Xuzhou, Pengcheng.
The eight hundred Snow Dragon Cavalry, as well as the Gan father and daughter, were all moved to Peng City by Xu Xiao.
To be precise, Xiao Pei was not under the jurisdiction of the Xu Prefecture Governor.
However, in the current Yuzhou.
There are despotic, aristocratic families, yellow turbans, Yuzhou governor's decree can not be issued by the governor's office.
It could be said.
The current Yuzhou was a mess!
Xiaopei was close to Xuzhou. If Tao Qian said that Xiaopei was from Xuzhou, the governor of Yuzhou would not be able to say anything!
After moving to Pengcheng, Xu Xiao let Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang temporarily lead the small Pei County order to guard this place.
At the same time.
Xu Xiao also removed Zuo Rong's Xiapi Minister, Zhao Yu's Guangling Prefecture, Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Cavalry Commandant.
Since they had already become enemies.
Xu Xiao naturally wouldn't give the enemy another chance!
If Zuo Rong, Zhao Yu, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan disobeyed, they would be bandits in Xu Prefecture!
Xu Xiao had a reason to send troops to suppress the bandits!
At the Provincial Governor's Office.
Xu Xiao sat quietly while Gan Qian played a tune.
After bringing Gan Qian to Peng City, Xu Xiao took in Gan Qian as his concubine and stayed in the Provincial Governor's Office.
Although he had already promised to marry Mi Zhu's sister, Mi Zhen, with three letters and six ceremonies.
However, the three books and six rituals were time-consuming.
In addition, Xu Xiao had to pacify Xu Prefecture first before marrying Mi Zhen. It would take at least a year and a half.
And taking Gan Qian as a concubine was very simple!
After the matchmaker talked, both parties handed over their birth characters and signed the marriage contract. It was considered a success.
Xu Xiao and Gan Qian were originally a couple. In addition, Xu Xiao did not hesitate to kill Zhang Fei in anger for Gan Qian and drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou.
In Gan Qian's heart, Xu Xiao had long become an unshakable hero!
At this moment.
Mi Zhu requests an audience.
Xu Xiao waved his hand slightly. Gan Qian stood up and returned to the inner court.
Mi Zhu was still the governor of Xu Prefecture. Since he had come, he naturally had to discuss military and political matters.
Gan Qian wasn't a woman who didn't understand etiquette, so she naturally avoided him.
"My lord, there is news from Xiapi. Zuo Rong killed the officials of Xiapi and led his troops to Guangling to join Zhao Yu!”
It turned out that even though Ze Rong had spoken harshly at the banquet, he was actually scared to death.
Even though he had thousands of soldiers.
However, Liu Bei had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as his allies, and his 3,000-strong army had been defeated.
Zuo Rong did not have the confidence to fight with Xu Xiao. He returned to Xiapi overnight and loaded more than ten carts with his assets. Then, he led his troops to Guangling.
Guangling was far away from Pengcheng, and Yangzhou was to the south.
Ze Rong had already planned it out.
If Zhao Yu couldn't defeat Xu Xiao, Zuo Rong would go to Yangzhou and seek refuge with the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Yao!
"Pass down my order, let Cao Bao lead the troops to intercept Ze Rong!”
Mi Zhu hesitated." My Lord, Cao Bao may be the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers, but he is not good at leading troops in battle. Although he is loyal to Tao Qian, he is as timid as a mouse. If we let him intercept Zuo Rong, I reckon that Zuo Rong has already fled to Guangling. Cao Bao will not be able to reach Xiapi!"”
"Tell Cao Bao that since Ze Rong has run away, he doesn't need to come back!" Xu Xiao said nonchalantly.”
Mi Zhu was shocked." This…If we order him like this, Cao Bao might disobey!"”
"Disobeying orders?" Xu Xiao chuckled. Do you think he would dare to disobey orders?"
Disobeying orders was good!
Just disobey the order and kill him.
Xu Xiao only promised to let Tao Qian's two sons be rich and noble, and did not say to let Tao Qian's trusted aide Cao Bao be rich and noble.
The Elixir Yang soldiers were the most elite troops in Xu Prefecture.
However, one general was useless and exhausted the entire army!
With Cao Bao around, the Scarlet Yang Soldiers could not unleash even ten percent of their combat strength!
