Chapter 27 Hidden dangers

Juping is a county bordering the Jibei Kingdom of Taishan County. It is occupied by Cao Mengde, whose main force is now stationed here.

On this day, Cao Mengde and Bao Xin, Cheng Yu and others discussed in the camp how to weaken the main force of the Yellow Turbans that were entrenched in Boxian and Liangfu.

The Yellow Turban family in Qingzhou has a family with a population of more than one million, but the young and strong is more than 400,000. Cao Mengde's current troops, including the troops he merged after Liu Dai's death, and the military strength of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, has only a total of more than 20,000 people.

Even if he covets this million population, Cao Mengde has to find a way to weaken his main force to a certain extent in order to subdue it with peace of mind.

"The key is that our army has few soldiers."

Bao Xin frowned and said, "If you can defeat the Yellow Turbans in the ten battles, you will only hurt the skin. You must also divide your troops to prevent the Yellow Turban bandits and riots entering Yanzhou and harming the people. What if you do?"

There were few soldiers, and they had to divide their troops to guard the important roads. Even if they were to swing and ten decisive, what could they do? After breaking up the Yellow Turban bandits, they flew around and entered Yanzhou, and countless lands would be left behind.

Cao Mengde also had a headache for this.

"This incident really makes me feel a headache." Cao Mengde rubbed his eyebrows: "Brother Yuncheng, what I mean is, can I subdue them? If all the millions are killed, I'm afraid..."

Bao Xin shook his head directly after hearing this: "Mengde, you don't know the nature of the Yellow Turban thief. If a million people are stored, they don't know how much trouble will happen. What's more, to subdue them. Before they can reliance on their own, you and I must provide food and grass for less than half a year. Millions of people, Mengde, where did the food and grass come from?!"

Bao Xin and Cao Mengde were very good friends and knew Cao Mengde's ability. Now that Liu Dai died, Bao Xin directly contacted the prefectures and counties. With his prestige, he had already pushed Cao Mengde to the position of governor of Yanzhou.

Zhao Yu didn't know about this. When Dian Wei returned to Puyang, this incident had not happened yet.

Cao Mengde also knew that what Bao Xin said was the most reasonable, but he knew deeply that talent was the foundation.

In the chaotic times, there are many people and great talents. Only by creating more wealth can one create more soldiers, and support him to wipe out the world.

Previously, after entering Dongjun and having a deep understanding of the counties in Dongjun, Cao Mengde found that the population was too thin. Now that he has such an opportunity, he really is unwilling to give up.

Bao Xin said: "Meng De, you are not a woman's kind person. Why are you hesitating at this time? The Yellow Turban thieves are very strong, and the counties and counties in Qingzhou east of Mount Tai were almost wiped out by these thieves. In addition to Kong Wenju's Beihai, there is also Donglai, which is blocked by the Beihai. Where else is there a good place? If you don't change your nature, what's the use of not killing them? Is cholera in the world?"

It’s not that Cao Mengde didn’t know the seriousness of this, but when he thought of Zhao Yu, he always felt that it was still very promising.

He said: "Brother Yuncheng, how many days will it take? I will think of a solution when I go to."

Bao Xin sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, Meng De, you pity the life of the Yellow Turban. It's not wrong to say that, but... Hi, I'd better go to Chengxian. Look, Yuan Rang is much more straightforward than you." Cao Mengde couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, a personal guard came to report: "Lord, Marquis Dian Jun is back!"

"oh?!"

Cao Mengde stood up in a flash and ran to the tent gate in a few steps: "Mr. Zhao, can you come?"

The guard was stunned: "Come on." "Okay!" Cao Mengde laughed and turned around and said: "The great sage who solved the Yellow Turbans has arrived! Brother Yuncheng, would you like to welcome me with me?!"

Bao Xin was quite surprised: "Who can break the Yellow Turbans!"

The group of people left the big tent, and within a few steps, they ran into Dian Wei and Zhao Yu head-on.

Dian Wei is big, the tiger is steadily walking, Zhao Yu is light in the wind, and he is strolling in the garden.

"Master!"

Dian Wei clasped his fists and bowed, and let him go aside.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Meng De, I haven't seen each other for many days, so how good is it?"

"not good."

Cao Mengde grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and laughed and said, "Sir, I'll be fine."

Cheng Yu also stepped forward to greet Zhao Yu and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao came in time, and the lord is a headache."

Bao Xin looked around at this time and saw that the "Daxian" was young and had a simple and unpretentious demeanor. If he were in the street, he would probably be no different from those of all living beings.

Can such a person be a great sage?

Cao Mengde introduced at this time: "Mr. Zhao, this is my best friend, Bao Xin Bao Yuncheng, the prime minister of Jibei. Brother Yuncheng, this is my nobleman, Cao Mengde, Mr. Zhao Yu and Zhao!"

Bao Xin was skeptical and bowed: "Good to meet, lucky to meet."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "It's a great honor to meet Prime Minister Bao."

Then he introduced another person, a powerful general who was accompanied by Bao Xin, who turned out to be Yu Jin and Wenze.

Yu Jin, whose courtesy name was Wenze, was from Mount Tai. He first followed Bao Xin. After Bao Xin died, he followed Cao Mengde. He was strict with himself and was good at fighting. He was a general with one class.

After this mutual greeting, they entered the tent and sat down.

Cao Mengde said: "The Yellow Turbans have many powers, and I have few soldiers. I must be wary of the Yellow Turbans taking advantage of the loopholes to enter Yanzhou. Therefore, it is difficult to defeat them in one battle. Sir, I want to subdue him. What do you think?"

Bao Xin frowned. He still disagreed with the act of subjugation.

