Chapter 366: Chen Gongtai
Seeing Zhang Tingcha in the distance, he fell on his heel at this time,
Mrs. Ding covered her mouth and laughed softly,
"That kid from the Yang family is quite clever."
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth,
"Yang Biao, an old man who doesn't know what affairs are, has a slippery head."
After laughing, Ding Furao's face was a little solemn,
Hesitantly, he said:
"Master, that Zhang Ting is Zhang Jian's grandson after all, and now he is in the position of a guard captain, and he is also very close to Zhang Jian after this period of time, ...... you do today."
Although the words that follow have no exit,
But the concern is obvious.
A gorgeous face that leaves no traces of time,
Hung with a deep sorrow.
Cao Cao looked at his beloved wife, who was as tall as himself,
Smile confidently and say:
"Hahaha, it's just a bunch of ugly people who jump off the beam, and they can't do anything big."
Sensing the disdain in Cao Cao's words,
Mrs. Ding also wanted to open her mouth to remind,
Miaomu turned to look at the side face of the head husband,
Suddenly closed his mouth,
She was a very intelligent woman,
Know when to speak,
When is it time to shut up.
It is taboo for women to interfere in politics,
She was born in a wealthy family,
Naturally, he is very aware of this,
Fang Cai's worry is her duty as a wife,
But if there are more,
That's trespassing,
Naturally, she wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing.
Moreover, she is also very aware of Cao Cao's character,
Since he is,
There must have been a complete plan in mind,
What's more, nowadays,
Although there is no drama talent around him,
But there is more upright and resourceful Cheng Zhongde,
Don't want Xun Wenruo, who has the talent of Wang Zuo,
The rising star also has Zhongda of the Sima family,
And it seems that another great talent has recently been received.
"Madam, you see the scenery over there is good, let's go over and have a look."
Cao Cao saw a boulder stretching out into the lake not far away,
Walking towards that side,
From time to time, I have an anecdote with Mrs. Ding,
The two of them have a laugh,
Enjoy a rare time for two,
The guards had already emptied the path,
Leave all the time to these two people who have stolen half a day of leisure.
“…… Giggles, is this true? ”
Mrs. Ding laughed and trembled,
Gently rub the corners of your eyes with both hands,
I'm afraid of laughing crow's feet.
Cao Cao pretended to be slightly angry and said:
"That husband will still deceive you and ......"
"Lord!"
Cao Cao turned his head in displeasure,
Looking at his subordinates who dared to disturb him,
The guard immediately looked righteous and said:
"Lord, Prince An Min asks to see you!"
Cao Anmin, a nephew whom Cao Cao loved very much,
For the clansmen, Cao Cao is famous for protecting his shortcomings and sparing no effort to cultivate,
This Cao Anmin is a very good one in the family,
is also Cao Cao's most valued nephew,
has always made him regarded as the inheritance of Rao's eldest son Cao Ang,
This son has always been very discerning,
Never bother him at this moment for no reason,
Could it be that something went wrong on one side,
But lately it's been peaceful everywhere,
The various places under his rule have also been on the right track,
He only took time to accompany his wife.
Between the thoughts and thoughts,
Gather the anger in your heart,
waved his hand and motioned for the guards to bring Cao Anmin over,
Cao Cao's fleeting displeasure,
The guards can see it clearly,
hurriedly ran and retreated.
If it weren't for the different look on Cao Anmin's face,
I feel that something very serious is happening,
He won't be bored with himself,
Come and bother at this time.
The guard hurriedly walked back with a young general,
The young general's face was pale,
There are some stumbles between walks,
Seeing Cao Cao's brows,
An ominous blessing rose in his heart
After Cao Anmin met Cao Cao,
Rolling tears,
Immediately it rolled down from his eyes like a burst of embankment,
Still a few steps away,
And he fell on his knees on the grass,
Crying silently, he cried out:
"Uncle, uncle, grandfather, grandfather died on the way to Xudu......"
"What!"
Cao Cao was shocked,
Walked quickly to Cao Anmin,
grabbed his nephew,
asked in a stern voice:
"An Min, if you dare to talk nonsense......"
Cao Anmin fell to his knees instantly,
Choked up with tears:
"Uncle, how dare my nephew talk nonsense about this, grandfather and my father ......"
Cao Anmin's words are not finished,
was interrupted by Cao Cao's wave of sleeves,
Pick up Cao Anmin,
Running fast and snatching the guard's horses,
The two of them hurried away across their horses,
"Go home!"
The rest did not dare to stay,
Mrs. Ding ran and boarded the carriage,
galloped all the way to Xu County.
