Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh Qingzhou governor holding his thighs
Isn't it good to be the big boss behind the scenes? What's the point of having to go into battle shirtless?
Yes, Lei Hu and Qingzhou Huangjin do have the qualifications and strength to be the bosses behind the scenes against Tian Guan and even Youzhou Gongsunzan behind them.
Even though Gongsun Zan of Youzhou failed in the war with Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. It would not be easy for Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zan in one go.
Regardless of the top powerhouses behind them, at least in Lei Hu's eyes, the war between these two northern princes is still within the scope of his understanding. With the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it is not difficult to intervene and interfere.
As long as enough food, grass and weapons are supplied, Youzhou Gongsunzan can not only turn around completely, but at least be able to contend with Jizhou Yuan Shao for a longer period of time. That is no problem at all.
In other words, his subordinate Baima Yicong was basically destroyed. Otherwise, with the super combat power and maneuverability of Baima Yicong, the elite of the world, even if Jizhou Yuan Shao had an absolute advantage, he would not be able to completely defeat Youzhou Gongsun Zan easily.
The longer the two forces are entangled, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, or the promotion of civilization.
Fortunately, Lei Hu's prestige among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou was extremely high at this time. Even if some Yellow Turban generals had other ideas, they would not dare to talk nonsense at this time.
Qingzhou soon returned to calm, as if the previous invasion of Jizhou's partial divisions and the battle involving tens of millions of troops from the three parties had never happened.
However, many things have quietly changed.
…
"Your Majesty, do we need to do this?"
On a spacious official road leading to the hometown of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai and his party walked leisurely, and the person who spoke was the confidant general beside Tian Kai.
"Is it necessary? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
Tian Kai looked back at the surroundings and said with a wry smile: "The situation in Youzhou is unfavorable now. We basically don't have to expect support from there. The Jizhou Army is watching from the side again. If we don't follow the Qingzhou Yellow Turban
Once the relationship is established, will there be a future?"
"Although your words are good, there is no need for us to wrong ourselves so much, right?"
Another general complained: "Whenever I think of bowing my head to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to please me, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart!"
These words spoke to the hearts of the civil and military personnel present.
Thinking that they had the support of Youzhou Gongsunzan before and were the absolute overlord of Qingzhou, they did not take the so-called Qingzhou Yellow Turban seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and Gongsun Zan, the boss behind the scenes, was defeated. The originally good situation was completely lost. Qingzhou also basically lost the support from Youzhou. Their life suddenly became very difficult.
What was most unexpected was that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans developed in a short period of time while others were not paying attention, and their strength became quite impressive. Even the Tian Kai tribe did not dare to provoke them easily.
After that, tens of thousands of troops from Jizhou invaded, and the two alliances defeated them. The very dangerous situation of the Tiankai tribe was relieved.
The Yellow Turbans were wise enough to take the rich loot and returned directly to their lair, pretending to be willing to live in peace, which Tian Kaibu was happy to accept. This was a situation they were happy to see.
Obviously, Tian Kai was not as optimistic as his subordinate Wen Wu. Just over a month had passed, and he had secretly made some large sales of military equipment with the Yellow Turbans. After the relationship between the two parties got better, he took the initiative with his subordinate Wen Wu and his confidants.
I went to the Yellow Turban lair to build relationships.
This kind of behavior is very suggestive, but everyone knows it in their hearts and does not say it out loud.
But precisely because of this, Xing Wenwu was in a very unhappy mood. Apparently, they had not yet adapted to the change in their status as a weakling.
As soon as I thought that this trip was just to curry favor with the yellow turban thieves I had previously despised, I would not feel better.
However, Tian Kai can't control so much. His own family knows their own affairs.
Suddenly he lost the support from Youzhou. Although he had previously united with the Yellow Turbans to defeat the Jizhou invasion force, he also saw his own dangerous situation from that great victory.
To be honest, the greatest contribution to that great victory was attributed to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. As for the role of Tian Kai and his men, it was just to contain some of the Jizhou Army.
Not to mention the astonishing combat power displayed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, they even have an elite force with strong combat power that can condense their military spirit. With only 10 million soldiers fighting against the Yellow Turbans, they can defeat all of Tian Kai's troops.
In other words, the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans is quite astonishing, and they are fully capable of annihilating the Tiankai tribe in one fell swoop and forcibly occupying the entire Qingzhou.
As a powerful leader, seeing the situation clearly is a very important ability. Obviously Tian Kai does not lack this advantage, although it makes him feel quite uncomfortable to admit it.
Now that he has seen the reality clearly and does not want to voluntarily withdraw from the big stage of Qingzhou, it is obvious that establishing a good relationship with the powerful Yellow Turban is his only way out at the moment.
To put it more bluntly, it is actually the thick legs holding the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, this was his best choice at the moment. He and his troops alone would not be able to defend the territory and power he currently controlled, let alone withstand another invasion by the Jizhou Army.
