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

Chapter 282 It's a good plan now, and it's starting to build momentum

"Wen Ruo...Wen Ruo..."

Cao Cao walked a few steps repeatedly at this moment, and secretly looked at Guo Jia a few more times, but also shook his head secretly after seeing his expression.

When he first heard the words, he thought that Guo Jia was born with jealousy. He only thought that Wen Ruo had been safe and stable all these years, and he had made great achievements through hard work, and his achievements would definitely be higher than his in the future.

No one can compare to Xun Wenruo's position in Prime Minister Cao's heart. Even if Xu Zhen can have the same weight, the form is still different.

However, after thinking about it, it seemed impossible.

Both Bo Wen and Feng Xiao are not people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and Feng Xiao has been willing to be an eagle and dog all these years. He has a high position and authority but is feared by others, and rarely associates with wise men.

In the future, his old age may be spent in solitude after resigning from office, and there are not many people who can go there, just a few people.

On the contrary, there can be friendship with Bowen and Wenruo.

After all, the position of the special school affairs office was given to Feng Xiao, and he had to bear more things than offering sacrifices. Most of them were spies, informers, criminal law and other things. Fengxiao dared not get too close to avoid suspicion and guilt.

And if the law and order are stable and the internal troubles are cleared up, few people will remember his achievements, but they just feel that the prime minister has managed well.

He will not be a jealous person, which means that the words may come from the heart.

"Feng Xiao, are you worried that Bo Wen will become suspicious?"

"At this time, sending officials is to make him suspicious," Guo Jia cupped his hands again, and said sincerely, "Wen Ruo is the only one who can dispel Bowen's suspicion."

"In addition, if Wen arrives in Yecheng, our school affairs office can also be transferred to the school affairs to manage the administration, not to interfere in the internal affairs of Jizhou, just to stabilize the situation in the city, investigate internal traitors, and maintain law and order in this way."

"Um……"

Cao Cao understood that he wanted to use Wen Ruo as a guide to let the school affairs enter Yecheng, but it was still a year before he was named Wei Gong.

If there is no Xun Wenruo in Shangshutai for this year's government, it means that it will be entrusted to Zhicai and other internal affairs ministers.

However, there are also a few people who can take on this role, such as Zhong Yao and Xun You. These are great Confucianists who are talented in governing the country. They have their own ways to stabilize the prosperity of the government.

In this case, the government can still be managed, but Jizhou can intervene in some school affairs, and gradually be able to transfer people to Bowen's side.

According to common sense, it is time to consider this matter.

Cao Cao has three things about Xu Zhen now, never wanting to speak up has affected the relationship between each other, and later discovering that it's not because he didn't want to, but actually he didn't dare to speak up.

One is the proton matter, let him send his son Xu Xiao to Xudu, enter the Taixue as a hostage, and grow up under Cao's teaching. This is what foreign princes should do, but Cao Cao has never said it out, but His son is still young, and there is still room for a few years to turn around.

The second is the recruitment of soldiers and horses. There are more and more soldiers in Jizhou, and the recruitment is extremely enthusiastic every year. From only 8 people back then, it has now reached 30.

Moreover, Bingzhou is still constantly recruiting soldiers and horses. This power was completely ignored at the beginning and was given to Yu Bowen, but now he dare not take it back.

The only way to make plans is to sit down with Xu Zhen and discuss this matter carefully when the Southern Expedition is victorious, the Divine State of the World is in your hands, and the Central Plains is completely stable.

The third thing is this matter of civil and military matters. Whether it is internal affairs or military affairs, none of Xu Zhen's important people is loyal to him, Prime Minister Cao.

They just respect, respect.

But if it is a real order, his order as the prime minister may not be more effective than Xu Bowen's military order.

"Feng Xiao's words like this, I think you have thought about it for a long time, haven't you?"

"That's right. It's only now that I dared to say that Bowen is powerful, but he has no other intentions, but he is still powerful. How can he not be afraid in the future generations? It would be good if he was not allowed to lead the army back then."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, feeling somewhat regretful at this time.

If he doesn't lead the army, why would he be troubled now, if he is willing to let him hand over the general power to others, who would be willing to have so many strong generals under his command?
Not to mention Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and others, Dian Wei might be the first to jump out and scold, and then die generously for Bowen.

He must be able to do this kind of thing, this is not recklessness, but not afraid of death, a real person who is not afraid of death, can help Bowen fight his way out of a complicated situation, and at that time, with Dian Wei Because of fate, it is impossible to turn around.

Well, Bowen is someone who dares to sacrifice.

