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

Chapter 96 I'm the Savior, Can I Want It All?

"Eh? What is this for? Our brother Dianwei has made great contributions in Wancheng," Xu Zhen smiled and came forward to help Dianwei up.

This made the words even more embarrassing, Dian Wei immediately lowered his head and muttered, "Don't be ashamed, I almost lost my life."

Xu Zhen glanced at his hands, then at his back, and found that they were empty, so he blinked and asked, "Eh? What about the pair of gold-encrusted halberd handles I gave you earlier?"

Dian Wei was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head up, and muttered in a low voice: "It was stolen, and it is probably still in Wancheng."

After all, he looked up at Xu Zhen in embarrassment.

"Then it must be General Dian who is powerful. He lost all the weapons in his hand, and he can still guard the gate alone! He is worthy of being the No. 1 in the army."

Zhuge Liang took a peek at Dian Wei and found that Dian Wei was also looking at him, so he winked at Xu Zhen's back, urging Dian Wei to speak nice words quickly.

As Xu Zhen's only disciple, Zhuge Liang knew it all too well, and said at this moment that he must make peace.

A few words can bury the hatchet.

You can feel free to lick it boldly!

Dian Wei knew it immediately, and smiled immediately: "Then I didn't embarrass the lord, the lord is full of praise, you don't know, when I entered the banquet, I didn't drink a drop, and the guards around the lord glared at me."

"When all the generals saw me in that embroidery, they all admired me and asked me why I have such military discipline. It is also a model for the world!"

"This question, I just gave a thumbs up, saying that my family's lord is strict with himself and dedicated to his duties, and he is the person I admire the most in my life! At that time, when I said it, the house was full of applause, even the lord was full of praise."

The corner of Xu Zhen's mouth curled down, and he turned his head many times to look at the people around him.

Go out for a trip and learn to talk nonsense.

"Then I congratulate brother Dianwei, ah, he will be a prince in the future, this time, it's worthwhile to come back as a lieutenant."

"When the lord's army returns, do you want to let him think that you died in battle and give you a posthumous title?"

"When the time comes, you will fight the enemy in the name of a loyal general, how majestic it will be!"

Dian Wei's expression froze immediately, the words were not complicated, of course he could understand, Junhou started to make fun of himself again.

Tsk, I'm so annoying.

However, it was a lot easier to be told by Junhou, at least he had already started to choke people, and he was still the same Junhou as before, he was good at talking and poisonous, he has not changed.

After hearing Xu Zhen's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Chun and Cao Ang also breathed a sigh of relief, as expected they still felt sorry for Dian Wei, and after a few words, they were immediately relieved and no longer tense.

"Father's army has never arrived, but Dian Wei and I have been sent to inform them that we are alive,"

"Brother, please take care of me this time."

Cao Ang had to slow down at this time, and bowed deeply to Xu Zhen.

If it was the dignified atmosphere just now, he really didn't dare to speak, but Xu Zhen would really scold people.

Even he will not let go.

Although Cao Ang is the eldest son, Xu Zhen never cares about these things, which is why Cao Ang can always learn a lot from Xu Zhen.

"It's still the same sentence, just come back."

Xu Zhen didn't talk too much, and led the crowd out of the camp and walked all the way to the school grounds.

At this time, there is still a lot of free time at night. After a wave of promotion, my mind is open and my intelligence has increased.

And also got the ability of "different from ordinary people". Xu Zhen estimated that every intelligence attribute over [-] would have this characteristic.

Xu Zhen's is "a photographic memory".

This is indeed different from ordinary people, but it is not unique in the world, everyone may have it.

But this will definitely be of great benefit to reading in the future, because everything you have read can be remembered in your mind.

Easy to lift.

"Perhaps, the relevant intelligence can be improved faster in the future."

The more things you remember, the better to compare them from time to time.

Xu Zhen secretly said.

Go back and ask Liangzi if she has any abilities that are different from ordinary people. It should be taking shape now and will soon surface.

At this moment, everyone got out of the tents and walked along the road paved with red carpet until they reached the Pingsha school grounds. The people in the middle of the school grounds were still being dragged and ran in circles.

His running speed was getting slower and slower, his fatigue was visible to the naked eye, and he was sweating profusely when he ran close, and he couldn't breathe well.

Seeing someone coming from this side, he immediately couldn't help but raised his hand to signal, and was brought in front of Xu Zhen by the guard.

This person is Jia Xu.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"I, I am not good at running."

Jia Xu waved his hands, his face was full of bitterness, even a little confused, he didn't know where he offended Xu Zhen.

But I just felt that when I met this kid, there must be nothing good.

Today's torture can only be brought out by a bastard like him.

I really don't know who I learned from, let the Confucian prisoners run continuously to wear down their will, if they don't run, they will suffer from flesh and blood.

