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

Chapter 39 This kind of character, you must take a look

The banquet was very long. From the main hall of the government office to the courtyard, Liu Bei and many famous people in Xuzhou were in the main hall. Cao Cao even pulled him to his left-hand seat.

Serve as a guest.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao laughed cheerfully, "I thought, Xuande, you came to help Xuzhou resist our army. I didn't expect that you would abandon the dark and turn to the bright early. It really makes sense."

"On the way here, I was really worried that the people of Xuzhou would be in chaos due to the war, but along the way, after hearing Cao Gong's strategy, I felt ashamed and dared not be an enemy again."

Liu Bei did not show the fake expression of rabbit death and fox sadness, his face was still calm, and he said straightforwardly: "In troubled times, I really don't know what is right or wrong, but I understand that if you help the Han, it is right, and there is nothing wrong with loving the people."

"Since Mr. Cao has such a heart, it is of course commendable not to vent his anger on the people when his family members are attacked. However, Mr. Tao is ignorant and greedy for profit. The consequences are like this now, God wills."

"This is God's will, and it must not be violated."

Liu Bei raised his glass and said, "It's just that I can't congratulate you happily. I hope Mr. Cao will forgive me."

"Oh? Why?" Cao Cao's expression became serious, and he kept staring at Liu Bei. He always felt that if a person had sharp eyes, he would always use this to see through people's hearts.

After all, it can make the person facing it show timidity.

But Liu Bei was not timid, and said with a bitter smile, "It's still the same as before."

"The princes of the alliance have the fame accumulated by their ancestors in the world, and they also have power and connections, but they are always fighting each other and competing with each other endlessly."

"For example, Tao Gong wanted to take Cao's family property in vain to strengthen himself. Even if he couldn't take it himself, he didn't want to see Cao Gong get such a huge fortune."

"How sad it was to cause this disaster."

"Looking at the pre-Qin period, when there were hundreds of kingdoms and families, many duchies perished due to weakness. Now the Han princes are not weaker than they were back then. There are many talents and heroes everywhere, but they fall apart because of this."

"How ironic."

Only the Han Dynasty ruled because of its strength, and the princes fought each other endlessly.

I don't know how many years it will take to end.

"That's true!" Cao Cao immediately looked away, he knew that there was no timidity on Liu Bei's face.

The two of them.

Cao Cao is good at attacking, mainly attacking the mind.

And Liu Bei is good at hiding, mainly hiding his heart.

Although he couldn't see it, Cao Cao knew in his heart that Liu Xuande, who once claimed to be a descendant of the Han family, had exactly the same aspirations and thoughts as when he met him many years ago, and had never changed.

And these years, I have been working on it and never slack off.

How terrifying is the determination of such people.

Speaking of being determined, the young boy in Juancheng suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's mind, so the corner of his mouth unconsciously smiled.

"To this day, if we can solve the civil strife, rescue the emperor, and welcome him into the court, I, Cao Cao, are still willing to be a general who conquers the west and expand the territory for the great Han."

"It's a pity that the troubled times are still there, and there is a long way to go, Xuande, stop wandering around."

"Stay with me for now."

Cao Cao smiled and said, in his opinion, celebrities like Liu Bei have really achieved "famousness among the princes" through their own efforts these years, and all the princes of the Central Plains have heard of his reputation.

Moreover, the people in the places he served have accumulated excellent word-of-mouth reputations, and the attachment of such people to his subordinates is a kind of guidance in itself for the people with lofty ideals in the world.

Maybe more people will join the ranks because of this.

In the end, I achieved what I wanted in my heart-inclusive of all rivers.

It would be an unprecedented spectacle.

"If Cao Gong is willing to take him in, he will do his best. He is also a Han subject. Although he is not humble, he is willing to do his part to welcome the emperor."

"In that case, thank you Mr. Cao for taking me in."

Liu Bei didn't shirk, he stood up and bowed deeply, his expression was quite moved.Under Cao Cao's command, because of his current reputation and momentum, there must be many people who come to join him.

In the future, he may make many friends. Liu Bei is not worried about his safety. Cao Cao will not kill famous people now. He is not what he used to be, so the princes always cherish their feathers.

So it's good to live here temporarily, and then try to develop.

Cao Cao looked at him again, and drank the fine wine in the wine cup.

Both of them understand in their hearts that you can gain fame, I can develop contacts, and we all have a bright future, and some things are as good as they go.

Everything will have to wait for a later date.

"Okay, after dealing with Xuzhou's political affairs, return to Juancheng immediately." Cao Cao gave an order to Wenwu with a deep smile.

Prepare the class teacher to return to Yanzhou.

……

ten days later.

Cao Cao returned to Juancheng.

Xun Yu invited Wen and Wu to meet him ten miles outside the city gate. Cao Ang himself was the first to welcome Cao Cao's victory.

The people lined the streets to welcome them, and celebrated with loud voices in the streets and alleys.

This year, it's really not easy.

After a bumper harvest and full warehouses, there were many wars, and finally a big victory ended.

As if in a dream, Cao Cao really made his fortune and got several counties in Xuzhou to belong to. The two counties are the barrier, and there are millions of people as the people, and the fertile land is thousands of miles away.

A bumper harvest next year seems to be just around the corner.

And the number of soldiers and horses increased by tens of thousands, and all the generals and celebrities came to vote. Compared with Yuan Shao, who was surrounded by disciples from all over the world with a wave of arms, Cao Cao's civil and military side was not easy to come by.

But after all, it is really strong, and it no longer needs Yuan Shao's recommendation to become a state shepherd, but to become a big prince.

Hundreds of generals under his command, more than a dozen famous generals, gathered domestic celebrities and millions of people's hearts, and the development of everything was faster than Cao Cao's imagination.

Even in Xi Zhicai's strategy, it will take five years, at least three years, to achieve success in taking Xuzhou to accumulate military funds.

After Cao Cao came back, he rewarded many people, and also wrote memorials and sent people to Chang'an to ask for letters of appointment for the officials.

Now that he is not comparable to the prefect of Dongjun in the past, Li Jue and Guo Si will not dare to neglect, even if he is trying to please, he will not deliberately make things difficult. Cao Cao's performance will soon be exchanged for an edict appointment.

Juancheng, the inner city mansion.

In front of the gate, a scribe was led by the guard and entered the gate of the mansion.

This mansion is Xu Zhen's residence in Juancheng. After many meritorious deeds, the mansion was greatly enlarged due to Cao Cao's reward, and the walls of the adjacent streets and alleys in the backyard have been demolished.

This scribe is Jian Yong.

Following Liu Bei as a guest at the Juancheng post house, Cao Cao will also give him a house later. After all, Liu Bei came to vote at that time, which can be said to be the last straw that crushed the soldiers and civilians in Xiapi.

Although he has no obvious merits and feels that he has nowhere to go and can only go for refuge, Cao Cao still intends to do it for the world to see.

Those who belong to Cao will have their own glory, wealth and honor, and treat each other with courtesy.

So after arriving in Juancheng for the first time, Jian Yong had been secretly looking for teachers and friends.

He visited many celebrities first, he walked as a Confucian student, and his eloquence and bearing were considered good, so he could get a lot of interviews and conversations.

The last person was Xu Zhen.

I also heard that Xu Zhen's remonstrance played a huge role in this strategy of attacking Xu, so I asked about Xu Zhen's reputation.

Then Jian Yong gradually felt outrageous.

Such a character must be seen.