These hidden dangers and conflicts cannot be intensified. The Jizhou faction must gradually take it softly, waiting for each other to eliminate their defensive thoughts under the temptation of each other.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao immediately chose to agree, and nodded solemnly, "I will keep the words of Fengxiao in my heart. If this is the case, I will transfer the order from Caicai to Wenruo and let him go."

"At the same time, you follow me to see Bowen first."

"Here!"

Guo Jia was very happy, and immediately bowed.

There was a smile on his face, and when he was walking behind Cao Cao, he breathed a sigh of relief without him noticing.

It was much easier to solve this matter first, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would refuse directly, and there would really be no room for maneuver.

In the future, we will need to find another opportunity to do this layout.

He doesn't ask for many achievements in this layout, but he hopes that everyone can be saved.

……

A few days later, on the road to Runan, Xu Zhen came ahead of time, riding here alone, and met Cao Cao.

At this moment, after seeing the soldiers and horses of the army, he immediately called him into the spacious carriage and said in a deep voice.

After explaining the current situation in full, Xu Zhen immediately looked resentful after listening to it, "Is this the only thing?"

"It's enough to write a letter, why bother to march south in advance, and even specially summon me here."

"I can't help it. I don't know all kinds of internal situations. I have to wait for you to explain what kind of strategy it is. Make it clear and don't make any more mysteries."

Cao Cao stared at Xu Zhen seriously. He couldn't guess what he was thinking these years, so the problem was not a big one, but now it's better to ask him directly.

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, probably feeling what Cao Cao meant, and he didn't seem to be very patient recently.

I don't know if I have something on my mind, but it's better not to provoke him, so I got closer, stared at Cao Cao, smacked my lips, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, I got the news that Cai Mao had embezzled a lot of food from Liu Bei. Liu Bei certainly doesn't know each other, if the current situation is going to add fuel to the flames, the best thing is to make this matter public."

"Hmm..." Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

Silent for a long time, still thinking about Xu Zhen's words, "Cai Mao..."

Xu Zhen asked tentatively: "No way, have you talked about feelings during this period of time?"

Cao Cao was stunned and looked back, with an expression that couldn't be resisted, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"What kind of feelings can we talk about? Isn't it all about spying on information? Your words are too unreasonable, so you are allowed to write to Xu Yuanzhi's adoptive mother, and I am not allowed to write to Cai Mao, right?"

"No, I'm talking too much, let's get down to business," Xu Zhen continued, "I'm telling you now that it's the three people who pushed."

"Liu Bei is bound to fight in anger, and the conflict between Liu Biao and Cai Mao will break out. How can the Cai family be slaughtered? Naturally, it is a mess."

"Even if Liu Biao rectifies this matter and suppresses the Cai family, his condition will get worse soon."

Cao Cao nodded solemnly, and his words were reasonable. This way, Jingzhou could be plunged into complete chaos.

Liu Biao himself was already old and ill, and he was no longer able to take charge of so many things, and he might fall to the ground before the war subsides.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, and Xinye City may not be handed over to us so easily. I guess there may be some tricks. The only thing I can think of is to burn the whole city before leaving. Try to escape for a few days."

"Burning the city and leaving!? He probably wants to take the people and leave. Where is he going? Is there a place for him in Jingzhou?"

"Have."

Xu Zhen nodded resolutely, and met Cao Cao's eyes, "Jiangxia Governor Liu Qi will definitely take Liu Bei in."

"This place should be specially reserved for him by Liu Biao."

"Jiang Xia!" Cao Cao suddenly realized, and looked up at the sky, "My God, there are at least 15 soldiers and horses hoarded there!"

"No wonder, troops have been moving to Jiangxia to garrison all these years, and warships were built to prepare for the war in Jiangdong. It turned out that they were specially reserved for Liu Bei."

"Hmm... so everything is clear now. Liu Biao is so deep in his thoughts. He was planning for his son, and it also gave Liu Bei a way out. All members of the Liu family will definitely do it too. Help each other."

"Okay, don't give them such a chance, let the news out, keep it a little more subtle, and let Cai Mao not notice it for the time being."

"Okay, I know," Xu Zhen nodded in resignation.

"Then, order Cao Ren's army not to enter Xinye completely, and go to the city to test it first, and then enter the city if there is nothing wrong, beware of ambushes in the city."

"Well," Xu Zhen still nodded.

"Well, there is one more thing." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked up at Xu Zhen, and then said, "You are not in Jizhou these days, and I am going to let Wen Ruo go to Yecheng to take charge of the administration first."

"Oh?" Xu Zhen's face was quite astonished, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he froze on the spot, and after looking at each other with a smile for a long time, the smile on his face slowly relaxed from the stiffness.

