Chapter 179. From President Wang to Xiao Wang

This is the main theme of life in the late Han Dynasty, farming and fighting!

Farming, harvesting enough food, then making iron and grinding weapons, going to the neighbors' home to grab territory, obtaining new land, and then plowing the fields, harvesting more food, feeding more younger brothers, and continuing to fight.

In May, troops were sent in Xudu, gathering 5,000 troops from Zhang Xiu, Nanyang, and 35,000 troops under Xuduba Mansion. Gao Lan and Zhang He surrendered and brought 10,000 Hebei soldiers and 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers, a total of 55,000 troops. He also recruited 120,000 civilians and men from various counties such as Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Chenguo who had just finished their spring plowing. The army went north to force the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River. The strategic goal this time was Cangting Pavilion at the Yellow River Ferry.

There, Yuan Shao once again gathered the soldiers from Youzhou, Jizhou, and the soldiers and civilians were strong, which also had 200,000 people, which greatly threatened the security of the Central Plains.

This time, Cao Cao's strategic plan defeated the main Hebei team and set up a bridgehead for the competition for Jizhou.

However, Wang Hou was destined to have no chance to participate in this battle. As the army rushed north, an inconspicuous team of only 3,000 people left Xudu, with more than 100 carriages and more than 1,000 cows, and moved eastward with their families.

Needless to say, this is Wang Hou’s team!

This time his troops also added some new members. When they walked to the front, they wore felt hats and leather robes under their armor. Some of them were very different from those in the Central Plains. There were a total of more than 200 elite Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by General Zhang Liao, Marquis of Yanting.

In the Battle of White Horse, Wang Hou and Zhang Liao cooperated well, so Cao Cao transferred him to Wang Hou's command.

There is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who was facing his carriage, with an old face like bitter gourd.

If you really want to talk about the old turtle, Jia Xu even surpassed Sima Yi. He returned from the rebellion of Guanzhong at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was a veteran of the three dynasties. He was a veteran of the Three Kingdoms who had gone through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, and Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the late period, he even reached the position of Taiwei, one of the three dukes, which shows how capable he is.

Especially since this guy is not from a big family, he can achieve these achievements all rely on his own talent!

However, the old guy Jia Xu is also very good at dealing with things. He always puts himself in a relatively low position and remains neutral as an isolated minister. No matter who you form a gang, I will not join forces, Cao Pi does not object to the Han Dynasty, and Sima Yan does not stand up for Wei. No matter who is on his head, just do things silently.

He actually didn't have much kindness to help Wang Hou. Now the Xudu court is the leader of the Yingchuan faction, and Wang Hou belongs to an external force in Bingzhou to show goodwill to Wang Hou. Fortunately, everyone is under the pressure of the Yingchuan faction to join the group to keep warm.

However, his neutral plan of pretending was broken by Wang Hou's mouth. Last time, in front of Cao Cao, Wang Hou specially proposed this plan by Jia Xu and Jia Wen and Mr.! First, he put up a bridge with Jia Xu in front of Cao Cao, and this time he simply tied up a piece of it completely. As soon as Cao Cao changed his job, Wang Hou immediately recommended Jia Xu as his deputy. If he was so tugging, even if Jia Xu didn't want to be with him, he would be a Bingzhou faction label in front of outsiders.

No wonder this guy was like a slut, grinning while sitting opposite Wang Hou.

There was another one that made Wang Hou quite happy. He actually kidnapped another turtle spirit, Sima Yi, under his command!

Don’t say, it was actually Wang Hou who really demonized this guy! Don’t look at Sima Yi being three or four years older than him at this time and was well-known in the aristocratic family, but in his official position, he was just a literary official with a rank of 400 stones! Xu Du’s official position, he could pour seven or eight out of a basin of foot washing water. Moreover, Cao Cao had to recruit him to be an official, and he didn’t like how outstanding his talent was. All he wanted was his reputation. There were also some geniuses in the Hanoi County who became officials in the court! You can work for me, Mr. Cao with peace of mind!

Even when Wang Hou proposed to take Sima Yi with him, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he heard who this guy was. He nodded indifferently and agreed. This guy has been messing around in Xu Du recently. In Cao Cao's opinion, the carriage that has not yet hit Wang Hou is valuable!

Seeing that this guy was still unaware of his tragic fate, he was walking on stirrups not far away and watching the scenery around with interest. Wang Hou couldn't help but show a gloomy sneer on the corner of his mouth. Now this old thief has let himself round and pinch it flat!

When I crossed the Yellow River in a while, did I put him on the sack and threw him into the river to feed the turtles? Or did I wait until I got to the place and looked for a dark and windy night or buried this guy in the sack?

"My lord smiled, have he thought of the starting strategy?"

"Forehead……"

Suddenly, the voice interrupted Wang Hou's gloomy pride

This old guy Jia Xu is a bachelor. Since he has been on Wang Hou's pirate ship, he is not pretentious, and he directly calls him the title of lord. Although this word is not actually like in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", only a great hero like Liu Bei and Sun Quan is worthy of it. As long as he is a big family leader, he can be called lord. However, his gentry's foreign surname called Wang Hou as lord, obviously like Zhao Yun, recognized Wang Hou's leadership position.

But his problem made Wang Hou unable to help but suck his teeth in tragic manner. Without any advice, Cao Cao's new appointment was really a big problem.

Cao Cao did promote Wang Hou! And he is not an ordinary high-ranking official, the governor of Qingzhou!

Note that this is the governor of the state, not the governor! Although the jurisdiction unit is the same, the governor of the state is much more powerful than the governor who obeys the court's acceptance of his orders, which is equivalent to the princes who are separating the side! Just like General Cao himself, the prime minister also commands the governor of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao himself commands the governor of Jizhou. Although he, the governor of Qingzhou, cannot compare with the two previous bosses, he can at least compete with Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou today!

However, the reason for giving such great power is that the problem that needs to be faced is no less difficult than forcing a rooster to lay eggs. Qingzhou is not in Cao Cao's hands, but one of the four northern prefectures of Yuan Shao, led by Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi. The only one Cao Cao had any connection with Qingzhou was Taishan County. The Taishan bandits of the four major thieves at the end of the Han Dynasty once served under Lu Bu. When he captured Lu Bu in Xuzhou, the Taishan bandit leader Zang Ba also led the Taishan people to surrender. Cao Cao appointed a group of Taishan bandit leaders as county magistrates.

Those who truly belong to Cao Cao's power have no soldiers in Qingzhou yet, and even Wang Hou has no place to settle down in Qingzhou. When he was in Dongjun, he was Mr. Wang. When he arrived here, he became a little king in an instant!

"The starting point? Let's go to Guangling, Xuzhou to find my brother Chen Deng, please borrow some food and fodder weapons, and then recruit thousands of Danyang soldiers. Let's try it from the Donghai Kingdom to go north!"

Qingzhou is indeed a breakthrough in the battle with Yuan Shao, but in addition to a letter of appointment from Qingzhou Mu, Cao Cao gave him a total of Jia Xu and Zhang Liao to take 200 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The difficulty of the start was simply hell. Wang Hou said dejectedly...

He said that after hearing what he said, Jia Xu shook his head heavily in regret.
