Chapter 643: I Choose to Go East
Piracy detected! Qiu Ming's face gradually became serious: "Zhang Shi is just a small person, you don't need to worry too much, right?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head slowly: "It's not about this person, but in this position, Dengzhou is under the direct management of Nanyang, and Wancheng is a hundred miles away from Dengzhou, you can control the county order of Dengzhou, but it is impossible to control Nanyang Taishou." In the past, although Qin Jie and we didn't like each other, we finally didn't tear our faces. And Sun Jian's people don't have these concerns, right? ”
Qiu Ming's face was cloudy, in fact, with Deng Zhou's current financial resources and the consistent style of the Son of Heaven, it was entirely possible for him to buy Nanyang Taishou's official position in advance. It's just that he knows that Nanyang will become the starting place of Yuan Shu in the future, and he is not sure or necessary to fight with the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes. In Qiu Ming's heart, he didn't have the intention of learning from Sun Ce to borrow troops from Yuan Shu, but now that Chen Gong has done things badly, he has already offended Yuan Shu, and it is estimated that even if he has a jade seal, he will not be able to borrow troops.
Qiu Ming said: "No one would have thought that Zhao Ci would actually assassinate Qin Jie, which made us very passive." However, my direct boss is He Pan, Nanyang Taishou is still separated by one layer after all, Qin Jie couldn't do anything with me before, this Zhang Zhi shouldn't be too difficult to deal with, in short, let's take one step at a time. You just said that this is the first hidden danger, are there any others? ”
Guo Jia continued: "The second hidden danger is falling on He Pan. Although this person has been quiet, he is a real powerful character. ”
Before Qiu Ming could speak, Wei Yan laughed: "And the county order? What's so great about him? With my ironclad cavalry here, tell him to go east and not dare to go west, has anyone in Dengzhou taken him seriously in the past two years? That is, a bodhisattva in the temple, clay sculpture and wood carving. ”
Guo Jia looked at Wei Yan coldly, and it was not until Wei Yan felt that he felt bad and suppressed his laughter before he spoke again: "Before we arrived in Dengzhou, more than a dozen county officials were changed here, and the county order and Pan were as stable as Mount Tai; After we arrived in Dengzhou, He Pan was almost completely elevated into a puppet, but he was so peaceful that he didn't even make a small move. If it's not so powerful, how can there be any powerful people? At present, we are powerful, so He Pan has been forbearing, if we suddenly lose our momentum, or suffer some big defeat, he will launch with the dignity of a county, just afraid that everything we have now will be taken away by him. ”
Wei Yan was furious: "Take it away? He came to try it, the steel gun in my hand is not vegetarian. ”
Qiu Ming nodded: "He Pan is a wolf hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to expose our wounds, I have always known this. But he behaved so meekly, and I took his power again, and I was too embarrassed to force him again. I have my own measure in this matter, so, are there any other hidden dangers in Dengzhou? ”
"What Fang just said is just some internal troubles, just like people with dark diseases, only asking for medical advice, or curing poison and digging sores, will not pose any threat to life. However, a threat from the outside is like a sword, and if you don't deal with it well, you can die at any time. ”
Qiu Ming continued to nod: "Yes, Sun Jian is now in his wings, and he is indeed a big threat. ”
Guo Jia smiled: "Is it only Sun Jian?" In the past two years, you have fought in the east and west, and you have made a lot of enemies. There are Nanhua Laoxian in the north, Qiang rebels in the west, Sun Jian in the south, Hefei Hou in the east, and recently provoked Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai. ”
Qiu Ming was silent, but Wei Yan said: "Yes, sometimes I really can't see what you think, after fighting the west and fighting the east, and after fighting the north and fighting the south, you have made enemies everywhere, and you haven't seen any benefits." After fighting for so many years, only three hundred of my five hundred ironclad cavalry remained, alas. ”
Tyumen wanted to say that every time he sent troops, he was forced to do so, and it wasn't that he wanted to fight because he was reckless. However, in the past two years, the ironclad cavalry has indeed been consumed a lot, and it has not been properly replenished, and it is really worth the loss. He opened his mouth and asked: "Fengxiao, don't sell Guanzi, what do you think, just say it all, don't be so spitting and spitting people's appetites." ”
Guo Jia glanced at Qiu Ming: "I still say the same thing, in the past, everyone only wanted to be a county magistrate in Dengzhou if you didn't have big ambitions." Whether you play or make trouble, it's all up to you. Now that you have spoken wildly, you must devise a strategy, and you can no longer be as chaotic as before. ”
Qiu Ming said hurriedly: "They all said don't sell Guanzi, what do you want me to do?" ”
Guo Jia thought for a while before saying: "Since our hidden dangers have both internal and external aspects, then we will also start to prepare from both internal and external aspects. First of all, we must realize that the Han dynasty cannot be revived, and major events cannot be rushed. Although the astrological signs show that the world will be chaotic, there are still three or five years of peace, and in these three or five years, we must develop as soon as possible, expand the number of troops, recruit talents, and try to arrange people who can be like-minded with us to the right positions. For example, Wei Yan, now that Nanyang Taishou has been replaced, many official positions will definitely be vacant, and he can be given a position as a county lieutenant, and it will be convenient for us to raise soldiers in the future. ”
Qiu Ming suddenly remembered that Wen Ping, who was still in Wancheng, now that Qin Jie is dead and his backer has fallen, should he go and settle old accounts with him?
Guo Jia didn't see Qiu Ming wandering out of the world again, and continued: "Dengzhou County Commander This position, if you don't want to do it, don't leave it to He Pan, Chen Zhen or Sun Qian are good candidates." However, looking at the appearance of Hepan, it should not be automatically given up, and other ways need to be found. Fortunately, as long as we don't make mistakes, Hepan should continue to hibernate for the time being, and it won't cause us too much trouble, so we can slowly try to figure it out. ”
Wei Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't speak, and waved his hand for Guo Jia to continue.
"At present, our strength is still very weak, it is really not appropriate to make too many enemies, the five in the southeast and northwest that I just said, it is estimated that we can only focus on dealing with one or two of them, do you have any ideas?"
Qiu Ming's heart immediately calculated, Nanhua Old Immortal is the body of the earth immortal, he can burn incense if he doesn't come to himself, Qiu Ming will never dare to go to his trouble; It seems that the Qiang rebels will make trouble for a few more years, and Xiliang is Dong Zhuo's territory, and he can't afford to provoke it; Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, who are a little familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, know that they have lived a very nourishing life in the past few years, and Qiu Ming never thought that his life could be better than these two.
Then, the only thing left is the Marquis of Hefei, and it's strange to say, Qiuming can be regarded as having read through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I've never heard of this person, maybe he was killed before he entered the historical record, right? Thinking of this, Qiu Ming's heart was settled, and he smiled: "If I had to choose, I would choose to go east and deal with the Marquis of Hefei." ”
