After Deng Zhan responded, Cao Shuo looked at Zhu Ao: "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Ao said: "I have the same opinion as General Deng, when I see his appearance, I can't wait to step forward and slap him twice." ”

"Good thing you didn't." Cao Shuo smiled: "Otherwise, I will definitely ask you." ”

"He dares to contradict Childe, why is Childe still protecting him?" Deng Zhan asked in surprise: "Don't you think this person is annoying at all?" ”

"To make people with higher ranks than him feel annoying, this person is exactly what I need." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If the county magistrates everywhere are like him, and they can confront me for the sake of local interests, the officialdom must be a righteous atmosphere, which will discourage the small people." ”

"I see." Deng Zhan said: "We only saw him confronting the son, and we really didn't see this." ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Walking to the window and looking at the somewhat dilapidated scenery outside the window, Cao Shuo said: "I have seen at least three things from the Haixi County Order. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao glanced at each other, and neither of them asked Cao Shuo what he saw.

"First, he is an upright official, and it can be seen from the fact that he not only did not grovel in the face of me, but dared to speak out." Cao Shuo said: "Tian Gong is such a character, sometimes I am annoyed by him and want to arrest him and punish him." But after thinking about it, if I am surrounded by people who are sloppy and patting horses, the officialdom will become popular sooner or later, and it will be difficult to clear the filthy atmosphere. ”

"It's still Childe's ability to see through." Deng Zhan said: "Ordinary people can only see being bumped into by others, where can they see so much? ”

"There's Cai Ji, and there's General Deng." Cao Shuo looked at him, grinned and said, "When Cai Ji and Wei Tu were by my side, they were a little similar to the two of you. One doesn't like to talk much, and the other speaks with a sense of sycophancy. ”

"I can't compare with General Cai." Deng Zhan smiled: "General Cai's sycophant kung fu is really the best in the world." ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo smiled: "It's still far away, at least Cai Ji has done it without leaving a trace when he patted his ass later." ”

Speaking of Cai Ji, Cao Shuo looked out the window again: "I don't know how Cai Ji is now, and how the construction of the highway is progressing." ”

"Childe just said that there are at least three things seen from the Haixi County Order, and what are the other two?" Zhu Ao asked thoughtfully.

"General Zhu and Wei Tu are very similar, always asking inappropriate words when they are out of place." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I was thinking about Cai Ji, but you asked about the Haixi County Order." ”

Zhu Ao grinned very embarrassedly: "I'm honest......"

"This sentence shows that it is not honest." Cao Shuo said: "Okay, I'll tell you all the three things I saw on him." Second, the Haixi County Decree is from an institution, and he can have such a long-term vision, which shows that our university cultivates talents in an eclectic manner, and there is no expertise of everyone. I don't want mass-produced officials, I want officials with personality. Only personality can be publicized, publicized without arrogant, and can help me govern a good place. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao glanced at each other, and the two of them seemed to understand what Cao Shuo meant, but they didn't seem to understand too much.

"Three." Cao Shuo continued: "I saw a force, a strength that was condensed in the officials. It's good that they don't want to enrich themselves, but to seek benefits for the local community. If every official can do this, the world will surely have peace and stability for a long time. ”

"Actually, it's also related to the fact that Childe has given them enough benefits." Deng Zhan said: "To be a county order, you don't need to spend money on where you live, and the food is provided by the government." There is also a very generous salary every month, even if they are greedy for money, unless it is like the previous Haixi County Order, it will be more than worth the loss. Who would do the kind of thing that would cost their lives for the sake of petty profits? ”

"You said one right, and the other said, but you didn't see it." Cao Shuo said: "I gave them a rich salary, as long as they become officials, they can change their lives, and they can ascend to heaven." But at the same time, I do not tolerate them enriching their own pockets, and a few days ago I issued an order that if you find that officials are greedy for money, they will be killed. Let them see the good and bad at the same time, and of course they won't do anything wrong with me again. ”

"When does Childe plan to return to Shouchun?" Deng Zhan asked again.

"If you don't leave tomorrow, will you stay here and be disgusted?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "With the temperament of the Haixi County Commander, if we are here for too long, he will definitely feel that the hospitality costs too much money." I wish we could leave as soon as possible. ”

"If it weren't for Childe saying that he likes such a person, I really wouldn't like him." Deng Zhan said: "Being an official under Gongzi, he still dares to dislike Gongzi......"

"Being disliked is actually a kind of happiness." Cao Shuo laughed: "It's been so long, and it's the first time I've been disliked." Even Shi Guangyuan before didn't dare to treat me like this. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao both shook their heads with a smile.

At this time, outside Yecheng, Hebei, Cao's army had already retreated.

But they did not retreat too far, but stationed in the city not far from Yecheng, waiting for the beginning of spring to attack Yecheng.

On the walls of Yecheng.

Yuan Shang and the judge stood side by side.

The Cao army outside the city had already retreated, looking at the empty Yecheng outside the city, Yuan Shang said: "Although Cao Cao has retreated, I think he will come back soon." ”

"Of course he'll come back." The judge said: "Cao Cao's heart to destroy Hebei will not die, and when the spring begins, Cao's army will definitely come to Yecheng again." ”

"We can't sit still?" Yuan Shang said: "The eldest brother is attached to the Cao family and has betrayed Hebei, and I can't let him live too freely." ”

"What do you mean by ......," the judge asked.

"I'm going to send troops against Nanpi." Yuan Shang said: "As long as we can capture Nanpi, Cao Cao will have less help from the eldest brother's side, and we will have a few more chances of winning." ”

The judge was silent for a moment, and then asked Yuan Shang, "Does the general really want to attack the eldest son?" ”

"What other options do we have now?" Yuan Shang asked rhetorically.

didn't say anything more, and the judge didn't know how to respond.

At the beginning, he did help Yuan Shang get Hebei, but what happened later made him sincerely regret it.

After Yuan Shang won Hebei, he fought endlessly with Yuan Tan.

Neither of the two brothers had the intention of backing down, and the conquest of each other consumed Hebei's strength, but created the best opportunity for Cao Cao to break through Hebei.

"Did the General really decide to do that?" After a long time, the judge asked Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang said very decisively: "Now I have only such a way to keep Hebei!" ”
