Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 238 A Big Boss Carrying Three Big Gift Bags, Isn't That Reasonable? [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

Jizhou is chaotic and its road is difficult.

It was nearly ten days after Cao Ang received the urgent letter from Han Fu.

Even if you go fast all the way, rushing crazily regardless of the cost, the distance between the two places is ultimately here.

But fortunately, the ten days did not delay the business, and did not affect Cao Ang's sending troops to the north.

As soon as he received the letter, he sent someone to notify Cao Ren, who was originally active in Wei County, to go to Ye County to take over the military and political power of the entire county as the prefect of Wei County.

of course.

Now Cao Ren has only 3000 people under his command.

Once the local forces in Wei County began to resist the Cao family, it would be a little unsafe to rely on Cao Ren's people.

In order to ensure that there will be no chaos during the entire power transfer process, and to ensure that Cao Ren can firmly hold the entire Wei County in his hands according to his intentions.

Cao Ang then found Zhang Liao, who had just wiped out the bandits and bandits in the entire East County not long ago, and then returned to Puyang County to return to his command.

He ordered him to bring more than [-] infantrymen under his command, together with more than [-] cavalry under Cao Chun's command, to rush to Wei County to join Cao Ren, and together they gave Cao Ren the town.

As a civil servant commanding this column, Xun You was singled out by Cao Ang to go with Zhang Liao and others.

At the moment, it is in the north of Puyang County.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, several flags standing in the army fluttered in the wind, making bursts of tearing sounds.

Cao Ang looked at the people standing respectfully in front of him, the generals in armor, and the counselors in robes that were torn in the wind. They displayed awe-inspiring majesty and a murderous spirit.

Nodding in satisfaction.

After a little estimation of the time, it was almost time to set off, Cao Ang immediately urged Zhang and Cao earnestly.

"Wenyuan, Zihe, after the two of you leave Puyang, you should rush to Yecheng as quickly as possible. Don't waste time on the way."

"The sooner we arrive, the sooner Wei County will be under our control. This matter is of great importance and cannot be ignored!"

"After arriving in Yecheng, the military affairs will be based on Zixiao for the time being, and other matters will be arranged by Gongda."

Zhang Liao and Cao Chun immediately clasped their hands together.

There was a solemn and solemn promise on his face.

……

After finishing the instructions, Cao Ang turned to look at Xun You and Xun Gongda who were standing aside.

After giving it a little hand.

Cao Ang gave the same advice.

"Gongda, counting Zixiao's troops this time, our army has more than [-] troops in Wei County. Such a large, brave and elite army must be enough to deter all forces in Wei County. .”

"But after all, we are unfamiliar there. Even if we have a mighty army, there will be people who are dissatisfied, and even obstruct us, and oppose us."

"After you get there, you should pay attention to the movements of all parties. Who is sincere, who is the weeds swaying by the wall, and who is respectful but not convinced."

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang paused for a while.

Then, in Xun You's slight nod of the head, his tone was quiet, with a sense of chill, and he continued to speak rather harshly.

"Completely controlling Wei County, this matter is related to our next Jizhou strategy, and there is no room for any mistakes. Therefore, in special times, we must use special strategies to deal with it."

"Anyone who dares to fight against our army by chance and tries to offend the superiors by linking with local forces, when dealing with them, they must be dealt with quickly."

"When necessary, you don't have to be merciless. It's okay to use human heads and blood to scare chickens and monkeys!"

Xun You is not a pedantic generation.

Although he can't be called ruthless, but when necessary, there is no shortage of iron fists.

Therefore, facing Cao Ang's identity, Xun You responded by bowing and saluting, and said solemnly after getting up.

"Don't worry, general, your subordinates know what to do, and they won't worry you!"

……

Everything is arranged properly.

Zhang Liao and others didn't waste any more time, and immediately mobilized the army to go to Yecheng in Weijun.

Stand at the gate of the city.

