Cao Pi's people in Liyang left most of them, Xu Huang took the soldiers who guarded the grain and sent them away, their task was very simple, that is, to harvest the wheat fields in Jizhou, in the winter of the eighth year of Jian'an, Jizhou must be a scene of easy children and food, and the culprit of this tragedy is Cao Cao, Cao Pi is an accomplice.

Cao Pi doesn't have too much guilt about this, since Guo Jia used the ruthless scheme of slaughtering the enemy's family when he was against Zhang Xiu, he has realized the reality that the people are as cheap as grass in the troubled times, as long as they fight, they will have to die, there is nothing to say, and after the world is peaceful, it is to have more children and more children, anyway, he Cao Pi has the ability to live.

Since the people did not plan to solve the battle this year, then Liyang, the bridgehead to the north, is particularly important, and Liyang needs to have a more stable defense force to store food, observe the enemy's situation, and ensure the safety of crossing the river.

A month later, when Liyang was still building a large number of buildings, Cao Cao returned to Liyang with a large army, and with it, there was a large amount of wheat transported by the people, and Liyang could not hold more than 100,000 people, so Cao's camp surrounded Liyang in a circle, and the flags were all over the sky, which looked very spectacular.

The first thing Cao Cao did when he returned to Liyang was to convene the generals to discuss the county government, as the commander of the grain Cao Pi, he naturally had to participate, his position was the first on Cao Cao's right, and the first one on Cao Cao's left was a yellow-faced man in his thirties.

This person actually saw Cao Pi a few years ago, he is Lu Bu's old department Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, when Cao Pi found him sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but look at his appearance carefully and then make sure, after all, there are still Cao Ren and Le Jin among the people who went on this expedition to follow Cao Cao from the beginning of the southern expedition to the north.

Cao Ren and Le Jin sat behind Zhang Liao. His face was as usual, as if there was nothing wrong with it, and he didn't know if there was any dissatisfaction in his heart. There are many generals under him, some of whom Cao Pi knows, and some who don't know, and as for the strategists, there are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Mao Jue.

After everyone sat down, Cao Cao said: "After this battle, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not worried, Jizhou is short of grain, which will inevitably lead to infighting between the two, now that the autumn has passed, the Central Plains will have a bumper harvest again, and the rice surplus can feed many displaced people. ”

Obviously, Cao Pi's hybrid rice broke out in this amazing harvest, resulting in a surplus of food in the Central Plains, Cao Cao wanted to gather more people and displaced people into his own territory, enrich the household, in the agricultural society, population means labor, military strength, commercial potential, is very important, and in winter, there is food in that place, the displaced people will gather to that place like a pilgrimage, if they can be settled, Cao Cao's foundation will be stronger under the enrichment of the household.

This is the reason why Cao Cao had to return to Xudu, but Liyang is equally important to Cao's army, because this is a bridgehead to pacify the north, and there is no room for loss, so he let his generals volunteer.

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, the hall fell into a brief silence, and after a while, Cao Ren slowly spoke: "The last general's wish" When everyone looked at him, Cao Ren continued: "Help the ruling Jin Wu to protect Liyang!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Cao Pi, Cao Pi also looked at Cao Ren with a stunned face, but he thought in his heart that on the night he first arrived in Xudu, Cao Ren led the horse for himself, so many years, Cao Ren is still on his side, Cao Pi was somewhat moved in his heart, and at the same time included this clan uncle in the list that can be relied on.

Cao Cao heard the "oh" sound, looked at Cao Pi and said: "Lone to return to the army this time, I'm afraid it will be next year before I can go north again, during this period, the land of Liyang is a lonely city hanging in HB, Zihuan may defend it." ”

Cao Pi knew that although the current Liyang city wall is not high, the location is not very important, but in the Sui Dynasty, Liyang and Cangting are the Great Sui State Warehouse, for no other reason, that is, Liyang has enough places to expand the city, and its geographical location is also the Central Plains to enter the north of the battle place, all this is actually from the moment when Cao Cao garrisoned Liyang in the north, but now he is involved in the rise of this important town, a sense of creating history is leisurely, so he got up and said: "There is still the Wei River on the bank of Liyang." , can lead water to build a moat, and then there is a cangting for the corner, as long as the city wall is half a zhang high, with the current strength of the four states in the north, no one can trap it. ”

At this time, a general in the seat stood up and said: "The last general is familiar with the tactics of the soldiers in the north, and the terrain of the four states is familiar with the chest. ”

Cao Pi didn't know this person, but Cao Cao smiled and said: "Since General Gao has this intention, he should allow it." ”

Since his surname is Gao and he is familiar with Yuan Jun, this person is naturally Gao Lan, and after Gao Lan thanked him, Le Jin also got up and said: "The last general is willing to follow Jin Wu to garrison Liyang!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's wonderful, you are all experienced generals, Zihuan can get this good help, but you can ensure that Liyang is not lost." ”

Guo Jia reminded on the side: "There is still a need for someone who is proficient in clerical work to be the marching horse." ”

Cao Cao looked back at Jia Xu and said: "Wen and Zhu Zihuan have been around for a long time, so it is better to stay in Liyang." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand: "No." ”

Cao Cao then said to Cao Pi: "Zihuan still needs someone, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I heard that Yingchuan Chen Changwen coerced the Son of Heaven to go north to mourn for Zheng Kangcheng, and he is quite famous among the famous people in the north. At the time of the discussion, Cao Pi will still call Cao Cao's official position, self-proclaimed official, and now he can be a legitimate dignitary, Cao Pi immediately remembered Chen Qun who went to mourn for Zheng Xuan with the edict of the Son of Heaven, this person and Cao Pi have shown several times that the means are very clever, and now he is about to take charge alone, just call him to his side to see what this person is capable of.

When Cao Cao heard this, he asked Liu Ye, "Chen Changwen is the Chen Qun of the Chen family in Yingchuan?" "Cao Cao is in a hurry, and it is obviously impossible to remember everyone.

"Exactly, this person has now returned to Xudu." Liu Ye replied.

"With him to come to Liyang to join the army" Cao Cao said and then said to Cao Pi: "Zihuan is the ruling Jinwu, the official position is the first person except for the lonely, there is no need to seal the name of the general, the land of Liyang is an important town in the north, and before the lone army goes north, only defend and not attack!" Don't rush in. ”

"No!" Cao Pi gave up.
