Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 13 That's really true, Xiao De is strong
noon.

The tour is over.

[You complete the tour, self-discipline value +20]

"Sure enough, it was delayed."

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, a little depressed.

This is as uncomfortable as being deducted from wages.

It's not easy to work hard to accumulate some self-discipline points. You insist on listening to praise, and you want me to lead the army.

Is that what I can get? !

I am a man with a foreign surname, without much merit, and without the reputation of convincing the public. If I lead two thousand troops, the rest of the generals must not eat me alive!

Xu Zhen frowned.

"My lord, do you think my lord will be narrow-minded?"

Dian Wei said worriedly from the side.

"What if you are really asked to keep farming all the time?"

"That's good."

Xu Zhen sighed, "Now that the merits are getting bigger and bigger, I am worried about the future. If I am really asked to lead the army in battle, what should I do..."

"Isn't it good to make meritorious service and become famous?"

"Really?" Xu Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Of course it is good for a general of the Cao family to make meritorious service, but it is not acceptable for a general with a foreign surname. The most taboo for a counselor is that his merits are too high and he is a good person."

"If a person has both fame and merit, and is very self-disciplined and introspective, who would dare to use this kind of person when he grows up?"

"Then you..." Dian Wei went numb.

So you understand.

Wouldn't it be a bit... brave and fearless to still do this?

"Oh, I can't help it," Xu Zhen obviously knew what he was talking about, "You think I don't want to indulge in luxury and money, and play songs every night, but I have to pretend."

"To adhere."

Xu Zhen patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, not going to say more, anyway, he wouldn't understand if he said too much.

But Dian Wei suddenly became respectful again, and muttered: "You mean, no matter whether a person is really benevolent or not, even if he pretends, as long as he persists in pretending for a lifetime, he will become true?"

Xu Zhen's face suddenly turned bitter, "Why do you think so much, a soldier? You want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Still pretending to be forever, do I mean that? !
"What do you mean, postgraduate entrance examination?"

"fine."

Xu Zhen waved his hand.

It doesn't matter, Cao Cao is not a narrow-minded person, the more he is unaffected, the more relaxed he will be, and he will not be suspicious. After all, he has no power in his hands and cannot threaten anyone.

……

a day later.

Cao Jun patrolled the camp day and night, and under constant investigation, he found Yuan Shu who was crossing the river and heading north. He did not give up entering Yanzhou, but planned to invade and loot and occupy the city.

As a result, Cao Cao ordered an attack decisively, and the soldiers and horses who were waiting in battle had long been angry.

At this moment, all vented on Yuan Jun who was crossing the river.

It was killed overnight.

Yuan Shu fled south as a last resort.

Cao Cao sent troops to drive away.

They chased him for hundreds of miles in three days, and they didn't stop until they drove him out of Yanzhou and entered Yangzhou.

Cao Jun shouted loudly in this battle, and Yuan Shu had no power to fight back, and was almost defeated.

When Yuan Shu arrived in Shouchun, only Sun Jian's former subordinate Wu Jing from Nanyang came to help him.

However, Chen Yu, the prefect of Shouchun, did not let Yuan Shu enter the city.

As a result, Wu Jing led the army to defeat him, killed his whole family, and gathered his troops.

So Yuan Shu occupied Shouchun and developed towards Yangzhou. He never mentioned the matter of going north to invade to find Cao Cao, and even Tao Qian, who had been ambiguous in the past and was about to become an ally, no longer had much contact.

There was no mention of the Battle of Fengqiu.

The first few days.

When Yuan Shu returned home to sleep, he lifted the quilt and found that the sound coming from inside was Cao Jun's hooves.

He didn't want to go through the pain of that kind of memory again.

……

After Yanzhou returned to Anding again.

Xu Zhen also lived a period of time without being disturbed.

Practicing knives, raising horses, archery, reading, and practicing with Dian Wei every day.

After accumulating for ten days.

Force value increased by 1 point again.

【Force: 77】

"call."

Under the setting sun, Xu Zhen put the knife back into its sheath, and the cold light on the knife around the head was closed. Xu Zhen, who was sweating profusely, became more heroic.

Improving again makes his martial arts more refined, and his strength such as vigor is also improving.

"Huan Shou Dao has already reached a very high level of attainment, probably using the Huan Shou Dao to engage in combat can exceed 80 force."

"But a knife is not a long soldier after all."

Xu Zhen found out in several brinkmanship battles with Yuan Jun that his ring sword was not as powerful as a long soldier in a chaotic battle.

