Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 254 Following the right person is like growing gold!
Luoyang City, Shangshutai.

When Wang Yun stepped into the room, he was filled with emotion when he saw the not-so-rich, but powerful Shangshutai.

It is not easy to enter Shangshutai!

These years, because he was born in a wealthy Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Yun promoted Xiaolian to be an official when he was very young. It can be regarded as an alternate official of Shang Shuling.

Thinking about this road, it is not easy.

It made him feel very grateful...

But never thought...

It was only the first day of taking office, and Cao Cao, the cavalry captain of the Northern Expedition Army, rushed in.

Cao Cao pointed at Wang Yun, "Why have the pensions and military salaries of the officers and soldiers delegated by the imperial court been halved? Why should they be halved?"

"All the soldiers threw their heads and blood, regardless of their lives, to fight on the battlefield. Now that the war is won, you want to halve the salaries they depend on for survival? Is this reasonable?"

Wang Yun, who was [-] years old, had two large blisters on his lower eyelids.

He only found out about it yesterday...

I also thought of it, this matter will cause a series of consequences, and someone will inevitably provoke trouble!
But what I never expected is... the whole Shangshutai, the only person who can handle this matter...is he the only one left?

The original Shangshu Ling was Zhang Rang.

Because...the extension of the private house was punished by His Majesty, so naturally he can no longer be in charge of the Shangshutai.

Under the order of the Minister, the servants, the servants of the Huangmen, the servants of the Zhongchang... have no right to record the affairs of the minister.

For a while, this big problem... only he, Wang Yun, can handle it.

"Alas..." Wang Yun sighed.

In fact, just now, he had already memorized the manuscript, but he didn't expect... it was the well-off Cao Cao who came to make trouble.

He was not in a hurry, and only waited for Cao Cao to vent his anger, then stepped forward and gently pressed his arm, and said helplessly, "Captain Cao, you should know that this is the order of the superiors, and there is nothing we can do about it."

just like…

Cao Cao also got the wind, and asked angrily: "Then please tell the superiors, the soldiers can't save money for their lives! There is no money to pay and pension? How can you make money by making Tianlu toad?"

Cao Cao didn't know where he got the news about Shi Changshi persuading the emperor to cast bronze figures and Tianlu toads.

Of course... What Cao Cao didn't know was that the emperor didn't agree to Zhang Rang.

Wang Yun pretended to lower his voice, looked around, and approached Cao Cao: "Stop talking, do you think I don't want to send this money to the soldiers? I also participated in counter-rebellion, and I know how hard the soldiers are! Don't look at it." Zhang Changshi is no longer at Shangshutai, but... oh...you know, how many processes are involved in a sum of money to be distributed from the imperial treasury, how many people are in the hands, and how many of these people are controlled by eunuchs? It's not easy to go halfway down, if you fight for it...if you offend the middle officer, they have a hundred ways to defraud, and then..."

Wang Yun didn't finish his speech, but the stakes were clearly stated.

This…

Cao Cao stared at Wang Yun's face, and Wang Yun nodded firmly.

this time...

Cao Cao found out.

Once... the third brother Liu Yu mentioned that the corruption of the big man... is not something that can be controlled by a certain person, it is intertwined... the intertwining in the middle affects the whole body.

This is a sick fact!

The so-called too much...

Cao Cao was very scared. If this matter continues to be pursued...

I'm afraid that the soldiers don't even have half of the pension.

"I see…"

Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

He found…

His temperament has completely changed. If it was earlier, he would have dealt with this matter more "fearlessly". A few years ago, he was able to forge five-color sticks to beat the powerful, but now?

Because he met Liu Yu, he completely changed...

This change in character made Cao Cao himself unable to adapt.

Walk out of the Shangshutai.

The soldiers in the family mansion quickly surrounded him and hurriedly asked for the result.

But Cao Cao lowered his head...

This appearance has undoubtedly been told to everyone... the result is not optimistic.

"Let's go to the General's Mansion and ask the General for an explanation!"

"That's right... General Huangfu will definitely be the master for us!"

"Walk…"

As they spoke, everyone rushed to transfer to the General's Mansion.

Cao Cao pressed his hands to the crowd, and everyone fell silent. "Give me some time, it should be one of your eldest sons!"

In fact, he has already decided to take out his salary and rewards and distribute them to the soldiers under his command, and he will not take any money...

Of course, the money is not enough...

Cao Cao intends... to use the old method to "borrow" from his father Cao Song. Anyway, he has already "borrowed" a lot, and it's not bad...

But Cao Cao was too naive...

This is not a question of three melons and two jujubes. Cao Cao's logistics army has a total of more than 2000 people. Although only the dead and seriously injured soldiers have pensions, they can be assembled... This is not a small number.

When Cao Song heard Cao Cao's request, his eyes stared straight.

