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

Chapter 256 God, He Built a Gorgeous Pavilion

After the beginning of spring, the first time I saw Cao Cao so happy and excited, it must be the good news of the battle report from the north.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also reacted immediately, and immediately went to call Xun Yu.

From Shangshutai all the way to the prime minister's mansion.

While walking in a hurry, Xun Yu still maintained his poise, his appearance was perfect, his face was still calm and serious, and he said slowly: "I have seen the information, Feng Xiao doesn't have to be so anxious."

"That's right, Shangshutai is indeed the first to know the news. Is there any change in the situation in the north?"

"Did Gongsundu sincerely join? Or did Bowen break through Liaodong?"

Guo Jia's words successfully stopped Xun Yu.

He looked up at him in a daze, and said immediately, "What do you think of Bowen? You sneakily captured Liaodong before the New Year's Eve?"

"Huh? Did you forgive him?"

Guo Jia frowned.

Didn't you talk about Xu Zhen every day for the sake of the "gentleman who keeps the fragrance"?

And for the past six months, they have been called by bicycles and bicycles, and they refuse to call him Bowen.

"Hey, don't bring this up again." Xun Yu waved his hand, "It's not that he captured Liaodong, but that Wuhuan was going south to plunder the merchants and horses in Jizhou. He was defeated by Gongsun Du and has already retreated to Liucheng."

"I see."

Guo Jia immediately narrowed his eyes and murmured, "This is better than capturing Liaodong."

"good."

Several people walked up again.

Xi Zhicai's face was full of smug smiles. Xu Zhenyue became famous after his meritorious service, and his recommendation achievements in the past have also increased. No matter what, his face is radiant.

Xun Yu went on to say: "The terrain in Liaodong is dangerous. The local people have attached themselves to the Gongsun family for many years and have been greatly favored. Moreover, we know very little about Liaodong."

"If you want to govern, there are certain obstacles. In addition, the sky is high and the earth is far away. If you want to transport food and grass or send troops immediately, there will be difficulties and obstacles."

"For today's plan, it is the best choice to return the governance of Youzhou to the prosperity and prosperity of the time when Liu Yu was there."

"If you can rely on the land of Youzhou in this way, if the power of your neighbors can be stabilized, you can continue to prosper the surrounding land."

"In this way, we can rush to the aid of Liaodong."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai nodded one after another, saying that with prosperity in internal affairs, diligent administration and love for the people, they will collect and rule the people from all over the country, so that they can rush to help Liaodong in the future, and after conquering Liaodong, they can support the governance.

Common prosperity.

"It just so happens that Bowen is still building the Chi Road, which will be passed through in the future. By expelling Wuhuan, the northern border can be kept safe."

While speaking, several people had already arrived at the main hall.

After climbing the stairs, because he was walking in a hurry, he was gasping for breath. As soon as he got to the hall, Cao Cao immediately waved, "Wen Ruo."

"Send food to Youzhou. This year, the whole state will subsidize Youzhou with money and food, allocate money and food to the national treasury, and move people out to the north."

"Within one year, I want Youzhou to return to prosperity!"

"As for how to govern, Zihe and Bowen can think of a way for themselves. The new governor of Youzhou is Zixiu, and let him appoint anyone as he wants. He can mobilize anyone, take [-] tigers, and go to Zhuojun to take up his post."

"Bowen and Zihe will continue to station troops in Youzhou, and I have a secret order for Bowen, if you write it for me."

Xun Yu immediately took a deep breath.

He looked at Cao Cao with great relief. These words summed up almost all of Xun Yu's inner thoughts, so there was no need to say anything else.

Just by listening to Cao Cao's arrangements, he knew that he was going to take the decision straightforwardly, he would not listen to discussion, and there was no need to discuss it.

This is the best way.

"Here!"

Thousands of words, merged into a voice of knowing and responding.

Xun Yu walked up to Cao Cao and wrote a secret order for him. At this moment, there were three Yingshui scholars in the hall, all of whom were Cao Cao's confidantes.

After listening to the secret order, they all showed strange colors.

Xun Yu said with a little worry: "Although Bo Wen is good at deploying troops, but... I am afraid that he is still a little eager to capture Liucheng and expel Wuhuan within this year."

"It only needs to frighten the border. Now we have to prepare military resources for going south. There are constant spies from the north and the south, spying on each other's intelligence."

"If the war continues in the north and Wuhuan invades the border, it doesn't matter if the army wins. Once the army is defeated, it will arouse the hearts of the foreigners on the border to cause chaos."

"I don't think so," Xi Zhicai stood with his hands behind his back with a serious face, "The husband and the warrior make good use of the terrain and weather, and match people with harmony. The reason why the lord issued this secret order is because Bowen has united with Liaodong, so that Gongsun fight with it.”

"In this way, we will get a boost to jointly attack Wuhuan."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately he laughed, pointed at Xun Yu and said, "Look, if the internal affairs document understands my mind, then the military annals understands my mind."

"Although Feng Xiao understands it, he doesn't like to quarrel and discuss. He just watches from the sidelines and is always ready to praise me with a word."