And Jia Xu knew that he would never die, so he didn't want to suffer from flesh and blood.

I don't want to suffer, so I can only run, but now it is difficult to even breathe, and I can't do it without running, and I will be whipped if I collapse.

When I ran down, my throat and chest became more and more uncomfortable, and my legs were trembling weakly.

Threats are even more impossible. This group of people hold Jinwu, the emperor of the old guard, and directly beat them as criminals.

It is even more impossible to find someone to help. He was sent here directly with his head covered. It is estimated that some friends in the court did not know that he had arrived here.

Deep in the tiger's den and wolf's den, it's hard to move an inch!

This young man may be really poisonous!I tricked you to mess with you! ?

Xu Zhen probably didn't care about the reputation of the gentry, and was used to doing things in his own way. Even a ruthless person like Dian Wei was submissive in front of him.

But why are you following me?
Can't you just let me hide in the dark?
While Jia Xu was breathing, her brain kept thinking, guessing and guessing Xu Zhen's thoughts, but she couldn't think of anything after thinking about it for a long time.

Really embarrassing!I do not know him!
While Jia Xu was panting, she seemed to be sighing at the same time, she couldn't figure it out!
There are many things in the world, and many things can be thought clearly by thinking about it in secret.

Jia Xu is good at thinking, likes to observe words and expressions, and to judge people's hearts.

Therefore, many people in the strategy say poison, but in fact it is not appropriate to use poison to explain it. It should be "cutting the pulse" extremely accurately, the key point in the strategy, so it seems that the strategy is very poisonous.

Of course, he really doesn't like to care about the lives of the people, as long as he can live.

"Mister's wife and children are still in Wancheng?"

"No, not bad... Huh..."

Jia Xu calmed down as much as possible, but now it is very difficult to say a word, so he should save as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Zhang Xiu rebelled against the lord, is it your plan to plan a surprise attack?"

"Yes, but—" Jia Xu was about to explain, but Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand to stop: "No but."

"You don't need to say too much, just listen to me. The reason why you dare to rebel is because you judged that Sikong and Yuan Shao must have a battle before the north has decided the hero, so Zhang Xiu can be sold for a price, waiting for all parties win over."

"Therefore, there are quite a lot of choices. Even if you use tricks to turn against Sikong, you know that if he wants all the famous people in the country to join him, he needs to have the reputation of being a courteous and virtuous corporal. Therefore, if Zhang Xiu becomes stronger and surrenders in the future, he will still be able to obtain a high status."

"no no……"

"Huh?!" Xu Zhen frowned, wrong?

Impossible, just mentioned intelligence.

"No matter what, there is a place to live."

Jia Xu nodded immediately.

Xu Zhen: "You will be relied on."

"Wonderful praise," Jia Xu cupped his hands slightly, and took another deep breath. At this time, his body was sticky and uncomfortable.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't rely heavily on me, right?"

Xu Zhen sneered with his hands behind his back, "Dian Wei wants to hack you to death."

Jia Xu shrank her neck and stopped talking.

This young man's speech is a bit choking.

"Then, is there anything I can do to help the prince?"

"Yes, you owe me your life."

Jia Xu sighed with her hands behind her back, "It is indeed now."

He didn't recognize the one before.

"Okay, write a letter to Zhang Xiu, let him surrender again, and he will be able to establish his career next year."

"What achievements can I make next year? It's nothing more than guarding Jingzhou for Sikong," Jia Xu frowned suddenly, and couldn't figure out the meaning of Xu Zhen's words for a while.

"After that, sir, you can stay after finishing this matter. I will go to Sikong to intercede for you."

Jia Xu didn't know if it was right or not, so he could only surrender.

But he was secretly startled.

Can you plead! ?Say this in front of Cao Ang?
Moreover, Cao Ang seemed to... didn't express anything?
Can this young man have such a big face?

In the past, I only heard that his achievements in farming were very great, and his military achievements were only in capturing Runan.

Besides, is there any other proud achievement that can be used to intercede for me?

Don't wait for Mr. Cao to chop you and me together.

Jia Xu questioned instinctively.

Then gradually began to believe.

After all, after thinking about it, at least there is Cao's kindness, maybe this can be used to explain things.

It's no problem to beg for mercy, so he doesn't have to waste his words to take risks in front of Sikong.

Although it is certain that he will be forgiven, who can say for sure about this matter, Sikong may be hacked to death at any time when he is in a bad mood.

In this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to hide under the command of this executive Jinwu?
Jia Xu suddenly understood this truth. He assassinated Cao Cao himself. He didn't kill Cao Cao because of his kindness, but he may bring it out to question him at any time in the future.

It is always a hidden danger, but if it is under Xu Bowen's command, although he may not be able to rely heavily on it in the future, it will be a little safer, and he will just block me if something happens.

