Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 138
When Ye Xiao led his army back to Xiapi, the first thing he did was to bury the dead soldiers so that their souls could return to their hometowns.

Then, amid Mi Zhu's thoughts, Ye Xiao allocated a large amount of pension funds, established a department specifically to serve the military families of the victims, and distributed money and food every month to support the surviving families.

No matter how strong the foundation of the Mi family is, facing Ye Xiao's generous support, it is still a little bit of a stretch, and Mi Zhu can't do without talking about it.

In particular, building a workshop center in Guangling, mobilizing hundreds of craftsmen in Xuzhou, cost tens of thousands of money and food, and then adding the establishment of this military pension agency, tens of thousands of money and food are spent every month.

Fortunately, the whole of Xuzhou was included in the territory, and the channels and business routes of the Mi family were stabilized, and the income was also steadily increasing. More laborers joined production because the war subsided, and Mi Zhu was slightly relieved.

At this moment, Cao Cao went up to the emperor and asked for the imperial edict for Ye Xiao to come late.

It was the eunuch Zhao Neishi who came to announce the decree, but he was also a member of Cao Cao and an authentic eunuch.

When announcing the decree, Zhao's servant held himself to be an imperial envoy of the emperor, and his attitude was extremely arrogant. He was picky about the reception, and he directly pointed out that this was a gift from Cao Cao to Ye Xiao, so that Ye Xiao would thank Cao Cao in the future and not put the emperor in his place. in the eyes.

It is conceivable that Cao Cao's deeds in Xudu relying on the emperor to make the princes are not much better than Dong Zhuo.

"..Ye's martial arts skills are outstanding, and he is the mainstay of the imperial court. He is the mainstay of the imperial court. The country's Qiancheng specializes in Ye's Xiao as the General of the Eastern Conquest. He is the emperor's shepherd guarding Xuzhou. He is rewarded with tens of thousands of coins and awarded with a bronze seal, turtle and new ink. Shou, above the Marquis of Guanzhong, proclaimed it to the world, and the salty envoys heard about it."

Ye Xiao was patient, and finally listened to the lengthy announcement, followed Chen Gong's instructions, and took the imperial edict seriously. From this moment on, Ye Xiao was the justifiable lord of Xuzhou.

Even, Cao Cao conveniently granted Ye Xiao the title of Marquis of Guanzhong, which belonged to the lowest rank in the Han court.

For example, the baron of the fifth-class title Zhonggong Hou Bozinan can eat [-] households in the city, and the area is [-] miles away, and he is treated properly as a nobleman.

But the title is better than nothing, Ye Xiao readily accepted Cao Cao's kindness.

It's just that after Zhao's internal servant issued the imperial decree, he handed over the bronze seal, tortoise and ink ribbon and Xuzhou Mushou's document, and the [-] reward was missing.

"General Zhengdong, congratulations. The Holy Majesty said that although the reward of [-] is not large, the internal treasury is short of money and food. First remember that you will have meritorious service in the future before allocating it to the general."

Zhao Neishi looked at Ye Xiao with a smile, and stretched out his empty hands to show that he did not bring any money.

[-] yuan is not much, it is the cost of a few war horses, Cao Cao is so stingy to this extent.

Ye Xiao cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged, he took out a piece of jade from his sleeve, and quietly put it in the hand of Zhao Neishi.

"Master Zhao has traveled a long way and worked hard, please convey your thanks to Prime Minister Cao after you go back."

Zhao Neishi felt the warm jade in the palm of his hand, knew that it was a good thing worth tens of thousands of dollars, and showed a look of interest.

"General Zhengdong, don't worry, I will definitely bring this to the prime minister." Zhao Neishi put away the jade bi without a trace, turned around and left.

"As soon as the matter is over, General Zhengdong, then I will take my leave."

Ye Xiao personally sent Zhao Neishi to the door, and did not return to the meeting hall until the other party was out of sight.

