Cao Thief

Chapter 311 Why Do You Need to Avoid Relatives (12)

Although Cao Cao used a deliberative tone, it could be felt that he seemed to have made a decision.

In my mind, the words Li Ru said after the attachment came to mind again: If Mr. Cao makes a request, you must not hesitate, and you must agree to it.

At first glance, this may not seem like a great idea.

But in fact, the strategies offered by strategists and counselors are often to figure out human nature and point to the core chatting words.

Like Guo Jia's theory of ten victories and ten defeats, it belongs to the overall plan and should not be discussed lightly.For example, later generations said that Jia Xu died in Han Dynasty with one word. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing profound about it.If it were changed to the blunt remarks of later generations, it would be nothing more than: We are dead anyway, we may win if we fight hard, and it doesn't matter if we lose.So Li Jue and Guo Si summoned troops and besieged Chang'an, saving the defeat.

The real strategy is to speak the right words at the right time, at the right place...

But how easy is it to do this?
Therefore, it is said that one word can prosper the country, and one word can destroy the country.

The same words, in different occasions and occasions, will produce different effects.

Li Ru's reminder is actually based on Cao Cao's personality.He is no stranger to Cao Cao, and even studied it carefully.

At least when the princes of the 22nd Route attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was almost killed by Li Ru's design.

Send people to suppress the formation, and then ambush...

This is a strategy anyone can come up with.

But it was such a strategy that almost wiped out Cao Cao's entire army. If Cao Hong hadn't tried his best to cover him, he might even have died on the battlefield.

Cao Peng said: "If the father transfers my brother back, my nephew thinks that Bu Zhi can succeed."

"Bu Zhi?"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief. Since Cao Peng named a replacement, it shows that he is open-minded.

But, which one is this stallion?

"Bu Zhi, styled Zishan, was originally a member of the Bu clan in Huaiyin.

In the second year of Jian'an, after my nephew and my brother arrived in Haixi, the prefect Chen Deng recommended three people, one named Wei Jing, who was rebellious and unwilling to help my brother, so I scolded him away, and later went to Jiangdong, whereabouts are unknown One is Dai Gan, the hero who burned Hailing with Wang Xu and burned Zu Lang to death.This person has a strong temperament and is loyal and upright, but unfortunately... the third one is Buzhi Buzishan.

He is now the head of Yandu, and he also participated in the battle of Guangling this spring.

Bu Zhi has been with me the longest, and he is cautious and talented.If Shifu asked me who could replace me, I would choose Buzishan. "

Cao Cao originally just asked, and didn't expect Cao Peng to really recommend anyone.

how do you know...

Cao Cao smiled, "Ah Fu, there are many celebrities in Xudu City, and there are countless talented people. Why do you value this stallion so much?"

Can I tell you that Bu Zhi was once the prime minister of Soochow in history?
Cao Peng also laughed, "There are as many famous people in Xudu city as there are crucian carp crossing the river. But there is one problem, I don't know them well..."

"what?"

"Besides, Bu Zishan's cousin is my maidservant. I know Bu Zhi far better than others."

Cao Cao's face darkened, "Ah Fu, don't you know that you want to avoid relatives?"

"Since it's a meritocracy, why do I have to avoid relatives? Bu Zhi is obviously the most suitable candidate, why should I avoid suspicion?"

If someone else said such a thing, Cao Cao might be very upset.But when Cao Peng said such words, Cao Cao felt very happy.This further shows that Cao Peng doesn't have any special thoughts, he is only doing things for himself to share his worries...

"Then tell me, why is Bu Zhi the most suitable person?"

"First, Bu Zhi is from Guangling, and he has been to Haixi since the second year of Jian'an, so he is very familiar with Haixi."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Secondly, after my brother got a foothold in Haixi, he benefited from the two.

One is Puyang Kai, the chief of Lu, near Yilu, and the other is Bu Zhi.Whether it is to pacify Haixi, rectify the commercial market, and promote farming, Bu Zhi participated in the initial planning.If it is said that besides my elder brother, Bu Zhi and Pu Yang Kai know the most about Haixi's situation.

Mr. Puyang is a talented person, but he is a little rigid, and his ability to adapt is not high.

