Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 425 Suicide Note and Bronze Sparrow
"Even so, Han Hao, Shi Huan, you two, go to the Qu'a camp to reward the sergeants." Cao Cao finally spoke.

"Yang Rui, where are you from?"

"Master Sikong, I'm from Xiarunan, my father Yang Hong." Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Cao Cao, Yang Rui replied truthfully.

"Yang Hong?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, "But Yang Hong, Yuan Gonggong's subordinate?"

"Exactly."

"Your father and I are old friends. Luo Yang knew each other before, and we fought against Dong Zhuo together. I should support you." Just look for the reason, and there will always be one. "Now you are the chief secretary of Zhou Weiguo. You are overqualified and useless. I will report to the emperor and become an official in the court. You can temporarily be the commander of our army. After Wuhuan is over, follow me to Beijing to face the saint."

Cao Cao's speech now cannot be questioned, and it is completely in the tone of an order. "Han Hao, you go to work in the army, and tell Qu'a by the way."

"Lord Sikong."

Just as Yang Rui opened his mouth, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Sikong, I have something to ask for here. Now there are soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou whose family members are being detained by the Wuhuan people. They are eager to reunite. I am entrusted by them. I ask Lord Sikong to release their families."

Cao Cao laughed in his heart, Youzhou and Jizhou are also short of population, how can we let them go. "Since they are eager to reunite, they should be allowed to return to their hometown, why go to Jinzhou again?"

"The subordinates can choose to stay or stay..." Yang Rui said weakly.

"Alright, let's do that."

A confrontation ended in Yang Rui's complete defeat, and the final result was still to maintain the status quo.Yang Rui stayed in Cao Cao's army. He sent someone to send a letter to his father Yang Hong. Old Yang Hong knew that he was like a tiger by Cao Cao's side. He couldn't get sick in anxiety and worry. He died half a year later. Yang Rui went back to Jiangdong to be a filial piety for his father. Back to Xuzhou, this is a later story.

When Qu A learned that Yang Rui was being kept by Cao Cao again, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, but he didn't dare to attack, so he sent someone back to Xuzhou to report to Zhou Cang.Zhang Ja knew that Qu'a was leading the army, so he didn't dare to meet Qu'a. Yang Rui told him that his son Zhang Xiong was also in Liaodong, and he didn't want to join the army. Knowing only Liu Li's mystery, but not his background, he is very pleased that his son can study in the college.

Cao Cao reclassified the counties of Youbeiping to Youzhou, acquiescing to the fact that Changli was divided into two.He ordered Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Qu'a to continue to wipe out the various tribes in Wuhuan, and he brought Zhang Jai and others back to Yecheng.

The army besieged, and all Wuhuan tribes were bereaved. Half a year later, Shanyu Louban had no choice but to surrender. Cao Cao still regarded him as Shanyu recruiting the remnants of Wuhuan tribe.King Khan Lu continued to flee north, fled into Xianbei and was annexed by Shanyu Budugen.King Xiao resisted stubbornly and was killed by Zhang Liao.Qu'a led his troops back to Jinzhou and took away some Han people while Cao Cao was away.

Wuhuan collapsed, and only a few small tribes still lived in the poor mountains and rivers.The Xianbei Shanyu annexed the tribe of King Khan and Lu, and its power surpassed that of Ke Bineng. The contradictions between the three tribes of Xianbei escalated, and internal strife intensified.At this time, the Huns were divided and unable to form a joint force.Until the spring of the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's worries in the north were temporarily relieved.

However, Cao Cao's actions also left a curse.Nomadic tribes have always advocated force and obeyed the orders of leaders and nobles. They did not respect the law, let alone pay taxes, and inevitably disobeyed discipline. Conflicts and conflicts often occurred between nobles, herdsmen and the government.The Han people in the north were repeatedly harassed by the Hu people, and they were hostile to the Hu people. After the Hu people fell into the Han land, they discriminated against the Hu people.

