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

Chapter 283 The voice was loud just now, please say

"Well, what does Wenhe mean?"

Xu Zhen's face turned serious. In fact, he could say at that time that he absolutely did not want to make any achievements in Nanzheng. He was just collecting his own rewards.

What Jia Xu meant meant that he really had a strategy. After so long, Xu Zhen knew very well that Jia Xu's temperament was like this. He might not have many strategies, but his thoughts and ideas were always very strange.

There are always a lot of whimsical ideas popping up at some point.

"The chariots and riders have to make achievements in the southern expedition, so that they can ask the prime minister for a reward. This reward is a must. I want to get the official position of governor of Youzhou."

"Youzhou and Bingzhou must have one, or Liangzhou in the future. Liangzhou is close to the former Western Region Protectorate. There are soldiers and horses from dozens of clans roaming the vast wasteland. They have not come to do business for many years."

"As for the north, you can fight against Puyu and Xianbei, and there is also Liaodong and Che Qi. These two places can be used as bases."

"Why?"

Xu Zhen put away his expression and asked in a deep voice.

"That's why the Cao family relies heavily on things. Whether they live in Liangzhou or Youzhou, they must be close to enemies outside the region and guard the gate of the Han Dynasty. The generals guarding the gate must be highly valued and have made great contributions. Both places are better than Jizhou. Much more."

"To be honest, I understand in my heart that the more prosperous and wealthy this Jizhou is, the more reluctant it will be for Junhou in the future, because it is definitely not your territory."

Jia Xu laughed leisurely, "Although the land of Jizhou belongs to the Han Dynasty, it will definitely belong to the Cao clan in the future. The prime minister will never make things difficult for Che Qi, but Wei Gong and Wei Wang will certainly."

Xu Zhen was silent again.

Wei Gong, Wei Wang.

Even the emperors of the new dynasty would definitely not want to have hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers who do not belong to them stationed beside their couch, and their descendants will worry about it in the future. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster.

"Then, what does it have to do with our layout planning?"

Xu Zhen asked a crucial question, and what Jia Xu said had nothing to do with the current layout.

"No," Jia Xu was astonished, and smiled wryly on the spot, "I also paved the road ahead for the car and decided on where to go, and then I can safely and boldly save people."

"Cheqi can be transferred to foreign enemies at the border at will. In the future, he will force officials to come to his side. Wouldn't it be possible to save him?"

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, "It makes sense."

But not much.

The two discussed for another night, thinking a lot, and every possible prediction, future trend, and everyone's location were brought up for discussion.

After a night passed, Xu Zhen issued a few more orders. In addition to continuing to alienate Liu Bei, he decided to go to the camp outside Fancheng himself.

This merit still needs some, he is going to follow Jia Xu's layout, in his words, although the cloth in Jizhou is good, it is not as good as the cattle and sheep in Liangzhou.

Maybe even in Bingzhou, they can enjoy a prosperous life, and after Xiliang is captured, they can directly guard the border and stay away from the imperial court.

If you become a great prince abroad, you can defend one side by supporting your own self-respect. In addition, you will not hand over hostages after you stay away.

Moreover, in the future, you can do whatever you want to do abroad. It will take at least [-] days to arrive just after the emperor's edict. If there are some obstacles in the middle, it will be difficult to arrive in several months.

It would be best to attack Xiliang and occupy the middle of Shu. That would be a peaceful life, and you have to show your submission and support the Cao family.

Set off on the second day, it took six days to march, from Runan to Anding County to stay temporarily and camp outside.

However, the military battle in Wancheng had long since ended, and Zhang Xiu, Marquis of Wancheng, had already occupied most of Nanyang city, occupied all the people from all over the place, gathered them into the city for governance.

When Xu Zhen arrived in Fancheng, he even ordered high-profile actions to let all the soldiers and civilians know, and even announced that Xu Zhen's troops in Jizhou would come to fight in person.

Cao Ren welcomed Xu Zhen into the camp for several miles.

"Berwin came just in time."

On the main seat, Cao Ren glanced around and smiled slightly at Xu Zhen. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they had been exchanging letters. These years were not regarded as enmity, but there was indeed some rift between them.

"Thanks to Bowen's strategy for this southern expedition, I have firmly taken the initiative in Xinye. When Cai Mao's incident is leaked, Liu Bei will be furious. It will not be difficult for our army to advance again, it will be easy. Break down the so-called city walls."

"This is all thanks to Bo Wen."

Xu Zhen looked at it with a faint smile, and shook his head slightly, "I dare not take credit."

"I didn't intend to come," he said sincerely. "Later, I thought about my brother's invitation, so I still want to come in person."

I said...

