Chapter 84: Why is Jia Xu afraid of the military master?!!

The next day, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had led the troops back, and the disaster relief work and pacifying the prisoners in the city were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Cao Chen led everyone to a palace, sitting opposite each other with a relaxed face, and Cao Chen said after a slight groan.

“Now that the battle has been decided, Yuan Dao’s father and son have been captured, and I have collected nearly 100,000 prisoners of the Yuan army during this trip, but there are uneven among them.”

“Next, on the side of Shouchun City, the main thing to do is to select the available soldiers from the prisoners, and the old, weak, sick, and disabled must be eliminated.”

“Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, I will cut at least half of them to restore production near Shouchun and firmly occupy this place.”

Cao Chen paused slightly when he said this, after all, the next step was to arrange for generals to be stationed here, just like Cao Hong in Chang’an.

However, the counties around Shouchun are not as strict and dangerous as Chang’an, but the location is dangerous, and everyone is intentional.

Xia Hou didn’t care, he was more willing to gallop through the battlefield than to garrison a place, Cao Chen said after thinking about it.

“Shouchun is garrisoned by General Zixiao, leading 20,000 infantry, and Wen Yuan, as the deputy general, leads more than 10,000 cavalry to jointly defend this place.”

“In addition to selecting the soldiers suitable for our army from the prisoners, you and the other two should also strengthen their control over the surrounding counties.”

“Although I and Sun Bofu are allies and have a good relationship, we must not be less of a county that should be occupied, and at the same time strengthen the training of soldiers!”

“The last general’s order!”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong handed over their orders, and a glint flashed in their eyes, and Cao Chen looked at Xun You again and said slowly.

“Gongda, the political affairs here still need you to do, the deployment of the people and the arrangement of the return of the people to the counties.”

“In addition, the soldiers eliminated from the captives should do a good job of resettlement, and assign them ownerless land to cultivate.”

“If you can ensure the rigor, you can allocate potatoes from Yuzhou, a high-yield crop, which can be used as military food reserves!”

“As for the plans of some counties, when the time comes, you can make your own decision after discussing with Zixiao and Wen Yuan.”

“No!”

Xun You handed over the order, Cao Chen looked at everyone, his face became relaxed, and said loudly.

“The rest of tomorrow will return to Xudu with me, I believe that the lord has already prepared Du Kang wine and waited for me to return!”

“Zizhan can’t favor one over the other, you have to transport some Du Kang wine from Xudu, this Yangzhou wine is very bland and tasteless!”

Cao Ren hurriedly said, everyone let out a burst of laughter, and then left separately, arranging for the soldiers to prepare for evacuation.

On the other side, Xuzhou, Xia Ping.

Liu Bei and everyone had come to the outside of the city, marching in the starry night at Pang Tong’s suggestion, after all, Lü Bu had just captured Pengcheng and other counties.

Now, while Lü Bu and Chen Gong had not learned the news of Yuan Dao’s defeat, they did not take Xia Pi and other counties by surprise.

However, the defense of Xia Pi City is still stronger than other county towns, although the garrison is not much, and it will take some time to break through.

However, under Pang Tong’s planning, coupled with the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, after paying the price of thousands of soldiers, he still easily won Xia Bing.

When it was dark, Liu Bei had already led the troops to the station, and Xia Bing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went first to take over the city defense, increasing the scouts and patrolling soldiers.

After all, now that Liu Bei only has this county town left, he has to be cautious, and Liu Bei and Pang Tong came to the council room, Liu Bei spoke.

“This time it’s still thanks to the military division, if it is not a rapid march, wait for Lu Fengxian to react to increase the troops, I don’t know how much it will cost to take Xia Ping!”

“However, I wait for the current strength of only more than 30,000, and do not support me to continue the attack, how does the military division think I should arrange it next?”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, his eyes looked at Pang Tong eagerly, if there was no Pang Tong’s plan, I am afraid that there would not even be a place to stay.

“Lord Qiyu, the city of Xia Pi is well defended, and I have 30,000 soldiers and soldiers who are enough to defend this Xia Pi strongly, and the safety of my waiting is guaranteed.”

“This trip to crusade against Yuan Highway has gained fame, and people with lofty ideals in the world will add three points to the recognition of the lord.”

“Although I have lost some counties, I have also left the attention of most of the princes, and I can start to develop low-key.”

Pang Tong’s explanation can only be regarded as a comfort, Liu Bei thought that this Xuzhou thorn history has not been done for many days, and now there is only one county left to control.

However, hearing the low-key development mentioned by Pang Tong made Liu Bei’s face shine again, and his expression was not as endless as before, and he said loudly.

“I also ask the military master to explain how I and the two righteous brothers need to cooperate, despite the order!”

Liu Bei’s attitude made Pang Tong very satisfied, after all, there are not many lords who can accept all their opinions, Pang Tong said confidently.

“First of all, what I have to wait for is to recruit soldiers, 30,000 soldiers is indeed not much, and there are even fewer compared to other princes, this cannot be stopped.”

“The lord’s prestige among the people is relatively high, and if he does more things close to the people, it will be easier to recruit soldiers and horses.”

