The news that Yuan Shao had left Gao Ran to garrison Beiqiu County and withdrew to Bohai County soon reached Wang Lei's ears. In this regard, Wang Lei did not send troops to pursue the victory. The 30,000 stone of grain lent by Cao Cao was not enough to support Wang Lei to completely defeat Yuan Shao, but he was more than enough to protect himself. This also happens to be Cao Cao's cleverness, allowing Wang Lei to stabilize but not allowing Wang Lei to fight back, forming a situation of confrontation between Wang Lei and Yuan Shao.

No matter what Cao Cao's mind was, this battle finally came to an end.

Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Lei was reading a book seriously, and Tian Yu sat calmly below.

Time passes slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Lei still had no intention of putting down the book. Tian Yu was sitting in a precarious position, and he did not take the initiative to break the peace. Tian Yu carefully recalled what he had done these days, there was nothing wrong with it, Wang Lei came to him, but he didn't rush to speak, it was clearly a test for him, so he was not in a hurry.

Knowing Wang Lei's thoughts, Tian Yu was still waiting meticulously. If you think that you have made a little merit, you will be proud and complacent, and it is impossible to get Wang Lei's respect.

Wang Lei was indeed reading, but he glanced at Tian Yu from time to time. He called Tian Yu here to test Tian Yu's patience. It's easy to guess, but it's not easy to stay calm all the time.

The expression on Tian Yu's face was very indifferent from beginning to end, and he sat upright without any change.

Wang Lei was quite happy in his heart about this situation.

After nearly a stick of incense, Wang Lei put down the book in his hand and broke the calm: "Yuan Shao left Gao Ran to deploy defense in Beiqiu County, and Yuan Shao withdrew to Bohai County, obviously because he died down and no longer carried out. When the war in Jizhou subsides, there will be a smooth transition time, but the stability is only temporary, and there will be wars in the future. What is the view of the national concession in this regard? ”

Tian Yu said: "Back to the lord, the war in Jizhou has stopped, and Yuan Shao's troops are in Beiqiu County to prevent us from attacking, and in the same way, Wei County must also prevent Yuan Shao's attack." He believed that Wei County needed an army to stay behind and monitor the movements of Yuan's army at any time. ”

Wang Lei asked, "What suggestions?" ”

Tian Yu said without hesitation: "General Zhang is good at defense, and it is most appropriate to stay." ”

Wang Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth, Tian Yu's opinion coincided with him.

"Someone, please come to the tent!"

The order was given, and after a while, Zhang Jaw hurried to the camp. After taking his seat, Wang Lei said: "This time Yuan Shao attacked Ping'en County, and you can only block Yuan Shao's attack by leading troops to defend." ”

Zhang Jaw's expression was calm, and he said humbly: "Relying on the prestige of the Lord Gong, the Jaw can block Yuan Shao's attack." ”

Wang Lei smiled, shook his head and said: "As soon as Yuan Shao hears my name, he can't wait to kill him immediately, if he can rely on my prestige to stop Yuan Shao, then it will be really good." If it's your credit, you don't need to be humble. After a pause, Wang Lei continued: "You have made great contributions, and you must not be rewarded." Moreover, your ability to command the army is very good, and it is really useless to transfer you back to Ye County to serve as a military commander. I appoint you as the general of the captivity, stay and guard Ping'en County, and when the time comes, follow me to the captivity. ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang Jaw clenched his fists in response, and his heart was quite excited.

Staying in Ye County as a military commander, it is impossible to transfer troops and generals, and it is difficult to make a difference.

Out of town, his ability can be shown.

Tian Yu felt funny in his heart, Yuan Shao, a child of the Yuan family from a famous family, instantly became the thief Hu Lu in Wang Lei's mouth. But Yuan Shao colluded with Wu Huan, and he could also be drawn to Hu Lu's side.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Tian Yu's body, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, Guorang's performance is also very good. You led the troops to block Yuan Shao's attack, and raised food to appease the people, which is indispensable. I'm going to transfer you back to Ye County, what do you think? ”

Tian Yu didn't answer, and arched his hand: "Lord, do you have a request for a lowly position?" ”

"Say!"

Wang Lei felt strange, he wanted to reward Tian Yu, but Tian Yu avoided answering.

Tian Yu said: "I implore you to stay in Ping'en County and continue to serve as the county magistrate of Ping'en County. ”

Wang Lei felt even more strange and asked, "Why?" After being transferred to Ye County, Tian Yu's position will definitely be improved, and it will definitely be bigger than the county order, but Tian Yu wants to stay, which makes Wang Lei quite surprised.

Facing Wang Lei's gaze, Tian Yu's expression was calm.

Tian Yu explained: "The lord did not give up, and promoted the humble position from the thief Cao to the county commander of Ping'en County. So far, the time of serving as the county magistrate has not exceeded half a year, and due to the short time, the lowly post has not done anything in Ping'en County, which is ashamed of the people of Ping'en County. This time, Yuan Shao attacked Ping'en County, and he made a meager contribution to his humble position, but it was not enough to worry about. ”

After a pause, Tian Yu continued: "I beg to stay as the county commander of Ping'en County because I want to temper my ability. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. He is still young, and he hopes to do something for the people. It is responsible for the people to govern a county and let the people have clothes and food; Allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment is also responsible for the trust and lowliness of the lord. ”

Wang Lei took a deep breath and felt relieved.

Tian Yu is not simple!

If you can calm down and do things, why worry about big things!

Wang Lei was not reluctant, and said: "I agreed to your request, with this ambition, I will wait and see." I hope that the next time I come to Ping'en County, I will see a scene where the road is not left behind and the house is not closed at night. ”

Tian Yu arched his hand and said: "I will not let the lord down!" ”

In the tone, there is a strong confidence.

Zhang Jaw looked at Tian Yu's eyes, and he was even more admired.

Next, Wang Lei arranged the handover of Ping'en County in a short time, and then left Tian Yu and Zhang Jaw to garrison Ping'en County, and returned to Ye County with Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, and Yan Liang.

……

Donggun, Taishou House.

The news of the end of the Jizhou war came back, and after Cao Cao read it, he had a smile on his face. Gongsun Zhan occupied part of Zhongshan and Hejian Kingdom, Yuan Shao occupied part of Bohai County, Qinghe Kingdom, Anping State and Hejian Kingdom, and the rest of the territory was controlled by Wang Lei.

This situation maintained the division of Jizhou.

For Cao Cao, it is the most appropriate.

Xi Zhicai had a smile on his face and said slowly: "Jizhou is divided, but with the observation below, Wang Lei will definitely win." It is not yet possible to determine the question of time, but it can be about a year at least and three years at most. ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, nodded and said, "One year to three years is enough for us to do a lot of things." ”

In his eyes, there is infinite fighting spirit.

Wang Lei is in charge of Jizhou, and he Cao Cao will not be weaker than Wang Lei.

Xi Zhicai changed his words, lowered his voice, and said: "After Liu Dai was picked up by Wan Qian, he has already led his troops to the battle. Wang Lei got our food support and defeated Yuan Shao, and Guan Hai came back with the yellow scarf. The strength of the Yellow Turban Thief has increased, Liu Dai will definitely die, and it is time for the lord to take charge of the Yanzhou Assassin History. ”

Cao Cao said: "Zhicai, be careful! ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "Don't worry, my lord, this time will definitely succeed." ”
