The citizens who were originally panicking ran around to tell each other.
"Open the door! Come out quickly, the siege of the Yellow Turban is over!”
"Have you heard? The leader of the Yellow Turban Army didn't even manage to block Prefecture Overseer Liu's attack!”
"Prefecture Overseer Liu is like a god descending to the mortal world! With just one move, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was split in half!”
……
The news spread like wildfire.
Slowly, not only Changyi City, but all the places in Yanzhou received the news.
……
Yanzhou.
In the northwest corner of Shanyang County, there was a county city called East County.
In the East County Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, a bearded man who was less than seven feet tall was buried in the table.
He was the Governor of East County, Cao Cao!
After a long time, he put down the scroll in his hand, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
Since the 18 marquises attacked Dong, Cao Cao had been guarding Jizhou and under Yuan Shao's protection.
This made Cao Cao very distressed.
Fortunately, the East County of Yanzhou was in danger because of the Black Mountain Thieves.
Cao Cao keenly realized that this was a good opportunity!
He contacted Chen Gong and the others in Yanzhou, and with their support, he defeated the Black Mountain Bandits and entered East County.
Only then did he truly have his own territory.
Of course!
He was Cao Cao, so he naturally wasn't willing to accept a mere county like East County.
The opportunity had finally come!
As a result, Qingzhou's Yellow Turban bandits attacked Yanzhou, killed Ren City's Prime Minister Zheng Sui, and occupied Yanzhou's Ren City County.
After that, the Yellow Turban bandits invaded Dongping. The former Yanzhou governor, Liu Dai, took the initiative to attack, but he was taken advantage of by the Yellow Turban bandits and died in the chaotic army.
Cao Cao was overjoyed!
He immediately asked Chen Gong and his good friend Bao Xin to help him seize Yanzhou!
However, what he didn't expect was that not long after Chen Gong and Bao Xin set off, an imperial edict suddenly arrived!
The only son of the former Yanzhou governor, Liu Dai, Liu Xu, was conferred the title of Yanzhou Prefecture Overseer!
When this news came out, he was shocked!
However, when he thought of Liu Xu's profligate appearance, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and let Chen Gong and Bao Xin continue to help him obtain the position of the Prefecture Overseer.
A tall and thin man was standing beside Cao Cao.
He was a loyal actor.
Seeing Cao Cao's thoughtful expression, Xi Zhicai's face revealed a faint smile.
"Don't worry, my lord! With Chen Gongtai and Bao Yuncheng stepping out, the position of Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou would definitely be in his hands!”
Cao Cao praised,"He who knows me is a talent!"”
"What I'm worried about isn't whether Chen Gong and Bao Xin can succeed!"
With Chen Gong and Bao Xin's abilities, how could a mere Liu Xu be a match for them?
What I'm worried about is that edict!”
He let out a long sigh.
Before he had even sent troops to attack the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou, he had already requested the imperial court to grant his only son, Liu Xu, the title of Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou!
Zhicai, I haven't figured this out yet!
Could it be that Liu Dai knew that he would die?
But if he knew that he would die, why would he attack?”
Xi Zhicai's face also revealed a trace of confusion.
However, he immediately shook his head with a smile and said,"My lord, it's useless to think about this now!
We might as well focus our energy on the Yellow Turban thief's response.
Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are powerful, we still need to take care of them!”
"The Yellow Turban bandits are nothing but clay chickens and clay dogs!”Cao Cao looked disdainful." I, Cao Cao, defeated Du and Bai Rao in East County last year and took control of East County in one fell swoop.
Those Yellow Turban thieves were just defeated by me! Now that they had made a comeback, it was just so-so!”
Xi Zhicai frowned slightly.
For some reason, a hint of worry rose in his heart.
Although the Yellow Turban bandits had low combat strength, they had to be careful when dealing with the millions of Yellow Turban bandits in such a terrifying number.
Just as he was about to remonstrate, a guard ran in from outside.
"My lord, there's urgent news from Shanyang County!" He bowed to Cao Cao.”
Cao Cao was startled, but he immediately nodded and said,"Bring it up!"”
The guard handed the report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took it and opened it, his expression changing drastically.
"My lord, is there any news from Shanyang County?" Xun Yu asked doubtfully.”
Cao Cao handed the information to Xi Zhicai and said,""The Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandits split up. One of the leaders, Geng Ling, will lead twenty to thirty thousand men to surround Changyi City!
Now, Changyi City had already cut off contact with the outside world!”
The next moment, he slammed the table and stood up abruptly."Chen Gong and Bao Xin are currently in Changyi City. If anything happens to them, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace!
I want to send troops! Send troops to resolve the siege of Changyi!"
As he spoke, he pressed the sword at his waist and was about to walk out.
Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao was about to send out his troops and hurriedly reached out to stop him,"Lord, wait!"
He took a few steps forward and came to Cao Cao's side.""Lord, it's not a good time to send troops!"
Cao Cao stopped in his tracks, a smile on his face.
However, when he turned around and looked at Xi Zhicai, the smile on his face had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a face full of doubt.
"Zhicai, why is that?" he asked in surprise.”
"Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandits have surrounded Changyi City. This is a godsend opportunity, my lord!”
Xi Zhicai smiled and said,""Originally, I still needed some planning to take down the Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou.
But now, the position of the Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou has been secured!”
"Why?" Cao Cao asked.
However, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said,"Could it be that Zhicai's intention is to use the hands of the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou to get rid of that profligate son, the new Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou, Liu Xu?”
He turned around and slammed his palm on the hilt of his sword.""Hiss…In that case, this is really a heaven-sent opportunity!
However, Chen Gong and Bao Xin were both in Changyi. If I do this, Chen Gong and Bao Xin will be in danger!”
"Otherwise!" Xi Zhicai waved his hand and smiled." With Chen Gongtai and Bao Yuncheng's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for them to defend Changyi City for a few days!
In this way, when the Yellow Turban bandits of Qingzhou surrounded the city, not only could they get rid of Liu Xu without anyone knowing, but they could also force those people from the Prefecture Overseer's Office of Yanzhou to make a decision!
When the time is right, we will send out our troops and resolve the siege of Changyi!
Then the great event will be completed!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao sat back down on the praying mat and said with a proud expression,"In this way, everyone will be loyal and grateful to me!
I even let everyone in Yanzhou see my strength!
The Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou naturally fell into my hands!”
He stretched out his hand, and the five fingers on his right hand slowly rotated as if everything was in his palm.
Then, he clapped his hands and chuckled. Such a plan to kill several birds with one stone was really wonderful!”
