Tao Qian is a man whose character is very different from the novel and the Three Kingdoms. His humility and benevolence spread throughout the world along with the novel. His integrity, his arrogance, his ambition and viciousness also gradually emerged from the history books.
So, Li Shushi was a little confused. Looking at the square face in front of him with piercing eyes, dressed in a green and elegant dress, especially the friendly smile on his face, Li Shushi really didn't understand the fifty-year-old man in front of him.
What exactly is the old man thinking in his heart? It's just too rude to stare at him like this while his mind is wandering.
Feng Wei, who was following Li Shushi, was a little worried. Although he didn't know who Tao Qian was, he also knew that the person who could stand here must have something to do with the confidant sent by Zhang Wen. Whether it was the confidant himself or the confidant.
All in all, he, who is not considered a prominent figure among local powerful men, can offend him in the military camp.
However, his figure was always separated by Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Even if he wanted to remind Li Shushi, it was difficult to do so. If possible, he really wanted to split Li Shushi's head.
Head, see what he is thinking.
"It seems that you have heard of my name, which makes me a little curious."
Although Li Shushi was very rude, after all, even though Tao Qian had no superior-subordinate relationship with him, as an elder, Li Shushi still had to show a certain amount of respect to Tao Qian, but Tao Qian did not show much respect.
Although he looked angry, his tone still had the unique kindness of an elder who cares for his juniors.
Of course, if this expression wasn't because of his truly broad mind, then Tao Qian would definitely be called an actor-level politician.
"Well, because I was born in Zhuo County, I often heard that Governor Tao was an upright and upright official and protected the peace of the people of Youzhou. So when I heard the name of Governor Tao today, I felt a little bit out of control. I also asked Governor Tao not to blame me.
It’s better to be rude.”
The governor of Youzhou, this was the last official position that Tao Qian held so far. Later, due to the second party ban, Tao Qian was also affected and has been unemployed until now. However, with the outbreak of the Qiang Rebellion, he served as a chariot and cavalry general.
Zhang Wen thought of this veteran general who had made great achievements in the border areas and made him a member of his staff. Only then did Tao Qian return to his official career.
Now Li Shushi mentioned that Tao Qian served as the governor of Youzhou. This was a period that made Tao Qian quite proud. Although Tao Qian was an upright man, he was also confident that he would be praised by the local people after serving as an official. Therefore,
The excuse that Li Shushi came up with in a flash of inspiration also yielded an unexpected surprise, which put a somewhat smug smile on Tao Qian's face.
"Well, Mr. Tao is willing to serve the country. I would like to thank him in advance. However, Tao has to say ugly things first. If the young master and his subordinates disobey the general's orders or have liaison with the bandits, then the leaders outside will
I think the young master must have seen it too."
Tao Qian's name for Li Shushi changed significantly, and his words became more polite. However, even so, his words still revealed a trace of murderous aura, and he also explained the origin of the heads hanging outside the camp gate.
Of course, Tao Qian would not pay attention to the mere caravan guards, and the main reason why he was waiting for Li Shushi and his party here was because he heard a certain rumor. You must know that Li Shushi went south from Fushi.
There was quite a lot of commotion along the way. Tao Qian did some research on such a team, but the news he got surprised him.
"Dong Zhuo loved to take Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu with Zhang Ji's tribe to accompany his master's grandson on outings." This is the information Tao Qian got after removing the obviously exaggerated content, but the content made Tao Qian
I have some ideas.
You must know that although Tao Qian was appointed as a staff member by Zhang Wen, this upright old man in his fifties was not grateful to Zhang Wen and would follow him to the death. Instead, he felt that Zhang Wen was betraying the emperor's trust by taking on this task, because he
He was really not a good commander. Of course, Zhang Wen knew this very well, so he summoned talented people from all over to help.
It's just that Tao Qian was really irritated when he saw Zhang Wen's poor command in Zhang Wen's military camp, but he couldn't replace it. He often argued with Zhang Wen about this. However, Zhang Wen also knew his own level.
It was just because of the issue of face that I had to refute it, but in Tao Qian's opinion, such a desperate need for face was worse than a lack of ability.
He couldn't bear to look at it but had to look at it. In desperation, Tao Qian finally found an opportunity to apply for more than a thousand troops from Zhang Wen in the hope of coming here to quell the rebellion. Zhang Wen knew Tao Qian's ability and at the same time found a way to let him go.
The way for both of them to feel more comfortable was to be out of sight and out of mind, so they happily agreed to Tao Qian's request.
However, Tao Qian accepted this order not only to escape from something, but more importantly to cut off possible threats on the flanks of the army. Therefore, with the power of Zhang Wen and the strength of more than a thousand genuine soldiers, he quickly eliminated the scattered soldiers.
During the unification of powerful armies, the means during the unification were far beyond what those dozen heads could express.
However, the connection between these powerful coalition forces and Zhao Qinglong's rebels who were stationed in Qiyuan County during this period was inextricably linked. Therefore, although Tao Qian had formulated complete plans, these plans were basically passed within a short time.
