Half a month later, the civil and military officials of Xiliang who fought in Xuzhou gathered again in Xiapi City.

Since the breaking of Xia Pi City, Li Li commanded the troops to attack. With the full cooperation of Chen Gong, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others, the army was in a state of unstoppable force, attacking the cities and camps one after another, and surrendering troops under Lu Bu's tent.

At the same time, the old Xuzhou gentry Chen Gui, Cao Bao and Mi Fang and other aristocratic families joined forces with major aristocratic families and gentry tyrants to unanimously support Li Li to lead Xuzhou.

With the suppression and pacification of this, the county magistrates successively submitted letters to surrender and surrender. In a few days, the counties and counties under Xuzhou ruled were promulgated.

At this point, Xuzhou, which had changed hands three times before, changed hands again, and all the six counties in Xuzhou were included in Li Li's rule. Then the county and county chiefs were ordered to come to Xia Pizhou's Palace to discuss the post-war pacification matters.

However, although the war in Xuzhou has subsided, the Xiliang army is still continually deploying troops and generals, and the Xiliang army has entered the counties and counties of Xuzhou one after another.

After the county magistrates and county magistrates (county magistrates) arrived at the provincial and ministers' office one after another, Li Li did not adjust the officials of each county, but held a banquet and invited the subordinates of Xuzhou for three consecutive days, but did not mention the post-war pacification and restoration of people's livelihood.

In addition, after the former Lu Bu tent, the troops were ordered to gather in the military camp outside the north gate of Xiapi City, and rested and reorganized into an army.

As of early July, the entire Xuzhou war broke out from its outbreak to its end, and it was declared to be over in less than twenty days.

At present, Xuzhou government affairs are fully responsible by the Left Military Advisor Jia Xu, and Chen Gui, Chen Deng and others assist; the military reorganization is led by the Right Military Advisor, and Chen Gong and the generals of Xiliang are assisted, and all matters are in an orderly manner.

When Xuzhou gradually restored order after the war, a former Xuzhou member believed that Li Li was about to attack the Xuzhou family, Li Li left the provincial governor's office and led his personal guards to the East China Sea. He personally selected a site for the navy and rebuilt the navy base.

Xia Pi City, the back hall of the East Garden of the Palace Museum.

A pot of tea was placed on the table table, and the two tea cups were steaming, emitting a refreshing fragrance. On both sides of the table table table, Jia Xu and Guo Jia sat opposite each other, tasting tea and talking.

"For several days, I have been working hard to serve the filial piety, and I am offering tea instead of wine to serve a cup of filial piety." After the greetings, Jia Xu picked up the teacup and signaled Guo Jia to drink with him.

Take a sip of tea. Guo Jia smiled and said, "Brother Wen and I are all polite. How dare you say it is hard? In other words, what is the matter of the lord's handover? How dare you and I not do your best?" While speaking, Guo Jia noticed that there was an arrow without an arrow next to Jia Xu. His eyes couldn't help but stay on the straight arrow shaft for a moment, and a sudden and relieved look flashed in his eyes.

Jia Xu nodded gently and said, "The Gongtai just came to me. When Fengxiao mentioned that Fengxiao reorganized the Xuzhou army, he eliminated a large number of soldiers, but sent generals such as Wei Xu, Cao Bao and Mi Fang to Danyang to recruit infantry. He seemed to be quite dissatisfied in his words, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly. For this reason, Gongtai told Brother Yu very tactfully. He hoped to come forward to talk to his brother. Due to his affection, Brother Yu asked Fengxiao to come and talk."

This is how Jia Xu is so clever in dealing with things. In front of Guo Jia, he did not hide it, but made it clear in person and directly told the whole story. In this way, he didn't need to say much, but Guo Jia could understand the whole story and naturally know how to deal with it.

After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled calmly and bowed to Jia Xu to express his gratitude. Then he said bluntly: "In front of Brother Wenhe, I will not hide it. It is difficult to reorganize the Xuzhou army this time. About 40% of the Xuzhou army will be removed, which means that the 100,000 Xuzhou army will be retained in the end. Only less than 60,000 infantry and cavalry can be retained by the 100,000 Xuzhou army. Brother Gongtai has lived in Xuzhou for a long time, and many generals in the army are his generals, or generals who have been promoted by him. In addition, there are many old acquaintances, who can be regarded as his disciples and old officials.

Not only that, Brother Gongtai has had close contacts with major families in Xuzhou and the powerful gentry, and there are many families with deep friendship. This has led to many generals in the army having complicated and complicated relationships with him. This is exactly a taboo thing, which makes the lord dislike him very much. Therefore, hehe! This evil man was done by Guo Jia, who cut the mess quickly and never tolerated him. Otherwise, he would have violated the lord's original intention and failed his trust. In this section, Wen and brother need to help him and take care of him."

