Cao Cao received a summons from Cao Bao in Xuzhou at this time, and the whole person was also confused. He has just occupied Yanzhou now, and his strength is indeed good, but who is this score compared to.

Compared with Feng Ye, who dominates the land of four states and has just destroyed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers, it is really a small thing.

Xuzhou, where the people are abundant, certainly wants it, but when he thinks of pulling teeth from Feng Ye's tiger's mouth, he really hesitates in his heart.

I'm afraid that he must not be afraid, because his territory borders Feng Ye, and sooner or later there will be a confrontation, but he still hopes to develop for a while and face Feng Ye's strong enemy again.

I don't want to face Feng Ye now, the gap in strength is too big now, and there is little hope of winning.

Cao Cao summoned several strategists to discuss, but decided to make preparations with both hands, and wait and see.

If Cao Bao and Zhang Min can really stop Feng Ye's army, then he will send someone to take over Xuzhou. If Cao Bao and Zhang Min couldn't stop Feng Ye, then naturally they shouldn't know the news.

Feng Ye came to receive Xuzhou this time, but he brought 30,000 Youzhou iron horsemen and 20,000 heavily armored halberds.

Not only did he want to threaten Xuzhou in order to achieve the goal of receiving Xuzhou peacefully, but more importantly, he also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take Yangzhou over.

Yangzhou is a good place, if you don't start by yourself and get it by the opponent, it will quickly enhance the strength of the opponent.

Although Tao Qian is old and sickly, he is not confused, and he knows anything about Xuzhou.

It's just that many times, I don't want to do too much, and I'm too lazy to care. Anyway, Xuzhou is going to be handed over to Feng Ye, why should he offend people at this time?

From the last time Cao Bao and Zhang Min led the troops out without authorization, claiming to be to suppress bandits. Tao Qian had already begun to pay attention to them.

Whether they are corrupt or deduct military salaries, at this time, Tao Qian will not take care of them. He believed that Feng Ye would be able to handle these things.

But these two fools, Cao Bao and Zhang Min, want to sabotage his dedication to Xuzhou, and they have already violated his bottom line.

Before these two guys could launch a mutiny, they had already been captured alive by Tao Qian's Danyang elite soldiers. After a torture, these two people were not heroes, and they immediately recruited everything.

Including the last time he took people to intercept and kill Feng Ye's transport team, they all confessed.

Tao Qian took his subordinates and went ten miles out of the city to welcome Feng Ye's arrival, while Cao Bao and Zhang Min, two idiots, were tied to the front of the team.

"Hussar general, the old emperor is not strict, please forgive the general.

These two people intended to do evil to the general, and the last time the general passed by with a convoy, it was the two of them who took people to intercept and kill.

Now the old man will hand over these two people to the general to dispose of. Tao Qian was very aware of the current affairs and handed over the two to Feng Ye.

After all, Feng Ye is powerful now, and among the Xuzhou Mansion, I don't know how many officials want to take the certificate of surrender and surrender to Feng Ye.

Wouldn't this Cao Bao and Zhang Min be the best way to vote for their names? Even if Tao Qian didn't take them down, I was afraid that the generals under the command of the two would have this mind.

"These two people, are Zhang Min and Cao Bao?" Feng Ye looked at the two people who were beaten and knelt on the ground in embarrassment, and asked Tao Qian.

Tao Qian didn't show a trace of surprise when he heard Feng Ye say the names of these two fools, and his evaluation of Feng Ye in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher.

"Does the general know about the two of them?" Tao Qian asked in surprise.

In front of the civil and military generals of Xuzhou, Feng Ye didn't say much, just smiled mysteriously and nodded.

Many of these Xuzhou officials have their own careful thoughts, and in Tao Qian's dedication to Xuzhou, there are people who have other ideas, but not only Cao Bao and Zhang Min, two idiots.

It's just that these two idiots fell too quickly, and the others still had time to help them quietly, and these two guys had already been taken down by Tao Qian's people.

Tao Qian's actions suddenly made people who were still a little cautious dare not make any more changes.

In fact, these local clans also had enough reason to be dissatisfied with Feng Ye's rule.

