"That's it, I have known Meng De since childhood, he is unkind, but I can't be unrighteous."

I'd better wait for the next opportunity, and I'll be unrighteous again.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Miao decided to give up for the time being, not to do such unpredictable things, if he wanted to break with Cao Cao, he must find a foolproof opportunity.

Cut them some slack.

Well? This Confucian is peeking at me? I'm afraid I'm a little too careful, but all those who are military planners have dirty hearts, and I guess they are thinking about how to calculate in their hearts.

"Meng De, Jin Shang came here this time, thanks to your understanding, he fled to Nanyang after the defeat."

Cao Cao happily put down the wine, full of care, and said lightly: "Originally, the Black Mountain thieves also gathered in the north, and the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu also had many figures, and even Tao Qian in Xuzhou was about to move. ”

"After this battle, the Lord is gone, and these rabble should disperse."

"This time I defeated more than 3,000 Jin Shang, I got a lot of money, more than 1,000 soldiers, 200 horses, and the loss was only dozens, but I want to thank Chang'an for the reward sent by Cao."

Dozens? Isn't that the same as nothing? At such a price, thousands of soldiers were taken, and I don't know how much money was lost.

Zhang Miao's hand trembled slightly, this number was indeed something he didn't expect, even if it was three thousand rogues, it wouldn't be like this, right?

Or is Jin Shang not good at leading troops, or is Cao Cao's elite cavalry too strong?

No, I have already seen it when I came, although this cavalry is very well armed, it has not yet reached the point of "building with a lot of money", and there are still many aspects to make up for it.

Although it was a big victory, there were also elements of relying on the art of war to counterattack and surprise, and there were also secret calculations, so I made Jin Shang fall into a personal calculation, but the gap in military strength between the two sides in this game could not reach such a point.

"Don't think about it," Cao Cao glanced at him with slanted eyes, "My spy sent the news half a month ago, this year's drought in Guanzhong, the people along the way have no rice to cook, starvation is everywhere, people who expose corpses in the wilderness are everywhere, and even those who flee the famine do not hesitate to cannibalize their children to save their lives." ”

"Jin Shang came from Chang'an, and he had to pass through these places along the way, and the food was not enough, and the soldiers and horses were multifaceted and yellow-skinned, and they were tired all the way, how could they fight?"

No wonder he dared to agree, it turned out that he had more factors to consider.

After hearing this, Zhang Han was also thinking deeply in his heart.

All he could think of at the time was a surprise, highlighting a "fast, strange, and ruthless", as if the flowers hadn't reacted when they went to the hook fence, and they had already dressed up and left.

Unexpectedly, there was also information about the drought and food shortage, and Boss Cao returned to the waves, but he still considered it very thoroughly.

"I see," Zhang Miao nodded slightly, stroked his beard and sighed, this sigh was a sigh that Cao Cao was well versed in the way of using troops, and under the simple and clear military strategy, he actually already had a complete military situation.

Zhang Miao chatted with Cao Cao for a long time, and did not leave until late at night, he put the government office in his own place, and promised Cao Cao to arrange soldiers and horses in the area from Fengqiu to Kuangting, to prevent Nanyang at the same time, and to make way for Cao Cao to go out of Yingchuan.

After talking deeply, he already understood that Cao Cao's eyes should be on Yingchuan and Xuzhou next.

Yingchuan belongs to the land of Wenhui, and talents have emerged in an endless stream for a hundred years, and Xuzhou Tao Qian has entered old age, which is also a contentious place for Cao Cao.

In the short term, there should be no chance.

Zhang Miao gave up all dissenting intentions and respected Cao Cao as his lord and chief, although Cao Cao did not accept it, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Zhang Miao out of the city, Zhang Han and Cao Cao walked together until the mountains and forests outside the city.

When he was about to get into the carriage, Zhang Miao looked back at Zhang Han, and at the same time looked at the strong man behind Zhang Han with his arms folded and his eyes lazy, so he paused, stared deeply, and asked, "This person is a little familiar, déjà vu!?" ”

Cao Cao and Zhang Han looked at Dian Wei at the same time and nodded at him.

