Chapter 162: Troubled Times
Cao Cao actually just sighed, and was not really discouraged and depressed.
After listening to Xun You's long talk, Cao Cao immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "I didn't expect to sigh at a certain time, but I threw bricks and jade to lead to Gongda's insight!" ”
"Liu Xuande is a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, although he is popular for a while, he is just a deceitful and famous thief after all. Nowadays, everyone in the world can see that the time has changed, and the Han fortune is coming to an end, but this person is still delusional about the glory and prosperity of the past. It's ridiculous, sad and lamentable! ”
"Such people are not to be worried, but sooner or later they will bring about their own destruction. But the current situation in the world is not the time to indulge him in one side. Otherwise, it may really make him change his life against the sky! ”
"It's actually that Zhang Wenjin who has a headache. A certain originally thought that it was just a little lucky Xiliang remnant, Shouchun battle, but this person greatly shocked a certain handful. ”
"This person acts rigorously and delicately, and is almost impeccable in all aspects, as if he knows the situation in this world well, and he knows and recognizes all the civil and military heroes in the world. Never give in to the talented people under him, and never trade with the mediocre people. Its ability to recognize and use people can really only be described in a terrifying word! ”
Xun You said solemnly: "Zhang Wenjin is indeed a genius who is rare to see in a hundred years and rare in a thousand years. It is not without reason that his people have a unique vision, and it is not for nothing that Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and Liu Ye are willing to give advice to them. Its employment is indeed just right, and it is not unreasonable that Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Lu Mian and others can regain their vitality under their hands. ”
"However, since ancient times, no one is perfect, how can Zhang Wenjin be exempt? His ability to treat people is a big step worse than Ming Gong! ”
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Gongda doesn't have to say that he will praise me even if he criticizes others." I know best who I am, if it weren't for this troubled world, I must have been just a gentleman in Luodu! ”
"I just don't like Yuan Benchu, Liu Xuande, those people have a belly of flowery intestines, but they always pretend to be serious, people always have seven emotions and six desires, what about some flowery intestines, can you change the essence of people? Life should be more spontaneous and natural, why be so pretentious and tired? ”
Xun You smiled: "It is precisely because of this that Ming Gong can gather a group of loyal civil and military officers!" But Zhang Wenjin is not necessarily. ”
"A certain person in Shouchun once carefully observed Zhang Wenjin and found that although this person had a grace to meet his subordinates, he seemed to not often communicate with his subordinates because of some unspeakable secrets or unavoidable reasons. The only ones around him who can really be regarded as confidants are Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang and a few others. For example, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others, although they all obeyed Zhang Xiu, they were only in righteousness, not out of empathy with Zhang Xiu. ”
"Actually, I also noticed this." Cao Cao groaned a little and continued: "Zhang Xiu, although he is a native of the Xiliang borderland, his words and deeds are strange. In his early years, he was well-informed in Luoyang, but he couldn't tell the origin of Zhang Xiu's accent. A trace of Yongliang accent actually seems to be mixed with a hint of the taste of Yanzhao's land, which is very weird! And its hands and feet are stiff like a beginner, and the etiquette is forgotten from time to time, as if the devil is stunned. ”
Xun You nodded: "When Ming Gong said this, he suddenly remembered something. Did Ming Gong ever remember Li Tong, the commander of Yang'an? ”
Cao Cao frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally searched for Li Tong in his mind, and said suspiciously: "But the young man who led the crowd to vote for Xuchang, and then Wen Ruobiao was the commander of Yang'an, but when Zhang Wenjin entered Huainan, he turned his back on our army?" ”
Xun You: "It's this person!" ”
Under Zhang Wenjin, this person was responsible for the military affairs of Tuntian, and played a great role in relieving the hunger and drought in Huainan for Zhang Wenjin. I heard that he is now among the generals under Zhang Wenjin and is extremely important. ”
Cao Cao: "I know all this, and it was indeed me who was careless at that time, but it's a pity that this general is a talent." ”
Xun You shook his head: "What the minister wants to say is not about this matter, but that our army was still planting some fine works under Li Tong at that time. With the submission of Li Tongbu to Zhang Xiujun, a fine worker also sent a letter to Xuchang, which was not touched at that time, but now it seems that he has ignored a very important point. ”
The letter said that Zhang Wenjin had passed out once due to grief and loss of strength after his uncle died in Nanyang, and I heard those old Xiliang soldiers say that this Zhang Xiu woke up from that coma, and his temperament changed greatly, as if he had changed a person, and even the first few days after waking up did not even know how to wear underwear, and he was twisted like a three-year-old child when he ate and lived. At that time, he was still idle as a fine worker, but now it seems that many of Zhang Wenjin's whimsical things may arise because of this! ”
Cao Cao quietly listened to Xun You's words, pondered for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing: "I see, I see, I said how do I feel that Zhang Wenjin always seems to be shrouded in a sense of indifference, so this person's governance of Huainan and his recent massacre of Jiangdong have some explanations." I see, I'm afraid this person will be a big opponent for me! ”
Xun Yu was noncommittal: "Maybe! Whether this person is reborn still has to be re-examined, and the urgent thing today is to decide the matter of Xuzhou first. ”
After a big circle, he went back to the moment, but Cao Cao's face no longer saw the initial hesitation and dilemma, and said loudly: "A certain has already been decided." ”
Although he knew Cao Cao's "decision", Xun You still asked: "I don't know what the Ming Duke will do?" ”
"If the troubled times are settled early, then they are not troubled times." Cao Cao squinted and smiled: "There was once a person who commented on me, and that sentence still seems to linger in my ears today. ”
"That sentence says, I, Cao Mengde, am a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times."
"Neng Chen can't get rid of the word 'minister' anymore, since I, Cao Cao, can show my majesty in troubled times, then make this troubled world more exciting!"
Cao Cao: "I know all this, and it was indeed me who was careless at that time, but it's a pity that this general is a talent." ”
