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

Chapter 217 Sun Ce wants to imitate Xi Yu, Cao Cao tests Xiahou Dun

After a long time, Chen Deng blushed, bowed his head deeply, and apologized to Xi Yu: "My lord, I'm sorry!"

"Before, I was too ignorant and too conceited, and I really failed to comprehend your far-reaching and profound strategies!"

"You said that day, Confucianism is the foundation, a hundred flowers bloom, use heavy scriptures in troubled times, and flourish Confucianism!"

"Now, I just understand the deep meaning of this!"

At this moment, Chen Deng couldn't hide his respect for Xi Yu.

"My lord, now we have obtained thirteen very ingenious and feasible strategies, which can be applied in many aspects. Now if there are more soldiers in various places, it will definitely come in overwhelming numbers."

In words, Chen Deng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He was older than Xi Yu, but at the moment he only felt that he was too immature in front of Xi Yu's profound intelligence.

Hearing this, Xi Yu wiped her eyes, and was slightly amazed in her heart: I am so amazing? !

Chen Deng and the others didn't know, and Xi Yu was just trying.

Xi Yu looked at Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang who were in front of him. The expressions of the three of them were full of worship.

Why did these three people look at me like this when I just slept all night.

"Since these thirteen policy theories are evaluated by you, they should be implemented immediately. By the way, the rewards for the students of each policy theory will be handled by you, how about it?"

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were very excited. They already had a premonition in their hearts that these strategies and theories would benefit future generations for at least hundreds of years. To accomplish such an extraordinary thing for Master Xi, the two wished they could fight each other with their lives .

"My lord, don't worry!" Chen Deng bowed deeply and said excitedly.

"I will definitely persuade the Xuzhou gentry to join you under the command of your lord and do your best for your lord. In the near future, Xiapi Ding will have unprecedented prosperity!"

Xi Yu smiled slightly in his heart, but he smiled without saying a word.

After a while, Xi Yu then instructed, "You can make arrangements separately. Now it seems that the strategy implemented before has been successful. If there are still gentry who want to leave Xuzhou in the future, don't stop them, just let them go. "

After waking up, Xi Yu washed his face, which made him feel very comfortable and refreshed.

However, today is a holiday, Xi Yu doesn't want to go out.

Today, the policy of internal affairs has almost been proposed by the students of the school, and Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang have compiled and edited it. Xi Yu only needs the final evaluation and signature.

Xi Yu is very relaxed about internal affairs.

However, from Xi Yu's point of view, Zhuge Liang was far-sighted in matters of internal affairs, while Guo Jia was more inclined to win by surprise. Comparatively speaking, Zhuge Liang was better than Guo Jia.

But the strengths of the two of them just make up for each other's shortcomings, which makes Xi Yu very happy, "Through these two capable people, I will be able to relax a lot..."

……

June day.

The cool wind blowing in Xuzhou city is very refreshing.

The strategy of running the school was accomplished, and the common people cheered to compromise with the gentry, which immediately became the most exciting event in Xiapi City.

In this way, Xi Yu has become more leisurely, almost every day is not fishing or barbecue.

But no matter where Xi Yu went, Dian Wei or Zhao Yun followed closely, and occasionally Zhen Mi and Queen Guo accompanied him.

Gan Mei and Mi Yun spend most of their time in the garden at home, admiring flowers, growing flowers, and pruning vegetation. They only go out unless they buy special supplies.

For some reason, after getting along for a long time, the two fell in love with sisters, as if they had known each other in the previous life, and both of them were fair-skinned, beautiful, gentle and elegant.

Compared with the thin Cai Zhaoji and Queen Guo, Xi Yu really likes to sleep with the two beauties in his arms.

……

Not long after, after hearing about the incident in Xuzhou, more people came here, and among them were many celebrities from Jingzhou.

Among them is the very famous Sima Hui, who also rushed to Xuzhou and built a wooden house on the outskirts of Xiapi City, where he lived near mountains and rivers.

There are also many literati from the land of Xiangyang who also came to Xuzhou and lived in the calf mountain near Xiaopei.

These people have been officials for many years, and they have savings in their families. As long as they cut down on food and clothing, the money and food in their hands are enough to last for several years.

If the money is exhausted, but in the future, you can also cultivate the land to obtain the money and food for survival.

