The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 179 Cao Cao: On martial arts and politics, what can you compare to Xi Yu?

Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xiahou Dun, who was taller than him.

He reached out, grabbed the other party's wrist decisively, and brought the other party directly in front of Xia Houyuan and the others.

Immediately, sit cross-legged on the ground.

"Yuan Rang, wonderful talent!"

"You are all brothers of my Cao Cao, this is connected by blood!"

"I thought, you should be able to know what I think in my heart!"

"Since the Yellow Turban raised troops, you will follow me, how can I not understand the friendship between you and me!"

"Cao Mou can come to this step now, which step is not waiting for brothers to work hard to stand on this high position in the court!"

"It's just that your eyesight is limited after all!"

"Fang today, the princes are rising together. Although you are good at fighting, there are countless good fighters in this world!"

Cao Cao's voice paused, and he looked up at Xiahou Dun in front of him.

"Yuan Rang, the reason I treat Xi Yu kindly is because of his talent, talent and strategy, all of them are first class!"

"Being a brother is not to give him up, but to have to!"

"You all have heard of what Fengyi did in that play before, if you dare to ask Yuan Rang, if I put that play away, I will ignore it!"

"How about taking into account the farming affairs of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and ensuring that even in a year of natural disasters, the land of the two states will not be troubled by any disaster?
Or, you deal with those novelty things. "

"It's just that the big man's newspapers and magazines only say, you are in control?"

"What's more, the new policy formulated by Xi Yu, without that Xi Yu, I guarantee that if there is a problem with the new policy, I can easily deal with it!"

Cao Cao's words are sincere, expressing his interests directly.

At this moment, Xiahoudun and the others resentfully remained silent.

There are some things that they really can't handle, although they can also make overall plans for farming.

However, who can guarantee that in such a year of natural disasters, there will be no large-scale disasters between places.

And such a thing can be done by Xi Yu!
Because the water source is insufficient, what kind of waterwheel can the other party make!

Because of the frost disaster, the other party was able to create a refined Shi Nirvana, and all of them are beneficiaries this time.

If some things were really entrusted to them, they would not be able to do it as easily as Xi Yu.

"Yuan Rang, Fang's future is still uncertain, and we still need to look in the long run!"

"Now Yuan Shao in the north is still our great enemy, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south cannot be underestimated!"

"Today's Xuchang can't be chaotic!"

"Cao doesn't want to let you and other brothers be wronged, but now, there is no other way!"

"If Cao can be wronged for you, Cao will voluntarily replace you with someone!"

Cao Cao's words were sincere, and every word pointed directly to the heart of Xiahou Dun and the others.

Under such circumstances, several people opened their mouths but couldn't say anything.

Xia Houyuan was a little moved, and couldn't help bowing to Cao Cao: "It's my fault, I don't know what my brother thinks so!"

Xia Houyuan bowed, and Cao Hong and others followed suit.

Even with Xiahou Dun's kung fu, the tiger's eyes began to sparkle with crystal light.

"Brother, I was wrong!"

……

After a heart-to-heart talk, Cao Cao can be regarded as stabilizing Xiahou Dun and others.

It was not until after several people left that Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as he told Xiahou Dun and others.

The current him cannot do without Xi Yu's assistance.

If there was no Xi Yu, how could the current autumn harvest be so effective.

Like Yuan Shao, this year's autumn harvest, the grain is only comparable to those of the two prefectures.

And all of this was because of Xi Yu.

What's more, Xi Yu's improved papermaking technology and other things have already brought a lot of buffers to Cao Cao's economy.

Now, their situation is better than when they raised the army. I don't know how much better it is.

Back when he had no money to pay his soldiers, he even set up a special team to dig people's ancestral graves, but now, with Xi Yu around, he only had a lot more money.

Cao Cao couldn't help looking out through the window of the main hall.

When will this troubled world be pacified, and how long will it take.

He was unsure.

But he knew that without Xi Yu, it would take him longer, longer time to pacify the world!
The main hall fell silent.

