Chapter 59: Cao Zhang's Turnaround

"A certain family doesn't blame Xuande Gong, his opening is too low, and the low one shouldn't even appear in this world." Tian Yu turned out to be at this time, and he also attracted Cao Zhang's gaze, "Needless to say, King Wei doesn't need to say, whether it is the support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, or the grandfather Cao Teng who is often criticized but no one dares to despise him, which of Cao Teng's forces dared to take the edge back then, so when King Wei was young, he dared to think and do, and he had a good reputation. ”

Cao Zhang deeply agrees with this, as the prince of Wei, he was naturally taught what he can do and what he can't do since he was a child, in his opinion, the things that his father did when he was young can't be done, if it wasn't for someone to protect him, he would have thrown his corpse into the wilderness.

Tian Yu took a sip of wine and continued, "Let's talk about the Jiangdong Sun family, the Sun family has many sons and grandchildren, and it is also considered a strong man in the territory of Wu County, Sun Jian is dead and Sun Ce, Sun Ce is dead and Sun Quan is dead, their family has learned that their power has been extremely strong after several generations of care. ”

These words also silenced everyone, Jiangdong has always been the pain of King Wei and everyone under his command, Jiangdong can't beat himself, a Zhang Wenyuan will let them keep breaking halberds, but he can't beat them himself, that kind of opponent is obviously very weak but just can't treat them is really bad.

"After talking about these two parties, let's talk about those other forces, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the two brothers of the Yuan family, one of them has the first county in the world, Runan County, and the other is a young and famous person who is recognized by the family, Tao Gongzu is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, and he has already owned Xuzhou when the troubled times come, if it weren't for the shady curtain of his emperor, do you think he would be so kind to give Xuzhou to Xuande Gong? Zhang Lu's family has been dominant in Hanzhong for two generations, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang have also had a smooth life in Yizhou, even if Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng is also worthy of the name of the Eight Horses with the name of the Han Emperor's Uncle officially certified by the Han Dynasty before he dares to enter Jingzhou, the family and the big families are flocking to it, and the rest of the people either started early or their parents started early to leave them enough family business, only Xuande Gong, you tell me, when he stood up, what was around him? ”

Cao Zhang was very silent after listening, he always looked down on Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei was lucky and able to run to finally become like this, but he ignored the world at that time, everyone had one or two or more bigger families behind him, only Liu Bei, except for a sack of straw sandals, the rest had nothing, no one knew how he said Su Shuang Zhang Shiping asked these two world-famous Zhongshan wealthy businessmen to support their own motley army with only three or two big cats and kittens, No one can know how he relied on these 500 township soldiers to survive on the battlefield where there were more than 100,000 people and went higher and higher, if it was said that the Ma family would take advantage of the situation, then Liu Bei would take advantage of the situation, if it was said that Gongsun Chan used to fight for his life, then Liu Bei worked harder than him, just because Liu Bei had no one to support, so even if he paid more, he still couldn't get a return.

"Hey." Cao Zhang sighed helplessly.

"Xuande Gong has been wandering for too long, and when he first saw the power of the family, he couldn't resist that impulse." Tian Yu poured himself a bowl of wine fiercely, "I'm sorry for Xuande Gong, when the Chen family in Xuzhou had already thrown out their own conditions, it was a certain reason that Xuande Gong let the Chen family centrifuge, and finally lost the rich land." ”

Guan Ning looked at Tian Yu, who was a little sad, "It's no wonder you're going to do this." ”

"The imprint of my humble family is too deep, and only when I leave completely, will the family re-examine the changed Xuande Gong." Tian Yu looked a little lonely, "A certain family returned to their hometown, originally planned to take care of their mother and then die alone, Zhongde sent a letter to me to defect to Cao Gong, Zilong also persuaded me to return to Xuande Gong was rejected by me, General Gongsun didn't want to force me, and gave me a vacant position of Dongzhou County Commander to let me recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"Dongzhou County is located in a remote area, and people who are waiting for leisure can't bother me, but the Wuhuan people are not honest, and the Wangmen who don't know what it is also jumped out, wanting to cholera Youzhou step on General Gongsun to vote for Yuan Shao, I wanted to scold him and let out a breath of evil anger in my heart, but the result may be that I haven't scolded people for too long, and there are too many things in my heart, and Wangmen can't stand it and run."