Back in Sikong Fuzhong,
There was already a man sitting in the study,
The face is square and heroic,
Dressed in a blue scribe's robe,
Sitting upright, graceful,
It's just that heavy expression on his face,
But that calm posture was completely destroyed.
I heard a noise at the door,
Hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand,
hurriedly got up and greeted him,
He saluted Cao Cao, who was also in a hurry.
Cao Cao hasn't sat down yet,
He waved his hand at the green-shirted scribe and said:
"Desk, sit! Anmin, report the details quickly! ”
At this moment, Cao Anmin has regained his calm,
But his eyes were still red,
"Poof" fell to the ground with a bang,
Some choked up:
"Uncle, nephew just received the tip, grandfather set off from Xuzhou to Xu County half a decade ago, and my father accompanied the school Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent his commander Zhang Min to lead two hundred cavalry escorts. Who knew that Zhang Minren saw his grandfather carrying 200 carts of goods and goods. Five days ago, the convoy traveled between Hua County and Fei County in Taishan County, Zhang Min actually teamed up with the 200 cavalrymen, not only killed his grandfather and father, but also the accompanying family members and servants were not spared, and the thieves fled to Huainan after robbing the property! ”
"Smack!"
Cao Cao angrily smashed the precious mutton fat jade paperweight to pieces,
"Bold thief!"
Take a deep breath,
barely calmed down his anger,
Cao Cao sat down,
He asked again:
"Where are those thieves now?"
"I don't know where I am, although I fled to Huainan before, but after Xuzhou Tao Qian learned the news, he sent troops to pursue them everywhere, but he couldn't track their traces, and there was no trace of this gang of thieves in Huainan!"
Cao Anmin hurriedly replied,
As soon as the words fell, he took a breath and then spoke:
"Uncle, nephew pleaded with a thousand men and horses to go after the thief, and the nephew swore to avenge the murder of his father!"
Cao Cao didn't open his mouth at the moment,
Instead, he closed his eyes,
Immediately there was silence in the house,
No one dared to disturb Cao Cao's thoughts at this moment.
Just then, another man hurried in,
But it's Sima Yi,
He is now engaged in the position of Sikong Fu Peng,
is out on other business,
When they heard the emergency call, they rushed over immediately.
Respectfully saluted Cao Cao,
Only then did I hurriedly look at the situation in the house,
Cao Cao was still meditating with his eyes closed,
Cao Anmin fell to his knees,
is crying silently,
The green-shirted scribe frowned,
Nodding to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi walked lightly to the green-shirted scribe,
"Mr. Gongtai, what's wrong?"
Before he sat down,
Sima Yi had already asked the green-shirted scribe with his ear.
The name of this green-shirted scribe is Chen Gong, the word Gongtai,
A native of Dongwuyang, Donggun.
Upright and resourceful,
When I was young, I made friends with well-known people at home,
After Cao Cao issued a recruitment order,
came to serve, and gained Cao Cao's trust,
Although there is no official position now,
But it's only a matter of time before you're in a key position.
Become a hot celebrity in Sikong Mansion,
Even if it is an important minister in the court,
There are also many people who have made a special trip to visit this person,
The intention can be before it comes out,
Settle a piece of incense.
Chen Gong explained the situation to Sima Yi with his ears,
The latter's face immediately changed drastically.
"Anmin, you should step back first."
After Cao Cao opened his eyes,
said indifferently,
The tone was calm as if nothing had happened,
Only the killing machine in the eyes flashed by.
Cao Anmin was stunned when he heard this,
But he obediently got up and walked out.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong on the side and asked:
"Gongtai, in your opinion, is this matter true?"
"For the lord, it doesn't matter if it's true or not."
The two of them with a sharp question and answer,
But the three people present all knew that
The truth of Cao Cao's inquiry,
It's not the death of Cao Song and Cao De,
It's the truth or falsehood of Zhang Min's motive for killing Cao Song,
If it is true, then the culprits are Zhang Min and others.
But if that motive isn't there,
Then there is a lot to be considered about this problem.
As for the whereabouts of Zhang Min and others later,
Cao Cao didn't care at all,
Even if it's not a pawn,
It's just a school of miscellaneous fish.
The revenge of killing the father is not shared,
But for a hero like Cao Cao,
This can also be put to good use.
Cao Cao has coveted Xuzhou for a long time,
It's just that I've been suffering from no suitable excuse,
That Xuzhou Mu Taoqian,
When you get older, you are not as upright as when you were young,
learned to compromise,
Knowing that Cao Cao had bad intentions for him,
But on the surface, there is a twist to welcome,
In fact, he is firmly loyal to the Han family,
It's not easy for Cao Cao to start.
