Chapter 218 Reveal the Hidden Secret

With Cao Cao's "dismissal", the participants began to leave the venue after being stunned. At this time, Cao Cao added: "Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Mao Jue, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, a few of you stay." ”

Soon, the people in the venue left one after another, leaving only the few people named by Cao Cao, and even the armor soldiers were blasted out of the hall. And Cao Hong saw that there was no one else around, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Cao Cao again: "Lord, then Lu Ren ......"

"You still say!" Since there were no outsiders, Cao Cao didn't suppress his anger anymore, and with a flick of his hand, he smashed Jian Chun on the desk on Cao Hong's body: "Do you think I don't know that you are a communiqué personal vendetta?" It's been a year, it's been almost a year, Lu Ren killed a few of your illegal guests, do you still remember!? ”

Mao Jue frowned, took two steps forward and said, "Duke Ming, although Doctor Cao is suspected of communiqué personal vendetta, Lu Ren is indeed guilty. And the right person is in court ......"

Cao Cao waved his hand to Mao Jue and said: "Xiaoxian, you have always been strict with the law and discipline, you have not done anything wrong today, I don't blame you." But now Gu wants to tell you why Shicai Gu let Yihao go. ”

Saying that, Cao Cao glanced at Cao Hong, but the fire in his heart rose again, and he smashed another roll of Jane Chun on Cao Hong's body with his backhand, so that Cao Hong didn't even dare to say a word. Looking at Cao Cao angrily, he waved his hand and said, "Xun Yu, tell them!" lest they be endless! ”

Xun Yu shook his head and sighed again, ignoring Cao Hong, but said to Mao Jue: "Xiaoxian, do you know how much high-quality iron Lu Yihao trafficked to Xu Du last year?" ”

Mao Yu thought that Xun Yu was inquiring about the case, so he responded casually: "It's been a long time, and many things can't be traced. However, according to what was traced below, Lu Ren also trafficked at least 5,000 catties of iron goods into Xu. ”

Xun Yu sighed again and said, "Five thousand catties? It sounds like a lot, enough to build 3,000 heads, but I want to tell you, Lu Ren got 30,000 catties of iron, enough to make 10,000 heads, or 8,000 high-grade knives, 15,000 spear tips, and more than 100,000 arrowheads! ”

Mao Jue was stunned at the time, but Cao Hong didn't react, so his face was happy: "30,000 catties? Wouldn't Lu Ren's sin be even heavier......"

With a snap, this is Cao Cao's third volume, and Jian Chun smashed into Cao Hong's body: "You still don't shut up for me!" ”

Cao Hong was stunned, and although Cao Ren helped Cao Hong out, he was an outsider after all and "clear", and at this time he already felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held Cao Hong, lest Cao Hong be angry again.

Mao Yu on the other end is not a stupid person, after listening to Xun Yu's words, he realized that there must be some inside story here, so he immediately asked Xun Yu: "What is the secret in this?" ”

Xun Yu sighed again: "Xiaoxian, you are clear about the law and discipline, and today is indeed out of public intentions, I can't blame you for anything." But why are you so confused? Why don't you want to think about it, when Yihao and Zilian were fighting, people would rather abandon their swords and kill the war horse than do anything to Zilian in anger. With such a heart, where can a person have the heart to seek personal gain?

"I'll tell you the truth. At the beginning of autumn last year, there was a shortage of iron goods in Xudu, not only for civilian use, but also for the government treasury and official iron. At that time, if you don't try to solve it, you are afraid that you will have no weapons and tools, and there will be no farming and hoes. I had nothing to do after the urgent report of Deziyang (Liu Ye's words), but I reported the mentality of giving it a try to find Yihao to discuss, and later it was Yihao who managed to buy back a large number of iron goods from Hebei to solve this urgent need. ”

Mao Jue was stunned again: "Is it Mr. Xun that you sent Lu Ren to buy iron?" Wait, he bought the iron from Hebei? That ......"

Xun Yu nodded, he knew that with Mao Jue's knowledge, he should have figured out the key point in this, but after looking at Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were still a little puzzled on the side, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better to explain the matter to these two people, so he continued: "You all know that Ming Gong and Yuan Shao have long been at odds with each other, Yuan Shao will never sit idly by and watch Ming Gong's army grow, and will naturally instruct his rule not to traffic copper and iron to the territory of Ming Gong, which is intended to make it difficult for Ming Gong to reorganize his armor." Under such circumstances, Yihao could only secretly buy it back in the name of borrowing private iron. The purpose of issuing a duty-free order is to prevent the goods from being inspected along the way, so as not to leak out. And the many joints in it, do you know how troublesome it is? It's been all done with great difficulty, but it's all ruined by your trouble!

"Here I also want to say a few words for Yihao. Xiaoxian, why don't you want to think about it, with Yihao's carefree and indifferent heart, would he take such a risk for money? Selling smuggled iron to avoid taxes? He takes out most of his money every month for the young to eat, and he himself is greedy except for being greedy and likes to make a few beautiful clothes for his family, what is he greedy for? What does he want so much money for? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mao Jue was already ashamed in surprise, and Cao Ren and Cao Hongke were dumbfounded.

