Chapter 88 The Final Choice, Dong Zhuo's Doubts [Seeking to Read and Ask for a Monthly Pass]
"Tsk!"
Cao Ang shook his head as he pouted.
Spread out the map and pretend to look at it.
He didn't think that he could take an official position of assassination from Dong Zhuo, after all, it was useless to give him this thing.
Unlike in the future, when the princes were in a scuffle, there might be three or four assassins in a state, and the position of the assassins is constant now.
One radish and one pit, there are a total of thirteen pits in the world, and an iron radish like Liu Yan can't even kick it.
So after some calculation, there are only a few pits that can be moved, and each of them is not easy to choose.
If you want to serve as a thorn or a state pastor, you must have a certain strength in the local area, and at the same time have a certain reputation and prestige in this world.
Otherwise, even if Dong Zhuo controlled the imperial court and wrote him an edict to transfer Cao Cao to serve as the assassin of a certain place, he would have no control over the local area.
Being able to grasp the county where the state capital is located is already remarkable.
In this case, it is better to simply take the position of a taishou, so that he can also control a county, and he does not have to face the constraints of other county taishou.
As for which county to choose, Cao Ang already had a plan in mind.
After pretending to rummage through the map for a while, he pointed his finger at the location of Jiyin County in Yanzhou, and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile.
"Then choose this place, although it is not a big county rich county, but it is not satisfactory."
For Cao Ang's nonsense, Dong Zhuo is now automatically immune, and some of them are good for you to pick, and there are so many forced words.
ignored Cao Ang's energy.
Dong Zhuo just picked up the map and glanced at the location of Jiyin County, and then asked with some curiosity.
"Why Jiyin County? I thought you'd choose Hejian Country in Jizhou or Pingyuan County in Qingzhou. ”
These two counties and Bohai County are neighbors and have a large area of bordering.
However, it is precisely because of this that Cao Ang would never choose these two places, he was really forced to death by Yuan Shao, how can he develop?
Leaning on the table and changing a slightly more comfortable posture, Cao Ang answered the doubts in Dong Zhuo's heart.
"In case Yuan Shao still has to raise troops to resist in the end, I will fight with him, and if I can't fight, I can still retreat with my soldiers and horses, and return to Luoyang to inform you of the news."
"But if the family business is on the edge of Bohai County, then I will run away and my family will be gone, do you think I will do such a stupid thing?"
"It's better to set up the county under my father's jurisdiction in the hinterland of the Central Plains, no matter how much he conflicts with Yuan Shao, he can't stretch his hand so long, and my father and son still have a way out."
Fair and reasonable.
Dong Zhuo believed this explanation at once.
Very much in line with Cao Ang's character.
When doing things for Dong Zhuo, he also had to take into account his own interests, which was definitely something that Cao Ang could do, and Dong Zhuo was suspicious all of a sudden.
"Okay, that's the place."
"I'll go to the palace later, and when the dispatch document is written, I'll send someone to your house."
Roll up the map on the one hand.
Dong Zhuo said jokingly: "With a son like you, Cao Mengde can really wake up laughing when he sleeps, he sat at home and didn't do anything, and he became a county guard in one leap." ”
"I can even eat a lot more every year!"
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"It's a pity, why don't I have a son like you, otherwise the old man can lie at home and wait for the good news to come to the door."
Cao Ang looked like he had forgotten his New Year's friend.
Reached out and patted Dong Zhuo on the shoulder.
said soothingly: "What's the big deal, you can't give birth to a son like me, but you can find a grandson-in-law like me!" ”
"Doesn't that mean anything?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned.
I didn't react in my head.
But after a few seconds.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing.
"I knew that your kid was beating my little white's idea, but the old man didn't object."
"If you have this heart, you can coax Xiaobai to agree, if this can be done, the old man is happy to see it."
Dong Zhuoke is an understanding person.
Although his granddaughter is his treasure, he has been very fond of this little girl since she was a child.
But when a girl grows up, she always has to get married.
Instead of picking and choosing and finding a husband who doesn't know the importance of good or bad, it is better to use Dong Bai to tie Cao Ang to the chariot of the Dong family group.
This kid is definitely a talent.
There is vision, there are means, but the bias is still black!
Such a person can mix well anywhere, if he has such a talent under his hands, why worry about big things?
……
After the two of them made up their minds.
Cao Ang bid farewell to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo sent it all the way to the gate of the mansion, and then when Cao Ang turned to leave, he arched his hands in front of him and saluted Cao Ang.
"Ziyu, the mountain is high and the road is far away, there will be a period in the future, the old man is waiting for your good news in Luoyang City!"
Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned.
Even if the two have very different positions, he is destined to embark on a zero-sum path with Dong Zhuo that confronts each other, never dies, and only one side can stand.
But at this moment, he also had to admit that Dong Zhuo was indeed a very courageous person at some moments.
When accepting Lu Bu, he took the initiative to kneel on one knee and saluted Lu Bu.
can also be so sincere when saying goodbye to yourself.
It's a pity that this is Dong Zhuo now, and this guy has already shown signs of being corrupted, and it won't be long before he is no longer the same person.
Cao Ang also bowed.
Then he turned and got into the carriage.
This may be the last time the two will meet?
……
Sit in the carriage back home.
Cao Ang collected his mood a little.
Then he also took out a map of the world from his arms, looked at the counties marked on it, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
In fact, Cao Ang struggled for a long time on the issue of which place to choose as the basic plate for the initial fortune.
First of all, this place should be adjacent to the Si Li, but it cannot be within the Si Li, so that it can not only get rid of Dong Zhuo's shackles, but also respond quickly when crusading against Dong Zhuo in the future.
The second is to be familiar with people, and it is best to be able to gather helpers in this place and develop quickly.
At the same time, only a few counties are left that meet these conditions.
Among them, Chenliu County and Yingchuan County and the hometown of Peiguo are good choices.
It's just that in the future, Chen Liutaishou is Zhang Miao, this guy is a good friend of his father Cao Cao, and he can be regarded as a hardcore ally before killing Bian Rang causes him to have a rebellious heart, so there is no need to grab territory.
As for Yingchuan County, there are too many local scholars, and they can't be counted like cow hair, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort just to sort out these relationships, how can there be time to develop?
Peiguo is located in the hinterland of Yuzhou, although the old family is familiar with the place, and the Cao family is also sitting on the ground in the area of Qiaoxian County, but it is not suitable for both the geographical location and the overall situation in the future.
So think about it.
In the end, Jiyin County was chosen.
This place is not only close, but also able to form a linkage with Chenliujun, and the power is doubled!
