Zhang Ning put down the file in his hand, and gently rubbed his temples with his plain hands, since Jia Xu's assassination, Zhang Ning took over the intelligence work, and with the increasing strength of the state, the complexity of the intelligence work has also increased geometrically.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the dark group has cultivated a group of intelligence officers, and at the same time, Guo Jia and others are on the side to assist, so this intelligence work can also be handled.

Zhang Ningxiu frowned slightly, looking out the window, at this time the ice and snow melted, and it was about to enter spring, and there were faint signs of recovery between heaven and earth, but the husband Lu Bu didn't know when he would be able to turn around.

"Knock knock." Three crisp knocks suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting Zhang Ning's train of thought.

"What?" Zhang Ning asked.

"Miss, Lou Wu asks to see you." The voice of the shadow son came from outside, and only the people in the dark group called Zhang Ning Miss in the whole state, and the rest of the people called her the second lady. No one has made any comments on this.

"Lou Wu? What's the matter with him? Zhang Ning frowned and whispered to himself.

Since the last time we met when we rescued Diao Chan, Lou Wu followed him to Bingzhou, and since coming here, he has been living in seclusion, and even the old friends of the Yellow Turban have not interacted much, Jia Xu was originally quite wary of him, but later saw that this person has been so cautious, and slowly let down his guard and accepted this outsider.

The people who could talk to him before were some of the soldiers in the Wolf Warrior Special Forces, and the content of each of their conversations was reported to Jia Xu as soon as possible, and there was no problem.

In addition, he has more dealings with Ding Yao, and it seems that he has a good impression of Ding Yao, but Ding Yao, a girl, is devoted to Lu Bu, and she has suddenly changed her temper recently, and she follows Zhang Da every day and doesn't know what she is tinkering with. Therefore, Lou Wu regained his withdrawn appearance, and only when he got together with those old friends of the yellow turbans did he have a little human touch.

However, it seems that after Zhang Yan joined in, Lou Wu gradually became a little active, first with Zhang Yan closely, and then actively engaged in the resettlement of the displaced people, and had a good reputation among those Yellow Turban refugees.

However, from these things alone, there is nothing abnormal, after all, Lou Wu and Zhang Yan knew each other long before Zhang Jiao's incident, and the relationship is very good, and those homeless people are the people who follow the Yellow Turban, and it is normal for Lou Wu from the Yellow Turban to be interested in them.

Zhang Ning also checked the file left by Jia Xu before and learned that Jia Xu had been investigating Lou Wu, but from all aspects, Lou Wu did not have any problems, although Zhang Ning himself was not very close to Lou Wu, but he still trusted him very much, so the file left by Jia Xu was thrown aside by her after reading it.

"Ask him to wait in the drawing-room, and I'll go over here." Zhang Ning said.

"Yes, miss."

"Sima Zhongda, hahaha, I didn't expect you and I to meet under the Cao Gong account." A young scribe gently stroked the three long strands of hair under his chin with his right hand, evidently cherishing it. This person's name is Chen Qun, and he was born in the "Yingchuan Chen Clan" from the late Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties.

His grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen are all famous in the world. Chen Ji and Chen Chen are both known as virtuous, brothers are filial, and the boudoir is peaceful. and his father Chen Yu and younger brother Chen Chen were called "Three Gentlemen" at that time.

When Chen Qunshang was a child, his grandfather Chen Yu often thought that this son was strange and said to the elders of the township sect: "This child will definitely prosper my sect." "Lu Guo Kong Rong has always been talented and arrogant, his age is about Chen Ji, Chen Qun between the two fathers and sons, so first with Chen Ji as friends, and then with Chen Qun, so he is famous.

When Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, Chen Ji's father and son went to serve, which made Cao Cao overjoyed.

He and Sima Yi met when they were young, and the two had the experience of studying together, so the relationship was very close.

Sima Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Brother Changwen, I haven't seen you for many years, and my brother's demeanor is better than in the past." ”

"Hahaha, Zhongda is still so good at talking." Chen Qun stretched out his hand to help Sima Yi, and the two of them turned around and entered the mansion.

After entering the mansion, I saw a scribe sitting upright in the mansion, Sima Yi first came here, and he didn't know many people, so he didn't know the identity of this person. Looking at it, I saw that this person seemed to be similar in age to Chen Qun, with a handsome appearance, a pair of Danfeng eyes and an extraordinary bearing, but his face was pale and seemed to be riddled with serious illness.

Chen Qun hurriedly opened his mouth and introduced: "Zhongda, you came just in time, I came to introduce you, this is Mr. Zhongxi, the military division under the command of the lord, who is a fellow villager from Yingchuan County." Mr. Zhicai has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and he is deeply respected by the lord. Zhicai, this is Hanoi Sima Yi, the second son of Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, who is smart and changeable, and came at the request of the lord to seek merit, and I am an old acquaintance with him. In the future, we will all be subordinates of the lord, and we should be more close. ”

After listening to Chen Qun's introduction, Sima Yi knew that the person in front of him was Cao Cao's most important subordinate drama Zhicai, and couldn't help but take a look at it.

