Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 91

"Hahaha!!" Xi Zhicai immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, his words could not be more clear, when the lord set up the five-color sticks, he beat many scholar-bureaucrats.

Even eunuchs and celebrities who are close to the emperor, once they violated the code of law, they could still hit them, which caused an uproar at that time.

Of course, not too many years later, the lord went to Dunqiu to be the county magistrate.

Had a very miserable few years.

It was not until a few years later that the court servants transferred him back, and many of them were assisted by Yuan Shao.

If we talk about the years of those years, they are all magnificent.

At this time, the two close friends looked at each other and smiled, drinking to such an extent that some words were like wine jars, and it was time to bottom out.

"Feng Xiao won't regret it?"

Xi Zhicai raised his last toast and raised his hands to ask Fengxiao.

With a bright smile on Guo Jia's face, he raised his glasses and clinked them, and drank them all in one gulp.

"If you only have regrets, how tiring you should be."

Guo Jia supported his upper body, leaned closer to Xi Zhicai and said: "One should make the best of his talents and not short his ambitions. The lord I, Guo Fengxiao, will choose will never be wrong."

"You and I also said in the Yingchuan hut that if there is no one to appreciate in the world, we will spend the rest of our lives farming and selling wine, but if there are people who appreciate it, we can entrust them with our lives."

"Don't care about life, what else is scary in the world?!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed, and Zhan Yan also smiled. He just likes Feng Xiao's temperament, but when he does good deeds, don't ask about his future, and once he decides who to follow, he will never waver in the slightest.

As I said back then, for a confidant who appreciates you, you don't have to die.

The future reputation is dangerous, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Berwen is the one you recommended."

At this time, he suddenly mentioned Xu Bowen, which made Xi Zhicai slightly stunned.

"Yes, Bowen is the person I recommended, and I once regarded him as another filial piety."

Guo Jia raised the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "So at this time, he must be planning something for the lord. The Xu Bowen you know is strict with himself, and he never makes mistakes."

"I don't believe that he is a rich man who won a small profit and a title, but forgets his heart."

"I don't believe it either."

"There must be some storms in this treacherous Xudu. Only when everything settles down can we truly control it."

Guo Jia knew very well that Xudu had just settled down and the emperor had just arrived, but behind the scenes, the situation was changing extremely fast, and the intrigue was far from over.

If there is no stability inside, how can we calm down the chaotic world outside.

In this way, every strategist should be using his own strategy to stabilize the situation.

Those who really have the ability to manage the country have already established themselves in a clear place.

"Xiaohe just showed her sharp horns... A dragonfly has already stood on her head. You say this dragonfly...is it Qingtinghou from Andai?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed, "Who made it? Where did you hear this line of filial piety?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly, "My lord told me the day before yesterday, Bo Wen did it."

"Oh..." Xi Zhicai was taken aback for a moment, and based on his understanding of Xu Zhen, he immediately felt that this was probably just a pure coincidence, and he said it casually.

……

that night.

Inside Sikong Mansion.

After Cao Cao dealt with official affairs in various places, he was a little puzzled when he heard what Cao Chun came to report.

Staring at him suspiciously for a long time, "Is it really what Bo Wen said?"

"Yes, he came to me today and told me about it."

"Hmph," Cao Cao sneered, stood up and paced with his hands behind his back, and after walking back and forth for a long time, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he said to Cao Chun, "Do you think there are hidden dangers in this trip? Are you afraid that I will be defeated?"

"I can even welcome the emperor. Many generals can fight decisively and change the way to welcome the emperor into Xudu. I can't take him down with mere Zhang Xiu? What's more, Zhang Ji has just died. How can Zhang Xiu stabilize the situation? If the soldiers and horses at this time If you don’t accept it, when will you wait?”

When Cao Cao heard the news, he knew that if he went to Wancheng here, he would definitely take Zhang Xiu under his command before he could gain a foothold.

Gradually change defenses in the future, not only to make him surrender, it is not as simple as worrying about the future, but Zhang Xiu can be used as a rear barrier to guard against Liu Biao.

This matter is considered to be of great importance, if Zhang Xiu can help, one of the worries can be solved.

Cao Cao is so talented and strategic, so he naturally understands that the battle between him and Yuan Shao has already begun, not only for the support of the surrounding forces, but more importantly, for time.

Whoever solves his worries first can take the lead in making reserves, planning routes, and preparing for a big battle.

No matter how important this battle is, it should be an extremely important part of each other's strategies.

Yuan Shao didn't know about it, but Cao Cao knew that one day he would surpass his big brother.

As for Yuan Shao, it is likely that in the past few years, he did not regard himself as a strong enemy.

This is the advantage.

Moreover, with the emperor's edict, as long as there are no other mistakes, it can buy time, so that Yuan Shao can't attack at will, at least he must be famous.

Cao Cao thought of this with complicated emotions, and couldn't help but reconfirmed in his heart. Wancheng must go, and it is absolutely impossible for Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu to get too close.

