646 Mixed reputations
Ma Chao was in a nest, and he was sick because of the cold that day. I thought it was just a slight illness, but after more than ten days of recuperation, it still did not improve, and the condition became more serious, and in the end, I couldn't get out of bed, so I had no choice but to temporarily cancel the plan to attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had such an impregnable city wall, and he also let go of all his worries and began to laugh all day long.
Of course, there are some things that Cao Cao did not forget, first rewarded Xu Chu and others, and then called Ding Fei, gave a reward, and promised to take him back to Xu Capital. If Ding Fei hadn't rescued him, he would have died in the chaos that day.
Ding Fei was grateful to Dade and repeatedly expressed his determination to follow the prime minister to the death.
Wang Baoyu felt that Ding Fei was not like a good person, and he inevitably reminded him afterwards: "Lao Cao, I always feel that Ding Fei seems to have a problem with his character, you have to be careful!" ”
"Baoyu really has a unique vision, Ding Fei is a fellow villager with me, and he often has corrupt behaviors, and the ministers have many impeachments for him, he originally served by my side, but because of a lot of criticism, he was demoted here." Cao Cao nodded.
Oh, Wang Baoyu nodded, and asked again: "In that case, why do you want to take him back again?" ”
"Baoyu, in terms of intelligence and supernatural powers, you are above me, if you talk about the way of governing the world and employing people, you are not as good as me." Cao Cao said unceremoniously.
"Hehe, I admit this, please name one, two, three!"
"There are clouds in ancient books, and there are no fish when the water is clear, even though Ding Fei has a thousand mistakes, but he is loyal to me, save me in danger, and I should not give up. And employing people is not only a gentleman, but also a villain should make good use of it, one yin and one yang is the way. Cao Cao said something very philosophical.
"You have a lot of talents, Ding Fei is not a big man, can he play a role in counterbalancing you?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Let's talk about it later, but at this time, Ding Fei can only be rewarded."
"Lao Cao, I heard you say a word, very famous."
"I don't know which one?" Cao Cao asked with interest.
"I told you not to be angry!"
"Haha, the relationship between you and me is extraordinary, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"That's the sentence, I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me!" Wang Baoyu said.
Cao Cao was slightly stunned, waved his hand and said, "Do you think I am such a person?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be!"
"I've never said that, it's a rumor from Chen Gong. Alas, it is for this reason that I have missed too many talents. Cao Cao sighed.
"Anyone who has made achievements has a mixed reputation, and you don't have to worry about it." Wang Baoyu was relieved.
"Baoyu's words are very good, if it can benefit the people of the world, what can it do if it will be stinking for thousands of years? Anyway, I don't know what is going on behind you, so let the descendants scold it! Cao Cao said happily.
Wang Baoyu remembered one thing, and said with a smile: "Lao Cao, you have to talk about credibility to people, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"So you'll be kind to Ding Fei, then, what about a fish?"
Fish? What fish? Cao Cao didn't react at first, but then patted his head and said, "Thanks to Baoyu's reminder, I almost forgot the golden carp in the Weihe River, which also saved my life." ”
"Yes, you also promised that fish to be the dragon of the Wei River. If we don't keep our promises, we will lose a lot of money if we don't make waves again. Wang Baoyu said.
"I'll do it!" Cao Cao said, pulled a piece of white silk, wrote a letter to Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian, roughly described what happened to the Wei River, and asked Emperor Han Xian to issue a holy decree to seal this fish as the dragon of the Wei River.
After writing this, Cao Cao raised his head again, looked at Wang Baoyu, and asked, "Baoyu, why don't you let the saint crown you as a captain?" ”
"What does this official do?" Wang Baoyu asked with interest.
"Dominate the affairs of the army, rank among the three princes!" Cao Cao said.
Wang Baoyu's head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed, what he was worried about was that he had left a lot of traces in history, and if he became such a big official again, he was afraid that he would really go down in history and could not erase it.
"This official position is at the same level as mine, and no matter how big it is, it will be crowned king." Cao Cao thought that Wang Baoyu disliked the official and asked in surprise.
"Hey, you're misleading. First of all, I don't even understand myself, how can I be such a big official, besides, you know that the military power is in your hands, isn't this official still a false name, and it will make others jealous. More importantly, I was determined to go north and didn't want to be an official. Wang Baoyu explained with a smile.
"Baoyu's open-mindedness is rare in the world, and I admire it." Cao Cao sincerely arched his hand at Wang Baoyu.
Sojo was secretly sent back by the messenger, the transportation was inconvenient, and he took a long detour, and it took more than two months for Sojo to return. At this time, it was already freezing and the grass and trees were frozen.
Wang Baoyu often stands outside the tent and looks out in the direction of his hometown, cold and desolate, the ice and snow are scattered, hey, I don't know if my family is okay. I traveled through the Three Kingdoms by myself, there has been no news for many years, the two mothers of my mother and my godmother must be crazy, my mother is better, after all, there is a half-sister Wang Linlin to accompany her, but my godmother has nothing to do in her life, she broke her heart for herself, and when she saw the blessings of Qingfu, there was this incident again, the old man must hold on, don't fall ill.
Wang Baoyu shook his head, unwilling to face this imagination, only hoping that the war would end as soon as possible and go home early.
The Wei River is frozen, Cao Cao's new troubles are coming again, he is always afraid that Ma Chao will step on the ice, and then reoccupy the north bank, and send troops to patrol every day, and resolutely intercept Ma Chao here.
Although Ma Chao's condition is dangerous, he has been tossing back and forth for almost a month, and he has lost a lot of weight, but after all, he is young and strong, and Ma Dai has been enlightened all day long, and his body has slowly recovered.
Although he knew that most of his illness was related to the knot, Ma Chao was still troubled, and now the soldiers were gathered, and the consumption of grain and grass was very strict. Especially those Qiang soldiers who supported them, they didn't help anything after they came, and they wasted food.
There were often clashes between the Xiliang soldiers and the Qiang soldiers, and there was even a collective brawl between Yan Zòng, but Ma Chao couldn't drive them away, after all, only the Qiang soldiers were there, and the troops on both sides had to fight. Ma Chaoming punished the Xiliang soldiers who gathered to make trouble, and patiently persuaded him behind his back, hoping that everyone would understand his difficulties.
It's definitely not a way to spend so much, and the only way to solve it at present is to fight Cao Cao and kill this cunning old thief! Ma Chao was less than thinking about Cao Liangzhi all day long.
On this day, Cao Cao also got the holy decree of Emperor Han Xian to seal the fish as a dragon, and when he saw it, he stroked his palms and laughed, laughing so much that he covered his stomach, and then handed it to Wang Baoyu, saying that he had never seen the saint and became so interesting.
Wang Baoyu opened it and couldn't help laughing, and gave a thumbs up to praise, the holy lord has really made great progress, which is impressive, this holy decree is really talented!
