After talking about Bao Xin and Zhang Miao, Cao Cao frowned. There are eight major counties in Yanzhou, namely Dongjun, Chenliu, Dongping, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Shanyang, and Jiyang. Bao Xin
In charge of Jibei, Zhang Miao is the governor of Chenliu. If Cao Cao can persuade these two people to surrender, then Chenliu and Jibei will have no problem. As for Dongping and Rencheng, the two counties are very close to each other. Originally, Rencheng was
It belongs to Dongping County. To be precise, Rencheng is not a county. The military strength of these two places is not very strong, but it is easy to deal with it. The two counties of Shanyang and Jiyang belong to Liu.
Liu Dai is under the control of Dai's cronies, and now that Liu Dai has surrendered to Cao Cao, it won't be a problem to come to these two counties.
The most dangerous ones are only Taishan County and Dongjun where Cao Cao is located! There are not many defenders in Taishan County, but the most troublesome thing is Taishan next to Taishan County. A group of Taishan thieves have been plaguing the area.
It is not difficult for Cao Cao to send people to conquer Taishan County, but the difficulty is how to conquer those Taishan bandits, otherwise, Taishan County will still exist in name only!
Cao Cao had heard of the reputation of the Taishan Bandits when he was still serving as the captain of the Xiyuan Military Academy in Luoyang. Originally, the imperial court wanted to dispatch the Xiyuan Army to conquer the Taishan Bandits, but soon encountered the death of the late emperor and other factors.
Due to a series of events, the expedition against the Taishan bandits was delayed. Unexpectedly, after so long, this issue would be placed in front of Cao Cao again.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said: "This Taishan bandit is not simple! I want to send Yuan Rang to lead five thousand elite soldiers to clear them out! What do you think?"
Xiahou Dun, whose courtesy name is Yuan Rang, is the heir of the Xiahou family of Cao Cao's relatives. He is quite courageous and familiar with military books. He can now be said to be the most powerful general under Cao Cao! It is also a good choice for Xiahou Dun to attack the Taishan bandits.
, Xun Yu nodded in agreement and said: "With General Xiahou taking action, I believe this Taishan bandit can be easily captured!"
"My lord, wait a minute!" Seeing Xun Yu also agreed, Cao Cao was about to make a decision. At this time, Xun You came out, bowed to Cao Cao, and said: "General Xiahou is brave, it is easy to capture the Taishan bandits! However,
Now that the lord has just settled in Yanzhou, it is a time when he is short of manpower. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the Taishan bandit can be brought under the lord's account and used by the lord?"
"Conquer the Taishan bandits?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ponder. It would be a good thing if he could subdue the Taishan bandits. The Taishan bandits have been able to cause trouble in Mount Tai for so many years. The local officers and soldiers have no way to deal with them. This shows the combat effectiveness of these Taishan bandits.
Not weak! But are these Taishan thieves really so easy to conquer?
Xun You seemed to have guessed Cao Cao's concerns and said with a smile: "My lord, you might as well send General Xiahou to lead the troops. If you can't persuade those Taishan bandits to surrender, just let General Xiahou attack directly!"
Xun You's last words also reassured Cao Cao. Even though he nodded and agreed to Xun You's suggestion, there was another question. Who should be sent to carry out this task? As soon as Cao Cao raised this question, Xun You immediately said
: "My subordinates think that Man Bo would rather take this position!"
As soon as Xun You said these words, everyone's eyes turned to a man dressed as a civil servant standing behind Liu Ye. Although he was dressed as a civil servant, this man's figure was different from other literati. He was very tall.
He is strong and strong, and his face is full of flesh, and he looks like a martial artist. This man is a favorite of Shanyang people, and he and Liu Ye joined Cao Cao's tent before. When I heard Xun You's recommendation, I was a little troubled and couldn't serve Cao Cao.
Man Chong, who had made great achievements, immediately came out of the queue, bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and said, "My lord! I am willing to go!"
This Man Chong was a tall man, but he behaved like a scholar, which seemed a bit nondescript. However, Cao Cao didn't care about these problems. With Xun You's recommendation and Man Chong himself willing to go, Cao Cao was naturally very satisfied.
He nodded and said: "Since Bir Ning is going, it's naturally the best! I'm waiting for the good news from Bir Ning!"
After Man Chong accepted the order and retreated, the problem of Taishan County was temporarily solved. The only thing left was Dong County. Although Cao Cao has now stationed his army in Dong County, Liu Dai has also given up the position of governor to Cao Cao.
, but the problem is Qiao Mao. So far, Qiao Mao has not come to visit Cao Cao, so his attitude can be imagined! It’s just that Cao Cao and Qiao Mao’s elder Qiao Xuan have an old relationship. No matter what, they have to
How much consideration should be given to Qiao Xuan’s face!
Cao Cao didn't speak, and others didn't dare to make a sound. For a while, there was silence in the entire study. However, the silence didn't last long before a knock on the door was heard outside the study, and a voice came from outside the study.
, listening to this voice, it seemed that it was the soldier sent out by Cao Cao before: "My lord! Something bad has happened! General Xiahou led his troops into the city, but someone blocked the city gate and refused to enter the city!
