Chapter 21 Who is in favor and who is against

"My lord, when we return to Yu County to rest, we should ask the county magistrate to arrange a place for us to stay."

Liu Qing and his group of four were walking on the street. Tian Feng looked at the people coming and going on the street and suddenly said this.

"Why? Isn't Cai Mansion very good?"

"My lord, since you want to marry Zhao Ji, you should complete the six etiquettes and make sure that the matchmaker is marrying her. Now that Bo Zhe is not at home, if we move in, we may damage Zhao Ji's reputation."

Tian Yuanhao, you are so thoughtful, can you be more stable?

"Yuan Hao's concerns are in line with my wishes, so I will ask the county magistrate to find a place to live near Cai Mansion." After Liu Qing finished speaking, he strode forward.

When Tian Feng heard this, he paused and his expression changed slightly.

Lord, do you understand what I mean?

"My lord, my lord!" He hurriedly caught up, "Jun Yi left a note saying that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun broke through the siege many times, but they all failed. Now that the siege of Changshe has been established, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are in danger."

"It seems that the war is about to begin. Zilong, the matter of building the camp will be handed over to the Yellow Turban prisoners. The cavalry must be well rested in case of any eventuality. The wounded must be sent to Yu County for treatment."

"Here!" Zhao Yun accepted the order, turned around and left the city again.

"The county magistrate's side is left to Yuan Hao, as well as the residence you mentioned."

"Lord, don't worry."

Liu Qing took Gan Lai to the county jail and mentioned Pei Yuanshao. Compared with the last time he saw him, he was really in a much more embarrassed state. Not everyone in prison can feel like they are home like Zhou.

Pei Yuanshao looked at Liu Qing without saying a word. He felt that Liu Qing was looking at him a little strangely, so he did not dare to say anything.

"Peng Tuo has been executed and his head has been sent to Luoyang."

A flash of horror flashed in Pei Yuanshao's eyes, and he looked at Liu Qing's expression as if he didn't believe it.

"This is Peng Tuo's military advisor, who has pledged his allegiance to me." Liu Qing continued.

Pei Yuanshao turned his eyes to Luo Ganlai and saw that his face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Liu Qing also looked at Luo Ganlai, "Has Ganlai thought that Pei Yuanshao is in my hands?"

Looking at Pei Yuanshao, Luo Ganlai finally had a wry smile on his indifferent face. It turned out that Peng Tuo's defeat was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

"The lord used Pei Yuanshao's secret message to lure Peng Tuo to attack Chen Liu. When he was defeated, he took advantage of the situation and killed Peng Tuo. Chen Liu took over Peng Tuo's strength, causing his cavalry to be destroyed, and the lord reaped all the profits. This plan is really a real one. It’s the work of an immortal.” Luo Ganlai looked at Pei Yuanshao jokingly and continued, “It’s a pity that Peng Tuo believed in this person and was too determined to win Chen Liu. He was greedy for success and rushed forward. This defeat is also his own fault.”

"Did you hear everything?" Liu Qing asked Pei Yuanshao.

"The general said that if Peng Tuo is defeated, my life will be spared, but do you really mean it?" Pei Yuanshao said.

"One word and nine tripods!"

Pei Yuanshao looked at the thin black man next to Liu Qing, and immediately kowtowed to Liu Qing.

"Although Shao is not talented, he still has some brute strength. I hope the general will take him under his wing!"

You said that you are obviously bald, but why do you only have some brute strength?

"Tell me about you. You look so scary. I definitely can't keep you by my side. You don't have much talent or intelligence. You only talk about loyalty and laziness, and you also deceive your superiors. Why should I keep you?"

Pei Yuanshao was stunned, so he had so many shortcomings?

Why did his brothers praise him for his strength and wisdom when he was stationed at Iron Mountain?

"But after much thought, I actually thought of a job that is suitable for you."

Pei Yuanshao's eyes lit up, "Master, please speak!"

The change of tune was pretty quick.

"Now that spring plowing is approaching, I want to use your more than 30,000 people to open up wasteland and plant crops. During this period, I will provide them with food and shelter, and protect their safety. This work requires a co-ordinator, commonly known as a foreman."