Xu Xiao had long wanted to replace Cao Bao.
If Cao Bao disobeyed orders or delayed the opportunity, he would have a good reason to kill him!
For the generals who were slow and lazy.
Xu Xiao would not be merciful!
Mi Zhu accepted the order.
He came to Cao Bao's camp to pass down the order.
Because Xu Xiao had succeeded as the governor of Xu Prefecture, Cao Bao was neglected after Tao Qian recuperated at home.
Although he was the commander of the Danyang Soldiers in name.
But Cao Bao knew that Xu Xiao did not like him very much!
If it wasn't for Tao Qian's sake, he would probably have been dismissed as the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers!
When Mi Zhu arrived.
Cao Bao was drinking to drown his sorrows.
"General Cao, Zuo Rong killed an official of Xiapi Kingdom without permission and led his army to Guangling. The lord has ordered you to pursue and kill Zuo Rong immediately!”
"If Ze Rong runs away, you don't have to come back!”
When Cao Bao heard that, he was so shocked that he sobered up.
"Ze Rong ran away, so I don't have to come back?”
"This leg belongs to Ze Rong. If he wants to run, can I stop him?”
When Mei Zhu heard this, he shook his head and sighed.
Was this what a general would say?
Leading the most elite Danyang soldiers of Xuzhou and saying that they couldn't stop Zuo Rong?
Thinking about how she had worked with Cao Bao for many years and how Cao Bao was Tao Qian's trusted aide, Mi Zhu couldn't help but remind him,""General Cao, you are the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers, the most elite of the Elixir Yang Soldiers in Xu Prefecture!”
Cao Bao threw the wine cup aside." I am the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers, but others don't know me. Don't you know me, Mi Zizhong?" If I could stop Zuo Rong, would Cao Cao still dare to attack Xuzhou? I would have beheaded him that day!”
Mei Zhu smiled helplessly." General Cao, now is not the time to talk about this. If you want to save your life, I have a plan."”
"What plan?" Cao Bao was overjoyed. Tell me quickly?"
"General Cao, I'm sure you know that the Lord doesn't really want you to stop Ze Rong. What the Lord wants is the military power of the Elixir Yang soldiers!" It was only because of the face of Provincial Governor Yuan Tao that I didn't dismiss you directly. However, you are not sensible and are unwilling to return the military power.”
Cao Bao said," I'm not stupid. If I hand over military power, can I still have a foothold in Xuzhou?"”
Mi Zhu said," If you want to gain a foothold in Xu Prefecture, you don't have to have military power. I heard from my sister that there are people in Xu Prefecture who have good intentions. They listed your daughter, my sister, and the little Pei Gan family as the three beauties of Xu Prefecture. If you want to save your life and not lose your wealth, just marry your daughter to the lord as a concubine.”
Cao Bao's daughter, Cao Yuan, was supposed to marry Lu Bu as a concubine.
However, Lu Bu was still in Puyang and had no connection to Xu Prefecture.
"Just a concubine?" Cao Bao hesitated.”
Mi Zhu was a little amused. At this moment, Cao Bao was still fussing about his wives and concubines.
Being able to be a concubine was already Xu Xiao giving Tao Qian face!
Moreover, Mei Zhu had to mediate between them.
Otherwise…
Xu Xiao might not agree to take concubines!
Did he really think that Xu Xiao was Brother Cheng who wanted every woman he saw?
"General Cao, don't make a mistake!”
Cao Bao suddenly woke up. At this time, he did not have the qualifications to negotiate with Xu Xiao at all!
It was unknown whether Xu Xiao was willing to take a concubine or not!
Cao Bao thanked him." Thank goodness Mi Zizhong reminded me. However, is the Provincial Governor willing to take a concubine?"”
"With me around and you taking the initiative to hand over the command of the Scarlet Yang Army, the Lord will not make things difficult for you!" Mi Zhu said confidently.”
Cao Bao thought for a moment.
They could either chase after Ze Rong and fail the mission and be killed.
Or he could send his daughter to seek wealth.
It wasn't a loss to work so hard!
As for military power?
He was a general who didn't know how to fight. How could he be as good as Xu Xiao if he wanted military power?
Isn't it good to enjoy life at home?
