Chapter 22 Yangzhou Pastoral
Xu Du to Xiaopei, the straight-line distance is only 300 miles.
Therefore, yesterday Bai Tu only showed his merits, and today the angel has arrived!
At the court meeting, after Liu Xie asked Cao Cao's opinion, Cao Cao had a brain teaser and finally recommended Yangzhou......
First, Yuan Shu has been jumping too much recently, and if he doesn't step on him a few times, Cao Cao's soles are itchy, and even Liu Xie can't bear Yuan Shu anymore - his uncle Yuan Kui died because of anti-Dong, and the favorability left by this in Liu Xie's heart for the Yuan family has been defeated by Yuan Shu!
Secondly...... Cao Cao also wanted to divide the relationship between this unknown "Bai Tu" and his rival Lu Bu.
Although I don't know what the relationship between the two is, it doesn't delay Cao Cao to put them together.
It is said that for other princes, it is inevitable to lose the situation by dividing the other princes in this way, but Cao Cao has a good reason for Bai Tu - with Bai Tu's merits and fame, it is normal to be crowned a state pastor.
And after that, Cao Cao was still very vicious, and he easily let the "Fenwu General" Lu Bu take the position of "Pingyue Zhonglang General".
This is also reasonable, it is true that the mountains in Jiangdong have not been very honest recently, so what's wrong with inviting Lord Wenhou to go?
It's just that the combination of the two is more vicious - Pingyue Zhonglang will serve in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou Mu can theoretically control the military and politics of a state!
Other words...... According to the appointment of the imperial court, Bai Tu was the prefect of Lu Bu.
No matter what the relationship between the two of them was before, Cao Cao felt that if this appointment continued, Lu Bu would definitely be fried......
Lu Bu even killed two masters of his father-in-law, can he be willing to be under a great Confucian?
If they really dare to take office, this pair of Erzhou Mu and Zhonglang generals will definitely be able to fight more fiercely than Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan!
Of course, Cao Cao also understood that the most likely scenario was that Lu Bu didn't pay attention to him at all, and only Bai Tu took office alone.
But even so, at least the elusive combination of Bai Tu and Lu Bu has been dismantled, and what can a mere Confucian with only fame and knowledge do?
Kong Rong is also a great Confucian in the world, what is the result? It's not that he lost Beihai, fled back to his hometown in disgrace, and was recruited by himself to be a mascot......
After Liu Xie heard what Cao Cao said about "Yangzhou", he was stunned for a moment, and then fiercely agreed - obviously Yuan Shu's expansion, he still remembered!
Moreover, at the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Liu Xie, including all the ministers, thought that Bai Tu was the Taishou of Peijun sealed by Cao Cao, so it was natural to think that this was a signal that Cao Cao was going to fight with Yuan Shu.
After the Great Dynasty Meeting, Kong Rong's ministers gradually understood from all sides - co-authoring Bai Tu was not Cao Cao's person at all!
It's just that now that everyone is in Xudu, it's not good to accuse Cao Cao of something because of this.
After all, nominally, no matter who sealed the white map, it was Hanchen, and there was not much difference......
It was only last night that Cao Cao completely figured out who Bai Tu was - a young man in his early twenties, and when Liu Bei was on the table, he naturally wrote the basic information of Bai Tu.
When he first learned about this, Cao Cao was also stunned, he was just a white-bearded old man who had been making up for a long time!
However, this did not affect his plans......
So there is an angel who came to Xiaopei today and canonized Yangzhou Mu and Pingyue Zhonglang General.
And this angel is not a nameless person, it is Kong Rong, a great Confucian and a descendant of Confucius!
It was he who begged Cao Cao and took the initiative to canonize Bai Tu, and hoped to follow Bai Tu to improve "Cut Rhyme" in the future.
At this time, Kong Rong had no obvious hostility towards Cao Cao, and even had some respect, not only honorifically called "Ming Gong", but also compared Cao Cao with "Zhou Gong" when admonishing.
Although Kong Rong didn't really regard Cao Cao as a great and virtuous person like Duke Zhou, at least he expected that Cao Cao could target Duke Zhou.
