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

Chapter 184 So I'm Still Helping Xu Zhen? !
In the inner city of Yecheng, the land of Wei County is quite prosperous, especially when you get Youzhou, there are more gold and silver supplies, and jade wares are traded from north to south, which makes the two places much richer in materials at once, not to mention whether the people in various places are rich or not , but the soldiers in the army and the advisers who followed to conquer Youzhou were rewarded for their merits, and they were already rich.

With the manpower and material resources obtained, Ye City was built as a solid and magnificent city. Most of the inner city was filled with celebrities from the gentry, and it was really a place of romance.

When Liu Bei invited Xu You, he was just slightly drunk. According to him, his nephew made some achievements and wrote a poem, which was very popular with the elders. I drank some wine as an encouragement.

Speaking of the rise, he planned to recite the poem himself to enjoy with Liu Bei, and the two judged again, but when he was about to speak, Liu Bei's cold face popped out four words to make him drink Immediately woke up halfway, saying "Yan Liang is dead", immediately made Xu You dare not talk about his nephew's talent and literary talent.

Even lost in thought, Liu Bei didn't stop for a moment, and then he said that Yuan Shao came to see him in person tonight, and he used the name of "calling on him", plus Xu Bowen's deeds, which made Xu You's forehead sweat There are more and more beads.

It sounds like just a news of the defeat of Guandu, but if you think about it carefully, it is a problem of the morale of the two sides. Xu Zhen has already killed Yan Liang in the battle in January. If he dare not march next year, he may suffer When the common people criticize it, once rumors spread, it will not benefit Youzhou at all.

Where is the stability of Youzhou now? At that time, the eunuchs who followed Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan did not worship and admire Yuan Shao, but hated Gongsun Zan, so they united together. If Cao Cao is powerful now, wouldn’t there be a hidden danger of rebellion in his own rear? !

In the past, I only thought that Cao Cao had to solve a lot of hidden dangers, but Jizhou had no worries at all. Just wait for the food, grass and military equipment to be prepared, and let the soldiers rest for a while to cultivate their health and rest, and then they can immediately send troops to the south, and then go to Cao Cao's place in a mighty way. Yanzhou, take the emperor in hand, and make him like a bereaved dog.

However, this is all based on internal stability and the stability of the people's hearts. This defeat will make people's hearts unstable, not to mention that the emperor is still in the hands of Cao Cao. of.

At that time, the Yuan family will suffer disaster. It will take a lot of energy to counter the rebellion. How can they fight Cao Cao? The so-called great war they have been waiting for will not be killed in the cradle before it happens. Among them?

"Now, what is Xuande's plan?"

"Now Jizhou is still singing and dancing to celebrate the victory of Youzhou. Ask me what my plan is? I live here as a guest, recruiting troops and horses for the Duke of Ming, and promoting government benefits to the people. The income is only one or two dollars to fill the stomach, and I have never had any personal gain. Tibet, obedience to the public and discipline, thinking of the emperor's misfortune... so that he can't sleep at night! Who knows that everyone is celebrating the achievements! As you know, the civil and military celebrities in Jizhou are shouting for the wind and water in Yecheng, competing for Qinghe Weijun. At that time, Cao Cao and Xu Zhen had solved all the hidden dangers you mentioned!" Liu Bei looked up, his eyes were full of sincerity, but his tone was mostly reproachful.

Only Xu You can hear this sentence. If Liu Bei said it in front of other people, such as Xin Ping, Ju Shou, etc., he would probably be ridiculed. The general said that he would be forked to an unknown place.

"impossible!"

Xu You's face froze suddenly. How could the general situation of the world change at will? The situation is changing rapidly. The lands of Hebei, You, Qing, and Bingzhou are more than millions of people. With such a big situation in hand, what will Cao Cao and the others take? flat? !

"Xuande, are you scaremongering?!"

"Dangerous words?!" Liu Bei felt a little unsteady when he heard this sentence. He only realized now that Xu You didn't understand, but he knew that he had lost the opportunity, but he couldn't believe it in his heart. I'm afraid the whole Jizhou So, they have won too much, and now they have a great foundation, but they dare not admit defeat, but everyone doesn't value Cao Mengde very much, and they only think that if the army goes south, they can win?

"Don't drive, wake up, it can't be that in the huge Jizhou, I, Xuande, am the only one awake?"

"Humph! Hehe!" Xu You smiled twice, as if mocking Liu Bei, but with deep helplessness, "How do you treat the king? How can I have any reason to speak out? Nowadays, most of the gentry are conservative people, I don’t want to attack in a big way, just because half of the northern border is in my hands, and I can enjoy peace for decades.”

