Chapter 168: Taishan Thief, Yellow Turban and Dorgon(2/2)

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were captured by Chu Tian, ​​and it was probably Chu Tian who recruited them.

Suddenly Chutian was in the limelight again. The Taishan Bandits, like the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army, were all well-known bandit forces in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Any force conquered would replace them and become a more powerful force.

"Why didn't Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, send troops to attack Xia City? If he had sent troops, it would have taken half a month to reach Xia City along the Yi River. I was his subordinate at the time."

Zang Ba was puzzled.

During the anti-Chutian Alliance, Tao Qian, the largest force in Xuzhou, remained indifferent and watched the small forces in northern Xuzhou fight among themselves.

Zang Ba was still nominally a cavalry captain conferred by Tao Qian.

However, Zang Ba and Sun Guan, who had just integrated into Xia City, quickly understood what was going on. They saw people from the Mi family carrying several wooden boxes and heading directly to the Lord's Mansion to visit Chu Tian.

Zang Ba understood why Tao Qian did not send troops. The aristocratic families in Xuzhou seemed to support Chu Tian to replace him as a separatist force stationed in Langya Kingdom.

"I defeated Zhang Kai's 100,000 Yellow Turban Army for Tao Qian and guarded the northern gate for him. Do these aristocratic families think that I can't resist the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army? Has the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army grown to the point of being unstoppable? Beihai Xiangkong

What on earth is Rong doing? Even the Yellow Turban Army can’t be defeated, so what’s the use of reading those bullshit sage books!”

Zang Ba muttered.

Although he is the leader of the Taishan bandits, there are some differences.

Zang Ba and others helped Tao Qian suppress the Yellow Turban Army, and were nominally Tao Qian's subordinates.

Now he is forced to become Chu Tian's subordinate.

Chu Tian was at the Lord's Mansion at this time. Hearing that the Mi family sent someone to come, he immediately treated him as an honored guest.

The Mi family has provided financial support many times and is Chu Tian's biggest benefactor. Chu Tian even has a good relationship with Mi Fang.

"I heard that Lord Kaiyangwei has been besieged by various foreign lords recently, and his troops and horses are exhausted. The master sent his servants to send money, food and horses. Please accept it, Lord Kaiyang. Here is the list."

The steward of the Mi family presented a list.

Sure enough, it is another aid. For this kind of aid, the more the better.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, twenty thousand units of grain, one thousand war horses..."

Chutian looked through the list, and his expression gradually felt a little strange.

Compared with the previous funding from the Mi family, it is not too little, but too much!

Although it is said that the more funding, the better, Chu Tian also knows that with such a large amount of funding, Chu Tian suspects that the Mi family wants to fund him to start a war.

It's just that the Mi family is a business family, so why do they want Chu Tian to start a war?

"Your Majesty has a lot of things to offer me. What can I ask for?"

Even though they knew that the Mi family wanted to ask for something, the Mi family had given too much and it was impossible to return it, even if they were beaten to death.

The steward of the Mi family saw that Chu Tian was on the road, so he said: "This batch of money, food and war horses is actually a little bit of the wishes of each aristocratic family."

"Oh? Do all the aristocratic families want to ask for something?"

Chu Tian was unmoved, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.

It is good that Tao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou, but he was from Yangzhou, and those who controlled Xuzhou were the local aristocratic families.

But what do these aristocratic families want from him through the Mi family?

"Do you know that the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has been causing trouble recently? Hundreds of thousands of troops have swept across Qingzhou?"

"true."

Chu Tian had the impression that he had heard Xia Liang mention this matter, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

First of all, this is the Yellow Turban Army operating in Qingzhou, and the lords and princes of Qingzhou tried to suppress it.

Secondly, Chu Tian also wished that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would come to Langya Kingdom and let him capture a group of laborers.

Chu Tian thought of Guan Hai, the general of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, who was famous and defeated repeatedly by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army: "Could it be that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wants to go south to Xuzhou?"

The steward of the Mi family replied: "It is true."

By this point, Chu Tian already understood the intentions of the Mi family and other Xuzhou aristocratic families related to the Mi family.

Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army general Zhang Kai was defeated by the Taishan thief Zang Ba, and was later killed by Hua Mulan, so the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army was ineffective.

In contrast, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army next door became more and more violent due to the incompetence of Kong Rong and other prefects, which had affected Xuzhou's security.

In order to protect themselves, the aristocratic family in Xuzhou raised a batch of military supplies and wanted Chu Tian to guard the gate for them instead of Zang Ba.

What was a bit puzzling to Chu Tian was that Kong Rong had already recruited Taishi Ci, but he was actually defeated by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was even about to attack Xuzhou.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army went south to attack Xuzhou, and the first county affected would be the Langya Kingdom.

Even if Chu Tian didn't want to help the family guard the gate, he still had to stop the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army from moving south for the sake of his own territory.

Therefore, Chu Tian accepted this funding with a clear conscience.

"The Governor has a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, as well as fierce generals Cao Bao and Mi Fang. Even if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army marches south, there is nothing to fear."

Chu Tian believed that Tao Qian was still capable of blocking the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army with the help of his family.

"No. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is invincible and devastating. I'm afraid Qingzhou has lost control."

The steward of the Mi family looked worried.

Chutian knew that Donghan District was in chaos now.

Even though everything is calm in the Langya country where he lives, that's because he can suppress various lords.

In fact, the rebellion of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang was huge. The leader of Hanzhong, Zhang Dao, launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, which swept Hanzhong. The rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe in Youzhou had alarmed the two princes, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha in the south, was suppressing the locals.

The peasant uprising...

Now the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is also making a fuss.

The steward of the Mi family continued: "Guan Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, was brave and good at fighting. There was also a general who led the cavalry. He was invincible and defeated the Han army in Beihai. Kong Rong's general Tai Shici was also defeated by the opponent. Please also ask Kaiyang Wei.

Sir, please be careful."

"Is there another general?"

Chu Tian had not heard of any powerful figures in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army besides Guan Hai.

"Exactly, that person's name is Dorgon, and he came out of nowhere."

"How could it be him……"

Chu Tian had a headache, some lord must have recruited Dorgon.
