And the military division house is also one of the famous holy places in Yanzhou, not because of how luxurious the decoration of the military division mansion is, but, this is built by Cao Cao, although it is simple and monotonous, but everything has a far-reaching history and significance, in the words of the earth, this is an aircraft carrier transformed from a battleship, and there will be a fierce debate competition every once in a while, many people of insight are discovered or promoted because of this, this academic event regardless of the official and the people is also rumored to be a good story in various states

At this time, in the military division's mansion, from the entrance hall to the main seat of more than 20 meters away, a dense mountain of items is piling up, Xi Zhicai's father and daughter are each holding a small book in the scribbling and writing, and the gate of the military division's mansion is being rebuilt at this time

This mountain is nothing else, it is precisely because some big mouths in the Military Division's Mansion spread the news that Xi Zhicai was terminally ill, which caused the entire Yanzhou to shake, and countless officials and people flocked to it, directly stepping on the gate of the General's Mansion, and Xi Zhicai's father and daughter persuaded countless grateful people to persuade them to return to their posts after being frightened by the crowd, and Cao Cao was drunk at this time, otherwise he would not allow Xi Zhicai to be harassed like this

Millennial ginseng, millennium Ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, universal antidote pill, resurrection pill, decades of old hens, legendary ancient prescriptions for treating all diseases...... The tonics, elixirs and home remedies that can be named are all here, which come from officials and people at all levels in Yanzhou, who have been promoted by Xi Zhicai, who are favored, who are grateful to Xi Zhicai's justice, who help each other, and who hope that Xi Zhicai will take care of his health, and who love, whether it is the large and small family of Chen Liu, or the corrupt officials and Qing officials, whether it is the Shi family or the common people, they all broke the boundaries of time and space for a while, and poured into the Military Division's Mansion with their own hearts

Will the big family look down on the small family, will the nobles greet the cold family, and the people dare to say a few more words to the officials, this thing that will not happen in the world happens in the same place and at the same time, and I have to make the guards and housekeepers of the military division mansion feel that this situation seems to have provoked the anger of the heavens, and the heavens and men killed together, and they were besieged and attacked

But this is the unique charm of Xi Zhicai, during his reign, the rewards and punishments are clear, honest and kind, and he has done a real all-encompassing, whether you are a black cat or a white cat, you will go to me to catch mice, the people's taxes adhere to the rules set before, that is, one-third of the outside, no matter how you change in the sky, even if my court is starving to death, I will not levy a dime more from you, no matter how well you cover up, how deep the background is, you will recruit me from the truth, large and small families, good people will leave me, bad people will give me to make trouble, what do you like...

Over the past few years, Chen Liu's clean and honest wind has led Yanzhou, countless talented people are in charge of the power of Yanzhou, the people's hearts are attached, everything is thriving, the strange strength makes the states Chen Liu and Yecheng, the plain Chang'an and called the four major cities in the world, Chen Liu also overtook Yecheng Chang'an, close to the legendary city of the plain, Yanzhou's hand is also famous

"Qingqing, you have to distinguish carefully when you record these materials, just like more than ten years of ginseng and a hundred years of ginseng are different, and if you record it wrong, you will lose your life", Xi Zhicai nagged at Zhen Qing while quickly classifying various materials and recording them

"Dad, I will, can you rest well", Zhen Qing stopped and gave Xi Zhicai a hopeful look, and unconsciously, her beautiful eyes began to contain tears, and she said softly

"Okay, my Qingqing has grown up, I naturally won't believe you, you come, I'll watch", Xi Zhicai felt a pain in his heart, hurriedly squeezed out a smile, put down the pen and paper, walked to the side of the chair and sat down, and said

Zhen Qing is a very obedient child, she hasn't cried much since she was a child, let alone crying, she has always said one and she won't say two, she continues to work hard, pursuing the direction that Xi Zhicai is looking forward to, although she is only ten years old, but whether it is IQ or mind, she has the level of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and her pair of beautiful eyes is something that Xi Zhicai can never refuse in his life, as long as she says it, he will do it, because these beautiful eyes are accompanied by a very happy time in the past

I don't know how long it took, Zhen Qing finally finished tidying up, asked the maid to put them one by one, and then handed over several small books to Xi Zhicai, and said, "Dad, you check it"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "Qingqing is doing things, what do I have to worry about?"

