Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 647 Can afford it but can't let it go

  Affected by the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the momentum of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou has begun to flood again, which makes Zhang Miao a headache. Although Zhang Miao is still the prefect of Chenliu, his younger brother, the prefect of Guangling, was appointed by Xuzhou Mu to replace him.

   "This old man!" Zhang Chao's teeth itch when he mentioned this matter.

When discussing Dong Suanzao League before, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou excused his illness, and asked Yuan Kui's Tai Fu, Yuan Sui, to run around and make contact, pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know, and then he just recovered after Zhang Chao led his troops away. After recovering, he took the post of Guangling prefect into his hands and waited and watched.

Seeing that the Suanzao League was aborted, the emperor was moved westward, and the Shandong coalition army obviously had no intention of making progress after several defeats, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was naturally not polite, so he cut Zhang Chao in the name of leaving his territory without permission. Zhang Chao's prefect position made Zhang Chao only temporarily stay in Zhang Miao's territory.

  Zhang Miao frowned. It’s fine to say these words once, and it’s meaningless to babble all the time: “Meng Gao, don’t be impatient. I also wrote to Yuan Cheqi, and there will be an answer in a few days.”

  Choosing between Liu Dai and Er Yuan, Zhang Miao prefers Er Yuan; among the Er Yuan, Zhang Miao thinks Yuan Shao is better than Yuan Shu.

   Want to talk about the reason, Zhang Miao really can’t say it for a while, but in his feeling, it seems that Yuan Shao is more kind and more reliable...

But there is a word "Meng" in Zhang Miao's character, so in fact this is just a subconscious choice of Zhang Miao. If you just look at the geographical location, it is obvious that Chenliu, where Zhang Miao is located, is also close to Yuzhou. No matter how arrogant Yuan Shu is, he will welcome him to seek refuge.

   Now Zhang Miao is not worried about Zhang Chao's position, but Cao Cao. There are still some counties and counties without prefects, but the geography is good or bad. As long as Zhang Chao is not too picky, there is still no big problem, but Cao Cao is not the same now, Dongjun is close at hand...

  Cao Cao is Zhang Miao's friend, and the relationship is pretty good.

   There is nothing wrong with that.

  But now Cao Cao has changed from being attached to a party, and has a tendency to become a party. This kind of feeling is like the younger brother who used to be by my side, but now he has become a big boss who is equal to him...

   "Meng Gao, how do you view Meng De?" Zhang Miao said.

  Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Zhang Miao meant.

  Zhang Miao said slowly: "Liu Yanzhou is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. If Mengde is based in Dongjun, he will definitely compete with Liu Yanzhou..."

Zhang Miao's words are already obvious. Now that Liu Yanzhou has appointed the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Cheqi has also appointed the prefect of Dongjun. The head, who is the real reasonable and legal successor is no longer the most important issue, but to see who can survive in the end.

  Therefore there must be a struggle between the two.

  Like the true and false Monkey King in the later Journey to the West, in fact, the Buddha does not necessarily know who is real and who is false, but since the skills are the same, as long as one of them goes to the West to learn scriptures with him...

  Is it important to be true or false?

  The one that survived is naturally the real one.

Zhang Chao thought for a while, and then said: "Meng De was ordered by Yuan Cheqi after all..." Leaving aside Liu Dai's nose is not a nose, eyes are not eyes, but now his official position depends on Yuan Shao, Could it be that he turned his back on the people sent by Yuan Shao?

  Of course, the question Zhang Miao asked was far more than that simple on the surface.

   But it's a pity that Zhang Chao didn't fully understand.

  Zhang Miao lowered his eyes, took a slight glance at Zhang Chao, and remained silent.

  Forget it, let’s make up our own minds, this brother’s ability is not bad, but he still lacks in intelligence, otherwise he wouldn’t be easily fooled by that old man in Xuzhou…

  The point of the question is not Liu Dai, nor Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao!

This Cao Cao Cao Mengde is not a person who can make people feel at ease. He is jumping up and down in Suanzao, agitating to march into Luoyang. Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, does not know why he was bewitched by him, so he came to persuade himself together. After consideration, Zhang Miao still agreed to send part of his troops to Cao Cao.

and then?

  The army was defeated in Bianshui.

  After Cao Cao came back, he didn’t feel ashamed. Instead, he went around promoting the "Kwantung Allied Forces' Daily Wine Gathering", as if it was because the Allied Forces set up wine that Cao Cao fought alone to defeat...

  Could it be that you, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, didn't take a sip when you prepared the wine before?

   What's more, Bao Xin listened to Cao Cao's instigation, resulting in a disastrous defeat, loss of soldiers and generals, didn't he say something? On the contrary, Cao Cao, who followed Bao Xin, had so many words?

  So everyone didn't give Cao Cao any good looks, so Cao Cao also left in despair...

   I didn't expect to come back now.

   In a sense, Cao Cao has changed his family now.

Originally Cao Cao was a member of Chenliu, and Zhang Miao took care of him in many ways. Not only could he avoid being chased by the court, but he could also recruit soldiers in his hometown. hard...

  It was the same when Luoyang was the captain of the city gate, and it was the same when he was the prime minister of Jinan. I didn't expect it to be the same after the coalition forces, but I don't know if it will be the same in Dongjun in the future?

  The current Cao Cao is equivalent to breaking away from Zhang Miao's relationship and getting on Yuan Shao's thigh...

  Yuan Shao's legs are thicker than his own. Zhang Miao has no objection to this, but the problem is that Cao Cao didn't even say hello when he left him to join Yuan Shao, which made Zhang Miao a little reluctant.

  Zhang Chao himself has a straightforward temperament, so he ignored Zhang Miao's silence, but he was looking through the mansion newspaper delivered by the nearest post station.

  Zhang Chao held a copy of the mansion newspaper, shook his head and said: "Qingzhou is so corrupt..."

Qingzhou produces sea salt. Although the navigation technology in the Han Dynasty was not too strong, there were still fewer fishing in the sea, but salt was naturally a huge profit. Over time, there were many salt merchants in Qingzhou. The oppression of the government naturally took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to gather a lot of desperadoes, running across the countryside.

  This is also one of the reasons why the Yellow Turbans in other areas have been pacified, but Qingzhou seems to be getting worse. This means that although Qingzhou has become a mess, some big counties in Qingzhou can still live as usual, and merchants who go to Qingzhou to sell salt can still leave...

  Zhang Miao took a glance and said, "Nine bandits in ten rooms in Qingzhou...um..."

  Zhang Miao suddenly had a vague idea in his heart...

   Romance of the Three Kingdoms is fragmented...

   One is that the regime was broken at that time, and the central government was weak for a long time...

   There are many historical events that were covered up after the unification...

   It is even said that Shu has no history...

   According to Zhuge's temperament, he must care about everything, so...

   Therefore, after a long time, sometimes it is said that it will be decrypted after a period of time, but those who really want to know often will never wait for the day of decryption...

   Perhaps it should be said the other way around, until all the people in the world are not interested in this truth before decrypting it...
