Xiaoguangong

Chapter 157 Everything is Business as Usual

"Brother! You really made a great contribution this time!"

In Fancheng, Le Jin was beaming, he held Guan Ping's hand tightly, and kept praising General Yun Shan for his great contributions to the great man.

Xu Huang, Cai Hao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi all stood with their hands down, smiling like spring flowers.

Pan Zhang’s army was extravagant, and almost everyone wore armor. Yunshan wiped out all 500 of his men in the first battle. Based on Cao’s armor rate, it was counted as 5000 annihilated. .

The military newspaper was edited by Sima Fu, so it was not Yunshan's own credit, but Le Jin and Cao Pi were dispatched in the middle, Xu Huang and Cao Zhi were in charge of the front line, and Cai Mao led the army to block Xiashui and command Zhang Yun to go ashore to search. The complete victory of World War II.

These heads, especially Pan Zhang’s, were absolutely not fake. This credit swept away the haze of Jiangling’s defeat before. Cao Cao praised Le Jin and Xu Huang heavily, and changed Cai Mao to Nanyang according to Cai Mao’s previous request. The prefect (still the general of Zhennan), Le Jin got his wish and became Jingzhou Mu, and the fake Jieyue Dong Du Jingzhou's military forces - except that his title of general did not go further, Le Jin won a big victory this time and officially became Jingzhou His master, his Shiyi also raised a thousand households, and even his 14-year-old son was granted the title of Marquis, with a hundred households in Shiyi.

Xu Huang made great achievements in the battle. Cao Cao replenished all the soldiers lost in the previous battle with Zhang Fei, and he was promoted from General Yokoye to General Pingkou, and the number of Shiyi increased by [-]. He was transferred to Guanzhong to be commanded by Xia Houyuan——Cao Cao spent a little time on Xu Huang's dispatch. After thinking about it, Xu Huang's ability is still higher than that of Le Jin, and he is not suitable to stay under Le Jin all the time, he might as well be transferred to Guanzhong to prepare for meritorious service.

Under the tent of Xiahou Yuan, who has a generous and generous temperament, at least Xu Huang doesn't have to be so embarrassed as under Xiahou Dun, which can be regarded as calming down his grievances.

Xu Huang was also very satisfied with this assignment, and the previous conflict between him and Le Jin was resolved through this matter. Le Jin came to Fancheng to see Xu Huang off in person. The two got drunk and were full of expectations for the future.

"Wen Qian, you must take good care of Tan Zhi. This man will be a famous general in our army in the future, and his position will be higher than mine." Xu Huang said with Jiu Jin.

Le Jin smiled and said: "Do you still need to say? Tanzhi has such ability before he is a weak crown, and his future is limitless. When my son grows up, let him work under Tanzhi's command and study hard How does Tan Zhi fight?"

Le Jin would be jealous of Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin and other colleagues, but he would not be jealous of Yun Shan who was not a few years older than his son.

By the time Yunshan was in the imperial court, he would have retired with honor, and Yunshan was very good at being a human being, and he was still extraordinarily considerate to him until now, and even took the initiative to share his military exploits with himself. How could Le Jin not like this?
For the first half of his life, he had to fight desperately to get some credits, but now he sits in Xiangyang every day, learning tea, calligraphy, reciting poems, and playing chess. The robes were all replaced by Confucian robes, but the credit still automatically flew to his head.

It was the first time he heard of Pan Zhang's name when the news of killing Pan Zhang came, but in the battle report carefully polished by Sima Fu, he was the first in this battle, and Cao Cao also gave him extremely high praise. evaluation of.When Ma Liang heard about this, he praised Le Jin for his extraordinary cultivation, and Jiang Taigong, who had been in Xingzhou for 800 years, was no more than that.

Le Jin never dared to be compared with Jiang Ziya back then, but Ma Liang and Cai Mao together, all Jingzhou clans blocked Le Jin's gate, and Le Jin's family was like a market for three days in a row. unstoppable.

In the beginning, Le Jin couldn’t even say that, but after a long time, seeing everyone saying that, he gradually believed that it was true. It turned out that I, Le Jin, was born a famous general and a great talent to save the Han Dynasty. I just need to keep restraining my temper. Listen patiently to the advice of the sages in Jingzhou, and I will sit in the position of general in the future just around the corner!

"The general has already thought about it." Le Jin said drunkenly, "Before the prime minister said that he would drill the navy—well, from now on, the Jingzhou navy will be recruited and drilled by Tan Zhi, and all the military equipment and food will be dispatched by Ji Chang."

Well, I've been fighting all my life, can't I enjoy it?

With such a talented subordinate, I can really enjoy it in the future, reading, tasting tea, drinking, serving food, playing chess, reciting poems, and chatting. I will do whatever Jingxiang celebrities do in the future.

Yes, it is like that.

Cai Mao got his wish and became the prefect of Nanyang. He was very happy and invited his old partner Kuai Yue.Kuai Yue knew Guan Ping's identity, and seeing Cai Mao mixed with Guan Ping, he naturally did not dare to disobey Cai Mao's order. He humbly declined Cao Cao's invitation to serve as an official in front of the emperor, and honestly served Cai Mao as a meritorious service.

Zhang Yun, who took Pan Zhang's head, finally got Guan Ping's forgiveness, and returned to his eternal home Xiangyang, preparing to train the navy for Guan Ping.