In fact, I have always felt that it is not appropriate for Mr. Puyang to be a magistrate.The most suitable position for him should be to be a doctor of the Five Classics in the Taixue, teaching and educating people... Hee hee, don't blame me, Shifu, I also expressed my feelings, and there is no other meaning. "

As early as when Cao Peng left Xuzhou, he knew that Puyang Kai was not in good health.

Haixi is remote. Although it has faintly become a rich place in Huaihe River and Huaihe River now, the environment is still a bit bad.In his letter with Cao Peng, Deng Ji mentioned that he hoped to find a job for Puyang Kai in Xudu so that he could enjoy his old age in peace.After all, Puyang Kai is also getting old.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Don't show off your small mind, just keep talking."

"But Bu Zhi is different. Although he came from a prominent family, he was poor since he was a child. He was raised by his aunt, so he understands the hardships of the people. He knows how to adapt, and he is more skilled in military affairs. In this regard, he is better than his brother... And, he With a delicate mind and a big picture, it is enough to govern one side. What the father said is true, there may be countless people, but my nephew thinks that Buzishan is the only one who is suitable for the captain of Haixi Tuntian.

Another point is that Bu Zishan succeeded his brother, but the government orders were consistent.

Father, for the sake of proof, I am most afraid of changing the order from day to day.If Haixi can continue to develop, it must continue the government order.To be honest, I am very worried that if a stranger is replaced, the decree will be changed.Eager to establish one's own prestige and build one's own merits, and completely negate the efforts of the predecessors, for the superior, it is a waste of years of hard work; for the inferior, it will make the people confused and at a loss. "

Regarding this point, Cao Peng expressed his feelings.

It is not uncommon to see such things that change from day to night in the work experience of the previous life.

The previous term was in charge of modifying the streets, and when the next term came, he thought it was not his achievement, so he stopped halfway and chose other projects.

As a result, urban construction is in chaos.

When I first entered an avenue, I felt very good, but when I walked halfway, I found that the street had become rough and uneven, and it looked like two things.

This is probably also a very characteristic officialdom phenomenon in later generations.

In the words of Cao Peng, when you first enter the glamorous world, you will lose it...

In peacetime, you can act like this, but in times of war, you can't.National policies such as garrisoning fields need more consistency.

Cao Cao nodded again and again, showing a satisfied smile.

"anything else?"

"What's more, I know Buzi Mountain, but I don't know those people who can do it."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "You are a boy who refuses to give in."

Cao Peng scratched his head and showed a simple and honest smile.

--------------------------

"Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

After Cao Peng left, Cao Cao turned his head and said softly to the outside of the pavilion.

From behind the rockery outside the pavilion, a person walked out, it was Guo Jia.Wearing a thick fur coat, he walked into the pavilion, smiled and sat down.

"Since the lord has already made a decision, why ask me?"

"It's just that I don't understand why Wenhe recommended Deng Ji? They don't seem to be very familiar with each other."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia Wenhe is indeed capable. He can see through the master's intentions at a glance. In my opinion, the reason why he recommended his uncle and grandson is to get revenge on Ah Fu. If Ah Fu hadn't said a word, he might I will continue to hide and do the thing of keeping a low profile...

Now, Ah Fu forced him to come out, if he didn't take revenge, how could he be at peace?

Haixi, run by his uncle and grandson, is nothing.But it's been a long time, after all, it's not very good, and it's not a big deal in my opinion to change someone else.I don't know much about Buzishan, if the lord hesitates, why don't you send someone to Luoyang to ask about Changwen? "

After all, Guo Jia suddenly laughed!
"why are you laughing?"

"I was thinking, if Ah Fu knew that Jia Wenhe had plotted this matter, how would he react?"

Cao Cao thought about it and smiled...

"That child is not a master who is easy to suffer."

He and Guo Jia looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

It was almost noon when Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion.Overcast and cloudy for several days, suddenly sunny, it is a rare good weather.