However, after coming to Xuzhou, these celebrities have a new plan, business route.

Some people thought that if the scrolls were compiled into letters, they might be able to exchange money with passing caravans.

Because under the assumption of a student of the business school, how many business routes have been opened from Xuzhou to Xuchang.

Today, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Xuchang, who have been brought to Xuchang by business.

The hermits are very self-deprecating, and now even the money in their hands has been earned by this business.

Nowadays, any occasional policy discussion, or a map, or a talent review can be exchanged for money.

These money exchanges are completely free and unrestricted.

The only difference is that the caravans in Xuzhou have the right to inspect and only buy what they agree with.

As a result, the hermits were very happy and came one after another.

In just a few months, nearly [-] scholars moved to Xuzhou.

Dozens of them belonged to celebrity families.

Xuzhou, which was originally a place of merchants, gradually became a city of literati exchanges. Everywhere in Xuzhou city is more poetic, with many genres, and the wind of literature prospers accordingly.

And among the fields in various parts of Xuzhou, there are also bankers with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the growth is very good.

Nowadays, there is no sense of troubled times in Xuzhou, and more people come here after hearing about it.

……

However, after a long time, such a thriving and prosperous scene will naturally attract the envy and hatred of others.

This person is Qu Asun Ce!

Talents in Qu'e continued to go north, and the city was soon empty, with few talents and books, and the hermits in the mountains gradually disappeared.

Sun Ce was very shocked: If this continues, he will have no scribes to use, and Sun Ce is even more worried. If things go on like this, even the city generals will follow him.

Previously, Sun Ce came to Qu'a from Lujiang River, and then transferred Jiji. Now the East has been stabilized, and Jiujiang and Yuzhang have also been captured.

Now this Jiangdong land is full of peace and harmony.

Sun Ce even violently subdued the local gentry, allowing talented people among these gentry to serve as officials under his command.

However, in less than half a year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu discovered an unavoidable big problem: poor scholars and people of the scholar class!
At first, Sun Ce needed a large number of educated people to serve as officials, but he had only Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others as civil servants.

And this Zhugejin was originally from Langya, Xuzhou, and he had been an official in Soochow for less than half a year, and Sun Ce was about to recruit him.

Apart from these people, Sun Ce has no other talents available.

Moreover, many advisers, as well as ministers of internal affairs, prefects, and county magistrates, all came from local elections and were all from the gentry class.

Sun Ce was very worried that all the talents under his command came from the gentry, so it would be difficult for his Soochow to get rid of the control of the gentry in the future.

His younger brother Sun Quan, now sixteen years old, traveled all over Eastern Wu and worshiped Zhang Zhao as his teacher. He wanted to make friends with learned people, but most of the people he met were useless talents.

Zhou Yu heard about this from the army, and after some investigation, he found out that it was a learned man who had left for Xuzhou.

In Qu'a, in the yamen's office, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had a secret conversation.

"The school-running policy of Xi Yu, the abolition of Confucianism, is really a deviant move. Which prince dares to implement it? But Cao Cao is very supportive, and he even ordered Cao Ang to believe in the green cylinder sword, and Liwei supported Xi Yu's implementation. School policy!"

"Who would have thought that Xi Yu's success in running a school would yield thirteen ingenious strategies that benefit scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce!"

"In this way, all poor people in Xuzhou and even the world are happy, and the common people and scholars are naturally happy to go to the place where Xi Yu is an official."

"That's right, there is already plenty of food and grass in Xuzhou, and the tax is low, but I heard that Xi Yu has been favoring the people and his subordinates. Xi Yu has shown such kindness and power that he broke the monopoly of the gentry in less than half a year!"

"This person is truly terrifying."

Today, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are both unmarried, and their relationship is very close. They go to sleep almost every day, and often talk about their hegemony at night.

Sun Ce suddenly said, "So, I will imitate him immediately, what does Gong Jin think?"

"This is impossible." Zhou Yu said lightly.

He knew very well that Sun Ce just said it casually without thinking it through.

"Nowadays, there are no scholars and people in Qu'a, and there are not many talents that can be molded. Moreover, the matter of running a school must be stabilized before we can make a decision. Otherwise, it is just a private school taught by the master."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, if we simply imitate Xi Yu's strategy at this time, it will definitely attract rebellion in the territory. Such a dangerous move, no matter how many people are killed, it will be difficult to deter..."

