Chapter 11 Battle of Liang County

It is said that life is full of ups and downs, but for Yang Feng and Han Xian, the ups and downs seem to be too fast.The two of them are just Bai Boshuai who started his career by rebelling, and they put their heads on their belts to fight with the court.Because of coincidences such as Dong Zhuo's entry to Beijing, the separatism of the heroes, and the return of the emperor to the east, the rebels became the heroes of the rescue.At the peak, Han Xian was named a general and Yang was named a general of chariots and cavalry, and all the little bosses under his tent were school lieutenants or captains of cavalry.

But in a blink of an eye, the prosperity was like a dream, and the good luck of just one year ended with the relocation of the capital to Xu County.Their official positions and achievements were canceled, and the two of them resumed their status as rebels from Kaifu generals.I heard that General Cao Cao, General Wei Dong Cheng, Liang Prince Pian General Liu Fu, Hun Youxian King Qubei, Yuzhou Muzhen East General Liu Bei and the five armies came to attack together under the order of the emperor. Yang Feng and Han Xian were so frightened that their calves They are all twisted. There were also disputes within the Liang County Garrison. Some wanted to fight, some shouted to surrender, and some wanted to flee.But how to fight, whether surrender is acceptable, and where to flee, no one can tell the way.In desperation, Yang Feng and Han Xian had to leave Xu Huang, their subordinate, to guard the city. They led half of the troops to the village along the Huoyang Mountain in the east of Liangxian County, and blocked the entrance of the mountain, forming an angle with the city, hoping to be able to defend the city. Persevere until Wang Shi runs out of food and grass.

Cao Cao led the five-way army to leave Xudu and advance quickly, and soon set up camp in front of Huoyang Mountain.The officers and soldiers are majestic and known as the Five Routes. In fact, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Qubei, and Liu Bei together are only more than 3,000 people, which is still less than a fraction of Cao Cao's troops.In order to show respect, in addition to Cao Cao who sat in the middle of the tent, the four of them also arranged for each of them to sit in the bottom, but no one dared to sit. Cao Cao looked at the four of them one by one, deliberately pretending to be at a loss, and asked with a frown, "Now that the enemy is occupying the stronghold, how should we fight?"

Liu Fu was still so ambitious, and said first: "The general has been on the battlefield for a long time, do you still need to ask such things? Master Wang is so powerful now, you can't delay the time to slow down the morale of the army. Now the strength is clear, no matter whether they fight or not. We should all go straight to the enemy's camp with all our might!" This is true, but Cao Cao is not very happy.At this moment Liu Fu still can't see Zi Chou Yinmao, arrogant and arrogant, Cao Cao forced a smile: "What the prince said is exactly what I want, do you have any objections, generals?"

Dong Cheng, Qu Bei and Liu Bei didn't dare to disobey, they clapped their hands together and said, "I'm willing to listen to the command of the general!" "Okay!" Cao Cao said, "Then let's go straight to the enemy's camp..." After these words fell silent, Le Jin, Zhu Ling, and Xia Houyuan, three impatient people, jumped out.Seeing that he was about to ask for an order, Cao Cao hurriedly scolded: "You generals are here, you don't allow you to talk, stand down!" When the three saw the battle, they stood back silently. Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face: "Xuande, I think I need you to attack the enemy camp." Although Liu Bei was wearing a military uniform today, he still looked handsome: "The general will obey his orders, but..."

"I will assign you five thousand elite soldiers under my account, and let your generals dispatch them!" Cao Cao knew that he was worried about the lack of soldiers, so he spoke out for him. "Follow the order!" Liu Bei saluted deeply. "The prince and King Youxian followed closely behind to respond." "Promise." Liu Fu and Qu Bei stepped forward to accept the order. Dong Cheng is the uncle of the state after all, Cao Cao can't send him casually, he said with a smile: "General Wei and I watch the battle together, let's cheer the young man with drums."

"Okay, okay..." Dong Cheng honestly didn't dare to say anything else. After a short time dispatch, Liu Bei, Liu Fu, and Qubei each returned to the camp to order troops.Dian Wei and Xu Chu led a thousand tiger and leopard riders up Mount Huoyang to protect Cao Cao and Dong Chengju.I saw five thousand vanguard troops rushing straight to the Baibo camp on the narrow and long mountain road.Yang Feng and Han Xian had no intention of fighting, fearing that the camp would not be solid, they placed a lot of antlers on the periphery, and sent a large number of soldiers to defend against the danger.

