abide by them.Cao Hong knew that Cao attached great importance to military discipline and law.When Cao Hong heard Cao's question, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The general will be convicted!"

"En! Since you didn't fight Zhang Yan at the gate of the barracks, I won't pursue it this time! If you do it again next time, you know the consequences!" Cao was very satisfied with Cao Hong's attitude of pleading guilty. He didn't want to blame Cao Hong severely. During the important period of fighting with me, Cao would not be so stupid as to harm himself as a general for such a trivial matter.

Cao Hong was relieved to see that Cao no longer pursued the matter, but he still didn't understand why Cao valued Zhang Yan so much.This is the gap between generals and counselors.No matter how smart a general is, his eyesight is hard to match that of a counselor, not to mention that Cao Hong has no brains at all.There are many generals among the Cao brothers, but Cao Ren should be the only one in Cao's generation!
The war in Si Bingliang has been stalemate like this, as long as they can't attack Si Li, I can afford to delay it no matter what.Zhang Yan's betrayal caused Yuan Shaojun's morale to plummet, and the robbery of Huchuquan and Qiu Liju made Yuan Shao's already insufficient food even scarcer.Yuan Shao is now wishing for food to fall from the sky, but food is not something that can be said to be available.Because of the shortage of food in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to happen again!

Hu Chuquan and Qiu Liju's behavior in Jizhou became more and more rampant, Yuan Shao seemed like a red-eyed gambler, completely putting all his eggs in one basket.He risked his family and life just to defeat me, and only by defeating me can Yuan Shao survive!But am I that easy to defeat?Slowly, people from Jizhou and Youzhou also began to flock to Sili.Now, I finally feel the pressure.There are too many people, and the land is a little tight.As for the small half of Qingzhou originally occupied by Yuan Shao, the whole territory has defected to Cao.

Speaking of defecting to Cao throughout Qingzhou, it is Zhang Yan's credit.Originally, after I took away the population and yellow scarves of Qingzhou, Qingzhou almost became a wilderness, and Cao and Yuan Shao didn't care much about the land without population.However, Cao Yuanshao had a conscience, and he still arranged many people to settle in the area close to Yanxu. Most of these people were disabled soldiers and veterans. If Yuan Shao invaded, these people would be enough for Yuan Shao to eat.

Since Qingzhou has become a wilderness, there should be many bandits.The fact is also the same, at the boundary between Yuan Shao and Cao, a group of very large and powerful bandits appeared.Everyone knows the leader of this gang of bandits, he was Guan Hai who Wei Yan failed to kill when Liu Bei rescued Bei Hai!To be honest, Guan Hai didn't like Cao.However, foreigners were rampant in Jizhou, and a small group of troops inevitably entered Qingzhou after getting lost.Aliens will always be aliens, they will only plunder and destroy.Guan Hai is also a well-known man, how could he allow foreigners to run rampant?So Guan Hai resumed his old job, and led his former subordinates to do the job of protecting the territory and keeping the people safe.

In the past, Guan Hai robbed the common people and the government. The common people were already poor, but the government had some ability, so Guan Hai couldn't even snatch it.But the foreigners are different. Although they don't have any good things, they have horses and swords!Moreover, the horses of the foreign cavalry are very good, even if they are not high-grade war horses, they are still medium-sized war horses.Use horses to exchange food with Cao and Sun Ce, even if it is less, it will be enough for Guan Hai and his Yellow Turban thieves.After a long time, the news of Guan Hai Huimin spread in Qingzhou.Gradually, more than 20 people gathered under Guan Hai's command.When there are more people, the demand for food will increase. Just relying on the food obtained from looting foreigners can feed 10,000 people. If you want to use it to feed [-]+ people, it is really a fantasy!At this time, the news that Zhang Yan from Heishan had defected to Cao reached Qingzhou, and Guan Hai immediately wanted to find a lord to defect to.

Like Zhang Yan, Guan Hai is also a remnant of the Yellow Turban.Now among the princes in the world, basically all rely on the merits of the battle against the Yellow Turban to have their current status.There is no such thing as Guan Hai hating anyone or not hating anyone.He has the same idea as all the Yellow Turbans in the world, there are only three words: live!However, Guan Hai has fewer choices than Zhang Yan, he can only choose Cao or Yuan Shao.If you want to defect to me, unless Guan Hai can contact Gan Ning, then come to Sili by boat from Beihai.Guan Hai didn't even need to think about the other princes.Even Jiangdong and I don't have large ships for sailing, so it is obviously impossible to go to other princes by water.If Guan Hai wanted to go to other princes through the territories of Yuan Shao and Cao, wouldn't it be a daydream more bizarre than the Arabian Nights?As for Yuan Shao, Guan Hai would definitely not join him.

As a Han Chinese, what I hate the most is foreigners, not to mention the bloody Guan Hai?Besides, if Yuan Shao hadn't suppressed those who rebelled against foreigners, Guan Hai could go to Jizhou to hang out, after all, horses can be exchanged for food!With Guan Hai's martial arts skills, it is very difficult for foreigners to do anything to him, but Yuan Shao has Yan Liang and Wen Chou!Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Hebei's Four Court Columns are well-known fierce generals in Jizhou. As a native of Beihai, Guan Hai knows them very well.Guan Hai knew that he was no match for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which was why Guan Hai didn't fish in troubled waters when Jizhou was in such a mess.In fact, Lao Cao also failed quite a bit. Qingzhou is obviously his territory, and there are a large number of yellow scarves occupying it, but he doesn't even know it.Guan Hai knew that Zhang Yan had defected to Cao. Although he didn't know Zhang Yan and had no friendship with Zhang Yan, he still wanted to give it a try.He hoped that through Zhang Yan, Cao could take in his yellow scarves, so Guan Hai secretly sent an envoy to meet Zhang Yan, hoping that Zhang Yan could speak out for him in front of Cao.

Zhang Yan was in Yanzhou to rectify the troops, and Guan Hai's envoy found him.Zhang Yan was shocked when he heard that Qingzhou still had a large number of Yellow Turbans. He didn't expect the Yellow Turbans to be so resistant.However, this is not to blame Zhang Yan.Historically, the Three Kingdoms have returned to Jin, and the Yellow Turban Thieves still exist.It is really admirable that the yellow turban thief can survive under such harsh conditions.

To be honest, Zhang Yan really wanted to take in Guan Hai's Yellow Turbans.The experience of being a yellow scarf once let Zhang Yan know what kind of suffering it is.If he could make the decision, he would definitely keep these yellow scarves directly!It's a pity that Zhang Yan is already under Cao's command. He didn't dare to specialize, so he hurriedly informed Cao about this matter. Cao didn't expect that there were 10,000+ yellow scarves in the empty Qingzhou!You know, the yellow scarves are the people, and the people are the troops, money and food!
