Chapter 412: Cao Cao goes north
Knowing Cao Cao's choice, Cao Song didn't talk nonsense, and immediately sold his business, and at the same time went to Cao's house in person.
Indeed, his surname is Xiahou, so what? Since he has been Cao Teng's adopted son and his surname is Cao, then he is the Cao family, and he is also the head of the Cao family! When I went back and directly announced Cao Cao's decision, I asked who agreed and who disagreed?!
"Wherever Mengde goes, we will go!" Cao Ren didn't say a word, and came forward directly.
"Where my brother goes, where I go!" Cao Chun naturally also stood up.
"It's like I'm not interested." Cao Hong smiled, and immediately stood up behind him, four or five Cao disciples.
"Patriarch, Meng De wants to choose the Lord to serve, and I don't object, but if the general situation is uncertain today, all of them are bet on one person, and the risk is too great." Some clan elders came to ask for instructions, after all, it was not Cao Cao who was self-reliant, so everyone could have no hesitation.
Since the family is the boss, then it is natural to give full support. But now it's a defection to someone else, and that's risky.
"You don't know!" Cao Song has his opinion, "Then Liu Tao has a lot of talents, and there are fewer people with him, so I am afraid that he will be despised." Besides, it doesn't matter if there are more people, as long as they are united, then they will be a system of their own in the future. Then Liu Tao is interested, so he will continue to be under his command, if he is incompetent, he can go out independently, or even replace him! ”
In his opinion, with Cao Cao's talent, it is absolutely okay to be a prince, but he has special feelings for the Han and does not want to be the thief, so he can only find a clan to take refuge in.
"I see!" Cao Song gave this reason, although everyone is still a little unrelieved, but they can reluctantly accept it.
The principle is also very simple, nothing more than learning from the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassals of my vassals, not my vassals. The old Cao family brought by Cao Cao, and even the people of the Xiahou family, only obeyed Cao Cao, not Liu Tao.
In these years, the scholars are used to being domineering, and they are comfortable to do, so the monarchs and ministers are safe. If you don't feel comfortable, just hang the print and go!
Cao Cao's actions naturally attracted the attention of the two people. One is Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao, Cao Cao recruited troops in his territory, as an old acquaintance and friend, he had to come and ask.
After asking, I found out that it was Liu Tao who was conquering, and Cao Cao planned to take people over to defect.
"The environment of the state is so bad, and there are Southern Xiongnu on the other side of the West River, and there is Xianbei out of the Great Wall, how can Chen stay comfortable?" Zhang Miao had to persuade him, "Meng De, why don't you be a subordinate to me first, and then find an opportunity to win a territory in the future, and have the final say yourself, how can it be better than others having the final say?" ”
Zhang Miao doesn't have so many ideas at the moment, but out of the identity of his old friend, he persuaded Cao Cao.
"Meng Zhuo has a heart, but Cao Mou has made up his mind, so he doesn't need to persuade him." Cao Cao also knew that Zhang Miao was thinking about him, but he didn't say that it was okay, and he remembered it when he said it.
Liu Tao not only completely subdued the Southern Xiongnu, but also defeated Xianbei twice, causing Xianbei to form an alliance with the roots of Xianbei, and then form a border trade.
Compared with those guys who hide behind and enjoy comfort, this kind of internal chaos and external shock is what makes him appetizing. Or: Husband, be so!
Zhang Miao saw Cao Cao's firm attitude, and it was difficult to continue to persuade him. It's just that I don't understand, there is no one to ask for people in the state, there is no land, or the border towns need to divide troops to guard against the Hu people, how can the Central Plains be comfortable......
I really can't understand why Cao Cao likes to go to that kind of place to suffer.
Zhang Miao is one of the eight chefs, in the final analysis, he spent money to buy fame, and finally became Chen Liutaishou. The family has money, and because of this, people are a little lazy and hardworking. When he was the captain of the capital, he couldn't endure hardship, so he moved a little and became Chen Liutaishou.
The other is Wei Zi, a big businessman who stayed in Chen, in fact, he can't be said to be a big businessman, after all, it's his 'family' who is in business, Wei Zi is a scholar, how can he be in business? The family has a small amount of money......
"I heard that Mengde is going to merge with the state?" Wei Zi took the initiative to find Cao Cao, after all, he didn't show up, and his attitude was lowered. Strictly speaking, now Cao Cao is also white, and the reputation of the problem is there, and it is also a matter of time before he is requisitioned.
"Well, the state pastor has issued a book of conquest, and Cao thinks he can go over and take a look." Cao Cao said briefly.
"With Mengde's ability, no matter where it is, it is like the bright moon in the sky, and it is difficult to ignore it." Wei Zi smiled, "It just so happens that Wei is also planning to fight for the future, not only is he fortunate to have a tail?" ”
"Oh, Zixu is also interested?" Cao Cao was a little surprised, this Weizi was a big family in Chen. Seeing that the eight chefs started, he was also very generous to the scholars, but why the eight kitchens were eight kitchens instead of the ninth kitchen, couldn't he see it?
It can only be said that it is not Dongshi's imitation, but it is not so easy to accumulate fame quickly.
During Cao Cao's stay in Chen, he was often entertained by Wei Zi, so he also had a good impression of him. But it's just a good feeling, after all, the purpose of the other party's approach is really obvious.
"Liu Bingzhou started from the end of the ......" Wei Zi smiled and did not finish.
The meaning is already very clear, starting from the end of the micro, which means that no one uses it, and most of them have their own factions except for the three righteous brothers. In addition, there are some rangers, or children of local good families, who are not allowed to be on the stage.
People in these years have probably seen this way, and they think that scholars are representatives of culture. As for those cold doors, they can only be helped, and as for those rangers and good families, they don't need to be looked at squarely.
Liu Tao is short of people, and he will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie in the past, and in the future, he will be too guarded, and even the state pastor will be very relaxed. If you can't serve well, you can also change the court.
In addition, there is another point, that is, there are a lot of goods in the state recently, and a small number of woolen fabrics have been sent to Chenliu, which has caused many people to rob them.
It retains both demeanor and temperature, so in the scholar class, it is naturally crazy to rob.
When he went to Bingzhou, he had to see the woolen workshop, even the paper workshop, and the winemaking workshop, to see if you could learn other people's crafts, and go back to open your own workshop. Family business, no more.
"Well, it is estimated that they are also seeking development over there, and Zixu is also good in the past." Cao Cao probably guessed Wei Zi's thoughts, but it didn't matter. Anyway, if someone brings it over, it's his business whether Liu Tao wants it or not.
The key is that Weizi will follow the past, and there will definitely be a thousand of them, and the key is the supply of materials, which will definitely be enough for him to pass. Otherwise, let him make it up, it is estimated that he will not be able to make up so many materials, and along the way, it is estimated that he will have to find a way to hunt, or crusade against bandits to subsidize some supplies.
The matter was settled in this way, and before leaving, he had to send a letter to Liu Tao to inform him of his decision in advance. lest he seem abrupt in the past, and the key other party did not prepare in advance, and did not know how to arrange them.
When the time comes, it is estimated that Liu Tao will regret it. If you can give it too low, then your own people will definitely not be happy.
"Meng De, if you plan to serve the Ming Lord, can you count me and others?" Just as he was about to go on the expedition, two scribes came to the front of the army......
