[Soldier Immortal (Basic Trait "Xiongfeng"): All soldiers under his command will have their overall ability increased by 10%, the effect obtained during training increased by 20%, and the soldier's execution ability will be at least the rank of colonel]

Good characteristic.

Xu Zhen has led the troops for so long, in fact, the characteristic of Xiongfeng has already begun to accumulate, and now he has just completed this limited-time task and finally broke through.

"Now, leading troops to fight again, it is several levels stronger than it was at the beginning."

Xu Zhen himself can feel things beyond the data, and improving these abilities is reflected in the admiration of the soldiers.

Of course, this is all because Xu Zhen is there, and when he is in command, he can affect people's hearts even more.

This characteristic, and the style that Xu Zhen shows in the army now, are rising together.

"Comfortable, Dian Wei!"

Xu Zhen turned over and got up, and suddenly became interested, and after walking out of the Chinese army's tent quickly, he called Dian Wei.

Immediately ordered to assemble all the soldiers and horses, but all of them entered the new field.

At this moment, as soon as Cao Ren entered the city, he immediately sent troops to search for the houses everywhere throughout the process, and in less than an hour, he found the forage and fire oil all over the city.

All of them are carefully arranged, and you can shoot fire arrows into the city from outside the city, and you will definitely be able to ignite them, because there is enough oil and forage, and the wind of these days is not directional, so I don't know how to blow.

Cao Ren immediately sweated profusely at this discovery, and when he and Xu Huang went to a private house to watch it with their own eyes, they were greatly moved.

"Bowen really ...... We underestimated Liu Bei's plan, if he really rushed into the city, so that the fire could burn, I was afraid that how many people would be damaged inside, these arrangements were a continuous fire snake, which could make the entire Xinye in a sea of fire in a short time. ”

"If you can't escape, you'll definitely be trapped inside."

"Not bad!"

Xu Huang looked around, when he opened a certain house, his nose was filled with a rather irritating smell of fire oil, and the slightest spark would ignite the house.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, I am afraid that I would not really be able to enter the city.

"The general has lost now."

"Lose, convince ......"

Cao Ren glanced around again, taking in these sophisticated layouts, but he couldn't help but admire Xu Zhen even more in his heart.

You may be able to say that he only understands Liu Bei's use of soldiers, and not all the art of war can be fully understood.

But even so, in this troubled world, being able to understand both Yuan and Liu Bei so well and have insight into opportunities is enough for him to occupy the forefront of the world.

Of course, this merit could not be taken away from him.

According to the previous agreement, Xu Zhen only needs to make the first contribution.

Cao Ren's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his face turned slightly red.

He knew it was not good, but he had to take credit.

First, it was he who had indeed worked hard and led the army south.

Second, Xu Zhen can no longer ask for such a great feat, otherwise it will be difficult to give him the land of Sanzhou? How terrible it would be.

Sanzhou, at least five million people, under Xu Zhen's rule, how many soldiers and horses can become, no one dares to imagine, so it must be occupied, this point, the prime minister will definitely agree.

That night, before Cao Ren sent troops to clean up the entire Xinye Castle, according to the advice of his advisers, he widely distributed notices, clearly stating the order to open a warehouse and release grain, and treat the people with benevolence and righteousness.

And Liu Bei was ready to burn the city, fortunately, the rain was widely publicized to the scribes and people in the territory, and both the military and the people could get the news.

In less than three days, it spread all over Jingzhou.

At the same time, Cao Ren's letter of persuasion was sent to Xiangyang, and in place of Cao Cao, he was willing to fight for the title of Xu Du for him, and promised the civil and military officials who did not move Liu Cong's lineage, so that they could keep their family business and continue to be the state pastor without experiencing war.

The officials and generals of the Cai family are still in their original positions, and Cai Mao, Cai and the two can get knighthoods, and Mrs. Cai can also get the throne under the edict, and Liu Cong's future is limitless.

After discussing with Kuai Yue, Cai Mao readily agreed, led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao, and sent the surrender letter to Nanyang Xinye.

On that day, Cao Cao had just entered the new wilderness, and at this time there were already people walking around the streets.

He dismounted and left, because the new no castle is not big, so from the outside of the city to the inner city house, in fact, the road is not too far.

Now there is nothing to do, and it just happens that he can have leisure to dissipate, so he and his civil and military henchmen walked all the way, Xu Zhen was of course called to accompany him, yawning and following him, looking bored but not daring to be disrespectful.

"Bowen, where did these people come from?"

