Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 146 The famous scene of green plum season, please me, of course I will go.

When I saw this wooden sign for ten consecutive days, the content was almost the same.

Guo Jia didn't intend to report any more.

But today Cao Cao asked, so he presented the matter to him again.

Liu Bei is really keeping a low profile.

"I believe that this person is intelligent and has hidden ambitions. He is definitely not an ordinary person. If my lord has any concerns, he must be placed under house arrest in Xudu, and he must not be released as a foreign minister."

At this time, Guo Jia, who was dressed in black and had long hair tied behind his head, cupped his hands, with a serious expression on his face.

He has already felt that Liu Bei's ambition is hidden in his heart, and now he is obsessed with cultivating fields at home, planting crops, and occasionally compiling straw sandals.

The real important tasks have already been left to the deputy to take care of himself. He, the left general and the uncle of the emperor, seems to have lost his fighting spirit and only cares about enjoying himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu stood up and cupped his hands, and said loudly: "If I remember correctly, at the end of the year, his second and third younger brothers came to visit."

"During the period, Zhang Yide reprimanded him a few words in anger, but was stopped by Guan Yu, and then Liu Bei's expression did not change, he still smiled without saying a word, and he never tired of it."

"It can be seen that his tenacity is incomparable even to those well-known civil servants, generals, princes and heroes. There is no second person here who can be so forbearing."

Cheng Yu pretended to be thinking hard, but in fact, in his words, he had already explained all the hidden dangers of Liu Bei now.

"Hehehe..."

When Cao Cao heard this, he just smiled slightly.

Quite emotional.

"Ugh……"

"How can I not know my ambition?"

He knew very well in his heart that Liu Bei's ambition remained undiminished.

The more stable Liu Bei is in Xudu, the more convinced Cao Cao will be.

But now, Dong Cheng and Yang Biao still haven't been forced to act first.

Only by suppressing these two people can we deal with Liu Bei with confidence and boldness, otherwise we will be designated as Yuan Shu and Dong thief, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Although there is no fear of the princes of the world attacking together, there is no need to give up the prestige and popular support gained over the years for this.

The pros and cons, Cao Cao knew very well.

Plus, he really didn't want to kill Liu Bei.

If it is still possible to recruit, it must be much better than killing him.

Kill him, and the two generals Guan and Zhang will definitely rebel immediately, which will cause no small disaster.

"Wen Ruo."

"Prime Minister."

When Xun Yu was called, his eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was normal, and he stood up and bowed helplessly.

"how do you feel?"

"I... think that since he has such leisure and elegance, he should be afraid of the prime minister, so he doesn't dare to make trouble in Xudu."

"Liu Bei, who is now regarded as the emperor's uncle, should have gotten acquainted with many ministers as soon as possible within a few months, but he only listened to the prime minister's orders and did not interact with other officials. This is showing his heart."

"If the prime minister wants to suppress it, it will actually chill the hearts of the courtiers around him, and it will not benefit Xu Du's appearance. However, his appointment as the emperor's uncle is a fait accompli, so we must guard against it."

"The prime minister can order Liu Bei to accompany him on the march in the future, so that the two generals Guan and Zhang can be taken for his own use."

"As expected of Wen Ruo, you know what I'm thinking."

Cao Cao smiled lightly.

"Well, I didn't mean to kill him."

He said firmly.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I still say the same thing."

Cao Cao looked straight ahead, stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "I can accommodate even this world, how can I not accommodate a little Liu Bei."

"He is just like Bowen."

"Now Bowen is not sincerely attached to him. I am very moved by his loyalty. Xu Zhen accounts for half of the current achievements of the school administration, but he does not take any of it. name."

"Why?"

Xi Zhicai immediately showed his head uncertainly and said: "The reason is, what the lord said back then, you don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious when you employ people?"

"Not bad!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, turned his head to see where Xi Zhicai was, pointed to him and said, "That's it, do you remember how Chen Gong and Zhang Miao persuaded me when they rebelled?"

"Yes, I once said that it is precisely because Duke Ming has such a heart that people with lofty ideals in the world can follow him wholeheartedly. This is true for me, and so is Bo Wen. Now all the gentlemen present here are like this."

"now it's right."

"Go and call Xu Bowen, go and invite Liu Bei to the viewing platform. Now that the green plums are gradually ripening, I naturally want to invite him to cook wine and eat together."

"Besides, if I remember correctly, Gongsun Zan was once Liu Bei's senior brother, and Liu Bei defected to him for two years. Now that Gongsun Zan has been destroyed, I want to chat with him."

"Here!"

this spring.

To be precise, it was when the year-end of last year was approaching.

Yuan Shao defeated the Black Mountain Army and besieged Yijing again.

Using the method of excavation, they entered under Yi Jing, beheaded the defenders from the inside, and opened the city gate to welcome the army in. Gongsun Zan's army could not resist, but retreated steadily.

