The next day.

Cao Ang did not set off.

Instead, they chose to wait another half a day in the village until noon, when the main force of the army led by Zhang Liao came, and the cavalry and infantry joined up.

At the same time, nearly [-] captives were handed over to the cavalry for a short period of time before setting off again.

But this time, due to the addition of thousands of young and strong township soldiers led by Xu Chu, the size of the entire team has rapidly expanded.

The number of people jumped directly from the original more than 4 to nearly [-]. With the addition of nearly [-] captives, Cao's army directly became a huge team of nearly [-].

Mighty and mighty, piercing to the sky.

Around the huge soldiers and horses of the headquarters, there are hundreds of elite cavalry riding around and cruising at all times to ensure that any emergencies can be detected.

Marching in this way for half a day.

And after a night of camping in the wild.

The large force finally arrived at a location five miles away from Qiao County in the morning of the next day, where they joined the local officials and gentry who came to greet Cao Ang and his party.

The reception this time was unprecedented.

Among the county yamen, all officials who have reached the ranks are among the people who go out of the city to greet them this time. Even if they have duties, they will skip their errands in a hurry and choose to show their face to their immediate superiors .

The same is true for local clan families.

It doesn't matter whether it's a family that has been passed down for decades or hundreds of years, or a small family that has only a little strength and has just been ranked first.

They all sent heavyweights to greet them.

After all, Cao Ang himself came from the Cao family in Qiao County.

And he was ordered to take over as Yuzhou Mu.

The two factors add up.

It can be said that Qiao County will become the most powerful place of the Cao family.

Anyone who dares to offend the Cao family here will die no slower than wiping their necks with a knife.

Therefore, even if there are many people who come to greet them and few are qualified to show their faces, everyone will not relax because of this and choose to stay at home.

After all, there can be no benefits, but there can be no disadvantages. It is best to be cautious before finding out the temper of the new immediate boss.

If someone pokes something that he has never met, and provokes the leader's anger, then the end may not be very good.

As for wanting to please Cao Ang.

A person who has been promoted in this way.

Nature is another matter.

……

"I'll wait to see the lord!"

It's located five miles outside the city.

With a smile on his face, Cao Ang calmly accepted everyone's respectful salute. After everyone bowed down, he quickly stepped forward and helped the first person up.

"Please hurry up, everyone, no need to be polite!"

"Although I am the shepherd of Yuzhou, I was originally a child of Qiao County. You are all my father and fellow villagers. Everyone is my own, so there is no need to see outsiders!"

Cao Ang's scene is beautifully spoken.

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

And the local magistrate of Qiao County, who was dressed as a county magistrate, said with emotion at this moment.

"The world is in chaos, and the counties and states in Yuzhou are constantly fighting. Although Qiao County is in the hinterland, it is difficult to stay out of it. Bandits and thieves are also emerging in endlessly around the area."

"But the lower officials heard that when the general came, he used thunderous means to wipe out a group of thieves with a huge force, so that the people of our Qiao County can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the blessing of governing the people and the common people!"

Seeing that the county magistrate flattered him.

The officials and the children of the aristocratic families stopped pretending.

All kinds of flattery and flattery were thrown straight at Cao Ang.

"The general's voice is heard all over the world, and his reputation is famous all over the world. He is a sage who has not appeared in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. I am lucky to be able to come out of the same county as the general. I am really lucky and honored!"

"The general came from Qiao County, which is the blessing of Qiao County. People like you deserve to be listed in the county annals and shine in the annals of history. The lower officials have already arranged for the county officials to rebuild the county annals, in order to write the prestige of the general!"

"The current situation is chaotic, the court is in turmoil, the world is dark and difficult to understand, and the Han Dynasty can be described as precarious. Fortunately, heroes such as generals were born, so that the Han Dynasty can be quiet and bright, and the suffering of the common people can be relieved!"

"This child Zixiu, the old man has grown up with him since he was a child. From the day he was born, I knew that this child is definitely not someone in the pool. He has been smart and eager to learn since he was a child. He has a talent that is a hundred times that of ordinary people. Today, everything is as expected by the old man, Zixiu has already turned into a dragon by the weather, and ascended the clouds straight up!"

……

Cao Ang was originally listening with a smile on his face, but at the same time he couldn't help being polite.

But when you hear the last words.

