"Although Chen Yuanlong is talented, he has never shown his ability in the art of war, and the reason why Bo often recommends him cannot be said to move me."

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, but still shook his head and rejected Zhang Han.

Although Chen Deng is familiar with the terrain of Guangling, it should be appropriate for a veteran to do this kind of thing by land and water.

Moreover, now that the soldiers and horses are moving slightly, the reason has not been told at all, but the troops have ordered the barracks to be moved and the grain roads to pass through each other.

Even if someone guessed that Huainan was about to be attacked, it could not be believed that it was a military order.

"Is there any other reason?" Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Han again, his eyes were quite meaningful.

Zhang Han pondered and meditated, but did not respond for the time being.

I can't say that I've seen what happened later, Chen Deng also defeated Sun Ce, right?

For what reason should you recommend merit?

Recently, I've been busy with Gong Dou, and there hasn't been any movement for a long time from the righteous father of the system, and it's like a peaceful death, except for the occasional increase in the attribute of natural growth, and the merit is not at all.

It shows that Zhang Han still needs to make more military exploits.

Now that [Henglian] has reached [Transcendence], it is like a golden body, not afraid of rushing to kill, and taking the head of the general in the army is also like probing the bag.

Therefore, Zhang Han needs to make meritorious contributions to reassure the people and save the world, so as to obtain other abilities, so that they can complement each other.

After all, the golden body is not really invulnerable, but the skin and flesh are tight when the luck is exerted, and it is not easy to be injured by bones, tendons and veins.

"Chen Deng often goes to Guangling, there are many friends in the local area, the Chen family is in the village pavilions of Guangling, there are also old officials, and there are hundreds of true and false hermits in Guangling, if they go to others, these people will run away."

"Chen Deng, there are Chen Gui and Bao Xuzhou behind him, and he can be recruited and appeased when he enters the country, which is much better than others who can only garrison troops."

"And, don't forget, the main battlefield must not be in Guangling, there are just two small roads on land and water, if Sun Ce wants to attack north, the shortest way is to take Guangling."

"Yuan Shu has coveted Xuzhou for a long time, when the lord was at war with Xuzhou, he had secretly advanced for more than 80 miles, and when he saw that the battle situation was quickly clear, he quickly evacuated."

"Chen Deng, when he is the best candidate, once he can take root in Guangling, in fact, punctuality is equivalent to one more frontier defense, and when attacking, it is an outpost, why not?"

Cao Cao thought again, and so did Guo Jia beside him, and after a while, he stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, Jia thinks that this person can be appointed." ”

"As Bo Chang just said, there is a very special feature, which is to build a strong city."

"Fortified City?"

Cao Cao and Yang Xiu, who was recording in the distance, also looked at Guo Jia at the same time.

Of course, the colors in the eyes of the two were different, and Cao Cao was looking forward to Guo Jia's next words, and decided that he had his own opinions.

And Yang Xiu simply couldn't guess what Guo Jia was going to say, what was the point of Jiancheng?

You must know that standing in front of Yang Xiu's eyes now is Cao Gong's two-person master book.

Zhang Han is already the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, with a very high official position, and real power, and can also exercise some responsibilities of judging cases and supervising hundreds of officials.

And Guo Jia is even more intellectual, with unique vision and deep thoughts, and the city government is bottomless, but his people are uninhibited and never bound by the rules.

The key is that the appearance of these two people is extremely outstanding, Zhang Junhou is handsome and handsome, and Guo Xijiu is handsome.

Yang Xiu thought about it every time, and felt that except for the fact that he could be compared with the two of them in terms of appearance and appearance, the rest were still difficult to match.

Therefore, he will try his best to keep up with Guo Jia's train of thought and speculate on what he is thinking, but Guo Jia's thoughts are so strange that few people can keep up.

