We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Speaking of which, Xi Yu can be regarded as the person who gave them a second life.

Now that I'm here to seek refuge, I naturally have to bring some gifts.

No, Cao Pi suffered a disaster.

Not only was he extorted of millions of gold, but he also gained a reputation as a stingy person.

When Xi Yu learned about this, he laughed for a while because of the truth.

These gangsters are really disgusting. Now that they are in their own camp, they don’t know whether it will be good or bad in the future.

That's what he said, but he wasn't worried at all that the other party would cause trouble.

After all, Huang Xu is in the camp right now.

Speaking of Huang Xu, although he is not as prestigious as his father Huang Zhong in the military, he can still be regarded as the number one figure.

Presumably, the Qingzhou soldiers who came to seek refuge became very interested when they heard Huang Zhong's name.

Sure enough, when a group of Qingzhou soldiers saw Huang Xu, they gathered around him.

"Ah, this is Brother Han Sheng's son? He looks really strong!"

"Yes, boy, we are all brothers who have been on the battlefield with your father and have gone through life and death. Speaking of which, you have to call us uncle."

"Hey, boy, since we are all a family, and we are all your elders, what is the benefit of being in this military camp? Don't forget us!"

"That's right, and what's more, we are all old, and our bodies and legs are far inferior to those of you young people, so if there is any dangerous mission in the military camp in the future, you have to look after us more."

"······"

Several of the leaders were chattering away, surrounding Huang Xu in the middle.

When they were in Cao Ying, they were the masters of words, especially General Fubo, who was the leader.

As long as he wanted to, he could rise to the top with just a few military exploits and become a general leading tens of thousands of people.

However, before everyone could finish their friendship, General Fubo was already on his back.

Huang Xu, who showed his big white teeth, threw several people to the ground within a moment.

Then he showed an amiable smile and said, "Uncles, please be polite. I have heard your father say your names a long time ago. I have always admired you very much. I am really excited when I see you today. You are all good at blocking hundreds of people. I don't know what to do with you." Are you willing to teach me a lesson with this kid?"

"Ouch, good boy, this strength is extraordinary!"

"Yes, General Huang said at the beginning that this boy looks like a weakling and has no strength at all. Now it seems that his words are not true."

"Good guy, you have learned martial arts and your body is strong enough. Boy, what is your position in the army now?"

"Position..."

Huang Xu stood with his hands folded, raised the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "He's not a high official, he's just a commander of the cavalry."

"hiss······"

"Commander of cavalry...cavalry?"

"That's comparable to us..."

It's more than one and a half stars higher than us.

Several people looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

The original indifferent mentality also dissipated like smoke in an instant.

Just kidding, to be able to be the commander-in-chief at such a young age, even if he relies on a little bit of his father's power, it is enough to show that this kid is not simple, and you must not compete with him.

"He's just a commander-in-chief. What's the fuss for you uncles? Come on, come on. I don't have any other hobbies. I love fighting with others the most. You uncles are all among the best, so you won't refuse to join me, right?"

Seeing that several people were starting to shrink back, Huang Xu kept up his efforts and showed a rather honest expression.

However, the words coming out of his mouth caused everyone to step back.

"No, no, General... General, this... is unnecessary."

"Yes, we are all a family. What can we compare?"

"Oh? Are you sure you don't want to compete?"

The smiling Huang Xu put his hand on the sword as he spoke.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "crack" sound, and as the long sword emitted a cold brilliance under the illumination of his eyes, the smile on his face also disappeared in an instant.

"Since you don't have the guts to compete with me, then stand up straight!"

"Since you have chosen to be soldiers, you must behave like soldiers. Outside the military camp, we can call each other uncle and nephew, but inside the military camp, I am a general and you are soldiers. Military orders are like mountains. What I say to you We can only obey unconditionally and don’t tolerate criticism!”

"If there is anyone who doesn't understand, you can come and fight me. It's just that we don't know who will win or lose."

Let me go, this guy is so cruel. He acted like this just after we met. He is trying to take advantage of everyone and establish his power.

It's just that... look at those hands he just showed off, it looks like he is a tough guy.

"Of course, if you feel that one person is not sure to beat me, then two of us will do it together! I, Huang Xu, am not afraid of three or five people!"

"bass!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xu sheathed his long sword, then placed the scabbard heavily on the ground, folded his hands, and looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who had gathered around with disdain.

This kid, don't be too arrogant!

Every Qingzhou soldier who came to seek refuge could not help but curse secretly in his heart.

As early as when everyone was talking to Huang Xu, they attracted the attention of some officers and soldiers in the camp. Then as Huang Xu waved his sword, a large number of onlookers gathered around him in a short period of time.

Nowadays, everyone is really riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.

"Since you are not afraid of three or five people, I guess ten people like me are nothing?"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter how many people you have, just wait and see. As long as you can win, I, Huang Xu, will be in this camp, and I'll just have to follow your lead!"

Compared with the other party's careful probing, Huang Xu, who was arrogant among the others, was even more dazzling.

"Okay, brothers, since this guy has said so, we would be really cowards if we don't do it."

"That's right, it doesn't matter how many people there are, so what are we afraid of?"

