Chapter 179, the remembered Daddy Cao

。。。

"Then Kong Ming will go back with us now?" , Liu Bei said with a smile, after sitting in Qingzhou Academy for so long, the matter has been almost dealt with, and it is time to go back.

"Well, follow the orders of Xuande Gong", Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go back, it's not good to stay in this teahouse after all", Liu Bei said with a smile, there are more and more people watching them next to him, and they can't stay here anymore, otherwise it will be even more difficult to leave after being recognized.

Liu Bei took Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang away, after all, Zhuge Liang had already decided, there were not so many bells and whistles, and there was no difficulty in the romance, of course Liu Yi would not be okay.

"Xuande Gong, you take Kong Ming to arrange it first, I'll go to Qingzhou Academy to have a look", Liu Yi said with a smile, there are indeed some people in Qingzhou Academy who serve those scholars and people, but you can't just let it go, at least you have to know a result.

"Okay, the matter of Qingzhou Academy will be handed over to Ziang", Liu Bei said solemnly, how could Liu Bei not know the importance of Qingzhou Academy, but he couldn't interfere with the specific affairs inside.

"Leave it to me," Liu Yi said with a smile.

Then he glanced at Zhuge Liang, turned his head and walked in the direction of Qingzhou Academy, and finished his business first.

"The relationship between Xuande Gong and Ziang is really good", Zhuge Liang sighed, this kind of relationship of trust between monarchs and ministers is really enviable, with such a monarch's trust, Liu Yi can't do anything he wants to do.

"Ziang is very relieved to do things, but sometimes I am a little lazy, and I will have to talk about him in the future", Liu Bei said with a laugh, and then led Zhuge Liang to go around the government affairs hall.

Here Liu Yi walked into Qingzhou Academy, and soon found Kong Rong, as the dean, he has to come and see what he says, he is picking a teacher at this time.

"Lord Dean, I don't know if your husband has picked it well", Liu Yi teased.

looked at the few people who followed behind Kong Rong, and it was estimated that they had almost picked it.

"It's Ziang, it's almost", Kong Rong said with a smile, he is not often here, and there are no special requirements for picking a teacher, so the selection is also very fast.

Kong Rong turned his head and said a few words, letting those who were selected disperse, and then walked to Liu Yi's side.

"Ziang's Qingzhou Academy is really willing to spend money, this Qingzhou Academy is about to catch up with the prosperity of Beihai", Kong Rong said with a smile, in fact, it is also a bit exaggerated, although Beihai is small, but it is also a county, Qingzhou Academy is just a academy built outside Chengyang, maybe it can be compared with Beihai City.

"To lay a solid foundation for Qingzhou in the future, it doesn't cost a lot of money", Liu Yi stretched out his hand and said as he walked, standing and standing, Liu Yi just went to see the situation in other places.

"As soon as Ziang's books come out, papermaking will be famous all over the world", Kong Rong stroked his beard and said, just saw those books for scholars, it is really like the letter said that books, they can still be mass-produced, this is a huge progress for the world's literature, how can it be named in history.

"Don't worry, the dean, because Qingzhou Academy only came up with these books, how can I have your share of the credit", Liu Yi said as he walked.

Everyone understands this kind of thing, borrowing Kong Rong's fame, maybe Mr. Teaching may have some connections with Kong Rong in the future, Liu Yi doesn't care about these false names, but Kong Rong cares, so why not be a good person and achieve a win-win ending.

"Ziang is polite, the old man is a nominal dean, how can he have any credit", Kong Rong laughed at himself, at this time, he didn't dare to agree directly, it seemed like he couldn't wait, it was not good.

"The dean said that it was funny, without your business card, how could Qingzhou Academy do so well like it is now", Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, this old man, if you want to be polite, I won't show you dumbfounded.

However, Liu Yi also understands this kind of sophistication, after all, I have to be polite no matter what I say, otherwise it is not good to eat too ugly.

Kong Rong smiled without saying a word and continued to walk forward.

"Ziang, do you really want to accept children for free teaching, you must know that this requires a lot of upfront investment", Kong Rong said suspiciously, the cost of free education for children is too great, and the most important thing is that there is no effect at all.

"It's not that it's always free, I'll make a charter when I go back", Liu Yi said with a smile, it must not be free all the time, there are so many children, there must be some policies.

In this way, Kong Rong and Liu Yi chatted without a word, not mentioning a word about papermaking and printing, the books have come out, it is a matter of time before these things become famous, some things can be clicked until they are finished, there is no need to say it so explicitly.

On the other side, Xuzhou.

"Boss, there are so many boxes of treasures, we really have to escort him to Yanzhou, there are not many opportunities", an officer and soldier said fiercely, with a sideways face.