Guo Jia arched his hand and said loudly: "Guangling Jiancheng is to guard the south of the land and water, so that Jiangdong can be righteously passed. ”

"Sun Ce, and even their Sun family's son's style, has always been domineering and decisive, and his methods are cruel and slaughtering, and he can't slowly win over the Jiangdong Shi clan, so he can only rely on killing."

"On the one hand, it is due to Sun Ce's own temperament, he is good at fighting and not good at connecting with the princes, which shows that he is brave and resourceful, and not good at communicating."

"On the other hand, it was Sun Ce who borrowed Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses to take Jiangdong, and after making meritorious contributions, he must quickly control his land, otherwise he will suffer disaster."

"In this way, Sun Ce and Jiangdong Shiren are actually like fire and water, no matter how many families are killed by him, they will definitely not be able to kill, and one day, he will die at his own hands."

"Jiangdong is not afraid, we only need to hold Guangling, if we can take Shouchun, set up important towns along Hefei, strictly guard against Xiaoyaojin, cut off the Yangtze River moat, Jiangdong is known as the Yangtze River can be defended, but if it is a different way of thinking, they can only be guarded behind the Yangtze River, and it is not a kind of cage imprisonment."

"Well, that's reasonable," Cao Cao nodded secretly, thinking deeply, and even the more he thought about it, the more the smile on his face grew.

Cao Cao himself has been constantly fighting with the Shi clan, and over the years, he has talked about making peace and forming alliances several times, and each taking what he needs; Several more breaks, secretly fighting.

Not to mention, the last time Jiang Shang assassinated Zhang Han and Cao Ang, didn't Cao Cao know that it was the Yingchuan clan?

Of course he knows, but he can't kill all the Yingchuan scholars, if he does it impulsively, he will cut his own roots, and he will be weak outside.

After all, even people in the countryside and mountains know that it is time to kill the donkey when the mill is unloaded.

Therefore, he knows best that once the Heshi clan reaches the time of swords, it will inevitably be contaminated with a lot of grudges, and these grudges, as one party admits defeat and surrenders, will not disappear, but accumulate and precipitate.

In the end, if the person holding the butcher's knife wants to get long-term peace and wash away his grudges, then, the butcher's knife that slaughters the warriors, its last knife must end with swinging at himself.

At this time, Cao Cao had already figured it out.

Zhang Han echoed with a smile: "I also agree with Guo Xianjiu's idea, so the Jiangdong Sun family, the real person in charge in the future, cannot be Sun Ce, but someone else." ”

"That is, Sun Jian's young son's right." Cao Cao thought about it for a while, he had seen the little doll, but he hadn't observed it carefully, and he didn't know what it said and did.

Sun Ce is actually in a very similar situation to Dong Zhuo at the beginning, even if the scholars around him are afraid and the scholars are attached, but it is all because of fear.

In the bottom of his heart, he can't wait to deal with it quickly and then set up another person, so the best thing for the Sun family to do is to sacrifice Sun Ce and let him continue to be brave and hard, and burn himself.

And secretly, let the elegant younger brother Sun Quan make friends with scholars, gentry and even Bai Ding sages, so as to ensure that one of the Sun family has the prestige of the military authority, and the other can be favored by the scholars.

Of course, these are just speculations, and more information from Jiangdong is needed to be truly verified.

"In the long run, from Guangling to Jiujiang, it is necessary to develop agriculture, commerce and trade, and at the same time send a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison strongly, in order to hold on."

Zhang Han and Guo Jia made one statement, and the other seconded it, and at this moment, they even recommended Chen Deng at the same time.

It is according to the long-term plan that Chen Deng is the most suitable, and it is not difficult at all to collect Guangling and garrison Sun Ce at this moment.

Those generals who are recommended can choose anyone, but it is the best policy to govern for a long time.

The more stable and prosperous the frontier becomes, the more the enemy will have to pay when it conquers.

In addition, once the territory expands, it can also become an important town center, which is of great significance.

Cao Cao suddenly looked at them with a smile and said softly, "This is also the result of your discussion around the fireplace?" ”

"Nope."

"It's not."