"Dad, you will be the same as Brother Guo Jia said, you will never leave me, right", Zhen Qing tried to smile hard, pulled the sleeve of Xi Zhicai, and said

"Actually, since the lord defeated Yuan Shu, I have thought about resting for a few years, because the next few years are all times for cultivation and recuperation, Qingqing, you have grown up, it's time for you to know the news of your mother", Xi Zhicai pulled Zhen Qing to his side and sat down, touched her forehead and said

"My mother", Zhen Qing was so diverted by Xi Zhicai, her face changed, she became a little pale, and her beautiful eyes were a little dazed, this familiar and unfamiliar name since she was born made her in doubt from time to time, but Xi Zhicai's careful care made her gradually forget her role as a mother

"Qingqing, do you know the moonlit female Shura in Hebei in the past", Xi Zhicai suddenly had a bright smile on his face, and his eyes were full of remembrance and happy remembrance

"The female Shura under the moon, Zhen Qing, she, is she my mother", Zhen Qing's face gradually became indifferent, and her blank eyes gradually collapsed, becoming normal, but she was indifferent

Zhen Qing, few people remember it now, but more than ten years ago, this name represented the Zhen family in Hebei Province and the prosperity of the Zhen family, and the well-informed Zhen Qing was naturally not unfamiliar with this name

The female Shura under the moon, it is said that she is a direct descendant of the Zhen family, she likes to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and at the age of only sixteen, she was designated by the Zhen family as the escort commander of the foreign transport team, in charge of thousands of guards, responsible for the safety of the caravan north of the Yellow River and Hebei Province, countless thieves died under her, and she was ruthless, once the thieves who offended her, they would disappear without a trace at night, the entire group and the cottage disappeared without a trace, as if purified by the moon, in just three years, no thieves in Hebei dared to intercept the caravan of the Zhen family, but her myth only lasted for three years, and then I never heard much about it, some people said that she got married, Some people say that the Zhen family hid her to deal with the hostility of the official family, and some people say that she is lurking, luring snakes out of the hole, trying to trap and kill all enemies who dare to offend the Zhen family, but undoubtedly, her mysterious disappearance has greatly increased her popularity and made the Zhen family's caravan safer

"Everyone couldn't have imagined that your mother was recruited back because she was of marriageable age, and she wanted to be used to make friends, but she refused, and also left the Zhen family and defected to me", Xi Zhicai had a faint pride on his face, "I am a weak scholar, she is a famous female Shura under the moon, she actually chose to defect to me, Qingqing, my father is not powerful"

"Dad should have been beaten badly by her before", Zhen Qing looked indifferent, but when he looked at Xi Zhicai, he smiled sincerely and said

"That's right, the first time I met her sixteen years ago, I was indeed beaten by her very badly, she was only sixteen years old, young and vigorous, went deep into the enemy's den, exterminated the entire group of thieves, but was drugged, I was also robbed at that time I was also treated as a thief and was beaten by her, in a dark cave, we had a skin-to-skin relationship, she was almost so angry that she wanted to kill me, I was just a weak scholar, naturally not her opponent, but the more angry she was, the happier I was, because she was mine, forever, no one can change, I held her to death, she was tired, and for the first time she fell asleep in my arms unwillingly", The smile on Xi Zhicai's face was very bright, like a sky full of stars, Zhen Qing looked a little stupid, this is a smile that only flashed when Guo Jia and other friends talked about many old memories, but now it has been hanging," Since she is destined to be my woman, then I naturally do not be polite to her, I often correspond with her, talk to her about my current situation, talk about my experience, talk about my volunteering, and at the same time give her advice, order her to reply to me as soon as possible, at first she was unwilling to reply to me, even if she replied, she only scolded me, but after several times, she gradually relented, and began to really treat me as a husband, we corresponded for three years, she finally swept away the thieves of the Zhen family caravan route in Qingyou and Ji"

Zhen Qing's expression did not change because of Xi Zhicai's words, she was still indifferent and silent, only when she saw Xi Zhicai's smile, she would give the same sincere smile

"Qingqing thinks that your mother has abandoned us, yes, she does not keep her promise, she is not a good lady, she can't hold on, waiting alone on the bridge, as long as she persists for a month, I can find an old friend to help her, she still left weakly, in my opinion, the female Shura under the moon, she is vain, her heart is not ruthless enough, not strong enough", Xi Zhicai said with a smile, the tears in his eyes slipped down wordlessly, he continued, " Qingqing once asked Feng Xiaowenruo about your mother, I asked them not to tell you, that is your mother's wish, I promised her, I told you before I died, she doesn't want to be in her daughter's heart, she is a cruel and weak moon female Shura, the same, she doesn't want you to dance with knives and guns, she hopes that you will have a stable and happy life in the future, the moon girl Shura, she is a little girl without courage"

Zhen Qing suddenly opened her mouth, she never thought that her mother did not abandon her, but really left, for a long time, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and asked about Zhen Qing

Xi Zhicai naturally did not hide it, starting from his determination to serve the country, wandering around all his life to find the master, to Jizhou being arrested, to falling in love overnight, to knowing each other with Zhen Qing, and fighting thieves together, and then to Zhen Qing being forced to marry and fleeing from the Zhen family, the two traveled the world together, and spent countless ups and downs in the past three years, when they returned to the Zhen family, they were betrayed because of the infighting of the Zhen family, and were sought revenge by the enemy, but they were pregnant for ten months, and the bitterness of hiding everywhere, and finally died after giving birth to Zhen Qing because of the fetal gas

