Chapter 11 Developing a Strategy
The three autumn leaves are loosened, and the February flowers can be bloomed.Autumn in ancient times was not like autumn now. Now due to the greenhouse effect, I feel that there are only two seasons in a year, summer and winter. In ancient times, the change of seasons was very obvious.As soon as autumn comes, the cold wind is howling, and everyone's clothes have gradually increased.

In the autumn of 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Uprising that was supposed to happen has not yet broken out.It seems that history has really been changed by Zhao Lei.The only advantage that Zhao Lei has over others in this troubled world is that he knows history, and now the quiet changes in history have wiped out his advantage.

But after thinking about it carefully, he still knows a lot about the Three Kingdoms.He knows who is a talent.Even if history has changed.As long as he has the ability, land, money and food, and talents, he can still succeed.Because as soon as he stepped into this time and space, history had already changed.

Zhao Lei no longer lives in Zhaojia Village. Zhou Cang built him a house in the cottage. He lives with Zhang Han and Zhao Yun. The house is very big. It took nearly a hundred brothers from the cottage for a week. Made.Although it is not comparable to the current house, it was considered a luxury house at the time.It is also temporarily used as Zhao Lei's council hall.

Today, Zhao Lei called Zhang Han, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Cang's only subordinates to discuss their future situation?

"Brother Zhao, let me say that we can just live our current life and be at ease, how good is that?" Zhou Cang said first, there are no subordinates for today's discussion, so everyone is very casual.

"Continue to be a bandit, and then wait for the imperial army to attack us? And then cut us all over?" Zhao Lei gave Zhou Cang a blank look, this guy speaks without thinking.

"Boss, no. We still use the previous strategy, isn't it safe?" Zhou Cang said confidently.

"What's the boss? Am I a gangster? You're an idiot, do you think that Han Fu in Yecheng is a fool? He is the governor of the state after all. Do you think that everyone in the world is like you? I don't want to complain about you anymore " Zhao Lei popped out three modern words in one breath, which made Zhou Cang and Zhao Yun completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

Zhou Cang couldn't play tricks on Zhao Lei, so he stood aside silently.

"My lord, I suggest that after Mr. Jia brings back the imperial decree, we will concentrate on developing in the Changshan area. Once the world changes, we will lead an elite division to point to Hebei and Bingzhou. Changshan has geographical advantages and is located in Hebei. , Merging the important roads of the two prefectures, this is God's help." Zhao Yun said slowly.

It is necessary to declare to the readers here that before Zhao Lei sent Jia Xu to Luoyang to buy an official position, he bought the position of the prefect of Changshan County. I believe that after such a big incident happened in Changshan County, the original prefect position would not be held. Too stable, so they negotiated to buy this official position.

"Zilong's suggestion is good, but it's not suitable for us." Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Second brother, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yun asked. After getting along for so long, Zhao Yun admired Zhang Han's intelligence very much. Han and Jia Xu did compete after that, but that's all for later.Therefore, when Zhang Han objected to Zhao Yun's opinion, Zhao Yun was not unhappy, but followed Zhang Han's opinion humbly.

"The situation that Zilong said is only suitable for those warlords who already have military power. But now we are weak and lack money and food. The world is about to be in chaos. The two prefectures of Sili and Hebei in the Central Plains, the two prefectures of Yanyu and Huanyu There are Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which will be devastated by the flames of war, the people will be displaced, and the population will be greatly reduced. Even if we capture the two states of Ji and Bing, we will be besieged on all sides and will be attacked by other warlords every day, unable to develop." Zhang Han analyzed.

"Then where does the military adviser think we should use as our basis?" Zhao Lei asked.

"I think Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong (that is, Yangzhou, the area on the other side of the Yangtze River was called Jiangdong in ancient times) are good places for development." Zhang Han said.

"Yizhou has natural dangers of mountains and rivers, and Jiangdong has natural dangers of the Yangtze River. Jingzhou is the belly of the world. All three places can be attacked, retreated and defended. They are places for wise people to protect themselves." Zhang Han added.

"That makes sense." Both Zhao Lei and Zhao Yun agreed with Zhang Han's point of view, and even Zhou Cang, who couldn't understand what they were talking about, nodded foolishly there.

"I haven't decided which area we should choose as the base. Because I heard that the imperial court has doubled the taxes and corvees on the people recently. If this continues, it may directly lead to peasant uprisings. We need to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To improve the prestige of the lord, make more military exploits, and thus win a higher official position. It is best to get an official with real power such as the governor of the state, and then the next thing will be much easier." Zhang Han dare not say too much too obvious.

Of course Zhao Lei knew that the peasant uprising he was talking about was the Yellow Turban Uprising. Now Zhao Lei and Zhang Han are very sure that although history has changed, the Yellow Turban Uprising will still break out.Because the starting point of the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the Yellow Turban Uprising, from which many warlords came out, such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. That is to say, as long as there is no earth-shaking change in history, the Yellow Turban Uprising will definitely happen, but the time of occurrence is a little different.

"Zizhou said that, and I roughly understand it. It seems that we have to wait now, recharge our energy, and accumulate money and food. When the post of Changshan prefect comes, we will immediately recruit local troops and get ready to go." Zhao Lei said .

"Even if recruiting troops and buying horses, it can't be too obvious. Some excuses can be used as a cover." Zhang Han said, and Zhao Yun nodded to express his agreement.

"Okay, let's do this! Zhou Cang, you go and convey my order. Once the imperial court rewards are distributed, some people will be dispatched to the local villages in Changshan to buy grain and horses, and another group of blacksmiths will be recruited to make weapons. Conscription enlightenment. The remaining people train on time every day, and there must be no mistakes. And the fifth day of every month is a day to do volunteer work for the nearby people." Zhao Lei said.

"No, this subordinate takes orders." Zhou Cang ordered him to retreat.

"Zilong, you are in charge of training the army." Zhao Lei said.

"Promise." After getting the order, Zhao Yun walked to the school grounds.

"Xiao Lei, if we want to increase our strength, we must do more?" Seeing that he and Zhao Lei were the only ones left, Zhang Han called Zhao Lei by his nickname.

"How?" Zhao Lei asked.

"That's business!" Zhang Han said.

"Business?" Zhao Lei questioned.

"That's right, money can make money. We must broaden our sources of income. Without money, we can't do anything. Only with money can someone be willing to serve you." Zhang Han said.

"But it's okay for me to practice martial arts, but I can't do business at all." Zhao Lei said helplessly.

"Doing business in this era is actually very simple. After all, this era is backward, and they haven't invented many advanced things. We just need to invent a few things, and we will be able to gather a lot of money in a short time." Zhang Han laughed.

"Then what kind of business should we do?" Zhao Lei asked again.
