Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 291 Zixiu, Beware of Yourself, Cao Cao's Worries

Facing the olive branch thrown by Cao Ang.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were not too reserved.

After all, they stood up and reprimanded Fang Qiu, pointed out Jiangshan, and showed their knowledge and abilities in front of Cao Ang.

Not because after joining Cao Ang's command.

able to get attention.

So as to be further reused, have a higher upper limit and a faster promotion speed.

So right now Cao Ang invites them to join his own forces, and the two have absolutely no reason to refuse.

Guo Jia first glanced back at Xi Zhicai, nodded slightly, then turned around and smiled at Cao Ang.

"The general is a celestial figure, a lord of the world, and now he sincerely invites his subordinates. If I hesitate to move forward, then I don't know what to do."

With the voice falling.

Guo Jia immediately bowed to Cao Ang to the end, and said passionately: "Jia is willing to be the pawn of the general, and he will be no matter what he is ordered!"

And after Guo Jia made his statement.

Xi Zhicai also took a step forward in due course.

Just when he was about to speak, a violent cough came up again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The sudden severe cough caused Xi Zhicai's originally pale face to flush abnormally, which was a bit frightening.

After covering his mouth with the sleeve of his robe and coughing violently a few times, the turmoil subsided.

"Hush...huh!"

After taking a deep breath, Xi Zhicai felt the gazes from both sides looking at him, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Then he bowed his hands to Cao Ang with some helplessness and said: "Loyalty is three feet and life is low, a scholar, to be favored by the general, this is the luck of the next three lives."

"Thank you for not giving up, I wish to stay with you forever, and do my best to repay the general's appreciation."

……

After Cao Ang accepted the loyalty of the two with a smile, he asked with a little worry.

"Zhicai, are you in good health, can I ask some famous doctors to have a look?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head slowly.

"Thank you, General, for your concern. This is a stubborn disease I have brought on since I was a child. I have eaten a lot of medicine stones since I was a child, and I have probably maintained this state."

"Although it's not going to get better, it won't hurt your life. The general doesn't have to worry about me."

That being said.

But Cao Ang still thought about it, if he had the opportunity, he should ask a few serious doctors, or after meeting Hua Tuo, ask this world-famous doctor for help.

After all, if I remember correctly.

Xi Zhicai died of illness.

And he died of illness very early, it was because he died of illness that Xun Yu recruited Guo Jia as his replacement.

If possible, then Cao Ang would naturally try to save his life as much as possible. How could he just sit back and watch such a talent lose his life due to illness?
Of course, there is no such condition right now.

Cao Ang could only keep this matter in his heart.

After getting up and helping Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai up, please return to their seats.

Then he turned his attention to the last person.

That is to say, Zhao Yan, Zhao Boran who was the youngest, and who hadn't said anything since he came in, just listened silently.

"Boran, what about you, what do you think?"

……

Although Zhao Yan didn't make any high-level comments.

Unlike Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who each showed their abilities.

But Cao Ang, who is familiar with history, knows that the person in front of him is also a talent, so as long as he is a talent, how can he let it go?
And Zhao Yan after hearing Cao Ang's inquiry.

There was no immediate response.

On the contrary, he thought about it for a while, and showed a bit of hesitation. After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously.

"General, as far as I know, Yanzhou and the East County you are in charge of are currently vigorously promoting military colonization and reclamation. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Ask such a question.

It really surprised Cao Ang.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan, who looks the youngest and has the least experience, knows himself quite well.

Even Yanzhou knows a thing or two about the implementation of the military system, and it seems that they have paid attention to it.

Cao Ang immediately nodded in response.

"This is true. Not only Yanzhou, but even Wei County and Qinghe Kingdom, which were later incorporated into my Cao family, are also implementing the military system."

"On the one hand, after successive crusades against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and the Black Mountain Army, they captured a large number of young and strong, as well as many old and weak women and children. If they were ignored, it would be a waste of labor."

"On the other hand, and the most important aspect, even if these people are captives, they are still living people, and they all have fresh lives."

"If I don't care about them, I'm afraid their end will only starve to death and freeze to death. In the end, they will turn into white bones and strands of dead souls."

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang paused for a few seconds.

