But even so, no one complained.
After all, this fire blocked the route of the Xiliang army, and it also planted the seeds of Bai Chuan's plan of alienation.
If not, what Xu Du looks like at this time is unknown.
What Bai Chuan didn't even know was that during the time he was away from the house, the threshold of his house was almost broken by others.
Most of the visitors are from the gentry.
Although Bai Chuan has faintly become the public enemy of the gentry, but these are all for the gentry.
The little gentry didn't even think about what would happen to Bai Chuan's status as a poor family.
They only thought about how to curry favor with Bai Chuan, making Bai Chuan the umbrella of their gentry.
After all, Bai Chuan is not the unknown junior who just came out of Wollongong at this time.
At this time, Bai Chuan made several outstanding military exploits.
They all knew in their hearts that once the prime minister came back, he would definitely be rewarded.
At that time, Bai Chuan's official position will rise with the tide.
If you don't climb high branches at this time, it will be too late.
However, most of the maids and guards on Baichuan's side were sent by Cao Cao, and they were all shrewd people.
They didn't say much about Bai Chuan's whereabouts, but directly refused.
Naturally, these gentry did not dare to provoke them, so they could only go back obediently one by one.
However, even if Bai Chuan knew about this, it would still be the same.
Bai Chuan himself doesn't like this kind of intrigue in court.
Dealing with these people is a waste of time.
However, in addition to being trapped in the camp of Xu Du today, there is another person that Bai Chuan cares about quite a bit.
It was Da Qiao who secretly followed him to the north.
Bai Chuan had previously promised Da Qiao that he would not leave Da Qiao in the south, so he naturally agreed with this matter.
To Bai Chuan's surprise, Da Qiao came all the way with the army. During the period, he disguised himself and followed the army all the way.
Just like that, Leng was unscathed and was living in a remote village outside Xudu.
No one in the north knew her, as long as she dressed up a little and made a ugly face, no one would pay attention to her.
This Da Qiao is really a strange woman.
However, Bai Chuan didn't have any extra experience to take care of her.
Now she will not and cannot cause too much trouble.
……
At noon, Cao Cao led a mighty army to Xudu.
The whole Xudu was buzzing with people.
Fortunately, before Cao Cao came back, they finally finished cleaning up the corpses and did not spoil Cao Cao's happiness.
It's just that this Wushi village really needs some time to clean up.
But Bai Chuan, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Xun Yu and others stood outside the city together, waiting for Cao Cao's arrival.
"The prime minister is back!"
With the loud shout of a small yellow gate, the ritual musician who had been prepared for a long time immediately blew the horn.
The drummer beat the war drum desperately on the top of the city.
The whole of Xudu is as lively as it needs to be.
Cao Cao's horses came slowly behind the city.
Xun Yu immediately cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, wait for the prime minister to return to Xudu!"
All civil and military officials bowed their hands in salute.
Cao Cao, however, glanced at the rather dilapidated city walls and the untreated blood on the ground, dismounted slowly, and said solemnly:
"Everyone is free!"
"Everyone, you are all heroes who defended Xudu!"
"This battle is due to everyone's contribution!"
Even though Cao Cao didn't see how tragic Xu Du's battle was.
But seeing the scene in front of him, he basically guessed everything.
30 Xiliang Army, plus [-] Liu Bei Army!
With so many troops, if Bai Chuan hadn't led people to ambush here in advance, I'm afraid that within two days, all of them would be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was still a little scared.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to let Bai Chuan lead the tiger and leopard riders to the north first.
It seems that this Ma Teng still has to be watched to death.
Otherwise, the north will always be difficult to be peaceful.
"Follow me into the city!"
Cao Cao couldn't help saying excitedly.
Although the Battle of Chibi was not a great victory this time, it was not defeated either.
Moreover, through this battle, Jiangdong's vitality was seriously injured.
I'm afraid it will take at least three to five years to barely recover.
And his own army is still here, and he has gained a lot of experience.
If you lead your army south again during this period, you will definitely be able to take Jiangdong!
Moreover, this time Ma Teng showed his feet.
This gave him a reason to attack Ma Teng.
With all these things, Cao Cao was really relieved.
"Jingming, Lord Xun Ling!"
"You two are the biggest contributors to this battle!"
While talking, Cao Cao took the two of them by the hand and entered the city together.
Xun Yu hurriedly said:
"Prime Minister, you can't do it!"
Cao Cao laughed and said:
"Is there anything I can't do?"
"Without the two of you, Xu Du would be filled with Xiliang flags now!"
"Stop talking! Follow me into the city!"
……
Soon after, in the prime minister's mansion.
Cao Cao is at the top, and hundreds of officials stand on both sides.
Every minister has different thoughts in his mind.
But everyone knew in their hearts that Bai Chuan would definitely be the focus of this round.
"Everyone!"
"This time, I never expected that Ma Teng and Liu Bei would actually invade Xudu!"
"Where is Xudu? It's my base camp!"
"It is the capital that links the lifeline of the entire north!"
"If Xu Du is breached, it is self-evident how serious the impact will be!"
Cao Cao said solemnly:
"I have always been punished for my mistakes, and rewarded for my merits!"
"So, this time, Jing Ming and Wen Ruo will be rewarded, and they will be rewarded heavily!"
Hearing this, everyone reacted in different ways.
Especially Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, their faces are even more wonderful.
Cao Pi only hated himself for not wooing Bai Chuan earlier.
Cao Zhi, on the other hand, gradually regretted standing with the great nobles to resist Bai Chuan.
"Prime Minister!"
At this moment, Xun Yu suddenly stood up and said solemnly:
"The prime minister is really absurd!"
"If there is a reward, the next official must be unworthy!"
"In this battle, all the credit should go to Bai Chuan, not his subordinates!"
"If it's a reward, only Bai Chuan will be rewarded!"
Chapter 127 Why dare to deploy troops privately?
As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, all the civil and military officials around him gasped.
The mood of the gentry fell directly to the bottom.
It's not a matter of whose credit it is.
Although this credit is great, it still depends on who it falls on.
Everyone in the gentry knew that Bai Chuan was absolutely indispensable for this credit, but at least half of it must be given to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu is a member of the noble family, so he can weigh Bai Chuan.
But now Xun Yu actually said that all the credit should be given to Bai Chuan!
Isn't this clearly embarrassing the gentry?
Of course, Xun Yu didn't think so much.
His idea was very simple, he really didn't do anything special, he just defended the city peacefully, without even expending much effort.
But Bai Chuan led the northern border army alone, and confronted the Xiliang army head-on.
The credit for this battle belongs to Bai Chuan.
Although the gentry were shocked, none of them dared to speak up for a while.
After all, neither Cao Cao nor Xun Yu dared to provoke him.
Whoever speaks up now, isn't it purely offending Xun Yu's face?
Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately understood, coughed twice and laughed:
"Hahaha, as expected of Mr. Xun Ling, he really has never been greedy for merit!"
"But this battle is indeed due to Xun Lingjun's contribution to defending the city. Xun Lingjun must not refuse."
"I said before that meritorious deeds must be rewarded. If Mr. Xun Ling didn't get rewarded for his hard work, wouldn't the hearts of the people in the world be chilled?"
Obviously, Cao Cao gave himself and Xun Yu a step down.
And not to put Bai Chuan in an embarrassing situation.
Cao Cao's intention to transfer Bai Chuan to Xudu is self-evident, so he must not let Bai Chuan become the target of public criticism so early.
