Chapter 1305 Zhao Zilong's Thoughts

After listening to Shi'a's words, Huangfu Chaobo thought for a moment and then continued to ask: "Have all the Yan troops who broke out with General Yan joined the soldiers and horses of Yanbei County?"

"No, General Yan originally wanted them all to join. However, there are about a hundred soldiers among them who want to be with General Yan, so General Yan also has about a hundred personal guards around him."

"What's going on with Zhao Zilong and the others?"

…

Just when Huangfu Chaobo was questioning Shi A carefully, Zhao Zilong and others were sitting in the post station in Yanbei County and Yisun City in the county, looking at each other with sighs on their faces.

Lao Du said: "Now I finally know what it was like when the boss traveled to the grassland."

Xiao Jiejie also nodded with lingering fear: "If you let me leave again, I won't go again even if you kill me."

In fact, what they didn't know was that Huangfu Chaobo was much more relaxed at the time than they are now. First, they were small, with only a few people, and each had several horses. Not only that, Huangfu Chaobo and the others are very well prepared. But Zhao Zilong and his party were different. When Zhao Zilong left Jiuyuan City, on the backs of more than 10,000 horses, in addition to thousands of elite soldiers, there were also thousands of their family members, plus Wuyuan City and The number of people evacuated from both places at Manyi Valley Pass alone reached 20,000 under Zhao Zilong.

After Zhao Zilong waited for five days at the north entrance of Manyi Valley, he finally waited for the team led by Lao Du and Xiao Jiejie, who had hurriedly arrived from the west. There were nearly ten thousand people between them. As a result, the number of people led by the three men totaled nearly 30,000. Fortunately, Zhao Zilong had a lot of supplies stored in Manyi Valley, and Lao Du and Lao Du also brought a lot of supplies with them after being reminded by Zhao Zilong. So, after the three families gathered together, they began a thousand-mile escape on the grassland.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao's goal was only to capture the two counties, especially now that Shuofang was still in the hands of the knights, so he did not have the time or energy to take care of Zhao Zilong and his party, so that the three of them could evacuate smoothly.

However, even so, the escape of 20,000 to 30,000 people is much more difficult than imagined. Because there are a large number of family members, their speed cannot be increased at all, just like the migration of grassland tribes. In addition, they were not familiar with the route, so it took more than a month for them to reach the grassland north of Shanggu.

It was here that Zhao Zilong and others met Yan Gang and his party who had escaped from Shanggu, and then continued eastward with them. It was not until the end of May that they arrived at the west of Yanbei County. Huang Xu, who had heard the news, led an army to meet him. arrive.

Looking at the other two people, Zhao Zilong said: "Now that we have reached Chaobo's territory, what are you going to do next?"

In fact, Zhao Zilong had discussed it with several of his subordinates several times along the way. He almost had a clear idea about his own arrangements, but he had never been able to communicate with Lao Du. this matter.

"Old Zhao, to be honest, our brothers have thought about it for a long time and feel that we are not very talented people. So after we come back this time, we are ready to be the subordinates of the boss with peace of mind. As for our subordinates, Several generals are also going to let the boss make arrangements. He won't lose us anyway." Lao Du thought for a while and then said slowly to Zhao Zilong;

Xiao Jiejie also nodded naturally beside him. The two of them had actually been in charge of the business for a long time. Although he personally owned two counties, he basically didn't take care of anything. And under Huangfu Chaobo's reminder, There is a lot of income every month. This time, under Lu Bu's attack, both of them lost their county towns, which made both guys feel as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

As for the military generals under them, at least they are all historical generals. Although their abilities are indeed average, they can be arranged by Huangfu Chaobo.

Zhao Zilong looked at the two of them and said nothing more. He was different from the two of them. They were alone.

But he has a large group of children to support, so no matter what, he cannot just give up his children.

"Okay, since you have made your decision, I won't say anything more." Zhao Zilong said in a deep voice;

"Old Zhao, what are you planning to do?" Xiao Jiejie asked Zhao Zilong curiously;

"I still want to try again, but this time, I am going to go to Zongheng. If possible, I would like to consider cooperating with him to win the entire Nanyang. Of course, this is just my own idea. As for Chaobo, I don’t know what to say,” Zhao Zilong replied;

"Nanyang is still a nice place, but can you two beat Zhang Ji and Jia Laoxu?"

"I don't know about this yet. At least I still have several thousand cavalry in my hands. Plus these infantry, there are almost ten thousand people. If Chaobo has no objection, I am going to return Heyin City to him, and then transfer all the people in the city to him. All the troops and horses have also been mobilized. As for the small town in Zhending, I am going to make a deal with the Montenegrin Army and gather all the troops and horses. In this case, I should be able to gather 10,000 or 20,000 troops and horses together. , If we cooperate with Zongheng again, it shouldn’t be a big problem to capture a few counties in Nanyang.”

Hearing this, the other two people nodded in agreement.

"Then where are you going? South or north?"

"The north is too close to Nanyang, and there is only one city in Pheasant County. The place is too small. I plan to go to the south and let Zongheng occupy Duyang. I will send troops to occupy Wuyin, and then the two families will rely on each other to block Zhang Ji's idea of ​​​​advancing eastward. . Then I will send troops south to occupy several cities of Biyang and Fuyang, and if possible, I will control five or six counties, and then I will surrender to Chaobo's power and let him make me a prefect. " Zhao Zilong thought about it again and again, and finally made his thoughts clear to the two of them, because he knew that these two people were Huangfu Chaobo's best friends, and he wanted to let them know about it first so that Huangfu Chaobo could be prepared.

Zhao Zilong's words made Lao Du's heart move. Unlike Xiao Jiejie's simple mind, Lao Du's mind was much more lively. As soon as Zhao Zilong's words came out, he realized that Zhao Zilong wanted the two of him to lead the boss. He said this, so he nodded and said: "It sounds good. Anyway, we are going to give it up to the boss. When the time comes, tell the boss about your idea and see what he means."

When Zhao Zilong heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then please leave it to Lao Du!"
