Cao Cao, who captured Xuzhou and Sili, has expanded the size of the army, because in the campaign against the Western Liang Army, Xu Huang's performance was very eye-catching, not only superb martial arts, martial arts stepped into the first-class realm, the art of war is even better, the army is strictly disciplined, and Cao Cao praised it as "the wind of Zhou Yafu".

Who is Zhou Yafu? The second son of the famous Jianghou Zhou Bo, the second generation, but his achievements are no worse than his old son Zhou Bo, and even worse! Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Wu was famous for being good at governing the army and leading the troops, and the text was known for his outspokenness and holding certificates.

Throughout Zhou Yafu's life, he did two brilliant things: one was to garrison Xiliu, who was strict in governing the army, and made contributions to defending the national capital Chang'an from being trampled by the Hun iron cavalry. The second is to command and quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and in three months, the conspiracy of the princes and kings to try to split and divide the territory was smashed, and the political situation of unity and stability was maintained. Zhou Yafu made great contributions to the consolidation of the rule of the Western Han Dynasty.

Comparing Xu Huang with Zhou Yafu, it can be seen that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Xu Huang. Then, Cao Cao specially found Han Ji for Xu Huang to create a new weapon silver axe, as for Xu Huang's original gold-backed mountain axe, although it is not ordinary, but it is still far worse than the silver axe, and at the same time, Xu Huang also prepared a new armor, and also set up an army for him, called the Kui Niu Army.

Kui Niu is a mythical beast in ancient times, born in Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, shaped like a cow, the whole body is cyan, no horns, only one foot grows, and there will be a storm every time it appears. It also shone like the sun and the moon, and its roar was as deafening as thunder. Later, the Yellow Emperor obtained this beast, made a drum from its skin and made a mallet with the bones of the thunder beast, and beat the drum, and the drum sounded five hundred miles away, intimidating the world. And Kui Niu is born with heaven and earth, there are only three in the world, the first one was killed by the Yellow Emperor, and the second was killed by Qin Shi Huang, it can be said that Kui Niu is already a unique beast in the world.

Xu Huang was also very familiar with the situation of Si Li because he had been escorted by Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and he had lived in Si Li for a long time when he was under the command of Yang Feng in the Xiliang Army, so Cao Cao asked Xu Huang to be stationed in Luoyang, and the defense of the General Consul Si Li, Zhong Xuan was Jing Zhaoyin, Zhang Ji was Chang'an Ling, Sima Lang was Ruyang Ling, and Du Yi was changed from the position of Sikong Sizhi to Hedong Taishou.

Du Yi was deeply valued by Cao Cao, and after being recommended by Xun Yu, he served as the Sikong Sizhi for a long time, responsible for supervising the hundred officials in the capital, which can be described as prominent, and Cao Cao released him to serve as the Taishou of Hedong, and it is difficult to say whether it is a promotion or a demotion, but Cao Cao and Du Yi both understand in their hearts that Cao Cao wants a stable rear, especially the latest Si Li. Among the subordinates, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places are dilapidated, only the land east of the river, where there are many scholars, needs a person with enough fame, family background and ability to manage, and Cao Cao's most favorite is Du Ji.

At the same time, Xuzhou alone, after a year of stabilization, Xuzhou gradually resumed production, but only to the point where Cao Cao did not need to spend money. The reason why the rich land of Xuzhou is so dilapidated, on the one hand, is also due to the Cao army, and the war is chaotic, so it is inevitable that there will be some accidental injuries; On the other hand, it is Tao Qian's mediocrity and incompetence, coupled with the connivance of bandits to run rampant in Xuzhou.

In order to prepare for the war, Cao Cao also established a new army in Xuzhou, named Chexia Hushi, with Chen Deng as the main general and Zang Ba as the deputy general to guard Xuzhou. Then, Cao Cao transferred back Yu Ban and his Tianfeng army.

Yu Ban is Cao Cao's old subordinate, and he followed him before the battle against Dong ended, and now it has been seven years, and he is loyal, and he has been a border guard for Cao Cao for four years, and he has kept Cao Cao's south from being disturbed by Yuan Shu. In the past four years, he has barely gained any credit, but he still has no resentment, and he has conscientiously adhered to Pei County and Xiapi County, and now Cao Cao should give his wise general some opportunities, and it is time for him to return to the front line!

