Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Liucheng, basically, defeated Liaoxi Karasuma, and deterred the right Beiping Karasuma and Liaodong subject country Karasuma - the so-called strongest "Three Counties Karasuma" is also. So after returning to Youzhou, he spent another half a month basically dismembering the Right Hokuping Karasuma, as well as the relatively weak Kamiya Karasuma and Daijun Karasuma, according to what Shixun said, they were all divided into many small clans within a thousand households. As for Lord Karasuma of Youbeiping and King Wuyan of Khanlu, Cao Cao found an excuse to coerce him to return to Xudu - come back to have a leisure meal with me, and don't mess with Youzhou again.

As soon as the arrangements were made, Cao Cao planned to play a triumphant song and return to Xudu. So he convened the ministers to discuss, who should guard Youzhou? The warlords of the old days in Youzhou, except for Yan Rou, whom Cao Cao absolutely believed in and treated like a son, including Liu He, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, etc., all had to be uprooted and brought back to Xu Du to be a princess, and the six counties of Youzhou could not be ruled by no one - as far as Yan Rou was concerned, neither status nor fame was enough to hold the important position of assassination.

Assassin Shiben was a local supervisor dispatched by the central government, and then his authority became more and more powerful, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, he finally became a local head of civil affairs and military affairs, and even a secession prince. After Cao Cao basically unified the Central Plains, he also gradually weakened the authority of the assassin history, one was to divide the large states into small states according to the "division of states" mentioned by Shixun, and reduce the newly formed first-level administrative divisions; The second is to deprive the assassin of his military power and only pay it to civil affairs. Of course, the second is the heart of the place that has been firmly controlled, and for Youzhou, a distant state where Hu and Han live together, for the time being, the assassin must still have a certain amount of military power. in order to be able to govern smoothly. Settle down the place.

If only to be a civil governor. Yan Rou is qualified, if the military and civil affairs are grasped, Yan Rou may not be a good match.

After the group gathered to discuss, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were missing, because Guo Jia was seriously ill and lying down at the moment, and he couldn't get up at all. In fact, before Cao Cao returned to Youzhou, Guo Jia fell, probably because he was busy for days. The people were recruited to meet Cao Cao, but he suffered from the cold. After hearing this, Shi Xun's first thought was: No, even if he didn't conquer Liucheng, Guo Jia wouldn't be able to live after all?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the history books just say that Guo Jia fell ill when he came back from Liucheng and died soon after, but he really didn't mention it because of the hard work of the expedition. Before he left, Guo Jia's face was already not very good-looking—if it weren't for that, Cao Cao wouldn't have left him. And only with Xun Dongjin - maybe this person's longevity will end here, and he will run a dangerous road less. That won't save you.

It is said that there is another thing that also directly or indirectly led Guo Jia to lie down - during the time of Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Liucheng, the sixteen-year-old Cao Pi suddenly broke into the Zhen Mansion and said that he wanted to marry the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, who was also the old wife of Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi.

History has changed, but it still deliberately stubbornly shows its unstoppable inertia in some details......

In the original history, Yecheng was breached three years later, Cao Pi, who was on the expedition, took the lead in breaking into Yuan's mansion, and saw Zhen curled up in the arms of Yuan Shao's step-room, Mrs. Liu, and then the heart of the nineteen-year-old boy was deeply attracted...... This scene was not simply three years in advance, although Cao Pi had passed the crown ceremony in advance before this expedition, and the word was "Zihuan", but he was still a half-grown child after all, and Cao Cao did not plan to let this "second-year" age concubine directly rush to the front line with a weapon. Therefore, on the day Jicheng was broken, Cao Pi did not have a chance to see Zhen.

Zhen officially announced her divorce from her husband only after the news of Yuan Xi's escape from Yongnu came - of course, it was his brother and family member Zhen Yao who made this decision, not Zhen himself. In this era, especially in aristocratic families, both men and women are qualified to request divorce, although they must also get the consent of the other party, otherwise they must go to court, but Yuan Xi, who escaped from the scope of the Cao family, whether he agrees or not, does it matter?

Zhen Yao is an honest man, but at the same time, like the vast majority of the children of the family in this era, he must first shoulder the rise and fall of the family, and under this premise, he can talk about loyalty to the lord - as for the country and the nation, what is it? People who have not listened to Shixun's preaching in Taixue will not understand similar concepts at all. Previously, Yecheng was broken, because considering that his brother-in-law Yuan Xi was still in Youzhou, it was still possible to protect the Zhen family, so Zhen Yao led the whole clan to follow Yuan Shao to the north, and since then he has served Yuan Shao loyally. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, the Yuan family is almost extinct, and even Yuan Xi is almost empty and fled to Liaodong, so why is it necessary for the Zhen family to continue to ride on that broken ship, waiting for the arrival of the catastrophe?

