"Hehehe," Cao Cao chuckled, invited Yang Biao to continue walking, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Hongnong Yang's reputation is not a sentence that the clear person can stay out of the matter by clearing himself and the turbid person by turbidity. ”

"I'm also helping you, if someone in the court uses this to slander, what will Your Majesty think?"

"So, I want Taiwei Yang to do his best for me and stabilize Xu Du."

Relying on the strength of Xun Yu alone, once a major event happens, the scholars gather together to seize power, and unite Hebei Yuan Shao inside and outside, and the victory is unknown.

He didn't like this hidden danger, not even the slightest bit.

"Cao Gong, I don't have this ability, and even if I have a handle for people to speak, there is no evidence."

"What if there is evidence?" Cao Cao looked back at him, his expression like a tiger staring at his prey.

Yang Biao's heart trembled, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was already clenched into a fist.

He was naturally nervous in his heart, it wasn't that Yang Biao really had any secret dealings with Huainan Yuan Shu, but Cao Cao spoke like this, as if there was conclusive evidence that he had become a collaborator.

This made Yang Biao puzzled, and he was even more afraid in his heart, Cao Sikong's methods have always been calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and he can't tell which day his reputation will be ruined, which is extremely terrifying.

He was speechless and just waited for Cao Cao to follow, because what he said now might be wrong.

Cao Cao stared at him for a moment, then laughed loudly while patting Yang Biao's back, and at this point, the two of them had completed the stairs on both sides of the Jinwu Guard's strict formation.

Striding to the square, preparing to turn out of Chengde Gate, without the stubborn Jin Wuwei, the atmosphere is not so depressing.

Cao Cao finished laughing and said lightly: "Fang Cai, it's just a joke." ”

"Sikong, this is a matter of my family's reputation, don't dare to take it as a joke."

"Well, that's right," Cao Cao's tone became brisk, "Dezu is the master of my office, and he has always been dedicated to his duties and talents, and he has kept all the documents in order for me, and I like it." ”

"Therefore, I want to take him with me to conquer Huainan, if he can win, it will also be a good experience for him, he can learn from it, and he can also experience it."

Yang Biao fell into silence again, his mood was more complicated, and there was no need to ponder whether Cao Cao's praise was true or false.

But he wants to take Yang Xiu on the expedition, which seems to be a meritorious achievement, but he is also an official for many years and has experienced life and death, how can he not see it.

This is to keep the eldest son of the Yang family by his side to ensure that he will not act rashly in Xu.

Moreover, the purpose of Cao Cao's actions will never be so simple.

Yang Biao sighed faintly in his heart: He must have said first that I would agree with Yang Xiu to go with the army, and then take the Yang family as an example, and then take away the rest of the sons of the ministers.

In this way, Cao Cao used the order to raise these ministers' clansmen again, which not only gave favors and allowed everyone to be fair and gracious, but also laid an important step for today's matter.

Of course, every young talent who has been promoted will work hard, and they all have their own merits.

Taking advantage of the merits, they can naturally take it with them, and if I don't object, they will definitely not dare to object, after all, the Yang family is always an example.

I can see through it, so I am afraid.

Cao Cao's move is equivalent to asking the princes for protons in the past years, in order to restrain their fiefdom from rebelling, if there is a change, he will first kill the proton in front of his eyes, and then tell the world that he does not care about the evil of his son-in-law.

That's it, let's plant an unfaithful, unkind, ruthless and unrighteous first!

"Dezu is young, and his body is weak and difficult to walk."

"Hmm," the corners of Cao Cao's mouth furrowed, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, "Last night, your son Yang Dezu went to the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple late at night. ”

"When I came to the court today, Bo Chang told me that last night, Dezu and our army's sacrificial wine, Chen Liutaishou, Jia Xu and other advisers discussed the strategy of attacking Huainan on a newly acquired military strategy sand table."

