Chapter 931 The Saibei Alien Who Was Not Lightly Damaged
Lei Hu practiced the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" in seclusion, but he only showed up a few times throughout the year, taking advantage of his free time to deal with important matters of the Yellow Turban collar.
The development of Qingzhou Yellow Turban has not been affected at all. It has completely entered the fast lane of development. Its rapid momentum has caused the surrounding princes and forces to feel great pressure.
Even Yuan Shao, regardless of the dissatisfaction of his aristocratic family group, desperately tried to recruit casual cultivators and cultivating forces that he could contact, and desperately studied the rune tools that the Yellow Turbans led the industry.
Just like Liu Bei's idea, it would be impossible to completely replace Jizhou Group if it weren't for its production volume alone.
At the very least, most of them must be manufactured by themselves, so as not to suddenly deteriorate the relationship with the Yellow Turban Leaders and cause a huge risk of running out of rune equipment.
In order to show his 'sincerity', he sent his favorite youngest son Yuan Shang to the Yellow Turban Middle School to study.
I heard that for this matter, Yuan Shao's backyard was filled with cane sugar. Fortunately, Yuan Shao had not swelled at this time, so he could distinguish the importance and was not affected by the back house. He just asked his youngest son Yuan Shang to be a 'hostage' in the Yellow Turban Territory.
.
Belly sinister heart of a gentleman!
This was Lei Hu's casual comment after learning about it, but he did not pay attention to Yuan Shao's small actions. As long as Jizhou did not take the initiative to cause trouble, the Yellow Turban leaders would naturally not take the initiative to do anything against them.
It’s really funny to say that the Jizhou Yuan Shao Group is the most powerful family interest group in the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao himself is a representative figure of the family. In fact, this role of Yuan Shu is more suitable. Unfortunately, this guy failed to live up to his expectations and was unlucky early after being captured by the Yellow Turban Army.
Behead.
As for the Family Group, they hated the Yellow Turban Army the most, as they were the troublemakers who broke the order of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Jiao was destroyed, and the Han family contributed a lot. Now that the Yellow Turban leader has taken over all the small mountains, he is naturally a thorn in the side of the Jizhou family group, and they want to kill him quickly.
In particular, the policies implemented by the Yellow Turbans, whether it is popularizing education or cultivating a new ruling class, are digging into the roots of the Saga Group. Naturally, they will not have a good impression, and all kinds of hatred are natural.
But that's it. After seeing the power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the development momentum of the Yellow Turban Leaders, the force with the largest transaction volume with the Yellow Turban Leaders is the Jizhou Yuan Shao Group.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to learn from the policies and practices of the Yellow Turban Leaders, but this did not prevent them from purchasing a large number of rune production equipment, rapidly improving productivity and production efficiency, which greatly improved Jizhou's strength. Only then did Yuan Shao's army sweep across Yuzhou, with a direct force
Showing the ferocious momentum of Jingzhou in Nanyang.
At the same time, the strength of the Jizhou Family Group also expanded rapidly. Not only did it work harder to support Yuan Shao, but also as the Jizhou Army continued to advance rapidly, its influence and power also expanded rapidly.
Compared with the ambitious and highly motivated Jizhou Shijia Group, Jiangdong Shijia's performance is much worse.
The rapid expansion of Jizhou has little to do with the Yellow Turban collar, but I don’t know what the top management of the Jizhou Family Group thought. Except for Yuan Shao who sent his youngest son Yuan Shang to the Yellow Turban collar, other aristocratic families in Jizhou sent either their legitimate second sons or their valued bastards to the Yellow Turban collar.
Yellow scarf reading.
Needless to say, this is another old tactic of the Family Group, which does not put eggs in one basket. Even a prince like Yuan Shao is not exempt from this practice.
"There is no need to attach too much importance to them, and don't deliberately target them. Just treat them as ordinary students. Whatever they do is inappropriate, just let them be!"
This was Lei Hu's order. Although he couldn't understand such multi-lateral betting, there was no need to pay too much attention to it. It was just like that and it didn't attract much interest from him at all.
Not only the Yuan Shao Group is like this, but the Cao Cao Group is no exception. Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang and the direct descendants of the Cao and Xiahou families, as well as the descendants of the Cao Cao Group's aristocratic and poor families, also come to Qingzhou to attend the Yellow Turban School.
As if following the fashion, Lu Bu also sent his only daughter. The school in the Yellow Turban School was gender-neutral, which particularly pleased Lu Bu.
That is to say, Liu Bei has no descendants yet, otherwise Guan Ping would have a companion.
The Xuzhou Aristocratic Family did not follow suit, not because they didn't want to, but because none of the three leaders, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, had children sent to the Yellow Turban School, and it was difficult for them to act without permission, which could easily cause unnecessary conflicts.
On the contrary, Youzhou Gongsun Zan acted independently and did not send his family members to the Yellow Turbans, nor did the powerful Youzhou families under his command do the same.
It's not Gongsun Zannada, but Qingzhou and his old subordinate Tian Kai. Although the two parties have now broken away from the master-slave relationship, the relationship has not become unfamiliar, but has become closer.
With Tian Kai helping to build a good relationship, Gongsun Zan naturally doesn't have to be too deliberate.
As long as he thought about it, it was quite easy to purchase rune instruments from the Yellow Turban Leader. Although the latest type of rune instruments could not be purchased on a large scale, there was no obstacle to purchasing the next-level rune instruments, which was much better than other princes.
