At this time, Gongsun Du was also a vassal state of Liaodong, and he did not surrender, but he did not start a war with Youzhou, but used soldiers and horses to resist foreign invasions.

Gongsun Du guarded this place for a long time, but never joined the dispute in the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao may never have thought that one day he would come to Youzhou to be adjacent to Gongsun Du, but Yuan Shao once killed Gongsun Zhan, so it is impossible for Gongsun Du to conspire with him, but Gongsun Du is very likely to lead troops to attack Yuan Shao.

Once this happens, Yuan Shao will inevitably be attacked on both sides.

But at this time, Xi Yu already knew that it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to survive this winter.

……

After the New Year, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang for the New Year.

Jizhou sent a large number of officials, all of whom were local scholars.

Only in the Jizhou land occupied by Xi Yu, the officials were selected from Xuzhou and supervised by Cao Ang, Xu Jing and Xu Shao.

With such a Confucian reserve, there are more than 300 people in Xiyu who can be appointed, and if other states and counties in Jizhou need it, they can also be directly dispatched over.

But Xi Yu suggested this and was directly rejected.

As a result, these Confucian scholars had no choice but to study Confucianism in the academy while studying the rest of the scholarship.

At the end of the year, in Xuchang City, people are boiling.

People outside the city began to enjoy the lanterns, visit temple fairs, go out with relatives and friends, and the people of the scholars in the inner city, dignitaries and nobles would also let their children go out for a stroll and make friends with other scholars and family members.

Just as it was warm, the layers of snow began to melt slowly, horse-drawn carriages came and went, and wheel marks began to appear on the ground of the avenue, which spread all the way into the city.

This year's recruitment has also begun, and there are a large number of people.

After Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he immediately conscripted Sima Jia, and recruited Sima Fang, Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Sima Kui, Sima Fu and others into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this way, Sima Yi could not avoid Cao Cao, who was now more powerful, and he had to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and serve as a literary scholar.

However, this official position is civilian, and does not hold military power.

He was mainly responsible for writing matters, recording meetings, and parliamentary affairs, but he could only sit in on them and could not participate in the discussions of the meetings, so he did not have much money and his reputation was limited.

At this time, it was the first time that Sima entered Cao Cao's field of vision.

On top of the original monthly review, the monthly review was resumed for the first time, and Cao Cao went to watch it in person, although it was more funny, and the second daughter was already Mrs. Xi Yu at that time, but those people at that time did have the talent to learn from heaven and earth.

One is Yang Xiu, this person almost reversed his move in the plan, if it weren't for the rescue of Xi Yu, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven would have been gone.

The second is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, pacified Yuan Shao in the north, and seized the land of Jizhou, even if Guo Jia is not the first credit, at least it is also a great credit, but because he is currently working under Xi Yu, it is inconvenient for Cao Cao to reward him directly.

The third is Sima Yi, Xu Shao and Xu Jing are very optimistic, this person is one of Sima Bada, with a very high reputation and integrity, but he has never had the opportunity to display his talents.

Today's expedition can be regarded as giving Sima Yi a way out, but it also makes him feel very frightened.

……

On this day, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A carriage from Xuzhou stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xi Yu stepped out of the carriage in a white robe, followed by his sixth wife, Lu Lingqi.

At the same time, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun also accompanied Xi Yu.

These four generals are rare fierce generals in the world, among which Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are peerless famous generals, and they are all generals trained by Xi Yu himself.

Except for these people, Xi Yu did not lead anyone else.

And this time, Lu Lingqi's identity is the guard next to Xi Yu, not the identity of Xi Yu's wife.

Lu Lingqi is the closest guard around Xi Yu at this time, and at night, he rarely slacks, unless he is too tired that night, he sleeps.

At this time, Xi Yu stepped out of the carriage, and then asked Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who had just arrived at the end, "Where is the black and white horse now?" ”

Zhao Yun immediately replied, "It is in the outer city of Xuchang, and it is placed in eighteen post houses. ”

"And, the white horsemen entered the inner city in the form of a caravan." Huang Zhong followed, "Although we don't know their specific whereabouts, each of them has a detailed Xuchang drawing in their hands. ”

"Good."