Zhen Qing finally understood why no one told her the news of her mother, because her mother was so strong that she didn't want her to know that the moonless female Shura who once shocked Hebei was chased and killed by some nobodies, and because the martial arts rivers and lakes were too chaotic and didn't want her to join, and her name was her father's commemoration of her mother, she finally understood that no matter how Cao Cao persuaded her in the past few years, her loyal father refused Cao Cao to be a matchmaker in every way, because in her father's eyes, the competitive and weak, fierce and chaste mother has never left, she has been alive in her father's mind, ten years like a day

Zhen Qing finally couldn't help crying loudly and buried herself in Xi Zhicai's arms

Life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, because there is life and death, life will have a beginning and an end, and it will be worth cherishing every minute and every second, but people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, in the face of the illness and old death of their loved ones and they are helpless, that kind of pain, that kind of helplessness, that kind of sadness, is indeed a kind of heartache, painful, if ordinary people can be like the children of Taoism, control their own life and death, it is definitely a great joy in life, a big celebration

"In a few days, after I finish my important business with the main bus, we will go to see your mother and go to the place where your mother and I have been", Xi Zhicai gently hugged Zhen Qing and said with his eyes closed

A few days later, Zhen Qing understood why his father always went to the small hillside in the back garden to sit in a daze when he was free, because there was a spotless little tombstone, a tombstone carved with flaming red stone, which could briefly glow in the dark night, shining on the growth of her mother's favorite flower in her life, and at the same time, taking care of their father and daughter

"Why didn't Zhicai tell me about my younger siblings earlier", Cao Cao's voice full of emotion suddenly sounded

"I've seen the lord", Xi Zhicai hurriedly let go of Zhen Qing and saluted

"I've seen the Lord, father-in-law", Zhen Qing also saluted and said

"No need to be polite, Zhicai, Qingqing, it turns out that my younger brother and sister are the famous female Shura under the moon, but unfortunately she died young, I don't know where the damn thief is now", Cao Cao hurriedly strode forward to help Xi Zhicai and Zhen Qing, and said with a little gritted teeth, but then suddenly, said, "I'm stupid for this question, those thieves should have disappeared long ago"

"Thank you for your concern, Zhicai has indeed taken revenge, does the lord still remember the thief-free town in the north of Yecheng", Xi Zhicai beckoned Cao Cao to sit down, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a faint smile, but the corners of his eyes were gradually red, obviously, this thief-free town has many of his sad and helpless memories

"Of course I remember, no thief town, that is the most respected place in the beginning, and it is also the favorite place of Fengxiao in Yecheng, at first, I thought that Fengxiao came from no thief town", Cao Cao saw this, and also smiled, patted the shoulder of filming Zhicai, took out wine utensils and wine, and poured it for him

No Thieves Town, one of the most magical towns in Yecheng and even Jizhou, was originally a meeting point of a group of bandits, surrounded by mountains with many bandits, but a few years ago, the thieves disappeared overnight, even if they knew that they were dead, no thieves dared to gather on the mountains of the town of no thieves again, and the town of no thieves also became famous, but what made Cao Cao and Yuan Shao extremely puzzled was that this town of no thieves was only a few thousand, the city defense was only a few hundred, and the economy was not rich, and the terrain of the mountains there was complicated, it should be a hiding place for many bandits, but this is such a place, there is no trace of bandits

"No Thief Town, that was not originally called No Thief Town, ten years ago I and Qingqing returned to the Zhen family, but soon left in a negative mood, but was betrayed by the children of the Zhen family, chased and killed by many bandits, and hid in No Thief Town for a while, I originally wanted to go back to Yanzhou, but Qingqing couldn't swallow this breath, we also played hide and hide for a year, Qingqing finally left, couldn't wait for the arrival of Fengxiao them, I and Feng Xiaowen Ruobo said that they were angry and angry, cleaned the entire mountain range around the town of no thieves, and laid out more than 20 different formations, with the bones of the bandits, now there are formations on the mountains around the town of no thieves, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried, and to the mountain, will be shrouded in the evil atmosphere, and after I cremated Qingqing, I took her to wander around, Feng Xiao heard that the demon master attacked Yecheng, and he was afraid that the demon master would destroy the thief-free town, so he went to Yecheng to help", speaking of the memories of the past, Xi Zhicai is no longer crying, in front of outsiders, Xi Zhicai has always been very strong, he drank stuffy wine, said

"It turned out that the heroic soul of my younger brother and sister sent Fengxiao to me, it is really my great celebration, Zhicai, you can rest assured, Gongda has gone west to Chang'an, you will definitely be able to find Li Ru and help you find the antidote, you can rest assured to play, it will be a good tomorrow when you come back", Cao Cao nodded firmly, and gave Xi Zhicai a comforting look

