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

Chapter 17 He Belongs to... Dedicated to His Own within the Time Limitation
"Father said exactly what he said."

Cao Cao deeply believed that if such a trend could be extended to the whole territory, not only in the military camps, but also officials from all over the country would follow suit, and what would be obtained would not be as simple as rice, grain and money on the surface.

It's the atmosphere in the whole territory. If this continues, what an elegant and prosperous place Yanzhou will become in a few years.

Among the people, how stable will the hearts of the people be.

In the long run, there will be an additional standard for the promotion and appointment of officials in the future.

Xu Zhen is trying to promote this kind of atmosphere.

Cao Cao took another deep look and smiled lightly.

He said to Su Wei in front of him: "In that case, go and tell Bo Wen that my father and I are waiting for him in the government office, and ask him to come to the mansion after he finishes his work."

"You tell him that this is not a summons between the masters and ministers, but an invitation from friends."

"Here!"

Hearing this, the guard of the Diannong Institute was confused for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed with fists in his hands, "Thank you, my lord, for my lord."

"Hmm," Cao Cao laughed cheerfully.

Even if the guards under his command are so happy, it seems that Xu Zhen is really suitable for leading troops.

With such charm and prestige, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't lead troops.

……

In the afternoon, Cao Cao returned to the government office.

He told Xun Yu what he saw today.

Xi Zhicai was also present.

He also made it clear that he didn't want to punish Xu Zhen's disrespect, but praised him for his demeanor of being strict with himself and fulfilling orders immediately.

"Bowen is really a master. If he gave up digging the canal today and went back to the government office to talk with me, then his order will not be counted. He can finish the work after a few days."

"But he didn't." Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with a sincere expression, "Shouldn't officials and soldiers all over the world emulate this kind of spirit?"

"There is no joke in the army, it is like a gentleman who makes a promise! A promise is worth a thousand dollars. From today on, you must learn from Bowen."

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and naturally understood in their hearts.

This matter spread out, and not one person became famous.

but two people.

Xu Zhen and the lord.

Of course, Xu Zhen is dedicated to his duty and keeps his promises.

But the lord is as modest as he is, and he is a corporal, so he has such a good reputation.

Therefore, both of them secretly smiled at each other.

Then bowed down, "Of course!"

After Xi Zhicai stood up, the corners of his mouth turned up even more, he folded his hands in his sleeves, put them on top of each other again, and said loudly: "Back when I knew his strategy, I already knew that this person is extraordinary."

"Xu Bowen's ability to judge the old lady's affairs is already superior to mine. Such a prestige needs to be spread. If he puts it at the bottom, it will show that the lord loves talents even more."

"No, it should be. If you are thirsty for talents, if the scholars of the world know about this, how can you not come to join us in the future?!"

Cao Cao laughed, "Zhicai really won my heart."

The three people present are all confidantes.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't care about Yi Xizhi's praise of the horse's behavior. It's not bad to come here once or twice.

The biggest difference between Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai is that Xun Yu knows but doesn't like to speak clearly. After Xi Zhicai knows, he will definitely call Cao Cao by name.

But his tone, demeanor, and thought will never make Cao Cao hate him, he will only feel closer to him.

Therefore, within a day, the story of Xu Zhen's refusal to see Cao Cao spread.

From the inner city of Juancheng to the barracks.

Widespread.

With Cao Cao's proposal of abolishing the government, it instantly became something that scholars in the territory talked about.

As a result, the officials of the day were unwilling to leave their posts immediately after nightfall, and they were also willing to detail all the things in their hands.

Or, it is to take the unfinished business and do the future work.

I can't wait to finish the work that could only be done in seven or eight days today in one day.

The same is true for the internal affairs proposals and the strategies submitted, as if their thoughts have become more active.

Officials from all over the country even expressed their feelings, or took people to reclaim them at night.

After all, everyone knew that Cao Cao was the master of the Ming Dynasty, even Xu Zhen rejected him, but instead got praise and publicity, and became famous.

Who doesn't want fame? !Whether it is among the gentry or among the common people, fame is the face of the future. No matter how the lord changes in the world, these people with lofty ideals who are like the mainstay still have the opportunity to show their strengths.

In the end, since Cao Cao himself, he was unwilling to do more rest and leisure.

So he immediately discussed the matter of attacking Xu.

