Cao Cao was considering whether to give Qin Feng an official position and title to calm his mind and stabilize the situation in Runan.

At this time, a small official came to report to Cheng Yu to ask to see him, and Cao Cao asked the little official to lead Cheng Yu in.

"Prime Minister, there is news in Jiangdong, Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin surrendered, Jiangdong is all owned by the Sun family, and Zhang Hong presents good news to the imperial court!" Cheng Yu reported.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and then sighed: "The lion is really brave!" ”

"Prime Minister, there is one more thing, report it carefully, Runan Qin Feng has 20,000 soldiers and horses today, practicing day and night, I am afraid that his ambition is not small, and I hope that the Prime Minister will take precautions as soon as possible!"

Cao Cao was shocked, "The army was waiting that day, but now it has become a climate, is it really the time and fate?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Runan Taishou Cai Yang was ordered to go to the conquest, but suffered a heavy defeat, and now he has fled to Yang'an Commander Li Tong, although most of the city in Runan is still under the imperial court, but there is no force to stop, Qin Fengruo led the army north to Xudu, there is no barrier south of Xudu!" ”

Cao Cao didn't believe that Qin Feng sent troops to Xu Du, Xu Du still had 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of them were elite divisions, and there were 5,000 elite soldiers under Li Tong, the commander of Yang'an, Qin Feng wanted to attack Xu Du must first solve Li Tong's 5,000 people, if Qin Feng didn't care about Li Tong's 5,000 people and went north to Xudu, then Li Tong's 5,000 people could cut off his grain at any time and stab him in the back.

But with Xu Du's current strength, he can't divide his troops to fight Qin Feng.

Cao Cao thought of Zhang Xiu's 20,000 horses at this time, and considered whether to order Zhang Xiu to lead the army to conquer Qin Feng, but after thinking about it, he still gave up this plan, and now the situation in Hebei is not favorable to him, if Zhang Xiu's 20,000 horses join, it can increase the chance of victory, as for Qin Feng······ For the time being, it is mainly to appease, and there is no need to make extraneous branches.

In mid-April, the imperial court envoy arrived in Xincai and read out the emperor's will to Qin Feng and his party, appointing Qin Feng as the commander of Xincai, and sealing the title of General Yangwei and Marquis of Yide Ting.

Qin Feng accepted the will with a smile, pretending to keep the envoy for a few more days, how dare the envoy stay, and immediately resigned and returned to Xu Capital to resume his life.

After sending away the imperial envoys, Qin Feng was ready to set up a few tables for the officials and military attaches to celebrate, finally getting rid of the identity of a thief, and making the guys who followed him happy.

At this time, a small official in charge of Zhao Yan came over to report: "Captain Qiyu, Zhao Yan wants to see the general!" ”

"Oh?" Qin Feng finally remembered this county order who was under house arrest, and thought in his heart that Zhao Yan must have heard the news that the imperial court had canonized him.

"Bring him to me!"

"No!"

After a while, the little official led Zhao Yan to come.

"The lower officer has seen the general!"

In terms of official position, Zhao Yan's official position is indeed lower than Qin Feng's, and it is also appropriate to claim to be a lower official.

Qin Feng asked, "I don't know if Zhao County Ling has anything to see me?" ”

Zhao Yan arched his hand and said: "I heard that the general has been canonized by the imperial court, which is also considered to be the official who is fortunate not to be dishonored, and to achieve what the general wants, you and I are now a family!" The days of the lower officials coming at this time are not short, and the yazhong must have accumulated a lot of official duties, and please let the general go back! ”

Qin Feng didn't plan to let Zhao Yan go back, Zhao Yan is a talent, maybe he is not the top in terms of intelligence, but this person's political talent can be seen through the promotion process of his official position in history, this guy is definitely promoted step by step from the grassroots level, and finally the official is Sikong, the elder of the four dynasties of the Wei State!

"Hahaha, why should Zhao County Order go back in a hurry? You go back to the museum to rest first, and wait for me to think about it! ”

Zhao Yan suddenly felt bad, what was Qin Feng going to do when he detained him?

In the afternoon, Qin Feng invited Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others to discuss Zhao Yan's affairs.

"Two gentlemen, how is Zhao Yanqi?"

Yan Xiang said: "This person is young, quite strategic, and good at governing the place, I heard that Langling County is governed by him so that the people's homes do not close the door day and night, the road is not forgotten, everyone is polite, respect the old and love the young!" ”

Damn, so exaggerated?

Qin Feng slandered and asked for the opinions of the two: "If I force Zhao Yan to stay and let him serve under my command, I don't know what the two gentlemen think?" ”

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, how can they still operate like this if they want to use talents?

"Lord, Zhao Yan is indeed a talent, but the lord does this, I am afraid that the melon is not sweet, even if the lord forcibly leaves it by force, he will not do things with his heart!"

Qin Feng said: "Won't you know if you give it a try?" ”

The next day, Qin Feng sent someone to bring Zhao Yan.

"General, do you want to put down the official and return to Langling?" Zhao Yan asked.

Qin Feng's face was like a grandmother's face, "I heard that Langling County was governed by Zhao County's order, and the door was not closed, and the road was not forgotten, Langling County was already so good, presumably it was not governed by Zhao County's order, why don't you ask Zhao County's order to stay in Xincai, serve as Xincai County's order, and govern Xincai for me?" As for Langling's side, when I go to the court, please choose another meritocracy! ”

Zhao Yan's face changed, and his mouth opened wide in shock, "General, general, how can you be like this?" ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Zhao County's order doesn't have to be like this, where is being an official or not being an official?" If you can govern Langling well, it doesn't mean that you can also treat Xincai, if you can govern Xincai well, the door is not closed, and the road is not forgotten, I admire! ”

Zhao Yan suddenly cried with a sad face, "General, why do you want to harm me so much?" ”

Qin Feng pretended to be stunned, "Harm you? How shall I harm you? ”

Zhao Yan's county said that I was an official with you, didn't Cao Cao think that I had taken refuge in you? How can I make a big difference under the rule of the imperial court in the future? But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them, because these words all affected unity, after all, Qin Feng was already a military general in the imperial court, and on the surface, everyone was a colleague.

"Hahaha!" Qin Feng laughed and patted Zhao Yan's shoulder, "Don't worry, how can I harm you?" You work hard, and I will ensure that you will be a supreme minister in the future! ”

Zhao Yan pouted, who wouldn't paint a pie? But you, a small local lieutenant, are you qualified to draw this kind of pie?

Qin Feng also did what he said, and immediately ordered his mansion to be moved out of the county government and moved to an empty house in the city, and ordered someone to clean up and arrange it, and still let Xiao Qiao live in the backyard.

After the county government vacated it, it was left to Zhao Yan as a place to deal with government affairs.

Zhao Yan didn't want to pay attention to it, but every day a lot of official documents and government affairs piled up, if he didn't pay attention to it, the officials below would come to him every day, so that he couldn't get tired of it, and in the end he couldn't hold on, so he could only tell himself that when he finished dealing with these government affairs, he would sneak away.

"Lieutenant Qiyu, Zhao County Commander has begun to deal with the government affairs of the county government!" Qin Feng arranged to stare at Zhao Yan's little official and take the time to report.

Qin Fengzheng, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others were watching the sergeant drill in the school field, and after hearing the report, he asked, "Oh? How does Zhao County Order handle government affairs? ”

The little official said: "Handy, clean and neat!" ”

Qin Feng, Yang Hong and the others looked at each other and smiled.

Yang Hong bowed to Qin Feng, "Congratulations to the lord for winning a talent!" ”
