Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!

He was so excited that he ordered people to greet him quickly before he even had time to put on his shoes.

But what happened next made his jaw drop even more.

Guan Yu actually took the initiative to kneel down to him. Although he said that he would surrender to Han but not Cao, this was enough.

Even if this kind of fierce general doesn't work for him, as long as he doesn't kill his own generals from time to time in the enemy's army, he will be thankful.

Regarding Guan Yu's reward ceremony, the emperor temporarily postponed it in the name of being ill, but Guan Yu sat down and did not know when an extra blood-red horse appeared.

Needless to say, that is the "red rabbit" horse.

Boss Cao this time was much happier than calling Jiang Zhe back after a fierce ideological struggle, and giving him the Qingzhi Sword with all his heart and soul.

In fact, in a sense, Boss Cao is still quite deductive. It may be a habit developed when he started his family. Until now, he has to go through the accounts in the military to feel at ease.

Otherwise, it won't taste good when you eat it, and you will have nightmares when you sleep.

After several weeks of preparations for the army, news of the departure of Yuan Shaojun's advance troops finally reached Xuchang.

Standing on the martial arts arena, Cao Cao watched the huge army below the stage full of energy and majesty.

"Generals, today Yuan Shao launched an army to attack me, and the people are dying. I want to destroy them for your majesty, and protect the people of the great man. You also have to protect your wives and daughters. When the army invades Yanzhou, they are taking their wives and daughters. Then they The blood was completely drained."

Don't expect the following group of mud-legged people to have any cultural literacy. The point of the whole story is that the sentence of "robbing money, food, and women" is enough to make people high-spirited.

When the flowers bloom again, although Xuzhou is located in the north on the surface, there is no shortage of spring scenery. Jiang Zhe also imitated the generals of the past dynasties to set up troops in the Pi. After all, this is really a treasured place for military strategists.

Since they are stationed in Xiapi, the county government will naturally treat it as their own home.

Strolling in the mansion garden, admiring these simple flowers and plants that have not been cultivated is really special.

I just don't know if the people in Xuchang City can feel the state of mind of the Xuzhou people.

That's right, to put it simply, Jiang Zhe was already a little bit reluctant to leave, and even almost forgot about Cai Yan and Xu Wei.

Anyway, Boss Cao has never given him a plan for the next step. Wouldn't it be nice to be a local emperor?

"General, there is a letter from Xuchang!"

Xia Houba ran into the garden in a hurry, looking for his master who had disappeared into the flowers.

Listen carefully, this guy must have nothing good to report.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

Jiang Zhe got out of nowhere and appeared behind him.

This resentful voice shocked Xia Houba, not because he was frightened by this action, but because he was afraid of disturbing his master's elegance.

"General, urgent report from Xuchang."

Jiang Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and many terrifying scenes emerged in his heart.

——It’s not like these big stupid donkeys didn’t listen, so I used soldiers without authorization to fight Yuan Shao to the death, right?People like Guo Jia will at least come up with corresponding countermeasures when they are drunk and sober.

Why don't you think about joining Soochow or jumping back to Yuan Shao's subordinates?

In fact, Jiang Zhe has not really been idle recently. After driving Liu Bei away, he simply summoned all Xuzhou county magistrates to come to Xiapi.

While feasting everyone, they also offered generous conditions, including but not limited to maintaining the status quo, county governments in various places still enjoy their previous rights, and tax reductions.

And single-handedly "pointing at the deer as a horse" delineated which ones are willing to cooperate and which ones are rebels with evil intentions.

For this kind of person, it is natural to accept the sanction of the iron cavalry together with those diehards who didn't even want to talk to him and didn't come to the banquet at all.

These counties didn't have any decent defensive means, and they didn't expect the cavalry to suddenly appear in front of them. After a few diehards were completely strangled, those who were still hesitating naturally lost their courage.

Therefore, the method of being gentle with one hand and sharp with the other is one of the favorite methods of the rulers of all dynasties.

After all, for these local public officials and scholar-bureaucrats, it is nothing more than changing a spokesperson for their interests.

Although the policy of "Huairou" has caused some military officials to speak up, including but not limited to the reduction of income, and other criticisms, but who knows what Jiang Zhe is really thinking?
This place is not my own territory, and I may just pat my ass and leave one day. I only need to make short-term plans, and leave the rest to the officials appointed by Cao Cao to wipe my ass and I'm done.

After unlocking the secret letter and browsing through the entire article, he suddenly said: "Haha, that's great!"

Even more so while listening, Xiahou Ba was in a fog.

There is no useful information in the secret letter, and Jiang Zhe sorted out the meaning of the whole text after a lot of digging.

At least he already knew that Boss Cao had sent troops to Guandu, just as he suggested, and deployed troops in Xuchang.

Guan Yu was also sent there, at least it shouldn't be difficult to make a historical ending, right?
"General, is the prime minister ordering us to return to our teacher Xudu and make arrangements?"

Xia Houba looked at his master with a happy face, thinking in his heart that there might be another war.

In his eyes, Jiang Zhe was an image of a god of war. In less than two days, he solved Liu Bei's ability to conduct a decisive battle, and he dealt with local officials at all levels in Xuzhou by means of thunder.

If it weren't for the great event of making great achievements, what else would make him so happy?

But Jiang Zhe's words are destined to dampen his passion.

"War? What are you fighting for? The whole article is full of the word "garrison", little bully, you should cherish this good time."

"Yes..." Xia Houba's eyes showed a trace of disappointment.

"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about it, how about the archers I asked you to train?"

When it comes to bow soldiers, Xia Houba gets excited. This is a little military power given to him by the general, which can already give this young man a great sense of vanity.

"Return to the general, practice diligently according to your instructions, enough eggs and corn every day, plus the strong farmers who were recruited, it has been quite effective."

"Oh? You really have two brushes, so take General Ben to inspect it and see if what you said belongs to it."

Unexpectedly, Xia Houba's expression suddenly changed, as if he was feeling a lot of uneasiness, and he didn't know how to place his guilty hands.

Jiang Zhe stared at him sullenly, "What? Could it be that what you said just now was deceiving the general?"

Xia Houba turned pale with shock, and quickly explained: "The small thing is that he doesn't have a brush on his body."

Jiang Zhe: "..."

——It’s been so long since you and I have learned to speak a few modern words?How did you read the books in the past seven or eight years?Cough, take me to quickly check the archer training is important, I will make it up for you later. "

Xia Houba respectfully cleared the way for Jiang Zhe, and all the patrolling soldiers he met along the way bowed and saluted.