Cao Ren murmured a few words in his heart. He just received the news the day before yesterday that he was not coming, and he was ready, but now he suddenly said that he would come.

It was also in a hurry, and a guard of honor was specially arranged to welcome Xu Zhen in.

Don't neglect the dignified car and ride, so as not to fall into the trap.

The good thing is that Xu Zhen doesn't compete for merit, and won't fight me when he gets down, which is pretty good. I have good wine and good food to entertain me, and I can let him give me advice by the way.

"Brother Zixiao, why do you want me to come here?"

"One is to boost the morale of the army," Cao Ren said with a smile. He knew that Xu Zhen didn't like to beat around the bush, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and said it directly, "The second is to ask Bo Wen to clear up my doubts."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Zhen asked unexpectedly.

"Why can Bowen predict that Bowangpo will definitely catch fire? And Liu Bei will lay an ambush here."

"Why is that so?"

"Hmm..." Xu Zhen squinted his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I have been in the business for many years, and I already know the terrain of Jingzhou well, and Xu Shu himself is Liu Bei's military adviser, and I countered him and returned to Xudu. If you tell them all, you can naturally understand.”

"I see."

This answer sounded a little disappointing to Cao Ren. He always felt that it was not that simple, and the real situation should be more mysterious, not just a few words of strategy, long-term spying on the layout.

Including the following, the plan to disrupt Jingzhou is also to promote Cai Mao to do things, and how did Xu Zhen know that Cai Mao is willing to do this cruel thing.

It was all very strange, and he was so sure that many things were hard to imagine.

I don't know Bowen's mind, his source of information is deeply envied by the other generals and civil servants, but they are far behind, because they can't think of where to get it.

"Berwen, sure enough, you always act with deliberation."

"However," Xu Zhen changed the subject, and aroused the interest of the civil and military people present. These eyes converged on Xu Zhen's face, and a smile suddenly appeared on Xu Zhen's face. I don't know what he meant by this.

"However, since I'm here this time, I have something to tell Elder Zixiao."

Xu Zhen didn't feel any embarrassment or shyness, and his expression was quite normal.

Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin all looked at each other and looked at each other. Hearing this, they probably wanted to ask for something. After all, they were all veterans, and they weren't just junior officials who had just risen from the army.

"Cheqi, please speak frankly, there is no need to worry, you can tell me what you want, and I will not make excuses."

Cao Ren also turned serious, and even changed his address. Since he wanted something, it was no longer considered a favor, and the two felt more at ease.

Xu Zhen smiled unconsciously, and said with a long sigh of relief: "The merit, the first contribution to the Southern Expedition, is mine, and I will not want it in the future."

"what?"

Cao Ren's face froze, all the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't know what Xu Zhen wanted to do. They said no before, but now they came here to claim the first credit. Although his own merits are indeed all his, these soldiers and generals are just the result of hard work. If it weren't for Xu Zhen, There may be thousands or even tens of thousands more casualties.

However, you are generous and don't want this merit, and we have praised his character for a month or two, and now you suddenly want...

Is it a little unrepentant.

"Why is this?"

"Cheqi, is this..."

"Cheqi, all the lieutenants and commanders in my army know about your deeds, everyone admires you, if..."

Xu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be honorable for you to return it back on your own initiative!?"

You are too deceitful!
Cao Ren clenched his fists.

It's fine if you want to go back, and let me pay it back on my own initiative!Still high wind and bright festival! !
It's not a matter of how much merit you have. It's up to the master to decide who he belongs to. I just need to write down the actual situation of the war and submit it!

Now I say it's all my fault!I'm going to change it to yours immediately!Just kill me!

"As compensation, I have a plan to allow you to directly take down Jingzhou. This is a great achievement!"

"Oh, oh...if that's the case," Cao Ren was about to leave his butt off the futon, but he sat up straight again when he heard this sentence, with neither a smile nor an anger on his face.

It's very aggrieved and weird.

So his face was twitching. Taking the first merit of the Southern Expedition was nothing more than defeating Liu Bei, but how could the merit of Jingzhou be insignificant?
This is the greatest achievement of the real Southern Expedition. Before the Lord's army arrived, our vanguard army had already taken down Jingzhou.

I don't know how many years it will take to write the history of Qing Dynasty.

It is also possible to recite it for decades!
"Bowen, what's the plan?"

"Can you really take Jingzhou directly?"

Xu Huang and Yu Jin also had the same expression as Cao Ren. It wasn't that they didn't believe Xu Zhen, but they believed it too much.

Knowing that since the words came out of his mouth, there must be a plan in his heart, and he must be able to take Jingzhou.

They are all great generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are not willing to show their overly expectant mood just like this.