It can also avoid going to Sikong to be an eyesore, and when it stabilizes in the future, slowly accumulate credits, and then develop.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands.

……

Three days later.

Cao Cao's army returned and went straight into Xudu. After seeing the talent, he listed his achievements and distributed a large amount of pensions to the dead warriors.

I personally went to the mansion in the inner city to meet with Dian Wei, and it is said that I had a drink to let him recuperate at home.

It was a long sigh of relief.

Until another two days later, after the battle, many matters have been arranged, and the influence and reputation have no longer changed too much.

Only then did Cao Cao summon Xu Zhen to his home for a banquet.

"Bowen, thanks to Bowen!"

Cao Cao personally greeted Xu Zhen's carriage outside the gate of Sikong Mansion.

At this time, Xu Zhen got off his horse and cupped his hands, and said seriously: "My lord, winter is coming, and I need to go to Chenliu in person recently to check on the winter disaster and appease the emotions of the people."

"I'm going to leave tonight, so don't drink alcohol."

"Okay, okay!" Although Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, his heart gradually warmed up. Xu Zhen didn't blame him, and he was still so diligent and caring for the people.

Generally, prefects are reluctant to deal with winter disasters in person, fearing that they will be infected with disasters, or that they will be tired from traveling due to the heavy snow blocking the mountains.

Xu Zhen is still the same as before, with people in her heart.

"Since that's the case, come and eat quickly. I have something to explain to Bowen, so let's go."

Xu Zhen and Cao Cao followed Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao walked a few steps slowly and waited for him to come up, the two stood side by side.

"This time I went to Wancheng, why did Bowen expect that Zhang Xiu would suffer a rebellion?"

This is the question in Cao Cao's mind.

Now he is also wondering whether Xu Zhen has any special intelligence network, such as the surveillance of the school office that he imagined.

"However, Bowen once trained spies to lurk beside all the princes today?"

Xu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head helplessly several times, and said frankly: "If I have that kind of ability, if I don't directly wipe out these princes for the Lord, let them have no leader, and spy on what news."

He then put away his smile and bowed seriously: "I met Zhang Xiu once at Daguguan before, and I know that this person is very high-spirited and doesn't want to be under others, and because of Zhang Ji's death, no one can take care of him."

"That day, I forced Zhang Xiu to see that he himself did not want to surrender, and was willing to fight to the death, but he had no choice but to surrender in order to protect the soldiers who followed him loyally. There are many parties to win over, so it is like this."

"If I remember correctly, brother Feng Xiao actually made the same conclusion as I did."

It's still an assertion. Xu Zhen's explanation of this impassioned statement actually shows that he still guesses.

"Oh, so it is."

Cao Cao patted Xu Zhen's shoulder nonchalantly, and said with emotion: "I almost died at that time."

"Zhang Xiu can bear it, he is really a ruthless person."

"If you hadn't insisted on letting Zihe lead the troops to follow from the other side of the path, I'm afraid you would really be killed by him."

"Also almost involved Dianwei, Zixiu and the others..."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It was you, Xu Bowen, who saved my life again!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhen suddenly paused, "Hey, then Ning'er and Xian'er can..."

Cao Cao's expression froze immediately, and he almost slapped himself backhandedly. He pretended to be stupid and said, "How about them? What is Bowen talking about?"

"My lord said at the banquet on the evening of May [-] this year that if I can save my lord's life again, I will send Ning'er and Xian'er..."

"Impossible! Why can't I remember!?"

Cao Cao's pace suddenly quickened.

It's even a little vain, no wonder you kid is so caring this time.

To actually remember it so clearly in his mind, this must have been premeditated, to judge Zhang Xiu's matter, and then advocate to save him.

His heart is sad!
I really don't intend to choose!

At that time, when my father and I asked him who he would choose, the words that blurted out were all afraid, but they were really true.

"Boy, don't push yourself too far!"

Cao Cao walked to the threshold, turned around and pointed to Xu Zhen.

Why is your face so big?
I only have a few daughters in total, and you still refuse to give up after giving you one?You used to have a reputation of being clean and honest, how come you are so self-defiled now, isn’t it?
"Brother Bowen! Tell me a story! Jie'er wants to hear a story!!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Ruyan, a young girl carved in pink and jade, threw herself into Xu Zhen's arms like returning to her nest.

A sweet and crisp voice resounded through the lobby door.

It made Xu Zhen dumbfounded, it's good to have high charm, at least innocent children like him.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched suddenly.

Not at all.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at Xu Zhen, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "Wancheng, does Bowen have a plan at this time? If so, I can consider rewarding him."

"Oh? Seriously?" Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the reaction was not too big, and he remained elegant and calm.

Because he was here to offer advice tonight.
