Three Kingdoms.

 Chapter 3276 So that’s what happened

 Returned to his home.

 Cai Mao sat down in the study room slumped.

 I feel very unhappy, but what can I do?

 You can only swallow it silently.

Cai Hao is now in a mid-life crisis similar to that of later generations. It doesn’t matter whether he is groveling and willing to be Cao’s lackey, or he has no sense of shame and can only accept compromises. Anyway, it is impossible for Cai Hao to rebel, and he can’t say anything wrong here. Mr. Liu, the world is still big, because his whole family is in Jingzhou.

  True·a big family.

It's okay for Cai Mao to run alone, but what about his family?

Cao Ren also knew this, and even though he held Cai Mao's vital points tightly, although he didn't say a word, he revealed a very clear message in and out of his words. If Cao's life is not easy, then Cai's life will not be easy either...

 Choi is a dog.

 That's what Cao Ren meant.

Cai Hao felt like something was pulsing inside his head. When he was in front of Cao Ren, he could still hold on, but when he got home, he couldn't hold on any longer. He rubbed his temples with his hands, closed his eyes, and rubbed them again and again.

 Cai He quietly walked to the door of the study and called softly.

Cai Hao still had his eyes closed and just pointed sideways with his hand.

Cai He looked at Cai Mao with some worry, sat down, twitched his lips, and then said after a while: "Brother, this Cao...Cao Zixiao..."

 Cai He didn't say any more because he saw a fierce light in Cai Mao's opened eyes.

　　　『There is always a way to do things in the world. ” Cai Mao said slowly, “I have been staying in Jingzhou for the past few years. I don’t have enough experience. Naturally, I am looked down upon. This square inch is indeed a bit messy. Well...but it's not all bad. 』

 ‘Isn’t it all a bad thing? ” Cai He muttered. Does that mean that most of them are bad things, and only some good things can be found among the bad things?

Cai Mao nodded, "Cao Zixiao wants Cai to send 3,000 troops." 』

　　　Three thousand! ” Cai He’s voice changed, “Where is this? ! 』

Cai Hao seemed to have recovered a little from his emotions just now. At this time, he stood up, put his hands behind his hands, and went to the study window. He stretched his head and looked around. When he saw that no one was around, he walked back and whispered: "If Cai doesn't come up with this number, Cao Zixiao can't let anyone else do it... Jiangling is in danger..."

"Jiangling is in danger and we are going to do it..." Cai He instinctively answered half of the sentence before he realized, "Could it be that Cao Zixiao is forcing his brother?" 』

Even though Jiangling is just south of Xiangyang and can be said to be closely related to each other, it does not belong to the territory controlled by the Cai family after all. So if Jiangling is rotten like a bird, what does it have to do with the Cai family? If Mr. Cao is anxious, that is Mr. Cao's business, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Cai either.

Cai Mao glanced at Cai He and said, "Can you say this?" 』

　　　　Yes, yes, my little brother is being reckless. ” Cai He lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Cai Mao was caught off guard by Cao Ren before, but now that he has come back and thought about it carefully, he has figured out some things, "Cao is in vain." 』

―Empty? ” Cai He didn’t understand.

 Cai Hao nodded.

Although in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cai Mao looks like a real villain. In the early stage, he was cunning and cunning, and he came up with all kinds of excuses to frame Liu Bei. He was flexible and eclectic, but in the middle stage, he became only able to flatter and catch the horse. Even Cao Cao couldn't listen to him on his legs. Then in the later stage, he became speechless and unable to say anything when something happened. He could only shout the word "prime minister" all the way until he was dragged down and beheaded. The contrast between before and after was huge...

 In fact, those who can be the head of a big family are not ordinary people.

 Especially in times of trouble.

Although Cai Hao's vision is a bit low and he will inevitably be a little uneasy when facing big changes, he is definitely a first-class smart person. Cao Ren attacked him with a flurry of blows. Cai Mao couldn't catch it at first, but now he calmed down and analyzed it, and more or less understood the Cao family's current situation.

