Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

"Master Zhong, what is my lord asking you?" Guo Jia reminded kindly.

The sleeve was pulled twice, Zhong Yao came back to his senses, looked up and saw Cao Cao was probing him with his eyes, his heart tightened, Sima Yi did this, he was only focused on raising food and grass for the country, Has nothing to do with himself.

After repeating this in his heart a few times, Zhong Yao felt that his image had become taller again, so he slowly straightened his back.

"My lord, now that Yongzhou is exhausted, and a thousand things are waiting to be rebuilt, if we want to restore this imperial capital to its former glory within three years, the mediocre talents are not enough to take on this important task!"

Zhong Yao knew in his heart that his achievements in transporting food had been discounted, if he were appointed as the governor of Sizhou at this moment, he might be able to reluctantly take up the post.

But Chang'an?Yongzhou?He is naturally self-aware.

"Of course! I am not a talented minister. I would like to recommend someone to my lord. If this person can sit in Chang'an, the capital of the emperor will prosper and Yongzhou will prosper. He will surely be able to support the old and the young. After three years, he will naturally be able to make soldiers here There is enough fine food, and I will add another powerful state and county to my lord!"

"Oh? I don't know who has such a great talent?" Cao Cao asked Zhong Yao's words.

"Return to my lord, this person is far away from the horizon!"

Zhong Yao was talking, with a warm smile on his face, and he pointed casually, but his eyes were on Ning Rong in the distance.At this moment, he did not have the panic-stricken look of last night at all, presumably this is the background of the aristocratic family.

Chapter 8, Chapter [-], Governor of Yongzhou

Ning Rong was pushing aside the grass on the side of the street at this moment, several corpses were already lying there dry, one of the children looked famished, with his chest stuck to his back, obviously starved to death, while the other was wearing a Western Liang Military uniform, the spiked arrow pierced his heart, but he stared at the sky with wide eyes.

God, as if to remember the last appearance of this world.

war!

Kill!

Cruel death and terrifying iron blood can make a person grow up quickly.

Those Zongjiao children who were supposed to be carefree in the first place looked at Ning Rong with their fingers in their mouths, turning a deaf ear to the terrifying corpse.

"Zhiyuan..."

In the distance, Cao Cao waved and greeted Ning Rong.

Speaking of which, Ning Rong's appearance in Chang'an City still shocked Cao Cao.

Even though Ning Rong told the whole thing long and short, he was also very glad that he left Ning Rong in Xudu back then.

No!He got [-] shi of grain for nothing, and it was sent by those greedy and despicable people voluntarily. Thinking of this, Cao Cao wanted to go back to Xudu quickly and see the faces of those people.

"My lord..."

Ning Rong came back to his senses, turned around and walked towards Cao Cao.

"Zhiyuan, people in all parts of Chang'an are living in dire straits, and barren camps are all over the place. Therefore, the responsibilities here are heavy and the road is far away. Gu Wang thinks, probably only you can take on this burden!"

Cao Cao said to Ning Rong earnestly, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

The Guanzhong Plain is a land of abundance. During the reign of King Hui of Qin, Zhang Yihe lobbied the Seven Kingdoms vertically and horizontally. He once said that Guanzhong is the land above the frontiers.

Afterwards, Qin State refused to guard the Hangu Pass, looked eastward to the six kingdoms and competed for supremacy in the world, and finally became the name of Yingzheng Shihuang, shining ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

It can be said that the Guanzhong Plain became famous earlier than Yizhou's Land of Abundance, and therefore, the Guanzhong area is the most important.

"My lord trusts me, the people of the people have a heavy responsibility, and it is my duty to accept the king's salary. I am willing to be the governor of Yongzhou and rebuild the old mountains and rivers!"

Ning Rong's tone was low, but his face was full of solemnity, that serious look made Cao Cao's heart tremble.

Is this... the Ning Rong that I am familiar with?

Guo Jia glanced at Ning Rong quite happily. The lazy guy in the past finally became serious. Maybe it was the poor livelihood here that stimulated him, but... this way he can sleep more lazily.

With Ning Rong's Yongzhou, it is naturally safe, Guo Jia's heart is completely relieved, there is no reason, it is because of the trust in his brother.

Just like Ning Rong believed that Guo Jia could help Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao in Hebei, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was getting closer.