After Xiahoudun and others left, Cao Cao no longer wanted to take a nap.

He was a little dazed, but at this moment, after Xiahou Dun and the others had left for a short time, Xu Chu outside came in and informed him that Cao Ren was coming.

Hearing that Cao Ren was coming, Cao Cao felt helpless.

He thought that Cao Ren was the same as Xiahou Dun and the others, and if he thought about what he said just now, he might have to say it again.

After calling Xu Chu to let Cao Ren come in, Cao Cao sat on the straw mat and waited for Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren came in, the expression on his face was normal.

At this time, Cao Ren saluted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, and Cao Ren sat down opposite Cao Cao slowly.

"What happened to Zixiao?"

Cao Cao opened his mouth to ask, then smiled again: "Could it be like Yuan Rang and others?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren subconsciously shook his head.

He is different from Xiahou Dun and others, Cao Ren is more aware of Xi Yu's ability.

When he was stationed in Xuzhou before, and when Xi Yu delivered the army rations, there was contact between the two.

At that time, Xi Yu often gave him advice on how to deal with Xuzhou's affairs.

And because he has been stationed in Xuzhou for a long time in the past two years, there is no direct conflict or contradiction between him and Xi Yu.

What's more, for some things, Cao Ren followed Cao Cao for a long time, so he could see farther.

"Brother, I am here, not for this matter!"

"I just want to ask my brother, the autumn harvest is coming to an end soon, if I don't know how to arrange for my brother to send troops after the autumn harvest?"

???

Cao Ren opened his mouth, and when he heard that it was about the expedition, Cao Cao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Cao Ren still knows himself better.

I don't want Xiahou Dun and others, sometimes I can't think so much in my mind.

"After this autumn harvest, I intend to go west again. After taking the land of Sili first, I will go north and take Hanoi in one go!"

"So, even though we are bordering on Yuan Shao's territory, we can still keep Xuchang safe!"

If the Hanoi area is captured, Cao Cao will not have to worry about Yuan Shao borrowing the Hanoi area to march towards Xuchang.

In this way, a comprehensive border can also fully guard against the other party.

On the other hand, after taking the Hanoi area, he can concentrate on going westward and completely take down the entire Guanzhong Chang'an.

At that time, the area under his jurisdiction will be able to traverse the east and west.

Whether you choose to fight Yuan Shao in the north first, or go south to deal with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu and others.

For him, it is a good choice.

After saying this, Cao Cao paused again, his eyebrows trembling slightly.

"However, if a war is to start after this autumn harvest, I suspect that the war may not be over for a while."

"If you want to come to this battle, I'm afraid it will be delayed until the end of the year at the earliest."

"Now that the supply battalion has left Cao's army, we need to re-organize the food and grass!"

After the words fell, Cao Ren subconsciously nodded.

He didn't have the slightest opinion on the arrangement of the expedition.

However, his purpose of coming to Cao Cao this time is not limited to this. On the one hand, he has been stationed in Xuzhou for two years.

Now that he was back in Xuchang, he thought in his heart to push this matter out and let Lao Cao change to Xuzhou to garrison.

This time he intends to follow Cao Cao westward.

On the other hand, of course it was Xi Yu's business.

"Brother, I also know about Yuan Rang and the others. Although I understand what is in my brother's heart, some things have been suppressed today, so what if they come up again in the future?"

After all, the conflict has already arisen, and it can be solved for a while, but how to solve it next time.

In the final analysis, the relationship between the Cao clan and Xi Yu was due to the issue of interests.

Now that Cao Cao's power is expanding, it stands to reason that Xiahou Dun and others are also beneficiaries of this.

It was nothing at first, but Xi Yu benefited even more.

After this comparison, the dissatisfaction of Xiahou Dun and others seemed extremely normal.

It's just that what happened today is nothing, but what about the future!

Cao Cao's power will continue to grow little by little after all, and the bigger the cake, the more carefully Cao Cao has to be careful if he wants to divide it.

