Chapter 580: Seeking Qingzhou in the East
Among the four-way expeditionary armies of the Northern Expedition, the Western Expedition, the Eastern Expedition, and the Southern Expedition, the third one to reach the battlefield was Liu Bei.
Originally, Liu Bei didn't care about the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, thinking that even if even the three generals of heaven, earth and people were killed by them, even if these remnants were fierce in Qingzhou, they were just a gang of rabble.
And when he arrived in Qingzhou, he found that this was indeed the case, most of these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were old and weak women and children, even if they were the main soldiers of the young and middle-aged, many of them were unarmed, sharpened with bamboo and wood to make weapons, and they were all sick and sick with no clothes and food, and thin muscles and yellow skin on the abdomen.
But the rabble is a rabble, I am afraid that no matter how many remnants of such a yellow turban are, Liu Bei, who is a general of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and has three million regular soldiers under his command, can easily break through these rabble.
However, what Liu Bei didn't expect was that it was indeed easy to break through these remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but it would be quite difficult to completely eradicate them.
These Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army are in collusion with many local people, so they can easily grasp Liu Beijun's movements, and can quickly gather and disperse, and it is difficult for Liu Bei to catch them.
As for the people who colluded with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, it is not easy to find out, and it is even more impossible to end a nest.
Liu Bei did not say that he himself implemented the policy of benevolence and love for the people, but said that he himself represented the imperial army, and he could not implement the three-light policy like a devil entering the village.
Moreover, although there are many factions in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army can be defeated one by one, but this also makes it difficult to completely exterminate it, destroying one after another, which is like whack-a-mole, and it is quite difficult to finish it.
So soon, Liu Bei began to be exhausted, and his troops became unable to make ends meet.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaobai gave Liu Bei a clever plan, and at this time, Liu Bei immediately opened the bag without saying a word.
This time, Qin Xiaobai's strategy for Liu Bei was very simple. It's not even a military strategy or anything like that, but a general strategic approach.
There are four sentences in total, borrowing troops from Youzhou, borrowing grain from Xuzhou, coercion and temptation, and collecting the remnants.
Of course, this is also Qin Xiaobai's reference to the historical situation, and then plagiarized it again......
The first is to borrow troops from Youzhou and borrow grain from Xuzhou.
Historically, when Liu Bei was messing with Gongsun Zhan. asked Gongsun Zhan to borrow 3,000 elite soldiers, and Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong rescued Beihai Xiang Kongrong.
Now it is not difficult to let Liu Bei borrow some soldiers from his old classmates.
Later, after Liu Bei went to Xuzhou, Tao Qian directly gave Liu Bei the land of Yizhou.
Of course, the situation at that time was different from this moment, but it can also be seen that Tao Qian was definitely kind and generous, and Xuzhou was before being destroyed by Cao Jun. It is also a land rich in fish and salt, and there is still plenty of grain and grass, as long as Liu Bei borrows it, he can always borrow some more or less.
And coercion and inducement. To collect the remnants, you can refer to the history when Cao Mengde attacked Qingzhou, the carrot and the stick not only allowed him to pacify the chaos in Qingzhou. And it has also harvested the Qingzhou soldiers, which have always been strong.
Therefore, as long as Liu Bei has soldiers and food in his hands, plus coercion and temptation. It will definitely be able to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou to pacify Qingzhou.
Of course, these are only theoretically feasible, and whether they are actually implemented depends on Liu Daer's own ability.
……
And Liu Daer did not disappoint Qin Xiaobai, although he was a little puzzled about Qin Xiaobai's strategic policy at first, after all, he was familiar with Gongsun Zhan, and he was not familiar with Tao Qian, so why should people lend him grain and grass.
And the surrender of the Qingzhou soldiers does not seem to be reliable, the Qingzhou soldiers surrender or not, surrender, this group of rabble who can only fight guerrillas, can only waste grain and grass and become a burden.
But Liu Bei, like Cao Apu, is a hardcore Qin fan, and he is naturally the same as Cao Mengde, even if he doesn't understand it, he feels very powerful, just do it.
And the result of doing so was that Liu Bei found that Qin Xiaobai's method was really useful.
The old classmate Gongsun Chan was really righteous enough, and when he mentioned the matter of borrowing troops, Gongsun Chan really didn't say a word, so he drew two million troops from the Youzhou army to him, so that Liu Bei's strength almost doubled.
And borrowing grain from Xuzhou, Liu Bei was not very sure, so he cautiously went to Xuzhou to meet Tao Qian in person.
As a result, Tao Qian also hit him off at first sight, and with a wave of his hand, he didn't hesitate to give him a million stones of grain and grass.
This made Liu Bei excited and excited, and thought it was Qin Xiaobai's Heavenly Machine, but he didn't know that it was also caused by his own favorability +100.
You must know that in history, all the princes, including Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang...... et al.
As long as Liu Bei comes to vote and worships them as the boss, they will all treat Liu Bei as a guest without exception, and then treat him with good wine, good tea, good food, good drink, and even more, give back to officials, money, soldiers, generals, and territory.
And these bosses, except for Cao Cao and Sun Quan, were basically killed by Liu Bei without exception......
It is worth mentioning that Qin Xiaobai was originally very unkind to Liu Bei, the prisoner of the boss star.
However, Qin Xiaobai didn't care about it later, because he felt that his life was harder than Cao Cao and Sun Quan, after all, he had accepted all the Lu Bu that Cao Cao didn't dare to accept, and in the future, he would definitely summon those more pitiful goods in history from the Book of Heaven, so why not be afraid of another Liu Da'er.
As the so-called broken can is broken, aren't you afraid of biting if there are more lice......
……
After successfully completing the first two of Qin Xiaobai's tricks, Liu Bei was full of confidence at this time, and then continued to implement the guidelines given by Qin Xiaobai.
Under the coercion and temptation of Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the soldiers and horses on the left and the money and grain on the right, those Yellow Turban remnants in Qingzhou quickly surrendered.
For a while, Qingzhou, which was still chaotic, was instantly cleared up.
And the Qingzhou soldiers after the surrender are also quite good.
Liu Bei collected more than 10,000 Yellow Turban remnants from Qingzhou, threw away the old, weak, sick and disabled, and collected a total of one million strong Qingzhou soldiers.
Don't look at these soldiers and horses, there are only one million, but they are all tigers and wolves, and one can fight several.
This made Liu Bei overjoyed, and at the same time, he was even more shocked by Qin Xiaobai, and after pacifying Qingzhou, Liu Bei immediately sent people to send a messenger to report the situation to Qin Xiaobai.
In fact, Liu Bei is not allowed to be leisurely, after all, he still borrows the grain and grass now, Qingzhou has just been pacified, and it will take a while to recover, and it will undoubtedly take a lot of investment to govern and restore Qingzhou.
Liu Da'er, who was still selling straw sandals for a living a few months ago, didn't have the strength to pay such a large sum of money, so he had to find Qin Xiaobai, the boss of the local tyrant, because of the situation...... (To be continued.) )