"That's right, Wang Situ was poisoned and comatose in the past, and the symptoms were similar to mine, and it is estimated that he should have been hit by the Intoxicating Heart Pill, but the Intoxicating Heart Pill was the unique secret medicine of Fan Lao in the past, Li Ru is obviously the descendant of Fan Lao, Fan Lao's wisdom is unparalleled, and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty are afraid of it, plus the life and death of Chang'an after the First World War are uncertain, it is estimated that it is difficult to find", Xi Zhicai was not optimistic about the situation, but analyzed carefully

"This", Cao Cao also had to sigh, in fact, what Xi Zhicai said was also true, otherwise Xun You would not have left overnight, Li Ru was already full of wisdom, and now he has given up Chang'an and retreated, there must be a bigger conspiracy in it, it is not easy to find him and get the antidote, but he still said, "I believe Gongda, his resourcefulness is not under Li Ru, and his adaptability is super strong, he will definitely live up to my expectations"

"In fact, when the talented girl told the truth, I had already woken up, with the ability and resourcefulness of the talented woman, I was still helpless, I had already been mentally prepared, death was no big deal for me, if it weren't for Qingqing and the belief in my heart to support me, I would never let Qingqing wait for me for so long, now Qingqing has the lord to take care of, Feng Xiaowen Ruogong Da Boyan old man They are all under the command of the lord, the lord will dominate the world just around the corner, and I don't have any big regrets", Xi Zhicai patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said with a smile

Zhen Qing immediately turned away when she heard this, covered her little face with both hands, and tried not to let Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai see her crying, she was a smart girl, and she never showed weakness in front of outsiders

"Zhicai, even if I can dominate the world, if there is no you, who can be my mirror and my lighthouse", Cao Cao's natural drama Zhicai said is true, but Xi Zhicai has accompanied him through many ups and downs, which are all experiences that the current strategists have not had, even if it is Guo Jia, Cao Cao does not have the status of drama Zhicai in his heart

"The lord should remember, don't talk about the status of sentiment, can't let the subordinates centrifuge, the reward and punishment is clearly what the British lord does, I play Zhicai even if there is a small merit and don't often hang on the lips, people are always afraid of comparison, now the lord has a prince in the west of the Gongda Zixiao, Chang'an will be at your fingertips soon after, there is Feng Xiao Bo Yan Yuan let Zilian in the south, defeat Yuan Shu and consolidate Yuzhou, there is a wonderful old man Wen Zezhen Xuzhou in the east, there is Wen Ruozi Yang inside, as long as it is stable for a few more years, seize Chang'an and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and take Xuzhou Huainan with lightning speed, when you can compete with the rich land of the Central Plains to confront the north, and Yuan Benchu decisive battle in Hebei, after unifying the north, it is not a big problem to go south to the south of the Yangtze River and conquer Xiliang in the west, I'm just a little regretful, three months is too short, if I can have three years, see the scene of the lord unifying the Central Plains and the decisive battle of Hebei Megatron, then I will die without regrets", Xi Zhicai sighed for a long time, and Cao Cao raised a glass and drank

"Unify the Central Plains and fight Hebei", Cao Cao muttered these eight words a little casually, and then slapped his thigh sharply and said, "That's right, I can't let Zhicai sleep with regret, I want to take Xuzhou within three months and unify the Central Plains"

Cao Cao stood up abruptly and was about to leave

Xi Zhicai hurriedly got up and grabbed Cao Cao, and said, "Lord, this must not be, now Yuzhou is not stable, the battle of Yuzhou can be seen, the hearts of the people in Yuzhou are not attached, Xuzhou is as stable as Mount Tai under the governance of Tao Qian, and now we have no worries about launching a big war, the previous Taoguang Yanghui will collapse instantly, and the princes of all parties will be wary of us, and our soldiers are also exhausted, not enough to start a big war, and Xuzhou and we have no grievances, rash attack will be condemned by the princes of the world"

"No, I will definitely be able to find a way, since I can't be sure that I can find an antidote for you, I must not let you sleep with regrets, even if it is to offend the world, I will admit the supreme infamy on my back, even if I know that this is a defeated battle, for the sake of you, I will not hesitate", Cao Cao shook his head and said with a firm expression

"This, why bother with the lord", Xi Zhicai suddenly regretted in his heart, and said with a bitter face, for what he said for a while, he launched an army, worked the people and lost money, and suddenly lost the hearts of the people, although Xi Zhicai was very moved, but he secretly scolded himself countless times

Cao Cao soon left, and Xi Zhi naturally knew that he must have gone to gather the generals to discuss

"Feng Xiao, that's right, only if Feng Xiao takes the lead in opposing it, will there be room for turning around in this matter", Xi Zhi suddenly woke up, immediately opened the door, and muttered that he was going to find Guo Jia

"Brother Zhicai, are you looking for me", almost at the same time, Guo Jia also opened the door and said with a smile

"Fengxiao, you didn't even persuade the lord, how long have you been here", as soon as Xi Zhicai saw Guo Jia, he immediately gave him a complaining look and said