"When General Gongsun was defeated, I was fooled by Xian Yufu on the thief ship, but the guy only knew how to pull people on the boat, and he didn't think about where to go, just Zhongde wrote to me to consider Cao Gong, so I told Xian Yufu to let him go to Cao Gong, I originally planned to return to my hometown to spend my old age, but on the way back to my hometown, I encountered Wuhuan and the Xiongnu joint rebellion, saw the mourning all over the wilderness, saw countless Han people resisting, praying, wailing still did not exchange for even a chance to live."

"At that moment, I was a little angry, the Central Plains was a mess, and it was understandable to attack and kill their opponents one by one for the great cause in their hearts, but none of them looked down at this side of Xinjiang, the people of this side of Xinjiang, the blood of this side of Xinjiang, General Gongsun is gone, he can no longer guard the border of this big man, but Wuhuan is still there, the Huns are still there, and this side of Xinjiang still needs someone to guard after all."

"When everyone in this world looks at the Central Plains, there is always a need for someone to see this thousand-mile frontier and this vast grassland, I asked Cheng Yu, if I choose Cao Gong, can he let me continue to guard this frontier for thousands of miles."

"That was the first time I met Cao Gong, he told me that as long as I wanted to, he would dare to support, he was not afraid of others saying that he relied on the Hanmen, and he was not afraid of the family being dissatisfied with him, he told me that he Cao Mengde was not afraid of anyone, let alone relying on anyone, only others, relying on him."

"That kind of domineering is something I haven't seen in Xuande Gong, I started from scratch in Youzhou, when I had nothing, Cao Gong had nothing to support me, no matter how many people opposed Cao Gong gave me an official position, I also did a good job, whether it was governing a place or guarding the border, I did a good job, no soldiers and no power Cao Gong didn't care, when the military power was in hand, Cao Gong still didn't doubt me, that feeling of trust and peace of mind, although I have followed many people, but that was the first time I felt it."

Cao Zhang felt very proud, as if the domineering side leak in Tian Yu's mouth, the person who used people without suspicion was not his father, but himself, Guan Ning next to him was very dissatisfied, "Tian Guorang is talking about your father, not you, what are you doing there licking your face and grinning?" ”

"A certain family will not lose to its father!" Cao Chang didn't care about Guan Ning's words at all, not because he had a request for Guan Ning, but because he thought so in his heart that he would definitely be better than his father.

"Cao Gong was not afraid of the powerful back then!"

"A certain family is not afraid!"

"You yourself are the highest magnate in this big man." Guan Ning was disdainful.

"That's... A certain is not afraid. ”

"Cao Gong dared to risk the arrow stone in person back then, charged into battle, and Wen Taowu was proficient in everything."

"A certain family also dares to charge into battle, and even my father is very impressed by his martial arts!"

"Then you don't know anything about governing the place or planning on the battlefield, and your head is full of meat." Guan Ning continued to disdain.

Tian Yu looked at the two bickering, shook his head and smiled, "Then Marquis Yan Ling has said so much, do you have any plans?" ”

"What's the plan?" Cao Zhang felt that the matter of Daijun was already almost everything, did he not pay attention to what else he still needed?

Guan Ning looked at him with a sneer, "Your two elder brothers, Cao Pi first has the support of the Central Plains family, and the Chen family has clearly joined his forces, I heard that the Sima family in Hanoi has also made bets recently, and his hands have been extended to the school office, and he also has the right to supervise the place, all the wealthy families in the world yearn for it, you may be able to do it?" ”

"Cao Pi he... He..."Cao Zhang didn't say anything for a long time, no matter how stupid he was in this county, he knew who was the master, dragging himself here was nothing more than to prevent himself from entering Hanzhong, and not giving himself the opportunity to continue to accumulate military exploits.

