Chapter 287 Return to Yecheng

Cao Cao directly revealed Su Ming's purpose. In this case, Su Ming naturally had no need to hide it.

Su Ming nodded and said to Cao Cao: "Now half of the world is in the hands of the prime minister."

"If there is another war, Jingxiang must be captured first. If Jingxiang is not captured, the world will be difficult to bring peace to."

"If Jingxiang is taken, Sun Quan from Jiangdong will definitely not sit idly by."

"So, I would like to ask Wen Yuan to sit in Hefei and act as a pair of horns with me to contain Sun Quan."

"To be honest with the Prime Minister, I don't feel at ease with whoever is in charge of Hefei. Only Wenyuan is in charge of Hefei, so I can feel at ease!"

In the history of the previous life, when Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei, his eight hundred thousand exceeded one hundred thousand, and he became famous as Zhang Babai.

Let's put it this way: Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan.

As long as Zhang Liao is here, Sun Quan will be useless no matter how many soldiers and horses he has in his hands.

On the side, after Zhang Liao heard what Su Ming said, he was extremely moved!

Especially when Su Ming said that he didn't trust anyone who was in charge of Hefei, only him.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, Master, you have given me your back!

After hearing what Su Ming said, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded secretly.

As a military master, Cao Cao naturally knew that what Su Ming said was very reasonable.

The next time the sword is used, it will definitely be in the land of Jingxiang. Deploying Zhang Liao to Hefei in advance to be responsible for containing Sun Quan is indeed very beneficial to the overall situation.

After thinking of this, Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, are you willing to guard Hefei?"

"General, I am willing!" Zhang Liao responded directly without any hesitation.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, the young master trusts me so much, how can I betray the trust of the young master?

Seeing Zhang Liao's willingness, Cao Cao immediately made Zhang Liao the governor of Huainan and the general of Zhengdong, responsible for taking charge of Hefei.

Next, Cao Cao rewarded the soldiers who followed Su Ming to conquer Wuhuan Mountain one by one.

However, Su Ming was the only one left who had not been canonized.

"My son has made great contributions. Let's wait until he returns to Yecheng before he canonize him with the generals!" Cao Cao said.

Have these soldiers under Cao Cao guarded Liucheng not been rewarded yet?

Cao Cao plans to give a unified formal reward after returning to Yecheng.

Including these generals under Su Ming, Cao Cao is only giving verbal rewards now, and formal rewards will have to wait until he returns to Yecheng.

As for why he went back to Yecheng instead of Xudu?

Now let me mention another thought of Boss Cao.

Boss Cao wants to move the capital.

Move the capital from Xuchang to Yecheng.

In terms of city size, population, location and many other factors, Yecheng is more suitable as a capital than Xuchang.

At the beginning, when Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, he had no choice but to choose Xuchang as his capital.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's territory was not large and there were not many places that could be used as his capital. He could only choose Xuchang.

Now, after annexing Yuan Shao's territory, Cao Cao's territory has more than doubled!

Under this situation, Yecheng is obviously more suitable to be the capital than Xuchang.

After Cao Cao discussed his idea with the officials, they also got their approval.

After your power and territory have expanded, it is normal for you to want to change a place to be your capital.

Therefore, Cao Cao decided to return to Yecheng to award the reward, instead of returning to Xudu to award the reward.

After resting in Liucheng for a few days, the army was ready to return to Yecheng.

After leaving Zhang Xiu and 50,000 soldiers and horses, Su Ming was responsible for opening the way in front, and the army marched all the way towards Yecheng.

This time, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, good friends, separated.

Zhang Xiu stayed in Liucheng to guard the border, while Jia Xu received Cao Cao's important role because of his outstanding performance and was kept by his side.

Su Ming led the way to open the way for Prime Minister Cao. Along the way, the people heard that Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu had been defeated, and they lined the road to greet him.

This battle was won, and Prime Minister Cao's prestige had reached its peak.

In the past, when people mentioned Cao Cao, they might have negative rumors.

What, he is called a Han Prime Minister, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty.

What, cooperating with the emperor to order the princes!

But now, when people talk about Cao Cao, it is he who defeated the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu tribes that had been harassing the border for years.

At this time, even those scholars who think highly of themselves do not dare to insult Cao Cao.

Now, if anyone dares to scold Cao Cao, the people of the world will not be able to spare him.

Yecheng.

In Su Ming's small courtyard.

"Madam, this Xu You is too much!"

"He actually instigated some scoundrels to come to our place to cause trouble without even looking at who you are!" the maid complained to Zhen Mi.

Back then, when he was in Peiping, Cao Pi was beaten up by Su Ming.

Moreover, Cao Pi was the leader of the peace faction. Since he decided to go to war, Cao Cao sent Cao Pi back to Yecheng.

Also returning to Yecheng with Cao Cao was Cao Cao's old friend Xu You.

Cao Pi returned to Yecheng, and Xu You also returned to Yecheng. They were so cute that they ended up playing together for some reason.

These days, Cao Pi drinks with Xu You all day long. When drinking with Xu You, he also flatters Xu You, as if he really regards Xu You as his uncle.

After getting drunk, Cao Pi lost his ability to speak. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cao Pi vented all his dissatisfaction with Su Ming.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention!

Xu You thought to himself, Cao Pi called me uncle, I can't see my nephew being wronged.

Xu You had no way to deal with Su Ming, but Su Ming's woman Zhen Mi was in Yecheng!

The Xu family is the local leader of Yecheng. There are many ways to deal with a woman.

Xu You sent people to find some rogues, who gathered in front of Su Ming's house all day long, pointing fingers.

He said that Zhen Mi did not follow the rules of women, and also said that Zhen Mi should commit suicide to keep her innocence.

However, this is Su Ming's mansion after all, so they can only yell outside and dare not come in to cause trouble.

Zhen Mi's psychological quality is very good, and she also understands that Su Ming is really good to her.

Therefore, Zhen Mi stayed in the house all day without going out, not caring about the gossip outside.

Zhen Mi didn't care, but she made the maids in the mansion very angry.

Today, when the maid went out to buy groceries, a few scoundrels immediately came up to her, pointing and talking obscenities.

"Don't be upset, don't be angry."

"The mouth is in other people's mouths. They can say whatever they like. Can't we just not listen?" Zhen Mi said with a slight smile, without any hint of anger.

The maid curled her lips and said angrily: "When the young master comes back, I must complain to him and kill them all."

Zhen Mi tapped the maid's forehead with her hand and cursed with a smile: "How can you be so murderous at such a young age?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about them!"