However, a few years later, Kong Rong realized that Cao Cao not only didn't want to be the Duke of Zhou, but even Huo Guang couldn't satisfy him, and when he wanted to be Wang Mang, he began to oppose Cao Cao everywhere, and even in order to attack Cao Cao's ruling foundation, he did not hesitate to openly make some remarks that violated filial piety, and was finally executed by Cao Cao......
Now Cao Cao agrees that he will come to Bai Tu, but to some extent, he has saved his whole family!
If it was Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, he might not be able to enter Xiaopei after a few months, but Kong Rong played the sign of an angel, and he only had a small number of entourage.
Therefore, Lu Bu didn't make it difficult for him, and directly invited him into the city - this was also expected by Chen Gong yesterday, and Xu would not be without a reaction!
When Kong Rong saw Bai Tu, even if he had already known from Cao Cao and Lu Bu before, Bai Tu's true age was still stunned for a long time.
Like Cao Cao, Kong Rong also made a white picture before, imagining that he was a Confucianist who was older than himself!
Bai Tu saw Kong Rong and looked at it a few more times, but at this time, his face was a little reluctant-Yangzhou Mu? Yes, I was nominally promoted, but ...... Is it his turn to shepherd Yangzhou?
"Lujun Kong Rong, on behalf of thousands of students in the world, Mr. Xie Bai is very gracious." Kong Rong was stunned for a short time, then got up and saluted Bai Tu.
Bai Tu also looked at Kong Rong carefully at this time, this person who can be said to be the person he has seen so far who is dressed most like a "Han Dynasty Doctor", from clothing to hair crown and hair beard, he is meticulously cared for.
It is said that this is normal, but in this abnormal world, normal Kong Rong is precious!
And Bai Tu couldn't be clearer, don't look at Kong Rong as a descendant of Confucius, and he looks very serious, but he is by no means a corrupt Confucian, on the contrary...... Kong Rong's bookseller is very angry, or he is a very subjective and emotional person.
Later generations everyone knows the story of "Kong Rong makes pears", which can be described as a representative of the way of filial piety, however, ...... If the historical context continues, Kong Rong will issue "father and son have no relatives, lust is outspoken; Mother to son, things in a bottle".
Directly trampling on the core of filial piety - even if Bai Tu is not used to being foolish, filial piety and loyalty, but it is also difficult to agree with the crazy demonic remarks.
And the reason why Kong Rong has this change is not because he went crazy, but because Cao Cao was advocating filial piety at that time, so Kong Rong, who recognized Cao Cao's true face, began to have no brains about what Cao Cao advocated......
Seeing Kong Rong saluting to himself, Bai Tu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Kong is polite, Tu just looked at those who didn't have a book to read...... And the children who can't bathe and educate are just unbearable to do some trivial things. ”
Kong Rong was even more moved when he heard this, while Lu Lingqi on the side pouted, no matter how he heard it, he didn't feel like he was modest!
"Mr. Bai is righteous! Rong admires ...... His Majesty also learned that Mr. Feng Bai was in charge of Yangzhou, but he was ...... Now that Yangzhou is in turmoil, His Majesty also said that if the road is blocked, Mr. can come to the court first, and he is willing to work with Mr. to improve this "Cut Rhyme" first. Kong Rong said.
"No, no, no, in that case, how can Tu watch the people of Yangzhou suffer? Even though there are many difficulties and dangers, I have General Lu to accompany me......"
"Humph!"
Bai Tu immediately refused, no matter how bad Yangzhou was, it was better than going under Cao Cao's nose.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Bu interrupted, seeing Lu Bu's indignant appearance, Bai Tu was a little confused.
And Kong Rong actually saw Cao Cao's strategy before, but in his opinion, Bai Tu should be the same as himself, a Confucian who is dedicated to studying knowledge, and it would be good to draw a line with a tiger and wolf like Lu Bu earlier, so he didn't say much.
At this time, he also said in a timely manner: "General Lu and Mr. Bai may have something to say, if you have pain in your lower abdomen, go and rest first." ”