"I can't enjoy it!"

Liu Bei drank heavily, causing the two brothers outside the door to move a little more. Zhang Fei's dark figure appeared by the door in an instant, and even a shadow fell into the room, which made Xu You have to look sideways. All of a sudden, his attitude improved a lot in an instant.

Immediately smiled easily, "Xuande, don't get angry."

When he said this, the light outside the door opened up again, and the two of them looked at each other, and immediately separated from each other. Liu Bei looked down and saw that there were still a lot of paper and cloth from the military newspaper on the case. He found it casually. Some, spread out on the table, sighed: "Sun Ce has no worries, Jingzhou does not move."

"This one is for Zhong Yao to supervise the princes in Guanzhong."

"Taishan Zangba sent his son to Xudu as a hostage, Cao Cao has no worries."

"Absolutely impossible!" Xu You squinted at Liu Bei, and asked with a sneer, "Is Zhong Yao the princes outside the pass?"

"He can't do it, but if he wins this battle, Yan Liang wins the battle and spreads the battle report to the world, then he can be suppressed. Is it Zhong Yao who suppressed the princes outside the pass? It was the battle report cut by Xu Bowen!!!"

Liu Bei said bluntly, his voice was deafening.

Xu You remained silent.

Of course, after a long time, Xu You seemed to have sobered up, smiled wryly, and said to Liu Bei, "Well, the situation is very critical now, what should Xuande think? What can I do? If not , What should we do after next year? I also ask Uncle Huang for advice."

"Advance! Only you can speak. If you are a guest, you can't do it for you. But if you enter the army, my three brothers can help you with all your strength, help the Han, eliminate the Cao thief in Guandu, and save the emperor!!"

"it is good!"

Xu You sat up straight, looked deeply at Liu Bei, the two of them clasped their hands together, and their expressions became excited, "I may not lose in Jizhou, Xuande doesn't know my lord, he secretly trained [-] elite soldiers in Bingzhou, Excellent armaments, strong horses, white chariots, crossbows and arrows, and huge catapults were all acquired at huge sums of money, if this armament is transported, it will not be defeated lightly."

"However, my lord has a delicate mind and is good at making calculations. It takes only one person to speak up. The people in Qinghe are celebrities, and there are many wise men in Wei County. Everyone's words can be regarded as reasonable. If my lord listens to Tian Feng's words, the future army The capital is huge, and the territory is peaceful, and it is feasible, as long as we defend Liyang City, Cao Jun will be in vain if he does not advance an inch."

"So the words of marching must be said together by someone else, otherwise it is definitely not enough for me alone."

Liu Bei sighed deeply, and said, "Just say it, if Duke Ming asks me, I will answer."

"it is good!"

What Xu You wanted was this sentence. He clasped his fists deeply to Liu Bei, bowed and worshiped. If Liu Bei spoke, it would be a good thing. It is Liu Bei who is the guest here, maybe a word can make him change his opinion.

Having settled on this matter, Liu Bei bid farewell to Xu You and went out. When he returned to the deep courtyard of the mansion, he felt more and more uneasy. If this is the situation in Jizhou, then the heart of civil and martial arts may not be dead. Yan Liang can remind him that it must be It's impossible to lose.

In the past, when I was studying, I didn't know which famous teacher to follow. I heard a sentence, people teach others not, and things teach people deeply.

The simple truth is now confirmed in this Jizhou, and a few more Liu Huangshus may not be able to wake up these sons of aristocratic families who have begun to strive for fame and fortune.

Is it true that we have to wait for the four states to fall apart before we wake up? !
This evening, Liu Bei had to recall that when he had a brief meeting with Xu Zhen, he talked about Yuan Shao in Jizhou. He once said that if he arrived in Jizhou, let alone Wenda made great achievements in the world, he didn't know if he could gain a firm foothold. He was thrown into the stinking ditch on the first day, and then the written strategy was sent to a certain family in Qinghe, and then presented to Yuan Shao.

This is true, only today did Liu Bei realize how far-sighted that kid is, beyond the reach of ordinary people, and not at all his age.It was really the best choice for him to vote for Cao Cao. Of course, it would be equally good if he voted for me...

Nowadays, it is not easy to put down thieves, but at least both sides can suffer.

If it is not possible to take it, I will go far south and vote in Jingzhou. In any case, I have now fought against Cao Cao, and if I lose, I should leave a way out. do planning.

……

Guandu Camp.

