After enjoying a moment of silence like this.

Yin Shi may have suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said softly.

"General, are we going to Puyang County, Dongjun County?"

Cao Ang let out an "um".

Then he replied in the same leisurely tone: "The imperial court appointed me as the Taishou of Dongjun, and I will stay there for a long time when I go to take office, so I simply take you all over." ”

"What's wrong, is there something difficult, or is there something I need to do?"

Although Cao Ang can't see it.

But Yin still instinctively shook his head.

Then he hurriedly explained: "The concubine is just thinking, after going to Puyang County, is she still living with her aunt like now?" ”

Cao Ang thought for a few breaths.

He immediately told Yin about his arrangement.

"The Queen Mother has a special identity, even if the relationship with me is close, it is not suitable to live in the Taishou Mansion."

"Therefore, I will buy another courtyard next to the Taishou Mansion of Dongjun and place the Queen Mother and them in it."

Listen to Cao Ang's words.

Yin's face was about to show joy.

Cao Ang's next words made the gentle smile on her face freeze.

"But you don't have to live with the Queen Mother and them anymore, when you get there, you pack up and move into the Taishou Mansion with Yan'er."

"Huh?!"

Yin suddenly exclaimed.

The action of moving the jade spoon was frozen in an instant, and it condensed on the spot.

His left hand covered his mouth.

The whole person's face was shocked, and he looked incredulous at Cao Ang's words.

……

"General, this can't be done, if your aunt lives in another courtyard, and the concubine moves into your mansion."

"With my aunt's intelligence, I'm afraid that when she learns about this, she will understand that the concubine is already your concubine, and she will be furious!"

"Please also ask the general to take back his order, just let the concubine live with the aunt, in fact, there is no difference, general, as long as you come to me, isn't it the same wherever the concubine lives?"

Yin looked a little panicked.

It is really the Queen Mother who has accumulated a lot of power in her heart.

belongs to a high-powered, ruthless elder, and very dignified in front of the younger generations.

She was really afraid that after the Queen Mother knew that she had a substantive relationship with General Cao, she would hate her nephew and daughter-in-law because of this.

After leaving the door of the He family, he switched to the Cao family as a concubine, which is a trivial matter.

The important thing is that his behavior is equivalent to prying the corner of his aunt's wall, and he is robbing people with his aunt!

This is bound to cause the wrath of the Queen Mother.

……

And feeling that Yin was like a wounded deer, the whole person was full of panic.

Cao Ang first patted her hand.

After motioning for her to pull out the jade spoon, she turned around, facing inward, with her right ear facing up.

With his hands around Yin's lower back, Cao Ang pressed his whole body tightly to prevent his head from slipping off his thighs.

Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.

Suddenly, a hot flashes came to the face.

The warm and humid sea breeze seems to bring Cao Ang back to the tropical oceanic climate in an instant.

Instantly made Cao Ang's nose a little itchy.

I couldn't help but rub it on the fabric.

"Hmm~"

Yin suddenly let out a grunt.

The hearts of those who listen directly are moved.

Fortunately, Cao Ang did not forget the matter, so he did not make any moves, but just took over Fang Cai's words.

"The relationship between you and me will be made public sooner or later, what's the big deal?"

"The Queen Mother is her noble identity and the mother of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, so she needs to hide it all the time, is there any special feature of your identity?"

Yin lowered his body slightly.

While twirling his right ear to Cao Ang as before, his voice was full of worry.

"The concubine doesn't want to hide it, but I'm really worried that my aunt will be dissatisfied with me because of this, and I'm also afraid that you and your aunt will have a dislike because of this."

……

Cao Ang's right hand smoothed Yin's back.

Then he said in a soft tone, but confidently: "If it's just because of this, then you don't have to worry, the Queen Mother has me to deal with it." ”

Cao Ang said with confidence.

But Yin was still a little hesitant.

Until Cao Ang frowned slightly, with a slightly commanding tone.

"Be obedient, let you move into the Taishou Mansion, and you will obediently listen to my arrangement."

"I can't give you anything else, but I can still do it if I give you an upright concubine."

"If you resolutely don't agree this time, then if there is such a chance in the future, you can only wait for my whim to think of this matter!"

When Yin Shi heard this, he was shocked.

Then there was a bit of a suddenness.

Truly!

She was blindly afraid of her aunt who was the queen mother, but she forgot that this was an opportunity for herself.

She is not the identity of the queen mother, there is no need, and she will not be a local lover for the rest of her life.

If he can become Cao Ang's concubine, then life and treatment will be very different.

