This is in line with common sense, so the Xiliang army ate the tribute from the Yongzhou bandits, while waiting for the bandits to use money or grain to buy horses, and then take advantage of them. To be honest, the Xiliang army had been cheating from the beginning. If they plan to take advantage of others, they won't worry about getting into trouble. Their boss is about to take the throne now, so what do they have to worry about?
While the Xiliang soldiers were bragging and beating up the bandits who were waiting on them, they were preparing to kill these bandits. After all, it is natural for officers and soldiers to destroy bandits!
The Yongzhou bandits were bragging about defeating the Xiliang soldiers who were selling horses, and at the same time they were preparing to kill these inhuman things. As for food and money, they didn't have enough, so how could they give it to the Xiliang soldiers? What a joke! And if these Xiliang soldiers hadn't been looting everywhere, would they have turned into bandits?
Therefore, in the minds of the Yongzhou thieves, as soon as the news of their leader comes, these bastards will become meat on the chopping board, and they will be chopped into minced meat! As for these 4,000 horses, they will naturally ride away. They cannot offend you Xiliang soldiers. They will stop hanging around in Yongzhou after doing this. How can the 4,000 horses have a different origin among other princes?
With this in mind, both the bandits of Yongzhou and the soldiers of Xiliang call each other "brother" and touch the knife in their hands. They will show no mercy when it's time to take action. Everyone has the same purpose, that is, one gangster eats the gangster!
On the other side, Gongsun Zan also received Liu Bei's supplies and a letter. The letter was not long and the content was very simple.
Ichijo simply explained his current situation, that is, he was here in Taishan, facing Qingzhou, and Huangjin did not face Jizhou directly, so it was difficult for him to help, and the Yellowjin still had some strange movements, so it was difficult for him to leave.
The other one means that brother is barely rich now. I heard that you want to fight Yuan Shao. No matter what the reason is, I will first raise you 100,000 shi of food, a ship of refined salt, and 10 million yuan. If the supplies are not enough, I will also give you some money. Can make some more.
When Gongsun Zan received this letter and the supplies delivered by the Lu family's fleet, he was filled with emotion. The sad mood that he had been disappointed with Liu Yu was instantly relieved. It was better to be his brother. Liu Bei had just arrived at Mount Tai. After more than half a year of poverty, it is estimated that the people under his rule have not been comforted. He heard that he wanted revenge and directly gave him so many supplies. This is a brother!
There are brothers who support Gongsun Zan and feel that he is burning. Yuan Shao said that he wanted to divide Jizhou equally, but now he has it all to himself. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he may have forgotten that he is the White Horse General Gongsun Zan!
"Guo Rang, how many horses do we still have in our racecourse?" Gongsun Zan was very happy after receiving Liu Bei's confidence. One hundred thousand shi of grain was nothing. A ship of salt was enough to last his army for three months. Ten million shi was just that. The price is a hundred horses, but in Gongsun Zan's view, this is all brotherhood, and he must give some reward in return. Now Gongsun Zan, who is full of confidence, feels that he will never fail.
"We just plundered Wuhuan and Xianbei before. In addition to the white horses that have been incorporated into the Yi Cong team, there are now a large number of variegated horses. We originally planned to sell them to the Yuan family in Yuzhou and the Zhen family in Jizhou at a price of 70,000 yuan each. , Cui family, Qinghe Zhang family. But now we plan to fight with Jizhou, so naturally the horses are still in our hands." Tian Yu said calmly, he knew that Gongsun Zan had committed his old habit again.
After following Gongsun Zan for such a long time, Tian Yu has already figured out Gongsun Zan's pulse. If this guy likes anyone, then whatever he does is right. But Liu Bei just fell in Gongsun Zan's eyes for some unknown reason, so Gongsun Zan took great care of his old classmate.
In the past, Tian Yu thought it was really stupid to do this, but this time when he saw the supplies delivered by Taishan at the port of Liaoxi County, Tian Yu agreed with Gongsun Zan's style. Although 90% of them would be white-eyed wolves, there were occasionally one or two like them. With Liu Bei being so awesome, the previous investment was instantly worth it, so this time Tian Yu did not persuade Gongsun Zan not to give Liu Bei anything.
Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan had the same view. Liu Bei had been to that poor place in Mount Tai for only half a year. He must have used all his strength to get these things out now. For a wealthy man like Gongsun Zan, except for salt, Liu Bei's other supplies were not important at all. Nothing, think about it. Three thousand white horses each have two horses. A person has two kilograms of grain a day, and a horse has twenty kilograms a day. People need two thousand shi of grain to eat horse chews every day. One hundred thousand shi is a month and a half of rations, and more. What's more, there are large groups of infantry.
"Give all the variegated ones to Xuande. Didn't you mean to catch a few wild horses that are about to become powerful? Give them all except the white ones to Xuande." Gongsun Zan directly gave Tian Yu an order. Unless Wuhuan and Xianbei were plundered recently, otherwise they would all be white horses. Gongsun Zan always felt upset when looking at horses of other colors. It would be better to give away or sell the variegated horses.
Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei's appointment letter and pressed his eyebrows. Should he refuse? After all, he was about to get married. If he went to pick it up like this, the marriage would not have to be concluded. Although Chen Xi was confident of taking care of the yellow scarves of the brigade, there were so many Finishing the number cannot be solved in a short time.
"What's the trouble with Zichuan?" Liu Bei asked puzzledly.
"It's nothing, I just thought I could send Zi Yang under my command." Chen Xi shook his head and gave the reason.
"You are the coach this time, and it is up to you to choose the natural man, as long as you leave enough garrison troops for Taishan." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Well, then leave it to me." Chen Xi nodded and accepted the appointment letter, preparing to go back and hand over the government affairs to Lu Su, and then he went to Qingzhou to pack up the Yellow Turbans, but before that he needed to communicate with Fan Jian and Chen Lan explained that after all, this was a regular military service, and it was normal to bring his wife with him, which would attract hatred. However, he was a little uneasy about Chen Lan and Fan Jian.
Chen Xi did not want to express any opinions on the commander. War was not something he was good at, but he could still do it as a commander. After all, Chen Xi said that he had good eyesight, and he knew how to make good use of people. As long as he combined the abilities of each general If he still manages to defeat him if he exerts all his strength, then it's not his problem, it's purely due to his strength.
Besides, this time we are fighting against the Yellow Turbans, not against Cao Cao who has great talents, Er Xun and Cheng Yu as his staff, and he has a lot of ruthless people under his command. Not to mention fighting against the Yellow Turbans, the delay is enough to drag the Yellow Turbans to death. An enemy without food can probably capture prisoners if they are hungry. What a great military exploit.
But at this time, it seems like you should write a letter to Tao Qian first, asking for food or something. After all, Mount Tai is the gateway to Xuzhou. If Mount Tai cannot hold Xuzhou, it will be bad luck. Xuzhou should indeed be held responsible.
Stepping out of the Government Affairs Office, Chen Xi looked at the sky. This was his first time to go on an expedition. He didn't seem to be excited at all. The Yellow Turbans were just a trouble because of their large number. Compared with the princes, it was really easy. , and the people and soldiers he led seemed to be cheating.
