Autumn was still the time for harvest.
Chang 'an had already received this news and received a commendation scroll from Cao Cao.
Among them, many people requested the court to confer official positions, including Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu, and Cao Cao himself.
His achievements were naturally great. He pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou and gathered more than 300,000 Yellow Turban remnants.
This was a feat that shocked the entire court, and no one dared to ignore it.
On this list, a name called Xu Zhen entered the eyes of the officials.
The Emperor was still under the control of Li Jue and Guo Si. After Dong Zhuo's death, they had fled and gathered the Western Liang army. They had returned to Chang 'an and forced Wang Yun and the other old officials to their deaths.
He had forced away Lu Bu and the other generals and controlled the emperor in order to protect his wealth and obtain the name of the orthodox Han Dynasty.
Now that the commendation was up, the two of them were naturally the first to see it.
Li Jue and Guo Si were from Xi Liang and were not very knowledgeable about government affairs. If they encountered a situation where they were short of rations, they could only rob!
But now, the refugees and commoners had all gone to Yanzhou to seek refuge with Cao Cao. The more people he had, the more prosperous everything would be. The most important thing was that the commoners had enough to eat. This was the most attractive thing.
"What do you think?" Li Jue didn't understand Cao Cao's intentions, but he felt that there must be a reason for this reward.
"If Cao Cao wants it, we can give it to him. A reward is just an empty title. As long as the emperor is still in our hands, he can't do anything.”Guo Si said indifferently.
The two of them were slowly beginning to have conflicts. Li Jue had secretly received Jia Xu's instructions to give Cao Cao the title, but not the money.
"But I don't know where this Wen Sheng called Xu Zhen came from.”Guo Si muttered this name in a strange manner.
" Yes, it was his idea to settle down the 300,000 Yellow Turban bandits. I've never heard of this person before," Li Jue paused and said." Not only that, I've asked the military counselor before, but he's never heard of this person either. He also said that if he was already knowledgeable, he wouldn't be unknown. At least the Xu brothers of Yuedan would have checked his reputation."”
" Hmm…Cao Cao has more and more capable people around him. Why don't we give Xu Zhen an official position?" Li Jue tried to persuade him." What do you think?"”
"What's the use of being an official?"
Li Jue continued,"Tomorrow, we will make a proposal and publicize this person with the Emperor's edict. This way, the other vassals will not be able to sit still and do nothing. They will not want to see Cao Cao's capable people around him. They will be able to borrow someone else's blade to kill this Xu Zhen."”
"Alright…"
Guo Si thought for a moment and nodded.
The two of them each had their own troops and controlled the government. There was also Jia Xu who was mediating. In reality, there were undercurrents surging.
For example, Li Jue's words were taught by Jia Xu.
Most of the old officials were Confucian scholars. Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the more civil officials they were, the weaker and more sour they were. Therefore, they were the most disliked by the generals.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty only existed in name.
……
A few days later.
Chen Liu.
Diannong Yamen Office had already counted all the grain. In order to store the grain, they had specially turned an entire ancient city into a grain storage land. It was really a bumper harvest.
The people and the Yellow Turban soldiers of Yanzhou had never had such a prosperous year. They had already begun to sing praises of Cao Cao.
In the fields, Xu Zhen was wearing a white official robe. He came back from the path and saw Cao Cao and Xun Yu waiting for him at the government office.
Thus, he quickened his pace and walked over. At this moment, there were quite a number of people who had come. They were all civil and military officials by Cao Cao's side. Bao Xin was also there. It seemed like he had specially come to see Xu Zhen.
"Yixuan! I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much!"
Cao Cao laughed out loud." The imperial court has bestowed you with the title of Commandant of Agriculture! Hahaha, you can lead the army now."
Xu Zhen was stunned and blurted out," No way? And lead troops?"
"Your soldiers can just escort the rations. What's the big deal? You're now my rear rations officer! I can't leave you. I'll give you 3,000 spots. You can choose any one of them and train them yourself! If you lack anything, ask Wen Ruo for it!"
Cao Cao finished his sentence in one breath and then pulled Xu Zhen's hand." Let's go drink and eat. I've asked someone to hunt deer. There's good deer meat and three jars that have been aged for thirty years. There's one more thing. You're twenty this year. It's time for you to start a family. I'll find you a good match!"”
"This is fine." Xu Zhen nodded honestly and said,""As long as it's pretty."
Cao Cao was stunned.
Xun Yu was also stunned. It could be said that all the scholars present were stunned.
So practical?
Even if a Confucian scholar wanted a beauty, he would have to reject it several times, and then reluctantly accept the lord's reward.
Xu Zhen, on the other hand, directly asked for it happily.
Cao Cao found it strange and asked,""Do you have someone in mind?"
Xu Zhen scratched his head." No, it doesn't seem to matter if I marry a few more, right?"”
I have the General System…My body can handle it.
Xu Zhen was not lecherous, but he honestly felt that it was a waste of a good policy to be faithful after transmigrating…
Cao Cao smacked his lips and his heart suddenly thumped. This kid's personality in this aspect, why is it a little…like mine?
"It seems to be fine, Xun Yu!"
Cao Cao straightened his back and shouted,"Send someone to look for them. If there are any good ones, give them to Yixuan!!”
"Here."
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was really pampering.