"I already came here when you were working, but I was afraid that I would let Brother Zhicai pull me to be a strong man, so I naturally waited outside the door", Guo Jia sat down next to Xi Zhicai with an indifferent face, and then hugged Zhen Qing, who was struggling to squeeze out a smile and smile at him, in his arms and put her on his lap

"Qingqing, do you remember that you asked me about your mother before, I didn't tell you that you kicked me several times", Guo Jia skillfully took out a small silk scarf from Zhen Qing's waist, gently wiped the tears on the corners of Zhen Qing's eyes, and smiled

"I'm sorry, Brother Fengxiao", Zhen Qing was suddenly guided, buried in Guo Jia's arms, and cried

"Fengxiao, don't you know that it's really not good to attack Xuzhou at this time", Xi Zhicai poured Guo Jia a glass of wine and continued to complain

"Brother Zhicai, you have always wanted me to start a family, I have figured it out, I have already ordered to go down, I will get married in three days, and please marry you and Meng Dewen if you are my main husband, I will marry with Xiao Bao and Xiao Rou'er", Guo Jia did not answer Xi Zhicai's question, but touched Zhen Qing's little head, and said with a smile, "Qingqing, Brother Fengxiao is going to get married, do you want to marry me too, I am a rare beautiful man in the world, wisdom and beauty are equally important"

If it was in the past, Guo Jia frolicked with Zhen Qing like this, Zhen Qing would definitely blush and be shy, but now, she only felt extremely cordial

"Fengxiao, how can this be, why do you have to wronged yourself for me, even if you really want to get married, you can't be very fast, wouldn't it be better to wait for me to come back for two or three months" , Xi Zhicai said a little anxiously, he has known Guo Jia since he was a child, he naturally knows that this brother who he regards as a brother and friend has a higher heart than the sky, he is a strange person, he never likes to be low-key, his wedding is naturally vigorous and known to the world, but only those three days, even the officials of Yanzhou may not be able to catch up, purely to meet his own wishes by the way to resign for himself

"I've thought about it, I'll do a small one now, and then after the lord dominates the world, I will hold another big one, and after that, I will retire to the rivers and lakes and wander around as my son, so Brother Zhicai, you have to prepare a second gift", Guo Jia smiled faintly, drank a glass of wine, and then magically poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhen Qing and said, "Qingqing, do you want to marry me, it doesn't matter if you don't think about it, my second wedding can add you in addition to the little baby and the little Rou'er" , Guo Jia looked compassionate and handed the wine to Zhen Qing, this is one of the few plain flower wines in Guo Jia's ring, full of floral wine, but unable to get drunk

Xi Zhicai was speechless for a moment, he looked at Guo Jia's faint smiling face, and made a decision in his heart, if possible, he must live well, looking at his younger brother, who has both talent and virtue, and will accept the congratulations of the princes of the world in the future

"Brother Fengxiao, you look so ugly, I don't want you to be my husband", Zhen Qing Lihua took the wine glass with tears, took a sip, and said angrily

"Then you will lose a lot, so be it, you will call me brother in the future, okay", Guo Jia saw this, and immediately flicked Zhen Qing's pretty nose with his fingertips and said with a smile

"Fengxiao, you will make people gossip, Qingqing has the lord to take care of you, it's okay", Xi Zhicai saw that Guo Jia was reluctant to talk about political affairs, and when he talked about Zhen Qing, he immediately persuaded

Now Zhen Qing is Cao Cao's daughter, that is the little princess of Yanzhou, although Guo Jia is a military advisor, but his status is not as good, if he and Zhen Qing marry Jinlan, some people will definitely say that Guo Jia climbs the golden branch, and he is the strange Shu Huang who abducted the little Lori

"Haha, many people scold me and want me to die, but if I care about them, I would have been tired to death", Guo Jia smiled indifferently and continued, "Qingqing, you are Mengde's daughter, Mengde's boys can still bully you, but you are my little sister, no one in the world can bully you", Guo Jia said with a coquettish face

"You will talk nonsense, then you are more powerful than the Lord and the father-in-law", Zhen Qing couldn't help but smile and said

"Of course I'm the best", Guo Jia smiled, and then said to Xi Zhicai, "Brother Zhicai, it's your wish to go on the expedition, don't expect me to stop it, as long as you want, I can lead the troops to Hebei tomorrow and take Yecheng"

"Fengxiao, that's just what I said casually, the lord is serious, you have to think about the overall situation", Xi Zhi saw this and said helplessly

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, and drank wine with Xi Zhicai

"Feng Xiao is right, that's Zhicai's wish, no one can stop me from sending troops to Xuzhou, as for the infamy and the victory or defeat of this battle, let's talk about it", Cao Cao pushed the door and said loudly, then his face softened and said to Zhen Qing, "Qingqing, Feng Xiao is right, even if you are my daughter, those bastards may still bully you and you dare not say it to me, but if you become Fengxiao's little sister, Fengxiao can beat them for me"

"Hahaha, Meng De, you are interesting enough, I am a fox and a fake tiger, and you still lied for me", Guo Jia laughed, and immediately poured wine for Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao, and said

