Chapter 14 Cao Cao arrives in person
Yan Xiang, who heard this answer, was not very disappointed in his heart, after all, he had already expected this result when he came. It is also because www.biquge.info of this result that Yan Xiang believes that Gao Ye has no intention of winning the Central Plains. To tell the truth, when Sun Jian's troops entered Runan before, Yan Xiang knew that Gao Ye was not involved in the struggle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, although he felt that with Sun Jian here, it should not be difficult to defeat Liu Biao, but if Gao Ye had the heart to fight for the world, he would naturally not sit idly by and watch the two of them fight. After all, Jingzhou is next to Yingchuan. No matter who wins or loses this battle, as long as there is a result, Gao Ye will have a chance to take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou. But Gao Ye seemed to be fascinated by Cai Yan, and even missed such a good opportunity for the wedding, if such a person was the lord, he would definitely be named mediocre. With the wisdom of Gao Ye, he would never do such a thing.
Xun Chen, who met Gao Ye before him, is said to have sighed for a long time, which shows that Gao Ye was not interested in Yuan Shao's solicitation. It's just that now I don't have any interest in the solicitation of my own lord, and I really don't understand what Gao Ye is going to do. Looking at what he did, he had no intention of fighting for hegemony, but now he rejected the two biggest princes in the world, and a few days ago he killed Han Fan in Jingzhou, which made Huang Zu's reputation stinky, but I am afraid that he has no intention of taking refuge in Liu Biao in Jingzhou. So, what is he doing it for? Does he want to see who can gain the upper hand between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and who he can't take refuge in?
Although Yan Xiang, who had left the High Night Mansion, had thought a lot, there were not many things that he really figured out. Gao Ye's abnormal behavior made his heart that he was sure of his intention to take refuge begin to waver again. In fact, with Cao Cao's current strength, who would believe that Gao Ye was interested in joining Cao Cao? But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, at least you know that Gao Ye didn't take refuge in Yuan Shao, since he chose not to help each other, it wasn't a bad thing for Yuan Shu. Moreover, now that Sun Jian is dead, Sun Ce and the others are like rootless Ping, and it is not difficult to turn around and persuade them to surrender. That Sun Jian had relied on Yuan Shu before to gain a firm foothold in Ruyin. This time, his son Sun Ce's situation was even more difficult than that of his Sun Jian at that time, and now he wants to return to his hometown in Jiangdong, since this is the case, who can they rely on except their own lord?
With the departure of Xun Chen, Yan Xiang and other princes' envoys, Yingchuan seemed to have returned to its former peace all of a sudden. Except for Cai Yong, Xun Jing and others still criticizing Huang Zu, there is nothing else. What surprised Gao Ye the most was the Hedong Wei family, after they received Cai Yong's letter and wedding card, they didn't let people make trouble, and they didn't even say a word of objection, but instead adopted the attitude of pinching their noses and admitting it, and sent Wei Qi to congratulate them. Maybe the Wei family really doesn't want to trouble Gao Ye and Cai Yong, or maybe the current Wei family feels that they don't have the ability to trouble these two people at all.
Anyway, the Wei family didn't jump out to make trouble, and Gao Ye's hanging heart was put down. After all, I don't want any accidents at my wedding. Since the Wei family is so knowledgeable, he doesn't mind giving them some benefits to appease them. Hedong is only a distance from Yingchuan, and it is only a distance from Luoyang, how can the name of the Yingchuan Chamber of Commerce not be heard. Although they have been embarrassed and have not joined the Chamber of Commerce before, they have been following other businessmen to earn this money for some time. Now that it has officially joined the Yingchuan Chamber of Commerce, the increase in income can be expected. What's more, Gao Ye's compensation to the Wei family is not only this, this time the Taishi chair, the Eight Immortals table and some other wooden furniture that everyone saw at the wedding banquet really made the famous Confucians who came here, or the envoys from all walks of life praised it. Gao Ye is now handing over this business to the Wei family, and this love is really not small. The most important thing is to tie himself and the Wei family together in the way of interests, so as to calm the Wei family's still somewhat dissatisfied mood, and find himself an excellent ally in Hebei, Gao Ye's behavior once made Wei Qi think that he was going to dominate the world.
Wei Qi, who was full of apprehension, did not receive an accurate answer from Gao Ye at this time, because Gao Ye now had a more important matter to deal with. Yesterday, I received a newspaper from Xuchang, and Cao Cao personally came to congratulate Gao Ye. Although it was said that the wedding had passed, Cao Cao, who had been delayed because of trivial matters, was really unhappy in his heart, so he came to Yingchuan to say hello in person. Although Gao Ye did not believe this reason, it did not prevent him from going out of the city to meet Cao Cao in person.
However, it was said that since Cao Cao handed over the government affairs to Xun Yu and the military affairs to Xiahou Dun, he took Cao Ren and Cao Hong to Yingchuan together. There were only five hundred elite horsemen accompanying him, as for the congratulatory gift, Cao Cao didn't think so much, after all, Cao Ren had already given Gao Ye a big gift before, and the main purpose of his coming this time was to persuade Gao Ye to take refuge in him, so the congratulatory gift was the Qingyu Sword in his hand. After all, how can gold, silver, and jewelry be more valuable and meaningful than being a sword?
