Chapter 2901 Li Cunxiao, the governor of Yanzhou, renovated the western front and made efforts on the eastern front
Chapter 2897: Li Cunxiao, the governor of Yanzhou, renovated the western front and made efforts to repair the eastern front.
After the surrender ceremony, Ying Hao mounted a snow dragon colt, surrounded by generals, and rode into Chenliu, where he accepted the onlookers and applause of the people in the city.
As for how the Snow Dragon Ju returned to Ying Hao? Of course it ran back by itself.
Hong Xuan was chased by Zhao Gongming. In order to save his life, he had to abandon his horse and escape on foot. Naturally, Zhao Gongming and others would not go out of their way to embarrass a horse.
Snow Dragon Colt is a famous horse king-level horse with extremely high spirituality. Even if no one is riding it, it still has the ability to recognize its owner and know the way, so it ran back to Xuchang by itself.
It’s just that after this experience, Xue Longju has a strong opinion of Kong Xuan. In the future, even if Ying Hao asks, it will probably not ride for Kong Xuan again.
“Hiss…”
The snow dragon colt, which returned to its master, seemed extremely excited. Carrying Ying Hao on its back, it unconsciously began to speed up and wanted to run wildly, but Ying Hao was pulled down.
“Okay, okay, I know you’ve been wronged, and I won’t let you ride on you from now on, okay?”
Ying Hao gently stroked the neck of the snow dragon colt and soothed the restless white horse.
Xue Longju seemed to understand, and slowly slowed down, allowing Ying Hao to wave to the onlookers.
The three generals Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu who were following Ying Hao did not follow immediately after seeing this scene. Instead, they hung back and talked quietly.
“Zilong, do you think that when His Majesty enters the city this time, will there be someone who is blind and assassinates you?”
"Who knows, every time His Majesty travels, he will be assassinated, and this time will be no exception. Besides, the reason why Your Majesty doesn't let us get close is because he wants to draw out those assassins, so as to solve the hidden danger once and for all."
Hearing what Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun said, Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen, who were following behind, suddenly felt their scalps numb.
Although the top generals of the 100,000-strong Cao army have clearly obeyed their orders, who knows if there are any pretenders among them who are secretly planning to assassinate them?
So, in order to ensure Ying Hao's safety after entering the city, they cleaned up Cao's army in advance.
But neither Cao Zhen nor Cao Youwen obviously expected that Ying Hao had the intention of fishing with his body.
Whether the assassination occurs or not, it seems to be detrimental to them. This will not affect them, right?
Ying Hao did have the intention of fishing with his own body so that he could wipe out one hundred thousand Cao Cao's troops in one wave. After all, there must be people loyal to Cao Cao among the one hundred thousand surrendered troops. But what he didn't expect was that from the time he entered the city to the time he arrived at the Prefect's Mansion, , there were obviously many good opportunities to assassinate him, but no assassin jumped out to assassinate him. This was a surprise to him.
You know, in order to assassinate Ying Hao, the assassins of the hostile forces have gone crazy to the point of being almost brainless. As long as there is a chance, they will rush forward regardless of whether they succeed or not. Ying Hao has also used this to lure many fish, and he has tried repeatedly. , it was accurate every time, so it was a surprise to him that it failed this time.
After Ying Hao inquired, he learned that Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen had already cleaned up beforehand, so that Ying Hao's fishing operation failed.
In this regard, Ying Hao couldn't blame the two of them. Instead, he praised them and rewarded them heavily. This made the two anxious people and the generals feel at ease.
After some understanding, Ying Hao learned that among the surrendered generals, only Cao Yun and Dong Zhao did not surrender. The main reason why they did not resist was that Cao Zhen promised that after they surrendered, they could be kept as prisoners to preserve their innocence and peace. reputation.
Although Ying Hao felt a little regretful about this, considering that the children of these two people were still in Cao Cao's hands, he would not force anything. He immediately ordered Cao Yun and Dong Zhao to be sent to the prisoner of war camp to go and fight with Cao Cao. Bin reunited.
Although Cao Yun became a prisoner, his grandson, Cao Bin's eldest son Cao Can, surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, which made the composition of Cao Bin's family more complicated.
