At the end of November, the autumn harvest has completely passed, and the people have almost got the food for the winter, and the territory is relatively peaceful.

However, before winter, he must rush back to Juancheng to announce the complete end of the war in Xuzhou.

A war is not over when the city is broken, but whether it can hand over a satisfactory answer sheet after the city is broken and the enemy is destroyed.

In this answer sheet, the people's will, armament reserves, and talent are all assessment criteria, once the score is too low, the tigers and wolves around will not hesitate to send troops to devour, so that the victory in hand will be lost again.

Therefore, Yuan Shu had sent cavalry to investigate several times, but no news was found, and no military report was received that the displaced people had fled.

In the end, he didn't dare to attack Xuzhou easily, so he could only defend Guangling County, which was regarded as the result of sacrificing 50,000 stone of grain to support Lu Bu, in his opinion, the water in Xuzhou was very deep, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

If you set foot easily, the outcome is unpredictable.

But soon, the Yellow Turban of Runan Gepi was broken, and the news that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses came down from Xuzhou and Yanzhou respectively, which made Yuan Shu shocked and immediately retreated to the city, not daring to fight.

The fleeing thieves, but because they were afraid of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, they all gathered and flocked to the Huaiyang area, and were accepted by Yuan Shu.

Before the winter, Yuan Shu collected hundreds of thousands of people, broke Lujiang, Danyang, Yuzhang and other places, became famous, and Sun Jian's old troops were able to divide troops to Chaisang and Jianye to recover their hometown.

On the surface alone, Yuan Shu took advantage of Cao Cao and Liu Biao's inability to control his emptiness, and almost dominated the south of the Yangtze River, which can be called the largest prince in the territory, and Yuan Shao can't compare with it.

Yuan Shu used the signals, Fu Jie, Jin Shang and others, wantonly conscripted troops and grain, and his wealth was so great that it was difficult to have an opponent.

Of course, only on the surface.

The road was wet and rainy.

Cao Cao finally returned to Juancheng before the weather completely cooled down at the end of October, and when he arrived, Xun Yu led all the civil and military forces to greet him outside the city gate to congratulate Cao Cao on his victory.

This enthusiasm was so popular that even Liu Bei was shocked when he saw it, how could he have thought that Cao Mengde, who was good at controlling people's hearts and coercing soldiers, could get such popularity under his rule.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's clever means, that is, he was really born to be a benevolent king, but Liu Bei, who knew Cao Cao's temperament, did not think that he was like Liu Yu, a good lord, and a benevolent person, his attainments in the art of war would never be so high.

That is, the means are clever.

There is a good way to govern the county......

With the soldiers and horses placed in the military camp outside the city, the generals and colonels at all levels entered the city with the civil and military forces, returned to the expanded Juancheng government office, and then reported the current situation in Yanzhou, as well as the situation of military training, Liu Bei always took Guan and Zhang to follow.

To be honest, it's jaw-dropping, and my heart is full of admiration.

Cao Cao not only did "make the people quiet" and "rich and storey" in internal governance, but also encouraged merchants to move around, exempted and exempted merchants' taxes, so that goods related to the people's lives could go everywhere, so that the utility of gold, silver, and five-baht coins still existed, of course, rice grain was still a sought-after payment, but it is estimated that its value will gradually decrease after a few years.

Because the reserves of rice and grain are increasing, the land in Yanzhou is increasing year by year because it has not been damaged by the war, and the fertile land that has been reclaimed is more fertile, while the barren land of the borderless land is constantly turning into a green land with the migration of the tun people.

Almost every season, hundreds of people will get enough credit, and then exempt themselves from the status of tun people, settle down in a certain place, and set up new "pavilions" or "village markets", so that the countryside of Yanzhou is no longer barren mountains and cracked loess, but green mountains and green waters, full of fertile fields.

The ploughing cattle fed on the grass in the fields, and the people mostly wore hats and thick cloth clothes, and walked among the fields after autumn, sprinkling the fields with slightly finished straw ashes to nourish the soil, and some had already begun to irrigate the soil to prepare for next year's planting.

This year, there is still surplus grain in Yanzhou, which is amazing enough, but all this has happened, Liu Bei even feels that this is a rare place of tranquility, if such a piece of land is destroyed, not to mention that millions of people will lose their stability.

Divide the mansion.

After returning to Juancheng, because of the expansion of the area of the inner city and the outer city, and the construction of the city, hundreds of houses were built in the city, some of which were purchased by merchants, and some of which were used for rewards.

Zhang Han's original small mansion was expanded into a large mansion with four courtyards that were occupied by each other, and the internal cross wall was opened, and arches and courtyards were built, and the canal was led into the hospital.

