"After this appointment, we can basically go back."

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the local people are still reluctant, now that the preferential policy has been implemented, the policy of Tuntian in the spring of next year has almost been decided.

The locally elected officials appointed and dismissed in various places are all people with excellent reputations and public opinion.

There will be no cool officials, not to mention, Xu Zhen also left soldiers and horses in Jiujiang, and he can check the conduct of officials at any time.

"Okay, this is the end of this time, ......"

Cao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, I was a little reluctant.

For the first time in these years, almost all of my energy has been spent on benefiting the people.

It's not just compassion in the heart.

It's about putting it into action.

I am very tired, but my heart is very rich, especially when I am sincerely praised and asked for governance by the people.

That feeling is not good with outsiders either.

The joy in my heart is truly emotional.

"Brother, it's been a hard trip."

"Haha," Xu Zhentai smiled, "Of course it's not bitter." ”

"However, since the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is lived, since my camp is in Jiujiang, I also want to move the mansion to Jiujiang, and when I become an adult in the future, I am afraid that I will also stay away from Xudu and live in Jiujiang, I wonder if the main guild will miss it?"

"It should be, but my father will respect my brother," Cao Ang smiled, and then said, "Moreover, my father's intention seems to be that he intends to marry Cao Ning and Cao Xian to his brother." ”

Cao Ang wanted to tell Xu Zhen about these things a long time ago and make him a little happy, but he didn't expect that he would not have much time to rest until now.

It was only now that I found an opportunity to tell me this.

However, Xu Zhen's face was stunned for a moment, as if everyone was a little sluggish, "Really? ”

"This, this...... The lord is like this, is he a little impatient? ”

Cao Ang immediately smiled bitterly, "This is not what my brother wanted, I have been asking for this matter in lieu of a reward?" ”

"However, after having Jie'er, there is really no need for two younger sisters, and Brother Bowen should also understand that after marrying Cao Jie, he will be half of the Cao family, and Weng Weng will also treat his brother as his own and treat him sincerely."

"Brother, can you still find someone in the family?"

"No," Xu Zhen immediately shook his head, "I have no relatives in this world for a long time, and the closest ones are your family." ”

It's really good to say this, Cao Cao has always been very fond of him, although sometimes he often makes wayward demands.

But as long as Xu Zhen insists on being shameless, basically Cao Cao will not be too demanding.

In the past few years, he has gotten along with Cao Ang, and he has gradually become familiar with him, and then he has become like a brother.

Although the relationship between the two is not nothing to talk about, they will not have the heart of backstabbing each other, and they are also teachers and friends.

It's kind of family.

Of course, Xu Zhen was just good to them, and only Cao Chun, Cao Ren and Xiahou had some friendship with the rest of the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan.

Xu Zhen's camp was given by Cao Ren and came in handy, and it has become a solid barrier to this day.

Whether it is bow and arrow, horsemanship, hand-to-hand combat, or military array drills, these soldiers and horses have extremely comprehensive and strong qualities.

Even if it competes with the tiger and leopard, it is not inferior.

It can be said that although Xu Zhen has earned everything now by his own efforts, it is inseparable from Cao Cao's whole family treating him as family.

"Let's go back first."

Xu Zhen also has a headache, do you want to form a solar term lady if she marries too much? You don't have to!!

The road to immortality is long, and women will only affect the speed of my brushing!

That's enough!

……

Meanwhile.

Outside of Yi Jing, Gongsun Chan was close to being surrounded by 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Of course, he didn't know any news from the outside world, but he only knew that he was now at the end of his rope, and he had entered the stage where he could only defend to the death.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, is a majestic figure, walking above the battle day and night, and besieging his fierce generals with excellent command.

In order to break through Gongsun Zhan's Yijing Pavilion before the winter of this year, before the ice and snow, break through its fortress, set foot on the hoarding place of thieves and soldiers in Youzhou, and completely defeat Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin army.

As a result, all the military and civilian officials in the four counties of Youzhou were attached to it with their prestige.

In the past few months, the power of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses has made Gongsun Chan frightened, defeated and retreated, and many generals under his command have been continuously beheaded.

By this year, it is already a sure defeat.

Yuan Shao ordered at this moment that all the soldiers and horses approached Yi Jing's location, started digging from the ground, and used all means to enter Yi Jing.

There is a high pavilion in Yijing, which is a high-rise building built by Gongsun Zhan, he stationed hundreds of archers outside the building, and the wall under it is hundreds of zhang in circumference, and the whole Yijing is actually a huge city.

But from the news heard by the descendants, it can be seen that Gongsun Zhan is now drunk and golden, playing with many wives and concubines in the family, ignoring the military, and just waiting for Yuan Jun to retreat.

In such a situation, Yuan Shao of course understood that Gongsun Zhan's mind had been completely extinguished, and the white horse general, who had been famous outside the Saiwai for ten years and terrified the horseback aliens, had been beaten by himself and had no way out.

