On the other side, in Zhang Yu's mansion, Zhang Yu was hugging Diao Chan's flexible waist, enjoying the beauty's alluring gentleness in his arms!
The two of them chatted and laughed while being gentle and sweet. They were very happy!
At this moment, Cao Cao's guards came again, saying that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou had rebelled and that the lord had asked the young general to go!
Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt quite helpless!
He had spent half a month with great difficulty and was just about to take Diao Chan down when Cao Cao came to ruin the atmosphere!
Hence, Zhang Yu stood up with an ugly expression!
Seeing Zhang Yu's expression, Diao Chan smiled and said!
"General, please don't be angry. Ever since I entered the General's residence, I've long regarded myself as one of the General's people!”
Diao Chan's face turned a little red as she spoke up to this point!
"When General returns from this battle, I will obey General!”
With Diao Chan's promise, Zhang Yu's worries turned into joy. He put on his armor, lifted his silver spear, and rode his white horse straight to Cao Cao's mansion!
Zhang Yu naturally understood that this battle was the beginning of Cao Cao's rise!
After this battle, Cao Cao finally had the foundation to dominate the world and the powerful Qingzhou Army!
However, when Cao Cao heard that a million Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou were heading south, he was naturally worried!
After seeing Zhang Yu arrive, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed!
When Zhang Yu arrived at Cao Cao's residence, he found it strange that the Governor of Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, was also here!
Seeing Zhang Yu arrive, Cao Cao seemed to have found his savior and immediately spoke!
"Mu Jun, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, led his army to fight the Yellow Turban bandits and died on the spot. Now, the million Yellow Turban soldiers in Qingzhou have already broken through East County and are heading straight for Chen Liu!”
Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Yu's expression changed slightly. However, it was not because of the pressure brought by the million Yellow Turban soldiers!
It was excitement!
Previously, Zhang Yu had said that after the dukes were dismissed, Cao Cao's reputation would rise to a new level, attracting many talents from all over the world!
At the same time, he hoped that Cao Cao would give the battle generals a fair chance to compete!
Now, this opportunity had come!
Therefore, unlike the others who were frowning, Zhang Yu's expression changed slightly after hearing this. Then, he laughed out loud!
Seeing Zhang Yu laughing, everyone was puzzled!
On the other hand, Xi Zhicai already had some plans in his heart. He looked at Zhang Yu with admiration!
As one of the top wise men in the world, how could Xi Zhicai not know that the million Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou had entered Yanzhou and killed all the prefects and provincial governors!
The one who would benefit the most would naturally be Cao Cao, who had nowhere to go!
Hence, Cao Cao asked in confusion!
"Why are you laughing, Lord Mu? Now that a million Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou have entered Yanzhou and the Provincial Governor has died in battle, how should we respond?”
Zhang Yu looked around the generals and said after hearing Cao Cao's words!
"Although there are a million Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, that's only in name. At most, there are only 800,000 people, including a large number of old, weak, women, and children!”
" In that case, there are only about 200,000 to 300,000 young warriors. Besides, the Road of Peace that swept across the entire world was quickly extinguished!”
"How much of the Yellow Turban Army's true combat power can be displayed without any training?”
"Now that all the officers in Yanzhou have died in battle, it's time for you to take control of Yanzhou. The only thing standing in your way now is the million Yellow Turban soldiers!”
"If we defeat him and subdue his young and strong combat strength, the various counties of Yanzhou will naturally submit. At that time, my lord will be the ruler of Yanzhou and will be ranked among the strongest vassals in the world!”
"With a hundred thousand soldiers, it's enough to make Dong Zhuo an enemy. At that time, wouldn't it be great to save His Majesty and restore the Han Dynasty?”
As Zhang Yu said this, Cao Cao was stunned at first. However, when he heard Zhang Yu's words, the endless pride in his heart was completely stimulated!
This was also the first time Zhang Yu had officially addressed him as his lord, which made Cao Cao feel even more carefree!
That's right, if what Zhang Yu said was true, this would be the best time for Cao Cao to achieve the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period!
The highest ranking officers of Yanzhou had all died in battle, leaving Yanzhou without a leader. If Cao Cao could quickly quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and gain military achievements, would he still be afraid of not being able to control Yanzhou?
At that time, he would have Yanzhou to develop his armaments and take in the million Yellow Turban people. That would be enough to fight Dong Zhuo!
At this thought, Cao Cao immediately said!
"Lord Mu is right, but the Yellow Turban army has a million soldiers, and our army only has a little more than ten thousand. How can we deal with the enemy?”
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Zhang Yu could not help but look at Zhang Miao!
"Governor Zhang, now that all of Yanzhou has fallen, it will be Chen Liu's turn next. Do you think you can resist a million Yellow Turbans on your own?”
Facing Zhang Yu's question, Zhang Miao was also a little embarrassed, but he understood what Zhang Yu meant!
"I naturally can't do that. However, Meng De has a fierce general like General Zhang Yu under him. He has more than ten thousand soldiers, so he might be able to put up a fight!”
"In order to ensure the stability of Yanzhou, I am willing to resign from my position as Governor of Chen Liu and hand over all my troops to Meng De!”
"For the sake of the people of Yanzhou, please win this battle!”
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Zhang Yu was also amused!
This Zhang Miao was really a smart person. Because now, all the mayors and dukes in Yanzhou had died in battle, leaving him as the only prefect of Chen Liu!
In terms of official positions, Zhang Miao was above Cao Cao, so it was not easy to make him willingly call out his military power!
Of course, Cao Cao's current strength was much stronger than Zhang Miao's, so Zhang Miao was still a smart person!
If he submitted to Cao Cao directly, he would be able to continue to enjoy glory and wealth in the future. Otherwise, Zhang Yu would not mind sending him to meet the King of Hell!
As expected, when Cao Cao heard this, although he was overjoyed, he still refused on the surface!
However, after Zhang Miao's repeated requests, Cao Cao still agreed, and Zhang Miao continued to be the prefect of Chen Liu!
With this, including Chen Liu's five thousand soldiers, Cao Cao had a total of fifteen thousand soldiers!
By the way, Xu Rong, who was captured by Zhang Yu, had also surrendered under Cao Cao's pacification!
At the same time, letters seeking help from various places in Yanzhou were also gathered in Chen Liu. The prefectural governors of various places did not have enough troops and could not resist the million Yellow Turban soldiers!
Right now, their only savior was Cao Cao, who was still in Chen Liu!
Since he had decided on the direction of the battle, Cao Cao looked around at the generals and gave the order!
"Yanzhou is our hometown. No matter what, we can't be harassed by the Yellow Turban Army. Otherwise, after the city falls, the people will suffer heavy casualties!”
"Since everyone is willing to serve me, Cao Cao, as their master, I will lead the army to fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army. I will appoint Zhang Yu as the vanguard, Gao Shun and Yue Jin as the deputy generals, and lead five thousand men to set off first!”
"The rest of the generals, follow my main force to East County and fight the Yellow Turban Army!”
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a guard came to report that three scholars had come to see Cao Cao!