Come through various channels
On Zhao Qinglong's desk, he can then make corresponding arrangements. In addition, in order to prevent the other party from getting the first prize, the powerful tribes interfere with each other and cause harm to each other. In the end, Tao Qian's attack turned into thunder.
"Playing house" with big raindrops and small raindrops.
Although Tao Qian shocked the whole army with more than ten heads, Tao Qian also knew in his heart that those were just the scapegoats defaulted by both sides. It was impossible for Tao Qian to really bring those powerful leaders to justice.
Within the next day, the entire powerful coalition will become his enemy. Although Tao Qian has a strong temper, his brain is not made of elm wood.
This is why Tao Qian is so looking forward to the arrival of this force that is suspected to be under Dong Zhuo's command, because Dong Zhuo rarely uses strategy in his military use. Most of them directly confront the enemy head-on and defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield. In this way, although every battle is
The battle damage was very heavy, but every veteran who survived was a strong soldier who could equal ten.
With such a force as an arrow, it will be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army, which is not very strong in terms of strength, to organize an effective resistance.
As for those guys who always like to hold others back, Tao Qian doesn't think Dong Zhuo's soldiers will be good-tempered guys. Those people are just as brave and fierce as Dong Zhuo and will retaliate.
one
Being a bunch of cowards is enough to make them look down upon, not to mention holding them back. When the time comes, as long as Tao Qian pulls the strings and seduce some of them with benefits, the entire powerful coalition will be flattened and rounded by Tao Qian.
.
"Tao and everyone have seen the battles in the past two days. Many people have their own petty thoughts and are unwilling to contribute to the country. They don't even want other people with lofty ideals to contribute to the country. At the moment, the court is most concerned about
The thing is to put down the Qiang chaos, and all obstacles
The things and individuals who are trying to suppress the Qiang rebellion will become the number one enemy of the imperial court. And those who can make a contribution in the process of suppressing the Qiang rebellion, His Majesty will never be stingy with rewards. So I hope that everyone here can understand the situation clearly.
, don’t make the mistake of yourself.”
There are severe threats, but there are also rewards within reach. Tao Qian's words made all the powerful leaders sitting there fall into deep thought. After all, although the big man is in trouble, he still looks like a giant. Tao Qian brought
The troops of more than a thousand people were also so majestic and inviolable. Although Zhang Wen's army could not defeat one of the Qiang people in two, it was more than enough to deal with troops like them that could only be called militia.
We must know that although clan politics has many disadvantages, it is undeniable that in addition to being prone to giving birth to moths, clan clans are also prone to giving birth to elites. Especially in this era when knowledge can also become a monopolized commodity, such elites are more likely to be defeated by ignorant people.
They are worshiped and admired, and as long as they properly use the knowledge they have learned and the respect of the people, they can control a huge empire.
Therefore, even though the Han Dynasty spent most of its time constantly performing farces of power struggles between relatives and eunuchs (emperors), both relatives and eunuchs needed those elites to preside over political affairs, and it happened that during this period many ambitious emperors were born.
The elites of the clan or the founders of the clan, with the efforts of these people, the Han Dynasty has reached the present moment despite stumbling and stumbling.
However, overall, the clan still does more harm than good, because its monopoly on knowledge means that people with mediocre or even low qualifications can easily obtain high positions by relying on their monopoly on knowledge and rich connections, while relatively outstanding talents can easily gain high positions.
It was difficult to obtain high positions, and the upward passage was heavily blocked, eventually turning the upper reaches of the empire into a backwater.
And when the elites are no longer as capable as before, the collapse of the empire is just around the corner.
Of course, these powerful leaders here are no more than a group of country bumpkins. They are still far, far away from those top-level nobles, so they are not able to resist Tao Qian's carrots and sticks.
Not strong.
Because of the hundreds of powerful troops under his command, Li Shushi also got a seat at the military meeting. And under Tao Qian's deliberate arrangement, not only did Li Shushi have a seat close to Tao Qian, he also took the position as the senior brother.
Zhang Xiu, the code behind him
Wei and Xu Chu were standing on both sides, looking mighty and majestic. Such powerful taunts also successfully shared the dissatisfaction of the powerful commanders with Tao Qian, a powerful commander. Some people even planned to give good treatment to this little guy who didn't know where he came from.
A show of force.
Tao Qian watched everyone's thoughts one by one. Perhaps the only thing he was worried about now was the strength of Li Shushi's troops. If Li Shushi's hundreds of people were too weak, then his plan would not be so easy to implement.
"Tomorrow we will prepare food at five o'clock, and we will set out at dawn to capture Qiyuan City in one go. The first to climb the city will be heavily rewarded for the head of the enemy chief Zhao Qinglong!"
At this moment, Tao Qian also felt a little like an old man going crazy. After all, this was the best opportunity for Tao Qian to once again appear on the political stage of the Han Dynasty after lying dormant for several years.
