Chapter 446: Jade Seal

Back in Yanzhou, hearing what Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he was an official in the court, the strength of these families should not be underestimated, and there were hundreds of private soldiers in any family, and the successive violations made Cao Cao angry, because of the affairs in the court, he lost the country of Le'an, and let the Yuan army capture many cities one after another.

"Kill!" Cao Cao said heavily.

A big reason for the loss of Le'an is because there are changes in Yanzhou, and the most elite cavalry travels to Yanzhou day and night, delaying the fighters.

Hundreds of people were dragged to the streets, beheaded in public, hundreds of heads were thrown into the air, blood pillars gushed, the officials invited by Cao Cao to watch all changed color, Cao Cao is very gentle on weekdays, but when he gets angry, he kills the whole family, Jia Rong is domineering, but there is a person who is not as small as his wife and children, but Cao Cao is completely cut down and eradicated.

Dong Cheng's eyes among the officials were gloomy, the officials killed this time were middle-level officials in action, and he and Huang Wan Wang Yun were the principals, the strength of the family should not be underestimated, but the Cao army was also elite, surpassing the Cao army in numbers, but the combat effectiveness of the family's private soldiers was insufficient, lacking sufficient battlefield experience and the ability to cooperate with the battle, relying on a completely ruthless force, such a team could only kill a thousand enemies on the battlefield and lose eight hundred, when Cao Cao showed a strong position, the Han Emperor chose to be silent, many years of puppet life, Let him understand his own value, it is because of this that he will work hard to form an army before, and now his strength is not enough to compete with Cao Cao.

Another failure of the officials of the family, so that Dong Cheng was a little disheartened, and now Cao Cao's strength, in the entire Han territory is definitely among the top three, they have the heart to revitalize the Han court, there are no troops in their hands, the Han Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, so that the officials realize that only with the army in their hands can they revive the prestige of the royal family, with righteousness? can only make the princes more and more rampant, take Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, for example, is there really a big man in his heart.

Cao Cao killed the officials, the face of the Han Emperor was also a little gloomy, he had a little military power in his hands, and he had some confidence in doing things, but he still couldn't change the weak situation, under Dong Zhuo, under Jia Rong, he didn't expect that it was the same under the rule of the Eighteenth Road Princes who had crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and it was difficult for the Han to find loyal ministers, although he was young, he became stronger in this bumpy life, in order to achieve the goal, he could forbear, he suddenly thought of Gou Jian, that lying down and tasting courage, Just for a monarch who can once restore his former glory, Gou Jian still has strategists and generals to dispatch, and he, as the master of the Han Dynasty, has to look at the faces of others.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought endlessly, the old feelings became very ridiculous in front of interests, and the battles made the soldiers on both sides already bitter and bitter, and the low-level soldiers looked very shallow, you hurt me, and I will want your life in the future.

The land of Qingzhou fell into war, and tens of thousands of people fled to other places, but the most of them went in the direction of Chang'an.

The land of Chang'an Sanfu, after the operation of the Xiliang Army, gradually restored its prosperity, the people reclaimed the fields, with the convenience of water conservancy, do not have to worry about the drought, the taxes are very low, the people do not have to worry about life, the smile on the face gradually increased, at this time the people under the rule of Jia Rong have reached more than two million, this is not counting the three cities on the grassland, when they took over these places, the people were less than a million, with today's results, Jia Rong is enough to laugh at any prince in the Central Plains, compared to the family, Jia Rong believes in the saying of the world that those who win the hearts of the people say that without the people, there will be no soldiers' clothing, food and armor.

The situation is still in a state of stalemate, a heavy snow in winter, let the warring Cao army and Yuan army strike the war, the snow is very heavy, the snow on the road can reach the root of the legs, most of the people's houses are built casually, how to withstand such destruction, the cold wind is whistling, the people shivering in the snow can be seen everywhere, repeated battles, the people in Yanzhou Qingzhou and other places have become poor, there is no surplus food at home, and in the year of the snow disaster, they can only wait for the relief of the government.

Cao Cao was very angry, there were too many displaced people in Yanzhou, so many that it was impossible to deal with them, there was no surplus grain in the warehouse, and there was no relief for the homeless people, but he did not regret sending troops to Xuzhou.

In desperation, Cao Cao followed the advice of his advisers and recruited the young and strong among them to join the army, and the rest rushed to the land of Chang'an, where these exiles could increase the burden of the Xiliang army and make it unable to attack, which could also provide some time for the princes of the Central Plains to recuperate.

Seeing that the matter was critical, the General's Mansion mobilized soldiers to clear the snow on the one hand, and organized soldiers to repair houses for the people on the other hand.

Now the people of Liangzhou have reached the point of self-sufficiency, every household has surplus grain, not like the state, the people not only live poorly, there is no money in their hands, completely rely on the support of the government, the West Liang army is different from the princes that set of benevolence and righteousness, want to eat enough, can, pay enough labor, now in the land of Liangzhou, there are still many roads to be repaired, many houses need to be built, displaced people come to take refuge, what is most needed is a place to be able to settle down, the officials of Chang'an do these things, with ease.

