Chapter 46: Alas, the bitter wine hurts in the throat
Chen Deng was also tired of watching it later.
You said that you are doing a good job in Tuntian, and the people in the territory are attached to it, and your prestige is everywhere......
What are you messing with him?
That Cao Mengde is really not easy to mess with......
A scholar like Chen Deng not only focuses on the official affairs of Tuntian in front of him, but also often looks at the general trend of the world.
Therefore, in addition to the lord, they will also inquire about the news from various places, and naturally know that Cao Cao quickly attacked Yuan Shu before the New Year, and chased the battle for hundreds of miles.
I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it's not hard to imagine what it was like, madman.
It's a madman.
Yuan Shu provoked it, and after taking it lightly a little, Cao Cao dared to beat it to such an extent.
If Yuan Shu hadn't run for his life, he was afraid that he would be killed by the tiger and leopard riding halfway.
Now Xuzhou ...... And to provoke this, alas.
Yuan Shu also stood on the opposite side of the scholar clan, just because he formed an alliance with Sun Jian and took the fierce old department under his command.
In the process of attacking and conquering, Sun Jian almost killed the local scholars all the way, and he would not play any vassal elegance with them at all.
Cao Cao was good to the scholars...... Anyway, he still asks for opinions, although no matter what you say, agree or disagree, he won't bird you.
But it will give a chance to second.
Chen Deng thought with a wry smile.
Shaking his head and sighing, he went out.
β¦β¦
At this time, within Xiaopei.
Cao Cao lived in the city lord's mansion and smiled proudly.
It's wonderful.
Whose scheme? It can be described as amazing!
Oh, so that's what I thought.
Gee.
"Big brother, you have captured tens of thousands of soldiers and armor and more than 1,700 horses."
"There is also grain, and the people everywhere don't even need to levy grain, and the scholars and merchants have given a total of more than 30,000 stones."
"Hmm...... Well, not bad! Cao Cao nodded calmly, 30,000 stones! Give for nothing.
"Hurry back to Yanzhou, and in a few days, Tao Qian will come and give another 30,000 stones!"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Cao Cao laughed unkindly, his beard kept shaking, mainly because it was really interesting to take advantage of it this time.
After getting Xun Xiao's letter, Cao Cao was always thinking about it, and Que declared that the Son of Heaven must be the end of a violent death.
That Tao Qian must have been able to suppress it extremely quickly, but he didn't.
At that time, Cao Cao guessed, but he was afraid that Xun Xiao didn't understand this truth, Tao Qian was the king, and he wanted a justifiable reason to enter Yanzhou.
And why shouldn't I?
"After Xiao Pei's soldiers and horses were dispatched, he raided his thieves, and in the name of eliminating thieves and quelling the rebellion, he won a lot."
"Tao Qian'er never expected that we would wait here, the eldest brother is really like a god, and he has been waiting for eighteen days and has never left."
"How did Big Brother find out about this battle?"
"Hmm......" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled confidently, "Intelligence, foresight." β
"For this reason, you can take charge of the overall situation, Zixiao, you have to learn more."
"When I was spying on the military intelligence, I did know that something had happened near Xiaopei, but I only dared to guard against it, why could the military know that it was this rebellion?"
Cao Cao was just about to speak, when Cao Chun stepped in outside the door.
It's not easy to say now.
Cao Cao coughed lightly a few times, then gave Cao Chun a strange look, and then smiled: "This is a person's mind, foresight and wisdom, only by grasping the opportunity, can you be invincible, the reason, Zixiao should read more military books, be familiar with the heart, and use it freely." β
Cao Ren's face was more serious, he had always listened to Cao Cao's advice, and he nodded deeply and kept this in his heart.
When Cao Chun came in, the two said hello, and Cao Ren naturally went back.
After he left.
Cao Chun glanced at Cao Cao, "Big brother, are you teaching your son filial piety again?" Isn't this military intelligence fromβ"
"Shut up."
