Be a person!

Dian Wei's heart was numb.

In the land of Jingzhou, I still have to attack and go south to kill those scholars who slander my reputation, so I can't let me ride down Jingzhou alone.

"So, what did Berwen do when he came to see my mother? Do you know Xu Yuanzhi's whereabouts? ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly brightened, "Huh? Xu Yuanzhi in Jingzhou?! ”

"He's in Jingzhou, right?!"

Guo Jia suddenly became excited, "Write a letter and let him come back!" You let him come back! ”

Xu Zhen took half a step back with his hands behind his back, to prevent Guo Jia from being too excited and pulling his collar, after all, Xu Zhen would be stressed by this kind of action, maybe he subconsciously slapped Guo Jia on the ground, it would not look good in front of so many school affairs.

"Bowen, tell me, don't you?"

"Yes."

"How do you know?"

"Figured it out."

Guo Jia: "......"

"Okay, you don't want to say that I don't ask much, but Xu Yuanzhi owes me too much, ten years, I have supported his mother for ten years! Do you know how I've spent the past ten years?! ”

Xu Zhen was stunned, "You tell him then, but I don't plan to let him come back now." ”

"Jingzhou's eyes and ears have not been installed, and the scribes can't enter, I need Xu Shu to spy on the military situation for me in Jingzhou."

Guo Jia suddenly realized that he didn't know what position Xu Shu held in Jingzhou, but since Xu Zhen clearly said that he could listen to the military situation, it must be true.

Xu Shu is already on an errand in Jingzhou, so he belongs to the southern scholar clan, and the southern side is not only slandering Xu Zhen, but also ruining the reputation of the lord.

is called Han Xiang, but he is actually a thief.

I don't know who passed this sentence, so as to fix the hearts of the people, and after it gradually spread, the people in the south basically regarded the Cao family as a thief who usurped the Han Dynasty, except for the counties where Xu Zhen was in charge of the government at the beginning.

Of course, this is also a means, if you don't publicize it like this, it is easy to break people's hearts.

The lord and Xu Zhen are very good at playing this hand.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia also put his hands behind his back, frowned and fell into deep thought, and in this pavilion, he quieted down.

After a long time, he stared at Xu Zhen with cold eyes, and said solemnly: "Xu Shu is a good ranger, and those who fight grievances have small righteousness in their hearts that are better than great righteousness, small righteousness is filial piety, love and kindness, and great righteousness is for the family and the country." ”

"I dare to predict that if Xu Yuanzhi knew that his mother was in Xudu, he would definitely come."

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "I wrote a letter to him not to come, he will definitely not see his mother when he comes." ”

"The letter sent by Bowen is too dangerous, once it is discovered, Xu Yuanzhi will be in prison, I roughly understand, and then I will be assigned to Jingzhou spies to meet Xu Yuanzhi, if it is feasible, I will ask him to meet in Anding."

"Can Bowen tell me where Yuan Zhi is?"

Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Xinye Liu Bei." ”

Guo Jiaken personally contacted him and asked him to be a shadow first, and then come back, which was the best.

After all, I heard Brother Zhicai say that when Xu Shu ran away, he was no different from a negative man, he lost his mother to Guo Jia, and then took refuge and fled, leaving nothing behind.

After supporting his mother all these years, Guo Jia was deeply dragged down, and he did not dare to leave the old man, and he had long been regarded as his own mother.

At that time, he and Xu Shu were just "friends", not the kind of intimate relationship that talked day and night, exchanged hearts with each other, and loved each other to death.

Just for a promise, Guo Jia fulfilled his promise, but Xu Shu never came back to take a look, as if his mother was gone.

Guo Jia didn't know before.

Or die on the battlefield in the northern frontier.

Now that he has survived, his body is still healthy, and he knows Xu Shu's whereabouts, he has to ask why he has not returned to Yingshui once after more than ten years of walking.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Xu Zhen patted him on the shoulder.

Speaking of this, he smiled, turned around and left, greeted Xu's mother, asked a few more words, and left slowly with Dian Wei.

After a period of time, Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion really received information.

He and Xun Yu revealed to Xu Zhen more than ten days ago that the Jingzhou scholars had slandered him and the Cao family, to see if Xu Zhen could find a way to install some secret agents to inquire about some useful information.

After all, over the years, Jingzhou has been showing its stability to the outside world, with peace and war for many years, and millions of people have gathered, not to mention that it is convenient for farming and storing grain.

With so many people who are united in Jingzhou, you can do more than others.

At that time, Xu Zhen just smiled and said nothing, a little cold, turned around and went out after bowing, and then went to make arrangements, Cao Cao only thought that he was going to send extraordinary, clever and intelligent people to secretly go south to investigate.

Unexpectedly, he actually had the ability to directly win over one person among the officials in Jingzhou.

