Chapter 114: Tell Us

School Affairs is a very mysterious organization in the Cao Army.

This organization is theoretically a group of gendarmes who maintain military discipline, picketing special soldiers in the army. But Cao Jun's enemies were too many, and the investigation of school affairs was very useful, so Cao Cao gave more power to this position, and the power of school affairs began to expand.

But the problem is that Cao Cao has not been able to solve the problem of choosing the person at the helm of the school affairs department.

No one wants to be watched, and those who sit in this position are easily attacked by the crowd, and they have to be absolutely loyal, intelligent, and secretive. Cao Jun was already unorthodox, and with such a large amount of power, it was easy to fill his own pockets to crack down on dissidents and not do his job, so he had to be even more cautious in such a position.

At that time, Guo Jia secretly commanded the school affairs as a military sacrificial wine, visited the anti-Cao, assassinated the enemy, and collected information everywhere in an orderly manner, as if he was an unpredictable prophet. But after Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao has not been able to find a suitable commander of school affairs, and this time the southern expedition simply dumped this job to Cao Ren, who was born in the city, and asked him to supervise the security of Jiangling.

Cao Ren used his powerful big brother aura to suppress a group of lawbreakers in Jiangling City and successfully completed part of the task, but his ability in this area also ended here.

How to know the specific arrangement of Sun Liu in Jingzhou? How many people are there in Zhou Yu now? Is Sun Quan currently preparing for the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition? How is Liu Bei's battle going? What about Guan Yu, Le Jin, and Xu Huang?

In the past, Guo Jia was best at finding out some unnoticed information from a bunch of redundant intelligence, and judging the enemy's movements like fortune telling. Cao Ren knew that he did not possess this ability at all, and after a little thought, he decided to subcontract this job to his most loyal guard, Chang Diao.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing that Cao Ren trusts him so much, but Chang Diao also knows that he is not this material at all, if he can't make achievements, not only will he not be rewarded, but he will also have to be punished heavily, which is very bad.

He thought about it, but he could only find a dark and windy night and sneaked into Xu Shu's mansion.

Before Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, he originally wanted to take Xu Shu with him, but he didn't expect that Xu Shu was seriously injured by Chang Diao before leaving, and he could only throw him in Jiangling to recuperate. This allowed Xu Shu to perfectly avoid the defeat of Cao Jun, and he was really leisurely for a while, Chang Diao also avoided Guan Ping's outlaw interception early thanks to Xu Shu's guidance, which made the relationship between the two quite tacit now.

That night, Chang Diao carried two pieces of stinky bacon into Xu Shu's house, and humbly asked Xu Shu about school affairs.

In order to avoid Cao Cao's Eastern Crusade, Xu Shu really took the bitter trick to the extreme, and now he is still scarred, like a sneaky soul sucked dry in the faint light of the lonely lamp, his eyes are cold, and he stares at Chang Diao a little weakly.

"Giant Eagle believes me?"

"Of course I believe in Xu Gong!"

Of course, Chang Diao was not stupid enough to fully believe Xu Shu.

Xu Shu commanded himself to flee before, and obviously had no loyalty to Cao Jun at all, but what does this have to do with Chang Diao.

The injuries on Xu Shu's body were beaten by him, but Xu Shu asked him to beat, indicating that Xu Shu believed him.

Xu Shu, who has experienced the pain of disillusionment and the loss of his mother, is now a little abnormal, Chang Diao insists that he is doing a good deed and helping Xu Shu heal the pain in his heart.

After staring at each other for a long time, Xu Shu finally showed a frank smile.

This time, he laughed quite elegantly, faintly making people feel a little sincere.

"Okay." Xu Shu's thin fingers rubbed lightly on the dirty and tattered table in front of him, he gulped in the air full of the smell of blood and herbs, and said calmly, "Does the giant eagle want to be an official?" โ€

"Yes!"

