Agents of the Three Kingdoms

The news that Yuan Shao left Gao Lan stationed in Beiqiu County and withdrew to Bohai County soon reached Wang Lei's ears.In this regard, Wang Lei did not send troops to pursue the victory.The [-] shi of grain Cao Cao lent was not enough to support Wang Lei's complete defeat of Yuan Shao, but it was more than enough for self-preservation.This happened to be Cao Cao's cleverness, allowing Wang Lei to stabilize but not allowing Wang Lei to fight back, forming a confrontation between Wang Lei and Yuan Shao.

Regardless of Cao Cao's thoughts, this battle has finally come to an end.

Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Lei was reading a book seriously, while Tian Yu sat down calmly.

Time passes slowly.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Lei still had no intention of putting down the book.Tian Yu sat upright, and did not take the initiative to break the calm.Tian Yu carefully recalled what he had done these days, and there was nothing wrong with it. Wang Lei came to him, but he was not in a hurry to speak. He made it clear that it was a test for him, so he was even less in a hurry.

Knowing Wang Lei's thoughts, Tian Yu still waited meticulously.If you think that you have made a little contribution, you will be proud and complacent, and it is impossible to get Wang Lei's attention.

Wang Lei was indeed reading, but he glanced at Tian Yu from time to time.He called Tian Yu here to test Tian Yu's patience.This situation is easy to guess, but it is not easy to keep calm all the time.

The expression on Tian Yu's face was indifferent from beginning to end, sitting upright without any change.

Wang Lei was quite happy about this situation.

It took nearly an incense stick before Wang Lei put down the book in his hand and broke the calm: "Yuan Shao left Gao Lan to deploy defenses in Beiqiu County, and Yuan Shao withdrew to Bohai County. Obviously, the flags and drums have died down and no further development. When the war in Jizhou subsides, there will be a A smooth transition period, but the stability is only temporary, and there will be wars in the future. What does Guorang think about this?"

Tian Yu said: "My lord, the fighting in Jizhou has ceased. Yuan Shao stationed troops in Beiqiu County to prevent us from attacking. Similarly, Wei County must also prevent Yuan Shao's attack. The humble official believes that Wei County needs an army to stay behind and monitor Yuan Jun's movements at any time. .”

Wang Lei asked, "Any suggestions?"

Tian Yu said without hesitation: "General Zhang is good at defense, so it is most suitable to stay."

Wang Lei smiled, and Tian Yu's opinion coincided with his.

"Come on, please open your jaw and come to the camp!"

After the order was issued, Zhang Jaw hurried to the tent in a short while.After taking his seat, Wang Lei said: "Jun Yi, this time Yuan Shao is attacking Ping'en County, and it is up to you to lead the troops to defend in order to block Yuan Shao's attack."

Zhang Jai looked calm, and said modestly: "With the lord's prestige, Jaw can block Yuan Shao's attack."

Wang Lei smiled, shook his head and said, "When Yuan Shao heard my name, he wanted to kill him immediately. It would be great if he could stop Yuan Shao with my reputation. It's your credit, so you don't need to be humble." , Wang Lei continued: "You have made great achievements, you must be rewarded. Besides, your ability to command the army is very good. It is really overkill to transfer you back to Ye County as the army commander. Guard Ping'en County, and when the time comes, follow me to seek captives."

"Thank you my lord!"

He opened his jaws and clasped his fists in response, quite excited in his heart.

Staying in Ye County as an army commander, it is impossible to dispatch troops and generals, and it is difficult to do anything.

His ability can only be displayed when he goes out of the town.

Tian Yu felt it was funny, Yuan Shao, a son of the Yuan family who came from a famous family, instantly became what Wang Lei called the thief Hulu.However, Yuan Shao colluded with Wuhuan, and he could row to the side of the Hulu.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Tian Yu, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, Guo Rang also performed very well. You led troops to block Yuan Shao's attack, raised food, and appeased the people. Your contribution is indispensable. I plan to What do you think about transferring you back to Ye County?"

Tian Yu didn't answer, but cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have a request from my humble official?"

"Say!"

Wang Lei felt strange, Tian Yu was supposed to reward Tian Yu, but Tian Yu avoided answering.

Tian Yu said: "I beg you to stay in Ping'en County and continue to serve as the county magistrate of Ping'en County."

Wang Lei felt even more strange, and asked, "Why?" After being transferred to Ye County, Tian Yu's position would definitely be improved, and he would definitely be bigger than the county magistrate, but Tian Yu wanted to stay, which surprised Wang Lei.

Facing Wang Lei's gaze, Tian Yu looked calm.

Tian Yu explained: "My lord never gave up, and I promoted the humble officer from the thief Cao to the county magistrate of Ping'en County. So far, the humble officer has served as the county magistrate for no more than half a year. Due to the short time, the humble officer has not done anything in Ping'en County. I am ashamed of the people of Ping'en County. This time Yuan Shao attacked Ping'en County, and the humble official made a small contribution, but it is not worth mentioning."

After a pause, Tian Yu continued: "I beg you to stay as the magistrate of Ping'en County because I want to hone my ability. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. You are still young, and I hope to do something for the people. It is a responsibility to the people to manage the land of a county well, so that the people have clothes to wear and food to eat; it is also a responsibility to the lord to trust and work in peace and contentment.”

Wang Lei took a deep breath, feeling relieved.

Tian Yu is not easy!

If you can calm down and do things, why not worry about the big things!

Wang Lei didn't force it, and said: "I agreed to your request. I have this ambition. I will wait and see. I hope that when I come to Ping'en County next time, I can see a scene where I don't pick up lost things on the road and don't close my house at night."

Tian Yu cupped his hands and said, "I will not let the lord down!"

There was a lot of confidence in his tone.

Zhang Ja looked at Tian Yu with admiration even more.

Next, Wang Lei arranged for the handover of Ping'en County in a short time, and then left Tian Yu and Zhang Jai to station in Ping'en County, and brought Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Jushou, and Yan Liang back to Ye County.

……

Dongjun, the prefect's mansion.

The news of the end of the battle in Jizhou came back, and Cao Cao had a smile on his face after watching it.Gongsun Zan occupied part of Zhongshan State and Hejian State, Yuan Shao occupied Bohai County, Qinghe State, Anping State and part of Hejian State, and the rest of the territory was controlled by Wang Lei.

This situation maintained the division of Jizhou.

For Cao Cao, it is most appropriate.

With a smile on his face, Xi Zhicai said slowly: "Jizhou is divided, but according to my observation, Wang Lei will definitely win. The question of time is still uncertain, at least a year or so, and at most three years."

Cao Cao thought about it, nodded and said, "One to three years is enough for us to do a lot of things."

In the eyes, there is infinite fighting spirit.

Wang Lei is in charge of Jizhou, and Cao Cao will not be weaker than Wang Lei.

Xi Zhicai changed the subject, lowered his voice, and said, "Liu Dai has already led his troops to go out after being pushed by Wan Qian. Wang Lei got our food support and defeated Yuan Shao. Guan Hai came back with the Yellow Turban. The strength of the Yellow Turban was strengthened." , Liu Dai will surely die, it is time for the lord to take charge of Yanzhou Inspector."

Cao Cao said: "Zhicai, be careful!"

Xi Zhicai replied: "Don't worry, my lord, this time it will definitely succeed."
