Only then did he realize that the person in front of him who was helping him up was actually a young boy. He felt a little dazed in his heart and asked, "What's going on?"
But don't want to,
This young man whose hair has not yet fully grown,
Suddenly he said to himself: "I am Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, and my father is Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, Cao Mengde."
Seeing Zhang Liao staring at Cao Ang blankly, his mind hadn't turned around yet.
Lu Yan couldn't help but add on Cao Ang's behalf: "Zixiu is Cao Gong's eldest son. He led 10,000 soldiers to defend Juancheng."
Cao Ang was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed. After all, his seemingly great achievements actually contained a lot of merit.
Zhang Liao finally realized that the person in front of him was the eldest son of his current lord!
"Ah! He is actually the eldest young master!"
So Zhang Liao immediately clasped his fists and tried to bow again.
Cao Ang quickly supported Zhang Liao and prevented him from bowing down, "General, there is no need to be polite. From now on, we are a family!"
A family...Zhang Liao suddenly felt like he was returning to his roots.
The army entered Juancheng.
After two years of expansion, Juancheng can accommodate a mere 30,000 troops, which is more than enough.
After everyone rested for a while,
In the governor's mansion,
Lu Yan, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Xia Houlan, Zhang Liao and Cao Ang lined up on both sides of the meeting hall.
Xun Yu, who was standing at the top of the council hall,
After looking around at Lu Yan and others for a while,
A smile finally appeared on his face, and he bowed his hands and said:
"Yu, on behalf of my lord and the people in the city, thank you for your support from thousands of miles away!"
Lu Yan laughed and said, "Wen Ruo, although we haven't seen each other for a while, we shouldn't be so close, right?"
"That's right, I said I wanted to have a drink with you, but it turned out to be so boring, forget it..." Guo Jia even glanced at Xun Yu with disgust.
Regarding Guo Jia, his former classmate and friend, Xun Yu had not been able to do much with him.
After hearing Guo Jia's resignation, Xun Yu could only smile bitterly and said: "I still have endless official work to do. Why don't you come and help me finish the work as a filial piety, and then I will drink with you until dawn?"
"You really have a beautiful idea!" Unsurprisingly, Guo Jia sternly refused...
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere, Zhang Liao's feeling of strangeness and uneasiness finally gradually dissipated.
Xun Yu saw an unfamiliar face, and he immediately thought of General Lu Bu who had been persuaded to surrender by Lu Yan.
So he raised his hands and exchanged greetings: "This must be General Zhang Wenyuan! I have admired his name for a long time!"
Zhang Liao quickly clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "A mediocre person from Liao... dare not be praised by Xun."
After some introductions and pleasantries, they finally got down to business.
"Next, we need to make a plan for the next step." Xun Yu looked at Lu Yan and Guo Jia and continued:
"Although Lu Bu was temporarily defeated, he has almost completely conquered the northern region of Yanzhou.
Besides, he also had Chen Gongtai to help him, so many nobles in Yanzhou also turned to Lu Bu."
Chen Gong was originally a famous scholar in Yanzhou, with great reputation and ability.
Lu Buneng was able to occupy most of Yanzhou like an invincible, and Chen Gong's reputation really played a big role in this.
Since Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he has taken back many fields to the government for military and civilian settlements.
Coupled with the "Only Only Talents" order to seek talents, the nobles in Yanzhou were secretly dissatisfied with him.
The arrival of Lu Bu and Chen Gong just gave the local nobles in Yanzhou the hope of changing their leader.
And with Chen Gong here, their interests will definitely be protected.
So Zhang Chaoyi opened the gate of Dongjun,
People from all over Yanzhou began to surrender and defected to Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
They will support whoever can guarantee their interests. This is the truest and coldest side of a wealthy family.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, and not all aristocratic families are like this.
Just like Bao Xin,
He is the representative of the kind of family who resolutely resisted Lu Bu.
Unfortunately, when Bao Xin was defending the city, someone with ulterior motives secretly opened the city gate.
Otherwise, with Bao Xin's ability, it is not impossible to hold on for another ten days and a half.
