Jia Xu has a problem!

After leaving the world downstairs and returning home, Cao Peng reacted that Jia Xu came to him today and said those words, I am afraid that he had ulterior motives. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Cheng Yu wants to ask for the throne for Cao Cao? This kind of thing doesn't seem to need to be sneaky and run alone to inform yourself. If Cheng Yu really wants to do this, it is likely that he will return to Xudu, and after visiting one by one, he will directly propose it at the court meeting, and he will naturally be able to see a difference......

But Jia Xu, why did he find himself alone and talk about this matter?

The Three Kingdoms, an iron horse Jingo, is also an era of deceit.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of people in this era, most of the time, there will be a different intention hidden in an ordinary behavior.

Jia Xu, what does it mean?

Do you want to make yourself stand out?

Cao Peng's reputation is already stinky!

If you jump out at this time, when you are a bird, I am afraid that it will attract the rebuke of the world.

Even those old gentlemen from the Fuxishan Academy would not stand on his side, and even scolded him.

Didn't Jia Xumo want to harm himself?

This matter haunted him in his heart, and some of them lingered.

When he got home, Cao Peng didn't even want to eat, so he went into the study and never came out.

Cao Nan is pregnant and will return to Xingyang to recuperate in the near future.

This is also the second time that Cao Nan has been pregnant since Deng Ai, so the Cao family also attaches great importance to it.

Originally, Cao Nan could return to Xudu.

But the tense atmosphere in Xu Du was not suitable for pregnant women, so in the end Xingyang was chosen. At this time, Xingyang, although it is a little cold, but the environment is excellent. After learning the news of Cao Nan's return to Xingyang, the old lady could no longer stay in Xudu. On Cao Peng's side, there is nothing left, so you can rest assured.

Son and daughter, although the old lady still loves her son more, she also cares about her daughter.

Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen stayed in Xudu.

However, Zhen Mi, Buluan, Guo Huan, and Sun Shangxiang will go to Xingyang.

Cai Yan also stayed in Xingyang, but Cao Mei, that is, Cai Mei before, and Ah Mei went to Xingyang. In short, the Marquis Mansion of Xinwu Pavilion was suddenly much deserted, and it was no longer as lively and noisy as before.

Several children stayed in Xudu.

After all, I rarely spend time with my father, and it is a rare opportunity.

Seeing that Cao Peng didn't show up, Cai Yan and the others knew that he was in trouble.

So Cai Yan and Huang Yueying Xiahou Zhen ordered someone to prepare wine and food and sent them to the study. When I opened the door, I saw Cao Peng leaning back on the Taishi chair, holding his head in his hands, his eyes staring directly at the ceiling, thinking about his thoughts.

"Ah Fu, what's wrong?"

Cao Peng sat down, and when he saw that it was Cai Yan and the others, he rubbed his face and showed a bitter smile.

"Today, the old viper came looking for me."

Old viper?

Cai Yan didn't react, but Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen knew who Cao Peng was talking about. Of course, this also has something to do with Cai Yan's entry into Cao's Mansion not long after. It seems that Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen have accompanied Cao Peng to live in Nanyang for a long time. At that time, Cao Peng and Jia Xu were partners, and the names between the two were naturally very familiar.

"It's Jia Taizhong."

"Uh......"

Cai Yan was speechless for a moment.

Cao Peng sighed, sat up straight, and said the words Jia Xu and him as they were.

"What does the husband think?"

Although Xiahou Zhen is naïve, she is not the little white rabbit sister back then. Some things, she can still see the seriousness.

There are good and bad things about this matter.

The good thing is that if Cao Cao is crowned king, Cao Peng will be the first to act; The bad thing is that in this way, Yu Caopeng's reputation is even worse.

Anyway, there are pros and cons, it's hard to say clearly.

However, Cai Yan pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "In my opinion, Jia Taizhong may not want you to come forward, but hopes that you can avoid this matter and stay out of it." ”

"Oh?"

"My husband's reputation is loud enough, and his credit is big enough.

There are already faint signs of the first arm help by the prime minister's side, and according to the concubine's body, it is enough. As the saying goes, it's too much. The husband is already in a high position, and if he comes out again, he is afraid that it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. In my opinion, Jia Taizhong's meaning is to ask you to avoid the limelight for the time being and jump out of this matter.

It is estimated that Cheng Zhongde has made up his mind, and may even have informed the prime minister.

In this matter, anyone can come forward, but the husband can't come forward, otherwise, there will be disaster......"

After all, Cai Yan has experienced ups and downs, and he sees things very clearly.

