At this moment.
At the border of Yanzhou, after Liu Bei's 1,300 men had deliberately slowed down their advance and spent a lot of food.
Liu Bei had received news of the chaos in Yanzhou!
Then, in his ecstasy, he brought his second and third brothers, as well as his troops, into Yanzhou to join Lu Bu and take advantage of the opportunity!
However, after walking for less than half a day, he found out that Xiahou Dun had a trick up his sleeve, which greatly reduced Lu Bu's military situation. The words 'trick up his sleeve' made Lu Bu not dare to repeat it.
Even Chen Gong, the new strategist beside him, didn't dare to do anything. He was so scared that he retreated, and Yanzhou became an iron plate again.
Thus, Liu Bei swiftly brought his second and third brothers back to Youzhou, pretending that nothing had happened.
In just half a day, they had already crossed a hundred miles and arrived at the border of Jizhou. They were about to enter Youzhou.
The speed was so fast that it made Jian Yong numb.
If they had marched so far, they would have already returned to the camp in Youzhou Province for food and soup half a month ago.
……
At this point.
There are twenty-four counties in Xuzhou.
Within seven days, all of them were gathered by the opera artists and sent out the local elected officials. They began to operate normally. It was winter.
It gradually began to snow.
Only Zang Ba of Taishan County needed time to gather them. Because that was the border and the border between Qing and Xu, it was difficult to reach.
Cao Cao sent messengers back to Yanzhou and ordered Cao Chun to lead 20,000 tiger leopard cavalry to follow closely behind. They traveled day and night to defeat Zhang Miao in Chenliu and capture him.
Wait until December.
Many people realized that Chen Gong's name had disappeared from the Heavenly Ranking of Counselors.
……
At the same time, the memorial had been sent to Chang 'an.
Li Jue and Guo Si immediately invited Jia Xu to discuss.
" Sir, this is a memorial from Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou. He wants a herdsman of Xuzhou and a total of 17 official positions." The two of them had no idea.
If he agreed, it would undoubtedly strengthen Cao Cao's power.
But if he didn't agree, it seemed that Cao Cao's current power was indeed very great, and he had done a great job in eliminating the bandits.
"Generals, this edict is written in the tone of exterminating the bandits in Qing and Xu. It is a great contribution and we cannot refuse.”
In the hall, an older scholar said slowly with an indifferent expression.
This person was currently ranked second on the Advisor Board.
His name was Jia Xu.
Dong Zhuo's advisor, Li Ru, should have died in the chaos and was saved by Li Jue and Guo Si. Now that he had retired, he was no longer on the list.
However, because of the appearance of the Heavenly Rankings, Jia Xu's status had skyrocketed. He was treated as a guest of honor by Li Jue and Guo Si, as if he was a god.
If there was any major matter now, he would definitely come to Jia Xu to ask for advice first.
Although Jia Xu's expression did not change, his eyes were fixed on the list that Cao Cao had sent over.
Among the people who had been promoted, the one who had improved the most was actually the person at the bottom, Xu Zhen.
"General Dian Nong…"
Jia Xu pondered carefully.
This was the first time that this person's name had entered his field of vision.
He was not a simple talent, but he was at the bottom. Had he been following Cao Mengde from the beginning?
Or did he only follow her recently?
He had never heard of this person before.
"Generals, since Cao Cao's memorial has been sent up, it would be best to use the Emperor's decree to make him a Cavalry Commandant. As for this Xu Zhen, give this memorial to a general in charge of agriculture.”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.""Yuan Shao has also contributed to exterminating the bandits, and so has Yuan Shu. The two of you must also report to the emperor and reward them to balance the four directions.”
"Is it like this?"
Li Jue and Guo Si scratched their heads. These two warriors naturally couldn't avoid Jia Xu.
In reality, this method could allow the dukes in the pass to have some achievements and improve. Naturally, they could balance each other out.
They didn't even need to threaten the safety of Chang 'an.
However…
Jia Xu secretly sighed. He had to admit that this place was not suitable for him to stay for long. He had to think of a way to leave Chang 'an and seek refuge with someone else…
Now, they couldn't go back to the outside of the pass. Xiliang was occupied by Ma Teng, and the vassals were fighting in the pass. Only Chang 'an could still have soldiers and horses to hold the emperor.
However, I don't think Li Jue and Guo Si will be able to guard the Emperor.
"Sir, we'll do it now!"
Li Jue and Guo Si received the suggestion and left happily, as if they had found a treasure.
However, what the two of them did not know was that Xun Yu, who was ranked first, and Jia Xu, who was ranked second, were both equally knowledgeable and farsighted.
However, there was a fundamental difference.
Xun Yu planned for the world.
Jia Xu planned for himself.
He was looking for a way out.
……
In less than five days, the emperor issued an edict to announce to the world.
The imperial edict granted many vassals, all of which were used to eliminate thieves and quell the rebellion.
Cao Cao was appointed Cavalry Commander and commanded his troops to guard Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu was appointed as the rear general and commanded the army to guard Jiangnan.
Yuan Shao was granted the title of Chariot and Cavalry, commanding the army to suppress the rebellion. He was stationed in Jizhou and destroyed the two armies of Baibo and Heishan.
At the same time, there were more than 50 officials who were promoted. Of course, other than the appointed border officials and rebel generals, all the promotion of officials was just an appointment edict sent to various places.
Their official positions were transferred to the Han nationality.
This appointment would be an unprecedented and important appointment.
Because of this, many people from the aristocratic families and the poor families could enter the court and become officials. It had to be known that at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was even more difficult to become an official from a commoner.
For a time, Confucian scholars from all over the world celebrated.
Of course, Xu Zhen was also among them.
This night was the night he married his second wife.
It was the moment when the red candle was lit and their eyes met.
In Xu Prefecture, the daughter of the Mi Clan, Mi Zhu's third sister, Mi Zhen, was just around the age. She was beautiful and graceful. Other than marrying Xu Zhen, she was also given 30 million yuan and 300 gold as a dowry. She also received a large courtyard in Xu Prefecture that had been demolished and rebuilt.
Xu Zhen suddenly felt that after leaving Liu Bei, he had reached the peak of his life.
Wonderful.