"Among them, they all explained in detail the route of the march, the geometry of grain and grass, how to transfer troops, who to send generals, and even how many shadows had been laid in Huainan before, all of which were discussed in detail."

"Dezu, from beginning to end, he listens to his ears and has some opinions."

"I Wen Dezu has the ability to never forget since he was a child, and in my Sikong Mansion for half a year, he has shown his talent to the fullest, not only to never forget, but also to remember the things he has heard, even if it is thousands of words of humanities and military information, he can recite and write it down to me word for word."

"Captain, you say...... How is it good? ”

Yang Biao's hands were originally crossed in front of him, but now after listening, the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat, and his ten fingers were quietly clasped, and it was already a big mess.

No wonder......

Cao Mengde came to me today, and it turned out that he had such a handle in his hand.

Dezu, Dezu, you really think you're smart, and you think you're talented......

The more you show this ability, the more people will know, and you were present to listen to the discussion of the military situation last night, if the march and battle in the future go the slightest way, it will be a crime of collaborating with the enemy directly on the head.

Even if there is no evidence, rumors alone can make you doomed.

What are you doing in that Shaoqing Mansion!!

That place is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and the rules in my clan are directly befriended by famous people from Confucianism.

Why do you feast and drink with these people who are good at intrigue and trickery, you don't know how you died......

At this time, Yang Biao's shoulders collapsed, and his upper body seemed to be carrying a full sack with all his might, but now it was sagging.

The two hands also fell apart and fell on the sides of the legs, and the sleeve robe shook slightly, and it was much older in an instant.

He said in a deep voice: "Sikong, in order to prove his innocence, he should follow you, but as a father, how can you not worry about your children." ”

"Fang is my father, and I am worried that my only son is not qualified to be a horseman, but ...... Why don't you let me go home and ask him, and if he wants to, I'll go to Sikong Mansion and answer immediately? ”

"Well, okay, it's good if you understand," Cao Cao nodded lightly.

Yang Biao said again: "I thought about it just now, and I thought of another truth. ”

"What's the reason?"

"The expedition abroad is for the heroes, the heart of the ministers in the palace is for loyalty, and the commonplace is the great Han Rong and the horse, I am only thin and shallow, and I should also be like a candle to keep the peace of the capital for the commonplace, so as not to disturb the morale of the army."

"Well," Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction, "you know, that's great." ”

"Go back and tell Dezu, it's best for you to tell you the news."

"Congratulations."

On this day, Yang Biao bowed and sent Cao Cao into the carriage under the Chengde Gate, in front of the civil and military officials, and respectfully watched his car drive away.

This state made many people see it in their eyes, and their hearts were full of thoughts, and it became a tide of words, blowing into the homes of many courtiers in the inner city.

Overnight, in the mansion of the officials, sighs, surprises, puzzles and anger can be described as all kinds of things, and some of the school affairs can be glimpsed, collected and summarized in the mansion for the inspection of the drama loyalty.

……

When Yang Biao returned home, Yang Xiu had just returned from Sikong Mansion.

As soon as I saw my father at home, I happily came to the main hall to say goodbye, and talked about what I saw and heard in Shaoqing's mansion last night.

"Father doesn't know, my son finally experienced the feeling of Emperor Guangwu once, the sand table plastic map, such as the terrain in front of you, such a plan for the march, than the drawings are more convenient."

"I am sure that this expedition against Yuan Shu will definitely be able to catch him off guard, because our army is marching slowly, step by step, building grain roads along the way, and can choose several rivers to transport grain and grass, and it can be hundreds of miles away in a few days, how convenient!"

"In addition, Runan, Yingchuan, and Guangling are also extremely strategically important places—"

"Dezu," Yang Biao couldn't bear to interrupt his interest, but he still opened his mouth to stop Yang Xiu.

Because he can't listen anymore.

Maybe last night, those wicked people present in the Shaoqing Mansion were just smiling and looking at their son's bold words and indulging in his layout, and they should think that he was actually extremely stupid.