When she said this, Cao Peng suddenly became enlightened. That's right, he can't be involved in it.

As Cai Yan said, he is already in a high position.

He also knows the truth of being too late. Leave three points for everything, and let others do it...... He took the blame for Cao Cao to kill the ambushed family, which was enough. It may not be a good thing to earn money again.

"So what should I do?"

Cao Peng smiled bitterly.

He was in Xudu, and he couldn't avoid this from happening.

Cai Yan and Huang Yueying glanced at each other and smiled slightly, "The husband is actually not more troubled, and although the husband is in Xudu now, as long as the prime minister finds an excuse to leave Xudu before returning, won't he be able to stay out of the matter?"

This kind of thing must not be too difficult for you......"

It's a complicated thing, but in the hands of Cai Yan and them, it has become easy and simple.

Cao Peng suddenly came to his senses, hugged Cai Yan and kissed him fiercely, and then kissed Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen, which made the three girls coquettish for a while.

Either way, at least there was a solution to the matter.

Cao Peng had a great appetite, and after eating, he was even more interested. I wanted to sleep together, but I didn't know that I was kicked out of the bedroom by Cai Yan and the others. In the end, I had to stay in the study and stay up all night.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Cao Peng went straight to the Tingwei Office.

Fa Zheng and the others were talking and chatting in the public room, not wanting Cao Peng to come in in a hurry, so without saying a word, he ordered: "Clean up the recent criminal prison cases in various places, and list the cases that need to be remanded for retrial." Let's work hard, sort it out as soon as possible, I'm going to see it soon, don't delay the time. ”

To be honest, Ting Wei's official duties are not particularly busy.

Criminal and prison cases from all over the country are sent in, reviewed in accordance with Chinese law, and if there are doubts, they are remanded for retrial; If there are no questions, a reply will be sent in the form of an official letter. But Cao Peng's endless order made Fazheng and Deng Zhi a little confused.

"Childe, is there a time limit and geographical restrictions?"

"This ......"

Cao Peng thought for a while, "Just take October last year as the limit, and reorganize the cases after October...... The region is dominated by Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Henan Yin. Sort it out as soon as possible, I'm useful. ”

A word from the boss, the subordinate broke his leg.

With Cao Peng's order, the Tingwei Office began to get busy.

Fortunately, Deng Zhi is correct, Zhang Song and Jiang Wan are all proficient in criminal law, so there is no need for Cao Peng to bother too much.

Two days later, a stack of cases was presented in front of Cao Peng, but Cao Peng was a little overwhelmed.

What he said is only to limit the time after October last year, but in the past few years, the war has been endless, so that the official documents submitted in many places seem to be a little chaotic. That is, the four people of Fazheng, if they change people, they may not be able to sort it out completely. Cao Peng flipped through them one by one, and if he didn't understand something, he asked Deng Zhi.

From hundreds of cases, 50 cases that needed to be retried were selected, and Cao Peng wrote them down one by one.

"Prepare, at the beginning of October, we left Xudu and went to various places to inspect the prison."

"So many places?"

After Deng Zhi looked at Cao Peng's list, he frowned and said with a wry smile: "If you don't have half a load of work, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk." ”

"Ha, just play with the right."

As soon as these words came out, Deng Zhifa and the others immediately understood.

I'm afraid that it's not just to inspect the prison, Cao Peng is going to leave Xu Du this time, I'm afraid he has other intentions. It's just that since Cao Peng didn't say it, they wouldn't ask. In this way, after Cao Peng sorted out the dossier, he submitted it to Jia Xu. Subsequently, Jia Xu did some sorting out again, and sent people to expedite 600 miles and send them to Xiangyang.

At this time, the war in Jingzhou had basically stabilized.

With the continuous stationing of Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Changsha, Cao Cao also knew that it would be difficult to continue this war.

Desperate?

In the end, both sides will inevitably lose, which is not what Cao Cao wants.

In addition, Wen Ping died in battle, Lejin was defeated, and after Xiahou was defeated and returned to Zi, the people of Jiangxia in Nanjun were panicked, which also made Cao Cao understand that it was not a good choice to fight again. But just stop it?

Cao Cao was unwilling!

Seeing that Changsha County was about to be recaptured, such a thing happened, and it was almost a failure.

Originally, the conquest of Jingzhou could come to a successful end. But because Liu Bei, a strong man, broke his wrist, Cao Cao fell into an embarrassing situation. What's next? Will you continue to fight, or will you retreat?

It was at this time that a man suddenly jumped out.

