Cao Pi is impatient and superficially seeks peace

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Huang Xu blinked, feeling a little confused.

He originally thought that he had made a great contribution this time and would be rewarded when he returned home. How come... This is not right!

"No, adoptive father——"

"Why don't you kneel down yet?"

Under Xi Yu's roar, Huang Xu did not dare to refute at all, and immediately his knees fell heavily to the ground.

"Let me ask you, how many brothers' lives have you lost since the beginning of the war? As the general of my great Han Dynasty, I admire you for your courage and strategy, and I will also reward you."

"But at the same time, you insisted on going your own way on the battlefield and went deep alone, putting the entire White Cavalry in danger. This is a taboo in the army! If I hadn't come quickly, did you know that these more than a thousand White Cavalry would be gone soon?

Will he be surrounded by Cao Jun’s hundreds of thousands of troops?”

"However, when it comes to a small city, even if Huang Xu has the ability to bring them all back, it will be difficult for you to bring them back. Have you ever thought about this?"

Xi Yu pointed at his nose and scolded him, his handsome face even more fortified after experiencing the baptism of war.

Looking at Huang Xu who lowered his head and said nothing, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He kicked him and shouted: "If you dare to fight for me like this next time, just get out of bed early!"

Huang Xu, who was silent at first, froze up when he heard this, then raised his head and whispered: "Father, I only do this if I have the confidence in my heart——"

"You bastard, what do you think you have? But I really spoiled you rotten!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiyu's eyes widened and he immediately slapped him on the face again.

The sound of "pop!" scared the hearts of the white knights standing on both sides.

"Reporting to the lord——"

"quiet!"

Huang Xu roared and stopped Bai Qi who was trying to explain. He licked the scarlet at the corner of his mouth, looked up at Xi Yu and said seriously: "Father, this is my way of marching!"

"Haier understands that my adoptive father feels sorry for me, but I always keep in mind the purpose of the army. I am sure to attack the enemy for 800 miles and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. In this way, I can force Cao Jun to buy time for my adoptive father on the front line. I can do it

Xu'er will have no regrets even if he dies!"

"Bang!"

Xi Yu kicked out again, this time with such force that he almost knocked Huang Xu over.

"Let me ask you one last time, if you still have the power to command freely on the battlefield in the future, will you still do such a taboo as a military strategist who goes deep alone?"

Huang Xu understands that his adoptive father is doing it for his own good, but he also has his own persistence.

Therefore, he finally took a deep breath and said firmly: "As long as I can make great contributions to the army and defeat the rebel army, I, Huang Xu, will not die and I will persevere!"

"good!"

After a long time, Xi Yu's expression softened and he said calmly: "From today on, you are Bai Qi No. 0, and you will be the commander-in-chief of Bai Qi!"

"Next, I will arrange for the expansion of the White Cavalry recruitment. The White Cavalry army under your command will also increase from the original three thousand to six thousand. You can choose anyone you like among the army!"

"ah?"

Huang Xu, who thought he would be beaten and scolded again, was startled by this sudden surprise.

Although Xi Yu's face was still a bit ugly, he was as happy as a child who got his favorite toy. He couldn't help but smile, pulling his big white teeth and smiling at the other party to please him: "Father, this is a very wise move for you.

!”

"Hey, thank you, foster father. I thought that my commander-in-chief was going to be dismissed. Who would have thought that you would expand the recruitment? Hahaha, foster father, you are so kind."

Xi Yu looked at him coldly, and said with a smile: "What? Are you afraid that you are too happy? I am recruiting a white knight called Mingzhi. I think it would be foolish to remove you from your post? Why don't I take back your life immediately? Look.

Let’s see who dares—”

"Ah, no, no, no! My child is wrong, my child is wrong!"

Before Xi Yu could finish speaking, Huang Xu took two steps forward, hugged the other party's legs, and said with a smile: "We are all children who can't speak. My foster father is wise and talented, and what you said is right. I

You must think hard when you go back! Understand it well!"

"Get out of here, what do you look like when you are calling everyone like this? Do you still want to compete with the champion? I have repeatedly made military exploits, been sealed as a wolf, and won the highest honor of a general, but what about you? You can't bear it until you die.

Are you so happy that the merits and demerits are equal to each other?"

"Hey! Hey hey hey!"

Huang Xu, who had a swollen face, didn't say anything at the moment and only smiled stupidly.

