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

Chapter 233 I am on official business, and my heart is for the common people!
"Your Majesty! Woohoo!"

The old woman's teeth were almost gone, her face was full of wrinkles, her shoulders were thin and sagged, and she couldn't straighten her waist when she stood up. This was a problem caused by years of heavy work.

I thought this would be the end of my life, but I didn't expect that before I died, I could take another look at my son who had joined the army and hadn't returned.

"Old woman, thank you, Junhou. From now on, my son will sacrifice his life for Junhou, and sacrifice his life for Junhou!"

"Oh, I don't need to thank the old man!" Xu Zhen asked Su Wei to help her up, and then said: "Your son is a prisoner! Hurry up and say something sweet, maybe tomorrow he will be deported due to lack of food! "

"Woo?! Woo!!"

The old woman froze for a moment, her eyes seemed to widen.

All of a sudden cry out loud.

Xu Zhen laughed, patted the back of her hand, and said: "You liar, hurry up and say a few more words to your son, don't drag me to thank you! It's enough to waste my time, I have to go to manage politics, old man! Let's go!" Already!"

"Woooo!"

The old man smacked his lips a few times, looking at Xu Zhen's back, he was wronged for a moment, and then laughed through his tears.

The face is like a blooming flower, and a tooth that is not very white is exposed in the mouth.

This is just a microcosm of the prisoner-of-war camp. At this moment, hundreds of family members have entered the prisoner-of-war camp, and there are crying voices everywhere.

The wife saw her husband and father, and the old man saw his son who hadn't returned for many years. Of course, he couldn't make a sound, while the other orphans who had no family members were also tearful and envious at this moment, and they all stood apart from each other to watch this scene.

Haven't waited for the family members to be prisoners of war, stretched their necks and looked outside the prisoner-of-war camp, looking forward to their family members coming to meet each other.

Whenever someone asks how they are doing in Jizhou now, these family members make no secret of their gratitude to Xu Zhen, and praise is endless.

Therefore, the cries became louder. After these prisoners of war heard about the internal policy, they gradually had a deeper understanding of the current Jizhou. Therefore, many people also made up their minds when they looked at each other.

There is nothing wrong with dying to protect Jizhou. If you follow the princes into the camp, even if you need them to charge in the battle in the future, you will not hesitate.

And Xu Zhen left this place early, went to the main account, and watched the progress on the system interface from time to time. Every time a commoner who received a letter from home was called, the progress would progress.

Therefore, Xu Zhen also had time to read books. All kinds of ancient books from Zhen's home were placed in front of Xu Zhen's main account and piled up in the main account.

Xu Zhen can read all these books in one day, increase his knowledge, and the increase in knowledge has an indirect effect on the growth of other intelligence-related abilities.

Read for three hours.

One after another, many people entered the prisoner-of-war camp to meet their family members. As more and more people came, the progress continued to increase.

Xu Zhen put down the letter, and when he looked up again, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the main tent.

[You study for three hours, self-discipline value +200]

【Small increase in knowledge】

The reading event has been interrupted, mainly because Xu Zhen's thoughts have been interrupted.

Standing outside the tent door was a middle-aged man who was not tall but quite majestic, dressed in a black robe, with a little gray hair on his temples.

He is very majestic, with a bushy beard, and standing with his hands behind his back is like a mountain pass. Seeing Xu Zhen's gaze, he immediately smiled.

"Bowen, you are still studying hard day and night, studying endlessly."

"Cao Ying has a good background in martial arts. If you don't learn for three days, you will be far behind you."

Xu Zhen took a deep breath, and was not annoyed by the interruption of his reading. He immediately got up and cupped his hands, walked out quickly, bowed deeply, and said softly, "My lord."

"Why did you come to Jizhou?"

"I went to Qinghe first. I heard that you have been in the Zhongshan camp, so I urged the troops to come." Cao Cao smiled, like an old man at home. He walked around the main tent, and what he saw was clean and tidy. Still the same as before, the general's account is cleaned and organized meticulously every day.

Nothing can hinder it. In this military tent, all items are neatly arranged, the ground is not dusty, and even blankets are spread in many places.

The blanket is also like [-]% new.

"You are still the same as usual, as expected of you."

"It hasn't changed in these years, and I still insist on self-discipline. Nothing should change," Xu Zhen said calmly. "Although the status is different from that time, and the achievements have been earned year by year, but the original intention cannot be changed. I still remember that time. When you entered the Lord's camp, what did you work hard for?"

"Okay, kindness!"

