"Lone has repeatedly endured it, and treated it with all kinds of courtesy, but now in exchange for revenge, the erector bullied me too much!"

In the lobby of Yecheng Prefecture, Cao Cao angrily rushed to the crown, and casually dropped the book on the desk to the ground, and the ink and cinnabar flew out sideways, splashing all over his body. om But he didn't notice it, he still made a few "bangs" of the case, his face was flushed, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to want to choose someone to devour, extremely cold and murderous.

In a fit of rage, Cao Cao stood on the upper steps, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly, but a cruel word that had reached his lips was swallowed back by him.

Not only that, he was angry like this, but he still took care of his feelings and did not scold him by name in public.

At this time, dozens of civil and military generals gathered in the hall, except for a few Jizhou civil and military generals, all of them were Cao Cao's cronies. The so-called cronies were the military generals who followed Cao Cao when he occupied Yanzhou. The military generals under the original Yuan Shao's account are not among them.

Seeing Cao Cao's thunder, everyone in the hall stood up one after another, one by one, silent, for fear of affecting the pond fish and causing an unwarranted disaster.

At this moment, Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu came out of the crowd, his eyes swept over Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and others, and then waved his hand to signal the crowd to disperse.

Seeing Xun Yuqiang coming forward, all the civil and military officers bowed down one after another to salute, and hurriedly left the lobby. This scene was born in front of Cao Cao's eyes, but he turned a blind eye to it, and did not say anything from beginning to end, looking up at the beam in the center of the lobby with an iron face, and his anger did not subside.

Seeing the officials leave, it was Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Chen Qun and Liu Ye who remained in the hall. This is the tacit understanding they have been together for many years. There is no need to say much to each other, just a glance is enough.

And the reason why Xun Yu withdrew from the civil and military forces. Leaving only Cao Cao's henchmen, it was he who understood Cao Cao's intentions for the first time. Cao Cao was furious and wanted to speak again. Obviously, there are scruples, and it is inconvenient to make it public, after all, there are many old ministers of the Yuan family among the people in the hall, and there are many people, and it is inevitable that it will be leaked out. Hearing Cao Cao's concerns, Xun Yu immediately knew what to do, which was the tacit understanding he had formed after following Cao Cao for many years, and it was also a reflection of his status. In this regard, Cao Cao once praised Xun Yu as "the lonely son's room". The implication is that Xun Yu is not only resourceful and skilled in government affairs, but also has a very tacit understanding with him, understands each other, and complements each other.

After a moment of silence, the anger on Cao Cao's face gradually subsided, and when he turned around and was about to sit down, he saw that the desk was full of ink stains, and even the sleeves and hem of his clothes were stained with ink stains. Suddenly, he frowned slightly, looked coldly at the attendants on both sides of the hall, and saw that they were all trembling with fright. With his head down, no one dared to step forward to wipe the case.

Cao Cao is too powerful, coupled with his suspicious and fickle personality, and he is moody. Even in his sleep, he could swing his sword and kill people, so that the maids and attendants who served him were afraid of him and did not dare to approach him in peacetime. Not least when he was furious. Therefore, the four attendants who had been following him for a long time on both sides of the hall clearly saw the books and ink on the desk spilled on the ground. But he didn't dare to step forward and wipe it clean.

Walking slowly to the bottom of the hall, Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for Xun Yu and the six to sit down. After taking a deep breath and calming down, he sat down on his right side and said in a deep voice: "I have only made a secret report, in the past few days, more than 20 generals and officials from various states and counties have met with the second son of the Yuan family in private, and their deeds are sneaky and very suspicious. Wen Ruoke has ever heard of this? People who don't know the inside story will definitely think that this is a tone of questioning, and guess whether Xun Yu is also involved, which makes Cao Cao suspicious of him.

But that's not the case. On the contrary, Cao Cao asked directly without concealment, which showed his high trust in Xun Yu, and those who were close to him did not need to hide it, and asked directly if there was anything.

Xun Yu nodded lightly as usual, and said respectfully: "It is true that as the lord said, Weichen has also heard of this. However, the second son of the Yuan family has no real power in his hands, at best, they are just two rich men, even if they are unwilling, they have not done much, so there is nothing to worry about. Therefore, after hearing this, Weichen laughed and ignored it. It's just that I never thought that there would be generals in the army involved, so we must be extra careful and beware of extraneous branches and recurrent incidents. ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and anger appeared on his face again, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes, as if he was very distressed and worried.

Indeed, this incident once again sounded the alarm bell for Cao Cao, which made him frightened, and he couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation and anger.

For more than a year, he devoted himself to consolidating his rule, reorganizing the Jizhou army, restoring the people's livelihood, rectifying the rule of officials, accumulating prestige, and establishing prestige, in order to establish prestige in the eyes of the people of Jizhou as soon as possible, truly replace Yuan Shao, and become the well-deserved lord of Jizhou. However, it was not as smooth as expected.

