Jia Xu had a solution, which really surprised Yuan Shang very much, after all, it was indeed not an easy task to stabilize the Cao clan's army and the local county armies, at least Yuan Shang didn't think of a stable way now.

However, if it is with Jia Xu's wisdom, it must not be too difficult to do this.

"What tricks does Dr. Jia have? Let's hear it. Yuan Shang asked Jia Xu with a smile.

Jia Xu bowed modestly and opened his mouth, but he jumped out of a sentence.

"Can you give saliva to drink? By the way, give me another seat, the old man has been standing here for a long time. ”

Yuan Shang: "......"

The old guy kicked his nose in the face.

Later, when the water arrived, the old man Jia Xu took a sip of the water and drank it "yoly", and then breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked like he was enjoying it.

"It would be better if I had some more hot tea...... the old man said to himself, and he didn't know whether to tell it to himself or Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang's face flushed slightly.

"Old fox, don't get an inch! This is the front line of the Chinese army, where can I give you a whole hot tea! ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, looking at his expression, as if he was not very afraid of Yuan Shang.

"Old decay is just a statement, the general doesn't have to take it seriously."

Yuan Shang: "............"

After a pause, Jia Xu put down the water vessel in his hand, his face was straight, and he said: "Although the Cao Chinese army is now subdued, there are many disgruntled people among the generals, and what is the heart of the local county Taishou County, the general does not know, for the sake of the future commander, the general will sooner or later carry out a purge of these people, however." Now that the Cao family has just returned to obedience, people's hearts are floating, even if they have to be cleaned. Now is not the best time. ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "If we purge personnel now, we will inevitably kill many people...... It is easy to affect my majestic image. ”

Jia Xu said: "Therefore, the current strategy should be based on the strategy of appeasement, as long as you can get through the early period of time, and wait for the future people's hearts to be stable." Zhongzhou shape shì attached, in the transfer of officials, generals. When you can do more with less. ”

Yuan Shang sneered when he heard this, and said: "You didn't say this, the key is how to do it!" ”

Jia Xu was not in a hurry or slow, and said: "Pacify the generals of the Cao family's Chinese army." One person is required. And to appease the local counties and counties in Zhongzhou, it also takes one person. ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "To appease the generals of the Cao army, you need to use a Sikong!" To pacify the local state capitals, counties, and counties, a Shangshu is required. ”

"A commonplace...... A scholar ...... "Yuan Shang's eyes rolled, and he seemed to understand what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Now the main force of the Cao clan has been coordinated and subordinated to the general, but the hearts of the generals and soldiers are submissive or not. It will take the generals to recover them one by one, but during the period of recovering their loyalty. There needs to be someone who shocks them, and this person is naturally none other than Cao Zhi, the former prime minister of Cao Cheng...... Of course, the general dominates the north, and the position of prime minister who can be equal to you naturally cannot be held by him, so it is not bad to let him inherit his father's position and continue to serve as the secretary. ”

Yuan Shang's face sank.

"Old fox, you are stupid to me! Let Cao Zhi continue to serve as a commonplace, like a choking in the throat, like a sword in the head! Maybe something will go wrong! ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "It's just a fictitious position, and when the time comes, Cao Zhi will be moved to Yecheng, and he will not have real power, and he will be subject to the general." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said, "It's just!" If I want to use him to help me appease the current situation of Cao Jun, then I must let him be in the army, but move him to Yecheng, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, it's useless at all, your plan is too chicken! ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The general didn't understand the old man's meaning, let Cao Zhi be the commonplace, and moved it to Yecheng, although he couldn't command the Cao army, but he could place one of his assistants in the army, and always spread Cao Zhi's intentions, stabilize the generals and soldiers of the Cao army, and then the general will find a way to slowly return little by little to recover the loyalty of the generals of the Cao army." ”

Yuan Shang is so smart, when he heard this, he suddenly became stunned.

"Do you mean that Cao Zhi is still the commander, and he still has the right to lead Cao Jun, but he has no real power, on the contrary, he is to install a spokesman for him in the army? And this spokesperson must have a close relationship with Cao Zhi, be able to convince the public, and still be under my control? ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said, "Then who do you say is suitable?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "If you want to choose, there is one here." ”

"Who?"

"Cao Chong."

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this.

Jia Xu smiled and slowly explained for Yuan Shang.

