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

Chapter 289 Cao Ren Promised, What Matters to Cao Cao?

Although Cao Cao is surrounded by old acquaintances and confidantes at this moment.

But it is estimated that this is the first time for everyone to see this situation, and they have made meritorious service and resigned from office.

For thousands of years, there are only a few.

Maybe there will be some acceptance in the stories of those great sages in the Spring and Autumn Period, but if you meet such a person in reality, or you have already broken your heart, then you are really responsible for being an official, and there are not many requirements .

Of course, if according to Xu Zhen's statement, he has managed Jizhou to be extremely prosperous, and now he is going to govern relatively chaotic and desolate places such as Bingzhou and Youzhou, it shows that he is too considerate of the world.

It seems that Youzhou was exchanged for Jizhou.

In fact, the annual harvest is at least five times different.

It can be seen how terrible Xu Zhen's harvest in Jizhou is. Under such circumstances, if he is a little bit greedy for ink, it will be enough for future generations to enjoy glory and wealth.

Not to mention, how much money does his Tiangongyuan make every year.

In this way, Xu Zhen is equivalent to leading [-] soldiers and horses on the main battlefield, which can be hoarded near Xu Zhen's fief Shucheng, and can go south from Hefei's land road at any time to attack Jiangdong.

Zixiao promised, but I didn't.

The two met in a hurry and were immediately detained. After thinking hard, Cao Cao gave Xu Zhen an order to enter the main camp as a military adviser. Jia Xu, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao returned to Jizhou to preside over the change of defense. matter.

Seven days later, the Jizhou garrison sent a letter.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xu Huang and others felt reluctant to part with it, but they couldn't imagine what Xu Zhen really wanted in his heart, so of course they couldn't part with their interests.

"I don't want to give up, I can't ask for it," Xu Zhen stared seriously at Jia Xu's eyes, and explained: "Mr. Wenhe may not understand, the more waste is left, the more I can gain. In Jizhou, I don’t need to sit in the town to harvest every year step by step, and how much I lose every year invisibly.”

……

It's too difficult to draw conclusions, I really don't know how they can often draw conclusions, especially Guo Fengxiao and others.

I really shouldn't be here. I should just go to patrol the camp.

Xu Zhen's words really silenced the people around him.

Jia Xu came back to his senses, smiled and cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm afraid there won't be more than 1000 people leaving."

The reason why Xu Zhen's position is stable is because he is really too sensible and knows how to give up Jizhou at the right time.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others immediately took half a step back, their faces secretly full of disgust.

"Eh……"

"Hey, it's just a bet..."

The corner of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched after reading the reply, and he glanced fiercely at Jia Xu, his face full of disgust.

"Think twice, Che Qi!"

Xu Zhen smiled and nodded immediately, "No way, Cai Mao himself seeks peace, just like the gentry in Jingzhou, he only wants to settle down to continue the incense, so that the family's glory can be passed on, what he wants is a title."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the entire military tent was full of laughter.

"Transferred, prepare to go back."

Well, there are many meritorious deeds in the south, and the deeds are used to do these things. You are worthy of it, Cheqi.

Jia Xu:"……"

The rest of the gentry can not move, mainly because the Liu family cannot be in Jingzhou, and the person who will be stationed here in the future must be the general of the Cao family.

"Then it will be difficult for others. I only know how to farm and make money..." Xu Zhen muttered.

"This time Cai Mao surrendered, there will be no more fraud, right?"

Xu Zhen gave Jia Xu a blank look again, and said: "For the sergeants who have been dismissed from the army, they will be given enough settling allowances according to their merits and positions in the army, and they will be given land according to the number of people in their families."

Now as a farmer in Jizhou, you can have food and clothing and have surplus food. What's so good about being a soldier, you have to go to the battlefield to fight at any time.

There are not so many saints in this world.

But if it is clear and dark, it is not impossible.

Cao Cao's words are enough to show that he is deeply worried because of this.

Therefore, Xu Zhen's other soldiers and horses were mobilized, and he entrusted Jia Xu with many major and minor matters. After changing defenses in Youzhou, he first focused on the military and political affairs of Bingzhou. , Shipped in batches to Bingzhou for stockpiling.

"Zixiao, when he agreed to Cai Mao's surrender, he promised to make them hereditary."

Anyway, I don't care, pick up Jizhou for nothing, don't don't want it for nothing, if you tell the other clan generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family at this time, your face will burst into laughter.

……

"That's great. You and Bing are not as rich as Jizhou, but they are enough to raise troops. They are well guarded and not easy to be captured. You don't have to feel sad about them."

But Cao Cao just couldn't figure out why he had to change like this.

"In a few years, Jiangdong will definitely be conquered, and taking advantage of this opportunity, I will also stabilize Xiliang and other places, and pave the way for my lord to conquer Sichuan and Shu in the future."