Therefore, after the destruction of Jicheng, Zhen Yao was brought from prison to Cao Cao, and he immediately surrendered. The ancestor of the Zhen family is Zhen Han of Taibao at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, since the revival of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world officials have 2,000 stones, and their influence in Jizhou is very great, coupled with Zhen Yao's mediocrity, a large number of fields and properties have been confiscated by the Cao family after leaving Jizhou, so Cao Cao has no reason not to accept this kind of broken aristocracy that can be used as a banner but will not cause actual damage. Cao Cao immediately agreed to keep the Zhen family's property in Youzhou - Jizhou is forgotten, except for the old mansion can be returned to you, since I have eaten the land in my mouth, I will never spit it out - and expressed Zhen Yao as a lang, let him follow his second son Cao Pi for the time being.

It was Tong Guò Zhen Yao, Cao Pi saw Zhen Shi, who was four years older than him, after Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, and was shocked at first sight. Zhen Yao also felt that if he could take this opportunity to tie up with Cao's second son, although he was only a concubine, then the Zhen family would definitely be able to get out of this disaster and gradually revitalize, so he urged him to do it. Cao Pi's child was anxious and did not wait for his father's life, so he stayed at Zhen's house that night. It is said that the ministers left behind, including Guo Jia and Xun You, all went to persuade and even blame him, but they were confronted by the stunned Qing Cao Pi, and Guo Jia became angry after he came back.

After hearing about this, Shixun was very unimpressed by the rumors. If it is a rotten Confucian like Cui Yan, Guo Jia has been cold-faced and cold-hearted all his life, and few people in the Cao family have given him a good face, how can his psychological tolerance be so poor? In essence, this man is still tired...... Or rather, he is not in good health. And overuse the brain. Accumulate over a long period. Sooner or later, he will fall ill, and it has nothing to do with Cao Pi's reckless behavior.

After Cao Cao returned to Youzhou, when he heard about this, he immediately reprimanded Cao Pi, beat him with 20 sticks with his own hands, and then asked his second son to go back to Xudu with his injuries. I can recognize this family business, but what is my identity and what is the other party's family background? How can it be! Wait until you get back. It's time to choose a good day to marry you, what a hurry are you kid!

When he was about to triumph, he discussed the selection of the assassin in Youzhou, and hundreds of officials were gathered, and Guo Jia was the only one missing. Cao Cao was still hesitating, whether to return with Guo Jia, or let him stay in Youzhou for the time being to recuperate? Pressing down the anxiety in his heart for the time being, Cao Cao asked the ministers, who should be left to guard Youzhou?

Chen Qun recommended Chang Lin Chang Bohuai, a native of Wen County, Hanoi, and Wang Cang recommended Wang Ling and Wang Yanyun, a native of Qi County, Taiyuan. Shixun didn't belong in his heart, so he simply kept silent—but as far as he knew. These two may not be qualified in terms of fame or ability.

Then Xun Gongda stood up and spoke: "Chang Bohuai and Wang Yanyun are both loyal ministers, skilled in civil affairs, if Yan, Yu and other states, take them as thorns, they will be competent......" It was Xunxin who said that you praised these two words first, but did not mention Youzhou, but said that Yan and Yu in, then there must be a turning point behind - sure enough, I heard Xun You continue: "However, Youzhou is huge, the west and north are Xianbei, the east is connected to Gongsun Du, the Yuan family is extinguished, the remnants of the party are rampant, and the black pills are spread, the system is initially established, and it is comparable to other states." If you stay in the secluded minister, you must have three long ......"

As he spoke, he began to wrench his fingers: "First, it is not only civil affairs, but also military, and it may not be able to capture the flag and kill the generals, but can supervise it; second, familiar with side affairs, the outside can know the grandson, and the inside can resist the miscellaneous hu; Third, he is a well-known minister in the world, and he can be ...... in other aspects."

Shi Xun listened and nodded secretly - Xun Gongda was reasonable. But it doesn't sound right, he is so demanding, the range of choices will naturally shrink, shrinking back and forth, how can it shrink to himself? Especially the second one, "the outside can know the grandson, and the inside can control the miscellaneous hu", the Cao family is the only one who has dealt with the Gongsun family seriously, and he also has the experience of raising Hu in Bingzhou...... Was he specifically recommending me?

Sure enough, Xun You finally revealed the mystery: "Therefore, you think that the only person who can be in charge of this position is Hongfu, and others will not be able to do it." Immediately, several officials echoed - either thinking that what Xun You said was reasonable, or deliberately patting Xun You's ass, or to coax Shi Xun - even Wang Cang also went to bed, and said in a loud voice that Hongfu was indeed more suitable than Wang Yanyun.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, so he looked at Shixun: "Is Hongfu willing to be in this position?" Before Shi Xun could answer, he heard Boss Cao add another sentence: "I am suitable to explore the illness of filial piety, and Yiyun Hongfu can be a herdsman." ”

What, even Guo Jia recommended me? Shi Xun couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this—this wind direction is not quite right. Xun Yu and Guo Jia took the opportunity to speak and deprive themselves of their military rights, and later guarded Shuozhou, and was forced to resign voluntarily because of public opinion in the DPRK and China. Xun Yu is still in Xudu now, and he can't speak for the time being, Xun You's attitude towards himself has always been fair, but why did Guo Fengxiao suddenly change his position and recommend himself to guard Youzhou?

Could there be some conspiracy among them? (To be continued......)
