The horse's hooves were trampled on the newly paved cement board road. The newly beaten horse's feet hit the cement and made a crisp and pleasant sound. It was about to go far away. It was undoubtedly a joy for an active animal like a horse.

But for people, it is sorrow of parting!

After coming to Puyang for a year, Wang Hou finally waved goodbye to this place and said goodbye. Indeed, he defeated Yan Liang and successfully transported away more than 500,000 stones of military rations that Puyang had harvested this year. Puyang's strategic significance has reduced him to the lowest level. The only unexpected thing is that Chunyu Qiong, who succeeded the military power of Hua County, was not the expected fool, and Wang Hou underestimated the greed of Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others.

Puyang gathered trade routes from east, west, south, north and north to obtain wealth, which was indeed in line with the interests of the Hebei tribes. However, the Puyang faction was not satisfied with participating in the Puyang market. They wanted to take this big vault into their own hands! The sentence before leaving Chunyu Qiong would come to Wang Hou to drink with Guo Tu, which was already clearly expressing this threat.

The Puyang School did not want to give Wang Hou a time to watch the wall. They urgently needed Wang Hou to surrender immediately to provide them with richer profits and support the Puyang School to compete for greater voice in the Hebei camp and gain a greater political territory.

But this puts Wang Hou in a situation where he has no way out. If he wants to protect Puyang, he has to surrender to Yuan Shao, otherwise Chunyu Qiong will start a large army to attack, but he wants him to surrender to Yuan Shao? Not to mention whether Cao Cao can spare him after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Hongjie, who is beside him, has to show his fingernail and scratch him to death. Even if he doesn't, Wang Hou dared not see this girl with a big belly and asked him with tears in tears, which one do you want, and I and the little bitch named Yuan beat you.

Well, it seems that something strange is getting mixed up?

Anyway, the ambiguous cooperation with the Hebei School has come to an end.

If you can't get along, then fight! If the war really starts to burn, relying on the cement wall of Puyang City, the grain storage and Hui Hui cannons, and forty years, Wang Hou has no confidence, but it is still more than half a year to fight.

The problem is, it's meaningless! The army swept past, and the salt farms, pig farms, docks, and fields he had worked hard to build outside the city must be destroyed, and the trade routes were cut off. More importantly, Cao Cao would never divide his troops to rescue him, and consumed his already weak troops in the city north of the Yellow River with no military value.

Then to protect Puyang, you have to protect your only way out, so you can only step down and get out of office. Once he leaves, Puyang can at least surrender to Yuan Shao. Moreover, with the arrangements he left behind, as long as Guo Tuchun and Yu Qiong do not plunder too hard, the business model here can be maintained. After the end of the Guandu War, Wang Hou can still make a comeback.

But it is never easy to retreat bravely.

His subordinates were dismantling the metal parts on the Huihui cannon arranged on the city wall. Looking back at the city wall, which was still slightly cemented, Wang Hou's face clearly showed a strong sense of reluctance.

"Mr.

Although it is a chaotic world of intrigue and deceitful Liu Fei is still a slick local clan leader, his voice of the Mansion really contains a lot of true feelings. Standing in front of Wang Hou's carriage, he bowed reluctantly.

Not only him, but all the remaining six major families in Puyang came, but also more than 30 major merchants who bought Puyang shops, big families in the east and west, chiefs, deputy historians, army Simas, and even many self-cultivated farmers who cultivated Puyang, thousands of people gathered at the south gate of Puyang City. Seeing Wang Hou turn around, they bowed heavily together.

It is rare that Zhao Yun continued to follow Wang Hou without leaving him, but listening to his complaints, Zhao Shuai couldn't help but yawn and said something fair.

"Who made your building so ugly!"

"Tsk, that's because you don't understand aesthetics. Two thousand years later, there will be such small buildings everywhere in the world. If you are not rich, you can't afford to live in it! I won't tell you those who have no art bacteria, let's go!"

Frustrated, Wang Hou got into the carriage. Looking at his back, Zhao Yun also smiled speechlessly and shook his head. Then he looked up, shook the banner of Wang on his shoulders, and roared with a long roar.

"The prefect goes on a patrol and gets up!"

.........

It is said that the Qing magistrate had 100,000 snowflakes in the past three years. It was true that when he set out to Dongjun, Wang Hou was poor and had only brought more than a dozen carriages, more than a hundred horses, and about a thousand servants. But when he came back, more than 200 carriages and 1,300 horses were drawn. The craftsmen who were willing to follow Wang Hou, the servants and Puyang soldiers plus one piece reached about 1,800 people. The vast team of the Yellow River Ferry was a whole afternoon before he finished.

Fortunately, there is no regulation that officials are not allowed to do business these days, otherwise Wang Hou would have been given double supervision first.