Cao Cao couldn't help being excited, and said to Dong Cheng: "Uncle Guo, look carefully, there are two brave generals under Liu Bei's account, and you will definitely see them in a while." Dong Cheng doesn’t care about the front, only cares about the back—Dian Wei and Xu Chu are standing behind him again, if he is killed while fighting at this moment, Cao Cao only needs to tell the emperor that his uncle died in the battle, and he will be confused It's up!He started to tremble again, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Yes... let's watch together." Sure enough, a warrior suddenly stood out among the ten thousand horse army!Although it was quite far away, that image was ready to emerge in Cao Cao's mind-nine feet tall, with a helmet on top, a parrot green battle robe on the outside, a parrot green battle team around the waist, leg armor underneath, and a tiger on his feet. He wears combat boots and a snow-white war horse under his crotch.Red face, wide forehead, red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, fat lips, five long beards.Holding a big knife in his hand, it is about ten feet long, and the head of the knife is shaped like a crescent moon. It is cold and dazzling!

Seeing that fellow is brave and invincible, like a god descending from the earth, with a big knife in his palm, he is unstoppable, chopping off antlers and slashing at the enemy army, especially the five fluttering long beards, which set off the lightness and elegance of his movements.Cao Cao stood up from the stool and shouted, "Look, look, it's him!" Before he could recover, another black-robed general walked out.He holds a long spear in his hand, if he stabs it, he will make a hole, and if he sweeps it, he will stumble.Wherever he passed, the horses stabbed with spears, it was bloody, and the horses under his crotch could not see their true colors.Suddenly he sent out the spear, and with the force of his wrists, he picked up a large piece of antlers, and with a flick of his hand, knocked down a large number of enemies.Then he drew the spear in a circle and shouted loudly: "The antlers are open, charge with me!"

When the crowd was full of voices, his voice actually overwhelmed the chaos, and it sounded like a roar of dragons and tigers, echoing in the valley for a long time.Cao Cao was so startled that he shuddered: "It's really an enemy of ten thousand people!" In a blink of an eye, the enemy camp had been torn apart, two brave generals rushed in first, and the three soldiers followed the general without hindrance. Cao Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked down at Liu Bei again.After searching with eyes wide open for a long time, I saw a big flag planted at the foot of the mountain far away from the battlefield. Liu Bei led some people to hide there, surrounded by two young generals Zhao Yun and Chen Dao to protect.The soldiers and horses of Wang Zifu and Qubei all charged past, and Liu Bei remained motionless!

