Regarding the arrival of Wen Chou.
Cao Cao was naturally quite surprised.
When Cao Ang introduced him to him earlier, Cao Cao's first reaction was to feel confused.
Just like my son thought.
He never thought that Yuan Shao would send people to help him. Firstly, the mountains are high and the road is far away. Secondly, Yuan Shao is not such a warm-hearted person.
Besides, Cao Cao never asked Yuan Shao for help, so Yuan Benchu's overly proactive behavior also puzzled Cao Cao.
"What is a big fat sheep?"
Looking at the confused look on his father's face, and then listening to his questions that seemed to be murmuring to himself.
Cao Ang still said with a smile on his face: "In addition to sending troops to support us, Uncle Benchu also asked Wen Chou to accompany the army to escort hundreds of grain trucks, saying that he would give all the grain and grass to us."
The words are spoken.
Cao Cao's eyes widened immediately.
"I'm afraid I have other plans!"
blurted out without thinking.
Obviously, Yuan Shao's behavior cannot be hidden from truly smart people.
But seeing his father understand what he meant.
Cao Ang nodded slightly.
"If you are willing to give out so many benefits, I'm afraid what uncle Ben Chu is planning is not a trivial matter."
"After the banquet is over, when the child takes Wen Chou to visit his father, you must be careful and don't accept his request inadvertently."
Cao Cao's eyes flashed immediately.
After thinking rapidly.
Soon they showed a tacit smile.
"My father understands that since he can get this food and grass in the first place, he must be able to get more things."
"My father will not let go until it is clear that something can be done, or there are more benefits!"
…
After Cao Ang returned to his seat.
Cao Cao looked at the bearded man sitting next to his son, his eyes full of admiration.
Well done!
Isn’t Yanzhou the most short of food right now?
After acquiring this group of 100,000 captives, although the number of young people increased significantly, it also brought about a drawback.
The pressure on food supply is too great!
Even if the military camp system can be implemented, in the name of the army, these people will be recruited to cultivate the land for the Cao family.
But it takes a certain amount of time for the land to produce food. Before the next food harvest, most of these people need to be supported by the government.
Although after becoming Yanzhou Shepherd.
Cao Cao can allocate money and food to the counties in Yanzhou, but this will consume the foundation of the entire Yanzhou after all, and will greatly delay the pace of Yanzhou's recuperation.
Therefore, Yuan Shao sent this batch of grain and grass.
It can be said that it greatly relieved the current food pressure and allowed Cao Cao to take a few breaths.
He was still a loyal person in the beginning!
The restoration and construction of Yanzhou depends entirely on you!
The thought of this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile at Wen Chou.
When our General Wen saw this, he thought Cao Cao was quite impressed with him.
He couldn't help but smile back quickly.
For a time, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
…………
over time.
The excitement of the banquet is gradually cooling down.
Cao Cao, who was at the top, realized that the time had come after noticing everyone's reaction.
He immediately clapped his hands.
Signaling the dancers to step back.
After the singing and dancing had left, the place suddenly fell silent, and everyone seemed to have expected something and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Cao Cao.
Seeing such a situation.
Cao Cao immediately stood up with his sword in hand.
He raised his hands and signaled to everyone.
Then in a generous tone, he said loudly: "Everyone, many of you must have guessed the meaning of today's banquet. In addition to cleansing the dust for a few people, the most important thing is to achieve a comprehensive victory for our army. , and held a celebration banquet!”
As Cao Cao finished speaking.
Everyone immediately stood up and cheered.
Although everyone is a person with status and status, at this moment, no one is trying to put on airs, but instead they are shouting together.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans swept across the country in a mighty force. After arriving in the central part of Yanzhou, they attacked the city and destroyed villages all the way. Even the previous Yanzhou governor died at their hands.
Such a huge force and a terrifying record.
It can be said that everyone present felt tremendous pressure from this. I don't know how many people had sleepless nights because they were worried about the Yellow Turban Thieves.