Zhou Yu understood very well that the root of the territory of Soochow now is the gentry class!

Once the fundamental interests of these gentry are touched, it will be extremely dangerous, and it is likely to attract the rebellion of the gentry, so that the foundation that has just been laid may be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Sun Ce heard the words and asked, "So, what is Gongjin's clever strategy?"

Zhou Yu said confidently, "At this moment, it's time to march north!"

"It's a great achievement for us to pacify the counties in the east of the Yangtze River. Brother, you can write to the emperor to ask the emperor to make you a great Sima, so that we can rule the land of Jiangdong in a legitimate way."

"If the Son of Heaven refuses, we can use Cao Cao to usurp the name of the Han Dynasty and attack Cao Cao in the north!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce had an epiphany, "Pretend!?"

Today, Xiyu is becoming more and more stable in Xuzhou. If it is allowed to continue to grow and develop, after the autumn harvest, Xuzhou will definitely receive a large amount of military rations, and Xuzhou will become more stable, and even benefit the north of Yangzhou.

In this way, if you want to go north again in the future, the difficulty of winning will be greatly increased.

Furthermore, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has strong soldiers and strong horses, the gentry is united, and there are many strong generals. Sun Ce wants to win Jingzhou, and it is a difficulty.

Although he had animosity with Liu Biao, Sun Ce knew from the bottom of his heart that in the current situation, keeping things going was the best strategic choice for him.

Of course, if there is a good opportunity to seize the land, he will naturally not miss it.

After a while, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, in your opinion, when is the best time to attack?"

"In my opinion, the time is coming..." Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a strong fighting spirit on his handsome face.

"In the north, there must be a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao! By then, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains will be in chaos!"

……

Xuzhou, in front of the gate of Xiapi Academy of Sciences.

Just as Cao Ang was about to enter the school, he was called to the door by Xi Yu. At this moment, the guard Zhang Liao was very surprised and said, "My lord, what are you talking about?"

"Hefei has long been a deserted city, why did you let me..." Zhang Liao was really shocked.

Xi Yu said calmly, "Wen Yuan, I believe you will be able to appease the people of Hefei and rebuild the city. At the same time, I will give you enough money and food to support it."

But Zhang Liao was still very puzzled, and even more grateful, "My lord, how can the clerk gain your trust?"

Although Zhang Liao is an honest man, he is brave and good at fighting. He has a far-sighted vision and is resolute in his actions. This is also an important reason why Xi Yu chose him to rebuild Hefei.

With firm eyes, Xi Yu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, and said with a deep smile, "No one is more suitable than you. I have absolute confidence in you."

"My lord, are you serious?" Zhang Liao still didn't dare to believe Xi Yu's words.

After so many years of marching and fighting, no one has ever praised and trusted him so much, which is really hard for him to believe.

Xi Yu said very affirmatively, "Of course the truth! I believe that as long as you are in Hefei, Sun Ce of Eastern Wu will not dare to invade. In this way, I can attack Lu Bu in Qingzhou with peace of mind..."

"My lord's words...you want to attack..."

"right……"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was shocked, and suddenly his nose became sour, and two lines of tears came out.

"grown ups……"

"Why are you doing this?" Xi Yu really didn't understand why Zhang Liao was crying suddenly.

"My lord's mind, Wenyuan's deep love for Wenyuan, Wenyuan is really grateful, your kindness, Wenyuan will definitely remember it in my heart!"

Zhang Liao said gratefully.

At this time, Cao Ang nodded and said, "I see, uncle, I know your intentions."

This made Xi Yu a little confused, and asked, "What does Ang'er mean by that?"

Cao Ang was very proud immediately, and said with a smile, "Uncle asked General Zhang Liao to rebuild Hefei, and you went to attack Lv Bu in Qingzhou, because General Zhang Liao was Lv Bu's former army. My uncle did this to protect General Zhang from the old general's accusations. "

"Uncle, for the sake of General Zhang, you really worked hard." Cao Ang admired him very much.

Xi Yu glanced at Cao Ang, and thought to himself: I never thought that Cao Ang is really smart.

"Wenyuan, you must guard Hefei for me and stabilize the commercial roads along the canals. In the future, the business of Huaiyang will be more prosperous, and the salt merchants will also develop accordingly."