Therefore, Sima Yi took the lead in saluting and said: "In Xia Sima Yi Zhongda, I have seen the military priest sacrificial wine. ”

Xi Zhicai only came back from Qingzhou's military affairs, and he had never seen Sima Yi before, so now he also looked at this young man carefully, and after reading it, he nodded secretly and said, "Little brother is really a talent." What Brother Fang Cai Changwen said is extremely true, you and I both work for the Lord, and we will come from being close to the Lord. ”

After some greetings, Xi Zhicai suddenly said inadvertently: "Now the lord has decided to settle in Qingyan Erzhou, and all industries are waiting to be prospered. Just now, Brother Changwen and I are discussing this matter, dare to ask Brother Zhongda what advice does he have? ”

Sima Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I don't dare to give advice, but the younger brother had thought about this matter before he came, and he asked the two brothers to correct him if he was a little clumsy." ”

Sima Yi is also a clever and exquisite person, although Xi Zhicai only politely called him a brother, but he beat the snake and kindly placed Xi Zhicai in the same intimate position as Chen Qun, but at the same time he showed no trace of utilitarianism, so that Chen Qun and Xi Zhicai looked up at this young man again.

Sima Yi saw that the two of them were paying attention to themselves, and they no longer sold Guan Zi at the moment, and slowly paced: "First, the lord has recently received more than 300,000 troops, although his strength has risen sharply, but the yellow turban has been uneven, and now it is about to be in chaos, if you count on these soldiers, our army will be in danger." Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to prepare the soldiers and horses, remove their clutter and retain their essence, 300,000 horses can retain at least 150,000 elite soldiers for the lord, plus the original men and horses of the lord, then our army has more than 200,000 troops, which is enough to dominate. ”

There is nothing surprising about what Sima Yi said, and this is exactly what Cao Cao is doing now, so there is nothing surprising about Sima Yi bringing it up.

Sima Yi continued: "Second, the lord takes in the millions of people who are left in the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, can resettle and reclaim farmland, select their young and strong and eliminated inferior soldiers to form a township brave, and Chen Yu is at the junction with Yuzhou and Jizhou to carry out tuntian, which can not only solve the pressure of our army's grain and grass, but also resist the invasion of Eryuan's soldiers and horses, so that they dare not act rashly." ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai frowned, just now he and Chen Qun were discussing the matter of Tuntian, Cao Cao used troops for many years, and now although his power has risen sharply, but it has also increased the pressure on the treasury, the method of Tuntian is suitable for use at this time, and Sima Yi proposed to station Tuntian Township Yong at the junction with Yuzhou and Jizhou, which is a second move.

"Third, Xuzhou Tao Qian was brave when he was young, but at this time he was old and did not have the heart of forging ahead in the past.

"Fourth, the Qing and Yan are initially decided, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, and at this time, there should be strong people who are rigid and soft and enforce the law to quell the chaos. Brother Changwen refines the law and should be in charge. In addition, if you wish to raise one person, you can help Brother Changwen. ”

Cao Cao has long had the intention to rectify the rule of officials, although Qing and Yan Erzhou suffered the most violent Yellow Turban Rebellion, resulting in no more than other states and counties, but there are still many scholars here, and with the issuance of Cao Cao's order to seek talent, many scholars came to take refuge, and even with the migration of many scholars, as well as the newly refuted Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Taishan Zangba, etc., can be described as intricate, if it cannot be placed properly, it will become a big disaster in the future, so Cao Cao will reuse Chen Qun, but at this time, because he has just entered the Qing, Yan, etc., Chen Qun only knew that Cao Cao was going to make such an arrangement, but Sima Yi was able to think of this and let the two of them take a look.

Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun glanced at each other, and Xi Zhicai took the lead in speaking: "Who are you willing to recommend?" ”

It stands to reason that Sima Yi was new to the city and was not qualified to be recommended, but Cao Cao was a person who was eager to seek talent, so under his rule, as long as he was a talented person, he could get the corresponding position, and he could even recommend himself.

Sima Yi paused and said: "A native of Shanyang Changyi, full of favored characters Boning, upright and upright. At the age of eighteen, he served as the superintendent of the county. At that time, Li Shuo and others in the county supported the army and harmed the people. Taishou sent Man Zhong to picket, and after Li Shuo and others interrogated, they came to confess their guilt and said that they did not dare to do evil again. Later, Man Pet tried to serve as the commander of Gaoping County. Zhang Bao, the county governor of the post, embezzled and took bribes, interfered with the government, and sent people to arrest and interrogate him, Zhang Bao was tortured and died, so he abandoned the official and returned. This person is upright, if the lord is willing to use this person, then the rule of the officials is just around the corner. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and wrote down the name Manzhong.

"Fifth, welcome the Son of Heaven!" Sima Yi spoke again and said a word.

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he stood up, and Chen Qun was also shocked. saw Sima Yi's expression indifferent, as if he just said a very ordinary word.
