As soon as Gao Ye's voice fell, everyone looked towards Gao Ye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, after everyone discussed it just now, they were all full of confidence in winning Xuzhou. Especially Mi Zhu's genius accusation of Tao Qian, which really made Tao Qian embarrassed. Guo Jiadu praised Mi Zhu with a smile and said: "With Zizhong's article, Tao Qian will not be angry to death, but will also be angry and vomit three liters of blood." Although this is just Guo Jia's joke for a while, the truth is similar to what he thought, and now Tao Qian can only barely drag his tired body and continue to take care of various matters in Xuzhou.

The situation in front of him was very good, but Gao Ye suddenly went against the norm and reminded Cao Cao that there were two things that he had to pay attention to, so the lobby that was still full of laughter and laughter was quiet in an instant, and everyone was waiting to hear Gao Ye express his opinion, even Cao Cao looked at Gao Ye and smiled: "Mingxi and talk about it." ”

"Lord, the first thing is nothing else, that is, please treat the people of Xuzhou well." Gao Ye arched his hand and said. After saying that, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "If you don't say this, I know it." As Mingxi said back then, people gather the power of the people. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou, there has been no swordsmanship. That Tao Gongzu was also a man of great talent back then, and Xuzhou was also governed by him very well. The people were rich, and their grain and grass were abundant. Now that I want to take Xuzhou, I will naturally envelop the people more, and you don't have to worry about this. ”

Gao Ye shook his head and said, "How can I not be worried? Although Tao Gongzu is now dying, he has been in Xuzhou for nearly ten years, and his prestige is very high, and he has the name of benevolence and righteousness, and the people are very loved. My lord, your army crosses the border, even if you are willing to fight the people without offending, I am afraid that the people will attack your grain route under Tao Qian's instigation. If the lord has not considered this matter, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will become a last resort to sacrifice the butcher's knife. ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, nodded and said, "Mingxi doesn't say anything, I almost forgot." Yes, if the people are in turmoil, I will not be able to march safely. If the people are slaughtered, it will inevitably be called a cruel and murderous name, which will only make the people of Xuzhou more afraid of us. In this way, Xuzhou is easy to fight, but it is not easy to govern. ”

"Haha, why should the lord worry about this." Cheng Yu on the side laughed, "Has the lord forgotten that this great gift that Zizhong gave to the lord is not enough?" ”

When Cao Mo heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Zhongde's words are reasonable. Now we are waiting for the teacher to come out of Xuzhou, it can be said that the teacher is famous, as long as the people show kindness, the people can also understand the righteousness. ”

Cheng Yu shook his head on the side and said: "Not only that, but now it's the end of the year, and the cold weather is naturally not the time to send troops." Therefore, even if the lord wants to attack Xuzhou, it will be in April and May next year. In this small half a year, the lord should send a fine work into Xuzhou to publicize Tao Qian's evil deeds. In this way, Tao Qian's reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the hearts of the people was completely ruined...... "With Cheng Yu's narration, a vicious counter-plot was executed in Xuzhou under the clapping of Cao Cao, presided over by Guo Jia.

Speaking of which, Cheng Yu's reputation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not very loud, but in Gao Ye's eyes, this guy is definitely a ruthless person. may be because his strategy is too ruthless and vicious, so in order to portray Cao Cao as a sinister and cunning villain, Luo Guanzhong counted many of Cheng Yu's tricks on Cao Cao. At least in Gao Ye's opinion, Cheng Yu's counter-plot was absolutely just right, and he hit Tao Qian's weakness with one blow.

You must know that this kind of gossip, once it becomes people's after-dinner conversation, it often spreads faster and makes people feel more credible. In particular, the object of discord is a group of farmers who can't read a few big characters, and as long as one believes, the whole village will believe it. There is a village where everyone believes it, and the people of the entire Xuzhou believe it, and it is not a difficult thing. And with Mi Zhu's inscription in front, as long as people are allowed to spread it, the reason why Cao Cao came to attack is because of Tao Qian's criminal behavior and his ugly act of harboring Zhang Min, and the people will definitely be convinced of it. After all, Mi Zhu is also a famous person in Xuzhou, and what he said should naturally be true in the eyes of the people.

Once the people were convinced of this, Cao Cao's attack was entirely due to Tao Qian's evil deeds, and the people would put all the blame on Tao Qian. Speaking of which, they are just ordinary people, and a prosperous and stable life is what they want. Now because of Tao Qian's actions, Cao Cao has invaded in a big way, and when the time comes, the war will be together and the lives will be ruined, isn't it all Tao Qian's fault? Once it comes to such a scene, no matter what Tao Qian has done for them, in the hearts of the people, he is the culprit who destroys everyone's stable life. In this way, as long as Cao Cao announced that Qiu had committed no crimes, the people would naturally not be able to attack Cao Cao for Tao Qian's sake.

