Chapter 256: Cao Mengde's Concession (Asking for Monthly Pass Support)

The Changyi of the moon is particularly vibrant. \\。 qВ5、c0m\

Since the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sanyang County has been extraordinarily peaceful. The war did not affect here, even if Shanyang Taishou Yuan died in Chenggao, it did not arouse too many people's ideas. After all, for the common people, the wars and turmoil have little to do with them, and it is the most important thing to be able to survive in these turbulent years.

In the spring ploughing season, the fields are in full swing.

The green branches and green leaves seem to show people the beautiful scenery of this spring.

From the beginning of February, the wind and rain are smooth.

The people of Shanyang say that this is because they have a good Taishou, a gift from God.

This Taishou is Cao Cao, who has just received an appointment from the imperial court.

Shanyang is close to Pengcheng in the south, Jiyin in the west, east and northeast, close to Lu and Langya, and the geographical location is very important.

Dong Li attacked Shanyang twice, which is still fresh in the memory of many people.

After Cao Cao came to Shanyang, he quickly got in touch with the local clan by virtue of his identity as a native of Shanyang.

However, at this time, the newly appointed Shanyang Taishou is sitting on pins and needles.

In the hall of the Changyi Mansion, a seven-foot-tall scribe with a clear posture sat in the lobby holding a white silk folding fan.

Cao Cao said with a warm smile: "Gongtu, this time you came to my rule, I don't know what advice?" ”

This scribe is the messenger sent by Yuan Shao, Feng Ji.

Feng Ji is a native of Hejian in Jizhou, and he was attached to He Jin in his early years. Later, he became friendly with Yuan Shao.

This time, Yuan Shao killed Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and was busy strengthening his control over the entire Jizhou region. Jizhou is vast, with three counties and six countries under its jurisdiction, and many of them are royal clansmen, and it will take a long time to control them.

And precisely at this time. Xun Zhuo appointed Cao Cao as the Taishou of Shanyang, and suddenly stabbed Yuan Shao's weakness.

Why?

It is the Dongping Kingdom, which is adjacent to Sanyang, although it is nominally self-reliant, but in fact it is in a very awkward position.

To the north of Dongping is Jizhou, and to the southwest, is Hanoi.

It happened to be stuck between the two places, making it impossible for Yuan Shao to connect the two places together.

And Dongping country. It is also under the rule of the state, and it is attached to the rule of Shanyang County. Yuan Shao's foundation in Jizhou was not yet solid, and he did not dare to send troops to Yanzhou, so as not to arouse the disgust of the princes everywhere, and then he would really become the finger of a thousand people.

Yuan Shao knew Cao Cao's ability, so he was suspicious.

Feng Ji once served in the Great General's Mansion with Cao Cao, and they were acquaintances with each other.

Seeing Cao Cao's inquiry, Feng Ji smiled and said, "Meng De, I haven't congratulated you on your appointment as the Taishou of Shanyang...... Hehe, my father-in-law heard that Meng De became the Taishou of Shanyang. I couldn't be happier. said that Meng De was there, and he suddenly became much more relaxed. ”

Cao Cao is not a fool, how can he not hear the antithesis in Feng Ji's words?

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: I have long known that this Shanyang is too guarded, and sure enough...... Before the ass has even sat down, someone is looking for trouble!

If you ask Cao Cao, is he afraid of Yuan Shao?

That's!

Cao Cao was not afraid of Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao occupied most of the land in Jizhou. There are many generals and generals, and the power has increased greatly. And Cao Cao was defeated in Yang, and the men and horses brought from Peiguo lost more than nine of the ten pavilions. Hu Che'er and Cao Hong died in battle, and the mastermind of the drama Zhicai died of illness under the city. If you talk about the princes of the 22nd Road, in addition to those who died in battle, the one with the heaviest casualties was Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao also continued to cut off the opportunity. Got a good reputation.

The princes were very grateful to him, so when Cao Cao returned to Chenliu, Tao Qian and others sent Cao Cao nearly 10,000 horses.

Then according to Xi Zhicai's recommendation, Cao Cao found Guo Jia.

It didn't take much effort. not only recruited Guo Jia under his command, but also Xun Yu was recruited together.

Xun Yu's talent, in Cao Cao's words, is comparable to Xiao He among the four masters of the early Han Dynasty. And Guo Jia became his Zhang Liang.

But even so, Cao Cao didn't have the ability to offend Yuan Shao!

smiled at the moment: "Gongtu said that he laughed." When I first came to Shanyang, I was not familiar with everything, but I knew that there were many rogues in Shanyang County, and I didn't think of a solution, and I had a headache. ”

The implication is to say to Feng Ji: Brother, please tell Yuan Shao that I still have a big mess of my own troubles, and I don't have time to follow Dong Zhuo's orders. So, don't worry, I'm not too busy here to find trouble.

