Chapter 107: The decisive battle in the Central Plains

When Zhang Xiu came to Xudu with his group of about 2,000 people left, hungry and yellow-skinned soldiers, Cao Ang's mound had been repaired, as Cao Pi expected, at the ceremony of inviting Cao Ang's armor into the mound, the title of Cao Ang on the inscription became Cao's xxx generation's son Zi Ang, and in the name of the monument, Cao Pi's name was after Cao Cao, and it was written that Cao's xxxx generation eldest son Pi.

The goal was achieved, but Cao Pi was not overjoyed, but cried loudly when facing Cao Ang's armor, crying until he was out of breath and fainted several times, and was carried out after the ceremony.

Le Jin, who desperately supported Cao Pi to fight his way out of the siege in Nanyang, was far away in Hanoi, and immediately drank three bowls of wine in the Central Plains when he heard the news, and Zhang Xiu, who had just arrived in Xudu, was so ashamed that he fell ill, and the four major families of Yingchuan offered eulogies and gifts one after another, and even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, gave some gifts to express his heart, although his concubine Dong did not even have a funeral.

In addition, generals from all over the country sent some gifts to express their condolences to Cao Ang. At the same time, many advisors and generals had an obvious impression of Cao Pi, who had just become the eldest son in the ancestral hall: valuing love and righteousness.

Especially the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in the Divine Envoy Camp who witnessed Cao Pi crying until they fainted, privately said that as long as Cao Pi let him die, they would not hesitate to go, of course, including Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba.

Cao Pi has always disagreed with this kind of thing, but he understands that this is a supreme artifact that catches people's hearts, and his father and mother in his previous life will not shed a tear at home in the face of many difficulties, but when he sees some human tragedies outside, he will burst into tears, and often at this time he can capture all the headlines. ā€

After building a well-dressed mound, Dong Cheng's henchmen were also killed, the father of Queen Fu, Dr. Zhongsan, did not say a word in the court, and Yang Biao was one of the three when he was in court, as for Shaofu Kong Rong, although he would oppose Cao Cao some things, but no one supported him, Hu Ben had been replaced by Cao Xiu's military, Ren Jun's eldest son Ren Lan was in charge of the palace guards, and Liu Xie was completely under house arrest.

Then in December, Cao Cao officiated and married Zhang Xiu's daughter, and the person who married Zhang Xiu's daughter was none other than Cao Pi's half-brother Cao Jun, who was the son of Cao Pi's concubine Zhou Ji, because Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Bin had no heirs, so Cao Jun from the concubine passed to Cao Bin's knees, so nominally Cao Jun was Cao Cao's nephew.

Zhang Xiu, who had been calling himself sick, recovered immediately after getting the news, and prepared for his daughter to cross the door with a red face, obviously he felt that he should be able to live in Xudu safely, although Jia Xu blindly told him that they were safe from the day the mound was built, but until now, Zhang Xiu believed that what Jia Xu said was true.

In the same month, a person named Wei Qi suggested that Cao Cao take back the salt fields in Chang'an and let the government run them, because although Guanzhong is still in a state of separation, Han Sui Ma Teng is just subservient to the imperial court, and has already supported the army and has a land snake occupied, but after all, there is still a lack of conquest, many Guanzhong people who went to Shuzhong and Jingzhou for refuge should return to their hometowns when they hear the news, and after receiving the salt fields, they can use the salt produced to exchange rice and grain with the local clans, so that the people can have rice and grain to survive for a year when they come back. Then produce with peace of mind and enrich the household registration in Guanzhong.

Cao Cao appreciated this suggestion, and immediately sent Wei Qi to Guanzhong to manage the salt fields and recall the people as a scholar and servant Yu Shide, and at the same time, Cao Pi's divine envoy camp had dozens of children surnamed Wei, this group of children surnamed Wei was a general Wei Zi's clansmen who followed Cao Cao in his crusade against Dong Zhuo in the early years, Wei Zi died in the battle with Dong Zhuo, as Wei Zi's distant relatives Wei Qi took on the responsibility of taking care of the Wei family's children, and now Wei Qi went to Guanzhong, Cao Cao in order to calm his heart, he put the small characters of the Wei family into the divine envoy camp.

After all, Wei Zi is also an old subordinate who followed him in the early years, and if he wants to live until now, his qualifications are comparable to Li Dian and Le Jin, and he believes that his son Cao Pi can make the group of children of the Wei family die, at least now the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family have said at home more than once that they want to die for their son.

It's a good thing that there are more people, and Lu Bu's income is more, so that now Lu Lingqi sees that Cao Pi no longer wants to be so cold-faced, Cao Pi doesn't care about it, and now he is dedicated to practicing swords and reading, and he doesn't have so much leisure, although Bian's mother urged him to have a round house with Shu'er several times, but Cao Pi said that he didn't have the heart because he saw Cao Ang's armor touching the scene, and the old lady Bian was helpless, so she only asked Shu'er to accompany Cao Pi more and comfort her son.

A month later, when the New Year came, Cao Cao took the sergeants out of the nest after the New Year on the second day of the first month of Jian'an, and went to Xuzhou to crusade against Liu Bei, and the pioneer was Zhang Xiu. As for Yuan Shao, Guo Jia thinks that he did not cross the river so quickly, the reason is very simple, although the runoff of the Yellow River is only one-thirtieth of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to become an insurmountable moat to the Yangtze River, but the Yellow River in early spring will still increase its flow sharply in the season when the glaciers melt in the upper reaches of the water source, and the huge amount of sediment will roll into the sea. There was no way to cross the river except to fill the Yellow River with corpses to build bridges. In late spring and early summer, when the river sand is less and the water flow is stable, the Cao army can only retreat to the land when they cross the river in a big way, so they can only retreat to the land, which is the best choice.

The natural conditions gave Cao Cao two to three months to solve Liu Bei, and Cao Pi did not follow this time, because Cao Cao asked Ren Jun to set up a field official in Yanzhou to cultivate rice paddy fields, obviously to expand the scale of the military tun, Cao Pi naturally wanted to stay in Xudu to provide some technical support for Ren Jun, and Cao Pi also took advantage of this year to circle a field to cultivate new hybrid seeds and increase some yields.

When it came to the sowing season, Cao Cao's good news came, although there was the support of the Mi family, but Liu Bei, who was weak, was still defeated by Cao Cao, and his family members were captured, and his righteous brother Guan Yunchang had no choice but to surrender in the siege, Cao Cao naturally treated each other with courtesy, and at the same time treated Liu Bei's family well. As for where Liu Bei ran away with hundreds of remnants, no one knows, but his best choice is to take refuge with Yuan Shao, who is preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao returned to Xudu, Yuan Shao also began to send troops, and Cao Cao immediately raised troops to the north and stationed in the south of the Yellow River, preparing to fight Yuan Shao to the death.
