Three days later, Yingchuan Yang Zhai.

Dealing with the affairs of various counties for many days has made Liu Fan physically and mentally tired.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The counties gradually stabilized, and Liu Fan was very pleased. Today, Liu Fan unloaded his burden and fished aimlessly beside Yingshui.

Bamboo rods are used for fishing rods, twine is used for fishing lines, and sewing needles are used for fishing hooks.

An hour passed, Liu Fan patiently watched the fish float, the fish float never moved, and he did not move.

At this time, a person appeared behind Liu Fan.

Liu Fan didn't look at the comer. Still concentrating on fishing.

No one made a sound.

Another hour later, Liu Fan was still calm. It was morning when he came, and it was noon.

In May and June, the umbrella is high.

Even Liu Fan was sweating profusely when he was sitting on the stone, let alone the person standing next to Liu Fan, I saw him waving his sleeves again and again, sweating like rain.

"Brother Shimin, it's time to change the bait." A voice came, but the man was Cao Cao.

In the past ten days, Liu Fan has never met Cao Cao again. Cao Cao deliberately avoided Liu Fan. Liu Fan did not take the initiative to find Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew that after Liu Fan moved closer to the eunuch, he was very uncomfortable. In recent years, he repeatedly impeached Liu Hong against ministers close to the eunuchs. He couldn't accept that Liu Fan, who was regarded as his confidant, was also close to the eunuchs.

Cao Cao is still in the stage of youth and vigor, and it is impossible for him to be at peace with some things and let them go.

Liu Fan is kind and loving to the people, why should he go with the flow in officialdom? Are rights really that scary?

When Cao Cao was forty years old, he knew how terrible power was. When you pick it up, you don't want to put it down.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Meng De, you didn't say a word when you came over, I thought it was my personal guard." Liu Fan pretended to be surprised and said.

"The people of the world work for the people, and it is rare to have this Yaxing. I'm afraid I'll disturb the fish, and I'm afraid I'll disturb you. Cao Cao said in deep words.

What does Liu Shimin mean by this? He stood behind him for an hour, and he didn't look at it. Did he guess that the person was himself, on purpose?

Cao Cao's words made Liu Fan cry and laugh. He reached out and grabbed the stone on his right to the left. Motioned for Cao Cao to sit down and speak.

Cao Cao waved his robe and sat down.

"Brother Mengde, do you know why I'm fishing?" As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Fan asked Cao Cao.

"There are only two kinds of fishing, one for fish and one for fishing. The former is for harvest, the latter for fun. The people of the world do not need the former, but prefer the latter. Cao Cao said slightly.

Liu Fan chuckled and shook his head.

Cao Cao wondered if he was fishing for fish, not for fishing.

"Fishing is waiting, waiting for hope." Liu Fan said to Cao Cao, his expression was sanctimonious.

"But I waited disappointed." Cao Cao said profoundly.

"It is better for you to be disappointed than for me to despair." Liu Fan said unabashedly.

The two looked at each other, sparks. Liu Fan seemed to hear Cao Cao's heart, but Cao Cao was confused again.

Liu Fan knows Cao Cao well, which is his only advantage in coming to this world.

"I came today to say goodbye to the people, the court ordered me to be the prime minister of Jinan, and I will return to Luoyang in the afternoon to hand over the seal. I just hope you and I are not like rain. Cao Cao said to Liu Fan.

Two geese and one goose, Cao Cao's words were full of parting meaning. At this moment, Cao Cao felt that Liu Fan was still his confidant.

"Congratulations to Brother Mengde!" Liu Fan said solemnly.

"I heard that Your Majesty recognizes you as the emperor's brother, and set up 2,000 stone to conquer the north general to seal you, and you can open the mansion to govern affairs. I really envy you as a brother. Cao Cao sighed with envy, but there was no trace of envy on his face.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Fan's side face, and Liu Fan's face rippled slightly.

"Does the people already know?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Liu Fan replied neatly.

He really didn't know about it.

Liu Hong recognized himself as the emperor's younger brother, and he felt that a lot of fog in front of him had dispersed because of this identity. But something was tied to it.

The military attache of the general Zhengbei has not appeared in this era, and the generals of the four expeditions and the generals of the four towns will appear widely during the Three Kingdoms period.

"There are many fish in the water, and they can't float, which proves that there is no bait. It's time for the people to change the bait. Cao Cao said to Liu Fan again.

Liu Fan lifted the fishing rod, and Cao Cao clearly saw that the top of the fishing hook was empty.

But Liu Fan did not add bait to the hook, but continued to put the hook in the water.

"Without a bait hook, trying to catch a fish is tantamount to a fool's dream. Why not add bait? Cao Cao asked Liu Fan again.

Taigong fishes, and those who wish take the bait. I know it's fake, but I'm willing to be fooled.

Liu Fan has no bait, what means do you want to play?

"I didn't bring the bait at all, and I didn't want to take the bait." Liu Fan said contradictoryly.

Cao Cao glanced around Liu Fan and found that there was nothing around him except for his sword.

Come fishing without bait, Liu Shimin is funny?

"The people of the world can give eunuchs a full cart of gold and silver, but they are not willing to give it that insignificant, in comparison, it is just a drop in Taicang." Cao Cao sneered.

"For eunuchs, I have to be willing to give first, and then seek long-term benefits. I don't fish for fish, and I can't catch what I think with bait. Liu Fan looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

After he succeeded as the prime minister of Jinan, he vigorously rectified, and seven or eight out of ten officials of Jinan were taken down by Cao Cao. The powerful and corrupt officials fled one after another, making a county clear.

Cao Cao didn't have long to show his skills, because he didn't cater to the powerful, he was recalled by the court as a councillor and led the East County Taishou. Then he resigned from illness and returned to the township. Reading in spring and summer, hunting in autumn and winter. Temporary seclusion.

"Willing, giving, only gaining, the focus is on. Give first, then take, and then far benefit, the focus is on taking and benefiting. Liu Fan said again.

This is the same as the desire to capture and indulge in the art of war, in order to lose first, and to lose is to gain. If you want to capture it, you can only use it on the battlefield. Give first and then take it for the political court.

"The people of the world have given up, are the benefits they have received enough?" Cao Cao asked vaguely.

"It's not enough." Liu Fan shook his head.

Looking at Liu Fan, who was as quiet as water, Cao Cao had a sudden emotion: Giving birth to a son should be like Liu Shimin. Liu Shimin is the best among people, it would be nice if my son was like him.

"It's not too early, I'm leaving." Cao Cao stood up and saluted, turned to leave.

How could Liu Shimin easily bow to the eunuchs? He's going to play a big game. Its purpose can only be known when he is victorious or defeated.

Cao Cao is reluctant to give up in his words, but he has a decisive personality and knows what to do and what not to do.

"There will be a date later!" Liu Fan put down the fishing rod and returned the salute.

After seeing Cao Cao disappear from view, Liu Fan lifted the fishing rod and left Yingshui as well.

He hadn't thought about fishing. Fishing without bait, he wants to catch people.

This person includes himself, including Cao Cao, including some unknown people.