Feng Ji is also a smart person, how can he not hear Cao Cao's intention to back down.

With a roll of his eyes, he smiled and said, "My lord also knows that Meng De, you are doing a lot of things now. It's better to ask my lord to send troops to Dongping. In this way, if you have any trouble, you can take care of it. ”

This is a help, and it is clearly to annex Dongping Kingdom.

If Yuan Shao really stationed troops in Dongping Kingdom, then Cao Cao's trouble would really be a big deal.

There is a tiger sleeping soundly in front of your house, how can you settle down? But Cao Cao also knew that if he refused......

Narrowing slightly, Cao Cao laughed.

"The public plan is very good, in my opinion, it is done. With the help of the beginning, Shanyang is worry-free! ”

Feng Ji smiled, "In that case, I will convey Meng De's meaning to my father-in-law." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Feng Ji got up to say goodbye.

Cao Cao then summoned everyone under his command to come to the council hall to discuss things.

told the matter of Feng Ji just now, which made all the generals under Cao Cao jump like thunder one by one, and they were furious.

Now the generals under Cao Cao are also full of talents.

Although Xiahoudun injured one eye, after treatment, it was not a big problem, on the contrary, he became more calm, and even his martial arts seemed to have improved by one level. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are Cao Cao's cronies, and Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin and the newly joined Yu Ban are also loyal. In particular, Cao Ren also recruited a capable person of his own clan for Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao even happier.

This person's name is Cao Chun, who is good at military affairs, although he is not as brave as Xiahou and Xu Chu, but he is no worse than Li Dianlejin.

Furthermore. Under Yangcheng, although Cao Cao was defeated, he received a general.

That is Donglai County Ditai Shi Ci

It's Kong Rong's subordinate. Because of his admiration for Cao Cao's high righteousness, after the first battle of Yang, he was under the command of Cao Di.

Xu Chu said angrily: "Lord." Why did you agree to Yuan Shao's march into Dongping? Yuan Shao is incompetent, tired of the defeat of our army, and now he is bullying the door, and if he doesn't kill this person, it will be difficult to dispel my heart. ”

Cao Cao ignored Xu Chu, but looked at the scribe on the side.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng, and Yi have now formed a think tank under Cao Cao.

Guo Jia smiled, and Xun Yu remained silent. The rest of the people also had thoughtful expressions and didn't say a word.

"What do you think of Bong Hyo?"

Guo Jia shook off the silk fan, his demeanor was outstanding, and he smiled indifferently: "The lord has already made a decision, why do you need to ask me again?" ”

"Guo Fengxiao, what is your attitude? Yuan Benchu occupied Dongping, aren't you worried? ”

Xu Chu was a loud voice, pointing at Guo Jia and shouting.

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, don't be rude. ”

Guo Jia and Xun Yu glanced at each other. Then he said: "Yuan Shao is a scheming and indecisive person, and he is extremely vain. The lord has been friends with him for a long time, and he must also know Yuan Shao very well. If this person can run rampant for a while, sooner or later he will fall. The lord is taking retreat as a strategy to advance and avoid the edge for the time being. Even if the lord agrees with Yuan Shaotun to Dongping. thinks about Yuan Shao, but it won't be like this. ”

Xu Chuhuan's eyes widened, "Why?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord is now quite prestigious in the four states of Qing, Yan, Yu and Xu. If Yuan Shao really did this, he was afraid that the princes would not agree. His foundation in Jizhou is not yet stable, how dare he provoke the princes? Look, he will not send troops to Dongping, but on the contrary, he will try to make friends with us...... Dongping country. Hehe, it's a forbidden place. ”

Xiahou Yuan listened attentively, pondered for a while, and understood what Xun Yu meant.

"Not bad. Dongping Kingdom is a forbidden land, not only Yuan Shao can't move, but we can't occupy it. ”

After that, he looked at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, but in this case, is it possible that we will be trapped in this Shanyang County?" ”

It is obvious that the generals do not trust Guo Jia.

is too young, if it weren't for the person designated by Xi Zhicai on his deathbed, I'm afraid that no one would agree with him as Cao Cao's mastermind.

Guo Jia could naturally hear the meaning of the school examination in Xiahou Yuan's words.

He got up and ordered someone to present the map, and then gently shook the folding fan, pointed to the places on the map, and said: "Shanyang is the land of the four wars, although the land is fertile, it is not suitable for our current development. Therefore, for the time being, you can't offend Yuan Shao, and you have to show weakness to him. To the northeast, is the country of Lu; To the east is the country of Langya, and to the south, is the country of Pengcheng. These three places can give us enough room for development...... The top priority is to get these three places in hand, especially Peng Chengguo. In this way, it can be connected with Peiguo and Chen Liu, so that it can enter Xu and Henan in the future. ”

"But Pengcheng belongs to Xuzhou, can we turn against Tao Qian?"

