Chapter 446 Jade Seal

Back to Yanzhou, when he heard what Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao's eyes flashed the cold light, and he was an official in the court. The strength of these families is really not to be underestimated. Any family can have hundreds of private soldiers, one after another invasions, which made Cao Cao angry. Because of the affairs in the court, he lost Le'an Kingdom and let Yuan Jun Captured many cities in a row.

"Kill!" Cao Cao said heavily.

The big reason for the loss of Le'an State is that Yanzhou has changed. The most elite cavalry traveled to Yanzhou day and night, which missed the fighter.

Hundreds of people were pulled to the streets and beheaded in public. Hundreds of people were thrown into the sky, and blood columns gushed. The officials invited by Cao Cao to watch all changed their colors. Cao Cao was usually very gentle, but when he got angry, he killed the whole family. Jia Rong was domineering, but there was a saying that one person's crime was not as small as his wife and children, but Cao Cao completely eradicated the grass and eradicated. .

Dong Cheng's eyes among the officials are gloomy. The officials killed this time are the middle-level officials in the operation, and he and Huang Wan and Wang Yun are the masters. The strength of the family should not be underestimated, but the Cao army is also elite, surpassing Cao Jun in number, but the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of the family is insufficient, and lacks enough battlefield experience and cooperation ability. With strength, it is completely a fierce force. Such a team can only kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 on the battlefield. When Cao Cao showed strength, Emperor Han chose to be silent. Years of puppet life made him understand his value. That's why he struggled to form an army before. Now his strength is not enough to be with Cao Cao. Resist each other.

The second failure of the officials of the family made Dong Cheng a little frustrated. Now Cao Cao's strength is definitely in the top three in the whole Han Dynasty. They have the intention to revitalize the Han Dynasty and have no troops in their hands. The turmoil of the Han Dynasty for many years has made officials realize that only with an army in their hands can the prestige of the royal family be revived. Borrowing righteousness? It can only make the princes become more and more rampant. Take Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and three princes, for example, is there really a big man in his heart?

Cao Cao killed the officials, and the Emperor of Han's face was also a little low. He had some military power in his hand and some confidence in doing things, but he still could not change the weak situation. It was like this under Dong Zhuo and under Jia Rong. Unexpectedly, it was the same under the rule of the 18 princes who fought against Dong Zhuo at the beginning. The big man actually It is difficult to find a loyal minister. Although he is young, he has become stronger in the center of this bumpy and wandering life. In order to achieve his goal, he can endure it. He suddenly thought of Gou Jian, who was lying on firewood and tasting gall, just for a monarch who can restore his former glory. Gou Jian still has counselors and generals to dispatch, and he is a big man. The owner actually wants to act on other people's faces.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting endlessly. The past feelings have become very ridiculous in front of interests. The battles have made the soldiers of both sides bitter and deep. The soldiers at the bottom look very shallow. You hurt me, and I will kill you in the future.

The land of Qingzhou was caught in war, and tens of thousands of people fled to other places, but most of them went in the direction of Chang'an.

Chang'an Sanfu Land, after the operation of Xiliang Army, has gradually restored prosperity. The people reclaimed the fields with water conservancy. They don't have to worry about drought. The taxes are extremely low. The people don't have to worry about life. The smiles on their faces gradually increased. At this time, the people under Jia Rong have reached more than 2 million, which is not yet. Counting the three cities on the grassland, when they took over these places, there were less than one million people. With today's achievements, Jia Rong is enough to laugh at any prince in the Central Plains. Compared with the family, Jia Rong believes in the world of those who win the hearts of the people. Without the people, there will be no soldiers' clothing, food and armor.

The situation is still in a stalemate. A heavy snow in winter made the fighting Cao army and Yuan Jun strike. The snow is very heavy. The snow on the road can reach the root of the legs. Most of the people's houses are built casually. How can it withstand such destruction? The cold wind is shivering in the snow. The people can be seen everywhere. After a series of battles, the people in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places have become poor. There is no surplus food at home. In the year of the snow disaster, they can only wait for the relief of the government.

Cao Cao's head is so big that there are too many displaced people in Yanzhou that they can't cope with. There is no surplus food in the warehouse, and he can't help the homeless people, but he doesn't regret sending troops to Xuzhou.

In desperation, Cao Cao followed the advice of the counselor and absorbed the young men to join the army. The rest rushed to Chang'an. These exiles could increase the burden on the Xiliang Army and make it unable to attack, which could also provide some time for the Central Plains princes to rest and recuperate.

The snow disaster in Liangzhou and Bingzhou seemed to be even bigger. The wooden houses built became a little shaky under the snow disaster. Seeing that the situation was critical, the general's mansion mobilized soldiers to clean up the snow, and on the other hand, organized soldiers to repair houses for the people.

Today, the people of Liangzhou have reached the point of self-sufficiency. Everyone has surplus food, which is not like Bingzhou. The people not only live poorly, but also have no money in their hands. They rely entirely on the support of the government. The Xiliang Army is different from the great benevolence and righteousness of the princes. If they want to have enough food, they can pay enough labor. Now Liangzhou There are still many roads that need to be repaired, many houses need to be built, and the people who come to visit. What they need most is a place where they can settle down. The officials in Chang'an can do these things with ease.