Then he stood up calmly, waved his right hand, carried it behind his back, raised his face slightly, and then said in a tone full of sincere feelings.

"Although I am not talented, I also have a heart of compassion. These flesh and blood, living people, I can never stand by and watch them starve to death on the street."

"Therefore, even if there are many difficulties in the implementation of military settlements, and it is difficult to see the output of food for a while, but we need to bear the rations of the people in these military settlements, my father and I can only grit our teeth and push through."

"Fortunately, more than half a year has passed now, and the military settlements have finally achieved some results. Thousands of people have been able to survive because of it, so I feel at ease."

……

This statement came out.

Everyone present was in awe immediately.

Everyone looked at Cao Ang with admiration.

She never expected that the Lord in front of her was actually a kind and caring person with a heart for the common people.

Although for Guo Jia and others, whether they are benevolent or not does not determine whether they take refuge or not, what they care about is the future after all.

But for an existence that can be kind to the people of the Li people, how bad can it be for the civil servants and generals under him?

This is definitely a huge plus.

And as the initiator of this topic, it is Zhao Yan who is most concerned about this issue.

It was even more exciting at the moment.

Visible to the naked eye, the face was full of excitement, and the emotions rose instantly, and the spiritual will of the whole person became completely different.

"The general responds to the situation and helps the world. It is a blessing to rule the people to be able to win such a wise master as the general, and it is also a blessing to be able to serve under the general's command."

"With a humble name and poor morals, you are valued by the general. How dare you hesitate to refuse. From now on, the place the general points to is the place where I gallop!"

……

Zhao Yan's bow made Cao Ang smile heartily.

Supporting his elbows with both hands, helped him up, patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, and gave him approving and encouraging eyes.

Cao Ang said loudly to the three people including Zhao Yan: "Now it's time to go south to crusade against Yuan Shu. It's very inconvenient to appoint an official position. After I return victorious, I will make arrangements one by one at that time."

"Right now, everyone, let's follow Wen Ruo and Gongda for the time being, and just take advantage of these days to get acquainted with the situation of our army."

That being said.

But Cao Ang already had a preliminary idea.

Needless to say, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, these two are talents who formulate strategies and think about plans.

It must be staying in the central organization and coordinating the counties and counties at the local level, which can best play their role.

Just after taking Yuzhou.

To set up the Yuzhou state capital by yourself, you must have top civil servants to sit here, and at the same time, you need someone to assist you.

At that time, Er Xun will send one over to take charge.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai stayed here.

As for Zhao Yan, the current age is still too young, he will be 20 years old.

Although the ambition is not at a young age, if you stay in the central decision-making, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public, and you must hone it at the local level.

Cao Ang's plan is to appoint him as the local county magistrate first, train and train him for a period of time, and wait until the local government affairs can be handled smoothly.

Reassign him to another position.

At that time, there must be no worries.

…………

After some chatting.

The night finally came up.

Seeing that it was getting late, although everyone was talking about it, but considering that two of the three were sick, Cao Ang sent someone to take them to rest.

Wait until these people leave.

In the hall, apart from Cao Ang, there were only Xun's uncles and nephews, and the general Dian Wei who had always been silent and followed Cao Ang.

Looking at the direction where a few people are going away.

After Cao Ang pondered for a while, he finally couldn't help asking Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, Zhicai looks weak because he has been weak and sick since he was a child."

"Then what is the reason for being filial piety? Could it be that he also has a stubborn illness brought out from his mother's womb?"

As a mutual friend of these several people.

Xun Yu obviously knew a lot about the situation.

Hearing Cao Ang's inquiry at this moment, Xun Yu's face showed a rare embarrassment, and then he coughed dryly and revealed the truth to Cao Ang.

"Although Feng Xiao's body is average, he doesn't have any stubborn illnesses from childhood. Strictly speaking, he is indeed much better than Zhicai's body."

"The reason why he has become what he is now is mainly because he is somewhat wanton and indulgent when it comes to drinking and sex."

"Too much indulging in it, so that the body is slightly weaker than ordinary people, the more energy is lost, and it becomes like a talented person."

Cao Ang: "..."

An old hole stuck in Cao Ang's throat, making him vomit or not.

Guo Jia likes to drink, he thought of this.