"Then what should I do, Tao Qian's old man finally took us in, and if we offend his brothers again, will we have to live that kind of precarious life in the future", Zhang Min said helplessly, they have been very honest since these defeated yellow scarves were taken in by Tao Qian, so Tao Qian dared to be their father who came out to escort Cao Cao.

Zhang Min is also very tempted, the number of these treasures is more than he has seen in his life, but he is a little hesitant, now that he has finally settled down, do he really want to return to his previous life.

"Boss, you are confused, there are so many treasures, where to go is not to go, and it is not only Tao Qian who is a prince, robbed the treasure and found someone to run to, how could he Cao Cao find us", the soldier continued to tempt Zhang Min, there were too many treasures, and the interests were moving, he really couldn't help it.

"Okay, then do this vote again, and then take your brothers to find a prince to defect." , Zhang Min finally agreed, there are really not many opportunities for this kind of opportunity, in the face of so many treasures, who dares to guarantee that he will not be moved.

In this way, the amazing wheel of history is sailing along the original trajectory, and Liu Yi is still looking at Qingzhou Academy.

Having said that, the massacre of Xuzhou in Romance is not necessarily so simple. Cao Cao got Yanzhou at that time, and listened to Mao Jue's advice, like the imperial court surrendered, and added a legitimate reason to himself, for the king to quell the chaos, and then expand the territory everywhere, and raise troops and fields, it was the spring breeze when he was proud, but he didn't expect to come with bad news, this bad news gave Cao Cao a thunderous blow, and Cao Cao was in pain and weeping, what happened, it turned out that Cao Cao's father died, and it was not a natural death, but someone killed, who is so bold, even Cao Cao's boss father dares to kill ah. It was Zhang Min, a subordinate of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, who killed Cao Cao's father. Tao Qian was also a problem boy when he was young, a wanderer, who had never been young, Tao Qian was a gangster when he was young, but he was lucky, he was favored by a Taishou, and married his daughter to him, this kid was also very competitive, and he made it all the way to the position of assassin history, and but the Yellow Turban Army came to attack Xuzhou, and he was stunned to break up, as a result, the Yellow Turban Army went to Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou are relatively close, and Xuzhou has no Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time he is still in Xuzhou to raise people and promote Buddhism, so to speak, many people have moved into Xuzhou, and the people of Xuzhou are doing well. Later, he also took in the Yellow Turban Army of General Zhang Min and others.

And at that time, Cao Cao's father really didn't come from Tao Qian's meaning, it can only be said that this Cao Cao's father is too greedy for money, is an out-and-out miser, Cao Cao's father recognized a eunuch as a godfather, to be a guard, and looted a lot of jewelry, gold and silver, rare and exotic objects, so, when Cao Cao became bigger, dominated Xiongzhou, and was proud of the spring breeze, his father went to him, and he went to him, and Cao Cao's father also brought all his property with him, which was full of more than 200 large boxes. You said that these boxes were seen, who is not red-eyed, who is not good for fire attack, so, this Cao Cao's father took the baby and walked for a few days to be remembered, or the escort guards were targeted, and when Cao Cao's father arrived in Xuzhou, this group of people shot, killed Cao Cao's father, with treasures, played a disappearance, a typical murder of goods, but this time it was Cao Cao's father who was killed. To this bad news, Cao Cao was angry, the crying dead and alive, listening to sadness, smelling tears, I don't know, everyone found out, those overlords in the Three Kingdoms are very capable of crying, tears come when they say, and then Cao Cao changed the military flag to a white flag, with the word revenge written on it, vowing to sweep Xuzhou. There are many people who comment that Cao Cao's revenge for his father is just a cover, after all, Xuzhou is on his side, and the battle between him and Tao Qian is only a matter of time, this time it happens that his father died in Xuzhou, and he can finally win Xuzhou for this reason, although it is a bit ruthless, but, on the road to the world in ancient times, what kind of love is there, father and son cannibalism, brother killing each other should be common, although the current TV series, there are so many love and affection for people, but in ancient times, There aren't so many options. Why do you suspect Boss Cao, because after Cao Cao became the prime minister, why didn't he find Zhang Min to avenge his father's murder? Just looking for Tao Qian to take revenge, you must know that Cao Song has been living in Langya County under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou for several years, Tao Qian has a good relationship with him, and Taishan Tai Shou Ying Shao, who was sent by Boss Cao, once fought with Tao Qian in the third year of Chuping to crusade against Li Dao, and the relationship between the two is not shallow. Judging from these points, Tao Qian sent people to protect Cao Song, and it was normal behavior to show favor to Cao Cao, and Liu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of behavior.