Besides, her son is still Cao Ang's righteous son, if she resolutely stays outside the house, then no one can keep it when, this righteous son will become a joke.

So after a moment of contemplation.

Yin Shi gave an affirmative answer in her unique, somewhat timid tone.

"The concubine understands that everything is up to the general...... Your command, husband! ”

……

Seeing that Yin is so upright.

Cao Ang's face hidden under his dress.

Only then did a slight smile appear.

Today's decision can be regarded as his taking advantage of the trend, since he came to Yin's room, then arrange it for this young woman by the way.

As for the Queen Mother's side.

If you turn the time back, the night in Zhongmu County, Cao Ang would never have the idea of being exposed.

He had to keep up with the emotions of the Queen Mother.

But not now.

First, he found that the Queen Mother didn't have such a big sense of vinegar, and she couldn't talk about any vinegar jar at all, so she wouldn't lose her temper because of such a thing.

Second, in this year, it is normal for a woman to remarry, let alone an extremely reliable man like herself.

In the end, it is because the relationship between Cao Ang and the Queen Mother has already broken through several levels one after another.

The Queen Mother's dependence and reliance on herself is no longer what it used to be!

Therefore, once He Ying learned that she included her nephew and daughter-in-law in the room, it was normal to have a little temper and a little emotion.

But it's all very easy to appease.

So why wouldn't Cao Ang do it?

……

"Okay, don't be busy, you have just called me husband, then it should be reasonable for me to exercise a little right as a husband, right?"

"Huh?"

"Yes...... But it's still daytime! ”

Cao Ang doesn't care so much.

Anyway, his door was closed, and his window was covered.

Yin has always been low-key, rarely in contact with other people in the yard, even in broad daylight, basically no one comes to her.

What's more, today is still in their own house, even the day when they packed up their things in the courtyard and prepared to move away, the maids were even more busy so that their feet did not touch the ground, and the soles of their shoes smoked, who could come here?

So Cao Angteng got up.

threw Yin down on the couch.

Then the clothes were undressed, and the skirts and socks flew around.

Yin's half-pushed, half-done.

It seems that there is still a struggle between the demeanors.

It's just that Cao Ang then leaned in her ear and whispered a word.

"Madam, you don't want to be too loud and cause your child to be woken up, do you?"

"You don't want to be seen by him, do you?"

"Hmm......"

Cao Ang defeated the enemy with one move.

This was followed by a long and in-depth interpolation.

…………

Leisurely days.

Busy and wonderful.

Two days later, in the early morning, Cao Ang led a team of hundreds of people, including large carts and horse-drawn carriages.

Together with Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Dian Wei and several other generals, they went to Puyang County.

It is not far from Dingtao to Puyang, and the distance between the two is slightly more than that from Dingtao County to Changyi.

Although the team consisted mostly of horse-drawn carriages and large carts carrying luggage, the overall speed of the march was moderate.

Hurry up all the way and catch up with each other.

Soon more than half of the journey had passed.

It's just worth mentioning.

When he arrived in Lihu County, on the border between Dongjun and Jiyin County, a young looking scribe took the initiative to visit Cao Ang and offered to serve under Cao Ang.

For such people who are aware of current affairs.

Cao Ang has always been a comer.

And if you think about it.

Getting rid of my father's side doesn't count.

This guy seems to be the first talent to take the initiative to defect to himself.

So it doesn't matter who the person is, no matter what kind of talent he has, or if he's just a bastard.

In short, being able to take the initiative to come to himself proves that he at least has vision.

With this vision, it was enough to make Cao Ang stop and meet him alone.

……

At the moment, he is in a post house in Lihu County.

Cao Ang sat in the private room.

His guards quickly introduced a young man into the house for him.

"General, this is the gentleman who sent a post to pay a visit to you, saying that he wanted to visit you."

With Cao Ang's nod, he gestured.

Several guards quickly withdrew.

After everyone had left, the young scribe bowed to Cao Ang and made a big salute.

"In Xia Maoyu, I have seen the general!"

Cao Ang quickly stood up, walked quickly to Mao Jue, supported Mao Jue's elbow with both hands, helped him up, and introduced him to the table.

"Sir, please take a seat!"

"Don't dare to be called a gentleman, the general just calls me Xiaoxian!"

After the two of them were seated.

Cao Ang greeted and asked, "I heard that Xiaoxian is a person from Chen Liu?" ”

Mao Jue nodded and said: "Don't hide it from the general, I am a native of Chen Liupingqiu County, who has lived in the county for generations, and before I went down, he served as a small official in the county. ”

"It's just that Yanzhou has been in war for many years, and in recent years, Chenliu County has not been peaceful, and I originally planned to go south to Jingzhou to avoid the war in Yanzhou."