　　　『Cao Zixiao has no backup, so he can only ask us for soldiers and manpower. ” Cai Mao said, “This is one of them. Secondly, if we cannot mobilize our soldiers and manpower, he... ha, he is afraid! 』

Chai He straightened his neck suddenly, "Ah ha?" ! 』

"So he is testing us and persecuting us..." Cai Mao sneered, "Who wants to go to Jiangling now except Kuai?" But Cao Zixiao had to go! If he doesn't move when something happens in Jiangling this time, then in the future... It turns out that we think that the Cao family is powerful in the Central Plains, and there is an emperor in Xu County, whether it is the righteousness of the family and the country, or the military power... But now it seems that it is actually just an illusion. . 』

 ‘He who knows the current affairs is called a hero. ” Cai Mao said slowly.

　　　This statement means that a person who can clearly discern everything, assess the situation, understand the changes in world affairs, and conform to the trend of the times is a person who can be called a hero. 』

"Knowledge" means not just looking at its appearance, but studying its principles deeply; "time" refers to the current situation of the world, and also refers to the constant flow of the world. Only by understanding the past and present can we have insight into the future. This is the foundation for a great cause and the foundation for great achievements. Therefore, we should take "knowing the time" as a lesson, and take self-cultivation, ordering the family, governing the country and the world as our "duty", so that we can show the demeanor of a gentleman and the true character of a scholar. 』

 Cai He couldn't help but feel a little moved, "Brother means..."

Cai Hao sneered twice and said nothing.

 …

 …

 In Xu County, as Cai Mao said, the troops and horses are already stretched thin and seriously insufficient.

If it were just a front-line demand, then it would be barely supported, but Jiangdong suddenly stabbed him in the back, which really caught the Cao family's political core off guard.



Now in Xu County, the core members of the Cao family who are staying at home are gathered in the prime minister's official residence at this time, and everyone's face is not very good-looking. Xun Yu, who was sitting at the top with his eyes half-closed and half-opened, seemed to be wandering, thinking about something.

If Jiangdong can still be regarded as having some calculations, then the appearance of Wei Yan in Jizhou exceeded almost everyone's expectations.

Jingzhou can't take care of both ends now. It was natural to send troops to support it, but no one expected that Wei Yan would suddenly appear in Jizhou and make it prosperous. In a place as big as Jizhou, there are so many officials, but there are no If one person can stop Wei Yan, it's like the land of Jizhou suddenly eroded!

Daily urgent reports are delivered to Xu County almost continuously!

 Asking for help, asking for help, asking for help!

It seems that Jizhou officials only write these two words in various ways!

 Sometimes Xun Yu also wants to yell at Jizhou in the north, don't you all have nothing to eat every day? Wei Yancai has so many troops, but he can't stop him, catch him, or stop him, even if he's dead or alive!

The party-state...ahem, how come the big Han people are so incompetent? !

Even Baima Ferry found traces of Wei Yan and others...

You must know how difficult it was for Yuan Shao's army to cross the river. They had a stalemate with Lao Cao in the Baima Guandu area for a long time but could not successfully cross the river. Unexpectedly, this seemingly impregnable defense line now looks like a A joke, a joke that makes everyone in Xu County unable to laugh.

 Xuxian County can be said to be the core of the Han Dynasty.

Well, at least it is what Shandong people think is the core of the Han Dynasty. After all, the emperor is here, so if something goes wrong, the world will be shaken!

 It may even involve the front line!

If the military's morale is confused, it will be really troublesome!

Who would have thought that the hussar could have such a skill?

Thousands of defenses, preventing Heelo Road Wusing Road, but who can think of Taihang Mountain can also jump out of a puppet?

If Cao Chun succeeds in the battle in Youbei, then Cao Chun can be urgently deployed to Jizhou to encircle Wei Yan with cavalry. But now Cao Chun himself is in trouble, and the situation in Mobei is not optimistic. No one dares to say whether Zhao Yun will The attack will be launched after the heavy snow melts, so if Cao Chun's troops are really mobilized, if something happens, the entire Youzhou may not be able to defend it!

The Cao family's political group is even more afraid of the hussar cavalry!

Nowadays, Youzhou cannot be moved, Jizhou cannot be used, Jingzhou cannot be lost, and Yuzhou cannot have any problems.

Xun Yu is like a gluer, trying his best to protect the Han Dynasty's house that is ventilated everywhere.

 No one is doing anything for the big man. On the contrary, everyone is working hard to poach the big man and enrich their own pockets.

