The scale of Yecheng has now become very large, and it can be seen that Cao Cao really intends to build this place as his only main city, and the cement and masonry that are not passed down in Luoyang are only Yecheng in the world, and they are also controlled by craftsmen sent by Luoyang.

Because of this convenience, when Cao Cao planned the construction of the city, he could be as big as he could, and as strong as he could, the scale of Yecheng had almost expanded more than ten times in a few years, and even a lot of farmland was encapsulated within the city wall.

Looking at the tall and somewhat outrageous city walls, Yuan Yun really didn't know what to say except for a wry smile, if Cao Cao could distribute these materials evenly, it would be enough for the city defenses in many other places to be renovated once.

However, the thing was handed over to Cao Cao, so how to use it is not something that others can intervene at all.

Cao Cao is still very reliable in general, at least he is not crazy enough to waste his palace like this, his palace materials are much more frugal, the scope is not very large, and the pattern is similar to Xu Du Cao's Mansion, the only difference is that the area is twice as large, and there are many more high-rise buildings.

Among them, Cao Cao's study is the tallest, and it is also the highest place in the city, looking out from the window, you can almost look down on the whole city, I believe that Cao Cao's hobby on weekdays is to lie on the window and peep into people's privacy.

Yuan Yun scolded in his heart, and Cao Cao was sitting by the windowsill at the moment, this time it was a family gathering, so it didn't seem so restrained, and he didn't even sit down, just by the tea table by the window of the study, the two sat opposite each other, and on the other hand, Cao Jie was served by Bian's leader.

Cao Cao had been scanning with his eagle-like eyes since Yuan Yun entered the house, as if he wanted to see a little difference from Yuan Yun, which made Yuan Yun very nervous.

Even if he is already very familiar with the old man in front of him, every time he is stared at like this by the other party, he still feels very uncomfortable, which can also be seen that this eternal demon god is definitely not a false appearance.

"Can you read the edict issued by the imperial court to Luoyang?" After Cao Cao asked casually, he began to pour his boiled wine again, and he seemed to prefer it to boiling tea.

Yuan Yun smelled the smell of wine in his nose and couldn't help frowning, before nodding and replying: "I've already seen it all, and I completely agree with such a strategic deployment." ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed even more thinly, and said, "Don't you see that there are many unfavorable factors in this strategy?" ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, Cao Cao didn't seem to have any vague meaning about the strategy to weaken Luoyang's strength, and asking so bluntly was tantamount to admitting it to his face.

"Now it is our Luoyang who is facing Yizhou and Jingzhou, so it is understandable to deal with these two alone, although it is very difficult, but Cao Ang Shizi also said, but whatever Cao Cheng wants, we will obey unconditionally." After saying this, Yuan Yun took over the dishes he had just sent from Cao Jie, who was blushing.

For this famous Cao Jie to blush, Yuan Yun paid more attention, after all, what Cao Cao said has become an established fact, and there is no room for discussion at all, so it is better to take a look at the pretty face of his future wife.

Cao Cao seemed to be very satisfied with Yuan Yun's answer, he now had no weight in his own authority, and he couldn't tolerate others saying nothing to him, especially after defeating Karasuma, this sentiment was even heavier.

"The development of Luoyang is really beyond the expectations of the old man, so it is natural that you are hated, the old man agrees with Chen Qun's decision, but it is just to let you make fewer enemies, clear about this, in the future, you should give up the idea of eating alone, let the people in the court also join you, so that the interests are equal, you can reduce a lot of trouble."

How is it? Is it better to let go of Luoyang's closed ban, so that other nobles in the court can also join it, and give up some of their rights, so that the court can control you more easily? After Cao Cao said this, he began to look at Yuan Yun with interest, as if he was very curious about his answer.

Yuan Yun looked at Cao Cao's eagle eyes staring at him, and originally wanted to politely refuse this proposal, but suddenly remembered Shi Zhuge Liang's words, when he met Cao Cao today, he would refuse no matter what the other party asked, and he also specifically mentioned that he must speak in a tough tone and not hesitate at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Yun's face instantly became serious, and then he said loudly: "The reason why Luoyang is better than other cities is precisely because we are unified from top to bottom, only listen to the orders of Cao Ang Shizi, and a large number of outstanding talents have been cultivated under the Luoyang system. ”

Cao Cao was rejected by Yuan Yun so face-to-face, and even the other party compared the officials in the court to wild dogs, but he was not angry, but unexpectedly showed a look of relief, and his cold eyes finally had a warm color.

Slowly scooped the hot wine into the cup, and then indifferently pushed it in front of Yuan Yun, Cao Cao nodded and said: "The old man has been in the world for decades, and has never compromised with others, but the greater the pressure, the more opportunities the old man has, the big tree that does not grow up in adversity will sooner or later fall down because of the unstable rhizome, those officials of the imperial court have been setting up obstacles for you, and the old man has always looked at it, the reason why he does not interfere is to see how capable you little rabbit cubs can be, and now it seems that the effect is quite satisfactory." ”

Saying this, Cao Cao motioned for Yuan Yun to raise his glass and drink together, and after the two put down the wine glass, Cao Cao grabbed the scoop again and began to carefully add wine to the glass, and continued to say in his mouth: "You must think that the old man let the gunpowder army deal with Yizhou and Jingzhou at the same time this time in order to weaken the strength of the gunpowder army, right?"

Hehe.

But if it were the old man himself, I'm afraid he would understand it like this, but don't you have some other ideas?

Don't tell the old man, you really can't deal with Liu Bei and his puppet Liu Qi, Luoyang's strength may be able to hide from those officials in the imperial court, but how can you hide from the old man's ears and eyes?