Pulling Xu Zhen and laughing with Xun Yu, "It's worthy of you, hahaha!" Beaux Birwen! ”

"Who the hell is this secret agent?" Cao Cao was extremely curious, "I asked Fengxiao, but he kept his mouth shut, only saying that it was the person you co-opted, who was an official in Liu Bei Xinye, and should know a lot about the situation in Jingzhou." ”

Xu Zhen thought about it, told all the things about Xu's mother, and also analyzed Xu Shu's temperament for Cao Cao.

But when the Son of Heaven issues an edict, he can be recruited as a minister of internal affairs.

"It's not surprising," Cao Cao suddenly put his hands behind his back and sighed deeply, "It's a pity that this person is talented, but I have Fengxiao, Zhicai, Gongda, and Zhongde." ”

"There are Wen Ruo, Zhong Lao and others in internal affairs."

"There is Bowen outside for my town in the north and west of Liang."

"There is no shortage of this person," Cao Cao actually still has a love for talent, but he has not fought with Xu Shu yet, and Xu Zhen's evaluation of his ability alone is not enough to make Cao Cao thirsty for talent.

This is no longer the case.

Times have changed.

is no longer the thirsty talent in Yanzhou.

Now it's the prime minister of the day!

"That's right," Xu Zhen hurriedly nodded yes, nodding like an old chicken pecking rice, "Yes, there is no shortage of prime ministers at all, and Xu Shu is not enough compared to Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao and other brothers." ”

"Haha!" Cao Cao looked left and right at the civil and military forces in the hall, and Xun Yu made a look, "Did you hear it, praise you." ”

"The ride is ridiculous."

Xun Yu bowed his hand slightly, and the rest of the people also smiled.

Xu Zhen smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed.

If Boss Cao had this mentality, it would be easy to do.

When the time comes, he doesn't want it, so I will take Xu's mother to Jizhou, and then force Xu Shu to follow me.

He can swear as much as he wants! Don't offer a plan for the Cao family for life, make a plan!

After all, if you don't give advice to the Cao family, it has little to do with me, Xu Zhen.

It's stable.

Almost all of the people in the hall are a few confidants, who have been loyal to Cao for many years, have good conduct and are not afraid of greedy ink, and naturally have nothing to do with leakage, Cao Cao said bluntly: "As mentioned in this letter, the situation in Jingzhou seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is disordered. ”

"Liu Biao suppressed the clans with 300,000 soldiers and horses as a prince, but he did not suppress the Shi clan in Jingzhou, among which the four major families of Cai, Huang, Kuai, and Pang were quite prosperous."

"There are also many small clans, such as the Ma family, the Zhang family, and the Han family, all of which have branches of celebrities and scholars, and these families have been married for generations, which are intricate, and it is not Liu Biao's generation that can be suppressed and eliminated, only by respecting and preparing for it, can the territory be stabilized."

"Therefore, if Liu Biao is dead, the family faction will compete for Jingzhou and support Liu Biao's son to ascend to the throne, and now Cai's son Cong, and Mrs. Liu Biaoxian has the eldest son Qi, each with factional support, in Xu Shu's opinion, he thinks that Liu Biao will leave half of the troops to Liu Qi, if he has talent, he can protect himself, and Liu Cong has Cai, Huang Zhuzhu, it should be easy to profit in the future."

"Among these families, the only variable is Liu Bei," Cao Cao laughed out of astonishment when he said this, and said in surprise: "It's this Liu Bei again." ”

"Liu Bei is also an imperial prince, when we fought in the north, he had already settled down in Jingzhou in the south, and Liu Biao also gave him a county town, and he was deeply loved by the people under his governance."

"This popularity will definitely be feared by many scholars in Jingzhou."

"Those people will never let Liu Bei grow safely."

Cao Cao nodded approvingly, "From a letter to the letter, you can spy on Jingzhou's danger, so it seems that there is really no need to rush south." ”

"We have to wait for Liu Biao to become old and faint, and all ethnic groups in Jingzhou are fighting for each other, and waiting for the actual dispatch of troops."

"When the time comes, I will go south, and the army will surrender everywhere," Cao Cao puffed up his chest, full of pride, although this book did not say how many troops were stationed, how the soldiers were fed, where the troops were, or the common feelings of civil and military warriors in various places, but analyzed Jingzhou's whip into the inside, and simply and clearly said the key internal troubles in Jingzhou today.

These internal troubles, no need to think about it, are all common sense, Liu Biao relied on these four families to stabilize Jingzhou, grow and become famous, and have countless achievements.

Then it will be burdened by it now, and it will be difficult to lay out.

This is the end of dependence.

"It's great to have this book! Thanks to Berwen! ”

Cao Cao glanced at him deeply, "This person, since he and Fengxiao are old acquaintances, the secret agents of the school government can be contacted in the future, this person is also a meritorious man, I have to treat his mother well." ”

"Send the reward to the backyard of the school office, and the son often visits the elderly."

"Bowen," Speaking of this, Cao Cao Ke glanced at Xu Zhen again, "What does Bowen want?" This merit should also be rewarded, which makes me feel comforted, it is really worthy of the sentence that others evaluate, Xu Bowen always has a way. ”

"There's always a way!"

