Ten days later, Nanpi City, Bohai County.
As the place where Yuan Shao made his fortune in the past, it was not as prosperous as imagined.
The large county that once had a population of over one million is no longer what it once was.
The overall look is slightly desolate.
After experiencing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's repeated exploitation, Bohai County almost exhausted its vitality.
So much so that it became what it is today.
Even Nanpi City, where the government was based, and the prefect's mansion were in a state of disrepair.
This made Han Wang Liu Zhang feel slightly uncomfortable.
The original Yizhou, not to mention Guanzhong, was prosperous and a paradise on earth.
Even Jingzhou and Yangzhou, where they had stayed since the Eastern Expedition, were not so dilapidated.
As for Xuchang, where he was temporarily stationed later, it was even more prosperous than many places.
Although Cao Cao was frugal, the Wei palace was extremely grand and worthy of the title of king.
After such prosperity and luxury all the way, it is really uncomfortable to suddenly come to a dilapidated city like Nanpi.
If the governor's palace is in ruins, it means that the entire city will be like this.
After all, landmark buildings are not good enough, so what else can we expect?
Fortunately, this is just a transit point and you don't need to stay for a long time.
The Han armies from all directions were overwhelming, and the Wei army was quickly eliminated.
After Cao Cao's death, the Wei army's level of resistance declined rapidly, and the fall of Yecheng exacerbated the collapse.
Each army either surrendered voluntarily, or the Han army opened its doors and surrendered after approaching the city.
There was little resistance from the city.
The entire Bingzhou and all counties in Jizhou have been taken over, and the remaining and hidden forces are currently being eliminated.
When the two states are completely digested, the troops will be divided into two groups to attack Youzhou, unifying the entire Hebei in one fell swoop, and with it, the entire world.
At present, all armies are carrying out their respective tasks in an orderly manner, with Liu Zhang taking command from the center.
It is said to be a command, but in fact there is nothing to command. Each army has a commander-in-chief and a military advisor, and below it there are generals, generals and junior commanders.
Liu Zhang only had to issue orders and didn't need to worry about the rest.
Cao Cao was dead, and the main force of the Wei army was completely destroyed.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang was asked to do it himself, and the generals and military advisors under his command should be ashamed of themselves.
It was precisely because of this leisure that Liu Zhang was able to consider the surrounding living environment.
"King of Han!"
In the prefect's mansion, Liu Zhang was taking a nap in the courtyard when a voice woke him up from his sleep.
Opening his hazy sleepy eyes, he saw a very familiar face.
"Gongda."
It was Xun You.
Since the battle at Weishan, Xun You has returned to Liu Zhang to help coordinate the overall situation.
At the same time, Xun You, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew met each other, and they were also very brilliant.
Xun Yu was so ashamed that he even had no face to meet Xun You.
It was Xun You who recommended him to Liu Zhang as an official.
As a result, Xun Yu had evil intentions. Instead of helping Liu Zhang, he only wanted to harm Liu Zhang.
Fortunately, Liu Zhang had the foresight to see through Xun Yu's plan, so it did not cause a catastrophe.
Although it was a blessing in disguise in the end, everything was Liu Zhang's personal credit, and no matter how much the credit was calculated, it could not be attributed to Xun Yu.
Moreover, the crimes of entrapment, betrayal, and acting as a spy to secretly communicate with Cao Cao are extremely serious.
Every one of them can separate Xun Yu's head and cause the Xun family to suffer disaster.
Xun Yu knew that his sins were serious, he was ashamed of Xun You and the entire Xun family, and he felt ashamed.
Xun You also lamented very much, not knowing how to face his uncle.
How can I plead for mercy and open my mouth after making such a big mistake?
Fortunately, Liu Zhang set a new level for the uncle and nephew.
The merits of defeating the Wei army and killing Cao Cao were allocated to Xun Yu, allowing him to balance his merits and demerits and stop pursuing him.
At the same time, Liu Zhang assigned him a new task.
Return to the Central Plains and tell all the families what happened.
Of course, this whole story has been processed, at least in a way that favors Liu Zhang and belittles Cao Wei.
All the power of the Central Plains clans was wiped out, and they were no longer able to resist Liu Zhang's rule.
In this regard, Liu Zhang was unwilling to wield the butcher's knife and start killing.
Just like when Cao Cao burned the letters secretly communicated with Yuan Shao by his subordinates, these things will disappear with the death of 50,000 soldiers.
He is about to become a king who will rule the world, and his mind and belly will grow accordingly.
After pacifying Youzhou, Liu Zhang will undoubtedly become the leader of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
How can the Central Plains family, whose strength has been greatly reduced, dare to show any disobedience?
The war has lasted for so long, and the war should not spread anymore.
Living in peace is the greatest favor to the people.
This is also something Liu Zhang firmly believes in.
Xun Yu and Xun You were extremely moved. The two old men, who together had more than 100 relatives, thanked Liu Zhang profusely and burst into tears.
For Xun Yu, it is no less than the gift of reinvention.
It gave hundreds of Xun family members a chance to settle down and make a living.
For Xun You, his lifelong dedication to following his destiny has not been in vain.
Liu Zhang is indeed a person who values love and justice.
Regarding this order, Xun Yu had no reason to refuse and swore a solemn oath to do a good job for Liu Zhang even to the death.
This is no longer a personal matter of Xun Yu, but the entire Xun family.
If Xun Yu didn't do his best, Xun You wouldn't agree without Liu Zhang.
This matter must be completed completely and overachieved even if the entire Xun family is mobilized.
It is different from the sweep in Hebei.
Once the Central Plains is pacified, it will be completely pacified.
Liu Zhang will no longer have to worry about anything.
Whatever you do in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
"Gongda, is it Wen Ruo who has brought good news?"
Seeing Xun You coming so excitedly, Liu Zhang subconsciously thought that things were progressing.
More than a month has passed, and it is understandable that the news has arrived.
"King Han, the matter in the Central Plains can be solved, there is no need to worry."
Xun You also made a guarantee before changing his tune.
"Old minister, I'm here because I have something else to report."
"Oh, by the way...it's a happy event, a big happy event!"
"oh?"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up.
Turn over and stand up from the recliner.
"Gongda, where does happiness come from?"
Xun You smiled mysteriously, and then pointed in the direction.