Although the East County on the north bank of the Yellow River has undergone a big change this year, the south bank of the Yellow River has not changed much. He went south together, and was still like a ruined village with thousands of thorns. When he was almost approaching the border of Jiyin County, Lihu County, he caught up with the grain transport team sent by Xu Du, and saw a little popularity.

The main road of the Yellow River in later generations is right in front of you, but it is called Jishui in front of you. It is not the mainstream of the Yellow River, but just a branch. The floating bridge in front is almost filled with the vast grain transport team. For the time being, Wang Hou’s road is blocked here.

Being Cao Cao's son-in-law had the advantage of making carriage regulations. Wang Hou finally had the courage to transform his two-wheeled carriage into a four-wheeled carriage, and he also used steel bars to absorb shock and jumped off the carriage. Looking at the Jishui that was still flowing during the dry season, he took a deep breath of fishy smell.

"It's so magnificent, it seems to be a little wider than the big river!"

"I really can't understand you, and I'm not willing to give up. Then why don't I fight Chunyu Qiong? We may not be able to beat him!"

He also pushed open the car door and stretched out, erecting his round belly. Until now, Cao Hongjie is still worried, but he is a girl who is married after all. This girl did not make trouble like before, and just silently supported Wang Hou.

However, I was really worried about how to explain the complex political relationship to her. Wang Hou simply used the same trick again, changed the subject, and waved his hand vigorously and pointed directly at the ferry in front of him where the horse and ox carts were busy doing transportation, showing off boldly.

"Look at the Red Festival, right in front of me, Xu Du's army will defeat the bandits of Yuan Shao from the north and unify the north from here!"

"You can really brag!"

Cao Hongjie was also trapped as usual. Looking at the ferry, she curled her mouth with disdain: "The entire Dongjun here is lost, how is it possible? My Xiangfu won't be as turtle as you! He will definitely defend the enemy by the Yellow River!"

Seeing the girl's angry look, Wang Hou smiled but said nothing, but once, his sight swam quickly on the wide ferry.

Later generations are called Zhongmu, and at this time, this land is called Guandu!

However, just as Wang Hou was imagining the future war with great enthusiasm, a shout from afar came, and the sound of horseshoes unique to his friendship with Wang Hou was crackling and crackling, and a big black man was waving his hands from afar, shouting from afar.

"Is the Prince of the Dongjun Prefecture?"

Just like seeing a dinosaur, Wang Hou jumped onto the shaft of the car in disbelief. In the dim dusk, he held his slap and then responded in disbelief: "But General Xu, a tiger crazy?"

"Hey, it's said that someone has fled from the north with the horse team. I guess, except for Wang Tu, who begs you, there is no one else, haha! The Prime Minister has also arrived, so let Xu call you to see him quickly! Come here!"

Seeing Xu Chu's warm old face leaning over, Wang Hou almost vomited blood. He glanced at Cao Hongjie who was covering his little mouth and laughing secretly. He gritted his teeth and poked his head into the carriage.

"Qi Ling, Master, I'll go to see the Prime Minister and go back. Don't run around here!"

The intimate voice made Cao Hongjie's girl jealous, but after her little hand was held by Wang Hou, she still obediently followed him and Xu Chu.

"Let's go and see your father-in-law!"

.........

He is worthy of being a master of the strategist and tactician. After the autumn harvest in September, Cao Cao, who had already smelled the atmosphere of war, led his army out of Xudu, and relied on about two kilometers east of Guandu Ferry. Today they had just crossed the river completely. The camp has not yet been built intact. Only some campfires are as small as fireflies. It is no wonder that Wang Hou did not discover it immediately.

However, he is really not popular. He just entered the brightly lit Central Army camp of President Cao, and there was a loud shout inside, spitting out the stars and spitting on his face.

"The abandonment of the land and fled, causing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Puyang City to fall into the hands of Chunyu Qiong! Wang Tu begs you to have the face to come back!"

I really don’t know why Wang Hou offended Xun Yu and Xun Linggong. Since the Dong Cheng Rebellion in March, he has been disliked by him. When he entered the tent, he even pointed at Wang Hou’s nose and bowed heavily to Cao Cao.

"This man is as timid as a mouse, and he fled after losing his territory. Prime Minister! The ministers think he should be killed! He should shock his army's power!"

Yang Xiu followed him and he didn't like him. This guy also clasped his fists and hummed.

"Prime Minister, the war is imminent, Yuan thieves are in great power. If everyone learns from the prefect of Dongjun, no one will move forward bravely and fight for the death of the court. Prime Minister thinks twice!"

However, the two civil officials were so murderous here that they were just yelling, but none of the heavy generals caught a cold. Xiahou Dun, who was acquainted with Wang Hou, simply yawned and shook the cold-forged lobster armor given to him by Wang Hou.