In the end, some soldiers even surrendered first.

But Gongsun Zan knew that the situation was over, so he locked his whole family in the high-rise building in Yijing and set it on fire. Before the flames burned out, he had already killed all his relatives and relatives.

Then he committed suicide.

So far, the prefects of the prefectures of Youzhou have returned to Yuan Shao, welcome Yuan Shao to sit in Youzhou, govern the internal affairs, benefit the people, and promote farming.

Later, Yuan Shao asked his second son, Yuan Xi, to represent Youzhou, and handed over all important military and political affairs of Youzhou to his son.

Prior to this, the important affairs of Qingzhou had been handed over to the eldest son Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shao still brought him by his side and taught him carefully.

He has never grown up, if he grows up, Yuan Shao is willing to hand over Bingzhou to him.

The three sons under his command each have counselors to follow and teach, this is also the way Yuan Shao used to weigh the counselors under his command.

Sit and watch his sons and heirs compete, each with their own merits, as long as he is still there, he can watch many counselors under his command assist his son and strengthen the land of the four states, while he sits firmly in Jizhou and farms for thousands of miles.

Now that the situation is under control, it is time to fix the internal troubles in Youzhou, win over the hearts of the wealthy families in the territory, and suppress those who are not troubled.

It will take years to stabilize the place.

But in any case, although it was a few months later, like Cao Cao, he also eliminated the surrounding enemies.

Now all the enemies in the north are gone, only Cao Cao, an old acquaintance who followed behind and was not in the eyes.

"It's just an eunuch and ugly, look at me like I used to, play with my hands!"

Gongsun Zan, who was famous in Youzhou, was defeated by me, and Cao Cao Yanzhou was all given to me, so how can he be against us.

……

Shu Chenghou's mansion.

When the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived, Dian Wei came in to report.

As soon as I arrived at the study of the middle courtyard, I found that Xu Zhen was the same as before, her legs were numb from kneeling and sitting, and she was squatting on the futon in a very strange squatting posture.

He is reading a book with his head bowed at his desk.

The expression is quite uncomfortable.

It seems that things are not going well.

"Your Majesty."

"Well, what's the matter? There is no political affairs today. If there is nothing to do, go find your brother for a drink and don't bother me."

Xu Zhen said lazily.

Spring is here, and Xu Zhen is in a relatively sleepy state every day during this time.

Speaking is also weak.

"The prime minister has an order for you and me to go to the viewing platform together and pick green plums to enjoy the scenery."

"Besides, I guess I really have something to say, and I specifically said that I don't want Su Wei, so I asked you to accompany me, and called Uncle Liu Huang."

"Tsk," Xu Zhen immediately put down the letter.

famous scene.

[You finish reading, self-discipline value +20]

"Oh! It's so annoying!"

Xu Zhen roared suddenly, causing Dian Wei to pat his head for no reason.

"Yeah, I find it annoying too."

"Drinking with the prime minister is meaningless, shameless."

Dian Wei came closer and whispered, "He wrote poems when he couldn't drink, and asked me if I wrote well."

"Then you say that next time," Xu Zhen's expression was serious and sincere, as if he was teaching. Naturally, Dian Wei came closer to listen with particular interest.

"Tell me, this poem is generous and magnificent. It not only has the charm of ancient style, but also has a great talent and strategy. It quotes scriptures to express its pride! The only regret is that I didn't pay attention to it just now."

Dian Wei: "..."

Tsk, I'm bothering you.

Make me happy again.

So if you don't get hacked to death with a few knives, you will be a ghost on the banquet stage. Do you really think I'm stupid?I am smart.

"Will you go then?"

"Go! Call Kong Ming and take him to see the excitement as a teacher." Xu Zhen frowned and got up immediately. Can I not go to this kind of thing.

It's all said and done, what else can I do.

What's more, my thoughts are completely dry, and it is basically impossible for me to enter the state now.

Let's see how they fight!
The famous green plum boiled wine, although it will be late, will never be absent.

Sure enough, it happened in the spring of this year.

……

Near noon, the spring sun is warm and the sun is bright.

It was true that a few dark clouds passed by, but Xu Zhenyuan took a look at it, but felt that there would be no thunder.

If there is no thunder, what will Liu Bei do?

If you can't hide from Boss Cao's soul, that's it.

On the viewing platform, Cao Cao is already waiting.

The viewing platform of the Prime Minister's Mansion is fifteen feet high, with a pavilion in the shape of a pavilion, and a roof made of hexagonal corners.

There are six stone couches in the pavilion, on which are placed case letters. The main seat is slightly wider and more gorgeous, distinguished by carved patterns, which are vivid tiger patterns and lifelike expressions.

The rest are all guest seats. At the moment, gourmet snacks, melons, fruits and vegetables are placed on the guest seats, all of which are precious food.

I also specially prepared multiple servings of food for one of the cases, and the fruit plate and vegetable plate were almost full.

