Chapter 101 Doubled [Subscription Request]

The Yanzhou Provincial Governor's Office was located in the center of Yanzhou.

The governor Liu Dai was a relative of the Han royal family.

He was sent out to serve as the governor of Yanzhou and had just taken office. He had good relations with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, and was also acquainted with Cao Cao.

A while ago, when Dong was fighting against Dong, he had a fight with Qiao Mao. After killing Qiao Mao, he was the first to withdraw his troops.

After the death of Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Liu Dai wanted to take direct control of Dongjun.

The newly appointed Dongjun prefect, Wang Gong, was his close confidant. When the Black Mountain bandits besieged the city, he saw the danger and fled. He was an incompetent person.

Liu Dai had just taken control of Yanzhou and was eager to establish his authority.

Some time ago, many armies joined forces to fight against Dong Zhuo, with Cao Cao and Sun Jian performing outstandingly.

Moreover, Cao Cao, who has a strong army, is in Yanzhou.

Having such a nominal subordinate made Liu Dai secretly frightened and very wary.

He dared to fight and kill Qiao Mao, but he did not have the courage to raise an army against Cao Cao.

But this time the Black Mountain bandits entered Dongjun, giving Liu Dai an opportunity.

With hundreds of thousands of people involved, even the slightest mistake could lead to a catastrophe.

The Black Mountain bandits are in Dongjun, and if they move eastward they will attack the heart of Yanzhou, which is the direction of the governor's office.

If you go south from Dongjun, you will enter Chenliu.

Liu Dai came up with a plan. He planned to lure the Black Mountain bandits to attack Chenliu and see how Cao Cao would deal with this man-made disaster of hundreds of thousands.

If Cao Cao made any missteps, Liu Dai would be prepared to seize the opportunity and increase his control over Yanzhou.

Liu Dai thought this was a great idea, using the Black Mountain bandits to eliminate dissidents for himself.

He made up his mind and took out another letter to read.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Shu wrote to him separately, and the contents of their letters were surprisingly consistent, reminding him to be careful of Cao Cao's continued growth.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The strength Cao Cao showed in his fight against Dong Zhuo made some people start to worry.

Liu Dai read the letter, stood up and went to the window.

The Governor of Yanzhou was a veritable frontier official and a local lord.

There are mountains and lakes in the governor's mansion, and the scenery is beautiful.

Liu Dai was in a very good mood and ordered his men: "Push the Black Mountain bandits to Chenliu as quickly as possible, and don't give them time to respond."

The attendant agreed and went down to make arrangements.

----

Cao Cao turned his horse around and slowly moved forward from the high ground, following the Black Mountain bandits' group.

"How is the governor going to deal with these Black Mountain bandits? There are so many of them." Diao Chan asked following the previous topic.

"The Black Mountain Bandits' hometown is in Puyang. They are used to looting. Once they are hungry, they will gather together to attack various places and steal things. After a while, they will return home and continue to live. If they can't survive, they will come out to rob again."

Cao Cao is communicating with Diao Chan on horseback.

Below, more and more Black Mountain bandits were running hard.

The line is getting longer and longer.

The sky gradually darkened.

Some people couldn't run anymore and lay on the side of the road gasping for breath.

Diao Chan followed Cao Cao, riding on the high ground, and moving forward with the Black Mountain bandits, and gradually she began to understand things.

"The governor used some tricks to cause them to panic. They ran towards Puyang. Do they want to go home?"

"Did the governor send someone to attack their hometown?"

The people in the counties were helpless against the Black Mountain Bandits, and they were no match for Diao Chan... Cao Cao held her hand and moved it. The girl was immediately distracted and raised her hand to hold down Cao Cao's big hand to prevent him from moving:
"The governor hasn't told me what method he used to make the Black Mountain bandits so anxious?"

"There's no need to really send anyone to deal with them. This is just a diversionary tactic."

Cao Cao said, "Send a message to them, saying that they are on the run and some officials in Puyang hate them and are attacking other places. They have set fire to the villages and houses of these black mountain bandits in their hometowns, intending to make them completely homeless."

"The Black Mountain bandits had done something bad, and when they heard that their house had been set on fire in revenge, they hurried back.

There are so many people, if one person runs, the others will follow, it is easy to lead them. "

"After all, they are refugees gathering together. Once they start running, it will take time to gather them together."

Diao Chan thought that if she had done something wrong and had been looting outside all day, and heard that someone was taking revenge and setting fire to her house, she would rush back to take a look.

At this time, some of the strong and middle-aged Black Mountain bandits in the front could no longer run, so they slowed down and gasped heavily.

"Why are you running?"

"Didn't they say the house was on fire? Everyone was running, so I followed them."

The mountain road that stretches for more than ten miles is filled with people.

"Everyone has scattered, let's wait a moment." One of the bandits came to his senses and shouted to those around him.

At this moment, a cavalry team emerged from the mountains behind and launched an attack on the scattered and exhausted Black Mountain bandits.

"Yes, he is one of ours." said Diao Chan.

The Black Mountain bandits dispersed, lost their advantage of gathering in large numbers, and were exhausted, so they had no ability to resist at all.