"Well, to be an official is either knowledgeable or brave. Giant Eagle, what do you have? โ€

You owe a beating, don't you......

The muscles on Chang Diao's face twitched frantically a few times.

He has no knowledge, and his martial arts are not bad, but he definitely has nothing to do with Yongzi, Xu Shu is disgusting to himself.

Xu Shu smiled indifferently:

"If you don't have knowledge and no martial arts, then you have to curry favor with Shangguan, make friends, and let everyone say good things about you, so that you can rise step by step. Even if you don't have the ability to fight, you can still be a general! โ€

"This," Chang Diao was excited, but then he thought of something, "This, what does this have to do with school affairs?" โ€

"Of course it does." Xu Shu said calmly, "Now Cao Jun ...... Uh, who is the commander of Jingzhou in our army? โ€

"Of course, it's General Zixiao......"

"Think again?"

"Ugh." Chang Diao slapped his thigh suddenly, "Thank you Xu Gong for your advice!" โ€

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and slowly bowed his head, and praised:

"You can teach."

Dangyang's full favor has been trying to meet Cao Ren, after seeing Cao Jun's victory, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Lejin of the good news, hoping that Lejin can hurry up to the south, open up the connection with Jiangling, and then completely crush Jiangdong's invasion plan.

After receiving the letter, Ke Lejin could only complain repeatedly, saying that it was really not that he was unwilling to rescue Cao Ren, but that the objective situation did not allow it.

The eastern suburb of Yangyang, an island in Han Shui on the eastern side of Da Hyeon Mountain (the Han River changed lanes, and the location of Cai Zhou is now no longer in the Han River, but on the east bank of the Han River). This island is all Cai Mao's family, Cai Mao's power was not damaged when Cao's army was defeated in Chibi, he replaced the soldiers, and still kept 40,000 extremely warlike sailors, guarding the Hanshui area, and even after Cao Cao fled back to Xiangyang from Jiangling, he hurriedly sent people to appease Cai Mao, for fear that Cai Mao would be stolen by Cai Mao when he crossed the river to the north.

If the army pours out of the nest and goes out of the waterway, if Le Jin is Cai Mao, he can't help but take Xiangyang down from behind.

It's not afraid of Cai Mao by land, but Le Jin has already tried, and if he himself leaves Xiangyang City a little, there will definitely be a barbarian rebellion.

Le Jin is not even afraid of Guan Yu when he goes south and north, and the strategy of rebellion is generally to kill and wash those barbarian villages.

But Xiangyang is full of mountains, and a few flat lands are occupied by several wealthy clans, Le Jin endures his temper and can only persuade these wealthy clans to give way a little, and those rebellious barbarians have long hid in the mountains.

Ma Liang, an expert who studies barbarians, said that the barbarians in Xiangyang have been stable and improving, and it is not a way to attack them, and the most important thing for the barbarians is small favors, as long as they benefit them from time to time, it will not take a few years for them to respectfully bow to the power of the Han Dynasty and become loyal servants of the Han Dynasty.

Well, it's hard to say for a few years, anyway, this year is enough to choke, unless you increase your efforts to benefit Yi, send them money and things, and have to endure the provocations of those barbarians from time to time.

Le Jin was about to kneel down for these barbarians, and he couldn't form effective support at all.

And at this moment, he received another letter that added fuel to the fire-

The content of the letter is very simple, Cao Zhi said that he is ready to send troops to break Guan Yu's block, it doesn't matter if Le Jin doesn't send troops, he Cao Zhi and Man Zhong are enough to defeat Guan Yu, and Le Jin just needs to give some food money.

"Bastard thing! Nonsense! โ€

Le Jin confirmed that Cao Zhi had definitely not discussed this matter with Man Chong.

Full of favors, both civil and military, and flexible in combat, it is not impossible for him to fight with Guan Yu, but with the burden of Cao Zhi, the difficulty of combat has increased a lot.

Cao Zhi's arrogance between the lines was very uncomfortable to look at, and his silence was like blowing his nose with the letter.

