[I look forward to the stars and the moon, but I can’t look forward to you Guo Fengxiao!]
Boss Cao gnawed the dry food with great interest and read the diary, thinking:
"What Mr. Lu is longing for is Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, Xi Zhicai's best friend, who Xi Zhicai calls 'his talent is ten times better than mine'?"
Cao Cao had already heard Guo Jia's name from Xi Zhicai.
However, Xi Zhicai said that Guo Jia is now serving under Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Cao Cao felt that it would be difficult for Lu Yan to wait until Guo Jia arrived.
With some regret, Cao Cao continued to look down,
[Lu Bu’s blue beast is about to come out of its cage!
Boss Cao, you had a great time fighting in Yanzhou, but have you ever thought that I, Lu Yan, am so anxious that my head will turn gray because of your butt?】
Cao Cao: "Lu Bu???cough cough cough!"
Boss Cao’s personal experience tells us that when eating, it is better not to look at some things that should not be looked at, otherwise it is easy to choke oneself...
"Lu Bu came to Guandong, but what does it have to do with my ass? Is it possible that I treat you, Lu Yan, as an immortal, but you are thinking about my body? Eh~~~"
Boss Cao had goosebumps all over his body. His hobby was wives, not men.
[When Boss Cao stabilizes the other counties in Yanzhou, I will have to find a way to get Zilong back.]
[Fortunately, I have found a few strong generals here that I have a chance to acquire... As long as there are two or three of them, plus Zhao Zilong, I will no longer have to be afraid of Lu Bu...]
After reading the next content, Boss Cao suddenly said: "It turns out that 'my butt' is just a metaphor, Mr. Lu is just naughty!"
"Mr. Lu, come on!
I can return Zilong to you, but you have to find all the fierce generals for me!"
"A strong general... Hehehe, I didn't expect that there are so many strong generals in this world who can rival Lu Bu!"
...
Cao Cao is now at war and his whereabouts are erratic.
So Lu Yan finally conveyed the news of Guo Jia's investment to Xun Yu in Puyang.
Knowing that Guo Jia had also been kidnapped by Lu Yan, Xun Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned at Lu Yan's ability to recruit people.
Moreover, Lu Yan also suggested to Boss Cao that Guo Jiaxian should stay with him for a period of time to practice.
Thinking of Xi Zhicai’s unforgettable experience as a handyman,
Xun Yu suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded,
"This Lu Changsheng is really enough...
It just brought disaster to an actor Zhicai, and now it brings disaster to Guo Jia.
My two good friends owed him money in their previous lives, so they had to work around him doing odd jobs?"
Complaints are complaints,
But Xun Yu was still very happy that Lu Yan could find Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.
After all, they were good friends to begin with, and now they both work for Boss Cao. From now on, everyone can happily conquer the world together.
But complaints are complaints,
Xun Yu is still a trustworthy and decent person,
He felt that Lu Yan was just a military general in charge of a county now, and his authority might not be enough.
So after Tuoxia Houyuan sent people to find Cao Cao and received a positive reply,
Xun Yu sent Guo Jia's appointment documents and Lu Yan's promotion documents to Chenliu County.
"My lord has an order to appoint Lu Zhonglang as Dian Nong Zhonglang General, with a rank of two thousand stones and the same position as the Grand Administrator!"
"..."
"Appoint Guo Jia as the official, and for the time being, he will obey orders from Lu Zhonglang!"
"Guo Jia, take the order!"
Damn, I got promoted again, so annoying!
But in fact, whether he gets promoted or not, Lu Yan does all these jobs, and now that he is promoted, he can get more salary.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Yan stopped arguing with Boss Cao...
After the messengers left, Lu Yan said to Guo Jia: "Then, I am a filial piety..."
"I understand, isn't it just some physical work? Only people with ambition can do it, so I can do it too!"
"Hey, I just like talking to smart people!"
From now on,
Starting from Lu Yan, the Cao Group gradually formed an unwritten rule.
That is the literati who has just entered the workplace,
First, you need to practice at the grassroots level for half a year.
Only then can you decide which path to take and what position to take based on your performance during the experience.
Guo Jia fell into a trap, Lu Yan was greatly relieved,
"Now not only do we have helpers in government affairs, we also have people to deal with Chen Gong!
Today is really worthy of happiness and celebration, why don’t we skip work first and celebrate?”
...
Everything in Chenliu County is on track,
Li Dian soon recruited 30,000 new soldiers.
Naturally, such a big move could not be hidden from the real governor of Chenliu County, Zhang Miao.
Although Zhang Miao had a good relationship with Cao Cao before, they were like brothers.
But as Cao Cao was invited by other county governors in Yanzhou and became the lord of Yanzhou,
Zhang Miao's heart couldn't help but begin to change.
Some people are like this. When their friends are weaker than themselves, they will go out of their way to help their friends, no matter how hard they go.
But when his friends are better than him and live a better life than him, he will become jealous and unwilling, and start making all kinds of malicious speculations.
Coupled with the increasingly close relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao,
Zhang Miao felt that Cao Cao was now rich, and he might abandon him and completely turn to Yuan Shao.
As a result, Zhang Miao inevitably began to feel anxious.
In a closed room,
Zhang Miao ruthlessly swept all the bamboo slips on the table to the ground.
"Lu Yan suddenly expanded his army. Do you, Cao Cao, want to keep your hands on me, Chen?"
After Zhang Miao calmed down, he walked to the bookshelf and took out a thin parchment scroll from under the layers of bamboo slips.
It was a secret letter addressed to him,
Signed, Chen Gong!
"Cao A'hao, Cao A'hao, I was in vain to help you raise an army to attack Dong, and also to lend you Chenliu County to support the army and strengthen myself.
It’s just that you don’t want to repay me, but now you want to annex me completely...
Since you, Cao Cao, are unkind, don't blame me, Zhang Miao, for being unjust!"
Cao Cao: "???"
Boss Cao's experience vividly explains what it means to sit in the field and the pot comes from the sky.
...
In August, the third year of Chuping,
Cao Cao and the main force of the Yellow Turbans finally met head-on east of Shouzhang!
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is not afraid of death and has rich combat experience.
Due to their brave resistance, Cao Jun was defeated in the first battle!
If Zhao Yun and Le Jin's 10,000 cavalry had not posed such a huge threat to the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Bao Xin, the leading general of Cao's flanking infantry, would probably have died in this battle!
In fact, in history, Bao Xin really died in battle to save Cao Cao.
However, this time Cao's army was much stronger and had cavalry to contain it, so Bao Xin was "lucky" to survive in the end.
This battle actually has its benefits,
Its defeat woke up the soldiers of Cao's army who had been somewhat dazzled by the victory.
At least after this battle,
Everyone in Cao's army understood the truth,
That is, never underestimate your opponent.
After the defeat in the first battle,
Boss Cao personally patrolled the camp to boost morale. Cao's army quickly regrouped and prepared to find an opportunity for another decisive battle.
In September of the same year,
After the second battle with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Cao Jun finally defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans fought and retreated, while Cao Jun took advantage of the victory and pursued them all the way to Jibei.
The Yellow Turban family members were all in Jibei. In the end, the Yellow Turbans had no way to retreat and were forced to fight Cao Jun in a decisive battle.
After the decisive battle between the two armies, the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated and requested to surrender!
After this battle, Cao Cao received 300,000 surrendered troops and a million men and women from the Yellow Turbans.
Cao Cao recruited the elite Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou,
And formed an army that would become famous in the future, the "Qingzhou Soldiers"!
The Battle of Yanzhou ended, Boss Cao's strength increased greatly, and his reputation was greatly shaken!