"Well......" Xu Zhen thought for a while and said: "It should be, after the news of the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain spread, many of the displaced people who came, and many of them were Brother Zixiao, who released the news that Liu Bei was going to burn Xinye and Cao Jun came to extinguish it, so he abandoned Liu Bei and returned." ”

"After this rumor spread, it can be regarded as dispelling the idea of many people following Liu Bei, and these people themselves are blindly following, not everyone is willing to follow him with all their hearts."

Xu Zhen's words were lazy, but they also made sense, 200,000 people may not have seen Liu Bei, but they were just coerced.

"Well, most of the people decided to move with him, and the rest of the small people naturally didn't dare to stay, for fear that Cao Jun would not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and he would start killing people when he entered the city, and now it seems that my Cao Cao is still very benevolent! Ha ha! After Cao Cao heard this, he laughed dryly.

Since listening to Xu Zhen's words and insisting on benevolence and righteousness in the affairs of Xuzhou, he has been having a reputation for being wise and wise all these years.

This was something that I didn't dare to think about back then.

Cao Cao thought that the scholars had abandoned him, so he did everything to ruin his reputation abroad, and designated him as a pickled background, reckless and careless of human life.

As everyone knows, over the years, the most careless people are the people of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is the head of the scholar family, which is also ironic.

On the contrary, it is the Cao family, if there is no Cao Cao, how can there be more than 10 million people living and working in peace and contentment? The Han Dynasty has long been sparsely populated, reduced to fish and meat, and trampled on by the rest of the race.

If the Yuan family wins, I don't know how many people will be reduced to slavery, and they can't find out their origins if they want to, so they can only melt the loess and be buried indiscriminately when they die.

"The merits of the Southern Expedition are all due to the concerted efforts of all of you Wenhui Wuchang, and today we should talk about the meritorious deeds, especially the internal strategies of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Bowen is superb......"

Cao Cao sighed in public, which made many people fall into silence, what Xu Zhen did to Xiangyang, they are all obvious to all, one link after another, separating Liu Bei and Liu Biao, and adding Cai Mao, a powerful relative, in the middle, let the situation in Jingzhou fall into the net step by step.

At this moment, apart from saying a word of envy, saying anything else seems to be the merit of someone with a sour eye.

Xu Zhen is really a person of God's help, his wisdom is unparalleled, and even enough to make people forget his martial arts and commanding ability, he can no longer be regarded as an ordinary person.

However, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xu Zhen suddenly raised his hand and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, the lord made a mistake, and the plan was not my doing." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, saw Xu Zhen smiling and smiling easily, so he asked suspiciously: "It's not you, who is that?" ”

"General Cao Ren," Xu Zhen smiled, and said firmly: "I only have the merit of Baihe, Funiu Mountain, and Hidden Mountain to sweep the enemy's strongholds, and Bowangpo has insight into Liu Bei's fire strategy, and since then, the merits have all been laid down by Brother Zixiao's own strategy, which are interlocking." ”

"Oh."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren unexpectedly.

Many people also looked at the former general who was sneering not far away.

There was a moment of silence.

Brag.

Everyone knows in their hearts that this is Xu Zhen being modest again, the follow-up strategy is so beautiful, treacherous people play tricks, saying that Jia Xu may be believed.

But if it is Cao Ren, I don't believe it.

General Cao Ren is extremely talented, but not in this regard.

He is good at leading the army to defend the city, and then counterattacking, and is extremely good at killing the enemy's will to march, and then counterattacking and defeating people in one fell swoop, and then chasing a hundred miles and killing.

It is because many enemies know his military habits, but they can't break Cao Ren's defense, so they can only drink defeat, which is what he is good at.

We've all been working together for years, so you can't understand it.

So the strategists and generals present were even more sour.

Why don't you give it to me!

I want it too! I can also call Berwen!

It's okay to ride a car with an honorific title.

What sour!

Jealousy, made me unrecognizable.

Cao Ren even felt a little unkind gaze, as if he was sneering, as if he was mocking, most of them were suspicions.

Just looking at Cao Chun's eyes, I knew that he didn't believe half a word.

"Zixiao, is it your strategy?"

Coincidentally, Cao Cao also asked at this time.

made Cao Ren choke in public.

Can you go home?!

There are so many people here!

If I say it, my face will turn to a red apple!

Cao Ren's eyes flickered a few times, and he hesitated and didn't dare to respond immediately, and was stunned for a while.

"Isn't it?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately looked at him and urged unhappily.

"Yes," Cao Ren smacked his lips, and subconsciously lowered his head after speaking.

Then he laughed again, "Of course it is, but ...... It's not as divine as Bowen said, and the later strategy is actually mentioned by Bowen, otherwise I can't think of it. ”

"Not bad."

Xu Zhen nodded and smiled dumbly.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ren was embarrassed to accept it.

