"Zihe!"

Cao Cao entered the main hall of the government office, Cao Chun had already been called here to wait, at this time he was confused, and he didn't know what was happening.

But when he came, Wen Bo made a look, as if to say that his good luck was really coming.

"Your house, all taken out, rebuilt into a palace, in the future the Son of Heaven will be resident in Xu County, you personally lead the tiger and leopard to guard the left, I ask the Son of Heaven to crown you as the ruling Jinwu, how about it?"

Cao Cao's words were concise and to the point, and Cao Chun's face gradually became more and more exciting.

Really coming?!

Good news!

These houses are dedicated, and that is merit, and I have purchased a house for the Son of Heaven in advance, and some things are nothing to say.

Cao Chun immediately clenched his fists and laughed loudly: "Big brother! I knew that the Son of Heaven would be in Xu County, but in fact, I bought a courtyard house at that time just to be able to rebuild the palace! ”

"It's not a secret, in the house, there has already been a palace cavity courtyard, but I don't dare to cap it with a high wall!"

"Now that the eldest brother has won the Son of Heaven, I can finish it in just three days!"

Cao Chun straightened his waist, and his tone was high-spirited, this was a big breath, for him, the criticism he received when he came to Xu County to buy a house before, this moment is nothing.

Cao Cao stared at him with a smile, when Cao Chun said this, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest guess, after all, who would have thought that in less than half a year, the Son of Heaven would return to Luoyang?

Now that he has received the Son of Heaven, everything is solved in an instant, including Cao Chun.

If Xun Xiao also knew about his purchase of the house, it would be terrible.

This kind of arrangement and strategy is no longer comparable to ordinary people.

Cao Cao was confident that if he was still alive, he would be able to stabilize Xun Xiao, and even suppress the entire Xun family, so that they could be used for his own use.

Not with strategy, but with kindness, this is Cao Cao's own charm.

But what if he is gone?

As a sovereign.

At this time, Cao Cao's worries and fears outweighed joy.

The most important thing is that Xun Xiao still has soldiers in his hands!

Just like a few days ago, when Zhao Yun appeared on that battlefield, he was unexpected, and when he was greatly surprised, Xun Xiao arranged for him to ambush in that place, and there was no trace at all.

No one can deduce why.

But Cao Cao had already figured it out on the way here.

It's not that Xun Xiao calculated that they would pass through Luyang.

It's that everything he secretly arranged was to push the Son of Heaven and go to Luyang.

Even I counted.

How terrible is such a person.

What if one day Tao'er can't control him?

Can only be killed!

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly sharpened, but they quickly turned soft, and the idea that arose at the same time was that if he really killed him, he would actually be reluctant.

Then in a moment of silence, he looked at Cao Chun.

"Zihe, I ask you now, why did you buy a house in Xu County, and why did you know that the Son of Heaven would come?"

Cao Chun was stunned.

Then his eyes blinked and said: "I, I know that this place is my hinterland, and if the eldest brother wants to truly compete for hegemony, or even compete with Yuan Shao, he must occupy the Heavenly Dao." ”

"And the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, the situation is already dangerous, and sooner or later he will return to the east, and once he returns to Luoyang, it is impossible for Luyang, which is close to him, to become a hinterland, if the eldest brother fights, it can only be Xu County."

"The land of Xu County is the hinterland of Yingshui, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a Yingshui running through, just need to take local materials to build a gorgeous palace wall."

"And our soldiers and horses are nearby, of course it is the best in Xu County!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao's expression was quite moved, but there was no surprise, he nodded secretly, and finally showed a smile.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Cao Chun's shoulder, and said solemnly: "In this case, I can only hand over the big task to you in the future." ”

"Good!"

Cao Chun was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Big brother, don't worry, I swear to protect the side of Chang'an, and I will never let the Son of Heaven have anything to do!" ”

"Hmm."

That's not what Cao Cao actually said.

Because Cao Chun's answer had already made him sure that this must be what Xun Xiao taught him.

There is no doubt about that.

Such thoughts are not very insightful, but they are not very reasonable.

Xu County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but there are several of the same places.

Moreover, Cao Chun rarely came to Yingchuan, and he did not travel in Yingchuan when he was young, so he didn't know what the terrain of Xuxian County meant.

I don't have that ability, you know.

A military general, do not look at the art of war, look at the position of land and water.

Is this possible?

Impossible.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility that Cao Cao said has nothing to do with protecting the Son of Heaven.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

It's got to this, let it be.

