Chapter 256 Zhou Cang Comes Admiringly
Chapter 256 Zhou Cang Comes Admiringly
When the coachman heard what the strong man said, he immediately stopped the carriage, and the sudden stop of the carriage made Ye Xiao and the others in the carriage a Ye Xiao.

"Who is it!"

Ye Xiao walked out of the carriage impatiently, looked at the people opposite and said, only to see that the people opposite were wearing cloth armor and yellow scarves on their heads.

Yellow Turban Army?Ye Xiao was stunned immediately when he saw these people, where did the Yellow Turban Army come from to be so bold.

"At the next week's warehouse, come and seek refuge with Governor Ye!"

Although Ye Xiao had already been promoted to general at this time, everyone still called Ye Xiao Taishou habitually, Ye Xiao naturally didn't care, after all, what the people liked was good.

Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard Zhou Cang's name, and then realized that Zhou Cang should have joined Guan Yu according to the historical process, but now Ye Xiao took Xuzhou and defeated Cao Cao.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao no longer had the chance to fight Xiaopei, and there was no Guan Yu surrendering to Cao Cao. Naturally, there was no such thing as killing six generals after passing five passes.

On the contrary, because of Ye Xiao's subordinate Yue Fei's reputation, Zhou Cang admired him very much, so when Zhou Cang found out that Ye Xiao was from Yingchuan, he immediately took his men and waited here for a few days and nights.

Just when they were about to give up, Ye Xiao's carriage appeared.

"But my men are not short of guards now."

Ye Xiao looked at Fan Kui who was sitting on the horse in the distance, and glanced at Zhou Cang, not to mention that Zhou Cang's body was not much compared to Fan Kui's.

But Ye Xiao still has a good impression of Fan Kui, after all he has followed him for so long.

"I don't want to be the guard of Ye Taishou, I want to be General Yue's pawn."

When Ye Xiao heard it, good fellow, he came to seek refuge with Yue Fei, so shall I go?
But if he wants to face such a strong general, he still has to accept it, but Ye Xiao, as the protagonist, is too embarrassed to speak up. At this moment, Zhang Liang, who is standing aside, can see Ye Xiao's thoughts.

"My lord, since Zhou Cang's strong man came to vote sincerely, if we reject it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the strong man's will? Pengju's account is just short of people, why don't we just follow him and let him vote for Pengju."

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Ye Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Liang and nodded.

As expected, it's a sage seeking. This speculative ability is simply invincible.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll write a letter myself, and you can go to Jiangxia to find Pengju."

Ye Xiao took out a piece of silk and began to write on it. After writing, Ye Xiao handed the silk to Zhou Cang.

"Thank you, Prefect Ye, Zhou Cang!"

"Hey, why are you still called the prefect, and you don't change your name to the lord?"

Zhang Liang looked at Zhou Cang and said with a smile, Zhou Cang scratched his head when he saw this, but he didn't know what to say.

"Haha, come on Zhou Cang, go find Pengju quickly, or you won't see him in a while."

Ye Xiao watched the naive Zhou Cang help him up, and said kindly.

"Yes."

Zhou Cang led the crowd and set off towards where Yue Fei was.

"My lord, it is said that Peng Ju will not be here in a few days. Is the lord planning to use troops against whom?"

Zhang Liang asked immediately when he heard what Ye Xiao said just now.

"It's summer now, and the autumn harvest is coming. This year Yuzhou and Xuzhou have used Quyuan plows on a large scale. I was afraid that there would not be enough people for harvesting, so I asked Pengju to return to Xuzhou to help harvest everywhere."

Zhang Liang nodded upon hearing this.

"This autumn harvest is indeed a big event."

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

The episode on the road did not hinder Ye Xiao's pace of going home, not only that, because Ye Xiao also felt very happy because he got a fierce general, and hummed a little song along the way.

"Master, Yingchuan is not far ahead."

Fan Kuai rode his horse to the front of the carriage, knocked on the carriage and whispered to Ye Xiao.

"Are you in Yingchuan so soon? Sure enough, I don't know how time flies when I'm homesick, but I don't know how Zitian and Diaochan are doing."

Hearing Fan Kuai's words, Ye Xiao stretched out his head and looked at the scenery outside the carriage with admiration.

It is thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Yingchuan, and it took dozens of days to get there.

"My lord, don't worry, you've only been away for three months. In such a short period of time, they probably haven't felt that the lord has left. Besides, when the lord's territory grows bigger and bigger in the future, the round-trip distance will continue to increase."

Hearing Ye Xiao's sigh, Zhang Liang looked at Ye Xiao and said with a smile.

In fact, thinking about it, I don't blame Ye Xiao, after all, as a modern person, he is used to traveling from one city to another in a day.

Although he has been here for many years, it is the first time he is so far away from home. At this time, Ye Xiao misses the plane very much, that thing that can travel thousands of miles in one day.

"I know, I'm just worried. Zitian was three months pregnant when I went out, and I don't know what's going on now."

Ye Xiao's eyes were full of tenderness when he said this, Zhang Liang just nodded his head as he looked at it, he had been wandering all his life, although he was extremely smart, he knew nothing about men and women.

So at this age, I am still alone.

"Take a break and eat something."

Ye Xiao was a little hungry, so he asked his servants to take out the food they had brought, and everyone found a shade under a tree and started to eat.

"My lord, this summer is so hot that I'm afraid there will be a drought."

Zhang Liang looked up at the sun in the sky which had become very big and said.

"It's okay. After a year of planting in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, it can be said that the treasury is sufficient and more than enough to deal with drought."

Ye Xiao was right, since his Quyuanli was invented and popularized, the two places began to use Quyuanli one after another, not only because of Ye Xiao's low tax.

The people in Yuzhou and Xuzhou had surplus food in their hands, and many people used the food in their hands to buy cloth, meat, and salt.

After Ye Xiao deprived the rights of the local aristocratic families of these cloth, meat, salt and other things related to people's livelihood, most of them were in Ye Xiao's hands, except for some of the aristocratic families who had been submissive to Ye Xiao from the beginning to the end. .

For a while, the people in Yuzhou and Xuzhou had enough food and clothing. The most exaggerated thing was that when Chen Gong was defending Xiapi, the people of Xuzhou joined the army when they heard that Yuan Shao was going to invade Xuzhou. Those who could not join the army sent shoes and socks to Chen Gong's army.

Chen Gong was stunned when he received these. Chen Gong insisted on Ye Xiao's principle of not taking things from the common people, and was going to return these things.

However, they were beaten back by the local prestigious elders, who scolded Chen Gong for being ignorant of flattery, and some elders even forced Chen Gong to accept him with death.

Each of these old people is a respected old man in the local area. Although Chen Gong is the prefect of Xuzhou, he dared not offend them, so he had no choice but to accept them.

Later, Chen Gong told Ye Xiao about this matter, Ye Xiao laughed when he heard it, and wrote back to ask Chen Gong to accept these things first, and distribute them to the helpless people at the price of grain next year.
