After Cao's army conquered Puyang, Yanzhou followed Zhang Miao, Chen Gong raised an uprising in Shanyang County, which welcomed Lu Bu. After hearing the news of Lu Bu's defeat, the prefects of Jiyin County were afraid of Cao Cao's revenge, so they all hung seals and fled with their families. Zhang Miao did not dare to leave with Yuan Shu, Yangzhou, who had a grudge against Cao Cao. Xue Lan and Li Feng were killed by Cao Ren when they abandoned the city and fled. Since then, the local forces and the resistance forces in the territory of Liu Dai, the former governor of Yanzhou, were all eliminated, and Cao Cao became the true master of Yanzhou.

Although the food and supplies were still sufficient after the continuous battles, the soldiers were exhausted. After returning to Juancheng, Cao Cao ordered the entire army to rest at the suggestion of Cheng Yu, and after the autumn harvest, he would send troops to Xuzhou again to avenge his family.

I also instigated Cao Cao to build the Yanzhou Public School, stipulating that all children of Yanzhou officials over the age of six or ten must be sent to the public school until they were eighteen years old. Cao Cao took the lead in sending his second son Cao Pi to the public school, and then there were Xiahou Dun's son Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Yuan's son, and Cheng Yu's son Cheng Wu, successively reported. Whether the other officials agreed, helped or disgusted, they could only send their children to Juancheng.

After the official school started, in addition to a regular teacher who taught literature and martial arts, he also invited famous scholars to give lectures from time to time. The initiator of the public school was also invited. After thinking about it, I decided not to go. It is not the time for me to intervene. Let these kids learn some classic subsets first.

Although I didn't interfere in the affairs of the public school, I still did some tricks in secret.

My suggestion and suggestion were established in the public school to allow these children to manage daily things in the public school by themselves, and also called it the purpose of allowing the children of these officials to exercise their coordination and organizational skills from an early age so that they can become officials and those who are in power in the future.

The equal election method is adopted in the composition of the leadership organization of the student association. The first time is that the public school first designates the candidates, and then the children of officials conduct secret ballots on each of the candidates. Those who receive more than half of the votes are selected will be selected into the student association. If someone does not receive enough votes, the public school will designate the candidates again.

The term of office of the Student Association is half a year. After the expiration, the public school organizes personnel to listen to the report of the President of the Student Association, evaluate the gains and losses of the Student Association and determine whether to disband the Student Association. If the Public School believes that the Student Association cannot perform its duties well, it can announce the disbandment of the Student Association. If the Student Association is announced to be disbanded, it can apply for a vote of confidence for the Student Association under the supervision of the Public School. If the votes of support are obtained exceed 70%, the Student Association will continue to remain in office until the next evaluation.

When Cao Cao listened to my suggestions on the Student Association, he was very interested in this voting election, but he also disagreed with the behavior of the Student Association being able to resist the decisions of the public school. My explanation is that these are just games that make children forget that they are not with their parents, and there is no need to be too demanding. Moreover, doing so is just to let these officials learn some principles of dealing with people. Cao Cao thought about it and agreed happily, but the consequences that a few years later were unexpected, and I didn't expect them.

Because the students in the public school will be my suggestion, I also got a title similar to a consultant.

In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest season will be coming, and the army is also preparing for the launch of Xuzhou after the autumn harvest. Unfortunately, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. This year, locust plagues occurred everywhere, and many counties have no grains. In Guandong, each grain is one hu of grain, and the direct money is 50 stagnant, and the people change their children and eat them.

The disaster in Yanzhou is also very serious. Fortunately, there is still a lot of food in the military farm and stored for two years, which can be barely used by the military and civilians in Yanzhou for half a year.

Just when we were worried about how to survive this desolate year, news came from Xuzhou that Tao Qian died. Before his death, he actually gave Xuzhou's pastor to Liu Bei, and Lu Bu also fled to Xuzhou with the remnants of the army and was placed in Xiaopei by Liu Bei.

