After the next office.

Cao Ang did enter the city directly, and just when Xu Zhen came out of the main hall, he asked the guards to come to see him.

Not long after, Xu Zhen immediately came to the gate.

Cao Ang had just dismounted, quite dusty, and reached out to dust off the snow scattered on his robe.

Then he tightened his shoulders and hung the collar of his robe, and when he turned around, he looked at Xu Zhen, and both of them smiled slightly.

"Brother Berwen."

"Ziyu, it's been hard all the way."

Bow your hand to greet.

Then he returned to the middle courtyard and set up a brazier in the house, and the door was open to the courtyard, where the snow had not melted and was still white.

At this time, everyone around the brazier was there, except for Xia Houen who was on patrol.

Jia Xu sat far away, listening carefully, and was not prepared to come up to discuss.

Zhuge Liang is on Xu Zhen's side, and on the opposite side of the case is Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's arrival at this time means that when the winter snow melts, something big will happen.

"My father asserted that after the beginning of spring this year, the land of Yuan Shao's three states can be tuntian and rich people, and the army can be suppressed into the territory of Youzhou, and the four counties of Youzhou will jointly attack Gongsun Zhan."

"Last year, Gongsun Zhan has become a declining trend, building Yi Jinglou and hoarding troops, and uniting with Zhang Yan of Montenegro, if he only defends and does not attack this year, it can be delayed for another year!"

"If this year, we can solve Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Yang Feng and others, then the territory will be peaceful, and there will be a few more years to fight early."

Cao Ang's expression was excited, knowing where the general trend was, he was extremely excited, for him, a good time to make contributions has arrived, and the reputation of the real eldest prince should be counted from this year.

In the matter of attacking Yuan Shu, he must make some achievements, establish his own prestige in the army and the court, and slowly take over the important task in the future, which can be regarded as the real help of his father.

Moreover, after several years with Xu Bowen, he has learned a lot, whether it is words or deeds, Cao Ang has learned to plan for the long term, everything must be done personally, and everything needs to be mastered.

The mind has matured a lot.

Xu Zhen heard Cao Ang's words at this time, nodded secretly, and said, "At the beginning, Brother Wen Ruo suggested that I make friends with Ziyu, so that Ziyu will have abundant wings in the future. ”

"Now that they have gone through the tribulation of Wancheng, Zi Xuan and Dian Wei almost died, in fact, the death catastrophe has passed, and I am afraid that the next thing is to take off."

"In the future, you must do everything in your power for the sake of your son."

Xu Zhen smiled indifferently and took a bamboo in his chest.

In his opinion, Yuan Shu is bound to lose, although there is now Lu Bu as an alliance, but Lu Bu is definitely not a person who will rebel against the Han, at least not yet.

Yuan Shu's rebellious actions will anger him, and the two will inevitably suffer from suspicion, plus Sun Ce's momentum in Jiangdong is very good, if the recent news is correct, Qu'a has now been captured.

captured most of the eighty-one counties in Yangzhou, and his people must have been helped by Zhou Yu and began to attack the Lujiang River.

And his Sun family has always been rude.

From General Sun Jian's onwards, the treatment of the scholars was very simple.

If you don't accept the suppression, you will kill if you can't suppress it.

Therefore, it was hated by the scholars, and the Jiangdong scholars could only be convinced.

Originally, if the Jiangdong Shi clan was twisted into a rope, it would be able to resist for a while, but among the Jiangdong Shi clan, the crown of young talents was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu directly rebelled and allied with Sun Ce.

From this point of view, once Sun Ce gains a firm foothold, Yuan Shu is equivalent to one more enemy.

As long as he became emperor, once the news spread, the enemies around him would amaze him.

Because apart from him, no one else will admit the existence of the Son of Heaven of the Zhong Family.

"My brother already has a plan, what should I do at this time?"

"It's about three months or so."

Xu Zhen seriously bowed his hand and said in a deep voice, "I need to calm my mind, raise military funds, accumulate grain and grass, train troops day and night, drill battle formations, and prepare siege equipment." ”

"After a month, when the ice and snow melt and the grass grows and the warbler flies, the grain and grass will be transported to the front line first, and the hill will be self-sealed."

"Then improve the equipment and use it for siege."

"Soldiers and horses are recruited, and under the day and night drills, the cavalry is the main way to enter the Huainan realm," Xu Zhen stood up slightly, "In this way, you can get this first-line city, and then stick to it and wait for help, and when the lord arrives, you can get half of the city." ”

"And Shouchun, you should mess with rumors about the city."

"At this time, Guo Lingjun should be ordered to go in person, send secret agents and spies to Shouchun to disturb the hearts of the people, the army and the people, and spread rumors to lose the hearts of the people."

"When it will be around Shouchun in the future, it will play a great role."

"What rumors?"

Cao Ang asked seriously.