Just in front of Xi Yu, he showed such a silly look. In the army, who knows the name of the cold-faced sharpshooter Huang Xu, the commander of Baiqi?

After taking Wuhuan City, other Cao Pi's armies in Hejian County gradually joined together, but the place where they met was getting further and further away from Wuhuan City.

Now that the war situation has been decided, even if they want to stop it, they are unable to do so.

Furthermore, everyone has seen the majesty and power of Xi Yu's army, and it is difficult to think of competing with them again.

Of course, the most critical point is that this battle lasted for more than a month, and the number of nearby people dropped sharply. The young and strong were all maimed on the battlefield, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were all injured.

What else can we do if we don’t retreat if we don’t have much fighting power?

Similarly, after Xi Yu arrived at Wuhuan City, he no longer thought about continuing the attack.

Anyway, most of the territory of Hejian County has fallen into my hands, and it is time to develop internally.

Then, he sent part of the army to guard the cities in the Hejian County territory that he had captured. At the same time, he also ordered people to seize the time to mobilize a large number of reserve talents from the schools in Qingxu and Xu to provide services to the original local officials and clan officials.

It was a major blood change.

In this regard, the clan officials did not dare to have the slightest resentment, nonsense, everyone was ignored. As for the previous intimidation from the clan, it is a joke now. Under such circumstances, who dares to be dissatisfied?

They were all like this, and the previous local officials below naturally had no choice but to give in.

Soon, a short-lived wartime peace order was naturally established, and the people and refugees returned to their normal lives in the shortest possible time.

In fact, a large part of the reason why Xiyu stopped attacking was because of these common people.

He knew only too well how much harm the war had done to the common people, so he wanted to stop and plan the lives of the common people first, so that they would no longer live a life of displacement and no fixed abode.

Of course, since everyone has this idea, it is naturally necessary to open warehouses to release grain and implement benevolent policies.

Not long after, the people in Hejian County gradually relaxed their mentality under the influence of slow disaster relief. The people who originally lived in these places returned to their hometown and began to live a peaceful and warm life.

Even the people who were taken away by Xi Yu's orders returned to their homes.

Although everything is developing in a good direction, Xi Yu has always stayed in Hejian County and has not returned to Xuzhou.

He was waiting to see what the Cao family planned next.

······

Yecheng!

The restless Cao Pi finally waited for the news from the front line. However, it was only three or two days before the news reached him. Xia Houchun, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and others led the defeated army back from Hejian County in embarrassment.

.

Of course, these lucky people came back, but there are many unfortunate people who will never come back, such as Xia Houjie, and Cao family members Cao Yong, Cao Xu, Cao Yu and others, all died on the battlefield

above.

Cao Pi was extremely angry about this, but he was also lucky.

Although the army was defeated and a lot of people died, at least the core people came back, especially Cao Zhen. As the most promising general of the younger generation, Cao Pi still valued him very much.

Therefore, on the day they returned, Cao Pi rushed to a place ten miles outside Yecheng early to greet them.

In fact, he already knew that this battle would not be easy.

When I received the battle report before, I felt quite depressed.

The war has reached this point, and there is no benefit to him in continuing to fight.

Rather than defeat, he now wants to know how to make Xi Yu stop his attack.

Although half of Hejian County was gone, he was heartbroken, but he was not too worried.

After all, I still have plenty of food and grass, and the territory in Yecheng is also extremely large. As long as I have more time, I think it is still possible to be as good as Xiyu.

But if the other party doesn't stop, the continuous fighting will give him no time to relax.

In addition, Yanzhou, Xuchang, Luoyang, Chang'an and other places are all in a straight line. If one of them is not good, Xiyu may be able to capture them all in less than a year.

When the army came back, Cao Pi directly ordered everyone to set up a camp outside the city.

Then he led everyone to the camp to discuss matters.

Sitting in the main seat, he held the desk with one hand and looked at the dejected generals below. After a long time, he looked at Xia Houchun and Xia Houyuan and said slowly: "Uncles, don't blame yourself too much. We didn't lose this battle."

injustice."

"My uncle has never led a soldier before, so we don't understand his combat strategies, habits, etc., so it's understandable that we get caught up in his strategies."

"In this way, even if you uncles are defeated, it is not without gain. At the very least, our army has already fought against Qingxu's army, and we know a thing or two about it. We will definitely not fight with this army next time we meet.