At first, Zhou Cang proposed this strategy to Tao Qian when he was in Youzhou. Tao Qian thought it was reasonable but difficult to implement. Without a hundred years of achievements, various contradictions could not be reconciled and would cause hidden dangers, so he was not eager to adopt it.Cao Cao seemed to be aware of this too. He ordered Liang Xi, the governor of Bingzhou, Yan Rou, the guard of Xianbei Zhonglang, and Xiaowei Hu Wuhuan, to specialize in the differentiation and adjustment of various ethnic groups. It is to deter and suppress by force.

When Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, Xun You came to report Guo Jia's death.Cao Cao was very sad, "It's a pity for filial piety! It's a pain for filial piety! It's a pity for filial piety!"

Xun You and others tried to persuade Cao Cao to mourn, and presented Guo Jia's suicide note: "My lord, this is left by filial piety at the end of my life. Please take a look at it."

Jia has followed the lord for more than ten years, and the lord loves to participate in the military. It is a blessing in life and has no regrets until death.My lord, Wuhuan and Jingping in the north are certain to go here. The victor must not be impatient. He should stabilize Xutu Jingxiang in Hebei.Now that Jingxiang is here, as long as he manages well and coerces Jiangdong, Sun Quan will be bound.The only person Jia worries about is Zhou Cang. This person has a strategy and the ability to help the world. I doubt he has the ambition to compete in the world, but he has the heart to help the lord rule the country. If his heart does not change, it is not appropriate to push it too far... The more sloppy the writing, the harder it is to tell the difference, and it is not even finished how to get along with Zhou Cang.

Cao Cao held two thin pages of Jian'an paper, heavy in his hand, and felt sad from his heart: "Fengxiao is still so troublesome at the end of his life, why don't I follow."

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia for the posthumous title Zhenhou. Guo Jia's son, Guo Yi, was underage, and Cao Cao was raised in the mansion.

"My lord, Captain Mojin Ma Yi has been waiting for many days to see my lord," Wang Bi reported to distract Cao Cao's attention.He didn't know why Captain Mojin was an official. Seeing Ma Yi's appearance, he didn't look like a good person, so he would definitely dismiss him in normal times.

Cao Cao beckoned to call Ma Yi.In the past few years, Ma Yi has created a lot of wealth for himself, and he suddenly asked to see him because he was afraid that something might happen.

As soon as Ma Yi entered the door, he fell to his knees: "Congratulations, congratulations, lord, auspicious."

"Get up and talk."

Ma Yi tremblingly took out two things from his bosom, "An ancient song says: There are double ques in the west of Chang'an City, and there are two bronze sparrows on them. Once they cry, the five grains are ripe, and then they cry the five grains are ripe. I excavated this thing in Yecheng and offered it to you." And the lord." Holding in his hands were two bronze sparrows.

Cao Cao didn't believe in ghosts and gods when he was young, but as he grew older and his status grew, he began to be convinced. Hebei was severely damaged, and he urgently needed to gather people's hearts.

"Bring it to me." Cao Cao took the bronze sparrow from Xu Chu and put it in his hand to play with. He saw that it looked like an antique, not an old one. He was overjoyed, and he muttered: "Stingrays show good fortune, and bronze sparrows welcome good harvests."

Cao Cao rewarded Ma Yi generously and made them continue to work hard and achieve better results. Ma Yi was very grateful. If his family was not too poor, he would even have the idea of ​​digging his ancestors' graves.

With auspiciousness, Cao Cao naturally wanted to make great use of it. He immediately ordered the expansion of Yecheng. In the future, Yecheng or Yedu should be called the accompanying capital. In Linzhang County of Yecheng, three sets of Tongque, Jinhu and Bingjing were built.

When the world was not settled, Cao Cao began to build large-scale construction projects, but Xun You wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, he sighed and gave up.