Hefei is adjacent to Zhang Baling in the east, the mountains of western Anhui in the west, the Yangtze River in the south, and the Huaihe River in the north. It has unique geographical advantages and is absolutely a place for commercial development. It is especially suitable for digging a Grand Canal.

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Zhang Liao nodded solemnly, "The general understands! Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely stabilize Hefei, and no thieves can even take a step forward!"

In addition to being moved in his heart, Zhang Liao was even more excited. In order to repay Xi Yu's trust, he was willing to fight to the death and do his best to develop Hefei.

Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao received a letter from Sun Ce in Jiangdong. In the letter, Sun Ce said that he had made great contributions in exterminating his false younger brother Yuan Hao, and hoped that the emperor would reward him with the official position of Da Sima.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to call Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao and others. Now Cheng Yu also has meritorious service and is qualified to advise Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said to the crowd, "Let's see, everyone, this Sun Ce wrote to the emperor asking for the position of chief minister. If I agree to this on behalf of the emperor, then Sun Ce will have even more prestige in Jiangdong in the future, and he will become an even more terrifying person. "

"But if I don't agree to this matter, what will happen to Sun Ce?"

Xun Yu thought for a moment, and then said, "If my lord refuses to agree to this matter, I'm afraid Sun Ce will have the intention of going to war."

"Feng Yi has just been Xuzhou pastor for less than half a year, and Sun Ce may invade Xuzhou and the north of Yangzhou."

"The land of Yangzhou is now facing the north, and Fengyi town is south. If the north is threatened by Sun Ce, Yuan Shao can restrain Hefei."

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Wen Ruo's words are very reasonable. Now Fengyi's school in Xuzhou has achieved initial results, but such a great achievement for thousands of years cannot be achieved in decades."

However, these days, the situation of all parties is stable and life is very good. Cao Cao has a lot of wealth. Cao Cao suddenly said, "Hehe, I have a clever plan to deal with it."

After all, Cao Cao came to the sand table. Above the sand table was the map that Xi Yu had collected before. From the top, he could roughly see the entire territory of Yangzhou, including the southern border.

In order to accomplish this, Xi Yu specially ordered Huang Zhong to lead Baiqi to infiltrate the southern border of Yangzhou, around the Lujiang River, that is, Huang Zhong quietly sneaked into the southern border of Yangzhou. It took three months to collect this map.

It can be seen from the many fragmented areas that there are many waterways in the southern border of Yangzhou.

Cao Cao called Xiahou Dun and asked, "Yuan Rang, if you are asked to take charge of the deployment, how will you arrange it?"

After Cao Ren led the troops to Dongjun, Xiahou Dun became the clan general beside Cao Cao.

Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, Cao Cao will deliberately investigate Xiahou Dun, and let him learn to use his brain to think about the use of troops.

Xiahou Dun stepped forward, glanced at the map, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "This map is very detailed, I don't know where the Lord came from?"

"If there are more copies of this detailed map, we will be invincible in battle!"

Cao Cao smiled lightly, "This picture was made by Fengyi's Design Institute."

Hearing that it was Xi Yu who did it, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: Why is it Xi Yu again...

Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun, and asked, "Why, Yuan Rang, what displeases you?"

"Hehe, there is nothing unpleasant." Xiahou Dun said with a quick smile, "It's just that the maps of these places seem to be incomplete. It would be even better if they could all be exported."

Cao Cao immediately gave Xiahou Dun a blank look, "Hehe, you think Fengyi's subordinates are all magic soldiers?"

"Do you know that Fengyi spent dozens of days to obtain this map. It is not easy to have such a workmanship. You still think it is not complete and imagine mass production?"

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed displeased, Xiahou Dun quickly said, "Understood, I understand, I'll just take a look..."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun looked at the map carefully, and then said, "My lord, look here. If you deploy defenses here, you can defend Lujiang and other places."

"Look, this place is also very close to Shouchun. It is close to Xuzhou and Xiaopei. You can go down to the Lujiang River and stay in Shouchun if you retreat. If you can dig this big river, you can also store a lot of water here. military!"

When Cao Cao heard Xiahoudun's strategy, he narrowed his eyes and was quite satisfied. He looked at the group of counselors with his hands behind his back, and asked, "What do you think about Yuan Rang's defense?"