Chen Gong's answer was to tell Cao Cao,
Regardless of whether this matter is Zhang Min's real intention to see money,
Or maybe there is something else hidden,
It's a great opportunity and an excuse for them.
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this,
In an instant, I also understood what Chen Gong meant,
The brow is tightly locked,
He said in a deep voice:
"But if you kill my father, this matter will definitely come to light."
Although he is a hero,
But Cao Cao is also a person after all,
The seven emotions and six desires are sound,
Although Cao Cao is not the most filial person,
But it's not the kind of person who doesn't miss family affection at all.
Chen Gong slowly opened his mouth and analyzed:
"Tao Qian is afraid that the lord will have the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, although this person is now old, but he will not be stupid enough to do such a thing, and Zhang Min is also an old man in Xuzhou, Tao Qian will not know people to the point of not knowing people, and choose a greedy man to serve as an escort. Therefore, it is concluded that Zhang Min must have been bought. ”
Chen Gong twisted the long beard under his chin,
The brow is always locked,
After bowing his head and thinking for a long time,
Then he spoke:
"Now Tao Qian is old, his two sons are unbearable, Xuzhou has long been fluctuating, some people want to fish in troubled waters, although there are Chen Qi and his son as the Dinghai Shen Needle to stabilize the situation, but it is also difficult to put an end to the undercurrent surge below. If you want to find out who is behind this, you only need to look at who has the greatest benefit to do so. ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this,
He thinks the same way,
"Yuan Shao of Hebei, Lu Bu of Bingzhou, Yuan Shu of Runan, and even Sun Jian of Wu County are very likely to ......"
Suddenly shook his head,
Cao Cao himself interrupted and said:
"Lu Bu categorically will not do benevolent things, and there is no substantial benefit to him."
Chen Gong continued to analyze Cao Cao's words:
"Your lord is right. Hebei Yuan Shao suffered a new defeat, he needs time to stabilize the situation, there is our army on the side of the couch that has been waiting for the future, Yuan Shao will definitely not be at ease, provoke our army to attack Xuzhou Taoqian, so that our army has no time to look north, and it is the most optimistic thing for him to come. But ......"
Gently twist the long hair under the chin,
Chen Gong smiled and said:
"However, although Yuan Shao is resourceful and indecisive, his subordinates are like a rain of advisers, and there are many wise and profound people, and they will definitely not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shao carry out short-sighted plans."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously:
"What do you mean by the public station?"
"Now our Yanzhou is strong and Xuzhou is weak, this strength comparison is obvious, if our army attacks Xuzhou on a large scale, it will not take three months to capture Xuzhou, even if it is a conservative estimate, it will not be more than half a year. As for Yuan Shaolai, the time of half a year is a little insufficient, and the implementation of this plan will not achieve their expected results, and this point will certainly be clear to the likes of Feng Ji, Judge and Match, and Xu Yu, and once the matter is revealed, the relationship with our army will certainly plummet, and based on these reasons, they will not contribute to the occurrence of such things that harm others and themselves. ”
Cao Cao nodded,
In fact, these of Chen Gongsuo,
He had already thought of it,
The reason why I pretend not to know is to confirm whether there is any omission in my thoughts.
In addition, it also has the meaning of examining the school Chen Palace,
This is one of the powerful techniques of being a superior.
Chen Gong twisted his long hair and continued to speak:
"As for Yuan Shu of Runan in the south, and Sun Jian of Wu County, although they are suspicious, they don't think they will do it."
This time, without waiting for Cao Cao to ask,
Chen Gong replied to himself:
"If Yuan Shu or Sun Jian made a move, the reason was just to drag the lord in Yanzhou and not be able to go south. But in terms of Yuan Highway, who usurped the emperor, his personality was arrogant and arrogant, and he disdained to make this move, and this person is now the emperor, and he needs a big victory to strengthen his prestige, and our army is undoubtedly their best stepping stone, Yuan Shu relied on the Yuan family's century-old operation in Runan, and the prosperity of soldiers and horses even surpassed Lu Bu, and he wished that our army would go south alone. Sun Jian of Wu County is now busy swallowing Yangzhou, and there is still a dangerous river with my Yanzhou, so there is no need to worry about our army's southward movement. ”
Cao Cao habitually touched his upper lip and beard,
Chen Gong's analysis can be very comprehensive,
Cao Cao very much agreed,
But this makes this matter even more confusing.
Asked softly:
"If it's not these people, who could it be?"
Chen Gong tapped his fingers on the teacup and said:
"The lord should have forgotten someone."