Guan Ping looked around, and saw that Jingzhou's organization was so familiar now, the decision-makers were still from the Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other aristocratic families, and the commander of the navy was still Zhang Yun.

Cao Jun's hard work during this year has actually been in vain. Jingzhou has returned to Liu Biao's era, but Jingzhou Mu has changed.

Cao Cao didn't know it, he had to use money and food to support these Jingzhou people, and use his precious food and iron to support this gradually growing enemy army.

even……

"Frankly, we will be a family in the future. If there was any misunderstanding before, don't blame Brother Yu."

Le Jin and Xu Huang both got rewards, and Yun Shan naturally got rewards as well—he was promoted to be the General of Rebellion and Marquis of Yanshou Pavilion.

Cao Cao actually wrote the book himself, and jokingly ordered Yunshan to prepare more dowry gifts. Xiahou Dun even wrote to Yunshan to tell Yunshan that Cao Cao had decided to marry his second daughter, Cao Xian, to Yunshan because the second daughter was still young and still at home. He was going to let the great scholars Wang Lang and Huaxin choose a good day and auspicious day to come to Jiangxia to finish the procedure first.

As we all know, Cao Cao likes and trusts his family the most.

He married his daughter to him without even seeing Yunshan's face, which showed his trust in Yunshan.

Cao Zhi, who had a very bad relationship with Yunshan before, was really frightened this time, so he wrote Yunshan's military report like a story about cultivating immortals, hoping to restore the relationship with Yunshan.

Guan Ping looked at this talented man with an expectant face, and naturally had no reason to refuse.

He smiled and said that all the previous events were just misunderstandings. From now on, we will be a family, and we must help each other to achieve great things.

Cao Pi had a very good relationship with Yunshan before—at least he thought it was good, and this time he was squatting in Xiangyang City and Yunshan actually sent him a credit, which made him very proud.

The only thing that makes me a little upset is that Yunshan wants to ease the relationship with Cao Zhi.

Loyalty does not absolutely equal absolute disloyalty.

Cao Pi believes that Yunshan should be loyal to himself, and must not sit on the wall in front of himself and Cao Zhi.

He didn't try to please Yunshan like Cao Zhi did, instead he raised his head with a snort, waiting for Yunshan to please him.

But Guan Ping obviously couldn't figure out the great writer's unconstrained ideas. He didn't know how he had offended the great writer. After thinking about it unsuccessfully, he simply showed Yunshan's madness and returned to the army with his head held high.

This made Cao Pi feel a little lost—no, shouldn’t he hurry up and apologize to me in fear, and vow to sever ties with Cao Zhi in the future?

Hmph, you ignore me and I ignore you, our good friendship before will be wiped out.

Cao Pi's character has always been like this, his temper comes and goes quickly, but he is very naughty, and he has always longed for an apology from Yunshan, but Yunshan is busy with military affairs and has no time to understand the thoughts of this great writer. It made Cao Pi feel very disappointed.

What made him even more disappointed was that he received a private letter from Cao Cao a few days later.

In the letter, Cao Cao beat Cao Pi hard——

The general idea is that don’t think that I don’t know that Yunshan is deliberately giving credit to your two brothers. It just so happens that you two came back and made me angry, so stay with me in Jingzhou and come back in a year.

After a year, Cao Cao will ask about the performance of the two of Yunshan, whoever did not perform well will hinder Yunshan, and the consequences...

Hmph, go if you want.

This letter made Cao Pi fall into an ice cave.

He just had a bad fight with Yunshan, and he doesn't know how to mend the relationship this time.

He raised his hand and slapped himself, wondering why he was always so ill and couldn't control his temper.

Fortunately, I now have counselors by my side.

Ma Liang's younger brother, Ma Di, has a good literary talent and is very familiar with military affairs. He and Cao Pi hit it off right away. The two often talked late at night and gave Cao Pi a bunch of ideas.

Although the idea was mostly useless, Cao Pi's approval for his activeness was gained.

This time Cao Pi hurriedly pulled Ma Su over and asked him for advice.

Ma Di is 20 years old this year. He is elegant and handsome, with a personable demeanor. He has read poetry and books since he was a child.

He listened to Cao Pi's question and smiled lightly, and said in a low voice:
"My lord, it's not hard to get along with Yunshan, but the hard part is how to get the prime minister's favor and beat Cao Zhi, isn't it?"

Cao Pi nodded like a chicken eating rice:
"Not bad, I wonder what Xiao Chang taught me?"

Ma Di smiled gently:
"This matter is not too difficult, Cao Zhi is in Xiakou, so he is naturally closer to General Yun.

But as the son of the prime minister, how can he bow his knees to please others in order to take care of him?

The son is talented and courageous, and the ancient grandson Wu is nothing more than this. If he can slowly move forward and slowly understand the method of using troops, in time he will be able to do great things that shock the world and make the prime minister look at him.

I heard that there is a thief named Huo Jun in Xinye. This person has gathered hundreds of people to invade the side, and he is hated by the people. Why don't you lead your headquarters to destroy him? Prime Minister Cao will be happy to see your son's ability, and it will be more useful in the future. "

Cao Pi thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

That's right, so what if the father doesn't recognize the credit he made before?

I will personally lead the army to suppress the bandits this time, and I will surely accomplish great things.

Huo Jun, I will borrow your head.
