Chapter 250: East and West Blossom
As a qualified minister, Cao Cao undoubtedly understood the emperor's mind very well.
It doesn't matter what the current emperor is like.
But Cao Cao knew very well that the emperor wanted to revive the Han dynasty and recreate the strong Han dynasty in his lifetime.
And the premise of achieving this goal must first be the strength of Guanzhong.
Population, money, food, these three things must be achieved.
And, not too much at all.
How can the acquisition of wealth in the short term be feasible without war?
A meal of wine by the campfire ended quickly.
After Cao Cao almost explained his plans, he simply ate a few bites of meat, drank two bowls of wine, and left.
The marinated wild boar meat is grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tastes quite good.
But Han Fu didn't have the slightest appetite when he looked at it.
He took the only pig tail of the wild boar, chattered in his mouth, and said melancholy, "Yuan Zhi, why did you agree to this?" β
"Whether I agree or not, it seems that I can't help you and me, Shi Chang, the military order is like a mountain, General Cao can personally come to explain a thing or two to Shi Chang, it should already be considered a very face-saving thing." Xu Shu said quietly.
In this army, Cao Cao's words were orders.
Where is there room for them to pick and choose?
Han Fu was stunned, "Huh...... It seems to be too, so I'm just a philistine? β
He seems to have misunderstood the essence of the problem from the beginning.
Fuck, he's just a chief!
The youngest officer in the school!
Xu Shu chuckled and nodded, and threw the wine jar to Han Fu, "What Chief Shi should think about now should be how to do this well, although General Cao said that he is good at making claims, but isn't this what Your Majesty meant?" β
"So what should we do?" Han Fu asked.
Despite this, Han Fu still had a big head when he remembered what he was going to do next.
Drinking, chatting, wooing relationships, and doing something behind your back.
Xu Shu smiled confidently and calmly, "Shi Chang will hand over this matter to me when the time comes!" β
"You continue to win over what should be co-opted, and I will do the looting!"
When Han Fu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was also faintly a little lost.
"You are a general, I am the chief, when should you protect me like this?" He said lonely.
Xu Shu suddenly felt that the meat in his hand was not so fragrant.
"What's long, just talk, don't be so shy." Xu Shu was a little tired and panicked.
"I mean......" Han Fu was a little embarrassed to be said.
Xu Shu picked up the wine bowl, "I'll salute a long bowl, don't say anything." β
ββ¦β¦ It's good. Han Fu smiled bitterly.
The wine bowl reached his lips, Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "After arriving in Langya, Shi Chang can use the means he is good at to do things, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
β¦β¦
Huangfu Jianshou has been drunk in Longxian for three days.
In an era of material scarcity and lack of entertainment, the favorite pastime of the powerful was to feast and drink for fun. Even if it is a poor person, he will sell two taels of wine during the New Year's festival to reward himself for his hard work in the past year.
In the past three days, Huangfu Jianshou and Ma Teng did not mention anything serious.
didn't even say a word about the world's major events in his mouth, and when he said it, he talked about all women.
Huangfu Jianshou fell into the woman's arms when he was drunk, fell asleep soundly, and continued to look for Ma Teng to drink when he woke up.
But Huangfu Li couldn't sit still.
Being in the enemy camp, his nerves were tense every day.
"Huangfu Jianshou, if you don't do anything serious today, I'll leave!" Huangfu Li dragged Huangfu Jianshou, who was sleeping in a daze, up from the bed, "Eat and drink with your eyes open all day long, sleep with your eyes closed, are you here to run errands or to have fun." β
Huangfu Jianshou shook his head and squinted at Huangfu Li, "Li, you said something wrong, when I closed my eyes and slept, the frankincense around me was overflowing, and the jade body was horizontal. β
Huangfu raised his hand angrily and slapped him, "Be serious, I'm not joking with you." β
"Hahaha, okay, errand, errand." Huangfu Li jumped up from the bed shirtless, walked to the courtyard in three or two steps, and plunged into the water tank.
After washing his hair and face at one time, Huangfu Jianshou returned to the house wet.
"It's refreshing." He shouted.
After changing his clothes and picking himself up, Huangfu Jianshou directly took Huangfu Li to Ma Teng's mansion.
When I went, Ma Teng was having breakfast.
This fierce general, even for breakfast, eats mutton with more fat than lean meat.
His sons sat around.
"I've seen the general, and the general is still living a comfortable life here!"
Huangfu Jianshou made a simple salute, dragged a handful of Huangfu Li and sat down directly.
Ma Teng laughed and cut meat for Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li, "The days in Liangzhou are not easy, but the mutton in Liangzhou is delicious." β
"Fat but not greasy, no fishy, really delicious." Huangfu Jianshou echoed, grabbed a rib and took two bites.
Then I took a sip of wine, and the comfortable Huangfu Jianshou was radiant.
But with such a way of eating, the emperor's throat and eyes seemed to be about to get oily.
"General, now that the autumn grass is plump, it's time to move troops." Huangfu Jianshou said suddenly.
Ma Teng's face suddenly lost a smile, "But I heard that the imperial court also sent an envoy to see Han Sui's thief!" β
Huangfu Jianshou laughed twice, "But Han Sui must not have known that the two of us came to see the general." β
"I have been drinking with the general here for three days, and if Han Sui learns about it, he must have already made a move."
"Now Jincheng is quiet, and there are still small groups of soldiers and horses coming and going, obviously he doesn't know."
Ma Teng put down the flesh-cutting dagger, wrapped his beard with greasy hands, and muttered, "What does the imperial court mean? β
"The two of us are the meaning of the imperial court." Huangfu Jianshou said in a deep voice, "In order to avoid startling the snake, the imperial court sent two envoys to meet the general and Han Sui, the purpose is to make peace with the two. But this is only the surface meaning, not the real intention. β
"Your Majesty has ordered my father to move to Chang'an to train soldiers and horses, can't the general see what it means?"