I was counting on my son to be successful, and I received a reward... Finally, I was able to bring back some money for the head of the family. God has eyes to see the money back.

But before the joy lasted long, Cao Song felt like crying.

In his opinion…

Cao Cao's disposition...it makes the Cao family's vitality like an hourglass, it is experiencing long-term wear and tear, and I don't know how long it can last!
Cao Song didn't want to show the patience that only his mother had, so he scolded Cao Cao and stomped his feet.

"I can't live this life! I have raised your whole family for more than 20 years, do you want me to support you until old age!"

Cao Cao knelt down and nodded, "Father, my son is very ashamed... But the soldiers need this money, especially those who were killed and disabled. Their families are counting on this money!"

Cao Song pointed at Cao Cao's face with trembling hands, touching his nose several times with his fingertips: "You are generous, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Cao Cao didn't take it seriously: "What are the consequences? Is it wrong for me to give money for nothing?"

Ha ha…

Cao Song said "hehe".

He smiled and smiled wryly... Calculated, it must be hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?
It's true that he is in charge of the national treasury... but what's the matter... Cao Song has to secretly steal the treasury from the treasury...donate it to them?

His name is "Cao Song", not "Cornucopia"!

This Cao Cao...

It's already so big, why... still... still living in a dream?

"Alas..." With a long sigh, Cao Song lowered his head...and left with a flick of his sleeves.

At this time, Ding Hui, Cao Cao's wife, came over and said, "A man, when you cast a five-color stick to beat Jian Shuo's uncle, your father paid 20 yuan to settle it for you, plus the money from Dunqiu County. There are millions of dollars that can never be returned... You know... my father sold all the ancestral fields in Qiao County! Ah man... you are almost thirty, you should leave some for your father..."

Cao Cao just remembered...

Suddenly startled.

He seems to have spent a lot of money on the family.

But... it's too late to regret now...

He has already promised all the brothers that even if the Cao family's house in Luoyang City is sold again, he will have to scrape together this sum of money.

the next day...

Cao Cao opened the treasury of the Cao family privately, and made up for the pensions of his brothers on the street...

Because it is really not enough, the difference in military pay cannot be made up anyway.

But even so...

Cao Cao's act of donating money... almost caused a sensation in Luoyang.

And this is like an earthquake, and the mountain roar and tsunami are still behind.

but...

Cao Cao's act of donating money in the street made Huangfu Song look sideways.

"What is he doing?" Huangfu Song asked in surprise...

Huangfu Jianshou replied: "It seems... that the pensions issued by the imperial court have been exploited layer by layer, and only half is left in the hands of the soldiers!"

Huangfu Jianshou was extremely cautious when he said this...

He was afraid that his father would question Shang Shutai like Cao Cao, and even question the court...but...to his surprise, his father was not angry...nor did he show much excitement.

"Scatter the family wealth and make up for the pensions owed by the court... Sure enough... this Cao Cao understands people's hearts better!"

Thinking of this...

Huangfu Song waved his hand, "Let's go!"

"Isn't father going to see that Cao Cao?" Huangfu Jianshou asked back.

"Yes, let's go now!" Huangfusong's eyes were determined.

...

...

"Da Honglu? His Majesty granted me the title of Da Honglu?"

When Liu Yu arrived in Zhuojun, Youzhou, the emperor's urgent edict had already been sent.

And when she heard the words in the imperial edict, Liu Yu was granted the title of Da Honglu, Liu Yu was stunned...

This happiness came too suddenly, right?
He has jumped from a "Wuhuan Zhonglang General" with a salary of 1000 and [-] shi to a "Da Honglu" with a salary of [-] shi and one of the nine ministers. The speed of flying is not so fast, is it?

"Liu Dahonghe... This Dahonghe is in charge of the affairs of the prefecture and the nation, but the conquest of Wuhuan is also considered as a matter of the nation. Your Majesty has high hopes for you!"

Xiao Huangmen had a smile on his face.

The ten permanent attendants have repeatedly issued orders to these little Huangmen, and must be more polite to Liu Yu... The lessons learned from the Yuan family in Runan, the eunuchs cannot commit crimes, even if they cannot become allies with Liu Yu, at least they cannot become enemies.

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

Liu Yu cupped her hands and accepted the imperial edict...

The eyes of Zhang Yan on the side are straight... He has a feeling that he is planting the land to grow gold, this is so meow... he is following the right person.

certainly…

Zhang Yan didn't know that Liu Yu was able to get this high position, he and the 30 Montenegrin soldiers contributed greatly.

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Liu Yu noticed Zhang Yan's expression that was more excited than him, and knew what he was thinking. Liu Yu asked Xiao Huangmen, "Your Majesty, can you decide how to arrange the 30 Black Mountain soldiers?"

