Chapter 365: Brother, we can’t favor one over the other!
Returned defeated.
Guo Yuan, who was entrusted with the important task by Yuan Shang, finally prepared the four-pronged army carefully, and the second battlefield he hoped to open with great vision was just aborted.
Zhong Yao and Ma Teng were in power and did not spare others. They chased with their troops and killed Guo Yuan's army until it completely collapsed.
The unlucky Guo Yuan, who was full of confidence, was also killed in the rebellion.
Hearing that Guo Yuan was dead, Yi Xiaotian went out to look for his head while cleaning the battlefield.
In this era, to win a war, you have to cut off the head of the enemy's commander to be considered a meritorious service, especially if the opponent's commander is dead. Whoever gets the head will be promoted to the next level.
Yi Xiaotian told everyone to find Guo Yuan's head. What he found was not promoted to the first level, but directly to the third and fifth levels.
All the soldiers were a little confused...
Why does Mr. Yi, who is so determined in command and so wise as a monster, want Guo Yuan's head...
Finally, Ma Chao's brother and Ma Teng's general Pang De took out Guo Yuan's head from the quiver on his horseback.
Yi Xiaotian finally took a breath and hurriedly ordered someone to hand it back to Zhong Yao.
After all, they are nephews. They were brought up by themselves when they were young. Half-uncle is like half-mother. If they were not born in such troubled times, they would not be able to meet each other. They would have to drink a pot of wine and find a brothel.
Let's fly together... It's a pity that creation confuses people.
Of course...because Yi Xiaotian is so upset.
All the officers and soldiers of the three armies knew that Guo Yuan turned out to be Zhong Yao's nephew. Suddenly, everyone was stunned and admired Zhong Yao from the bottom of their hearts...
Even Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De admire Zhong Yao!
Leading an army to fight for his life with his nephew, putting official matters first and personal affairs last, this kind of moral character of killing relatives for justice is commendable!
As a result, Zhong Yao's fame suddenly soared to the sky in Kansai, almost as if he could rival the "God of Fire" Yi Xiaotian.
Who could have known that this was a blessing that Yi Xiaotian deliberately gave to Zhong Yao, and a reputation that shocked Guanzhong!
"Sorry...sorry!"
Even the rough guy Pound looked embarrassed. After all, he was the one who cut off Guo Yuan's head with his own hands.
When Zhong Yao heard this, his original cry disappeared. He wiped his tears and thought about it in his heart.
"That's it, that's all, I can't cry, I can't cry anymore. Mr. Yi has worked so hard, and I can't let him down!"
call…
With this in mind, Zhong Yao exhaled.
His tone became calm again.
"General Pound, don't blame yourself. Although Guo Yuan is my nephew, he betrayed the imperial court and has been a traitor for a long time. The general has done great service by killing him. I will report my merits to the imperial court and let the imperial court reward Pound."
General!"
This is the great calligrapher...
When my nephew died, I just cried bitterly for a while. After realizing Yi Xiaotian's intention, I immediately calmed down.
Zhong Yao understands, and Yi Xiaotian understands even more that war is cruel and does not take into account family ties. As long as you participate in the war, even the things you are most reluctant to part with will most likely be destroyed in it.
Phew...the dust has settled!
For Cao Cao, Yecheng was captured, and the Yuan family's plan for the second battlefield in Guanzhong was aborted. Everything seemed to be proceeding step by step according to Yi Xiaotian's plan...
Now, it seems that we are only a short distance away from taking over the entire northern border in one fell swoop!
Jizhou, Yecheng.
"Yeah…"
After receiving the letter from Guanzhong, Cao Cao felt extremely sad...
Sure enough, he is worthy of Brother Yi. In the face of internal and external troubles, the Yuan family gathered four armies, and the stalls of Chang'an City were in danger. With their own efforts, they turned the tide from the fall and helped the city of Chang'an to fall. Such a big heart and such ability
Breathtaking!
"Brother, you are indeed Brother Yi!"
Cao Ren couldn't help but be excited... "I think this Zhong Yao's letter is also well written. There is not a single boastful word in the whole article, but throughout the whole article he praises Yi Xiaotian without hesitation..."
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao continued to laugh, and the good news that came out one after another made him a little forgetful... He even wanted to sit at the same table with Yi Xiaotian, cook thirty or fifty dumplings, and serve two
The fine wine of Hudukang Village...drink it to your heart's content.
Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve been so drunk with Brother Yi!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little melancholy...