Only the hearts of the people are lost, and they die!

Because of this, his offensive became more fierce, especially after getting the Shouchun War, Yuan Shao took Yi Jing without reservation.

Gongsun Zhan gradually lost his support, and was pulled out of the high-rise building by his soldiers, ready to fight to the death, and then rushed out with thousands of horsemen, and let his son lead Baima Yicong to contact the Montenegrin army and assemble to attack Yuan Shao once.

For the last battle.

At this time, Yuan Shao naturally expected this move, and deployed troops to meet him, and it was still unknown what the final victory or defeat of the two sides would be......

……

End of October.

Xu Zhen led the light cavalry guards, as well as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and other generals, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and other ministers returned to Xudu.

Accept the reward of the Son of Heaven.

Above the court.

After Xu Zhen came back, Cao Cao met the Son of Heaven and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds.

I have already reported the matter of getting rid of the thief in this Shouchun.

Now that Xu Zhen and Cao Ang have arrived, it just happens to be the most important reward to be completed before the end of the year.

Before the court, the civil and military officials are gathering to enter, and in front of the main hall, there are small attendants serving the officials to take off their boots.

Those who come behind will naturally walk slowly.

At this time, Xu Zhen happened to enter the stairs in front of the main hall accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

It also happens that behind them is Dong Chengguo.

"Hehehe, the prestige of the prince in Yangzhou, Xu Du has heard it, it is really admirable."

Dong Cheng stopped Xu Zhen with a pointed remark, and his words were with a gun and a stick, saying that after Xu Zhen beat him last time, he stayed away from the court to prevent being assassinated.

Fleeing from Xudu, but showing his might elsewhere, is somewhat sour.

Moreover, Cao Ang is behind Xu Zhen, and he is really marching and fighting, and it is not certain who is the person who gives advice.

Dong Cheng still can't forget the appearance of Xu Zhen sleeping day and night on the gate tower of the imperial city.

That's the real wine bag and rice bag, every day in office is to sleep, basically the merits are relied on by the fierce generals under the command, these fierce people needless to say, they must have been assigned to him by the Cao family.

It's nothing more than repaying the favor of saving his father back then, so that Xu Zhen can survive.

At this time, Xu Chu glanced back and glared angrily.

When he met Dong Cheng's gaze, Dong Cheng immediately took a step back, and the smile on his face was slightly stiff.

He remembered that this warrior was as famous as Dian Wei, but he was not as reckless as Dian Wei, and he should have been taught by some school.

But he is also afraid of this kind of person, if he is really reckless, I really don't know what he will do.

After some people figure it out, they may be even more ruthless.

"Zhongkang, don't be angry."

Xu Zhen smiled lightly, saluted Dong Cheng, and bowed slightly.

The smile on his face did not change at all, and he said: "Dong Guozhang is said to have made a lot of meritorious deeds, outside the Lujiang River, fifteen thousand parts, and Liu Xun are constantly fighting, day and night." ”

"Hehe," Dong Cheng didn't say anything more, and didn't argue with Xu Zhen, after all, this matter was also a loss of face.

Because he lost to Liu Xun, he was almost scattered, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiu to save him from Wancheng, he would probably lose the first line of Lujiang, and then Xu Zhen had to come to save him from Chenliu.

And everyone knows that Liu Xun, who defeated Dong Cheng, was killed by a cavalry general under Xu Zhen.

Talking about Liu Xun again is also self-inflicted, and there is no need to continue talking.

However, Dong Cheng didn't speak, but it made Xu Zhen feel a little abnormal.

For some reason, he seems to have a spring breeze on his face today.

Dong Cheng, is there anything good?

At this moment, Guo Jia passed by his side and glanced at Dong Cheng coldly, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and the short and thick beard of his chin stretched, revealing a smiling face.

"General Wei, please go to the main hall first."

"Okay, then I'll go first, Xu Junhou, Guo Lingjun."

After Dong Cheng and the others left, Guo Jia's expression on his face returned to calm, he glanced at Xu Zhen, and said softly: "We spent nine months in the land of Shouchun. ”

"During this period of time, how can the rear doctor have no arrangement."

"But it's all going to dig deeper."

Xu Zhen leaned back a little, "Brother Fengxiao, how much did you drink last night?" The taste is really big. ”

"Tsk, gibberish." Guo Jia looked at Xu Zhen's words with disgust, and walked forward directly with his hands behind his back, without saying more.

I don't know if Xu Zhen listened or didn't listen.

In short, based on the news that Guo Jia knows now, Dong Cheng and the others must have taken advantage of this time to reach some kind of plan.

It's just not working yet.

It takes some time for a strategy to become effective.

And it takes an opportunity to be inspired.

……

Above the main hall.