But he couldn't help being a little confused.

Ok?
Hearing this tone, why does he look like an elder, and it is also the kind of elder who is not familiar with himself, has no life, and has no words to brag about.

Cao Ang's line of sight immediately searched the crowd, and soon pinpointed an old man with white beard and hair, who was quite old.

Inside the circle of old men in front of me.

As far as this old comrade is concerned, he still has some impressions. He vaguely remembers that he is an elder from the side branch of the Cao clan.

After locking the character.

Cao Ang stopped watching.

Instead, he signaled to the crowd on the left and right, made way for a path, and then walked quickly to the old man.

Then, with a slightly respectful look on his face, he spoke in a gentle and thoughtful manner.

"Boy, my eyesight is stupid. I haven't seen my uncle here before. I hope you don't blame me, old man!"

Since this elder of the clan can say what he said before in front of everyone, it proves that he is definitely a person with good face.

So Cao Ang made such a move.

It can be said that it gave him enough face.

This made the old man extremely excited. He helped Cao Ang up in a hurry, and he was so excited that he stammered.

"Get up quickly, Zixiu, get up quickly!"

"It's hard for you to still remember me as an old man, I really am a good and filial boy!"

……

Listen to the old comrade's reply to him.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing secretly.

The corners of the mouth also curled up slightly.

Naturally, he didn't have nothing to do, so he stood up to recognize some distant relatives. Although everyone's surname was Cao, the direct line and side branches were far apart.

What's more, the age gap between the two of them is so big, they don't know how many gaps are separated between them, and they can't say a word, and it's hard to have any intersection.

The reason why Cao Ang did this.

It was entirely because he wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity, through such an incident, in front of the local official system and local family figures in Qiao County.

Showing his gentleness and friendliness, as well as his soft policy, so that he can be more calm, and it is logical to quickly build the framework of the state capital here.

It seems now.

The effect is quite good.

Based on the comments of the elder Cao's family in front of him on the word "filial piety", as well as the changes in the eyes and sights of those around him.

Cao Ang knew that his goal had been achieved.

……

After a little thought.

He said to the old man more and more kindly: "Grandfather is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient. It is really difficult for him to go through the long journey."

"That's why the old man originally wanted to come back and take a look at his home, but he can only give up for the time being."

"As for my father, he is really busy with government affairs. Everyone in Yanzhou is attached to my father alone. He really can't leave for too long, so he can only regret returning to the north."

"However, uncle, if you have leisure time, you might as well follow me to live in Yanzhou when I leave with my troops."

In fact, the elder in front of me is also in his sixties.

In this era, it can be regarded as a long life.

It's hard for Cao Song to run around, so how can he run happily? Therefore, it's just a matter of leisure and leisure, and going to Yanzhou to enjoy blessings, that is to say.

But sometimes the important thing is not the person himself, but the attitude. Cao Ang's words made the old comrade feel more face.

Conscious that in the future in Qiao County, his status will definitely rise. Everyone knows that General Cao Angcao regards him as an elder, so how can he not respect him?

thought here.

The old man immediately patted Cao Ang's shoulder excitedly, and the kindness and charity in his tone became more and more full.

"I have a heart, Zixiu has a heart!"

…………

After going through such a thing.

The atmosphere among the crowd has obviously become harmonious.

For Cao Ang, the airborne immediate boss, the local factions in Qiao County have a high degree of acceptance, not only because Cao Ang is a local.

But also because of his kind attitude.

This means that all those with vested interests in the local area will not be the targets of drastic reforms and can continue to maintain the status quo.

That being the case, why not welcome Master Wang?
And after returning to the county seat of Qiao County.

Under the arrangement of officials and local families, Yu County Government held an extremely grand banquet.

During the period, the cups were pushed and changed, and the toasts were staggered.

Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo orchestra.

I can only hear laughter and joy.

During the banquet, Cao Ang made it clear that he would set up the state capital in the next few days, and at that time, there would be certain candidates from various local factions in Qiao County to be selected as state capital officials.

And after this news came out.

The enthusiasm of the crowd was even higher than ever.

Not only does the original cake remain unchanged, but the cake is also enlarged to share greater benefits with everyone.

Can't you squeeze your head and rush to support?

So that the banquet is not over yet.