"Don't think like that, lord!"

The two replied back and forth, but there was no tacit understanding at all, Cao Cao smiled and said nothing.

Yang Xiu next to him listened to it all over his ears, this was the fourth time he had heard the word "around the hearth", but he only felt surprised in his heart, and he still didn't yearn for it.

……

In the evening, Chen Deng, who came from Hanoi, arrived at Sikong Mansion to report on his work and visited Cao Cao, and then went straight to Shaoqing's mansion.

That is, Zhang Bancheng Mansion.

In the side hall, I deliberately chatted with Zhang Han privately before the dinner began.

"Bo Chang and the sacrificial wine, both recommended me to serve in Guangling, and Sikong gave three thousand elite soldiers today, which is unheard of before."

When it came to the transfer, Chen Deng even felt a little disillusioned, because Cao Cao was willing to give him his soldiers and horses.

It must be known that Chen Deng is not Cao Cao's confidant, according to common sense in the past, it should be a clan general, and it is reasonable for him to assist him.

"This is the trust you should get in governing Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Hanoi," Zhang Hanyan said succinctly, "The lord asked me if I intended to recommend you, so that you can show your skills and make achievements." ”

"I said that I didn't do it deliberately, nor did I want to consolidate my wings, Chen Deng was originally a malleable talent, good at both civil and military affairs, and in his early years, he was a ranger in all directions, and he was to Lulong, and he was by no means a person who was afraid of moving forward and was not good at the art of war."

"Bo Chang's words have won my heart, but the world only knows that I Chen Deng is from a famous family, with a noble identity and a frank career, who will see these sufferings?!"

"Bo Chang, those who know me are also."

Chen Deng bowed his hand and was very grateful.

That night, he got drunk in Zhang Han's mansion, listened to many people's suggestions, and received a lot of funding from Sun Qian and Mi Zhu.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Han deliberately got up early in the morning, sent Chen Deng out of the city to the barracks, and asked Gao Shun to personally take him to lead the soldiers and horses.

Gao Shun's prestige is not small, and his reputation of impartiality and selflessness has made many soldiers admire, and he is not afraid of death when he charges into battle, which is admirable.

Chen Deng was so moved by this kind of treatment, especially Zhang Han actually ...... for him Early?!

You must know that Zhang Han can't even get up in the early morning, and often takes leave, even if he has no choice but to go to the palace, he is dozing.

For his own sake, he took the initiative to get up early in the morning, yawned all the way to the city gate, and even arranged for Gao Shun to accompany him to the barracks.

"Bo Chang, the advice of many virtuous friends last night was kept in mind, and after today, I will establish a meritorious career in Guangling, and live up to the expectations of Shaoqing and sacrificial wine."

"Okay, good," Zhang Han waved his hand indifferently, "There will be a period later, I will become famous as soon as possible, and come back to the fireplace for a discussion." ”

"Okay," Chen Deng gave up his hand and Zhang Han separated, took advantage of the daylight to get up, and went to the barracks with Gao Shun to lead the troops.

Dian Wei and Zhang Han led the horse and walked on the way back.

Zhang Han patted Chitu's neck as he walked, and at the same time, Dian Wei asked boredly, "Why did the prince get up so early today?" ”

"The villa outside the city, and the mountain, will collect another batch of slaves and reclaim the land around the foot of the mountain," Zhang Han looked at Dian Wei, "Xian'er has already collected a lot, and when the time comes, take it over to deter." ”

"Hey."

Dian Wei nodded in response, this kind of thing has always been done by him, and it is simple, to that station, these slave men and women are naturally afraid of soldiers.

What's more, it's a fierce man like Dian Wei, and it will be fine to set some rules when the time comes.

Madame Cao can dispatch fifty guards, all of whom are loyal and outstanding in martial arts in the black-robed armored horse, and these people can protect the safety of the villa.

