Li Dian turned to leave.

Cao Cao's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Settle the people from Chang'an, eat and drink well." Don't be lazy. ”

Li Dian said: "Lord, just that kid alone. There is no retinue. ”

"Alone." Cao Cao was surprised.

In the chaos, a child can actually go from Chang'an to Luoyang? Cao Cao suddenly had a strong interest in Li Zhongyong.

When Li Dian brought Li Zhongyong into the main hall, Cao Cao was taken aback.

Cao Cao believes that the child Li Dian said is at least sixteen or seventeen years old. Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyong was even younger than he imagined, only in his teens.

Cao Cao said secretly: "Brother Yanzhi's heart is really big enough. I actually asked a child to deliver the letter. The next time you see him, be sure to talk to him. ”

Li Zhongyong saw that Cao Cao was not stage frightened at all, but behaved steadily. He hugged his fists and said, "Boy Li Zhongyong, I have seen General Cao." I was ordered by my family teacher to send a letter to General Cao. ”

Cao Cao saw that Li Zhongyong was calm and relaxed, and he was quite temperamental, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Li is worthy of being a disciple of Brother Yanzhi. Cao is really curious, how did Brother Yan Zhi teach such an outstanding disciple as you? I don't know how your master has been doing lately. ”

Li Zhongyong said: "General Cao has won the award, the kid is mediocre, and he has not learned the surface of the master's skills. My master is very good. General Cao, this is an epistle. ”

Li Zhongyong took out the letter, and Cao Cao took it.

Opening the bamboo slip and reading the contents of the letter, Cao Cao was shocked and said in horror: "After five years, Brother Yan Zhi wants to give the power of Chang'an to Cao?" Let me personally welcome the emperor back to the Luoyang Palace? ”

Li Zhongyong was equally surprised in his heart.

He really didn't know that Master actually wanted to give the forces of the Xiliang Army to Cao Cao. With the prestige and ability of the master, wouldn't it be better to control the court by yourself?

Li Zhongyong couldn't understand what Master was thinking in his heart. However, he firmly believes that Master must have a reason to do this.

It's just that I didn't understand it thoroughly.

Cao Cao asked, "Brother Yanzhi's words, but is it true?" ”

Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "I don't know." However, my master cultivates the path of sincerity, and he will not tell lies. ”

Cao Cao was not an ordinary person after all, he took a few deep breaths and stabilized his mind. When Chen Yanzhi left, he said that he would give Cao Cao a big gift, but he didn't expect that this "big gift" would be so heavy.

Five years later, can Cao Cao control the court?

Thinking of the authority of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", Cao Cao's heart suddenly became lively.

Cao Cao said to Li Dian: "Man Cheng, little brother Li went all the way to Luoyang, sleeping in the open air, physically and mentally exhausted. Take him down to rest first. ”

Li Dian said respectfully: "Yes, lord." ”

Wait until Li Dian and Li Zhongyong leave the main hall.

Cao Cao shouted: "Someone." Please invite Xun Yu and Guo Jia to come to the main hall to discuss matters. ”

……………………

Xun Yu is proficient in government affairs and is very good at logistics.

Guo Jia's military talent made Cao Cao admire.

With the help of the two of them, Cao Cao took charge of the entire Luoyang, which was a lot easier. Now Cao Cao has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

50,000 soldiers and horses cannot be compared with the power of the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others. But compared with Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng, Kong Rong and others, it is not bad at all.

Cao Cao is a figure that cannot be ignored among the major princes. The main reason is that Cao Cao's power is growing too fast. You must know that just one year after the princes of the eighteen towns begged for Dong, Cao Cao already had 50,000 soldiers and horses. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were wary of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao handed Chen Yanzhi's letter to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

After the two finished reading, Cao Cao asked, "You say, what did Chen Yanzhi pay attention to?" He said that he would give the power of Chang'an to Cao in five years, can he take it seriously? Fengxiao, you talk about it first. ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia are both extremely smart characters with a deep state of mind.