Xun Yu can only make a hole, which is covered with a layer of paper.

 Fortunately, the people in Shandong, although they are poor and miserable, are really peaceful!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 Can't think about it, don't dare to think about it. Now, only four people can enter this official residence to discuss countermeasures.

 In such a large Han dynasty, if something really happens, these are the only people who can discuss it.

 Cheng Yu sat on one side with a gloomy face.

Man Chong frowned.

Ren Jun hung his arms and remained silent.

 No one in the house is named Cao, but everyone is the core loyal member of the Cao family.

Needless to say Xun Yu and Ren Jun, Cheng Yu was also very loyal to Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu joined Cao Cao's camp when he started his army in the early days. He can basically be regarded as Cao Cao's early team. Although Cheng Yu may not have a very close marriage relationship with Cao Cao like some of his cronies, his loyalty and contribution is unquestionable.

 The most important thing is that Cheng Yu was willing to do any dirty work for Cao Cao. Moreover, he provided important advice and help to Cao Cao at many critical moments, making him an indispensable assistant to Cao Cao.

This time the rear was unstable, and Cao Cao immediately thought of Cheng Yu and sent him back.

Cao Cao said nothing, but as soon as Cheng Yu came back, everyone knew what Cao Cao meant.

 The person sitting next to Cheng Yu is Man Chong.

The most important thing for Man Chong and Cao Cao to come together is that Man Chong agrees with Cao Cao's political philosophy and governance strategy. This ideological resonance is an important basis for their loyalty. Secondly, Man Chong's legal talents were appreciated by Cao Cao. This professional recognition made him an indispensable and important legal assistant to Cao Cao.

Man Chong was known for his strict enforcement of the law and never flinched even when facing powerful people. This attitude of adhering to principles was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao. Perhaps Cao Cao saw his younger self in Man Chong, so he also trusted Man Chong, which made Man Chong more loyal to Cao Cao.

No matter how bad Shandong is, we cannot say that these people in the house are bad.

 The land of Shandong, a prosperous family.

Even though there are thousands of worries, the grace and elegance that should be there are still indispensable.

The ground was spread with brocade mats, and there was a copper furnace for burning incense, gilded with gold and silver, and a faint green smoke was blowing out from the side.

Ren Jun may be recovering from his injury. During the healing process, he felt that not only the wounds inside and outside his arm were itchy, but also his whole body was unbearably hot. Seeing Xun Yu sitting on it and keeping silent, he became a little impatient. Twist it left and right, and the armor on your body will jingle and creak as you twist.

Man Chong glanced at Ren Jun and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this Jizhou hussar army is causing trouble. Is it true or false?" Why are there reports of encounters with bandits everywhere? Even if they really came from Taihang, there must be only a few people, but now it seems like there are thousands of people in Jizhou! You really need to contact Yecheng and ask for details. 』

　　　The specific situation is being verified. ” Now that Man Chong opened his mouth, Xun Yu responded.

 Facing this situation, Xun Yu was helpless.

He is not a god, and it is impossible for him to fall from the sky with all his human, material and financial resources.

 In any case, don’t think about the titles of Anping Jizhou and Happy Jingzhou this year.

The decay is already severe, and the stench will inevitably leak out. The word "verification" is actually more often used to see whether the matter is going to be dealt with in a big way, or to put a lid on it first. It is not that important to check how much the people know and whether the public grievances are big or small. As for the truth of the matter, it is not that important.

　　　　Jizhou needs to be dealt with first! ” Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, “If Jizhou is allowed to rot, it will not only affect the counties and counties, but it may also make rebels rampant! 』

 Cheng Yu came with a mission from fellow student Lao Cao!

If Xun Yu hadn't stopped him, Cheng Yu would have probably taken action by now!

 Cheng Yu is from Dong'a, and he will never beep if he can do it. Of course, some people say that Cheng Yu is timid in public battles and brave in private fights, but if Cheng Yu really takes action, it will be really dark, too lethal and influential.

Xun Yu wanted a more secure approach, rather than just opening a big skylight as soon as he came up.

Although this will indeed make the big Han people in the house agree to open a small window, hatred will also be sown. When the time comes, Xun Yu will still have to find a way to hide it and support it.