Looking at the back of the army going far away.

Cao Ang clasped his hands in his sleeves, silently thinking about what he was going to do next.

In fact, according to Cao Ang's plan, he didn't need to stay in Puyang County for a while, and he could go north with Zhang Liao, Cao Chun and others.

The reason why it has evolved into today's segmented action.

It was entirely because Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan arrived in Puyang City ahead of schedule at an extraordinary speed.

According to the report of the soldiers sent by Le Jin, Lu Zhi and his many disciples have arrived at a place thirty miles away from Puyang City.

At the latest in the evening today, they will be able to reach Puyang City.

It is because of this message.

Cao Ang temporarily changed the action plan.

He had to stay first, lead Lu Zhi to meet the emperor and the queen mother, and make proper arrangements for this well-known tycoon.

If it was possible, maybe he would have to benefit from him, which could be regarded as an early realization of assets.

With such thoughts.

Cao Angcai decided to let Zhang Liao and others go first, while he left 2000 people as the second echelon of action.

……

at dusk.

When the clouds are all over the sky.

It is also in the familiar north of Puyang City.

Cao Ang received Lu Zhi and his party.

Even the master and the disciples, there were about 30 to [-] people. Except for Lu Zhi who was riding in a carriage, the rest of the young disciples were all riding tall horses.

"Cough cough!"

With a slight dry cough.

The curtain of the only carriage in the team was lifted, followed by a man who was over fifty and looked quite old.

With the support of his disciples, he slowly got out of the carriage.

And the first time he saw Lu Zhi, Cao Ang walked up quickly.

As a junior, he first bowed to Lu Zhi and said, "I have seen Mr. Lu, you will be fine when you come here!"

Perhaps it was the exhaustion of the journey, coupled with the continuous high-speed rush.

Lu Zhi, who was already in poor health, looked a little pale at this moment, and his footsteps were a little swaying.

However, compared with his physical suffering and his embarrassing appearance, Lu Zhi's eyes were piercing, and could even be described as falcon-like eyes.

Compared with Le Jin's cloudy eyes when he saw him in Jundu Mountain, there was a completely different change.

……

Facing Cao Ang, he bowed to him.

Lu Zhi smiled softly, then broke away from the support of the disciples on the left and right, and stepped forward, holding Cao Ang's arms with both hands, and helped him up.

"When I was in Luoyang City that day, I knew that Zixiu was definitely not a thing in the pond. Now, after a few years, the world has really turned out as I expected. Zixiu has already soared into the sky!"

speak here.

Lu Zhi patted Cao Ang's arm again.

Then he said in a rather gentle tone: "Zixiu is now the prefect of a county, and since the old man left his official position, he has become like a white body."

"Besides, I came from afar, you are the master, I am the guest, Zixiu doesn't have to treat me like a disciple!"

Listening to Lu Zhi's words.

Cao Ang smiled and shook his head again and again.

"Gongsheng is famous all over the world, and is even more popular at home. He is the minister and pillar of our Han Dynasty. In comparison, he is no more than a small prefect."

"And after today, Mr. Lu will stay here for a long time. You and I are like a family. In the future, there will be no distinction between host and guest, and the difference between inside and outside?"

Make sense.

Being Lu Zhi's disciple is definitely not a disadvantage. In the whole world, how many people want to be a disciple to him, but they haven't had this opportunity yet.

With Cao Ang's current reputation, identity and status, being Lu Zhi's disciple is definitely a purely profitable business.

of course.

Right now, the tug-of-war between Cao Ang and Lu Zhi is nothing more than a formality, and does not involve any substantive change in relationship.

……

After some pleasantries.

Lu Zhi also no longer entangled in some details.

Instead, he pointed to the twenty or thirty disciples who came with him, and said to Cao Ang.

"Zixiu, these are my students. When I was leaving in Youzhou, they heard that I was going all the way to Dongjun, and they were worried."

"That's why you all come with me this time."