The current crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves has achieved an unprecedented victory.
This is certainly worthy of everyone's joy.
…
After so long.
Cao Cao then lowered his hands and smiled, signaling everyone to calm down a little.
Then he continued: "Today, of the 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves who invaded Yanzhou, except for the remaining troops in Juye County and Kangfu County, who are still resisting stubbornly, all the others have surrendered."
"And the thieves outside these two cities are just a matter of time. Perhaps when I am saying these words, the good news is already on the way."
"This time there were three Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandits. Among them, Zhang Rao and more than a hundred people fled in a hurry. They were only suffering from scabies. Xu He died on the spot, while Sima Ju was captured alive by our army."
Speaking of which.
Cao Cao even pulled out his long sword from his waist.
Raise the sword high and point the tip of the sword straight at the sky.
"I, Cao Cao, now announce as the shepherd of Yanzhou that the Yellow Turban thieves who came from Qingzhou and wreaked havoc in Yanzhou have now been completely destroyed!"
When everyone in the audience saw this situation, the emotions they had suppressed just now were instantly ignited again.
"Ming Gong is mighty!"
…
I don’t know who took the lead in shouting.
In an instant.
The audience was already filled with shouts.
Everyone was repeating these four words over and over, and the sound was so loud that it almost knocked down the roof.
For the local families who have lived in Yanzhou for generations, Yanzhou is their root.
If the root is damaged.
Then no matter where they go, they will only be drifting trees, lonely and helpless.
Therefore, Cao Cao's actions of leading his army to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves were seen by everyone as saving them from dire straits.
The strength and skills displayed throughout the entire process are even more frightening and awe-inspiring.
At this moment.
Cao Cao's reputation in Yanzhou has reached its peak, and his status as the shepherd of Yanzhou will be unanimously recognized and respected by everyone.
If there are no accidents.
Yanzhou will become Cao Cao's most solid backing, with an iron foundation. No one can challenge Cao Cao's authority on this land.
Cao Cao is the sky of Yanzhou!
And among the crowd.
There are two people with different expressions.
Wen Chou looked at Cao Cao, who had such a high prestige in the hearts of everyone. His face was not surprised but happy, and he had greater expectations for what would happen next.
Bohai County needs Cao Cao's help.
The stronger Cao Cao performs, the more help he can bring to Bohai County. Wen Chou naturally hopes that Cao Cao can be as strong as possible within limits.
And the opposite is.
Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan County, looked a little complicated.
He felt that his plan was about to fail.
With Cao Cao's power of victory, no one can oppose his will now, not even himself!
This is trouble!
…
The mountains call and the sea calls.
Moreover, those who praised him were a group of people with status and status.
This is for Cao Cao at this stage.
It’s an extremely exciting thing!
No one has ever praised him so much in the past. In the past, he always followed others.
In terms of reputation, he doesn't have a particularly great reputation. Before taking charge of the government, he had never held any serious official position with real power.
When you go out with a young man like Yuan Shao, other people's eyes and attention are often focused on Yuan Shao, treating him as a small supporting role.
But today.
Everything is different from the past!
I, Cao Cao, finally stood up!
Think about this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his eyes to his son Cao Ang, his eyes full of emotion.
Let’s talk about getting to this point today.
Who helped him the most.
There is no doubt that it is Cao Ang!
Although he is his own child and will only turn twenty by this time next year, everything he does is already far beyond that of his peers.
If it weren't for this child's many plans.
As early as when he was in Luoyang, he had already stepped into the trap one after another, not to mention that Cao Ang later found him the position of prefect of Jiyin County, which provided him with a springboard to become a Yanzhou shepherd.
All the way till now.
My son has paid a lot!
It is truly a gift from God for the Cao family to have this son!
…
While Cao Cao was sighing in his heart.
Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, glanced at Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang County, quietly.
Then he quickly walked to the center of the hall.
When the crowd's shouts gradually subsided.
