In the cheers of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Prime Minister Cao Cao was accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, and rode into Xiapi City with great ambition, and the last pillar was broken.

In addition, Xuzhou is also a strategic place in the southeast, to the south can block the 'little overlord' Sun Ce to the north, become a best bridgehead, to the west can be connected with Yanzhou, Yuzhou, forming a great strategic vertical, can be with the strong enemy Yuan Shao in the north, across the Yellow River confrontation, completely changed the previous unfavorable situation of being attacked on all sides!

In the Prancing Horse City, Cao Cao hesitated a little, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

"How about the money and grain in the city treasury?"

"The Metropolitan Governor has already sent troops to take over, and the number is being counted, please rest assured, Prime Minister!"

"How are the troops in the city settled?"

"The metropolitan governor has surrendered Wei Xu and Song Xian, and all the troops have been driven out of the city, and the reorganized and listened to the tune, please rest assured!"

"That~~~ How is Chen Gongtai now, is he alive or dead?"

"The Metropolitan Governor has captured Mr. Gongtai, and he has been properly settled, and he has sent people to guard him day and night, and it is foolproof!"

"Okay, Xiao Lang knows the old man's heart very well!" Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief and nodded admiringly, the first two questions are just a cover-up, what he really cares about is the third thing, deep down, for that incident back then, he has always hoped to get Chen Gong's understanding and open the knot that has been troubled for a long time, but unfortunately, the resentment is too deep, and he doesn't know how to start!

Since the people are still there, everything is easy to say, explain it slowly, and resolve it slowly!

Immediately, Cao Cao first asked people to post an example to appease the people in the city, and then, accompanied by a group of civil and military officials, he climbed the White Gate Tower in the east of the city and held a banquet to celebrate his achievements!

The battle of Xiapi, after more than a month, was extremely tragic, with tens of thousands of casualties, the army was completely in trouble, and almost withdrew its troops to the east, and the previous efforts were abandoned, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered, so that he had today's big victory, so he naturally had to celebrate, and at the same time he also wanted to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and by the way, discuss again, how to digest the big fat of Xuzhou!

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, pro-unification of the Sixth Army, pacification of the five counties of Xuzhou, meritorious achievements, all the people in the world look up!" At the beginning of the banquet, all the civil and military clasped their fists to congratulate, and the soldiers downstairs shouted in unison, and the sound of victory was endless!

"Hehe, the princes have a good reputation, as the so-called 'fight for the city to fight, kill the city, fight for the land to fight, kill the wilderness, under the great martial arts, it is a lot of skeletons and white bones, the old man has achieved this great achievement today, and the grief in his heart is actually far more than joy!" Saying this, Cao Cao took the golden cup, poured it full, and then threw it into the sky......

"This first cup of wine, the old man respects those creatures who have been devastated by the war, the people are innocent, the rise and fall are all bitter, I hope to calm the Quartet as soon as possible, and return the people of the Han Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"The prime minister has the world in his heart, and I admire him!" At the same time, everyone at the banquet threw the wine in their hands into the sky, sacrificing those who died in the war, and some of them were compassionate, with tears in their eyes!

Fighting has to die, not only the soldiers who charge into battle, but also the innocent Li people, taking Xuzhou as an example, the original household registration of millions of people, is the world's famous and wealthy state, but in the past two years, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, like a marquee, changed the owner four times in a row ~~~

That time was not a sword and soldiers, the war continued, all kinds of armies, you come and go, conscription, food, money, ......, sometimes will drive the people to the battle to participate in the war, with human lives paved a trench, trenches, plus because of the plague caused by the war, famine, the casualties are more serious, some people have estimated in their hearts, now the population of Xuzhou has been reduced by at least about half, or even more, it is definitely a big injury!

"Heaven bless, I hope this troubled era will end soon, the people of Li don't care whether the emperor is surnamed Liu, Yuan, or Cao, as long as the world is peaceful, they will be satisfied!"

"This second cup of wine, to those warriors who died in the army, if it weren't for their bloody battlefield, the old man would be able to sit firmly in the city tower today and celebrate his achievements!"

Cao Cao raised his glass again in his hand and threw it on the ground, when he set off from Xuchang, he brought out an army of 200,000, but when he went back, there were many faces that could no longer be seen, and their families, friends, and villagers ......, what a grief it should be!

"The Prime Minister is noble, the soldiers who died in the battle know underground, and they should also smile at Jiuquan and enjoy the steam!" The people followed and sprinkled wine on the ground, fought tigers and brothers, and went into battle with fathers and sons, and among those who died were their brothers, nephews, friends, and .......

