Zou Jing was not a fool. He certainly understood the meaning of Gongsun Zhu's words just now.
Gongsun Zhu wants to take Liu Bei and their troops to the Jizhou battlefield. This is not a problem, because... the Jizhou battlefield is the main battlefield in the world.
I can't get any more credit in Youzhou.
But it is different on the battlefield in Jizhou. If they can kill some people on the way to pacify Jizhou, then they will be quite impressive.
And Gongsun Zhu is not as simple as just leaving. Gongsun Zhu seems to know how to behave.
Although he left Youzhou, he was willing to give up the credit for Youzhou to Zou Jing.
Zou Jing heard the words just now very clearly. There are still some sporadic battles left, but now Zou Jing is facing enough Yellow Turban surrender troops, and there are also many Youzhou defeated troops who have gathered again.
Add these to his own troops and abilities, and then get some food from several wealthy families in Youzhou.
He can form a force of thousands of troops, and the only thing left is to pacify Youzhou, which is not easy for him...
This can be said to be unearned credit.
A truly unearned credit!
Regarding this, he couldn't help but smile and cupped his hands directly towards Gongsun Zhu.
"In this case, Zou Jing will not disturb Colonel Gongsun. I wish Colonel Gongsun and brother Xuande... all the best!"
Zou Jing and Gongsun Zhu quickly reached a deal, and then Zou Jing even gave Liu Bei a "military order" to make it easier for him.
It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Gongsun Zhu for his contribution.
The rest was much simpler. Gongsun Zhu and Liu Xuande were reorganizing their troops, and then Zou Jing was also reorganizing his troops and accumulating food and supplies.
Connected with many wealthy families in Youzhou.
Troubled times and wars are not a good thing for any family. Now Zou Jing and Gongsun Zhu are willing to put an end to the troubled times.
This wealthy family in Youzhou is also willing to give out grain and fodder to get some credit.
After Youzhou is pacified, they can openly use this matter to build momentum for the children of their own family, so that they can be recommended and even enter official careers.
Those who are not good can also take advantage of the chaos in Youzhou to get the land that cannot find its owner from the county where it is located.
They have merit, even if the newly appointed governor has something to do with it, as long as they don't go too far, the governor can't be too harsh...
In this way, the remaining families in Guangping County decisively brought out a lot of food and supplies, and supported Gongsun Zhu and Zou Jing's troops like the Zhao family in Dai County.
And they have completely parted ways...
Of course, before leaving, Gongsun Zhu asked Zou Jing to write a battle report, together with his own and that of his uncle Gongsun Zan, who was on guard against Wuhuan and Xianbei in the frontier.
He handed these three "battle reports" to Tian Chou and asked him to go to Kyoto with enough grain and money.
After that, what can be obtained depends on Tian Chou's ability and the emperor's character.
But...
"We don't have much money now. According to His Majesty's character, even if you want to get rewards for your merits, you have to spend some money.
In this way, I'm afraid our money won't allow us to make much progress. "
Gongsun Zhu, who was quite familiar with the current situation, looked at Tian Chou's retreating back and couldn't help but sigh in the direction of Luoyang.
There are some things he doesn't say, but he still knows them very well.
It's just that I can't care about it now.
Gongsun Zhu took Liu Bei and others towards Jizhou, and it was already June.
Originally, according to Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhu's calculations, they should be able to enter Jizhou before July and join Lu Zhi's team.
Follow Lu Zhi and face the great virtuous master, the real commander of the Yellow Turban Army!
This should be the biggest benefit that Gongsun Zhu can think of, and as long as you kill the great sage Zhang Jiao, although this may be very, very small for you.
But as long as he does it, as long as he succeeds, no matter how greedy the emperor and eunuchs in the court are.
None of them can change this credit, he... It's hard to guarantee that he should be able to get a county guard, but there is still no problem with the border captain!
If he does a good job, he might be able to get a good position...
