According to Cao Cao's last wish, Ye Zhao sent Cao Cao, the bodies of the Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers to Qiao County for burial. Cao Cao's sons, the youngest, were sent to Chang'an by Ye Zhao. No matter what, the influence of the Cao family was still there. Although Ye Zhao did not kill them cleanly, he did not give them a chance to make a comeback. He put these people under house arrest in Chang'an and told them not to have any thoughts they shouldn't have.

If these people have any ideas that they shouldn't have, and their friendship has been taken into consideration, then don't blame Ye Zhao for not being missed by the old love.

With the fall of Cao Cao, it also represents the end of an era. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and some cities that were still resisting surrendered one after another in April of Taiping (208 AD), after Ye Zhao settled down Mount Tai, he led his troops eastward, and pointed directly at Xia Pi and joined Guo Jia in Xia Pi. However, Sun Ce's army had retreated to Guangling, using the Huai River as the boundary to block Ye Zhao's army in Huaibei. As for Xia Pi, Pengcheng, Donghai, Langya and other places, there were no people thousands of miles of people. Although some of the population was robbed by Ye Zhao, most of the population had been sent to Jiangdong by Sun Ce.

In the Xia Pi area, there were even many corpses, including the people and the Jiangdong Army. Sun Ce was obviously in a hurry to leave, so he gave Ye Zhao time to rob more people. The two sides did not start a big war in Huaibei, but such a small-scale war broke out from time to time.

The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were just bare. Seeing that they could not beat them, they left the people and ran away. In the intelligence system where Ye Zhao'an was planted in Guangling, Sun Ce also transported the population to Jiangdong on a large scale in Huaibei, relying on the Huai River to block Ye Zhao.

The Guanzhong army was strong and strong, but it was weak in the navy, not without ships. In fact, with Ye Zhao's suggestions and the efforts of the craftsmen who were specifically responsible for boat casting in the Shengong Camp, the keel boat has been made, but water wars are different from land wars. The equipment is secondary, mainly relying on the navy generals and navy forces. In this regard, Ye Zhao could be said to have completely fallen at a disadvantage.

There is only one naval general in his hand, Gan Ning. Now, in the Yiling area, he often leads a small group of naval troops to harass the navy along the coast of Jingzhou. Most of Ye Zhao's naval troops are under Gan Ning's command. The far water cannot save the nearby fire. Although Ye Zhao and the Jiangdong Army are only separated by a single water, they can only sigh at the river. It is precisely because of this that Sun Ce dared to forcibly move people so unscrupulously under Ye Zhao's nose.

Although he did not understand water wars, Ye Zhao observed the formation of the Jiangdong Army, which was quite legal. Before the navy general, Ye Zhao would not easily take risks.

"Lord, have you transferred the flying boat here?" Li Ru stood beside Ye Zhao and asked at Jiangdong Water Village on the other side.

Although there is no naval army, it does not mean that there is no way to deal with the Jiangdong army. The air force under Ye Zhao is definitely unsolvable in this era.

Ye Zhao and Guo Jia shook their heads at the same time and said, "It's not the time!"

After saying that, the two of them were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

It is indeed not the time. Even if Sun Ce is killed, Jiangdong will not be in chaos. Instead, it will make Jiangdong soldiers wary. Although the Air Force is no longer a secret, due to the source of information, the Jiangdong army may not know how the Air Force fights and what are the pros and cons. Ye Zhao did not use the Air Force in the process of sweeping the Central Plains, but it was kept for Jiangdong. How could he use it now?

"Send it to you, just send it to you. Jiangdong also needs to develop it well. Let Sun Lang help me develop Jiangdong. When our army fights south in the future, I hope that the Sun family can expand Jiangdong a little." Ye Zhao smiled at the water village on the other side.

This time, Sun Ce migrated nearly one million people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou. The total population of Jiangdong is not that large. Therefore, to digest and resettle these populations, Jiangdong must be developed. Where can there be a large number of places to be developed? Ye Zhao originally planned to unify the world and wait until the population is abundant before developing Jiangdong and migrating the population.

Although Sun Ce's violent migration of people like this does not meet Ye Zhao's expectations, the incident has already happened, so Ye Zhao will not stop it. This time, it will take two or three years to promote the policy in the Central Plains. During this period, let Sun Ce develop it himself. When Ye Zhao manages the Central Plains, then Jingzhou and Jiangdong will be in full swing, and Ye Zhao is not going to wait any longer.

Ye Zhao was originally planning to station in Xia Pi for one month before returning to the court, but the news from Nanyang made Ye Zhao decide to return to Luoyang first.

Time goes forward to the days when Ye Zhao fought against Cao Cao. As Ye Zhao's army set out, the elite main forces were taken to the Central Plains by Ye Zhao. In addition to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's 15,000 main elite troops, there were only 100,000 troops who surrendered after Lu Bu surrendered. These troops were not dismissed, but were sent to various counties to strengthen the defense of the county magistrate.

When Cai Mao's letter of showing weakness was sent to Guan Yu, Fa Zheng also rushed to Xinye in a hurry.

"This is the plan of the Jingxiang gentry!" Fa Zheng handed the letter back to Guan Yu and said with a smile.

"Plan?" Guan Yu looked at Fa Zheng in confusion, then looked at Cai Mao's letters. The whole article was full of flattery and praise for Guan Yu and even a little flattery.

Although I don’t know how Cai Mao could write such disgusting words, in Guan Yu’s opinion, this is normal. Cai Mao was beaten by Lu Bu before and only dared to tremble across the Han River. Guan Yu’s reputation is not inferior to Lu Bu, and his record is even more brilliant. He destroyed the Xiongnu and slaughtered the Xianbei. He admired him, admired him, and feared him and then turned into flattery. This is normal. In Guan Yu’s opinion, although his words made him disgusted, it only means that Cai Mao was a pustule. He really couldn’t see any conspiracy in this letter of “true and sincere”, let alone what clever tricks can a person like Cai Mao come up with?

"In the past, Goujian was the same as his attitude when King Fuchai of Wu, but in the end, Wu was destroyed by Goujian." Fa Zheng smiled and said, in his opinion, Guan Yu's mentality became a little distant after experiencing so many great victories. Little did he know that Guan Yu could do everything in the northern battlefield because of his personal ability. Behind him are the overall planning of Ye Zhao, Guo Jia, and Li Ru. To put it bluntly, Guan Yu is just an extremely sharp gun. Although it is powerful, it depends on who it is.

"Then..." Guan Yu frowned, a little displeased with Fa Zheng's comparison with a king who lost his country. But the biggest difference between Guan Yu and in history is his identity. Ye Zhao is good to Guan Yu, but he is only one of Ye Zhao's favorite generals, and he has not yet risen to the level of stubbornness. At least facing Fa Zheng, Ye Zhao's special envoy, Guan Yu was displeased, and had to listen to Fa Zheng's opinions and looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Sir, what should I do?"

"As usual, the general will do whatever he wants, but half of the troops need to be transferred to the subordinates for their own management. If you use them, the general does not have to worry about how they are used. In order to avoid being seen, he will then transfer 10,000 from the surrendered army of Wenhou to increase troops to reinforce Xinye. In the subordinates, he will lead 5,000 troops out of the city and support him on his back." Fa Zheng smiled.

Guan Yu: "..."

What's going on? You're just talking nonsense?

However, drawing 5,000 elite troops and using Lu Bu's miscellaneous soldiers to exchange it, which made Guan Yu a little reluctant. After all, the trained Guanzhong soldiers were easy to command, but if they were replaced by Lu Bu's miscellaneous soldiers, even if they were two to one, Guan Yu would not have much love.
