In the study of the General's Mansion, the fire was blazing. The cold wind howls outside, but the interior is as warm as spring.

As soon as Zhang Ji entered the door, Yuan Mai secretly looked at this doctor known as the "medical saint", and saw that he was about fifty years old, dressed in a white robe, wearing a gray scarf, and his hair and beard were already a little gray, but his skin was well maintained.

"He is worthy of being a miracle doctor who has gone down in history, just in terms of the maintenance of this skin, people around fifty years old really can't compare with him!"

Yuan Mai muttered in his heart, hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with his hand: "Oops...... Presumably this is Mr. Zhongjing, who lost his life in his later years, and asked Mr. for forgiveness! ”

"Don't dare to be ashamed, don't dare to be ashamed...... Gongzi Gui is a state assassin history, so Lixian corporal, not far away to send Ziyu to Nanyang to invite the old decay, there is no way to repay, honest and afraid! Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly hugged his wrist and bowed back.

Yuan Mai ordered someone to see the seat, personally served tea to Zhang Ji, chatted with him, and talked about family and country affairs.

Zhang Ji was very satisfied with Yuan Mai's Corporal Lixian, who had no famous and noble shelf, and felt that he had made the right choice to come to Bingzhou this time. This young man has a young man who has a good heart and a steady speech, like a person who has achieved great things, and he will have a future with such a person!

The reason why Yuan Mai is respectful to Zhang Ji is not only because he is a miracle doctor and respected by the world, but also has his own little abacus.

First of all, Zhang Ji is a clever doctor, which can be called a wonderful rejuvenation, and with him in the state, he will definitely be able to ensure the health of his subordinates to the greatest extent. In case someone hangs a lottery on the battlefield and is injured, and a miracle doctor comes out, it will naturally allow the injured to recover as soon as possible.

Yuan Mai tried his best to recruit Zhang Ji, in addition to using Zhang Ji's medical skills, the more important purpose was to use him to get close to the emperor of the dynasty, which was the reason why Yuan Mai was respectful to Zhang Ji.

This time, Cao Cao took advantage of the "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes" to give Zhang Yan and the Xiongnu additional officials and knights, so that they could attack and annex the state. Hold yourself back in the way. This made Yuan Mai very passive, and he had been thinking about the way to deal with Cao Cao in his heart.

There is a saying that "the name is not right", and vice versa, "the name is right".

To compete with Cao Cao is not only to compete with him militarily, politically, and economically. It is also necessary to have the moral upper hand.

Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage. At every turn, orders were issued in the name of the Son of Heaven. Whoever does not obey will be punished with the crime of "disobeying the emperor's order and going against the law", which can be described as unmoved. He had the upper hand first.

In this era, information was not developed, and the dissemination of news relied on word of mouth. Moreover, most of the people of the world are ignorant people, and illiterate people abound.

was fooled by Cao Cao like this, many people thought that Cao Cao was a righteous teacher, and he was ordered to beg thieves, how many people could distinguish between right and wrong? Therefore, from the beginning, Cao Cao had the upper hand in the hearts of the people.

These days, Yuan Mai has been thinking hard about countermeasures to resolve Cao Cao's advantage. After thinking about it again, I came up with a strategy to seek an edict to offer the emperor, and then hype it up to create pressure on Cao Cao in public opinion.

In fact, this method is a common trick used by politicians of later generations, always through public opinion propaganda to ruin the opponent's reputation, and then take the moral initiative before bringing down the opponent.

But Yuan Mai also understood that with Cao Cao's cunning and strategy, he would naturally strictly monitor Emperor Xian, and the emperor's every move would be under Cao Cao's control. Otherwise, the young Son of Heaven would not have racked his brains to convey his will to his uncle Dong Cheng through the method of "Cloth and Belt Edict".

Not to mention whether the people sent to the capital can see the Son of Heaven, even if they meet the emperor, what can they do if they are surrounded by Cao Cao's eyes and ears?

Since he couldn't get the edict of "begging thieves" from the emperor, Yuan Mai turned his attention to his uncle Dong Cheng.

According to the natural development of history, at this time, Emperor Xian had already granted Dong Cheng the "Edict of Clothes and Belts", and secretly ordered him to summon Zhongliang and punish Cao thieves. If you can get this "edict" in your hands, when you face off with Cao Cao in the future, you can justifiably "beg the thief"!

If the "Cloth Belt Edict" is in hand, it will reverse the roles of Yuan and Cao, so that Cao Cao will change from a loyal and good "begging for the Son of Heaven to a traitor who usurps power and deceives the king", which is definitely a big killer for Yuan Mai. In troubled times, it is not enough to rely on military means alone, if you can complement each other politically and militarily, it will greatly increase the chances of victory.

But if you want to cheat out the "Edict of Clothes and Ribbons" from Dong Cheng's hands, it is definitely not an easy task, this is an important object that is vital to the life of the Son of Heaven, how could Dong Cheng easily show the "Edict of Clothes and Ribbons"?

After thinking about it, Yuan Mai came up with the idea of Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is not only a world-famous miracle doctor, but also once worked as an official in the capital, and he should have a certain number of connections among the civil and military ministers. If Zhang Ji comes out to ask Dong Cheng for an edict, it will greatly increase his grasp; If Zhang Ji and Dong Cheng are old acquaintances, it will be even more effective with half the effort!