It's a pity that the problem lies with the generals of the guards. Cao Song traveled from Langya to Yanzhou, carrying more than 100 cars of gold and silver, which was really eye-catching. Many of Tao Qian's subordinates are Yellow Turban generals, and it makes sense that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms general Zhang Min is set up like this. In addition, in the areas of Huaxian and Feixian, there are many rebels gathered, and the public security situation is very bad.

More importantly, after Zhang Min killed Cao Song, Cao Cao did not do his best to go to Huainan to chase and kill his father's enemy, but spread all his anger on Tao Qian in Xuzhou, captured more than ten cities in Xuzhou, and slaughtered the city and killed all the people. The whole of Xuzhou was frightened, but fortunately, Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, led troops to rescue Xuzhou and barely resisted the offensive of Cao's army. At this time, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others joined forces with Lü Bu to launch a rebellion in Cao Cao's hometown of Yanzhou and captured most of the counties in Yanzhou. Cao Cao didn't want to fight chickens and eggs, so he could only withdraw his troops and Xuzhou could be saved.

As for Zhang Min, after defecting to Huainan, he did not disappear. Huainan is Yuan Shu's territory, and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are at odds, not to mention that Zhang Min has hundreds of carts of gold and silver, how could Yuan Shu not accept Zhang Min? Zhang Min did take refuge in Yuan Shu, and under Yuan Shu, he took up the job of assassinating Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen Guo. Being a killer is Zhang Min's forte.

At that time, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to know Zhang Min's whereabouts, but at this time, Yuan Shu was still very strong, once the two sides fought, Cao Cao could not take any advantage, but Xuzhou was different, as long as there was no interference from outsiders, it was almost easy to take Xuzhou, and Cao Cao could also take this opportunity to connect Yanzhou and Xuzhou together, and the eastern front would no longer have any worries. Cao Cao did not chase and kill his father-killing enemy Zhang Min, but set his sights on Tao Qian in Xuzhou, eliminate Tao Qian, and occupy Xuzhou, without spending a lot of effort, but he could greatly increase his strength. Moreover, if the army is sent on the grounds of avenging his father, and the division is famous, the opportunity for other princes to forcibly interfere will be greatly reduced, and the morale of the whole army will inevitably be greatly boosted.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's abacus played very loudly, but unfortunately, he didn't expect Lu Bu to stab him, and this knife was inserted very deeply, almost killing Cao Cao. The matter of avenging his father will naturally be over.

Liu Yi guessed that Liu Bei's repeated refusal of Tao Qian to let Xuzhou was not Liu Bei's original intention. As a local official in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu, and as a tiger general under Liu Bei's account, Guan Yu Zhang Fei only saw Liu Bei's favorable side, but did not see Liu Bei's unfavorable side. But Liu Bei is different. As a result, Mi Zhu and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can only be ministers, while Liu Bei is the master. Insight determines status.