……

At this time, it was ten minutes after sunset in the evening, and it also reached Xu Zhen's ears.

After they dug the ditch, it was still some time before it was completely dark.

Xu Zhen squatted on the hill, looking at the trend of the entire ditches and fields, and was in a daze by the way.

Dian Wei came from behind with a look of excitement.

"My lord, you have become famous for refusing to meet the lord today!!"

"Oh?!"

Xu Zhen turned around suddenly, curious, "What's the matter?"

Dian Wei told the news that came out, Xu Zhen frowned and thought for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly came to light, "Oh! After such a pass, I have the reputation of being strict with myself, dedicated to my duties, and serving the people wholeheartedly. Known as the magnanimous lord."

"We all have a bright future."

His intelligence is not very high now, so he can't understand the meaning instantly like a first-class counselor when it comes to these emergencies that were not originally planned in history.

But after thinking about it for a while, with the understanding of these people, I can still figure it out.

"Then, let's not go back now!"

Dian Wei was in high spirits, as if he was very comfortable with the feeling of being praised and revered.

"Dig another one, my lord, we will accompany you to dig all night."

When the other guards heard this, they were all in high spirits, and they patted their chests immediately, "That's no problem, I still have strength."

"No, no, no," Xu Zhen glanced at the sky, his expression seemed to be expecting something, and the moment the sun completely set, he stood up.

"go home!!"

"Eh?!" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, don't you want to do more? !

At least put it on!

Now the whole world is watching us!
"grown ups?"

"Have a good rest! I will sleep when I sleep, I will wake up when I wake up, and I will come back at the hour of tomorrow," Xu Zhen walked away directly, packed up his tools and rode away.

When I arrived at the Diannong Institute, I left behind closed doors.

At about the same time every day, he appeared in front of the gate of Juancheng.

The guards were stunned immediately.

Didn't you mean to do your best? !
What about the atmosphere? !

Eh? !Our brothers have added three more patrol shifts, so why don't you go home and rest yourself, my lord! ?

……

night.

The strategy of attacking Xu was at a time of intense discussion.

Xi Zhicai has said that several counselors have retired, and has made a preliminary plan to use Xiaopei as a base to station troops and send a letter to punish Tao Qian, counting three crimes.

One crime is to usurp the Han within the territory, disrespect the Han family, and condone and raise traitors.

The second crime is not taking people's livelihood and stability, plundering family property, and blood feud.

The three crimes are trying to provoke internal strife, donating food to Yuan Shu, and watching each other fight.

After finalizing the general outline of the call to action, Xi Zhicai suddenly had a clear idea and said: "Our army has a lot of food and grass. After closing the warehouse this year, not only will there be no shortage, but there will be surplus food. If we ask for food from the people, they will naturally give it generously."

"Attack Xu to fight quickly, and the transportation of food and grass will definitely be able to carry it higher. If the people of Xuzhou still try to resist in vain, they should be frightened with thunderous fury!"

"But," Xun Yu sighed at this time, "If this is the case, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will be ruined."

"That's also Tao Qian's responsibility!" Xi Zhicai stood with his hands behind his back, quite proudly, "Wen Ruo, kindness doesn't command soldiers, how can there be no disasters of war in a troubled world! What is the reason for war? It's for peace!"

"Besides, the people of Xuzhou may be afraid to support this appeal because of this enmity, so they can only scatter, and one will gain the upper hand."

"No," Xun Yu still shook his head, but after a while, he couldn't find any reason to refute him.

Cao Cao remained silent, and suddenly asked the person on the left, "Has Bowen finished his work?"

Cao Chun leaned back tactically, with embarrassment on his face, glanced at the civil and military personnel with some embarrassment, and clasped his fists: "Just now, the guards are here to report..."

"When the sun just set, I said I went home and went to bed."

Cao Cao: "..."

what? !

Go home and sleep? !

I always thought he was still digging trenches!

"My lord, you don't know something..." Cao Chun curled his lips, "Bowen devoted himself to everything... It is true, but when it comes to rest, he will never stay in office for a moment longer."

"He is just working at sunrise and resting at sunset, devoting himself to himself."

Dedicated to the scope? !

There are such people in this world? !
Cao Cao rubbed his head, feeling a little pain.

"Go and invite him to discuss the matter."
