On the fifth day, Da'er's army entered Xinye City. It had already been five days.
Pang Tong had already figured out the details of this city with a population of only tens of thousands. Only then did the Xuande brothers realize that the situation was not optimistic.
The local people had no spirit of dedicating themselves to the revival of the Han Dynasty. Even with Jian Yong's inducement and Zhang Fei's coercion, there were too few people willing to serve in the army.
Pang Tong even traveled throughout the city and brought disturbing news. People in Xinye generally felt that Cao Cao was not a bad person and that Fang Guang was a very good official.
This is naturally due to the wealth of Yuzhou, which allows the people not far from Yuzhou to appreciate the good governance of the prime minister and the young Si Nong.
In the Xinye City Government Office, Daer's direct descendants from the civil and military circles gathered together today. When they heard Feng Chu talking about this matter, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Even Feng Chu, a genius with a three-step plan, could not think of a strategy to turn the tide at this time.
"Unruly people, unruly people, these unruly people are eating the big man's food and smashing the big man's bowl. With so many pairs of eyes, can't they see that I, a member of the Han clan, need them?"
Big Er's face was full of impatience. Two days ago, a letter from Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in Xiangyang arrived, asking where Big Er had gone to get the money and food he had cheated.
Naturally, this happened at Liu Cong's place. The second young master was a child after all, so Cai Hao and Zhang Yun asked about the matter.
It was the time to prepare for war in spring and build new ships. The Jingzhou navy was in urgent need of money. Cai Mao's letter was very unhappy, implying that he would lead the troops to hold him accountable.
When it comes to Tai Chi, Da Er should be considered the leader in the world.
A reply letter was being transferred, just to buy time. Although Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were not in Xuande's eyes, they only felt that the third brother could easily kill both of them by themselves.
It's just that there are no soldiers at hand, which is ultimately unsettling.
"Brother, I have an immature idea. Maybe the people here, not just in Xinye, but in all the counties in Jingzhou, will know that Cao Cao is cruel and benevolent!"
Zhang Fei, who always just stared at such occasions, was the first to stand up amidst the silence of thousands of horses.
Liu Bei glanced at his third brother. Although he didn't believe what kind of tricks this pig butcher could do, he still replied kindly.
"Third brother, if you have something to say, it doesn't matter if you just say it!"
"Although my brother is usually rough, he is actually very smart!"
"Brother, if Cao Cao's troops don't come, we can pretend to be Cao Cao's army!"
"The subordinates under my command are all old brothers from Pingyuan. They can pretend to be casual and run thousands of miles. It's no big deal!"
"This Jingzhou is full of wine bags and rice bags. As long as you stay away from the rivers, my brother, who are you afraid of?"
"Okay, what the three generals said is a revelation. These people don't hate Cao Cao, so we can naturally make them hate it. When the time comes, the lord will lead the troops and repel the three generals' subordinates. Wouldn't that be better!"
Zhang Fei said a few words, and Jian Yong, who was on the same channel as Liu Bei, had a cold light flash in his eyes, and he clapped his hands and praised him.
Big Er also feels that this plan is very clever. It will not only sharpen the edge of the third brother's tribe, but also win the popularity of the people.
Big Er, who was born at a lower level, understands best that popularity is the greatest asset for a person with no foundation like him.
"Okay! That's it. Third brother, go find someone in the army who looks similar to you and is reliable! Pretend to be the third general!"
"After three days, I can go on my own. Let's build up some popularity first!"
Liu Bei decided on the matter without waiting for Pang Tong to speak. Although Feng Chu felt that this plan was inappropriate, he had no better plan and could only acquiesce that his brother was acting recklessly.
East of Qingzhou, Taishan County, at the foot of Mount Tai.
Just when Liu Bei's brothers were planning to cause trouble in Jingzhou, Fang Guang, the minister of agriculture in the dynasty and the founder of Juancheng, led three thousand elite soldiers under his command and rushed to this place.
