Jia Xu gave up.
The war in Nanyang had been settled.
The construction of the Valiant Cavalry House was completely handed over to Pei Mao and Li Dian.
One of them was famous in his previous life, while the other was famous in this life. However, it was not a problem for them to defend Wan City.
On the fourth day.
The army began to return to Xuchang.
At the same time, he ordered Xuchang to send officials to deal with Nanyang's internal affairs.
In this battle, Nanyang was taken back without a single soldier being used, and the vassals of the five states were terrified.
Xu Prefecture.
Xiapi City.
Liu Bei's eyes were bloodshot.
Ever since Xuzhou was lost and Lü Bu shot his halberd at the Yuan Gate, he had been living in Xiapi City.
Today, after news of Zhang Xiu surrendering and Nanyang being conquered by Cao Cao spread, his desire to support the Han Dynasty had begun to crumble!
"My lord!"
Mi Zhu sighed." Cao Mengde is now very powerful. The three auxiliary regions have been conquered, and Western Liang has sent in hostages. They have occupied Yanzhou, half of Yuzhou, and Nanyang County. Their power is already on par with Yuan Shao in the north!”
"Not bad!"
Jian Yong echoed.
Sun Qian frowned." We shouldn't have attacked Huainan in the first place. This is Cao Mengde holding the Son of Heaven hostage to command the princes!"”
"Are you blaming me?"
Zhang Fei stood up and asked angrily.
Sun Qian's heart trembled. He gritted his teeth and said," Third General, what do you want?”
"Yi De!"
"Third brother!"
Liu Bei and Guan Yu shouted coldly.
Xu Prefecture had been taken away by Lu Bu, and although they were unwilling, the problem wasn't with Sun Qian.
"Humph!"
Zhang Fei snorted in embarrassment.
The gaze he looked at Tancheng became colder.
"My lord!"
Mei Zhu rubbed his face and said with a complicated expression," We can't stay in Xuzhou anymore. Cao Cao has taken Runan and Nanyang, and his troops have entered the three auxiliary areas to protect Xuchang. His next conquest will be Xuzhou. If we stay here, we will die!”
"Zizhong!"
"I still want to take back Xuzhou!" Liu Bei said unwillingly.”
Mi Zhu smiled bitterly." My lord, it would be fine if it was Cao Cao. However, the Marquis of Beishou has killed countless people. I suspect that Chen Qun's reform and the deaths of Dong Cheng, Yang Biao, and the others are all related to him. If my lord is with Cao Cao, I'm afraid something will happen!"”
"Who are you?"
Liu Bei's body shook.
Mi Zhu nodded and sighed." Xiao Bei will definitely not allow my lord to expand. Once Xuzhou is taken down, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will definitely have a fight. No matter who wins, they will become the overlord of the north. I thought that while Nanyang has just been pacified, we would enter Jingzhou and find a way out. We might be able to help Liu Jingzhou take back Nanyang!”
"Second!"
Sun Qian and Jian Yong stood up and said.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice,""Elder brother, let's go to Jing state first. After we meet with Liu Biao, we will make a decision!”
"Me too!"
Zhang Fei's eyes were filled with anger.
"Let's go!"
Liu Bei's gaze was lonely.
Once, he had the ambition to march eastward into Xu Prefecture, thinking that he could become an overlord. In the end, he still asked for someone's protection.
If he had listened to Chen Qun and stayed in Xiao Pei to seize the opportunity to conquer Yu Province, he might have been a different person.
Two days later.
Liu Bei packed his things.
He brought the civil and military officials and less than two thousand soldiers out of Xiapi.
Before leaving, Liu Bei stared at the huge city tower, his eyes filled with unwillingness."One day, I, Liu Xuande, will kill my way back to the Northern Lands, kill the Cao rebels, revive the Han Dynasty, and burn Xiao Xinzhi's bones to ashes!”
"My lord!"
"Let's go!"
Mi Zhu urged his horse forward.
"Giddyup!"
Liu Bei spurred his horse and jumped.
He headed toward Runan Jiangxia and prepared to enter Jingzhou via the waterway.
It was the end of the seventh day.
Cao Cao and his army returned to Xuchang.
In the main hall of the Beishou Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Bei had just sat down when the system's notification sounded in his mind!
"Ding! The process of subverting history has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Crossbow chariot manufacturing method, six years of elementary education plan, wheat planting technique, Mo knife manufacturing method, characteristic Army Destroyer!”

“??”
Xiao Bei was dumbfounded.
What happened? His progress instantly increased by 20 points.
