In just two to three days.
The news of Yuan Shu's defeat spread to the surrounding areas.
The passes and towns around Shouchun all raised their flags of righteousness and cursed Yuan Shu for seizing the Great Han's divine weapon. Then, they rose up against Yuan Shu and came to join Cao Cao.
Moreover, he was sincere and had no second thoughts.
Cao Cao had taken over these important passes without shedding any blood, completely surrounding Shouchun, causing the morale of the people in Shouchun to plummet.
Even if Yuan Shu ordered people to reward the three armies, the effect was minimal!
The city was constantly filled with an uneasy atmosphere.
Cao Camp.
These few days, all the good news had made Cao Cao smile from ear to ear.
This was…
Early in the morning, he woke up and washed up. After breakfast, he brought Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Guo Jia to the Beiwei Army camp to discuss matters with Su Ran.
Originally, as the military advisor, Su Ran should stay with him in the main camp so that he could be summoned at any time.
However, Su Ran wanted to lead the Wei Army, so he agreed to Su Ran's request.
There was no need to keep him by his side.
It could be said that not many people could enjoy such love.
The central camp was several miles away from the Bei Wei Army camp, and the three of them walked for an hour before they arrived.
Su Ran had been training with the army in the morning. When she heard that Cao Cao had arrived, she immediately put down what she was doing and went out to welcome him.
"Yi An, you're training early in the morning. You're really hardworking.”
"No wonder you can train such a powerful army!”
"Right now, the rumors in the army are that those who enter the Bei Wei Army are like dragons!”
"They're all like dragons and tigers!”
Cao Cao looked at Su Ran's military uniform and could not help but praise her.
He had already heard Cao Chun praise the strength of the Wei Army countless times, and he was very fond of the Wei Army.
"My lord, you flatter me."
Su Ran quickly said modestly," It is all thanks to my lord that the Back Wei Army is where it is today. If not for my lord's discerning eyes, I'm afraid that I would still be a small deputy general under General Yu Jin. I wouldn't have had the chance to train the Back Wei Army, right?”
"After all, there are often thousand-li horses, but not many Bo Le!”
Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this. He repeated it several times before exclaiming,"Yi An is really full of golden sentences. Just based on this sentence, he has the qualifications to be a great scholar.”
"Xu Shao, Sima Wei really doesn't know how to read people. I'm afraid his decades of reputation will be ruined.”
"After this battle, my lord should issue a document to clear Yi An's name!”
Guo Jia's expression was a little serious.
Scholars value reputation the most. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.
If someone humiliated him like this, he would draw his sword and fight to the death!
Cao Cao's face darkened. He patted Su Ran's shoulder and said solemnly,""Yi An, don't worry. You've suffered so much in the past few years. From now on, I will seek justice for you ten times, a hundred times more.”
"It's time for those sour scholars to know how it feels to be laughed at by the world. I'll also let them experience the suffering and disdain Yi An has suffered over the years!”
He didn't have any ill intentions towards the Confucian scholars, but he hated those old people who relied on their seniority and were good at using Confucianism.
Ever since he had welcomed the Emperor to Xuchang, Kong Rong of the North Sea had often contradicted him and treated him arrogantly in the name of the Kong family's great scholar and the righteousness of the world.
He was helpless about this.
Therefore, he could deeply feel that Su Ran was being belittled by Sima Wei and Xu Shao, but he couldn't refute her helplessness.
"Thank you, my lord, for your filial piety!"
Su Ran cupped her hands and smiled." However, you don't have to help me with the matter of clearing my name. I want to do it myself."”
The reputation that he had lost, he naturally had to get it back bit by bit with his own hands!
"Good!"
Cao Cao nodded heavily and agreed.
Guo Jia also smiled.
A gentleman kills without shedding blood. It seemed that Yi An had already made a foolproof arrangement in his heart.
Forget it.
He accompanied Su Ran to perform this good show.
"My lord, please enter the camp.”
"Let's go."
Su Ran asked Cao Cao when they walked into the camp."I wonder if there's something the lord has come for this early in the morning?”
"In the past few days, the garrison generals of the border towns have come to surrender.”
"This is all thanks to Yi An's scheming.”
"A single head is enough to scare all the places into surrendering!”
"Shouchun is now an isolated city. The morale in the city is low. Yuan Shu won't be able to hold on for long. When the heavy rain in June and July arrives, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated!”
When Cao Cao mentioned these things, his smile never stopped.
Comfortable!
This battle was too comfortable.
The two hundred thousand soldiers, other than losing some provisions and a few thousand soldiers, had no other losses.
However, they had already won half of the battle against Shouchun.
"These things are within my expectations. It's just that it happened much faster than I imagined.”
Su Ran also smiled.
In history, when Cao Cao conquered Shouchun, Yuan Shu was defeated and fled. Only a few hundred people were willing to follow him.
Apart from Yan Xiang who committed suicide in Shouchun, the expressions of the other aristocratic families and officials instantly changed as they welcomed Cao Cao into the city with a smile.
The change of expression was so fast and his bones were so soft that he could not believe it.
At first, these people incited Yuan Shu to become the Emperor so that they could profit from it. When Yuan Shu was defeated, these people kicked Yuan Shu away and welcomed Cao Cao.
One could see the leopard in a small tube.
From this, one could also know the harm and disaster caused by aristocratic families!
If the aristocratic families were not eliminated, the world would be in turmoil!
He deeply agreed!
"Now, we can begin the next step.”
Su Ran smiled.
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows,"It seems like you have a plan in mind, Yi An."”
"I just don't know what to do next.”
Cao Cao looked expectant.
Su Ran's schemes had never disappointed him!