"My lord! Why are you so polite to eunuchs, and the emperor's reward is too stingy, just a few pieces of paper and ribbons, not even ten thousand dollars."

Lu Bu was a little upset, apparently because he couldn't understand Zhao Neishihu's fake tiger's prestige.

"Father-in-law, let's not talk about other things. Zhao's servant came to announce the decree, representing the honor of the emperor. We can't let others talk about it, especially this kind of disabled servant, who is no different from a troublesome brat."

Ye Xiao explained, looking at the generals in the meeting hall, he was in a good mood. The official Xuzhou Shepherd can not only open the mansion, but also has the power to appoint the governors of the cities and counties in the territory.

This is a real court official, Ye Xiao asked Chen Gong to record it with a smile.

Lu Bu officially became the prefect of Pengcheng, and Zhang Jing served as the assistant of the prefect.

Liao Hua became the governor of Lingbi County. Because Lingbi City has few people and small land, the county magistrate was set up by Ye Xiao as the subordinate management of the Guangling City magistrate.

Guangling City was headed by Zhang Liao as the county guard and Zhang Hong as the county magistrate.

In Donghai City, Xu Fu was the governor of the county, concurrently serving as the governor of the county, and Xu Sheng was the general of the army.

All the generals under Ye Xiao's command were beaming and accepted the official promotion appointment, and the cohesion of the generals in the faction increased again.

The news that Ye Xiao was listed as the general who conquered the East spread throughout the south, and the situation Cao Cao expected also happened as expected.

In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu was in a rare good mood after choosing a concubine, but was once again jealous and uncomfortable by the news that Ye Xiao had been granted the title.

After smashing a few things, Yuan Shu realized that Ye Xiao couldn't be let go, and sent someone to call his subordinates to discuss matters.

After waiting in the conference hall for a while, Yuan Shu saw his son Yuan Yao and the clan generals Yuan Yin and Yuan Huan arrive.

"Okay! I, Yuan Shu, can't control you anymore? Are there only a few descendants of Yuan's family who are dignified four generations and three princes? What about Han Yin? What about Li Feng?"

"Could it be that he ran away like that Yan Xiangpan thief?"

Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he didn't expect that all his men were gone.

Le stood up and bowed his hands. He escaped from Guangling City and became a general of Yuan Shu's army as he wished.

"My lord, the military advisor and General Li left the city yesterday, and I heard that they went to Runan for business."

Li Feng is a miscellaneous general newly promoted by Yuan Shu, and he just sent him to Runan to buy drinks for the celebration the day before yesterday, and Yuan Shu finally remembered this after being mentioned by Le.

Because Ji Ling slayed himself on the city wall of Guangling, Chen Lan and Lei Bo disappeared, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun, Liang Gang, and Han Hao died in battle, and Yuan Shu lost 5 horses in the battle with Ye Xiao, including more than half of his generals.

Yuan Shu looked at the few people in front of him. In the past, when the conference hall was brilliant, there were many soldiers and generals. How glorious it was.

"The leaf thief is so hateful, I can't sleep peacefully if I don't take revenge. General Le, how is your new army training going?"

Yuan Shu lost 5 horses, and again recruited [-] new troops to train outside Shouchun City in order to avenge his attack on Lingbi in the future.

"My lord, it will take several months for the new army to be ready for a battle, and there is still a big gap in food, grass and armor. I don't know when my lord will be able to make up for it."

Yuan Shu immediately calmed down as soon as he heard the music and wanted money for weapons and armor.

He found that Le had been training during this period and kept asking him for supplies, but he didn't see any moves or improvements from the new army, so he started to let the logistics get stuck in the other party's requests.

"This matter is easy to deal with. Don't be in a hurry, General Le. Bring the army division back from Runan. After the ceremony, you will be my general, Yuan Shu, and I will give you everything you want hahaha."

Lejiu sneered secretly in his heart, pretended to be happy and grateful, and bowed to Yuan Shu.