"Father," Yang Xiu thought that he had been praising others and annoyed his father.

Or maybe something unpleasant happened in the court today.

"I, the Yang family, have always had an in-law with the Yuan family, and your mother is the little sister of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's lineage, we should actually avoid suspicion and refuge, and not be criticized by others, and disturb the Sikong in the rear to discuss Yuan Shu."

"It can't be suspected, secretly communicate with Yuan Shao, and take advantage of Sikong to go to Yangzhou to seek Xu Du."

"In the third year of the early peace, Sikong conquered Xuzhou, and in the hinterland of Yanzhou, there was a strategist Chen Gong, and Chen Liutai, one of the eight chefs at that time, guarded Zhang Miao, and wanted to welcome Lu Bu to rebel against Sikong, but he was planned to be calculated, but he was defeated and fled."

"Because of the rebellion in the rear, no one wants to be betrayed, although they have not suffered a catastrophe. Sikong cares a lot about such things. ”

Yang Xiu was stunned, why did he suddenly talk about this.

Yang Biao took a deep breath, barely squeezed out a smile, and said kindly: "Xiu'er, you went to Shaoqing's Mansion last night, but you didn't know that the hearth was the favorite banquet place for Cao Sikong's ministers in the early years. ”

"Therefore, it is Zhang Shaoqing who invites him, sacrificing wine, Taishou, joining the army, and even the eldest son of the Cao family is here."

"There, it's not what you think, it belongs to the rough gathering of Bai Ding and Hanmen, and it is Cao Ying's place to seek exchange......"

"Ahh Yang Xiu stood up like an electric shock when he heard this, he thought it was just fun to play!

Even if it's a sand inventory and a paper talk, it's just a new gadget between strategists, just a pleasure!

"However, last night, those civil and military officers were quite lazy, drinking and having fun, and debauchery, and there was no scrutiny of the advisers at all."

"Military intelligence, did you hear that?"

"I heard it," Yang Xiu lowered his head, and he couldn't forget it now.

"When you do things in Sikong Mansion on weekdays, do you often show your unforgettable and superhuman talents to outsiders?"

Yang Xiu was silent, lowered his head and stood straight, if he looked closely, he could see that his eyes were hollow, and his limbs were trembling slightly, as if he was in a cold realm.

That's the more he thinks about it now, the more terrifying he feels.

Every step he stepped on, from the moment he entered Sikong Mansion, he stepped into Sikong's trap.

He can take it at any time and make a big fuss about it, and Yang Xiu still thinks ...... Sikong Mansion is calm and there is no danger.

This can only show that he, and them, are by no means the same level of people.

If Yang Xiu is on the mountainside, he will not see the mountain peaks when he looks up, but the thick clouds and mist, and he does not know the geometry of the mountain height.

This sense of powerlessness makes you know how small you are.

"Xiu'er, think about it," Yang Biao sighed sincerely, "For the sake of your children and grandchildren, you chose a name when you were young, and your family invited Gaoxian to give you a reputation, why is this?" It's not to make you proud and complacent, feel that you are talented, and there is no one in your eyes. ”

"Rather, so that you can walk steadily in the future, you should understand since you were a child that the greater your fame, the more you gain, and the farther away from people of the same age, the more you should be cautious, because the more you come out of the same age group, and walk alone, they can look to you for self-examination, but your road ahead must be opened up by yourself, and those who are not strong in heart cannot pass also."

"Today, Cao Gong mentioned something, I have understood, so my father should do his best to protect the peace of Xu Du in the court, and not to regenerate chaos, so as to appease Cao Gong's heart."

"Xiu'er, you should accompany Cao Gong Rongma, study hard and work hard, go through the battlefield, take meager credit, and return safely, so that this disaster can be overcome."

"Son, son......" Yang Xiu's body shook, his heart was restless, his legs were weak, he knelt in front of him, his hands were forcibly arched, and he said miserably: "Son, obey my father's teachings." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiu had already understood the whole story, he knew so much military information last night, which was equivalent to letting others take care of it.

