Xiaoguangong

Chapter 112
Cao Zhi waited until midnight before Guan Ping came to the door and told Cao Zhi everything about Huo Jun's visit.

He said that Huo Jun is a warrior under Cai Mao's command, and he will work under his command in the future to strengthen the advantage of water warfare.Moreover, Huo Jun had a relationship with Zhuge Liang before, so now he can cross the river and talk to them more, trying to make Zhuge Liang change his mind.

Cao Zhi had never heard of Huo Jun's name, so he didn't take him seriously because of his honest appearance.

However, when he heard that Huo Jun was sent by Cai Mao, Cao Zhi still had some expectations in his heart—Cai Mao was Zhuge Liang's wife's uncle after all, and it was thanks to Cai Mao that Zhuge Liang was quite famous in Jingzhou.

If Cai Mao is willing to come forward to deal with it, maybe there is still a chance.

"Cough, Brother Huo, no, where is Mr. Huo?"

"Stay in my camp."

"Take me to him quickly!"

Cao Zhi imitated Cao Cao's famous scene back then, and ran towards Guan Ping's camp without even wearing shoes.

But Cao Cao went out barefoot back then, and Guan Ping’s camp was three miles away from the house where Cao Zhi stayed. Turn around to see Huo Jun.

Sima Fu could barely hold on at first, but now he couldn't hold on any longer. He glanced at Guan Ping, who was also full of shock, and said softly:
"General Yun, do you dare to ask if there is still a shortage of servants under General Yun's account?"

"Huh?" Guan Ping was taken aback, "Mr. Sima..."

"That's right," Sima Fu said shyly, "I was supported by the young master to be a literary director, but firstly, I had frequent disagreements with Ding Yi, and secondly... secondly, because I'm not very knowledgeable, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to take on the heavy responsibility.

I think General Yun has just taken over Jiangxia, and the people don’t agree with him. There are always people who want to help the general with civil affairs, taxation, and corvee affairs. Some people are similar to the text, and "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu" are also very clear.

If General Yun still lacks someone to serve, I am willing to be conscripted by the general and guard the southern country with the general. "

Sima Yi, Brother Sima Fu and Cao Cao, Cao Zhi and his son worked as literary writers. This job is just a job, which is to recruit a group of people who are proficient in Confucian classics to get together to brag, and help the master write something by the way.

Sima Fu had been conscientious and conscientious before, but he always felt that Cao Zhi was talented in literature and must have the ability to help the society, so he was a suitable successor to Cao Cao.

But these days, he feels more and more that Cao Zhi is frivolous and undisciplined. This genius scribe has been acting rashly for a long time. He has been swallowed up by the strong ideal characters in his poems that transcend reality. He is definitely not a wise person who can rectify the world. Be with him It's always bad to hang around for a long time.

Before, Sima Yi kept introducing Sima Fu to turn around and work under Cao Pi's family, but Sima Fu felt that the two brothers would fight each other sooner or later, and it might end like the two Yuans. Whether he could win by working under Cao Pi The two said that it is mainly to damage one's own reputation.

It would be easy to talk about a warrior like Yunshan.

Cao Cao was promoted to the prefect of Yunshan because he was in a hurry and went to the doctor. He has soldiers and generals under his command but lacks a mastermind, and lacks people like Zhuge Liang who sit in the rear and adjust taxes. Sima Fu asked himself that he could do such a small thing.

Staying under Yunshan for a few years, accumulating some reputation, gaining some military merits, making good friends with Le Jin, Xu Huang and others, taking advantage of the heavy losses suffered by the Yingchuan family this time, the Sima family may have a chance to emerge and replace the Yingchuan family up.

Guan Ping has been bullied by Sima Fu.

He didn't know for a while whether this was something Cao Zhi had discussed with Sima Fu before, and now he was about to set him up.

But seeing Cao Zhi's back limping and struggling forward, Guan Ping still vetoed this guess.

Forget it, let him have no such calculation.

He grabbed Sima Fu's palm and shook it vigorously, and said with emotion:
"If you get Shu Da, you will be like a fish in water. In the future, you will definitely obey Shu Da's orders."

Sure enough.

Now Sima Fu is even more sure that Guan Ping's previous roughness and madness were all faked. He kept nodding his head, already secretly thinking about how to ask his elder brother and second brother to help him move around and run away from Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi didn't realize that his literary master was ready to run away. He had been thinking hard all the way about the posture of a superior person making friends with a reckless hero. Become an important force to check and balance Yunshan.

The means...

Well, how about writing him a poem?
Huo Jun has already sent his cronies to take away Liu Bei's two daughters in the name of going to Xiakou for negotiations under the banner of Yunshan. When he heard that Cao Zhi wanted to see him, he hurried forward with a group of guards, very courteous. He bowed down and saluted Cao Zhi, calling him son, and slowly stood up after Cao Zhi helped him.

This made Cao Zhi elated, and tears were about to flow out.

After arriving in Shiyang, he has been living in fear of being dominated by Yunshan. Although Huo Jun looks modest and honest, he is extremely strong, and his soldiers are all burly, if he wins over these people, Yunshan will not accept it. Two scattered.

Cao Zhi thought viciously in his heart, but the expression on his face was exceptionally cheerful. He grabbed Huo Jun's palm and said excitedly:
"Brother Huo has worked hard from afar, I heard that you fought hard to defeat Guan Ping, and I am very excited.