After thinking about it, he still decided to call his close adviser Ma Liang to ask first.

Recently, Ma Liang and Le Jin have been fighting hotly, Le Jin has no culture, those scribes in the Central Plains have always despised him, Ma Liang is good at communicating with barbarians, naturally he will not despise Le Jin, and he also handed over the demeanor of many wealthy families to Le Jin, so that Le Jin admires him a lot.

He spread out the letter in front of Ma Liang and looked at the white-eyed young man with an eager face:

"Look, what kind of bullshit is this Cao Zhi wrote!"

After reading Cao Zhi's letter, Ma Liang also showed a trace of disdain on his face:

"It seems that he doesn't get along well with Tanzhi."

Cao Zhi only mentioned Yunshan in the letter, and the others praised a captain named Huo Jun, and sketched a rather beautiful blueprint - Lejin and food and weapons, and leave everything else to him Cao Zhi.

"What does the general think?" Ma Liang asked with a smile.

"Huh." Le Jin laughed disdainfully, with a slight trace of worry on his face, "If it's someone else, I'll persuade him to fight with Guan Yunchang." But he is the son of Cao Gong, or the most favored son, if he dies, I can only plead guilty, how can there be any good life?

I am going to reply to him, and tell him to either hurry back or obey Tanzhi's dispatch, and not to fight and die. โ€

"What if he is killed by Cai Mao?"

"No, it doesn't. In the end, it is in Jingzhou, as long as he is dead, in the end, I will bear the blame. โ€

Ma Liang smiled and said: "Does that mean that if Cao Zhi makes meritorious service in Jingzhou, the credit is also the general's?" โ€

"That's nature." Le Jin said, "Even if he takes the credit alone, will the prime minister believe it?" โ€

"Isn't that easy." Ma Liang said confidently, "Wouldn't it be okay for Cao Zhi to defeat Guan Yu?" โ€

Lejin: ......

What if Guan Yu doesn't cooperate?

Ma Liang said patiently:

"The general doesn't know how to fight this battle, of course, it depends on the three armies to fight, but at the same time, we must also consider the writing of this battle report.

The words "chop", "level", "fixed", and "divided" can never be used, but can it not be used to break, strike, beg, and levy? We fought hard, there was no merit and hard work, and I believe that Guan Yu would not be embarrassed by us. โ€

Obedient and obedient, Le Jin is not a fool, he heard Ma Liang's words clearly want to make himself unable to work, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"Nonsense!" He grabbed Ma Liang's collar, and wanted to lift him up immediately, "The prime minister entrusted me with a big event, if I don't fight, Jingzhou will be in danger!" Thou shalt teach me with good counsel, why teach me such tricks! โ€

Le Jin's eyes widened angrily, his face was full of hideousness, and he wanted to swallow Ma Liang in one gulp, but Ma Liang was not afraid, but smiled more and more gently:

"What is the General's current position?"

"This general is the Great Han Xiangyang Taishou, General Zhichong, and Guangchang Pavilion Marquis!"

"Oh, then humble excuse me, Xiangyang Taishou or Jingzhou Mu, which is the official who guards Jingzhou?

Which of the generals Zhechong, the generals of Zhengnan, and the generals of Zhennan is the chief general who supervised the rebellion in Jingzhou? โ€

Le Jin snorted coldly: "I, Le Jin, am a person who is a small person, and the court entrusts me with a big event, and you are separated by this matter, can you say that I do this ghostly thing?" Ji Chang also underestimated me! โ€

Ma Liang laughed and said:

"Well, I really didn't misunderstand the general, but that's why I have to convince the general to listen to me.

This is my wish in common with Tanyuki. โ€

"Tanzhi?" Le Jin had a very good impression of Guan Ping, and put down Ma Liang casually, but his face was still gloomy, "Tell me, if you can't tell a good one, be careful that I turn my face and don't recognize people!" โ€
