Chapter 451: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
With the recovery of Nantun and the return of Song County, the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan fully retreated and returned to the line of Shangcai, Pingxing, Fengyang, Gushi and Ruyin, and half of the territory of Runan has returned to the hands of the official army.
Just when the majority of players in the imperial court camp were rejoicing and preparing to chase after the remnants, Cao Cao was promoted by an order from the imperial court!
Jinan phase! The position of the third product is quite good!
However, Jinan has now been fully recovered, and has been appointed and dismissed from various official positions by Kong Rong, and these official positions are all strangers, can Cao Cao go there and kill them, it will not become a rebellion! But if this situation is allowed to continue, what is the point of Cao Cao being the Jinan minister?
Cao Cao is very depressed, but Jinan is not without a place where you can use soldiers, that is Mount Tai, the Yellow Turban Army is entrenched in Mount Tai, if Cao Cao does not want to open the knife to the aliens in the imperial court camp, then he has to open the knife to the Yellow Turban thief in Mount Tai, but compared with Runan, Mount Tai seems to be very inconspicuous!
Cao Cao understands that he is being framed, and he will rise and fall secretly! What's more, as soon as he became famous, someone came out to step on him, and it seems that some people really can't see themselves out! Who is it? Could it be that Boss Yuan? Or Yuan Laoer?
Kong Rong is a very particular person, when he appointed the county governor of the three counties in the northwest, he deliberately vacated the county city, because he was not qualified to appoint the minister of state or the Taishou at the same level as himself, therefore, the county governor of Jinan Dongpingling is now in a state of no owner. However, it was entrusted by Fang Zhiwen to several player guilds in the form of trusteeship, and the income of the city during the trusteeship period was theirs, and they could also take the opportunity to install their own forces, but the only thing they couldn't do was to transfer the population.
Therefore, when Cao Cao led the 2,000 personal guards who were in a somewhat depressed mood to Dongpingling, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and thought it would be an empty city, but now it still looks like a pretty good city. Although the city is not full of traffic, it is also thriving, and there are many excited onlookers. This made the brothers who were not in a good mood laugh a lot.
It's just that they are still a little confused about their future...... Cao Cao did hold the position of Jinan Minister in history, but the situation at that time did not seem to be quite the same as it is now. At that time, Cao Cao was promoted because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban thieves on the battlefield in Runan, and he was promoted in the nature of a reward, and he served as the minister of Jinan, and for a considerable period of time, Cao Cao was relatively quiet."
As the foreign minister of the Qingzhou branch of the Tianxia Association, Lin Zhentu actually performed the duties of the interim mayor of Dongpingling, however, this position will be handed over from today, and Lin Zhentu originally planned to return to Beihai County, the town of the Tianxia Society. In this battle of Qingzhou Northwest, the Tianxiahui did not get new towns, on the one hand, there must be Kong Rong's scruples about the Tianxiahui at work, and on the other hand, the Tianxiahui did not deliberately fight.
The Tianxia Society already has three towns in Qingzhou. One is from the imperial court camp, the other is from the Yellow Turban camp, and more towns, to be honest, even big guilds like the Tianxia Association will feel pressure, both financially and talentedly. Don't think that there is no shortage of people in the players' guilds, and where talent is in short supply, it is a commodity.
Far away, Lin Zhentu, who was going to return after leaving office, was notified by the guild to stay and run a shop in Dongpingling, and by the way, as a liaison person and intelligence leader, he took root in Dongpingling, and tried every means to get on the line with Cao Cao.
And there are many people with the same purpose as Lin Zhentu, although everyone is a competitor from a certain point of view, but a certain aspect is also a partner in the exchange of intelligence, so these people gathered together at the first time to exchange opinions on the cause and effect of Cao Cao's appearance and the possibility of future development.
Compared with the Tianxiahui, which has no territory in Jinan, those players who have a territory in Jinan have much more attention to Cao Cao.
"Lao Lin, our data analyst has a different point of view, that Cao Cao's encounter is actually consistent with the encounter in history, and it is also a pattern of rising and falling, and more importantly, Cao Cao was transferred from the vicinity of Qian County, and he became bigger in his hometown in the province, so Cao Cao can be said to be suppressed in Jinan, so during this period of history, he was relatively silent, or depressed1
"Oh? If the center had this kind of plan, would Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, agree? ”
"The situation is stronger than people, so choosing to be promoted to wait for the future may be the maximum limit that can be fought for, after all, the Cao family's power in Beijing is not very good."
"There is also a certain amount of truth, if this is the case, Cao Cao should be a relatively low-key person, if he does not make a good fuss in Jinan and is caught, he may even be suppressed more severely1
"If this is the case, it is not us who will be the man with his tail between his legs, but Cao Cao1
"With your tail between your legs? Is Cao Cao that kind of person? I think Cao Cao will actively carry out cooperation with us, if there is a win-win opportunity, how can a person like Cao Cao easily let go? ”
The discussion of more than a dozen guild representatives in the room became more and more intense, and Lin Zhentu was also happy to be idle, and after throwing bricks and stones, he stretched out his ears to listen to everyone's words, so as to more accurately grasp Cao Cao's mentality and the thoughts of the player's forces.