Liu Bei got Xuzhou, but his ass was not hot yet, and Lu Bu came. Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou and had already won a complete victory, but Cao Cao made a quick decision to withdraw his troops from Xuzhou and counterattack Lü Bu with all his might. Lü Bu was too big and superstitious about his own force, similar to Xiang Yu, but he did not listen to Chen Gong's advice, gave up his garrison at the vital point, and was defeated by Cao Cao at Dingtao. After Lü Bu's defeat, he gathered people on the seashore to discuss the way out. Lu Bu's idea was to go to Yuan Shao again. Chen Gong disagreed, but knew that Lu Bu was stubborn and it was difficult to follow his own advice, so he said to Lu Bu: "Send someone to Jizhou to inquire about the news first, and then you can go." "Let Lu Bu touch a nail himself. Lu Bu and Yuan Shaoben have some friendship. In Lu Bu's opinion, he killed Dong Zhuo and avenged the Kwantung princes, which should have been a great benefactor. But Lu Bu didn't understand that Yuan Shao had been complaining in his heart that Lu Bu had killed Dong Zhuo. With Dong Zhuo here, the princes from all walks of life will gather under the banner of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, for Yuan Shao's command, once Dong Zhuo dies, the successors Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generations are busy with the civil war, and they are simply unable to fight against the Kwantung princes, and the Kwantung princes will naturally scatter as birds and beasts, and each will take care of his own one-third of an acre of land, making Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, become the commander of the light pole. On the same day, Lu Bu fled to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was polite to Lu Bu, first, Lu Bu still had some military horses, plus his personal force was super strong, it was better to take him in for the time being than to offend; Second, on Yuan Shao's territory at that time, there was also the most powerful Yellow Turban Thief force, that is, Zhang Yan, known as the "Black Mountain Army". Although Zhang Yan once surrendered to the imperial court, he supported his troops in Yuan Shao's territory and did not obey Yuan Shao's dispatch, so Yuan Shao naturally could not keep him. Yuan Shao has been attacking for many years, but he can't attack for a long time. Zhang Yan, a peasant uncle, is still very smart. But it was different when Lu Bu came, Lu Bu went out and swept thousands of troops, plus his Xiliang iron cavalry, each like a wolf and a tiger, and soon, Zhang Yan was defeated, withdrew from the city, and retreated in the mountains. Yuan Shao saw that his ground was basically peaceful, and Lu Bu had no use value, so he drove Lu Bu away. Now that Lu Bu has been defeated by Cao Cao and wants to return to Yuan Shao's territory, how could Yuan Shao agree? Yuan Shao's advisers said that Lu Bu was a jackal, and once he got Yanzhou, he would inevitably plot against Yuan Shao's Jizhou, so it was better to give up his prejudices with Cao Cao and attack Lu Bu together. So, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to lead an army of 50,000 to help Cao Cao come. went to greet Yuan Shao's horse to report back to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was shocked. At this time, Chen Gong said his plan, and heard that Liu Bei had just captured Xuzhou and could go to take refuge. Chen Gong is also a controversial figure, talented, but unprincipled. Back then, Chen Gong left Cao Cao angrily because Cao Cao killed Lu Bohao's family, but later ignored Lu Bu's indiscriminate killing of the people, refused to adopt his own suggestions many times, and pestered Lu Bu's side, so that he was ruined and laughed for the world. When Lu Bu's future was uncertain, Chen Gong's strategy was equally unscrupulous. Who is Lu Bu, and who is Liu Bei in Romance? One is a three-surnamed slave who has no concept of good and evil, and the other is a Han clan relative whose name of benevolence and virtue is all over the world, but Chen Gong told Lu Bu that Liu Bei "just captured" Xuzhou, that is, told Lu Bu that although Liu Bei has many counties and counties in Xuzhou, he seems to have a million people under his command, and he can gather 100,000 troops and horses at any time, but because he has just captured, his foothold is not stable, and the people's hearts are not attached, so he can take advantage of the situation and occupy the magpie's nest.

Compared with Cao, Liu, and Sun, Lu Bu's mind is not very bright, but he is far above ordinary people, so he naturally understands what Chen Gong means. So he led the military horse to Xuzhou. Hearing that Lu Bu was coming, Liu Bei proposed that Lu Bu was a warrior today and could go out of the city to greet him. The strategist Mi Zhu objected, saying that Lu Bu was a tiger and wolf, had no faith, and was extremely dangerous, and could not be taken in, and once taken in, it would inevitably hurt people. Look at Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao, who took in Lu Bu, weren't they all killed by Lu Bu one by one? Mi Zhu makes a lot of sense. Later, Lü Bu was captured by Cao Cao, and Lü Bu proposed that if Cao Cao could let go of him Lü Bu, Cao Cao would lead the infantry, and he Lü Bu would lead the cavalry, and he would definitely be able to sweep the world and dominate China. Cao Cao was very tempted, and at this time it was Liu Bei who poked a sentence beside him: "Cao Gong don't forget Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo." As a result, Cao Cao was ruthless and killed Lu Bu. So, in other words, of course Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu was a tiger and wolf disciple, and it was extremely dangerous to take him in, so why did he still greet Lu Bu? Liu Bei said something to refute, Liu Bei believed that if it wasn't for Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou before, how could he relieve Cao Cao of the danger of attacking Xuzhou. Liu Bei said that the reason why Cao Cao withdrew from the army was ostensibly because of Liu Bei, but in fact because of Lu Bu. Many people commented that Liu Xuande clearly said it, how bright and loyal? However, Liu Bei may not have been without a little calculation, how many military horses did Liu Bei have at that time? There is no accurate data on how many military horses there are in Xuzhou City, but at most it is 350,000, and the key point is that these 350,000 people are not loyal to him Liu Bei. The only people loyal to Liu Bei were the 3,000 men and horses he brought from the plains. We can see that after Liu Bei obtained Xuzhou, only Mi Zhu, the representative of the civilian officials, appeared in Xuzhou, where did Cao Bao, the local supreme general who participated in Tao Qian's defense of Xuzhou, go? Didn't show up. did not show up, which means that he refused to join Liu Bei's group, and Liu Bei has not been able to recruit others. Against Cao Cao, who had 120,000 military horses, Lu Bu's tens of thousands of cavalry could still be defeated many times, and against Liu Bei, who only had 350,000 military horses - only 3,000 people who could fight to the death, Lu Bu had a great chance of winning. Since facing the battle head-on, it was difficult for Liu Bei to win, so Liu Bei chose to take the second path: forming an alliance.

It can be said that in the battle of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not as simple as they seem, each prince has some considerations, and Cao Cao's father's death is just a fuse.
