The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 115 Interest is the Eternal Theme of War

Cheng Yuanzhi quickly recovered from the emotion of failing to recruit Zhao Yun.

After occupying most of Jizhou, there are more things waiting for him.

Jizhou prison.

There are two people imprisoned here - Geng Wu and Min Chun who are completely desperate for Han Fu.

Information was cut off in the prison, and they didn't know that Han Fu was dead, and they were still immersed in great disappointment with Han Fu.

Moaning and moaning all day.

After Jizhou changed hands, most of Han Fu's subordinates took refuge in the new master, and even the diehards Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan also changed their tune.

Geng Wu and Min Chun are proud of themselves, and they still refuse to surrender.

But this pride is almost worn out.

Both of them are literati, what can they do in this situation?
You can't sacrifice your life for loyalty.

Everyone came out to make a living, and there was a large family to support their families, so it was enough to show an attitude when the state and county changed hands. Could it be that they really took their lives to prove their loyalty?

Besides, the protagonist Han Fu has surrendered, and it is meaningless for them to persist.

Previously, after Cheng Yuanzhi entered Yecheng, he gathered a large number of civil servants and advisers. Seeing that Geng Wu and Min Chun refused to take refuge and wanted to die, he ordered them to be imprisoned.

Let them calm down.

Then he was busy fighting Gongsun Zan.

At this time, everything is over, so I come to the prison to meet Geng Wu and Min Chun for a while.

The two of them were Shi and Biejia, governors of Hebei Province. They were both capable and loyal people. It would be a pity to kill them.

……

Cheng Yuanzhi put on the posture of a courteous corporal, and as soon as he entered the cell, he bowed to Geng Wu and Min Chun, calling him Mr.

The two were immediately surprised.

According to the current situation in Jizhou where there are many warriors and counselors like rain, Cheng Yuanzhi actually doesn't need them both.

To put it bluntly, there are too many talented people in Jizhou who are better than the two of them. There are not many more talents than the two of them, and there are not many talents less than the two of them.

There is absolutely no need for the other party to be so polite!
Feeling deeply in their hearts, the two looked at each other and were silent.

Cheng Yuanzhi said eloquently: "Nowadays the world is in great turmoil, just when two sages are needed to come out to help the country and benefit the people, why bother to dwell on the past?
"People always have to look forward."

"As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree, and a virtuous minister chooses a leader! Jizhou has a rich people and a rich country, isn't it worth the two of you to show what you have learned?"

Geng Wu and Min Chun had actually turned the corner in their hearts, but they still couldn't let go of their face—they talked too much at the beginning.

The latter pondered: "If the two of us don't surrender, what will happen?"

Will it kill us both?
Cheng Yuanzhi chuckled: "Although I am eager to seek talents, if the two of you really don't want to work for Hebei, then there is only..."

Geng Wu hurriedly asked: "How?"

When Cheng Yuanzhi first entered Yecheng, they were determined not to surrender, and even uttered wild words, "Please behead my head quickly."

Those passionate words are still ringing in my ears.

After calming down and thinking about it, both of them somewhat regretted filling that cup.

People do not have the courage to face death every time.

Cheng Yuanzhi made an invitation gesture, and said to the two: "Please, both of you!"

After all, he walked out first, and the prison door opened wide.

Geng Wu and Min Chun chased after him, and the former asked, "Are you going to kill me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi kept walking, smiling without saying a word.

When he came out of the prison, he turned around and said to the two of them, "The sky is high and the earth is wide, you two should cherish yourself."

Is this going to let us go?
Geng Wu and Min Chun looked at each other again to confirm that Cheng Yuanzhi had no intention of killing them.

Immediately moved...

The two looked at each other again, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "If you don't give up, Chun (Wu) is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"

"Please get up, both of you!"

……

The news that "Yuan She" easily annexed most of Jizhou and formed an alliance with Yuan Shu is still fermenting within the scope of Dahan.

In fact, at the beginning, all the princes thought they heard it wrong, and it was Yuan Shao who occupied Hebei, not Yuan She.

Yuan Shao is the leader of the League of Disputes!

Yuan Shao was so famous that no one could compete with him for Jizhou, and neither could Han Fu.

But who would have thought that the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole following behind would end up taking advantage of "Yuan She"!
This empty-glove white wolf-the method of picking up leaks, compared to Liu Xiu's back then, is not much better.

Liu Xiu started from Hanoi back then, and after annexing the two big states of Jizhou and Youzhou, his power increased greatly, and then he seized the world, and has been prosperous for 200 years.

All the princes felt that this guy "Yuan She" must have carefully figured out the history of Emperor Guangwu's family history.

Otherwise, why did the world occupy Hanoi as soon as there was chaos?

The kid is fast enough!
The most important thing is that at the beginning, everyone didn't think that "Yuan She" would have the ambitions of Yuan Shao.