Zhang Miao took two steps forward, and then, under the gaze of everyone, bowed to Cao Cao and bowed to the end.
He even said loudly: "Having Ming Gong at the helm of Yanzhou is really a blessing to Yanzhou. As the governor of Chenliu County, I would like to obey Ming Gong's orders in the future. I will obey all orders!"
There was sudden silence in the hall.
Everyone looked a little surprised.
I really didn't expect that Zhang Miao would come out at this time and show his loyalty to Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao himself had already figured it out.
This was the price Zhang Miao had to pay after he expressed his willingness to give in.
certainly.
Cao Cao still had to pretend to be humble on the surface.
"This... Meng Zhuo, why do you have to do this!"
But before he could walk down the steps and lift Zhang Miao up with both hands, another person stood up next to him.
It was Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang.
This guy is a bit of a thieves. The county seat of Shanyang County and the state seat of Yanzhou are in the same place. Others can hide, but he will never be able to hide.
Besides, he doesn't have much strength on hand anymore.
It's better to be simple.
Show your loyalty now.
It can leave a good impression on Cao Cao to some extent, and he may be used more by him in the future.
"I am also willing to serve as the governor of Shanyang County and obey Duke Ming's orders in the future. I will definitely obey any orders!"
…
Two prefects stepped forward one after another.
It immediately played a powerful leading role.
You know, Yanzhou has a total of eight counties.
Among them, the governor of East County is Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son. This is a vote that goes without asking.
As for the prefect of Jiyin County, it was the official position that Cao Cao held before, and no new prefect has been appointed yet.
The Prime Minister of Dongping died in the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves.
besides.
The prefects and prime ministers of the remaining five counties have all arrived here, and now the second of the five has left.
There are only three left.
Bao Xin is Cao Cao's best friend, stronger than any friend Cao Cao has made in the past.
Therefore, without hesitation, he followed Yuan Yi and stood up.
As for Zheng Sui, the Prime Minister of Rencheng State, does he have any choice? Rencheng State is the smallest area and the least populated place in Yanzhou. Even the terrain is semi-surrounded by Shanyang County.
This man has no autonomy.
Always follow the vote.
So after a little hesitation.
Zheng Sui then walked out of the queue honestly, came to the center of the hall, imitated the postures of the previous ones, bowed to Cao Cao to the end, and uttered words of loyalty.
…
Four out of five people.
Only the last one is left.
The prefect of Taishan County Ying Shao.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to him.
I want to see what choice he will make.
Ying Shao felt the gazes coming from left and right, and felt that his whole body was ignited by the focus of the gaze, and he felt a little hot and panicked.
What's all this?
He came all the way, only to be roasted on the fire for no apparent reason.
Doesn't this push him to the edge of the cliff and force him to make a choice?
On the way here, Ying Shao was still thinking about whether he could connect with the prefects of other counties after arriving at his destination.
Not to mention how he treated Cao Cao, the superior officer.
Just ask for one to maintain independence.
If you can do what you want to do within your own one-third of an acre of land without any restrictions, and no one will care about you, then everything is enough.
The results haven't waited for the series connection.
It's over.
Yanzhou has a total of eight counties, seven of which have been finalized, and he is the only one left.
What's going on?
Can he still turn the world upside down?
Thinking about it, you know it is absolutely impossible.
Cao Cao, who had already controlled most of Yanzhou, could have directly dismissed Ying Shao from his position as Taishan County Governor after he showed rebellion.
There will be no hiccups during the entire process.
At this moment.
The most sensible thing for Ying Shao to do is to stand up and show his loyalty like everyone else.
If you work honestly from now on, you can still maintain your dignity, and maybe your boat will be able to rise with the rising tide.
If you still have other thoughts.
Then wait for others to help him look decent!
After thinking clearly.
Ying Shao came to the hall with heavy steps.
"The Taishan County Governor Ying Shao is willing to be dispatched by Ming Gong and ride his horse forward. I dare not go against him!"