This person is the son of Yang Biao, the son of Hongnong Yang, Yang Xiu. At the beginning, Cao Zhi took the liberty of asking Cao Peng for Zhen Mi, which made Cao Peng furious. Later, Cao Zhi and Cao Cao sent him to Chang'an to study, and Yang Xiu, who was Cao Zhi's friend, also went to Chang'an together. Yang Xiu is originally from Guanzhong, and he is from a famous family and extremely intelligent. Therefore, he was quickly valued by the captain of Si Li. Cao Cao's conquest of Youzhou was victorious, and he turned to crusade against Jingzhou. Wei Qi was entrusted by the Yang clan, recommended Yang Xiu, entered the prime minister's mansion, and came to Jingzhou with Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, this Yang Xiu's poems and songs are all first-class, and his talent is outstanding.

He is smart and can read words and feelings, so he was quickly valued by Cao Cao.

On this day, it rained lightly and was extremely cold.

Cao Cao's body and bones are not very good, although he has been diagnosed and treated by Zhang Zhongjing, he is still very weak. So, Cao Xiu hunted a pheasant and sent it to Cao Cao to mend his body, and after the kitchen was ready, he sent it to the house.

Cao Cao was eating chicken, and suddenly Dian Wei came to ask for the password.

"Chicken ribs!"

Cao Cao picked up the chicken ribs and replied casually.

Dian Wei then passed the password, and when Yang Xiu heard about it, he immediately ordered someone to pack his luggage. coincided with Guo Jia and Zhang He's inspection, and when they saw the soldiers in the camp packing their bags, they hurriedly asked. When I asked, I found out that it was from Yang Xiu's mouth.

Yang Xiu said: "Chicken ribs, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it, which is in the prime minister's current state of mind."

Now the battle of Jingnan cannot be advanced or retreated, which is like a chicken rib...... In my opinion, the prime minister has already intended to withdraw the troops, so it is better to prepare early, so as not to panic when the troops are withdrawn and leave things down. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was terrified.

"Junyi, this person has shaken the morale of the army, and his crime is unforgivable.

Go to the camp quickly, and say nothing, and kill them...... I'm going to report to the prime minister. ”

Guo Jia, under Xun Yu, Cao Cao's first mastermind.

Of course, Zhang He knew Guo Jia's status in the Cao camp, so without saying a word, he went straight to the barracks with people.

Guo Jia felt Cao Cao's residence.

As soon as he said the matter, Cao Cao was furious.

"Well killed, well killed...... Those who seem to confuse the public with such fallacies and disturb the hearts of our army should have been killed a long time ago. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect that his casual words would almost cause chaos.

Guo Jia saw that there was no one else in the house, so he asked: "Prime Minister, what are the plans for the current situation in Jingnan?" ”

Cao Cao also had a headache and patted his forehead gently.

After a while, he sighed, looked at Guo Jia and smiled bitterly: "Fengxiao, I won't hide it from you." Although Yang Xiu bewitched the public, he also spoke my mind. In today's situation, I am also in a dilemma.

I believe that Biyan is the same as me, and he doesn't want to really fight.

However, seeing that Jingnan was about to be completed, but was tricked by the big-eared thief, and Jiangdong was cheapened, I was really unwilling. For the past two days, I have been thinking, should I advance or retreat? ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he leaned back on the couch, revealing a tired look.

Guo Jia sighed lightly, "The prime minister has not rested since the conquest of Youzhou. After a series of fierce battles, I'm afraid I'm tired...... Now the situation in Jingnan is caused by Liu Bei. When this person enters Xichuan, he will definitely have a dragon and tiger fight with Liu Zhang. But in a short time he will lie dormant and recuperate. Xichuan, the land of abundance, should not be taken lightly. If Liu Bei eases up, seeks to capture Xichuan, and then wants to destroy it, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

The great enemy of the lord, Liu Xuande.

Jingnan is vast, but with the prime minister, it is of little significance.

Even if Sun Quan occupies Jingnan, will he have the ability to seek Jingzhou? In my opinion, he doesn't have that ability yet.

If he wants Changsha, give it to him.

But the lord decided to occupy Lingling and Wuling, and divided Jingnan into two. Then a general went around with Sun Quan. When the time is ripe, the prime minister can seize Jingnan in one go, and then enter Jiangdong. ”

"You mean, retirement?"

Cao Cao hesitated, and had to admit that Guo Jia's plan was the most suitable.

Although he was very unwilling in his heart, he must also admit that he had lost the best opportunity to seek the four counties of Jingnan. According to Guo Jia's words, the two counties of Wuling and Lingling are intertwined with Jiangdong City. Then build a navy army...... When the naval army is completed, it is the opportunity for Cao Cao to conquer Jiangdong......"