It turned out that Tao Qian was in his sixties when our army drove Lu Bu out of Puyang. Tao Qian got seriously ill in Xuzhou. Tao Qian, who was on the bed, invited Mi Zhu and Chen Deng to discuss matters.

Mi Zhu said: "The Cao army left because Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou. Now I heard that Lu Bu has been defeated, and Cao army will arrive again in spring. The Fujun wanted to give way to Liu Xuande, but the Fujun was still strong, so Liu Xuande refused to accept it. Now the Fujun is sick, so he can just give it to him, but Xuande refused to refuse."

Tao Qian nodded and said goodbye, and sent someone to Xiaopei to invite Liu Bei. On the sickbed, he handed over the Xuzhou seal to Liu Bei. Liu Bei refused, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei repeatedly advised each other. Xuande then allowed Quan to take charge of Xuzhou affairs; he sent Sun Gan and Mi Zhu as auxiliary, and Chen Deng as the official. He took all Xiaopei troops into the city and went out to calm the people. He arranged funerals. Xuande and all the soldiers of all sizes were filial, and they set up a large-scale memorial service and buried them in the land of the Yellow River. At the same time, Tao Qian's resignation was submitted and submitted to the court.

When Cao Cao was in Juancheng, he knew that Tao Qian was dead. Liu Xuande had chosen the advantage and took over the land of the state for nothing. He said furiously: "I have not revenged my grudges, and you will not take any effort to sit in Xuzhou! I will kill Liu Bei first, and then kill Qian's corpse to make a family feud!" He was about to raise an army to attack Xuzhou.

Xun Yu advised: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu protected Guanzhong and Guangwu occupied Henei. They all had deep roots and roots to control the world, advance to defeat the enemy, retreat to defend, so even if they were in trouble, they would eventually make great achievements. Ming Gong was the first to serve Yanzhou, and He was the key place of the world, and this was also Guanzhong and Henei. If you go to take Xuzhou, if there are more troops, it would be insufficient to use. If there are fewer troops, you would be afraid that the Yuan brothers will take advantage of the invasion to attack him, so there would be no Yanzhou. If Xuzhou is not allowed, will the Ming Gong'an return? Although Tao Qian died, Liu Bei has guarded him. Since the people of Xuzhou have been subdued, they will definitely help Bei fight to the death. Lu Bu of Xiaopei also prepared troops and prepared for the horses. Ming Gong abandoned Yanzhou and took Xuzhou, so he abandoned the big and turned to the small, and left the foundation and sought the end, so that he could be safe and easy to be dangerous. I wish to think about it carefully."

Cao Cao said: "This year, there is no food, and it is not a good idea to sit here."

Xun Yu said: "It is better to go to Chendi in the east and send troops to eat Runan and Yingchuan. The Yellow Turban Remnants He Yi and Huang Shao plundered the prefectures and counties, and there were many gold, silk and grain. These thieves were easily broken. If they were broken, they would take their grain to support the three armies. The court was happy and the people were happy, which was a matter of obeying the heavens."

After listening to Xun Yu's suggestion, Cao Cao was overjoyed and left Xiahou and Cao Ren to guard Juancheng and other places, leading his troops to cover Chen's land first. Not only did he annihilate the Yellow Turban Army led by He Yi and Huang Shao from Runan, Yingchuan, and seized countless gold and silk, and had countless food. He also recruited Xu Chu as the commander of the army and hundreds of people from the Xu clan. Runan and Yingchuan were all pacified.

Cao Cao pacified Shandong and submitted a memorial to the court, who appointed Cao Cao as the Marquis of Fei Ting, General of Jiande.

At that time, Li Fei served as the Grand Marshal in the court, and Guo Si served as the Grand General. The two were rampant and no one dared to speak out in the court. After seeing Cao Cao's memorial, Yang Biao secretly reported to the emperor: "Now Cao Cao has more than 200,000 troops in Yanzhou, and dozens of counselors and generals. If this person is to support the country and eliminate the treacherous party, the world will be very lucky."