Many people have already begun to ponder in their hearts, how to get ahead of others, get a good chip, and get a piece of the biggest cake.

Of course, everyone actually understands.

The fastest and most convenient way is to take the road of Cao Ang, as long as you can show your face in front of your immediate boss and leave a little impression on General Cao's heart.

A mid-to-senior official position is no problem.

It's just that how to get through this road still needs to be studied. What are the preferences of General Cao, and we have to hurry up to collect information.

…………

After the banquet is over.

Surrounded by two giant spirit gods on the left and right, Cao Ang returned to the mansion where the Cao clan lived.

Because it's still early.

It's still early enough to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Therefore, Cao Ang simply asked the family stewards to call some of the children from the side branches of the family to come and communicate with them.

The main thing is to see if there are any talents among these offshoots who can be used.

After all, the so-called distinction between concubine and concubine seems a bit trivial when it comes to the proposition of appointing talents and serving the forces of the Cao family.

It's just after observing around.

Cao Ang was a little disappointed.

I really can't find a few usable seedlings, either with little talent or good character.

Even if there are children with a little spiritual light, they are all too young. When they grow up, the Cao family has already ruled the world and established a state.

Can only be used as a backup.

of course.

After such a circle, after all, there are still people who can catch Cao Ang's eyes.

This person's name is Cao Shao.

The important thing is not him, his own talent, in a few words, there is nothing particularly outstanding, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

The key is the son he brings with him.

His son's name is Cao Zhen!

……

Looking at the little boy who was following his father in front of him, although he was a little strange and confused, he was not lacking in courage.

Cao Ang couldn't help but nodded secretly.

He is no stranger to Cao Zhen.

According to the original historical trend, this kid will be adopted by his father Cao Cao after his father Cao Shao died for unknown reasons.

Then all the way up.

He successfully took over the position of the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and then he made great achievements in Cao Wei's foreign wars. I don't know how many opponents he won and how many battles he won.

In the end, he achieved the position of great general and even great Sima all the way, which can be described as an extremely human minister with outstanding achievements.

He belongs to Cao Erdai who is quite talented and has an extremely outstanding performance, and he can be regarded as impeccable in all aspects.

There is only one bad thing.

It was this boy who gave birth to a son named Cao Shuang.

That is purely a disgrace to the Cao family!

Enjoying the feats and glory left to him by his parents, and thus became one of the two pillars.

But at a critical moment, he suffered from cerebral palsy.

Sima Yi won the final victory in a wave, and all three clans were killed, which also ruined Cao Wei's country, leading to the return of the three clans to Jin, and the bad ending of Sima's world.

Cao Shuang has to carry half of this pot.

It is simply a heinous crime, a sinner of the Cao family.

But now Cao Zhen is still a child, and the blame of his children and grandchildren will definitely not be blamed on him. Moreover, due to historical changes, it is really hard to say whether Cao Shuang, a rebellious son, can be born.

So for Cao Shao and Cao Zhen father and son.

Cao Ang only had appreciation in his heart, without any other senses. After a very kind exchange, he immediately decided to let Cao Shao follow him.

When they left Qiao County and went north, they brought their father and son back to Yanzhou.

…………

After a harmonious and friendly exchange.

The children of each house and branch bid farewell and left.

Only the civil and military descendants of Cao Ang were left at the scene, including uncles and nephews of the Xun family, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others.

After washing his face in the cold water brought by the servant, Cao Ang said to the people around him while wiping his face with a cloth towel after waking up a bit.

"Everyone, I initially plan to stay here for half a month. During this half month, the most important thing is to establish the state capital."

"Due to the early death of Kong Ni, the former governor of Yuzhou, the structure of the Yuzhou prefecture has been vacant for a year or two. Therefore, it is equivalent to starting from scratch. It will take some time and energy to complete the construction."

"And this requires everyone to work together and work together to achieve the goal."

Everyone present is the most trusted by Cao Ang, and they are all talented direct subordinates.

They all know the focus of Cao Ang's next career, and understand that this is an important part of the entire Cao family's grand strategy, so they dare not neglect.

They all stood up and bowed their hands to Cao Ang. Although their movements were irregular, they responded in unison.

And after everyone answered and took their seats.

Cao Ang fumbled for a silk book from his pocket, then rummaged through the table and found a blank bamboo slip.