"Gan Ning, have you arrived?"

"I have arrived in Jiangxia, and I will come in the near future."

Cao Cao patted his forehead and muttered for a long time, "Since this is the case, let's make arrangements like this...... However, the candidates for the Lingling Taishou must be properly chosen. Fengxiao, who do you think is suitable? ”

"Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang."

"Oh?"

"This person is from Yiyang, he is quite familiar with Jingzhou, and since he was attached, he has been loyal and has made countless meritorious contributions.

Wei Yan guards Lingling, with the assistance of Wuxi Man, there will be no big problem.

The lord can set up a general of Jingzhou to supervise the war in Jingnan. General Miaocai has arrived in Xiangyang, when is it.

The navy has Ganning Duji, and Lingling has Wei Yan out of the town...... However, Lai Gong is no longer suitable for Wuling's position...... I suggest that Deng Fan, the general of the Qiang Zhonglang, and Pan Zhang, the captain of the Qiang Guard, be recruited to guard the Wuling. These two have a very good relationship with Gan Ning and Wei Yan, so they can cooperate properly, and Jingnan will never have to worry about it. ”

"Deng Fan, Pan Zhang?"

Cao Cao had an impression of these two people.

"Aren't the two of them defending against Xiqiang?"

"Buqi out of the town of Wuwei Taishou has been in the position for a long time, and the development of Hexi trade roads has made outstanding contributions, and it must be rewarded; Zhang Ye guarded Shi Tao too much, and lived in the bitter cold land of the northwest for a long time, so he should also be reused. Today, Zhang is not feeling well, which makes Hanyang vacant. Shi Tao can be made to be the Taishou of Hanyang, and Buqi will go to Jizhou, out of Yecheng Lieutenant, and Wei County Taishou...... Wuwei Taishou, Jiaju recommended Jiuquan Taishou Su to take over, this person has lived in the northwest for a long time, and Qianghu is also very familiar with it, and it is enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and the west trade road of Baohe is prosperous. ”

Three people were transferred from the northwest at once, and at the same time, Zhangye County was vacant......

After Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, he pointed at Guo Jia and smiled: "Fengxiao, you are willing to work for Ah Fu...... Could it be that I am really the kind of person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, turns his face and does not recognize people? ”

Guo Jia said with a straight face: "Jia is like this, not for Ah Fu, but for the prime minister."

The northwest of the prime minister, when Ah Fu single-handedly took it down, I am afraid that he had no intention of taking it for himself. It's just that the situation at that time forced it to be arranged in this way. Now that the Northwest is stabilizing, it's time to make adjustments...... If this goes on for a long time, it is not a good thing for the prime minister and Ah Fu. ”

Cao Cao was silent!

What Guo Jia said was very reasonable, so he had to think about it seriously.

During this time, his energy was focused on Jingzhou, and he thought relatively little about other things. Cao Peng killed the Fu Wan family and took the charge for him. But from another angle, Cao Peng has also been on the cusp.

The northwest pattern is indeed too subtle.

Cao Peng laid it down with one hand and ran it with the other...... It is inevitable that people will make irresponsible remarks.

It's time to weaken Cao Peng's power in the northwest!

"Su Ze is too guarded by Wuwei, which is also suitable.

It's just that Jiuquan is vacant and Zhangye is vacant, who should take over? ”

"Jia recommends another person, it is that Jia Xu's fake son, Jia Xing.

He is also in the northwest all the year round, and he is also quite popular. He can be the Taishou of Zhangye County, assist Su Ze, and make the trade routes in the Western Regions unblocked. As for Jiuquan Taishou, it is better to be a local...... I heard that Yin Feng, the captain of the Licheng Commander Army, is quite talented. If it can be made to take over Jiuquan, the Western Regions trade route will be worry-free.

In addition, the Western Regions trade route is opened, and the Western Regions must also be arranged.

Jia re-admonishes one person, Jincheng guards Zhao Qu too much, and can take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the capital of the Western Regions......"

If Cao Peng is here, he will definitely pick up his teeth.

Guo Jia's adjustment can be said to have caused Cao Peng's strength in the northwest to suffer heavy losses. Zhao Qu is the protector of the Western Regions, and Jincheng is vacant.

"So, who can guard the golden city?"

"Don't drive Xu Shu in Liangzhou, you can guard Jincheng too much."

That's a lot of fun!

If it is really to be implemented, the transfer of officials at the level of Taishou involves nearly 10 people, not to mention officials below the level of Taishou, and there are dozens of people involved. Such a large-scale mobilization is not a trivial matter.

