In the past two days, Lao Cao was very happy.

In this era, having more children is always a happy thing.

Although Huan Ji, well, from now on, she will be changed to Mrs. Huan, and her background is not good, but as long as Cao Cao is happy, it will be fine.

"I don't know the lord's Lin'er, has the nickname been decided?" Xi Zhicai stuffed the empty wine gourd into his sleeve, and talked to Xun with a match.

"It's set...... I said, can you not do this? Xun frowned and looked at Xi Zhicai's actions, and said in a low voice, "Last time, the lord asked, when are you ready to return to your original identity...... Besides, isn't that even more remarkable? ”

"At least not now......" Xi Zhicai, that is, Guo Jia stretched out his hand to pull the hair that hung down in front of his eyes to the back, and said with a smile, "On the contrary, their attention will be focused on how many gourds of wine I stole from me...... and not my physiognomy ......"

Xun shook his head, Guo Jia always had some crooked reasoning, but it seemed right to think about it.

Cao Cao has a new son, and people from surrounding counties and places will naturally come to congratulate him, and a large banquet is naturally indispensable, and Cao Cao's subordinates, including Xun Guojia and others, must naturally attend.

Guo Jia walked out and said, "Haven't you said what nickname the lord has called?" ”

Xun paused and said, "The nickname is ...... Cangshu ......"

"Cangshu?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps stopped.

Xun smiled a little wryly and nodded.

"Puyang ......" Guo Jia looked up at the sky and muttered, "Emperor Qiu...... Cangshu ...... ......" (note to this chapter)

The two of them stood outside the hall, looking at the clouds in the sky, and were silent for a while.

"Do you know why?" Guo Jia turned his head to look at Xun and said, "You must know!" ”

Xun lowered his eyes and said half-loudly: "Heluo...... Wen Hou rebelled, trapped the palace, and arrested Fu Shi and imprisoned him......"

"Huh?!" Guo Jia's eyes widened and said tentatively, "This ...... Did you do it? ”

Xun shook his head.

Guo Jia looked at Xun's expression, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "Then, the Eight Achievements are the hands and feet of the Yang family...... Well, no, since it wasn't you who did it, how would you know about it......"

Xun lowered his voice and said, "...... That night, the sun was in turmoil...... Fu Gong's son and Zhonglang general Dong, fled out of the city at night and found the lord's ......"

"Why don't I know about this......" Guo Jia said suspiciously, and then suddenly, "No wonder I haven't seen Miaocai in the past few days......"

………………………………

In the past two days, Lao Liu was very unhappy.

Especially in the past few days, the letters sent from Yuan Shu have made Liu Bei's mood fall to the freezing point.

In the letter, Yuan Shu expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Bei's unauthorized tribute to the imperial court, and as if calling a dog, he arrogantly ordered Liu Bei to immediately raise troops and attack Cao Cao in Yanzhou, otherwise he would bear the consequences, of course, Yuan Shu did not write so straightforwardly, but the threat in the letter was full of pen and ink.

Liu Bei immediately convened his subordinates to discuss whether to send troops to Yanzhou.

"What is the situation with the relief of displaced people? So far, can anyone freeze to death and starve to death? How about spring ploughing? Although Liu Bei was inevitably a little flustered in his heart, he still had to be stable on the surface.

Some time ago, Xuzhou was unstable, and the originally rich Xuzhou was also embarrassed. Cao Cao's massacre of the city led to the creation of a large number of displaced people, and if these displaced people are not properly resettled, they will evolve into even worse consequences, and it may not be possible to say what more Xuzhou yellow turbans will be.

"Enlighten the envoys, all the prefectures have opened warehouses to release grain, and make every effort to help the displaced people...... "It is now spring ploughing, and all localities have mobilized displaced people to fill labor, dig ditches, and penetrate the river, which can also increase the autumn endowment ......"

Chen Deng nodded with a smile and didn't say a word. Are there any homeless people who have frozen to death and starved to death, such a stupid question, do you still need to ask and answer? So Lu Zhu also avoided answering.

Liu Bei exhaled a long breath and said, "That's very good! The people of Xuzhou are not at peace, how can they be relieved? I hope you will work together to tide over the difficulties......"

Chen Deng smiled at the gaze cast by Elk Zhu, and then followed everyone to bow their hands and said in unison: "Make Jun Rende!" ”

According to common sense, since they are refugees from the surrounding counties where Cao Cao slaughtered the city, can't they be repatriated, clean up the ruins, and rebuild after the disaster......

But the problem is far from that simple, population is also a resource, even in later generations, there are still a large number of people engaged in human trafficking, let alone in the Han Dynasty. The Han law directly stipulates that all homeless people can be directly arrested and used as slaves, such a profitable thing, how could the big scholars in Xuzhou miss this feast in vain?

