Although Cao Ying used a deliberative tone, he could feel that he seemed to have made a decision.

In my mind, the words that Li Ru said after returning once again came to mind: If Cao Gong makes a request, he must not hesitate and agree to say it.

At first glance, this may not sound like a good idea.

But in fact, the strategies offered by the strategists and planners are often to figure out people's surnames and talk about a few words that go straight to the core.

seems to Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten defeats, which belongs to the overall plan, and cannot be discussed idly. For example, later generations said that Jia Xu died with one word, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing profound. If it is replaced by the straightforward remarks of later generations, it is nothing more than this: we are a death anyway, we may win if we fight, and it doesn't matter if we lose. So Li Dao Guo Yan gathered troops and horses, besieged Chang'an, and redeemed the defeat.

The real strategy is to say the right words at the right time, in the right place...... But how easy is it to do this?

Therefore, a word is used to prosper the country, and a word is used to destroy the country.

The same words, at different times and on different occasions, will produce different effects.

Li Ru's reminder is actually based on Cao Ying's surname. He was no stranger to Cao Ying, and even studied it carefully.

At least when the princes of the Twenty-second Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Yingke was almost killed by Li Ru's design.

Send people to suppress the formation, and then ambush the ...... It's a strategy anyone can come up with.

But it was such a strategy that almost wiped out Cao Ying's army, and if it weren't for Cao Hong's desperate cover, he might even die on the battlefield.

Cao Peng said: "If the father transfers his brother back, the nephew thinks that Buqi can succeed him." ”

"Buqi?"

Cao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, since Cao Peng said the replacement, it showed that he was open-minded.

It's just that which one is this step?

"Buqi Zishan, a member of the Huaiyin Bu clan.

In the second year of Jian'an, after his nephew and brother went to Haixi, Chen Deng Taishou recommended three people, one named Wei Jing, because he was unruly and unwilling to help his brother, so he was scolded by me, and later went to Jiangdong, and his whereabouts are unknown; One is Dai Qian, who was the hero who burned Hailing with Wang Xu and burned Zu Lang to death. This person's surname is strong and loyal, but it's a pity...... The third is Buqi Buzi Mountain.

He is now a salt desecration chief, and he also participated in the battle of Guangling this spring.

Buqi has been with me the longest, and he is cautious and talented. If my father asks me who can replace me, I would prefer Buzi Mountain. ”

Cao Ying originally just asked, and didn't expect Cao Peng to really recommend any characters.

Who knows...... Cao Ying smiled, "Ah Fu, in the city of Xudu, there are many famous people and countless talented people, why do you attach so much importance to this step?" ”

Can I tell you that Buqi has been the prime minister of Soochow in history?

Cao Peng also smiled, "There are as many celebrities in Xudu City as clouds as there are carp crossing the river. But there's a problem, I don't know them......"

"Huh?"

"Besides, Buzishan's cousin is the maid by my side, and my understanding of Buqi is far better than others."

Cao Ying's face sank, "Ah Fu, don't you know how to avoid relatives?" ”

"Since you are a virtuous person, why do you want to avoid relatives? Bu Qi is obviously the most suitable candidate, why should I avoid suspicion? ”

If someone else said such a thing, Cao Ying might be very unhappy. But when Cao Peng said such words, Cao Ying felt very happy. This shows that Cao Peng doesn't have any special ideas, and is dedicated to sharing his worries about doing things...... "Then tell me, how is Buqi the most suitable person?" ”

"First, Buqi is a native of Guangling, and since the second year of Jian'an, he has been in Haixi, and he is very familiar with Haixi."

"Well, that makes sense."

Second, after my brother gained a foothold in Haixi, he benefited from the two of them.

One is near Yilu Changpu Yanghong, and the other is Buqi. Whether it was to pacify Haixi, rectify the commercial market, and implement Tuntian, Buqi participated in the initial planning. If you say that you know the situation in Haixi best, in addition to your brother, you are Buqi and Puyang Min.

Mr. Puyang has only learned people, but he is a little stubborn and his ability to be flexible is not high.

