"Yes, there used to be a young lady named Xiaotao who lived here. She was the adopted daughter of the prefect." The housekeeper replied with his eyes rolling around.
"Huh! Adopted daughter? What about the current person?" Cao Zhi turned around and glanced at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground. He was obviously interested in exploring his words again. He sat down again and took his time.
asked.
"Well, ever since Governor Zhou led his troops out...oh, no, he has been missing since he rebelled." The housekeeper said solemnly.
"It's missing again, maybe that's okay!" Cao Zhi was thinking to himself again, and no one else could interrupt him.
Then Cao Zhi hesitated and said something to the housekeeper. The housekeeper was a man who was good at observing people's words and was ready to leave immediately.
Xu Chu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly took a step forward, grabbed the steward, and said to him with a ferocious face: "Does the steward still recognize me?"
The housekeeper looked around in panic, but he really didn't recognize Xu Chu. When Xu Chu broke into the prefect's house at night, it was dark and windy, and things happened suddenly. At that time, the housekeeper was only concerned about the loss of the warehouse, so he was not concerned about what the thief would look like.
Like this. Secondly, Xu Chu still had a beard at that time. Now, if he picks his beard, it will be easy to judge the two of them. Of course, the housekeeper will not recognize him at this time.
Xu Chu said "hum" twice, and dragged the housekeeper to the inner courtyard like a chicken, shouting all the way: "Let's go, take me to accept the items in the inner warehouse, hum! If something is missing, I will twist it off."
Your neck!" As he spoke, he turned around the wall and disappeared from Cao Zhi's sight.
Cao Zhi is not a fool. He will make you escape with just a few words. Naturally, the housekeeper of the house knows the financial situation best. If he doesn’t ask you for accounting, who else can he ask? Under the supervision of Xu Zhu, a bandit
Next, Cao Zhi believes that the accounts in the warehouse will not be less, but more.
At this time, the housekeeper also had other thoughts. He was secretly glad that he had escaped. This Xiaotao had already disappeared before Zhou Xin went on the expedition, and she disappeared inexplicably. I don’t know how Zhou Xin managed it this time.
Even he, the housekeeper, didn't know the details. He only heard that a few days before Zhou Xin left for the expedition, there were frequent beatings and scoldings in the little peach room. The only one who dared to beat and scold Xiao Tao was Zhou Xin. The housekeeper guessed where Xiao Tao had offended Zhou.
Xin's taboo may now be in danger. The housekeeper doesn't know what the relationship between Xiao Tao and Cao Zhi is. Anyway, it is absolutely correct to say that he is missing.
Then Cao Zhi inspected all the government offices in the city, and they were basically carrying out their work in an orderly manner. Cao Zhi's personnel have also been stationed in various agencies of Danyang's military and political affairs, whether they are monitoring or studying, whatever others think, these are all
It is a necessary means.
Mi Heng is the busiest person. He is originally a cultural person. He is not good at wielding swords and guns. He is good at managing administration. Besides, he has been sharpening his sword for ten years. He has been waiting for this day, and finally has the opportunity to manage the political affairs of a county.
Those officials also noticed that although this big-headed ghost with a thin neck did not have a high official position, he was an important figure around Captain Cao and was highly regarded by Captain Cao, so he also reported everything to him according to his wishes, which made you
Heng Yi felt like he was in a high position.
Compared with Ni Heng's high position and powerful position, Xu Zhu was also very active. Xu Zhu first accepted all the gold and silver treasures in the county treasury, which was the result of Zhou Xin's years of harvest and accumulation. Xu Zhu was in Cao Zhi's position.
Under the instruction, he organized his personal guards to evacuate the inner treasury. Since it is called the inner treasury, it means that it is not a warehouse on the surface. Cao Zhizhai was kind-hearted and did not let Mrs. Xu and his family move out of the county mansion immediately. Now the county mansion is busy.
When it comes to funerals, no one cares about it, and no one dares to ask about it even if they know about it. Of course, good things should belong to the winner.
Xu Zhu then took people to the outer storehouse, which was a serious county storehouse. All the important materials of the county were in it. Mi Heng had already sent someone to accept it. Xu Zhu greeted Mi Heng and took it.
Military supplies, such as armor, weapons, saddles, etc., were all moved out and transported back to the camp outside the city by vehicle.