Liu Bei hoped to be able to resettle the displaced people, and then the people under his hands were indeed resettled, but as for how to resettle and how to divide it, Liu Bei did not know.

Liu Bei listened to Lu Zhu's report, and suddenly remembered a thing, so he asked: "Digging a canal costs a lot, although the people's servants can be replaced by displaced people, but how to deal with the consumption of money and grain?" What is the meaning of the villagers everywhere? ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly and said: "The village elders from all over the country are willing to support the ...... of the monarch and benevolence."

Liu Bei said "oh" and nodded. This time he was in charge of Xuzhou, in fact, it was the first time that Liu Bei was in charge of such a large piece of territory. In the past, in Gaotang, in the plains, although he also mastered the local power, but after all, it was much smaller than Xuzhou Mu, even in the plains, Liu Bei really wanted to walk around the fields, but it was just a matter of running horses for a few days or ten days, and the problem was not big, but now, even if he had the heart to go around, he didn't have this time.

After running a lap, who will handle the government affairs sent from all over the country?

If Lu Zhu wants to follow, then hand it over to the second brother?

Or the third brother?

No kidding.

Although the second and third brothers have worked hard to learn and understand over the years, they are still relatively biased towards the military rather than civil affairs, so what about the few strategists here?

Jian Yong, if it's general government affairs, it's okay, but Jian Yong mainly loves to talk too much, so he can't talk in the government affairs hall all day long, and nothing is handled......

Sun Qian, who had just been recruited, was not very familiar with it, and he would not immediately entrust him with the important things.

Chen Deng, maybe? But Liu Bei is not quite sure about Chen Deng in his heart, well, what is Chen Deng's family thinking......

Chen Deng saw Liu Bei's gaze, smiled, and said softly and slowly: "Since the envoy arrived in Xuzhou, he has appeased the locality, governed the thin endowment, and the villagers everywhere have called the envoy benevo......lent and virtuous."

Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, because he was thinking that if he really wanted to send troops to Yanzhou, most of the cangyu was empty because the two years of war had been empty, so he could only apportionment or increase taxes, but he was blocked back by Chen Deng.

"This ......" Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and finally said clearly, "General Hou is coming...... If you want to cooperate and attack Yanzhou...... I wonder what you think? "It's said that it's a collaboration, it's just that Liu Bei smeared powder on his face, of course, everyone present didn't understand it if they didn't understand, and those who understood pretended to be confused.

"Good! Hit Yanzhou! Zhang Fei almost jumped up with a snort, and muttered with flying eyebrows, "I have seen that eunuch unpleasant a long time ago!" Hit Yanzhou! ”

"Ahem......" Guan Yu calmed his face and slashed Zhang Fei back to his seat with his eye knife.

"Send troops to Yanzhou?"

"General Hou?"

There was chaos in the lobby for a while.

"It is the current priority to make the king and the people spring ploughing...... Now that the warehouse is empty, the financial endowment is meager, and the matter of sending troops to Yanzhou is ...... You might as well discuss ......" Chen Deng stroked his long beard and said word by word.

When Lu Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "The general's intention is ......"

Before Lu Zhu's words could be finished, Chen Deng interrupted unceremoniously and said, "If the envoy is not a subordinate of the Hou General, how can he listen to the Hou General's arrangements for everything?" Zizhong must not put the cart before the horse! ”

"......" Lu Zhu was suddenly choked and speechless.

Liu Bei coughed, then his face turned straight, and he said with a little sadness: "In the past, Cao thieves invaded the realm and slaughtered the people, the heavens and the earth were saddened, and the rivers changed color...... However, due to the Tao envoy's rebellion, coupled with the locust plague, the displaced people were like a tide, and the policy of sending troops was forced to be cancelled...... Now that the civil strife in Yanzhou has been decided, if you don't take the opportunity, wouldn't it be a loss? After that, the general raised troops to fight against the rebellion, but Yuan Long said that it was not appropriate to send troops? Why? Cao thief goes against the sky, if this kind of rebellion is not removed, is it worthy of the people of the world? ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and in the face of Liu Bei's questioning, he did not panic, and said: "The momentum of Yanzhou is as the envoy said...... However, the general trend of the world makes you have to think twice......"

"The general trend of the world?" Liu Bei couldn't help but straighten his waist, revealing a hint of concern.

"Now that Gongsun has been defeated, and Qingzhou Tian Thorn Shi is powerless to return to the sky, Youzhou in northern Hebei will not be ......determined in a few days," Chen Deng said slowly, with a sense of calmness and a faint sense of superiority, "At this time, the general wants to destroy Yanzhou, which has a deep meaning...... I believe that you will understand...... Dare to ask the envoy, if the general raises troops to the south at that time...... How will the envoy deal with himself? ”

"This ......" Liu Bei was stunned.