Ma Teng's complexion changed slightly.
"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Liangzhou can only have one feudal official of the imperial court, Your Majesty can no longer tolerate Liangzhou to continue to be chaotic like this." Huangfu Jianshou said, "The imperial court and Yizhou are separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and it is difficult for soldiers and horses to travel. β
"Liangzhou, and even Longxian, is the place where the army will be stationed in the future, and there is a great merit for the general."
Ma Teng's eyes drooped, "How can I know that this is not the emperor who wants me to kill Han Sui?" β
Huangfu Jianshou's face was a little surprised, "It's not interesting for the general to say this, isn't the general killing Han Sui now?" Besides, the revenge of killing his wife and children, the general shouldn't have said it, right? β
"The general thinks about it slowly, I'll tell you what I need to do first."
"I came to Longxian County day and night, sneaky, and I must not let Han Sui know, because we have to go to Jincheng in two days. What I tell the general now, I have to tell Han Sui again in its original form. β
Ma Teng's complexion was a little unpleasant for a moment.
His eldest son, Ma Chao, waved his arm, and the knife in his hand that cut the flesh fell on Huangfu Jianshou's neck.
"What do you mean, dog thief?" Ma Chao asked angrily.
Huang Fu Li, who was sitting next to Huangfu Jianshou, looked at the blade close at hand, and even the meat in his hand was frightened.
"Why be so grumpy!" Huangfu Jianshou raised his hands and calmly chewed the food in his mouth twice.
"Put down the knife!" Ma Teng shouted with a calm face.
"My lord, this guy is uneasy and kind!" Ma Chao said.
"Put it down!" Ma Teng raised his voice and shouted.
Ma Chao stared at Huangfu Jianshou fiercely and withdrew the knife.
Huangfu Jianshou looked indifferent, and raised the wine bowl with a smile to signal Ma Chao.
After taking a sip of wine, he said, "I think I said it so clearly, the general must have understood." β
"But I seem to have overestimated the general's wisdom, and in that case, let me make it clearer!"
"Your Majesty believes in the general, and wants to use the general to suppress Liangzhou."
Ma Teng's breathing was a little short, "But you just said that you still want to see Han Sui and say exactly the same thing!" β
"Of course it's a lie, and that's what worries me." Huangfu Jianshou's face suddenly fell, as if he was mourning.
"I boasted in front of Your Majesty that I wanted to assassinate Han Sui, but I think I might die!"
Ma Tie, who was sitting next to Huangfu Jianshou, raised his arm to stop Huangfu Jianshou and said, "Otherwise, you can start from the beginning." Have you drunk too much in the past two days? Why did I have so much trouble listening to you! β
"What's wrong with my words? ζ―δ½ ηΆδΊ²εδ½ ηε ιΏθζ―ζζζοΌ Huangfu Jianshou shouted at the top of his voice.
These words startled Huangfu Li again.
This bastard thing doesn't seem to be worried that Ma Teng will be angry at all.
said in front of others that other people's wisdom is not good, and now they are still shouting like this.
It's really bouncing on the hanging rope repeatedly.
"You say!" Ma Teng sighed.
In fact, he also wanted to hear all the meanings.
He understood, but not completely.
"Okay, let's talk about it." Huangfu Jianshou made a gesture as if he had surrendered, looking a little helpless.
This is simply a blatant contempt for the wisdom of the Ma Teng family.
"In Liangzhou, His Majesty trusts the general. But the general and Han Sui are sworn brothers, the general understands, right? His Majesty will inevitably regard the general as the same as Han Sui. Huangfu Jianshou explained, "This time, His Majesty dispatched three messengers. β
"What I brought is the most genuine news, and it is also the meaning of Your Majesty and the imperial court."
"If the general is willing to make meritorious service and attack Han Sui as the vanguard, the Liangzhou Assassin will definitely not be able to escape."
"The general will raise troops to attack Jincheng with great fanfare, and my father will lead the imperial court's 30,000 troops in Chang'an to help! With such a force, on the frontal battlefield, Han Sui had almost no chance of winning. β
"But this time, Your Majesty is ready to pacify Liangzhou in one go, so I, the lowly Emperor Fu Jianshou, have to take a risk to go to Jincheng."
"-Waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Han Sui!"
Ma Teng really understood this time.
Ma Tie, the simple-looking kid, also understood.
"It's enough to fight head-on, we add the imperial army, and the more than 50,000 troops can't kill Han Sui?" Ma Tie muttered.
Huangfu Jianshou sighed, "I don't want to either, but Han Sui is like a rabbit, just defeated, he will go far to the Qiang land, and then entangle all the way to the trouble." His Majesty not only wants to kill Han Sui this time, but also to deter the Qiang people. β
"Only when Liangzhou is completely stable can Your Majesty free up his hands to get Yuan Shao!"
There was still a little hesitation on Ma Teng's face, and he said, "Your Majesty shouldn't trust me. β
When Huangfu Jianshou heard this, he just wanted to roll his eyes.
It's so fucking infuriating.
He also knew what Huangfu Jianshou meant, didn't he want to say that Han Sui was coerced into rebellion, and he rebelled himself!
"Your Majesty...... Cherish talents! Huangfu Jianshou said, "Compared with Han Sui, His Majesty values the talent of the general more. β
"Really? Hahaha. Ma Teng suddenly laughed and said urgently, "I will choose the most capable son in the army to accompany you to Jincheng, two hundred is not less?" β
