Chapter 172: Xu Yu Tou Cao
In order to be able to stabilize the newly occupied Youzhou as soon as possible, and then make it operational, Lu Bu naturally took the position of the governor of Youzhou, so as to increase the deterrent power of his rule over Youzhou.
As for Youzhou Don't Drive, Lu Bu transferred Chen Qun from Xiangping, Liaodong to here, because Chen Qun's ability to govern is extremely strong, and it is the best choice to become Youzhou Don't Drive and his deputy.
At the same time, Lu Bu transferred Xian Yufu from Yuyang County to Guangyang County and made him the Taishou of Guangyang County.
Although they are all too guarded, in fact, Lu Bu was also promoted for Xian Yufu.
Guangyang County is the county where its political center is located, which Yuyang County can compare!
As for the counties such as Youzhou and Pingzhou's Yuyang County, Xuansu County, Lelang County, Liaodong County, etc., which lack Taishou, Lu Bu selected a wave of capable and well-known county orders from the county seats, and asked them to temporarily serve as a county magistrate.
Supervised by Pingzhou Thorn Shi Qiaoxuan and Youzhou Don't Drive Chen Qun, if they do well, they will naturally really become a county guard, if they don't do well, let them get out immediately.
There are a lot of generals under Lu Bu's account, but there are very few capable civil officials!
Therefore, Lu Bu chose this method that was not a solution, and reluctantly let Youzhou and Pingzhou run as soon as possible.
After dealing with the issue of the transfer and appointment of officials in Youzhou and Pingzhou, it is naturally time to mobilize the army.
Mobilize these armies, either to occupy more territory and population that originally belonged to Yuan Shao, or to deal with the northward movement of Yuan Shao's army in the future.
Dai County, close to Yuan Shao's Bingzhou, Lu Bu was afraid that when the time came, the Bingzhou army would invade Youzhou, which was already his own.
Therefore, Lü Bu appointed Zhang Liao as the main general, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao as deputy generals, and Li Ru as the military division of the army, leading an army of 30,000 to garrison Daijun.
As for Zhuo County, it is close to Jizhou.
At that time, it was also directly facing Yuan Shao's soldiers.
The safety of Zhuojun is of paramount importance.
Therefore, Lu Bu personally led 20,000 wolf cavalry and 30,000 ordinary soldiers, with Gao Shun, Zang Ba and others as deputy generals, and Chen Gong as the military division of the army, stationed in Zhuo County.
Lü Bu led so many large armies to Zhuo County, if it was possible, he would naturally go south to Yuan Shao's Jizhou and occupy more territory and population.
At the same time, Lu Bu also asked Cao Bao to expand the navy to 10,000, increase the number of warships, train the navy, and let him lead the navy to meet himself in the Bohai Sea.
Jizhou is close to the Bohai Sea, and perhaps the 10,000 navy led by Cao Bao, who is responding on the sidelines, may be able to play a role at that time.
As for the security of his new political center, that is, Jixian County.
Lü Bu continued to appoint Hao Zhao as the chief general and Han Zhi as the deputy general, leading an army of 20,000 to garrison Jixian.
Defend Lu Bu's rear and deter those outlaws!
After receiving Lü Bu's order, Zhang Liao, Li Ru, Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao dispatched 30,000 soldiers, mobilized 30,000 soldiers, and the grain needed for the war horses, and the next day, they set off for Daijun.
As for Lu Bu, he accompanied his family for a few days in the Wenhou Mansion in Jixian County before leading the army to Zhuo County.
……
The battle between Guandu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao has also reached a fever pitch.
Of course, these happened before Lü Bu took over Youzhou, and even before Yuan Xi was captured by Lü Bu.
Otherwise, his son was captured by Lu Bu, and Youzhou was completely captured by the army led by Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao would have no idea of continuing to deal with Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao must have left Cao Cao behind, and then led the army north, to destroy Lu Bu, who was causing wind and rain behind him, and also captured his second son Yuan Xi!