“Secondly, befriend the family, after all, the lord is now the history of Xuzhou thorn, which is very attractive to some families with good reputations!”

When Pang Tong said this, he paused slightly, watching Liu Bei’s face change, after all, this is equivalent to selling an official lord.

But the good thing is to take what you need, Liu Bei pondered for a moment and nodded emphatically, and then Pang Tong continued.

“With the support of the family, I will have the money and food to recruit soldiers, and the lord is not married, and marriage is also a means.”

“If there is an accident, you can get married the next day after making a marriage contract, so that. I can change the help of a family. ”

“That Mi family must have already defected to Lü Bu, otherwise how can the three generals make a mistake with the gift of fine wine, and the previous marriage contract can not be counted.”

Pang Tong’s words made Liu Bei’s face a little gloomy, after all, his fiancée was snatched away twice, and they were all very beautiful.

This could not help but make Liu Bei feel a little heartache but helpless, after hearing Pang Tong’s heart-wrenching suggestion, Liu Bei immediately echoed.

“The military master’s words are reasonable, but try to choose one with a solid family background, so that it will help me and others more!”

Liu Bei’s cheerful answer made Pang Tong’s heart free, but his face changed solemnly and said aloud.

“This time, I waited to win Xia Ping relatively easily, because of the poor information, I should train the organization to transmit messages and inquire about news.”

“In this way, I can get the news faster and take the lead, I have thought of the name, it is called the black guard!”

At the same time, the news of Yuan Shu’s capture spread to the states and counties, which made the princes of the world who were watching the drama in an uproar.

After all, Yuan Shu was a large number of generals, but he was destroyed in a short period of time, although Sun Ce’s rebellion added some trouble to Yuan Shu.

However, it was Cao Jun who destroyed the main force of Yuan Shu, and the last hand flooded Shouchun, which made many princes pay more attention to Cao Chen.

The vassals couldn’t help but re-examine Cao Cao’s strength, and the number of vassals who wanted to send envoys to Xudu to befriend Cao Cao gradually increased.

This made Cao Cao, who received the letter from the flying pigeon at the first time, couldn’t help but be even happier, and Cao Cao immediately pulled Xun Yu and Guo Jia and others to set up a banquet in the mansion.

After the cultivation of the two divine doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, coupled with the practice of the Five Bird Opera every morning, Guo Jia and Ju Zhicai’s health gradually improved, and they could drink a little alcohol.

The four of them sat opposite each other in the courtyard of the Cao Mansion, each with delicacies and a small jug of wine on the table in front of them, Guo Jia said with a smile.

“Lord Sikong, Zizhan destroyed Yuan Highway so quickly, don’t we drink more alcohol?”

Guo Jia saw this small wine jug and thought, although Cao Cao was in a happy mood, but he still remembered Cao Chen’s advice, and replied aloud.

“Fengxiao, this is already a lot, if you let Zizhan know, you can’t drink a sip of Du Kang wine!”

“You know that this Du Kang wine is brewed by Zi Zhan, and there is also a more authentic Du Kang wine, which has not been taken out yet.”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a stern face, and a smile also appeared on the faces of Ju Zhicai and Xun Yu, and Guo Jia said with a smile.

“Enough, this Du Kang wine is mellow and spicy, this small pot is enough for me to drink!”

After Cao Cao and the others smiled and drank a few cups, they began to talk, attitude = a lot more casual, Cao Cao said in a slight whisper.

“Zizhan let Zixiao, Wen Yuan and Gongda stay in Shouchun this time, is this Sun Bofu really such a big threat?”

“Or is that Zhou Gongjin beside Sun Bofu has an amazing strategy, what do you think is the deep meaning of Zi Zhan?”

In the face of the question raised by Cao Cao, a trace of inexplicability flashed in the eyes of Guo Jia and the others, and Xun Yu said after a little thought.

“Lord Qi, Zi Zhan’s move is to restrict Sun Bofu’s development, and no matter how he develops, he can’t cross the river unless he wants to be an enemy of me!”

“And as long as the development speed of my wait is faster than that of Sun Bofu, they will not dare to come and invade me and wait, and the development is only in the south.”

Listening to Xun Yu’s analysis, Cao Cao and Ju Zhicai were thoughtful, while Guo Jia added with a smile on his face.

“Not only that, Zizhan did this not only to restrict Sun Bofu, but also for Xuzhou.”

“Lu Fengxian can occupy Xuzhou now, he should have Zizhan means, otherwise it will not be so easy.”

“Although Pang Shiyuan will advise the guards in Pengcheng, it seems that Zizhan has succeeded in planning now.”

Cao Cao and Xun Yu both looked at Guo Jia with some surprise, and Xun Yu asked directly.

“Fengxiao, how do you know the news of Xuzhou so clearly, normally, the news has not yet reached Xudu!”

“Before Zizhan set out on the expedition, he told me and Zhicai that Wen He only mastered Jinyiwei and was a little talented, let me wait to squeeze it at any time!”

Guo Jia and Ju Zhicai looked at each other and said with a smile, Cao Chen and Xun Yu understood this, but Guo Jia said with a little doubt.

“But Wen He seems to be a little afraid of Zi Zhan, is it because Zi Zhan invited him over at that time!”