Naturally, he would not explain these thoughts clearly to his subordinate Wen Wu, as his face was not that thick-skinned.
As a result, his subordinates Wenwu did not fully understand the situation and became extremely dissatisfied.
Of course, it is impossible to say that his subordinates have no outstanding civil and military skills, but they have one more choice than the boss Tian Kai. If they really can't survive, it is not impossible to join Jizhou Yuan Shao. Naturally, they don't want to be in front of the Yellow Turbans they used to look down on.
Flattery and flattery.
But regardless of what he was thinking, and having followed Tian Kai to the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans' home base, it was natural to take a closer look at the surrounding environment, hoping to get a glimpse of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans' specific strength.
But this look shocked them greatly...
The spacious and flat official road has obviously been specially expanded, and the journey is quite stable.
Of course, these are nothing, but both sides of the official road are planted with grain crops that can be seen as far as the eye can see. The golden color is so shocking that based on their experience, they will definitely have a bumper harvest.
Nima is really seeing a ghost. These people are high-level civil and military officials in Qingzhou, and the size of the fields and the growth of grain crops in their hands are not as good as the Yellow Turban grain fields they see now.
That's all. When did the Yellow Turbans start farming and developing with peace of mind? This is a strange thing.
What surprised Tian Kai and his party the most was that in the mature fields, there were not dense crowds of people harvesting grain with tools, but rather strange-looking wooden tools moving slowly forward.
With every step forward, such a strange-shaped wooden utensil naturally collects the ripe food crops in front of it into its "belly", and what comes out of its mouth is streams of valley water like a waterfall.
Tian Kai and his subordinate Wen Wu were not fools. The strange wooden tools they saw were obviously harvesting and threshing tools. But how did this thing move?
There were no cows and horses pulling them, and there was no sign of a strong man working hard and sweating. There was only a man standing there, looking relaxed and not looking like he was working, which made them feel incredible.
Continuing deep into the Yellow Turbans’ lair in Qingzhou, the weird scenes never stop happening.
On the road, there began to be more carts transporting newly threshed grain. The carts were not only wider and longer, but also had four or even six wheels. It was simply unheard of.
A large cart can carry at least tens of thousands of kilograms of millet, but the cart is pulled by only one ox and horse, but it can walk like a lyre and bird singing, as if there is not much burden.
What's even more strange is that these four-wheeled or even six-wheeled carriages all walk on a fixed wooden sleeper, and the wheels are also very different from the wheels of ordinary carriages. They have never left the straight wooden sleepers. I don't know how they do it.
of.
In towns and villages, strange and exciting vocal music was emitted from loudspeakers with astonishing loudness, or there were voices coming out of them. The most common ones were loudly shouting at the nearby people and villagers to speed up harvesting food, or some Yellow Turban high-level officials said
In short, a loudspeaker can make the orders and decisions issued clearly and clearly heard by everyone within a radius of dozens of miles, which is even more powerful than the loudspeakers in the military.
After entering the town, they saw and heard so many novel things that Tian Kai and his party were dazzled by the sight. They felt like they were in a foreign country. Most of the novel things here had never been heard of before.
After entering the Qingzhou Yellow Turban territory, what impressed Tian Kai and his party the most was how clean and tidy the place was, as well as the orderly and good order. I don't know how the Qingzhou Yellow Turban senior officials did it.
The soldiers and civilians in the Yellow Turban territory of Qingzhou were all rosy-cheeked and full of energy, and they looked like they had enough to eat. This even surprised Tian Kai and his party.
Nima, what is the world like now?
The late Han Dynasty was a chaotic time, with wars and refugees everywhere, and the order of the entire Han Empire collapsed.
Even when the Han Empire was barely holding on, those ordinary people couldn't survive. Otherwise, how could the Yellow Turban Rebellion launched by Zhang Jiao have such a huge momentum? Wasn't it supported by countless poor people who didn't have enough to eat?
Although the Han Empire had a vast territory and abundant supplies, it was a pity that most of the resources were controlled by wealthy families, leaving very little for the common people.
Even if Tian Kai, as the governor of Qingzhou, had the support of the eldest son of Youzhou, Gong Sunzan, he could barely keep the generals from going hungry, but it was impossible to do more.
How miserable the situation among the people was. Even if he didn't ask, he knew that the number of people dying of starvation was increasing every day. This was one of the main reasons for the sharp decline in the population of Qingzhou. The rampant yellow hair in Qingzhou alone would hardly create a tragic scene thousands of miles away.
.
But what Tian Kai and his subordinate Wen Wu saw in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban territory were beyond their imagination.
The people, soldiers and civilians here can actually have enough to eat!
Nima, is this still the Yellow Turban? Even before the order of the Han Empire collapsed, the court could not do this.