The former often dressed up as a literati, relying on his identity as Yuan Kui's adopted son, he ransacked the air in Luoyang City and offended the scholars over and over again.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was winning people's hearts!Yuan Shu was also saving money and food with great fanfare, and both of them seemed to be doing great things.

In contrast, who would have thought that Yuan She was the most ruthless of the three?

But now the overall situation has been decided, and the two Yuans have formed an alliance.

Many ambitious princes have adjusted their foreign strategies one after another, either seeking alliances or developing silently.

As we entered the year 191, the world suddenly calmed down in a rare moment.

The princes no longer fight and compete.They are just guarding against each other and carefully developing their own strength.

This is the situation that the Chang'an court is willing to see.

Now that the world is peaceful, the imperial court will take action.

Wang Yun's beauty trick has been activated, will the alienation trick be far behind?

Dong Zhuo was ignorant of the impending danger.

Because he has been staring nervously at the princes of the Kanto, for fear that these stunned youths will attack him again against the alliance.

Last time, the princes of the Nineteenth Route attacked him alone. He was calm on the surface, but he was actually terrified in his heart.

Nineteen beat one, no martial arts at all.

Can he not be afraid!

However, this person, once he focuses too much on the outside, he will ignore the internal changes...

This is not mentioned.

It has been three months since Cheng Yuanzhi obtained most of Jizhou, and internal affairs have gradually been sorted out.

At this time, Yu Fuluo sent an envoy to urge the money.

So Cheng Yuanzhi realized in an instant that he could act again after cleaning up the remaining Sanhu affairs in Bingzhou.

The current situation around Jizhou is as follows: in the north, Liu Yu controls the half of Youzhou in the west. He is highly respected and famous.

No matter Cheng Yuanzhi or Gongsun Zan, it is not easy to rashly attack Liu Yu.

In the south, Yanzhou is a mess. Liu Dai, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and other heroes gather here, and all of them are brave and ruthless.

It's not easy to intervene.

To the east is Gongsun Zan, who has [-] to [-] cavalry under his command, occupying the three east counties of Jizhou, perfectly isolating Jizhou and Qingzhou.

To the southwest is Hedong County, which is the territory of the imperial court. Dong Zhuo sent heavy troops to defend it.

In the northwest is Bingzhou, where there are more Hu people than Han people, the folk customs are tough, and the public security is extremely poor.

Since the four directions are temporarily unable to use troops, Cheng Yuanzhi plans to take the barbarian's sword.

Jizhou has 15 powerful soldiers and only a little more than [-] cavalry, and Gongsun Zan can't beat Gongsun Zan.

How does that work?
Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help but start to look at those Bingzhou neighbors who own countless good horses.

With just one glance, he immediately chose a more appetizing object-the Southern Huns Yuvluo tribe.

The Southern Xiongnu is divided into three tribes, the left, the middle, and the right, occupying the three counties in the central and northern parts of Bingzhou. The area is not large, but they are among the three remaining Hu people in Bingzhou (Eastern Qianghu, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu). ” and “the tribe with the most war horses”.

According to the data reported by the spies, the Southern Huns accounted for more than half of the horse export business in the whole Han Dynasty with an area of ​​only three counties, and they were well-deserved big horse dealers.

As early as the end of 189, when the Dongdong Alliance was just formed, the Southern Huns generously sponsored Yuan Shao's [-] horses.

The Southern Xiongnu took advantage of the newly formed armies of the various princes and needed horses to make a lot of gold, silver, treasures and food, and instantly became rich!

In the whole year of 190 alone, the Southern Xiongnu earned no less than one million taels of silver from selling horses, which can be described as "too rich to smoke."

Among them, Yu Fuluo earns the most!
However, such a power with a lot of wealth has extremely weak military power. The entire Yuvro tribe has less than 2 cavalry.

In the eyes of the strong neighbor Cheng Yuanzhi, this strength is simply not worth mentioning.

When your extremely rich neighbor wears gold and silver, eats delicious food and drinks hot food, and hangs around in front of you every day, he doesn't even have a dog in his family.

The most important thing is that this neighbor also lent you a large amount of debts - because during the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cheng Yuanzhi borrowed a total of [-] horses from the three tribes of the Southern Huns in order to form a large-scale cavalry force.Among them, the Yufuluo Department is the largest creditor,

Yu Fuluo lent a total of [-] horses to Cheng Yuanzhi.

The two parties agreed at the time to pay for the goods first, and pay after the war.

As for the guarantor, it was Yuan Kai, the patriarch of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third lord.

So Yu Fuluo gave Cheng Yuanzhi [-] horses with confidence.

It is conceivable that Cheng Yuanzhi was annoyed when he saw Yu Fuluo's envoy came to demand money.

How ready to move!

Not to mention that after Zhang Yang took control of Taiyuan, his cavalry had increased to 15, and Jizhou had another [-] soldiers and horses.

Even if you leave 5 housekeepers, you can send another [-] horses.

The 5 people in Mali don't even include the more than 1 Bingzhou wolf riders.
