The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 243 On rewards for meritorious deeds, Xi Yu's amazing request

"However, such a report can be used as a standard. Every year in the future, the states and counties can refer to this form to report. In this way, the Lord can be familiar with the situation in the territory."

"As for rewards for meritorious deeds, my lord can reward them in order. As for me, one reward is enough."

"What reward do you want?"

Cao Cao squinted at Xi Yu with doubts in his eyes.

Xi Yu has reached his current position, what rewards do he want?
"I hope that my brother will be successful, and let me be the teacher of Mr. Cao Ang."

Before coming here, Cao Ang asked Xi Yu in this way. Now, Cao Ang has a very high reputation in Xuzhou, and he is quite a Confucianist.

Before Xi Yu came, Cao Ang had made such a request to him, such a big or small request didn't matter to Xi Yu.

But this may not be the case for others.

At this time, on one side of the hall, there was a small table with a copybook on which a person was recording tonight's event.

This person was wearing a black official uniform and a crown, with a simple and honest face, staring blankly at the letter in front of him.

This person is Sima Yi.

Sima Yi clearly heard what Xi Yu said, and the words echoed in his ears for a long time, and Sima Yi thought for a long time.

"Oh... the eldest son's teacher... this person is very smart..."

Sima Yi muttered to himself, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

It's really not bad that it's Xi Yu.

"This person must not be underestimated, must be hidden in the heart, and must not be an enemy of this person."

……

The quietness on one side was completely different from the noise in the classroom, and the other side laughed after hearing what Xi Yu said.

Counselor Xun Yu was the first to stand up and cheer, and said: "Master Xi, if you are the teacher of the eldest son, I don't need to teach these Confucian scholars."

"Hehe, this, haha..."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect Xi Yu to be so cunning. If he became Cao Ang's teacher, he would be the teacher of his son.

And Confucian students pay more attention to respecting teachers and emphasizing Taoism, so there is a teacher-student relationship.

In this way, Xi Yu will have the protection of two generations of monarchs. Even if Cao Cao goes first, Cao Ang will still be able to suppress the clan.

"Fongyi, did Ang'er ask for this reward, or do you want to be his master?"

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu and asked.

"My lord has indeed asked for it, but I have already made plans for this matter. It's just that I am busy with trivial matters, so I don't have time to discuss it with my brother."

"Okay, if you only have this request, it's really nothing. Of course I agree. Of course you can be Cao Ang's master. From today onwards, if I, Anger, make this request, it's really nothing. You can be his master, from now on, I will entrust Ang Er to you."

It was said that the rest of the people, such as Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, etc., were silent. They almost meant the same thing. If such a relationship came from Cao Cao's mouth, it was absolutely true and never changed.

Of course, no one in this world knows that Cao Cao is a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

"Oh, this..."

Seeing that this must be the case, the group of people sighed very much, and their hearts were very complicated. None of them dared to argue with Cao Cao, so they had to hold this matter in their hearts for the time being.

After the matter was negotiated, next, in this hall, meritorious deeds began to be rewarded. Time passed quickly. By the second half of the banquet, Xi Yu had no interest. After receiving the reward, Cao Cao took Xi Yu to the backyard...

However, compared with the past, today's banquet is just an advance notice. There will be an edict from the emperor tomorrow morning, so as to show the world that today's banquet is just an advance notice. It shows everyone's achievements in it, so there is actually no difference between knowing it early and knowing it late.

At this moment, in the inner hall, Cao Song leaned tremblingly on the threshold of the courtyard after eating, with his back leaning against the doorpost, with a melancholy expression, and he even raised his head to the sky and sighed.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, which startled Cao Song directly.

This person is 70 years old this year, looking at Xi Yu with confused eyes, "Feng Yi."

The corners of Cao Song's mouth parted slightly, and he looked at Xi Yu like a child, and said with a smile, "Come here, Feng Yi, and sit beside me."

"Ah Man is also there, hehe, A Man, you come and sit too."

