So the next day, the Cao family held another meeting to discuss and answer Xu You's question, and everyone discussed it, but they still insisted on their own words. However, because of Xun Yu's letter yesterday, there are relatively more people who advocate postponing the march of the army - after all, no one is sure that they will be able to completely pacify Youzhou and destroy the Yuan clan before the year.

Shixun is still the same as yesterday, holding his hands, hanging his head, and not moving. Cao Cao listened to a large circle of opinions, and finally pointed at Shixun: "What did Hongfu say?" After a pause, he added: "Are you still afraid that 'wildfires will not burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate'?" ”

Shi Xun slowly raised his head and said word by word: "Xu Ziyuan came to visit last night. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao pretended to hear the news for the first time, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "How did Ziyuan say Qing?" "It's Xun Xin who said that your expression is a bit fake, but anyone who didn't return to Cao Ying on the first day knows that you have a strong ability to control your subordinates, Xu You swaggered to me, even if I don't report, don't you know? When I came to the secret business yesterday, I didn't open my mouth yet, so you first asked: "Wenzi went to see Hongfu from afar, but didn't you say Qinghu?" "That's the normal attitude.

He had already prepared some rhetoric, and immediately waved at Cao Cao: "Xu Ziyuan wanted to say that Xun was lenient with Yuan, but Xun was hindered by Xun, but when Xun was talking to him, he knew that Yuan Shao was depressed, weak and vomiting blood, and I was afraid that he would soon die in the world." Yuan Shao does not set up an heir, Yuan Tan is the longest, and drives away other counties, Yuan Shang is young, but he is in the inside, Guo Tu and Xiao Ji have their own attachments, then once Shao dies, the two sons will fight - Yuan's not stop the wildfire to burn its stems and leaves, that is, the roots are rotten, and there is no revival. Although Ran Xun did not worry about Yuan. There are still ...... worries about him."

Cao Cao twisted his beard: "What is Hongfu worried about? It can be said clearly. ”

Shi Xun nodded, turned his face and looked around at everyone: "Youzhou is vast." Thousands of miles from east to west, Yuan's base, but the three counties of Zhuo, Dai and Guangyang. Liu He and Xian Yufu are in Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, there are Wuhuan in western Liaoning, Gongsun in eastern Liaoning, and Goguryeo has coveted Lelang for a long time. If I rush forward, I am afraid that they will not be at ease, and they will be united. If you want to settle down, it will be protracted, and the grain will be difficult to continue. If you slow down, you will be contentious. Why didn't the lord allow Yuan Shao for the time being, divide the troops to settle the plan, and wait for it to change, and then attack it. It can be decided in one fell swoop. ”

His plan was copied from Guo Jiaping's plan in Jizhou. At that time, Yuan Shao was already dead, Cao Cao marched to Liyang, defeated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers, and all the generals asked to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao loves these two sons, and Mo Shili is also." There are Guo Tu and Xiao Ji as advisers. They will fight and be separated. If you are in a hurry, you will hold on to each other, and then you will fight for it. It is better to go south to Jingzhou if Liu Biao is recruited, so as to wait for it to change; It becomes and then hits, and it can be decided in one fell swoop. ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangben are half-brothers. As soon as the external pressure is reduced, they will immediately fight. What's more, what about the many forces in Youzhou today? Although Shi Xun said "If I rush forward, I am afraid that they will not be at ease, and they will be together", in fact, he really didn't take those guys to heart - the Yuan family will definitely resist Cao, and the three counties Wuhuan Bacheng will still be next to the Yuan family like the original history, but Liu He and Xian Yufu may directly return to the imperial court, as for Gongsun Du and Goguryeo, it is too far away, as long as they don't take the initiative to fight them, they will not send troops to the west. But the problem is that if we want to completely destroy Yuan Shao and then pacify Wu Huan, the more than two months by the end of the year may not be enough.

