[69 Book Bar - www.] "Uh~~~" At this question, Cao Jun's generals, including Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Xia Houchun, were all stunned. Everyone knew what Pan Cheng's words meant.

.

What he means is: Sili is an unmanaged land, and whoever robs it belongs to him. In fact, Zhao Yun only robbed Yongning, which is closer to Yiyang. This is mainly because he did not have an order from his lord. If there was an order, it is estimated that Xia Yun

Hou Yuan and the others would not be able to capture so many cities!

"Okay~! General Pan, we misunderstood this time~~~" After hearing this, Xia Houyuan blushed and explained: "If nothing happens, let's take our leave first~~!"

"Generals, I won't send you off anymore~~" Pan Cheng saw that they were about to leave but couldn't get rid of them, so he quickly clasped his fists at them...

"Farewell~!" After the generals bowed their hands to each other, they turned their horses and headed towards their own troops.

"Brother Xia Hou~ Now that Yongning's matter is a foregone conclusion, why not return to Dongjun now and report the situation to the lord~!" Cao Hong saw that Yongning had been captured by Yao Bin's men, and now most of the Sili were in their hands.

Then he suggested to Xia Houyuan.

"Hmm~~~Brother Chun~I ordered you to lead 30,000 troops and stationed in Hongnong County to stabilize the situation in the surrounding counties~!" Xia Houyuan also agreed to Cao Hong's suggestion to return to the army, so Xia Houchun beside him ordered

road.

"Yes, big brother!" Xia Houchun listened to his brother's words very much, so he immediately agreed to go and prepare the army.

"General, do you think Cao Cao's army will come back to attack us?" Pan Cheng's deputy general asked him as he watched Cao Cao's army split into two and go in different directions.

"They don't even dare to leave because of their courage. Let's go back to the city to train our soldiers~" Pan Cheng said confidently, but turned his horse's head and headed towards the city.

.....Dongjun, Yanzhou!

"My lord~~~General Xiahou has returned~!" In the lobby, an old steward reported to Cao Cao.

"Oh~~ You're back so soon?" Cao Cao put down the paper in his hand and asked the steward with squinted eyes.

"Go back to my lord, the two generals have already left the mansion at this time and should be arriving soon~" the old steward responded to Cao Cao's words.

"See you, my lord~!" As he was speaking, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, and Shi Guangyuan came to the lobby in a simple manner.

"Hahaha~~~Wonderful talent~! Why did you come back so quickly?" Cao Cao asked knowingly.

"Reporting to Brother~~~Sili~~~We have captured all of them except Yongning. I came back here to report to Brother!" Xia Houyuan reported to Cao Cao in a somewhat feeble manner.

"Well~~ Come on, everyone, sit down~! Let's talk about Yongning's situation!" Cao Cao was not too entangled in his clan brothers about Yongning. In order to make them feel more comfortable, Cao Cao quickly asked a few people to sit down and talk.

.

"Come here~~~ Serve the wine and food~!" Cao Cao saw everyone sitting down, but immediately asked his subordinates to prepare the food and wine, intending to help Xia Houyuan and his party!

"Brother~~I will apologize~!" Xia Houyuan was sitting there with a knot in his heart, so he stood up and knelt down in the middle of the hall.

"Lord, brother~~I will finally apologize~" After Cao Hong and Shi Guangyuan saw Xia Houyuan's actions, they must have no choice but to follow him and apologize together.

"Wonderful talent~~This~is your fault~! In war there is always a winner and a loser~~What's the crime if you lose?" Cao Cao said generously: "Get up first and have a glass of wine with me, here you go

Let the wind wash away the dust~ You are all heroes~~haha~~~"

Cao Cao was still very satisfied with the result. At least Zhuge Liang's first step plan was successfully implemented, and his territory expanded a lot, as well as population, taxation, army...

"This~~~" Xia Houyuan was still a little embarrassed.

"Miaocai, if you are so coquettish~~Then I won't send you in the next war~!" Seeing Xia Houyuan's appearance, Cao Cao stimulated Xia Houyuan with a smile on his face.

"Uh~~ Big brother~~ This can't be done~! How come we don't have the younger brother's share in the war~!" Xia Houyuan became anxious after hearing this.

"Then why don't you guys sit down for me?" Cao Cao shouted in fear.

"Come here~~ invite all the military advisors to the lobby!" Seeing a few of them getting up to sit down, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers standing at the door.

"Lord~~~" After Cheng Yu, Xun You, Zhuge Liang and other counselors came to the hall, they first saluted Cao Cao, then bowed their hands to the generals around them, and finally sat down one after another.

"Okay~~We're all here~~ha~~~" Cao Cao clapped his hands on his thighs, took a sip of the drink that was just handed to him, and said to Xia Houyuan: "Miaocai, now you can tell me about your battle situation.

~~~”

"It's the elder brother~~~" After hearing this, Xia Houyuan also picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. Then he explained to everyone how he captured the five counties and cities of Sili so quickly. After listening, everyone

They all nodded and praised Shi Guangyuan.

"So~~it was Yao Bin's subordinates who were good at making claims and took away Yongning County that belonged to me~" After hearing this, Cao Cao blew his beard and said helplessly.

"It's exactly ~brother~! This person seems to be Pan Cheng, the deputy general of the former Nanyang guard Zhao Yun!!" Xia Houyuan recalled the news he had learned before and reported to Cao Cao.

"Zhao Yun? Pan Cheng?" Cao Cao rolled his eyes and kept mumbling their names: "I haven't heard of them~! They seem to be the Nanyang guards who surrendered to Yao Bin!"

"It's indeed the two of them~!" Xia Houyuan came back from the side!

"Now that we have captured Sili, and brother Zhou Ping has reached an alliance with Lu Bu, so in the west, our army mainly needs to defend against the newly recovered Sili and Bingzhou Yuan Shao's army in the north! As long as we defend it well

Along the Yellow River, Yuan Shao has nothing to do!" Cao Cao shook his body and said: "Xun or~~ I would like you to go to Hongnong and help Yuan Rang guard the fords along the Yellow River and manage the various cities and counties.

It’s a daily routine~!”

"My subordinates take orders~~!" After Xun You heard Cao Cao's order, he quickly stood up and took orders!

"Hmm~~~" Cao Cao nodded, motioned Xun or to sit back in his seat, and then asked them: "Now that Sili has just been captured, the people of the city need to be comforted, so you have to worry more~~

If there is not enough, just transport it from Xuchang and Dongjun~~!"

Sili was already affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and the rebellion of the alliance of princes. Basically all the people there fled to other cities, and the few people who stayed behind were unwilling to leave their homes.

People and aristocratic families...

"Although my lord has relaxed his mind, my subordinates will make Sili a rich land no less rich than Xuzhou~" Xun You promised confidently.