"I hope Zixiu can arrange a resting place for them. After all, they will be exhausted after all the hard work."

Lu Zhi's voice just fell.

A gleam of splendor flashed in Cao Ang's eyes.

In his eyes, these twenty or thirty students were not just Lu Zhi's disciples.

What's more, after he recruited Lu Zhi, the gift that this big man at the end of Han Dynasty came with was buy one and get dozens.

Even in a sense.

These middle-aged or young Confucian scholars are the authentic products of this transaction, and Lu Zhi is the key to trigger this opportunity and let himself obtain the authentic products.

……

Why did Cao Ang go to great lengths to recruit Lu Zhi? In fact, he had a purpose, which was for these disciples.

As Lu Zhi's status as a great Confucian in the world, he has taught countless disciples in his life.

It doesn't matter if it's a real student, a student who is a student, or a nominal student who hasn't attended a day of class.

In short, everyone must recognize Lu Zhi as a teacher, and even feel proud of being Lu Zhi's disciple.

As long as Lu Zigan stays under his hands for a day.

These students who have followed will obediently obey Cao Ang's orders for a day.

And those students who are scattered all over the world, when they hear that their teacher is in Puyang County, East Commandery, there must be a considerable number of them who will rush here after traveling thousands of miles.

And Cao Ang, as the master of Dongjun, who actively recruited Lu Zhi, would these talents who came all the way refuse to serve him?
As such.

The number of talents under Cao Ang's hands will expand rapidly in a short period of time.

This is definitely a lucrative business.

Therefore, following Lu Zhi's words, it floated into his ears.

Cao Ang was also unequivocal. He first bowed his hands to Lu Zhi's disciples, and then agreed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I have prepared for this matter. You can rest in the county government for the time being. You can move in after a few mansions are vacated!"

……

After placing these students.

Lu Zhi didn't care about rest either.

At that moment, he asked Cao Ang to take him to meet the emperor, queen mother and other venerables.

When seeing several venerables who thought they had died in Luoyang, Lu Zhi, an old comrade, behaved no differently from Cao Ang's father Cao Cao.

That's an excitement!
Even his already quite old body, the moment he saw the little emperor Liu Bian, seemed to be reinjected with some kind of mysterious power, and he started to trot immediately.

After paying respects to the emperor, the queen mother and others, Lu Zhi burst into tears.

With a slightly choked cry, while scolding Dong Zhuo as a thief, he expressed his remorse to several venerables.

After all, in the face of Dong Zhuo's power and influence, he, the minister who has always been regarded as a loyal minister and good general, failed to show the slightest effect.

Afterwards, he fled Luoyang City quickly, leaving only the queen mother and the emperor as orphans and widowed mothers, and almost caused several venerables to be poisoned by Dong thief.

Lu Zhi naturally had reasons to express remorse.

Although in the final analysis of this kind of thing, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, and he can't stop anything.

But some attitudes should be shown.

And after the emperor and others expressed their understanding to Lu Zhi and admired him as the Optimus Prime of the country.

The so-called matter of being a teacher to the emperor, the natural research has become a matter of course, without any disturbance.

…………

at dusk.

In the mansion Cao Ang arranged for Lu Zhi.

The two are sitting opposite each other in the study.

At this moment, after returning from paying homage to several venerables, Lu Zhi has restrained his emotions freely.

But if you observe carefully.

You can still vaguely see his slightly red eye sockets.

"Zixiu, it's really hard for you to deal with the venerables. If you hadn't sacrificed your life to save them in danger, it would be hard to save them!"

while talking.

Lu Zhi was still trying to stand up, as if he was going to bow to Cao Ang to show his respect.

After going through the visit just now.

Lu Zhi's attitude towards Cao Ang was already visible to the naked eye, and became more kind and cordial.

After all, in Lu Zhi's eyes at this moment, he has already regarded Cao Ang as one of his own.

