Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 174
Cao Cao was in a very bad mood. Although Cao Jun successfully captured Runan County in Huainan, there was obviously more bad news.

The army sent by Yuan Shao to Huainan to take over Yuan Shu's territory was intercepted by Cao's army in Qingzhou, but everything was fine.

But after the news of Ye Xiao's victory over Yuan Shu spread, Yuan Tan, the leader of Yuan's army, took the initiative and led a surprise attack to occupy Beihai.

In addition, Ye Xiaojun took over most of Yuan Shu's territory without making any noise, and became a huge crocodile in the east, no longer the random little man he used to be.

The point is that after defeating Yuan Shu, Ye Xiao announced the jade seal to others on the spot, and famously said that he would return the jade seal to the Han Dynasty.

This was like slapping Cao Cao severely. After Han Xiandi Liu Xie received the news, he was ecstatic, but he didn't dare to take much action in Xudu.

It's just that Cao Cao can hear all kinds of rumors in Xudu, all of which are praises for Ye Xiao, sighs for the fall of the Han Dynasty, and dissatisfaction with his sword shoes.

Regardless of whether Ye Xiao made enough profits from this wave, Cao Cao had to suffer the loss even if he kept his head down.

According to Guo Jia's suggestion, not only can Cao Cao not trouble Ye Xiao, but now he has to give him more rewards, and win Yuxi back with the highest courtesy, so as to preserve Cao Cao's image in front of the world.

Cao Cao was depressed for several days before deciding on this matter in the main hall where the emperor went to court, and sent his counselor Cheng Yu to take charge.

Cao Cao was not the only one who was depressed. After fleeing from Xuzhou, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang wandered all the way. They wanted to join Cao Cao, but when Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, he knew what was going on.

Liu Bei was so frightened that he fled Xudu overnight, and discussed with the two brothers on the road, whether to go to Jizhou to join his old classmate Yuan Shao, or to join his uncle Liu Biao.

Due to the choice of distance, the three brothers still came to Jingzhou. After meeting Liu Biao and Liu Bei, they felt that Liu Biao had lofty ambitions, and let him station in Xinye County, Nanyang County.

Liu Bei was very grateful and kept raising soldiers in Xinye for a while. Three thousand wandering soldiers finally had a place to stay. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also trained very hard.

However, Liu Bei was not happy. He had the world in mind, but he could only be trapped in one place. Especially after hearing about Xuzhou Ye Xiao's victory over the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and even returning the jade seal to the Han Dynasty, he was so jealous that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

When Yuan Shao in Jizhou received the news that his son occupied Beihai and Ye Xiao defeated Yuan Shu, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Gongsun Zan in the north of Liaodong had just been besieged in Yijing, and before the war ended, his son first provoked Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu was even more useless. In just one month, Ye Xiao broke the wine cup, and his reinforcements wasted time on the road.

Just like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was slightly better, but he still had to break his teeth and swallow it, because Ye Xiao sent an envoy to return Yuan Shu and his son so that he could fulfill his responsibility as a father and brother to teach the younger generations.

In order to save the face of the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shao had no choice but to agree, and also thanked Ye Xiao for helping Yuan Shu take care of Huainan and other places, feeling very useless.

Ye Xiao, who didn't know that he had slapped several big bosses in the face, was still urging Xu Fu to implement the land equalization system and the three-head system in Shouchun City.

The entire Shouchun City seemed to be reborn. These refugees and the people of Shouchun City after the war first felt that there was a difference between the ruling class.

When Yuan Shu was in power, the tax rate was good at the beginning, but when he fought Ye Xiao later, the tax became more and more heavy, and adult men were drawn out to fight.

After Ye Xiao arrived, in accordance with the agreement between Gao Shun and Li Feng at that time, all of Yuan Jun's prisoners except for a few stabs were returned to their hometowns, and the chaos in Huainan was stabilized.

Ye Xiao's first decision to release the captives won the support of many people, and then he vigorously launched the government decrees of the equal land system and the three-head system.

All the measured land was registered in the register, and then according to each village to the county, everyone had to re-register the population information. Xu Fu brought dozens of officials, and even Mi Zhu stayed to help, and he was able to sort out and complete the distribution tasks.

Including the refugees, the land measured by Xu Fu was distributed according to the population. A family of five had more than [-] mu of fertile land and one mu of mulberry land.

The entire Shouchun County was boiling. For the first time, these farmers who faced the land every day felt that they had a goal in life, which was to farm well. They also prayed to God every day that Ye Xiaojun would not be driven away, and their land would be gone.

With the smooth development of Shouchun County, Xu Fu and Mi Zhu moved to Donghai County to allocate the registered population and land prepared in advance, and began to follow the steps of Shouchun area.

After completing the work in these two places, both Xu Fu and Mi Zhu lost a lot of weight, but both of them are in good spirits and feel that they have completed a great job.

"Yuanzhi, I think that within a year, the lord's prestige will be in full swing in Kyushu, unstoppable."

Mi Zhu finished sorting out all the final files, and said with a sigh of relief.

Xu Fu showed a natural expression, and said with a smile: "Zizhong, the lord is not a mortal, and he will definitely be famous all over the world. You didn't see it? Today, the news from various villages in Donghai City, many people began to give lord a message at home. Pray for public cards."

"Haha, my lord, this is really what the people want. What a pity for this jade seal." Mi Zhu's eyes flashed and she looked at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu still smiled, his understanding of Ye Xiao was the deepest among several advisers.

"My lord handles the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao this time. I think it's very good. It's just the jade seal. Although the lord doesn't seem to care about that thing, he proposed the equal land system and the three-head system. Could it be that brother Zizhong? Can't you see where the heart of the lord is?"

Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that his vision was a little short-sighted, and quickly bowed his hands to apologize.

Ye Xiao, who was far away in Shouchun, didn't know how many things he had discussed with his two advisers, and he was busy receiving the angel.

This angel is different from the last announcement. Since Ye Xiao has publicly spoken about returning the jade seal to the emperor, Ye Xiao knows that this kind of thing must be done well, and he can't let others talk about it.

So Ye Xiao took Lu Qiling and Chen Gong as the temporary ceremonial officer, and after several days of busy work, they finally finished the reception.

Ye Xiao was so tired that he regretted it. If he knew it would be such a trouble, he sent someone to send Yuxi to Xudu directly.

Chen Gong saw Ye Xiao's helplessness and secretly laughed a few times.

Finally, everyone waited until the day when the angel arrived, left Shouchun City early, and set up a guard of honor one mile away to receive them.

Ye Xiao and Lu Qiling both dressed up according to Chen Gong's request, and they looked more majestic.