"Fengxiao, Wenhe, when will these two arrive?"

"The military advisor and Mr. Kong Ming have arrived in Xuchang a day earlier, and they should be in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time."

"That's it, good, let's go."

Xi Yu's face was smiling at this time.

But at this time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's faces were not very good.

This matter has gained momentum since the refusal of Xuzhou scribes to enter Jizhou County as officials.

When Zhao Yun was in Jizhou, he had already encountered something that made him very unhappy.

Xiahoudun, who is now one of the generals of the four towns under Cao Cao, once sent his general Jiang Qi to the camp outside Dongwu City in Qinghe County to receive the territory, but the Qingzhou soldiers under Zhao Yun robbed the army of grain and grass, and even pulled out the soldiers' armor and drove Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses back, and they have not returned it so far.

In this matter, Xiahoudun has been silent, secretly swallowing the bitter water into his stomach, Zhao Yun doesn't know if Xiahoudun will bring up the old matter again.

Zhao Yun has always remembered this matter in his heart, if he meets Xiahoudun tonight, I don't know if there will be a quarrel.

Xi Yu also knew about this matter, but he was more indifferent than Zhao Yun and others, but the people of the clan did have a tendency to make trouble again.

But in Xi Yu's view, these are not to be feared.

Not long after, Xi Yu stood outside the door and slapped the snow on his body, but Xun Yu's voice came from inside the door.

"Fengyi, you're here!"

As soon as the words fell, Xun Yu strode out, and at this moment his face was red and full of smiles.

"Wen Ruo, okay."

When Xi Yu saw Xun Yu, he was also polite and bowed to him.

"Well, okay, Fengyi, everyone is waiting for you, in the afternoon, the old lady still wants to see you, this year's old man's health is very bad, sometimes his mind is not clear enough, and his teeth are about to fall out, and now I can see you, the old lady must be very happy." Xun Yu said very happily.

"I brought him some medicinal materials this time, which are specially prescribed by Mr. Hua Tuo and Mr. Zhongjing, and they have the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan."

With that, Xi Yu walked into the house.

When he came to the courtyard, Xi Yu immediately felt a burst of warmth, and the scenery inside became unusual, very different from the scene outside.

At this time, Xi Yu had a triangular beard on his chin, and his face became more firm and mature, which was completely different from the temperament of the white-faced young man before.

The City of Hearts Mansion is also different from the beginning.

"Squeak!"

As soon as Xun Yu pushed the door open, the sound of literati chanting poems came from inside.

"Fengyi!"

Cao Cao sat on the main seat at this time, and was very happy to see Xi Yu, "Fengyi, you came just in time, Zhicai just recited a poem, which has a deep charm." ”

He sat in the main seat of the main hall and waved his hand at Xi Yu, at least twenty meters away from Xi Yu at this time.

At this moment, the wooden planks in the hall are very luxurious, and the whole body is shining, and Xi Yu stepped on it and walked in slowly, and the place where he passed was immediately quiet.

At this moment, the originally smiling Xi Zhi gradually disappeared with a smile, and only Xu You, Zhong Xuan, Sima Fang, Cheng Yu and other advisers all looked at Xi Yu with great admiration.

After so many years, Xi Zhicai has always been incomprehensible, always thinking that he has been overshadowed by Xi Yu, and he is always pressuring him.

Now that the New Year has long passed, it is a matter of the council, but Xi Zhicai's mood is very complicated.

At this time, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia immediately stood up from their seats and immediately greeted Xi Yu, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were ranked outside the top ten, Jia Xu was at the bottom of the seat, after Xi Yu came in, Jia Xu didn't say hello, just took care of eating by himself.

However, Xi Yu and Jia Xu are used to each other's way of getting along.

"Fengyi."

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu, shouted again, and then pointed to the lower left seat not far away, "Look, if you don't come, there will be no one to accompany Wen Ruo." ”

Xi Yu nodded and took his seat.

Chief, the mastermind.

At this moment, on the opposite side of Xi Yu, the two eyes thought right, it was Cao Ren and Xiahoudun.

Cao Ren was smiling at the moment, but Xiahou was looking very arrogant.

