"You attacked Liucheng, and you have already told Zi Xuan?"

In the main hall of Xu Zhen's mansion, he was consulting the Jizhou Songzai, and was questioned by Cao Cao Xingshi.

Raised his head and was stunned on the spot, his expression was sluggish and his mouth opened slightly, there was a great sense of confusion, and after nodding, he said: "Yes, otherwise how can Zihe agree to never send troops?" ”

"This is to consume Liaodong's troops, and then send troops to defeat Wuhuan, to deter Liaodong with strange tricks, and at the same time to use the way of fiction and reality, so that Gongsun Kang does not dare to have two hearts."

"This time you can raid Liucheng, and you can do the same in the future, and capture his Liaodong, now the gallop road and the main road in Liaodong have been built, and the merchants and horses continue to pass through each other, and the people of Liaodong have long been inseparable from Jizhou merchants."

"In recent years, Liaodong has used grain and grass as currency, exchanged all kinds of commodities, and even exchanged seeds and crops outside the plug, and over time, grain and grass have naturally flourished, and in the future, only need to strictly control the heirs of the Gongsun clan as protons, and they can gradually move."

"Well, that's good......" Cao Cao listened to it, and was greatly satisfied, Xu Zhen had far-reaching consideration for this, and his policies, whether it was internal affairs or military affairs, had already calculated a lot about Liaodong.

In the future, Liaodong will slowly return to Youzhou in a few decades, and perhaps send officials over, and they will gradually accept it.

In the past half a year, it was not just as simple as winning Liucheng and killing Taton, Xu Zhen even beat Gongsun Kang of Liaodong.

Later, he went to live for more than a month, giving Gongsun Kang enough face, because after the war, Gongsun Du died of illness, and Xu Zhen personally went to mourn the generals and princes who were the foreign races outside the Han border.

As soon as the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived, Gongsun Kang was even more grateful.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile slightly.

But as soon as he smiled, he immediately shook his hand, "Don't tell me that it's useless!" I ask you why you didn't tell me the plan first?! ”

"It's too far away......"

Xu Zhen looked up at Cao Cao helplessly, "Xu Du is too far away, and the signal comes and goes, even if it doesn't need to stay, it will take five or six days to stop day and night." ”

"Walk slowly, it is estimated that it will take a month to wait for news, I received a secret order, I have a plan in mind, isn't it okay?"

"My lord came to me today, just for this matter?"

"No," Cao Cao got a few words of explanation from Xu Zhen, and slowly calmed down the look of feint anger on his face, and laughed again, "I intend to hand over Chong'er to Bowen, and let him enter your 10,000-volume library and teach him carefully." ”

"Well," Xu Zhen nodded, "Okay, no problem." ”

"The pavilion is used for the collection of books, not for living and enjoyment, the lord does not need to listen to the nonsense of outsiders, if Chong'er goes to the pavilion, with the talent and intelligence passed on by Xu Du now, he will be successful in three years, and the lord will bring it to his side in the future, teach the military, let him give more advice, and he may be able to lead the army after he becomes an adult."

Cao Cao smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Zhen's shoulder a few times, "That's good, when Chong'er is young, he has a good relationship with his sister Jie'er, then it will be hard for Bowen to take care of it." ”

"If he can learn how to make a place rich and prosperous in Jizhou, he will be able to follow it for a lifetime."

"Then please Bowen, I will let Cao Zhen lead the troops and go to Qinghe with Chong'er to garrison."

Xu Zhen still didn't change much, just nodded lightly, "Okay, obey the orders of the lord." ”

Cao Zhen.

In the future, he will also be a general, and he is also a person who is good at using soldiers, and the Cao family has funded Cao Cao's great cause over the years, and how many generals and scribes have been produced.

Among the next generation, there are not a few amazing talents.

"Is the lord alright?"

"It's okay, I continued to approve the note, and gave an order, it is estimated that before tonight, all the news will be sent back to Jizhou, and all kinds of matters must be written in person, and there must be no mistakes or omissions."

Xu Zhen's face was bitter, and his words were earnest, which made the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitch suddenly.

The hand behind his back immediately clenched.

He said in a deep voice: "It's hard to come to Xudu, don't you want to talk to me more?" In the matter of the southern expedition, is there no plan? ”

"No, I only bring a knife with me to the southern expedition," Xu Zhen said firmly, "The horse stepped on Jingxiang." ”

This sentence is full of domineering.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you here, anyway, I've been fine lately." ”

Xu Zhen fell silent, his lips moved a few times, but he really didn't know how to speak.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and the prime minister has become a lot more shameless, if he is so dependent, then I'm afraid I won't be able to run away tonight, so I have to talk to him a few words.