"Okay," Cao Cao suddenly approved, "I also often get Bowen's advice, so that I can think of many clever plans, Zixiao can have such ability, but if he really has the talent of a general, the land of Jingzhou is not trivial, but it is an important land in the south, the land is large and rich, and the products are abundant." ”

"The north and the south are accessible, the water and land are passable, and the north and the south can be traded, which is an important way to defend, and the soldiers must fight for the place, and now Cai Mao will take Jingzhou, and it will be attributed to me, Zixiao's contribution is indispensable, Bowen is the first merit, but Zixiao should be the first merit, and no one can grab it."

"Not bad."

"The general is mighty, the southern expedition to Jingzhou, the soldiers are not more than 10,000 people, but the land of the seven counties can be surrendered, and countless Jingzhou officials are admired."

"Yes, most of the millions of people in Jingzhou have returned to the Han Dynasty because of the general, and the generals will prosper in the future, and the general's exploits can be called a great cause."

"After years of hard work, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, this achievement can make the general famous in the north and south of the country."

Several strategists and generals, I don't know whether they are sincere or touted, there are always people who come out to discuss lively occasions, which makes people laugh and discuss.

Since ancient times, there have never been such people, and there must always be such people, and when they get together, they will not be so-for-tat.

Xu Zhen clenched his fists at this moment and said: "There is something below, I want to ask the lord for permission." ”

"Well, you say." Cao Cao's smile was put away, and he was even a little shocked in his heart, Xu Bowen actually had something to ask?

He's never opened his mouth all these years.

"Jizhou Mu, I want to step down."

Cao Cao: "......"

Cao Ren: "......"

Guo Jia: "??? ”

"Why?!"

Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia stepped over first, approached Xu Zhen and asked, he didn't care about the eyes of others, he was shocked at this moment.

Xu Bowen, don't play cards according to the routine, I just put down more than a dozen henchmen in Jizhou! These people are all masters trained by yourself.

You don't want the whole Jizhou directly, and if you don't accept it, you won't accept it, is it so capricious!?

Did you drink too much or didn't drink today?

You can say this kind of thing, how do you sleep at night at your age?!

"Why?" Cao Cao asked with a straight face, not happy at all now.

When the public resigned, and Jizhou had entered the right path and become the pillar of many states and counties, after farming was rich, business roads would extend in all directions, and they would all go out from Jizhou.

The reason why Jizhou is so prosperous is that the most fundamental thing is Xu Zhen's private industry, Jizhou commercial goods.

It is also his Tiangong Academy, and now the Tiangong Academy, which has more than 1,000 craftsmen in it, and each craftsman also has apprentices and miscellaneous servants under his command.

These people all followed Xu Zhen's "gathering the strengths of a hundred schools" to benefit from the policy, which allowed Jizhou to once again realize the flourishing industry of a hundred flowers.

Even the doctrine is allowed to exist, although it only exists in the private court, it is still Confucianism alone.

These are all the subtle achievements of Xu Zhen and cannot be replaced.

"The land of Jizhou is already prosperous, and now I want to go to the border, mainly to merge with the state and Youzhou," Xu Zhen glanced at everyone, with a smile on his face, and did not have much anger, "Yes, the Youzhou will be governed and prosperous, and the support for the merger of the state, and then the land of the two states will be raised to prevent Yongliang and the two places." ”

"There is also a reluctant request here, after I want to capture Liangzhou in the future, I will serve as the pastor of Liangzhou, and change the title fief to the realm of Liangzhou, and defend the border of the main duke."

"Haha!"

Cao Cao laughed dryly, glanced at the many clan generals around him, and the sharp edge in his eyes was fully revealed, "Ha...... Alas......"

After laughing, he let out a long sigh, looked up after a moment of silence and said earnestly to Xu Zhen: "For whom?" ”

"Lord Lord."

"For whom?"

Cao Cao asked again seriously, without hesitation, as if he wanted to keep asking.

"For the big man."

"Okay, I have a heart."

Cao Cao nodded, and looked at Xu Zhen deeply, and there was a lot of reluctance in these eyes, "You are actually going to the border......

"But, Cao Zixiao forced you to say that?"

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, cold sweat instantly covered his back, he felt his scalp tingle, and the corners of his mouth were trembling, I really didn't force it!!

"Of course not, Jizhou Mu is indeed rich, but how can this place be exclusive, now it is governed, and hundreds of officials with good conduct can be good to guard, it is not easy, whoever the lord sends to go now, can calm the people's hearts, and produce countless money and grain year after year."

Call...... Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now afraid that Xu Zhen will say "yes", then he may be disarmed and returned to the field on the spot today.

"Well, that's reasonable," Cao Cao lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the sky and said to Xu Zhen, "You're leaving now, aren't you?" ”
