Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 159
Cao Cao ordered Zhongping to draft an official document and sent soldiers to pass it to Yanzhou. After three or four days, the army entered Shanyang County from Pengcheng, and arrived in Dongjun County from Jiyin in a few days.

After entering Yanzhou, it will be much more convenient to contact Xun Yu.

When Cao Cao got the news of Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou in Xuzhou, he was somewhat worried about the internal situation of Yanzhou. He first welcomed into Yanzhou for Bao Xin, and soon after he became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he killed the famous scholar Bian Rang.

After taking power in Yanzhou, Cao Cao chose to promote poor families such as Chen Liu Maojie, Dongjun Cheng Yu, Taishan Yujin, Chen Liudianwei, Shanyang Manchong, etc. as important vassals.

For the Yanzhou gentry, the method of slapping a sweet date was adopted. When the Yellow Turban Army was not repelled, it was mainly used to win over. After the Qingzhou Army was incorporated, it was adopted to weaken the division.

Perhaps the Yanzhou gentry also sensed Cao Cao's intentions, or maybe it was the act of killing the border that made them feel like killing chickens to scare the monkeys. These gentry were vaguely dissatisfied with Cao Cao.

Furthermore, when the Qingzhou army was incorporated, in order to support his troops, Cao Cao increased the taxes and rents for the powerful, and at the same time strengthened the collection of land acquired by the powerful in these places, which naturally deepened his conflict with the Yanzhou gentry.

If Zhongping hadn't brought Liu Xie into Yanzhou, Cao Cao would have become a great hero in maintaining the safety of the court, and the status of the Yanzhou gentry would have risen.

This time when Zhang Miao and Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, these Yanzhou gentry would basically choose to defect to Cao Cao and cooperate with Lu Bu.

Now that Xu has Liu Xiehe and hundreds of officials, it is fine for Lu Bu to only cause chaos in Yanzhou. Once he wants to invade Xudu, Xun Yu can beat him into a "rebellious minister".

Liu Xie will most likely choose to cooperate. During the Chang'an Rebellion in the past, Lu Bu also cooperated with Guo Bang. Compared with Lu Bu, who is known for "defying righteousness", and his "close" Cao Cao, it is obvious how Liu Xie chooses.

This also led to the fact that, except for a small number of gentry who were unclear who were willing to cooperate with Lu Bu, trying to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot and fight for a future, most of the gentry were at worst indifferent and chose to watch the fire from the other side.

The gentry who chose to actively cooperate with the prime ministers of their counties and counties to resist Lu Bu's army became the mainstream.

This is also the reason why when Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao had the intention to withdraw from Xuzhou, he disregarded the base of Puyang and immediately persuaded Lu Bu to withdraw instead of taking advantage of the time difference to plan for Lu Bu to capture the county.

Zhong Ping followed Cao Cao all the way, and for the first time experienced the feeling of "eating a pot of pulp to welcome the master".

Since the army entered the county and stationed in the county, the local gentry, as if they had met their relatives, took the initiative to take the responsibility of supplying the army with food and supplies.

In his free time, apart from studying military books with Cao Cao, he would hang around Liu Bei, chatting casually under the pretext of wanting to learn swords.

In the past, when he looked at Liu Bei, he always had the filter of the old Three Kingdoms and Emperor Zhaolie. In his heart or in his actions, he couldn't help showing a little respect.

But in the past few days of in-depth communication, he discovered the cuteness of the other party.

For example, today Liu Bei talked to him about how when he was young, he liked to walk horses and fight dogs. He used to make a bet with others and go hunting together in the mountains.

In the end, before the winner was decided, the opponent's hound was first detained for killing several golden pheasants carefully raised by the Orion on the mountain.

Several people argued for several times, but there was no way to settle the matter. In the end, Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to take his own horse as collateral, so he replaced the hound, and invited the three elders of the village to judge, back and forth Four or five times before the matter was completely resolved.

In order to repay this "favor of a dog", the other party planned to take the initiative to admit defeat and raise a horse for Liu Bei for a year.

"...At that time I said, 'If you really want to, you can compete with me again. Is my hound really inferior to you?'"

Liu Bei smiled helplessly.

"In the end, I really lost. Not only did I lose the prey that day, but I also became a horseman for him. Fortunately, I only served for a month... I spent a lot of time at his house every day, which is considered a skill, and it was not in vain. lose."

Zhong Ping couldn't help laughing, and recalled what Liu Bei had told him about the knight-errant past, and the corners of his mouth couldn't restrain himself from rising.

He secretly guessed who this "unlucky guy" who was cheated by Liu Bei for a month was.

It's a pity that he is only a college student who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He really doesn't know much about such details as Liu Bei's old friends when he was young.

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out who this "unlucky guy" was.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is not some kind of riddler. His eyes showed nostalgia, and he sighed softly: "I have been separated from Zijing for several years, and I don't know if he is all right now?"

Zhong Pingxin said that this name sounds familiar... He really has no impression of this person, and he can't even think of this person's name.

It seems that this person should be the same as his father, and those in Romance belong to the background board category...

Speaking of it, our old family seems to have no sense of existence in history, and it feels like we have never participated in any major events.

Zhong Ping complained a few words in his heart.

Seeing the distance to return to Xudu, it was only a few days ago, maybe because of the wars he had experienced, there were only Chang'an and Xuzhou.

Before returning to Yanzhou, Zhong Ping thought that what he saw should be a scene full of wolves and dilapidated everywhere. After all, the battle of Yanzhou in history was indeed quite difficult.

But when he entered Yanzhou, he realized that the reality was quite different from his imagination. If he hadn't known that Lu Bu had attacked Yanzhou, he might have thought that he had been deceived by Hao Meng and got false news.

After all, the calm scene everywhere, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a war has broken out.

Even when he first entered Yanzhou, Liu Bei once praised Cao Cao's political clarity. Although Chong Ping knew that Liu Bei was right, Cao Cao's governance of Yanzhou was indeed good.

But seeing Liu Bei full of praise and admiration with his own eyes, Zhong Ping still felt that there was a little... mixed feelings.

He was thinking that after repelling Lu Bu, wouldn't it be Xu Tian's siege?

Although the time is not right, but now that Cao Caoxiong is far away from Yanzhou and occupies most of Xuzhou, Liu Xie can be regarded as being held in his hands. After the internal problems are resolved, it is guaranteed that someone under his command will want to go further?

Besides... Even if Cao Cao does not move, it is not certain whether Liu Xie will remain stable once Liu Bei enters Xudu.

Zhong said in all sincerity that I don't know the people under Cao Cao, don't you know Liu Xie?
If he doesn't make trouble, I will write the name upside down.

Considering this...whether Xu Tian's hunting will happen or not, it seems that the Yidai Zhao is inevitable.

...For some reason, I suddenly miss Liu Bian so much. Compared to Liu Xie, Liu Bian seems more suitable to be a puppet...

Zhong Ping quickly pinched himself in his sleeve.

This idea can be a bit dangerous.