Cao Cao and Xi Yu looked at each other. Compared with the noisy main hall, this place is quite quiet, and the quietness is very slow, which calms Xi Yu's restless heart a lot.

Xi Yu and Cao Cao sat next to Cao Song, one on the left and the other on the right.

"The world of big men is really in chaos now."

As soon as Xi Yu and Cao Cao sat down, Cao Song suddenly said this.

Xi Yu secretly said in his heart: This big man's room has been in chaos long ago, why did he say so just today.

"The big man has been overthrown, who has the ability to mend the sky?"

Cao Song asked again.

At this time, Xi Yu just realized that he was muttering to himself, and looked up at the sky, as if there was a crack in the sky, patching the sky?

Xi Yu secretly sighed: It's really a magnificent speech!
Today, among the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, the remaining people are already good.

These people are like huge rolling waves, but they are calm in the end. In the end, there are a few biggest waves left, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Xiliang Xichuan and others.

The world of the Han Dynasty has long been torn apart.

"But now, the people in Yanzhou can live, do business, and farm. Besides, the emperor is here, and Xuchang is very prosperous."

"Ah Man, what do you mean? Have you captured Jizhou?"

Cao Cao had no choice but to smile wryly, "Ah Weng, you have asked me this question more than three times. I already took the land of Jizhou at the end of last winter."

"No, you didn't win Jizhou."

Cao Song stared blankly into the distance, holding Xi Yu with one hand and Cao Cao with the other.

"It's really nothing to be able to seize the city and territory. Only by winning the hearts of the people can we be considered a true unity. You are a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can you say that occupying the city is winning? You won only Yuan Shao, but Fengyi won It's the mess."

Cao Cao was silent for a long time. This point was mentioned before. On this point, he is indeed not as good as Xu Zhen.

"You two, I am really a brother, brother and brother. Feng Yi saved my life, and he saved your life, but without A Man's help, we would not be able to get to know each other. This is fate."

Cao Song cheered up and let out a long sigh of relief, "In this troubled world, it seems that there is already a clear situation, but in my opinion, everything has just begun at this moment..."

Today's chaos in the world is mainly due to the wars and robbing of cities by the princes of the world, and the chaos of Cao Song is mainly a chaos within the family.

"Fengyi, Ah Man, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that scene."

"It's hard for me to see."

Compared with the expectation, Cao Song's expression was very depressed, and his expression was even more determined. After saying this, his expression was extremely lost.

Cao Cao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. For some reason, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and his eyes turned red, "Ah, don't say that, you still have time to see the peace and prosperity."

"No, I can't see..."

After Cao Song finished speaking, he immediately let go of Cao Cao and Xi Yu's hands. He was very lonely, and there was only one person, "Go, you two can take care of yourself for the time being. The world will definitely change in the future. It's really unpredictable."

"Well, let's go," Xi Yu waved his hand quickly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Cao Song's back is very lonely, sitting by the pond, with a crutch to accompany him, there is nothing else but this thing.

But in such a cold night, he seemed to like it more.

Cao Cao patted Xi Yu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Fengyi, Ah Weng has been like this for a long time, you don't have to worry about it, find a time, when Ang'er comes back to Xuchang, you two have to meet up."

"When Ang'er comes back, I will let him see you well."

"Okay." Xi Yu nodded.

That night, Xi Yu didn't return to the administration, but stayed in the prime minister's mansion to sleep.

Xi Yu's guest house was not too far from Cao Song's courtyard, but he could clearly see Cao Song's lonely and desolate back. At this moment, Cao Song had been by the pond for a long time.

Xi Yu spent a lot of time with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and he knew some medical skills. Seeing Cao Song's posture, he knew that the old man's time was numbered.

However, Cao Song should have died in the war seven or eight years ago, but now he is able to live a few more years, so I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

……

In the general's barracks, the emperor's guards guarding Xuchang are Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, which are heavy armored tiger cavalry and light armored leopard cavalry.

They need to obey Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun.

The generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are all in the camp at this time, besides that, there is Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen and Cao Pi grew up together. This man has a lot of strategies, but for the time being he has a calm personality, and he is loved by his uncle's generation.

"Everyone, I don't need to say more about today's matter. I said earlier that Xi Yu must not be in command of the army. Once he is in charge, the 30 soldiers and horses are all soldiers of tigers and wolves. Just the black and white cavalry is enough." Let me wait and don't know how to deal with it."

"What's more, there are [-] Qingzhou soldiers." Xiahou Dun sighed.

Xiahou Dun is the more seasoned person in this group of people, and he has outstanding military exploits, and his words are very powerful, so at this moment, calm down and think, this is indeed a huge hidden danger.

Today, continuing to send troops for China will be a huge hidden danger.

Cao Ren sat by the fire.

Now, he is the only one who can speak up, and he represents the interests of the Cao family clan.

Although Cao Ren has always been very loyal to Cao Cao, sometimes he had to consider the way out, "Feng Yi, this man has no wrongdoing. If we don't force him, I firmly believe that he will definitely not oppose the lord. Otherwise, what will happen?" How can there be such a saying that it is nothing more than three?"

Hearing this, Xia Houdun immediately laughed and said, "Zixiao's words are very reasonable, I agree very much, but after all, Xi Yu surrendered to the big man, not you, my lord, but now we have Yanzhou and Jizhou."

"Furthermore, Bingzhou and Youzhou are of course no problem. Of course, it's no problem, but even so, within five years, there will be no more than a million soldiers and horses at most. In this way, Xi Yu will only reach a million, and Xu Zhen is still big. Hidden danger."

"From now on, my lord, have you ever thought about it, won't my lord become king?"

The great Han is not the surname of Liu but the king, and the princes of the world can attack him together.

Such a statement is very cryptic. In fact, Xiahou Dun wanted to say, didn't Cao Cao want to seek a great cause?

What you said is true, now that those who instigate these generals to give up easily, it is absolutely impossible for you to return this world to the Liu family.

The generals present, everyone knew that this matter was absolutely impossible.

In this way, riding a horse will buy it.There is bound to be conflict.

"Zixiao, tell me quickly, Xi Yu?"

It was difficult for Cao Ren to speak out.

He also didn't know if Xi Yu would go against the truth. After all, the Han Dynasty still occupies a deep-rooted position in the hearts of the people all over the world.

"The conflict between me and Xi Yu will come sooner or later. At that time, his soldiers will be stronger than Yuan Shao! I am not afraid of Yuan Shao, but I am afraid of Xi Yu."

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said.

He was really scared. If it was eight years ago, he would naturally not be afraid of temptation. .

Even before he thought that Xi Yu was nothing more than a farmer, but when he saw him today, Jun Song saw the aura of a lord in him, like a king.

"Among the heavens and the earth, there are not many princes who can compare. He is not rebelling now, but for the sake of the lord. If one day the lord can't control him, what should he do?"

Xiahou Dun's question finally caused all the generals to fall into deep thought.

The problems of these years have caused many generals to fall into deep thought. They have been unwilling to think about Xi Yu these years. After all, they have been punished by Cao Cao, and they have already had a shadow in their hearts.

But now, the problem is in front of them. As it is now, if they don't fight or fight, they have thought about it carefully. If they don't fight or fight, in the end, once Cao Cao's power is gone, no one will dare to fight Xi Yu.

Xi Yu has now become a more important figure than the clan!

For example, Jizhou, if Xi Yu hadn't led the army, Jizhou might not have called for it until now.

Cao Ren wanted to say something more, but in the end he sighed, "In any case, he and I are still friends at this moment."

Xiahou Dun smiled and said: "In this world, there are only eternal interests, and there are no eternal friends. How many friends did Yuan Shao have in Jizhou? How many advisers and generals did he bring from Runan, and how is it now? It is nothing more than a defeat."

"Yuan Shao just lost the battle. The famous people in Qinghe County, including Jushou, immediately turned to Xiyu. Now he has the four counties of Qinghe, Pingyuan, Leling, and Bohai. In this way, Hejian is not far away. gone."