People only see the glory of the victors, but they don't know that after each battle, the lieutenant generals and colonels are almost filial piety, and everyone has lost their relatives.

"This third cup of wine, to the princes seated, if it weren't for the princes' advice, bloody fighting, the old man can achieve today's feats, dominating the east and west, sitting on Yan, Henan, Xu, Si, the land of the four states, looking at the world, this is Mengde's work, but also your hard work, win the drink!" Speaking of this, Cao Cao first hugged his fists and gave a deep salute, and then drank all the wine in the cup!

"I am willing to die for the Prime Minister!"

"I am willing to die for the Prime Minister!"

…………………………

A group of civil and military generals, personal guards, and hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers under the city tower, all raised their arms and shouted, compared with material rewards, spiritual comfort is more valuable, to be able to follow such a sympathetic subordinate lord, An can not be effective!

"Good, good, meritorious service should be rewarded, it is justified, today the old man will reward the three armies to comfort the heroes!" Cao Cao is also smiling, there are so many elite soldiers, wise and resourceful people to help each other, pacify the world, just around the corner, "Come to people, take the credit book!" ”

In terms of meritorious deeds, it has always been the highlight of the 'celebration banquet', and this prime minister of the Han Dynasty is famous all over the world for his 'generosity and spending a lot of money', so everyone is full of brilliance in their eyes, and they have estimated their own merits in their hearts and what kind of reward they will get!

However, everyone also knows in their hearts that in this battle of Xiapi, who is the biggest hero, when the war is the most difficult and everyone thinks of retreating, there are two people who will fight with one force, and make suggestions to lure Lu Bu out of the city, so as to achieve this great achievement!

As for the others, especially those who have advanced and retreated, their hearts suddenly became uneasy, it turns out that people are right, they are wrong, on merit, the main battle should be rewarded, and those who think about retreat should be punished!

Soon, a group of pro-soldiers brought up boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, a large number of silk and satin, accompanied by dozens of stunning beauties, these are the rewards that meritorious people are about to get, on the other hand, the main book of the army also opened the 'merit book', ready to record at any time, there are officials who have been added to the knighthood, they have to return to Xuchang and then give!

Cao Cao first looked at the people sitting on the throne, and everywhere he looked, the generals of the main battle faction were on their toes, waiting to receive heavy rewards, while those civilian officials who advocated the withdrawal of troops were nervous, worried that they would receive punishment!

"Haha, Wen Ruo, Gongda, Second Prince, please come forward!" Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't call the two 'ghost talents' that everyone expected, but instead invited Xun Yu and Xun You, who strongly advocated retreating!

"See the Prime Minister!" Xun Yu and Xun You were also a little apprehensive, they were all strongly advocating the withdrawal of troops, and they also had a fierce dispute with Guo Jia, who was in the main battle, it turned out that the opinions of the two were wrong, if they really listened to them, there was still today's celebration banquet? Everyone has already run back to Xuchang to cry their noses~~

"Hehe, although the battle of Xiapi was won, it was extremely difficult to win, the sword went sideways, it can be used for a while, but it cannot be used for a lifetime!" Saying that, Cao Cao stepped forward and grabbed Xun Yu and Xun You's hands, "The strategy of retreating from the army that the second duke said is the plan of Wan'an, if there is a good plan in the future, although he advises him bluntly, there is no need to worry, as for this 'first meritorious service in the army', it should be owned by the second duke, and the rest of those who advise the retiring army will be rewarded!" ”

"Wow! ~~Rushing! ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu were stunned, all the Wenchen were stunned, and all the generals were also stunned for ......, no one thought that Cao Cao would play such a hand, without rewarding meritorious, first rewarding and admonishing ......, speechless, simply speechless!

Even Liu Bei, who was sitting in the corner of the banquet, was full of admiration, "The art of traitorous male use is really different from ordinary people, good skills, good intentions, today's reward, the harvest of loyalty is innumerable, amazing, amazing!" ”

"I am willing to serve the Prime Minister!" Xun Yu and Xun Yu were naturally moved, and the rest of the people were even more in tears, they were lucky to meet such a lord!

Next, Cao Cao really rewarded everyone one by one, or gave official titles, or gave gold and silver, farm houses, or beautiful flowers, all of them were happy, of course, there were two unlucky people who were not rewarded, one was Guo Jia who was raising a glass and drinking, and the other was Xiao Yi!

"By the way, what about Xiao Yiren?" At this time, everyone found out that the banquet had been held for a long time, but the biggest hero didn't know where to go~~~