Your newly made weapon is very good, the old man tried it, except that the sound is a little louder, the power is really impressive. ”

When Cao Cao said this, the wine in the cup was also filled again, so he returned to silence again, and just looked at Yuan Yun with a smile.

Yuan Yun was in a cold sweat on his back at the moment, what Cao Cao just said was a rifle, and this kind of weapon is not generally strictly controlled in the workshop in Luoyang, each one has a number to check, and it will definitely not flow out, Cao Cao actually got one, and there are bullets for him to use.

It is already certain that Cao Cao must have planted a lot of eyes and ears in Luoyang, and it is still a very important position, otherwise how could he smuggle the rifle out so easily.

It can also be guessed from this that Cao Cao does have a very detailed grasp of Luoyang's intelligence, and as for how many secrets have been revealed, it is really difficult to judge at the moment, but I just hope that Deng Ai's special forces will not be exposed, after all, this force is completely out of Luoyang's system, and it is also the most likely to escape Cao Cao's surveillance.

Cao Cao saw that Yuan Yun was silent, but he couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he had scared this son-in-law too much today.

So Cao Cao's face softened a little, and he said with relief: "Today, if you agree to the old man's request and agree to install officials in Luoyang, then the old man will definitely look down on you, so the old man will definitely do it, because instead of letting Luoyang fall into the hands of you boys who have no responsibility, it is better to let the old man send someone to control it thoroughly, although it may not be able to do the same rapid development as you, but after the old man's people control it, at least the old man can rest assured."

But today, seeing that you are so strong, the old man is very pleased, and he handed over Luoyang to you like this, and the old man recognized it. ”

Yuan Yun felt a little relieved in his heart, at least at this moment it proved that Cao Cao was not too clear about Deng Ai's troops, which meant that there was a lot of room to play.

"Luoyang is now guarding Yizhou and Jingzhou for the imperial court, which will inevitably reassure my father-in-law, although Liu Bei is now strong in troops, but when he first arrived in Yizhou, he made such a big conscription, and his morale and quality must not be high, even if there are many people, he is not the opponent of the gunpowder army.

Although Liu Qi in Jingzhou took over Liu Biao's team, many people still stand in Liu Cong's connections, and he is also the heir designated by Liu Biao, if he can make good use of it, although Jingzhou has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, it is not worrying. ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking calmly, he naturally began to taste the warm wine, and changed the title to father-in-law, which immediately made the atmosphere between the two more harmonious.

Cao Cao seems to like Yuan Yun to call him his father-in-law, so when he talks, he calls himself an old man, and he doesn't call an orphan or a widow, he just doesn't want to use the throne to create a gap in front of Yuan Yun.

"When you come to Luoyang, there will definitely be a lot of people targeting you, don't let the old man see what he doesn't want to see, after all, Cao Jie is the meat of the old man's palm, and he can't stand the slightest grievance." Cao Cao was explaining, but this time he still stared at Yuan Yun after speaking, still waiting for the next article with interest.

Yuan Yun didn't say anything specific this time, just smiled lightly and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, whether it is coming to Luoyang to marry this time, or if she lives in the Yuan Mansion in the future, she will definitely not owe her identity, as for some uninteresting, then I don't plan to make them feel better." ”

Cao Cao heard Yuan Yun say this, and he didn't plan to ask for details, so he waved his hand and beckoned Bian to come to him, and then pointed to the table and said: "Bring the beef prepared before, by the way, you and Jie'er will also come to drink two sips, and eat with your own family, don't care about those who have it or not." ”

Bian Shi laughed and said, "You just take care of our reunion, Sister Ding is still waiting for our son-in-law to come over to meet, she will definitely not come to your study, so just let the two of them go over." ”

Cao Cao nodded and smiled, patted his head and said: "I forgot about this stubble, the Ding family really thinks about you little ones, and now a few happy people around me have run out to run for their own future, so let's get together when we come back this time." ”

Bian quickly sent Yuan Yun out, and then summoned Cao Jie, and then ordered a few maids to accompany him, and took the two to the backyard of the palace.

Yuan Yun went down to the door of the study, stretched out comfortably, and then squinted at Cao Jie and said, "I finally passed the test, every time I see your father, I am scared, it's really sad." ”

Cao Jie changed his previous difficult temper, and followed Yuan Yun two steps behind him very meekly, abiding by the rules of the woman's house.

Yuan Yun saw Cao Jie like this, although he felt very fresh, but he still felt awkward after all, so he stopped, bent down and laughed: "Hey, hey, don't pretend, gentle and lovely people are not your style, not only are you awkward when you learn this, but I also look awkward." ”

Cao Jie was stunned, his eyes widened and said, "But Sister Wen Ji said that what you like most about her is dignified, so I think since you are married...... If I marry you, I should ...... too"

Yuan Yun interrupted halfway through hearing this: "You can pull it down, the Jiemei in my impression will always be the brutal appearance when I first saw you, and my favorite is also that appearance, even if you move to Yuan's Mansion in the future, you should keep that appearance, people, only living like yourself is the most attractive." ”

"Really?" Cao Jie carried her beautiful face, always a little unconvinced, after all, those people in the house taught that set, but no one was as easy-going as Yuan Yun.

Seeing Cao Jie, who was still confused, Yuan Yun simply stretched out his big hand, hugged the other party in his arms, and began to walk towards the inner house with his shoulders in such a bad way, this time not only Cao Jie panicked, but even a few maids who led the way also panicked, where have you seen such an unruly uncle?