"This Hejian is one of the hinterlands of Jizhou. This place is rich in famous generals and there are many warriors. In the spring of the coming year, soldiers and horses can attack together. We must not give Xi Yu any chance. In this way, Hejian can be used as a barrier to quickly Recruit troops to guard against the east of Jizhou."

Cao Ren and Cao Chun immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Rang, you have already regarded Xi Yu as an enemy, is there such a thing?"

"It must be so!"

Xia Houdun suddenly interrupted several people, and asked loudly, "Besides, in the court, Xi Zhicai and military advisors are respected, Chen Qun is from the Yingchuan clan, and these two people are trusted by Meng De's side now." People, Mr. Xun Ling... can't!"

"Why not?!"

"Xun Lingjun, now you are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and you are a great Confucianist in the world, and your reputation is very prosperous. Don't let this happen. Your fame will eventually be brought into the soil."

"Yuan Rang, who taught you these words?"

Cao Ren suddenly asked.

Xiahou Dun's expression froze for a moment, and then he smiled happily, "I study military books and Confucian classics day and night, so I understand the principles and responsibilities, and the principles are so simple, why do I need to be taught?"

"So that's how it is," Cao Ren nodded, stretched out his hands, and rubbed them in front of the fire for a while, his eyes suddenly became hollow again, "In this way, congratulations to Yuan Rang, the current situation in the world, the situation in Xuchang City , of course you are the one who knows best, and you must be very familiar with it.”

……

At this moment, in the military camp, everyone's minds can't be unified, they all have their own opinions, and they even swear separately, but the current situation is chaotic, and it is difficult for anyone to stand up. Even Cao Cao is in confusion .

That night, I was very angry but couldn't stay up, and I was still thinking about the relationship with Xi Yu in my mind.

At the banquet, Xi Yu voluntarily handed over all the maps of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, North Huaiyang to the vicinity of Hefei, Jizhou to Qinghe County in front of everyone.

At the same time, the places where soldiers and horses were stationed and the places where food and grain stations were established are very detailed.

This kind of map was given to Cao Cao, as long as there were no major changes in various places in a short period of time, he could almost hold all his own handles in Cao Cao's hands.

Cao Cao held it tightly in his hands.

But even so, he still didn't dare to start a real battle with Xi Yu, because he was not fully sure of winning.

When attacking Yuan Shao, Cao Cao always believed that he would be able to win, but if it was against Xi Yu, because they knew each other very well, Cao Cao only felt terrible.

After all, Cao Cao has tried his best to understand Xi Yu, but he feels that what he knows about Xi Yu is far from enough, and it seems that he will never be able to keep up with Xi Yu's thinking.

It is a feeling of deep powerlessness.

And he has his own personality charm, so that Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others follow him wholeheartedly. If I, Cao Cao, become emperor, will Xi Yu still support me?

Cao Cao suddenly thought of such a thing.

But he couldn't get any answer, Cao Cao finally looked at his hands in puzzlement, and realized that he actually had the heart of proclaiming the emperor: as a Hanchen, this is a treasonous thought.

Proclaiming the emperor, hegemony, these are all rewards from the Shura field, and now he is about to turn fifty, if we talk about it again, it will only become more difficult in the future.

"Nowadays, the only option is to sit and watch the tiger."

Suddenly, Cao Cao closed his eyes, and his mind gradually calmed down.

How to subdue Meng Cao Cao, slowly pull out its threat, otherwise, it will be like what Feng Yi said back then.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

……

On the second day, after the award, Xi Yu was promoted to the rank of General, in charge of the soldiers and horses in the world, under the restraint of the prime minister, while Cao Cao was granted the title of Marquis of Wei Hanxun.

Xi Yu met Han Xiandi Liu Xie, so he and Su Wei went hunting in the wild.

The hunting ground is so big that there are even princes and nobles who come here, but no one dares to stop them when they see the general's banner, only one or two are riding horses in the distance, but they don't show any worry.