But Youzhou is the area that purchases the largest number of rune tools besides Jizhou.
Gongsun Zan did not have enough money in his hands, but he had a sufficient number of cattle, sheep, and horses. The millions of war cavalry led by the Yellow Turbans could only successfully form an army through Youzhou.
Of course, Youzhou has also benefited greatly. With the rune equipment to improve productivity and production efficiency, even if the land and weather are not as good as those in the south and the Central Plains, it can still guarantee two to three crops of food a year. This was something that was never thought of before.
Good things to think about.
In the Youzhou border fortress, as long as you have enough money, food, and prestige, you can easily raise a cavalry team with a size of tens of millions.
With a peerless general like Zhao Yun in command, the children of the Gongsunzan family who are not mediocre, and the cooperation of a group of powerful local children in Youzhou, it can be said that the combat power of the Youzhou army has increased rapidly.
That is to say, compared to the original White Horse Yi Cong, the Youzhou Cavalry at this time was only stronger in terms of combat effectiveness.
There is no other reason than that there are more people and more horses. The number of cavalry that can be supported has increased more than ten times than before.
Of course, Youzhou's current situation is inseparable from the silent support of the Yellow Turban Leaders.
"Youzhou Gongsun Zan is very powerful in his home, but he is particularly powerful against foreigners. Such a guy is willing to deal cruel blows to the foreigners outside the Great Wall. We must not only support him but also give him strong support!"
This is what Lei Hu told his senior civil and military officials when talking about Youzhou: "As long as Gongsun Zan keeps aiming outside the Great Wall, the support of our Yellow Turban collars will be in place. If anyone secretly makes small moves to cause trouble, don't
Blame someone for being so merciless!”
It was precisely because of Lei Hu's solemn instructions that Youzhou's agricultural production exploded in a short period of time. The Yellow Turban collar secretly provided many agricultural experts, and Taiping Taoist priests personally helped.
Absolutely interesting.
Later, when Gongsun Zan learned about the thoughts of Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turban Leader, he saw that the agricultural development of Jizhou was not much worse than that of Youzhou. The key is that Jizhou has great geographical advantages and is the place with the strongest power of the Shijia Group. The prosperity of business is not that of Youzhou.
In contrast, the development of the Jizhou Army was not slow either, so it gave up its thoughts on fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains and focused its attention on the grasslands beyond the Great Wall in the north.
In recent years, the life of the foreigners in the grassland outside the Great Wall in the north has been extremely difficult, and they have been tortured by the tens of millions of Youzhou cavalry under Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan is an expert in cavalry warfare, and he has a good understanding of the foreign races outside the northern wall. He is also a Han (ism) person, and he has sufficient logistical supply support. He also has a peerless general like Zhao Yun sitting in command. How can he be a scattered sand outside the northern wall?
It seems like a foreign race can withstand it.
What Wuwan and Xianbei are like dregs under the torrent of Youzhou’s tens of millions of cavalry troops.
The large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock seized can be exchanged for more runic tools from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Leader.
It can be said that the development of Youzhou at this time has been closely linked to the plundering of aliens. If you want to continue to develop, you must always take a tough stance against the aliens outside the northern wall. Not only must you seize the extremely cold northern grasslands, but you must also lead your troops to attack them.
Spreading all the way north.
Let's put it this way, the Thunder Tigers and the Yellow Turban Leaders just took advantage of the situation and caused heavy losses to the aliens outside the northern wall. Not to mention that they had lost the threat to the colorful country in the Central Plains, but their danger had been reduced to a low point.
If the mountain of Gongsunzan is not moved away, and if the tens of millions of Youzhou cavalry troops are not defeated as the war progresses, it will be difficult for the Yi tribe outside the Great Wall in the north to explode, as their strength will not allow it.
In other words, if this situation continues, the so-called "big change" in the words of Nanhua Lao Dao and the threat from beyond the northern wall will have been basically eliminated.
If we only consider this aspect, the benefits provided by Nan Hua Taoism are really not free.
Even if there is a 'big change' in the near future, and the demon god in Nanhua's old way comes, the aliens outside the northern wall have been tortured to the point of being severely damaged. Even if a big demon king suddenly appears, it will not pose much of a threat to the already torn apart man.
Now that the Youzhou cavalry has reached the area of Ding Ling and Sanhan, its military power is at its peak outside the northern fortress. As long as there is no turmoil within Youzhou, this situation can be maintained for at least tens of hundreds of years.
After such a long period of crazy suppression, even if the Lord of Youzhou becomes the idiots of the Sima family, he will not choose the aliens outside the Great Wall as helpers. Not to mention how much hatred has been accumulated through so many years of killing, the aliens in the northern grassland outside the Great Wall have been weakened.
Even the most powerful one can't stand it.
Lei Hu is naturally happy to see such a situation in Youzhou.
He didn't expect it himself. He just relied on the factors of containing Jizhou and supported Gongsun Zan of Youzhou who was already showing signs of decline. He didn't expect that he would get such a result.
Not to mention the thoughts of the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Yellow Turban Leader, at least he was very satisfied. Naturally, the explicit or covert support given was considerable, which was enough for the Youzhou forces to establish a firm foothold in the grassland beyond the Great Wall in the north...