Cao Cao couldn't help sneering—Liu Xuande is as talented as a mouse and as timid as a mouse.Even if there are hundreds of strong generals, what can he do to protect this incompetent master? "Congratulations, General, you have won!" Dong Cheng hurriedly flattered him. "Why does Uncle Guo talk like this?" Cao Cao regained his composure, and declined with a smile on his face, "This is Master Wang's victory, so we should congratulate him for being today." Dong Cheng was rather bored, and said vaguely: "I have slipped my tongue... General, forgive me." "Where is the need for so much politeness?" Cao Cao was very happy at the moment, and grabbed Dong Cheng, "Let's go down the mountain and return to the camp. We are going to pursue the enemy and attack Liang County." But there was no need to attack the city anymore. Cao Cao got the news as soon as he occupied the enemy's camp-the enemy army in the city surrendered. Yang Feng and Han Xian failed to enter the city and had already led their troops to flee south.Not long after, the enemy general Xu Huang visited Yuanmen to vote.There are still 2,000 people in Liang County, and how much food and grass, how can Cao Cao not like it?He exempted Xu Huang from the ceremony of reporting to the door and allowed him to enter the big tent. "The crime will be referred to the general!" As soon as Xu Huang stepped in, he knelt down and pleaded guilty. Cao Cao didn't like people who betrayed his master, and seeing that Xu Huang's body was generally mediocre and his face was mediocre - he was born with a yellow face with sparse eyebrows, triangular eyes with big bags under his eyes, a hooked nose with water chestnut mouth, and a yellow scorched beard. He frowned and said, "Your city is still strong..." Seeing this, the chief secretary Wang Bi whispered a few words in Cao Cao's ear. "Oh?" Cao Cao was deeply surprised when he heard this, and his tone eased a lot: "You are Xu Gongming who guarded the emperor to fight in Cao Yang and fought back Li Jue?" "Don't dare to be. Diligent in the affairs of the emperor, I should do so." Hearing his humble words, Cao Cao turned his anger into joy, and asked again: "You persuaded Yang Fengbiao to play my official role and lured me to Beijing?" "The criminal will not dare to take the credit." Xu Huang's answer was still very cautious. "Innocence, get up." Cao Cao couldn't help nodding, "Why did you surrender the city?" Xu Huang stood up cautiously, cupped his hands and said, "There are public and private..." Cao Cao was quite interested: "What about the public? What about the private?" "Baibo's army was persecuted by the eunuchs because of the chaos and persecution. It was really a last resort. What he did was to eradicate the tyrants and wipe out the traitors. After the world was in chaos, Yang Feng and Han Xian could not protect the environment and the people, so they should choose the master and take office. Fortunately, Sheng Jia returned to the east. In the day, Li has the merits of the king of diligence, and he should submit to the court from the beginning to the end. The emperor moved the capital to the country, and Yang Feng and Han Xian wanted to support the army and retaliate. But the brothers who were born and died did not want to be thieves anymore. If you take refuge in the general, the best destination is to assist and protect the court! This is the public side." Xu Huang paused for a while and then said, "On the private side... the son of a good family in Xiaben, who was a county official, turned himself into a thief There is a saying that 'a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve'. I don't want to follow Yang Feng and Han Xian on the road of no return." "It's both public and private." Cao Cao was quite emotional, "The garrison in Liang County is still under your command. What is your position?" Xu Huang shyly said: "I am reluctant to be a captain, but... there is no seal." From the perspective of the imperial court's official system, the riding captain is a military officer of two thousand stones. Cao Cao was there when he suppressed the Yellow Turban.At the beginning, when Han Xian rescued him, he recommended his cronies arbitrarily, and his leaders were all captains of cavalry and school captains.At that time, the imperial court was still on the road of exile, and there were not enough seals, and sometimes just drawing a seal and ribbon would count as an official, and Xu Huang's high-ranking officials also came in this way. "I will give you a seal and ribbon from the imperial court! Go back and prepare your troops. If you can wipe out the rebels in Juan County and Yuanwu County on the North Road and Fuping, you will be rewarded more." "Thank you, General!" Xu Huang bowed deeply and was about to go back. Yu Jin, who was standing by the side, suddenly stepped out: "General, Liang County has not yet taken over, so why don't you stay with Captain Xu for a while, and ask him to send troops over after explaining the military affairs?" What can be explained about military affairs?This is obviously because he is afraid that Xu Huang will change when he goes back, and he will be detained in Cao Ying before taking over Liang County.Cao Cao looked at him and smiled slightly: "That's fine..." Zhu Ling who was next to him pulled Xu Huang's hand: "Brother Gongming, please come here!" Said, he gave up the top position.Xu Huang didn't dare to pretend to be himself, and the two of them made some excuses before standing up.Zhu Ling and Yu Jin looked at each other meaningfully, but neither of them said anything—in fact, Cao Ying, who seemed to be fighting against each other, was undercurrents surging.Yu Jin regarded himself as the number one