Three Kingdoms

Affected by the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the momentum of Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou has begun to spread again, which gives Zhang Miao a headache. Although Zhang Miao is still the prefect of Chenliu now, his brother's prefect of Guangling was replaced by another person appointed by Xuzhou Mu.

"This old man!" Zhang Chao felt a little itchy when he talked about this matter.

When discussing an alliance with Dong Suanzao, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian excused himself from illness and asked Yuan Kui's Tai Fu Yuan Sui to run around to contact him, pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know, and then recovered well after Zhang Chao led his troops away. After recovering, he took advantage of the situation and took over the position of Guangling Prefect and waited to see what would happen.

Now seeing that the Jujube Alliance had aborted, the emperor was moved westward, and the Shandong Allied Forces obviously had no intention of making progress after several defeats, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian was naturally not polite and cut Zhang Chao in the name of leaving the territory without authorization. Zhang Chao's position as prefect makes it possible for Zhang Chao to stay temporarily in Zhang Miao's territory.

Zhang Miao frowned. These words can be said once, but nagging them all the time is meaningless: "Meng Gao, please be patient. I have also written to Yuan Cheqi, and I will have a reply soon."

When choosing between Liu Dai and Er Yuan, Zhang Miao prefers Er Yuan; among the two Yuan, Zhang Miao feels that Yuan Shao is better than Yuan Shu.

Zhang Miao really couldn't tell the reason at the moment, but in his feeling, Yuan Shao seemed to be more kind and reliable...

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

What Zhang Miao is worried about now is not Zhang Chao's position, but Cao Cao. There are still some counties without prefects, but it's just a matter of geography. As long as Zhang Chao is not too picky, there won't be any big problems, but Cao Cao is different now. Dongjun is close at hand... …

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

There is nothing wrong with this.

But now Cao Cao has gone from being affiliated to a party to becoming a force. This feeling is like that the little brother next to me has now become a boss on equal footing with me...

"Meng Gao, what do you think of Meng De?" Zhang Miao said.

Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, slightly confused as to what Zhang Miao meant.

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

Zhang Miao's words are already obvious. Now Liu Yanzhou has appointed the prefect of Dongjun, and Yuan Cheqi has also appointed the prefect of Dongjun. There is bound to be a fight between the two real and fake prefects. Who is the real one and who is the fake one? Who really has this name? Leader, who is the truly reasonable and legitimate successor is no longer the most important issue, but who can survive in the end.

Therefore there must be a fight between the two.

Just like the real and fake Monkey King in Journey to the West in later generations, in fact, the Buddha did not necessarily know who was real and who was fake, but since the skills were the same, as long as one of them accompanied him to the West to obtain scriptures...

Does authenticity matter?

The one who survives is naturally the real one.

Zhang Chao thought for a while and then said: "Mengde was ordered by Yuan Cheqi after all..." Not to mention that Liu Dai's nose is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes, but now he relies on Yuan Shao for his official position. , are you going to turn your back and attack the people sent by Yuan Shao?

Of course, the questions Zhang Miao asked were far more than simple on the surface.

But it's a pity that Zhang Chao was not able to fully understand it.

Zhang Miao lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhang Chao slightly, and remained silent.

Forget it, it’s better to make up your own mind. This clan brother’s ability is not bad, but he is still slightly lacking in intelligence. Otherwise, he would not be easily fooled by that old man in Xuzhou...

The point of the problem is not Liu Dai or Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao!

This Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, is not a person who can make people worry. He is jumping up and down in Suanzao, agitating to march to Luoyang. Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, who doesn't know what he was bewitched, actually came to persuade him. After consideration, Zhang Miao agreed to send part of his troops to Cao Cao.

Then what?

Defeat Bianshui.

After Cao Cao came back, he showed no shame at all. Instead, he went around to promote the "Kwantung Allied Forces' Drinking Party", as if it was because of the Allied Forces' drinking that Cao Cao fought alone until he was defeated...

Didn't you, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, take a sip when you were buying wine?

What's more, Bao Xin listened to Cao Cao's instigation, resulting in a disastrous defeat and the loss of troops. Didn't he say something? On the contrary, Cao Cao, who was following Bao Xin, had so many words?

Therefore, everyone did not give Cao Cao a good look, and Cao Cao left in despair...

I didn't expect it to be back now.

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

Originally, Cao Cao was a member of the Chenliu family, so Zhang Miao took care of him in many ways. Not only did he avoid being pursued by the court, he was also able to recruit troops in his hometown. Strictly speaking, Zhang Miao could be regarded as Cao Cao's superior, but as a subordinate, Cao Cao did too much. Use force...

It was like this when I was the captain of the city gate in Luoyang, and it was like this when I was the prime minister of Jinan. I didn't expect that it would still be like this after the coalition forces. I just don't know if it will still be like this in Dongjun next time?

Now Cao Cao has broken away from Zhang Miao's relationship and is attached to Yuan Shao's thigh...

Zhang Miao had no problem with Yuan Shao's legs being thicker than his own, but the problem was that when Cao Cao left him and joined Yuan Shao, he didn't even say hello, which made Zhang Miao a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Chao himself has a straightforward personality and ignored Zhang Miao's silence. Instead, he was minding his own business and flipping through the Di newspaper delivered from the nearest station.

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

Qingzhou produces sea salt. Although the navigation technology in the Han Dynasty was not very strong, and there were still a few people sailing to the sea for fishing, salt was naturally a profitable thing. Over time, there were many salt merchants in Qingzhou, in order to evade national taxes and Due to the oppression of the government, many desperadoes naturally took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and roamed the countryside.

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

Zhang Miao glanced at it and said: "Nine bandits from ten houses in Qingzhou... um..."

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