So, what if you pretend to obey Yuan Shao's request for peace and postpone the march? The Yuan family must fight Liu and them first, so as to expand their power and gain a firm foothold in Youzhou. At that time, "the Wuhuan cavalry is brave and not easy to be defeated, so why not first decide to merge the state and serve the Huns, that is, to collect the Hu cavalry to deserve it, but it can be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Shi-hoon's words were reasonable, and they did sound like that—it was a pretext he had come up with in the middle of the night—and the room fell silent, and everyone was in deep thought, and the originally determined attackers were speechless for the time being. Cao Cao took this opportunity, and he didn't allow the ministers to think about it, so he immediately slapped the table: "What Hongfu said is very good." In this way, it is possible to become a friend for the time being. ”

Since the boss has set the tone, although some ministers have grievances in their hearts, they can't say anything more. So he summoned Xu You and put forward three conditions, which were to allow Yuan Shao to ask for peace: first, the Son of Heaven asked for guilt and returned the general's seal - this was originally Yuan's bargaining chip for peace; second, Yuan Shao sent a son to Beijing as a hostage; Third, the pawn of the army is equivalent to opening the gate of Youzhou, indicating that he will no longer dare to resist Wang Shi by force.

Xu Yu all agreed, thanked him and left. However, Cao Cao refused to withdraw for the time being, and he had to wait for the Yuan family to send the hostages first. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the generals were dispatched to the counties and countries of Dingji and Yingerzhou, and immediately appointed Xiahou Lian as the minister of Zhongshan and Yu Ban as the minister of Hejian, and stationed troops and horses on the border line of Youzhou to monitor them.

Ten days later, the Yuan family sent Xin Ping to come, and at the same time sent Yuan Shao's last son, Yuan Mai. Yuan Maizi Xianyong, only fifteen years old, although Yuan Shao liked the youngest son very much, and in the original history, Yuan Shao once because Yuan Mai was sick and had no intention of attacking the back road of the Cao family when Cao Cao was conquering Liu Bei in Xuzhou. "But when it comes to this part, Yuan Tan is the eldest son, Yuan Shang is the most favored, and there are big votes behind him, Yuan Xi went to Youzhou first, and he is considered a half-pulled snake, which is not willing to go to Xu Du as a hostage for the benefit of the family, Yuan Shao had no choice but to send Yuan Mai.

According to the historical records, Yuan Mai later followed Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang into exile in Liaodong, but then Gongsun Du killed the Yuan brothers and sent Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's ranks to Xudu, but Yuan Mai was not mentioned at all. So Yuan Shao's bloodline may not have been cut off - it is Xun Xin who said that it is difficult to say this time, if Cao Cao wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in the future, you are in Xudu, can you still run?

After receiving Yuan Mai, Cao Cao set off to return to Yecheng. Then he stayed in Ye for a few more days, and then beat the drum of victory, sang the song of "and Zhuang should be the marquis", and triumphantly returned to Xudu.

When Cao Cao was in Yecheng, there was such a trivial incident. It is said that one day, Cao Cao feasted the ministers, and he was happy for a while, so he said to Cui Yan: "Yesterday, according to the household registration, 300,000 people can be obtained, and Jizhou is a big state." ”

I think I just won Yecheng that day. Cao Cao played the Son of Heaven, and on the one hand, he separated Yingzhou. On the one hand, he invited himself to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, turned his face, and recruited Cui Yan to do something else, so that he was actually in charge of Jizhou's affairs. However, the "Jizhou" mentioned by Cao Cao in this time is still the old Jizhou, and the new Yingzhou has not been excluded - the entire Jizhou has more than 600,000 households and a population of more than 4 million. Two households are counted for one military service, so there is a saying of "300,000 people".

Cao Cao was very happy, but Cui Yan was not happy when he heard this, stood up and took a deep look, and retorted: "Today it will fall apart, Kyushu will be divided, and the Yuan clan will be raging. Ji Fang steamed the tyrannical bone field. I haven't heard Wang Shiren's voice go first, ask about customs, save it, and school plan soldiers, only this is the first, how can the scholars and girls of Si Zhou look forward to Ming Gongzai! "Something to the effect of. Jizhou has just been burned by the military, and the people want to live and work in peace and contentment, you don't study the civil affairs issue first, but calculate the number of military service with there, is this what our people in Jizhou expect?