Your Tongque Terrace is in Jizhou, don’t you want it?

Cao Cao gave him a hard look, and strode ahead. After walking for a while, Cao Ren came up again, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is there a celebration banquet tonight?"

Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and other civil and military personnel were left to assist Xu Zhen, and they left after the war in the south was settled.

If you plan to do this all the time in the future, the way you will go will be even more outrageous.

Similarly, Gao Shun's Sword and Shield Cavalry also stayed in the south.

At night, Jia Xu left.

"My lord, I have to go now. The Southern Expedition has been decided, and Jingzhou must surrender. As long as we slowly march into Jiangdong, train the sailors, and be careful about attacking, Jiangdong will be settled sooner or later. What's more, there is an important chess piece I left for the lord. , it must be usable."

"To gamble or not?" Jia Xu said with a smile. In the past, Xu Zhen said this to him, but Jia Xu never answered.

A person who does not seem to have a great dedication, has been pursuing such a thing, but on the surface he is still decisive and enjoys a high reputation, then he is not considered great.

"I said I tried my best..."

Your Wanjuan Bookstore is going to move to Youzhou together?
Or build another huge pavilion on the site of Yijing?
Of course, Cao Ren couldn't figure it out either. He blinked and stared at Xu Zhen blankly, another knot in his heart, who the hell is this? !
He asked for merit, but I thought it was just for rewards or titles. Although it has already been added to ten thousand households, it can continue to be added.

All the civil and military people present believed that as long as Xu Zhen went to Youzhou, he would definitely be able to bring up Youzhou's harvest. He had such an ability.

"Go, go, I will write to the emperor today and ask him to change it for you, you change it! If you have the ability, you go to Youzhou and take down Puyu and Goguryeo. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty will remember you!"

"Berwen, you have to figure it out."

"Well said, well said! He agreed! What does it have to do with me, hahaha!!!"

For people with foreign surnames to hold great power, Xu Bowen alone is enough, and it is absolutely difficult to suppress if there are too many.

"What the fuck!! Everyone is doing their job, just won Nanyang, isn't there a busy schedule?! Can't you let your hearts wander!?"

"When the soldiers and horses occupy the main roads in various places, they will be appointed directly. Cai Mao and I are not close or related, so why should we care about his thoughts?"

In my 30s, it's time to rest.

One billion, that is one hundred million...

I'm still trying to persuade you, who the hell!
What should I advise him to do? !

If it is the satisfaction of making profit for the people, Che Qi is not such a great person, it doesn't look like it.

According to common sense, tens of thousands of people will resign from military service, either change the barracks or return to the fields.

I just said where did you get the confidence, I knew I would have gambled with you, and rounded up, I lost another billion.

Don't think that Cao Cao was angry when he heard that that day, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt very relieved.

When Xu Zhen went to Xiangyang, Jingzhou with the army, Cao Cao specially called him to the carriage where he was riding, and deliberately asked him for advice.

"If you follow the rounding principle, you will lose almost one billion yuan every year."

Unexpectedly, it was because of merit that he resigned from the position of Jizhou Mu.

"Not really."

If he is so cruel to himself, then Xu Bowen is really not to be messed with. He is either a saint or a lunatic.

"450 seven people left the army..."

Kill him, okay? !
This makes you say...

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

Cao Cao asked solemnly.

"I'm afraid Jizhou can't do without a car."

"After the transfer, because Youzhou wants to switch defenses with Zixiu, I have to go back and ask the lieutenants if there are any who don't want to stay away from Jizhou, sign up in advance and be assigned to Cao Ang's army."

After all, he is far away from his homeland. Of course, only Xu Zhen can be so magnanimous. It is impossible for other generals to let the lieutenants leave. They usually take away the garrison first, wait for a few years to recruit troops, and then dismiss the veterans. return home.

Xu Zhen looked a little confused, and asked curiously, "Why did you say that?"

"what?!"

"8000 people are actually not too many. This must be Cheqi's achievements over the years, which is admirable. If it were another state shepherd, there would be tens of thousands of people who left just because of transfer."

"Only because of this point, the Liu family will not easily hand over the military power in their hands. In the future, Jingzhou will grow stronger, and he can turn against him at any time. Liu Cong is still young, so that's all. If he grows up, he will be a sage with good martial arts and martial arts , the population will change in the future, and the masters will change, who can know the future? Isn't Jingzhou always a hidden danger..."

"It made my blood boil..."

Cao Cao grabbed Xu Zhen's shoulders, and the iron-like muscles inside the robe were painful, "Is no one forcing you?"

My brain doesn't feel very bright.

"You need to plan far, not just the current situation."

It also makes sense.

Xu Zhen is numb, and swears to make a bet with me there, how can no more than 1000 people have the nerve to say so old.