Then he picked up the pen and wrote on the bamboo slips, while speaking to everyone in a gentle voice.

"Although I am the shepherd of Yuzhou, Qiao County is sandwiched in the hinterland. It is really far away from Dongjun and Sili and other places."

"So I won't stay here for a long time. Once the state capital is built and there is nothing wrong with it, I will lead the way north."

"Therefore, in the remaining state capital, I need someone to take charge of government affairs for me, to exercise the power of state shepherd for me, and at the same time, I need to leave troops for defense."

"At this point, I have arrangements."

…………

The voice just fell.

Everyone sat upright.

They all straightened their backs, pricked up their ears, and listened to Cao Ang's next arrangement.

The older civil and military ministers are concerned about themselves and others, and the next step is to stay in Yuzhou, or follow Cao Ang to go north and return to Yanzhou.

And Guo Jia and others with relatively low qualifications.

They had already guessed that they and others would be left in Yuzhou. The question they were concerned about was naturally what kind of initial start they could have.

Under the eyes of the officials.

Cao Ang began to read according to the content already written on the silk script.

"First of all, the post of Yuzhou Biejia who will exercise the power of state pastor on my behalf. I initially plan to be Gongda, and you will sit here for the time being."

"When I'm not around, you'll be in charge of the overall situation. You'll be in charge of everything, big or small, until I have no other orders and nothing that affects the overall situation happens."

Xun You was taken aback when his name was called.

He didn't expect this errand to fall on his head.

Originally, according to his expectation, this person was clearly a powerful figure in Yuzhou, and when the general was away, he would be the number one position, which should belong to his uncle Xun Yu.

Although their uncle and nephew are both direct descendants of direct descendants, and they both have the ability to control the overall situation.

But strictly speaking, there are still some differences.

His uncle, Xun Yu, is not only better at handling government affairs, but also has a slightly higher real status and trustworthiness than himself.

Although Yuzhou is not the base camp.

But it's still a state.

Except for Runan County, which is still in Yuan Shu's hands, the other five counties are all owned by the Cao family.

The importance of such a huge piece of land is by no means comparable, so naturally it would be better for my uncle to take over.

And now the general arranges it like this.

Unless... Uncle has other important responsibilities.

……

I thought so in my heart.

Xun You didn't show any emotion on his face.

Standing up, he took the appointment document that Cao Ang handed him with both hands, and after a respectful promise, he returned to his original position.

And after the most important appointments have been arranged.

Cao Ang swept Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai with his eyes, then nodded slightly to them.

"Feng Xiao and Zhicai, you are all from Yuzhou, so you should be more or less familiar with the big and small affairs in the state."

"So I intend to keep both of you. As for the duties, let's order them together. Specifically, I will arrange for the two of you after the state capital is completed."

"Thanks to the general's reuse, the subordinates must do their best and dare not slack off in the slightest!"

The moment you hear that you are engaged.

Both of them were a little happy to be honest.

They have never thought about the second-in-command job like Biejia, and it is considered a very high salary to get a job in a state with considerable power.

So everyone got up and thanked.

……

Among the four talents recruited from Yingchuan County, in addition to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, there are Xun Yue and Zhao Yan.

The former will not remain.

After all, it was Lu Zhi and the thousand-volume collection stored in Dongjun that recruited him.

As for the latter.

"Boran, you are still young, if you suddenly occupy a high position, you will inevitably attract criticism, and then you will cause trouble all over, which is not a good thing."

"So according to my idea, you will be the magistrate of Qiao County next, and I will transfer the original county magistrate to another post, so as to cooperate with Gongda and the others again."

Say you can't hold a high position.

But in fact, a county magistrate, for a young man in his early 20s, is already quite a privilege.

How many people will not be able to sit in such a top position in the county throughout their lives.

What's more, it is still the seat of the state capital.

It is the administrative center of a state.

Seeing an official is half a level higher.

So what else can Zhao Yan say?

Of course, I was so excited that I couldn't be more grateful to Cao Ang.

……

After the civil servant arranged a circle.

The rest are generals.

Although ordinary county towns don't have too many garrison troops, this place is obviously unusual.

Cao Ang was worried if no one was left behind.

After looking around, Cao Ang set his eyes on Le Jin.

"Wen Qian, I will allocate five thousand soldiers to you. After I leave, you will be in charge of the defense of this city and even the entire Pei Kingdom."