Cao Cao heard this. His face couldn't help but sink, and he didn't have time to react. Next to him, Xun stood up first, and he slammed the ruins of the magpie and the concave essence of the search for the round seal = epilepsy and pregnancy treatment of the emulsion, the joy of the street, the punishment of the prostitute, the history of the prostitute, the wish of the pregnancy value, the card of the obscurity, the sprout, the pantom, the pantom, the slash, the first cup, the Yu Yu Road, the straight collapse, the fat Xin dizziness, the pretense of the Rong Lu, Zheng Iyuan, the cutting of the scar, the samarium, the samarium, the use of the mustache, the beard, the suffocation, the sorrow For example, Bing Jizhi asked Niu Ye, Si is general, but it is a pity that his brother does not know 1

Bing Ji is the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty when Emperor Xuan, it is said that he went out of the city once, on the road to see a group of fights, ignore it, see an old cow panting, but quickly get out of the car to ask the cattle herder for a long time. He later explained to his subordinates that as the prime minister, his duty was to assist the Son of Heaven, manage yin and yang, and take care of major affairs. In the matter of group fights, Chang'an Ling is responsible for it; The weather is not too hot, there are cows, I am afraid that the weather is not right, it will affect the autumn harvest, this is what the prime minister should take care of. Later generations have commented that Bing Ji is a person who knows the general situation.

Therefore, Shi Xun took Bing Ji as an example, saying that Cao Cao was a general, and calculating military service was his own job. Although Cao Cao is now serving as the pastor of Jizhou, this is just a fictitious part-time job, and the actual power is not all handed over to you as a different driver? The civil affairs of Jizhou, you are in charge, why are you still bothering Cao Cao?

In fact, Cao Cao and Cui Yan's question and answer were also born in the original time and space, but it was delayed for a few years. According to historical records, as soon as Cui Yan said this, Cao Cao immediately "changed his appearance and thanked him" and apologized to him. However, when Xun Qianshi read this account, he was very unimpressed. When Cao Cao first took Jizhou, the Yuan brothers were still in Youzhou, there were Sun Quan and Liu Biao in the south, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west, and Liu Zhang in the southwest. Can you use Cui Yan and the full mouth of benevolence and morality here to remind Cao Cao to pay attention to people's livelihood? Cao Cao's achievements in people's livelihood, isn't that 10,000 times stronger than you?

Since the Yuan Emperor abandoned the hegemony of the Yuan Emperor and purely served as a moral religion, Wang Mang worshiped Confucianism later, and when he arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was basically the domination of Confucianism. Confucianism has the progress of Confucianism, but there are also many shortcomings, the biggest problem is that it talks about benevolence and righteousness, has no effect on government, and cultivates a large number of useless bureaucrats who still think they have high morals. Shi Xun has always been the most disgusted with this kind of goods, he said in his heart Senior Brother Cui, you have been following Teacher Zheng for a long time, Teacher Zheng is not only talking about the scriptures, but also doing a lot of practical things after becoming a big Si Nong, how did you come here, before the matter has started, let the leader explain the big truth?

So he couldn't help but stand up and refute Cui Yan. When Cui Yan heard this, his face turned red, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of any suitable words for a while, and he was really embarrassed. Seeing this scene, Cao Cao hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "What Qing and others said is also reasonable, it is for the country, and I will pay tribute to the two monarchs." "Grab your glass. Shi Xun and Cui Yan hurriedly thanked him, toasted Cao Cao with a glass of wine, and then sat down separately.

As soon as Shi Xun glanced at it, he saw that Cui Yan's face was still quite ugly, and his teeth were clenched, full of resentment. He couldn't help but feel a little remorseful - didn't he always be kind to others? Why was he so excited today that Cui Yan couldn't get off the stage in front of the public? Look at his virtue, his heart should not be broad enough, and this hatred is over.

But think about it again, let's make a feud, anyway, according to the original historical trajectory, Cui Yan will eventually die under Cao Cao's knife. Besides, the Qinghe Cui family is also a famous surname, and the power of the four surnames of "Cui Lu Wang Zheng" in the north during the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted until the middle of the Tang Dynasty before gradually weakening. Although that Cui is Boling Cui, God knows that Qinghe and Boling are really two families or two families? Anyway, as a local surname, sooner or later he will be the target of his own attack, so even if I offend him in advance, what do I have to regret?!
