Cao Thief

Chapter 490 Zongzi Beauty ([-])

What, ask for another recommendation ticket! !

————————————————————————————

Qi County, county office.

Cao Pi gritted his teeth, and at the same time had a look of helplessness on his face.

Speaking of which, Cao Pi has managed Qi County quite effectively in the past year.In the past, this small county with a population of less than [-] households now has more than [-] people, an increase of more than half.Under his rule, the taxation is quite generous, and the land known as Sanfu is excellent.It can also be said that it is a manifestation of ability to achieve such political achievements in such a remote land.

If there is no recovery of Hexi, Qi County's political achievements are enough to make Cao Pi proud and prove his strength.

But it is this Hexi that makes what Cao Pi has done in the past year seem bleak, which is not surprising.

He stood on the porch, holding on to the railing, and remained silent for a long time.

Sima Yi also had a bitter face, standing quietly behind Cao Pi.

After a long time, Sima Yi said softly, "My lord, can you make up your mind?"

Cao Pi turned his head and said: "Zhongda, I am unwilling, unwilling...Give me some more time, and I will definitely be able to make Qi County the number one of the three assistants. Now I will give up like this. All the previous efforts have been in vain. I have a feeling in my heart. How can you be willing?"

Sima Yi said: "I am not reconciled either.

However, even if the son continues to stay here and manage Qi County as the number one of the three assistants, it is still not as outstanding as Hexi's political achievements.The rise of Hexi Pingdi is tantamount to re-establishment.In this situation, Cao Peng's achievements will be infinitely magnified.No matter what the son does, he must appear insignificant under Cao Peng's shadow.

What the son of the world seeks is the future, so why worry about gains and losses at this moment?
The lord is about to launch an attack on Yecheng, and this is a great opportunity for the prince to show his bravery and ability to the world.Besides, the prince can rely on the Battle of Hebei to gain ties with the army, so how can a small Qi County be compared? "

After Cao Pi listened, he was silent.

As the New Year's Day approached, Cao Pi was ordered to return to Xudu.

At this time, he was faced with an inevitable choice: stay in Qixian County, govern Qixian County into the first place in the Sanfu, and then return to Xudu with outstanding achievements; or leave Qixian County to participate in the Hebei Yecheng Tournament. war.

Cao Pi himself hesitated, so he had to bring Sima Yi to discuss.

After thinking for a long time, Sima Yi suggested that Cao Pi leave Qi County.The reason is simple, Qi County is too close to Hexi, and Cao Peng and Cao Pi, one is Cao Cao's nephew and the other is Cao Cao's son, it is easy to compare them together.

In terms of foundation, Hexi is weak and cannot be compared with Qi County.

However, Cao Peng regained the entire Hexi, as if starting from scratch, and will inevitably usher in a rapid and huge development in the future.A poor foundation has the advantage of a poor foundation, that is, every bit of progress will be infinitely magnified and displayed in front of the world.In contrast, even if Cao Pi made Qi County the number one of the three assistants, people would say: He has a good background, so it is not surprising that he has these achievements.If it was replaced by Cao Peng, what would happen to Qi County?

The second reason Sima Yi suggested to Cao Pi to give up Qi County was the strength in the army.

Cao Pi came to Qi County to practice.

During his one year in Qi County, he has already proved his ability.

Therefore, what he has to do now is to close the relationship with the army, maintain close contacts with the army, and establish enough meritorious service.

Cao Peng is in Hexi, and he has a lot of opportunities to build military exploits.

But Cao Pi is in Qi County, but it is difficult to get such an opportunity...

Couldn't it be that after Cao Peng occupied Hexi, Qi County became inland, and it was difficult for war to happen.Even if there were, they were just some horse thieves and rogues, and they didn't show Cao Pi's ability at all.On the contrary, it was Cao Peng who could fight the Huns and the Qiang Hu, and the conflicts continued.It is easy to obtain military merits, and to gain the appreciation and closeness of the senior members of the army...

The meaning of staying in Qi County is not great anymore.

In this case, it is better to go to Hebei and participate in the battle of Yecheng...

Cao Cao dotes on Cao Chong, and Cao Peng is Cao Chong's enlightenment mentor, and he may support Cao Chong as his successor in the future.

The higher the prestige of Cao Peng, the greater the capital that Cao Chong inherited.

On the contrary, Cao Pi, if he does not have enough reputation, will be gradually approached by Cao Chong, and even one day he will be surpassed by Cao Chong, pulling him further and further away.It is necessary to leave Qi County and return to the Central Plains. Only in this way can Cao Pi's prestige be established.

Sima Yi's attitude was very clear, which made Cao Pi gradually moved.

"Forget it, then when I return to Xudu this time, I will ask my father to participate in the battle of Yecheng next year."

As Cao Pi spoke, he lightly tapped the railing with his hand.

Even though he had already made a decision, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: no matter what, he was forced to return to the Central Plains by Cao Peng...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
After a heavy snowfall, the red water was frozen.

Cao Peng didn't know that what he did in Hexi had a huge impact on many people.After stepping on the snow and looking for plums with Bu Luan and Guo Huan that day, and relaxing my mind, the tension that had accumulated in my heart for the past six months was greatly relieved.The next day, with a happy mood, he once again devoted himself to the vigorous construction of Hexi County.

