The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Soon, the letter brought by the messenger was presented to Cao Cao.

After reading the contents of the letter, Cao Cao smiled and laughed loudly:"Yuan Gongdao is seeking death."

Yuan Shu sought death, but completely changed the situation in the south.

If Zhou Cheng takes advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhou and Yangzhou, he will have to disperse his troops again.

Zhou Cheng's troops are now scattered.

Fifty thousand troops and horses were stationed in Chencang, led by Tai Shici.

Puyang has 100,000 troops and horses, commanded by Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun.

Xu Huang commanded 30,000 troops and horses and was stationed in Yanzhou.

Zhang He commanded 20,000 troops and horses and was stationed in Xuzhou.

In addition to Zhou Wu's soldiers, Zhou Cheng had thirty thousand soldiers in Zhenliao City.

This part is the expeditionary force.

As for the garrison, the number of troops and horses left to guard Beihai increased to 30,000.

There are 20,000 people left on the Liaodong Peninsula.

There are ten thousand people stationed in Tianshan.

There are 100,000 people left in the old camp and 50,000 people in Liaocheng.

There are 30,000 garrisoned in Youzhou, 50,000 in Jizhou, and 20,000 in Qingzhou.

The rest of the troops and horses are all militiamen of the military camp.

Zhou Cheng did have many troops and horses, but the land he controlled was too large.

Therefore, Cao Cao saw an opportunity.

When Zhou Cheng gathered his troops together, no one in the world could fight against him.

However, fighting for world hegemony is not a child's play. None of the princes would be stupid enough to risk everything and decide the outcome in a battle with Zhou Cheng.

At this time, Xun Yu said:"My lord, you can send someone to lobby Han Wenyu. If this person is willing to return to Liangzhou, Liangzhou will be in chaos."

Cao Cao nodded, believing that Liu Xie would also contact Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's character is still good to Cao Cao. If Ma Teng also rebels against Zhou Cheng, then Ma Teng and Han Sui join forces to attack Chencang, and they can hold off Taishi Ci.

If the nail of Tai Shici can be pulled out, it will not be difficult for the coalition forces to attack Sanfu and enter.

Although the letter was delivered not long ago, Cao Cao and others already had countless thoughts in their minds.

……

Yanzhou City, State Mufu.

Xun Shuang was reading the memorials. The memorials delivered by Tian Yu and others were piling up every day.

If you don't finish it today, there will be a lot of it tomorrow.

Fortunately, his sons Xun Pei and Xun Biao were also transferred by Zhou Cheng to help Xun Shuang handle official affairs.

Shi Tao's role is to assist Xun Shuang in handling government affairs, and there are also supervisors in the government office.

During the work process, the work processes of Xun Shuang, Shi Tao and others will be recorded.

For example, at a certain time and moment, which county or county's memorial was processed.

This is so that they can be held accountable in the future.

Moreover, after a memorial is processed, it must not only be stamped with each person's official seal, but also signed.

After Xun Shuang worked for a while, his impression of Zhou Cheng changed greatly.

No wonder there was less talk about official corruption under Zhou Cheng in Jizhou City.

Not only did Zhou Cheng impose capital punishment on corrupt officials, but at the same time, it was too difficult to be corrupt.

Unless we can get everyone to join in the corruption, including the supervisors.

Supervision is also divided into levels, from li, to pavilion, to township, county, county, state, and finally to Zhou Cheng.

Review and monitor at all levels.

Of course, the result of this is that the workload increases. Not only are there not enough people for grassroots public officials, but sometimes when they are busy, one person has to work as several people.

At this time, Xun Biao stretched his muscles and said to Xun Shuang:"Father, I heard that Yuan Jiujiu claimed control a few days ago. I am afraid that the general trend of the world is about to change."

Xun Shuang put down the pen in his hand and said:"Four members of the Yuan family All three princes in the world were destroyed at the hands of bad men."

It can be seen that Xun Shuang was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor.

Xun Shuang had already written an appeal and was preparing to submit it to the imperial court, hoping that Zhou Cheng would approve it.

Shi Tao said:"I just don't know how my lord will deal with it. If you want to fight for the emperor's thieves, how should you govern Yuzhou and Yangzhou? If it can be like Xuzhou, it will be the best, hey."

Xun Shuang glanced at Shi Tao and said:" Guangyuan, official duties are too heavy and consume manpower and material resources. Why is no one writing a letter?"

The petition was made to advise Zhou Cheng to reduce unnecessary review and supervision and reduce the work intensity of public officials.

Shi Tao replied:"If management is loose, corruption will occur, and the lord hates it deeply."

However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhou Cheng is so strict, and the laws are too strict.

The requirements for public officials are much higher than those for civilians.

Xun Shuang, Shi Tao and others were chatting.

At this time, a government servant came in. He bowed and said,"

Mr.