general outside the Cao family, and most of the generals were from Yanzhou like him.Only Zhu Ling voluntarily surrendered from Yuan Shao's tent, and was excluded on weekdays, but today he can be counted as a non-direct descendant who tried his best to win him over. Cao Cao ignored so much: "Quickly spread the news to General Pian, King Youxian, and General Zhendong!" The soldiers passed on the general's orders one by one, and after a while, Liu Fu, Qubei, and Liu Bei walked into the tent.Before he had time to kneel down, Cao Cao raised his hand to stop: "The three generals have worked so hard, they are truly loyal and good men!" He didn't want to give actual rewards, so he talked more. "Serving for the imperial court, of course." The answers of the three people were similar. After returning to work, Cao Cao looked Liu Bei up and down: "Xuande, just now the two generals under your command took the lead, can you invite us to introduce you?" How dare Liu Bei say no, he cupped his hands and said, "Why not?" Then he walked to the tent and signaled Zhao Yun to call for someone. Cao Cao's heart was about to jump out, and he looked out with his hands on the case. The waiting for this moment was so tormenting, it seemed like a whole day had passed.At this moment, it is not so much admiration for these two generals, but curiosity and admiration... Appeared, the big red-faced man and the black-robed general came, and the two entered the tent to salute and knelt down in front of him. "The last general will see the general!" The two said in unison, bowing their heads. I don't know what kind of mentality caused it. When the mysterious general who thought about it day and night knelt in front of him, Cao Cao was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a long time. Let these two kneel for a long time. Wang Bi could see it clearly, and quickly squeezed his throat and coughed.Only then did Cao Cao come back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "Two generals please hurry up." "Thank you General." Cao Cao, the red-faced man on the left, has seen it before, but every time he sees it, he can't help sighing. The red face, lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and five long beards, this appearance is indeed too rare and too majestic.The black robe on the right hand side met Cao Cao face to face for the first time. This man is eight feet tall, but he is only twenty-four or five years old. He has a big dark and bright face with a wide forehead, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are romantic and handsome. With a slight beard under his chin, he is also a beautiful person. Cao Cao went from love to jealousy, from jealousy to doubt, from doubt to indignation—why did all the talented and beautiful people in the world go to Liu Bei's account? He couldn't help but look towards his own people: the first one is Yu Jin, who is mature and dignified and can be called a unique general, but his appearance is mediocre and his actions are reserved, and he is more depressed than a literati; Lai Gao, with compact facial features, squeezed together; the third is Zhu Ling, who is brave, resourceful and loyal, with a pair of big eyes always staring, and a chin that stretches to the sky, as if he is always trying to kill others; It’s Xu Huang, not to mention...the other side is all my family members, tall, short, fat, thin, and grimacing, only Xiahou Dun and Ren Jun are not bad. Come out... Cao Cao sighed and turned his head to look, Dian Wei and Xu Chu—these two are even more unrecognizable! "What is the general's name?" Cao Cao couldn't wait, and asked the red-faced man first. The big man stroked his long beard, then cupped his hands and said, "Under Guan Yu Guan Yunchang." "Listen to the accent, the general is from Hedong, right?" "To solve the good people in the Xiahe River." Cao Cao smiled and nodded as if drinking fine wine: "It is true that people say, 'Kandong is a chancellor, and Kansai is a general'. Xu Gongming, who surrendered to our army today, is also from Hedong, and now he is a captain of cavalry." The meaning of win-win in the words is ready to come out. Guan Yu remained silent and didn't talk to him at all.In this way, in front of a full camp of generals, Cao Cao couldn't be biased, so he couldn't continue talking, and asked instead: "Since the general is from Hedong, why is he in Liu Yuzhou's army?" Guan Yu cupped his hands and said: "To be honest, I was born in a poor and humble background, so I have no intention of being effective on the battlefield. Just because the local tyrants oppressed the people and robbed men and women, I was angry and killed the people's thieves!" Speaking of this, his Danfeng eyes suddenly Unconsciously staring up, the murderous intent of attacking people suddenly rose; Cao Cao couldn't help trembling slightly, but saw that he gradually regained his softness, "Oh... I am a tenant farmer who kills the master, and no one decides where to go. No way. He did not escape from his hometown and went into exile. Later, when the Yellow Turban rebelled, my envoy was recruiting troops in Zhuo County to fight against the enemy, and I joined the army." "The great man is in decline today, and it is also because of the powerful annexing the farmland and persecuting the people. Yun Chang dared to kill the wicked, and he could be called a hero at that time." Cao Cao directly called Guan Yu's Biaozi, bringing the distance closer, "Now it is more called He deserves to be a hero!" "I dare not." There are many people who are born with temperament, and Guan Yunchang seems to belong to this kind.It stands to reason that he was born as a tenant farmer and is also a fugitive in exile, so