Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought at Puyang. At first, Cao Cao fell into Chen Gong's trap and almost lost his life. He was saved by Xu Chu. Later, Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong's words and was defeated. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to pursue him. The whole Shandong area was captured by Cao Cao.
Li Feng had been in Xuzhou for three months, and Tao Qian's health was getting worse by the day. These days, he was sick again, and his illness was getting more and more serious. He invited Li Feng, Mi Zhu, and Chen Deng to discuss his funeral.
Tao Qian grabbed Li Feng's hand and said," I invited Tianxing here for no other reason. This old man can't take it anymore. It's hard to guarantee my safety." Please, for the sake of the people of the city, accept this seal of Xuzhou. Then the world will be lucky and the people will be blessed.”
Li Feng still declined, saying,"You have two sons. Why don't you pass them on?”
Tao Qian shook his head and said,"The two of them are too talented." After my death, please take care of me.”He died with his finger at the age of sixty-three. The army mourned and mourned.
After the funeral was over, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng led the civil and military officials and the people of the city and handed the seal of Xuzhou to Li Feng. Li Feng saw that everyone was so supportive of him, so he accepted it. He took charge of the affairs of Xuzhou and issued a notice to appease the people. When the people heard that Li Feng had taken over Xuzhou, they sang and danced, and the whole city celebrated.
Li Feng then ordered people to take Xiaopei Zhao Yun's army into the city, leaving only Guan Hai with 5,000 troops stationed. Zhao Yun went to see Li Feng and recommended Chen Qun, the county magistrate of Pei County, to Li Feng. Li Feng was overjoyed. He knew that he would be a famous internal affairs talent in Wei Country in the future and would stay in the government to manage Xu Prefecture.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Guangling, ordering Geng Wu to be the prefect of Guangling, Guan Chun to be the assistant, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu to be the generals to guard Guangling, train the navy, and develop Guangling into a naval base. Xu Huang, Zhang He, Man Chong, and Gu Yong were transferred to Xuzhou. Zhao Yu also came to Xuzhou with them.
Of course, Li Feng wouldn't let go of the recruitment of talents. He ordered people to release the Talent Recruitment Board and search for talents everywhere. Lu Su from Linhuai Dongchuan and Xu Sheng from Langya had both arrived. Li Feng knew their abilities and put them in important positions.
At this time, Li Feng's military strength had greatly increased. He had brought 20,000 soldiers from Guangling, 10,000 from Guan Hai's Yellow Turban Army, and 30,000 from Xuzhou's Danyang Army. In total, he had 60,000 soldiers. Li Feng saw that the army was in a mess and in order to increase their fighting strength, he reorganized them. With the Pill Sun Army as the foundation, he selected elites from the army brought by Guangling and some elites from the Yellow Turban Army. A total of more than 10,000 people were reorganized into a main force of 40,000. Li Feng appointed Zhao Yun as the main general, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, and Xu Sheng as the deputy generals. Li Feng ordered the remaining 15,000 troops to be stationed in Xiapi, with Sun Ce as the main general, Zhang He and Mi Fang as the deputy generals, as Xuzhou's support.
Next, Li Feng rewarded the three armies. He appointed Zhao Yun as General Weiwu and General of the Army, Sun Ce as General Weiyuan, second only to Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci as General Weizhen, Xu Huang as General Weidong, Zhang He as General Weixi and Xu Sheng as General Weibei. He appointed Jiang Qin as General Weinan and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Chen Wu as the Protector Army and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Mi Fang as General Yamen and Guan Hai as the Deputy General Army. He ordered Dian Wei to be the general of the tent and command the Black Dragon Army (this was a secret army that Li Feng had trained using the modern training methods of the special forces. There were five hundred men and horses, and they were responsible for Li Feng's safety). Tian Feng was the military counselor, Lu Su was the chief historian of Xuzhou, Liu Ye was the commander of the army, Man Chong was the commander of the army, Chen Qun was the chief clerk of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was the commander of the arsenal in charge of financial resources, Gu Yong was still in charge of criminal law, and his salary was increased by two levels. Sun Qian was still in charge of collecting intelligence, and Chen Deng was in charge of foreign affairs.
Regarding the training of military generals, Li Feng had this idea in Guangling. At that time, the military was tense and could not implement it. Now that Xuzhou had been decided, he could handle this matter. Li Feng gathered Zhao Yun and the other generals and set up a room. With Tian Feng as his teacher, he taught them how to set up formations and how to use strategies and tactics. Li Feng hoped that they would have the talent to stand on their own and become generals who were skilled in both martial arts and literature. However, Dian Wei was not very happy about this matter. He complained to Li Feng about how he had a headache hearing about it, saying that he was not cut out for studying and that he should not torment Old Dian. He said it in a pitiful manner. Li Feng saw him and knew him, so he didn't force him.
At the same time, Li Feng was still using the military system in Xu Prefecture to accumulate food and grass. At the same time, with the financial support of the Mi family, Li Feng bought a large number of horses, made weapons and armor, and equipped the entire army. He was prepared to move when the opportunity arose.
Zhao Yu had already been in Xuzhou for three days. These few days, her brother had been busy helping the lord deal with Xuzhou's affairs, so they had not seen each other much. The lord had seen it on the day he came, but he had not seen it since. Upon arriving at Xu Prefecture, she heard that the lord was engaged to some young lady of the Mi family. The young girl's heart was deeply stabbed."My lord will always be my lord. I'm just a little girl. Why would my lord like a little girl like me?”Zhao Yu could not help but cry when she recalled the scene of Li Feng hugging and kissing her that day.
"Who made our little elf sad?”A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Zhao Yu looked up and saw that it was Li Feng. She quickly wiped her tears and prepared to bow.
Li Feng pulled Zhao Yu back and said," You don't have to be like this when there's no one around. It'll always be like this in the future. Do you hear me?"”
Zhao Yu lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes without saying a word.
Li Feng reached out and lifted Zhao Yu's forehead to wipe away her tears. He said gently,"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Big Brother Li that Big Brother Li is looking for him. Is it your brother? I'll go find him now.”
Zhao Yu quickly pulled Li Feng's sleeve and said anxiously,"Don't. My brother didn't bully me. No one bullied me. It was just that the wind had blown sand into his eyes.”
Seeing Li Feng turn around, Zhao Yu lowered her head again and asked,"I heard that the lord is engaged to the young lady of the Mei family. Sister Mei must be very good-looking, right?”His voice was filled with bitterness and sadness.
Only then did Li Feng understand that Zhao Yu was sad about this matter. He said awkwardly,"She is very good-looking."
"Do you really like Sister Mi?" Zhao Yu raised her head and asked. Are you still thinking about Sister Diao Chan?"
Li Feng sighed and said,"To be honest, I only have Diao Chan in my heart. It's impossible for me to forget her." However, the situation forced me to marry Mei Huan. Moreover, Mei Huan is sincere to me. I can't let her down. I can only treat her well in the future and give her happiness.”
Zhao Yu's eyes reddened when she heard that. She said in a low voice,""What about me? I really like you too. Why can't you accept me? Just because she's the daughter of a rich man and I'm a humble little girl.”As she spoke, she started crying again.