"I will grant you the right to make impromptu decisions in the army. If you encounter something in your daily affairs, you can discuss it with Gongda and the others."

"But if there is an urgent military situation, but you can't contact me for a while, you can make your own decision!"

Le Jin, who was originally sitting safely in the sequence of generals.

Suddenly heard his name.

I couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

But what followed was some mixed feelings.

He can lead thousands of elite soldiers to guard one side, and also has the right to make impromptu decisions in case of emergency military situations.

For a general, this can definitely be regarded as reuse, and it is an excellent appointment.

After all, guarding for a few years is equivalent to collecting a lot of resumes and meritorious deeds. After returning to the center, it can be raised a few levels.

It's just that he was a little reluctant at the same time.

Again.

But all the generals under Cao Ang knew that they would always have meat to eat when they followed General Cao, and they were always on the front line of the battle.

After all, General Cao has been running around all these years and has never settled down. The opponents have changed one crop after another, and the territory is constantly expanding.

The generals under his command made wave after wave of credit, leading the troops was a pleasure.

On the contrary, although there is autonomy at the local level.

But it is equivalent to being idle.

It's not a peaceful season right now, the current situation in the world is chaotic, it's a good time for men to make contributions and gain meritorious deeds.

This is a great time to be idle.

Who can stand it?
……

Soldiers are bound to obey orders.

Although Le Jin was somewhat reluctant, he still chose to accept the errand decisively.

However, Cao Ang clearly saw Le Jin's worries and knew what he was thinking.

Dang even put down the brush in his hand, and taught Le Jin in a gentle tone.

"Wen Qian, don't think that you are stationed here with soldiers and horses, just to let you live a stable life and give you a cold cushion."

"In fact, this place is not at all easier than the front line, and even in the next few years, it is very likely to become a new battlefield and become the front line of fighting."

A trace of confusion flashed across Le Jin's eyes.

Then he asked very simply.

"Please ask the general to clarify!"

"Shh" sound.

Cao Ang stood up, then motioned to the left and right soldiers, and opened a large-scale map for him.

Then he tapped the southern area of ​​Peiguo with his hand.

"The southwest of Peiguo is bordered by Runan County, while the southeast is adjacent to the Yangzhou area. It can be regarded as a county that has more contact with the south."

"It wouldn't matter if it was a normal time, but right now Yuan Shu has already retreated from Nanyang County and directly returned to Runan County, which means that he is on the border with us."

"And there is one thing to be aware of, that is, Runan County alone cannot afford to support Yuan Shu at present, and he will not be willing to have only one county."

……

while talking.

With his hands, Cao Ang drew a large circle on the area shown in Yangzhou on the map.

"Although Runan County is one of the best in the world, after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, compared with Nanyang County, it is more than a little worse."

"Besides, in the entire Yuzhou, five out of six fell into our hands, and he only got one of them. With Yuan Shu's temperament, how can he endure it?"

"But at the moment, he is unable to fight against our army, so he can only turn the spearhead to other places. Looking at the surrounding area, the only one that is weaker than Yuan Shu and worthy of his scheme is Yangzhou in the south."

"With the current strength of Yangzhou, it is not enough to resist Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Gonglu takes control of Yangzhou, Pei Kingdom will be bordered by Yuan's territory on both sides."

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang paused for a moment.

Then he tapped the map with his knuckles.

"Yuan Shu is by no means a law-abiding person. After winning Yangzhou, he is bound to develop an unruly attitude towards Jingzhou and the northern part of Yuzhou where I am. It is inevitable that there will be confrontations."

"So Wen Qian, the Qiao County you are guarding, seems to be the rear, but in fact it will turn into the front line at any time, becoming the first pass between our army and Yuan Jun."

"So, do you understand?"

……

A word out.

A hint of excitement flashed across Le Jin's eyes.

He was not a fanatical militant.

Rather, such an arrangement proves that General Cao Angcao still has considerable trust in him.

He Lejin is still being reused!
As the so-called low-ranking people sell their literary and martial arts to the high-ranking ones, isn't that what they are looking for?

So follow Cao Ang to explain clearly.

Le Jin immediately bowed his hands and agreed with a bang.

"Don't worry, general, the last general will live up to his trust!"
