Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 95 The Edge of the Blade

Someone once said that the greater a person's ability, the greater the responsibility!For Wang Hou, the more capable he is, the more time he has to work!

This time Cao Cao let him take the lead. After being in charge of the army's logistics, he obviously liked him a lot. After returning to Xudu, he took a rest for a day. Early the next morning, he planned to go up the mountain to inspect the pig farm and raise more pigs. When there are some live pigs, when the salt is cheap this year, we can get more bacon to make money, etc. At this time, Guo Jia galloped to his manor outside the city on horseback, and pulled his sleeves out.

"What are you doing?"

"Why? Go to the court to discuss matters! You didn't go yesterday, if you don't go today, the prime minister will send a court officer to arrest you!"

"Let's go!!!"

Before Wang Hou could figure it out, Guo Jia had pushed him into the carriage, and even drove the carriage himself, waving the whip in front of him. Papapapa, Feiyang galloped on the snow-covered Xuchang official road.

It was still a step too late, when most of the officials arrived, they were caught by Cao Cao, watching Guo Jia dragging Wang Hou to squeeze in through the entrance of the lobby with his head bowed, he yelled with a dark face.

"Wang Tuqiu! Yesterday's court meeting, why didn't you come? Could it be that a little meritorious service makes you feel that you can become domineering?"

"Prime Minister, I'm a four-hundred-year-old Shicang Cao. I'm not a regular official, and I'm not allowed to participate in political discussions unless I'm in a great court! If the prime minister is really angry, I'll cut off my merits, and I'll take my credit for my crime! My meritorious service! The official has no complaints!"

Bending his waist and nodding his head, Wang Hou, with his sad appearance, deliberately turned his head, which was broken by a crazy girl, and was still wrapped in white cloth, towards Cao Cao. Looking at him like this, Cao Cao couldn't help being speechless. Others have sharpened their brains and squeezed into his prime minister's government, this guy is good, he doesn't want to make progress!Seriously do not seek to make progress! ! !
But when it comes to this, Guo Jia is blinking his head behind Wang Hou. This guy is already lazy enough. This will hurt his work. Let him get a small warehouse, and he will have more excuses. Being lazy, Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with helpless beard trembling.

However, this is Cao Cao, who is thirsty for talents. If it were any other princes and emperors, he would have thrown Wang Hou aside, and suddenly stood up on his seat.

"It's the truth that got angry for no reason! In the battle of Xiapi, Wang Tu asked for a way to communicate with food, so that the army would not suffer from cold and hunger. The merit of fighting with all his strength, especially the return of the cannon, was the most important thing in defeating the pirates in Xiapi. Strength! Because of merit, special promotion..."

But at this point, Cao Cao hesitated for a while, and then continued to appoint: "Tuqiu, the special Jin king, is the chief secretary of agriculture! Rank is more than a thousand stones, do you have any objections?"

Wang Hou's loot was divided fairly, and he didn't get anything in the end. Of course, Cao Cao's lieutenant and general had no objections. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang who followed came to watch the fun, and they had to hold back their opinions, but they were available at any time. Crow's mouth, at this juncture, Yang Xiu stood up with a face full of contempt, and clasped his fists heavily.

"Prime Minister, Wang Tu courting a mate, this person is expelled from his nationality! An unorthodox scholar, promoted to a high position, won't he bring a bad limelight to the scholars of the world?"

It is estimated that Cao Cao hated him, the Hongnong Yang family, so much, but although he was the prime minister, he was also from a noble family, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Who is not young and frivolous. Back then, the truth was that he was a hero in the village, and he was a disaster. Now that he thinks about it, he regrets it. Fortunately, the elders of the clan released him. Now he is also loyal to the court?"

"So, now Wang Tu seeks to reform his mistakes, Wang Guanggong, can he put it back on the gate wall?"

Hearing this, Changshui Xiaowei Wang Zifu's face was quite ugly, but Cao Cao didn't ask him, and he asked Wang Guang, another elder of the Taiyuan Wang family who was more mature, and he couldn't help it.

But who knew that before Wang Guang could respond, Wang Hou had already bowed down first.

"Prime Minister, this branch of the Jingyuan Hall of the Wang Family in Taiyuan moved my father and my ancestors to worship in the temple. How can Wang Hou return to the ancestors to worship the temple without ancestors? It is not the work of a filial son! Home, the next official dares to beg the prime minister for mercy! I beg the prime minister for mercy!"

Kneeling down on the ground sadly, Wang Hou's heart was splashed with blood. To be honest, he really didn't know how the Wang Hou and Taiyuan Wangs were bullied before he crossed over, and he really didn't know what kind of grievances they had, but now He knew that there was such a rebellion case hanging over his head like a time bomb. Once it broke out, God knew that the Cao Cao Yi clan would include the Wang family!So regardless of the king, he is not willing to join!

However, this unspeakable secret really made Cao Cao and Du Zhiling Wang Guang a little bit embarrassed, so anxious that Guo Jia even kicked him behind the back.

Fortunately, compared to the prince's clothes, Wang Guang is definitely an old fritters. Although he was insulted, he suddenly smiled and said after only a moment of embarrassment.

