Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 320

The troops led by Feng Yao reached 300, [-] of which were recruited from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebel Army, and some were surrendered troops!Moreover, the number of war horses has reached more than [-]. Excluding the senior generals and their entourages, the number of tiger guards has soared to [-], a total of six songs, and Feng Yao's entourage of iron cavalry has not changed much. , or three songs, more than [-] people.

Lu Fan's troops increased from [-] to [-], and Zang Ba increased even more, from less than [-] to [-]!This is mainly because Zang Ba is the governor of Qingzhou in name after all, and there are many Yellow Turban rebels and Cao Cao deserters who are willing to stay in their hometown, so a large number of people choose to serve Zang Ba, although in Feng Yao's view, they are all There is not much difference between your own soldiers!

On the third day of Daqing, Feng Yao did not lead the army to stay in Gaotang, but retreated towards Dongping Mausoleum, the seat of the Jinan Kingdom. It was only a distance of more than 100 li, and it could be reached in one day.

After the local tyrants in Gaotang, Luoyin, Licheng and other counties learned about it, they each sent a large amount of supplies to congratulate Feng Yao to show their friendship. Go to Feng Yao's army and send it to Feng Yao!
What made Feng Yao dumbfounded was that the local tyrants in Qingzhou seemed to recognize Feng Yao's hobbies. Everyone who gave gifts sent a large number of beautiful female slaves. The least one also gathered ten beautiful female slaves. There are hundreds of them!
For these gifts, Feng Yao refused all of them! !
Money, food, beauties, although Feng Yao now has only one Yuzhou in name, but Henan, Yanqing, Xuyang, these five states all belong to Feng Yao, will they be lacking? ?
For those who came to give gifts with a cheeky face, unless they were useful talents, it would be difficult to see Feng Yao.

However, some people did not give up at this point, but let ox carts, horse carts, donkey carts, etc. closely follow Feng Yao's army, forming a very spectacular long queue, intending to follow all the way to Dongping Mausoleum.

During the rest of the march, Xu Chu said worriedly: "My lord! Do you want to go down and drive them away! If they follow behind like this, if it spreads to the court, I'm afraid it will cause criticism!"

"As long as it doesn't affect our march, let them go, lest the people of Qingzhou mistakenly think that we are cruel because of this matter! And the court is already too busy to take care of itself! Meng Gongwei has sent news that Li Jue and Guo Si have started to exchange ideas. Attacked, I expect the emperor will escape from Chang'an soon! Knowing this will be even more beneficial to us!" Feng Yao said with a smile.

"No way?" Xu Chu couldn't understand and exclaimed.

Yang Wu was also curious and asked, "Master, why do you say that?"

"Hehe! It seems that you all want to know, well, sit closer and let me explain to you, but you just need to know, don't spread it!" Feng Yao pulled Dai Ling over, and the three of them sat down. Together.

"The world is about to undergo a great change!! Chang'an will soon be destroyed by war. If the emperor escapes from Chang'an and escapes from the control of Li Jue and Guo Si, he will definitely flee east and at the same time issue an edict to let the princes of the Guandong go to King Qin, according to the current situation, there are four most suitable options, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou are all adjacent to Silizhou."

"According to my estimation, the first thing that the emperor thinks of is Liu Biao's Jingzhou, Yuan Shao's Jizhou next, my father-in-law's Yanzhou next, and my Yuzhou last."

Yang Wu, Xu Chu, and Dai Ling all showed shocking gazes. They obviously couldn't imagine that what Feng Yao predicted would happen, but everyone believed Feng Yao's words. So far, almost all Feng Yao's predictions were true.

Feng Yao was already accustomed to the expressions on everyone's faces, he smiled slightly, and said, "The situation now is very different from last year, we don't need to bear it anymore, and this time Meng Gongwei entered Chang'an to ask for my life. There has been no result, and I think it has been proved that the government orders in the court and the central government have not been implemented, and it has reached a very chaotic state! If we can show our strength at this time, Meng Gongwei can persuade the officials in the court and the central government more easily. Fall to my side"

"If we can welcome the emperor to our territory, then we won't have to ask others anymore. What kind of official position we want depends on our wishes!"

Xu Chu and the others were shocked, but they soon understood and became worried again. Xu Chu whispered, "My lord, if we welcome the emperor, then you, my lord...?"

"Zhongkang, in fact, if the emperor is in our hands, it will be more beneficial. At least the enemy will not be charged with treason, and we can use the name of the emperor to order the world. Whoever dares not obey, we just have In the name of conquest, but if the enemy wants to attack us, it is committing rebellion! After the unification of the world, shouldn't it be up to us to decide!" Feng Yao's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Now sitting in the land of five states, it is very easy to cause siege by other princes, and it will be restricted by the court. I am afraid that Feng Yao will grow stronger, and Feng Yao must have a formal name if he wants to manage these states reasonably. !Otherwise, the group of generals who have made great contributions will not be able to be appointed because of the influence of their official positions and titles, which is not conducive to the development of the army.

If he declares himself emperor now, he will be attacked by the whole world!
The best way is to welcome the emperor into his hands and set up a puppet emperor first!When the world is basically unified, the emperor can easily become the emperor if he abolishes the emperor!

"My lord is wise!!" The three generals who understood the truth immediately bowed their hands in admiration.

Shortly thereafter, Feng Yao led an army of tens of thousands back to Dongping Mausoleum, and the sky had just turned dark.

Gaotang and other places have all been controlled by Zang Ba's army. If Cao Cao and Yuan Tan want to cross the river and fight back, even if Zang Ba loses, he can at least stick to Feng Yao's rescue, so there is no need to worry too much.

After receiving Feng Yao's order, Lu Fan did not return to Xuzhou immediately, but stayed near Linyi, temporarily helping to deal with the floods caused by the breach of the Yellow River, and helping those victims who were helpless and rioting due to the floods. This will have to wait until Zang Ba's army completely takes over Qingzhou.

This time, due to the breach of the Yellow River, Dong'e was flooded first, and then Linyi and Chiping counties were also buried by floods. Fortunately, the water level of the Yellow River was not very high. The Yellow River flows out in parallel, and it has not flooded again!
Lu Bu's army in Yanzhou has been dealing with floods and helping the people in the Liangshan area of ​​Dongping Kingdom, and has gained a very high reputation.

Regarding the specific matters of the flood, I don't need Feng Yao to take care of it. However, in order to support his father-in-law in Yanzhou, Feng Yao left only 40 shi of the money and food he got from Cao Cao as military rations, and the remaining [-] shi of food and one billion yuan. , Feng Yao divided it into two halves, one half was reserved for Lu Fan who helped rescue the victims in Linyi, and the other half was ordered to be transported to Lu Bu in Dongping Kingdom.

Outside the city of Dongping Mausoleum, those rejected local tyrants with their own minds gathered outside the city gate, because there were too many horses and carriages, Feng Yao did not allow these tyrants to enter the city!
A very small number of tyrants sighed and had no choice but to return the same way with their chariots and horses. The other tyrants actually got to know each other and became familiar with each other because of this matter. After discussing together, they elected three highly prestigious tyrants to lead , and jointly wrote a greeting post, and asked the three of them to bring them into the city to meet Feng Yao.