The reorganization of the army is not a big problem, and within half a month, the 300,000 Jizhou troops can be gathered, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be eliminated, and the able-bodied sergeants will be left, and the initial reorganization. But then there were problems, and there were serious differences on the selection of generals, the reappointment of generals, and the generals, and the contradictions were so great that they could hardly be reconciled.

The prominent problem is the official title. On this issue, not only did the military have differences and conflicts of interest, but even the state and county officials in Jizhou and Qingzhou also complained about Cao Cao, and they talked about it behind their backs. There is only one reason, Yuan Shao was the emperor during his lifetime, and he ruled the world, in order to hold Jizhou and Qingzhou, and strengthen the determination of the military under his command to resist the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao made a big deal of rewards, added officials and entered the knighthood, and there were nearly 20 people who were ranked to the three dukes and nine kings, and there were more than 100 civil officials and generals comparable to the three dukes and nine qings. It is no exaggeration to say that in the more than two years that Jizhou was besieged by Tuantuan, Yuan Shao relied on the wishes of the officials to maintain the situation, and there were more than 200 generals who worshiped the generals and marquis, plus the civil and military generals who were more than three princes and nine kings and the official rank was equal to the three princes and nine kings, all of which added up to more than 400 people.

Among them, the army is the most severe. Among the more than 300 generals, there are more than 180 generals with the same rank as Jiuqing, and the remaining 200 are all miscellaneous generals, so that the generals of the Jizhou Army, such as the generals, Zhonglang generals, and school captains, are not generals at all.

According to the statistics compiled during the reorganization process, the 300,000 generals in the Jizhou army with military posts and above accounted for 20 percent of the total number, and there were countless other low-level military ranks. Originally, five people were a team, with a team commander, fifty people as a team, and one positive and one deputy with two team leaders, but there were even two team commanders at the bottom of the Jizhou army, and it was even more excessive when it came to the first level of team rate, with two team rates on the left and right, three deputy team rates, and sixteen sergeants in a team of 50 people were low-level generals in the military. This is still the case at the bottom, not to mention the military positions at the top, the number of generals is unprecedented, and the number is unprecedented.

Not only is the scale of the army's generals huge, but even the ranks of civilian officials are also bloated, and the number of officials is nothing compared to the generals with military ranks. The most annoying thing is that the military generals worship the generals and marquis, after all, it is a troubled time, and the military generals are naturally more popular than civil officials; However, Yuan Shao also rewarded civil officials with titles, and even many children of families and businessmen who did not have real jobs had titles, and the titles were not low, ranging from pavilion marquis and township marquis to liehou, and there were many of them.

When Yuan Shao was alive, these were all paintings, all of which were dead letters, and they could not be implemented at all. After Cao Cao took over Jizhou, these messes left by Yuan Shao rushed at him, forcing the army to be reorganized to the second step before he had to stop temporarily.

According to Cao Cao's heart and temper, there is no need to pay attention to these unwarranted officials, they are just a piece of paper, why bother to take it to heart, directly follow their own ideas, cut through the mess with three times and divide five by two, and completely overturn and start over. But no, Jizhou was picked up for nothing, Yuan Shao's deathbed was handed over, so that Cao Cao could get the huge Jizhou without a single soldier, and got the strong support of the Jizhou family and the gentry of the scholar clan, helping him defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of Xiliang Li Li and win an unprecedented victory.

When Cao Cao was newly acquired in Jizhou, he was overjoyed, so happy that he could wake up with a smile when he slept, and he couldn't help but be happy and complacent. But after he really started to rectify the Jizhou officials and take over the Jizhou army, troubles followed, and they came one after another, one after another, all on his desk, and a letter of edict with Huang Ling's black characters and a cinnabar jade seal rushed towards him like snowflakes.

What to do, admit it or not? To implement or not to execute, do the previous commitments count?

If these edicts are recognized, and the blatant promises he made when he defeated the Western Liang army, then carry them out; After the merger of the Jizhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, all the generals were Jizhou generals, and there were more than ten officials whose official ranks and titles were comparable to his Cao Cao, and there were nearly 100 Jizhou generals whose official ranks were above his subordinate generals.

If Cao Cao didn't admit it and resolutely didn't fulfill his promise, the promise he made on the day he entered the Yecheng Prefecture Pastoral Mansion was all a fart, and he doesn't remember it anymore. But what kind of face does he have to lead Jizhou, how can he convince the seven million people of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and how can he lead an army of 600,000?

And the root of this qiē lies in the fact that Jizhou was not fought down by his troops, but a territory that was picked up by soldiers without blood. I thought it was taking a big advantage, but now I know that there are no good goods when it is cheap, and I will suffer a big loss sooner or later if I am greedy.

No, a lot of things about the three princes and nine kings, the general and the marquis have not been resolved, and Yuan Shao's two precious sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are making waves again, jumping up and down, trying to make a comeback!