"If Cao Pi's advantage is too obvious, then let's talk about your second brother Cao Zhi, not to mention his own outstanding talent, there are countless great Confucian scholars to advocate for him, recently even the Yang family in Guanzhong has entered his door, Hongnong Yang family four generations and three dukes, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, although there is no clear statement now, but once Cao Zhi takes the position, these will be his team, it can be said that it is a good potential."

Cao Zhang continued to be silent, charging into battle by himself, no matter how many injuries he suffered, no one was in danger for himself, and Cao Zhi drank a few sips of wine to make two sour poems, and then immediately it would be known to the world, and then everyone praised his talent and fame, saying that it was really fake if they were not jealous.

Guan Ning looked at the silent Cao Zhang, opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have Cao Pi's power?" Ruthless? ”

"Nope."

"Then you and Cao Zhi have unlimited potential, and the article is significant in the world?"

"Akira is a martial artist, not literate."

"Then you might go out of the town and rule the world?"

"My father once said that I am good at the battlefield and not good at governance, if so, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to sit on the side."

"And what do you have?"

Cao Zhang knew that this was an examination school, and if it was done, then he would have an immeasurable future, but he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to open his mouth.

Guan Ning didn't urge, he didn't say anything, he just drank there slowly, Tian Yu didn't bother, and continued to fall into memories, maybe he was recalling the hideous years, maybe he was recalling his youth.

The sun gradually rose, and slowly sank in the west, the drinks in the house had been empty twice, and Tian Yu and Guan Ning were already a little hazy drunk.

Cao Zhang, who was sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, stood up, walked very slowly and steadily, walked in front of Guan Ning, made a big salute, let Tian Yu sit firmly, and asked Guan Ning to put down the wine glass.

"Shoichuke Takefu, except for charging into battle, he can't do anything else." Cao Zhang's beginning did not surprise them, they knew the name of Cao Zhang's bravery, and at the same time knew that there was nothing else except Cao Zhang's bravery.

"I can't understand civil affairs, I can't understand the way of governance, I can't understand the way of criminal law, and I can't understand the means of power scheme." Cao Zhang continued, saying that he seemed to be useless, "Zhang knows that he is not like a powerful prince, but more like a pure military general, and even knows that he should not think about the supreme position. ”

"But what Mr. said about the power of the family, Cao Zhang is not convinced, although my Cao family is also from a family, but this family did not give me much glory, everything in my Cao family now is my father and uncles with their own net worth and life to fight back, we have never thought that we are any superior magnates, my glory is my father they fought with their lives, this privilege I enjoy peace of mind, whether it is a poor family or a wealthy family, I want to leave a strong mark on myself in this world, It's just that the parents of the wealthy family have stayed, and they enjoy enough privileges, but if the children of the poor family succeed, won't they still be another family after a hundred years? ”

Guan Ning looked at the guy in front of him who was talking eloquently, his face was unhappy, sad and indifferent.

"No family is born, all the families in the world today, which one did not start from the people, and which one did not go through countless fights and dangers to save this family business, so the privileges they enjoy now are not a shameful thing, and I am not jealous that they can easily get a lot of things that I can't get with my efforts."

"Zhang is not as domineering as my father, I can't say that I don't need to rely on anyone, and I can't say that only people in the world rely on so-and-so, but Cao Mou, as a child of my Cao family, as the Marquis of Yanling of the Han Dynasty, I Cao Zhang can say a word today, Cao Zhang is not weaker than anyone, and Cao Zhang will not admit defeat like anyone."

"There are some things that you can't just have faith in." Guan Ning didn't say anything sarcastic, but the words he said were extremely cold.

"But Cao Zhang has nothing but faith."

"You admit you have nothing?"

"Yes, Cao Chang has never denied it."

"You don't just have nothing." Guan Ning glanced at Cao Zhang coldly, "Arrogance, great joy, courage and no strategy, impulsiveness, whether as a military general or as a monarch, you are not qualified, you are not a person who should not have problems with them, and you are a non-loser of all the taboos of generals and monarchs." ”

"Yes, I didn't listen to people in Bingzhou, and I almost ruined the big thing that led Zhao Taishou by attacking impulsively, and I almost trapped myself in your arrogance in Youzhou, and because of Lou Ban's bewitchment, I fell into this dilemma, I can't advance or retreat, Cao Zhang admitted."

