I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 287 Returning to Ye City

Cao Cao directly explained Su Ming's purpose. Since this is the case, Su Ming naturally has no need to hide it.

Su Ming nodded, and said to Cao Cao, "Nowadays, half of the world is in the hands of the Prime Minister."

"If there is another war, Jingxiang must be taken first. If Jingxiang is not taken, the world will not be peaceful."

"If you take Jingxiang, Jiangdong Sun Quan will definitely not sit idly by."

"So, I want to invite Wen Yuan to sit in Hefei, and we will be horns with me to contain Sun Quan."

"To tell you the truth, the Prime Minister, I don't feel at ease whoever sits in Hefei, only Wen Yuan sits in Hefei, I can feel at ease!"

In the history of the previous life, when Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei, he broke [-], making Zhang Babai's great reputation.

Let's just put it this way, Zhang Liaotian defeated Sun Quan.

With Zhang Liao around, no matter how many troops Sun Quan had in his hands, it would be useless.

On the side, after Zhang Liao heard Su Ming's words, he was extremely moved!

Especially, when Su Ming said that no one in Hefei can rest assured, only him.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, the young master handed over his back to me!

After Cao Cao listened to Su Ming's words, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

As a master of military affairs, Cao Cao naturally knew that what Su Ming said was very reasonable.

The next time the sword is used, it must be the land of Jingxiang.Deploying Zhang Liao to Hefei in advance to contain Sun Quan is indeed very beneficial to the overall situation.

After thinking about this, Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, would you like to guard Hefei?"

"Little general, yes!" Zhang Liao replied without any hesitation.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, the young master trusts me so much, how can I live up to the young master's trust.

Seeing Zhang Liao's willingness, Cao Cao immediately named Zhang Liao the prefect of Huainan and general Zhengdong, who was in charge of Hefei.

Next, Cao Cao rewarded the soldiers who followed Su Ming to break Wuhuan Mountain one by one.

However, only Su Ming was left uncanonized.

"My son has made a lot of contributions, let's wait until we return to Yecheng, and then canonize with the generals!" Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao's soldiers guarding Liucheng have not been rewarded yet?
After Cao Cao planned to return to Yecheng, he would conduct a unified official reward.

Including these generals under Su Ming, Cao Cao is only giving verbal rewards now, and the formal rewards have to wait until they return to Yecheng. ,

As for why he returned to Yecheng instead of Xudu?

Here is another thought of Boss Cao.

Boss Cao wants to move the capital.

Move the capital from Xuchang to Yecheng.

In terms of city size, population, location and many other factors, Yecheng is more suitable as the capital than Xuchang.

At the beginning, when Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, he chose Xuchang as his capital, which was also a helpless choice.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's territory was not large, and there were not many places that could be used as capitals, so he had to choose Xuchang.

Now, after annexing Yuan Shao's territory, Cao Cao's territory has more than doubled!

Under such circumstances, Yecheng is obviously more suitable as the capital than Xuchang.

After Cao Cao discussed his ideas with the officials, he also got the approval of the officials.

After the power and territory have expanded, it is normal to want to use another place as the capital.

Therefore, Cao Cao said that he would go back to Yecheng for the reward, instead of returning to Xudu for the reward.

After resting in Liucheng for a few days, the army was ready to return to Yecheng.

After leaving behind Zhang Xiu and [-] troops, Su Ming was in charge of opening the way ahead, and the army marched all the way towards Yecheng.

This time, good friends Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu separated.

Zhang Xiu stayed in Liucheng to guard the frontier, while Jia Xu was reused by Cao Cao because of his outstanding performance this time, and was kept by his side.

Su Ming led the way for Prime Minister Cao. Along the way, the people heard that Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu had been defeated, and they lined up to greet each other.

After winning this battle, Prime Minister Cao's prestige has reached its peak.

In the past, when people mentioned Cao Cao, they might have been negative rumors.

What, the name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief.

What, assist the emperor to order the princes!

But now, when people mention Cao Cao, it is he who defeated the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Huns who had harassed the frontier for years.

At this time, even those scholars who think highly of themselves dare not insult Cao Cao.

Now, if anyone dares to scold Cao Cao, the people in the world will not spare him first.

Yecheng.

In Su Ming's courtyard.

"My lady, this Xu You is too much!"

"He actually ordered some rascals to come to our place to make trouble, and he didn't even look at who you belong to!" the servant girl complained to Zhen Mi.

At the beginning, when he was in Beiping, Cao Pi was beaten up by Su Ming.

Moreover, Cao Pi is a peacemaker, and since he decided to go to war, Cao Cao sent Cao Pi back to Yecheng.

Cao Cao's old friend Xu You also returned to Yecheng with Cao Cao.

Cao Pi went back to Yecheng, and Xu You also went back to Yecheng. The two of them were so cool that they got to play together for some reason.

These days, Cao Pi drank with Xu You all day long, and when drinking with Xu You, he flattered and flattered Xu You, as if he really regarded Xu You as his uncle.

When he was drunk, Cao Pi's mouth became unguarded. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Cao Pi vented all his dissatisfaction with Su Ming.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested!

Xu You thought to himself, Cao Pi called me uncle, I can't see my nephew being wronged.

Xu You has no way to deal with Su Ming, but Su Ming's woman, Zhen Mi, is in Yecheng!
The Xu family is the local snake in Yecheng, and there are plenty of solutions for a woman.

Xu You sent people to find some rascals, and they gathered in front of Su Ming's mansion all day long, pointing fingers.

Said that Zhen Mi did not abide by women's morals, and said that Zhen Mi should commit suicide to keep her innocence.

However, this is Su Ming's mansion after all, so they can only yell outside and dare not come in to make trouble.

Zhen Mi's psychological quality is very good, and she also understands that Su Ming is sincerely treating her well.

Therefore, Zhen Mi stayed in the mansion all day long, never going out, and didn't care about the gossip outside.

Zhen Mi didn't care, but it pissed off the maids in the mansion.

Today, when the maid went out to buy groceries, a few rascals came up, pointing and swearing non-stop.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

"Mouths grow on other people's mouths, so they can say whatever they like, so let's not listen!" Zhen Mi smiled slightly, without any sign of anger.

The servant girl curled her lips and said angrily: "When the young master comes back, I have to complain to the young master and kill them all."

Zhen Mi tapped the maidservant's forehead with her hand, and scolded with a smile: "You, how can you be so murderous at such a young age."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about them!"
