"What my father said is very true."

Cao Cao deeply thought that if such an atmosphere could be extended to the whole territory, not only in the military camp, but also in various places, officials would follow suit, and what he would get at that time would not be as simple as rice, grain, and money on the surface.

It is the atmosphere of the whole territory, and if this continues, in a few years, Yanzhou will become such an elegant and prosperous place.

Among the people, how stable will the people's hearts be?

In the long run, there will be an additional standard for the promotion and appointment of officials in the future.

Xu Zhen is strongly advocating the promotion of such an atmosphere.

Cao Cao took another deep look and smiled lightly.

He said to the guard in front of him: "In this case, you go and tell Bowen that my father and I are waiting for him in the government office, and ask him to come to the mansion when he is done." ”

"Tell him that this is not a summons between princes and ministers, but an invitation from a friend."

"Whoa!"

When the guard of the pawn farm heard this, his eyes were confused for a moment, and then he was immediately happy, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "The villain is for the adult, thank you lord." ”

"Uh-huh," Cao Cao laughed happily.

The guards under his command are still so happy, it seems that Xu Zhen is really suitable for leading troops.

Wouldn't it be a pity not to bring such charm and prestige with soldiers?

……

In the afternoon, Cao Cao returned to the government office.

told Xun Yu what he saw today.

Xi Zhicai was naturally also present.

And made it clear that he did not want to cure Xu Zhenzhi's disrespect, but praised him for his style of being strict with himself and giving orders.

"Bowen is really a master, if he gives up digging the ditch today and talks to me back to the government office, then his orders will naturally not be counted, and it can be completed in a few days."

"But he didn't," Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with a sincere expression, "Shouldn't the officials and soldiers of the whole territory follow suit with this kind of spirit?" ”

"There is no joke in the army, it is like a gentleman's promise! From this day forward, you will learn from Bowen. ”

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and naturally understood in their hearts.

When this matter spreads, it is not a person who is famous.

It's two.

Xu Zhen and the lord.

Xu Zhen is of course loyal to his duties and renews his promises.

But the lord is humble and virtuous, and the corporal is virtuous, so that such a good reputation will be spread.

Yes, both of them laughed at each other secretly.

Then he bowed, "Naturally! ”

After Xi Zhicai got up, the corners of his mouth rose even more, his hands were folded in his sleeves, and he folded them down again, and said loudly: "When I knew his strategy, I already knew that this person was extraordinary. ”

"Xu Bowen can judge the old lady's affairs, this ability is already above me, such an atmosphere, when it needs to be preached, he can be more visible to the lord and talent."

"No, it should be, if you are thirsty for talent, if the corporal of the world knows about this, how can you not come to the same place in the future?!"

Cao Cao laughed, "Zhicai, you really won my heart." ”

The three people present are all confidants.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't care about Xi Zhicai's behavior of praising the horses like this, and it was not bad to come once or twice once in a while.

The biggest difference between Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai is that Xun Yu knows but doesn't like to explain the words, and after Xi Zhi knows, he will inevitably name Cao Cao directly.

But his tone, style, and thoughts will never make Cao Cao annoyed, but will only feel closer.

Therefore, in one day, the news of Xu Zhen's refusal to see Cao Cao spread.

From the inner city of Juancheng to the barracks.

Widely circulated.

With Cao Cao's proposal to suppress the government, it became a matter of conversation among the scholars in the territory in an instant.

So much so that the officials of the day did not want to leave their posts immediately after dark, and they were willing to refine everything in their hands again.

Or, it's to pick up the unfinished business and do the work of the future.

I can't wait to complete the work that could only be completed in seven or eight days in one day today.

The same is true of the doorman who proposes internal affairs, and the plan submitted by him, as if his thoughts are also much more active.

Officials from all over the country even expressed their feelings, or took people to reclaim the land at night.

After all, they all knew that Cao Cao was the master, and Xu Zhen rejected him, but he was praised and promoted, and his reputation became famous.

Who doesn't want fame?! Whether it is among the scholars or among the people, reputation is the face of the future, no matter how the lord changes in the world, but these mainstay people with lofty ideals still have the opportunity to show their strength.

In the end, since Cao Cao himself, he has not been willing to rest and relax more.

So they immediately discussed the matter of attacking Xu.