Wen Bo must be rewarded, but the dead battalion under his command also needs to be strictly controlled, and it cannot continue to grow.

……

A few days later.

A newly built palace was quickly settled, and it already had a walled foundation, so it was not very difficult to only need columns, although it was not majestic enough, it was still very simple, but it barely made those ministers have nothing to say.

Cao Cao drew up a merit book, which is also a book of merits over the years.

Sent to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven was wearing a black robe, and took over this recital on the side hall, and immediately glanced at it a few times, and suddenly became puzzled on his delicate face, and looked up at Cao Cao a little strangely, and asked, "Aiqing, why don't you ask for credit for yourself?" ”

"Just to, to...... Si Nong? Zhonglang will? ”

"Aiqing is commonplace, okay? In this way, it is logical to govern money, grain, rice, and millet, and can govern the soldiers and horses within the territory. ”

The 80,000 royalists were not nearby, and they were still fighting among themselves.

And Liu Xie also understood that if you really want to talk about it, the so-called 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding the Son of Heaven were originally gathered by the major generals in order to compete for merit.

Now that he has moved to Xu County, he can no longer let them protect him, and almost all his merits are in Cao Cao's hands, and if he can't keep it, Cao Cao will also be like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan, and be a hegemonic control.

But now it seems that he was mistaken.

Cao Cao didn't seem to mean that.

"I'm casual," Cao Cao bowed his hand, quite respectfully, but his expression was very relaxed, "Whatever Your Majesty gives me, I want it, this is Hanchen, there is no need to ask too much, ask for a price." ”

"But the civil and military under their command should be rewarded for their merits, and they have indeed made great contributions to the Han Dynasty."

"That's not right," Dong Cheng suddenly came over and glanced at Cao Cao in surprise, "Why did you ask Yuan Shao for the position of general?" ”

"Yuan Benchu sat in the land of Sanzhou, and there were more than 400,000 soldiers under his command, and it was increasing year by year! He's not a general, am I? ”

Cao Cao seemed to be smiling, and he didn't have anything to do with Dong Chengxu at all.

These ministers, he can see it, so he plans to let himself invite a big official.

Either the general is the prime minister, once this happens, Yuan Shao will definitely not accept it and make trouble outside.

They are good-looking, and then lead the two armies to fight, and then try to develop from them, how can Cao Cao not know such thoughts.

If it was Dong Zhuo's kind of person, he would probably be the prime minister, of course, he was indeed impatient to become the prime minister back then, but everyone understood the result.

He was angry with the people, and he lost his power.

But Fengtianzi, it should be gradual, not too hasty.

"In this way, Cao Sikong is really loyal to the monarchy."

"Exactly," Cao Cao didn't understand Dong Cheng's sarcasm, and directly agreed, he is a person who is loyal to the monarch and the country, "Your Majesty, please consider it at your discretion, in addition, the palace is still under construction, on the side of Xu County, near the land of the water, I will build a huge granary." ”

"I'm Yanzhou, Xuzhou got more than one million grains last year, the people have already eaten and dressed, and there is surplus grain at home, which is minted with five baht coins, which can be restored to large coins and eliminate Dong Zhuo's coin cutting policy back then."

"Good, good ......"

Liu Xie nodded suddenly.

You see, I said that you are suitable to be a commonplace, and what you are doing now is nothing that you should do.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou are rich and stable, and the soldiers and horses are strong.

The land of Yuzhou is now the Son of Heaven coming, the imperial palace capital is here, and the local hermits who have accumulated so many years will immediately come to vote.

Constantly under Cao Cao, he will continue to grow in a few years.

Liu Xie is smart and understands this truth, and the most important thing is that Cao Cao still has the name of benevolence in Xuzhou, which is enough to make the people cry.

What a prestige.

Enwei and Shi, the land of the three states is still at ease, Cao Mengde is a great talent in the country, and he is a rare person in the world.

It's completely different from Dong Zhuo and the like, powerful.

"I, wait here, everything will be handled by Aiqing, and in addition, please thank Aiqing for me."

"The things he sent relieved my thoughts and gave me a heart."

Cao Cao smiled and nodded in agreement.

My father did send a lot of old things in the palace in the dormitory, so that the Son of Heaven could see things and think about people.

After all, when he returned to the east, he was later chased by Li Dao's soldiers and horses, resulting in a large amount of property and jade being lost halfway.