On this day, Yuan Shao's military camp.
Xu You offered advice to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to take advantage of the emptiness in Cao Cao's rear to lead a large army lightly armed and advance overnight to capture Xu Du.
However, Yuan Shao did not agree in the end.
Because, Tian Feng had already told him about this strategy, which made Yuan Shao have a feeling of picking up people's teeth.
Under the plea of Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, although Yuan Shao forgave Tian Feng at that time, Yuan Shao still did not let go of Tian Feng who dared to give him an ugly look in front of everyone.
Yuan Shao saw that Xu Yu's offer was the same as Tian Feng's offer to him at that time, it was a sneak attack on Cao Cao's empty rear, and the proud Yuan Shao naturally would not use it.
Just when Xu You was about to say something, a news suddenly came from Yecheng, saying that Xu You's family broke the law, took advantage of the war to raise the price of food, and made war money, and now they are being arrested and imprisoned by the trial who is stationed in Yecheng and has a grudge against Xu You.
After hearing the news, Yuan Shao's face turned hideous and he was immediately furious.
He led the army to fight the cunning Cao thief on the front line, but Xu You's family maliciously raised the price of grain in Yecheng and undermined the stability of his rear, how could Yuan Shao endure it? !
So, Yuan Shao became angry and scolded Xu You alive, making Xu You embarrassed in front of everyone.
Yuan Shao didn't listen to his own strategy, and now he insulted himself like this who had contributed to Yuan Shao, and his family was tried and put in prison, which made Xu You hate Yuan Shao very much now.
Xu You, who was carried away by anger, betrayed Yuan Shao and went to Cao Cao's military camp overnight, intending to defect to Cao Cao and help Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao.
Xu You was indeed carried away by anger, his family was still in Yecheng, and now he defected to Cao Cao, and then helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao, when the time comes, will his own family in Yecheng still have the life to continue to live?!
Although Xu You's family broke the law and is now being tried and imprisoned, Xu You has contributed to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao naturally will not kill Xu You's family because of this.
After being locked up for a period of time, after Xu You's family members who broke the law learned a lesson in prison, they would naturally release Xu You's family.
And Xu Yu is now betraying Yuan Shao and defecting to Cao Cao, but he is bringing his family members who left in Yecheng, including those who did not break the law, into hell!
……
Cao Cao was naturally excited when he got the news that Xu Yu had come to defect to him, and Cao Cao felt that the time had come to defeat Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao, who was excited, even went out of the camp for several miles to greet Xu You, giving Xu You enough face.
Xu You was extremely satisfied, and felt that he had betrayed Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao!
Cao Jun barracks, in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Cao Cao and Xu Yu sat down to talk.
Xu You chatted with Cao Cao for a while, and then got to the point.
Xu You asked Cao Cao how long the grain could last.
Since Xu You had just defected, Cao Cao didn't trust Xu You very much, so he told a big lie that he could hold out for a year.
Cao Cao's lying made Xu You suddenly dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw Xu You's dissatisfaction, and at the same time deduced that Xu You was really angry with Yuan Shao, and then defected to himself, which didn't seem to be a fraud.
Therefore, Cao Cao told the truth and said that his food was only one month's worth left.
Xu You saw that Cao Cao was telling the truth, and also made Cao Cao aware of his predicament, so Xu You offered advice to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao realized his role, defeated Yuan Shao, and gained great merit!
Xu You's plan, naturally, was to burn down the black nest and defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, as recorded in history.
Hearing Xu You's plan to burn the black nest, Cao Cao, including Cao Cao's account, who was also in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time, suddenly brightened his eyes.
I only feel that they are about to defeat the powerful Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Cao Cao, who was very excited, praised Xu Yu violently, made him an official, and then naturally immediately mobilized his own soldiers and horses to burn Yuan Shao's black nest where the army was placed!
