Chapter 741 Lu Liu competes for Xuzhou

The Danyang soldiers are not necessarily mountain forest barbarians, but also Han people living in Danyang County. It is just because there are many mountain forests in Danyang, just like the Han people in Liangzhou and Qiang people living together, the people in such places are fierce and aggressive, but if the Danyang soldiers with flying feathers on their heads, they must be Shanlin barbarians in Jiangnan. The "white-eared soldiers" in the hands of Liu Bei in "Three Kingdoms" are like this.

The living environment of the Danyang soldiers and Liangzhou soldiers is similar. They are both places where Hu and Han live a lot. They are nothing more than one in the south and the other in the north. The people living in such places have similar temperaments and are not so easy to manage.

When Tao Qian was alive, he could suppress the Danyang Army's general Cao Bao, Xu Dan and Zuo Rong. If he died, his son would not be qualified to suppress them at all. In addition, Tao Qian's resentment caused by the purge of the Xuzhou local family, if his son became the prefect, he would either be killed by the Danyang Army or be killed by the Xuzhou local family. Without the powerful external forces to mediate, the war between the Danyang Army and the Xuzhou local family would definitely break out in Xuzhou.

But no matter how chaotic Xuzhou is, it has something to do with Zhang Miao kneeling on the ground? What is he afraid of with dozens of people?

Not to mention, the local families in Yanzhou are monkey essence and monkey essence. When the Sour Zao Alliance rebelled, Yanzhou had the most rebellious princes, and they were also the ones who made Cao Cao rebell. They could see the scene after Tao Qian's death, and they would definitely see Dong Hu taking the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and seize Xuzhou.

If Xuzhou is lost, Yuzhou will be completely surrounded by the Liangzhou army. Not to mention Liu Yao, Zhu Yan and Dong Hu fought with Dong Hu. Even if they escaped a little slower, they would be chopped off by the Liangzhou army!

Liu Yao and Zhu Jun love each other to die. The down-and-out family in Yanzhou do not care whether they die or not. But what if Dong Hu robs Yuzhou again, what should they do?

The group of people cried for a long time, and Liu Yan understood it. She was angry and helpless, but she couldn't ignore it. In the end, she could only agree to send a letter to Dong Hu, promising to keep them when Liu Yao and Zhu Yan were defeated.

However, Liu Yan was extremely angry that the soldiers stopped the people from farming, and scolded Zhang Miao and others again. Zhang Miao and others also agreed to strictly restrain the soldiers, and agreed to immediately summon various families to discuss the farming matters. He even patted his chest and promised that Dong Hu would never give any excuses to confiscate their property.

A group of old fried dough sticks agreed, and they were so honest that they became more and more weird. They were very suspicious that they were deliberately not farming in Xiang County and were just waiting for their sister to speak for protection?

This is true. The families of Pei and Chen countries did not cooperate. Liu Yao and Zhu Yan had no money and food to recruit soldiers and horses, and there were only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in total. The two counties and states had 30 counties. If they wanted to control a county town, at least one thousand soldiers would be needed, and 30,000 soldiers would be needed. This was still in the absence of foreign enemies. In fact, Pei and Chen countries were facing threats from at least two directions of Liangzhou army, especially Dong Hu was still lying in Changyi County, Yanzhou.

The big families of the Han Dynasty were not so easy to meet. For example, during the Sour Jujube Alliance, Cao Cao and Wei Zi were all civilians, but the two could recruit 8,000 soldiers to fight in just two or three months. If the big families in a county did not cooperate, they could organize two thousand soldiers to fight with others within ten days. If Liu Yao and Zhu Yan wanted to hold down the counties in the territory, each county would have to station at least one thousand soldiers, but this was exactly impossible!

Pei State and Chen State do not cooperate. No matter what reason they use, they just don’t cooperate. The Liangzhou army is too strong and the two counties face direct threats. All the families who can escape have fled. No one escaped. It is not that they want to fight to the death, but that they are reluctant to let go of everything in their own family, so naturally they are unwilling to fight a war that they know they will lose.

Liu Yao and Zhu Jun were not unwilling to be strong, but Dong Hu entered Yanzhou because of this excuse. Dong Hu lay in Changyi dozens of miles away from Pei State. No matter how impulsive the two of them were, they would not dare to give Dong Hu an excuse at this time, let alone Zhang Miao, who held heavy troops. The Zhang Chao brothers always met with the families in Yuzhou...

Liu Yao and Zhu Jun were like mosquitoes in spider webs, and they could not get rid of them no matter how hard they struggled. The two of them came to Yuzhou for several months and did nothing for several months.

But the down-and-out families in Yanzhou, Pei State, and Chen State are also concerned about the local families. They cannot judge Dong Hu’s true intentions. Liu Yan needs to give a definite guarantee, but how can they get the guarantee from Liu Yan?

Liu Yan was very interested in Dong Hu who suddenly appeared even earlier when she was ten years old. At that time, she was still young and Dong Hu was only fifteen years old when she became famous. Moreover, what he did was very different from the people of this era. The curious girl seemed to have a fun toy and was quite interested in him. Then the two became grasshoppers on a rope...

She was influenced by Dong Hu more and most disgusted with others' wasteland and cruel abuse of the people. This has also become a weakness that can be exploited by the families of Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Liu Yan was in a bad mood and she did not notice any details. However, Liu Bian was withdrawn and timid, but he doubted Zhang Miao and others so "full of confidence". However, he didn't say much. On the other hand, there was a fierce quarrel in Liu Yao's mansion, and it ended up in disagreement...

