The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 112 Entering Xuzhou
"General, why don't you ambush outside the city? If you do this, you can defeat the enemy." On the mountain far away from Fenggao City, Zhang Liao watched the battle outside Fenggao City. Seeing Cao Ren leading the army away, Zhang Liao asked Guo Jia beside him suspiciously.

"Ambush can be won, but if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. The gain is not worth the loss. We only need to take down Fenggao. Moreover, the hidden guards came to report that Jizhou Yuan Shao has entered Bingzhou and began to recruit troops. His strength has increased dramatically. For some time to come, Yuan Shao will be the lord's formidable enemy, so don't lose too many troops here, and save your strength to guard against Yuan Shao." From Guo Jia's point of view, it is enough to take down Feng Gao smoothly, and as for annihilating Cao Ren's troops, there is no such thing Necessary, Liu Bei does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands now.

"However, military advisor, if Cao Ren leads this army to Xuzhou to reinforce Cao Cao, the lord's army will not be in danger?" Cao Ren still has more than 3 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he definitely has a strong fighting power.

"General Zhang is at ease, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses will be stationed in the south city to prevent our army from entering Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao is strong in the north. I predict that the battle of Xuzhou will end soon. No matter who the lord and Cao Cao are in Xuzhou, they will be separated. Strike to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking." Guo Jia was very sure that Cao Ren would not go to Xuzhou, and the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao for Xuzhou would be over.Whoever has the upper hand will be the new master of Xuzhou, and the weaker side will definitely withdraw from Xuzhou. All this is because Yuan Shao suddenly became stronger, so both Liu Bei and Cao Cao had to save their strength to deal with Yuan Shao.

"General Zhang, send troops and horses to occupy the counties of Mount Tai. The officials sent by Gongtai should have entered the land of Mount Tai. Let them take over the government affairs of the counties. Another [-] troops will be stationed in Gai County to defend against Cao's army in Jiyin. The rest of the army will be stationed in Fenggao. , but Mount Tai will not be lost." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he led people away to Feng Gao, who has now been taken over by Tai Shici and others.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Decree! Bury Taozhou's herdsmen generously, appease the people of Xuzhou, and let the county chiefs come to Xiapi to discuss important matters." After Xiahouyuan left Xiapi City, Liu Bei led his army into Xiapi.

Now Xiahouyuan burned the mountains of food and grass in Xiapi City, and killed Tao Qian's family. Although a lot of food was lost, it also solved a big problem for Liu Bei.

It's not that Cao Cao didn't know that keeping Tao Qian would hinder Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou, but he attacked Xuzhou this time in the name of avenging his father. Tao Qian couldn't stop Liu Bei from taking control of Xuzhou, so he simply cut off Tao Qian's entire family and gave an explanation to the people all over the world. He really came to avenge his father, not to seek the land of Xuzhou.

At this point, the Xuzhou War officially ended, and Liu Bei became the final winner. Not only did he seize the entire rich land of Xuzhou, but he also occupied Taishan County in Yanzhou. Xuzhou is a county with a large population, which is not comparable to Qingzhou.

"My lord, all the Xuzhou officials who were detained by Xia Houyuan have been released, and they are all waiting outside the door." Dian Wei came to report that all the Xuzhou officials had been rescued.

"Everyone, I'm here to welcome you." After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately took Chen Ziming and others out to meet the officials of Xuzhou. These officials were not ordinary people. They were all the real rulers of Xuzhou. The head of the family, such as the largest family in Xuzhou, the Chen family, the head of the family Chen Gui, the future head of the family Chen Deng, the Mi family Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, etc. Liu Bei wants a stable Xuzhou, these people must not be offended.

At least, before he allowed the talents he cultivated to fully master Xuzhou, these people still had to be stable.This is what Chen Ziming and Liu Bei have planned long ago. First stabilize the local clans, and then let the talents they cultivated gradually master the government affairs of each region. There was a quarrel with Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Bei still has to use talents. After all, such a large territory requires a lot of capable people. They can help Liu Bei manage the territory, but they must not be the emperor of a land, oppressing the people, and harming the place.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei and Chen Ziming want to vigorously cultivate their own talents to replace the monopoly management of local clans. You can be rich, but you cannot be outside the law.

"Meet the General!"

As soon as Liu Bei walked out of the gate, a group of Xuzhou officials dressed in Xuanhua but looking tired hurriedly saluted Liu Bei.

Tao Qian's entire family has been cut off. Now Liu Bei's army has occupied Xiapi. Cao Cao's army has begun to push out Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou's new owner is Liu Bei. Although they are local clans, they are compared with Liu Bei's princes. Not too far.

"Be late, let everyone suffer, follow me in and rest quickly." Liu Bei hastily returned the salute, and then led everyone into the main hall, where food was already set up for the group of uncles who had just come out of the cell to eat.

After drinking and eating, we started to get down to business.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for stopping the atrocities committed by the Cao bandits, and saving the people of Xuzhou from fire and water. Now the entire family of the state herdsman has been killed by the Cao bandits, and Xuzhou has no owner. Let us discuss, and the emperor's benevolence should be jointly signed by the emperor. Please invite the emperor to take control of Xuzhou , Ren Zhou Mu, has kept Xuzhou safe." The first clan in Xuzhou, the Chen family, Chen Gui, took the lead and invited Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou.

Now that Tao Qian has died, there is no need for a trick of giving way and pushing three times. Xuzhou officials come to a joint petition, and Liu Bei can follow the trend to take over Xuzhou.

Liu Bei shied away a little, and took over Xuzhou Mu, and then went to show up to the emperor, and went through the motions, even if he didn't get the emperor's final edict, it didn't matter, anyway, no one really cares about it.

A few days later, Cao Cao's army all withdrew from Xuzhou, and Liu Bei officially took over everything in Xuzhou. He began to reward the soldiers of the three armies and appoint officials from all over the country.

Of course, it is indispensable to attract people from clans from all over Xuzhou, especially Liu Bei's engagement to the younger sister of Mi Zhu, a rich businessman in Xuzhou, and choose an auspicious day to welcome Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu's younger sister, as his wife.

Not a concubine, but a wife, Liu Bei's No.1 wife, according to the rules, if Liu Bei wins the world in the future, Mi Zhen will be the queen's No.1 choice, which makes people of all ethnic groups in Xuzhou feel at ease. The impact on the Xuzhou clan is very large, who makes them rich.

Now it is even more different. Mi Zhu is not only rich, but also powerful. Liu Bei's brother-in-law is no joke. Liu Bei is now a powerful prince, and even a prince like Cao Cao is no match for him.

Liu Bei appeases the Xuzhou clan, and after appointing officials from all over the country, Xu Shu is left to govern Xuzhou. Zhao Yun is the commander of the Xuzhou army, leading [-] troops to garrison Xuzhou.