Although the construction of the city is temporarily on hold, there are still many things to do.

For example, after the recovery of the land, all kinds of materials needed to open up wasteland and farmland, as well as various preparations needed in the early stage of farmland, must start to be arranged.Cao Peng must estimate various possible emergencies in advance, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.Fortunately, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, the walkers beside him, are the kind of resourceful people with careful thinking and can solve many problems for him.As for things in the general direction, Li Ru was secretly planning for Cao Peng.

Li Ru rarely shows his face in public.

During this period, I occasionally contacted Pang Tong and others a few times, but no one guessed his real identity...

However, Jia Xing came quite frequently.

"Judging from your accent, you seem to be from Liangzhou?"

"Yes."

"Haha, me too."

"Really, that's such a coincidence."

"Mr.'s accent seems to be on the western side..."

"I lived in Longxi in my early years."

"Listening to the gentleman's talk, he has the style of a high scholar, and it should be known to the world. Why has the boy never heard of the gentleman's name?"

"It's not enough to be a villager in the mountains."

"..."

After several contacts, Li Ru called Cao Peng.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Then Jia Xing is indeed Jia Wen and the fake son. This son's words are set in ambush, making it impossible to guard against. My son, I am worried that this son's visit to Hexi this time is at the order of Jia Xu. I want to come Jia Xu has already started to suspect, the young master made preparations early on. This kid is easy to deal with, but if Jia Xu comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it."

The implication is to tell Cao Peng: Lao Tzu's identity may be exposed at any time.

Cao Peng rubbed his cheeks, he also felt very helpless about this situation.Let Li Ru go like this?He is not willing.

Pang Tong and the others do have high intelligence, but their experience is not enough.

At least for now, although Li Ru seldom gives suggestions, as long as he is by his side, Cao Peng can always feel at ease.His plans, his strategies, are often more thoughtful and far-sighted than Pang Tong and the others.

Now, Cao Peng still can't do without Li Ru, he needs Li Ru to be by his side, at least for now, to guide him.

"Sir, don't worry, Hexi is currently under my control, even if Jia Xu guessed it, there is nothing you can do about it, sir.

After Hexi is stabilized, I will plan a way out for my husband... Otherwise, after a while, I will send someone to pick up the young master from Haixi to reunite Mr. and his son.When the time is right, I will arrange for my husband to leave. "

Cao Peng and Li Ru have a ten-year contract.

It's only been four years now.

When Cao Peng said these words, he also expressed his attitude: he will not use this agreement to restrain Li Ru.

Li Ru was quite complicated in his heart. He looked at Cao Peng and was speechless for a long time.

If it is said that Li Ru had no choice but to seek refuge with Cao Peng at the beginning and was forced by Cao Peng, then now, he is quite comfortable with the feeling of being by Cao Peng's side, advising him and giving advice.What a pity, what a pity!
If I could have known him five years earlier, I would have assisted this son in making a fortune.

Now, Cao Mengde's general trend has been achieved, and the situation of unifying the north is unstoppable.And Sun Quan was in Jiangdong, sitting on the blessing of his father and brother. After four years of hard work and courage, he has stabilized the situation.As for Jingzhou, although the geographical location is important and the money and food are rich, it is a place where four wars were fought.It can be an arm, but not a foundation.

It is very difficult for Cao Peng to achieve great things...

Forget it, you Cao Youxue treat me with sincerity and obey me.

Then even if I have to leave in the future, I will keep you rich, and create a peaceful situation for you forever!

Li Ru secretly made up his mind, but verbally, he said lightly: "If that's the case, I'll ask you, my lord."

"Young master, a group of people came from outside the camp, and they said it was part of the son's work."

When Cao Peng and Li Ru were discussing things, they suddenly heard a report from Niu Gang outside the account.

Beside Cao Peng, there are four little attendants.Besides Wang Shuang and Cai Di, Cao Zhang and Niu Gang are also by his side...

Today, Wang Shuang took Cai Di and Cao Zhang to watch the drill in the army, so Niu Gang was on duty.

Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly confessed to Li Ru, and hurried out of the camp.

"Who is looking for me?"

"I'm not sure...it seems that the person at the head is named Su."

"Su... Su Shuang?"

Cao Peng immediately guessed the identity of the visitors, and quickly said: "Please come in quickly."

He went straight to Outuo, and after a while, he saw Niu Gang walking in with a few people.Cao Peng recognized at a glance that the old man in the lead was none other than Su Shuang.Before, he met Su Shuang in the camp of Tanzhe in Hongshagang, and accepted the attachment of Su's family.After that, Su Shuang left behind his eldest son, Su You, and returned to Zhongshan alone.

At that time, Su Shuang once told Cao Peng that he would definitely come at the end of the year.

It's just that due to various accidents before, Cao Peng almost forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, this Su Shuang actually came.And now it is only a few days before the end of the year, and the promise is being fulfilled.

Seeing Cao Peng, Su Shuang quickly walked a few steps and bowed to Cao Peng.

"Grassman Su Shuang, with the Su family of 110 and seven, pays tribute to the young master."