Just because Feng Ye reused the people of Youzhou, and the scholars in other places could only start from small officials, which had already made many families dissatisfied.

What's more, Feng Ye proposed that the wasteland reclaimed by the people themselves is owned by individuals, and he also provides services for renting farming cattle and farm tools.

It can be said that under this policy, as long as the hard-working peasants who are willing to work, they can live a prosperous life. It will lead to a large-scale reduction of tenant farmers.

This policy is really unfriendly to these landlords, wealthy families, and other wealthy people who have a lot of land and fields.

Without the tenant farmers, would they, the noble scholars, have to go down to the fields and cultivate the fields themselves? This kind of policy is simply unreasonable.

Now that Xuzhou is also under Feng Ye's rule, how can these landlords and gentry in Xuzhou give up. In fact, there were not many people who contacted Cao Cao.

At least it's not just Cao Bao and Zhang Min, but it's only the two of them who are really ready to resist. Everyone else understood that Feng Ye was powerful and was ready to fight secretly.

But now, Feng Ye knew the names of Cao Bao and Zhang Min lightly, and he was not surprised at all that Tao Qian pressed these two people over.

This shows that Feng Ye knows the situation in Xuzhou very well. Since Feng Ye knows about Cao Bao and Zhang Min, does he know about them?

Feng Ye is not triggering it now, is he ready to catch it all in one go, or is he ready to put a long line to catch a big fish? Let these smart people keep calculating the pros and cons in their hearts.

How much news did Feng Ye know? They didn't know, but they didn't dare to bet, because once they lost the bet, it would be the end of the whole family.

"Let's go into the city first. For these two fools, it's not worth the time here. Feng Ye said.

"General, please. Tao Qian said politely.

When the group came to the council hall in Xiapi City, Tao Qian began to introduce Feng Ye to the officials under his command.

Feng Ye did have some understanding of Xuzhou, but it was only on the surface. In Xuzhou, he didn't care about the other families, but there were only two families, and he was very interested.

One is the Mi clan of the East China Sea, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and the other is Chen Gui and Chen Deng of the Huaipu Chen clan. The two Mizhu brothers are okay to say, the key is that Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, are both old and cunning.

As for the other officials under Tao Qian, in Feng Ye's eyes, they are all ordinary people and not worth mentioning.

Zang Ba had been following closely behind Feng Ye, and when he looked at the other officials in Xuzhou, he naturally had a somewhat condescending posture.

Especially when he looked at those generals, he looked at them with a bit of scrutiny. After all, these people will be his subordinates in the future.

After the army entered the city, Zang Ba quickly led people to take over the city gate and the military camp in the city.

All the officers, big and small, among the generals, were transferred out of the army. I changed the people I brought. At this time, no officer dared to express dissatisfaction.

From this moment on, Xuzhou was completely in his hands. The heart he had been hanging on also began to let go. Feng Ye's policy here is really not very friendly to the big landlords, and it is inevitable that these people will make it bad.

The lord entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he naturally would not put his lord in danger.

After Tao Qian introduced the civil and military officials under his command and everyone took their seats, Feng Ye said to Tao Qian: "Tao Envoy, since you have entrusted Xuzhou to me, I can't help but express it.

Therefore, in Jizhou, 10,000 acres of fertile land were prepared for the Tao family, and 500 cattle were cultivated. 1,000 foreign prisoners of war. It is used as a pension for Tao Yuanjun.

As for the two sons of the envoy, if they are interested in being officials, they can also be officials in Youzhou or Jizhou. It's just that you need to start as a small official. In the future, if you have merit, you will be promoted. Feng Ye said.

Since Tao Qian is willing to give up Xuzhou, no matter what the reason, Feng Ye always gets the benefits of others, and he has to have something in return.

Tao Qian is now old and sick, and his time is short, and Feng Ye can only put this reward on Tao Qian's two sons.

In fact, this is also Tao Qian's main purpose, he knows very well that after his death, his two sons will not be able to keep Xuzhou.

It's better to sacrifice Xuzhou when you're still alive, and you can still sell your favor.

"In this case, then thank you General Gao Yi. Tao Qian said to Feng Ye gratefully, he knew what virtues his two sons had.