……

At this time, at ten o'clock in the evening, it also reached Xu Zhen's ears.

After they had dug the ditch, it was still some time before it was completely nightfall.

Xu Zhen squatted on the hill, looking at the trend of the entire ditch and the soil, and was in a daze by the way.

Dian Wei came from behind, his face excited.

"My lord, you refused to see the lord today, but you became famous!!"

"Oh?!"

Xu Zhen suddenly turned around, a little curious, "What's the matter?" ”

Dian Wei said the news that came out, Xu Zhen frowned and thought for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly changed, "Wow! In this way, I have the reputation of being strict with myself, being loyal to my duties, and serving the people wholeheartedly, and the lord is also known as a generous master. ”

"We all have a bright future."

His intelligence is not very high now, so in these unexpected events that were not originally scheduled to be in history, he can't be like a first-class strategist and understand his meaning in an instant.

But if you think about it for a while, with your understanding of these people, you can still figure it out.

"Well, then we won't go back now!"

Dian Wei was in high spirits, as if he was very comfortable with the feeling of being touted and revered in this way.

"Dig one more, my lord, let's dig with you all night."

When the other guards heard this, they were also in high spirits, and several people immediately patted their chests, "That's no problem, I still have the strength." ”

"No, no," Xu Zhen glanced at the sky, his expression seemed to be expecting something, and the moment the sun completely set, he rubbed his feet and stood up.

"Go home!!"

"Huh?!" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, didn't he do more?!

Let's pretend!

Now the whole world is watching us!

"Your Excellency?"

"Have a good rest! I will sleep when I sleep, I will wake up when I wake up, and I will come back tomorrow," Xu Zhen walked away directly, packed up his tools and left.

When I arrived at the pawn farm, I closed the door and left.

At about the same time every day, he appeared in front of the gate of Juancheng.

The guards were stunned.

Didn't you say do your best?!

What about the atmosphere?!

Huh?! Our brothers have added three more shifts of patrols, why don't you go home and rest first!?

……

At night.

The plan to attack Xu was when the discussion was anxious.

Xi Zhicai has already said that he has retired several strategists, and has made a preliminary plan to use Xiaopei as a base to enter the army, send a letter to discuss Tao Qian, and count his three crimes.

One crime is that the domestic generals usurped the Han, disrespected the Han family, and tolerated and nurtured adultery.

The second crime is not to stabilize the people's livelihood, loot family property, and have a deep hatred in the sea of blood.

The three crimes are in a vain attempt to provoke infighting, giving food to Yuan Shu, and sitting back and watching each other.

After setting the general outline of the text, Xi Zhicai suddenly had a clear idea and said: "Our army has a lot of grain and grass, and after the warehouse is closed this year, there is not a shortage, but there is a surplus of grain, so as to collect grain from the people, they will naturally give it generously." ”

"If the people of Xuzhou are still trying to resist, they should be shocked with thunder and anger, so that they will be frightened!"

"But," Xun Yu sighed at this time, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will be ruined." ”

"That's also Tao Qian's responsibility!" Xi Zhicai stood with his hands in his hands, quite proud, "Wen Ruo, if you don't take charge of the army, how can there be no war in the troubled times!" What is the reason for the war? It's for peace! ”

"Besides, the people of Xuzhou may not dare to support this hatred and this article and can only scatter, and they can take advantage of the advantages of one and the other."

"No," Xun Yu still shook his head, but for a while, he couldn't find any reason to refute him.

Cao Cao was silent, and suddenly asked the person on the left, "Is Bowen done?" ”

Cao Chun tactically leaned back, his face was embarrassed, he glanced at many civil and military forces with some embarrassment, hugged his fists and said: "Gang, the guards are coming to report ......"

"As soon as the sun set, I said I went home and went to sleep."

Cao Cao: "......"

Yes?!

Went home and slept?!

I always thought he was digging a ditch!

"Lord, do you know something...... Cao Chun pursed his lips, "Bowen bowed to the best of his ability...... That's true, but when it's time to rest, you don't spend a moment in office. ”

"He's just doing his best in the realm of sunrise and sunset."

Do your best in the field?!

Is there such a person in this world?!

Cao Cao rubbed his head, feeling a little painful.

"Go and ask him to come and talk about it."
