"Well, alas! I have no choice but to be disrespectful!" Cao Cao sighed in a pretentious manner, patted his thigh, and said to everyone: "You sir, hurry up and invite me! I agree!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Seeing Cao Cao agreeing, Liu Dai and the other Yanzhou governors could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were not fools. They knew very well why Cao Cao came to Dongjun!
If Liu Dai didn't take the initiative to give up the position of governor, I'm afraid everyone would be in trouble! Among other things, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was a lesson learned from the past. Han Fu still wanted to use Yuan Shao to help him resist Gongsun Zan.
, as a result, this right was directly taken away by Yuan Shao, and he was forced to flee to Chen Liu and Zhang Miao.
Although Cao Cao's strength may not be as strong as that of Yuan Benchu, he is definitely not weak. When Chen Liu gathered the alliance that day, Cao Cao's troops could be said to be one of the most powerful in the alliance! Although Liu Dai also had tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops in his hands,
But if you want to go head-to-head with Cao Cao's troops, it will definitely be an egg against a rock!
In this way, Cao Cao accepted the seal of Yanzhou and was no longer polite. He directly made changes to Yanzhou's personnel. Of course, when Cao Cao first came here, it was impossible to change too much. He appointed the former governor Liu Dai as Yanzhou's farewell commander.
, and Chen Gong was the chief historian, and ostensibly occupied the two high positions in Yanzhou. However, Cao Cao soon appointed his cronies Xun Yu to govern the center, Xun You to serve as the soldier, and be in charge of the military and political power of Yanzhou, and Liu Dai
However, the power in He Chen Gong's hands was directly removed. In addition, Cao Cao also placed several important positions in Yanzhou with people from his own relatives, the Cao family and the Xiahou family. From then on, the power in Yanzhou completely belonged to Cao Cao.
.
After making the following arrangements, Cao Cao took the opportunity to make a gesture to one of his soldiers. The soldier understood and immediately retreated quietly. This was Cao Cao asking this soldier to send a signal to the army outside the city.
We can march the army directly into Dongjun City!
Although Liu Dai didn't notice this, Chen Gong found it, but Chen Gong didn't say anything, but still stood aside honestly. After Cao Cao finished all the arrangements, Liu Dai suddenly
He came out of the queue, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "My lord! I have something else that I need to report to my lord!"
"Haha! Whatever happened to Gongshan, just tell me!" Cao Cao, who successfully captured Yanzhou, was so happy in his heart. He looked at Liu Dai who was also particularly pleasing to the eye. He laughed so much that he couldn't even close his eyes.
He waved his hand and just let Liu Dai mention it.
When Liu Dai saw this, he was also secretly happy in his heart, and said hurriedly: "My lord has decided to make a decision in Yanzhou, and we all agree with it! But there are still a few people who don't seem to support my lord! Please tell me how to make a decision for these people!"
"
Although Liu Dai said that he wanted Cao Cao to make it clear, his secret meaning was very clear: I gave up this governorship to you, you have to give me something in return, right? Nothing else, just help me get rid of a few thorns in my side!
Of course Cao Cao could hear what Liu Dai meant. He glanced at Xun Yu and Xun You, and seeing them both nodded slightly, he said with a smile: "Gongshan's words are wrong. I am sitting here as the governor."
The position is inherently unjust, and even if a few colleagues have objections, it is normal! How can someone suppress those colleagues because of this? The most is to spend more time with them. Think about it, they will definitely
You will change your mind!"
However, Cao Cao did not give Liu Dai a sure word. Who was Cao Mengde, and how could he be so easily used as Liu Dai's borrowed knife to kill people? Liu Dai's face was a little embarrassed. Although he was considered an old man who had been involved in officialdom,
Compared to Cao Cao, it's still not enough! But with this rare time, how could Liu Dai give up so easily? He glanced at Chen Gong behind him, hoping that Chen Gong could say a few words of help, but he didn't expect that Chen Gong
Gong closed his eyes and looked at his nose and heart, completely ignoring what his old boss meant!
Not only Chen Gong was like this, but even the old subordinates behind Chen Gong hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw Liu Dai's gaze. Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Dai could only smile bitterly in his heart. This is really a bleak world!
However, Liu Dai did not intend to give up. Now was a great opportunity to deal with his old enemy! If he missed it, it would be too late when the old enemy also climbed onto Cao Cao's line! Immediately afterwards, Liu Dai came again
He held up his hands to Cao Cao and said, "My lord is so generous! Naturally, I cannot compare with you! But I am afraid that the other party will not be as open-minded as my lord!"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Liu Dai really refused to give up. Now Cao Cao was a little curious. Who was it that made Liu Dai hate him so much? But looking back, Cao Cao decided to give it to Liu Dai.
Liu Dai's opportunity, no matter what, he just gave him the governor of Yanzhou for nothing, didn't he? Immediately Cao Cao smiled and said: "Alas! It seems that I still don't know much about the situation in Yanzhou! I still have to worry about it.
Gongshan gave me some pointers!"