Cao Cao, who passed Xuchang, did not continue to hurry, he had not been to Yingchuan for many years, although he often heard people say how good Yingchuan was, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was naturally skeptical. Now that the East County under his rule no longer has the trouble of yellow turbans, and the lives of the people tend to be stable, but in Cao Cao's view, the people under his rule are compared with the people of Yingchuan, which is simply one on the flat ground and one in the sky. Especially when I saw the KitKat farming tools used by the farmer, I was even more curious, and I took people to look at them for an hour, and then I set off again. The calm and tranquility in Yingchuan has completely convinced Cao Cao, if it is the same in the Han world, how good it would be!
"Zixiao, you just saw the farmer mowing the grass with me, and the farmers in our East County usually pull it out directly, or cut it with a knife, but it has little effect. If you look at the farmer in Yingchuan, the knife is strangely shaped, but it is used to cut weeds, and it is indeed very fast. It is said that Yingchuan farming tools are magical, I still don't believe it, but now when I see it, it is really extraordinary. I really don't know who created these delicate farm tools. ”
"My lord, I've heard of this." Cao Hong on the side took the lead and said, "It is rumored that this is Gao Taishou's dedication to farming, so when he dreamed at night, Emperor Shennong taught him." If it weren't for that, could Ann have such a wonderful thing born? ”
"Zi Lian, Zi is silent, and the power is chaotic!" Cao Cao said with a smile, "These things are just rumors spread by the people in the market, and they are not enough to be believed." I see, there must be masters under Mingxi. He studied under the Zongheng family, but he was not a school of studying how to farm. ”
"Lord, I heard that although Gao Taishou was taught by the Zongheng family, he learned everything he had learned, and all the sons and hundreds of schools were all-encompassing. Don't you know what Gao Tai kept on the night of the wedding banquet...... Fireworks, when this is stunning. The dark sky was suddenly thundered, and then it was colorful, like flowers blooming. It is said that this object was made by Takasumoru, so it is not surprising that he was able to invent these agricultural tools. Cao Ren said with a smile on the side.
"Well, that's right. I think that he made wine and tea back then and became the love of the world, but I forgot about his skillful hands. I just remember the good handwriting he wrote, haha! Cao Cao said, Cao Ren and Cao Hong around him all laughed together.
"Lord, you don't know, that day we attended the wedding banquet, although we also knelt down and sat at the table, but before that, we all sat on a new thing, and I didn't care what it was called...... Chair, yes, that's the word. To be honest, this chair is really comfortable to sit on, not only that, but what other tables and chaise longues are in the inn, which is really amazing. That Gao Taishou is not only very good at fighting, but this whimsical idea is also very accessible. ”
"Not only that, Zixiao, Zilian, do you feel that this Yingchuan territory is calm, as if it is two worlds with other places. I won't talk about Dongjun, I just experienced the yellow turban ravage, and it is still full of devastation. You look at other places, the wars are going to war, the famine is fleeing, where is the peace and tranquility here. This high night is not only full of economy, but this means of governing the place is not ordinary. ”
"But the more so, lord, will this Gao Taishou really take refuge in the lord? No matter how I think about it, I think this thing is too impossible......" Cao Hong scratched his head on the side and said, "Besides, even if he really takes refuge in the lord, can he really obey the lord's control?" He is now so famous, and he has a life-saving grace to the lord outside Luoyang City at that time, which ......"
"Zilian doesn't have to worry. Whatever the outcome, I'll have to wait until I've talked to him. Mingxi and I are best friends, as long as he is willing to help me, even if he doesn't recognize me as the lord, what can I do? He Gao Mingxi has always been a person who repays his favor, as long as I treat him sincerely, he will never leave me. ”
"That's right, but ......" Cao Hong wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Cao Cao shaking his hand, and said: "Then Xun Wenruo once told me that he came to me to listen to Gao Ye's opinion, do you think he Gao Ye sent Xun Yu to me?" Gao Ye once told me that Xun Wenruo made great contributions to Yingchuan Dazhi. He sent me so much that he made it clear to me that he intended to defect to me. You also know that I have only become the Taishou of Shangdong County now, and I have no official position before this, if I don't invite him in person, do you think he can put down his face and go to me? Cao Cao said with a smug smile, "Now that I have become the Taishou of Dongjun, I have the same official position as Gao Ye, and there was Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, who took refuge in Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, and now he has taken refuge in a Taishou of Dongjun at Gao Ye, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it." What's more, he intends to take refuge, but I don't know what kind of conditions he will put forward so that he can sincerely assist me......"
The three of them chatted about the night while marching, and when it was dusk, they finally saw the city wall of Yingyin. Seeing that there were a lot of people standing at the city gate, Cao Cao immediately squinted his eyes and watched carefully. Even Cao Ren was the same, and after a while, Cao Ren said: "Lord, at the gate of the city, isn't it Gao Taishou who came to greet you in person?" ”