However, when Cao Cao said this, Xi Zhong, who came after him, watched it with a hot eye, and his heart was slightly sour, and it really had to be Xu Zhen.

What a pet.

……

In the evening, the sun sets.

Zhuge Liang arrived from the military camp, dispatched the replies of these notes, as well as Xu Zhen's orders, and led the cavalry from the garrison, and sent fast horses to send the letters away.

Between Xudu and Jizhou, there are four post houses, and there are more than a dozen fast horses along the way, which can be replaced along the way.

Therefore, the news can go back and forth to Jizhou and Yuzhou within a few days.

In the future, when you are more affluent, you will not be afraid of farming in the territory, and you can also build more roads on land and water, build warships, and build more convenient carriages.

In the past few years, it will be more prosperous and the number of people will gradually increase.

That's all it takes.

Cao Cao got up from the couch.

He took a nap here, got up in the afternoon and ate some fruit and snacks, and then went back to sleep, and then he didn't fall asleep, but lay on the couch and read Xu Zhenfen's book boringly.

This is the first time he has come to see Xu Zhen in such a boring way, although he also knew before that Xu Zhen is diligent in government affairs and sticks to his duties.

But I didn't expect to be so dedicated!

On the case, in addition to changing a few sitting postures and moving muscles and bones, he basically never left, and he was always reviewing the notes, and as he said, there were indeed a lot of notes sent from Jizhou, and if he wanted to finish them all, it would take a whole day.

But for ordinary people, it may take two or three days to process hundreds of sheets and notes, and even Xun Yu can't be so fast and accurate.

This shows that Xu Zhen is almost familiar with the government affairs and human feelings in Jizhou.

It's getting more and more powerful.

If you say that when I first met Xu Zhen, he was just able to offer suggestions and make Cao Cao have a plan in his heart, but he didn't understand a lot of people's feelings.

It's just that the attitude is sincere and down-to-earth, and the hard self-discipline is impressive.

But if at that time, he will soon be asked to take charge of all the policies of a state, and he will certainly not be able to do it, and he may be excellent on the one hand, but weak on the other, and need the advice of others to make up for it.

However, Xu Zhen doesn't have the connections of the scholar clan, where can he find so many talented people to come by?

But that's no longer the case.

Not only does he have capable people around him, but he also has the ability to govern several states and master everything in his heart.

Whether it is internal affairs or military affairs, they have their own big plans in mind.

How did this ability come about!

"I trained it!"

Cao Cao thought proudly in his heart.

"Humph......"

At this moment, seeing that there was no longer any music on Xu Zhen's case, Cao Cao snorted coldly and stood up from the bed, walked slowly in front of Xu Zhen, and said with a smile: "It's okay now, right?" ”

"You have to eat, right? Tell the cook to prepare for the meal. ”

Xu Zhen glanced at Dian Wei, "Ah Wei, go and prepare." ”

"Bring some good wine to drink with the lord."

"Huh."

Dian Wei nodded hurriedly, and glanced at Xu Zhen a few more times, secretly happy in his heart.

Alas, you also have today.

In the past, it was to rub other people's food, but today it was finally pressed and rubbed, it was really a thing to drop a thing, and it was estimated that I would be blind at night.

Dian Wei shook his head, hurriedly went to call the cook to prepare, and then went to the wine cellar to get the wine himself, and prepared to drink more with Cao Cao tonight.

Taking advantage of this moment, Cao Cao happened to have a good heart-to-heart talk with Xu Zhen, and he had to say all these heartfelt words over the years.

Xu Zhen saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Lord, I know your intentions, I originally planned to keep it for a surprise later, but let's talk about it today." ”

"Okay, hahaha!"

Cao Cao's heart is full of pride, over the years, there are not many heroes who can talk freely about the world with him, there is no such person in this Xu Du, and those who can talk have become old enemies.

If one side is divided, there will be war in the future.

Only Xu Zhen is special, or can be chatted.

At this time, Xu Zhen took out a stack of maps from his arms, put them on the case, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the detailed map I drew after staying in Liaodong for a month. ”

"With the assistance of a local adviser, and a lot of fine depictions, it is now fully used for marching maps."

Cao Cao's eyes dimmed, and he felt like someone had punched him in the heart.

"Oh, that's the surprise you said?"

"yes, or what? You can't just talk about the current situation and war, right? Xu Zhen blinked and said with a serious face.

Talk about war, do strategy, and after that, I can also brush some self-discipline points, maybe I can get some bonus attributes for eloquence, and my abilities will improve faster.

