Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 716
The Hebei army fought until dark, and Liu Wei called for gold to withdraw his troops.

According to incomplete statistics, the Hebei army beheaded 15 Cao soldiers, captured 8 Cao soldiers, and 10 to [-] Cao soldiers became deserters. Cao Cao returned to Xuzhou. After the capital, the defeated army was gathered, only [-] defeated troops were gathered, plus the defenders of Xudu, and the Habayashi army guarding the palace, there were only more than [-] soldiers and horses, less than [-].Li Dian, Yu Jin, Cao Hong, Xun You, and Cheng Yu have all never returned, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Now only Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Xu Chu, Xi Zhicai, Sima Yi, and Jia Xu are left beside Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao was lying on the couch, looking out the window with blank eyes.

Suddenly, Cao Cao suddenly shouted: "Come on, come on, I seem to have seen Liu Ziyan, come on, Liu Ziyan is going to kill me!"

When Cao Cao yelled, the guards guarding the door rushed in in fright, and Xu Chu was among them.

"My lord, don't be afraid, with me, Xu Zhongkang, Liu Ziyan can't hurt half of your hair!"

Xu Chu stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cao's waving hand, and said kind words to comfort him.

"Zhongkang, is Liu Ziyan really not here?"

Cao Cao took Xu Chu's hand and held it tightly, as if Xu Chu would leave him if he let go, and Liu Wei would come to claim his life.

"My lord, Xuchang has already been built by us like a railroad, not to mention Liu Ziyan, who is ten alive, even if he is a fly, he can't fly into Xuchang city!"

Xu Chu comforted him with kind words.

"That's good, that's good!"

Only then did Cao Cao lie back down in peace, but he asked Xu Chu to stay guarded in his room every step of the way.

Cao Cao was ill, his eldest son Cao Ang died in Guandu, and the military and political power fell into the hands of Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi.

But the current Cao Pi is completely different from the Cao Pi in history, and it is very different from the Cao Pi who forced Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps. It can be said that he has a sense of courage.

"Master Xi, I heard that Liu Ziyan is going east to attack Dongjun. I'm afraid he will go south to attack Xudu in a short time. What should we do now!"

Cao Pi looked anxiously at Xi Zhicai.

Originally, my father fell ill, and my brother died in battle. It is a good thing that the military and political power falls into his own hands, but Cao Cao left him a mess. Liu Wei's army may go south at any time, and Cao Pi can't think of a way to deal with it anyway. way.

Xi Zhicai looked at Jia Xu, bowed to Jia Xu, and said, "Master Jia, you are known as a poisoner, do you have a good plan to help the second son through the difficulties?"

Jia Xu looked up at Xi Zhicai, did not speak, and said to himself, even Cao Cao can't beat Liu Wei, so you still expect an innocent little bastard to deal with Liu Wei?

"Master Jia, is there any way you can say something!"

Xi Zhicai urgently urged.

"Oh, a way? There is a way, but this way can only keep Xu Du temporarily safe!"

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Sima Yi raised his head and looked at Jia Xu in surprise, but immediately lowered his head again, but all this happened in an instant, Sima Yi didn't say anything.

"Master Jia, please explain clearly!"

"Xiahou Miaocai led an army of [-] to guard Chang'an. These [-] troops are all heroes from Guanzhong, and they are even capable of fighting the Hebei army!"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, she fell silent again.

But Xi Zhicai was worried about gains and losses and said: "If Xia Houyuan is transferred back, then Chang'an will definitely fall, and the whole Guanzhong will fall into Liu Wei's hands!"

"Hehe, if you want Xia Houyuan to return to aid Xudu, you must do so as soon as possible, otherwise Liu Wei will turn around and attack Guanzhong when he takes down the eastern part of Yanzhou, and it will be too late to call Xiahouyuan back by then!"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Xi Zhicai turned his attention to Cao Pi again and asked Cao Pi what he meant.

When Cao Pi had any objections, he said respectfully: "It's all up to you adults to decide!"

"Okay, then give up the land in Guanzhong, transfer Xia Houyuan back, and let Xia Houyuan lead his troops back to aid Xudu!"

As soon as Xi Zhi finished speaking, a civil official wrote the document, stamped Cao Cao's seal of the king of Wei, and sent someone to Chang'an to deliver the letter.

At this time, Liu Wei was leading an army to conquer the land in the east of Yanzhou.

Along the way, the officers and soldiers of various counties and counties watched the wind and surrendered. Liu Wei's soldiers took down dozens of cities without bloodshed. But the officers and soldiers did not resist Liu Wei's Hebei Army, which did not mean that the rest of the local forces did not resist Liu Wei.

All the big families in Yanzhou know Liu Wei's policy of overthrowing local tyrants and squires and dividing up their property and land. How could these big families let Liu Wei take their land and just ignore it, but Liu Wei's name of killing gods has spread all over China In the north and south of the river, there is no one who is not afraid of Liu Wei, so these people are doing small tricks in private, inciting the people to rebel, and attacking the transportation team of the Hebei Army. If there are few Hebei Army soldiers left in the city, they will organize private soldiers to attack the county and kill The county magistrate seized the granary and made Liu Wei very busy.

"My lord, another three county officials were killed by the rioting people!"

Xu Shu handed a letter to Liu Wei.

"Damn it, these poor bastards, I gave them land and food, and they rebelled against me, killed my officials, and didn't show them some color. They don't know how powerful I am! "

Liu Wei slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Let Yue Xi lead the troops to rehabilitate the rebellion, and kill all the poor people who rebelled. I don't believe that I can't deter these poor people by killing them!"

"Master is not allowed!"

Xu Shu hastily persuaded: "My lord, the people are incited by others, and killing more people will not help. Only by killing the gentry and local tyrants who organized the rebellion can we solve the root cause and prevent future troubles!"

"Okay, according to what you said, let Jin Yiwei go down and investigate, but anyone who incites the people to rebel will be shot to death!"

"Here!"

Xu Shu immediately went to do it.

Jin Yiwei searched everywhere, and the local tyrants and squires in almost every county and county were involved in this matter. As long as they were found to be in collusion with the rebel army, the local tyrants and squires would be killed.The entire eastern part of Yanzhou was bloody, and thousands of people were arrested by officers and soldiers every day and pushed to the vegetable market to beheaded.The local tyrants and gentry in the entire eastern part of Yanzhou are in danger. Most of the local tyrants and gentry have dissipated their wealth, left their hometowns with their gold and silver, and went to other places to find a way to make a living.

And once these local tyrants and squires ran away, the eastern part of Yanzhou settled down.

After Liu Wei pacified the eastern part of Yanzhou, he turned his guns and prepared to go back to attack Guanzhong.