"Internal commandment," Xu Zhen said seriously.

"Cao's family motto?" Cao Ang glanced at Xu Zhen suspiciously, is this really useful? Among the scholars, most of them are extremely sarcastic, and many people comment on the Cao family's style as pretending to be high, and their reputation is not very good.

"Brother, can you elaborate a little more?"

Cao Ang already had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure yet.

"Or, plus my Cao Ying's self-disciplined style, this is not a slanderous rumor, just let the people in Shouchun know about it."

"I see!"

Cao Ang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he gradually showed a smile of anticipation to Xu Zhen, "Brother means that with the Cao family's internal commandments and self-discipline, the people can know that Yuan Shu is arrogant, lascivious, extravagant and wasteful, and is not like a child to the people." ”

"The Cao family loves the people like a son, and the Son of Heaven benefits the people, while Yuan Shu is tyrannical and oppressive to the people."

"The officials in the Cao clan's territory are all dedicated to their duties, and Yuan Shu is mostly a thief, who has robbed the land and ruined the lives of the people."

"In this way, the people and the army and the people naturally have a comparison, just like when they went down to Xuzhou, with the heart as the top, the siege of the city can naturally shake the heart of the Yuan army."

"Not bad."

Xu Zhen smiled slightly, that's what he meant.

Judging from his current reasoning, this matter must be of great use!

The anger of the people begins with oppression and suffers from injustice.

Naturally, it won't have too much effect when Shouchun is still strong, but once it suffers from the siege, it will definitely be successful.

Cao Ang leaned back slightly, sat up straight, his expression seemed to be sluggish, and looked at Xu Zhen without blinking.

Finally, he asked, "How can my brother know that he can surround Shouchun in the future?" Will there be this siege? ”

Can you really use the theory of yin and yang to calculate and calculate the future?

Before Xu Zhen could answer, Zhuge Liang directly said: "The eldest prince, the meaning of the prince is not that he will count the siege of the city, but that we should finally promote the siege of the city. ”

"Shouchun City is high and difficult to attack, but no matter how big the fortified city is, if it can be broken from the inside, it will be fragile."

"Siege equipment, rumors attack the heart, and then the general trend of the siege, once this army can be promoted, Yuan Shu is extremely soldiered, and he will completely collapse and lose the heart to resist."

Liang thinks that this plan must be feasible.

"Not bad!"

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a good plan.

"Brother, have you been in charge of internal affairs lately? It is said that it is to implement the law of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, to cut pigs for the people, and he can actually think of military strategy? ! ”

Xu Zhen smiled seriously: "I've thought of it a long time ago, but I don't want to receive this merit, let Zi Zhen get it." ”

He stretched lazily.

At the same time, he said lightly: "Playing Yuan Shu is to pinch soft persimmons, and in the spring of next year, everyone will share the food, and each will have its own place." ”

"If Yuan Shu doesn't trespass, there will be chaos in Jiangnan in the future, he accommodates too many thieves and soldiers, but the grain production is insufficient, and he can't suffer."

"The family property is in the body, and the financial support of many wealthy families over the years, has never been enterprising, but the city wall is built in Shouchun, a corner of peace, and has never made any contributions."

Cao Ang immediately sighed, his eyes were full of emotion, "Brother, it's really a Dan heart......

"My brother has paid too much for his son."

"Say this,......" Xu Zhen shook his head modestly, "Who are you?" ”

"If you talk about intimacy, you Cao Zixuan is my brother-in-law."

If your brother-in-law doesn't succeed in the future, you have to help me, right?!

"Hahaha!" Cao Ang immediately laughed out loud, he only now understands that people say that his brother does not take property, is self-disciplined and honest, and wins the popularity of the people.

This is a foolish act.

But now it seems that Dan's sincerity is great wisdom.

In the future, it will be my right and left arm.

Brother Bowen, a strange man in the world.

"Brother's words are favorable, we are all a family, why do we need to be so clear!"

Cao Angden gave up his hand, and his heart was much more transparent at the moment.

As the eldest son, he already has a responsibility in his heart and understands what he wants to give Xu Zhen in the future.

If you can get a big position, you must also eat it with "meat soup".

And if that day comes, the most sumptuous bowl of meat soup he has served will be for Brother Berwen.

"That's good, but then again, if Ziyu feels sorry for it, you can do me a small favor."

Xu Zhen smiled happily.

The smile on Cao Ang's face suddenly stiffened.

They were waiting for me here.

He then smiled bitterly, "If my brother has something, just say it, why talk around like this." ”

Xu Bowen smiled and said, "The one who is waiting is Ziyu." ”

"If I remember correctly, in Dongjun, there is a camp for you, and there is a property near Guandu?"

"Not bad."

Cao Ang nodded, after this incident, Cao Ang also had a lot of land to buy a house, which was in the north of Dongjun, and someone took care of it quite richly.