Everyone is a loyal minister and good general of the country!
A young man like this is already a pillar of the country, a loyal man of the Han Dynasty.

Who wouldn't like such a simple-minded person who is dedicated to the country?
……

"Lu Gong's words are serious. My ancestors lived on Han's salary in the world. My Cao family has been the courtiers of Han for several generations. Everything we do is a matter of duty. It is absolutely unacceptable for you!"

Cao Ang hurriedly stopped Lu Zhi's momentum of bowing down. Although it was a bit cool to be bowed by this big man, it was definitely not appropriate.

And after helping Lu Zhi to sit down again.

The two chatted a few words while making tea soup, and soon the topic turned to the right track.

Lu Zhi is a straightforward person.

Now that he has seen with his own eyes the price that Cao Ang put forward, in return, he will naturally have to present his own value.

So after a little thought.

Lu Zhi asked bluntly: "Zixiu, in the letter you sent to me back then, you stated that you could let the emperor worship me as a teacher."

"To be honest, this matter is very important to me, and that's why I traveled thousands of miles across states and counties to come here with my broken body."

"And now that you have fulfilled your promise, since that's the case, then I don't know if there is anything I need to do, and I hope you can tell me straight!"

Cao Ang was very satisfied with Lu Zhi's frankness.

This also proves from the side that it was a wise decision for Cao Ang to use Lu Zhi as the emperor's teacher to attract him. Lu Zhizhen was so attracted that he couldn't get rid of him.

……

I sorted out the wording in my mind a little bit.

Cao Ang also said resolutely.

"I don't know if Lu Gong has noticed on the way here, but Jizhou is now in chaos, and all forces are mixed in it, and war is about to break out."

"At the request of Mu Hanfu of Jizhou, I am about to lead my troops to the north to support him, so as to save his life and the counties he currently owns."

"And when I'm not in Puyang County, I also hope that Lu Gong can take care of many affairs in the county mansion to ensure that my rear is safe."

In fact, there are many affairs in Dongjun.

It is more than enough to have Xun Yu, a top government talent, in charge of handling it.

It's just that considering that Zhang Rao, the commander-in-chief of Huangjinqu in Qingzhou, learned that Dongjun is likely to fall into a situation of siege from two sides.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Cao Ang also included Lu Zhi's strength.

And after hearing these words.

Lu Zhi nodded slightly, and said in a natural tone: "You don't need to explain this matter, and I will try my best to ensure that there is no trouble in Dongjun County. After all, the venerables are currently in Puyang County, how can I just sit idly by?"

……

The first thing is a consensus.

It can also be regarded as laying a good foundation for in-depth exchanges in the future.

"Whoa..."

Cao Ang filled a bowl of tea soup for Lu Zhi, put it in front of him, raised his right hand, and made a gesture.

"The other thing is that the disciples who came with you, Mr. Lu, I plan to arrange some stable and reliable official positions for them in the East County prefecture and the counties under the county. I don't know what you want. ?”

Cao Ang hadn't finished speaking yet.

A slight smile appeared on Lu Zhi's face.

After the voice on the other side fell, Lu Zhi replied without thinking.

"Did Zixiu think that I just let these disciples escort me all the way?"

"I originally planned to find a good background and a good future for them, but the situation was not clear before, so I have been gathering around me."

"Since I want to stay with you for a long time now, those who are disciples, unless they go elsewhere, it is up to you to arrange."

Lu Zhi readily agreed.

Cao Ang felt even more happy.

In one's own power, there were twenty or thirty well-educated people who had achieved great success.

Regardless of the character and morality of these people, as well as the ability to govern the local area and handle government affairs.

Even if it's just empty knowledge and dealing with some basic trivial matters, it's enough.

The most important significance of harvesting such a group of talents is to fill the vacancy of middle-level officials in Dongjun in one fell swoop, and greatly enrich the empty shelf.

In terms of top strategists, there is no shortage of Cao Ang.