Moreover, before coming to Bingzhou, Zhang Ji had been active in Nanyang and Jingzhou, and if he appeared in Xuchang, he should not have attracted the attention of Cao Cao's ears, let alone that Zhang Ji's appearance was related to the Yuan family.

The above considerations are the reasons why Yuan Mai is bound to win Zhang Ji, so he will be respectful to this miracle doctor.

"Mr. Zhongjing, please have tea!"

Yuan Mai smiled and raised his teacup to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji took a sip of the teacup, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you Gongzi for your hospitality, Zhang Ji He De He can, as the guest of the envoy, Sansheng is also lucky!" ”

Yuan Mai moistened his throat and said softly: "The position of Taiyuan County Cheng has always been vacant, Taishou Wang Ling is good at military affairs, but he is not good at government affairs, and he has always wanted me to send someone to assist him in handling political affairs, I wonder if Mr. Zhongjing is satisfied with this position?" ”

Anyone who has been an official has an instinctive desire for a career, and Zhang Ji is no exception. When he was the Taishou of Changsha, he failed to show his skills, which made him haunted him, which is also one of the reasons why he followed Zhuge Jin to Jinyang.

Although Yuan Mai proposed that Zhang Ji should be the county officer, not the county guard; However, Taiyuan is a large county that is famous all over the world, with more than 20 county towns and a population of 6 or 700,000. Moreover, this Wang Ling focuses on the military, so political affairs will inevitably fall more on the county Cheng.

Zhang Ji's mood was suddenly surging, and he got up and thanked him: "Oops...... Since the king is loved, how dare Zhang Ji pick and choose, he will inevitably be dull, report the grace of the king's knowledge, and relieve the suffering of the people of Li! ”

The reason why Yuan Mai promised to give Zhang Ji an official position was to stabilize him first, so as not to make Zhang Ji feel that he was using him. Although he wants to use him to obtain the edict of the cloth belt, he has to do it step by step, and he does it without revealing any traces, which is the most clever means.

"Mr. Zhongjing came all the way from Nanyang, trekking through mountains and rivers, and must be tired; In addition, the weather is cold these days, and it is not suitable to hurry, so you will first spend a few days in the post house, and then go to Taiyuan after this cold wave passes! ”

Time flies, and it's time for dinner in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Mai ordered his subordinates to prepare a wine feast to entertain Zhang Ji. No other generals were invited, only Zhuge Jin was by his side.

At the banquet, Yuan Mai didn't mention the matter of clothes and edicts, and he couldn't arrange tasks for Zhang Ji as soon as they met, let him settle down for a few days, chat with him a few times, and then arrange tasks for him, which seemed more natural, not like he had been planning for a long time.

The conversation during the banquet was very pleasant, in addition to asking Zhang Ji for some health care medical problems, Yuan Mai always deliberately put the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family on his lips, saying that the Yuan family has been favored by the emperor since the ancestor Yuan An, and now the Han family is declining, and the Yuan family must play the role of the mainstay, turn the tide in the fall, help the building to fall, and revitalize the Han family!

"Alas...... Listening to the words of the envoy, I remembered my mentor Yuan Gong. For the Han family, Engong really did his best and worked hard, but it's a pity that Dong Zhuo's traitor committed a heinous crime and killed his teacher, and the whole world is sad......"

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, fifty-year-old Zhang Ji remembered Yuan Kui, the Taifu who had repeatedly promoted him in his official career, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his tears, while praising Yuan Mai: "When you are young, you have the ambition to help the Han family. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ji was really loyal to the Han family, he shed tears when he spoke, not like a disguise. Yuan Mai couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart, "It seems that this matter can be done nine times out of ten!" ”

But he said impassionedly: "My Yuan family is favored by the emperor, how can I sit and watch the decline of the Han Dynasty?" If there are traitors, my Yuan family will definitely do their best to eradicate the traitors and revive the dynasty! ”

The feast lasted for an hour and a half, Zhang Ji was slightly drunk, Yuan Mai sent a carriage to send Zhang Ji back to the post house, and Zhuge Jin retired together.

The night was dark and the sky was cloudy.

Gentle snowflakes drifted down, and the first snow of Jian'an four years arrived quietly.

After sending Zhang Ji away, Yuan Mai went straight to the backyard Du family's courtyard, today was teased by this coquettish girl, and her heart was itchy, if it weren't for the presence of Zhen Mi and Feng Fangnu, she would have been corrected on the spot.

The fragrant bedroom was warmed by the fire, and there was no winter cold.

After Yuan Mai entered the door, he was stopped by the waiting horny Du Shi and hugged him, and said angrily: "Why did the husband come, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come?" ”

"Haha...... I'm only a moment late, and Madame can't wait? In that case, let your husband train you! ”

Yuan Mai quickly took off his clothes, stripped Du Shi naked, and quickly got into the brocade quilt, and the two bodies were entangled.

The beauty is in her arms, with a plump and fair body, full and round breasts, and straight buttocks, which makes people's blood swell......

"Ahh......h

After a while, Du Shi let out a coquettish moan and began to chant and sing in a low voice.

The snowflakes outside the room fell quietly, and it didn't take long for them to fall white. (To be continued......)