Yuan Shao's people cannot be allowed to go to Wancheng first.

"Well... Zihe, what do you think about this matter?"

"Sikong, the general thinks that since there is such a guess, it is not an exaggeration to make such an arrangement. Bowen rarely asks for help. Since he came to ask me today, no matter what the reason is, he should think about it."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao held his hand for a while, and said quite arrogantly: "I am not afraid of the loss of this little food and grass. Just take [-] soldiers and horses and go along Anding County, and then support them. After our soldiers and horses arrive in Wancheng, we will station them outside to support them." .”

"Thank you, my lord."

Cao Chun clasped his fists and left.

After he left, Cao Cao smiled wryly and shook his head.

"This Bowen is really getting more and more timid."

"However, I'm still worried about my safety, I can feel it."

Cao Cao thought about it again in his heart, but he still didn't find any hidden dangers in Wancheng. The mere Zhang Xiu was nothing, and the one who beat his uncle was dead and there was no foreign aid.

Although Liu Biao made peace with him, he would never send troops to help him.

Thinking of the end, he was certain that Bowen must be thinking too much.

"It's not a bad thing to be cautious by nature."

"But if you have the chance to win, you have to strike at once. Speed ​​is the most important thing! If you are three-point sure, you can go for it, and if you are seven-point sure, you can try your best! If you only do what you are very sure of, you will accomplish nothing!"

"What's the difference between this and Yuan Shao!? He's resourceful and hesitant to move forward. Regardless of marching or strategy, you should be brave and diligent, and do your best."

With this thought in Cao Cao's mind, he immediately stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him peacefully.

……

night.

In Xu Zhen's backyard.

The spear shone coldly, like a spirit snake, bypassing Xu Chu's sword and pointing towards his shoulder.

when!
Xu Chu blocked with a horizontal sword, took advantage of the situation to bully, and slashed down with both hands, but because he was practicing against Xu Zhen, he didn't dare to do his best.

He still has the strength to stop the big knife, and dare not do it with all his strength.

But when the big sword was about to reach Xu Zhen's face, he moved his footsteps and swung the spear to the right. Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled away a little and avoided Xu Chu's slash.

Then look back like looking at the moon, go around to the left and then sweep smoothly.

Xu Chu was caught off guard by this, and in shock, he took a step sideways, leaning the handle of the big knife in front of him.

when!
There was another sound of gold and iron.

Xu Chu took a few steps back.

Xu Zhen, on the other hand, took advantage of the momentum and went up. After the spear bounced away, he turned around and stabbed three times, and then raised. These are all basic moves. With his footsteps, his strength gradually increases.

It gradually became difficult for Xu Chu to resist, so he could only keep retreating.

When he retreated to the wall, Xu Zhen stabbed obliquely again, which was as fast as lightning.

But it hovered in front of him.

At this moment, Xu Chu realized that Junhou had also been keeping his strength.

[You fought a close battle and won, self-discipline value +160]

[Current self-discipline value: 3160]

【Current winning streak: 4】

"The next time you win, you can get consecutive additional rewards."

Xu Zhen thought to himself.

Still need to continue to strengthen.

Brush life during the day, brush force and self-discipline at night.

Xu Chu was secretly startled, leaning his sword against the wall, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty's martial art is really strong, it seems that Dian Wei is not flattering you."

If they fight on the battlefield, it may be difficult to win in a short time.

Such a prince is really a counselor? !

Although he is capable of both civil and military skills, when he is marching, he is basically being brought by the lord's side for the counselor, not for the general to lead the army.

It is said that the last time he went to Runan was the first time he led the army.

It is the first time to lead an army with such a commanding ability, and the prestige and charm in the army are comparable to famous generals, which has to be admired.

"Oh," Xu Zhen sighed slightly when he heard Dian Wei, "Zhongkang, you don't owe anything, do you?"

Xu Chu smiled, "I owe you favors."

"That's good."

The thoughts in Dian Wei's mind, Cao Ang said it again today.

Then Xu Zhen had many entrustments, and even planned to follow him as a military adviser.

But was persuaded.

The imperial city is uneasy, and the duty of executive Jinwu is also heavy.

Especially this year, there must be no mistakes.

I still want to sit here, and Xu Zhen has never underestimated the family of the gentry. They have not fallen for more than four hundred years and stand on the top of the big man.

Even in many families, because of the lord's kindness, most of the officials are his disciples, and in some eras, they are even more powerful than the emperor.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the Taiping Dao incident back then. Whether it has anything to do with the party is still unknown. Now it is no longer a matter of test, and there is no need to explore it.

But these things are enough to show that even if Xu Du is in the hands of the lord, the gentry must not take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, why are you always worried about Dian Wei?"

"I don't have anything to worry about. I only care about my daily duties and enjoy the rest of my life in peace."

Xu Zhen smiled deeply, "He is so brave, so he will surely succeed."

……

autumn harvest.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou are still steadily increasing their income, and their warehouses are full of rice.