Cao Cao thought for a long time, and said to Guo Jia: "You can list this matter, and then discuss it when you return to Xudu." ”

With so many people mobilized at once, Cao Cao still had to take into account Cao Peng's feelings.

He had just solved a big problem for himself, and he turned back, without a reward, but to weaken his strength.

Whoever changes this will be dissatisfied.

In Cao Cao's heart, he didn't want to really have a rift with Cao Peng.

"By the way, the last time Ah Fu asked for his son's marriage, what did the prime minister think?"

"This ......"

Cao Cao remembered that Cao Peng had really begged for his son.

Cai Di!

Now he has become Cao Peng's fake son.

But this generation is ......

Cao Cao couldn't help but have a little headache, he knew it earlier, and he wouldn't let Cai Yan get married, but he ended up in an embarrassing situation.

"Forget it, the grandson of Gong Cai is also worthy of my girl.

I'll have someone inform Ah Fu about this...... By the way, you know what we have just discussed, and we know it, not for a third person.

Also, I'll order someone to build a dockyard inside. After Gan Ning arrived, let him open a mansion in Zhangshan. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhangshan, located on the bank of the Han River, is also known as the inner side.

This place is not far from Yunmengze, and the boat can enter the river in one day.

In this way, the Jingzhou Navy can echo the Dongting Navy Army. Even if you can't resist the Koto naval army in a short time, you can still cause moderation. There are many skilled craftsmen in the interior, which is close to Xiangyang and not far from Jiangxia. The construction of a dock is quite suitable, and most importantly, it can strengthen the strength of Cao Cao's naval army.

The ships of the Jingzhou Navy are mainly large building ships.

Previously defeated by Koto and suffered heavy losses...... Cao Cao also saw that although the ships of the Jiangdong Navy were small, they were very flexible. Therefore, he also thought that if he fought with the Jiangdong naval army, the flexibility of the ship was indispensable.

At this time, Zhang He came to report: "Yang Xiu has been killed!" ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In October of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to evacuate Jingnan.

Subsequently, a series of appointments were issued, which surprised many people. In particular, Gan Ning's appointment as the governor of the navy was also unexpected by many people. Previously, many people predicted the candidate for the governor of the navy, but no one thought that it would be Gan Ning. On the sixth day of October, Gan Ning arrived in Linyuan, met Cao Cao, and took office.

Du Ji, deputy governor of the navy, also expressed a warm welcome.

When the two met, they smiled knowingly...... Everyone is from the son's family, and they should take care of it in the future.

Subsequently, Sun Quan agreed not to go west again and seek to capture Lingling.

Wei Yan took office and served as the Taishou of Lingling.

Immediately after, Xiahou Yuan took over the post of pastor of Jingzhou, worshiped the general of Jingzhou, the marquis of the township, and supervised the military of Jingzhou.

Nanjun guarded Liu Xian and transferred out of Xiangyang to Xudu.

Wang Wei took over the post of Nanjun Taishou and gained a lot...... However, Wang Wei knew very well that if Wen Ping hadn't died in Huya Mountain, maybe Nanjun Taishou wouldn't have been able to take his turn. And the son of Wen Ping, now serving under Cao Peng. I want to sit firmly in this position, and the relationship with Cao Peng can't be severed.

So, he ordered someone to rebuild the tomb of Wenpin, and made proper arrangements for Wenpin's family.

Wang Wei also sent people to Hedong to express his gratitude to Deng Ji, and even wrote to Wenwu, so that he could live in Xudu and work for Cao Peng. If there is an opportunity in the future, avenge Wenpin...... Wenwu, grateful.

The battle of Jingzhou came to an end.

In any case, Cao Cao can be regarded as a triumphant return.

It was only when he arrived in Xiangyang that he heard that Cao Peng had left Xudu and was sentenced to Qing and Yan. This made Cao Cao a little surprised, so he jokingly asked Xun Yu: "Ah Fu is not a person who likes to move, why did he suddenly want to mention some prison?" ”

Cao Peng, the court lieutenant, is actually to deal with the Fu Wan family.

Now, the remnants of the Han Emperor have been killed by Cao Peng, and he, the court lieutenant, should actually be very relaxed.

Unexpectedly, he actually ran to mention some prison?

Cao Cao was very puzzled, but soon, he left this matter behind.

Because of Xudu, a big event happened.

Cheng Yu Manzhong and others, together with the ministers of the court, formally proposed to the Han Emperor in a court meeting to ask Cao Cao to be the king of Wei.

This news also surprised Cao Cao......