When the time comes, what should we do?

"What does Zixiao want to say?"

Cao Cao understood. He thought the matter was resolved, but he never thought that Cao Ren was more straightforward than Xiahou Dun and others.

This can be regarded as directly asking him how to deal with it in the future!
Now because of the issue of interests, the conflicts that arise are easy to resolve, but what about later!

Once there are some interests that even Cao Cao himself thinks there are problems, how to deal with them!
"Brother, although I have no objection to Fengyi, I even got advice from him when I was in Xuzhou!"

"But there are some things that cannot be ignored in the final analysis. For brother Fengyi, he is an outsider after all!"

"Now he has been promoted to Taiwei, and he is the same as the elder brother, and what about in the future!"

"Brother, you should be prepared!"

After Cao Ren finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing.

Nowadays, most of the credits that Xi Yu has established are not the military exploits of beheading generals and seizing cities, but those that have greatly benefited the country and the country.

These things are seen by people with discerning eyes.

He hadn't given credit for playing Xi Yu before, because he knew it in his heart.

It was precisely because Cao Cao knew it well that he rushed to lead his troops to the expedition.

Only by winning more regions and establishing more intuitive credits, can Xi Yu's credits be suppressed!
Now, he didn't even open his mouth to ask Xi Yu to follow the expedition.

"I understand what Zixiao said!"

"That's why, in this expedition, we must take down Hanoi and other places!"

"In this way, you can also make meritorious deeds!"

Hearing this, Cao Ren nodded.

Since Cao Cao knew in his heart that there were some things, he didn't need to say anything more.

At this time, he thought of his purpose.

He couldn't help but smiled and said.

"Brother, this time we are marching westward to conquer Sili and other places, I want to send troops with my brother!"

When Cao Ren asked, Cao Cao subconsciously froze for a moment.

"Zixiao, I just remembered, you still have to be stationed in Xuzhou now, since you came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have been delayed for a long time!"

Cao Cao did not answer Cao Ren's words directly, but directly pointed out the responsibility of the other party.

Speaking of which, Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou, which made Cao Cao very relieved.

Cao Ren is a stable guy. With the opponent stationed in Xuzhou, Xuzhou basically doesn't need Cao Cao to worry much.

But right now, this guy wants to go west with him, this kind of thing still makes Cao Cao hesitate.

"Zixiao, with you stationed in Xuzhou, I can lead the army westward with peace of mind for my brother!"

Cao Cao bluntly said that it was because Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou that he could lead his troops to the expedition with confidence.

Although Cao Ren was a little moved by these words, after all, he had been in Xuzhou for more than two years.

Although Cao Cao never forgot him when he made his achievements.

But that's not what Cao Ren wanted.

He is only in his 30s now, and when he is in his prime, sending troops to fight with Cao Cao is what he desires in his heart.

As a general, who wants to be only the general who defends the city!
"Brother, I have a proposal!"

"Didn't Xi Yu take some of the soldiers under Yuan Rang and others away just now?"

"No, my brother asked Yuan Rang to deliver the deal with me, so that Yuan Rang can be stationed in Xuzhou temporarily!"

"This move, on the one hand, will allow Yuan Rang and Xuzhou to supervise the training of new recruits, and on the other hand, it will also allow Yuan Rang and Xi Yu to be farther apart!"

"In this way, the conflict between the two will be reduced!"

Cao Ren chuckled lightly.

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked up at the other party.

To be honest, he was quite moved.

It is indeed not bad to do so, Xiahou Dun is also possible to defend the city.

If the other party is stationed in Xuzhou, he can rest assured.

On the other hand, as Cao Ren said, transferring Xiahou Dun away from Xuchang will also reduce the contact between the other party and Xi Yu.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Okay, Zixiao's words are very kind!"

Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

The next day, an edict came out from the Sikong mansion, ordering Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to hand over to Cao Ren, and Xiahoudun was made the prefect of Xiapi, and let him garrison Xuzhou with Xiahouyuan.