In fact, I have always felt that Mr. Puyang is not suitable for a magistrate. The most suitable position for him should be a doctor of the Five Classics in Taixue, teaching and educating people...... Hehe, don't blame me, my father, I also felt it, and I didn't mean anything else. ”

As early as when Cao Peng left Xuzhou, he knew that Puyang Min's health was not very good.

Haixi is deserted, although it has now become a rich place in Lianghuai, but the environment is still a little bad. In his letter to Cao Peng, Deng Ji mentioned that he hoped to find a position for Puyang Min in Xudu, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace. After all, Puyang Min is also old.

Cao Ying smiled: "Hugh has to be careful, you can continue." ”

Although he was born in a prestigious family, he was poor since he was a child, and he was raised by his aunt, so he was well versed in the sufferings of the people. He knows how to be flexible, and he is more familiar with military affairs. In this regard, he is better than his brother...... Moreover, he is delicate and has the overall situation, which is enough to dominate the party. What the father said is right, there are countless people in Xu Can, but the nephew thinks that the only person who is suitable for the captain of Haixi Tuntian is Buzi Mountain.

In addition, Buzishan succeeded his brother, but the decree was coherent.

Father, as evidence, I am most afraid of changing the order. If Haixi is to continue to develop, it must be renewed. To be honest, I'm worried that if I change to a stranger, the decree will change. To be anxious to establish one's own prestige and establish one's own merits, and to completely negate the efforts of one's predecessor is to abandon years of hard work; In the future, it will make the people confused and overwhelmed. ”

For this point, Cao Peng is impressed.

In the previous life, work experience, this kind of thing that changes overnight is not uncommon.

The previous governor revised the streets, and when the next one came, he thought that this was not his political achievement, so he stopped halfway and chose other projects.

As a result, the construction of the city was chaotic.

When I first entered an avenue, I felt very good, but halfway through, I found that the street had become bumpy, and it was like two things.

This is probably also a very characteristic officialdom phenomenon in later generations.

In Cao Peng's words, when he first entered the glamorous, he lost it...... In peacetime, it can be so messy; But in times of war, this cannot be the case. Like Tuntian, such a national policy, it is more necessary to have a coherent surname.

Cao Ying nodded again and again, showing a satisfied smile.

"What else?"

"Also, I know Buzi Mountain, but I don't know those Xu Neng."

Cao Ying couldn't help laughing, "You kid, but you're a guy who refuses to give in." ”

Cao Peng scratched his head and showed a sincere smile.

—————————————————————————— "Bonghyo, what do you think?" ”

After Cao Peng left, Cao Ying turned his head and whispered outside the pavilion.

From behind the rockery outside the pavilion, a person walked out, it was Guo Jia. Dressed in a thick robe, he walked into the pavilion and sat down with a smile.

"Since the lord has already made a decision, why should he ask me?"

"It's just that I don't understand, why does Wen He recommend Deng Ji? The two of them don't seem to know each other very well. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia Wenhe does have the ability, and he can see through the lord's intentions at a glance. In my opinion, he recommended his uncle and grandson because he wanted to take revenge on Ah Fu. If it weren't for Ah Fu's words, he might have continued to hide and do that obscure thing...... Now, Ah Fu forced him to come out, if he didn't retaliate, how could he be calm?

Haixi, with his uncle and grandson in charge, is nothing. But after a long time, it's not good after all, and if you change someone, in my opinion, it's nothing great. I don't know much about this person in Buzishan, if the lord hesitates, why not order someone to go to Luoyang and ask about the long article? ”

After that, Guo Jia suddenly laughed!

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm wondering, if Ah Fu knew that this matter was planned by Jia Wenhe, how would he react?"

Cao Ying thought about it and smiled...... "That kid is not a master who is easy to suffer. ”

He and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion, and it was almost noon. It was cloudy for a few days, and suddenly the sun was shining, which was a rare good weather.

There are more pedestrians on the street, and they all seem to be busy.

The New Year is approaching, the New Year is coming, the purchase of New Year's goods, the purchase of relatives and friends, the visit to relatives and friends, made Xu Du suddenly become very lively. Although Yuan Shao's essay has spread all over the world. But for the people of Xudu, the text did not make too many waves. Although this year's harvest in Xudu is not as good as last year's, it is not bad. Looking at all over the place, Cao Ying's rule can be regarded as the best. Yuan Shaoyuan is in Hebei, what does it have to do with us? Even if he has enough soldiers, he can help us get a few points...... It can be seen that Cao Ying's governance over the years has been available to the people.