After all, there should be some tolerance, or magnanimity, everyone is a general, and the military exploits should be earned by themselves, why should they be eaten by others? !
However, the vanguard army directly took Jingzhou!There are too many achievements, and too many reputations, there is absolutely no way to do it!

How can I say no?
Even if, I don't expect anything to belong to the ban, but even if I share a little bit of the ban, it will be enough to eat for many years. Glory to the ancestors!

"Bowen, tell me quickly!"

"Cheqi, although it happened suddenly, this work is indeed yours. What the last general means is that you don't need to come here to talk to us!" Xu Huang was full of righteousness, with a serious expression, and clasped his fists at Xu Zhen, The face is quite enthusiastic.

"You came here to tell us that, you're making me wait!!!"

Xu Huang cupped his fists and bowed again, stood up straight, his eyes sparkling, "The last general was taught by Che Qi in Xudu, and learned a lot of ways to lead troops!"

"How can you talk too much at this time, the first merit is originally for Che Qi, General Che Qi! Well deserved!"

Cao Ren froze for a moment, looked back at him several times, his scalp felt numb for a while, his lips twitched several times, but he didn't have the nerve to speak.

You're right, I'm really speechless, and I'm even close to paying homage to Xu Zhen's early years on the spot.

After hearing this, Xu Zhen calmed down a little, and felt much more comfortable.

"Since you all have no objections, I will accept this piece of work," Xu Zhen smiled, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"What kind of plan?" Cao Ren asked with concern, "Bowen really thinks that we can get Jingzhou now? Jingzhou still has hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Except for Jiang Xia, they are all available." Xu Zhen stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "There is no need to worry, generals, there is no need to doubt. After the situation advances, Jingzhou will definitely be available."

Although he should have surrendered in the first place, it is not bad to have made such a smooth achievement.

"This……"

Cao Ren and other generals looked at each other in blank dismay, but it was too secretive to say a word.

"Bowen, why don't you reveal it in advance?"

"It's pointless to reveal,"

Xu Zhen smiled, "Brother just wait and see. The merit of taking Jingzhou must be taken by him. As long as you continue to garrison here, you don't want to withdraw at will."

Tsk, still refuse to say.

This kid is playing tricks, but there is nothing he can do about it.

……

Newfield.

Liu Bei heard a rumor, and immediately sent Sun Qian to Xiangyang to inquire. They also have people they know well in Xiangyang, so they can find out the news quickly.

In less than a day, Sun Qian and Jian Yong came back, and Guan and Zhang were also there.

When they entered the main hall, the faces of both of them were as mournful as concubines, wanting to cry without tears.

Even Sun Gan didn't dare to make eye contact with him. Liu Bei knew something bad was going to happen when he saw this appearance, and his heart skipped a beat. Are the rumors true?
"Gongyou! Hurry up and tell me, how's the investigation going?" Zhang Fei asked anxiously, "Don't talk about those nonsense, just tell me, did Cai Mao defraud us of our salary!"

"good……"

Sun Gan froze in shock, and said bitterly.

"Pickled offal, big brother! Can you bear this?" Zhang Fei rushed to Liu Bei, his eyes were bloodshot, he was gasping for breath, and his fists were already clenched.

This is not as simple as not sending troops to support, or even being deceived!

Cai Mao never took them seriously at all, and now the real traitor is this Cai family!
"Brother, you have to ask for an explanation no matter what! This matter must not just go like this!"

"We must make a big fuss! Otherwise, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou will think that we have no shame and have been asking for food! We have not given food these years, and we have been farming by ourselves!"

Zhang Fei was so anxious that he was on the verge of jumping, what he wanted was not to kill Cai Mao, but to explain the truth clearly, even if he was living under the fence, he never kept asking for food and hoarding it shamelessly.

This man lives with a clear heart, Zhang Fei recruited soldiers, trained sergeants, and built weapons and armaments all these years, but he never used Liu Biao's money, he earned it all by himself.

That is, some time ago, he took [-] shi of grain.

The rest were swallowed by Cai Mao.

"If you calculate it, there must be 10,000+ grains. According to Liu Biao, it is enough to hoard tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. We didn't want it! It doesn't matter if you don't kill Cai, and it doesn't matter if you don't argue with Liu Biao. That's the reason, we must say clearly!"

"Brother is a dignified family member of the Han family, the current emperor's uncle, who is a man of gold and gold, must not be wronged and humiliated by the Jingzhou scholars! Such insults must not be tolerated!!"

Zhang Fei was filled with righteous indignation, his face flushed, these words had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

They really couldn't get along with people like Xiangyang in Jingzhou. From the very beginning, the Jingxiang gentry looked down on them at all.