Yu Ban's Tianfeng Army, Xiahou Dan's Qingzhou Army, Xiahou Yuan's Leopard Army, Cao Hong's War Bear Army stationed in Dong County and Li Dian's Xuanwu Army stationed in Taishan County totaled 120,000 people, Lejin's elite cavalry Longxiang Army of 12,000 people, Cao Chun's 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Sun Ce's expansion reached 3,000 people, Li Tong's 3,000 Modao Army, Xu Chu's 3,000 Tiger Guards, Dian Wei's 500 Iron Guards, not counting the Minfu and Tuntian Army, the Cao Army gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River totaled 150,500 people!

And under Yuan Shao's command, Ju Yi's 3,000 Xiandeng camp, Zhang He's 6,000 halberd soldiers, Yan Liang's 6,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, Wen Chou's 3,000 iron guards, Gao Gan's 50,000 Bingzhou army, Yuan Tan's 70,000 Qingzhou army and Yuan Shao's 100,000 Jizhou army, the Yuan army concentrated on the north bank of the Yellow River has reached 238,000, a full 87,500 more than Cao's army, nearly 100,000 more troops, and the ratio of Cao's army to Yuan's army is even close to 1:2!

Of course, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao left a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison the rear. After all, whether it is Cao Cao who has Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and Zhang Lu in the rear, or Yuan Shao who has Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Liu Bei behind him, neither of them dares to let go of their backs to these people, they don't want to be praying mantises, and then let people make yellow finch, and even praying mantis can't do it, and they become a cicada in vain.

On Cao Cao's side, strategists: Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Cheng Yu (Cheng Yu was transferred back by Cao Cao from Cao Ren's Flying Tiger Army), Man Chong, Zhou Yu; Military generals: Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Sun Ce, Lu Meng, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang.

Yuan Shao's side, strategists: Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Xun Chen; Military generals: Lu Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Yiqu, Zhu Ling (did not defect to Cao Cao as in the original history), Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi.

Among the strategists and generals on both sides, Cao Cao was superior. Just one Guo Jia made Yuan Shao envious, not to mention that there were three little friends who were no less than him. In terms of generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou have also broken through to the super-first-class realm, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu are considered to be against Hu, but the other generals are far from the generals of Cao Jun in martial arts.

Yuan Shao, who arrived at the battlefield, also had a whimsical idea and asked Chen Lin to write a "Essay on Asking for a Thief" to send to Cao Cao.

PS: "Asking for Thieves" doesn't count me and I have 2,000 words, don't talk about my water word count, I should open another chapter for the water word count.

PPS: I've slightly modified part of this "Essay on Asking for Thieves" and turned it into a Essay on Asking for Thieves that fits the plot of the book.

————————————————————————————————————

Gai Wenming's main plan is to control the change, and the loyal ministers are worried that it will be difficult to establish power. It is because there are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things; If there is something extraordinary, then make extraordinary contributions.

The husband is not the same, and the solid is not the same as the people. The ruler is strong and weak, Zhao Gao is in charge, the autocratic dynasty is in power, and the prestige is up to himself; When people are coerced, don't dare to speak up; In the end, it is expected that the destruction will be destroyed, the ancestors will be burned, and the humiliation will be used forever. and Zhenlu Later Ji Nian, the dictatorship of Shanlu, the internal and second armies, and the external command of Liang and Zhao; Arbitrarily judge all opportunities, and decide to save prohibitions; The lower tomb is replaced, and the sea is chilling.

So the Marquis Zhu Xuxing was angry, punished the rebels, and respected Taizong, so he could prosper the king, and the light was obviously melting: this is a clear expression of the minister's power. Sikong Cao Cao: His grandfather often served Teng, and he was a demon with Zuo Yi and Xu Huang, gluttonous and unrestrained, hurting and abusing the people; Father Song, beggar and raising, because of the stolen position, the money, the right to lose, the theft of Dingsi, and the overturning of heavy weapons. the eunuch and leave the ugly, there is no virtue, the ticket is cunning, and it is so chaotic.

The shogunate Dong Tong Yingyang swept away the rebellion; continued to meet Dong Zhuo, invaded the official and tyrannized the country. So he raised his sword and waved his drum, sent his life to Dongxia, collected heroes, and discarded flaws to use; Therefore, he conspired with Cao Tong and conferred on him as a teacher, saying that he was an eagle and a dog, and his minions could be appointed. To be foolish and short-sighted, easy to advance and retreat, injured and broken, and several mourners and apprentices; The shogunate reinstated the division of troops, completed the supplement, and led the history of the Yanzhou assassination, which was awarded by the tiger text. Qi Weishan, hoping to get a gram of Qin Shi's reward. And then he undertook the capital, acted violently, cut off the yuanyuan, and harmed the good. Therefore, Jiujiang is too guarded by the border, talented and handsome, and well-known in the world; Speak bluntly, not sycophantly; The head was hanged, and the wife and children were blamed for the destruction.