After Cao Peng left Sikong Mansion, he returned home.

first greeted his mother Zhang, then pulled Huang Yueying to talk for a while, and took his little nephew Deng Ai to run around the yard twice.

Deng Ai is almost three years old.

Babbling, 'Uncle' has been called.

Cao Peng became more and more curious, what will Deng Ai be like in the future?

Is he the famous Deng Shizai in history?

Looking at Xiao Deng Ai, who was white and chubby, crawling on the porch, Cao Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: meritocracy is an order...... He seems to have found a suitable candidate!

It's just this person...... After lunch, Cao Peng came to the remote courtyard in the house.

Li Ru was sitting upright on the Buddhist hall, and in the fire pond on the side, the charcoal fire was raging, which made the temperature of the Buddhist hall very high. As soon as he entered the door, Cao Peng felt the heat rushing to his face. Looking at the full pile of coals in the fire pit, Cao Peng couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Mr. Wencheng, as for it?"

"What?"

"Such a small Buddha hall, you make the fire so prosperous."

Li Ru's eyes rolled, "Idle is idle, and I can't go out, so I naturally hope that this room can be warmer." ”

Cao Peng was just joking, but he didn't care about Li Ru's tone.

He pushed open the window to allow the air to flow a little, then sat down and recounted his experience in Sikong Mansion.

"You say, it's so decent, why did Sikong want my brother to come back?"

Li Ru stretched, "What else can it be?" Your brother-in-law has outstanding political achievements and has too much prestige in Haixi, and Meng De is worried.

But you don't have to worry, you handled it well today.

The more open you are, the less Meng De will doubt you. The step you recommend, there is a good chance that ** will replace your brother-in-law...... It's just that Meng De summoned your brother-in-law back, I'm afraid it's not just because he has a deep foundation in Haixi...... Maybe it will be of great use. ”

"What's the use?"

Li Ru let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "This is not for sure.

Maybe stay in Xudu, maybe let the ruling party go. He has the qualifications of Haixi, plus your father and son, there should be no problem. ”

Cao Peng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Counting up, Deng Ji has been in Haixi for more than two years.

With the development of Hercynian Province, it has become a piece of fat meat coveted by many people.

If you continue to let Deng Ji stay there, there will indeed be trouble. However, Haixi is now Cao Peng's most important asset.

In the past two years, the Nine Great Guilds have earned him a lot of benefits.

In these days, land and people are the most important.

But if you don't have money, you can't do anything.

This is another reason why Cao Peng highly recommends Buqi to Cao Ying.

As long as the steps are there, you can ensure a continuous flow of money. But I'm afraid it won't work with just one step...... Haixi's profits are too great to swallow alone. The best way to do this is to share benefits. But with whom do you choose?

This, again, is a big problem.

If you don't choose the right partner, it will inevitably cause big trouble.

This person must have a close relationship with Cao Ying, but the authority cannot be too heavy, and it can be controlled...... So, who should you choose?

Cao Hong?

Cao Ren?

Or is it Xiahou's son?

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering with whom I should govern Hercy."

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his ugly face.

However, his smile was even more ugly than when he didn't. He stroked his palm lightly and nodded repeatedly.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Li Ru sighed lightly and said, "It's a good thing that the son is thoughtful.

Just now, I was just about to talk to Childe about this. Hercy is too big, and it is impossible for you to swallow him completely by yourself. ”

"Oh?"

"I have to share it with someone, but this person ...... the choice" Li Ru suddenly smiled and said softly: "I have been thinking about Cao Ying these days." I have a candidate, I don't know what Childe thinks. However, this candidate may not be easy to woo. ”

"Who?"

"Mrs. Huan, how's it going?"

Cao Peng raised his head suddenly and looked at Li Ru blankly.

"Do you know that Mrs. Huan has a body again?"

"So what?"