"It's just that I never thought that after the arrival of the general's father, that is, Cao Gong, he defeated the Yellow Turban thieves one after another, swept away the thieves, and pacified Yanzhou, so that there was no need to go south to avoid the Yanzhou Rebellion."

……

Listen to Mao Jue mention these reasons.

Cao Ang sighed a lot for a while.

Sure enough, stability and peace are the biggest catalysts for the prosperity and development of a place.

There is no war, no banditry, and the government decrees are accessible.

The talents of this place will choose to stay in their hometown, rather than go away and find a way out in other places.

Conversely, if a place is in chaos.

Years after year, it has been in war.

No matter how much you relocate, you will choose to live in a peaceful place in order to save yourself and your family's lives.

After sighing two sentences in my heart.

Cao Ang poured tea soup for Mao Jue.

Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a leisurely tone: "Since Xiaoxian came here to see me, he must want to show his strengths, please forgive me, I don't know what Xiaoxian can teach me?" ”

Listen to Cao Ang's words.

Mao Jue's expression suddenly froze.

The whole person sat upright, with his hands on his thighs, not daring to slack off.

He knows.

This is Cao Ang's introductory assessment of him.

Although he took the initiative to defect, such a fist heart will definitely be valued by Cao Ang and included in his command.

But whether his next strategy question and answer is good or not is related to Cao Ang's initial impression of him, that is, what kind of official position he can have at the beginning, or how much room for development.

And it also involves his ceiling.

The better the answer, the higher the ceiling.

On the contrary, his future is basically determined to die in the middle and lower classes, how can this not be taken seriously?

……

Mao Jue was silent for more than ten seconds.

He pondered his words carefully.

After confirming that there is no problem.

Fang Cai said to Cao Angyan: "Before leaving, there are three strategies prepared, two of which are applicable to the present, and one is to make long-term plans for the future!" ”

Cao Ang's face suddenly showed an interested look.

Just don't wait for him to ask.

Mao Jue took the initiative to speak.

"The two strategies that apply to the present are respectively called cultivation and animal husbandry."

"Cultivating is the restoration of farming that has been damaged by years of war, and because ant thieves are wreaking havoc in the Kanto region, a large amount of land has been destroyed, and countless people who have been working in the fields have been displaced."

"After the land is deserted and no one cultivates it, the most direct consequence is a reduction in grain production, not only in Yanzhou, but also in Yanzhou, where a large number of people have starved to death year after year."

"Even the army has lost its ability to fight, after all, there is no sufficient rations, how can it mobilize soldiers to fight bravely?"

Mao Jue said here.

There was a slight pause.

Looking up and seeing Cao Ang's face, he bowed his head again and again with a slight look of approval.

I couldn't help but settle down a little.

It seems that this article is barely satisfactory to Cao Ang.

He is no longer ambiguous.

Immediately compared to two fingers.

"The second is the livestock military capital, which not only includes money, but also weapons, armor, war horses, and even crossbow arrows, siege equipment and city defense equipment, and so on."

"In other words, if it is not necessary, try to avoid falling into a protracted war at this time."

"Instead, we will hoard military supplies as much as possible, and when we need them in the future, we will be able to take them out in one go, and we will be able to play a greater role!"

……

Mao Jue offered two strategies one after another.

Cao Ang is quite satisfied to be honest.

These two strategies, in other words, in a layman's way, are to accumulate grain and build high walls.

It means that Cao Ang will rest and recuperate first, accumulate strength, and hoard enough food and grass, and combat strength, and then decide to take a big step to attack.

Just rely on these two points.

Cao Ang decided that the person in front of him was a talent.

Regardless of the last point, strategies that apply to long-term thinking later are useful or useless.

These two points alone were enough for Cao Ang to grant him a pretty good official position.

Seeing Cao Ang nodding again and again.

After the color of approval on his face became more and more intense.

Mao Jue's confidence increased greatly for a while.

Immediately gestured the last finger.

"The last strategy to talk about is actually quite closely related to the current situation."

"I don't know if there will be a chance to execute it, but if there is a real opportunity in the future, and the general can grasp it."

"The rewards you can reap will be far greater than what you give!"

A commanding remark.

In an instant, Cao Ang's appetite was raised.

What strategy is so awesome?

And Mao Jue doesn't sell Guanzi.

Decisively elaborated.

"In this last policy, it is called Fengtianzi to order not to obey!"

In a word.

Cao Ang was shocked.
