As expected.
Everything was as expected.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion were stationed at the four gates, and even Cao Ren was chased out of the city.
For a time, a storm was brewing inside Chen Liu.
The next day.
Xiao Nan handed over the documents of the servants entering the house and the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Moreover, he stayed in the Prefecture Overseer Manor alone and plotted with Cao Cao for half a day before leaving.
On the third day, he disappeared and hid in the dark, becoming Cao Cao's killing weapon.
A few days later.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xi Zhicai organized the first trial in Chenliu.
On the day of the announcement, all the commoners cried tears of joy. The huge Prefecture Overseer Manor was surrounded by people. Some people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to praise Cao Cao's good governance of Yanzhou.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
On a watchtower.
Cao Cao sighed,"I was wrong!"”
"Hmm?"
Xiao Nan asked in confusion.
Cao Cao mocked himself," Back then, I said that I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me. Now, I understand that the hearts of the people are a sharp sword, and this sword is in Liu Bei's hands!”
"Haha!"
Xiao Nan shook his feather fan and said," The people are the water, and the ruler is the boat. The water can carry the boat but it can also capsize it. My lord, don't underestimate the will of the people. Only a small family can have a big country. This is the cornerstone of a prosperous dynasty. If Yanzhou continues like before, even if the world is peaceful, it will collapse in less than a hundred years!”
"I've learned my lesson!"
Cao Cao laughed.
"I also didn't expect that the lord actually agreed to set up a stall!"”
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with seriousness as he said,""How could I not know about the disaster of the Shi clan? It's good that you can think of a way to deal with it today. If you can't, it'll just be a failure to speak up. It's not that I'm aggrieved because I'm being refuted by my subordinates!”
"I wouldn't dare!"
Xiao Nan smiled indifferently.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said hopefully,""Xinzhi, what do you think of Ang 'er?”
Xiao Nan rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice,""Zixiu has a military strategy and a talent for governing the world. As a successor, he might not be as good as the Lord in the future. The most valuable thing is that Zixiu is respectful to the Lord and humble to others, which is beneficial to his growth!”
"That's good!"
"Xinzhi, I want you to be his teacher!" Cao Cao sighed in relief.”
"Me?"
"Teacher?"
Xiao Nan was dumbfounded.
If Cao Cao ascended the throne and Cao Ang became the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, wouldn't he become the Crown Prince's tutor and the future teacher of the Emperor?
"Are you unwilling?"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"My lord, aren't you afraid that I'll teach Zixiu a bad lesson?" Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes.”
"I won't!"
Cao Cao said solemnly," Although you don't seem to care about anything, this matter concerns the people's livelihood and the direction of my general trend. You will speak up and interfere. Moreover, your plans will definitely hit the mark. This is a true sage!"”
Xiao Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Alright, it's fine to teach Zixiu for the time being. But what about the money that the lord owes?？”
"Eh?"
Cao Cao was stunned.
Xiao Nan sighed with emotion,"The Xiao manor has raised five hundred Tiger Guards, but the lord has never given them any rations!"”
"Cough cough!"
Cao Cao coughed dryly and said," I will send someone to deliver the money in a few days. There will also be food for the Tiger Guards. If you have anything, you can ask Wen Ruo for it. If you don't want it, I don't know what you lack!"”
"You can give me money, but you're not allowed to touch the soil!" Xiao Nan smiled faintly.”
"Good!"
Cao Cao's mouth twitched.
He knew that Cheng Yu's secret actions could not be hidden from Xiao Nan.
"Swoosh!"
Xiao Nan shook his feather fan and said in a deep voice,""Yanzhou has just been pacified. The soldiers of the various battalions are about to return!”
Cao Cao nodded and said," That's right. The battle report has been sent back yesterday. The matter of sealing the city can also be lifted. Now, the matter has been settled. If the Chen Liu aristocratic families dare to resist, they will become enemies with all the people!”
"Yes, I am!"
Xiao Nan nodded.
Yanzhou pacified, the implementation of the reform of the time.
Jizhou.
Wei County, Ye City, the state shepherd's house.
Yuan Shao placed the imperial edict on the table and rubbed the space between his eyebrows."Everyone, this is already the third edict from the emperor. He hopes that our army can enter Si Li and protect it!”
"My lord!"
Ju Shou stepped forward and said,"The Son of Heaven wants to welcome you. When the time comes, you can serve the Son of Heaven and punish the disobedient!"”
"I agree!"
Tian Feng stood up and said.
"No!"
"You can't do this!"
"My lord, now that the situation in Jizhou has been stabilized, we are negotiating with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou!”
"If we welcome the emperor, I'm afraid that Jizhou will lose. Moreover, if the emperor comes to Jizhou, he will definitely build a palace, which will be a huge expense for us. In front of the emperor, we have to ask the emperor for instructions whenever we do anything. Our actions will be restricted instead, which is tantamount to putting a shackle on ourselves!”
Guo Tu stepped forward and glared at the two of them, refuting them.
"I agree!"
Chunyu Qiong, Feng Ji, and the others stood up and said.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed." In that case, I'll tell the angel that Youzhou wants to start a war with Jizhou and can't get away to welcome the emperor. Let him return to Luoyang by himself!"”
"Lord is wise!"
Guo Tu heaved a sigh of relief and complimented.
"My lord!"
Qiushou's eyes were filled with shock.
He didn't understand why Yuan Shao would give up the opportunity to expand his influence and exclude the emperor.