After Xi Yu sat down, Lu Lingqi sat side by side in front of a small table next to him, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not enter the military general's seat, so they had to stand behind Xi Yu.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was quite moved and asked, "Three generals, why don't you go to the seat?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled lightly, "Lord, you are serious, we are just the guards of the adults, and the first duty is of course to protect the safety of the adults." ”

"Hehe, this is really conscientious, but today is a conference on meritorious deeds, if you don't go to the military general's seat, don't you want to be rewarded?" Xiahoudun shook his head and said.

"Hahaha......"

Huang Zhongda laughed for a while, and then said: "I have a thousand households in the city, I have already been rich and noble, I have long been worry-free about food and clothing, and I have to give a lot of rewards!" ”

The Huang family is also a family of eunuchs, but the gate valve is not big, only the father is an official, but there has never been a family of people.

"Hehe, General Huang thinks clearly, but there are too few people like the old general in the world."

"Hahaha......"

Huang Zhong immediately laughed and said, "Naturally, there are not many, but as far as I know, there are sixty thousand!" ”

"Sixty thousand?!"

Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others on the side were also full of shock.

"I have 60,000 Qingzhou soldiers under my hand, and everyone wants credit, so naturally there are 60,000 pills, and these people are all from farming and farming, and they don't have much culture, so they just need to give some rewards, but they don't have a very high-profile appetite."

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately looked at a group of military generals under his command, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then looked at Xi Yu, "Fengyi, waiting for you to come tonight is to finalize the people who have made meritorious contributions in the war in Jizhou." ”

"I here, if there is a text that has made a great merit, I will report to the Son of Heaven and reward him for his merits and deeds in turn."

"Now that you're here, just tell me how much of Xuzhou has made contributions to me." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Xi Yu immediately took out a book from his sleeve, leaned slightly, and said, "Brother, I am one of the people who have contributed to Xuzhou, then I will talk to everyone about it." ”

"Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Huaiyang North, Jizhou East, a total of 21 counties, a total of more than 16 million people, from the county orders from all over the statistics, compiled the list, I put it in the Xuzhou Governance Office, under the care of Xu Jing and Xu Shao brothers."

"This year, 120 officials have been appointed in China, 60 have been promoted, and 130 have been rewarded."

"Thirty generals in the army were promoted, two hundred and sixty people were appointed, the treasury was one million three hundred thousand taels, the treasury was three million two hundred thousand taels, and the rest of the coins were more than six hundred thousand ......."

After that, Xi Yu took out more books and slips that had been prepared long ago, and there were more and more books, but they were all within Huang Zhong's baggage.

This is Zhuge Liang spent three months to write this summary report, which is Xi Yu's request, although he didn't know that Xi Yu would ask for this.

"To this day, there are 300,000 soldiers and 2.2 million stones of grain and grass in the territory under my jurisdiction, including the territory of Qingzhou, where Cheng Yu is located, and there have been no statistics after the autumn harvest this year."

"But now there is grain and grass in all places, 170,000 horses, 400,000 soldiers, and 4,600 ordnance, of which ...... siege equipment."

"Generals, four hundred and ten."

"Generals, thirteen."

"The generals are five."

Parents are proud of their children's participation in the army, after all, there are young people in the family who join the army to reduce taxes, in addition to receiving a reward, and after a period of implementation, many counties and counties will follow suit.

When Xiahoudun and Cao Ren heard this, they were stunned.

It's even more panicked.

Because, at this time, Xi Yu's soldiers, horses, grain and grass were several times stronger and more abundant than before.

However, the soldiers and horses in other states and counties are getting bigger and smaller, and it will take at least a while to recuperate before they can be repaired.

However, the dramatic Xuzhou is like an endless city, and the source of troops is more like an endless river, which can continuously replenish troops.

It's amazing.

There are too many people and horses playing!!

It's unbelievable!

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, his heart was very abrupt, and he was even more afraid.

How could he not be afraid?

His Yanzhou and Jizhou large areas together have only more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Among them, there are also recruited soldiers, and some veterans have been discharged, and now there are only more than 200,000 left, and Cao Cao himself does not know how many people there are......