If it weren't for the fact that those two guys were really unsuccessful, he wouldn't have given over the prosperous Xuzhou to others. Now Feng Ye is willing to let his two sons be small officials.

In fact, Tao Qian's heart is very satisfied, at his age, many things have been understood, and it is easy for incompetent people to fall down and die if they push him to a high position.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, his son can really only be regarded as a mediocre person.

Tao Qian felt that although his two sons were a little unsuccessful, they could still be a small official. What's more, Feng Ye also gave so much land and cattle, as well as foreign prisoners of war, but he could save the family.

After the meeting with the Xuzhou officials, the cyborg officials brought by Feng Ye began to officially take office.

Since Feng Ye has taken over Xuzhou, the chief political officials above the county order will definitely be replaced by cyborgs. No matter how talented these original officials in Xuzhou were, Feng Ye couldn't let them be the chief officials for the time being.

However, it is not possible to dismiss all of these officials, but only to turn them into auxiliary officials. Either promoted, or demoted, transferred from the position of government. This inevitably leads to some turmoil.

Fortunately, with Zang Ba's strong military support, the officials who did not have military power in their hands could not make trouble if they wanted to. It's just that slavery is common here in Xuzhou, and many large families have thousands of slaves.

As soon as Feng Ye's officials came, the first thing they did was to give all the slaves free status, and lend them farm tools and livestock to encourage them to cultivate the wasteland.

It doesn't matter if there is no spare field in Xuzhou, Qingzhou next door has it, Qingzhou is now ten rooms and nine empty by the yellow turban, and the fields are. Even if Qingzhou is not enough, there are still vast and sparsely populated Youzhou and Bingzhou.

This policy of not allowing slaves can be said to make the Xuzhou scholars and heroes complain. Without serfs, who will give them farming?

Without serfs, the cost of employment rose sharply. The servants who used to be able to serve themselves by stuttering now don't give hundreds or thousands of dollars a month, so they don't even want to hire people.

And the hired people can't beat or scold, they're so unaccustomed to it, and they don't use it as before. In the past, when the servants did something that dissatisfied their masters, they would immediately kneel down in fear and admit their mistakes, begging their masters to punish them lightly.

But now, as soon as the turn over and slap him in the mouth, they may run away. Let the old men wear clothes and find no one to serve them, it is simply a country that will not be a country.

Many big families felt that Feng Ye was trying to cut their foundation.

"Lord, the family of Xuzhou has been secretly connecting recently, and many officials are also involved, and the last general estimates that they will take all the actions recently. "Since Zang Ba took over the military power of Xuzhou, he can be described as conscientious.

Xuzhou is different from other places, Youzhou and Bingzhou because they are border counties, there are very few families in that place, and there are at most a few landlords. Although he was dissatisfied with Feng Ye's policy, he couldn't make a few waves.

Qingzhou is because it has been plagued by the Yellow Turban, and there is no family anymore, so the reaction to this policy is not strong, and the strongest Jizhou surrendered after the defeat.

Most of the big families in Jizhou put all their family strength under Yuan Shao's command. With the defeat of Yuan Shao, they also lost the ability to resist. can only be obedient and obedient, even if the children of the family are outstanding, they can only start from small officials.

Xuzhou is different, Xuzhou was dedicated to Feng Ye by Tao Qian, and has not experienced war. Therefore, the big family here has not experienced the beating of the iron fist of justice, the strength in the family has not been damaged, and they feel that they still have the ability to resist.

Feng Ye felt that it was necessary for him to teach these families in Xuzhou to let them recognize the reality of society. The little power in their hands was worthless in the face of the Youzhou Raid.

"If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble. You keep an eye on the dots, and when they jump out, you hunt them down. It happened that the seized land was used to recruit troops. Feng Ye commanded.

"The Admiral understood. Zang Ba said with a fist in understanding.

After Zang Ba left, Feng Ye said to the guards beside him: "By the way, go and call the Mi brothers Mi Zhu Mi Fang, as well as Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son, and say that I have something to discuss with them." ”

"Honorable Order"

Mi Zhu Mifang brothers, and Chen Gui Chen Deng's father and son heard that Feng Ye had summoned them, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and hurried to meet each other.