If you don't act cautiously and follow the left and right, I'm afraid that Cao Gong will definitely take advantage of this to get rid of the Yang family!

At that time, it will really be irretrievable and its reputation will be ruined!

"Xiu'er, be cautious in your words and deeds to last a long time. If you can understand this truth, this loss will not be in vain. Yang Biao sat at home for a long time, and he kept thinking about what face he would use to treat Yang Xiu when he came back.

It is useless to be harsh, because once such a major event is revealed, Yang Xiuben will blame himself for being decadent, ashamed, and where do he need others to insult him again.

Yang Biao has always believed in this truth, although the disciples are strict, but they should focus on the hour, and they should be unruly and clever on weekdays, and they should be harshly and seriously.

But when they really make a big mistake because of an unintentional mistake, they themselves want to die, so they should no longer spit on and shirk, but should bear it together.

Presumably, in this way, he will remember it more and will not develop the character of being afraid of his parents.

What Yang Biao is afraid of is not that Yang Xiu will make mistakes, or that as parents, they are not afraid of their children making mistakes, but they are most afraid of their children making mistakes, but they dare not tell themselves, so that in the end it will cause irreparable disasters.

He paused and was quiet for a long time, exhaled a breath, and then said: "For Zhang Shaoqing and Guo Xianjiu, you must not hate them." ”

"You should humbly ask for advice, as for Cao Gongzi Ang, if he is really as famous as he is a dignified gentleman, benevolent and righteous demeanor, you should follow the left and right, and not be arrogant."

Yang Xiu knelt on the ground and bowed: "Son, remember." ”

"Wu'er," Yang Biao smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Go wash up, don't think about anything, sleep well, and go to ask for orders tomorrow and go out with the army." ”

"Father!" Yang Xiu's nose finally became sour, and at this moment he remembered his previous arrogance and pride, his face was red and his ears were red, and he was ashamed on the spot.

He understands what his father has paid for this matter.

It was he who followed the Han Emperor and assisted him for many years, and he has always adhered to it without losing it...... Standpoint.

Now, it's lost.

……

Under the moonlight.

After Zhang Han and Dian Wei discussed, he wiped his sweat with a cloth and leaned on the stairs casually.

looked at the old scribe standing under the eaves, and grinned: "Lao Jia, do you say that after Yang Biao goes back, will he beat and scold Yang Dezu?" ”

"Eh, no, let me ask this, you said that Yang Xiu knew about the fireside last night and used it to coerce his father to stand in line, would he hate me to the core?"

Zhang Han smiled kindly, but under this kindness, there was a hidden meaning.

Jia Xu felt a chill on his back, and the demeanor of the two fierce generals was gone.

Instead of a trot that was so familiar that it was distressing, he ran straight into the house, hugging the door, and half of his face was exposed.

"Prince! Listen to my explanation, I, I don't have this kind of mind, I really make meritorious contributions to the prince! ”

"That Yang clan is already on the cusp, if you don't want to be removed, you must choose a tree to live in, Yang Biao is a smart person, he will definitely persuade Yang Xiu to make friends with the prince and marquis, and follow left and right."

"Don't do it, don't believe it, how long will it take a few days? Wait a few days, just a few days! There will be good news. ”

Jia Xu was full of smiles, looking at the angry eyes of the vicious Dian Wei on the left, and sneering Zhang Han on the right.

He panicked in his heart, but at this time, even if there were a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it.

Heaven and earth conscience, I really think so! That Yang Xiu would never dare to hate, he would definitely choose to follow and make meritorious contributions, and then keep this matter in mind.

Their family style is not the kind of family style that takes risks, otherwise how can there be hundreds of years of Yanzuo?!

No, now that the prince and the dian Sima definitely don't believe it, they like to find reasons to toss the old man.

Dangerous.
