"Go back to Xu County, don't care about your uncles," Cao Ang smiled helplessly, patted Liu Ping's shoulder, and turned to leave.

I heard Cao Chun outside count Cao Ang for a while, it seemed that Cao Ang shouldn't have come to Liu Ping, but Cao Ang didn't listen to this little uncle at all, and the two argued a few words, and their voices gradually drifted apart.

Regarding the snub of the Cao clan, Liu Ping was helpless, but he could understand it.

These days on the eastward journey, Cao Cao has done his duty as a courtier.

Not only did he pay more courtesies to the emperor and the Manchu ministers, but even when he should be stationed and when he should leave, such trivial matters as he asked the emperor for instructions every day.

In the eyes of the Cao generals, the eldest brother is handing over power.

From the beginning, they followed the eldest brother to fight the world, and they have long been accustomed to the eldest brother ordering the generals and killing decisively, but now that someone suddenly begins to give orders to the eldest brother, how do they accept it psychologically?

Although they were also against welcoming the Son of Heaven before, they never expected that the Son of Heaven would become such a situation, so it is not surprising that they spoke coldly to Liu Ping, the initiator.

However, although Liu Ping didn't care about the attitude of the Cao clan, he couldn't care less about Cao Cao's thoughts.

He knew that his father-in-law was by no means a good-tempered person, and he was definitely enduring it with his tail between his legs every day, for fear that if he planted a thorn in his father-in-law's heart, it would be troublesome.

So it's better to pull out the thorn as soon as possible.

"The son-in-law is polite!" Liu Ping took advantage of the evening to go to Cao Cao's tent and saw that he was reading a book by an oil lamp.

"It's Ping'er, sit," Cao Cao looked up at Liu Ping, his eyes returned to the book, and said casually: "Why, these days by your uncles snubbed, I feel angry?" ”

"To your uncles, how dare the son-in-law be angry," Liu Ping knelt down in front of Cao Cao and sat down, and said with a slight smile: "The son-in-law is afraid that his father-in-law will be angry." ”

"You mean in the court? Those are nothing. ”

Cao Cao put down the scroll in his hand, stared at the lamp and said thoughtfully: "It's just that at the beginning, Feng Xiaowenruo and others all said that the Son of Heaven ordered not to be a minister, but if it is divided today, the princes are in their own ways, and those who are not subordinate are eight or nine times out of ten, who can the edict of the Son of Heaven order?" ”

Although Cao Cao followed the advice of Guo Jiaxun and Liu Ping to welcome the Son of Heaven, he did not foresee the great benefits of welcoming the Son of Heaven like Liu Ping did.

Now he is not without doubts in his heart, after all, the princes have been separated for a long time, and everyone is used to doing their own thing, who cares about the Son of Heaven?

In this way, he ushered in the Son of Heaven, and it is unknown whether it is a hot potato.

"No one can give orders," Liu Ping shook his head with a smile, "The son-in-law once said that the purpose of welcoming the Son of Heaven is to win the hearts of the people of the world, not to give orders. ”

"How difficult it is to win the hearts of the world's corporans," Cao Cao sighed, stood up, and paced back and forth to dispel the irritability in his heart.

Previously, Cao Cao had no trouble recruiting talents, so he built a talent museum in Yanzhou. As long as there is a little bit of fame, they will send people to conquer it. No matter whether his reputation is good or bad, as long as he is talented, he can be appointed.

Unfortunately, it had little effect.

Just because there is only one assassin mansion to conquer, it is not attractive to famous scholars.

Second, the Cao family started by eunuchs and was despised by scholars.

Third, Cao Cao once killed Bian Rang with a rod, and his reputation was too bad.

So that Yanzhou is so close to Yingchuan County, where there are many celebrities, so far only Xun Yu and Guo Jia are in the Cao camp among the Yingchuan celebrities, Xun Yu's brother Xun Yue, and his nephew Xun Yu are all talents, but they refuse to come to serve.

This inevitably gave Cao Cao a headache, he was known to be eloquent, and he knew that it was not enough to rely on the elite soldiers and brave soldiers to conquer the world, but also needed scribes to assist him in his internal affairs.

But the scribes did not come, and he could not send for them.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and continued: "What's more, when today's son is established by Dong Zhuo, the world doesn't even recognize Dong Zhuo, how can he recognize the son of heaven he established?"

That's it, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk about these things, everything will be talked about back in Xu County.

You don't have to worry, and don't blame your uncles, whether it's right or wrong, I'm the one who makes the final decision.

If it's really wrong, I'll take it all in.

I'm going to be on my way tomorrow, so let's go back early and rest. ”

"The son-in-law retired, and the father-in-law rested earlier."

Hearing these words, Liu Ping's heart warmed.

Cao Cao at this time has this benefit, even if something fails, he does not blame the person who gave him the idea, he will take all the responsibility to reassure people.

For example, in the upcoming battle of Wancheng, there was a big defeat, and he took all the responsibility for the defeat on his own head, and he did not see any mention in the historical materials, he blamed Guo Jiacheng, Yu Xun Yu and other strategists.

Moreover, Dian Wei Cao Ang and Cao Anmin died in battle at the same time, he only cried Dian Wei and did not mention Cao Ang, these are the most basic qualities to achieve hegemony.

Outside the tent, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the cool breeze is blowing.

The entire barracks was silent and heavily guarded, and groups of patrol soldiers walked around, but when they saw Liu Ping, they all stopped, and bowed down to let him go first.

……

The army was not only one day, but it was nearly dusk when it arrived on the outskirts of Xu County.

Since Cao Hong garrisoned the army here, Xu County has recruited displaced people to build it, and it has begun to take shape at this time.

And since Cao Cao moved the people of Pengcheng County here, the surrounding areas of the county have gradually become popular.

Villages gradually formed, and at this time, the smoke of cooking stoves was curling, the fields were dotted with peasants cleaning up the fields, and the drooping children were chasing and playing on the roadside.

Liu Xie lifted the curtain and saw the idyllic scenery outside, and couldn't help sighing, and said to Queen Fu next to him: "There is still such a place in the world, Cao Qing is really a capable minister who governs the world." ”

Empress Fu was dignified, looking at the emperor full of interest, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "Your Majesty was fortunate to listen to Liu Qing's words that day, otherwise I wouldn't know where to run around today." ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he made Liu Xie the Son of Heaven, but since then his good life has come to an end.

Every day is spent in fear, every day is seen by swords and swords and dry bones in the wild, and the emperor and queen really haven't enjoyed any peaceful days.

Suddenly came to Xu County, and saw that the farmers could farm with confidence, which was like following up the paradise.

"What Liu Qing said is good, I have come here to come to the right place," Liu Xie said with great interest: "After settling down, I want to carve out a field, cultivate it myself, and experience the hardships of farmers." ”

"Now the surrounding areas of Xu County are all His Majesty's home fields, and when the time comes, let Liu Qing carve out a piece, and the concubine and His Majesty will cultivate together."

The two looked at each other, remembering what it would be like for the two of them to plow the field at the same time in the future, and couldn't help but smile.

When the army arrived at the gate of the city, the county commander of Xu County had already led all the officials to wait on both sides.

"Greetings to Cao Envoy," said to Cao Cao with a full face full of excitement: "Envoy, great joy." ”