"Your Majesty has assigned chief minister Cao Song and servant Xun Yu to be fully responsible for this matter." Xiao Huangmen said truthfully: "Now, servant Xun has rushed to Taihang Mountain to find out how many strong men, women, children, old and young there are..."

Speaking of this... Xiao Huangmen paused for a moment, and lowered his voice... "I heard that Xun Shizhong relayed Liu Dahonglu's words to His Majesty, and His Majesty planned to give the unowned wasteland of Jizhou to the families of the Black Mountain Army. Then...the strong and strong men of the Black Mountain Army will be formed into a strong army...the families will farm, and the strong and strong men will fight...they will complement each other, and His Majesty is overjoyed upon hearing this!"

Xiao Huangmen said it with joy...

Liu Yu didn't make a statement, but turned to Zhang Yan.

"Really? Really?"

The sudden loud voice startled Xiao Huangmen, and he looked at the rough man with some contempt, "Your Majesty said it himself, can there be any lies in the decree that he gave himself?"

this time...

Zhang Yan was as crazy as he picked up the little yellow door and turned it around three times...

How can this little yellow gate stand this...

He kept shouting, "Liu Dahonglu help... Liu Dahonglu help!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Yu kept laughing... "Let him transfer for a while, as soon as he is happy..."

It wasn't until three more circles that Zhang Yan put down the little yellow gate, which hid behind Liu Yu, like a mouse seeing a cat... "Liu Dahonghe... Well, our family... our family's decree is also read out Now, the soldiers and horses of the entire Youzhou are dispatched by Liu Dahonglu, our family... our family will go back first, first!"

Talking... Xiao Huangmen slipped away on a fast horse.

On the contrary, Liu Yu smiled at Zhang Yan, "When the brothers settle their families, let them come over... The Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, Youzhou's manpower is not enough!"

Zhang Yan put away his smile, and in an instant, his face became serious, "Guard Master Liu, I will go through fire and water with brothers from the Black Mountain Army, and I will do whatever it takes!"

...

...

Luoyang City, in the Cao Mansion.

One table, two bowls of thin wine... Cao Cao and Huang Fusong sat opposite each other.

Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou just went out, Huangfu Song wants to chat with Cao Cao alone...

Facing this former boss...the general who rubbed his dignity on the ground in the past, the very talkative Cao Cao suddenly fell silent...

He didn't know what to say... and he didn't know what Huangfusong was talking about when he came to see him.

It was Huangfu Song who opened his mouth first.

"I have seen the imperial edict, and I will send you to Jinan to be the Prime Minister..."

"Jinan?" Cao Cao was taken aback, no matter what...he never thought that he, a captain of cavalry with the same status as "Doctor 72", would be sent to a place to be the country's prime minister.

"This general just checked for you. Jinan Kingdom has changed 27 prime ministers in the past ten years. There is no news about the one who just passed away. He doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. We really can't send anyone here right now. So send you to..."

Huangfusong's words surprised Cao Cao again...

Before it was Luoyang North Captain, then Dunqiu Ling, this time it was Jinan Prime Minister... why every time the official title assigned to him, it must be a mess.

But...Cao Cao is not afraid, "In the past when Luoyang was a northern captain, I cast five-color sticks to beat the powerful and powerful, and offended many people...Dunqiu Lingshi, with the guidance of his third brother, has been able to handle it properly. No matter how difficult it is for Jinan, it is difficult However, Dunqiu Ling, the last general is still confident that he can govern Jinan well... Please rest assured, General."

At the end, Cao Cao stood up... and bowed to Huangfusong.

This obeisance made Huangfu also stand up.

"Unexpected... even now, you still treat me so respectfully." Huangfusong said with emotion.

"It's not respect, but respect!" Cao Cao still cupped his hands, "The third younger brother told me in the past, let me go to the general's command, and only the general who is a general, even a humble logistics chief, can be a real general Understand the battlefield! The final general does have many immaturities, and often treats the battlefield as a child's play..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, and his tone became more respectful. "The last general especially remembers the teachings of the great general - there is no important link in the battlefield, because every link is important!"

Huangfusong's face was serious: "You never hated me?"

Cao Cao shook his head, "Maybe I hated it once, and I was once a general who didn't understand why the third brother let me be under the command of the general...even if it's just to manage the humble logistics, but when I see soldiers getting wet, you don't use umbrellas, soldiers When you don’t eat, you are hungry, soldiers don’t pitch tents, and you don’t sleep! I finally understand how to be a real general, you are the coach who truly loves soldiers with all your heart and soul! You are also the object that the general will look up to and learn from all his life... In the barracks, the general contradicted the general many times, but there was only one thing...the general wanted to say..."

"What?"

"If General Meng doesn't dislike it, I would like to worship you as my mentor! In every aspect of the battlefield, I would like to listen to my mentor's guidance and teachings!"