Hundreds of people rushed out of the city gate, and Lu Bu turned around with a gloomy face. Seeing that no one was chasing him, his anger flames became increasingly high.

"Song Xian!"

"You will be with the entire army behind you, and you must arrive in Tancheng within ten days!"

Song Xian looked solemn. He knew that this was their last chance to soar into the sky, so he did not dare to hesitate.

"promise!"

Just as Song Xian retreated, Hao Meng hesitated and said: "The military advisor is in Tancheng, and with General Cao's help, I think it can temporarily stabilize the entire Tancheng... If the lord refuses the court, if Dong Hu goes south at this time, what should we do?"

Everyone was silent for a while. When Tao Qian was seriously ill, Chen Gong went to Tancheng. With Chen Gong's reputation and ability, it was still possible to temporarily stabilize the local tribes in Xuzhou. The "General Cao" in Hao Meng's mouth was not Cao Cao, but Cao Bao, the commander of Danyang Bingzong. After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he married Cao Bao's daughter.

Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan first and then Dong Zhuo. Logically speaking, Tao Qian should be extremely wary of him and should not be taken in. This is indeed the case, but Lu Bu is an outsider, which is extremely important!

An outsider who wants to gain a foothold in the local area needs to have some of his own confidants, otherwise he will become a puppet of the local clan. Tao Qian's confidants are Danyang soldiers recruited by his hometown.

Tao Qian stood firm in Xuzhou with the Danyang soldiers. The Danyang soldiers, like the wandering Lu Bu, were all guest soldiers. Moreover, the living environment of the Danyang soldiers and Liangzhou soldiers was similar to that of the Bingzhou soldiers, were all places where Hu and Han lived together. Although Tao Qian did not trust Lu Bu, he was not unacceptable.

The Danyang Army, Liangzhou Army, Bingzhou Army, and Youzhou Army can be said to be a "border army" group, which is very different from the farming soldiers in the Central Plains. If there is no strict constraint, the disaster will be no different. This is also a place where the Xuzhou clan is extremely dissatisfied. Moreover, Xuzhou is not only Danyang soldiers. After Tao Qian trained the farm, Chen Deng, the Diannong Captain, also had some military soldiers in his hands. This is Tao Qian's compromise with the local family in Xuzhou, and it is also a constraint on the Danyang soldiers, which is a balance.

After all, the foreign enemy army was a guest army. No matter how powerful the force was, the local people needed to provide money, food and supplies for it. Tao Qian was a warlord, but he was not a brutal warlord like Dong Zhuo. He used political means to solve the problem. The Danyang soldiers and zong generals were not as good as the Xuzhou clan in power struggles, so they could only increase their strength in force. The Zong general Cao Bao took a fancy to Lu Bu's martial spirit and married a daughter, which was considered a political marriage.

Cao Bao wanted to increase his strength, while Lu Bu wanted to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and each one took the needs.

When Tao Qian died, the local Xuzhou family must have "counterattacked" the Danyang soldiers. Because of the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Bao, the two have a basis for cooperation, but it is not certain who is the main person and who is second. After all, Cao Bao is the old father-in-law, and the Danyang soldiers are also stronger.

According to his strength, Lu Bu could only stay below Cao Bao, but the appearance of Chen Gong may have changed all this, because the Danyang soldiers were the "visitor army"!

Chen Gong is a famous scholar in Yanzhou and can speak in an equal manner with the local family in Xuzhou. The dilemma faced by Xuzhou is the fierce battle between the local family and the Danyang soldiers. If the two sides start a war, even if the Xuzhou families win, they will still be able to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 themselves.

But what about outside Xuzhou?

The Liangzhou army is eyeing the sword in the north of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu is sharpening his sword in the south. Once a large-scale civil strife occurs in Xuzhou, will Xuzhou still be Xuzhou from Xuzhou?

Once civil strife in Xuzhou, the one who gets the advantage is most likely Dong Hu and Yuan Shu. Therefore, Chen Gong has the opportunity to convince the families of Xuzhou to live in peace with the Danyang soldiers, but this requires a "lord" to mediate the conflict between the two sides. What Lu Bu wants is this lord!

But now, Liu Yao, Zhu Yan, and Xun Yu actually recommended Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou, while Lu Bu could only be the Sima of Xuzhou.

The condition for being a Xuzhou governor is to be able to mediate internal conflicts within Xuzhou. The combination of Lu Bu and Chen Gong has this condition. With the support of Liu Yao, Zhu Yan and Xun Yu, Liu Bei's identity as a "legend" is also true!

Hao Meng's words made everyone silent. If the court had not intervened, Chen Gong could have convinced Xuzhou. However, if the court got involved, Xuzhou would naturally be more willing to accept the court...

"Let's go back to Tancheng first."

If it weren't for Dong Hu, it would have been killed if Dong Zhuo was killed, but now... how could Dong Hu let him go?

Seeing that others were silent, Cao Xing hesitated and said, "Is the third lady Dong Hu's sister?"

Cao Xing said something, and Song Xian shook his head with a bitter face.

"So what? How could Dong Hu give up Xuzhou for a woman who cannot determine his identity? If this is true, how would the Liangzhou general who defected to him be willing?"

Lu Bu nodded silently without expression on his face, but he regretted killing Dong Zhuo in his heart. But now that happened, what's the use of regretting it?

"Stop talking, let's go back to Tancheng first, sir may have a clever plan."