"How?" Li Ru smiled, "Cao Mengde is as lustful as his life, but Mrs. Huan has a body, what does this mean?" Mrs. Ring is the most favored. Today, Sikong Mansion is headed by Mrs. Bian and is concerned by many people. And the son Cao Pi, now the eldest son of Cao Mengde, naturally attracts more attention. Mrs. Huan now has only one son under her knees, and her surname is low-key. Her clan was not prosperous, and although several of her children worked for Cao Gong, they had no talent. Speaking of which, she is the weakest ...... Exactly in alliance with it. ”

"Oh?"

"Why did Zhang Xiu belong to Cao Gong?

Because he knows that defecting to Yuan Shao, in your words, is called the icing on the cake; Can it be attached to Cao Mengde? It's really a charcoal in the snow. ”

Cao Peng heard this and nodded slightly.

"Today's Mrs. Bian is just like Yuan Shao.

The prince grew up to be honest and benevolent, although Cao Ying fought and was quite talented. There are countless people who are good friends with them, how do you care about your family? And Mrs. Huan is now Cao Mengde. If you help her now, if she can succeed in the future, she will definitely remember your love and righteousness today. ”

"I see!"

Cao Peng bowed his head and smiled.

He began to rejoice that he had listened to Kan Ze's persuasion and kept Li Ru.

This is a big killer...... With his secret help, at least he can save himself ten years of struggle.

"Sir, do you also think that Cao Gong will win?"

"If he doesn't win, you'll be miserable."

Li Ru got up with a smile and slowly walked out of the Buddhist hall.

Cao Peng sat in the Buddha hall and looked up at the Buddha statues enshrined in the Buddha hall. He suddenly felt a burst of emotion and pious saluted in front of the Buddha statue.

Buddha bless, Cao Gong will win!

——————————————————————————————————The afternoon sun is very warm, and it feels very comfortable to shine on people's bodies.

Taking advantage of this rare leisure, Cao Peng lay on the porch, his head resting on Huang Yueying's legs, looking at the clouds in the sky.

"Yueying, a long letter said that Mr. Chen has sent someone to Jiangxia."

"Huh?"

"He's going to ask for my wife."

Huang Yueying's face turned red all of a sudden.

Like a mosquito snorting, it snorted.

In fact, she was also worried about this matter, staying in the Cao family, although Cao Ji and the Zhang family both recognized her, but after all, she had no reputation. Unless she's really desperate and doesn't even care about her family...... But for Huang Yueying, who is full of poetry and books, it is really a bit difficult.

Chen Ji is the patriarch of the Yingchuan Chen clan and the grandson of Chen Yu.

In terms of family and reputation, they are far higher than Huang's. If Huang Chengyan doesn't want to really turn against the Yingchuan clan, then there is a good chance that he will nod and admit it.

"By the way, a few days ago, a person named Wei Yan came to you."

"Oh?"

"He said that he lived in Xudu Guanyi during this period, and asked you to find him when you come back."

Cao Peng then remembered that Wei Yan should indeed stay in Xu Capital at this time. Cao Zhen had mentioned it to him, but for various reasons, he missed it before...... Wei Yan came to Xudu this time, and I am afraid that he can at least test the position of the captain. Cao Zhen said before that Cao Ying intended to make Wei Yan the captain of the school. But in Cao Peng's view, this is not easy. Captain Dangkou, fake two thousand stone rank. It's not that Wei Yan is not qualified, but his qualifications are still a little shallow...... If you can mix it up for a few more years, it's really possible.

However, inspecting the captain is also the duty of a thousand stones.

Cao Ji is now a real thousand stones, just one level higher than the inspection captain.

It is also a good choice to be able to test the captain, at least to lead an army alone.

Cao Peng hurriedly sat up and thought for a while, "Then I'll go over and visit now...... It's been almost three years since I said goodbye to Brother Wei. ”

"Well, then I'll tell my mother that I won't cook your food at night."

With such a sensible confidante, what more can a husband ask for?

Cao Peng hurriedly entered the house and changed his clothes.

Who knows, he was just about to go out, but he saw Deng Juye running over and blocked his way, "Youxue, someone from the Jinwu Yamen is here, let you go and report." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this......