Since Shilin is angry, the people are full of grievances; One husband and one man, the state is in unison. Therefore, bow to Xu Fang, and take the land from Tao Qian; Wandering in the East, there is nowhere to go. The shogunate only strengthened the righteousness of the weak branches, and did not board the party of the rebels, so the revenge and reinforcement of the armor, swept the march, the golden drum sounded, and the humble people were frustrated; Save him from the danger of death and restore his position as the uncle: then the shogunate has no virtue in the people of Yantu, but has a great work in Caoye.

Later, he will return to the army and attack the captives. At that time, there were police officers from the north in Jizhou, and the bandits left the game; Therefore, Xu Xun, who was engaged in Zhonglang, sent out a drill to repair the suburban temple and protect the young master.

Exercise and let go: Exclusive coercion, when the province prohibits; insulting the royal family and disobeying the law and discipline; sit on the three stations, autocratic government; The reward is from the heart, and the killing is in the mouth; The five sects of light that are loved, and the three clans that are evil; Those who talk in the group are punished, and those who talk about it are hidden; Hundreds of jaws, the road to the eye; Secretary Shang will meet the court, and the secretary will be a member of the court.

If you want to lose the time, put an end to words, collect and kill without permission, and do not serve the country.

and King Xiao of Liang, the first emperor Mu Kun, the tomb is honored; Mulberry pines and cypresses, it is still appropriate to be solemn. And the commanders and generals came to excavate, broke the coffin and naked corpse, and plundered the gold treasure. To make the holy pilgrimage weeping, the people sad! Cao and specially set up the general of the Qiu Zhonglang and touched the golden captain, and the suddenness was not exposed.

In the position of the three princes, he behaves as a prisoner, pollutes the country and harms the people, and poisons people and ghosts! In addition, it is meticulous and harsh, and the science and defense are mutually set up; Confiscation is charged, and the pit is blocked; Raise your hand to hang the snare, and touch the machine with your feet: it is because Yan and Yu have bored people, and the emperor has grievances. Historical records, unTaoist ministers, greedy and cruel, Yu Cao is even worse! The shogunate accused foreign traitors and failed to complete the training; Add Xu to contain tolerance, hoping to fill the seams. And the ambition of the jackal, the hidden plot, is to destroy the pillars, the lonely and weak man, eliminate the loyalty, and only for the hero. Now it is a tun according to the warehouse, blocking the river for solid, and wants to use the axe of the praying mantis, the tunnel of the Yulong car.

The shogunate served Han Weiling and rushed to the universe; Millions of halberds, thousands of horses; Fenzhong Huang Yu's people, the momentum of the good bow and crossbow; and the state of Yue Taixing, Qingzhou involved in Jiluo; The army pans the Yellow River and corners its front, and Jingzhou descends like a leaf behind it: thunder and tiger steps, if you raise the flame to fly the canopy, cover the sea with fertile charcoal, what is the immortal? and the military officials, whose fighters are all from Youji, or the old camp tribe, salty and resentful, and sobbing to the north. The rest of the people of Yanyu, as well as the remnants of Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, were coerced and coerced, and they obeyed the power when they came; Every one is created, and the man is the enemy.

If you go back to the square, climb the high hill and beat the drum, and Yang Su waves the road to open and descend, it will fall apart, and there will be no bloody blade. Fang Jin's Han Dynasty is late, and the outline is relaxed; There is no auxiliary in the holy pilgrimage, and there is no tendency for the humerus to rush. Within Fangji, the concise ministers all hung their heads and □ their wings, and they didn't rely on it; Although there are loyal and righteous ministers, how can they show their integrity? He also commanded 700 elite soldiers, surrounded the palace, supported the guards outside, and was restrained inside. Afraid of the sprout of its usurpation, it is made because of it. This is the autumn of loyal ministers' livers and brains, and the martyrs' meritorious service meeting, but it is not reluctant!

Cao and overbearing, send troops. I am afraid that the remote states and counties, if they listen to it, they will rebel against the people, and they will lose their name and laugh for the world, and they will not take it. On the same day, the four states of Qingdao and Hebei are advancing simultaneously. When the book arrived in Jingzhou, he mobilized his troops and coordinated with General Jianzhong. The state and county all reorganized the volunteers, fell into the realm, raised their might, and Kuang Sheji: it was very successful.