Liu Bei had been thinking about whether to listen to Yuan Shu, if he fought Yanzhou, how to fight, how to deploy troops, what Cao Cao would do, and where he would fight; If you don't listen to Yuan Shu, will Yuan Shu immediately turn his face, drop his troops and clean him up first, whether he can resist Yuan Shu's troops, etc., but now when he heard Chen Deng's words, he suddenly woke up to not only Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao, who was standing behind Cao Cao......

If the general is reliable, and the joint forces clean up Cao Cao's dwarf, Liu Bei still feels a little sure, but it is only a few points, after all, Cao Cao's subordinates are not good at stubble, and they chased Yuan Shu to flee in a hurry before......

And now with the addition of Yuan Shao, this has reduced the success rate at one time. Although Yuan Shao must be busy dealing with Gongsun Chan now, the question is that he can be sure that Yuan Shao will not send a partial army or something south?

What to do?

Liu Bei said he was very embarrassed.

……………………………………

Although Puyang experienced the Cao Lu War, the population base did not shrink much, so the recovery was not bad, plus as the place where Cao Cao originally started, most of the Cao Xiahou family was also concentrated here, and naturally became Cao Cao's current political center.

Cao Cao was overjoyed to have a son, a large feast, everyone celebrated, and he was beaming, but God didn't seem to want anyone to be happy all the time, or for a long time, just when Cao Cao was teasing his own child, a letter from Yuan Shao was delivered to Puyang and handed over to Cao Cao......

Just like what Chen Deng considered, Yuan Shu wanted to poke Yuan Shao's big back ditch at this moment, as two brothers who came out of the door, Yuan Shao also wanted to poke Yuan Shu's fat back.

Yuan Shao's letter was very long, first expressing his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's unauthorized handling of Zhang Miao, and seriously criticizing it for a while, and then saying that he was looking at the friendship of the past, considering Cao Cao's actual situation, and also gave a certain understanding, and mentioned that the current situation in Jizhou is very good, and Gongsun Zhan's demise is just around the corner......

Although it has been said a lot, it is actually a meaning, let Cao Cao attack Yuzhou.

"What do you two think about this?" Speaking of which, Cao Cao is more experienced than Liu Bei in the area of politics, and he only secretly called Xun and Xi Zhicai, that is, Guo Jia, to discuss in the side hall, and did not convene everyone to discuss it with great fanfare.

Although it is said that the flame is high when everyone gathers firewood, the problem is that not all of them may be firewood, and they may also be bombs. Therefore, it is far more efficient to study on a small scale first, come up with a more feasible plan, and then lay it out, rather than large-scale discussion and deliberation.

"Don't attack Yuzhou...... Guo Jia said unceremoniously and directly, "Wen Ruofang recruits Yingchuan talents one after another, and the lord turns his head to attack Yuzhou, isn't it ......"

During this period of time, because Cao Cao expelled Lu Bu and arrested Zhang Miao, basically speaking, even if it was a good thing in Yanzhou, Cao Cao, who owned part of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, was naturally more attractive than before, so Xun recruited these people from Yingchuan to have some confidence.

But just like Guo Jia said, he just said that he wanted to recruit, and he would turn around and attack Yuzhou, not to mention whether he could fight it, but such an act would definitely be disgusted by the people of Yuzhou.

Who likes to fight in front of their own doorstep? Who likes to ruin the lord of their own property?

Xun said slowly: "...... However, the general's order must not be disobeyed...... When Yanzhou rebelled, if there was no help from the general......"

Xun didn't finish speaking, but everyone can understand the meaning, it can be said that now Cao Cao has taken Zhang Miao, not many people jump up to oppose it, in fact, it is also relying on the remnants of the group of soldiers supported by Yuan Shao, many people who don't know think that Yuan Shao is dissatisfied with Zhang Miao, and borrows Cao Cao's hand, if these people who have not yet fully returned to their hearts know that Yuan Shao is actually dissatisfied with Cao Cao, maybe there will be a second Zhang Miao and a second Lu Bu immediately.

Cao Cao didn't want to fight, because Yanzhou didn't have much reserves at this time, and he had just sent Xiahou Yuan out two days ago to see if he could fish in troubled waters......

"Lord, now you might as well raise troops to the south and secretly march to Heluo to save the Son of Heaven!" Xun said in a deep voice, "In Luoyang City, there is a great chaos, everyone has their own thoughts, the military will inevitably be unstable, and Wen Hou will lose his loyalty, and it is the opportunity to rebel!" If you can welcome the Son of Heaven, the general will have nothing to say! ”

Guo Jia glanced at Xun and seemed to have found something, but he didn't say anything.

"Greeting the Son of Heaven?" Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Guo Jia's small movements, his eyes were a little divergent, and he muttered and repeated, with a complicated expression......