Although killing the enemy is fast, the danger is still very high.

You can only dodge by avoiding dangers all around. Although you won't be at a disadvantage because of your agility, it's not good after all.

Use long soldiers.

A halberd or spear is better.

"More self-discipline values ​​are needed."

That takes credit.

If you can make more meritorious service, you can be promoted to an official position, and the self-discipline value you get will naturally increase.

Just this morning, Xu Zhen got some information when he heard the lieutenant general talk about something. It seems that Cao Cao has already received a reply from the old man and is now on his way.

This matter needs to be discussed.

The sun has just set.

Xu Zhen quickly asked someone to close the gate of the Diannong Institute, and ordered that at night, according to the on-duty arrangement, he would patrol the vicinity of the Diannong Institute and be on duty at the barracks.

Leave here.

[You have completed a one-day job, self-discipline value +30]

Then quickly arrived in Juancheng.

The city gate guards were already familiar with Xu Zhen's handsome face.

Because every day at this time will see him go home on time.

every day.

Not a single breath is much.

So he automatically stepped aside.

These days, Xu Zhen's reputation has also become weird.

You say that he is dedicated to his duties and dedicated himself to his duties. He will definitely go home every day at sunset, and he will never stay in office for more than a moment.

But if it is said that he is greedy for ease and pleasure, he is not willing to suffer, and he must patrol every day.

So these defenders of the city commented on Xu Zhen as: He devoted himself to everything during the time period.

Soon.

Xu Zhen arrived at Xun Yu's house.

After all, they are rare customers.

In the past, Xu Zhen would never visit others, and it was very difficult for others to visit him. He was either practicing martial arts or studying.

Basically do not communicate with others.

Come to see Xun Yu at this time, there must be something to do.

So Xun Yu came out with a piece of clothing on.

Xu Zhen was entertained sleepily.

At this time, Xun Yu hadn't slept all day, and was just about to take a rest, and got up again at night to check the books from various places.

It is very difficult.

Every time he sees the energetic Xu Zhen, he is somewhat envious.

"Bowen, what do you want me for?"

"I heard that the lord's father is coming to Yanzhou from Langya?" Xu Zhen asked seriously?

"That's right," Xun Yu rubbed his eyes, suddenly losing interest.

What, you recently angered the lord, and are planning to attack his third father?
"This is broken!"

"how?"

Xun Yu frowned, realizing that things might not be simple.

"My lord's father came here with the family property, and Tao Qian himself and I, Yanzhou, have gradually turned against each other. Knowing that it can't be repaired, how can we just sit idly by?"

"Huh? So what?"

"Didn't my lord happen to have a reason to attack Xu?" Xu Zhen sighed, "If the old man was killed by Tao Qian on the way, wouldn't there be a reason to avenge him?"

"Xuzhou is the place that must be attacked. My lord's grief can turn our three armies into mourning soldiers."

"As the old saying goes, the mourning army will win."

Xun Yu stood up abruptly, "This..."

This is really powerful!

"How can my lord have such thoughts!" Xun Yu immediately refuted Xu Zhen.

"Of course not! That's not what I meant!" Xu Zhen stood up and cupped his hands to Xun Yu, saying, "I'm just making random judgments, but I've angered my lord recently, so I don't dare to say it. On my behalf, if the lord doesn't take it seriously, just treat it as a nonsense, and worry about nothing!!"

"It's just that I read the Spring and Autumn Annals at night recently, and I understand the principle that ordinary people are innocent, but they are guilty. Maybe...Tao Qian doesn't hate the old man, but the Cao family property is really too much!"

"If the money goes to Yanzhou, how much can we use for the army? If it doesn't go to Yanzhou, but goes to Xuzhou, how much can we reduce our army and how much can we use to support Xuzhou soldiers? One hundred thousand soldiers can be compared to one hundred thousand soldiers!"

"Tsk." One hundred thousand at every turn.

But there are also [-] to [-].

Who can deny this.

It's a good sentence that every man is not guilty, but he is guilty if he is pregnant.

This Bowen is much more thorough than we thought.

"I'm going to see the lord right away!"

Xun Yu pondered for a while, but suddenly lost all sleepiness, and even had cold sweat on his back.

What Xu Zhen said was right, although this move would give him a reason to attack Xu, but no one would want such a thing to happen.

It is necessary to make a decision early and have a complete policy to prevent this trouble from happening.