Xu Zhen went on to say: "That's really great. Brother Wen Ruo upholds justice, treats the people kindly, never cares about sympathy, and is an upright person, just like I am still in Jizhou."

"Hmph, that's right, that's the reason. I was afraid that you might have concerns, so I let Wen Ruo go first. After entering the position of Duke Wei, I will actually move to Yecheng."

"That's right, brother Wen Ruo goes first, it's really the best!" Xu Zhen's face was delighted, his eyes widened, full of joy, "If he goes, all the money, food, government affairs, talents, appointments, removals and promotions in Jizhou can be re-evaluated." Check it out."

"Brother Wen Ruo, I am really willing to part with you. It is really not easy for my lord to let Xun Lingjun go to Yecheng."

Cao Cao smiled, with a slightly satisfied expression, "Naturally, what is the relationship between me and you? Why is Wen Ruo reluctant? Before I left, I had already told Wen Ruo..."

"Wen Ruo never objected. Although he didn't agree, I don't think he meant to object, and he didn't show any displeasure. If Bo Wen wins Wen Ruo, Jizhou will be stabilized."

"Well said!"

Xu Zhen laughed immediately, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first, and the lord has the right to make arrangements. I'm afraid Cai Mao will be sacrificed for this plan. You can tell him in advance, maybe let him...be the first to do it!"

At the end of the Han Dynasty, in the Han court, there were also assassinations and instigation of rebellion. At that time, eunuchs and gentry were often murdered. Now it seems that they are in Jingzhou, and they can return to the situation of the past.

As for Cai Mao, who was also planning in Luoyang at that time, he should know this best. Yuan Shao and General He Jin are all in this list.

Cao Cao chuckled, and then laughed again, as if seeing the past, just like Yuan Shao back then, "There must be something in the dark, Liu Biao is about to die, don't worry, even if he doesn't go to Jingzhou this year, he can let him go." They jump up and down!"

Xu Zhen also smiled and said, "That's right, before our Cao army went south, we already made Jingzhou invincible. This is a powerful victory, how can we be invincible? Taking Jingzhou will surely go smoothly!"

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao squeezed Xu Zhen's arm hard, it was so hard that it hurt, and he said earnestly: "Bowen, I really regret letting you lead the army. If you follow me by my side, it would be nice to make suggestions. How many strategies come from your mouth? Come out, let me be invincible."

"Now the use of troops has broken away from the so-called favorable location and harmony, and has begun to build momentum."

"good."

"My lord taught well!"

Xu Zhen also laughed generously, held Cao Cao's hand tightly, then glanced affectionately, turned around and got out of the carriage, and waited for Cao Cao's carriage to drive away, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Turning over on the back of Chitu's horse, Chitu uttered a high-pitched cry, and galloped away again.

In less than half a stick of incense time, the marching formation has been left far behind, and the red rabbit is still taking the route of crossing mountains and ridges. It is as if walking on flat ground in the mountains and forests, and its speed is not affected at all.

This was caused by Xu Zhen feeding the elixir. Even the lifespan of the red rabbit was extended, and its vitality and sturdiness were far higher than before. After sweating, the blood red color was even more like a raging fire.

Several hours later, Xu Zhen returned to Runan, and asked someone to take Chitu to rest, while he went directly to the main tent.

At this moment, Xu Chu and others were all ready to march, and had studied the marching route with Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, but they received a letter from Cao Ren.

"General Zixiao... Please go to the camp outside Fancheng and take Xinye together with him."

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said.

"Don't go."

Xu Zhen categorically refused, and then Zhuge Liang asked all the generals to urge the army to regroup, leaving Jia Xu alone in the army tent.

Tell the story of meeting Cao Cao today, without hiding anything.

After Jia Xu listened, she fell into confusion and thought, and immediately sighed: "So soon, has it started?"

"Well, it's started."

Xu Zhen nodded solemnly, "What do Wen He think?"

"Well...it depends on whether Cheqi wants to save people."

Jia Xu laughed immediately, "If we want to save people, why don't we try our best?"

"And listen to the order of the chariot."

"I don't want you to show your loyalty. If you don't trust me, will I discuss this matter with you? Kong Ming is not sophisticated enough," Xu Zhen said directly, "I am, and I want my husband to advise me."

"I, I..." Jia Xu suddenly looked distressed, approached Xu Zhen and asked softly, "If something happens in the future, won't you betray me?"

"I really don't sell it!" Xu Zhen stared, "When did I sell you?! Am I that kind of person?!"

"Well, there is also a certain truth."

But not much.

Jia Xu thought for a moment, then said: "Get some merit first, so that the layout can be facilitated."

　Happy New Year everyone, wish an early New Year in advance
