Zhang Guang knew that Xiaoman and Xun Yu came over this time, and they must have come on behalf of Cao Cao to ask how Cao Jun should develop next.

"Xiaoman, the first thing you just said was to ask about the matter between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, but what about the second thing?"

"That, Brother Zhang Guang, you also know that you have the fierce general Dian Wei to protect you, and my father-in-law also wants to have such a loyal master to protect himself, so let me ask, Brother Zhang Guang, does anyone recommend it to my father-in-law?"

"Haha, recommended? I think Cao Cao has already set his sights on Guan Yu, right? Just wanted to ask me how I can get Guan Yu, right? Zhang Guang laughed, sampled, and played with me.

"That's right, my father-in-law does have a crush on Guan Yu, but the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, just like a person, want to get Guan Yu, it's very difficult."

"It's not that it's difficult, but Cao Cao definitely has no way to let Guan Yu assist him."

"Why?" Xiao Man was a little unconvinced, although it was more difficult, but he didn't believe that he was not as good as Liu Bei, and he couldn't convince Guan Yu of himself.

"Guan Yu, love and righteousness, if you want Guan Yu to assist Cao Cao, then you must ask Liu Bei to agree to assist Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, on the surface, is gentle, honest, benevolent, and righteous, but in fact, his heart is bigger than the sky, and he wants him to assist Cao Cao, unless Cao Cao gives him all the world."

"Alas!" Xiao Man sighed vigorously, it was right to think about it, and he regretted in his heart that he did not know Guan Yu in front of Liu Bei.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, Cao Cao has the appearance of an emperor, and he can become an emperor, it's not easy to get a loyal personal guard?"

"Brother Zhang Guang said quickly, who is it? Who? ”

"Xu Chu, the word Zhongkang, Qian County, when Cao Cao captures the land of Huai and Ru, Xu Chu will come to Shun Cao Cao."

"Compared with Dian Wei, a subordinate of Brother Zhang Guang, how is Xu Chu?" Xiao Man asked urgently.

"Haha, the secret of heaven must not be revealed."

Zhang Guang laughed again, Xiao Man's face was unhappy, why are there so many heavenly opportunities?

"Forget it, Brother Zhang Guang, the old rules, word measurement!"

Xiaoman handed Zhang Guang a piece of silk silk, opened it, and there was a big "garden" on it.

園, the traditional Chinese character of the garden, Zhang Guang looked at it, and he had the bottom in his heart.

This time, Zhang Guang did not continue to pretend to pinch his fingers, but handed Xiao Man a silk silk.

Unfolded, it is a geographical sketch of Yanzhou and Qingzhou hand-drawn by Zhang Guang.

"Cao Cao asked the two of them to bring the word 'garden' this time, which has a profound meaning."

"Literally, the inside is Yuan, which means Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the mouth outside is, of course, a siege."

"Between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan will be destroyed sooner or later, and at that time, if Cao Cao wants to become the overlord, there will be a battle of life and death between him and the two Yuan."

"The word 'garden' represents that Cao Cao is already planning for the future."

Xun Yu looked at Xiaoman, his father-in-law, but he never told him this, but he didn't expect his father-in-law to have a plan a long time ago.

Xiao Man smiled and said nothing, waiting for Zhang Guang to continue.

"Of course, Cao Cao can't just be limited to planning for a rainy day, if you have an idea, you have to do it."

"What's next? In the same way, it all falls on the word '園'. ”

"Garden, and the meaning of home, means that if Cao Cao wants to replace the two Yuan in the future, the most urgent thing now is to find a place where he can take root and concentrate on developing his strength."

"Brother Zhang Guang, tell me quickly, where is the place where my lord is suitable to take root?" Xiaoman approached Zhang Guang, looking very urgent, which made Zhang Guang feel funny.

As Cao Cao's guard, why are you in such a hurry? At most, it's just to get some silver and give you an official position that is not big or small.

"That's right, Zhang Guang, you say, where is the lord rooted and conducive to development?" Xun Yu is also urging.

"Well, last night I was watching the stars at night, and I had already guessed that you were coming, and I was about to go into the house to rest, when suddenly, the stars in the southwest direction changed, and the specific place was in my hands."

Zhang Guang rubbed his fingers again, and Xun Yu glared angrily.

"Zhang Guang, don't go too far, your current food and salary are all provided by my father-in-law, let you test a word, do you still want the lion to open his mouth?"

"Lord Xun Yu, you blame me wrongly, the heavenly machine must not be revealed, if I leak the heavenly machine, and Cao Cao does not give compensation, then this cause and effect will fall on Cao Cao, I am taking people's money and preventing disasters for others."

"Brother Zhang Guang, what do you want this time? I said that I would report to my lord when I got back. Xiaoman didn't care, anyway, he gave it to Zhang Guang, and he was also stationed in Chen for himself.