"This is not a lie, Feng Xiaozhi is scheming, far-sighted, never do useless things, if you want to teach my boys, it must be their fault first, I Cao Mengde is not blessed to give birth to a dragon, those bastard boys don't want to touch me", Cao Cao also laughed, toasted to Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, and said

The next day, Cao Cao ordered the generals to be summoned and held a meeting in the mansion of the Marquis of Yanzhou

The comers looked at the formation, and immediately understood a lot in their hearts, many people were in a complicated mood, this is a formal meeting of the table and chair formation, using the preparation of the imperial court, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, left and right is Dian Wei Xu Chu, the following is divided into civil and military sitting, Wenchen is headed by Xi Zhicai, respectively, Guo Jiaxun Yu Cheng Yu is full of favor Liu Ye Mao Yu Lu Qian, except for Xun Yu who went west to Chang'an, Cao Cao's strategists are all together

Generally speaking, if it is not a large-scale battle or an important policy meeting, Xiahoulan will not appear, and even if it appears, it will not sit in a high position, and generally speaking, Cao Cao will only sit at a round table when he holds a meeting, and there is no distinction between high and low in a group, and now it is obviously a large-scale battle, which is a good thing for military generals, because this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but for strategists, this is a bad thing, after all, the war is about money, and it disrupts their economic construction and makes plans to ensure logistics, which really makes them die a lot of brain cells

"Everyone, I called you here today to announce three things, the first thing, Zhicai has been working hard for me Yanzhou for so long, he hasn't had a holiday, he wants to go around, I decided to put on a banquet for him in four days to practice, and please come early", Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened today's topic, and then he said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, in the days when Zhicai left, Yanzhou will ask you, thank you for your hard work"

"Thank you for your concern, Wen Ruo will do your best, and please think twice about Zhicai's safety", Xun Yu suddenly got up to accept the order, and said indifferently, he looked at Xi Zhicai, and a trace of reluctance and sadness flashed in his eyes

"Wen Ruo can rest assured, this time I will let Zhong Kang accompany Zhicai, and by the way, review the effectiveness of the Tiger Guard, Zhong Kang, you have to protect Zhicai well", Cao Cao nodded at Xun Yu and said to Xu Chu

"Please rest assured, I will definitely protect the military division", Xu Chu immediately received the order and said loudly

"Little carpenter, you also go and share the work of Wen Ruo, don't hide anymore, otherwise I will dismantle your hot spring bath", Guo Jia directly smashed the tender fan at Liu Ye, and then said

"Ah, how is this happening, Brother Zhicai, I'll go play with you, I can protect you", Liu Ye suddenly cried with a sad face, took the tender fan and handed it to Cheng Yu, and begged for mercy at Xi Zhicai

"Oh, Ziyang actually has such a talent", Cao Cao was suddenly puzzled, his eyes flashed, looking at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, after arriving in Yanzhou, among the strategists, the most low-key is this young craftsman who has nothing to do every day, Cao Cao only knows that his carpenter group and himself are very proficient in machinery, and they are brilliant in the Battle of Yuzhou, but they don't know that this is still a strategist who is comparable to Xun Yu

After a group of strategists arrived in Yanzhou, they all had different performances, Xun Yu was far-sighted, the espionage ability was super-first-class, Xun Yu's political, economic and military skills were all excellent, one top more than a dozen officials, Liu Ye was proficient in machinery, and repaired all the city defenses in Yanzhou, so that Cao Cao was shocked, full of favor and good governance, and governed Xuchang, the future land of dragons and tigers, like an iron bucket, and the people's praise came every day, although Lu Qian Mao Jue did not have any outstanding performance, but every time he fought with Cao Hong to fight the autumn wind, Cao Hong had to praise it when he came back, and Cheng Yu, the old drunkard, directly let Xiahou Yuan even give up the throne willingly, and followed him every day, all made Cao Cao admire, and Cao Cao's favor also made a group of strategists very reassured, not only the salary became the second in the world after Yecheng, but also corruption and bribery became dispensable, as long as they gave a reason, there was no word for corruption and bribery, just like Cheng Yu said I have no money to buy wine, a rich man immediately gave him five thousand taels of silver, Cao Cao also turned a blind eye, as for Yecheng's military division salary system, it can't be compared, people's senior military divisions are all free, too fierce

Everyone laughed, through the conversation, everyone knew that this young man called the little carpenter was very humorous, although he was a descendant of the royal family, but he had no reservations about Cao Cao, many strange machines were in the army, and the city defense everywhere became as stable as Mount Tai, everyone knew that this beautiful woman-like guy was a strange person, and they all knew that he also soaked in hot springs every day, and was an extremely luxurious guy

"Ziyang, although you are reluctant to admit your royal status, but you are the subordinate of the lord, it is natural to love the people of Yanzhou, you have to help Wen Ruo after I leave, don't let Wen Ruo grow old in advance, otherwise Xiao Rou'er will add fuel to the fire, and Fengxiao will come to beat you again", Xi Zhicai smiled and said