For this reason, Gongsun Zhu was very excited all the way.
But...Gongsun Zhu probably never dreamed that when he went to Jizhou, there would be great changes on the battlefield in Jizhou.
And it was the kind of earth-shattering change!
Lu Zhi... was deposed!
In fact, compared to the battlefield in Youzhou, several other battlefields in the world are very stalemate.
Jingzhou's Zhang Mancheng suppressed many forces in Jingzhou and couldn't hold their heads up, and Yingchuan's Bo Cai was worthy of being one of the most handsome men on the Yingchuan battlefield...or in the entire Yellow Turban bandits.
With the soldiers and horses in hand, the four characters of strength in numbers are brought into full play.
Two of the three commanders of the Han Dynasty made him blocked in Yingchuan County, unable to move. He could only watch the Jingzhou battlefield decay...
On the other side, Guangzong, the base camp of this corner.
Originally, Lu Zhi had already made progress here. Lu Zhi was not only a famous scholar, but also the master of Gongsun Zhu, Liu Bei and others.
He is also one of the most famous generals in the world!
After entering the Jizhou battlefield, Lu Zhi relied on cannibalization tactics and did not attack Guangzong City directly. Instead, he united with Zong Yuan and other Han generals to take advantage of his elite generals and large cavalry.
Continuously kill the surrounding Yellow Turban bandits.
In a few months, he killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, which not only suppressed Zhang Jiao's morale.
At the same time, Zhang Jiao had to defend the city and did not dare to continue to despise the opponent.
Originally, according to Lu Zhi's plan, Lu Zhi did not need to continue the attack at this time.
All you need to do is build barriers outside Guangzong City, dig trenches, build ladders, lock Zhang Jiao inside Guangzong, and attack slowly to achieve a great victory.
After all, he didn't know how much food and grass there was in Guangzong City, but there were countless Yellow Turbans in Guangzong City.
No amount of food and grass is enough for them to eat!
And locking them up for a long time, Lu Zhi continued to attack the surrounding Yellow Turban Army, and taking down another or even two other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army would greatly damage their morale...
And in this way, Lu Zhi can also use this slow pressure method to directly break Zhang Jue's psychology. At that time, the Yellow Turban bandits will collapse without a fight, which can be said to be very good.
Moreover, Huangfu Song, who was far away on the Yingchuan battlefield, knew this, and Zhu Jun also knew it, and they also agreed with it.
This is the reason why the three commanders are not too impatient. They know that according to Lu Zhi's plan, this chaos should be calmed down this year.
But at the most critical moment, this plan...or rather Lu Zhi, went fatally wrong.
Zuo Feng, the chamberlain around Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, was ordered to come to inspect the military situation. In fact, it was his Majesty who saw that Guangzong had been fighting for several months, and in his opinion, there was no movement at all.
I was really worried, so I asked Zuo Feng to take a look at what was going on with Lu Zhi.
And this Zuo Feng... is here to ask for money!
At this time, if Lu Zhi had bribed Zuo Feng, or simply expressed his sympathy, the matter would have been over, but Lu Zhi did not do anything, and even ignored Zuo Feng because the war was critical.
In this way, the first thing Zuo Feng did when he returned to Luoyang was to tell His Majesty that Lu Zhi was suspected of being self-reliant in supporting troops. He could attack Guangzong, but he acted slowly, which was just to delay time.
Nothing Zuo Feng said was right, but nothing he said was wrong.
So sometimes this group of eunuchs fully illustrates one thing, that is, they may not be enough to succeed, but they are definitely more than enough to fail.
Lu Zhi, who was being questioned, was also a straight person. When asked if he had not actually attacked the city after several months of confrontation, he really admitted it and did not even think about explaining himself.
Then the commander of Guangzong's army was changed from Lu Zhi to Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong. Dong Zhuo was named Dong Zhonglang and will go out to control Guangzong...