There are more pedestrians on the street, and each of them looks very busy.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the new year is coming. Those who should buy new year's goods buy new year's goods, and those who should visit relatives and friends make Xudu suddenly very lively.Although Yuan Shao's proclamation spread throughout the world.But for the common people of Xudu, the proclamation did not cause much disturbance.Although Xu Du's harvest this year was not as good as last year's, it was not bad.Looking at various places, Cao Cao's rule can be regarded as the best.Yuan Shaoyuan is in Hebei, so what does it have to do with us?Even if he has enough soldiers and food, how can he win us some points...

It can be seen that Cao Cao's governance over the years has been popular.

After Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion, he returned home alone.

He first greeted his mother Zhang Shi, then dragged Huang Yueying to talk for a while, and took his little nephew Deng Ai to run around the yard twice.

Deng Ai is almost three years old.

Babbling and babbling, 'uncle' has been called out.

Cao Peng became more and more curious, what will Deng Ai look like in the future?
Is he the famous Deng Shizai in history?

Looking at the white and fat little Deng Ai crawling on the porch, Cao Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Weixian is the order...

He seems to have found a suitable candidate!
Just this candidate...

After lunch, Cao Peng came to the remote courtyard in the mansion.

Li Ru was sitting upright in the Buddhist hall. In the fire pond beside him, the charcoal fire was raging, making the temperature of the Buddhist hall very high.As soon as he entered the door, Cao Peng felt the heat blowing towards his face.Cao Peng couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw the charcoal piled up in the fire pond.

"Mr. Wen Cheng, what about it?"

"what?"

"Such a small Yifo hall, you make the fire so prosperous."

Li Ru rolled his eyes, "Being idle is idle, and I can't go out, so naturally I hope this room can be warmer."

Cao Peng was meant to be teasing, but he didn't care about Li Ru's tone.

He opened the window to allow the air to circulate, then sat down and told about his experience in Sikong Mansion just now.

"Tell me, it's fine, why did Sikong let my brother come back?"

Li Ru stretched his waist, "What else could be the reason? Your brother-in-law has outstanding achievements in government, and his reputation in Haixi is too high, so Meng De is worried.

But you don't need to worry, you are coping well today.

The more frank you are, the less Meng De will doubt you.The Bu Zhi you recommended will most likely succeed your brother-in-law... However, Meng De called your brother-in-law back, probably not only because his foundation in Haixi is getting deeper... Maybe it will be of great use. "

"What's the use?"

Li Ru let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "This is not certain.

Maybe stay in Xudu, maybe let go of the party in charge.He has Haixi's qualifications, plus your father and son, there should be no problem. "

Cao Peng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case.

Counting, Deng Ji has been in Haixi for more than two years.

With the development of Haixi, it has become a piece of fat coveted by many people.

If Deng Ji was allowed to stay there, there would indeed be trouble.However, Haixi is now Cao Peng's most important piece of wealth.

The nine major guilds have earned him a large amount of profits in the past two years.

These days, land and population are the most important.

But if there is no money and silk, nothing will be accomplished.

This is another reason why Cao Peng strongly recommended Bu Zhi to Cao Cao.

As long as Bu Zhi is there, the financial resources can be guaranteed continuously.But I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on a single step... Haixi's profit is too big, and it's impossible for him to swallow it by himself.The best way is to share benefits.But, who should you choose to share your interests with?
This, too, is a big problem.

If the partner of cooperation is not selected well, it is bound to cause big trouble.

This person must have a close relationship with Cao Cao, but the authority should not be too heavy, and he can be controlled...

So, who should you choose?
Cao Hong?

Cao Ren?

Or Xiahou's disciples?

"Young master, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, with whom should I govern Haixi."

Li Ru froze for a moment, a smile appeared on that ugly face.

However, his smile was uglier than when he didn't smile.He stroked his palm lightly and nodded again and again.

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Li Ru sighed lightly, and said, "Young master's thoughtfulness is a good thing.

I just wanted to talk to the young master about this matter.Haixi is too big, you can't swallow him completely by yourself. "

"Oh?"

"It must be shared with others, but this candidate..." Li Ru suddenly smiled, and said softly: "I have been thinking about Cao Cao these days. I do have a candidate, but I don't know what you want. However, this candidate, I am afraid Not easy to win over."

"Who?"

"How are you, Mrs. Huan?"

Cao Peng suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Li Ru.

"Do you know that Mrs. Huan is pregnant again?"