"Also, Ziyu has been with us for two years, I talked to Fengxiao about this matter last night, after the school affairs were selected, many children of the Cao family, Xiahou family, and Ding family are not suitable for school affairs, and it is idle time."

"After that, let Zi Yu gather them together, raise another army, and you and Wen He will go to practice."

"Hey, no problem."

Dian Wei nodded in response, anyway, the eight hundred people in the black robe and armor were not under his control, except for the guards on duty, they were actually very idle on weekdays.

A bit of a terracotta belt is also good.

Dian Wei is not like other generals, he has to take care of the identity of these clansmen, he only listens to the orders of Zhang Han and Cao Cao, and even, if Cao Cao crosses Zhang Han and asks him to do something, he will come to ask.

So he doesn't care about the face of his clan relatives at all, and he can treat everyone equally.

"Besides, did you make the sand table that you asked a craftsman to make last time?"

"Eh, it's almost," Dian Wei nodded, and said in an urn voice: "The prince will find someone to compare with the map at night, and then make fewer changes, but it's big." ”

"What are you afraid of," Zhang Han disagreed, "Can it be as big as my mansion?" If it doesn't work, put it in the yard. ”

The news of Zhang Han and Guo Jia's recommendation of Chen Deng soon spread throughout the inner city.

But all scholars can guess that transferring Chen Deng from Hanoi County to Guangling as a taishou and giving thousands of soldiers and horses is a real experience.

Within one year, he had made good progress in water conservancy and farming, increasing the population by more than 30,000 households and obtaining 160,000 yuan of grain and grass.

It was already three times the harvest of Zhang Yang, Zhenggu and others when they occupied Hanoi.

With this merit, let him go out to lead the troops and give him all the military and political power in a place, so he is naturally accumulating political achievements and experience.

Unconsciously, the eldest son of the Chen family has gradually begun to take charge of himself and become a famous person in the world.

If Guangling can be collected this time, his future future is also limitless.

"Fireside Talk......

Yang Xiu was in the house at night, and wrote this scene with simple words.

The civil and military are harmonious, arbitrary and chic, and they talk freely with each other, and they are warm.

"Hmm, this hearth can still have the effect of the year's moon and dan commentary? Those who are shortlisted for the furnace are all outstanding people, and those who are not allowed to enter are like grass mustard. ”

"It's not right, after all, the hearth is the banquet of the prince himself, of course, most of his friends, it is not easy to judge the world's figures. Now that there are many students, perhaps this matter can be made a big fuss. ”

Yang Xiu put his hands behind his back, and as soon as the idea of a flash of inspiration came out, his interest immediately soared.

"I, Yang Dezu, don't admire the joy of this fireplace, but I know that this matter can be popular, and it may become a good story this winter."

"Hehe, I'm also for the Han Rulin."

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu immediately clapped his hands with his fists, changed into a thick robe, and asked his subordinates to prepare the carriage and go straight to Zhang Han's mansion.

He asked to see Zhang Han and inform him of the matter, and then he could work together to attract the talents of Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou.

……

to the door.

Yang Xiu waited at the door, and after a short time, Ji Boxiao came back, strode up the stairs, bowed and said: "Master Yang, my prince said that you came just in time, and the cooks in the courtyard are preparing for tonight's fireside banquet." ”

"And today I just moved the sand table of three zhang, would you like to come to the banquet? What can be said in the evening. ”

"Good!" Yang Xiu was suddenly excited, and then immediately realized that something was wrong in the middle of his words, and returned to his unruly and unruly, nodded with a plain and elegant expression, and said softly: "Okay, since the prince invited, I don't dare to disobey." ”

"No," Ji Boxiao was a real person, and hurriedly explained: "The prince was not invited, he meant that he was busy at the moment, if Master Yang had no urgent matter, he could go back first, and he would go to Sikong Mansion tomorrow to pay a visit." ”

"Uh, I ......"

Yang Xiu frowned, looked at him stunned for a long time, and had an urge to punch him.

You can just let me in without explaining? Do you have to explain it clearly!?