Xiahoudun, who had received the edict, felt a little upset in an instant.

Interact with Cao Ren?
He was already ready to go out with Cao Cao, but now he took over Cao Cao and suddenly asked him to go to Xuzhou to garrison.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lao Cao just had a heart-to-heart talk with him yesterday, he almost thought it was Cao Cao who deliberately transferred him away!
Xiahou Dun was a little upset, but now he also understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

However, now that Xuzhou is handed over to Cao Ren, it must be because of Cao Ren.

That day, Xiahou Dun didn't look for Cao Cao, but went directly to Cao Ren.

Cao Cao didn't pay any attention to this matter.

It's just that Xu Chu told him that when Xiahou Dun left Cao Ren's residence, he held his head high, and Cao Ren seemed to have closed the door to thank the guests.

No one knows what's going on here.

However, this matter is over.

Two days later, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led their soldiers and horses directly from Xuchang to the boundary of Xuzhou.

At the same time, it was learned that Xiahoudun and others had left Xuchang for Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun and the others in the guard camp could not help but look at each other.

Originally, after Hou Dun found Cao Cao in Dezhi Xia, they were somewhat worried.

But I never thought that Xiahou Dun was sent to Xuzhou by Cao Cao in the end, which was quite surprising.

"It seems that that kid Guo Fengxiao is right, Cao Sikong really didn't take this matter to heart!"

Huang Zhong spoke, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei subconsciously nodded upon hearing this.

Now that Xiahou Dun is gone.

Then they don't have to worry about anything.

The [-] recruited soldiers still need to be trained, and it is only a day or two before the start of Xuchang School.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xi Yu knew more or less what happened to Xiahou Dun and the others.

However, he didn't take this matter to heart, as he expected, Cao Cao didn't look for him because of it.

Now, it will be the first day of September soon.

Now the number of scholars in Xuchang has increased a lot, and on Dahan newspapers, Xi Yu deliberately published the news.

It is said that the school recruits students, starting from the age of seven, regardless of family status.

At this time, the entire Dongcheng District hotel outside Xuchang School was full of people.

Not only the children of the major aristocratic families, but also the common people and their own children to watch outside the Xuchang school.

……

While Xi Yu was busy with the recruitment of Xuchang School, he was far away in Wu County, the land of Wu County.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were also paying attention to the Xuchang school.

"The school held by Fengyi will start school in a few days!"

Sun Ce couldn't help frowning when he read the news published in the big man's newspaper.

To be honest, he didn't want to hear news about Xi Yu at all, but this big man's newspaper is really rare.

Every time, it will record some things that happened to the big men today, and there are also some articles contributed by scholars.

For this era of extremely poor entertainment, this thing has now become a must-see thing for Confucian scholars all over the world.

Even Sun Ce is no exception.

He often reads the content on it, and sometimes he can even get some insights from the articles of some scholars.

However, the most published in this newspaper these days is the matter of Xuchang School.

At this time, Sun Ce couldn't help complaining that the report on Xuchang School took up a large section of the newspaper, and even the articles he always wanted to read were a little less.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu beside him couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's eyes fell on the news about the recruitment of students in the newspapers.

"Bo Fu, I've heard you complain about your younger brother a lot lately. I read that there's something about Xuchang School recruiting students in this newspaper."

"No, you send Zhongmou to that school to study!"

Zhou Yu remonstrated, Sun Ce was taken aback when he heard this, and sent his younger brother Sun Quan to Xuchang school?
"Gongjin, what you said is serious. Isn't this quite a hostage for Cao Cao?"

Sun Ce was a little hesitant. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Yu. The expression on the other party's face did not seem to be joking.

Zhou Yu beside him smiled.

"Bo Fu don't need to worry, you and I can leave Xuchang safely, and there is no news so far, it has already proved the character of Xi Fengyi!"

"This time there is a show of righteousness, Zhongmou will be safe!"