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong all have internal responses, at this time I can sit back and relax, watch them fight each other, and after a few years, the army will be even more monstrous!"

Xu Zhen smiled and arched his hand: "There is nothing else to ask for." ”

These words made Cao Cao smile.

He has long been used to it, every time Xu Zhen makes meritorious service, it is almost the same, anyway, he will never ask for a reward, so Cao Cao can ask generously every time.

even threatened to give a large number of rewards, official titles, titles, soldiers and horses, and treasures, all of which were said that Xu Zhen did not want them without exception.

"Alas, you are really, you have made meritorious contributions, but you don't want to be rewarded, you are very melancholy at the moment......"

"If the lord has to give, he can ask for it."

Cao Cao: "......"

Huh?!

What do you mean? Why did you suddenly get back to the carbine today!?

Mother's Xu Bowen! If you don't talk about martial arts, you didn't want it before!

"You, what do you want?"

Cao Cao glanced at him, frowned and asked helplessly, the main thing is that the words have already been spoken, and it is impossible not to give it to nature.

I accidentally suffered a dumb loss, dealing with this kid, how did I suddenly feel...... It's a bit dangerous.

He is full of pits here, for a year or two, he doesn't ask anything, and the promotion of officials is also an edict.

As a result, when I suddenly changed my words, I was caught off guard!

Who would have expected this?

"During the southern expedition, I want to lead a group of soldiers and horses to settle down and go down to Jingzhou, I don't want merit! I don't want the same with the booty! ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, "Then what do you want?" ”

Other civil and military forces are also confused, right, what do you want?

You won't just ask for Jingzhou, will you?

Sending out a soldier means that you don't actually participate in the war, that is, you bring soldiers and horses to follow.

Xu Zhen has 240,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and he can bring 20,000 or 30,000 elites casually, and it is harmless to garrison them in those two states, but for the generals of the Southern Expedition, it is very different.

Xu Zhen laughed solemnly, showed his white teeth, and said in a deep voice: "As a reckless, it is best for me to personally follow the southern expedition and then plunder the Jingzhou Shi clan. ”

"In this way, the property of the scholar clan, precious ancient books and scrolls, Cai Yong's family property, tens of thousands of slaves, and thousands of acres of fertile land can all be in our hands!"

"When the time comes, the lord will come forward to stop drinking, punish me in public, expel me from Jingzhou, and win the hearts of the people again!"

"Anyway, I, Xu Bowen, am reckless in Jingzhou, Lao Tzu let them see, what kind of horse-stepping person, called, horse-riding surprise!"

Cao Cao: "......"

Xun Yu: "......"

Real dogs.

Especially Xun Lingjun, who is the head of the scholar clan and a famous man, heard this, his heart tightened, and then the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly.

You won't do the same to our Yingchuan clan in the future, right?

Every time he thinks of this, Xun Yu will feel sad all over the clouds, for Cao Cao, he recommended many people from the Shi clan, all in the name of Fu Han.

To put it bluntly, Xun Yu used his merits and the name of supporting the Han to make many sages in the scholarly family become officials, and many of them were virtuous.

The entire Yingchuan was recommended by him, but ...... These people all came to the Han family, because the scholars could not afford the reputation of traitor to the Han Dynasty, which was handed down by the ancestors for 400 years.

If one day, the scholar clan is gone, or Cao Cao is on the throne, Xun Yu is the biggest lackey in their mouths......

If you want to clear your name, you can only die.

If you don't want to die, there is only one way to go to the black, create a prosperous world, and inherit this infamy.

However, he thought a little heavier.

Cao Cao didn't think about it so much, he only felt that Xu Zhen was cautious, and it was estimated that he was hating the Jingzhou scholars now, and planned to let them know about the beating of the prince.

Deng Shi laughed a few times and said, "Okay, it's okay. ”

Don't merit, it's enough to say it.

Xu Zhen knows how to advance and retreat, the position of riding a car, stabilizing the north, just this merit, he will have an unshakable position in the future.

If you go south to fight for merit, it will be too high in the future, and you have to leave a chance for the rest of the generals, Xu Zhen doesn't fight, but he is just dissatisfied with the Jingzhou Shi clan and wants to ruin these people's background.

Of course, there is no need to refuse.

"Okay, this matter is decided, and there is one more thing to discuss."

Cao Cao's expression turned serious, and there were not many decisions to discuss in the matter of the Southern Expedition.

After all, it is now unanimously agreed that we should sit back and watch the tiger and wolf fight each other and wait for the situation to change.

So the most important thing at the moment should probably be to subdue Youzhou.

Cao Cao pointed out a place on the detailed map, tapped it a few times, looked up at Xu Zhen and said, "Liaodong, Gongsun Du." ”

"If this place is not subdued, it will naturally be more difficult in the future, taking advantage of the strong soldiers and horses this year, and Gongsun Du did send troops to support Yuan Xi, and he wanted to take it in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, it will become a big disaster in the future!"