Their biggest advantage is that they can gather together in a large group; if they are separated, they will not pose much of a threat.

The ones rushing out were the elite cavalry led by Cao Chun. They charged back and forth several times, crisscrossing like a razor, cutting the Black Mountain bandits apart, making it difficult for them to connect.

Then some of his men rode their horses and shouted, asking the Black Mountain bandits to lie low. "I am Bai Rao. Who are you? I want to see your leader." A middle-aged man surrounded by several Black Mountain bandits shouted.

hum!
The crossbow arrows shot out.

The middle-aged man and the black mountain bandits around him were all shot to death.

Some troublemakers wanted to call for contact at this time and let the Black Mountain bandits gather again. The soldiers under Cao Cao were not polite, and whoever took the lead was a restless factor.

Anyone who shouted and did not squat on the ground would be shot immediately and then his head would be hung on a horse for public display.

After killing dozens of people, all the Black Mountain bandits calmed down and turned from bandits into ordinary people, squatting on the ground in groups.

This is the simplest way, with no consumption at all, and it is also the most gentle way to deal with the Black Mountain bandits.

Cao Cao used a trick to deal with the gathering of one of the Black Mountain bandits on the spot.

At the same time, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others led their respective teams, as well as other Black Mountain bandit groups, and encountered similar situations in the surrounding counties.

Night falls.

The troops led by Cao Chun set up camp at night.

Zhang Liao also rushed over to the central account: "The Black Mountain bandits are missing their leader, so there is no unusual movement at the moment. News has come in from other groups, and the progress is as expected."

An oil lamp was lit in the tent, and Diao Chan was sorting things out.

Cao Cao sat at the back, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong at the side.

"Master, what should we do with these people later?"

Zhang Liao was a little excited, and so was Huang Zhong.

The two men realized what Cao Cao was going to do.

There are more than 100,000 Black Mountain bandits, and 20,000 to 30,0

These days, it is difficult to find soldiers.

The Black Mountain bandits have seen blood and are cruel and dare to kill people.

The young and strong among them will become excellent sources of soldiers after training.

By recruiting these people, Cao Cao's troops could be doubled and his strength would be doubled.

"Let's take these people back and train them separately, and we will be able to form combat effectiveness soon," Zhang Liao suggested.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Why do we need to bring the Black Mountain bandits we captured in Dongjun back to Chenliu?"

"What the governor meant was to train them on the spot, break them up and reorganize them, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible?"

"good!"

The Black Mountain bandits came to Dongjun, and the governor of Dongjun fled. Cao Cao came to deal with the chaos in Dongjun. After dealing with it, he let him leave and asked someone else to take over Dongjun. What a joke.

Cao Cao's annexation of the Black Mountain bandits was a good opportunity to expand his influence into Dongjun.

"Train on the spot, and have the troops stationed in the counties where the governor of Dongjun fled. Tell the local nobles of Dongjun to come to Chenliu to see me."

Cao Cao issued orders one after another.

In troubled times, his kind of means and character can easily accomplish things, stand firm, and expand quickly.

Zhang Liao came out of Cao Cao's tent and immediately began to make arrangements.

Huang Zhong was also very happy because he would soon have the power to command troops.

"Prefect."

"Go, take a look at your soldiers, select some men, and train them well." Cao Cao instructed.

After killing Hua Xiong with warm wine, Huang Zhong became famous. He had been looking forward to the opportunity to lead troops for a long time.

Cao Cao changed his mind and sent people to Changshan to look for Zhao Zilong. However, something went wrong and several months passed without him being found.

According to the entry's prompts, there shouldn't be anything wrong. What went wrong?

At this time, a soldier came in and said, "Sir, Xu Huan is here."

Xu Huan was the leader of the grave-digging gang. He walked into the tent from outside with his back bent. When he saw Diao Chan, he didn't dare to look at her for long and just bowed his head to greet her.

"how is the progress?"

Xu Huan brought a group of people to form a tomb-raiding team.

The personnel involved were from the three schools of Mohism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang, and were recruited by Cao Cao from all over the country, each with their own specialties.

Cao Cao had previously received a hint from an entry that said there was a large tomb at the foot of Mangdang Mountain where a secret weapon called the Moon Shadow Mirror could be found.

The entries are given location labels.

Xu Huangang had just led his men to explore the terrain of the mountain and came to report the results:
"There is indeed a large tomb at the location given by the governor. It is very secretive and deep underground. We have used tools such as earth-exploring tools and have discovered that there are three layers. It has a strange origin and does not look like a tomb from the last few hundred years."

"I haven't gone in yet. If I have any news, I will report it to the governor as soon as possible."

After Xu Huan finished his report, he came out of Cao Cao's tent, rode back to Mangdang Mountain overnight.

The tent became quiet.

After the door curtain was lowered, it became an independent small space, with only Diao Chan and Cao Cao left.

"We don't bring many tents with us during the march. Can we sleep together tonight?" Cao Cao laughed.

Diao Chan's smooth and delicate chin almost hung down to her sizable chest.

"Come here." Cao Cao called out.
