The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 416 Who can teach Sun Quan how to behave?
So, for things like living under someone else's roof and submitting to them.

Lu Xun was quite open-minded about it. After all, he had been working for his enemies for decades.

At this time, facing Sima De's pointed question.

Lu Xun also said frankly:
"Your Excellency, it is meaningless for me to complain about the world."

"I do have some doubts in my heart."

"All the talented people in Jiangdong are under Sun Quan's command."

"Among them, there are more than a handful of people whose talents and learning are superior to mine."

"And when Cao Gong speaks, how dare Sun Quan not respond?"

"I am of low reputation and low moral character, how could I be chosen by Lord Cao?"

Sima De couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard such self-deprecating words.

"Bo Yan is too modest!"

"To tell you the truth, I asked for Bo Yan by name."

"It's my son Cao Zhang, Cao Ziwen!"

After saying that, he also stretched out his hand to signal Cao Zhang behind him.

Naturally, Cao Zhang did not comment on Sima De's misidentification.

The two of them had already discussed the matter of surrendering Lu Xun.

Cao Zhang already knew this person's background and experience.

However, Lu Xun's ability may still need to be examined.

However, Sima De said confidently at this time:

"Bo Yan, in our eyes, you are definitely not a mediocre person."

"From now on, you will follow me and accompany the young master, and together we will rule the world!"

"Sun Quan was afraid of the feud between the Lu and Sun families, so he did not dare to entrust Bo Yan with important tasks."

"But my young master no longer has such concerns."

"You will understand in the future that the vast Central Plains is far superior to Jiangdong."

"That's where you can realize your ambitions and show your talents!"

After saying this, Sima De also looked at Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang then nodded and lowered his arms.

"Renda is right. My father has always promoted people based on their talents."

"In our army, the commanders, officers and generals are naturally given the positions according to their abilities."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun also bowed and said:

"In this case, Lu Xun would like to thank you for your kindness."

Seeing this, Sima De also signaled to Zhuge Dan beside him:

"It's closed. Please wait for Bo Yan to go down and rest."

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Dan stepped forward and took Lu Xun away for resettlement.

Wait until the figures of Lu Xun and Zhuge Dan gradually fade away.

Cao Zhang then asked in a low voice: "Ren Da, Lu Xun is extremely talented."

"But he was born in Jiangdong, can he really be trusted?"

Sima De's smile did not diminish when he heard this. He turned to look at Cao Zhang, his eyes flashing with confidence.

"Don't worry, Ziwen. It may take time for others to verify it."

"But this Lu Boyan is not the case."

"Speaking of which, since his grandfather Lu Kang, he was murdered by Sun Ce, the former lord of Jiangdong."

"In Jiangdong, Lu Xun has always been unable to escape the Sun family's vigilance."

"Even if one has extraordinary talent, he will still be shelved."

"At best, he can cultivate land and suppress bandits, but he can hardly rise to the top of government."

This is true; the traces of history are clearly visible.

Lu Xun was highly valued by Sun Quan through marriage, and he married Sun Quan's niece.

He was then gradually promoted and eventually became a pillar of the Wu State.

But now, before Lu Xun became Sun Quan's confidant, he had already been accepted by Cao Wei.

In the future, Dongwu will no longer have Lu Xun, who is known as the "Jiangdong arsonist".

Only General Lu Boyan of the Great Wei!

Thinking of this, Sima De's laughter was even more proud.

Even Cao Zhang seemed to be infected by this.

He, who had originally had a serious face, also started laughing!

The two of them seemed to have succeeded in their plan and were laughing in triumph.

Afterwards, Sima De took Sun Quan's letter of apology and went to report to Cao Cao. And it was just as he expected.

As soon as his cheap father-in-law got the "Chen Jiguo Shu" written by Sun Quan.

Seeing the respect expressed between the lines, he immediately smiled!

"When I read this book, I saw that Sun Quan, a young boy, was humble and wrote a thousand words."

"I really got rid of my anger. I can't help but feel much better!"

"It's a pity that this book has more neat writing than spiritual energy."

"Obviously it wasn't written by him."

After saying that, he also handed the letter to Sima De for him to read.

Seeing this, Sima De quickly took the letter and took a look at it.

He immediately saw the trick. This letter was definitely written by a scholar under Sun Quan.

But, it's normal when I think about it.

With Sun Quan's temperament, how could he personally write such humiliating words?

Just as he was about to tease Sun Quan.

When he took the opportunity to brag about his father-in-law, he heard Cao Cao say:

"Renda, I want to withdraw my troops now."

"But after the troops withdraw, someone needs to stay in Jiangbei to supervise the construction of Ruxu City."

"Who do you think is the most suitable person?"

Cao Cao's question was like a sudden gust of wind, catching Sima De off guard.

And a person suddenly appeared in Sima De's mind.

That is his own second brother Sima Yi!
His good second brother was Cao Pi's trusted think tank.

It would be great if we could trap them in Jiangbei!
After all, building Jiangbei New City is not a one-day job.

It takes several years, or at least two or three cycles of winter and summer.

And he used his second brother's ability to resist Sun Quan on the other side.

Not to mention it's more than enough, it's also a waste of talent!
Moreover, doing so can also weaken Cao Pi's power in Yecheng!
By that time, he, as the younger brother, would be far away in Yecheng helping Cao Zhang ascend to the throne.

But the second brother Sima Yi could only sit in the south of the Yangtze River.

No matter how cowardly or cunning the second brother is, what can he do?
Once this idea took root, it grew like weeds, wreaking havoc in Sima De's heart.

However, after meeting Lao Cao's scrutinizing gaze.

Sima De finally put the brakes on in his heart.

This suggestion was to keep his second brother Sima Yi in Jiangbei.

This matter must not be brought up at this time, or should never come out of his mouth.

After all, this behavior is too obvious!
Not to mention the ambitious father-in-law in front of him.

Even the generals in the army could see it.

This was an intentional plot against Cao Pi and a plan for Cao Zhang.

If he really said it out loud, then what's the difference between him and that useless guy Yang Xiu?

Thinking of this, Sima De also pondered it secretly.

Then he said carefully:

"Father-in-law, in my opinion, we should guard the new city in Jiangbei."

"It is difficult for someone who is not a master of both civil and military skills to be competent."

"Therefore, I recommend the generals Man Chong and Man Boning stationed at Fenwei."

Throughout history, there were many civil and military officials of Cao Wei who could make Sun Quan tremble in fear.

Except Zhang Liao, the god of war at Xiaoyaojin.

There was another person who was even more famous, and that was the one who later became the governor of Runan County and the governor of Yangzhou.

Man Chong, who was in charge of the Jianghuai defense line.

In the past few months, Sima De has brought Cao Zhang and Zhang Liao closer.

At this time, it is not convenient to directly nominate this Jiangdong nemesis.

However, Sima De didn't mind letting Man Chong show his talents.

Stay in Jiangbei and teach Sun Quan a lesson on how to be a good man!

"Man Boning?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this.

"Haha, I originally thought that Renda would strongly recommend Zhang Wenyuan, who is very close to you."

"Or maybe with your brother Sima Renda..."

"I never expected that you would come up with a brilliant idea that I had never thought of."