Liu Bei, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others all have mansions.

After seeing the new mansion, Zhang Han sighed with emotion, it is really good to have money, send a house and a horse.

In the evening, Cao Ang also came from home, talked to Zhang Han and Dian Wei, and mentioned a major event to be done before the end of this year.

"Weng Weng and Xiaoniang have already discussed, my mother is far away in her hometown, and she may not be able to come back this year, so I won't wait for her, around December 18, it should be a good day, let Xian Mei marry Bo Chang as his wife, and after that, you and I will be in-laws."

Cao Ang's eyebrows danced, he was very satisfied with this family business, and now Zhang Han's merits are enough, and his second sister has also reached the age of sixteen, just enough to marry a wife, which is also Weng Weng's long-cherished wish after coming back this year.

"Cao Xian," Zhang Han nodded, thinking of that eccentric girl, who liked to blush and chase him to listen to stories when she was in Cao Mansion before, but she didn't expect her to be willing to marry, "No problem, I will propose marriage today." ”

"Yes, you drink! I'm going to tell Gongyu and Lao Gao! Dian Wei patted his thigh, immediately got up and left, walking like the wind, striding out of the courtyard gate, and after he left, Cao Ang sat closer again, and said: "Xiao Niang likes you, this mansion is what she asked someone to expand." ”

To be honest, I also like Ling Xiaoniang.

Of course, it's not that kind of liking, it's just that as a Cao thief, I appreciate it spontaneously.

Bian Yuer does not have everyone's beautiful shelf, and is gentle and considerate, often smiling, at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, in fact, it is the age of the sister next door, every time Zhang Han teases Xiao Cao Pi in Cao Cao's mansion, she will lean against the door, looking at it distractedly, with a smile like water.

At this time, Zhang Han can always think of the wife next door who went out to throw away the garbage in the morning, the wife next door who met in the laundry room, and the childhood sweetheart who returned to the countryside and married a wife, sitting side by side with him under the stars in the hot summer and chatting about the past love.

"After the expansion, the little lady will give Bo Chang 100 gold to buy some dowry, not too shabby......"

"No, no, no! Never! Zhang Han was directly interrupted after hearing this, his face turned red, this is to give the house and marry his daughter, and actually give back the money, this mother-in-law is too real, and if she goes on like this, she feels that she is about to eat soft rice.

"Fifty gold is enough," Zhang Han said euphemistically.

"Oh......"

Cao Ang sat down a little more steadily, and he thought that Zhang Han was going to refuse.

Zhang Han was a little cramped at this time, and suddenly there were so many good things in a row, he was promoted to get rich and married a wife, he had a mansion and a war horse, and he had two horses, a red rabbit and a small thin horse before him, maybe he could ask Mrs. Cao to help talk about it, and let the lord marry the shadow over.

Qi lived.

After all, someone found a BMW for Boss Cao that is more suitable for the dual-purpose of noble ceremonial warfare in front of others, called Claw Huang Feidian, which is more powerful than the other two horses, and Boss Cao must love it.

This, this is wonderful.

Zhang Han's hand was raised slightly, feeling that it was a bit rude to sit and chat like this, so he hurriedly called the doorman standing outside, "Bo Xiao, Ji Bo Xiao!" ”

"In! Please speak, sir! ”

"Go, take out the jar of drunken spring in our cellar, and then let the cook cook some delicacies, what do you have at home, I will talk to Zixiu tonight, if you are not drunk, you will not return," After Ji Boxiao went, Zhang Han whispered: "The night is long and boring, eat, drink and chat, watch dances and listen to music, and chat for comfort." ”

"Hahaha......" Cao Ang smiled dumbly, and hurriedly said: "Bo Chang, don't be so excited, it's just a little bit of my Cao family's heart, after all, you not only have military merits, but also have kindness to my Cao family." ”

"This kindness is enough to make us a family."

"No, no, no, you don't understand," Zhang Han knew that this mood was indescribable, so there was no need to elaborate, just be happy, drink some wine and be suitable for chatting, as soon as the conversation box was opened, the distance between each other's hearts was shortened, anyway, his body was not drunk.

The bride price in the previous life is also the current bride price.

He remembered that there was a big brother who spent 390,000 yuan on the bride price, as well as a garage, which almost emptied the whole family......

Fortunately, the eight quilts for his mother's wedding were very thick, and when he covered his head at night, no one could hear his crying.

I'm so lucky.

Talk all night.

On the second day, after Zhang Hanchen got up, he moved his muscles and bones in the courtyard a little, practiced spearmanship, supplemented by body skills, and then went to the government office.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a fierce man with big shoulders and a round waist standing in the courtyard, similar to Dian Wei's physique.

