He is still thinking of finding an opportunity to recruit Zhao Yun!

Who would have thought that before he could take action, Zhao Yun would take the initiative to surrender to Xi Yu.

What is this?

The current situation made Cao Cao a little helpless and a little envious.

He is very clear about Zhao Yun's strength. He is a strong general who is not weaker than Dian Wei, and is even much stronger than the generals under him.

However, since the other party surrendered to Xi Yu, Cao Cao had no choice but to do so.

……

Late December, winter solstice!

Before the New Year's Eve, Cao Cao held the last meeting of the year in the Juancheng Government Office.

In the final analysis, it is just a matter of summarizing the rewards for the Battle of Xuzhou a few years ago.

Because of this news, the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren, who were originally stationed in Xuzhou, all left their things to their subordinates and returned to Yanzhou alone.

Within the government office.

After everyone sat down separately, Xi Yu also sat among them.

"Brother, are you willing to come back?"

Looking at Xi Zhicai on the side, Xi Yu felt a little helpless. After returning from Xuzhou, Xi Zhicai stayed in Juancheng for a few days and then ran away on his own initiative.

Xiyu naturally knows where the other party has gone.

It was nothing more than running to Yingchuan to find Guo Jia and the two of them died drunkenly.

"Have a few days of rest. Nothing major happened recently, right?"

Xi Zhicai looked unconcerned. Then he seemed to think of something and looked at Xi Yu again.

"I heard that Zhao Yun surrendered to you?" Xi Zhicai asked lightly.

"Well, Zilong did join me some time ago!"

Xi Yu nodded, the whole Juancheng knew about this, and Xi Zhicai's knowledge did not surprise him at all.

Hearing this, Xi Zhi frowned.

It's not a bad thing for Zhao Yun to join Xi Yu, but some things still need to be measured.

Now he is under Cao Cao's command. Although Xi Yu appears to be the Taicang Order of the Han Dynasty, in fact he is still a counselor under Cao Cao.

It would not be a good thing if someone with good intentions takes advantage of it.

However, Xi Zhicai is not worried about this kind of thing.

In today's world, there are open guns and hidden arrows, and there are very few people who can hurt Xi Yu.

Since his brothers don't care, he naturally feels at ease.

The two brothers exchanged a few words, and Cao Cao, who was in the first place, had already begun to summarize the battle of Xuzhou.

"I have told the court a few days ago that my first contribution in this battle should be righteousness!"

When Cao Cao spoke, everyone had no objection to his words.,

When the grain road was destroyed, if Xi Yu had not personally improved the transport vehicles and transported grain and grass to the front line, the entire Xuzhou battle would not have been so smooth.

What's more, Xi Yu's contribution to the subsequent battles between generals is even more obvious.

Everyone was meaningless, so Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Yu.

"Following your righteousness and relying on your bravery, are you willing to lead an army alone?"

Now that Zhao Yun had just surrendered to Xi Yu, Cao Cao thought of Xi Yu's bravery on the battlefield and felt the urge to let Xi Yu lead an army.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, all the generals in the Cao camp looked at Xi Yu with envy.

Being able to lead an army alone is no small matter. This is equivalent to Cao Cao directly delegating power!

Even for the generals of the Cao family, it is not that easy to lead an army alone.

Except for Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan who can temporarily lead the army, the rest of the Cao family are still waiting in line!

As for Yu Jin, Li Qian and others are just some of the lieutenants under Cao Cao's account!

Everyone looked at Xi Yu with envy, but the latter's face turned a little dark.

What leads the army alone?

He said that he was just a counselor!

"My lord, please forgive me for not being able to accept it!"

Xiyu handed over his hand and refused sternly. Then he seemed to feel that the refusal was too direct, so he continued to speak.

"My lord, I will be responsible for spring plowing in the spring after the new year. Since my lord said that I have done a good job in transporting grain, you might as well hand over the heavy supplies to me!"

Xi Yu retreated to the next best thing. He did not say that he wanted to lead the army alone, but continued the spring plowing and asked for the supply camp alone.

After hearing this, everyone in the lobby became somewhat understanding.

What’s so good about the baggage camp?

It has no other use than transporting food, grass, ordnance. By saying this, Xi Yu made it clear that he didn’t want to be a military commander.

Knowing Xi Yu's character, everyone in the lobby didn't say anything, and Cao Cao, the leader, was also a little stunned.

However, since Xi Yu can give in, it is already a good thing.

"Fengyi, you..."

"That's all, let's go to the heavy supply camp!"

Cao Cao nodded helplessly. He wanted to let the other party lead troops to fight, but who knew that the other party had already told him about spring plowing?

And this matter is indeed extremely important.

Since Xi Yu wants to support the camp, then give it to the other party!

After Xi Yu's matter was resolved, Cao Cao then began to reward Cao Ren.

Of course, no rewards from the imperial court have been issued at the moment, and Cao Cao can't promise any official positions on the surface, but the rewards he deserves are no less.

After the discussion, everyone was in a good mood.

At this time, Xiyu had arrived at the supply camp, and after thinking about it, he still asked Cao Cao.

"Lord, can I choose the soldiers in the transport camp myself?"

Although the supply camp is not a combat unit, who says that the supply camp cannot be fought?

Xi Yu is not the kind of person who sticks to rules. Since he is now in charge of the supply camp, he does not want to have a group of old, weak, sick and disabled subordinates under him.

"Oh, my soldiers and horses under Cao Ying are allowed to be selected by Fengyi to join the camp, and no one can hinder them!"

After hearing Xi Yu's request, Cao Cao agreed without hesitation.

It's just a baggage camp, with a full force of only 3,000 people.

It’s okay to let Xiyu choose.

Hearing this, Xi Yu nodded immediately.

After the meeting, Xi Yu immediately went to the camp to select soldiers.

The whole process went very smoothly. I heard that Mr. Xi came to select the soldiers, and the soldiers in Cao camp were very enthusiastic.

In the end, Xi Yu successfully selected three thousand Qingzhou soldiers.

These people are all the Yellow Turban soldiers who pacified Yanzhou before. After all, they are soldiers who can survive in this troubled world. They are all extremely brave.

In the original history, Cao Cao was the only one who was convinced by these Qingzhou soldiers, but when Yanzhou was pacified previously, Xi Yu's presence was extremely conspicuous.

When riding alone to rescue Cao Cao, some Qingzhou soldiers remembered Xi Yu's figure.

What's more, a series of events later.

Today, the entire Qingzhou soldiers are far more convinced of Xi Yu than Cao Cao.

To be honest, these people can follow Cao Cao now only because of Xi Yu's existence.

Because of Yanzhou's new policies, spring plowing, and a series of benefits that benefit the people, Xi Yu's influence in Yanzhou is stronger than Cao Cao's.

Now in the entire Cao Camp, not only the original Yellow Turban soldiers, but also the entire Cao Camp soldiers are extremely convinced of Xi Yu.

Who doesn't want to be a soldier under a fierce general? They don't care about the supply camp, they just know how to follow Xi Yu.

Of course, Zhao Yun and the hundred local warriors he brought were also assigned to the supply camp by Xi Yu, which Cao Cao had no objection at all.

After selecting the soldiers, Xi Yu handed them over to Zhao Yun and did not stay any longer.

There are only a few days left before the New Year, and even the training in the military camp has relaxed a lot.

"Sir, are you too kind to one?"

Xi Yu and Dian Wei had just left the military camp when Dian Wei beside him couldn't help but shout.