This time, through Lu Bu's invasion,
A large number of nobles who were secretly dissatisfied with Cao Cao emerged from Yanzhou, and even the civil and military officials in Juancheng were reduced by nearly half.
Although this is a huge crisis, it is also an excellent opportunity!
Xun Yu hesitated again and again and said the question he had been thinking about for a long time:
"Changsheng, now most of the nobles in Yanzhou have voted for Lu Bu. I think the time has come."
Lu Yan naturally knew what Xun Yu was referring to, but the matter was so big that even Lu Yan did not dare to draw conclusions easily.
"Wen Ruo, this matter is related to Duke Cao's foundation. I think we should wait until Duke Cao returns and discuss it together."
Guo Jia also said at this time: "People's hearts are unpredictable. If you want to do this, you must do it without leakage!"
What riddle are these three people playing?
Cao Ang and several other generals were filled with lawsuits.
Xun Yu felt that he really shouldn't act too hastily, so he replied: "It is true that we should wait for Duke Cao to come back before planning carefully. It's just that Yu was too hasty..."
Xun Yu came from a noble family.
He is very clear about the power and harm of aristocratic families.
It's not that he had any righteous thoughts of exterminating relatives, but he hoped that under Cao Cao's rule, the threat to the family could be minimized.
It is impossible to completely eradicate the family.
Even if the old aristocratic families are killed, the people present may be the new wealthy aristocratic families, but they are just cutting off one crop and another will grow.
As long as Xun Yu does not fall and Cao Cao does not fall, the Xun family will never fall. Xun Yu has already seen through these things.
A topic ends,
Xun Yu then opened another topic, "Lu Bu is so powerful, should we wait for the lord to come back before discussing it?"
Xun Yu was not angry. He knew Guo Jia well and knew that Guo Jia had his own intentions when he said this: "Fengxiao has already made arrangements?"
"That's right! After Chen Liu came out, we divided into two groups with Yu Wenze and Man Boning.
We came all the way to Juancheng for rescue, while Wen Ze and the others went to attack Dongjun!"
After Zhang Liao heard this, he was very surprised:
"The army that Chen Liu left was actually the result of the division of troops?
Then if they all come, won't even Lu Bu be able to leave?"
However, Zhang Liao quickly remembered that Zhang Chao, Hao Meng and others sent troops to attack Chen Liu.
After hesitating for a while,
Zhang Liao still decided to remind Lu Yan,
"Prefect Lu, there is a matter in Liao, do you know whether to talk about it or not?"
Suddenly they heard Zhang Liao speak, so everyone turned to look at him.
"Wen Yuan does not need to be detained, but if you have something on your mind, just say it directly." Lu Yan encouraged.
"According to what Liao knows, Marquis Wen gave Zhang Chao 10,000 soldiers when he sent troops to Juancheng. His target seems to be Chenliu County!"
"What the hell!?" Lu Yan was shocked when he heard this, "Chen Liu's defenders are out. If Zhang Chao takes the opportunity to attack...the consequences will be disastrous!"
The guy next door to Mala is so careless! He only thinks about stealing other people’s hometown, but he didn’t know that his own hometown will also be stolen!
Lu Yan felt regretful,
But at this moment,
Suddenly someone came to report outside the meeting hall!
"Report!
General Yu sent people to report that after defeating Zhang Chao's army, they had taken advantage of the situation and captured Puyang City in the East County!
Now Lu Bu's army is returning urgently for reinforcements.
General Yu requests Xun Biejia and Prefect Lu to provide immediate support!"
"What!"
Zhang Liao suddenly heard that Chen Liu's partial division not only defeated Zhang Chao's army, but also
He actually took advantage of the situation and captured Puyang City, the seat of East County. I was shocked beyond measure.
"In the past there was Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci, and now there is Yu Jin.
There are so many talented generals in Chenliu County!"
"Hahaha!" When Lu Yan heard the report, he suddenly felt like drinking sweet rain. After laughing three times, he shouted: "Lao Yu Laoman, you are so awesome!"