"In fact, to put it bluntly, this year is all about strength to speak, if Cao Cao only relies on the current two thousand personal soldiers in his hands, it is impossible to climb to our head as a prestige, but the population of Dongpingling is nearly 300,000, if Cao Cao concentrates on developing strength, we will soon face Cao Cao's soldiers, don't forget, Cao Cao has Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers around him, and on the battlefield of Runan, the Yellow Turban camp players have no temper."
"Hehe, how is it compared to Lu Bu and Fang Zhiwen? These aborigines cherish their reputation. So there must be scruples in acting, as long as we occupy the name of righteousness and don't give them a handle, what can Cao Cao do to me? ”
"In any case, on the one hand, speed up the construction of your own towns, and on the other hand, try to improve the combat effectiveness of your troops, at least you can grasp the greater initiative in the dialogue with Cao Cao."
"Actually, we can also choose to destroy Cao Cao first1
"Idiot! Which guild are you? ”
"This guy got in. I don't recognize 1
"Haha...... Well, no kidding. Cao Cao's purpose in coming to Jinan was not to divide the locality, because he didn't have that title. And Jinan is not suitable for him to establish a territory here, so ...... Wait! How can you be sure that this is not a suitable site? ”
"Stupid! There is Yuan Shao in the north and Yanzhou in the west. The south is the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, and the east is the territory of Kong Rong, no matter how you look at it, they are all unfriendly neighbors, and Cao Cao lacks connections to establish a foundation here, so Cao Cao's idea of coming to Jinan is definitely not to establish a territory, or to wait for the opportunity to accumulate strength in a low-key manner, or to open a knife to the Yellow Turban Thief and take meritorious service 1
"Makes sense. You mean that we fully cooperate with Cao Cao? ”
"I think that we don't need to cooperate with Cao Cao, Cao Cao will naturally find ways to let us contribute to him, in fact. If possible, we should help the Yellow Turban Army fight Cao Cao, hoe the strong and help the weak1
"Hoe the strong and help the weak?! But Cao Cao doesn't want the territory, and the territory he has beaten is not ours? So, he will definitely tempt us with the ground, even if we can resist this temptation. But there are many people who can't resist it1
"But the rapid extinction of the Yellow Turban is not in our long-term interests, once the Yellow Turban is extinguished, the player forces of the Yellow Turban camp will inevitably become the target of Cao Cao's attack! Don't forget that Cao Cao has been in the position of Jinan Prime Minister for several years. ”
"This ...... While the representatives of the players' guild were guessing Cao Cao's plans and wondering what would be in their best interest, Cao Cao was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard of the mansion with several of his brothers, waiting for the people to clean up the house, and discussing future plans.
Among these three people, Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are brothers, and they can barely be regarded as Cao Cao's relatives, or fellow villagers, and the Xiahou family and the Cao family are both big clans in Qian County, so naturally there is some in-law relationship.
Among the three, Cao Ren was the youngest, only seventeen years old, followed by Xiahou Yuan, who was twenty-one years old, Xiahou Yuan was the eldest twenty-seven, and of course Cao Cao was even older, thirty-one.
Cao Cao's authority was not heavy at this time, and when there were no outsiders, these people called Cao Cao as the eldest brother, and they called each other cousins.
"Big brother, this Jinan country is now peaceful, but there are yellow turban thieves entrenched in Mount Tai in the south, should we recruit soldiers and actively prepare for war1
Xiahou Yuan's character is the most upright, loyal and righteous, and most valued by Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan Yunwen Yunwu, stable personality, is a general who can take charge of himself, and Cao Ren is still young, and now he is not able to use much, but his potential is still very good, and he is a typical all-round general.
The first person to speak every time he discusses a meeting is often Xiahoudun, who pursues the practice of not speaking presumptuously or concealing, and saying whatever he wants, which is reassuring.
"Yuan Rang, whether you want to fight the Yellow Turban Thief or not, recruiting soldiers is a must! Otherwise, how can this city be protected? Cao Cao replied with a smile, rubbing his thighs that were a little numb, and his body was still a little tired after hurrying.
"I also have to guard against inhuman 1 Cao Ren blinked, in this city, Cao Ren lacked a sense of security, so the awareness of prevention also began to rise, of course, it can't be said that Cao Ren's worries are unreasonable, but Cao Cao saw Cao Ren's character from it.
"Naturally, you need to be on guard 1, Cao Cao still responded with a smile.
In fact, a few people on the road may not have guessed about the situation of Dongpingling, but the actual situation is much better than they imagined, so Cao Cao feels that he should be able to enter the role faster.
"Big brother, instead of taking precautions, it seems that it should be used even more, now the entire Jinan country is a world of aliens, if it is not taken properly, it will be a big chaos."
"What Miao Cai said is very true! Therefore, it is not a good thing for my brother to find them a common enemy, otherwise they will always look at us, and we will be on guard every day.1
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and patted his beard proudly, and he actually patted a puff of dust, which made him cough a few times, it seems that before starting to show his ambitions, he should take a good wash!
"Ugh! Hehe, let's settle down first, the situation in Dongpingling is good now, and it is even more promising in the future, could it be that those people think that by sending me Cao Mengde here, they can trap me? 1
The Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of excitement and eagerness in each other's eyes, Cao Cao is a qualified leader, and with a casual word, he mobilized the fighting spirit of his subordinates, however, Jinan is indeed promising, Cao Cao already has a relatively clear plan for his future, not a territory, not just an army, but fame and a team! To be continued! ~!