The uncles and nephews of the Xun family, Cheng Yu and Mao Jie, are all top civil servants.

What is lacking is a large number of middle-level talents who are responsible for handling basic affairs and are in charge of doing things instead of making plans.

With the injection of such a batch of fresh blood, for a long time to come, there will be no shortage of people doing things under his command.

……

Both things went smoothly.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two also became a little heated.

It's just that when he thought of the last thing he wanted to say, Cao Ang hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

"Tuk Tuk..."

After tapping the table with his fingers a few times, Cao Ang finally made up his mind.

Then he sat up slightly, straightened his back, and stared at Lu Zhi with piercing eyes.

"Lu Gong, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

See Cao Ang like this.

How could Lu Zhi not know the importance of the matter?
The tea bowl that was originally held by his mouth could not help but be put down silently, and then he also straightened his back.

"If Zixiu has anything to say, you can speak up."

Seeing that Lu Zhi had put on a posture of concentrating and listening quietly.

Cao Ang immediately pointed to the north.

Then he said to Lu Zhi: "It is still the matter of Jizhou in the north. As I said before, Jizhou is about to fall into a heinous war."

"And the initiator of this war is none other than your disciple, Fenwu General Gongsun Zan."

"He has led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and set off from the border of Youzhou, intending to take the Jizhou Mu Han Fu in Gaoyi County."

"What I hope is that you can contribute a little bit to this matter."

……

Cao Ang's voice fell.

A long silence followed.

The study room was extremely quiet, and the two people sitting opposite each other in front of the table were silent.

Among them, Lu Zhi frowned even more, looking like he was in deep thought, his performance was not as decisive and sharp as before.

Lu Ziqian is a little embarrassed now.

He really didn't expect that Cao Ang would bring the matter to this.

When Gongsun Zan raised his troops to attack Han Fu, Lu Zhi had already crossed half of Jizhou, so he didn't know about it.

But many things are not without warning.

During those days when he lived in seclusion in Youzhou, Lu Zhi's news and intelligence never stopped.

Lu Zhi could guess some of Gongsun Zan's movements and thoughts, even if he guessed them.

It is precisely because of this.

Lu Zhi didn't think he could be of any help in this matter.

After all, Gongsun Zan had already planned something, even if he was Gongsun Zan's teacher, he might not be able to persuade him.

After a long silence.

Lu Zhi finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"Zixiu, are you going to ask me to write a book, as a teacher, to persuade Bogui to return to Youzhou and not to invade Jizhou again?"

……

"How is that possible!"

"Given Gongsun Bogui's temperament, since he has already led his troops to fight, how can he willingly return to Youzhou if he doesn't achieve certain results?"

"I have seen Gongsun Bogui's behavior in recent years. There are many wild waves in his behavior. He is by no means a stable and obedient person. Even if you are his teacher, I am afraid that you will never be able to persuade him to turn back."

Cao Ang shook his head.

One side gave a negative answer.

But after hearing such an analysis, Lu Zhi couldn't help feeling relieved. Cao Zixiu's ability to see this meant that he didn't speak indiscriminately.

"Since it's not to persuade him to turn back, what does Zixiu want me to do?"

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth rose slightly.

Show a kind smile.

Then express your thoughts.

"The one I want to ask Duke Lu to help is to write a letter to Gongsun Bogui, to tell him the benefits and disadvantages, and let him know the disadvantages of raising troops to attack Han Fu."

"It's not necessary for General Gongsun to return to Youzhou. He just needs to stop and stop attacking Han Fu in a hurry. Everything is enough!"

……

Lu Zhi was a little dazed when he said these words.

After tossing and turning in his mind, he asked hesitantly just now.

"With Bogui's ambition, he must be rushing to occupy the whole territory of Jizhou."

"And once he is really asked to do this, with Jizhou's vast land, abundant population, and abundant food and grass, it will be beneficial to occupy the whole territory without any harm!"

"How can I tell the pros and cons?"