Guo Jia smiled: "Naturally not, we don't have the qualifications to turn against Tao Qian now." I have a plan to make Qing and Yan all fall into the hands of the lord, and at the same time let Tao Qian beg us to enter Pengcheng, so that we can open the door to Xuzhou. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What is Fengxiao's plan, tell me quickly!" ”

"Does the lord know that he is full of favors?"

"Full of favors?" Cao Cao was stunned, nodded and said, "But is that just full of Berning? I've heard of this person...... It seems that he is also from Shanyang, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he disappeared. Bong Hyo, why did you suddenly mention this Man Boning? ”

"Because if the lord wants to occupy Qingzhou, he must borrow the hand of this person."

Yi is also a native of Shanyang, so he naturally knows a lot about Manpet.

"Feng Xiao, do you know the whereabouts of Man Boning?"

"Do you remember when we met in Yang? After Wen Ruo and Changwen left Yangyang, I traveled to Jizhou. I was very surprised to meet Man Boning...... However, he is not very proud now, and he is mixed with the remnants of Taiping Dao. ”

Yi Yuan lost his voice and said: "How could Man Boning get mixed up with Taiping Dao? ”

Guo Jia sighed: "That's a long time." I also have to start with when my little junior brother turned to Qingxu. At the beginning, in order to cover the teacher's entry into Yang, he attacked Shanyang Taiping Road for the second time, and inadvertently killed Man Boning's parents and family...... In a fit of anger, he took refuge in Taiping Dao and vowed to seek revenge on Dong Xiping. It's a pity that Zhang Jiao lost, and Manzhong became a sinner, and Guan Hai, the leader of Taiping Dao, led the men and horses to escape into Black Mountain to hide. ”

Mention Dong Lidi's name. The faces of the four Xiahoudun in this hall were flushed.

I think that the four of them failed to defeat Dong Yan when they joined forces, and they also made Xiahoudun a one-eyed dragon in plain terms, which is a great shame.

On weekdays, Xu Chu and others try to avoid talking about Dong Li, so as not to stimulate Xiahoudun.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Chu Xiahou Yuan has always been hostile to Guo Jia, after all, he is Xun Li's senior brother.

Xiahoudun's cheeks twitched for a moment. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"What are you doing here? If you lose, you lose, not to mention losing to the tiger and wolf general, it's not a shame. I waited for this time to lose, at least he was still alive, and he could continue to work hard, and he would seek revenge on Dong Xiping every day. Feng filial piety, don't scruple, just say it. Although Lao Tzu can't beat that Xun Xiping. But it's not a character who can't afford to lose. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao nodded again and again.

At least, Yuan Rang has untied that knot in his heart, and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Tai Shi Ci stood up and arched his hand towards Guo Jiayi, "Mr. Fengxiao, I was rude earlier, don't blame me!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand, "It's all about serving the lord, you don't need to worry about it." It's just my little junior brother......"

Speaking of which. Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little low, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Fengxiao, I just said that it was full of Boning, let's continue." ”

Xun Yu saw that Guo Jia was reluctant to speak, so he immediately spoke: "Man Pet is not very happy with the current situation. Especially when Yuan Shao was defeated, the condition of the Montenegrin army was very bad. Yuan Shao was in charge of Jizhou. It will definitely suppress the Montenegrin Army again...... At that time, their space will be smaller and smaller, why doesn't the lord take the opportunity to recruit the Montenegrin army

Gotta a tiger general. ”

Cao Cao frowned, "Wen Ruo means ......"

"It's not my idea, it's a filial piety plan. You can send one person to Jizhou secretly to meet with Manchu. Then let him lead the Montenegrin army from Jizhou to attack Qingzhou. As a result, Qingzhou will inevitably be in chaos. When the time comes, he will ask the lord to send troops to help. Take this opportunity to swallow Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and the lord occupies Qingyan. It can deter Xuzhou, peep into Yuzhou, and deter the division...... In less than ten years, the lord will be full-fledged, and the Han dynasty will be revived in the near future. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he asked softly, "I wonder who can convince Manzhong?" ”

Yi Yuan stepped forward, "I have not made an inch of achievements since I served under the main account. It just so happens that I am a fellow villager with Manchu, and I am willing to go to Jizhou to persuade him. ”

"I'm naturally relieved. It's just that Jizhou is now in turmoil......"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Ziyi, I ask you to bring a team of men and horses to cover Jibo's journey to Jizhou, and be sure to ensure that Jibo is thorough." ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he got up and gave his hand, "Tai Shi Ci will not fail in his mission." ”

"That Xuzhou ......"