These are his own private businesses, and many businessmen have defected to Cao Ang and began to travel for him.

Of course, he didn't hide these things from Xu Zhen, he had told Xu Zhen earlier.

And among the sons of Cao and Yuan.

Both Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi have gradually taken over the land of the two states.

Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, is still young now, and someone has gradually paved the way for him, and he has begun to be taught and supported by strategists in advance.

These successors are not ordinary people.

Xu Zhen smiled: "Hmm...... Ziyu sent me a gift to Jizhou, after taking the official crossing, cross the river to the direction of Wei County, there should be a Guanzhuang, there is a mountain nearby, called Woniu Mountain. ”

"There is a group of bandits on Woniu Mountain, Ziyu helped me find a person named Zhao Yun to see if it was among this gang of bandits."

"Oh......"

Cao Ang didn't know about this person, and he hadn't heard of it before.

But now that the grass is still falling, it may be an old acquaintance of my brother, and now that life is better, I want to help it.

The elder brother is really kind, he has made a fortune, and he has not forgotten his old friend.

Since it was only in a certain mountain near Wei County after Guandu, it was possible to look for it, but it was a group of bandits, and it would be better to send someone.

If it was an ordinary caravan, it was estimated that it would be killed.

If you send a famous general, it will be easy to be detected, and you will be assassinated by Yuan Shao's spies when the time comes.

This matter is a bit difficult to decide.

"It's better to let Brother Enn follow the caravan, Brother Xiahouen was not famous on the battlefield before, and he has always been around Brother Bowen of Suwei, and he is strong in martial arts, and a group of bandits should not be a problem."

"No, no, don't be like this," Xu Zhen's face immediately changed, crying and laughing, "Don't let him go." ”

"Let Zhongkang go."

Xu Zhen glanced back at Xu Chu, his eyes showed slightly, Xu Chu nodded slightly, his expression was quite indifferent, he didn't care about dealing with bandits.

Xu Chu himself was a well-known local brother when he was in Huairu.

Tall, burly and fierce, but with a leading temperament, it can be quite intimidating.

If you deliberately go to find someone, even if you detain the customs, you won't fight with the bandits, and if you are like-minded, you can even be friends, which is not bad.

Xu Zhen didn't know if he could find it, so he just gave it a try.

It's like that Xuande Gong gave a horse at that time, and he also tried to keep him.

You come and go, and you just fight in secret.

Xu Zhen had a hunch that although he hadn't heard of Liu Bei for a long time, he was sure that Liu Bei definitely had great ambitions, and he would definitely have a plan this time.

During his pastoral period in Yuzhou, he never had the slightest rivalry, but honestly practiced the policy of tuntian with the people, and did not associate with dignitaries, did not receive gifts, and did not accept banquets.

Outstanding political achievements.

Although they are all for the administration of the Cao family, in the future, most of the people in Yuzhou will be grateful to Cao Cao, and it seems that Liu Bei is doing his best, as if he has accepted his fate.

But he was not a man of resignation.

The three brothers are all the best of the day.

The second brother, the third brother, they are all ten thousand enemies.

The love of the three is still there, and the ambition is not low, at this time, Tuntian is like a sword hidden in the edge, and it may be unsheathed at any time.

Since he was not sure what Liu Bei wanted, Xu Zhen naturally had to take the same.

to balance.

"Hmm...... Fortunately, the officials in Jizhou may not know much about the prestige of Brother Zhongkang. ”

"Hmph, then I'll go."

Xu Chuhan laughed, "It's just a thief, I'm going to find someone for the prince, this person should be the old acquaintance of the prince, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "In the past few days, the princes have been looking at the map and found that there is indeed a place in Woniu Mountain, so it is that they are thinking about this matter day and night, and it may not be as simple as old knowledge." ”

"This person is probably the brother of the master when he was a ranger."

Xu Zhen shook his head, "I've never been a ranger." ”

"Try your luck."

Xu Zhen said with a smile.

At this time, a guard came in outside the door, hugged his fists to Cao Ang and Xu Zhen and said, "Junhou, there are guests outside the door who ask to see you." ”

"It's Captain Dong, who came to see Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor."

Xu Zhen: "......"

The corners of his mouth twitched.

My heart is empty. At this moment, Zhuge Liang also looked like he was smiling, and slowly turned to Xu Zhen, his expression was quite exciting, I was afraid that he was gloating.

"It's over," Xu Zhen was shocked.

You really shouldn't brag casually, Hua Tuo came to the door?!

I'm afraid you're coming to me for an explanation?!

Otherwise...... It was said that it was passed on by Dian Wei.

"What should I do?"

The guard asked tentatively.

Xu Zhen was speechless, and said bitterly: "See, what else can I do." ”

"Don't talk nonsense when the time comes, old man, be respectful."