When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. This job required him to continue to supervise the work of more than 30,000 people, and he would also be provided with food and accommodation.

Why did they follow the Yellow Turbans to rebel? It was because they worked so hard that they couldn't even fill their stomachs, and there was no other way to survive.

"Shao is willing. Thank you, my lord. Shao will definitely lead them to cultivate the land well and repay my lord."

Outstanding among the Yellow Turbans, he is worthy of this title.

As for the fragrant breath, I have never seen it before, and I don’t know if I will ever have the opportunity to see it. If I compete with Tian Feng, I don’t know what the effect will be.

"Get up! It's up to you to persuade the thirty thousand people in Iron Mountain. As for the fields, I will arrange them."

Liu Qing felt a headache when he thought about having to communicate with these so-called big businessmen at night.

Socializing is definitely not his strong point.

But the mess of the Yellow Turbans cannot be left alone. In his eyes, these are demographic dividends, but he has no time to take care of them for the time being. The result of leaving them alone is that they will once again become bandits and bring disaster to one side. History has proven this.

At present, we can only think of this compromise method, which is to use the land of powerful households to resettle the refugees and let them farm. If one side has a harvest, the other side can survive. If the land can be harvested, the other side can survive.

As for those advanced production relations in your head, you can only practice and explore them after you have a territory that truly belongs to you.

Now Liu Qing, to put it bluntly, is a guest in another county, stationed here and working as a bodyguard for others.

As night fell, the lights began to turn on, and the banquet at the county magistrate's house also began.

Liu Qing and Tian Feng went to the banquet. When they entered the hall, everyone had already arrived. To their surprise, Cai Yan was also present and sat very close to the front.

Cai Yong was avoiding trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, but Cai Yan was able to enter the court as a daughter and participate in major events in the county, which shows the influence of the Cai family in Yu County.

Magistrate Cheng was wearing casual clothes and sitting at the main seat. The two guest seats at the front were empty, naturally reserved for "general" Liu Qing and "strategist" Tian Feng.

Liu Qing occupied the right seat and Tian Feng occupied the left seat. In the Han Dynasty, the right was respected.

In this way, Cai Yan became Liu Qing's neighbor. Magistrate Cheng's arrangement showed that he was careful.

Liu Qing took his seat, and people from all walks of life bowed their hands to each other in greeting.

"The guests have arrived and the banquet has begun. I wonder if the general needs singing and dancing to entertain him?" County Magistrate Cheng asked. He knew he was experienced at first sight.

"Thank you so much, magistrate, for your kindness. Let's talk about business first!" Tian Feng replied for him, "Today, I have an important matter to discuss with you at the magistrate's night banquet. Whatever I say, if you have different opinions, you can do so in person.

propose."

Several wealthy families looked at each other in disbelief, but did not say a word.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and caused disaster for one party. They captured counties, killed officials, burned government offices, and looted large households. Now it has spread to 28 counties in seven states, and Chenliu County was not spared. A few days ago, Tieshan, Pei Yuanshao, and Chen Yuan led

The army besieged the city and demanded money and food. When my lord happened to meet him, he killed Chen Yuan and imprisoned Pei Yuanshao, and then returned the money and food to each family."

Tian Feng paused, and the heads of each family nodded in praise.

"The day before yesterday, Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in Runan, led an army of 30,000 to attack Chenliu. The bandits burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Our lord immediately attacked and attacked Peng Tuo with the prefect Zhang Miao at the foot of Chenliu City. Peng Tuo was defeated and was captured.

Beheaded by my lord."

"However, within the territory of Chenliu, there are still more than 50,000 Yellow Turban surrender troops, 30,000 of which are stationed in Tieshan, less than 20 miles away from Yuxian County. Our Lord has accepted the surrender of Pei Yuanshao and his tribe, but our army is far away.

Come on, the food and grass are limited and it is impossible to feed them."

"It is now the time of spring plowing. Our lord wants to borrow land and grain from various families to feed the soldiers. All expenditures will be recorded in accounts and records. After the autumn harvest, the fields and grain will be returned. In this way, we can avoid the chaos caused by the soldiers and the desolate land.

Someone can farm it."