"You will bully children", Liu Ye lowered his head unhappily, causing everyone to laugh again

"The second thing, that is, Fengxiao will get married in three days, and you who have not yet prepared a congratulatory gift, hurry up, I can advance your salary for the next few years, and also open the treasury for you to choose", Cao Cao smiled happily and said loudly

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the audience, except for Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, who could laugh, everyone else was dumb

"Lord, I suddenly remembered that I should have a stomachache that day, I think I still do", Cao Hong immediately woke up, didn't even look at Guo Jia, and said directly to Cao Cao, but was glared at by Guo Jia's sharp eyes, and suddenly couldn't speak

But Cao Hong was not the only one who had such a reaction, everyone else gave Guo Jia a frightened look, looking like you were not going to let me go, and they wanted to stop talking

In fact, if it weren't for Cao Cao's presence, it is estimated that the tree would have fallen apart long ago, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at each other and couldn't help but think

"If you want to ask for leave, you don't have to tell me, it's not me who is married", Cao Cao smiled happily, as if he was going to marry his daughter, and then his face became serious, and he said, "The third thing, after Fengxiao gets married, I want to capture Xuzhou within two and a half months and unify the Central Plains"

"Ah", except for Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, all of them directly opened their mouths and shocked the spot

Capture Xuzhou, unify the Central Plains that is Cao Cao's only way to pass, but now is not too fast, first analyze, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are next door, Xuzhou border also has Xiahou Yuan's tens of thousands of troops, on the bright side, the capture of Xuzhou is not a big problem, but in fact, Xuzhou has been tempered for a long time, under the governance of the old fox Tao Qian, the people's hearts are attached, the economy is rich, and there will be stubborn resistance in the face of aggression, and there are almost no people who dare to betray after the Zhao Yu incident, it can be said that to fight Xuzhou must be after a bloody battle, because no people will accept Cao Cao, a strange invader, and betray Tao Gongzu, who has treated them well for decades, and secondly, Xuzhou's terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, Yuan Shu can only use subtle means to first take down the officials of Xuzhou, garrison 100,000 troops in the south of Xuzhou, if Xuzhou is really so easy to fight, how can Yuan Shu let go, this also shows that to take Xuzhou at the same time to lay down Yuan Shu's Huainan, and then Tao Qian and the princes next to him have a good personal relationship, once there is a war, Beihai will not sit idly by, Qingzhou will also join, if it attracts the king of the plains, then there is no need to fight, and the court will be happy to see Cao Cao attack Xuzhou, then the plains can officially go south and disturb the Central Plains, after all, the king of the plains is still the nominal king of the Central Plains, and Yuan Shao will definitely encourage the court to do this and take Qingzhou, and that's only external

Yanzhou is now Yuzhou people's hearts are not attached, the war has just ended, it is the time to recuperate, Yanzhou has Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, the court and Lu Bu in the west, the war is very predictable of their reaction, and this is the opposite they have always been Taoguang and obscure, you don't fight me, I develop, you fight me, I destroy your principle, now after Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shu, Yu Ban is also defeated by Xiahou Yuan, Yanzhou, who has just received a million silver reward from the court, is the focus of attention at this time, how could the wise and martial hero Cao Cao make such a wrong decision, and this still has to be put after the private matter, is it said that in Cao Cao's eyes, private affairs are more important than public affairs

The most important thing is that the war is not something that can be fought in one or two months, the liaison of the army, the gathering of grain and grass, all of this takes time, two and a half months, can defeat Xuzhou unless there is a miracle

"Lord, this matter must not be allowed", almost at the same time, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren all stood up, and one after another, Xiahou Xuan, Liu Ye, Mao Jue, Lu Qian, and Cao Chun all stood up, and only Xi Zhicai, Xiahou Lan, Guo Jia, Man Zhong and Cao Hong could still sit still

"Why not, Wen Ruo said, this is Zhicai's wish, I can't guarantee to find the antidote to the intoxicating pill, but I must not let him sleep with hatred", Cao Cao snorted coldly and said coldly

When the generals heard this, they all looked at Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai's face was full of remorse and helplessness, and when the generals saw this, they also sat down one after another, only Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan were still standing

"Lord, Xuzhou Tao Qian has won the hearts of the people, he has Yuan Shu behind him, we can't take down Xuzhou Huainan in a short time, Qingzhou and the king of the plains will not sit back and watch Xuzhou be breached, Wancheng is even more Lu Bu, we move, there will be many obstacles, and we are not attached to the people in Yuzhou, the war has just passed the battle has not recovered, and please think twice", Xun Yu is in charge of economic and political affairs, his vision is extremely far-sighted, he obviously sees that this battle can not be fought

"Miaocai, you say, why are you against it", Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan coldly and said