he would not have any noble self-cultivation at all.But even though he kneels here respectfully and humbly, he still gives people a dignified and unruly feeling, which is somewhat similar to Liu Bei. "Yun Chang, we two met once, I don't know if you still remember?" Cao Cao remembered that during the Battle of Tancheng, Guan Yu led more than ten cavalry to raid. Guan Yu didn't remember it at all. First, he believed that it was Cao Cao's general who supervised the war, but he didn't know that it was Cao Cao himself, and he didn't see his face clearly in a hurry; Wan, Zhan Yuan Shao, Zhan Yuan Shu, Zhan Lu Bu, went on a series of battles, so naturally he would not remember every battle.He said with shame on his face: "The last general really doesn't remember." Cao Cao looked around at everyone in the camp: "Generals, do you still remember that during the Battle of Tancheng, a general led more than ten cavalry up the hill and almost killed me? It was Guan Yunchang!" "Ah?!" Upon hearing this, everyone drew their swords and wanted to make a move. "Stop it all! Back then, we were enemies, but today we are friends. One moment and another moment." Cao Cao waved his hand, "Yun Chang, have you ever read?" "I have a rough knowledge of characters, but I like to read "Spring and Autumn Annals." Guan Yu's answer is very modest. If you can understand "Spring and Autumn Annals", you will be proficient in historical events, which is already very good. "I recall a past event... In the past, there were six officials in Jin State, did you know?" "Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, Bank of China." Guan Yu blurted out. "That's right. Zhiyao destroyed the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and Han Kangzi, Wei Huanzi, and Zhao Xiangzi also destroyed Zhiyao." Cao Cao then said what he wanted to say, "At that time, there was a Yurang, who was originally a minister of the Fan family. Had an enmity with Na Zhiyao, but Zhiyao treated him deeply regardless of the previous suspicions. Later, when Zhiyao died, Yurang stabbed Zhao Xiangzi twice but failed, so he begged for Zhao Xiangzi's clothes, and killed him by striking his clothes three times... It can be seen that there are many things in the world There are some flexibility!" This is a metaphor that he hopes to quote Guan Yu under his tent. Guan Yu understood what he heard, but cupped his hands and said, "I remember Yu Rang saying before his death that 'a loyal minister does not worry about death, and a wise lord does not conceal the righteousness of others'. I am deeply moved by this matter. Now that Liu Yuzhou stays here, he is also a member of the country and a brother, and I should also do it for the sake of not worrying about his life and death, and not letting others hide behind him." His meaning is very clear, he has followed Liu Bei with all his heart, and he would rather be After his death, he can no longer protect others. "Oh?" Cao Cao frowned, blocking everything he wanted to say. At this time, the black-robed general suddenly yelled sharply: "The three of us have been like brothers since we raised our troops, and Anke broke up with others. The general is too troublesome!" These words were not only arrogant and rude, but also deafeningly hoarse, all the generals in the camp were outraged, even Dian Wei and Xu Chu couldn't help but take a step forward.Liu Bei hurriedly stood in front of the man: "My third sworn brother has nothing to say, please forgive me, General!" Cao Cao swung back to the left and right: "I don't know what your general's name is?" The black-robed general refused to accept it and said indignantly: "A certain is Zhang Fei from Yan, and Liu Yuzhou and Guan Yunchang are sworn brothers with different surnames. Although the three of us are masters and servants, they are better than brothers and sisters. There was an oath before, not to be born on the same day in the same year, but I hope Die on the same day, same month, same year!" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha... don't expect to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but hope to die in the same year, the same month, the same day, he is an upright and loyal person!" Liu Bei was afraid that he would be hurt because of this, so he quickly pulled the two of them to their knees to plead guilty. "Hahaha..." Cao Cao's smile turned into a helpless wry smile at the end. He looked at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande, it's not easy to get these two generals... Please go back to the camp to rest." Once you get it, you can't kill it and make it quick, so why keep it in front of your eyes? The fate of people is determined by God, so why think too much if it is not mine... Cao Cao relieved himself for a long time, then raised his head and said: "The four generals have won today, let's go back to congratulate the Son of Heaven together." "Promise!" Dong Cheng, Liu Fu, Qubei, and Liu Bei all bowed and agreed. The army sang triumphant songs all the way back to Xudu, and all the soldiers were stationed outside the city.Emperor Liu Xie didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered a court banquet to be held to celebrate the achievements of the five people.Everyone surrounded Cao Cao to salute and congratulate him, even the seventy-year-old Zhang Jian also came.Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to invite him in a bus. The old man dared not show up for fear of harming his children and grandchildren. When he arrived in Xudu, he immediately worshiped Wei Weiqing. Cao Cao held Wei Wei Zhang Jian in one hand and Guang Lu Xun Huan Dian in the other, and said to Liu Fu: "Now the court officials have been appointed, and the emperor has his own guards and Guang Lu Xun to protect him. I think the prince's soldiers can be stationed outside the city with peace of mind. !” Wang Zifu contributed wood from Liang Guoling’s dorm to build a new palace, and completed the job of “guarding” the emperor’s relocation of the capital. For Cao Cao, he is of no use value, and he will just be rewarded with more rewards in the future. Immediately after the banquet, a decision was made that the right virtuous king of the Huns would go back to the country, Liu Bei, the eastern general of Muzhen in Yuzhou, would leave Xiaopei, and the partial general Prince Fu would station outside Xudu. Let Cao Cao be a foil!So far, all the armies in Gyeonggi have been divided and disintegrated, and only Cao Cao is the only one... After the banquet was over, Cao Cao returned to the shogunate. It was already dark, and Xue Ti and Li Dian were waiting quietly in the hall. They had just arrived from Yanzhou.Cao Cao hurriedly ordered people to hold a few more lamps, and listened carefully to the two of them explaining their errands. "Mancheng, you have done a good job in relocating refugees to assist in farming this time." Looking at the gradually brighter lights, Cao Cao found tears on the young man's face, "What's wrong with you?" Li Dian said in a hoarse voice, "Clan brother Li Zheng has passed away." Cao Cao also lamented after hearing this: "Your Li family has contributed a lot to helping me conquer Yanzhou. Li Zhengying died young, maybe God is jealous of talents... Mancheng, don't be sad." "The world is not in peace, how dare I be sad." Having said that, Li Dian's voice was still a little choked up.The Li family is the leading local tyrant in Yanzhou, how prosperous it was back then, but now that Li Qian, Li Feng, Li Jin, and Li Zheng are all dead, how can he not feel sad when he is left alone? "From now on, your uncle and your brother's teams will be handed over to you. In addition..." Cao Cao picked up a scroll on the table and shook it. Stand alone as a county, and you will be the sheriff of Lihu County." Even Xue Ti was taken aback by this remark—Li Dian is only seventeen years old!Even if Cao Cao is eager to promote the Li family, the burden is too heavy for this child. "I am young and have no talent or virtue, so I dare not accept this generous gift." Li Dian fell to his knees hastily. "Mancheng, you made a mistake. I appointed you as the sheriff, not to reward your family." Cao Cao walked up to him, looked at this young man who was about the same age as his son, "When Lu Bu and I competed for Yanzhou, Puyang City suffered from war, fire, and locusts, and the first city in Yanzhou was destroyed just like that. I want you to be the sheriff, because I hope you can appease the people, recruit the exiles, and restore the area. You are well-educated, although you are young, you He is more open-minded and sophisticated than the generals in the camp! Sun Ce can shock Jiangdong at such a young age, and you will certainly be able to govern the people well." He leaned forward and patted Li Dian on the shoulder, "I believe in you, and even more in the Li family. Prestige, only relying on the prestige of your Li family can restore that piece of land to its original appearance. Do you understand?" Hearing what he said, Li Dian agreed loudly: "For the sake of the general and the reputation of the Li family, I will do my best." "Very good..." Cao Cao suddenly leaned into his ear, "I made Liu Bei the shepherd of Yuzhou and asked him to station in Pei County. You should pay more attention to me in the east." Li Dian's eyes lit up: "The general will understand!" "Okay! It's getting late, go back and rest, don't be sad anymore. When the imperial edict comes down, go take office." Seeing that Li Dian had left, Xue Ti presented the documents Wan Qian had handed over—all reports on government affairs in Yanzhou.Cao Cao opened it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Lu Qian's arrest of robbers in Mount Tai was very effective!" "Lu Zige is a brave and powerful person, and he should be ruthless when dealing with lawbreakers. Sometimes killing people is more effective than anything else." Cao Cao combined the bamboo slips and said coldly: "Xiaowei, I want to cut Liu Bei's power. Divide Taishan County's Ying County and other five counties in the west into one county, and appoint Mi Zhu as the prefect of Ying County. There are only three in Ren Chengguo. County, I let Mi Fang be the city minister. I hope that the pair of gamblers will be grateful and repay me, and then bet for me. But if they can't be used by me..." "Then kill them!" Xue Ti added with falcon-like eyes. Cao Cao's eyes also burst into a fierce light: "I will transfer you to be the prefect of Mount Tai, and Lu Qian will be the captain of Mount Tai. The two of you join forces and keep a close eye on the brothers of the Mi family!" "promise!" "In addition... I have to have a relationship with Yuan Shao." Speaking of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's eyes dimmed again, "I plan to use his brother Yuan Xu as the prefect of Jiyin. This Yuan Xu is not far from Yuan Shao. Whether it is close or not, you have to pay attention to me." "No!" Xue Ti replied again, "If there is any treasonous act, I will kill him immediately!" Seeing Xue Ti's resolute expression, Cao Cao was quite satisfied.Now he only has one worry left, that is, Yuan Shao, who claims to be the general of chariots and riders in Hebei, as long as he keeps him steady, he can go to Zhangxiu with peace of mind... But thinking of Liu Bei who will leave Beijing tomorrow, Cao Cao still feels anxious—why can't Guan Yunchang be used by me?
