Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Jia Xu felt that his plan was suitable.

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Mr. Wenhe, Yuan Shang is your nephew. I'm afraid you are violating the uncle-nephew relationship by doing this!"

Although what Lu Bu said was a bit inappropriate, it was the fact.

Jia Xu snorted coldly, "My lord, Yuan Shang is a man who brings disaster to the country and the people.

"His father Yuan Feng and his brother Yuan Shu are both traitors. He has caused great wrath in Jizhou. If he is not removed, the generals and soldiers under the lord's command will not be at peace."

"Mr. Wenhe is right!" Lu Bu followed Jia Xu's strategy.

When Jia Xu saw that Lü Bu agreed, he said to Huang Zhong, "Xiao Gong, I know you are a loyal and righteous man, and our lord is a wise ruler.

It is always right for you to follow him. You lead 500 Tiger Guards and 300 infantrymen to Xuzhou. Make sure Yuan Shang's life is safe!"

"I obey your command!" Huang Zhong said.

Neither Lu Bu nor Jia Xu doubted Huang Zhong. After all, Huang Zhong's martial arts were extremely high, and he was protected by 500 Tiger Guards, so he must be foolproof.

Xuzhou.

Cao Ang looked at the secret letter in his hand and smiled. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's little tricks were known to Cao Ang.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang joined forces with the Yanzhou nobles to eliminate the rebellion in Yanzhou.

As a result, the aristocratic families in Yanzhou betrayed Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang one after another, which led to the weakening of the power of the Yuan brothers.

After Cao Ang obtained the information about the Yanzhou family, he gave it to Xun Chen and asked for his opinion.

After reading it, Xun Chen smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the Yuan brothers' plan has failed."

Cao Ang asked curiously, "What's the matter? Does the Prime Minister have any good ideas?"

Xun Chen bowed and said, "My lord, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang underestimated the Yanzhou family."

"I don't understand." Cao Ang shook his head.

Xun Chen explained: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang thought that the noble families in Yanzhou were all greedy and fence-sitters, and they were easily won over.

Little did they know that their actions angered the Yanzhou family and made them dissatisfied. "

"I see. Will Yuan Shang's plan fail?" Cao Ang was a little worried.

Xun Chen said: "No. Yuan Shang has already offended the Yanzhou family, and the Yanzhou family will not let it go.

Even if Yuan Tan wanted to persuade the Yanzhou noble families, he would not be able to succeed in the short term."

"Then I'll wait and see!" Cao Ang said, "Then the next step is to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack. I have to be prepared."

Cao Ang and Yuan Tan were both guarding against each other's sneak attacks, and Cao Cao did the same.

Cao Cao stationed tens of thousands of troops in Yanzhou, and at the same time concentrated his forces in Qingzhou and Yuzhou, preparing to take Qingzhou and Yuzhou in one fell swoop, and then launch a full-scale counterattack against Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

The new cities built by Yuan Tan in Xuzhou and Yuzhou have been basically completed and are just waiting for the arrival of food and equipment.

The noble families of Yanzhou have also begun working hard for the construction of the new city. They dare not slack off and work day and night every day.

Yuan Shang's new city has begun construction.

When the new city was being built, many people approached Yuan Shang, hoping that he would come forward and allow them to share in the benefits of the new city.

Yuan Shang directly rejected everyone and declared that he was ordered to build new cities in Xuzhou and Yuzhou. Anyone else who dared to cause trouble would be killed!

Yuan Shang's cruelty shocked the noble families in Yanzhou.

Under Yuan Shang's tough attitude, the Yanzhou families did not dare to continue making trouble.

Yuan Shang is now a typical mad dog, biting anyone who comes into contact with him.

On this day, the new city has been basically completed.

Yuan Shang and Guo Tu were checking the status of the new city. Guo Tu said with a smile: "Young Master, the construction of the new city has been completed by 70% to 80%. It is estimated that it will be completely completed by the end of the year."

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Well, you have worked hard during this period. This prince will host a banquet to entertain you all tonight!"

"Thank you for your gift, young master!" everyone shouted.

Yuan Shang set up a restaurant in the new city, providing a place for county magistrates and aristocratic officials from states and counties to eat, drink and have fun, and they enjoyed high-level treatment.

Outside the new city, almost all the people from the noble families gathered here, and they kept shouting towards the new city.

Such scenes also existed in the history of Yanzhou. As soon as Yuan Tan ascended the throne of Yanzhou Mu, the aristocratic families in Yanzhou started to make a fuss.

It’s just that Yuan Tan adopted gentle political means, using gold, silver and treasures to buy everyone’s hearts and make them behave themselves.

Yuan Tan finally successfully secured the position of Governor of Yanzhou.

After dealing with the affairs of Yanzhou, Yuan Shang sent Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

Yuan Shao recognized the abilities of Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, and was confident in handing over Xuzhou and Yuzhou to them.

Yuan Shang placed high hopes on Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao because they were his greatest helpers and the key to his capture of Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

Cao Cao also received Yuan Shang's intelligence and immediately laughed, "Yuan Shang is such a loser! He can't even deal with the noble families in Yanzhou."

Cao Cao sighed, Yanzhou was the most important part of Cao Cao, if Yanzhou was lost, Cao Cao would be in trouble.

"My lord, although the Yanzhou families have expressed their support for the young master, we also have to be on guard. What if these guys turn against us at the critical moment?" Xun Yu reminded.

Cao Cao was silent for a while. "What Wen Ruo said is very true. The Yanzhou noble families have always been cunning. If there is not enough temptation, they will definitely not surrender.

So we must give them enough benefits. In this way, the Yanzhou family will also work hard for us obediently. "

"My lord is wise!" Xun Yu praised.

“In that case, let’s do as Wen Ruo wishes.

You must gather your men immediately and prepare to send gifts to Yanzhou." Cao Cao ordered.

Xun Yu took the order and quickly selected the gifts. Cao Cao took the gifts and rode towards Xuzhou on a fast horse.

On the way, Cao Cao also met Yuan Tan's envoy, and the two had a brief communication.

Cao Cao knew that he had to go to Xuzhou, so he decided to speed up and reach Xuzhou as soon as possible.

At the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, Chen Gong stood in front of Yuan Shao and reported: "My Lord, the envoy from Yanzhou wants to see you."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and said, "Please come in."

Cao Cao entered the room, bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "I am Cao Mengde, paying my respects to the Governor of Xuzhou!"

"Oh, it turns out that Zhongde is here!" Yuan Shao said lightly.

Yuan Shao's tone was very calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Cao Cao cursed in his heart, Yuan Shao's habit of showing off came back again.

Cao Cao said, "I have heard for a long time that the governor of Xuzhou is very handsome. Today I see that he is indeed so."

Yuan Shao laughed out loud: "Zhongde, you are too polite."

"I am sorry for disturbing the governor's peace today." Cao Cao said awkwardly.

Yuan Shao said: "Zhongde, just speak directly. Benchu ​​and your uncle are close friends, so why bother?"

Cao Cao became even more annoyed. This guy was so arrogant.

"In that case, I will speak frankly." Cao Cao said, "I wonder what the governor thinks of the situation in Yanzhou?" (End of this chapter)