Guo Jia coughed, picked up the wine gourd on his waist, took a sip of wine, and said, "Lord, whether what Chen Yanzhi said is true or not, we don't have to care. Our top priority is to improve our own strength. Yuan Shao is fighting in the east and west, and his soldiers are strong and strong, if he sweeps away the threats around him, he will attack you. As for what the letter says, in five years, we won't know. ”

Guo Jia is free and easy, and can see the essence clearly. Even if what Chen Yanzhi said was true, if Cao Cao didn't have the ability to control the imperial court, it would be useless.

Xun Yu said: "Lord, what kind of person is Chen Yanzhi? Is he really as good as the rumors say? We don't know Chen Yanzhi and can't judge his character and style. However, people who don't love power are the first time their subordinates have seen them. ”

Cao Cao was silent for a while and said, "What kind of person is Chen Yanzhi?" Cao couldn't see through him. If I really want to describe him, I think he is a ...... Sage. Our planting technology and iron smelting technology are all provided by Brother Yanzhi. ”

"Saint?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked stunned and glanced at each other.

Is there really a saint in the world?

…………………………

Night. Cao Cao hosted a banquet for Li Zhongyong. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Li Dian, Xiahou Brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others accompanied.

Li Zhongyong was only a teenager, but Cao Cao didn't really treat him as a child. can replace Chen Yanzhi to send a letter to Luoyang, no matter how young he is, he is not a simple person.

Li Zhongyong has excellent insight and extraordinary conversation, and his intelligence has reached the level of an adult. The state of mind is profound, compared with Xun Yu Guo Jia, it is not bad at all.

Following Chen Yanzhi's study, Li Zhongyong is indeed knowledgeable, but some knowledge is known, but he has not yet formed his own things. Because some life perceptions need Li Zhongyong to experience and experience them himself.

Li Zhongyong didn't say much, but every time he said it, it was something to say. Li Zhongyong remembered his master's teachings, and the vast majority of people who talk a lot are clever words.

Too much talk can make you lose it all.

Li Zhongyong didn't want to be like that.

Cao Cao praised: "Little Brother Li is really talented and intelligent. Gu Ganluo, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that. ”

Li Zhongyong said with a smile: "General Cao has won the award. I'm not Ganro. ”

Li Zhongyong does not think that he is worse than Ganluo. And he didn't want to be Ganro.

Gan Luo is twelve years old and extremely intelligent, but unfortunately his mind is immature, he does things without measure, and he expresses himself too much. In the end, he was executed by King Qin at a young age, and he was not allowed to die well.

Li Zhongyong should take this as a warning.

……………………

Chang'an City, Cai Mansion.

Chen Yanzhi, Cai Yong, and Cai Yan are eating.

Cai Yong was suddenly shocked by Chen Yanzhi's words and dropped the chopsticks in his hand: "Yanzhi, what did you say?" You plan to let Cao Mengde take charge of the government in five years. What the hell do you think? ”

Chen Yanzhi ate the dishes and said calmly, "Master, that's exactly what I meant. Cao Cao has great courage and does things fairly. Let him take charge of the government, and the life of the people will definitely be better than now. Otherwise, who will be in charge of the government. Li Dao Guo Yan of the Western Liang Army? Or those incompetent civil officials in the court? ”

Cai Yong said: "Isn't there still you?" With your ability, why not be in charge of the government? Why is it very cheap for him Cao Mengde? ”

Chen Yanzhi said: "Master, within ten years, a disciple will not be an official. I want to train those 100 disciples to become talents. They are seeds. With them, my Yanhuang Huaxia clan will be stronger. ”

Power, wealth, fame, all are empty. As long as the Han people give birth to enough talents, they can ensure the strength of the ethnic group. With talent and wisdom, power and wealth are at your fingertips.

It's like Chen Yanzhi now.

Therefore, Chen Yanzhi attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents. His hundred disciples are more important than being in charge of the court. Chen Yanzhi's vision has long been beyond the shackles of fame and fortune. His state of mind and the height of his thoughts are beyond the reach of very people.
