"Ma Chao from Xiliang and Liu Qi from Jingzhou are really lucky!"
In the headquarters of Beihai City, the senior officials of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans gathered together, including several high-ranking Taiping Taoist priests. As a guest, Nanhua Taoist had a seat next to Lei Hu. At this time, the internal affairs discussion of the Yellow Turbans had ended. Lei Hu smiled.
Then he mentioned Ma Chao and Liu Qi who were waiting to be received in the guest house.
Speaking of how long he had been in seclusion, the situation in Xiliang had already collapsed to the point where Jin Machao rushed to ask for help, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
This person's reputation is not very good. In the official history, whether he directly tricked me and a bunch of relatives to death, or he had a big fight with Lao Cao and lost his pants, or in the end he voted for Liu Dal'er and died in depression, in short, he is a big guy.
Most of the words "miserable" are self-inflicted.
As for Liu Qi, he is a tragic child.
His experience clearly explains what it means to be a child without a mother.
The two of them came together and formed a team of brothers in need, which is quite interesting to think about.
"Big Chief, should we join the war in Xiliang?"
Taishi Ci asked: "If you want to participate, you have to take action as soon as possible. The war in Xiliang is expected to end soon!"
"Yes, then Cao Cao is indeed fierce enough!"
Lei Hu sighed: "It has only been a short time, and Cao's army has swept through Guanzhong and seized most of Xiliang. It won't take long to become the overlord of the northwest!"
"That was only possible with the help of our rune tools!"
Wu Anguo said with a smile: "Otherwise, the Xiliang Allied Army alone has more than 100 million cavalry, which is enough to give Cao Jun a good drink. How could it sweep across the entire northwest so quickly?"
"Of course, Cao Cao's ability is also quite powerful. He can quickly become the hegemon of the northwest in such a short period of time, which is no worse than Yuan Shao!"
Tai Shici sighed: "Right now, the Xiliang coalition forces can only huddle on the ground and linger. Even if we want to help, we have to spend some effort!"
"Why bother?"
Guan Hai said unhappily: "Just use the flying talisman vehicle troops and everything can be solved!"
"You can't say that!"
Wu Anguo disagreed and said: "For the remnants of the Xiliang coalition army, using the flying talisman vehicle troops is too trivial?"
"Isn't it said that it is difficult to rescue?"
Guan Hai said angrily: "We have air superiority. Even if the Xiliang coalition forces only occupy one village, we can rush there in time if we need rescue!"
"There's no need for that!"
Taishi Ci shook his head repeatedly and said: "Don't we always adhere to the policy of non-participation? If we send flying troops to intervene forcibly, I am afraid it will trigger a chain reaction!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Guan Hai said disapprovingly: "Our strength is enough to overwhelm the world, but we are still afraid that those princes will dare to overturn the world?"
"You can't say that!"
Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and said: "If we really want to take action, we must show that we will not remain aloof. By then, all the princes in the world will probably unite against us!"
These words were more serious. Although Guan Hai looked dissatisfied, he did not continue the argument.
The civil servants present did not participate in the debate. The high-level structure of the Yellow Turban Territory was different from that of other vassal territories. The general group was the most powerful, while the civil servant group simply did not have the guts to fight.
Of course, the power and voice of the Taiping Taoist Group are increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, a group of Taiping Taoist masters only like to immerse themselves in the study of spells and have little interest in competing for the voice of the Yellow Turban leaders.
Regardless of whether the general group gains power or the civilian group turns around, in the end they have to rely on the power of the Taiping Taoist Group. The current Yellow Turban collar cannot do without the assistance of the Taiping Taoist Group.
"Okay, no need to argue!"
Lei Hu spoke at this time and said with a smile: "It's still the old rule. We don't get involved in the world's disputes. There is no need at all. Is the current situation very good?"
"Big boss, if Ma Chao asks for help face to face, how should he respond?"
Taishi Ci asked: "We have always adhered to the neutral position and aloofness. Since the big leader is willing to meet Ma Chao, he will obviously express his opinion!"
"That's natural!"
Lei Hu was not pretentious and said with a smile: "I have my own plans and will not embarrass everyone!"
Well, since the big leader has said so, the high-level civil and military leaders of the Yellow Turbans present naturally have no objections.
In other words, the Yellow Turban Leader neither strives for hegemony nor claims to be king, but upholds a neutral and aloof position. It is all managed by the big leader. He would not break the existing policy of the Yellow Turban Leader just for the sake of a mere Ma Chao.
It's just that the civil and military officials present were very curious. Since the big leader agreed to meet Ma Chao, he obviously wanted to help him. If the Yellow Turban Leader couldn't send troops, they couldn't figure out how the Xiliang Allied Forces could survive?
If you don’t understand, then put it aside for now.
"I wonder what you think of Liu Qi's trip to the Yellow Turban?"'
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Lei Hu directly changed the subject and asked: "It seems that the situation in Jingzhou is not yet to the point where we need to ask for help, right?"
"Yes big boss!"