"My lord, I stayed in Taishan County for some time, and found that the people of Xuzhou regard Tao Qian as a god, although nominally Cao Bao is in charge of the north of Xuzhou, but in fact, Cao Bao cannot fully control the north of Xuzhou, we may be able to take Xuzhou, but it is impossible in two and a half months, and I think, this is not the time", Xiahou Yuan turned his head and did not dare to look at Cao Cao, he could only say his opinion loudly

"Lord, if what they said is right, it is indeed not suitable to work the people and waste money at this time, as long as you retreat for a few years, it is not difficult to take Xuzhou, I promise the lord that he will live strongly, and ask the lord to take back his life", Xi Zhicai also hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly

"Fengxiao, you say, how about we win this time", Cao Cao hurriedly picked up Xi Zhicai and said to Guo Jia

"There is a ninety percent chance of losing this battle, but it must be fought," Guo Jia said loudly as he swept away his friends who winked at him

Everyone including Cao Cao was also stunned, since there was ninety percent certainty that he would lose, it was equivalent to losing, how could he still fight the war that he would lose, Cao Cao was also puzzled, he really couldn't understand what Guo Jia meant

"Wen Ruo and Miaocai are right, we really won't be able to take Xuzhou in two and a half months, and besides, the people will be wasted", Guo Jia directly agreed with Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan's words, which suddenly made people feel even more confused, but no one interrupted him, he continued, " We must send troops to Xuzhou to attack directly, Yu Ban can not be mobilized, otherwise it will be discovered, we will attack Xuzhou will also be bloody, very difficult, and when we enter the hinterland of Xuzhou, even if Yuan Shu does not intervene, Tao Qian will also ask for help in Beihai, ask for help in the plain king, and at this time Lu Bu will definitely come to fight the autumn wind, we will fall into the dilemma of two ways to attack, at this time Yuzhou will also have turmoil, and even affect Yanzhou, a little careless will fall into a place of no return"

When Cao Cao and the others heard this, they couldn't help but turn pale, and they were even more puzzled, if so, why did they attack Xuzhou and kill themselves

"Fengxiao, if you say this, it's still a hair, I don't want me to even have no money to buy wine in the future", Cheng Yu suddenly drank a glass of wine and said obscenely

"Fight, must fight, because this is the wish of the eldest brother Zhicai, this is the order of the lord, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister does not die as disloyalty, we are now defeated by Yuan Shu in the south and the yellow turban in the east, which has been feared by all parties, and the contradiction between Yanzhou and Yuzhou has gradually deepened, we need a big war, we need a defeat to save the situation, as long as we lose without losing the main force, Yanzhou and Yuzhou will work together to resist the enemy, and all the unstable factors in Yanzhou and Yuzhou will be exposed and pacified, whether it is Lu Bu or the imperial court, Yuan Shu or the king of the plains, we must fight back fiercely and act like a madman, then we will threaten the Son of Heaven in the future to make the princes no one dare to say that it can't be, maybe the effect will be better after our meditation, but the military order is like a mountain, since the lord said to fight, we will resolutely fight, even if we will be defeated tomorrow, we must reserve the energy of revenge for the day after tomorrow", Guo Jia analyzed loudly and said coldly

"That's it, little Guo Jia said that he could fight, what are we hesitating about", Cao Hongna is Guo Jia's military iron fan, and when he saw Guo Jia say crooked reasoning, he immediately responded, stood up and said loudly

"Go aside, what are the children involved in", Guo Jia directly threw out a big wine jar and ignored Cao Hong

Cao Cao and everyone fell into deep thought, fighting, it should not be beaten, but if it can't be beaten, it can establish a thought, a kind of crazy wind vane that I am never afraid of anyone, and defeat without losing the main force, we still occupy the initiative in the war, we can't beat Xuzhou, we can't lay the foreshadowing in Xuzhou, and the unstable factors in Yuzhou are not a day or two, if Lu Bu dares to come by the way, it is indeed a good thing to clear him and Yuzhou, which can increase Yanzhou's sense of suffering, but this is not so good compared to the steady and steady development of stability

"My lord, our teacher is unknown, we will be condemned by the world, and we will expose our ambitions by doing so", Mao Jue tried to dissuade with righteousness, and said

"The world speaks with fists, and we are not doing things that anger and resentment now, we don't have to worry about the attack of the alliance of princes in the world, and Jingyang and the two states are dead, Xiliang and Bashu are too busy to take care of themselves, the court is chaotic, Hebei is fighting in the house, we don't have too many enemies, as for the division is famous, we can use a bitter trick, please ask the old lady to go back to Yanzhou, as for the future infamy, I will be it", Guo Jia snorted lightly and retorted

Bitter meat plan, everyone suddenly looked at Guo Jia in an uproar, and was immediately shocked by his boldness, you must know that now Cao Cao's old man is in Xuzhou, please invite him back, naturally no problem, but the old lady's family has a big business, as long as a propaganda is not careful, Tao Qian's brigade of thieves and yellow turbans will definitely want to make a windfall, this is gambling with the old lady's life