Cao Cao praised him, but actually felt a little ashamed in his heart, because after defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao really wanted to rest, and gradually felt that there should be no more opponents in the world.

Among the lords of the world, Liu Biao is the only one who can fight. It is a pity that Liu Biao is already old. Although he is old, he is not powerful.

It is also boring to fight with him. Today, seeing Xu Zhen again, it wakes up Cao Cao's heart. Don't take it lightly at any time. There are many talents in the world, and there may be powerful enemies outside.

"My lord's praise." Xu Zhen bowed his hands immediately, and said with a smile, "Actually, I have earned it myself, so I will persist."

"It's not necessary for everyone to learn from me. After all, not everyone can gain a lot."

Cao Cao immediately leaned back, took a deep look at Xu Zhen, and said with a twist of his mouth: "You are a little arrogant when you say that, whoever said that others can't get something, everyone has their own gains, but it's just a little bit. "

"You have perseverance, if others can achieve such a mind, can't they improve? Heh heh heh..."

Cao Cao said and patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder, making him scratch his head in embarrassment. After a while, Cao Cao walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at Xu Zhen with a smile.

"Write letters for the prisoners of war to inform their families, so as to enhance the relationship between the army and the people, and write letters in person to win the hearts of the prisoners of war. At this moment, all the Bingzhou Army should belong to you."

"It's really a clever plan. I really don't know how to praise you. Bowen is really a rare famous general in the world. In the future, your deeds will definitely be written in history books and passed down. You can also become a sage and be learned by others. Your merits are immeasurable."

"Your lord, you're absurd again. I really want to do something for them," Xu Zhen touched his nose slightly against his will. Although he also had the same intention, it was actually for the time-limited task.

"These prisoners of war have been away from home for many years, and they were taken away by Yuan Shao. I treat them like this, which can be compared with Yuan Shao. When the prisoners of war are taken back in the future, it will be easier to let them return to their hearts. In Bingzhou and Youzhou, at least there are More than 15 Jizhou soldiers brought out by Yuan Shao."

"They all want to go home."

When Cao Cao heard this, he believed Xu Zhen's words, and immediately sighed, "Yes, there have been many wars and Yuan Shao's defeat, and even the local people refused to let them go."

"It's also for his son's sake. I didn't expect his two sons to be so unsatisfactory. If Yuan Tan was still around, the fight would not have been so fierce."

No, they will only fight more fiercely. The three of them can mess up Youzhou and Bingzhou.

Xu Zhen murmured secretly, and at the same time raised his head and asked Cao Cao: "My lord, you haven't answered me yet. What's the matter in Zhongshan all of a sudden? You're not here to find out how I use the 80 shi of grain?"

"Am I that kind of person?!" Cao Cao glared at him immediately.

"This time, it is for marching."

Cao Cao stood up on the main seat with his hands behind his back, walked slowly in front of Xu Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't killed Yuan Shang yet, this time I was taken to Zhongshan as a prisoner, and I ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to join me in the next chapter, the Tiger Ben. Hurry here."

"As for me, come to Jizhou with Qingqi in advance, why? I'm not welcome?"

Xu Zhen muttered suddenly, "The main reason is that I don't have money to entertain."

"what?"

"I said, the lord has come and is full of splendor, so he must be good to entertain you."

"Well, that's right."

……

night.

Xu Zhen asked Xu You to accompany Cao Cao to drink, and what happened was the fine wine from the army's cellar sent by the Zhen family. The wine in Jizhou was much stronger than the wine in Runan.

After staying with him all night, Xu You almost spit out his bile, which made Cao Cao a little happy.

Xu Zhen returned to the government office early to practice martial arts with Dian Wei to improve his proficiency in Miao Dao.

After a year of hard training and perseverance, Miao Dao has now broken through to the [Peak], and Xu Zhen's force has now reached [103].

That is to say, Dian Wei can still withstand dozens of rounds a little bit, but it is also dangerous.

Among the big men, Xu Zhen has no opponents in singles, but Xu Zhen is still not complacent today. The world is so big that all foreigners should be counted.

There may be someone with a better physique somewhere, and this must not be taken lightly.

Day two.

When Xu Zhen took office, Cao Cao came to wait in the main hall of the government office early, but he didn't pass Xu Zhen to help him manage the government, but came to watch first.

Seeing Xu Zhen coming, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Why do you collect ancient scrolls everywhere? I heard that these books are all in the collection of the Zhen family?"

"Personal preference."

Xu Zhen responded as a matter of course, "Is there nothing to do, my lord?"

"Um?!"

Cao Cao frowned, and smiled at Xu Zhen, "What do you mean? Then I'll go?"