Zhang Baiqi, who was in charge of intelligence collection, came out and said: "Although Yuan Shao's Jizhou army intends to attack Jingzhou, I don't think they will start fighting within a year!"
"Oh, how did you estimate it?"
Lei Hu asked curiously: "Could it be that there is trouble within Jizhou?"
The big boss is the big boss, and his sense of smell is indeed very sensitive.
Zhang Baiqi nodded, smiled and gloated, and curled his lips and said: "Yuan Benchu's adult sons are not stopping, and they are forming cliques in private to create a mess. That is to say, the youngest and most valued son Yuan Shang is studying in the Yellow Turban and can't get rid of it.
Get out of your way, otherwise the situation will only become more lively!"
"Why, the conflict between Yuan Shao's sons has become public?"
Lei Hu was a little surprised and said curiously: "That shouldn't be the case. Yuan Shao is not so confused, right?"
"That's not the case!"
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "The big boss doesn't know that although the conflicts between Yuan Shao's adult sons have not been made public, it is an open secret that they dislike each other and they are at odds with each other. It's just that they didn't make the fuss in front of Yuan Shao!"
At this point, he paused and continued: "I don't know if Yuan Benzhu noticed it or not. In short, I didn't hear him take any repressive actions. His sons are quite noisy!"
"That won't affect the attack on Jingzhou!"
Lei Hu said curiously: "Jingzhou is a rare and wealthy place under the governance of Liu Biao. It is impossible for Yuan Shao and the civil and military forces of Jizhou not to see this!"
"What the big leader doesn't know is that the trouble in Jizhou is not just a conflict between Yuan Benchu's sons, but also a fierce fight between aristocratic families to carve up new profits!"
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "Let's not talk about Yuzhou. It was defeated by Yuan Jiujiao. The power of the big families there has withered to pieces. Even if they have some ideas, they can't fight against the Jizhou family colleagues. But over there in Bingzhou
The aristocratic families and powerful people are not vegetarians!"
"Jinyang Wang family?"
Lei Hu immediately reacted and asked curiously: "How long has it been since Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army captured Bingzhou before the Jinyang Wang family had the courage to participate in the division of interests within the Jizhou Group?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Baiqi explained with a smile: "The aristocratic families in Bingzhou are not weak, especially the aristocratic families in Hedong are very powerful. After being merged into Yuan Benchu's power, they will naturally have to compete for resources with the local aristocratic families in Jizhou!"
"Whether it is Yuzhou or Nanyang, they are both rare and wealthy areas. The apprentices there are fertile and rich in various resources. As long as they can be developed rationally, the resources that can be harvested will be a very nutritious supplement for the aristocratic family!"
"The big leader may not know. The situation our spies have found out shows that even Jingzhou is in the carve-up ranks of these aristocratic families and is making a big fuss. Even Yuan Benchu's personal suppression has no effect. The benefits are so exciting!"
"So, Jingzhou Liu Biao has to thank the Jizhou Group for the internal chaos!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "Even if that's the case, there's no need to send Liu Qi to us. Isn't it obvious to everyone in Jingzhou that Liu Biao has no confidence in keeping Jingzhou?"
"The chief has misunderstood. Although Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao, life in Jingzhou is not easy at all. The fight for the successor even puts his life in danger!"
Obviously, Zhang Baiqi knew the situation in Jingzhou very well and said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou's current wife is the legitimate daughter of the Cai family in Jingzhou. Her second son, Liu Cong, has received strong support from the Jingzhou Family Group. Liu Qi is
The eldest son born to my ex-wife can be said to be alone in Jingzhou!"
"Oh, then, when Liu Qi came to our place this time, it was Liu Biao who protected his eldest son and kept him out of the whirlpool and danger in Jingzhou?"
Lei Hu nodded and said with a smile: "This move is pretty good!"
laugh……
Zhang Baiqi laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "The big leader guessed wrong. Liu Biao is not so kind to his eldest son. Liu Qi is a transparent person in Jingzhou. As long as his life is not endangered, Liu Biao will ignore him at all."
!”
"Then why did Liu Qi come to us?"
Lei Hu said amusedly: "Isn't this just a pretense to avoid disaster?"
"It's probably because someone couldn't see it and gave me some advice secretly!"
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "Liu Qi's temperament is weak, and he is not the type to fight for power and gain. After all, he is the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou. It is understandable that there are some capable people around him!"
really!
Although Jizhou Group is experiencing internal commotion and has temporarily postponed its move into Jingzhou, Jingzhou is still full of crises.
Yuan Shao's Jizhou army is very powerful, and it is not for nothing that they are called the No. 1 prince in the North. Especially with the help of a large number of runes and equipment, the Jizhou army's combat power is quite strong, and Jingzhou simply has no ability or strength to resist.
For Liu Qi, the eldest son of Zhou Mu with a gentle personality, his situation at this time can be described as internal and external troubles. He might as well just jump out of the big whirlpool of Jingzhou. In any case, as long as Liu Biao is still around, his days in the Yellow Turban Leader will be over.