After the forage increased this year, the grazing horses also grew well, so wandering merchants began to appear between the two places, selling other goods.

Because of this, Xudu gradually became stable, and all the food was sent to Yuzhou for stockpiling.

And Liu Bei is also worthy of his name. During this period of time, he is a corporal, and he is not in a hurry.

There were good harvests everywhere, so when sending grain to Xudu, Cao Cao had to praise the emperor, ask for praise, and issued an imperial edict to praise, which boosted his reputation.

However, due to diligence and official duties, he has not yet come to court to see the emperor.

Of course he didn't come this time.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't have time to invite.

After the autumn harvest, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Cao Cao abandoned his original plan of spring plowing and reappearance, and directly led his troops to march south, heading towards Nanyang.

Knowing that Zhang Xiu was stationed in Wancheng, he immediately crossed the Fei River and set up camp.

Cao Cao sent Dian Wei as the vanguard, and fought many generals under Zhang Xiu's command before attacking the city. Although Zhang Xiu's soldiers were brave, they lost to Dian Wei.

Many people were beheaded, but Cao Cao also saw that Zhang Xiu was a good leader in battle. His title of Marquis of Xuanwei was definitely not obtained by flattering the emperor from his uncles.

So moved the heart of love for talents, and deliberately recruited.

At this time, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu's counselor, persuaded him several times. He saw that Cao Cao had many soldiers and horses, and knew that he had no worries in the rear at this time, and Yuan Shao had no time to attack Xu and Yanzhou, so he asked Zhang Xiu to accept it.

No.12.

When Cao Cao's army was about to besiege Wancheng, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to surrender, opened the city gate, and welcomed Cao Cao at the gate of Wancheng.

They greeted Jia Xu together, and during the period, as a show of determination, they obeyed Jia Xu's orders, and all of them did not bring weapons or armor, and placed the camp on the outside of the city.

In the city, only [-] soldiers and horses were left to guard the security.

In order to welcome Cao Cao's guard of honor.

In such a battle, Cao Cao could tell at a glance that there was no suspicion. This embroidery may be a sincere surrender, not a repetition.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's envoy would definitely not be able to arrive so quickly, Zhang Xiu had never met Yuan Shao's person.

As for Liu Biao?

Liu Biao never came to Cao Cao's aid during the war, and he won't come now, but he might just take advantage of the chaos and cut off his way out.

Everything went very smoothly.

Before Cao Cao got off his horse, he only sighed with Dian Wei, "Bowen is too worried."

"Of course it's too much worry! Elder brother must be too cautious to speak up so many times. Is it possible that he is reluctant to be hurt because he is in a high position now!" A clear voice rang out from the crowd, although the voice was not loud, But Dian Wei listened to it.

So I looked back and saw young people in their teens talking freely.

His expression was quite relaxed and leisurely, as if he wanted to show something. Seeing this, Cao Ang was so frightened that he hurriedly scolded, "Anmin! Don't talk nonsense!!"

"Okay, okay, what brother said is true, and I just said it casually, not to offend brother Bowen."

"Hey, but this trip really went well."

He lowered his voice and didn't look at Dian Wei at all, but said with a smile to Cao Ang, "We can reward you for your merits when you get back."

"Anmin, don't be complacent, don't be overjoyed."

"Understood, brother."

Cao Anmin put away his smile, but his eyes were observing the people around him, especially Cao Cao, so that he could do something at any time.

In fact, he also saw Cai Dianwei's eyes just now, and he was indeed a little nervous, so he quickly explained that he didn't intend to offend.

But when he thought that his life was saved by General Dian Wei, he felt relieved.

In his opinion, this southern expedition was for meritorious service.

So he took his elder brother Zixiu with him, and then specially transferred General Dian Wei, who had a good relationship with his elder brother, to guard him.

You can follow along for a share.

Then this trip is going to show off the tricks, and maybe I can make my uncle happy, so I can praise him in the clan when I go back.

This is just a small episode.

After everyone got off their horses, Cheng Yu followed Cao Cao all the way to Zhang Xiu.

At this time, Zhang Xiu sincerely surrendered, and his heart gradually changed from anxiety to stability.

Belonging to Cao Cao, you should not have to be displaced in the future. If you can gain merits in the battle and continue to build fame, you will be able to live up to your uncle's trust.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was more concerned about the more than [-] soldiers and horse brothers who followed behind him.

Although they added a lot in Wancheng, the old department had followed them loyally for many years.

There must always be a good death.

Being a general is not just a matter of prestige, but also a responsibility to entrust.

"Criminal Zhang Xiu, I have met Duke Cao!"

"Okay, Xiu'er! I have heard about your ability to lead the army." Cao Cao looked around, smiled and helped him up, and said loudly: "With Zhang Xiu's help, great things can be accomplished!"

"Don't dare to be guilty!" Zhang Xiu cupped his fists bitterly, stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Please invite Cao Gong to enter the city, I have already hosted a banquet to welcome you."

"Into the city."