"According to the observation of the old man for so many years, although Cao Chong is the smartest of the sons of the Cao family, he is not a king! This kid lacks domineering, lacks forbearance, lacks ambition, lacks too much, although he is intelligent, he is too conspicuous, causing many brothers to be jealous of him, and for this alone, he is no threat to the general in the army. ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this: "The sharp hedgehog is indeed not terrible, I am afraid that I am afraid that I am afraid of Wang Ba who can endure like Liu Bei and Cao Pi." ”

Jia Xu smiled and continued: "In addition, Cao Chong, this kid is very kind and filial, and he has a very good relationship with his brother Cao Zhi!" The general asked Cao Chong to sit in the army for Cao Zhi, but he could move the entire Cao clan to Yecheng, including Cao Zhi and Mrs. Huan! Imagine that his most beloved biological mother and brother with the best relationship are all in Yecheng, and they are all under the eyes of the general, with Cao Chong's pure kindness, how can he not bow down to the general and be willing to drive? ”

Yuan Shang nodded again.

"Third, Cao Chong is young, although he has the identity of the son of the Cao family, but he has no significant merits, which will inevitably produce certain obstacles to his development in the army.

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused and said, "In the name of Cao Zhi, with Cao Chong's people, to manage the Cao army, you will be able to worry about it for a long time!" And after a period of time, with the means of the general, it must be not difficult to recover the heart of Cao Jun and completely integrate it into his own soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"A poisoner is a poisoner, and his tricks are ruthless! Not only did Cao Zhi and the Cao clan use this method to suppress them, but it also showed that I understood the righteousness and treated the subordinates preferentially...... Old fox, what brand of art of war are you reading? Recommend it to me, and let me see it for a long time. ”

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this, and said modestly: "The general thinks this plan is easy to use." ”

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "However, the position of Sikong can't be given to Cao Zhi, after all, it is a position in charge of military affairs, even if he has no authority, leaving him idle for a long time will cause people to talk about it...... I should report to Luoyang and ask the imperial court to confer Cao Zhi as a ...... Taifu! Ranked first among the hundred officials. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "This, it depends on the general's own meaning." ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said busily: "Then what about the local counties and counties in the Central Plains, how to deal with it?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The old man said that one Sikong and one Shangshu, Sikong is to help you manage the Cao family's Chinese army, and the local counties, as long as the general can get the support of one person, it will be stable." ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "Who?" ”

"Xun Yu, Cao's government affairs over the years have all been managed by Xun Yu, Xun Yu's reputation among local county officials is extremely high, and his status is extremely heavy, as long as he comes forward, there is no local matter that cannot be calmed."

I see, Yuan Shang nodded and expressed understanding.

"But how should I subdue Xun Yu?"

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this.

"That's your own business, old decay doesn't care."

*************************

The two strategies stated by Jia Xu were adopted by Yuan Shang, but now is not the time to implement them, and after Guandu reorganizes the army, the next thing he has to do is to enter Xudu.

At this time, Zhang Liao protected Sima Yi and Diao Chan and returned to the Guandu army.

This time, Cao Zhi was able to surrender, thanks to Sima Yi, Diao Chan and others secretly maneuvering in the rear, and thanks to Diao Chan being able to persuade Mrs. Bian, and it was precisely because of Mrs. Bian's handwritten letter that Cao Zhi was able to speed up Cao Zhi's stubbornness to give up his stubborn resistance.

Therefore, Yuan Shang happily received the three of them.

Diao Chan and Zhang Liao are okay to say, but Sima Yi is injured, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and he limped, as if he had been hit by two arrows in the legs.

But it was Mrs. Bian who went out of the city to pray for Cao Zhi and others, Diao Chan wanted to see her persuade her to surrender, but there were more protectors around her, so she sent Sima Yi to lead a group of dead soldiers, pretending to be chaotic people, harassing her team, and attracting most of the guards, so that Zhang Liao protected Diao Chan to meet when Mrs. Bian's side was short of guards.

Diao Chan succeeded, but poor Sima Yi and the others who were responsible for luring away the guards around Mrs. Bian were treated as mobs, and after being caught by the guards, they were brutally beaten up by them. Sima Yi's ass was kicked open, and his leg bones were almost discounted, if it wasn't for getting along day and night, Yuan Shang would almost not recognize him.

"Lord ......" Sima Yi limped towards Yuan Shang, holding Yuan Shang's eyes tightly with both hands, his face was full of tears, and his voice was choked, as if he had unspeakable hardship.

Yuan Shang was stunned when he saw this, and asked in surprise: "Zhongda, why did you become an iron kidnapper?" ”

Sima Yi twitched his throat vigorously and said in a low voice: "Lord...... Wickedness......"

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this: "Who is scolding the demon, be careful that I whip you!" ”

"I mean...... Your mother-in-law is wicked, don't let me see her again in the future! Sima Yi choked up and finished his words.

Yuan Shang was surprised when he heard this: "Don't you love to see beautiful women the most?" My mother-in-law looks so fancy, don't you like to look at it? ”

"I love to watch it, but the problem is that I have to keep my life to watch it!"

Yuan Shang turned his head in surprise to look at Diao Chan who was pursing his lips and smiling behind Sima Yi, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What happened to him?" He scares you like that...... You castrated him? ”

"............" (To be continued......)
