In April, Zhao Yun and Zhao Xin returned to Runan City one after another. Zhao Xin sent 10,000 of the 15,000 troops from the five counties under his command to be stationed between Runan and Xinyang. He also sent people to inquire about Yuan Shu's movements in Shouchun.
After returning to Runan, they held a celebratory banquet. At the banquet, Zhao Xin, his civil officials, and generals enjoyed themselves. The next day, he summoned the main officials under him for a medium-sized post-war summary meeting to discuss the pros and cons of this battle.
After the meeting, Guo Jia, Xun-and Xu Shu were left to discuss.
"My lord," said Xun,"our army has now occupied the whole of Yuzhou, and there are two million people under our rule. But my lord is still the prefect of Runan. Why don't you go to the court and ask to be the governor of Yuzhou? "
Xu Shu said,"Yes, my lord. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly. Now, my lord is guarding a city and leading a state. It is a little inappropriate." "
Seeing Guo Jia nod, Zhao Xin said,""Since that's the case, we'll immediately submit a request to the imperial court to be the governor of Yuzhou. However, I think that since we've already asked, we might as well ask for a more powerful title. "
"What does the lord intend to do?" Guo Jia asked. "
"Fengxiao, our next target will definitely be Yuan Shu, don't you think so?" "
"My lord, do you want the court to give us the title of conquering Yuan Shu?" Guo Jia asked. "
Zhao Xin said,"I want to get a Pingnan General or even a Great General, so that we can at least be reasonable." At this moment, with the strength of our army, we are not afraid that Dong Zhuo will not agree to our conditions. "
Xu Shu said,"My lord, you are right. Isn't the title of the imperial court just a card in Dong Zhuo's hands?" Since we want it, we might as well be ruthless. "
"Wen Ruo, what do you think?" Zhao Xin asked. "
"That's for the best," said Xun. "
Zhao Xin said,"In that case, Wen Ruo, you should submit a memorial to the Imperial Court as soon as possible according to what we discussed just now."
Guo Jia said,"My Lord, now that Yuan Shu has suffered a crushing defeat, we should take advantage of the situation to plot against him. We can make preparations early during this period." "
Zhao Xin said,"It's better to wait for the Imperial Court to give us the title first. Of course, we have to make preparations. However, our army has just occupied two cities. It's time to cultivate and rest." "
"However, Fengxiao and Yuanzhi, why don't we plan together how to deal with the two strong cities of Hefei and Shouchun?" "
Then he asked Xun Dao,"Wen Ruo, are there any wise men coming to the Recruitment Hall now?" "
Xun said,"My lord, during this period of time, there have been some scattered talents who have come to vote. I have already arranged for them to go to suitable positions, but there are no great talents who can be of great use." "
Zhao Xin said,"We must do our best in terms of talent. We must treat those who have real talent well. Send people to open the recruitment halls in Nanyang and Xinyang." "
"Yes, my lord," replied Xun. "
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said,"There's one more thing. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Now that our foundation has made some achievements, we have to bring the families of my civil officials and generals to Runan." This matter would be handled by Yuan Zhi. Wen Ruo would fully support the manpower and resources needed. After receiving Runan, Wen Ruo had to settle down properly and not have a trace of neglect. "
Xu Shu and Xun-Qi claimed to be right.
After calming down, Zhao Xin began to think carefully, counting all the dukes in his heart. At this moment, Cao Cao's influence in East County was far inferior to his own. The original super strategists Guo Jia, Xun-, and Xun You had all been recruited by him. He did not know who Cao Cao would rely on to come up with strategies in the future. Dian Wei and Xu Chu had also been recruited by him. He thought that it would be much easier to deal with Cao Cao in the future.
In the Three Kingdoms, Han Fu of Jizhou lent food to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao colluded with Han Fu's important ministers and annexed Jizhou. Yuan Shao was now stationed in Hanoi, and he was about to seize Jizhou.
Gongsun Zan was trying his best to develop in the north. When Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, he would have to fight with Yuan Shao for many years.
Liu Bei was still a small Minister of Pingyuan, and he would be trapped in Pingyuan for the next few years. It was only when Cao Cao avenged his father in Xuzhou and helped Tao Qian defeat Cao Cao that Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to him. However, it seemed that he could forget about Xuzhou. When he finished dealing with Yuan Shu, Xuzhou would be next to him. How could he allow others to interfere?
Sun Jian and Liu Biao were about to fight, but it turned out that Sun Jian wanted to ally with Yuan Shu to fight Liu Biao. At this time, Yuan Shu was being suppressed by him, and he couldn't care about himself. How could he care about the life and death of others?
Ma Teng was far away in Xiliang and was probably dealing with the Qiang people.
Forget it, other than Dong Zhuo, he was the strongest among the dukes. He had to take the opportunity to strengthen himself as soon as possible. However, thinking about how he had not lost a single battle so far, who in the three countries could play with him? No matter how strong they were, he could always grasp their weaknesses and play with them in the palm of his hand.