"Brothers, as long as we defeat this kid, we will be able to enjoy spicy food in the camp!"

"Come on! Grandpa, it's not like I've never seen blood on the battlefield, so I can't teach you a lesson?"

"Count me in! Fight!"

"······"

Everyone became more and more excited as they talked, and soon the whole camp was filled with shouts. Many soldiers who were gearing up had even begun to choose weapons.

Fight after fight, but everyone's attention was not entirely focused on this fight.

Since I have chosen to come to Xuzhou, it is naturally a decision made after everyone has considered it in all aspects and made it carefully.

In addition to Xi Yu's kindness to Qingzhou soldiers, they also wanted to see more details that would make them willing to stay, such as the current camp.

Speaking of this camp, we have to mention its builder.

Jia Ji is said to be the son of Master Jia Xu. Although he cannot rule the sky with one hand in Xuzhou, he is still a popular figure in front of Xi Yu.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his talent.

Take the current camp as an example. Let’s not mention the gorgeous appearance. Just look at the internal configuration. The grain and grass warehouse, weapons warehouse, armor warehouse... are all available in an astonishing amount.

As long as there is a war, these equipment are enough to arm the army to the teeth!

It can be seen that Xuzhou is really rich and really values ​​the lives of its soldiers!

Compared with Xuchang, it really pales in comparison.

······

For a whole afternoon, with Xi Yu ignoring him, Huang Xu and the 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers who came to defect were fighting in full swing on the school ground.

Being young and strong, he didn't know what fatigue was at all. One competition after another only made him feel refreshed.

Of course, this is for Huang Xu.

For those 50,000 soldiers, it can be regarded as experiencing one inhumane torture after another!

I don’t know where that kid got such high energy. Throughout the whole afternoon, no matter how many times he was beaten, he was not afraid. He even seemed to be getting more and more excited as the fight continued. The faster the punch, the faster the defeat will naturally be.

By the time the sun went down, nearly two hundred people had been defeated before they knew it.

By the time Xi Yu remembered these Qingzhou soldiers and brought Dian Wei to the school grounds, all the Qingzhou soldiers with bruised noses and swollen faces had already lined up quietly to collect military supplies.

Speaking of which, these Qingzhou soldiers can be regarded as people who have spent most of their lives in the camp.

If we really let them go back to cultivate the land, I'm afraid that over time, everyone will not get used to it.

Compared with being alone at home, they are obviously more accustomed to military camp life where there are people around them who can make jokes and talk, laugh and insult wantonly.

"Ouch, what's going on with your faces? They look so green and purple."

Dian Wei looked at the Qingzhou soldiers with bruised noses and swollen faces like palettes in front of him, and mocked them mercilessly.

"Come on, come on, brothers, let's talk about how this happened. Brother, I am a Hanwei general after all, and I have never beaten anyone like this!"

General Da Hanwei... God damn General Da Hanwei.

Looking at the proud Dian Wei, all the soldiers couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

By the way, this posthumous title seems to have been from more than ten years ago, right? Are you still talking about it?

"General Dian Wei, don't make fun of me anymore. We will strictly abide by military orders in the future and will not act recklessly again."

"Yes, General, I realize my mistake."

"But having said that, General, what's going on with that kid Huang Xu? I remember that General Huang used to say that this kid was as weak as a chicken, and he was always worried that he wouldn't live long. Why is he so strong now? Jian, as strong as an ox?”

Hearing this, Dian Wei glanced at Xi Yu and saw that he was not paying attention to this place, so he waved. After everyone came closer, he whispered: "This matter is confidential and has not been spread to the outside world."

"Huang Xu is able to achieve what he has today, thanks to my lord!"

"My lord gave Huang Xu all the self-invented moves such as Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi, etc., and supplemented them with medicinal baths. It took a full six years to create Huang Xu today."

"Of course, it's also because this kid is talented, hardworking and can teach him well. During this period, I, Lao Huang and Zilong also taught him more or less."

"There is another thing that you probably don't know. After this boy achieved some success in martial arts, he led more than 300 white cavalry from Qingzhou and killed more than 7,000 mountain bandits and grass bandits. They stopped at the Jishui line. .”

"Since then, not to mention Xuzhou, even the grassy thieves in Jizhou and Youzhou have not dared to come out to cause trouble in a short period of time."

"The most important thing is that it only took this boy just one night to complete this matter, and at that time, this boy was not yet in his prime!"

Dian Wei was very excited when he mentioned this little-known story, and of course, he was even more proud.

After all, he could barely be regarded as half of that boy's master.

"So, what do you think? You dare to compete with him? You really are fearless if you don't know."

Dian Wei smiled and patted the nearest soldier on the shoulder, not sure whether he was comforting or laughing at him.

"Hiss~~~"

Everyone took a breath, and their heads suddenly seemed a little inadequate.

More than 7,000 bandits and bandits, one night?

He ran from Qingzhou to the Jishui line. He might not be able to reach it in a day or a night, let alone kill 7,000 people. It would be great if he could do it in this life.

But he...

"You can't tell, this kid - no, he is the son of General Huang. He is really young and promising!"