A sum of money was quickly disbursed, and the people who collapsed were gathered into emergency housing, which was made of stone, not very warm, but more stable than those thatched wooden houses.

Jia Rong led the soldiers to walk on the road that was swept out, looking at the busy people, with a relieved smile on his face, and now the Xiliang Army, everything is on the right track, once there is a war, there is no need for Jia Rong to go to the battlefield in person, and the fierce generals under his command are just sent to experience.

Yuan Shu of Yangzhou received a mysterious wooden box, the box was written with very small four words "Yuan Shu personally opened", ruling Yangzhou, Yuan Shu had money, soldiers and food in his hands, and the small life was not bad, God seemed to take care of Yangzhou, and there was not much disaster.

Glancing over the people in the room, Yuan Shu gently opened the box.

What caught his eye was a thing wrapped in yellow silk, and he couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, and Yuan Shu uncovered the yellow cloth layer by layer.

With just one glance, Yuan Shu couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and his mouth was surprised to be able to hold eggs.

"All the generals go back, General Ben is a little tired." After Yuan Shu reacted, he hurriedly put away the things in the yellow cloth, this kind of thing, the less people see it, the better.

The generals stood up one after another to take their leave.

Only Li Feng was left in the house, "I don't know what the lord got?" "He is the master of Yuan Shu, and he is deeply used, whether it is marching to fight or giving advice, most of them are from Li Feng's hands, and he is an important strategist of Yuan Shujun.

Yuan Shu couldn't stop the smile on his face, and gently pushed the box in front of Li Feng.

Li Feng observed carefully for a moment, the look on his face was the same as Yuan Shu, but he was surprised, but his heart was full of worry, the origin of the jade seal was unknown, something like this was definitely not as magical as the legend, it was just an excuse for people with ambitions in their hearts.

"God really helps me, in the past, I heard that 'those who represent the Han Dynasty will be painted high', my Yuan family is originally surnamed Chen, a descendant of Chen Naishun, such as today's jade seal, the destiny of heaven returns!" Yuan Shu is overjoyed, he has always hated Yuan Shao for overpowering him in everything, and now he has the jade seal and ascended the throne as the emperor, what else can Yuan Shao do, obediently bow his head and be a minister, thinking of this, his heart is very comfortable.

Li Feng frowned slightly, and persuaded: "Lord, no, although Yangzhou is rich, but there is Jingzhou Liu Biao eyeing the tiger, Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, and when he learned that the lord has a jade seal in his hand, he will definitely raise troops to attack, and Jiangdong Sun Ce is not an easy person, but for a few years, he has unified Jiangdong, and the soldiers are full of food, and he has repeatedly fought with Liu Biao, but he has not fallen behind. ”

Yuan Shu picked up the jade seal, looked at the eight words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" under the jade seal and the gold edge inlaid in the corner of the jade seal, and smiled disapprerovitously: "Liu Biao, Sun Ce, how can you stop our army!" It's just a local chicken! ”

"Last year, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, and other places suffered from snowstorms, but I did not have Yangzhou, this is the mandate of heaven, this general is the person to whom the mandate of heaven returns, and the army is everywhere, it must be a voice of surrender." Yuan Shu snorted coldly, still immersed in the great pleasure brought by the jade seal.

Li Feng saw that Yuan Shu had lost his mind because of the jade seal, and persuaded: "General, the jade seal is a big matter, I don't know how the general will deal with it?" "From the previous Yuan Shu's mouth, 'those who represent the Han Dynasty, must be painted high' Li Feng can guess a rough idea, but he is still a little unwilling, the princes are now showing that they are calm, I am afraid that as long as Yuan Shu is the emperor, those quiet princes will immediately jump up and draw a line with Yuan Shu.

"The decline of the Han family, and today there is a big chaos, when the throne is the emperor, and then let the princes from all walks of life come to Shouchun to see the court, if they don't follow, the army is everywhere, and there is no way to live." Yuan Shu didn't notice the change in Li Feng's tone at all.

"Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and he is also a member of the Yuan family, if he can get his help, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Li Fengdao, compared to Yuan Shu's half-hung level, Yuan Shao is really strong, holding a male soldier, and the generals under his command are like carp crossing the river, but these words can only be said in his heart, the two Yuan brothers are not in harmony, and everyone knows it.

Yuan Shu's face immediately fell, what he hated most was that others mentioned Yuan Shao in front of him, he was also a member of the Yuan family, that Yuan Shao was the son of the concubine, weishenme could become the leader of the coalition alliance, and weishenme could occupy the prosperous land of Jizhou, this time, when he got the jade seal, the distance between him and Yuan Shao would be instantly widened, and he thought that Yuan Shao would grovel in front of him, and his heart was extremely happy.

Li Feng saw that Yuan Shu's mind had been decided, and he continued to persuade him, but he couldn't bear Li Feng's persuasion, and promised that he would make a decision after a month, but he was secretly preparing to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