If he had changed fate and saved Cao Ang and Dian Wei, he wouldn't have received such a huge reward!
"Marquis Beishou!"
Man Chong hurried over.
Xiao Bei's pupils constricted as he said,"Bo Ning, something big has happened?"”
"Yes!"
Man Chong's eyes were filled with seriousness as he said hoarsely,""Xu State Brocade Guard has reported that on your way back, Liu Bei received news of Nanyang falling. He decisively withdrew from Xiapi and headed for Jiangxia.”
"It shouldn't be!"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with doubt.
In his memory, Liu Bei would still rely on Cao Cao, then run to Yuan Shao, and finally, Guan Yu would pass the five passes and kill six generals, and meet Zhao Yun on the road. Why was he heading to Jingzhou now? It didn't make sense at all!
"Marquis Beishou!"
" The Prime Minister asked me to ask," Man Chong said solemnly." This matter cannot be stopped. Will it affect the war to attack Xu Prefecture?"”
"I won't!"
Xiao Bei rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
His butterfly wings were flapping too violently, causing the plot to go astray. No wonder the system had changed so much.
"That's good!"
Man Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bei said in a deep voice,"The battle of Xu Prefecture is inevitable. Tell the Prime Minister that it's best to hold a meeting in two days. After the meeting, the Rong Residence will welcome a revolution. At the same time, we will prepare to pacify the north!"”
"Here!"
Man Chong left the hall.
"It changed!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with solemnity.
In the past, he could rely on his foresight.
Now, he would probably have to display his talents and fight with the martial arts of the Three Kingdoms.
On the second day, Zhang Xiu replaced Li Dian as the deputy general of the second battalion, Jia Xu entered the Prime Minister's residence as an aide, and Zou Shi also became a fifth rank imperial edict as she wished.
Another day passed.
Cao Cao convened a meeting.
Xun Yu and the six assistant ministers, as well as the generals of the Rong Mansion, all entered the mansion.
"Marshal Xiao!"
"Marquis Beishou!"
Generals are respected by generals, and civil officials are honored by titles.
At the same time, it also let Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu understand Xiao Bei's status in the Prime Minister's Estate!
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei sat down with a frown.
"Xinzhi, what's with the frown?" Cao Cao asked as he approached.”
"It's a small matter!"
Xiao Bei shook his feather fan and said in a low voice,"Prime Minister, Liu Xuande's departure to Jingzhou is indeed beyond my expectations. However, we cannot delay the battle of Xuzhou next year.”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
Ever since the establishment of the Rong Manor, this was the first time Xiao Bei had been so anxious to deploy troops.
"Hanoi!"
Xiao Bei walked to the side of the map and pointed at the land of Si Li with his feather fan. He said in a deep voice,"Right now, we are marching into Sanfu and going south to Wancheng. We are not strong enough to fight Yuan Shao in the north. Next year, we will need to mobilize a large army to attack Xuzhou. I think we will enter Hanoi and threaten Yuan Benchu's Ye City so that he will not dare to send an army to attack Xuchang.”
"Brilliant plan!"
Guo Jia suddenly stood up.
Xun You also said,"If the army enters Hanoi, it will be a force that cannot be ignored in the future, whether it is to attack Xiliang or cross the river to fight Yuan Shao!"”
"I agree!"
Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu, and the others echoed.
Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and the others looked at Xiao Bei expectantly, eager to give it a try.
"Xinzhi!"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and asked," If we take Hanoi, we will also have the Henan Governor in our hands. In the battle between the two counties, we might have to face the threat of Yuan Benchu. Are you going to fight in person?"”
"No thanks!"
Xiao Bei shook his head.
"This general requests to fight!"
Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Le Jin stood up immediately.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and said in a low voice,"Appoint the Bureau of Military Personnel's Central Army Lieutenant Shi Huan as the Middle Commander, the Fifth Battalion's Deputy General Xu Huang as the Middle Commander, establish the Middle Commander's Office, command 20,000 troops, and send troops to the Si Li within two months!”
"What?"
Cao Ren and the others had a mental breakdown.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but ask,"Commander Xiao, I admit that I'm not weaker than Shi Gongliu!"”
"Wonderful talent!"
Cao Cao's face darkened.
Xiahou Yuan lowered his head and said," Prime Minister, I have no intention of questioning Marshal Xiao. I just want to know that we are not inferior to them in terms of talent. No one in Xuchang can compare to us in terms of loyalty. Why are we not in the three prefectures?"”
"Bastard!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with rage.
He did not know why Xiao Bei did not use the people of the two races.
However, the irreplaceable Marquis of Beishou from Rong Manor was unquestionable. Otherwise, everything would be over.
