Chapter 334 Take Qingzhou, Map Xuzhou

After sending everyone away, Li Yao's face became serious, and he fell into deep thought:
"Rewards, ordinary officials, rewards, give them as they should be given, and you can't be stingy, but Marquis, you can't indiscriminately award or indiscriminately reward, you have to find a specific time, such as my father being a king, and the rest of the people are being a marquis, so as to further improve the cohesion. This The meritorious class of heroes is an important support force for the struggle against the old nobles and old landlords. Although we should not think too much now, this class of heroes and nobles should be further divided in the future, such as the separation of dukes, earls, and marquises. ..."

Rubbing his temples, Li Yao closed his eyes, and began to look for a more suitable solution in the thousands of years of history.

……

After explaining everything, Li Yao naturally only thought about the issue of rewards, and the rest of Li Ru, Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhong Yao...followed the instructions and went their own way.

Soon after, Li Ru and Jia Xu carefully selected a team of envoys, and they officially set off from Chang'an. They will go to the east of the river to go to the party, and then enter the Taihang Mountains to talk with Zhang Yan and other bandits. .

At the same time, after Li Ru and Xun You agreed on some specific matters, such as determining the number of civilian workers, the size of the project, and the length of the construction period...then they recruited the refugees nearby.

After recommendation and self-recommendation, Zhang Su of Shu County and Zhou Qun of Ba County, as envoys, went to Shangjun and Xihe respectively, and presided over the recruitment of Qianghu while the remaining prestige was still there.

Zhong Yao was promoted to serve as a servant and concurrently Henan Yin, but in fact, he was just a polished commander. In the end, with the support of Li Yao, he recruited people from other departments to form a team. Anyway, most departments of the imperial court are Decoration, this is not for nothing, it saves a waste of salary.

When he finally left, Li Yao dispatched another thousand soldiers to support the scene and maintain order. After all, if there was no army watching over the food, it would be very likely to be looted.

……

Zhong Yao went out of Hangu and arrived at Luoyang. There were still ruins here, but he could see many people in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, among the ruined walls, sheltering from the wind and rain, struggling to survive.

The continuous outbreak of wars in the Kanto region caused too many people to be displaced and go far away from their hometowns. In this unintentional area in Henan, many refugees also gathered.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Yao immediately ordered people to clean up an open space, set up ten large cauldrons to cook porridge, a big fire was burning under the cauldrons, and the fragrance was wafting from the cauldrons. Undoubtedly, it was easy to gather the people together.

At this time, Zhong Yao looked at them and said:

"Fathers and folks, I'm Zhong Yao, the new Yin of Henan. The court is back, and you don't have to go hungry anymore. The court is back, and you won't suffer from the cold anymore..."

"Give porridge to everyone now, no competition is allowed, line up, each person has a bowl, those who have bowls eat first, those who don't have bowls borrow bowls from those who have bowls, everyone has a share, don't worry!"

It's useless to talk nonsense. First, let people eat something.

Hearing this, the numb faces of the people burst into spirits, and the people's haggard bodies burst out with infinite power, rushing up one after another, pushing and pushing each other, wanting to squeeze in front, not wanting to be left behind.

Immediately, some soldiers went over and shouted loudly, wearing armor and holding guns, and they were extremely fierce. Only then did they frighten them, and they retreated one after another and formed a queue.

At this time, Zhong Yao looked at the people, his heart ached, and he looked at Luoyang with a firm expression. He wanted to take these people to rebuild the city.

Since that day, the spread of Zhong Yao's porridge spread quickly, and the refugees from the surrounding area continued to pour in, and Luoyang had thousands of people in one fell swoop.

Zhong Yao led them to clean up the ruins, reopen the fields, and gradually revive Luoyang City from the dead silence.

But this is a dangerous signal for the princes of the Guandong, which means that the imperial court intends to intervene in the affairs of the Guandong.

Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang!

Cao Cao felt a headache. Not long ago, Li Yao sent troops to attack the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and he felt relieved. After all, the Huns had a lot of cavalry, and they could fight and run. This is a difficult enemy.

However, news came from Jizhou that the [-] Xiongnu in Bingzhou had all been wiped out, and Li Yao had already returned to Guanzhong.

The impact of this move can be said to be that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. The shocked Cao Cao was in a trance and felt powerless from the bottom of his heart.

Now, the imperial court has sent Henan Yin to try to regain control of Luoyang. Isn't this just to prepare for the future east.

He was restless, and immediately called for his advisers, Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai... and then said:
"Li Yao quickly wiped out the Xiongnu, Liangzhou's cavalry were fierce and unstoppable, now Zhong Yao is sent to serve as Henan Yin, trying to control Luoyang, what can we do?"

Everyone was silent, no matter how deep their resourcefulness was, but in the face of [-] soldiers, there was nothing to do or nothing to do.

Chen Gong's expression was cold. Ever since Cao Cao killed and massacred the city, he had always disliked the opponent, horizontally and vertically, but he didn't find an opportunity. If he found an opportunity, he must give the opponent a ruthless blow.

Faced with this silence, Xun Yu stood up and made an overall analysis from the perspective of the overall situation:
"Li Yao is tyrannical, but if he really sends out a large-scale army, the princes of the Guandong may unite again. It's better to lock this fierce tiger inside the pass. Once it comes out of the pass again, it will definitely lead the beast to eat people. This is something that the princes of the Guandong don't want to see. Arrived..."

"There is no need to worry too much at this time, but it may not be the case in the future. With Henan and Luoyang, the hearts of the people in the Guandong have support, and the imperial court can intervene. We can't force it. Maybe we can only block the border, don't let the scholars, the common people ...Go ahead, the Son of Heaven is in the hands of thieves, we are controlled everywhere, Zhong Yao is from the Yingchuan Zhong family, I will try to write letters to win him over, but if he can be reused, he must be trusted by Li Yao."

In fact, Xun Yu also thought of one person, his eldest nephew Xun You, now Xun You is also under Li Yao's command, with his intelligence, Li Yao will be even more difficult to deal with.

In today's world, heroes from the Kanto region rise together, and the Kansai family dominates. How similar is this situation...

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice:
"Leave everything to Wen Ruo, I will send troops to block the border, and I will never let anyone go to Henan, to Luoyang, as for Zhong Yao..."

Cao Cao said regretfully:

"Famous scholars in Yingchuan, it must be because of the emperor that he stooped to become a thief. If he can be persuaded to cooperate with the inside and outside, and rescue the emperor, then it will be just around the corner!"

At this moment, Cheng Yu's eyes flashed brightly, he stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"Minggong, in the face of the current situation, we can't sit still and wait for death. Xuzhou is difficult to conquer. We should take Qingzhou to strengthen ourselves. If we have Qingzhou and Yan'erzhou, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought for a while and then nodded:

"Yes, Xiao will first contact the emperor's loyal ministers in Chang'an City, we can't just wait here, first condemn the general to block the border, and then I will lead the army to capture Qingzhou!"
