Chapter 61 Zhongshan Wuji Zhen Clan
Liu Tao felt that it was very profitable. He had received gifts from two merchants as soon as he started his army, allowing his soldiers to replace them with high-quality weapons, and at the same time he could train fifty more cavalrymen. Unexpectedly, when he sent the people back, he directly received the rewards of two merchants, and also received the BMW magic weapon.
It feels like I took a task when I played the game, but after I finished it, I found that there were actually hidden tasks in the future, and I ended up getting a more generous reward.
"In addition, there is something I need two people to help you!" Liu Tao saw that the two were about to say goodbye, so he hurried forward. He had originally planned to give up the reward of 500 war horses in exchange for something else.
Now that the two companies take the initiative to invest, it will be more reasonable to ask them to help.
"I need you. It's best to spread some news in Jizhou and Youzhou..." Liu Tao called out to the two of them, and then told them about his original plan.
"This matter is simple, our two families can come forward to help." Hearing this, the two agreed without considering it.
Liu Tao's commission was easy for both companies, and it was nothing more than just a brief notice of the caravans under the names of the two companies to help promote when conducting business. The key is that if you do this well, it will be very beneficial to Liu Tao, and at the same time, it will be beneficial to them.
"Very good, I'll work for you two!" Liu Tao nodded. If this is done well, it can eliminate many hidden dangers.
At the same time, they commissioned two people to go to Zhending County, Changshan to find a man named Zhao Yun. It is best to send some supplies to help him resist the Yellow Turbans. In fact, Zhao Yun should be between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, and the villagers recommended him to resist the Yellow Turbans... Liu Tao can't remember so much.
Speaking of which, there was a mistake. Liu Tao kept saying "Changshan County". However, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang told him that since the second year of Yongyuan (90 AD), Emperor Ming of Han appointed Liu Bian as King of Changshan and Changshan County was changed to Changshan Kingdom, which still exists today.
"Hey, that's it..." Liu Tao didn't expect that it would be like this, so he could only pass by perfunctorily.
Fortunately, the two did not go into it in depth, and only said that after finding out Zhao Yun in the past, they would naturally find ways to send the supplies. At the same time, it was inevitable that Liu Tao would value him. They even had to focus on it, highlighting the identity of Liu Tao's relatives in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Tao smashed his mouth and said to himself: Looks smart, no wonder the two companies can become giant businessmen!
Back at the military camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already started to train horses. Zi Hualiu and Taxue Wuzhi were worthy of being famous horses. They were very keen. Seeing that someone was planning to ride them, they immediately struggled to resist.
However, the rough men on their backs were really capable, and the two horses could not do anything to them. About a quarter of an hour later, the two horses finally accepted their fate, stopped resisting, and succumbed to the power of the two.
"Good horse!" The two of them turned over and dismounted, patted the horse and praised.
"A good horse must be a good horse..." Liu Tao looked at the two horses, "The saddle and stirrup can be replaced, but what should I do if the horseshoe is?"
"If it's just a horseshoe, it's a shape for the craftsmen in the city to create. If you want to hide, just ask the craftsmen of the Su family to create it, and you can be foolproof." Lu Yan felt that this was not a problem, "It should be done within one or two days!"
This is considered that horses after taking the horseshoe require time to adapt.
"That is, how many days do we need to stay with Lu Nu?" Liu Tao raised his eyebrows, feeling that Lu Yan did it on purpose.
"It is indeed necessary to rest here for one or two days. One is the first expedition of the team, which requires time to adapt and relax in moderation. Second, our march is too fast, so if we continue this way for up to three days, we can reach Julu County!" Lu Yan complained immediately.
Liu Tao was stunned when he heard this, and then understood. It was only mid-to-late March, and at this speed, it was less than the end of March, and it was probably possible to reach Julu County. By then, the Yellow Turban thieves could not defeat the imperial army, and another army was coming from the rear, and there were only one thousand soldiers. They were so angry that they would not let him go even if they were to vent their dissatisfaction during this period.
"Ha, then it will become a decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans." Liu Tao smiled and then looked at Jian Yong, "Xianhe, you have seen it too, it's not that I don't want to be fast!"
"There is a priority, and my subordinates naturally know it." Jian Yong could only answer like this. To be honest, he did not expect that in just three or four days, the army set out from Zhuo County and spanned half of Zhongshan County. Even if the speed of this marching was really as follows before, Liu Tao was going to suppress bandits while walking and suppressing bandits.
Through the situation learned from Lu Nu's officials, mainly the Zhang family and the Su family, the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves was actually concentrated in Wei County and was fighting the imperial army. They seemed to be defeated step by step. A few, such as the wounded soldiers and Zhang Jiao headquarters, were defending Julu County.
The main force was constantly defeated and could only retreat step by step towards Julu County. This was the first place where Zhang Jiao started the incident, and it was also an area where the Yellow Turban thieves had completely occupied it and the local politics was gone.
It is conceivable that it is almost impossible to get supplies when entering here. At the same time, it has to face tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves. No matter how stupid Jian Yong is, he knows that he will be crushed to pieces when he hits him like this.
"In line with the situation of Julu County..." After echoing Liu Tao, Jian Yongshao was not allowed to make suggestions, "It is best to bypass it, such as going to Changshan Kingdom to enter Zhao Kingdom, and then joining the imperial troops in Wei County. Or concentrate on regaining the place in Zhongshan County, and bringing the imperial army into Julu County, and then going to join."
Finally, he gave his own opinion: "With current supplies, it is better to stay in Zhongshan County."
It is true that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang defected to Liu Tao. One of these two families mainly focuses on animal husbandry and the other mainly focuses on metal smelting. In terms of food and materials, it is really not enough to support Liu Tao in fighting on a long distance.
It is not easy for Julu to get supplies. If you want to start a war with the Yellow Turban Thief, it can only be a hard battle or even a decisive battle!
"I can only stay in Zhongshan County for a while..." Liu Tao was a little excited and recovered the counties, which was somewhat of a stake in credit, but there was nothing to do without fighting.
The main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves, at least in Zhang Jiao in Julu, probably has received the news. The reason why there has not been any troops sent so far... It may be that the time is too short and no one can be drawn. Even the enemy is still on the way.
"Canshan, do you think the Yellow Turban thieves will send troops north?" Liu Tao looked at Lu Yan.
"It's impossible. Fighting on both sides is unwise. Unless the thieves are all reckless men who only know how to charge, they will definitely shrink their defense line to avoid fighting on both sides." Lu Yan shook his head.
The Yellow Turban Thief, or the three Zhang brothers, probably did not expect that Youzhou not only defeated the troops they sent, but also sent a force to go south. Zhongshan County sent troops, and it was not even a matter of not sending troops. The word "small rib" appeared in Liu Tao's mind.
"Liu Sima..." At this moment, Zhang Shiping went back, but he brought a strange man with him, "Is the army still in short supply? I brought the largest grain merchant in Jizhou!"
"Brother Zhang, although the Zhen family manages grain, Yi does not participate in the operation." The man shook his head when he heard this.
"That's not your family's business. Who doesn't know that you are the head of the Zhen family?" Zhang Shiping smiled and said, "Let me introduce me, the one next to me, Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family in Wuji, Zhongshan. Until last year, it was Shangcai Ling!"
He paused and continued, "At the same time, it's my brother-in-law!"