Cao Chun stood up and said, "Lord, this matter is not difficult. I am willing to lead a group of men and horses, pretend to be rogues, and attack Pengcheng. ”

Cao Cao nodded again and again and agreed to Cao Chundi's request.

But there are still some regrets in my heart. Ever since he saw the power of Dong Feng's troll heavy cavalry, he thought about forming the same team. Cao Chun is good at military affairs and is the best candidate. It's a pity that Kaoru is very careful about the situation of the trolls. Although Cao Cao spent a lot of money, he was never able to find out the news of the armor and riding equipment.

It would also be beneficial to let Cao Chun go out to practice.

Cao Cao and the others discussed other matters, and at this time, someone came to report, and the spies sent to Yang had something important to report.

"Lord Qiqi, news from Yang!"

The person who came to report was Cao Cao, who was newly recruited from Chen Liupingqiu. This person is recommended by Cheng, known as the name of Qing Ke and elegant, calm and not flustered. Therefore, Cao Cao appointed this person to be engaged in by his side.

But when this Mao Jue came in, he didn't see any calmness.

With a stack of papers in his hand, he staggered into the meeting hall.

Cao Cao's face sank, "Xiaoxian, what's the alarm?" ”

"My lord, this is news from the sun...... A list of texts, it is said that Dong Xiping spoke in the court, and there is also a strategy, which is also Dong Xiping's letter to the court, called Pingliu Sance. The stakes are very high, so please forgive me. ”

"Bring it on!"

Cao Cao took the document from Mao Jue's hand, first picked up the three strategies of the stracing, and read it carefully.

His face kept changing, and after a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "I said that Dong Xiping is only through military affairs, but I didn't expect ......"

"What's the matter with the Lord?"

Looking at Cao Cao's appearance, everyone had a premonition.

Xun Yu took over the three strategies from Cao Cao's hand, glanced at them hurriedly, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Dong Xiping, do you have this insight?"

Xun Yu's face turned pale, and he felt a panic in his heart.

"Wen Ruo, ...... you are"

"This Tuntian strategy, this Tuntian strategy......" Xun Yu suddenly stood up, turned around and ran out of the hall. Even though Cao Cao and others shouted, Xun Yu did not agree. After Guo Jia saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked, subconsciously glanced at everyone, then closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Why is Guo Jia so expressional?

The three strategies of the stratosphere can actually be applied to various places.

Earlier, Xun Yu was still thinking about how to appease the displaced people in Shanyang.

He Cheng and Guo Jia thought hard for a long time, and only yesterday came up with the method of tuntiandi. The specific charter has just been drafted, but I didn't expect that there is already a more perfect way to do it. In particular, the cash-for-work was undoubtedly an ideological breakthrough for the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's not that Xun Yu is incompetent, but they don't think about this aspect at all.

Guo Jia handed the three strategies to Cheng ......

"Lord, what's on the list?"

At this moment, Cao Cao's face was pale, like a blank piece of paper, without any blood.

He held the list, his hands kept trembling, and his heart was even colder.

Talent Hunting!

only seek its ability, not its virtue; I can use all of them......

This sentence definitely touched the most fragile heartstring in Cao Cao's heart. Suddenly, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.

The smile is extraordinarily happy.

The more I laughed, the happier I became, laughing so much that tears flowed out, and everyone present looked at each other one by one.

"Dong Xiping, who knows me, Dong Xiping, ......"

Cao Cao said, threw the list to Guo Jia, and then looked at Mao Jue and said, "I heard that Wu Zhonghou took a concubine, I don't know when?" ”

Mao Jue didn't understand why Cao Cao suddenly asked about this, and even changed his title.

thinks that at the beginning, Dong Li killed Cao Cao's own brother, although there are no eyes on the battlefield, no wonder no one. But in Cao Cao's heart, there was always a faint resentment. Therefore, he never called Dong Li's title, but called him his cousin. Unexpectedly, after reading the list, even the title has changed, which is really a bit weird.

Mao Jue said softly: "Lord Qiqi, according to the report of the spies, Marquis Wu Zhong will marry in seven days. ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Zhong Kang, go to Madame, and say that I want the Tai'a Sword that I bought with a lot of money some time ago." ”

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu was also the second monk who was confused, and left in a hurry, and after a while, he came back with an ancient sword.

Cao Cao stroked the sword box, and after a moment of silence, he reluctantly handed it to Mao Jue.

"Xiaoxian, send someone with this sword, hurry to Yang, be sure to present it before the wedding of Marquis Wu Zhong. You let people tell Wu Zhonghou that he killed Zilian, and I vow not to forgive him; But Cao Mengde and Dong Xiping became confidants in the end. ”