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Liu Dai was immediately overjoyed. It was obvious that Cao Cao had agreed to do this favor for him! Liu Dai immediately bowed to Cao Cao and said: "In fact, my lord is in charge of Yanzhou, which is what everyone expects. Only
Those few people are short-sighted and do not understand the lord's ambition! Among them, among them, Qiao Yuanwei is the worst!"
"Qiao Yuanwei?" Cao Cao read the name again and immediately understood who Liu Dai was referring to. It was Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun! Knowing that the person Liu Dai wanted to bring down was Qiao Mao, Cao Cao immediately immediately
I understood what Liu Dai was thinking.
In fact, Qiao Mao and Liu Dai were not life-or-death enemies. Liu Dai was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Qiao Xuan, Qiao Mao's elder, was a famous person who had served as a Han Dynasty captain! But Qiao Mao didn't know why.
What's more, he actually became the governor of Dongjun! Dongjun is the capital of Yanzhou. According to the usual practice, the governor of the capital of each state and county should be concurrently served by the governor of the state or county, or by the governor.
Appointed personally! But once Qiao Mao interfered, it was like driving an iron nail under Liu Dai's butt, making Liu Dai restless.
It happened that Qiao Mao had a prominent family background, so Liu Dai did not dare to force himself on Qiao Mao. He only hinted several times that he wanted Qiao Mao to give up his position as the prefect of Dongjun. But Qiao Mao was not a vegetarian, and he was not a vegetarian.
Dai's hints fell on deaf ears. This time when Cao Cao called for an alliance, Qiao Mao actually pulled out a team of his own to attend. Isn't this a clear slap in the face to Liu Dai!
It is precisely because of this alliance that Liu Dai's dissatisfaction with Qiao Mao has escalated into resentment, so this time no matter what, he must use Cao Cao's hands to kill Qiao Mao!
Qiao Mao? Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin. Speaking of which, Cao Cao still had some friendship with Qiao Xuan, Qiao Mao's elder! But now Liu Dai is so eager to deal with Qiao Mao. If Cao Cao doesn't agree, he can only
I'm afraid I'm sorry for Liu Dai's contribution to giving up the position of governor! This really made Cao Cao a little embarrassed! After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to Liu Dai: "It turns out to be Qiao Yuanwei! We are all friends, too.
Instead of going to visit Yuan Wei in person someday, if there are any unresolved knots, it would be better to talk to him in person!"
When Cao Cao said this, it meant that he still had to think about it. Liu Dai couldn't help but be stunned, but he had no choice but to bow to Cao Cao and retreat. In short, he had tried his best. If Cao Cao was in the end
He still refused to take action against Qiao Mao, so there was nothing he could do!
After that, after briefly handling some personnel arrangements, Cao Cao asked Liu Dai and others to retreat. The governor's mansion was now naturally owned by Cao Cao, and Liu Dai himself had to find another house to live in the city.
After sending Liu Dai and other Yanzhou old troops to retreat, Cao Cao left Xun Yu and others behind and took them directly to the study, obviously to discuss some matters that should not be known to outsiders.
After entering the study, Cao Cao's soldiers also surrounded the study. Cao Cao then said to Xun Yu and others: "Masters! We have finally captured Yanzhou! What do you think should happen next?"
The first person to answer Cao Cao was Xun Yu, now Cao Cao's number one adviser. Xun Yu sat upright and said to Cao Cao: "Although my lord has successfully taken over as the governor of Yanzhou, after all, he has not yet obtained the position of governor.
The approval of the imperial court! Therefore, the lord should ask the imperial court for orders first! The subordinates believe that now that the alliance has been dispersed, Dong Zhuo will not make it difficult for the lord, and will definitely issue the appointment! By then, the lord will be the legitimate governor of Yanzhou, and he can
Properly issue orders to all counties and counties in Yanzhou!"
What Xun Yu said was the right path, and Cao Cao nodded in agreement and shouted: "Zi Yang! I leave this matter to you! Draft a memorial immediately and send it to Chang'an! Please invite me to be the governor of Yanzhou!"
A young scholar stood up from behind Xun You, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "I accept your orders!"
This young scholar was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a direct descendant of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. His surname was Liu Mingye and his courtesy name was Ziyang. He was recommended by Xun Yu and put into Cao Cao's account. Cao Cao asked him to write the memorial, which was of greater weight.
Some.
Just as Xun Yu finished speaking, Xun You came out and handed over to Cao Cao and said: "My lord! Although the position of governor of Yanzhou is in my lord's hands, most of the cities and counties in Yanzhou are already independent, and my lord cannot completely conquer Yanzhou! This Yanzhou is.
All cities and counties need to be conquered as soon as possible, otherwise they will be taken advantage of by others!"
Cao Cao also nodded immediately and said: "Yes! The forces in Yanzhou are too complicated, but it is not difficult to handle. Then Bao Xin and I have an old relationship. Although he is the prime minister of Jibei, he is actually the same as the prefect of Jibei! Chen
It won’t be a problem to keep the prefect Zhang Miao, and I have a good relationship with him! These two people will definitely come and submit a letter from me!"