I don't know what is missing from the strong men coming from afar, I will try my best to raise money for you! "

Cao Zhi, who was just 17 years old, still doesn't know what is sinister in the world, and he doesn't know that in this world, not everyone can be bought by relying on some property and the handover of superiors.

He almost wrote the words "divorce" on his face, like a young girl with a floating heart, thinking that he would be able to get all the sincerity of the suitor for him by pouring out his heart.

Huo Jun is an idealist, but also a real person.

From the moment he beat Cao Hong, he was determined not to look back, and he would follow Ding Liu Bei to fight the world and dedicate his life to the cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

Cao Zhi said to give him something, but he subconsciously didn't want it. It can be seen that Guan Ping was standing behind Cao Zhi winking, and he simply took a breath:
"I want five thousand stones of rice, one hundred warships of all sizes, and one hundred iron armors."

Huo Jun's men counted at 500, which was clearly the lion's big mouth, politely rejecting Cao Zhi's enthusiasm.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi slapped his thigh excitedly, and laughed out loud:

"Okay, okay, okay, a strong man deserves this! I'll let General Le and General Xu send food."

Huo Jun: ...

Guan Ping: ...

Sima Fu: ...

Guan Ping, who was not well educated, didn't know how to describe Cao Zhi's boldness. It was not until many years later that he heard from Yun Shanshan that a famous general used a classic saying to describe his prodigal companions, "It doesn't hurt to sell your father's land".

The [-] stones of food and grass are fine, but now Le Jin and Xu Huang only have at most a hundred warships in their hands. Huo Jun, a lion, opened his mouth. If it were a normal person, Huo Jun would definitely be sprayed to death.

But Cao Zhi is now in a state of emergency and rushing to the doctor. Isn't it the story of the sages who bought horse bones with thousands of dollars to attract everyone to seek refuge?Even if Huo Jun's reputation is not obvious, he is a horse bone.As long as I get married with this person, Guan Ping will no longer threaten me, and my father will definitely praise my ability.

Guan Ping, Sima Fu, and Huo Jun were really stunned by Cao Zhi's strong second-year temperament-Guan Ping was still thinking about how to continue to cheat Le Jin for food.

After all, he was embarrassed to ask for food if there was no war.

But now that this problem has been solved, Cao Zhi actually took the initiative to send food to Huo Jun!

"No way!" Guan Ping immediately waved his hands vigorously, pretending to be shocked, "Our army has thousands of men, but we have never had a hundred armors, and Zhong Miao has only 500 people, how can we carry more than a hundred armors?

Hundreds of ships are even more absurd. Do you want three or five people to drive a ship to fight against the thieves? "

Seeing Guan Ping's angry eyes wide open, with a rather terrified look, Cao Zhi finally felt elated, and all the unhappiness accumulated for many days disappeared.

"General Yun, what are you talking about? General Yun doesn't care about the strength of the troops, why don't you let someone be considerate? In the future, Huo Zhuangshi will be guarding by someone's side, and I will manage all the armor, food, and warships." He said coldly He gave Guan Ping a serious look, "At first, I wanted to give General Yun some armor and equipment, but since General Yun doesn't want it, then let's go."

Guan Ping couldn't help laughing out loud, and hurriedly pretended to be stupefied, and laughed loudly:
"Okay, okay, okay, if this is the case, young master, I will present it to Prime Minister Cao, and I ask the prime minister to make a decision!"

Huo Jun really didn't want to accept Cao Zhi's kindness, so he hurriedly said after hearing about it:
"My lord, the young general is under the command of General Zhennan. General Zhennan ordered me to go under the command of General Yun to attack Guan Yu. If the general knows that I was serving as the son's guard and never fought in battle, I'm afraid that Cai Zhennan's law is strict and he will be severely punished in the future!"

"Uh……"

To be honest, Cao Zhi was really afraid of Cai Mao.

He hesitated for a moment, his clever mind was running wildly, and soon a confident smile appeared on his face.

"It's not a problem—before I left, my father was quite worried about Jiangling.

I heard that two uncles, Zixiao and Zilian, were trapped in Jiangling, how could I sit idly by?
I heard that General Yun was a warrior who dared to fight Guan Yu, so he dared to lead his troops to fight and open up the Jiangling waterway? "

Fighting Guan Ping with other people may have to be considered.

But the opponent is Guan Yu...

"Why don't you dare?" Guan Ping said with a sinister smile, "It's up to you whether you dare or not!"

"Of course I dare!"

Cao Zhi had been suppressed by Guan Ping since he came to Shiyang, and now all the resentment in his heart was released, and even the blue veins on his forehead were exposed one by one.

"Even though Guan Yu has courage, he is alone, so why should I be afraid!"

Sima Fu was stunned for a long time, then he suddenly lifted his spirits:
"Young master is right. A certain person is willing to go to Xiangyang to supervise the military supplies and warships, and help you kill thieves!"

Sima Fu could tell at a glance that Guan Ping and Huo Jun had a good friendship, and it was Cao Zhi who could split up with just a few words.

He had made it clear before that he would be effective in supervising the military rations. Guan Ping would be satisfied and Cao Zhi's vanity would be satisfied. Le Jin's men were intercepted and killed by Guan Yu before, so their morale must be low now, and he wished someone could help him fight.

Win, everyone wins.

As for the only loser...

Jiang Ling should be able to hold on for a while, right?

If it doesn't work, I will suffer General Cao again. Anyway, Mr. Cao will bear the infamy.
