12. Swim in all directions and do not return
And the state, Jinyang.
"The general inspected Hongnong?"
Cao Yuanxu, who was dressed in a brocade robe, held his long beard and asked the staff in the same car softly.
The staff bowed his hand and said:
"Yes, but I only inspected Hongnong, I didn't cross the river, and the general's car has already returned."
"Hmm," Cao Yuan nodded, and asked again:
"Didn't summon Zhai Hao?"
"Nope. Not only General Zhai, but also the generals and colonels of Koji, Xu, Ma, and Wei were not summoned. โ
"Oh! In this way, it is not for the sake of the military affairs of the Kanto region. โ
Cao Yuan, as an earlier soldier of the Northern Army who followed Yan Xing's campaign, ranked one of the three lieutenants in the original army, and had many meritorious services in the battle of pacifying Baibo and returning Hedong, and was entrusted with important tasks by Yan Xing.
At the beginning, Zhou Liang's comment on Cao Yuan was "hidden in the chest and enterprising", and in the pursuit of fame and fortune, Cao Yuan, who was ambitious to join the army, has been tireless. So much so that at the beginning, when Yan Xing ordered him to train in Tuntian, Cao Yuan's heart was still reluctant.
Nearly ten years have passed, and Cao Yuan, who is over forty years old, still has not cooled down in his pursuit of fame, but has become more blazing because of the great victory in digging Taiwan.
When he learned that Yan Xing's eastern tour was not to summon himself, let alone to summon Zhai Hao in Henan, Lu Yi in Hanoi, Xu Huang in Shangdang and other guards, he instantly felt that this matter had become boring.
"Isn't it really going for some auspicious luck?"
Cao Yuan smoothed his long beard and asked with a sneer.
"Many people also think so, it is said that Zhou Junmou Peng is still on the mountain where he can see auspiciousness, and he led everyone to persuade him to enter."
"These villains who only care about climbing upwards are really bold. As I expected, the hussar generals would have rebuked them. โ
Cao Yuan scoffed.
"Yes, but Zhou Junmou and the others have not been severely punished, have they?"
The staff reminded Cao Kite in a rhetorical tone.
In today's troubled times, some things, as long as they start, there will be people who continue to take risks to try, and the difference is only a matter of time.
Cao Yuan was silent, if it was really as his staff said, then he would not be able to be left behind.
Thinking about things, there was a loud singing sound outside the carriage.
"The long gong is back!
Eat no fish.
The long gong is back!
Out of the car.
The long gong is back!
No home. โ
Cao Yuan, who was disturbed by his thoughts, frowned, raised his hand and pushed open the window, he saw his carriage passing through the streets of the market unimpeded, the cavalry who opened the road and guarded, and the bright blades in the hands of the armor soldiers, made the pedestrians and merchants on the street avoid one after another, but there was also a kudzu cloth robe, the scribe in soap silk and black shoes was not afraid of the cold, lying sideways on the side of the street, the book was lying aside, he was holding a long sword and playing the sword body, while singing as if no one was around.
Cao Yuan noticed his robe and long sword in the chaotic crowd, thought about it, and suddenly said:
"Stop!"
"Stop-"
Under the heavy transmission of the staff and personal soldiers, accompanied by a loud and powerful order, the army marching through the streets of the market stopped in the surprised eyes of everyone.
After a while, the staff stepped out of the carriage, raised their eyes and looked around at the surrounding merchants, and walked straight to the soldier who was playing and singing.
When the soldier heard the footsteps of the staff, he stopped singing in advance, sat up with his sword, looked at the staff and asked with a smile:
"What's the point?"
This was unexpected by the staff, and in his consciousness, such a foolish person would often have to be more aside, and continue to sing his "Song of the Long Gong" intoxicatingly at this time.
He barely managed to maintain a little patience, and after judging the other party's accent, he did not answer the question, but asked:
"Down-to-earth out-of-state? Dare to ask respect. โ
"Under Anonymous."
"Huh." The staff sneered, a trace of patience vanished in an instant, and his face became stern.
"Under the rule of Jinyang, you are strictly arrested for those who do not produce and wander, you have no name and no surname, but you are in the city, is it not an enemy and a spy, spreading rumors and confusing people's hearts here?"
"Hahaha." The man was not afraid of the cold eyes of the staff, he laughed, flicked his sleeves, said "go", and then fell down again, ignoring the staff standing beside him.
"You!!" Anger erupted in the staff's eyes, but he gritted his teeth, finally pressed down, turned and walked briskly back to the carriage window.
"My lord, he's just a madman from outside."
The staff turned his head and glanced at the scholar, and said in a contemptuous tone, Cao Yuan moved his eyelids and did not speak. As if he had heard the words of his staff, the man laughed loudly:
"Who is it that someone goes to the countryside, leaves his six relatives, abandons his family business, and wanders in all directions without returning? The world will be called a madman!"
Hearing this loud voice, Cao Yuan couldn't help laughing, and he casually lowered the car curtain.
"It's a madman indeed, bring him back!"
ยทยทยท
And the state of the assassin Shiguan Temple, wings.
"Yingchuan Xu Shu, I've seen Jun Hou!"
The scribe who had been brought back from the streets of the city had lost the slightest hint of his madness, and was saluting Cao Yuan with a solemn face.
Cao Yuan, who returned the inspection, biography, calligraphy, long sword and other things, smiled, moved closer to help Xu Shu's arm, his eyes fell on Xu Shu's knuckles and calluses in the tiger's mouth, and asked with a smile:
"Yuan Zhi is good at fencing?"
