Chapter 242 Xi Yu refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going to Xuchang to receive the title(2/2)

Huang Zhongda laughed for a while, and then said: "I have a salary of 1,000 households in the city. I have already become rich and have no worries about food and clothing. I still want more rewards!"

The Huang family is also a family of officials, but it is not a big family. Only the fathers are officials, but there is no member of the clan.

"Haha, Old General Huang thinks clearly, but there are too few people like Old General in the world."

"Hahaha……"

Huang Zhong immediately laughed and said, "Of course there are not many, but as far as I know, there are 60,000!"

"Sixty thousand?!"

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others on the side also had shocked expressions on their faces.

"I have 60,000 Qingzhou soldiers under my command. Everyone wants to take credit, so naturally there are 60,000 Liuwanzi. Moreover, these people are all farmers and do not have much education. They only need to give some rewards, which is fine.

The appetite is not very high-profile.”

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately looked at the group of advisers and generals under his command. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he looked at Xi Yu, "Fengyi, I'm waiting for you tonight because you are the one who will make the most of my achievements in the war in Jizhou.

"

"If I have a document here and draw up a list of people who have made great contributions, I will report it to the emperor and reward them in turn according to their merits."

"Now that you are here, you can tell me how much Xuzhou has done for me." Cao Cao said solemnly.

Xi Yu then took out a letter from his sleeve, leaned slightly and said, "Brother, if I am the one who has made great contributions to Xuzhou, then I will talk about it with you all."

"Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Huaiyang North, Jizhou East, there are 21 counties in total, with a total of more than 16 million people. The list was compiled by the county magistrates in various places. I placed it in the Xuzhou Administrative Office.

Brother Xu Jing and Xu Shao are in charge."

"This year, 120 officials were appointed in the territory, 60 officials were promoted, and 130 officials were rewarded."

"The generals in the army promoted 30 people and appointed 260 people. The treasury contains 1.3 million taels. The treasury contains 3.26 million taels. The remaining coins are more than 600,000 taels..."

Having said that, Xi Yu took out more letters that he had prepared. As a result, there were more and more letters, but they were all included in Huang Zhong's baggage.

It took Zhuge Liang three months to come up with this strategy for writing a summary report. This was Xi Yu's request, although he didn't know that Xi Yu would ask for it.

"As of today, within the territory under my jurisdiction, including the territory of Qingzhou where Cheng Yu is located, there are 300,000 soldiers and 2.2 million dan of grain and grass. There is no statistics after this year's autumn harvest."

"But now there is food and grass everywhere, 170,000 horses, 400,000 soldiers and armor, and a total of 4,600 ordnance, including siege equipment..."

"General, four hundred and ten people."

"General, thirteen people."

"There are five great generals."

Parents are proud of their children joining the army. After all, if young people join the army, they will receive a tax exemption and a reward. After being implemented for a period of time, soldiers and horses in many counties and counties will follow suit.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were stunned when they heard this.

Even more panicked.

Because at this time, Xiyu's troops, horses, and food were many times stronger and more abundant than before.

However, the number of soldiers and horses in other states and counties is larger and smaller, and it will take at least a period of time to recuperate before repairing.

However, the bustling Xuzhou is like an endless city, and the source of troops is more like an endless river, which can continuously replenish troops.

Quite surprising.

There are too many people playing Yu Yu!!

Unbelievable!

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, feeling very surprised and a little scared.

How could he not be afraid?

His large areas of Yanzhou and Jizhou had only more than 200,000 troops combined.

There are also surrendered troops who have been recruited, and some veterans have retired. Now there are only more than 200,000 left, and Cao Cao himself doesn’t know how many troops there are specifically...

However, Xi Yu now knows the specific troop status, defense arrangements and detailed maps of the four states under his command.

If Xi Yu wanted to rebel, he would be able to annex Yanzhou within a month, and Cao Cao would not even have a chance to wait for rescue.

At this time, everyone in the Cao clan felt as if there was a knife constantly placed on their necks.

That Xiyu is the man holding the sword.

More than 300,000 soldiers and horses?

The army is well-equipped and there are many talents.

Xuzhou is a place where literati gather. In the past two years, many romantic poems and articles have been spread from Xuzhou, and the hermits seem to have found a real place to live in seclusion, and they all moved to Xuzhou.

The main reason is that even if Xi Yu knew that there was a famous person in the territory, he would not bother him.

Because there are many talented and learned people under his command, as long as someone wants to be an official, he can do so by entering a school or "Science Academy".

Xuzhou under Xi Yu's rule has a unique charm compared with other states and counties.

For example, if you ask the Jingzhou gentry, no one among them knows "Xi Yu's first law of mechanics". Although Xi Yu has explained it many times, it is called Newton's first law, but no one believes this. They prefer to believe in "Newton's first law". 'It's just a pseudonym for Xi Yu.

Moreover, there are many similar pseudonyms, including one called Chicken, Duck, De, etc.

In short, this knowledge was so astonishing that it aroused the scholars' thirst for knowledge, and they became even more unwilling to leave Xuzhou.

After hearing this report, Cao Cao laughed dryly for a while, then took a sip of wine, and then asked his maid to pour the wine. Then he raised his glass and asked Xi Yu, "Who wrote this article?"

Xi Yu answered truthfully, "It was written by Zhuge Kongming."

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful." Cao Cao then looked at Zhuge Liang and said with great satisfaction, "It's really wonderful. It's really admirable to have such a capable person under Fengyi!"

Not only that, Cao Cao clearly remembered that Xi Yu not only had so many powerful advisers, but he also had a group of fierce generals under his command!

Moreover, the Qingzhou soldiers are now under his control!

When he was in Yanzhou, Xi Yu was Cao Cao's great benefactor!

Such talent, such charm!

I'm afraid... like a tiger!

If the tiger wants to attack back, it will be difficult for the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan to resist.

Who can do this, and who can replace the Lord of the World?!

Is he really rebellious?

Cao Cao was very worried at the moment.

In the previous battle in Jizhou, Cao Cao had to rely on Xi Yu, but now he was riding a tiger with difficulty.

If Xi Yu is directly detained now and allowed to return to the position of Great Sinong or even Sikong, I am afraid that Xi Yu will definitely rebel when he returns to his army.

Just like what General Huang Hansheng said just now, he does not pursue glory and profit, nor does he want rewards. But what he knows is that at least 70,000 people want this reward.

But what they actually want is not a reward at all, but not to be bullied!

What does it mean to be bullied? That’s Xiyu!

If something happens to Xi Yu, I'm afraid many people will mutiny and rebel immediately because of it.

In this way, the surrounding areas of Yanzhou will definitely become chaotic again!

Therefore, if Xiyu's military power is immediately reduced, this is tantamount to seeking death.

Cao Cao turned around and looked at Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren very carefully. These two people no longer dared to get along with him as before, including Cao Chun, and they no longer dared to talk casually with Cao Cao.

The Cao family members and the Xiahou family members all heard Xi Yu once said something, and they always kept it in their hearts.

"Things can only be done three times!"

At that time, Xi Yu's words were so shocking that they kept lingering in Cao Cao's mind and lingering in the minds of all his clan members!

So far, they have used up two opportunities. If they anger Xi Yu for the third time, I'm afraid...

But for some reason, Cao Cao had an intuition in his heart that this day would come one day.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, maybe this was just his illusion.

"Fengyi, now you are as powerful as a general!"

Cao Cao turned around and said to Xi Yu with a smile.

Now, he and Xi Yu still want to remain as innocent as before.

But at this time, Xi Yu frowned slightly, cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare. Fengyi will always be my brother's minister."