Xu Zhen brought Dian Wei and Zhuge Liang up, and Cao Cao had already taken off his shoes on the main seat and was enjoying the scenery.

At this time, he said softly without looking back: "Dian Wei, go find the table with the most food."

"Eh!"

"Berwin is sitting on my right side."

"Here!"

Xu Zhen sat down as said.

Now that Liu Bei is not here, Cao Cao just talked to Xu Zhen about the current situation in the world, and talked about the refugees who went south from Weijun. Now there are thousands of people who have been resettled in Puyang.

Moreover, the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Guandu, Baima, and Yanjin gradually increased, and the future situation will gradually improve.

Taking advantage of the first withdrawal, Cao Cao did not let go of the moment when he was competing with Yuan Shao for both sides of the Yellow River, so he seized the opportunity.

"This opportunity is not to take the lead."

"It should be his goal to let Yuan Shao have a military strategy to fight against me when I conquer Lu Bu, and to compete with me for the banks of the Yellow River."

Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked, "Do you want to conquer Lu Bu?"

"Hehehe," Cao Cao laughed and looked back at Xu Zhen, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Of course I want to hit him."

"Lu Bu is nothing. He has quite a few generals under his command, and they are all pretty good."

I still like to accept generals again.

"What the lord said is very true."

"It's not just that," Cao Cao sighed slightly, "Yuan Shao's seizure of this ferry is inevitable. Instead of spending more money with him, it's better to do something else."

"Boy, you still have a lot to learn. The dispute between me and Yuan Shao is not only here. In fact, from now on, it will be the whole world."

Xu Zhen looked humble, bowed and said lightly: "My servant, listen carefully to the teachings and wait and see."

The two looked at each other deeply, and Cao Cao smiled gratifiedly.

While speaking, Liu Bei was brought by Su Wei.

He was farming at home this morning, so he is still wearing dusty robes and mud.

There were also mud stains on his face. When he climbed the last step, his footsteps seemed unsteady and he almost flickered.

After Liu Bei got up, he smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the prime minister, my lord."

"Today I have been crouching in the field, because my legs and feet are strained, and I am no longer strong."

"I don't know if the prime minister summoned you today, what's the matter?"

Cao Cao looked around and smiled, patted the armrest on the right a few times, and made a gesture of invitation, "It's nothing, just let Uncle Liu Huang and I come to enjoy the scenery."

"I heard that brother Xuande is farming at home?!"

"That's right," Liu Bei walked with his arms folded, and went to the right side of Cao Cao and got on the couch. This time, he also learned to love himself, and no longer deliberately came to say hello to Xu Zhen.

Just take it as common old knowledge.

"It's more comfortable to eat vegetables grown by oneself."

Liu Bei smiled cheerfully. If he didn't know, he would have thought he was just an uncle who had no ambitions and was enjoying himself in the imperial city.

A hero who gathered hundreds of people around him to tens of thousands now.

A tough hero who has experienced hundreds of battles for several years, lost dozens of battles but never collapsed and escaped.

Now he is like a businessman, because his family is always complacent and happy, he never makes friends with dignitaries and celebrities, and even farms land.

"Hahaha, the majestic uncle, you actually farm the land. People in the world don't know how I treated you so slowly!"

Cao Cao pretended to be majestic.

"Where is it?" Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "The prime minister treats me like a brother, how can I not know."

"When the vegetables in the field are planted, the first crop will be harvested and sent to the prime minister to taste. The inner city of Xudu has excellent geology and good water quality. The vegetables grown must be sweet and delicious."

"Well, okay, I've got my heart."

Cao Cao withdrew his smiling face and slowly became serious. When he looked at Liu Bei again, he was quite solemn and said in a deep voice, "I have some bad news for you."

"Gongsun Zan is dead."

Liu Bei's expression froze immediately, then he blinked and looked at Cao Cao many times, but he didn't say a word.

My heart is still doubtful and trembling.

It took a long time before the trembling hands stabilized a little.

"My brother Bogui...has been kind to me for many years. In the early years, he was famous outside of Youzhou, and made the thieves of other races frightened. How majestic...I didn't expect it to end up like this."

"My heart is suddenly in pain! I am so worried, thank you Prime Minister for letting me know, I will be able to enjoy peace in Xu, but I didn't expect my brother to—"

Xu Zhen suddenly poked his head over and asked, "Then why did the emperor leave General Gongsun at that time? If the emperor was there, and with the prestige of the two generals Yun Chang and Yide, maybe he would have been saved?"

Dian Wei ate the mutton leg, nodded wholeheartedly, echoed in a voice like a bell: "Yes, yes, why did you leave?"

Liu Bei: "..."

you go, okay?

You two ride away!
　Thank you for your rewards, everyone, hurry up and send it immediately after coding, and don't dare to slack off in the slightest!Will continue to type!By the way, wait for Meidong!
