As the remnants of Lu Bu's army left Puyang, the Yanzhou offensive and defensive battle that shocked the world and raised eyebrows finally came to a perfect conclusion.
Every battle will bring out some new stars,
For example, Qu Yi in the Battle of Jieqiao;
Another example is Guo Jia and Dian Wei in the Battle of Yingchuan.
And this time the battle of Yanzhou,
Then a large number of newcomers from the Cao camp emerged, such as Tai Shici, Yu Jin, Man Chong, Xia Houlan, etc.
"Cao's army has so many talents!"
This made the other princes turn red with envy.
Of course, the performance of these people can only be said to be eye-catching.
The most amazing thing is the prefect Chenliu who always likes to wear a white scholar's shirt and ride a white horse, Lu Yan!
I heard that he is the real leader of Cao Jun's Baima Yicong, and even Zhao Yun is just his follower...
Especially Lu Bu's words, "You and I are all of the same realm," added countless mysteries to Lu Yan and became the talk of countless people after dinner.
Because at the time of the duel with Lu Bu, there were only Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and the few remaining Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, as well as Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Xia Houlan and other generals who were very close to Lu Yan on Cao Jun's side.
Therefore, few people knew the true situation at that time.
Lu Bu would definitely not take the initiative to tell this matter. His cavalry subordinates were afraid of Lu Bu and dared not reveal the slightest information.
Zhang Liao has now become a general of Cao's army. Like Zhao Yun and others, he will never take the initiative to mention Lu Yan's true situation.
Ever since, Lu Bu's words were slowly distorted by everyone's own imagination...
Some people think that Lu Yan may be arrogant by nature, so Lu Bu puts him in the same position as himself. This statement is of course spurned by many people in the Cao Group.
Some people also say that Lu Bu saw Lu Yansheng's handsomeness and equated his appearance with his own. This statement was somewhat reliable, but it was not enough for Lu Bu to admit it in front of so many people.
Finally, some people say that Lu Yan actually has special skills, and Lu Bu can only compete with him 50-50, so Lu Bu said that Lu Yan and he are in the same realm.
However, in the end, this guess, which was closest to the truth, was regarded by the world as the most impossible absurd joke...
Lu Yan didn't bother to care about these things at all. He still had more troublesome things waiting to be dealt with.
At the entrance of Tian's mansion, Cao Cao, Lu Yan, Guo Jia, and Man Chong stood neatly.
Among these four people, only Lu Yan and Man Chong were here to do business. As for Boss Cao and Guo Jia, these two guys came purely to see Diao Chan!
"Mr. Cao, will you change your mind when you see Diao Chan later?" Lu Yan asked with some worry.
Cao Cao shook his head extremely firmly and replied: "Mr. Lu, you should know that I, Mr. Cao, always do what I say.
I said I was just here to meet the righteous people who eliminated Dong, and I would never have any wrong thoughts about Diao Chan!"
"I hope so..." To be honest, Lu Yan still didn't have full confidence in Cao Cao...
Lu Yan looked sideways at Guo Jia and asked angrily: "Fengxiao, why are you here?"
"Of course I have the same thoughts as my lord.
Moreover, everyone will be neighbors from now on, so it is reasonable for me, Guo Jia, to come to meet my neighbors first."
Guo Jiatian replied shamelessly.
Well, Lu Yan had nothing to do with the two of them, so he had to say to Man Chong: "Go, take them out and go back to Chenliu directly."
"Here!" Man Chong clasped his fists, then called a few soldiers to enter Tian's mansion.
A burst of exclamation came from the mansion,
What Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others did not expect was that before Diao Chan and the others came out, the head of the Tian family and his two sons rushed out of the house and crawled at the feet of Boss Cao!
"President Cao, please have mercy!"
Boss Cao: "?"
After glancing at Lu Yan and Guo Jia, who were equally baffled, Cao Cao suppressed his doubts and asked calmly: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"
Tian did not dare to raise his head, so he knelt on the ground with his head on the ground and replied: "Sinners should not secretly collude with Chen Gong to take in Lu Bu's family."
"Is that all?" Boss Cao wanted to deceive Tian again.
What Boss Cao didn't expect was that Tian actually hid a secret.
After hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Tian thought: "What should I do? Should I tell him about that? I can't tell from Cao Cao's tone whether he knows about it, but I don't dare to bet on whether he knows about it."
I know..."
After hesitating for a long time, Cao Cao keenly realized that there must be something hidden in this.
So, Cao Cao said in an unusually stern voice: "I have given you a chance..."
"Ah!!" Tian was so shocked that he was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Cao Cao, wait a minute! I said it, I said it all!"
After a pause, Tian organized his speech and said, "Chen Gong actually gave me a letter secretly. He asked me to secretly unite with the gentry and gentry in East County to overthrow your control of East County!"
"It's Chen Gong again..." Cao Cao suddenly felt heartbroken when he heard that it was Chen Gong's plan again, "Then you did it?"
"No, no! You are too timid, and under the rule of Governor Cao, people are singing and dancing, so why should I overthrow your control?"
Cao Cao nodded and sighed: "Back then, Chen Gong was the first counselor who abandoned his family and followed someone without hesitation! But why did he end up in this unrelenting situation today?"
It's a bit sad and sentimental, but now that it has become a fact, we can only move on.
Cao Cao continued to ask: "In that case, Chen Gong must have given you a list of those who can unite..."
"Yes! Yes! The little one has been kept close to his body!" After Tian said that, he immediately untied his coat and lining, and then showed the close-fitting side of the lining to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao and others looked at it and saw that there were many small characters written densely on it, but Tian's body was full of fat, which made people feel a little stuffy...
"Copy the list later and give it to me, and I won't hold you responsible again."
Tian was overjoyed by Cao Cao's words. He hurriedly put on his clothes again, and then happily replied to Cao Cao: "Thank you, Governor Cao, thank you, Governor Cao!"
Looking at Mr. Tian, Cao Cao suddenly felt that he was quite valuable. Boss Cao thought to himself:
"It seems that the hope of promoting Chenliu County's household registration method will probably fall on this person and those on the list..."
How could the cunning Boss Cao really let go of those who betrayed him or were about to betray him?
The generosity now is nothing more than laying the groundwork for the real killer move in the future.
Boss Cao personally helped Tian and his two sons to stand up.
Tian was so moved that she immediately sold herself to Cao Cao, "If Cao Cao doesn't give up, I'm willing to lead Cao Cao's horse to its feet, but Cao Cao will follow his lead!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "I, Mr. Cao, said in his order to seek talents, 'Only those who are capable will be chosen'! If you are talented, you can naturally work for me!"
Tian thought about it seriously, and then he replied shyly: "That Governor Cao... I don't have much talent, but I have a lot of money! I am willing to donate half of my family property for
Governor Cao is doing his best!"
"Hahaha!" Boss Cao smiled even more cheerfully. Talent and wealth sometimes don't have to be so clear-cut.
"That's right. Once the political affairs in Puyang and Dongjun are straightened out, you can take up an official position under the newly appointed prefect of Dongjun."
"Ah! Mr. Tian, thank you, lord!"
"Um..."
Cao Cao dismissed Mr. Tian, and then looked at the Tian family mansion, as if he was looking forward to it.
"Speaking of which, Diao...why haven't Lu Bu's family members come out yet?"