And Dong Zhuo didn't have much time left to recover, as he would soon be killed by Lu Bu. He recalled that after Dong Zhuo was killed, Cai Yong cried that Dong Zhuo was executed by Wang Yun. Thinking of this, he thought of Cai Yan. He had not seen her for almost three years. Ever since he led his troops out of Luoyang, he had been very busy and rarely thought of her. She was the only beauty he knew here. Her elegant and classical charm made Zhao Xin's heart flutter. He thought about it and felt that he missed her. Could it be that he liked her?
When Cai Yong died, no one knew what would happen to Cai Yan. In history, she would marry Wei Zhongdao from the east of the river, and then she would be captured by the Xiongnu. In the end, Cao Cao pitied her talent and redeemed her from the hands of the Xiongnu King. Zhao Xin thought to himself that he was considered to have achieved success and fame at this time. It was better to send someone to investigate her news. If possible, he would bring the father and daughter to Runan.
Thinking of Cai Yan, he couldn't help but think of Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties. He thought of Wang Yun's bullsh * t scheme, offering Diao Chan to both Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, and then following Lu Bu. Lu Bu died and was captured by Cao Cao. His fate was really bumpy. Lu Bu had already harbored ill intentions towards Dong Zhuo at that time. He probably wanted to kill Dong Zhuo even more than Wang Yun. Poor Wang Yun was ignorant and had harmed Diao Chan. Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel angry. He couldn't change the bad habits of this era much, but it was good to change the fate of some people within his ability. It would be easy for him to get Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo. He could just set up a plan and guarantee that Lu Bu would fall for it.
At this moment, Yuan Shu, who was in Shouchun, was in a state of panic. Three days ago, the scouts reported that Xinyang had fallen. The people gathered here were discussing whether to lead troops to help Nanyang. They discussed for a day but did not come out. The next day, when they were discussing who would lead the troops, Lei Bao returned. Yuan Shu saw that Lei Bao had brought fifty men back alone and the thirty thousand soldiers had all been wiped out. He was furious and wanted to kill Lei Bao. Everyone begged him bitterly before he was spared.
When he found out that Zhao Xin had only brought 20,000 men to take down Xinyang, which had 30,000 soldiers, in two days, he cursed Lei Bo for being an idiot. He dragged Lei Bao down and beat him fifty times with the stick before he finally let out a sigh of relief. However, these fifty blows had beaten Lei Bao until he was on the verge of death.
At this moment, all the generals felt that Zhao Xin was very powerful. Moreover, with Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Dian Wei, who would dare to lead troops to help Nanyang? Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw that all the generals had lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
The place was still in chaos. The scouts had come to report that Nanyang had fallen, the defenders had been completely annihilated, and General Chen Ji had defected to the enemy. Yuan Shu was so shocked that he fell on his butt and couldn't stand up anymore. Yuan Shu knew that Zhao Xin was powerful, but he didn't know that Zhao Xin was so powerful.
This time, there was no need to talk about going out to battle. He quickly ordered people to guard Shouchun and sent out scouts from afar, afraid that Zhao Xin would lead the army to attack. On this side, Kuima sent people to Hefei to let General Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, and Le guard Hefei and not fight.
After waiting for half a month, seeing that Zhao Xin's army did not move, Yuan Shu's worried heart finally relaxed. He quickly sent people to various places in Huainan to recruit soldiers. A total of 30,000 troops were ordered to be trained. Seeing that Zhao Xin had no intention of attacking, he relaxed slightly.
On the other hand, Zhao Xin sent someone to Chang 'an with a memorial. Li Ru took it, looked at it, and ran to find Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo finished reading, he couldn't help but curse," Bastard Zhao Xin! Last year, he ambushed our army and robbed our army of countless money and food. Now, he still dares to send someone to ask for an official position. Men, send that messenger's head back to him." "
Li Ru hurriedly stopped him." Enxiang, wait a moment. Now that Zhao Xin has defeated Yuan Shu and obtained the land of Yuzhou, he has hundreds of thousands of troops under him. He also has Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Taishi Ci and other peerless fierce generals. He is the strongest among the vassals outside the Pass. Now the above table request official position, is to make peace with Sun En phase meaning, Sun En phase now should make friends with Zhao Xin as a strong aid to resist the vassals outside the pass. "
"What you said makes sense," Dong Zhuo said."Then we'll just grant him his request." "
"If En Xiangru wants to befriend Zhao Xin, he must not only grant his request, but also give him a generous reward," Li Ru said. "
"At the court meeting tomorrow," said Dong Zhuo,"the little Emperor can issue a decree. "
"Then who will you send to announce the decree?" Li Ru asked. "
"Who do you think is more suitable?" Dong Zhuo asked. "
"I heard that Cai Bo was close to Zhao Xin when he was in Luoyang," said Li Ru."It would be better to send him." "
"Then let Bo Xiong go," said Dong Zhuo. "
