Zhang Xiu with more than a thousand soldiers south, all the way in a hurry, almost no pause. In the case of heavy snow, it took less than ten days for Zhang Xiu and his party to arrive in Yuyang county.

The soldiers in the army are very tired.

Zhang Xiu asks Gan Ning to lead the soldiers to the camp to rest. He goes back to the prefect's house and sends someone to invite Xu Shu.

Xu Shu asked: "Lord, what's the situation in Lushan?"

"It's settled!"

Zhang Xiu answered, and then told Cao lie in detail. She also told Pang Tong about staying in Lushan for the time being.

After hearing this, Xu Shu said: "Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero in the world. His focus is still in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, so he has arranged for people to sneak into Nanyang County. It seems that it won't be long before Cao Cao attacked Nanyang County. We need to be ready. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes were solemn and said: "in a short time, Cao Cao should not attack. So we have enough time to prepare. Of course, once Cao Cao is killed, we will not be afraid. "

Although Zhang Xiu's memory, Cao Cao will not go south for the time being.

But there could be accidents.

Out of Lushan, Cao lie returned to Yanzhou. He didn't know what would happen.

Xu Shu also agreed with Zhang Xiu's words and asked, "when will the LORD go south after he returns to Yuyang county?"

Today, Zhang Qicheng replied

Xu Shu said: "the war is coming. If you set out to go south earlier and decide on the marriage, you can have fewer variables. I'm in favor of the Lord going south. Otherwise, it will be delayed until next year, and I don't know what will happen. "

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "when I'm not in Yuyang County, you can decide everything, don't ask me."

"Here it is

Xu Shu bowed his hand to answer the question.

Zhang Xiu waved her hand, and Xu Shu bowed down. Zhang Xiu went to the backyard, changed his clothes, left the prefect's house and went to Huang's shop. When he arrived, Huang Yueying was actually studying female workers.

This scene surprised Zhang Xiu.

Huang Yueying has always disliked female workers, and has never been interested in embroidery.

How did you start to learn embroidery?

With a smile on her face, Zhang Xiu asked, "Yueying, how did you start to learn to be a female worker?"

"Nothing, just want to learn."

When Huang Yueying saw Zhang Xiu, she hurriedly put away her clothes and put them in her room. Then she said, "young master, you're back in Yuyang county. Are you ready to go south?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "when I come back, I will fulfill my promise. Now it's time to go back to Xiangyang. Hurry up and follow me south. "

"Good!"

Huang Yueying nodded.

She quickly went to pack up the salute. When everything was ready, she came to Zhang Xiu and said happily, "young master, everything is ready. Let's go!"

Zhang Xiu also does not delay time, took Huang Yueying out of the Huang family, then took the carriage south.

……

Yanzhou, Xudu.

Xudu, also known as Xuchang.

After Cao Cao returned to the emperor, he moved his capital to Xuchang County, which was also renamed as Xudu.

Inside the city, Sikong mansion.

Cao Cao's Sikong mansion covers a large area, but it is not luxurious, on the contrary, it is very simple. Cao Cao himself called on officials to be diligent and thrifty. Although Cao Cao welcomed back to the emperor, with the emperor in his hand, his life was not easy.

In terms of food, we are even more stretched.

Yanzhou is different from Jingzhou and Jizhou. It has experienced countless wars and the people are poor. In addition, Yanzhou's land is not as fertile as Jizhou and Jingzhou. Most of the land is barren and seldom cultivated.

It was in this way that Cao Cao ordered the garrison to increase grain production and supply the army.

Sikong mansion, in the study.

Cao Cao's short stature, ordinary appearance, but the end of the eyes, a pair of black eyes, through the glittering, bright. He is sitting cross legged at the moment. Although he is sitting at will, he has his own bearing.

He is buried at his desk and dealing with government affairs.

Cao Cao was in charge of everything in the court. The emperor was like a puppet, so Cao Cao was very busy. Although Cao Cao had some advantages in controlling the government, he had both advantages and disadvantages. He also had to mediate the situation between the two sides.

After all, the emperor in the hands, there are certain disadvantages. Many of the ministers brought by the emperor were loyal to the emperor and the Great Han, intending to help the emperor seize power and do everything against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao seems to be in power, but in fact it is not easy.

When Cao Cao was dealing with government affairs, there was a rush of footsteps outside his study.

Next, someone's coming in.

The people in their early twenties, dressed in white robes, were elegant and outstanding. He has a pair of dark and shining eyes, which are full of penetrating light.

His name is Guo Jia.

He is Cao Cao's true confidant.

Around Cao Cao, only Guo Jia could enter Cao Cao's study without the report of soldiers.This is Guo Jia's privilege.

Cao Cao heard the sound of footsteps, with a faint smile in his mouth. He knew that Guo Jia was coming.

Putting down his pen, Cao Cao said, "it's just right that fengxiao came. There's just one thing I want to hear from you. Dong Cheng, the father-in-law of the state, was appointed general Wei because he helped the emperor to Xu county. The plan at that time was to appease Dong Cheng and give him an official title. But the emperor and his courtiers were not satisfied with the power at present. They hoped to give Dong Cheng real power and let him take charge of the imperial army. You see, what should we do with it? "

Guo Jia lifted up his robe and sat down with a casual look, saying, "Lord, what does Wen Ruo mean?"

Wen Ruo is the character of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was also Cao Cao's confidant and an important official in the court, who was responsible for taking care of Cao Cao's rear area. Under Cao Cao's command, no one can surpass him in his ability of governing state affairs.

Under the coordination of Xunzhou, Yanzhou had a harmonious government and people, and there was no shortage of food and grass, which was the credit of Xunzhou.

Xun Yu was loyal to Cao Cao and the emperor.

In other words, Xun Yu was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia were close friends, so Guo Jia wanted to see Xun Yu's attitude.

What if Xun Yu also supported Dong Cheng to take charge of the imperial army?

Cao Cao said: "Wen Ruo didn't express his opinion on Dong Cheng. However, some of the old ministers in the court, jijiying, all wrote in the hope that Dong Cheng would be in charge of the army. These people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Let them go to war, they can't; let them govern the government, they can't. But in their struggle for power and profit, they have a lot of means. "

Guo Jia said: "if these people were not of average ability, the emperor would not have fled everywhere and finally fell into the hands of the Lord. He thought that Dong CHENGWAN could not control the imperial army. "

"The chief General of the forbidden army must be the confidant of the Lord."

"No one else can do it."

"Do you remember how Dong Zhuo died? Dong Zhuo ordered Lv Bu to control the Imperial Army, but in the end, Dong Zhuo died in Lv Bu's hands. "

"Once the forbidden army falls into the hands of the emperor, it will be dangerous for the Lord to enter the palace. If the Lord wants to control the power, he can't give up the candidate of the forbidden army "

Guo Jia had a sharp look in his eyes and said:" however, we can't ignore the emperor's proposal, otherwise, the court will attack the Lord again. It's fair to suggest that Dong Cheng be given a little military power. Nothing else. "

Cao Cao said, "fengxiao knows me!"

Obviously, Cao Cao also considered this matter.

He just wanted to listen to Guo Jia.
