11. Post-war gains and losses
After Cao Cao broke Zhang Miao's last stronghold in Chenliu in 195 AD, Yongqiu, he immediately moved a large number of people into Chenliu, and his family also moved to Chenliu County, and changed the Yanzhou administrative office to Chenliu County, starting a new round of Taoguang Yanghui.

And when Cao Cao asked the family to move into Chenliu, Cao Zhang also found an opportunity to recommend Mao Jie to Cao Cao, he didn't do anything, but always came to pick up his brother Cao Ang proposed that Mao Jie was very good at teaching, so he wanted to invite him to go to Chenliu together, Cao Ang listened to it and naturally went to see Mao Jue, Cao Ang was not a fool, and found that Mao Jie was very talented, so he took him to Chenliu, and recommended it to Cao Cao at the same time.
Cao Cao also greatly appreciated Mao Jue after seeing him, and in this way, Mao Jue began to come into Cao Cao's sight and became the real strategist of the Cao family, and the person who could afford to teach Cao Pi and Cao Zhang to read and write was replaced by another person, this person is Cheng Yu, who was domineering and exposed in Zhang Miao's rebellion, and this person's insight and wisdom are only higher than Mao Jue.
Cao Pi was still indulging in the joy of controlling the strings of the royal horse, and Cao Zhang naturally asked Cheng Yu about how to get on the right track in Yanzhou after this turmoil, and Cheng Yu naturally talked eloquently.
After Zhang Miao's rebellion, Cao Cao and Xun Yu began to reflect on their mistakes, after they became the Taishou of Dongjun, they incorporated the Qingzhou Army, defeated Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and then led Yanzhou Mu, this series of brilliant victories made him dizzy, thus forgetting to rectify the internal affairs of Yanzhou, as a foreign leader, he remembered the people's livelihood, remembered the military power, but ignored the loyalty of the leading cadres, so after pacifying Yanzhou, he began to rectify the interior on a large scale, up to the Taishou down to the county order, all for blood, Appoint people you trust and grow up in Yanzhou.
Secondly, Cao Cao began to really pay attention to talents, remembering that Chen Gong's strategy almost forced the Cao family to a dead end, if it weren't for Xiahoudun, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and other talents turned the tide and brought the Cao family back to life, and now the Cao family army has been disbanded, so Cao Cao began to seek talents, plus the death of Xi Zhicai this year, so that Cao Cao's think tank lost a big help, but fortunately, when Cao Cao asked Xun Yu for talent, Xun Yu recommended a very outstanding strategist, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao.
After the two met, they hit it off, Cao Cao specially set up the position of the air division for Guo Jia, which is equivalent to the chief of staff of the think tank.
Cheng Yu also admires Guo Jia a lot, a strategist who is more than half a hundred years old and has made great contributions has admiration for a young man who is only twenty-five years old, you can imagine Guo Jia's excellence.
Cheng Yu also mentioned that after this incident, Cao Cao also realized the importance of the quality of the sergeant, Cao Cao took the army to Xuzhou, and there were garrisons of the Cao family in various places, but Dongping Jibei and Dongjun had their own cronies and commanders to not mutiny, and the other sergeants all blindly obeyed the local Taishou and attached to Zhang Miao, this kind of thing must not happen a second time, the so-called noble essence is not expensive, this is the truth,
So Cao Cao began to let Dian Wei select elite soldiers to set up the infantry elite Tiger Guard, and let Cao Chun select people who can ride and shoot well to establish the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and those who survived the fierce battle for more than a year were the elite of the Cao Army, and the Tiger Guard Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the elite of the elite.
In the end, the Cao army also exposed a serious problem, that is, the problem of grain and grass, a locust plague, Cao Jun's food and grass were almost poor, so that Cao Cao moved to take refuge in Yuan Shao's mind, and because of this demoralization, he disbanded many sergeants, if it were not for the grain in the three counties of Qingzhou, this battle would not have to be fought at all, so after this incident, Cao Cao also resolutely implemented the military camp policy, which is also the reason why Cao Cao moved a large number of people into Dongjun and Chenliu.
