Chapter 22: The Commander-in-Chief of the Fields

 "My lord, Yuan Shu has already taken control of Yangzhou. After winter comes, the opponent will definitely go north to invade our land of Yanzhou!"

Xi Zhicai responded casually.

Although Cao Cao was just speaking out of his feelings, as soon as he spoke, he was surrounded by counselors besides Cao Hong.

The current luncheon has naturally become a discussion topic.

Xi Yu ignored it and just like Cao Hong, he ate the food on his desk.

He rarely eats meals like today's, let alone a cow.

Xi Zhi had just finished speaking, and Cao Cao actually smiled.

"If Yuan Shu comes, he will come. How can I be afraid of him?"

Now that Yanzhou has an army of 400,000, he, Cao Cao, was not the same as when Yuan Shu wanted to touch him when he first entered Yanzhou, so he would not care.

Xi Zhicai didn't take Yuan Shu seriously either, he just wanted to fight in the end!

This battle has not yet happened, and everything is still unknown.

Of course, everyone is full of confidence.

"By the way, a few days ago, I learned that that old guy Tao Qian actually united a large group of people, saying that he wanted to recommend Zhu Jun as the grand master, thinking of attacking Li Jue and Guo Si, and serving the emperor.

He is quite good at calculating."

After saying that, Cao Cao sneered again: "It's a pity that for some reason, General Zhu Jun has been recruited into the court by Li Jue and Guo Si!"

When he received the news, Cao Cao was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, when I was rectifying Yanzhou, all the princes outside could not sit still and were very confused.

If Tao Qian wants to please the emperor, should he go to Xuzhou to welcome him?

There is a gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. His so-called flattery to the emperor is just an excuse!

Tao Qian's plan to send troops to attack Li Jue and Guo Si was really unrealistic.

It would be true to say that he united with others to deal with him, Cao Cao.

"Although General Zhu Jun is said to have a strong character, he has somewhat seen through the intentions of Tao Qian and others. It is reasonable for him to be recruited to the capital this time!"

Xun Yu responded.

Cao Cao nodded and couldn't help but look at Xi Yu again.

At the moment, Xiyu is only focused on eating and has no intention of interrupting.

"What do you think of Fengyi?"

"Huh?"

The three of them talked well. Xi Yu suddenly heard Cao Cao asking him, and subconsciously looked up at each other.

On the opposite side, Cao Hong also raised his head and pricked his ears, as if he wanted to hear something.

"My lord must have received the news that Tao Qian and Yuan Shu are uniting with each other!

I predict that at the beginning of winter, these two people will invade our Yanzhou territory!"

"However, this is not a big problem!"

Xi Yu said casually, as he said before, Cao Cao will win this battle!

Yanzhou has gained more than 300,000 new troops. Although Yuan Shu's army is at its peak, Cao Cao's army is not weak either.

These yellow scarves have just come into effect, and Lao Cao has finally managed to keep them fed. It’s time to work hard to make a contribution!

"Yes, as Fengyi said, that old thief Tao Qian does have something in common with Yuan Shu!"

"I also expected that a battle at the beginning of spring would be inevitable!"

When he heard that there was going to be a war, Cao Hong's face suddenly became happy.

When cleaning up the Yanzhou Yellow Turban, to be honest, there were too many generals under Lao Cao, and he didn't have much sense of participation.

It’s nothing to deal with some defeated Yellow Turbans.

However, being able to deal with Fang Hou now is an important matter for him.

At this time, he was the only general next to Cao Cao. It could be said that he was the first to get the moon. He would be ready to talk to his elder brother later.

Cao Hong raised his ears.

Cao Cao, the chief, looked at Xi Yu again.

"By the way, I have already had people distribute the farmland strategy that Di Ji had planned a while ago, and now various places in Yanzhou are waiting for it to be implemented in the spring!"

"However, our army will definitely have a battle with Yuan Shu in the spring, and Zhicai will accompany me in the army. I will not be responsible for the farming issue."

He looked at Xi Yu with burning eyes, and the latter also understood at this time.

The meaning of Cao Cao's words is already very clear.

This is because I want to leave things like farming to myself!

Xi Yu thought for a while, but did not refuse. At present, Cao Cao has just started, and it is not yet time to feel comfortable.

He does have to put in some effort.

The farming matter will not be a big deal for him next.

"Lord, in this case, Yu is willing to take over this matter!"

"Oh! Fengyi is willing to take over this matter?" Cao Cao said with joy on his face.

In his heart, he actually wanted to take Xi Yu with him during the war. After all, he had seen how strong Xi Yu was.

With such a fierce general at your side, it would be easy to win against Yuan Shu!

Even if Yuan Shu brings Lu Bu over, he doesn't care at all.

However, Xi Yu has no intention of joining the military, so even if he takes it with him, the other party would not be willing to go into battle with the army.

The policy of farming was more or less proposed by Xi Zhicai and Xi Yu together.

Now that Xi Zhicai must join the army with him, he can only rely on Xi Yu for this matter.

Of course, if Xi Yu refuses, he will have an excuse to directly lead the other party into the war.

Unexpectedly, Xiyu took the initiative.

Cao Cao had nothing to say.

"Okay, that being the case, I will be temporarily appointed as the Tuntian Captain and be responsible for the entire Yanzhou Tuntian affairs!"

After the matter was settled, everyone began to chat.

After two or three sentences, Boss Cao started to invite Xi Zhicai and the two of them to have a drink with each other, and Cao Hong also got in.

Xi Yu didn't pay any attention to it and just kept eating.

Nothing happened in the following days.

Xi Yu taught the craftsmen in Cao's camp how to build Quyuan plows, and Cao Jun began to build Quyuan plows on a large scale.

December passed quietly.

Spring begins in the first month, when the ice and snow begin to melt.

Yuan Shu of Nanyang could no longer sit still, and his army began to march directly towards Yanzhou Chenliu. At the same time, Xuzhou Tao Qian also attacked Yanzhou from the east.

Cao Cao ordered the Xiahou brothers to resist Tao Qian on the east side, and he prepared to lead the army south to fight against Yuan Shu.

At the same time, Xi Yuzheng came out of Chenliu and headed straight for Dongjun with a burly man.

Xiyu didn't take anyone else with him to Dongjun this time.

A few days ago, he rode alone to Chenliu and took Dian Wei directly from the hands of Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao.

Although Zhang Miao was a little surprised that Xi Yu asked for Dian Wei, he did not refuse.

At this moment, on the way to Dongjun, two horses were walking side by side, and Dian Wei was raising his head and constantly looking at Xi Yu beside him.

"Sir, what are we going to do?"

Regarding Zhang Miao suddenly assigning himself to Xi Yu, Dian Wei was confused.

The Xiyu in front of him looked extremely weak. He probably understood that this person wanted to recruit him to be his guard.

Dian Wei was still a little unhappy about this.

Although he joined the army just to have enough food, just like anyone else, he still wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