Cao Yun and Cao Bin became prisoners of the Qin Dynasty. Cao Wei continued to serve Cao Wei, but Cao Can surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
After some pleasantries, Ying Hao got to know all the generals, and then appointed Cao Youwen and Cao Zhen, who had made the greatest contributions, as lieutenant generals and received the title of earl.
Generals such as Cao Bing, Cao Can, and Cao Tai were all appointed as major generals, while generals such as Yan Ming and Yang Xun were appointed as brigadiers;
Such a reward standard actually exceeds the value and status of the surrendered generals themselves, but after all, they are leading their troops to surrender, and it is during a war, so a heavy reward can help them return home as soon as possible.
“System, detect the five dimensions of Cao Youwen, Cao Zhen and other generals who were surrendered by Cao Army.”
【Ding Dong, Cao Youwen: Commander 95 (+1), Force 100 (+3), Intelligence 75, Politics 63, Charisma 84;
Cao Youwan: Commander 84, Force 82 (-10), Intelligence 68, Politics 54, Charisma 75;
Cao Zhen: Commander 94 (+1), Force 97 (+2), Intelligence 78, Politics 66, Charisma 78;

Linghu Shao…
…

…]
After reading the data detected by the system, to be honest, Ying Hao was still very disappointed. You must know that these 100,000 surrendered troops are the main force of Cao Wei. Even if there is no gold-level talent, there is only one silver-level talent, Cao Youwen, and the others are basically bronze.
Cao Cao is really a thief. When he saw that the situation was not going well, he ran away in advance and took away all the top talents. Otherwise, Ying Hao would have been able to survive just this wave of 100,000-level surrender. After all, although Cao Wei's national power was Weak, but there are still quite a lot of high-level talents.
Ying Hao's vision is naturally very high, and ordinary talents can no longer catch his eye, so after some picking and choosing, only Cao Youwen, Cao Zhen, and Zheng Hun, a local talent with special attributes, can get his favor.
“Where is Li Cunxiao?” Ying Hao ordered in a deep voice.
Li Cunxiao, who was originally bored and a little sleepy, suddenly became smart when he heard Ying Hao calling him, and quickly stepped out and cupped his fists and said: "The general will be here,"
“Li Cunxiao, I appoint you as the governor of Yanzhou, responsible for taking over and organizing the 100,000-strong army of Cao Wei who surrendered. You must organize this 100,000-strong army into an army for me as soon as possible.”
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Cunxiao, but also Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and others were shocked. Obviously, they did not expect that the emperor would let Li Cunxiao become the governor of Yanzhou.
Li Cunxiao certainly had enough merit in terms of merit, but not enough experience in commanding troops. He had never commanded an army of 50,000, let alone an army of 100,000. So asking him to command an army of 100,000 at once was indeed a bit counterproductive.
But when they thought about surrendering the army, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others understood a little bit. After all, they were not their own main force, so they could do whatever Li Cunxiao did.
Li Cunxiao was no longer sleepy now. After all, he was the governor-general. He was about to agree, but when he thought that he had never led an army of more than 50,000, he was directly asked to lead an army of 100,000, and he surrendered the army. I couldn't help but feel a little drumming in my heart, and my originally hot heart also cooled down a little.
“Your Majesty, you also know that the general has never commanded an army of one hundred thousand, so when he is suddenly given such an important task, the general is worried that he will betray your majesty’s trust.”
Ying Hao knew Li Cunxiao very well. When he opened his mouth, Ying Hao knew what he was going to fart. Li Cunxiao's words were not to refuse, but to negotiate terms with him.
Ying Hao not only had no dissatisfaction with this, but actually felt relieved.
He is not afraid that Li Cunxiao has many thoughts, but he is afraid that he is still stubborn and just wants to be a reckless man who charges into battle.
As for Li Cunxiao, just by looking at his attribute growth, you can tell that Ying Hao has put a lot of effort into cultivating him, and only he and Zhao Yun in the entire Da Qin can make Ying Hao feel like he is playing in the cultivation system.
Although Ying Hao put so much effort into Li Cunxiao, the effect was not good. It's not that his attributes are not high. Li Cunxiao's commander attribute also has 97 (+4) points. With a good strategist and auxiliary generals, he can command an army of 100,000. Still no problem.