A lump of funds was quickly in place, and the people whose houses collapsed were gathered in emergency houses. The emergency houses were all built of stone and did not keep warm, but the degree of stability was stronger than those thatched houses and wooden houses. Although the disaster victims lived a hard time, it was better than being able to save their lives.

Jia Rong led the soldiers to walk on the road that was swept out. He looked at the busy people with a gratifying smile on his face. Today, the Xiliang Army is on the right track. Once there is a war, there is no need for Jia Rong to go to the battlefield in person. His fierce generals and advisers under his command are just sent to practice.

Yuan Shu in Yangzhou received a mysterious wooden box with four very small words "Yuan Shuqinqi" written on it to rule Yangzhou. Yuan Shu had money, soldiers and food in his hand. He lived a good life. God seemed to take good care of Yangzhou and did not have a big disaster.

Looking at the people in the room, Yuan Shu gently opened the box.

What came into sight was a thing wrapped in yellow silk, which could not stop the curiosity in his heart. Yuan Shu uncovered the yellow cloth layer by layer.

With just one look, Yuan Shu could no longer look away, and his mouth was surprised to hold eggs.

"Let's go back, General. I'm a little tired." After Yuan Shu reacted, he hurriedly put away the things in the yellow cloth. The fewer people saw this kind of thing, the better.

The generals got up and said goodbye.

Li Feng is the only one left in the house. "I don't know what the master got?" He is the master of Yuan Shu and is deeply useful. Whether it is marching to war or making suggestions, most of them are from Li Feng and is an important counselor of Yuan Shu's army.

Yuan Shu couldn't stop the smile on his face and gently pushed the box to Li Feng.

Li Feng observed carefully for a moment, and the look on his face was the same as that of Yuan Shu, but in surprise, his heart was full of worries. Yuxi's origin was unknown. This kind of thing is definitely not as magical as the legend, just an excuse for people who are ambitious in their hearts.

"God really helps me. In the past, I have heard that 'the generation of the Han Dynasty must be painted high'. My Yuan family is originally surnamed Chen and the descendant of Chen Naishun. If today's Yuxi is surrendered, the fate belongs to!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed. He had always hated Yuan Shao for overruling him. Now he has occupied the jade seal and ascended the throne to the throne. What else can Yuan Shao do? He obediently bowed his head and bowed to his minister. Thinking of this, he felt very happy.

Li Feng frowned slightly and advised, "Lord, no. Although Yangzhou is rich, there are Liu Biao in Jingzhou who looks at it. Liu Biao is a relative of the Han Dynasty. When he learns that the lord has a national jade seal in his hand, he will definitely raise troops to invade. Jiangdong Sun Ce is not an easy person. However, in a few years, he has unified Jiangdong, and his soldiers have enough food, and he has repeatedly met with Liu Biao. If you make a deal, you won't fall behind.

Yuan Shu picked up the jade seal and looked at the eight words "ordered by heaven, since longevity" under the jade seal and the golden edge inlaid in the corner of the jade seal. He smiled carelessly and said, "Liu Biao and Sun Ce, how can they stop our army!" It's just a local chicken and dog!"

"In the last year, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other places were all hit by snow disasters. Only I, Yangzhou, did not have it. This is my destiny. I am the person who is destined to return. The army is everywhere, and it must be a voice of submission." Yuan Shu snorted coldly, still immersed in the great pleasure brought by Yuxi.

Seeing that Yuan Shu had been fascinated by Yuxi, Li Feng persuaded him, "General, Yuxi is of great importance. I don't know how to deal with it?" Li Feng can speculate from the previous 'generation of the Han Dynasty' in Yuan Shu's mouth, but he still doesn't give up. The princes now show that he is calm. I'm afraid that as long as Yuan Shu becomes emperor, those quiet princes will immediately jump up and draw a clear line with Yuan Shu.

"The Han Dynasty declined, and today there is a great chaos. When he ascended the throne as emperor, and then let all the princes come to see him in Shouchun. If he does not obey, the army will be everywhere and will not be alive." Yuan Shu didn't notice the change of Li Feng's tone at all.

"Yuan Shao, Jizhou, has enough soldiers and food. He is also a person of the Yuan family. If he can get his help, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Li Fengdao, compared with Yuan Shu's half-hearted level, Yuan Shao is really strong. He holds a strong soldier in his hand, and his subordinate generals are like crucian carp crossing the river. However, these words can only be said in his heart that the two brothers of the Yuan family are not at peace, and everyone knows it.

Yuan Shu's face immediately pulled down. What he hated most was that others mentioned Yuan Shao in front of him. He was also a member of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao was the son of a concubine. Why could he become the leader of the coalition? Why could he occupy the prosperous place of Jizhou? This time, when he got the jade seal, the distance between him and Yuan Shao instantly increased. He thought of Yuan Shao will appear in front of him grovelingly, especially happy in his heart.

When Li Feng saw that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, he kept persuading him. He couldn't stand Li Feng's persuasion and promised to make a decision after a month. However, he was secretly preparing for the accession to the throne. Liu Biao of the Sun family in Jingzhou, Jiangdong, became the target of Yuan Shu's tying. He was a heavy official, so he didn't worry about being able to get help.
