Chapter 28: Bai Deyi Qingzhou
The Yellow Turbans suddenly appeared all over the place, and they came fiercely. The governors and governors of various states also rushed to respond. Cao Cao's side, which was the first to prepare, seemed to be the first to show results. Perhaps the appearance of Wen Du disrupted the normal history.
As a result, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were scattered to the Thirteen Prefectures. It may also be because the time was advanced, so the number of Yellow Turbans who came to capture this prefecture was much smaller, and did not reach the number in history. Xun Yu may have taken a fancy to this, so he
Will choose to come to Qingzhou first instead of Yanzhou where Chen Liu is located.
"Reporting to my lord, our army has completely suppressed the Yellow Turban rebels in Qingzhou. Currently, they have killed about 20,000 enemies and captured a total of 33,000 people."
After listening to Xiahou Dun's report, Cao Cao felt very happy.
"Okay, let's put these 33,000 people under your command, temporarily called the Qingzhou Army."
"promise"
After Xiahou Dun walked out, Xun Yu walked in.
"My lord, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, wants to see you."
"Oh? Please quickly"
"promise"
…
"Qingzhou Governor Jiao He meets with General Cao"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. I wonder why you came to see Cao?"
"I came here specifically for two things. The first thing is to thank General Cao for his help in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans."
"What did you say, Sir Governor? It is the duty of a minister to fight against rebellion for the country. Why should I say thank you?"
"General Cao understands righteousness well and I respect you. The second thing is that I want to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of my honour, and ask General Cao to take over the position of governor of Qingzhou."
After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes widened a lot. His face was full of thoughts that he wanted to accept, but he couldn't say it. Xun Yu, who noticed Cao Cao's thoughts, immediately answered.
"Historical Jiao Ci is serious. My lord came to beg the thieves just because of the rampant Yellow Turban Army. My lord does not want to see any more people displaced. Please don't make random guesses about my lord's thoughts!"
Hearing that Xun Yu's words contained less anger, Jiao He's attitude became more sincere.
"I don't dare! Please listen to what I have to say. I have been favored by the emperor and took up the post of governor of Qingzhou. I have ambitions to repay the favor of heaven. I feel that although my Taoism is shallow, I can still fulfill my duties. However, since I have been awarded the Yellow Turban
Since the uprising, I have realized how talented and weak I am. Qingzhou is vast and densely populated, has many soldiers and generals, and abundant food and grass. However, under my command, I have been defeated by the Yellow Turbans again and again. Fortunately, General Zhu Jun came before me.
It was only by coming to help that the people here were saved from criticism. Then Dong Zhuo rebelled and caused trouble for the Han Dynasty. I was determined to send troops to respond to everyone's request to join the alliance. However, the Yellow Turbans rose again at that time. I relied on many soldiers in Qingzhou, so I wanted to divide my troops to take care of both. On the one hand, I left
The lower guard general was on guard against the Yellow Turbans. On the other hand, I personally led the troops to attack Dong. However, on the way, I was told that the Yellow Turbans were too powerful and they might not be able to defend themselves. They asked me to go back to support them. Comparing the two,

After that, I returned halfway. But even if I went back, with several times as many soldiers as the Yellow Turbans, I could only beat them away and not kill many bandits. Now that the Yellow Turbans have appeared for the third time, fortunately,
With the help of General Cao, in front of the general's elite troops, the Yellow Turban Uprising was completely destroyed. In this battle, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will definitely be wiped out. The general's talent is many times better than mine, so I have the courage to speak out and ask the general.
As the lord of Qingzhou, I would like to be a registrar to assist the general in managing the affairs of this state. I hope that generals will not refuse!"
Jiao He's attitude became more humble, and he bent even lower. Cao Cao in front of him looked at Xun Yu next to him, and saw Xun Yu nodding, indicating that the time was ripe.
"Cao's original intention here is to protect the country and the people, but since your Excellency trusts me so much, Cao will temporarily take over the position of governor for you."
Hearing Cao Cao's affirmation, Jiao He also raised his waist excitedly
"Thank you so much, General Cao! I will go back to my hometown to write a letter and report it to the emperor to show the general's utmost loyalty!"
"Thank you for your kind words, sir."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
…
Looking at Jiao He's retreating figure, Cao Cao finally no longer had to hide him.
"Wen Ruo, I have gained a lot from this visit."
"Congratulations, my lord, not only have you acquired a sergeant, but you have also acquired a state."
"When you persuaded me to come to Qingzhou first, did you already think of this situation?"
"I don't have such magical powers, I just guessed this possibility."
"Then guess again, now there is a new thing that worries me."
"I think my lord is worried about Yuan Shao."
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao could only nod in affirmation.
"Wen Ruo still understands me. Now that the emperor is in his hands, he will definitely read the above letter first. What if he doesn't give it to the emperor?"
"My lord, there is no need to worry, Yuan Shao will definitely agree."
"Why are you so sure?"
“First, it’s because it was Jiao He who came to the table;
The second reason is because the lord is still Yuan Shao’s friend.
The third reason is that Yuan Shao has no time to take care of him at the moment. It doesn’t matter who has Qingzhou in his hands. He can’t take it now anyway.”
"Well, thank you Wen Ruo for enlightening me. Now I am enlightened."
"Being able to answer your lord's doubts is a matter of duty."
"Hahaha~ I have Wenruo, just like the great ancestor had an ovary"
"My lord is ridiculous. Now that the situation in Qingzhou is about to stabilize, I suggest that your lord go and appease the Yellow Turban prisoners in person so that they can work for us in the future."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"

…………………………
"Report! General, there is a large army running towards us from the front."
"Where are you from?"
"The golden flag should be from Wuling County"
"Jin Xuan? Damn it, this is a premeditated trick!"
As the army intercepted him, Wei Yan could only stop. Taking this opportunity, Wen Du and others finally caught up with him, and Wei Yan told them about this.
"What about Jin Xuan? Is he considered a friendly army?"
"We are not familiar with him, and we don't usually have much contact with him. But now that he has sent troops to come towards us, Cai Mao must have bribed him!"
"What about Huang Zu from Jiangxia?"
"He himself is from the Jiangxia noble family, and he has a good personal relationship with the lord. He should not be bribed by Cai Hao."
After listening to Wei Yan's words, Wen Du thought about it for a long time and finally decided on an extremely risky method.
"Change the direction, take a gamble, and pass through Jiangxia County to Lujiang. That is our territory. Once we get there, we will be safe."
"As of now, that's all it can do."
After making up their minds, the group started to head towards Jiangxia County, where they didn't know whether they were friends or foes...
In Yangzhou, Sun Ce and others were also searching for the Yellow Turban Army.
"It's strange. There are more or less some in other places. Why can't you see a single yellow turban thief here?"
Facing Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu blurted out:
"Because this is Danyang County, I'm afraid the Danyang soldiers have already killed them all."
"Ah? Are these Danyang soldiers so ferocious?!"
"That's why I asked you to bypass Danyang and go straight to Wu County at the beginning. Otherwise, you might die here with your little strength."
Sun Ce, who heard Zhou Yu's threats, was not only not afraid, but also laughed.
"If this is really the case, there will definitely be a battle in the future!"
"Don't worry, that day will come soon, so before that, you should seize the time and improve your strength to avoid being killed accidentally."
"Hmph! I, Sun Ce, will become the best general in the world sooner or later!"
"In that case, then I will be the best counselor in the world and assist you."
"It's a deal?"
"a man of his words"
…
Under the setting sun, two high-spirited teenagers confided their ambitions to each other, but the more ambitious the goal, the more difficulties there are. Come on, young man!