But Li Cunxiao's character problem is very big. He is actually very careless. He usually has no major problems, but he has constant minor problems, and he is prone to pride, complacency and arrogance.
Listing these shortcomings individually, they are all serious problems for a general, let alone a marshal.
If it were anyone else, Ying Hao would definitely not forcefully train strong generals into handsome men, but Li Cunxiao, the best general in the world, is the business card of Great Qin like Bai Qi. If he were a handsome man, he would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the entire army. Yes, that's why Ying Hao was willing to make an exception for him.
It’s a pity that Li Cunxiao never understood Ying Hao’s hard work before. After he understood it, although he made many changes, the overall performance was still not very good.
For example, after the Battle of Puyang, Li Cunxiao went after Lan Yu alone. If he had been with Bai Qi at the time, there would have been only two battles of Dingtao. Cao Cao might not even be able to bring 30,000 cavalry with him. Fleeed back to Qiao County.
Generally speaking, Li Cunxiao is reliable most of the time, but occasionally very unreliable. There is still a lot of room for learning, growth and improvement.
Ying Hao chose Li Cunxiao as the governor of Yanzhou this time for a very simple reason. First, Li Cunxiao's status was high enough and his prestige was high enough, so he could easily conquer the surrendered army.
As for the second point, I want to take this opportunity to train Li Cunxiao in this position. He is no longer suitable to continue to be a pure general. He must transform into a commander and completely follow Xiang Yu.
Therefore, when he saw Li Cunxiao negotiating terms with him, Ying Hao felt relieved. After all, Li Cunxiao didn't have so many tricks in the past. This shows that he has grown up, knows how to think and use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and is no longer a pure fool. Husband.
“This account is finally going to be raised.”
Ying Hao sighed secretly, and then said filial piety to Li Cun: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Who do you want to help you?"
Hearing what Ying Hao said, Li Cunxiao laughed sheepishly, thinking that His Majesty understood him, so he did not hide it, and his eyes fell directly on Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was stunned when he saw this. Although he was disliked by civil servants, he was still very popular among military generals. Basically, all the major governors would compete for him, so he didn't want to go under Li Cunxiao to wipe his ass. .
Compared to Zhang Liao, who was extremely good in all aspects, Li Cunxiao could not satisfy Jia Xu in all aspects, but there were some things that he could not refuse without thinking.
"Your Majesty, do you think you can let the Grand Tutor serve as my military advisor? And let me serve as the deputy governor? Otherwise, the general will be afraid that he will not be able to shoulder this important task." Li Cunxiao said with a flattering look on his face.
"hehe…"
Ying Hao laughed directly when he heard this: "You are good at choosing people. Taifu Jia will be your military advisor, and Zilong will be your deputy governor. It is true that they are overqualified, but if you can guarantee that within a month, you will If a hundred thousand troops are organized into an army, I can agree to your request."
As soon as Ying Hao said this, Li Cunxiao was naturally overjoyed. On the other hand, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun had a wry smile on their lips.
In fact, they don’t want to go under Li Cunxiao. After all, as far as a commander is concerned, Li Cunxiao is still too immature. But judging from His Majesty’s intentions, they probably won’t be able to go if they don’t want to.
Li Cunxiao immediately issued a military order when he was in the palace, promising to reorganize the 100,000 surrendered troops within a month. Ying Hao transferred Cao Youwen, Cao Zhen, Cao Bing, Cao Can and other generals under his command to cooperate with Li Cunxiao in the attack on the 100,000 surrendered troops. Reorganize.
For the current Qin army, it is not difficult to defeat Cao Wei who has lost all its main force, but Cao Cao's scorched-earth tactics of using the people to blame the blame are really too shameless and unsolvable. Before sufficient food is prepared, it is really not suitable to fight again. Continue to march eastward.
Therefore, the Thirty Qin Army on the western front will take a temporary rest and wait until the rear has sufficient food and grass before continuing to march. This gap will be enough for Li Cunxiao to reorganize the surrendered army.
"There is no fighting on the western front, but we cannot let the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces idle. We order the three armies of Su Dingfang, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu on the eastern front to end the confrontation and begin to march towards the Ming Dynasty." Ying Hao ordered with a cold face.