"I am very serious about filial piety." Jia Xu nodded happily, poured a cup of tea for Guo Jia himself, calmed his smile, and said seriously: "Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains, a place that military strategists must fight for, so we should not be careless at all. The lord handed over the military and political affairs of Xuzhou to you and me this time, with a clear intention, that is, we must rectify the administration and reorganize the army, and ensure that Xuzhou will not lose again."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Before this, Xuzhou had changed its ownership three times, and this was the fourth time. It was a rare among the states of the Han Dynasty. This was the only case. It is not difficult to see from the repeated changes in Xuzhou that it is easy to capture Xuzhou, and it can be obtained in ten days. However, it is difficult to consolidate Xuzhou and make it a major defense center. The reason is that the counties of Xuzhou have extremely strong aristocratic families and gentry tyrants, which is an extremely stable interest alliance. The relationship between major aristocratic families is complex, like an old tree, and there are many relatively solid alliances in each other. They prosper and lose, and advance and retreat together.

Therefore, the lord handed over the military and political affairs of Xuzhou to you and me this time, so that you and me can join forces to break this situation, completely destroy the interests ally hidden in the dark, and fundamentally solve the problem of easy attack and difficult defense in Xuzhou, so as to achieve the strategic goal of long-term stability and make it truly a frontier and important center for our army to establish itself in Huainan."

"What Brother Wenhe said coincides with me." Before Jia Xu's words could be finished, Guo Jia happily agreed and continued: "The top priority in front of us is how to break the deadlock. To put it bluntly, it is how to break this big net hidden in the darkness and how to break the interest alliance that has formed between them. In this regard, the lord once said this: 'If there is a gun, it is the king of grass heads', and I regard it as the most reasonable.

Therefore, I decided to start from the army and replace all the generals in the army who had direct or indirect kinship with the major families and gentry of Xuzhou, transfer them to other states or battalions to resettle them, and dispatch our generals to come to Xuzhou to lead troops. It was precisely with this idea that so far, I have replaced all the guards, lieutenants and military marquis of Xuzhou counties and cities, and ordered our army to take over all counties and counties and replace all the city defense troops.

Because of this, Brother Gongtai has a prejudice against me, but it is not convenient to speak out in a blunt way, so he advised me to stop by Wen and Brother. However, this matter has begun, and now he will stop. Not only will he be abandoned, he will also make major families and gentry hostile to us, thus laying the root of disaster and endless troubles. Therefore, this matter must not be terminated. Instead, he should strike while the iron is hot, completely rectify the Xuzhou garrison, and then rectify the administration of the officials and consolidate the lord's rule over Xuzhou. I wonder if Brother Wen and Brother agree?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "The words of Fengxiao are so sharp that they hit the nail on the head, which made Brother Yu admire him. Brother Yu had no objection to this and was willing to cooperate with Fengxiao. However, if you need Brother Yu, Fengxiao will be able to inform him with one word. Brother Yu will definitely help you."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yu had always believed that after the Xuzhou war was quelled, the lord was very likely to let Chen Gong take Xuzhou. After all, Chen Gongtai made great contributions in this battle in Xuzhou and lived in Xuzhou for a long time. Letting him succeed as the governor of Xuzhou will help stabilize the situation, quickly restore post-war order, and restore farming as soon as possible. But at this moment, Brother Yu knew that the lord had already understood the situation in Xuzhou, and there must be someone else who would become the governor of Xuzhou in the future."

After hearing this, Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu, and then the two of them smiled knowingly, and had a consensus without any communication.

After drinking another cup of tea, Jia Xu picked up the arrow rod placed beside him and placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "These days, everyone has been discussing this matter privately. There are all kinds of rumors, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a discussion. Brother Yu is also very curious about this. Can you tell the reason and solve the doubts for Brother Yu?"

Looking at the arrow shaft that Jia Xu placed on the desk, Guo Jia couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter expression and said with a bitter smile: "I just noticed that the arrow next to Wen He's brother looks familiar and feels familiar. At this moment, I realized that this arrow is the exclusive arrow used by my personal soldiers in the tent." This sentence alone gave the answer Jia Xu wanted to know, and the slightly bitter smile on Guo Jia's face also explained the reason why he had never made this public. He had difficulties, or that he did this not because of his original intention, but because he had to do it.

Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully and said in confusion: "Brother Yu heard the lord's order to kill Lu Bu in his own ear that day. Since then, I have been by my lord's side and have never seen my lord give the order to release Lu Bu. I don't know where the lord's military order on the execution ground comes from?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and replied to the question that he was irrelevant: "Brother Wenhe, why did the lord give me full responsibility for the war in Baimen Tower?"

"Huh?" Jia Xu was stunned when he heard the sound and asked, "Is there something else in it?"

"That's right." Guo Jia nodded in response and explained: "When Lu Bu was defeated in Yanzhou and led the remaining troops to flee in a hurry, he intended to join the lord's command, but because he was worried that the lord would harm him, he turned to Liu Bei's tent. Then the lord asked about this matter, and my younger brother once boasted that one day he would definitely capture Lu Bu alive, and he would convince him to follow the lord, and there would be no surrender and rebellion again. The lord believed it at the time and since then he handed over all matters related to Xuzhou to me, including many secret matters such as Han Xian, Yang Feng and Chen Gong lurking under Lu Bu's tent for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that when Xia Pi City was captured by our army, the lord gave me full responsibility for the attack on Baimen Tower in public, and even patted me on my shoulder twice before leaving."

"This move has a profound meaning!" Jia Xu interrupted in surprise.