After listening to Cheng Yu's narration, Cao Zhang suddenly became enlightened, although Zhang Miao's rebellion won hardships, but it did give Cao Jun a change in quality, so that Cao Cao had a new view on talents, army management, and logistics supplies, which also laid the foundation for Cao Jun to sweep the world, if there was no such crisis, maybe there would not be Cao Wei's future glory.
Cheng Yu was lecturing with Cao Zhang, and a guard came to the study and said, "Report to Dongping, Lord Zhou Mu is invited." ”
Because Cheng Yu made a great contribution in Zhang Miao's rebellion, he had to be crowned the prime minister of Dongping, and he was on the same level as Taishou, and he was 2,000 stones, Cheng Yu nodded and said to Cao Zhang: "That's all for today." After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
Cao Zhang stood up and walked out of the study, and the two guards at the door asked, "Is the third prince going to the street?" Do you want to notify the other four guards? ”
"Go to the street, no need, you two can do it." Cao Zhang said.
So he took two guards out of the mansion and walked to Chenliu Street to hang out, since coming here, Cao Zhang rarely wandered on the street, although it was only ten days after Zhang Miao's rebellion, but there were already shops opening one after another to do business, the people on the street saw Cao Zhang with two guards and knew that it was the official family, and they all gave way and did not dare to block.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind Cao Zhang, and the two soldiers were about to turn around and scold to see that it was the third son who dared to rush into the state pastor, but when they saw the people on the horse, the two guards immediately coaxed, and they didn't dare to make a sound, only heard a childish shout: "Third brother look at the arrow"
With a "bang", an arrow that had broken off the cluster of arrows was shot at Cao Zhang, and the two guards obviously knew who the person was coming, and knew that they often played this trick, so they didn't block the arrows, but let go of the way.
Cao Zhang sighed and swept his hand behind him, slapped the arrow to the side with a 'snap', waited for the man to rush behind him on horseback, held the horse with one hand, and then flew on the horse and sat behind the man.
The person who set up the horse is Cao Pi, who is about the same height as Cao Zhang, seeing Cao Zhang's elbow on the horse to Cao Zhang's ribs, Cao Zhang's hands passed under Cao Pi's armpits to set him up, and then pulled the reins, the galloping horse immediately neighed and stood up, Cao Pi saw that the horse stopped and grinned: "The third brother is amazing... ”
"Cao Pi, you've been playing this non-stop since the day you know how to ride a horse, aren't you tired of it?" Cao Zhang said helplessly, he never called Brother Cao Pi, because this guy peed on him.
"You call me Cao Pi again, and I will teach you a lesson when I hear it for my mother." Cao Pi laughed as he took the reins and headed towards the county hall.
"Huh? Where are you going? Cao Zhang asked.
"Go to the county government, ask my father to take us to Luoyang to have a look and have fun." Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Luoyang? How did you know that your father was going to Luoyang? Cao Xianran was a little surprised, Cao Pi was well-informed.
"Qi~~~" Cao Pi pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Sister-in-law told me!" ”
"Huh?" Cao Chang knew that Cao Pi was talking about Cao Ang's wife, apparently Cao Ang heard and told his wife, and then his wife told Cao Pi, secretly sighing that women were really gossiping, and the two brothers drove their horses towards the county capital.
"Cao Pi, can you dismantle this broken saddle, it hurts to hold my little JJ." Cao Zhang asked dissatisfiedly.
"Oh? Aren't you done sitting down? Cao Pi asked strangely.
"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu took you off the horse?"
"Okay, I'll dismantle it, no, what can I dismantle without a sword or sword? Biting with teeth? ”
"You go down, Lao Tzu in the saddle."
"Huh? Do you treat your brother like this? ”
The two of them were noisy and had already left the two guards far away.
