Early August.
The vice-generals of the battalions returned with their troops.
Only then did the news of what had happened in Chen Liu spread among the generals.
Since things had come to this, Li Dian and the others had the heart to refute but could not do anything. They could only let the stall people enter the house to carry out the plan.
In more than half a month, a large number of officials were arrested and interrogated by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The crime books placed in the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion made people tremble in fear.
In the main hall of the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Whether it was the civil officials or the generals, they all respected Xiao Nan.
This was no longer just respect for his strategy, but fear from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it was recovering Xu Prefecture, setting up the five battalions, establishing the Jinyiwei, or implementing the policy of setting up stalls, Yanzhou had changed greatly. It was even independent of the twelve prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty and became the most peculiar prefecture.
"My lord!"
"The merits of each general have been tabulated!" Xi Zhicai said respectfully.”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said,""Let's put aside the matter of the First General for now. This morning, I received a message from the Brocade Guard. Guo Si deceived the Emperor and went to Lin County to expose himself. He has already escaped from the group returning to the east. The Emperor's group has also entered Hongnong County.”
"Welcome!"
Xiao Nan said decisively.
Xun Yu also stood up and echoed,"My Lord, what Xinzhi said is reasonable!"”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
In the hall, all the civil and military officials echoed.
Cao Cao frowned and said in a deep voice,"The Emperor wants to welcome him, but is the palace in Chen Liu?"”
"My lord!"
Xiao Nan stood up and smiled lightly." First, place the Emperor in Chenliu. Then, set up the palace in Xu County. When we move into Xu County, it will be the day we recover the Si Li!"”
"Xu County?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Cao Cao calculated and sighed,"The new military strategy is amazing!"
"What do you mean?"
Cao Ren asked in confusion.
Xiao Nan shook her feather fan and said with a faint smile,""Xu County is a special place. It is located at the border between Yingchuan and Chenliu. To the northwest is Mount Song, to the west is Mount Stoneman, Mount Baiyun, and other mountain ranges. To the south is the Dabie Mountains. Only the east is an open plain. To the north is Yuan Shao, to the southeast is Yuan Shu, to the south and southwest are Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, and to the east are Lu Bu and Liu Bei.”
"If we rebuild the capital, won't we be criticized?" Xun Yu said worriedly.”
"Wen Ruo!"
" Luoyang has been destroyed," Cao Cao said indifferently." Rebuilding it will require a large amount of military resources. Chang 'an has Li Jue. Even if we conquer it, we will be threatened by Xiliang, Jingzhou, and Yizhou. Xu County is the best choice!”
"Not bad!"
Xiao Nan nodded!
"That's good!" Xun Yu said helplessly.
Seeing this, Xiao Nan said," My lord, the internal affairs are being sorted out. All the battalions want to suppress the aristocrats in Yanzhou. I think General Yuan Rang and General Zilian will lead the second battalion to follow you. Zhongde can also accompany you!"”
"Hmm?"
The generals 'pupils constricted.
It seemed that Xiao Nan had intentionally or unintentionally placed the position of the first general on Xiahou Dun.
"Sir!"
"You're not being fair enough as the First General!" Cao Ren said bitterly.”
Xiao Nan turned his head and chuckled." It's not that I'm being unfair. It's just that Yuan Rang's achievements are indeed higher than yours. He protected East County with 2,000 soldiers, attracted Lu Bu's attack, blocked the Jinxiang Mountain Road, and recovered Ren Chengguo. He has already exceeded half of yours!”
Xiahou Yuan said helplessly," We were halfway through the battle when the lord ordered us to be summoned. Otherwise, we would have the merit of recovering the county. Besides, I also captured Wen Yuan!"”
"Cough cough!"
Zhang Liao coughed dryly.
"Wenyuan, I'm not looking down on you!" Xiahou Yuan quickly said.”
"I know!"
Zhang Liao said angrily.
Xiao Nan turned to look elsewhere.
He had pushed Xiahou Dun, a barbarian, to the position of First General on purpose.
If he didn't give these generals some encouragement, they would definitely be at the bottom in the future.
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were both generals, but none of the Five Generals of Cao Wei. The reason was that they had too many schemes for the family and relied too much on Cao Cao's identity.
Today's hatred was the glory of the future.
"That's it!"
Cao Cao guessed Xiao Nan's intention and said in a deep voice,""Three years later, I will re-appoint the first general and appoint five good generals. I will also recruit a historian to write a book for him!”
"Writing a book?"
The generals 'eyes widened.
There were very few generals who could write books, especially in this chaotic world.
Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice," Five good generals, you will become my backbone in the future. I hope you will continue to work hard!"”
"Here!"
The generals shouted.
Xiahou Dun's expression was complicated. He suddenly felt that the first general that was about to be in his hands was no longer good.
"Xinzhi!"
"Aren't you going with the army to welcome the Emperor in Hongnong?" Cao Cao asked.”
Xiao Nan sighed and said helplessly," I'm not going. I was born weak. I haven't rested for nearly half a year. I'm prepared to rest for a period of time!"”
"Alright!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiao Nan rubbed his chin and turned to look to the right, saying in a deep voice,""I have an ominous feeling. Only those who have ambition have the appearance of their Fated Star falling to the west. My Lord, it's better for you to find a few top doctors to take a look. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets in the future!”
"Gulp!"
Xi Zhicai gulped and said in horror,""Xinzhi, don't spout nonsense!"
"Really?"
Cao Cao stood up.
His voice was trembling.
He had no doubt about Xiao Nan's prophetic ability. Was Xi Zhicai really going to die?