It was Dian Wei who hugged his fists and said: "Dian was originally a pawn of Chen Liujun, but because of the conflict with the chief, he had to switch to another place. ”

"In the troubled times, Dian Mou is just to be able to eat enough."

Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression became unnatural for a moment, but he still maintained his demeanor, and smiled at Dian Wei: "It's a good thing that you can find the master, so you can do it yourself." ”

When he got on the horse, while no one heard him, Zhang Miao scolded a few words in a low voice.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and walked away.

……

"Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to end!"

"There is Dong Thief in front, and there is Xiliang General in the back! Now there are heroes from all over the country taking advantage of the opportunity, and the country is in great trouble! When will troubled times be closed? ”

"Cao Mengde, don't respect the order of the Son of Heaven! Expelled the history of His Majesty's assassination! Don't respect the king! Hypocrisy and hypocrisy can be called the culprit! ”

"There is such a thief who steals the country, it is really the misfortune of the people in troubled times, he was originally a eunuch, and he also did things that harmed the country, and the nature of fighting for power and profit, excluding dissidents is fully revealed! Appointment is not based on virtue, only by talent! Talent is like a sharp sword, the sword has a double edge, and it can hurt people! ”

"The old man will never agree!"

After the autumn harvest and before the winter, there were many drinking Confucian students in the wine houses and pavilions, and the same was true in the houses.

Bian let the banquet Confucian students, so do not ask about friendship, you can enter the house if you have a name, after a night of drinking, friends, students all spread what he said.

The thin old man Bian Rang had become a great Confucian in Yanzhou, and was deeply respected by the scholars, but he also experienced the era of the disaster of the party and witnessed the actions of the eunuchs in the early decades.

Therefore, I hate the house and Wu, and I don't agree with the so-called meritocracy from the bottom of my heart.

The late autumn was extremely cool, and the side of the robe made many friends in the deep house, and at the same time refused to meet many old friends in Yanzhou. He knew that once he spoke, his life would not be long.

He didn't want to be under Cao Cao's command, scolding his friends for the world, and he was unwilling to calm his indignation, but he understood that if he said it in public, with his identity and influence on scholars, Cao Cao would not tolerate him.

"It's a pity that the times are troubled, and it's sad and incompetent."

The thin and tired Bian Jean lay on the desk and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Winter.

"When it comes to the near winter, people's hearts are impetuous, and winter is the day of small gatherings.

"Come to think of it, after the autumn harvest, there will be some food, at least in winter, they won't worry about eating, as for the warmth, they can write poems and drink wine, and taste the world's characters, they won't feel cold." Zhang Han invited Xi Zhicai to eat and drink at home.

Xi Zhicai laughed when he heard this: "There is nothing to be done, cynical!" This is the pretension of being high-minded, and the etiquette of the scholars cannot be attached, and if they do not obey the etiquette of the scholars, they will spit and scold, which makes me in a dilemma. ”

"You might as well leave your troubles to others, why should we bother with ourselves, so I heard that Bian Rang has been arrested and died of illness in prison."

Zhang Han was stunned, raised his glass and asked, "As soon as Bian Rang died, wouldn't the rest of the scholars be rumored and scolded angrily?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "It's okay, thanks to the fact that it's winter, and the scolding is also scolding in the grass house." ”

But after he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were slightly closer to Zhang Han: "But next year's spring will be difficult, this winter can pick a leaf and be peaceful, enjoy it for a while, and next year's matter will be talked about next year." ”

"There's nothing to do today, Goolan listens to the music...... Zhang Han feels that this is what he wants to say about the sacrificial wine, but unfortunately there is no Goolan Washe in this era.

The dancing girl is also invited by the owner of the feast, or raised by the family, from slave status.

"What does this tick mean?" Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed, and suddenly he became interested, it sounded like a place to listen to music and enjoy dances, could it be a place where the royal guild of Ruoyang feasted guests in the past?

No, in the past, it was a banquet at the home mansion to facilitate the gathering of friends.

"Well, where do you usually go to Pia for wine - when you go for fun?" Zhang Han really didn't understand, since it was a small talk, he should take the opportunity to ask clearly.