But what I didn't expect was that this guy actually likes beautiful women. He really deserves to be a gentleman, and he is really good at playing.

Both wine and sex, no wonder the body loses quickly.

In addition, Cao Ang thought of something else.

If this guy is not only addicted to good wine and sex, but also eats like the rumors, God knows how long he will live.

In this case.

Cao Ang thought to himself.

For now, let's not take care of it for now, wait until the situation is stabilized, and then slowly adjust these internal personnel, some of which can be used to rectify Guo Jia's bad habits.

………………

The next morning.

After dealing with the affairs of the four major families.

Cao Ang did not waste time.

After a short rest, he led most of the soldiers and horses to continue south, preparing to meet his father Cao Cao in the southern county according to the original plan.

And just as Cao Ang led his troops to set off.

The messengers of the four major families also left Yingyin County one after another, heading in all directions.

The contents of the letters carried by all the couriers are generally slightly different, but the core points to a single sentence.

"Change the banner and change the banner, and serve Cao as the master!"

The terrifying influence of the four major families in Yingchuan County was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Wherever the letters were delivered, the cities where they were located were all influenced by the major families in the city, and they planted banners belonging to the Cao family on the top of the city.

The recovery of Yingchuan County was like an open flame lighting up catkins, and spread out in a sweeping manner. The entire Yingchuan County changed its camp overnight.

And the impact of this incident.

Cao Ang's feeling is the deepest.

Because the speed of delivering a letter by riding alone is many times faster than that of him leading a vast army.

So Cao Ang arrived at every place.

What was waiting for him was not trouble, but the city that had received the letter early, and opened the door to greet him with great enthusiasm. Opening his mouth, he was the state shepherd, and shutting his mouth, he was the state monarch, which can be described as extremely respectful.

……

Located in Fucheng County in the northeast of Luyang County, Cao Cao and Cao Ang had joined forces for a long time, and nearly [-] troops were stationed around Fucheng County.

At the moment, it is located on the city tower of Fucheng County.

With his hands behind his back, Cao Cao looked far to the southwest of the city, although he couldn't see anything except a wilderness.

But Cao Cao still narrowed his eyes.

He said quite proudly: "Zixiu, this is already the closest city to Luyang County, and it is also the last barrier outside Yuan Shu's lair."

"Now that we have pulled out this city, the next step is to drive straight in, and the soldiers will point directly at Luyang County."

"I have received the news that Liu Biao's army is already marching towards Ji County, and will arrive in a few days. At that time, our two families were under the combined attack from the north and the south, and the only way to come to Yuan Gonglu was to flee!"

Cao Cao expressed his ambition here.

Cao Ang propped his hands on the crenel of the city wall, did not interrupt, but smiled and nodded repeatedly, as if he also saw the scene of the Cao family chasing Yuan Shu.

Just after expressing a pass.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered something.

Then he turned his head to look at Cao Ang, and at the same time pointed to his feet with his hand, and then asked with some doubts.

"Zixiu, why are you acting so swiftly this time? When your father was still in the Dingling area, you led people to take down Kunyang and your father's city."

"And after I left Dingling and went to Wuyang County, the whole Wuyang County lined up to welcome me, even more welcoming than Dingling and other places farther away from Nanyang."

"I've been thinking about it, thinking that it's probably because of your efforts, but I don't know how to do it?"

……

Cao Ang bowed slightly to Cao Cao.

"Hail persuaded the four great gentry families headed by the Yingchuan Xun family to come forward and pacify the various places on behalf of our army. Only in this way can there be no obstacles along the way."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang gave a general statement of his series of operations in Yingyin County.

Many of the details were told to Cao Cao.

Including the conditions offered by several major families, and the responses given by the counties and townships in Yingchuan after these families used their means.

At first Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.

I just felt that his son Cao Ang had shown him something again, which really brought him some surprises.

But when you hear the back.

Cao Cao's complexion became more and more dignified, and his brows were unconsciously furrowed.

After Cao Ang finished speaking.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then asked a question out of the blue.

"Zixiu, the words of these big families are more effective than the deterrence of the army."

"Then even if all these big and small families regard our Cao family as the main family, I'm afraid Yingchuan County won't have the surname Cao?"
