Chapter 111: Lord of Yanzhou
A loud squeak made Cao Cao, who was in the center of the Cao army under the soldiers in Chen Liucheng, sitting on the chariot, set his eyes on Chen Liucheng, and after seeing the gradually opening city gate and the lowered suspension bridge, Cao Cao smiled, and a flash of excitement and ambition flashed in his eyes: "It seems that Zhongde has succeeded, give the order, the whole army will enter the city!" ”

The soldiers took Chen Liu bloodlessly, so that the morale of the army under Cao Cao Cao was high, and they shouted in unison, and then 30,000 Cao soldiers and soldiers entered Chen Liu as the vanguard force, and ruled Chen Liu's city walls, city gates, arrow towers, and so on.
At this time, Liu Dai, the former lord of Yanzhou, came to Cao Cao with seals, books, and topographic maps, knelt down on his knees, and raised the things in his hands and said: "Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, hereby ask Cao Gong to surrender, I only hope that Cao Gong will not harm the people in the city." ”
Cao Cao got out of the chariot, and under the escort of the fierce general behind him, he came to Liu Dai, first took the things in Liu Dai's hand, put them aside, and helped Liu Dai up with a smile on his face: "Gongshan, please get up, you and Cao are similar, no matter what, Cao will definitely not treat Gongshan badly, in the future, Cao is not there, the whole Yanzhou will still listen to Gongshan, as for the people in the city, Gongshan is even more assured, after all, from now on they are the people under Cao's rule." ”
Although Liu Dai surrendered to Cao Cao because of the desperate road of reality, after hearing Cao Cao's last words, he still felt a throbbing pain in his heart, but under the eaves, Liu Dai also had to bow his head, as for Cao Cao said that he could still command Yanzhou if he was not in the future, Liu Dai couldn't believe it at all, so he said with a grateful face: "Thank you Cao Gong, but Dai has been tired in recent years, and he has long wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, so I hope that Cao Gong will allow Dai to make this wish." ”
Liu Dai's initiative to postpone made Cao Cao very satisfied, after all, it was better not to kill Liu's Han clan relatives at this time, so after a few moments, Cao Cao regretfully agreed to Liu Dai's farewell to his hometown.
However, for the sake of Liu Dai's safety, Cao Cao was still ready to send three hundred soldiers to escort Liu Dai to Hangu Pass, as for whether this so-called escort had the intention of surveillance, it is difficult to say.
After solving Liu Dai's problem, Cao Cao led the army into the city, I have to say that Cao's influence in Chen Liucheng is still very strong, at least the people in the city after learning that it was Cao Jun who entered the city, one by one came out of the house, welcoming Cao Jun who entered the city, and after seeing Cao Cao sitting on the chariot, he knelt down one by one, and shouted in unison: "Long live Cao Gong!" ”
Long live Cao Gong's voice is endless, Cao Cao, who is sitting in the chariot, is very satisfied with the people in the city so welcome and support him, and the influence of the Cao family in Chen Liucheng is also why Cao Cao agreed to Xi Zhicai's statement that he would first capture Yanzhou as the foundation.
Chen Liu's state pastor's mansion, compared to the mansion of sour jujube and the Taishou mansion in Puyang, it can be said to be more than one grade high-end, at least Dian Wei and Xu Chu, after they walked in, they were dazzled, and even Cao Cao felt in a trance.
The state pastoral mansion can't be said to be splendid, all of them are made of gold or something, so it will not make Cao Cao feel in a trance, but feel disdainful, gold paving or something, it is simply something that only an upstart or a barbarian would do.
The reason why the State Pastor Mansion made Cao Cao feel in a trance was because the entire State Pastor Mansion was filled with an inexplicable atmosphere, and it was easy for people to feel the majesty and solemnity of this mansion when they were in a comfortable mood.
Looking at such an antique mansion full of the wisdom of the ancient Han people, Cao Cao had to sigh that the Chinese people of later generations had indeed lost too much precious wealth.
After Cao Cao came back to his senses from this state pastor, he looked at the most accessible position, and the civil and military forces under Cao Cao glanced at each other, and bent down to Cao Cao and said, "Please take a seat!" ”
Cao Cao walked forward step by step, and the Heavenly Sword on his waist slapped on the armor from time to time as he walked, and there was a clanging sound, like a piece of music.
Stepping up the steps, holding on to the armrest of the seat, Cao Cao's eyes sharpened, turned to face the civil and military below, bent his legs, and knelt on the seat that represented the seventy-eight counties of the eight counties of Yanzhou.
Although Cao Cao captured Chenliu at this time, it does not mean that the entire Yanzhou is completely under his control, at least the counties on the border of Yanzhou that belong to Chenliu County do not belong to Cao Cao at this time, so the first thing Cao Cao did at this time was to send troops to occupy these counties one by one, as for the candidates for sending troops.
Cao Cao's gaze shifted to Yu Ban's body and said loudly: "Wen Ze, you lead 50,000 troops, you must rush ahead of Yuan Shu's army, and take the seven counties of Waihuang, Jiyin, Dongdu, Xiaohuang, Junyi, Fengqiu, Pingqiu, and Changyuan!" ”
Yu Ban, who was appointed to lead the army for the first time with 50,000 troops, was very moved by Cao Cao's value and trust, and responded in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!" ”
After the ban, Cao Cao began to do the second thing, that is, personnel appointment and dismissal, first of all, the eight counties of Yanzhou, namely the East County Taishou Xiahou Dun, Jiyin County Taishou Lejin, Shanyang County Taishou Cao Hong, Ren Chengguo Taishou Xiahou Yuan, Dongping Guo Taishou Li Dian, Jibei Guo Taishou Chen Gong, Taishan County Taishou Xun Yu, as for the Taishou of Chenliu County, Cao Cao in order to avoid the recurrence of Liu Dai and Zhang Miao's situation, Cao Cao canceled the position of Chen Liujun Taishou.
After the completion of such an appointment, Cao Cao suddenly found that the number of talents under his command was still too small, otherwise, there was no need to put the talents of a country and generals like Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan in the position of the county guard, so Cao Cao issued a third order, that is, a recruitment order.
Cao Cao believes that the last recruitment order can allow him to obtain a talent like Xi Zhicai, so I think that after the spread of the major things he has done during this period of time, this recruitment order will definitely be able to recruit more talents!
After the recruitment order, it is the fourth order, that is, the whole army, Cao Cao's army at this time has already exceeded the initial 100,000, after the integration of Yu Poison's 60,000 and nearly 70,000 former Liu Dai soldiers, the strength under his command has already reached an astonishing 230,000.
But with the increase in numbers, the combat strength of Cao's army is inevitably declining, there was no way and no time for some time ago, and now that Yanzhou has been taken, it can be settled for a period of time, Cao Cao began to prepare to reorganize the army that is now a little bloated.