"Fifty thousand gold!"

"Zhang Guang, don't go too far, you used to be a daughter, but now you need 50,000 gold all at once? Do you really think that my lord is a fat sheep, let you slaughter it? Xun Yu was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Hehe, if you don't want to give money, you can give it to others."

"How much do you want?" This time Xiaoman is unhappy, you have so many soldiers and horses, so let you guard a Chenliu county, why are you doing so many soldiers and horses here?

"One, Wei Zhen."

"Wei Zhen?"

"That's right, Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen's son, Wei Zhen."

Since Zhang Guang met Wei Zhen in Zhang Miao's mansion, he has been waiting for him to come to the fortune-telling noodle shop to find him, but he has not waited.

It seems that only Cao Cao can come forward to let a rich second generation like Wei Zhen come to Chen Liuliu to help him achieve hegemony.

"What's so hard about that? As soon as he introduced a businessman, I asked him to move his family to Chen Liucheng when I turned around. ”

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was still some contempt for the profession of businessman, after all, there was an opportunity

The founding of the country and the monarch, the legacy of future generations, who still wants to care about the small profits of the rope?

Zhang Guang is not, he comes from the 21st century, and of course knows the importance of the economy to a regime.

Therefore, for this transaction, Zhang Guang and Cao Cao both felt that they had made a lot of money.

"Xu County!"

Zhang Guang designated his hand in the position of Xu County (Xuchang), Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.

"Xu County? This is Yuzhou's territory, and it is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, Brother Zhang Guang, what do you mean? ”

Not only Xiaoman was puzzled, but Xun Yu was also puzzled.

"Yes, it is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, but next year, Yuan Shu will lead his troops out of Nanyang to expand his strength to the north, and want to join forces with Gongsun Zhan, who has seized Youzhou, to form a situation of flanking Yuan Shao and Cao Cao from the north and south."

"At that time, with the skills of Cao Cao's subordinate generals, fighting Yuan Shu is the same as playing, and Xu County must be in the bag."

"Brother Zhang Guang, in this way, you suggested that my father-in-law go to Yuzhou?" Xiaoman asked.

"Of course, Yuzhou, a large grain producer, if Cao Cao wants to achieve hegemony, he must take Yuzhou, and at that time, he will welcome the Son of Heaven into Xu County, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things."

"Why is it Xu County, and not other places, for example, this Chen Liucheng?" Xun Yu asked.

"If Cao Cao takes the three prefectures of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Xu County is in the middle, and there is enough buffer space between it and the surrounding princes."

In addition, Xu County is located on the east bank of Yingshui, and Yinghe flows south into the Huai River. With the Yingshui transportation line, it is easy for Xu County to get the supply of surrounding materials. ”

"Moreover, the land near Xuxian County is fertile, irrigation is also convenient, and there is enough food to supply Xudu."

Xiaoman carefully put Zhang Guang's hand-drawn map close to him and left satisfied.

This time he came to Chenliu, and Cao Cao felt that he had gained a lot.

The wine conversation with Zhang Guang basically laid the foundation for his development goals and pace in the next few years, which allowed Cao Cao to save headaches many times.

"Xun Yu, what do you think?"

On the way back to Changyi, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, who had been bowing his head and was silent, and asked.

"Zhang Guang is a ghost. If all his calculations during the day are verified, within five years the Lord will be able to accomplish great things. ”

"What? Is Xun Yu a little skeptical of what Zhang Guang said? Cao Cao asked.

"Lord, you see, Zhang Guang's suggestions to the lord are all based on his calculations."

"First, Gongsun Chan will be defeated by Yuan Shao."

"Second, Yuan Shu will go north after the year, and he will be defeated by the lord."

"Third, within a few years, the lord will have the opportunity to welcome the current emperor into the capital."

"First, there are extenuating circumstances."

"The second and third, how did he calculate it? Could it be that Zhang Guang is really a god? ”

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao also fell into deep thought, that's right, if Zhang Guang didn't calculate any of these three, it was very likely that all his calculations would fail.

"Whether he is a god or not, I don't know, but the Guiguzi in the Spring and Autumn Period will definitely not reach the height of Zhang Guang."

"Xun Yu, let's not think about it too much, the next thing we have to do is to stabilize our forces in Yanzhou and Qingzhou."

"As for Yuzhou, Jizhou and other places, it depends on the situation."

"Believe it or not, at least Zhang Guang gave us a clear direction, go, go back to Changyi, and plan well."

The day after Cao Cao and Xun Yu returned to Changyi, they asked Li Dian to bring his own handwritten letter to Wei Zhen's mansion, and let Wei Zhen move his family to Chen Liucheng.