"That's not true. After drinking so much wine last night, why did you get up early today to manage politics?"

"Well, I understand most of the current political affairs in Jizhou, but it's really nothing to do. I can't review your political affairs for you, it's boring."

"How about, let's put it aside for a while today, and follow me around in Zhongshan Country to see how the people in various places are?"

When Cao Cao came this time, he really wanted to come to Jizhou first, and have another chance to play with Xu Zhen for a few days. We haven't seen each other for many months, so it's not as close as before.

At that time, although there was only one state in Yanzhou, they could be seen day and night, and I had personally trained and taught Xu Zhen, otherwise how could I have the talent of Xu Zhen now!

What is the hero of the world is the satisfaction of personally cultivating an all-rounder in civil and military affairs whose talents can be compared with his own.

At this moment, Cao Cao has already thought up three or four poems, and when he plays to the point of emotion, he can open his mouth and sing them out.

"I don't want to go. I have to manage the government. Forgive me, my lord. At this time, the autumn harvest in Jizhou is approaching. Many things must be ordered and arranged in person, otherwise there may be troubles."

"Tsk, I deliberately came here early from Xudu!"

The smile on Cao Cao's face froze slightly.

I rode eight hundred miles to play with you, and you actually want to soak in these internal affairs inspection reports? !

These things can be viewed once every seven days, once half a month. I have never seen anyone who reads them every day. If some political affairs are not important, just put them aside!
Ordinary governance matters are reviewed according to common sense, and those words are written and written, and officials from all over the country are allowed to govern and make decisions according to the people's conditions.

There is no need to see it in person.

"This, this can't be helped..."

Xu Zhen babbled a few times, faltered from left to right, and looked at Dian Wei who was standing not far from the right, and Dian Wei was also very smart this time, so he just lowered his head and took a nap, pretending that he hadn't woken up yet.

Zhuge Liang coughed, then got up and cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, Junhou, I will go to the army to check on the patrol situation, see if there is anything wrong last night, and check if there is any news from Youzhou outside."

After speaking, he left directly.

Jia Xu didn't come to the government office at all. Of course, it is also possible that he came early and saw Cao Cao, said hello and ran away.

The rest of the generals were in the barracks and never returned to the government office.

And Xu You vomited all night last night, and he is probably still sleeping now. The classmates are very chatty when they meet each other, and Cao Cao still feels that he owes Xu You. Back then, he didn’t have many rewards for his meritorious service. Cao Cao also suspected that Xu You would take credit for it. There is no arrogance at all, and he has been acting in a low-key manner.

It is quite different from his estimate.

Yang Xiu and Chen Deng are both in Qinghe, and have never been to Zhongshan. At this moment, in the main hall, except for Dian Wei who is dozing off, only Xu Zhen and Cao Cao are staring at each other.

"Xu Bowen, do you really want to waste your time here?"

"It's not wasteful. There are really important political matters. The closer it is to the autumn harvest, the more we can't take it lightly. If something goes wrong this year, there will be insufficient food and grass next year. Wouldn't it be a pity?"

"What if the millions of people in Jizhou don't have enough to eat?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath slowly, straightened his chest heavily, raised the corners of his mouth subconsciously, the smile on his face was full of anger, and then exhaled two lines of rough air from his nose.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "As a prince and state shepherd, he has already reached this position, and he still looks like a stingy rich man, caring about the food and grass!"

"You go out with me! After the autumn harvest, I will transfer 30 stone grains and [-] catties of pork for you!"

Xu Zhen was in awe at this time, and immediately stood up, with a serious and solemn expression, panting a lot, and said heavily: "You are insulting Bowen by saying this! I am for the people of Jizhou, is it for the sake of the people of Jizhou?" Is Qian Liang pretending to be hypocritical here?"

"50 million!"

"Let's go, go to Zhongshan. I know there is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is suitable for observing the people's sentiments. I will ask people to prepare fruits and vegetables, delicacies, wine and hospitality, and chat with the lord. In addition, there is another person named Cui Lin who is It’s Cui Yan’s younger brother, who happens to be introduced to the lord, he is a man with a beautiful heart, a late bloomer, and he has learned a lot.”

Cao Cao: "..."

While speaking, Xu Zhen had already walked in front of Cao Cao, making a gesture of invitation with one hand, and resting the other on Cao Cao's elbow, bowing slightly, very respectful.

This attitude was so humble that even Dian Wei woke up.

Winking behind, his face was wrinkled, as if he had eaten something unclean.

As expected of you, my lord.