Guo Jia smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"Zhicai is right," Cao Cao nodded, "Bowen is already familiar with Liaodong, and Gongsun Du's protection of merchants and horses is just trying to curry favor with Bowen."

"So, it's best for Bowen to send troops."

"The best cavalry in the world is in the north, and the best cavalry in the north is in Bowen."

"Wuhuan is a horseback clan. It was Gongsun Zan's white horse that frightened them many years ago, but now Bowen's cavalry is even stronger than the white horse."

"Only he can control Wuhuan in the north, and since Gongsundu is willing to support, it means that at least the generation of Gongsundu and Gongsunkang will not rebel. I have at least 20 years to slowly regain Liaodong."

Here, Cao Cao thought it was like a tasteless rib, and it would be a pity to discard it if it was tasteless to eat, but it could be used as a barrier against foreign invaders, so he didn't intend to hand it over to others.

Gongsun must be replaced, 20 years is enough, or within these 20 years, he himself will understand the mystery, and instead take the initiative to ask for another place.

"Bowen and Zihe did a good job this time, and they should be credited. Last night, Zihe also handed over a large map of Liaodong to me, which can be continuously improved within a year."

"This year, the war in the north will depend on Bowen."

Cao Cao's face was determined, just at this moment Xun Yu had prepared the secret order, handed it to the commander of the guards himself, and sent someone to deliver it to Xu Zhen, and the letter arrived in Zhongshan, Jizhou within three days.

Before arriving in Youzhou, he had already encountered Xu Zhen's army.

He went south with thousands of Qingqi, and returned to Jizhou to manage the government. After the beginning of spring, he saw the situation and knew Gongsundu's decision, so Xu Zhen returned.

The next thing is to wait for the arrival of winter, when the river freezes to attack Liucheng, beheading Wuhuan Shanyu, if luck is good this year, maybe Ta Dun and Yuan Xi can meet.

One is the new Shanyu of the Wuhuan tribe, one is a lone wolf outside, and the other is the orphan of the Yuan family, so he should be regarded as a lone wolf.

"Cheqi, this is the prime minister's secret letter. Before it can be released, I have to order the show and wine. Please have tens of thousands of people in Youzhou. Even if you are invincible, you can still be deterred."

"Haha, okay, I see."

Xu Zhen nodded immediately and smiled cheerfully.

After the sergeant finished speaking, he bowed and saluted, looked at Xu Zhen with deep admiration, then turned around and mounted his horse to leave.

After he left, Dian Wei dismounted from his horse, and together with Xu Zhen went to the side of the mountain road near the grass to release water, and sighed, "Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Tell us not to go back, and stay in Youzhou, and even say that we can be intimidated by victory, tsk, are you expecting us to lose?"

Just as Xu Zhen was about to turn around, Dian Wei hurriedly yelled a few times, "Hey! Just say what you say, don't turn around!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and peeked a few times, then moved to the far right, and after shaking himself up, he lifted up his pants comfortably.

Xu Zhen's solemn voice came slowly.

"This is to let us stand up to the north and protect the peace of the state. We must use our determination to stabilize the hearts of the people and show it to the people of the world and the scholars of Youzhou. I guess the next step is to invite the people to move north with money and food from the whole country."

"The prime minister also knows that by making Youzhou prosperous and benefiting the border, it will not be too difficult to connect Liaodong in the future."

"It's really a bit urgent now, but fortunately, the two generations of the Gongsun family can guard for another few decades."

Dian Wei and Xu Zhen walked on the grass, making a slight creaking sound, "Decades?"

He looked up in surprise, and followed Xu Zhen's footsteps, "Then how old am I? Besides, I can't have been guarding Youbeiping in the north all these years, right?"

Dian Wei has already complained quite a bit, not to mention that other soldiers, going on an expedition to Wuhuan, will damage their morale, and if they win, everything will boost them. If they lose, they will have to recuperate for several years in the future.

However, recuperation can maintain the health of soldiers, but it is not good to think about losing the military power of ever-victorious.

"Hey, Your Majesty."

"Call Cheqi," Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him, why everyone knows to change their words, but you are the only one who refuses to change it!
"Oh, I'm too lazy to change it, I've been used to it for so many years," Dian Wei said carelessly, "Marquis Che."

Xu Zhen: "..."

Why don't you call Junqi?
"Hey, Junhou, this is not another trick of the Cao family, let us stay in this barren border of Youzhou, and create chaos. They went south to get meritorious service to fix Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then plan to kill you? "

Dian Wei himself didn't understand these words, he only had loyalty and fighting in his mind.

He was the first person to follow Xu Zhen's side, and the relationship between life and death has superimposed countless layers.

After ten years of life and death, he never considered leaving Xu Zhen, and regarded Xu Zhen's life and death more important than himself.

This thought, as well as these worries, must have been instilled in him by a sacrificial drinker who was running with him.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Dian Wei was also worried that they would do this. There is a folk saying that "killing donkeys by removing mills and tearing down bridges across rivers".

Xu Zhen pursed her mouth unconsciously, took a breath, and then said calmly: "Impossible, don't make wild guesses like this, it's just that the lord believes that I can win Liucheng."

