Chapter 238: Zhao Yun's opposition
So, with this thinking: Why didn't Guo Jia say anything in the letter? That's because he can't say it clearly. What's hard to say? Well, even if you didn't think of it at first, you can think of it now.
No wonder Guo Jia dared to send a letter directly and simply for such a big thing, it turned out that he was confident that others would not be able to catch him at all! Guo Jia may be able to be a mentor with divergent thinking, or to be precise, a counselor who tempts crimes, because the former student has figured out the key is the credit of the mentor, while the latter criminal has come up with a means, and the consultant is determined to clear the relationship!
And now, in order to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Xi Zhicai personally went to the front line to find Cao Ying, that is to say, now this matter has been fixed on Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai also disdains to do Guo Jia's kind of cover-up behavior, Xi Zhicai must take the initiative and even use all his strength to promote all this!
Then at that time, all the spearheads will definitely be focused on Xi Zhicai, and maybe even the resentment of those powerful people against Xi Zhicai will be on top of Cao Ying! And with Xi Zhicai and Cao Ying's understanding of Guo Jia, with Guo Jia's cheekiness, when the time comes, not to mention jumping out to help, it is estimated that Guo Jia will pretend to stand on the opposite side, and make a look of thinking about the powerful and trying his best to fight for their interests.
"First of all, on the surface, we reclaim wasteland on the grounds of tuntian, but in fact, we directly seize the empty cultivated land now, distribute these good lands to the old and weak women and children in the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, cough cough, and provide them with cattle, tools, seedlings, etc., which can be directly put into production, enough to sustain their livelihoods. As for the 300,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army, they only need to draw their elites, and the remaining miscellaneous soldiers really let them go to Tuntian to reclaim wasteland. ”
Obviously, although Xi Zhicai's thinking is extreme, the method is still quite comprehensive, rather than letting Cao Ying directly confront those big families. The so-called Tuntian, at this time, is just a transfer of contradictions, so that uninformed people think that Cao Ying is how to feed all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but in fact, he uses the ready-made cultivated land of the family.
After all, the newly reclaimed land will definitely not yield high, and it will be very labor-intensive, if you want Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to surrender with confidence, and if you want them to live and work in peace and contentment, it must provide them with a good enough life. And as soon as it comes, it will be effective, and it will not make people feel that it is a blank check, so we can only give Qingzhou Yellow Turban good arable land, at least the kind of field that the old and weak women and children can cultivate normally!
Then the 300,000 army is not so easy to raise, and the key is that its combat effectiveness is only 100,000, so draw out the elite, and the rest will be used as reserve soldiers, and really arrange for them to go to Tuntian, and these people have more strength than the old and weak women and children, and they have the ability to open up the wasteland. Although the yield may not be high at first, self-sufficiency should be enough. It can not only be used for others to see, but also to raise troops, and it can barely be regarded as not wasting training, and can be converted into a combat force at any time when necessary. This is already the prototype of a kind of military tun.
"And second, the families of these Qingzhou Yellow Turbans must be scattered throughout Yanzhou! Ahem, on the one hand, the land occupied in this way can also be dispersed, and the contradictions will not be too concentrated, so that those people can still accept although they complain; The two are also to prevent the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Society from causing trouble again, not only the problem that these family members may cause trouble, because people are scattered, it is not easy to get together again, and those Yellow Turban Army who have been incorporated have scruples, and it is impossible to rebel again; The three can also let the people from all over Yanzhou see with their own eyes that these so-called yellow turban thieves are not terrible and vicious, cough cough, under normal circumstances, they are all law-abiding and even poor citizens. In this way, everyone's misunderstanding can be gradually resolved, and slowly no one will care about the identity of these people who used to be yellow turban thieves. Then our act of recruiting the Yellow Turban Army can also be understood and supported by more people. ”
"Also, if these Qingzhou yellow scarves really live a good life from now on, they will definitely be like saviors, grateful to the lord. Ahem, then they are scattered everywhere, not only can they spread the kindness of the lord, but at the same time, if there is any accident and where there is a rebellion, then these Qingzhou yellow turbans may become the key to our future counterinsurgency! ”
Xi Zhicai said one by one, listening to Cao Ying's eyes shining from time to time, Cao Ying naturally thought of some of the key points, but what Xi Zhicai said was obviously more detailed and more perfect. Sure enough, the "professionals" who really came up with this method and studied it carefully are different!
Maybe after seeing Guo Jia's letter before, Cao Ying had already decided to act according to this method, but at this moment, after listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, Cao Ying really strengthened his belief. Cao Ying is not Yuan Shao, once he really decides something, he will not hesitate anymore, it is estimated that no one will be able to change his mind at this time.
Just when Xi Zhicai was about to speak, a young general suddenly broke in from outside, "Lord, I heard that you plan to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?!" ”
Cao Ying didn't need to look to know that the person who came was Zhao Yun who had recently made Cao Ying love and hate! In order to allow his generals to be mentally prepared in advance, Cao Ying faintly conveyed the news that he was preparing to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army before.
As Cao Ying expected, sure enough, Zhao Yun came to the door.
When Zhao Yun entered the door and saw Xi Zhicai, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Could it be that something happened in Dongjun?!" ”
"Zilong doesn't need to worry, Dongjun has no problems at all, otherwise I wouldn't be so stable now. Zhicai came over this time for another important matter, well, he was talking about the surrender of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, maybe Zilong could also come to listen to Zhicai's opinion. Cao Ying reassured, hoping that Xi Zhicai's reasoning could convince Zhao Yun.
As a result, Zhao Yun got the exact news that he was going to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and immediately shouted, "Lord! Have you forgotten how General Bao Xin died?! ”
This is exactly what makes Cao Ying a headache, Cao Ying feels that Zhao Yun may be too young, although he has good military talent, but he is also too righteous and too self-willed. For example, Bao Xin, obviously he was not familiar with Zhao Yun before, and he didn't even have anything to do with it, but because he saw Bao Xin's sacrifice to save Cao Ying, Zhao Yun was determined to help General Bao Xin avenge his hatred!
Guo Jia has long seen through this, Zhao Yun's justice is irrelevant people and things, he will care, even if Guo Jia makes a mistake, Zhao Yun will only stand on the side of justice, not on Guo Jia's side; And Dian Wei's chivalry is more based on personal preference, if Guo Jia, who has now called him a brother, is in trouble, no matter who is right or wrong, Dian Wei will stand by Guo Jia's side.
Therefore, Cao Ying's behavior of forgetting hatred for the sake of profit is difficult for Zhao Yun to accept. So as soon as he got the news that Cao Ying was going to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yun immediately came over.