Soldiers and horses were stationed at the three ferries, and three solid barracks were built. Thanks to Cao Cao's scolding of Xu Zhen that night, Cao Cao was still taking materials to build barracks after several days. I'm afraid that I will let down the little bit of geographical advantage that the two generals Xu Zhen and Xiahou Dun fought so hard for, how can I be unhappy.

So Cao Cao planned to take Xu Zhen and the generals back to Xudu after Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses could not be seen even after he sent out dozens of miles away in the past few days, and waited for the replacement of soldiers and horses in the coming year.

In the three camps, Xu Zhen stationed his soldiers and horses at Yanjin Ferry, and then left a few generals behind, only returning to Xudu with Dianwei, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang. In the camp, there were Zhang Liao, who was drunk as an official crossing the water, and Wei Gai. The martial idiot Xu Chu of the three armies, and the three generals Gao Shun who risked his life for blood, the morale of the army is still very high.

After the new year, Xu Zhen and others will come back immediately.

It took three days to return to Xudu. After Cao Cao got off the carriage, he took Xu Zhen to his home to meet his father. Cao Song was so angry that he fainted several times because of Chen Lin's letter before. After a few years, the old man has aged a lot. Fortunately, he is only weak, or he is old and sad, so he often sits in the gazebo alone and watches the snow.

The clan relatives came back and said that Xu Zhen and Yuan Rang led the army to kill Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou, so he felt better, had dinner with Xu Zhen, encouraged him, and gave Dian Wei a lot of wine gifts.

After returning to the house, Xu Zhen finally lost too many government affairs before the end of the year, so he spent military funds to change the government office he was in into a huge and deep courtyard. This courtyard is outside the southern suburbs of Xudu, near Chen Keep.

After resting for half a day, Xu Zhen entered the imperial hall three times. First, he reported the income of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Chenliu over the years, the internal affairs policy, and the tax collection treasury. It is to send 16 shi of grain into the treasury, and apply to the emperor for a one-year tax reduction and exemption for the people in the three counties, so as to support the people, Liu Xie agreed one by one.

Entering the main hall three times, each time was accompanied by Yu Shi and Shang Shutai, and the school order of the prime minister's mansion was beside him. On the third time, even Yang Biao was there. Although he was in the position of Taiwei, he was actually He has no real power, but he is still a little shocked when he hears about it.

Listening to conversation, eloquence, and bearing, all are eloquent like a river, tall and straight like a green pine, strong in physique and good in complexion, very familiar with political affairs in various places, and it can even be said to be like a treasure. The name of the village, even the location of a kiosk, can accurately tell the harvest, population, etc.

After listening to Xu Zhen's report that day, Yang Biao couldn't ask the two questions that he originally planned to make things difficult for him, so when he returned home, he was still in a daze, thinking about some of his views on Xu Zhen at that time. .

For a moment, I didn't even think about it, why did I think he was a dead man? !He also thought that his achievements were all given by the Cao family. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he is preconceived. The understanding of Xu Zhen has been led astray. He even wrote a letter to Jizhou to send it to his in-law Yuan Shao. I deleted the wrong news, and if I correct it now, I will not be able to send the letter again...

Seeing Yang Biao so out of his mind and silent, Yang Xiu, who was studying at home, had something to hide in his heart. He just got promoted as Xiaolian, and now he is a doctor. He may be allowed to enter the prime minister's residence in a few days. It is not a strange thing in the Zanying family, but today I also heard that my father went to listen to Xu Zhen report to Jiujiang Paying taxes, why did you come back like this?
"Father, what's unusual in the hall today? Could it be that the prime minister is persecuting him again?"

Yang Xiusheng was handsome and elegant, with a fair complexion, neatly trimmed beard and hair, wearing a moon-white robe, not plain white, looking rather luxurious, and asked with one hand behind his back in concern.

Yang Biao's expression was still gloomy, and he hadn't opened his mouth for a while, Yang Xiu asked a few more words before he opened his mouth in a daze, and said, "If so, I wrote to Yuan Shao, saying that Xu Zhen is a person who seeks fame and reputation, which is not sufficient... ...He also believed it, so what kind of situation am I in?"

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, he didn't know how to speak, he walked back and forth in the lobby of his home for several steps with his hands behind his back, and finally the expression on his face became unsure whether it was joy or worry , stretched out his hand and patted his father's arm, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Father actually helped Xu Junhou secretly. Otherwise, how could Jizhou be so careless and let him take advantage of it secretly. But this matter should not be told to others. Our father and son know it in our hearts. If Jizhou loses in the future, there will be someone else." Speech."

Yang Biao took a deep look at his own son, couldn't help feeling annoyed, and let out a long sigh.

But I was kind enough to tell him about Xu Zhen's style!They are all sincere!