Cao Cao's eyes widened, "Can he think of ambushing soldiers here?" Can he think of taking the opportunity to attack Xuzhou in the name of letting Tao Qian suffer the consequences?! β
Can he guess Tao Qianzhi's thoughts? Not really! β
"Go back and give him a promotion."
Cao Chun pursed his lips.
said it was useless again, and was promoted again.
On what grounds did you ...... this time?
"Big brother, the letter is here."
"This is Tao Qian's letter, now Xuzhou has gone to Chang'an Tianzi, to make the name Chen Deng, is the Chen family, the local celebrity, with the law of Tuntian for Xuzhou to bring the law of grain hoarding, these years in the people of the popularity is very high."
"Hmmm......"
Cao Cao smiled indifferently.
"He is coming, and we must not withdraw at once."
The corners of his mouth went up, revealing a sly smile.
Cao Chun thought for a moment, and immediately laughed, "I know that it was the foolish brother who made the soldiers make things difficult outside, strictly checked their identities, deliberately snubbed, and refused to leave." β
"Good, good! Sub and transparent. β
β¦β¦
The government office is in the middle of the hall.
Chen Deng has been waiting for a long time.
However, he was not in a hurry, as early as when he came, he had already guessed that this trip would not be so simple.
Cao Cao has no reason to use troops in Xuzhou, the so-called division is unknown, so he is tied, even if Cao Cao does not want the reputation of the scholars, the public opinion of the people, he will still be more or less scrupulous.
Therefore, he used the reason of eliminating the thief this time, but in fact, he invaded Xuzhou and did not leave so easily.
At the very least, Xiao Pei might want to take it back......
Alas, the lord's soldiers and horses can only be stationed in Tanxian now, and they dare not send troops to drive them away, because once they are driven away, it means that they will take revenge.
Now that the people of the whole territory know that Cao Cao helped get rid of the thieves and suppressed the rebellion of Que Xuan, you are now sending troops to drive them away?!
Will Xuzhou have prestige in the future?!
The common people can scold Cheng En for revenge, but Tao Qian can't afford this kind of reputation.
The scholars in the territory can't afford to carry it, so this move can be played.
It's like making yourself into an urn......
Forget it, let's not talk about it.
Chen Deng's brown robe, kneeling in the guest seat, was extremely upright, and he didn't dare to look irritable at all.
He understood that since Cao Cao could use this reason, he must have already seen through this Xuzhou strategy, so there was no need to tell lies.
It's all tacit.
Xuzhou has a plot against Yanzhou, how can he ask people to withdraw safely like this.
This time, the apology simply didn't work.
"Alas......"
No one came to serve the tea.
And so he waited until the evening.
Cao Cao came to see him.
Cao Cao, who was majestic in black robes, stood at the door, glanced at him quite squintingly, and said calmly: "You are Chen Yuanlong?" β
"Cao Gong!"
Chen Deng immediately stood up, but because the whole day had passed, his steps were a little vain, and he staggered for a long time, saluted with both hands, and bowed deeply.
"Hehehe, hum, hum, hum......"
Cao Cao laughed a few times, walked to the main seat, sat down with a golden sword, and looked at him with a smile.
Chen Deng dared to be calm.
But after being stared at by Cao Cao's eyes for a long time, I don't know why, my heart is empty.
Hang your head slowly.
"Duke Cao, come down on behalf of the lord of my family, thank Duke Cao for removing thieves and quelling the chaos, and the name of the Han family."
"Well, the usurper and the traitor, there is nothing to congratulate, even if I consume tens of thousands of soldiers and countless casualties, I will not hesitate."
Chen Deng immediately gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Cao Gong has worked hard and made great achievements, and the losses are huge, Xuzhou will recruit troops and give grain and grass." β
In fact, when he said this, he already understood in his heart that before they came, Cao Cao had already transported an unknown amount of baggage and food back to Yanzhou.
But it can't be helped.
understands that the dumb loss should be swallowed as bitter wine.
The bitter wine hurts in the throat and in the heart......