 After hearing Cheng Yu’s murderous words, Xun Yu said: “If Jizhou’s hussar soldiers are true, that’s a good thing...”

Everyone was stunned.

Xun Yu sighed slightly, "If it's false...then you really need to think about it." 』

Everyone was not a fool. They immediately understood what Xun Yu meant and couldn't help but fell silent again.

As soon as Xun Yu said this, everyone looked a little ugly.

 Great Han people, why can’t we unite?

We have already reached this point and are in such a situation. Why are we still scheming with each other, fighting for power and profit, and refusing to let go of our own selfish desires?

Why?

Xun Yu really wanted to shout in the ears of every Han gentry and squire, asking them to open their eyes and take a look. If Cao Cao hadn't stood in front of them, would they still be able to enjoy their good fruits now? As a result, Cao Cao is fighting for his life in the front, while they are holding back from behind. For a moment, Xun Yu also wanted to let Cheng Yu go out and kill a man with blood, but in the end he suppressed his murderous intention and said slowly: "The soldiers that can be used now are either from Qingzhou or Xuzhou." . 』

Ren Jun shook his head, "There are no people in these two places. Even if there are people, there are more thieves than soldiers!" 』

 Xuzhou was originally a large state with a strong population, but unfortunately, due to Cao Cao's strategic needs at the time, it was eventually abolished. Cao Cao was in a place of four battles at that time, and Tao Qian was considered the weakest and softest persimmon at that time. If Cao Cao wanted to survive the two Yuan's attacks, he had to eat Xuzhou's flesh and blood to become stronger. This was the only way.

The main blame for Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou lies with Cao Cao, but Tao Qian is not the good old man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but an ambitious guy with too big dreams and too little strength. In the end, his family was destroyed.

The most pitiful and innocent people were naturally the people of Xuzhou. It was not until Cao Pi came to power that Xuzhou could recover.

 The situation in Qingzhou is similar.

 Historically, it was only during the Cao Pi period that Zang Ba and others were attacked.

 Therefore, what Ren Jun said is not unreasonable.

Xun Yu replied: "Cao Zixiao summoned the Jingbei nobles to ask for soldiers and to levy grain and grass." Now more than 10,000 people have gathered and are conducting emergency drills. 』

Xun Yu seemed to be answering the question, which made everyone look at each other.

Man Chong was the first to react, or rather he was not the first to understand, but he was the first to speak: "I'm afraid Chen and Zang are unwilling." 』

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "This matter... is not up to them." 』

　　　Since Zhongde has made it clear, how about leaving it to Zhongde now? Xun Yu said.

Cheng Yu bowed his hands in agreement, then stared at Xun Yu and said, "If things still change... so what?" 』

Xun Yu sighed slightly, "Zhongde will have his own idea at that time." 』

 Cheng Yu saluted and excused himself first.

Man Chong also understood what Xun Yu meant, and then he raised his hands and said, "In that case, let me do the patrolling of spies in Yingchuan territory and the arrest of traitors!" Although Xiaoxiao does not cause serious harm, it can easily disturb people's hearts and should be eliminated. 』

Xun Yu nodded.

Man Chong also left.

Ren Jun thought a little slower, not fully understanding what Xun Yu meant. When he saw Cheng Yu and Man Chong leaving, he couldn't help but pointed at himself, "Your Majesty, what about me?" 』

Xun Yu smiled, his smile was very gentle, without the slightest hint of ridicule, "Ren Zhonglang, the safety of Yuzhou and the peace of Yingchuan can all be entrusted to Zhonglang." We must stabilize the morale of the military and not slack off at all. 』

Ren Jun nodded and replied: "How dare you disobey orders!" 』

He was confused. Until he left the official residence, Ren Jun still couldn't figure out what Xun Yu meant.

 As for things, it seems that Xun Yu also talked about a lot of things, and then divided the tasks of each person, but...

Ren Jun always felt that there seemed to be a lot of things missing in it. The key issue was that both Cheng Yu and Man Chong seemed to understand clearly, and he was the only one who was confused. This made it difficult for him to ask. If he did, Doesn't it prove what I am...

 Suddenly, Ren Jun's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly understood what Xun Yu meant. He couldn't help but stand there, and then he sighed deeply, "That's it!" Really, really...oh..."