"Brother..." Cao Ren seemed to notice some content in the letter, and he immediately reminded him.
"Brother, did you pay attention to the last point Zhong Yao mentioned in his letter?"
Well…
After being reminded by Cao Ren, Cao Cao really remembered it. He hurriedly mentioned the letter again and looked at the end...
This is a line of small print that tells the scene of the game between Zhong Yao and Yi Xiaotian on the eve of the war.
At that time.
Yi Xiaotian offered to make a bet with Zhong Yao, and the bet was the land in the deserted land of Chang'an City!
Phew...this...
Suddenly, Cao Cao had an inkling, probably, Brother Yi is thinking about doing business again, right?
Speaking of which, Brother Yi has made such a great contribution this time. It would be unkind to just reward some horses according to the original plan...
Cao Cao felt that it was not possible at first. This reward was too small and not worthy of Brother Yi's illustrious achievements. However, Brother Yi did not care about fame and fortune. Give him a high-ranking official. People would not be interested in him!
This will probably become another worry for Cao Cao...
However, Zhong Yao's reminder is just right. Is it the land of Chang'an City or the land of a deserted place?
Could it be that Brother Yi wants to spend money to build some venues and use them for profit...
But...the Guanzhong area is sparsely populated, so no one consumes it?
If Brother Yi does this, he will probably lose 80% of the time.
At this time, Cao Cao was thinking about Yi Xiaotian...
"That's all, that's all."
After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao waved his hand. We really can't go into this matter. Since Brother Yi likes it, then simply give it to him... No, giving it to him would be too obvious and would easily reveal his identity. He has to be
Sell it to him for just this price.
Haha...Cao Cao made up his mind to pay attention.
"Zixiao, help me prepare pen and paper!"
Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren.
"Okay..." Cao Ren didn't hesitate, quickly sharpened his ink, and kept asking.
"Brother?
Are you going to write a letter to Governor Zhong Yao?"
"It's not just Zhong Yao!"
Cao Cao's expression became much more serious.
"Didn't Brother Yi promise to give Ma Teng the title of Guard Lieutenant and General Fu Bo? I will send a letter to Xun Lingjun and ask him to take action.
We can't hold back on what Brother Yi promised! And for this great victory, all levels of civil and military officials will be rewarded, and we will also leave it to Xun Lingjun!"
Cao Ren nodded, wondering in his heart that his elder brother Cao Cao was indeed rigorous and meticulous.
But at this moment, Cao Cao's words came out again.
"Also, regarding Brother Yi's commendations and rewards, I thought about it and sold him all the land in Chang'an City, whether it was abandoned or good... Any merchant who rents a building or a farmer who reclaims wasteland must discuss it with Brother Yi.
...In Chang'an City, we only station troops, only collect taxes, and do not interfere with the development of Brother Yi's business!"
"Brother is so wise!"
Cao Ren handed over his hand.
He admired Cao Cao's decision immensely...
In the desolate land of Chang'an City, even if they vigorously develop commerce and agriculture, they may not be able to develop as they should. It is better to throw this problem to Brother Yi!
Let him develop... If he develops well, he will make a lot of money, and at the same time, the tax revenue of Chang'an City will also rise. This is a win-win situation!
However, if Chang'an City does not develop well, then...
As soon as this idea appeared, Cao Ren shook his head violently. Brother Yi took action, how could it not develop well?
Too much worry, definitely too much worry.
Ha ha…
After writing these two letters, Cao Cao felt much relieved.
He was about to pick up the letter and give it to Cao Ren and send it over quickly... Suddenly, he seemed to think of something else.
"etc…"
Cao Cao, who had just stood up, sat down again and smiled slightly.
"I forgot to send a letter to Brother Yi in Ah Ma's name."
Well…
Hearing this, Cao Ren also smiled.
"Brother, what do you want to write?"
"Well..." Cao Cao rolled his eyes.
"Just write that I built him a villa with a cabin thirty miles outside Yecheng, and let him come back and see if he likes it or not!"
Huo...30 miles outside Yecheng?
Is it another villa?
Cao Ren was startled... Only after participating in Chen Liu and Xu Du's two expansions of Youjian Villa did he know how much money it costs to build a Villa from scratch...
This time, there will be another one outside Yecheng. This is really a big deal!
In addition to being surprised, for a moment, Cao Ren actually envied Yi Xiaotian. He even thought... Big brother... how about you also shed blood and reward the virtuous brother with a villa to play with?
Toying with?
We can favor one over the other, but we can't favor one over the other so obviously!