"Prime Minister, it is true that the Jingyuan Hall of Wang's family has some disadvantages. Although Wang Hou did not return to the gate wall, it is also in line with the act of filial piety. In addition, in this expedition, Wang Lingguan presided over the ceremony, and he did not take any money. All the generals were convinced. It is a model of incorruptibility, and the Wang family of Taiyuan is willing to make him a filial and incorruptible patriarch, and I hope the prime minister will agree!"

It can be regarded as a step down, Cao Cao shouted and asked again.

"Do you have any objections?"

Wang Guang has been slapped in the face, and offered a filial piety quota, Yang Xiu has a foreign surname, what other names are there to join in?He could only shrink back resentfully.

But at this time, he also had a sneer on his lips. Wang Hou's move obviously embarrassed Cao Cao, and the relationship between him and Cao Cao took a step further. So what if he became the Chief Secretary of Agriculture?He can't sit still!

Indeed, after this turmoil, Cao Cao didn't look at Wang Hou again during the entire court meeting to discuss politics, and asked him a question.

Moreover, there was another relatively big problem at the court meeting this time. No wonder Guo Jia wanted to carry him to the court. Just as Cao Jun withdrew at this end, Xuzhou at the other end changed again. Only then did he feel anxious, but at this moment, Yuan Shu was unpopular and his power in Yangzhou was on the verge of collapse. An insider came to report that Yuan Shu wanted to go north to Qingzhou to join Yuan Shao.

The combination of the two Yuans is naturally not what Cao Cao wants to see, but in February this year, Yuan Shaojun officially crossed the Yellow River, led by General Yan Liang from Hebei, and was already approaching Baima City on the south bank of the Yellow River. It was only the second day after he came back that he easily launched an expedition, and he recruited a group of ministers to discuss matters.

Here is another hero, Liu Bei.

When he came out of the court, he clasped his fists and begged for righteous words. Yuan Shu was a traitor and a traitor, and he became emperor. He was willing to lead his troops to Xuzhou to crusade against Yuan Shu.

This is to let him out, but it is called an idiom, let the tiger go back to the mountain!However, there is such a commotion today, the relationship between him and Cao Cao is tense, and Wang Hou has no way to stop it. Besides, if Liu Bei, an external department, is not allowed to go, who will let him go at this time?Huddled in the courtroom, Wang Hou could only watch in frustration as the situation pushed towards the side he didn't want to see.

A court meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely dull, and it was almost two or three o'clock in the afternoon before the court ended.

But after the court was over, Wang Hou did not leave the prime minister's mansion.

At the gate of the back house, he was bending over sadly and holding his fists, but at the other end, a little girl was holding her head up high, and she didn't give him a little bit of face for this newly promoted senior official.

"Our young lady said that Wang Lingguan is already a married person, so it would be inappropriate to find her as an unmarried woman. It's not good for her reputation. I hope the Lingguan will please come back!"

"Forehead……"

Because of Lu Ji's matter, until now, Cao Hongjie is still playing petty temper with him!They came back in the same carriage, but as soon as they arrived in Xudu, she moved back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wang Hou was dumbfounded when he saw that the maid gave her the back of his head, but Guo Jia, who was following behind him, was overjoyed Humming.

"Now I know I'm in a hurry! Want to ask Ms. Cao to make peace? She won't talk to you anymore! Tuqiu, if I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place!"

"I want to tell you, the most important thing you should do is to go to Old Wang Guang immediately and kowtow to plead guilty with a gift. Only when you lower your face can the prime minister's face rise. He only employs people who know the general situation. Hurry up." Go and go!"

"Don't forget to drink for brother when you're done!"

However, what made Guo Jia vomit blood was that Wang Hou was really as determined as Wang Ba. He looked at the prime minister's mansion in distress for a moment, and suddenly he took out a kit from his arms and stuffed it into it. Guo Jia.

"Brother Feng Xiao, I beg you on the road. If something happens to me recently, please pass this kit to Hongjie!"

"Are you still here to save face and suffer?"

He shook his head helplessly angrily, but seeing Wang Hou still bowing deeply, Guo Jia had no choice but to take the kit again.

"Forget it, you, just sit on the bench! Guo Mou doesn't care about you, Guo Mou goes drinking!"

Good guy, this Guo Fengxiao was so angry again, the two of them came here, and when they came out, they were left alone. Sitting in the carriage, Wang Hou shook his head helplessly.

Outside the carriage, Zhao Yun's voice came in again with a smile.

"Congratulations, master, for being promoted. It won't be long before Zilong will rise with the tide. Congratulations!"

"Promoted? Don't put your life on the line and you're praying to God! You come in!"

"My lord, why did you say something inauspicious?"

Surprised, Zhao Yun got off his horse and got into the carriage in astonishment. However, within a short while, his complexion became serious, and he hurriedly got out of the carriage, led two cavalrymen, and left the convoy on horseback.

After sending him away, Wang Hou opened the curtain again, and gave orders to another general, Wang Congge, in a hurry.

"You sent someone to Taixuan Merchandising, and you said that because of the salt matter, I want to talk to their shopkeeper!"
