Chapter 128
"With that being said, there are a lot of things that are not matched in front of each other. If I don't look at them in combination with some information, I don't know what it means." Liu Tao felt that he could not speak to death, so he vaguely explained the concept a little.
"But since they are fragments, why do you know about an unknown person like Chu Feiyan?" Jian Yong felt that it was not that simple.
"Because the scope of the oracle covers the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. I think this person, Chu Feiyan, can appear in the oracle, means that he will inevitably become one of the most influential figures who stirred up the Han Dynasty." Liu Tao said pretending to be profound.
"So that's it..." Jian Yong felt that there was something unreasonable about this, but it was difficult to continue to investigate. The necessary pretending to be stupid is also a basic skill.
If it weren't for the feeling that if Liu Tao continued like this, many things would make people more and more suspicious, and they had already reached a situation where they had to ask, otherwise he would rather pretend to be stupid.
Liu Tao also realized this, and his thinking was really imaginative. He suddenly thought of the suspicious elements who covet food and grass, and then thought of the Black Mountain bandits, and then Zhang Yan.
The key is that the records in memory are also different from reality. The biggest difference is that in history, Zhang Yan gathered a group of teenagers as robbers and fought among the mountains and rivers.
As a fellow townsman of Zhao Yun, it is hard to say whether there is Zhao Yun among these teenagers. After all, if there was no Tong Yuan in history, where did Zhao Yun learn martial arts?
There is no way to know where a group of people went and what they did in this year. They only know that almost a year later, Zhang Yan returned to Zhending, and there were already tens of thousands of people. Liu Tao noticed a point here, that is, Chu Yan did not seem to be the Yellow Turban Army at this time.
It was not until 185 that he became famous and rebelled publicly.
Liu Tao felt that perhaps it was because of this period that Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun had different ideas, so the two parted ways. In 191, Zhao Yun was elected as the leader from the county Zhongyi Cong, and led the Yi Cong to surrender to Gongsun Zan... If this is linked to Zhang Yan...
Of course, that is official history, and there are certain deviations in this world.
First of all, Tong Yuan really existed and was teaching Zhao Yun to learn martial arts, so Zhao Yun obviously did not join Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was still a robber, but it seemed that it had started a year or two ago. Maybe it was just a small fight at that time, but it did not start this year.
He must pay attention to the issue derived from this, that is, this world may not be a legend or a official history. His own memory may not be absolutely effective, so don’t rely too much on yourself to understand the period from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms.
Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if you cheated yourself.
"Speaking of it..." Lu Yan seemed to remember something, took out a letter and handed it to Liu Tao, "a letter from Changshan."
"Oh? Could it be Zhao Yun?" Liu Tao suddenly became curious.
"We only know him when we are there, right? No, it's not even considered acknowledging him, it's just that my brother knows him." Lu Yan teased.
"Then we really need to see... can the army run out tomorrow? I think we need to bring about a thousand people to Chaoge, and others stay behind. Just bring three days of dry food, and it is expected that we can meet in two days. At that time, the military food will be provided by the grain transport team." Liu Tao took the letter and asked.
"If it's tomorrow, there's no big problem." Lu Yan thought for a while, "I have to tell the Huotou Army to prepare three days of dry food for you."
"In terms of dry food, Guokui is just fine. A big Guokui, let alone three days, five days will not be a problem." Liu Tao thought about it. Guokui was also taught by him. Guokui with a large pot lid is dry and hard. The key is to save whole wheat.
The wheat bran that is not completely finely ground is very stuck in the throat, but for a pot, one will not be a problem for three days.
"That kind of thing..." Lu Yan thought for a while, "I guess it can not only be eaten, but also used as a shield."
I can still remember it fresh. If I had not cut it into pieces and just eat it, it would have been difficult to swallow it. The key is that it is thick and large. Adding a grip can be used as a shield, at least it has a high ability to resist arrows.
Liu Tao also smiled. After all, no matter how bad the taste is, it is better than fried noodles. If the whole wheat fried noodles are not added, that is really bad.
When you return to your own tent, you must open the letter and see what Zhao Yun has to say.
"Oh, it turns out that Zhang... Chu Yan appeared in Chaoge, but it was my own pot..." Liu Tao read the letter and showed a meaningful expression.
According to Zhao Yun's letter, more than ten days ago, Chu Yan came back to Zhending to recruit villagers. In fact, he had found him at that time. Zhao Yun's family was a rich family in the local area and had high martial arts skills, so it was naturally the best choice to win over.
In the past, in order to protect his family, Zhao Yun might have to temporarily follow the thief. Now he relies on the supplies sent by Liu Tao earlier, and he personally organized a good family in the village to fight against Chu Yan. He defeated him in the competition.
Chu Yan was unable to bring him into the group in the end, but he recruited nearly a thousand people in the village. After all, many children from poor families were willing to follow him. However, there was no compromise between the rich, and there was a shortage of military rations and supplies.
This part of the content is actually just a little mention, mainly saying that there is this matter, and then thanking Liu Tao for his support.
It can be seen that he was still a little scared at the time and almost had to follow the thief. Later, he luckily repelled the other party and thought about it. If it weren't for Liu Tao's support, he would have been afraid that something would have happened.
The gratitude came to life on the paper, which made Liu Tao very satisfied. The more grateful Zhao Yun was, the greater the possibility of recruitment.
However, from this letter, we can see that although Chu Yan has added a lot of manpower, there are some shortcomings in materials. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the idea of the court's food and supplies.
According to the letter, this was already more than ten days ago, which means that Chu Yan's troops may have reached a limit. Perhaps the next time they transported grain, it was the time for them to launch an attack. Last time, it could only be considered a one-time scout.
"Just relying on the robbers who are not considered to be robbers, they can plunder the grain transport team with nearly a thousand guards?" Liu Tao felt it was a bit unreliable. Could it be that Chu Yan was desperate to jump over the wall?
Not to mention a few thousand, Zhao Yun resisted it on Zhending, and it would be good if the number of people could be three thousand. Moreover, the young men who were in a state of mind were probably not as good as the champions.
"No, no, since he can leave a strong mark in the late Han Dynasty, it means that if he takes action, he will definitely not be able to rely on his brain. So if he doesn't take action, he will definitely point directly to the key points if he takes action." Liu Tao felt that he could not underestimate Zhang Yan too much.
It is definitely not easy to be able to start a rebellion in 185, surrender to Cao Cao in 205, become the General of Pingbei, and the existence of Anguoting Hou.
The key is that he can't be eliminated early, otherwise the excuse of going to Shangdang will be gone?
Fortunately, Zhang Yan formed a robber two years earlier and raided Hanoi, Shangdang and Wei County. He used the excuse of fighting against thieves to serve as the local county magistrate of Shangdang. It should not be a big problem to add a military position.
"It's just this battle, it's a headache..." Liu Tao shook his head and put the letter aside.