There's no need to talk about your heart, it's useless at all, it's almost a deep talk, and this relationship still needs to be closer?

Talking all night, you can't get anything but melancholy, it's better to have something real!

"Oh, well, that makes sense......"

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he felt that he was pinched hard by Xu Zhen, and for some reason he was holding his breath and couldn't speak.

Nodding helplessly, he glanced at Xu Zhen with resentment, "I haven't seen you for many years, and there is a lot of criticism outside, do you want to explain it to me?" How about you say a few words of loyalty? ”

Xu Zhen was stunned and said, "What do you say?" Do you look at this map? Is the plan of Liaodong discussed? When going south to Jingzhou, should the enemy situation be planned in advance and be prepared? ”

After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao still nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's not enough, there is time to march in the future."

Xu Zhen spread out the map, telling all the main roads and the places where the army was stationed in Liaodong, combined with the edge terrain drawings sent before, basically except for Lelang County, which only knew a little about it, the entire Liaodong could have a complete map.

It took more than half an hour just to explain the various terrain in detail, and Cao Cao gradually listened to it, and it was only then that he deeply felt that although he could not communicate with Bowen, he would definitely not be difficult to capture Liaodong in the future with this detailed explanation of the map.

This is the merit of Dingbeijiang, but it is not in a hurry, but to leave a means for future generations, this merit is not easy to talk to others, but should be hidden by Cao Cao himself, only to inform the confidants.

After listening, Cao Cao was amazed.

"I didn't expect that Bowen's march was so delicate, and even where the mountain road could be used as a grain station, I would find out clearly."

Xu Zhen smiled: "Get used to it, only in this way can you not make mistakes and omissions, even if you are defeated, you can slowly withdraw from the army, so as not to be chased and killed too embarrassed." ”

"Hehehe," Cao Cao suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, "You march like this, and continue to accumulate soldiers and horses, strengthen soldiers and sharp weapons, recruit warriors, and make them want to be the same from top to bottom, and charge into battle with one heart, it is not easy to lose?" ”

Xu Zhen was stunned, thinking of the next big battle, it was very likely that hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships would be burned by a fire...... For a while, his mouth opened a few times, and he didn't know how to speak.

"The proud army will be defeated."

"At any time, the lord needs to be cautious in the use of troops, and must not be proud of the victory, and need to know that the changes in the battle situation are only in a thought."

"Hehe, hahaha!!"

Cao Cao immediately laughed out loud and said, "Bowen is too worried, how can I be proud of the victory with my soldiers?" Over the years, he has never been complacent. ”

"Never."

Xu Zhen looked at his smile, and his heart suddenly twitched.

The early symptoms of arrogance are hard mouths and carelessness.

Finished.

I still have to go to this southern expedition, if I go, I can persuade Feng Xiao and Zhicai to persuade some and see through the enemy's strategy.

Otherwise, the southern expedition to Jingzhou is nothing, and the capture of Jiangdong is a problem.

Once the army is defeated, the entire Central Plains will continue to fall into long-term war in the future, and many princes will be like wolves smelling blood, thinking that the Cao family will be defeated and returned, and they can not get up, but they can also divide and eat, and they will definitely cause chaos everywhere.

At this time, how to deal with yourself?

"Lord, you still have to march cautiously, and for the southern expedition, you should first go down to Jingzhou, and then wait for the Sun clan in Jiangdong to be taught."

"When Sun Ce attacked you in Hefei, only one or two thousand people could make him return with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he would lose his armor and kill him.

"Liu Bei was defeated and fled, and he will definitely not be reused by Liu Biao in the south, and it will not be a climate, and besides, Jingzhou and Jiangdong have secret agents left by you, and they are all people in high positions, so the odds are naturally not small."

"Wait another year or two, wait for an opportunity, and I can send troops south!"

"A time, Berwen should know what an opportunity."

Cao Cao smiled, took out a piece of paper information from his arms, and put it on the table, Xu Zhen glanced at it and said, "Liu Biao is seriously ill? ”

"Huh? Do you already know? ”

Cao Cao was suddenly surprised, and then full of smiles, Xu Zhen was well-informed, and it was not a day or two, so it was not strange to know such news.

However, what Xu Zhen is really curious about is that it is impossible for Xu Shu to know so much news about Jing Xiang, and Liu Biao is seriously ill, and ordinary people will never hear about it.

He is only seriously ill, and he is not dead, or he has months to live, or even a year or two to live, and if the news spreads at this time, of course he will be condemned.

So how did the lord know?

"Does the lord have any other news? Who is the message to the lord? ”

"Hey, I naturally have my people." Cao Cao smiled a little proudly.