"Oh, General Dian, why didn't you come earlier? If we had known this earlier, why would we have fought?"

"If I had known this, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed if we had just surrendered. General Huang's martial arts skills are superb and no one can match him. He is really powerful. His archery skills must be as good as those of you, right?"

"That's natural!"

Dian Wei's chest puffed up and he said proudly: "His bow was specially made by a craftsman specially ordered by the lord. Not to mention the weight, even if you want to fully draw the bow, there are very few in Xuzhou City who can do it."

"As for the shooting range, from two hundred meters away, if he wants to shoot your arm, he will never shoot it in your leg!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

Before, they thought that Huang Xu, the white cavalry commander, had something to do with General Huang, but now, everyone just felt that they were ignorant.

How can anyone desecrate such a heroic and fearless gesture?

While everyone's hearts were quietly changing, they were also slightly scared.

Fortunately, we didn't have much conflict with the other party before. Otherwise, we might have started to have a grudge before we even got to know each other.

Until then, life will be really difficult for everyone.

For now, while everyone can still get along in harmony, it's best to be obedient.

Just like that, without Xi Yu having to say anything, the fifty thousand Qingzhou soldiers were determined to follow him.

Even after they dispersed the people into various armies, no one objected.

Since then, there have been 50,000 more elites in Xi Yu's camp, and Xuzhou's troops are about to reach the 400,000 mark.

"Right now, our army has a total of 380,000 people, and we have enough manpower for the time being."

In the government office, Xi Yu and other counselors gathered together to take stock of all available resources and troops at hand.

"The equipment is completely sufficient. The 500,000 yuan of equipment originally equipped is still more than enough. It's just that there don't seem to be many caravans and goods near Jizhou now."

"Not only that, but the trade routes seem to be gradually disappearing. The caravans sent out before have reported back that the commodity business outside is not easy to do. If things continue like this, we will lose a lot of money in business this year."

"Previous rough calculations showed that at least two million gold would be lost. The commerce in various places is not developed right now, there are few trade routes, and there are only a few merchants. In addition, various armies in Jizhou are expanding their recruitment, and the people's lives are not easy now. "

Zhuge Liang frowned and said helplessly: "I have contacted the shopkeepers along the Hefei Canal before. Alas, these are the only ones who can spare money now."

"As for our internal expenses, I am already controlling them. I believe that soon, the money that everyone can spend will be fixed within a certain range and will not be able to grow for a long time."

"Putting aside the money issue, should we pay attention to the trends around us recently?"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, there have been three waves of spies sent by Xuchang alone in recent days."

"Why······"

Mentioning this, Xun Yu sighed deeply and said, "I also have some bad news. It is said that Xuchang is about to move its capital."

"Move the capital?"

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows.

He could put aside all other issues for the time being and come up with ideas to deal with them in the future. Only the matter of moving the capital was a surprise.

"Yes, it has been decided to move the capital, but whether it will go to Chang'an or Luoyang is still open to debate. Yecheng may also be a possibility."

"Yecheng!"

Looking at the map, Xiyu tapped his index finger.

Yecheng is located in Jizhou, and it is currently the capital of Wei State. If Cao Pi really moved the capital to Yecheng, he would have put Emperor Xian of Han in his own home.

In this way, he can be regarded as imitating Cao Cao and holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.

However, the current situation is different from Cao Cao's situation at that time. Even if Cao Pi hid Han Xian Emperor at home, he could only live a stable life for a few days.

In the future, as long as he wants to become the King of Wei, everything will be uncertain.

"Snapped!"

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yu slapped his hand on the map and stood up slowly, his eyes full of sharpness.

"If he wants to live a stable life, it depends on whether I agree or not."

······

After receiving the order, Xuzhou's army first dispatched 50,000 elite troops from Qingzhou to defend the key points in the Yellow River Basin and Jishui, and quickly seized the dangerous key points.

At the same time, most of the soldiers and horses in Bohai also quietly started their plans after receiving the order.

These soldiers and horses were all the back-ups that Cao Cao had planted in Shi Xiyu.

At that time, after Xiahou Dun took over Jizhou, he sent people to talk to Xi Yu several times, just to get those troops to withdraw from the Bohai Sea, Qinghe River, and many plain areas, but Xi Yu never paid attention to it.

You know, there are a lot of black and white cavalry among those soldiers.

He ordered those people to stay in Jizhou, firstly to find out the enemy's situation in time, and secondly to deal a certain blow to the enemy from within if necessary.

And now is the best time.

Within half a month, the troops who had been left behind rebelled, and then the entire eastern part of Jizhou was in turmoil.

In order to welcome Zhao Yun to Jizhou, the army that originally only attacked but not defended, in just ten days, seemed to go crazy, bombarding Cao Pi's army indiscriminately, and lost all the troops they had lost before. All territory was recovered.

At the same time, previously blocked trade routes were reopened, and merchant ships sailed unimpeded on the Bohai Sea.

The situation in the world suddenly changed dramatically.

The emperor was so anxious that he had to issue an edict, ordering Cao Pi to go to Qinghe County in person to negotiate peace with Xi Yu.
