Chapter 318 The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to stabilize
Facing Shen Pei's death gaze, Shen Rong was not afraid. He even spoke to help Lao Cao persuade Shen Pei to surrender, "Uncle, our Shen family has done enough for the Yuan family, and we can't do it for them anyway."
Your life and the future of the entire family are at stake! Otherwise, you should surrender. With the prime minister’s mind, he will definitely..."
"Shut up!" Shen Rong was rudely interrupted by Shen Pei before he could finish his words.
Seeing this, Cao Cao said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero! You should learn from your nephew on this point, why waste all your talents for the Yuan family."
"Hahaha..." Not only was Shen Pei not angry after hearing this, but he burst into laughter and said, "Although that kid has no future, at least he has saved our Shen family at this moment... You live well,
It’s no pity that I’m already dead.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Pei looked at Cao Cao again: "There is no need to talk nonsense. I, Shen Pei, only want a quick death. Cao Cao, what are you waiting for? Kill me quickly!"
The words had reached this point, but Shen Pei still persisted.
Cao Cao shook his head and said to Shen Pei: "Since you have made up your mind, Cao will grant your wish. But don't worry, I won't touch a single hair of Yuan Shang's family members, and I will treat your people equally."
He had always been unpretentious about Lao Cao's matchmaking, but he suddenly fell silent at this moment.
Without warning, Shen Pei bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao nodded and waved: "He is also a loyal man... Come, prepare some good wine and food for Mr. Shen, and then send him on his way..."
"Hahaha! I was able to drink and eat meat before I died. I, Shen Zhengnan, have paid my respects in vain!"
The judge laughed heartily, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall in an extremely free and easy manner.
The judge went to his death without hesitation, which made Yuan Shang's old subordinates who surrendered in the hall feel a little ashamed.
Naturally, Cao Cao couldn't let one person chill the hearts of others, so he started talking to these people and trying to comfort them.
After a cup of tea, Cao Cao reassured Yuan Shang's old men, and Cao Cao summoned his men to discuss the next matter.
"Everyone, Yecheng has been conquered, and Jizhou is within easy reach. This is all due to your efforts. I hope you will continue to work hard and conquer Jizhou. Your Majesty will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be promoted to officials and titles."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, bursts of cheers suddenly sounded in the hall.
After cheering for a while, Cao Cao continued: "But you must remember that you must not underestimate the enemy, let alone advance rashly! The more victory is in sight, the more you must keep a clear head and a steady pace!"
"I will obey the instructions of the Prime Minister!" everyone shouted in unison.
Lao Cao's consciousness was very high, and even Lu Yan couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking: "Boss Cao is not upset, so I feel more relieved."
Cao Cao had been secretly observing Lu Yan's reaction. When he saw him nodding slightly, he suddenly said proudly in his heart: "Haha! It's really rare for you to be recognized by Immortal Lu!"
After receiving "praise" from Lu Yan, Cao Cao felt like a child receiving praise from an elder, and he was so happy that he almost flew into the air.
After being secretly happy for a while, Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, I hope you can explain our next step to everyone."
"Here!" Xi Zhicai accepted the promise, then walked to the hanging big map and said,
"Please take a look...
Jizhou is divided into thirteen counties and two kingdoms, including Weijun, Guangping, Yangping, Julu, Changshan, Anping, Pingyuan...
Our army is now fighting consecutive battles, but it still only occupies Wei County, Qinghe County, and the soon-to-be-conquered Yangping County.
Jizhou still has vast land, so there will probably be many battles in the future."
"I'm not afraid of less fighting, but I'm afraid of not having any fights! Hahaha!"
"Yes, yes! Who would think too little about military merit?" The generals began to make a fuss uncontrollably.
Xi Zhicai smiled and waited for the crowd to end the commotion, then Xi Zhicai continued:
"Pingyuan County is now in the hands of Marquis Wen. It is best to give up Bohai County, Hejian County and Laoling Kingdom to Marquis Wen. As long as our two families advance together, we can annex Jizhou as quickly as possible. As long as Marquis Wen can capture Hejian
County, we can form a deterrent with Marquis Wen against Bingzhou and Youzhou."
Although it was great to eat alone, Lu Bu was now Lu Yan's father-in-law and his staunch ally. Cao Cao had to consider Lu Bu's interests and feelings.
Let Lu Bu take over Bohai County, Hejian County and Laoling Kingdom, which will not only allow Lu Bu to expand his territory, but also allow him to border Youzhou.
In this way, Yuan Xi in Youzhou had to guard against Cao Cao on one side and Lu Bu on the other, which could effectively contain him.
"With Marquis Wen in check in Youzhou, our army can allocate more troops to attack the high officials in Bingzhou." Xi Zhicai spoke eloquently, and everyone nodded in response.
After a short pause, Xi Zhi continued: "After capturing Bingzhou, we will be connected with Hedong and have no worries; after that, as long as we go north to capture Youzhou, then all threats from the north, except for the aliens, will have been eliminated. By then, we will
All you need to do is cultivate yourself and recharge your batteries for a few years, and when the army goes south, it will be the day when the world will be wiped out!"
"Sweep the world!"
"Sweep the world!"
The bright future described by Xi Zhicai made all the civil and military officials in the hall excited.
The morale is high! Both the literati and the generals are blushing at this moment and shouting wantonly.
When the strength is strong enough to crush everyone, then all it takes is a majestic army to conquer the world.
...
Thinking back to those days,
The northern overlord Yuan Shao led an army of more than 400,000, claiming to be 800,000, and went south to attack Cao Cao!
But in the battle with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was first defeated by the burning of Guandu in Wuchao and shot down from the clouds; then he was ambushed by Cheng Yu in the Battle of Cangting, and his back was completely broken.
Later, Zhang Yan surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu started the Northern Expedition, and Yuan Shao finally exhausted his life and died...
Now there are 50,000 troops in Yecheng. As long as Cao Ren and Zhang Yan from Hanoi County come to help, Cao Cao can go all the way north until he captures the border between Zhongshan Kingdom and Youzhou.
Now, Cao Cao has captured Wei County, Yangping County and Qinghe County, and it is only a matter of time before he joins Lu Bu in annexing Jizhou.
Once spring comes next year and the troops from Yanxu and Xuzhou are replenished, Cao Cao can attack Bingzhou...
It can be said that merging the two states is already in Cao Cao's pocket.
The world structure has undergone drastic changes. Cao Cao defeated the Yuan Group and became the strongest prince in the entire Han Dynasty.
In fact, after the deaths of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the Yuan family has begun to decline uncontrollably.
But with the Yuan family's background, as long as they put aside their objections and act unanimously to the outside world, it shouldn't be a problem to delay Lao Cao for three to five years.
But the bad thing is that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan don't get along. In order to fight for the family property, the two brothers even did not hesitate to lead the wolf into the house...
Hearing about the sudden change in the north, the princes of the world were extremely frightened.
Especially Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Jiangdong, after learning that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang so quickly, their secret contacts became more frequent.
It can even be said that they have secretly formed an alliance and have begun to prepare to deal with the future overlord of the world, Cao Cao!