How did this get in and out?
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, what does this harvest refer to?fame?wealth?Or connections or friendship?
The old man asked himself that he already knew a lot about riding, but maybe he didn't know what this harvest was all his life.

The key is to be afraid of Uncle Dian. Over the past few years, Kong Ming and Uncle Dian have basically not changed at all, and he will always mention things about Wancheng at that time.

"Bowen, think twice."

Is it really that generous? !

"It's not too troublesome, brother Zixiao's promise, what's the matter with Lord Guan? Wait for the soldiers and horses to enter Xiangyang City, and then change them to Qingzhou."

"How is it possible, 30 soldiers and horses, [-] were transferred from Bingzhou, and the rest have to keep their homeland no matter what, some of them have old mothers at home."

"Nanzheng made a lot of achievements, so don't worry about it, and the merits and demerits will be offset in the end."

"Hey, this old man is going to get them ready, give them money and food, and make sure they are ready for dismissal."

In recent years, Jizhou has traded and traded for grain, traveling north and south, and has become very prosperous. In the four large granaries built in various places, there are enough grain hoarding warehouses with millions of stones.

Cao Ren had nothing to say, only a simple word of persuasion.

Jia Xu didn't admire Guo Jia's conclusions and always guessed correctly, but admired him for always being wrong, and how he could continue to make conclusions leisurely and calmly, without the slightest bit of shame.

Jia Xu is not afraid of his master, his master is quite a good person now and respects the elderly.

This time the old boy actually took the initiative to say this, Xu Zhen of course didn't answer, "I don't gamble, I trust your judgment."

The gain he was talking about was substantial money gain, or his own inner satisfaction...

Also, the more things I have to pay, the more my heart flutters... I really want to find a hammer to beat you to death.

What you want is your own personal harvest, or you want a hereditary replacement for your son, so that your Xu family can last forever, even if Xu Zhen dies in the future, you still have the title to take care of the family.

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard it, and asked helplessly: "Will you be scolded for doing this... This is not fun to do, Che Qi, during the transfer of officials, how much merit does it take to smuggle millions of stones of grain and grass?" Can I get it back?"

Xu Zhen returned to his camp and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What fun should..."

Jia Xu came forward and asked, "Cheqi, what's the matter?"

Even if I agree, the emperor may not agree. He will send Liu Cong and others to Xudu first on the grounds of missing his clan relatives, and then to Qingzhou.

……

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Bowen!"

The military advisers from all over the world all chattered and glanced at Jia Xu.

What Xu Zhen wants is tranquility.

How can ordinary people have such pride, of course, to put it bluntly, it is how can they be so thick-skinned.

Except for a word of envy, I really can't say anything else.

As for Ryoko...that's all, I don't have the same knowledge as him.

To come to power.

That night, Xu Zhen set off with his troops, while Cao Cao was receiving letters from Cai Mao's vanguard to manage and surrender from various places in Jingzhou.

He now specifies in his mind what is the matter.

These people should have returned home a long time ago, and after leaving, they have relieved a lot of burdens, otherwise they would have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

"You..." Cao Cao wanted to speak several times, but he didn't think of what to say, so he stretched out his hand and patted Xu Zhen's shoulder, and then gave a thumbs up, "You are noble."

It's too cruel.

And according to his nature of working day and night, devoting himself to the devil, there will only be more and more.

Jia Xu was sweating profusely, his old face was flushed, and he greeted the left and right civil and military officials with a sneer. Except for Zhuge Liang who had never heard of him laughing all the time, the others were more face-saving.

Can all the soldiers and horses recruited by Jizhou follow you to Youzhou?Of course not, it means that I have to lay off tens of thousands of troops and entrust them to General Cao.

Alas.

"Well, but hasn't Jingzhou been in the hands of Mrs. Liu?"

"Tsk," Jia Xu bowed her head in shame under countless gazes, and will not pretend to be aggressive next time.

Cao Cao: "..."

Here Cao Ren sighed deeply, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xu Zhen shook his head bitterly, "You know me, I like to go to busy places, work day and night, the more things I have to do, the more disturbed I am, I wish I could be packed with more than a dozen things every day, My lord, please fulfill me."

Cao Ren grew resentful, turned his head to look at Xu Zhen resentfully, almost slapped himself, asked someone else to ask, why did he ask these questions by himself.

Xu Zhen was indeed very benevolent to the soldiers in the army, so most of the [-] soldiers had already suffered from old diseases, or were too old to fight again.

"Berwen, you are still the bad guy."

After Xu Zhen smiled lightly, he shook his head with a slightly bitter face, "It's because of helplessness, General Cai Mao will understand."

"Or, from now on, train another navy general, and it doesn't matter if General Cai Mao doesn't understand it."

Xu Zhen said pointedly.