"
Cao Cao was really annoyed here. When he heard the news, he stood up and shouted: "Asshole! Who is so bold? Haven't you ever revealed your identity?"
The door has not yet been opened, and the soldiers outside cannot be seen, but the voice can be heard with great grievance, saying: "Lord! The young one has already explained that there are lord's soldiers and horses outside the city, but the guard is
The people at the city gate just refused to open the door! Later, the younger brother brought out the identity of the Lord's governor, but it still didn't work. They also said, and also said..." At this point, the soldier did not dare to say any more.
Although the soldier didn't finish what he said, Cao Cao could guess that the other party must have said something unpleasant, which made the soldier dare not repeat it. Now Cao Cao's black face became more and more gloomy and cold.
He shouted coldly: "What else did you say? Say it!"
When Cao Cao became angry, everyone present was silent. Although the soldiers outside the study were separated by a door, they could still feel the slightest chill emanating from Cao Cao and couldn't help but shudder.
He plucked up the courage to say: "They said, they said, in this Dongjun city, only the governor of Qiao is the one to listen to! It won't work if anyone comes! Not to mention what it is, dog, dog, bullshit..."
Having said this, the soldier did not dare to speak any more.
Cao Cao's eyes widened, he just grabbed a teacup in front of him, swung it into a round shape and then smashed it down, smashing it into pieces! Cao Cao shouted angrily: "What a Qiao Mao! He actually despises me like this! I want to take a look at him
How amazing this governor of Dongjun is! Come here! Send Liu Dai to me!"
When Cao Cao shouted like this, everyone here immediately understood that Cao Cao was determined to attack Qiao Mao! Everyone couldn't help but feel sad for Qiao Mao! Maybe Qiao Mao himself didn't dare to treat Cao Cao like this, but who could
Calling him lax, even a city gatekeeper dared to speak rudely to Cao Cao! No one came out to dissuade him. In fact, if it were not for the friendship between Cao Cao and Qiao Xuan, getting rid of Qiao Mao would be the best solution.
Method. Now that Cao Cao has made up his mind, everyone is eager to do it, so how can they try to persuade him?
Xun Yu, who was sitting under Cao Cao, was thinking about other things at the moment. Although Cao Cao had successfully captured Yanzhou, if there were no other accidents, the counties in Yanzhou would also smoothly belong to Cao Cao. However,
Cao Cao still doesn't have enough manpower now. Really, under Cao Cao, only he and Xun You can be regarded as counselors who can make suggestions. The rest, such as Liu Ye and Man Chong, are still far behind! Thinking of this, Xun Yu
I couldn't help but think of my classmates and friends Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, and I secretly regretted it!
At that time, although Xun Yu saw that the world was about to be in chaos, he did not expect that it would become such a chaos. He thought that with the deterrence of the imperial court, the princes would not dare to make mistakes. Therefore, at that time, he was not very reluctant about Guo Jia's departure or stay.
If he had known this earlier, how could he have let Luo Yang take advantage of him!
Forget it! Xun Yu sighed. He knew Guo Jia's temper very well. Since he had already gone to Jingzhou, and Luo Yang put him in high regard, I'm afraid he would never be able to persuade him to come back. It seemed that he could never come back.
The only choice was to find another candidate. Thinking like this, another thin figure appeared in Xun Yu's mind, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Maybe Xi Zhicai could be recommended to the lord's account!
It's just a pity that Guo Jia, Mingzhu secretly betrayed him! While thinking about it, Xun Yu still secretly felt pity, but in Xun Yu's thoughts, he never thought that Luo Yang, a young man from a humble family, could make a big name!
—————————————————Dividing line——————————————————————“Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!” There was a sound of gold.
The sound came from outside Nanyang City, and the large number of Yuan Jun soldiers retreated from the city wall like a tide.
"Hahahaha!" Wenpin swung his long sword hard and laughed loudly. He pointed at the Yuan Jun soldiers outside the city and said with a smile: "Yuan Shu is a coward, and the soldiers he leads are also a bunch of cowards! He is really vulnerable.
!Brother Xingba! Just let me lead the troops out of the city to pursue him! I will take care of bringing back Yuan Shu’s head!”
Gan Ning also laughed and said: "What a beautiful idea! If you want to fight, I will do it! It's not your turn! You should just stay at the top of the city for me!" As he said that, Gan Ning held the Jiaya knife in his hand.
It also swayed in the air a few times, causing waves of cold wind.
When Wenpin heard this, he quit and immediately said: "No! No! You are the commander-in-chief of the garrison! There is no reason for the commander-in-chief to go out of the city to meet the enemy in person! The hard work of leaving the city should be done by my younger brother!" Wenpin said
Although Pin said that, his face was full of smiles, and there was no sign of accepting any hard work.
Gan Ning was not fooled and turned around to leave. As he walked, he shouted: "You also know that I am the commander-in-chief of the garrison! What I say is naturally a military order! I now order you to guard the city gate, and I will go out to pursue! That's it.
It’s settled! You must not violate military orders! Hahahaha!”
