Cao Zhang first invited Mao Jue to sit down and asked: "Sir, now that Lu Bu has been defeated by my father and fled to Xuzhou, Dongjun has been recaptured, this battle is enough to deter the other four counties of Yanzhou Taishou, but Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao is still stubbornly resisting, in this situation, what should our army do?" ”

After Mao Jue sat down, he looked at Cao Zhang, who is only six years old this year but is as tall as the eight-year-old Cao Pi, and said: "This battle has been fought for more than a year, and the people of Yanzhou have suffered greatly, especially in Dongjun, which has been governed by dozens of battles for more than a year.

Cao Zhang listened and realized: "What does Mr. mean to relocate the population and make the two counties rejuvenated?" ”

Mao Jue nodded and said: "It should be so, and Mr. Cheng Yu's courage and Mr. Xun Yu's talent will inevitably persuade the lord to transfer back to the three counties of Qingzhou to sweep Chenliu with a thunderous momentum, and then migrate to the hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers and their families who settled in the three counties of Qingzhou to Chenliu in Dongjun, and at the same time bring the grain and agricultural tools of the three counties of Qingzhou back to Yanzhou, and distribute them to the families of Qingzhou soldiers to reclaim the ownerless wasteland in the two places as a military camp. ”

Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard this: "The hundreds of thousands of dependents of Qingzhou soldiers are the foundation of the three counties of Qingzhou, if you move back to Yanzhou, won't it be equivalent to giving up the three counties of Qingzhou?" "Will Cao Cao do such a thing as giving up the country? Cao Zhang was skeptical.

Mao Jue smiled and said calmly: "It is to break the wrist of the strong man, now the vitality of the lord and Lu Bu after the war is greatly injured, the three counties of Qingzhou have not recovered because of the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, and they still need a large army to defend them. I think the Lord should know what's at stake. ”

Cao Zhang was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers and their families in the three counties of Qingzhou have migrated to Yanzhou, firstly, to restore the people's livelihood, and secondly, to deter the Yanzhou counties, and also to transfer the soldiers guarding the three counties of Qingzhou back to Yanzhou to increase their control over Yanzhou. ”

Mao Jue smiled: "What the third prince said is very true. ”

Cao Zhang's political vision of Mao Jue is now full of admiration, and he sighed: "It's a pity that I'm still young, if I rashly recommend Mr. to my father, it seems that Mr. is good at franchising, but it is indeed a bit overkill to let Mr. teach me to read here." ”

Mao Jue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect Cao Zhang's young age to be so thoughtful, and he couldn't help but be even more impressed by Cao Zhang, only to hear him smile and say: "Time, life." The third son doesn't need to mind, and when he talks to the third son, his subordinates also benefit a lot. ”

Sure enough, in the next few months, Cao Cao really recalled the fierce general Le Jin and Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun stationed in the three counties of Qingzhou to Yanzhou, and the two not only brought the troops stationed in Qingzhou and hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers and their families back to Yanzhou, but also forcibly relocated the people who originally lived in Qingzhou back to Yanzhou, and settled in Jibei, Dongping, and Dongjun.

After doing these things well, Cao Cao immediately took his remaining 10,000 elites to attack Chen Liuzhang Miao, and at the same time let Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Cao Chun, and Cao Ang each lead a militia to sweep through the counties of Yanzhou, and then join forces to surround Zhang Miao who was stationed in Yongqiu.

At this time, Zhang Miao could only be trapped in Yongqiu, a small place, and even the county town of Chenliu had fallen, Cao Cao immediately asked Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to arrange for the people to migrate to Chenliu, enrich the household, and he led the army to surround Yongqiu, during this period, Yuan Shao north of the Yellow River was one step faster than Cao Cao, he won a big battle with Gongsun Zan in the north, forcing Gongsun Zan to retreat to Yijing, at this time Yuan Shao has basically controlled all the land north of the Yellow River, and the strength has become the crown of the princes.

But Yuan Shao was not satisfied, he began to cross the river to invade Qingzhou, sent his son Yuan Tan to attack Qingzhou, Qingzhou's leader Beihai Taishou Kong Rong was relieved because of Cao Cao's departure, but in a blink of an eye Yuan Tan's army arrived, helplessly led the crowd to meet the enemy, but this person really responded to the famous sentence of "It's an hour, big may not be good", Yuan Tan easily defeated him, since then Qingzhou also fell into Yuan Shao's bag, this year, Yuan Shao's power rose sharply, and the court worshiped as the right general.

And Cao Cao also broke through Yongqiu in the last month of the second year of Xingping and quelled the rebellion in Yanzhou, this time Yanzhou really recognized the Yanzhou pastor from other places, and the court officially worshiped Cao Cao as the Yanzhou pastor.

Treat his old friend Zhang Miao, Cao Cao still let the army let him escape, at this point, Cao Cao is indeed nostalgic for the old love, Cao Zhang heard Bian mention, Cao Cao first attacked Xuzhou for revenge for his father, before leaving to explain to Bian, if he Cao Cao died, you will go to Zhang Miao, and later Cao Cao returned to see Zhang Miao, the two still hugged each other and cried, how many people can have such friendship with Cao Cao in history? So Cao Cao really really wanted to let his old friend live.

But Zhang Miao was killed by his own men on the way to escape.

Throughout 195 A.D. Cao Cao because of the rebellion in Yanzhou, no time to take care of other things, the world has also undergone a small change, first Cao Cao's subordinate defeated Yuan Shu made a comeback, first he fled to Jiujiang, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, drove away Jiujiang Taishou Chen Yu, and got Sun Jian's son Sun Ce to take refuge, the strength soared, and at once Huainan, Lujiang, Shouchun half of Yangzhou into the bag, and at this time, Sun Ce also persuaded Yuan Shu to send him to attack the six counties of Jiangdong in Yangzhou, since then, Sun Ce will show his strength in Jiangdong.

The Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in Chang'an, also left Chang'an in the chaos of Dong Zhuo's old department fighting for power and profit, and the original intention was to follow the hussar general Zhang Ji back to Hongnong, the hussar general was a big official in the Han Dynasty, and the hussar general during the early Han Dynasty Emperor Wu was the famous Huo Quai, so Zhang Ji still had a little prestige in the Han Dynasty.

But later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty left Zhang Ji under the persuasion of his uncle Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, the repentant Dong Zhuo's old department, Zhang Ji was furious, and joined Dong Zhuo's old department Li Dao and Guo Yan to pursue Emperor Xian, and fled along the way, but the local officials in various places were busy running their own territories and did not pay much attention to this fallen emperor.

However, after Cao Cao stabilized Yanzhou, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's eyes began to focus on this exiled emperor, because they saw an excellent opportunity.