By the way, Cao Zhi also asked Xu Zhu to go to the stables of the prefecture and the military camp, and captured more than a hundred war horses. The remaining Danyang defenders were mainly responsible for guarding the city, so these horses were not of much use. For Cao Zhi,
It is also a way to make up for it. In the last battle at Jilong Mountain, not many war horses were captured. Although not many were captured this time, it is better than nothing. Most of the military horses in Danyang have been consumed with Zhou Xin's last expedition to Liyang.
, or it can also be said that most of the Danyang war horses were smashed to death by Cao Zhi in the Jilongshan Canyon.
Cao Zhi could not blame himself, and Xu Zhu did not dare to blame his lord. He took the finances, several large carts of military supplies, and more than a hundred war horses, and happily went to the garrison outside the city.
Danyang has been captured, but Cao Zhi and his army may not stay here forever. Deng Ai may persuade Chen Wen to transfer Cao Zhi back to Liyang. Cao Zhi is not a fool. Who will Chen Wen send to take over as the governor of Danyang?
Unknown, it is always right to take wealth and useful materials into your own hands first. "We can't come here in vain", this is what Cao Zhi told Xu Zhu.
Cao An was also a busy man and shouldered the responsibility of captain of the temporary military police. He was responsible for leading a team of soldiers to assist the city's police officers in catching deserters and bandits who took advantage of the fire. Keeping the people from being disturbed was the best way to care for the people.
The common people before and after the war lived in fear because they were the weakest group in this game. No matter whether they were new or old rulers, this group was often abandoned and angered by. Not only that, but after the war,
The common people also suffered from the harassment of the remaining defeated generals and the chaos and looting by some bandits. When Cao Zhi entered the city, he saw that there were burning flames all the way, defeated troops and defeated generals, and looters everywhere, so after Cao Zhi entered the city, he quickly sent Cao An to lead the city.
A team of people and police officers in the city work together to strengthen public security.
Cao Zhi is the most leisurely person now. After patrolling around the city, he took a pair of soldiers to the camp outside the city to rest. Cao Zhi could have stayed at the Danyang Prefect's Mansion tonight, but considering that Mrs. Xu's family was in mourning period
Not to mention that they would be timid if an occupying officer lived with them, and Cao Zhi would also feel awkward. It would be more comfortable and comfortable to live in his own military camp.
Although Danyang City had surrendered, Cao Zhi still divided his troops and garrisoned them. This attack on Danyang was of great importance. To ensure that it was safe, Chen Wen detached a thousand troops from Zaozhuan's east camp to Cao Zhi, plus Cao Zhi's three troops from the west camp.
With thousands of soldiers and horses and 500 surrendered prisoners from Jilongshan, Cao Zhi's total force to attack Danyang was 4,500.
After entering Danyang, Cao Zhi divided 2,000 troops and stationed them outside the city in case of emergencies. More than 800 soldiers who surrendered or escaped from Danyang were also imprisoned outside the city. These people must be centralized and controlled. Once they become deserters, they will harm the countryside and rob.
, killing and raping are all things that deserters wandering around will do. Besides, these people are also useful to Cao Zhi. Surrenders and deserters are also soldiers. As long as they are well educated, they can still be used by me.
Cao Zhi remembered that many of Cao Cao's subordinates surrendered like this. Most of them followed Cao Cao and fought all their lives. Some of them had their sentences reduced, and their sentences were reduced, over and over again. Cao Zhi must learn the lessons of "history" and cannot
This happened to me over and over again.
That night, Cao Zhi held a banquet in his big leather tent. Cao Zhi is a modern man. He certainly knows what materials are the warmest and he also knows how to enjoy them. Therefore, his living tent is made of several layers of cowhide, which is almost as good as flying.
Painted with gold, it was so brilliant that his subordinates called this kind of leather tent a large leather tent.
Cao Zhi sat in the middle and ordered Xu Zhu to sit at the head. Not long after, the commanding officers stationed outside the city came in to see him. Cao Zhi originally wanted to have a drink with Xu Zhu, but he didn't expect so many people to come at once. This group
The generals all know that Cao Zhi's leather tent has a lot of wine and a mountain of meat (actually, there is more food and wine), so it is called "Jiang Jian", but in fact, they are here to eat.