But Zhao Yu said slowly: "It's not difficult to subdue the Yellow Turbans."

Bao Xin frowned even more and said, "Why should Mr. Zhao speak loudly?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly: "It's true that things are not easy to talk about here, so the Prime Minister will wait and see."

Then he said: "But Meng De will subdue the person, but it will be difficult to subdue his heart. Zhang Jiao was either ambitious or compassionate to others. After four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the world was depressed and the people were in trouble. Zhang Jiao may not have wanted to fight for wealth for the people."

"Great rebellion!"

Bao Xin interrupted Zhao Yu and shouted: "Zhang Jiao's traitor, how can he be compassionate to the world?!"

Zhao Yu looked serious: "Prime Minister, please listen to me."

"Even if Zhang Jiao has a compassionate heart, he is incompetent, and there is a dirt in the Yellow Turban. When all the bandits shake, they all become yellow Turbans. In this way, the Yellow Turban thieves have already been determined. After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban thieves collapsed and the people of the world killed them. The remaining Yellow Turbans have a heart, but they cannot go from good luck, and can only go to darkness. They do not work for production and specialize in plundering, and are deeply thieves. If millions are subdued and placed on the ground, they will definitely cause a lot of chaos. Can Mengde have a solution?"

When Cao Mengde heard this, he said seriously: "The thief nature is because food cannot fill the belly and clothes cannot cover the body. If he can be rich, who is willing to follow the thief? Sir, don't say much, I have decided." "Okay!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Since Meng De has this determination, I will help you subdue the Yellow Turbans. Tomorrow morning, I will walk to the Yellow Turban camp, which will surely subdue it."

Bao Xin heard the conversation between the two and felt it was ridiculous. He stood up angrily: "I'll see how Mr. Zhao subdued the Yellow Turbans."

Then he said to Cao Mengde: "Mengde, I will lead my troops to Chengxian."

Without waiting for Cao Mengde to reply, he left the tent.

Yu Jin bowed to everyone and hurriedly chased after them.

Cao Mengde sighed: "Brother Yuncheng is exactly worried about what his husband said before, and he opposes the storage of the Yellow Turbans." "He wants to go to Chengxian, so let him go." Zhao Yu said indifferently: "Bao Yuncheng is also kind."

Cao Mengde nodded.

Zhao Yucai said: "I said before, but I was actually reminding you of Meng De. It is not difficult to say that it is for me."

Several people in the tent cheered up.

Zhao Yu said: "That old, weak, women and children are insignificant. As long as you have enough food and clothing, it is not a problem. The key lies in the hundreds of thousands of young and strong people."

Cao Mengde nodded: "I think so too. These hundreds of thousands of young and strong people make a living by plundering. If they are released to their hometowns, they will definitely cause chaos. If they are brought back to the army, they are afraid that the bullet will not be able to suppress it. After all, I have few soldiers, and I suddenly have hundreds of thousands of them. I won't raise them if I don't raise them. If the Yellow Turban accounts for the majority, I'm afraid I'll be disobedient."

Cheng Yu also added: "I discussed with the lord that if I want to subdue them, I must give the Yellow Turban leader some treatment. If I directly deprive them of the right to lead the troops, I will start a fuss immediately. What can Mr. Zhao do to solve this problem?"

In fact, to solve the hidden dangers of the Yellow Turban lies in the thief leader. As long as the thief leader can be put down, everything can be solved. So what about the thief soldiers? As long as the military law in the army can be implemented, even if it is unforgivable, he must be obedient. But I am afraid that the Yellow Turban thief leader has many soldiers on hand and thinks that he will rely on it and will not obey if he subdues. Instead, he put Cao Mengde on a rack and roasted it.

In fact, this is exactly the troubles in history after Cao Mengde subdued the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

In order to subdue them, Cao Mengde was not allowed to make a promise, and at the same time, he organized the Qingzhou Yellow Turban into a relatively independent Qingzhou army. It was self-organized, and even Cao Mengde could not control it. Therefore, the bandits remained unchanged and they were good at fighting in the battles. Once they were against the wind, they would easily disintegrate. There were also many acts of harassing the people.

On the premise that Cao Mengde's own strength has not developed to a certain extent, he needs to rely on this Qingzhou soldier and can only turn a blind eye.

Zhao Yu naturally saw it clearly and had his own solution in his heart.

For him, there was no need to make a promise to solve these Yellow Turbans, and said, "Meng De just left this matter to me. If I ask him to be my servant and isolate him from his soldiers, Meng De can easily reorganize him. If he dares to blow up the thorns, I will make him live worse than death."

Cao Mengde and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and they were very calm.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yu left Juping and headed to Bo County, where the main camp of the Yellow Turban camp was located. Cao Mengde and Cheng Yu sent him ten miles outside the camp, and said worriedly: "Sir, you only have ten horses, you are alone, your safety...why would you let Dian Wei and his guard?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and laughed: "What's the matter with just Yellow Turbans? I'm in and out of the millions of troops, and they can't hurt me. Don't worry, Meng De. If it weren't for sending messages, I wouldn't take these ten riders."

Then he turned over and bowed: "Just wait for my news."

With the sound of horse hooves, Zhao Yu and ten cavalry headed straight for Bo County.

However, at the same time, Chengxian County.

Bao Xin led his troops to Cheng County overnight yesterday. After a while, he was about to send troops to attack Liang Fu's Yellow Turbans. Xiahou Dun could not persuade him.

However, Bao Xin was stimulated by Zhao Yu. He felt that Zhao Yu was talking wildly, and he did not agree with subduing the Yellow Turbans, so he wanted to attack the Yellow Turbans.