As soon as this matter was resolved, Gao Ye also secretly bowed his head, in his opinion, it was quite embarrassing, but he didn't expect it to be solved by Cheng Yu in a few words, so good. It's only November now, and there are still many months before the troops can be sent to Xuzhou, which is enough for Guo Jia to operate. Therefore, Gao Ye smiled, and then said: "This second thing is about the Yanzhou family. Now that the lord has proposed a meritocracy, the interests of the family will be harmed by more than a star. The Yingchuan family is also very dissatisfied with this, if it weren't for Mr. Xun Jing's appearance, plus Zhong Xuan's appearance, I'm afraid that Yingchuan's situation would also be worried. However, the Yanzhou family, whether it was the Zhang Miao brothers or the Chen Palace, expressed many dissatisfaction with the lord. Moreover, they are officials in the counties of Yanzhou. Once the response is not good, I am afraid that Yanzhou will be unstable. Therefore, the lord has to guard against the Yanzhou family. ”

"Hmm. Although what Mingxi said makes some sense, Mingxi, you also know that the reason why I proposed meritocracy is because I don't want to be constrained by the Yanzhou family. Now that Yingchuan Academy is willing to accept the children of the Yanzhou family to study, the opposition in Yanzhou has gradually disappeared. I guess there shouldn't be any problems. ”

Guo Jia was unusually surprised when he heard this, and said quietly: "What if this time the flag stops, is it for a bigger plan?" ”

Cao Cao was also stunned when he heard this, and Guo Jia's words seemed to have some truth, but he still shook his head and said: "Meng Zhuo and I have been friends for so many years, and when we crusaded against Dong Zhuo back then, the two of us never had a disagreement. What's more, if I can enter Dongjun and sit firmly in Yanzhou, with more of my strength, I believe that Meng Zhuo will not betray me. That Chen Gongtai is indeed quite talented, I have already ordered him to be the Taishou of Dongjun, and I think I can also appease the heart of the Yanzhou family. Besides, the Yanzhou family has not done anything now, if I am very protective of them, I am afraid that it will backfire, but I will force them to come against me together. It's not proper, it's inappropriate. ”

Gao Ye also nodded when he heard this, that's right, after all, the emperor's family is fast, and he doesn't kill innocent people. Now that the Yanzhou family is working hard for Cao Cao, not only has no fault, but also has merit, how can Cao Cao doubt it for no reason, and alienate and guard against these people? Moreover, Cao Cao's current Wenchen generals are basically divided into four factions, one faction is Cao Cao's own clan children headed by Xiahoudun; One faction is the Yingchuan people led by Gao Ye; One faction is Li Dian and Le, who come here like this, and have no roots in foreign officials; The last faction is the Yanzhou family. Now in the core of Cao Cao, the Yanzhou family does not even have a place, and it is no longer very valued by Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is unusual, be careful against them, I am afraid that they will not have any objection, but will also have objection.

But Chen Gong here, and had to be guarded against, although it was written in the history books that it was because Cao Cao opened a killing spree and killed famous people Bian Rang, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Yanzhou family, and Chen Gong united Zhang Miao and others to rebel together and welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou. But in fact, if it weren't for the damage to his own interests, how could Chen Gong do such a thing? The family always does things only because of the pros and cons, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong. As long as it's profitable, that's right, that's what they'll choose to do.

Therefore, although Cao Cao's reasons were sufficient, Gao Ye still persuaded: "That's right, but I always feel that the Yanzhou family is only afraid that there will be some big moves." The lord is now a Yanzhou assassin, but in fact, there is no one from the Yanzhou family who has become the lord's confidant. The Yanzhou family can't control the lord, and because of the meritocracy, it hurts the interests of their own family, I don't think they will give up. As the family teacher often says, 'It is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and it is difficult to draw a dragon, a tiger, and a person who knows the face but does not know the heart', so as to prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, and said, "In that case, Mingxi, what do you have in mind?" ”

Gao Ye smiled and said: "In today's plan, the lord must not only guard against the family, but also not startle the snake. Taishan has Zilian, Jiyin has wonderful talents, so naturally there is no need to worry. The lord could let Wen Qian enter Dongping, and Manchester City was stationed in Shanyang, in the name of preparing to attack Xuzhou, and collect all his troops. Immediately ordered Dongjun, Chenliu and other counties to transport grain and grass to the Liang State and Lu State, and everything was prepared for the felling of Xu. As for Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, don't worry about him for the time being, if you do too much, it won't be beautiful. ”

"Well, Mingxi's words are very good. At that time, the soldiers and horses of all counties are under control, and there is no grain and grass in Chenliu and Dongjun, and the Yanzhou family is powerless even if they want to fight back. Xun Yu said with a smile on the side.

"That's right, having lost control of the army, the family is just a disease of ringworm." Gao Ye said with a smile, "But the lord should also give an order to improve the supervision system." After all, the disadvantage of meritocracy is that these unvirtuous people are officials, and they will inevitably cause trouble in the place. If there is no supervision, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe. Moreover, the person who reports does not necessarily have to be an official, but also the people. In this way, it can be effective...... "Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Ye immediately said the supervision system in his mind, including how to avoid the protection of officials and officials, how to avoid the occurrence of false accusations, anyway, as long as Gao Ye has carefully considered it, he has taken it out one by one and let everyone discuss. This deliberation was three full days. Finally, after everyone's heated discussion and as much improvement as possible, Cao Cao announced the start of implementation.

And the person who carried out this was not unexpected, and he was really full of favor for this iron-faced and selfless guy.