At this time, he was naturally grateful to alleviate the feelings of the Son of Heaven, and as soon as the Son of Heaven said this, those ministers naturally had no possibility to refute.

For a few days, Xu County was renamed Xudu, expanded outward, established a granary, and stationed soldiers.

There are also policies and policies, personnel appointments and dismissals, etc., all of which are busy.

Therefore, Cao Cao had very little time to rest.

Finally settled down.

It was not until the end of June, when it was the hottest time, that the ministries were operating normally and were no longer in a hurry, and taxes and other taxes began to be collected gradually.

The royalist generals outside still stopped making any moves after all, acquiesced in the fact that the Son of Heaven was in Xudu, each received an official position, and sent troops to the prefectures and counties.

It is logical to change the name of the country to the first year of Jian'an, the world Da'an, the broken carriage of Dahan, replaced by a whip-wielding "groom", it is estimated that it can run for decades.

……

Wancheng at this time.

Zhang Xiu also followed Jia Xu's suggestion, made peace with Liu Biao, and surrendered to Cheng's command, asking for permission to camp troops in Wancheng, Nanyang.

After discussing with the ministers under his command, Liu Biao sent grain and grass to Zhang Xiu and asked him to garrison Wancheng.

Inside the government office.

In the main hall, Zhang Xiu was browsing something at the desk, Jia Xu walked in quickly, with an extraordinary bearing, thin and serious, and came to the front with a cold face, "The general called me?" ”

"Sir!"

Zhang Xiu immediately got up, stepped forward to bow like a disciple, and handed the edict in his hand to Jia Xu.

"Look at it, on this edict, Uncle Zhu is posthumously named a miscellaneous name, why don't you mention me at all?"

"There are also soldiers and horses in Wancheng, and there has never been a messenger from the Son of Heaven to talk to, and those generals who conspired back then have never written to say anything, so my situation can really only be used by Liu Biao?"

Zhang Xiu's face was handsome, but her expression was a little panicked and angry.

He doesn't feel respected, he's still a general, he has tens of thousands of people under his hands, and his martial arts are not low, why don't he have an edict to appoint and dismiss?!

"Oh?! Is the general worried about this? Jia Xu stared at him unexpectedly, the feather fan fanned a few times, his face gradually relaxed and exciting, and finally he laughed a few times, and said here: "If this is the case, I would like to congratulate the general." ”

"What's the joy of?"

Zhang Xiu was confused, what did she like?

"It seems that that Cao Gong will soon come to recruit the general in person."

"At that time, the general can choose to return to the Son of Heaven, and also fulfill the wish of the first general, so that these soldiers who follow under his command have a place to go."

"The general's reward should be after Cao Gong comes."

Now, of course, there will be no bounties.

You're already in Wancheng, how can you be justified? And you're young, it's not you who bullies.

But it's good.

Jia Xu smiled secretly, if you come, you will descend, and you will reuse it.

You must know that Wancheng can be Liu Biao's first line of defense to block the north, or it can also be the first step for the north to step into Jingzhou.

With such a strategic position, how can it not be sold for a price?!

Jia Xu is very confident in his vision, but what he is most curious about now is who pushed the Son of Heaven to live in Xu Du's place behind his back.

At the beginning, there were many plans and countless suggestions, all just so that the Son of Heaven could be launched and return to Luoyang, as for who can be diligent and take over, it is up to each of them to rely on their abilities.

To put it bluntly, for Jia Xu personally, he just felt that Li Dao Guo Yan had almost no way out, and he had to find a way to leave and go to a place where he could last a long time.

Eventually, I will be able to enjoy my old age in peace.

Judging from the news of the inquiry, a name has appeared in it many times.

Xun Xiao.

Xun Xiao's words, Jia Xu has heard a little, he has a good strategy and is good at internal affairs.

But in this big situation, how could he, a young man from the Xun family, be involved.

"So, I'll just wait?"

Zhang Xiu was immediately puzzled, "Just wait?" ”

"Of course not," Jia Xu retracted his thoughts and laughed, "The general will practice day and night, strengthen the army and store food, and wait for Cao Cao to stand in the way of danger, so that he can hinder him." ”

"Wait until he can at least go to Weishui, and then discuss the matter of attachment with him."

"Oh!"

Zhang Xiu nodded hurriedly and leaned back tactically.

I see.

It's you.

Of course, the selling price must be displayed, and it is necessary to defeat Cao Jun even once, if not, it will not be reused in the future.
