The grass has just sprouted new buds, and the wild geese quietly return north...

There was an endless stream of messengers heading to all directions from Wancheng, Nie Zefeng became the new owner of Wancheng, and letters seeking the Marquis of Wancheng were also running back and forth on the roads from Wancheng to various places.

Nie Zefeng was sitting in the hall of Wancheng. He held his daily morning meeting as usual today. A civil servant was the first to report back: "Lord, the messenger set off yesterday. I can't think of the news that you have become the new master of Wancheng in a month."

It can spread throughout China."

Lu Bu hurriedly asked: "Third brother, how do you think the princes will react?"

Nie Zefeng recalled everything he had watched in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, and thought of Xun Yu's analysis to Cao Cao: "The princes in the world are busy with their own affairs and can't even care about us."

Nie Zefeng smiled majestically and said: "I think all the princes in the world are busy with their own affairs and have no time to manage our affairs. But I wonder if Cao Cao will just sit back and watch?"

Gao Shun actually stood up and said sternly: "Third brother, don't worry, the swords of the thousands of trapped men under my command have been unable to hold back for a long time, and they are eager to see blood with one sword."

Ma Chao rose from his seat and replied with his own unique nobility: "My army may not have a war for a long time. If Cao's troops attack, I would like to be the vanguard."

Next came Zhou Cang, a former Yellow Turban general. There were more than twenty people in the hall asking for battle.

After Nie Zefeng looked around for a week, he realized that he only had military generals and few civil servants. It seemed that he must develop civil servants in the future.

Nie Zefeng waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and talk.

Nie Zefeng then stood up, walked off the stage, then slowly looked around, then suddenly turned around and asked sharply: "The grain inspector is here."

"The end will be here."

"How is the food and fodder situation of our army?"

"Lord, our army only has enough food and grass for more than three months."

"Return to your position."

The grain inspector responded and stood in his own queue.

Nie Zefeng had already walked to the commander's platform, took down the commander's order, and announced: "I am announcing the first order. From today on, the entire army, except the cavalry, will start to work in the fields. They will train in leisure time, work in the fields during farming, and go out in war."

The new military regulations.”

At this time, all the generals in the battle, sitting and standing, stood up and responded: "Yes."

Nie Zefeng then took out the second command order and said: "To clarify the military order, the troops will be reorganized. Lu Bu will be the general of the front army, leading 3,000 Xiliang cavalry; Gao Shun will be the general of the rear army, leading 1,000 troops and 3,000 infantry; Ma Chao will

As the general of the left army, I will lead one thousand Xiliang cavalry and two thousand infantry; as the general of the right army, Zhou Cang will lead two thousand cavalry and infantry. I will take command of the central army, with Chen Dao as the center leader and command one thousand cavalry and infantry. The other generals will each

Under the leadership of the general of our headquarters."

What followed was a chorus of "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

After announcing the high mountains, the generals began to organize their troops and horses and reported to each camp. They were very busy.

In Xuchang City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao was bending over to write his "Meng De's Art of War", and kept chanting it in his mouth from time to time.

At this time, Cheng Yu, the counselor who read the situation in various places for Cao Cao every day, came in and greeted: "Meet my lord."

When Cao Cao saw Cheng Yu, he immediately smiled and helped him: "Not seeing you for a day is like three autumns! You played a huge role in strangulating Lu Bu this time!"

"Cheng Yu was so frightened that he strangled Lu Bu because of his lord's wisdom and the generals' hard work. Cheng Yu, how can I have the merit of size?"

The reason why Cao Cao never attempted to murder Cheng Yu was that Cheng Yu never took credit and was arrogant, and he didn't like to be in the limelight.

After Cao Cao and Cheng Yu sat down respectively, Cheng Yu began to pick up the morning newspapers sent from various places and read them to Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu thought that today would be the same as before, but when Cheng Yu read the last article about Nie Zefeng leading Lu Bu and Gao Shun to occupy Wancheng, Cao Cao couldn't do it and asked Cheng Yu to read it again. Cheng Yu was reading it again, but it was still the same.

.

"Here comes someone. Beat the drum and gather the generals immediately."

"yes."

After a while, Cao Cao was sitting on the commander's hall, with civil servants on the left and military officers on the right standing aside. The civil officers were led by Xun Yu, and the military officers were led by Cao Ren.

Cao Cao was the first to speak: "Everyone must know that a Wancheng candidate suddenly appeared in Wancheng. The most annoying thing is that Lu Bu and Gao Shun, who were clearly strangled by us, appeared again to complete the task."

Xun Yu was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, don't panic. Your achievements in killing Lu Bu have been recorded by the court historians. Even if the real Lu Bu is here now, this is an unchangeable fact. Just think of what a clown can do."

It's a big deal, and sending a general is enough to wipe out this group of thieves."

"The last general is willing to take off the thief's head."

Cao Cao has always been hypocritical and is never willing to admit his mistakes. In fact, he already felt that there was something wrong with Gao Shun when he handed over Lu Bu that day, but in order to cover his ears, he could only pretend not to know and deceive himself. He knew that Xun Yu knew his heart best, and sure enough today

One sentence hit Cao Cao's vital point. Cao Cao was enjoying himself at this moment, when suddenly a general stood up with a voice like thunder.

Cao Cao looked down and saw that it was General Xu Chu. At this time, Cao Cao had already hatched a vicious plan. The good opportunity to kill Zhang Xiu had arrived. When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but get excited.

"Although the general is brave, he is not familiar with the environment of Wancheng. It is better to send a general who is familiar with the geography."

Xun Yu came out again and said: "The last general recommends one person who will definitely be able to pacify Wancheng."

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu with a smile, "Who is it?"

Xun Yu replied seriously: "Wancheng Zhangxiu."

"Zhang Xiu, are you willing to go?"

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard calling him, he knew that something was up to him. The old thief Cao Cao really didn't have good intentions. Jia Xu, Jia Xu, you have really caused me harm. Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to settle the score with Jia Xu now.

But now I can only bite the bullet and respond: "Prime Minister, at the end of the day, the generals are outnumbered, so they may not be our opponents."

Cao Cao's face darkened and he said: "I will now make you the General of the Conquest of the West and the vanguard of the first line. I will send Xu Chu to lead an army of 50,000 tigers to assist you in the second line. What do you think?"

Zhang Xiu knew that he was doomed this time, so he had no choice but to respond: "I will obey your orders."

Cao Cao stood up, clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, we will set out tomorrow to destroy the rebels."