"so what?"

"How?" Li Ru smiled, "Cao Mengde is lustful, but Mrs. Huan has a body. What does this mean? Mrs. Huan is the most favored. Today, Mrs. Bian is the head of the Sikong Mansion and is concerned by many people. And the son Cao Pi, now Cao Mengde's eldest son, naturally attracts more attention. Mrs. Huan now has only one son, and she is low-key by nature. Her clan is not prosperous. Although there are several children who serve Cao Gong, they have little talent. Speaking of it, Her team is the weakest... and it happens to be an alliance with it."

"Oh?"

"Why did Zhang Xiu belong to Duke Cao?
Because he knows, defecting to Yuan Shao, in your words, is the icing on the cake; can he join Cao Mengde?It is indeed a timely gift. "

Cao Peng nodded slightly after hearing this.

"The current Mrs. Bian is just like Yuan Shao.

The son has grown up, and although Cao Cao fought, he is quite talented.There are countless people who make good friends with them, so how can they care about your family?And Mrs. Huan is now Cao Mengde.If you help her now, if she succeeds in the future, she will definitely remember your friendship today. "

"I understand!"

Cao Peng nodded and showed a smile.

He began to rejoice that Li Ru was allowed to stay after listening to Kan Ze's persuasion.

This is really a big killer... With his secret help, at least he can save himself ten years of struggle.

"Sir, do you also think that Mr. Cao will win?"

"If he loses, you will be miserable."

Li Ru got up with a smile and walked out of the Buddhist hall slowly.

Cao Peng sat in the Buddhist hall, looking up at the Buddha statues enshrined in the Buddhist hall.He suddenly felt a burst of emotion, and bowed devoutly in front of the Buddha statue.

Blessed by the Buddha, Duke Cao will surely win!
——————————————————————————————————

The afternoon sun is very warm, and it feels very comfortable when it shines on people.

Taking advantage of this rare leisure, Cao Peng lay on the porch, resting his head on Huang Yueying's leg, watching the clouds passing by in the sky.

"Yueying, a letter from Changwen said that Mr. Chen has sent someone to Jiangxia."

"Ok?"

"He's going to beg for my marriage."

Huang Yueying's face turned red all of a sudden.

Like a mosquito humming, hummed.

In fact, she was also worried about this matter, staying at Cao's house, although Cao Ji and Zhang's both recognized her, she had no status after all.Unless she is really desperate and doesn't even care about her family... But for Huang Yueying, who has read a lot of poetry and books, that is really embarrassing.

Chen Ji is the patriarch of the Chen family in Yingchuan and the grandson of Chen Shi.

In terms of family status and reputation, they are far higher than Huang's.If Huang Chengyan didn't want to really turn against the Yingchuan family, then nine out of ten, he would nod and admit it.

"By the way, a few days ago, a man named Wei Yan came to see you."

"Oh?"

"He said that he lived in the Xudu official post during this period, and asked you to find him when you come back."

It was only then that Cao Peng remembered that Wei Yan should indeed stay in Xudu at this time.Cao Zhen mentioned it to him before, but due to various reasons, he missed it before... Wei Yan's visit to Xudu this time may at least be able to test the position of the captain.Cao Zhen said before that Cao Cao intends to let Wei Yan be the captain of the gangster.But in Cao Peng's view, the difficulty is not small.Dang Kou Xiaowei, false rank of two thousand stones.It's not that Wei Yan is not qualified, but that his qualifications are still a bit shallow... If he can hang around for a few more years, it's really possible.

But inspecting the captain is also Bi Qianshi's job.

Cao Ji is now the real Qianshi, just one rank higher than the inspector captain.

It is also a good choice to be able to inspect the captain, at least to be able to lead an army alone.

Cao Peng quickly sat up and thought for a while, "Then I'll go and visit now... It's been almost three years since I said goodbye to Big Brother Wei Pingyu."

"Well, then I told my mother that I won't cook your meal tonight."

With such a sensible confidante, what more could a husband ask for?

Cao Peng hurried into the room and changed his clothes.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, he saw Deng Juye running over and blocking his way, "Youxue, someone from Zhijinwu's yamen asked you to report for duty."

"what?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help being stunned...