These three thousand soldiers are elite soldiers carefully selected from the vanguard camp and Zhang Liao's Bingzhou cavalry. They can be said to be the top cavalry leaders in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Three thousand people came with nearly 10,000 war horses, including Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Guan Hai. They were like the wind and the horses were like dragons, roaring at the foot of Dongyue Mountain.
At the foot of Mount Tai, Zang Ba, the leader of the Jin Dynasty, personally took his confidant Sun Li and stood with the tribe of Mount Tai to greet him.
Among all the princes and generals in Cao camp, Zang Ba alone submitted to Fang Guang. No one else. When he was in Xuzhou, he was kidnapped by Zhang Fei. At that time, Zang Ba saw the horror of Datong.
Later, the young man defeated Yuan Shu, destroyed Lu Bu, and expelled Liu Bei. Zang Ba often talked with his Taishan tribe.
"The Qilin is sharp and sharp, the best in the north!"
Today, the idol in the heart of Mount Tai's macho man personally led the troops here. When Zang Ba saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, his heart was already surging and he couldn't help himself!
Today, in addition to Zang Ba, the people at the gate of Taishan Family are also full of respect and welcome the guests along with the general.
Ever since Taishan's minerals were exported, local wealthy families have been making a lot of money.
A cart of ore can be exchanged for a cart of grain in Yanzhou, which has a lot of grain but little mine.
The grain was resold to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and the price was very high. However, after one and a half years of trading, Taishan Prefecture and County had already made a lot of money.
The local nobles and aristocratic families were originally unruly and unruly in the Youhan area, and they were the best in Kyushu. Today, looking at the smoke and dust on their foreheads, everyone's eyes are filled with awe.
Getting closer, getting closer, he saw a group of generals, surrounded by a young man in black robes in the middle. The young man's horse was as majestic as a young elephant. Zang Ba couldn't help but let out an excited sigh.
If he read it correctly, Sinong's horse should be the most powerful red rabbit horse in the world.
Everyone in the world knows that after Lu Bu's death, Chitu Ma was no longer willing to recognize his master, but they didn't expect that today they would obediently obey Fang Guang's crotch.
"General, this, is this Red Rabbit?"
"That's natural. Red Rabbit only obeys heroes. In today's world, besides Si Nong, who else can subdue Red Rabbit?"
"Show your moves later and don't talk casually. It will bring shame on us!"
Sun Li, a close confidant around Zang Ba, couldn't help but speak out. Taishan held Jinwu and replied in a tone of caring for the mountain cannon.
In fact, General Taishan's own heartbeat was beating fast. When he saw Red Rabbit, the only young man not wearing a military uniform, his noble aura of keeping away from strangers overflowed. Zang Ba wanted to take two steps forward to greet him, but then he stepped back in shame.
"General Zang, why are you so restrained? I have heard for a long time that all matters in Mount Tai are decided by the general at his word. Today I am here to disturb the general!"
On top of Red Rabbit, Fang Guang saw Zang Ba's reserve at a glance, put one hand on Red Rabbit's neck, and already turned over and dismounted.
"Zang Ba of Mount Tai and all his subordinates have met Sinong!"
"We have met Sinong!"
In front of Fang Guang, hundreds of people bowed and bowed at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became official.
Under the Prime Minister, now I only look at Sinong. Although Mount Tai is thousands of miles away from Xuchang, everyone here understands it well.
The head of General Chariot and Cavalry is still hanging on the top of Xuchang City. It is said that this ground-breaking case was discovered by Lord Sinong himself.
I'm afraid the emperor will be submissive in front of this person, not to mention how rough Mount Tai is?
"You are so polite. In the past year, Yanzhou has been prosperous, and Mount Tai has taken a lot of credit!"
"Mr. Cao will soon join Yuan Shao to hunt for the Northern Territory. When the time comes, I will need all of you to work together!"