However, today's drama Yu knows the specific situation of soldiers and horses, defense and detailed maps of the four states under his command.

If Xi Yu wants to rebel, within a month, Yanzhou will definitely be annexed, and Cao Cao will not even have the opportunity to wait for rescue.

At this time, all the members of the Cao clan felt that it was as if a knife was always on their necks.

That drama is the man with the sword.

More than 300,000 soldiers?

The armament is complete and there are many talents.

In the past two years, a lot of romantic poems and texts have come out of Xuzhou, and the hermits seem to have found a real place to live in seclusion, and they all moved to Xuzhou.

The main reason is that even if Xi Yu knows that there are celebrities in the country, he will not bother.

Because there are many talented people under his command, as long as someone wants to be an official, he can enter the office, and he only needs to enter the academy or the "academy of sciences".

Xuzhou under the rule of Xi Yu has a unique charm compared with other states and counties.

For example, if you ask the Jingzhou scholars, none of them know the "First Law of Xi Yu Mechanics", although Xi Yu has explained many times, it is called Newton's First Law, but no one believes this, they prefer to believe that "Newton" is just a pseudonym of Xi Yu.

Moreover, there are many similar pseudonyms, one of which is called a chicken, a duck, a de, or something.

In short, while these knowledge is very amazing, it arouses the scholars' curiosity, and they are even more reluctant to leave Xuzhou.

After listening to this report, Cao Cao smiled dryly at the corner of his mouth, then took a sip of wine, and then asked the maid to pour wine, and then raised his glass to Xi Yu and asked, "Who wrote this article?" ”

Xi Yu replied truthfully, "It was written by Zhuge Kongming." ”

"Wonderful, really wonderful." Cao Cao immediately looked at Zhuge Liang and said with great satisfaction, "It's really wonderful, Fengyi's subordinates have such capable people, it's really admirable!" ”

Not only that, Cao Cao remembered very clearly in his heart that Xi Yu not only had so many powerful advisers, but also a group of fierce generals under him!

Moreover, now the Qingzhou soldiers are also under his control!

When he was in Yanzhou, Xi Yu was his great benefactor of Cao Cao!

So talented, so charming!

I'm afraid it is...... Like a tiger!

If the tiger wants to fight back, the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are really difficult to resist.

Who does this, who can replace the lord of the world?!

Was he really rebellious?

Cao Cao was very worried at the moment.

In the previous battle in Jizhou, Cao Cao had to rely on Xi Yu, but now it is so difficult to ride a tiger.

If Xi Yu is directly detained now, and he is allowed to return to the position of Dasi Nong, or even the position of Sikong, I am afraid that Xi Yu will definitely rebel when he returns to the army.

Just like General Huang Hansheng just said, he does not pursue glory and fortune, nor does he want to give a reward, but only what he knows, at least 70,000 people want this reward.

But what they actually want is not a reward at all, but not to be bullied!

What does it mean to be bullied? That's Xiyu!

If something happens to Xi Yu, I am afraid that many people will immediately mutini and rebel because of this incident.

In this way, the surroundings of Yanzhou will surely become chaotic again!

Therefore, if you immediately cut off the military power of Xi Yu now, it is tantamount to asking for your own death.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xiahoudun and Cao Ren very carefully, these two people had long dared not get along with him as before, including Cao Chun, and they didn't dare to talk to Cao Cao casually anymore.

The Cao clan and the Xiahou clan all heard that Xi Yu had said a sentence, and they kept it in their hearts.

"It's just three things!"

At that time, Xi Yu's words were very deafening, and they had been circling in Cao Cao's mind, and they were lingering in the minds of all the clan relatives!

So far, they have consumed two chances, and if they provoke Xi Yu for the third time, I am afraid that it will be ......

But for some reason, Cao Cao had an intuition in his heart that this day would come one day.

Cao Cao smiled a little wryly, or maybe it was just his delusion.

"Fengyi, now, you are strong, comparable to a general!"

Cao Cao looked back and said with a smile.

Now, between him and Xi Yu, he still wants to remain as simple as before.

But at this time, Xi Yu's brows moved slightly, and he hugged his fists and said, "Don't dare, Fengyi has always been a brother's minister." ”