"You want to know?"
Xiao Bei returned to his seat and said indifferently,"Do you all want to know?"”
"Please punish me!"
"Please punish me!"
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun all half-knelt in front of Xiao Bei.
I'm going to ask for punishment.
It meant that they wanted to know.
At the same time, he also admitted his mistakes.
However, this scene was too shocking. Cao Cao was still in the main seat, and the people of the Cao and Xiahou families knelt down to offend Xiao Bei. Even Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and the other elders could not accept it.
Cao Cao's face darkened." What are you doing? Are you trying to suppress your superior?"”
"Please punish me!"
Everyone shouted resolutely again.
They wanted to know why they didn't use Cao and Xiahou.
If Xiao Bei was really just afraid, then there was no need to. If he was not talented enough, they would definitely not admit it!
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei shook his head and said with a smile,"It's not that serious. The reason is that you can fight and are loyal enough to risk your lives for the great cause of the Prime Minister. If it was a peaceful world, you would definitely be able to send the military headquarters to guard an area, but it's not possible now because the main force facing the enemy is the five battalions of the Rong Manor. If you leave, who will I use?"”
"I know my mistake!"
The generals were instantly embarrassed.
This time, they were really using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman.
"Humph!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly and scolded," Get up! Look at what you are like! The five battalions of the Rong Family are the main forces. How many achievements have you made in every battle?”
"Here!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up.
Xiao Bei waved his hand and said indifferently,"Zhicai, I hope that nothing will happen to the logistics army. After all, your responsibility in the Ministry of War is getting heavier and heavier. Be careful that someone surpasses you and becomes the Minister of War!"”
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai's face turned green.
Ever since he became an official in Cao Cao, he had been conscientious and conscientious.
He did not expect that his years of accumulation would be destroyed by one person.
Right now, he wished he could kill Cao Anmin, who was detained in Xuchang Prison.
"Prime Minister!"
Xiao Bei took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice,"If we can take down Hanoi, I think we should immediately transfer Mao Jie to Henan Province and let him handle the political affairs of the two counties at the same time. This person has the talent to govern the people. With a little tempering, he will be able to become a provincial governor!"”
"Good!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiao Bei continued,"Wen Ruo has always been in charge of internal affairs. I shouldn't have asked about the six departments, but now I want to ask, how many officials do the Ministry of Personnel have?"”
"No more!"
Xun Yu's expression was solemn." Nanyang and the three auxiliary regions have sent many people. The internal affairs of the three auxiliary regions have collapsed, and there are still many officials in the three auxiliary regions. Changwen has repeatedly submitted letters!”
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Cao Cao knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,""We will temporarily recruit a portion from the Recruitment Hall. After taking office, the Ministry of Personnel will consider it carefully. The capable will be promoted to the mediocre. We will first stabilize the internal affairs of Nanyang and the three auxiliary departments!”
"Prime Minister, Xun Lingjun!"
Xiao Bei said again,"I thought the academy could be built. If we take down Xuzhou, how will we govern it? If the internal affairs cannot catch up with the military, the disaster will be far greater than a strong enemy who has four states!"”
"I agree!"
Xun Yu said respectfully.
Cao Cao rubbed his brows and said," Xinzhi, I know what you're thinking. However, the Recruitment Hall has attracted many talents, but we don't have much experience in building an academy!”
"I'll do it!"
Xiao Bei said solemnly.
"You're weak," Cao Cao said worriedly,"can you be so busy with government affairs?"”
"Weak body?"
Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and the others widened their eyes.
This was especially true for Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu. They had seen Xiao Bei draw a two-stone bow at Luo Wu Pass. His archery was even more accurate than their generals!
"No worries!"
Xiao Bei smiled faintly and said,"As long as the Prime Minister agrees and the Ministry of Revenue transfers money, I can build an academy that far surpasses Hongdu School and Jixia Learning Palace. Of course, I still need the support of the Shangshu Platform!"”
"You want money?"
Zhong Yao's face darkened.
He looked like he didn't have any money, but his life.
Just the amount of money that was transferred from the Rong Manor in a year was more than ten million. The Ministry of Revenue under his control was so worried that their heads were turning white in order to raise money!
"Rich?"
Cao Cao gave Cheng Yu a look.
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, looking as if he did not lack money.
"Open!"
"I have to open it!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said decisively," I will think of a way to get money. You can set up the academy without worry. The academy is the future of the people and the future of the court. If you can successfully set it up, you won't have to worry about having officials to manage the people!”
"Here!"
Xiao Bei smiled.