Xun Yu finally turned his head to Cao Ren and Cao Hong at this time: "The two generals are both good generals, but they don't know how difficult it is to accumulate money, grain, salt and iron in the rear!" In the next only way, if the soldiers have no weapons, what is the difference between them and the tigers and wolves without minions? When you are out on a campaign, do you let your subordinates fight the enemy with only ordinary sticks? If that were the case, how many soldiers would die in vain? ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Cao couldn't help but interject at this time: "Zixiao, Zilian, you are all Lone's relatives, Zilian, you are even more kind to Lone, Lone should not have scolded you like this, but now Lone will say a few words to you." Why is Lone more important than Yihao? It is because of the talent in his chest that he can make Gu no longer have to worry about money, food, salt and iron!

"The Qin people are in a hurry to conquer the world, if they are lonely and have abundant money and food, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, why worry about the uncertain world!? I didn't care about him when I thought about Gu Chu, but Wen Ruo repeatedly compared Gu Yan and Yi Hao to Xiao He. What is the result, you have also seen, how much grain did you get when you went to Qiuxu? More than 170,000 hundred! Within two years, there is a requisition, and there is no worry about food and grass! How can such talents not be reused?

"Don't say that he was wronged this time, even if he really trafficked smuggled iron and evaded some taxes, as long as he didn't go too far, Lone would tolerate it! Such wise men are lonely and reused, but they never thought that at this time it would be you who would poke this matter out! It's okay if it's just that you secretly report to Lone, and Lone secretly explains it to you, but you ...... Why don't you give me a lecture first, and you want to play in front of so many people!? You say, "How is it good to be lonely now?" Kill Lu Ren!? ”

Cao Cao was really angry: "You guys, you really caused a lot of trouble for Gu!" Zixiao, filial piety, you are just for the sake of the law and discipline, you don't blame you, you only scold Zilian. You are bent on taking revenge on Yihao, and you are afraid that Gu will tolerate him, so you will ask Xiao Xian to play Yu Gu in front of everyone today, Zilian, do you think Gu can't see it! Lone really wants to push you out and cut you out now! It's too unscrupulous to do things!

"30,000 catties of high-grade iron, how many lances can be made from this? And this is just the beginning, if you can buy back so much iron from Yuan Shao every year, how much can you save here? But now it's good, being troubled by you, can this iron still be bought? Zilian, your family is very rich, so you can buy it back for Lone!? ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong's backs were covered in cold sweat.

Guo Jia didn't speak, but at this time he finally spoke: "It may be a trivial matter that you can't buy iron to fill your armaments." This kind of thing, Yihao, this kid has always been very methodical, as long as he is there, he is not afraid that he will not be able to solve it. But...... Two generals, do you know that although Yihao is serving under the account of Ming Gong, he has always wanted to resign and return to his hometown? In order to keep him, the lord has already put a lot of thought into it, but now that it's good, he will directly let you drive him away. ”

It's okay not to say it, when he said this, Cao Cao's anger suddenly came up again. This is Jian Chun on the desk who threw it away just now, otherwise Cao Hong would have to take a beat.

But Guo Jia was still adding fuel to the fire at this time: "You might as well think about it, since Yihao asked for Tuntian, has the lord ever worried about the grain and grass again?" When Xu Du was newly built, it was Yi Hao who collected it in Puyang Tuntian and sent it to Xu Du for use, so that there was never a shortage of money and food. With him behind him to help the lord and the generals to store grain in the fields, the lord and the generals will have no worries when they are fighting, but now, what ......?"

Cao Hong didn't dare to speak, but Cao Ren hesitated: "This ...... I am willing to invite Mr. Lu back. ”

"!" Cao Cao was angry: "Thanks to the two of you, Yihao was dismissed because of his sin, and finally left with hatred." With so many people watching just now, and the matter is so big, how can he be easily reinstated? When it is preached, has it not become a lonely person, but it has become a deception to the public? Looking back, everyone will say that the law is unclear and people's hearts are scattered! If people's hearts are scattered, what big things will Lone do!? ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's not that the land can't be planted without Yihao, just choose someone else to replace it, at most, it is just that Yihao can plant so well." But what would it be like for such a virtuous man to leave with hatred in his hand today, if he was cast under the other candidates? I have to remind you that this kid Yihao doesn't only farm the land, and the insight in his chest is also quite outstanding. Moreover, he has been under the command of the lord for a long time, and although he cannot be said to know everything about the military and political affairs of the lord, he also knows very well. If he turns to the lord's sworn enemy in a fit of rage......"

Everyone's faces changed at that time, and Cao Cao said to Guo Jia uncertainly: "Fengxiao, you are persuading the orphan to ...... Yihao"

Guo Jia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I mean." And to be honest, the lord has forgotten some of the things that Yihao has experienced? For example, in the original battle of Puyang, we all thought that Yihao would die, but isn't Yihao alive and well now? To say something ugly, if you want to kill him, you may not be able to kill him, and once you do it to him, it will only really force him to go against the lord, which is unwise. And in the next view, the current situation is not without room for recovery. ”

(Lao Lu still lost his official, and some people will say that he is very abusive, hehe.) Shameless asking for tickets, asking for collections, asking for recommendations! )