Today, after Cao Cao occupied Chang'an in Luoyang, he took Luoyang as the center, designated Hanoi County, Henan County, Hedong County, Hongnong County, Pingyang County and other counties as Sizhou, and appointed Pei Mao as Sizhou Governor.

Chang'an was also used as the governing seat, Fufeng County, Fengyi County, Jingzhao County, Anding County, Tianshui County, Guangwei County, Longxi County, Nan'an County and other counties were designated as Yongzhou, and Ningrong was appointed governor of Yongzhou.

In this way, with the addition of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Huainan and other places occupied by Cao Cao before, Cao Wei's banner has been planted all over the five states of the Han Dynasty!This is not counting Youzhou in the Northern Kingdom.

I am afraid that if Yuan Shao knew that the Northern Yan State was also surnamed Cao at this moment, he would have led an army of one million to Xudu and fought Cao Cao to the death. However, I believe that as the news spread to Yecheng, Jizhou, Yuan Shao could not sit still. .

Whether the Battle of Guandu will break out, Ning Rong doesn't know, but the battle of Yuan Cao is inevitable, and...he also knows that he will not be able to keep up with the battle that determines the direction of the world.

Ning Rong knew that Cao Cao's purpose of keeping him in Chang'an, Yongzhou was to deter and involve the hostile forces in Xiliang, Hanzhong, Bashu, Qiang, Bingzhou and other places.

Only with a stable rear area can Cao Cao return to Xudu wholeheartedly and prepare for the protracted war.

……

Ten days later, Cao Cao sorted out the civil affairs and military affairs of the entire Yongzhou and Sizhou, and then, under the protection of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the Wuwei army, the tiger guard army and other troops, he left Tongguan in a mighty way and returned to Xudu. .

Xia Houyuan was not as Ning Rong had expected, and was appointed as the governor of the Western Front Governor's Mansion, controlling the military power of Yongzhou and Sizhou.

At the same time, Xu Huang, the general of the right guard, and Zhao Yun, the general of the left guard, were also left by Cao Cao as Xia Houyuan's reinforcements from the left and the right.

Not only that, but the more than 4 surrendered troops of the Xiliang Army were also kept by Cao Cao. Duan Wei left very cleanly, but took away his own personal guards. Obviously he knew Cao Cao's bottom line.

Although Cao Cao didn't say it clearly, Xia Houyuan and Ning Rong looked at Liu Ruo, Liu Xun, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, Yin Shu and other five miscellaneous generals in front of them. I don't understand what Cao Cao means.

Before Cao Cao left, he once said: "Guard Guanzhong and other places, take Xia Houyuan as the governor of the Guanzhong Dudufu, and move the capital guards Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhu Ling, Liu Ruo, Luzhao, Liu Xun, and Yin to the seven armies, Gai Since Chang'an is an important town, we have specially reserved heavy troops to defend it!"

Not bad!

Xia Houyuan's status in Cao Ying jumped instantly, becoming the first governor who could control the Seventh Army. Ning Rong knew that this was several years earlier than in history.

However, except for Zhao Yun who led the left guard and Xu Huang who led the right guard, the remaining five generals were originally Pi generals in the Weiwei army.Obviously, the more than 4 surrendered troops were prepared for them.

"Inspector Ning, what's your opinion?" Xia Houyuan asked mightily and domineeringly, dressed in military uniform.

"The governor of the Seventh Army should sort out the military affairs, and Ning Mou is the governor of Yongzhou. He should gather the refugees, resettle the people, and persuade them to teach farming and mulberry, so as to restore the prosperity of Chang'an as soon as possible."

Ning Rong smiled, and said to Xia Houyuan calmly.

He would not be so foolish as to think that Xia Houyuan was really asking him for advice. The Cao Wei Group pursued that both civil and military officials perform their own duties. This was originally proposed by Ning Rong, and he would naturally abide by it.

Cao Cao naturally accepted the suggestion to maintain his hegemony, otherwise he would not only let Xia Houyuan control the military power, but never mention the political power. Now that Ning Rong is the governor of Yongzhou, it is nothing more than mutual restraint with Xiahou Dun's governor's mansion.

"Well...Chen Cheng, the governor of the capital heard that you are full of blood, and he took the lead in responding to General Duan, killing the traitor Li Que. You should be responsible for breaking the city. There is a shortage of generals under the superintendent's account. I don't know if you would be willing to serve ?”

Xia Houyuan's eyes were fixed, his words were polite, but his face was full of resoluteness that could not be questioned.

"The end will be ordered!"