"This battle is definitely difficult for others to fight, but it is best for me to come. Zilong has the experience of killing Wuhuan. He was transferred from Jizhou to Youzhou. He will kill him this winter."

Dian Wei scratched his head, and asked in a daze, "Then where are you going now?"

"Go back to Jizhou, do something big!" Xu Zhen got into the carriage with his hands behind his back, mysteriously and without saying a word, let Dian Wei sit in the driver's seat, and drove Su Wei, who was originally the driver, to ride the horse, and he pushed aside curiously The door curtain poked his head in, "What a big deal?"

"The concubine's room is happy, are you satisfied?"

Xu Zhen said with a cold face inside.

"Tsk."

Dian Wei put down the curtain of the car boredly, and drove the horse for Xu Zhen, he didn't care at all, he didn't say anything if he didn't want to, what did he mean.

It's not a big deal to make the concubine's room happy, women are just companions, relying on me to wait for men to live!

snort!
I don't need to be coaxed at home.

……

Jizhou, Qinghe County.

In the inner city of Qinghe County, the huge vacant land of the ancestral houses of various noble families is a large area of ​​houses, but in the past few years, they were all forcibly demolished by Xu Zhen.

The stone slabs and stone foundations are left behind, and it is still an area used to build residential areas. It is not turned into residential buildings, nor cultivated into cultivated land, and there is no trench to drain water through it, so that there is a river in the inner city.

However, the people of Tiangongyuan have been working here for a year, and they have built a very tall pavilion.

Covering an area of ​​more than [-] feet horizontally and vertically, it is shaped like several corners and prisms, layer by layer, up to thirteen floors, nearly ten feet high, forming a landscape.

People in the outer city often see it, and they all speculate about what kind of building is being built. Some say it is for the rulers and rulers to see the magnificent scenery of the Qinghe River, while others say it is the armory where the Tibetan army is prepared.

Some people say that it is the new courtyard of Tiangongyuan, and some ingenious creations of heaven should be made in it.

There are different opinions, no one really thinks about it, and the officers and soldiers in the army are extremely strict, but they can be seen from a distance, and they can't get close to them, and they will be driven away
I am afraid that this pavilion tower will not be known until Xu Zhen returns.

As the discussion among the common people gradually increased, and the gentry also talked about it day and night, this tower attracted more and more attention. Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng, Cui Lin and others were often asked about it.

They all smiled wryly and shook their heads, not knowing what they meant.

"Master's thoughts, how can I guess?" Jia Xu came to ask again today, and even rubbed his chin to guess for a long time.

But Zhuge Liang still shook his head and said nothing.

Jia Xu always felt that it was this kid who refused to speak, but in fact, as a disciple, he really didn't understand at all.

"Zhuang Xian, didn't Che Qi tell you?"

Jia Ji quickly bowed, "Father, I really didn't say that this tower is probably a place where Che Qi followed the example of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Xi to build ordnance."

"No," Zhuge Liang shook his head immediately, "You're not right. Based on what I know about Master, this tower must have been used for ingenuity, like the Tower of Picking Stars, or it's a place where you can see astrology, which is good for fortune-telling."

It can't be to let the teachers and wives live in, and then let those Goguryeo slaves and maids in the mansion live in, right?
Living in such a pavilion, can you see the magnificence of Qinghe from a distance in the future?
Heaven!

Zhuge Liang's heart trembled suddenly, feeling that it was really possible...

"Do you really believe that Cheqi has the ability to tell fortunes?" Jia Xu turned around suspiciously, and looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief.

It's just you two, master and apprentice, who always like to play mysteries and control people's hearts.

"Hey, I'll know when I get back from the car. After the beginning of spring, spring farming in various places is going on as usual. According to the previous progress, it should be almost here."

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, a white-robed sergeant appeared in the distance, dismounted at the gate, strided in, clasped his fists at several people, and said, "The chariots and riders have arrived at the camp outside Qinghe, three military advisers are invited to go."

"This is it!?"

Several people suddenly had an accident, according to the journey, it shouldn't be so early, they should be one step ahead, and arrived early.

But I don't know why, maybe there is a big event to discuss in advance.

"Go to the barracks first, and prepare the horse immediately."

"Here!"

……

Inside the military camp.

Xu Zhen asked people to load more than 30 truckloads of goods, but the people who came behind couldn't see what it was.

When Zhuge Liang arrived, it was almost finished.

"Master!"

Zhuge Liang hadn't seen him for half a year, and he missed him very much. He immediately came forward and hugged Xu Zhen's shoulders, smiling very brightly.

The relationship between the two is half brothers, and half father and son.

What's more, under Xu Zhen's words and deeds, imprinted in Kong Ming's heart as a teacher who learned first, and there is deep emotion in the respect.

"It's finally back."

"Jizhou Spring Plowing, of course I have to come back. I am going to count the grain and wait for the autumn harvest. This year, in the spring, summer and autumn, I will not go anywhere except Bingzhou!" Xu Zhen smiled cheerfully.

He also greeted Jia Xu and Jia Zhuangxian.

Looking at the towering towers in the city, he immediately smiled, "It's really majestic."

"Master, what exactly is Xiu here for?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.