Xu Zhen stood in the middle as usual, standing with Wenchen, with Guo Jia behind him and Cao Ang beside him.

The guards and others were outside the main hall.

Everyone was bowing down to listen, and the Son of Heaven was reading aloud the commendation book written by Shang Shutai, and it was estimated that there was still a long way to go.

It is that officials should stick to sincerity and bow down to express awe and fear, only Xu Zhen has been yawning.

He had the feeling of going to school and gathering to raise the flag.

"It turns out that this sense of ritual has existed since ancient times."

I can't sleep enough at every morning meeting.

Xu Zhen's appearance made Guo Jia and Cao Ang look uncomfortable.

As for the court, just bear with it...... If you don't share the worries of the people, will you really feel bad?

Dong Cheng, who was standing in front, could also hear Xu Zhen's yawn, and couldn't stop shaking his head and sneering.

It is worthy of a wine bag and a rice bag, and the court can be so lax, how can the wind be good in the future?

"With all the ministers, Kuang Dahan's righteousness, the danger of chaos, the stability of the rebellion in Jiujiang, and the beheading of the Yuan traitors, I am very relieved! , the great Sikong Cao Cao, to reward the three armies, reward the heroes, and reward the meritorious deeds. ”

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao was on the side of the Son of Heaven, so he was able to sit on the throne and listen to the government, and he was not named.

Cao Cao took out the scroll and listed them one by one, listing all the civil and military achievements made in this war.

was rewarded, Xu Zhen naturally led Jiujiang Taishou and was named the Marquis of Shucheng.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were all awarded the title of Pavilion Marquis, and the rest of the civil and military forces also had their own rewards and obtained this official position.

Cao Cao even successfully set up a school office to supervise the wisdom of hundreds of officials and officials, and to check the integrity of the school captains of various ministries.

Looking at the clarity of the famous people in the capital, looking for people with lofty ideals is a guest.

The Son of Heaven and the scholars and doctors did not say anything, and did not dare to refute it.

After all, after Cao Cao now got Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, his troops expanded again, and there were several more garrisons, while Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, one-thirds of which were lost on the battlefield.

The guards did not dare to send any more, once there was a change, Zhang Xiu came from Wancheng, and Cao Chun went from Anyi, he could attack back and forth, and surrender all his soldiers and horses in one night.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven once again asked Cao Cao to enter the position of prime minister, monopolize the military and political affairs, and dominate the world's money and food.

But Cao Cao refused again, still held the position of the official, did not make changes, and accepted the title of the Son of Heaven as the county marquis.

I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will need to ask for the position of prime minister twice, and he will not accept it until the hundred officials echo it.

After determining the day of worshipping the heavens and telling the ancestors, and establishing the officials responsible for everything, they retreated and dispersed, leaving a few people here.

Cao Cao immediately introduced and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace, who was originally a foreign minister, but this time he made a great contribution to the removal of thieves, so he came to see the Son of Heaven." ”

"This person is a relative of the Han family, and it is said that he is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing, after King Jing of Zhongshan, and after the emperor."

"Oh? Then, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing, after King Jing, isn't it...... It's mine...... Uncle Huang?! ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had heard something incredible, "I, there is still an imperial uncle who is a foreign minister outside?" Come on in! ”

"Okay, Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao shouted loudly, and immediately a yellow gate went out to inform Liu Bei to see him.

Finished!

Xu Zhen was under the main hall, and his eyes suddenly widened on the left in the middle section, and he suddenly looked at Guo Jia on the left.

Immediately, he glanced at him and said softly: "It's not good, their plan must be here!" ”

Guo Jia frowned suddenly, and then didn't understand what Xu Zhen meant, but just glanced at him suspiciously, "Really? ”

"Yes, is there a way to stop it?"

Guo Jia shook his head, "No." ”

The two communicated for a short time, and did not make any achievements, at this moment Liu Bei had a serious face, wearing a crown and hat, and his clothes were extremely solemn, all the way to bow his head and lean over, breaking into the step.

Before the Son of Heaven drove, he immediately knelt down with his legs, prostrate on the ground, and saw him with a great salute.

"Minister, Liu Bei, knock on the Son of Heaven!"

"Aiqing, please get up."

Liu Xie peeked at Cao Cao and found that he was not paying attention to him, and his expression was calm, and then he was a little relieved, and asked Liu Bei: "Aiqing, is you a descendant of the Han Queen?" Which of my clansmen are you? ”

"Weichen Liu Bei is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, his family settled in Zhuozhou."

"Oh, then I want to see the genealogy...... Take it, take the genealogy and look at it! Liu Xie glanced at the right side, and at this moment, the attendants around him immediately sent someone to get the family tree.

Until this moment, Cao Cao felt that something was wrong.

I'm at home, and it's so quiet. We will try to gradually step into the realm of 20,000 a day from today!