The difference between the two is that the muscles on Xu Chu's body are not as stiff as Dian Wei, and there are not many contours in sight, but the size is exaggerated, and those fats and fats feel like they are enough to store a lot of heat, and even cushion the impact.

If he is fat, he can't be called at all, his body is still relatively well-proportioned at first glance, Zhang Han estimates that as soon as this person exerts his strength, he can see traces of tenacity, so he belongs to the category of "fat", and the standard fierce general that Zhang Han thinks in his heart has always been this type.

As for Dian Wei, it should be a special case, his body is a horizontal training path, so the skin and flesh are tight and hard as mountain rocks.

As soon as Zhang Han walked in, the fierce man noticed it, and after the tiger eyes swept over, he blew his beard, his rough lips suddenly grinned, and he smiled like a bell: "Dare to ask if it's Zhang Bochang?" ”

"Exactly," Zhang Hanhu arched his hand suspiciously.

"Hahaha!" He laughed and opened his hands, strode over, and when he wanted to clasp his fists and salute, he was stopped in front of him by Dian Wei, looking at each other deeply, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were slightly unkind.

"Under Xu Chu, the word Zhongkang! Follow my brother to see Cao Gong, and hereby go to Shun! As soon as I entered Yanzhou, I heard the name of Zhang Bochang, the main bookkeeper, who saved the people from fire and water, was resourceful, and knew the way of people's livelihood, and admired him. ”

Dian Wei's face relaxed, and he moved out of the way.

Zhang Han looked up and down carefully, and felt that this person was tall, spoke loudly, full of neutrality, had a cloth bag tied on his head, and coiled his hair into a "curly bag", like a strong man in a peasant family, but he could be called a majestic posture.

"Did Xu Zhen come with you?" Zhang Hanting likes that kid, loyal and honest, easy to deceive at first glance, no, easy to make friends.

"Here, prepare accommodation for my brother at the inn."

"Go to my mansion, what else are you going to prepare, Brother Ji Yu and I hit it off at first sight, I said I was going to entertain him," Zhang Han said very usually, "My mansion is quite big, and I often entertain some beauties and close friends there." ”

"Hahaha," Xu Chu felt that Zhang Han was speaking very straightforwardly, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and hugged his fists and said: "Of course, I will definitely go to visit later, sir, please rest assured, Ji Yu told me, Mr. only begged me to bring Runan wine to repay this favor, and I brought it." ”

"It's a century-old wine that I have hidden at home, and I must ask my husband to drink it."

"Okay, good," Zhang Han nodded again, and then went in first, leaving Dian Wei and Xu Chu to talk in the courtyard, both of them were people with the same temperament, jealous and hateful, but Xu Chu estimated that he had never suffered the kind of Dian Wei when he was young, so he had to talk for a while before he could become familiar with it.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw another middle-aged man who was quite heroic, somewhat similar to Xu Chu, but with deeper bags under his eyes and rougher skin, talking to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao made a look and motioned for Zhang Han to go to the side room, so he went to the side room again.

Behind the screen, Xi Zhicai was writing a comment for Cao Cao, felt a darkness in front of him, looked up and saw Zhang Han, and said in surprise: "Why is Bo Chang here?" ”

"Me," Zhang Han scratched his head embarrassedly.

I'm here to work.

This is not my job, why are you doing it yourself?

Without waiting for Zhang Han to answer, Xi Zhi suddenly woke up, "Oh, yes, you are the master bookkeeper......"

After he was speechless, he put a roll of bamboo slips on the side, and then put the engraving pen aside, "Give you the pen, you will burn, these will be stored this year." ”

Engraving pen?!

Hearing these two words, Zhang Han thought big.

Then he took a moment to ignore these tedious things, sat down next to Xi Zhicai, and asked another master to burn it.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Han asked with concern, "Sacrificial wine, you've been doing well lately, right?" ”

"Tsk," Xi Zhicai glanced at him helplessly, put down his pen, and twisted his beard lightly, "You are, worried that I'm too busy with official business now, right?" ”

"Don't worry, I've written to a dear friend several times, and I recently received a reply from him, saying that the cavalry sent out to invite him to Juancheng before the winter begins."

mentioned this, there was a faint smile on the corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth, and the whole person was filled with an atmosphere of "aunt laughing".

Zhang Han immediately understood who he was talking about, but he still asked very cooperatively: "......What did you say about the sacrificial wine?"

"Hmph, that's right," Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, "That's what I've mentioned to you many times, Guo Fengxiao, with him to help me, I don't have to worry too much about many things." ”

Okay, Wancheng Tiantuan +1.