"Then what kind of face do you have to ask for the support of the cold family, and you have no other choice just because of your cold door?"

"Zhang has never said so, there are so many forces in the world, even if there are still countless carps crossing the river, the way out of the Hanmen has never been only to assist the king." Cao Zhang's impassioned words made Tian Yu raise his head suddenly and look at him in shock.

Cao Zhang didn't find Tian Yu's changes, "The cold door never necessarily needs Cao Zhang, but Zhang needs the support of the cold door, Cao Zhang asked the manager again, begging the cold door to support Cao Zhang, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, even if Cao Zhang is willing to give up his life, he will give the cold door an answer!" ”

"Ren Xia character" Guan Ning snorted, "You are the son of Cao Gong, the king of Wei, as a scoundrel." ”

"Ask the manager to agree, and help Cao Zhang!"

"Hmph." Guan Ning stood up and bypassed Cao Zhang to go out.

"Steward!" Cao Zhang was behind Guan Ning, and he could even be called a pleading, but Guan Ning didn't stop for even a moment, and went straight out of the door, out of the county guard's mansion, until after a while, the next person came to report that Guan Ning had left Dai County, still a single light horse, and he was nowhere to be found.

Tian Yu regained the comfort of the old god and continued to drink, Cao Zhang returned to his seat with a lonely expression, picked up the wine glass and looked at it, put it down again, reached out and picked up a large wine jar, patted the mud seal and began to drink it in a big gulp.

Tian Yu looked at Cao Zhang, who was drinking, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that his son was really hopeless in this world.

"Is Yan Linghou celebrating?"

"Why bother to ridicule Cao, but if you say celebration, it can be counted, after all, Cao Zhang is dead heart this time."

"Where did you see that Tian someone meant that?"

"Isn't it? The manager finally came to Dai County to take the school exam, but he was messed up again and again by Cao Mou, and Cao Zhang failed to seize the last opportunity. ”

"Marquis Yan Ling regretted it?"

"What do you regret, do you want to say something vain and deceitful to the manager? Don't say that the steward won't believe it, even if he can succeed, Cao Zhang won't do that dirty thing, Cao Zhang can't afford to lose that person! ”

"What is the Marquis of Yan Ling doing?" Tian Yu pointed to the half-empty wine jar in Cao Zhang's hand.

"Cao, I'm thirsty!"

"Hahahaha" Tian Yu suddenly laughed heartily, pointing at Cao Zhangxiao's front and leaning back.

"Goo Dong Goo Dong" Cao Zhang stopped caring about him and continued to drink the liquor in his hand.

"Hanzi, don't drink it, you're not ready to accept your power!" Tian Yu looked helpless after laughing.

"What?"

"What are you talking about, the plague here has been controlled, do you still plan to let them stay in Sangqian County for the rest of their lives?"

"That's naturally impossible." Cao Zhang hurriedly shook his head, "What did General Guorang mean just now, those Wuhuan Xianbei coalition forces? ”

"Confused!" Tian Yu hurriedly talked to this son of the world, and he couldn't leave a little room, "Since I am a son of a poor family and a good family!" ”

"But the steward has..."

"Which told you that your steward rejected you?"

"Didn't the steward leave angrily just now?"

"The apprentices who people worked so hard to teach were directly packed and taken away by you, and you replaced them, aren't you angry?"

"When.." Cao Zhang was a little dizzy, he felt happy, but he was really confused.

"Which guy is drinking and scolding your mother every day with a group of bandits and bandits for you?" Tian Yu ordered Cao Zhang again.

"It's Brother Wang Zhuang.." Cao Zhang finally understood a little, "Is the general Guorang saying that Hanmen has agreed to help Cao?" ”

"Otherwise? What do you think is the reason why a chief scoop of Youzhou, who has been out of office for a long time, has killed him back and regained power? ”

"It turns out that the manager is here to drink and scold Cao, let's say it earlier, Cao Zhang is thick-skinned, and it's okay to scold for as long as you want."

"Guan Ning didn't come here just to scold you."

"Uh, anything else?"

"Hetian is reminiscing." Tian Yu smiled very happily.