"He is young and frivolous, he has no success in learning swords, and he doesn't dare to claim to be good at it."
"Haha, Yuan Zhi is from Jingzhou, so I don't know what happened when I traveled to Jinyang?"
Cao Yuan smiled, didn't care, and asked about the purpose of Xu Shu's visit.
Xu Shu did not hide it and said:
"Studying and studying in the state, in order to visit the scenery of the northern country, but also to seek to be among the enterprising people."
In recent years, there has been a gradual resurgence of scholars from the north who fled to the south to avoid chaos.
After a fierce annexation and offensive in the north, only the forces of Yuan, Yan and Cao were left, and the overall situation tended to ease in the tense confrontation between the three families, while the power in Jingxiang and the state in the south was held by Liu Biao's clan, Cai, Kuai, Huang and other local clans, and the exiled scholars often sighed that they did not have a chance to show their talents, so they turned to the north to find the master.
It's just that today's Yuan, Yan, and Cao families are no longer grass-roots, and it is very difficult for scholars to easily enter the hegemony by virtue of their talent and reputation, so they first go to the accounts of the civil and military ministers of each family, and then hope to get the opportunity to rise to the top through meritorious service and recommendation, which is also a good shortcut.
Cao Yuan knew it in his chest, and he also wanted to know Xu Shu's talent, so he immediately asked:
"Yuan Zhi, since you have been in Bingzhou for some time, what do you think of the Taiyuan military and politics?"
"Jun Hou is strict in governing the army, and there are many soldiers in a hundred battles under his command, but he just looks at the politics of Taiyuan, and steals and worries about the state!"
"Hahaha-" Cao Yuan laughed, but he didn't believe it in his heart, he asked:
"What's the concern?"
"I thought that if Hebei sent to attack, I was afraid that it would be in danger of overturning in an instant."
Cao Yuan shook his head, even more incredulous. He asked Xu Shu to step forward, pointed to the map of the mountains and rivers in the hall and said,
"Taihang even in Jizhou, where thousands of miles, begins with the arms and ends with Yan, is the spine of the world, the mountains are high and deep, and its east-west traffic is only through the small mountains and mountains. Now the shape and location are all into my hands, if Yuan Shao raised the people of Heshuo, I can still refuse, the situation is partial to the general's division, when the division of the brigade, for the hussar general to swallow it. โ
Xu Shu also shook his head and said:
"Since you entered Jinyang, you have dismissed the travelers and lightly dismissed the little endowment?"
Cao Yuan nodded. He was ordered to run Taiyuan, and he was also responsible for military and political affairs, and the decrees such as dismissing travelers and lightly dismissing and meager fu were all drawn up by his staff and handed over to Cao Yuan for decision-making.
At the beginning, Gao Gan, as Yuan Shao's nephew, spared no effort in running his own business, and even exceeded the scope of the power of the ministers, but Cao Yuan, as a general under Yan Xing, could not be as unscrupulous as Gao Gan.
The dismissal of a large number of Quartet travelers before the dismissal of senior cadres to show that they have no intention of gathering people to divide the territory, and to be light and thin, is to win the hearts of the people of Taiyuan and promote the name of their own benevolence and righteousness.
But in Xu Shu's view, these are all means to add to the snake.
"I don't know the hussar general's temperament, but the king has received a heavy responsibility, and he should let it go. The people in the high-ranking officials' mansions, if they can't use it, they can't indulge it, they cherish the grace of the old master, they are familiar with the reality of the land, once they are used by Yecheng, it will be a big disaster! โ
"Lightly paying for the meager endowment will not solve the current difficulties of the monarch. On fame, on benevolence, Kansai is not as far away as Hebei, the generation of the handsome, heroic, although the feeling of the grace of the monarch for a moment of forgiveness, but the three rivers, Guanzhong soldiers and horses before the murder of father and son, burning people, forced requisition Ding, the hatred of grain is still there, the army of Heshuo once arrived, and the people of the state will look forward to the wind and surrender, no longer for the use of the king. โ
"In this case, it is better to collect the accumulation of the county and county, detain the children of the sect marshal, gather the remaining soldiers who can fight, and enrich the fortified city of Jinyang, so as to make a fundamental plan."
After listening to Xu Shu's proposal, Cao Yuan's face changed slightly, of course he knew what would become of Xu Shu's strategy if he implemented it, and he said suspiciously:
"Looking at the current situation, the state should not be like this next, right?"
Xu Shu said firmly:
"That's it! Jun Hou, can you know the story of Wei Han Zhao chiseling Tai to kill Zhibo? โ
Cao Kite bowed his head. Xu Shu continued:
"If the combined forces of Yan and Cao had destroyed Hebei at the beginning, it would have been two strong countries standing side by side, and naturally there would be no follow-up, but unfortunately although Jun Hou captured the annexed state, Yuan Shao's foundation was still there, and the power still existed, and Cao Cao did not move, and his attitude was unclear."
"At the moment, the soldiers in Kansai are more aggressive than Zhibo. The relationship with Xu Du is not as good as the contract between Zhibo and Han Wei, and the common hatred between Yecheng and Xu Du will surpass Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi, and Han Kangzi. The situation is repeated, shouldn't you be worried? โ
After listening to Xu Shu's words, Cao Yuan was silent for a long time, and he didn't make up his mind for the time being, but he already believed that the scribe in front of him had learned a lot different from those staff members recruited under his account, and his attitude also changed, and he said respectfully:
"Mr. Xu, since you have the intention of being enterprising, it is better to stay under the account of the general and obey the orders first, with the talent of Mr., sooner or later there will be a day when the clouds will rise!"
