The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 237 Cao Cao's Move
A few months later, in the first year of Jian'an, the construction of Lumen Academy in Xuzhou and Yuzhou had been completed, and Lumen Academy in Xiapi had already started teaching. Many children from poor families in many places came to study after learning about it. Can't stop coming to sign up, it can be seen that Sima Hui and Cai Yong have great influence, and this is what Li Yuan is happy to see.

Nowadays, Lumen Academy is extremely hot. Not only Xuzhou and Yuzhou, but also students from other places came to study after hearing the news, so that many princes noticed it.

After Chen Liu Cao Cao learned of the incident, he immediately asked Guo Jia to send someone to inquire. After the inquiring spies returned, they immediately reported the grand occasion of Xiapi Lumen Academy to Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

In the meeting hall, Cao Cao walked back and forth, some wondering what Li Yuan's intention was, "Everyone, now Li Yuan is building Lumen Academy in Xuzhou and Yuzhou, what is his intention?"

Since Li Yuan snatched Emperor Xian away, Cao Cao and Li Yuan have completely turned against each other. Although they have not yet attacked each other, their relationship has changed from former allies to enemies. There is no permanent friendship between princes and princes, only eternal interests No matter how good the relationship between the two parties is, once interests are involved, they will become enemies.

"My lord, I'm afraid Li Yuanguang built Lumen Academy for one thing only," Xun You said as he came out.

"What's the matter? Please tell me, Gongda."

"Expanding talents. Although Li Yuan is our enemy, he is very smart. He has built academies to train poor children. These students will also work for Li Yuan after they are successful in their studies. With the continuous increase of talents, Li Yuan's strength will increase. become stronger and stronger."

"Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo, do you think so too?" Cao Cao asked.

"That's right, Feng Xiao and I also think the same way. Although Li Yuan's move is very costly and does not help him now, there will be countless talents who will work for him in a few years. His vision is unique and far-sighted. "Xun Yu admired Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

"Li Yuan is my formidable enemy. Now we are focusing on dealing with Yuan Shao. We can't take the time to deal with him. But we can't see him growing. We must obstruct him. If we also build an academy and recruit students from poor families from all over the world, we can use this strategy to fight against Li Yuan. Yuan, what do you think?" Cao Cao is also a person who attaches great importance to talents. Hearing that Li Yuan can recruit more talents by doing this, he also wants to follow Li Yuan's approach.

"My lord, I think this method is feasible." Xun You agreed.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think?" Seeing Guo Jia frowning, Cao Cao didn't know what he was thinking.

"My lord, I don't think it's feasible or feasible." Guo Jia's answer made everyone a little confused.

"Why it is feasible and not feasible, please explain to us." Cao Cao was equally confused and asked Guo Jia to continue talking.

"From my standpoint, I absolutely support my lord's doing this, but from my lord's standpoint, I don't agree." Guo Jia rubbed his chin, and explained to everyone while thinking, "As we all know, Li Yuan established Lumen Academy. There are definitely many people who go to study, but most of the people who go are from poor families. Generally, the children of noble families can study by themselves at home, so there is no need to go to Lumen Academy. However, although Li Yuan’s move helped the children of poor families, it also weakened the noble families interests, so it will definitely attract the hostility of the gentry in the world."

Guo Jia is very smart, and he can see Li Yuan's gains and losses in establishing Lumen Academy at a glance. Although he can cultivate talents for Li Yuan, he will also be hostile by the gentry. It can be said that there are gains and losses, depending on what Li Yuan attaches more importance to. party.

Guo Jia is also from a poor family, and he knows the difficulty of studying for poor children, so from his standpoint, he will support Cao Cao to build an academy, so that he can help more poor children, but from Cao Cao's standpoint, he can't let Cao Cao do this Do it, because you will be hostile by the gentry.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Xun You are all smart people. After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, they understood the truth. Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered: "It is impossible for Li Yuan's intelligence and wit of Xi Zhicai not to know that doing so will offend the gentry, but Li Yuan still does this, he is really brave."

"My lord, the reason why Li Yuan would rather offend the gentry than help the poor is that he wants to break the gentry's long-standing..." Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and didn't continue, because the Xun family is a well-known gentry, if he Besides, it would offend Xun Yu and Xun You.

Xun Yu had already seen what Guo Jia wanted to say, and said, "Feng Xiao just say it, but with our relationship, do you still have any scruples?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia have known each other for many years, and they have a very good relationship. Although one of them is a nobleman and the other is a poor family, it does not affect their appreciation for each other. Moreover, although Xun Yu is a nobleman, he is humble and does not value status too much Therefore, many people are willing to make friends with him, so he can continue to recommend talents to Cao Cao.

"Feng Xiao, the people here are all our own people, so there is no need to worry about it." Xun You also said the same.Xun You is actually Xun Yu's follower, that is, a nephew. Xun You and Xun You are uncles and nephews, but Xun You is six years older than Xun You.

"In addition to cultivating talents for himself, Li Yuan actually intends to break the long-standing rule of the gentry. We all know that the gentry has a huge influence, and many important official positions are monopolized by the gentry. Li Yuan probably wants to break this tradition. That's why they intentionally cultivate poor families to counter the gentry." Guo Jia guessed Li Yuan's intentions with just a clue, which is extremely powerful.

"Following Xiao's words, it makes sense. I heard that after Li Yuan established Lumen Academy, the Mi family was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan. Mi Fang even colluded with Dong Cheng to rebel and wanted to seize the military power, but unfortunately he failed."

Xun You had heard about this incident not long ago, and it was very shocking. After all, the Mi family had helped Li Yuan a lot and had won Li Yuan's trust. Yuan produces great diaphragms.

"If the Mi family really turned against Li Yuan, it would be really gratifying, hahahaha..." Seeing the opposition between the Mi family and Li Yuan made Cao Cao very happy, "But it also proves that Li Yuan's move is really a bad idea, although I cultivated talents for myself, but also offended the nobles, the Mi family is the best proof, it seems that I can't carry out this strategy."

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Guo Jia was a little disappointed. At the same time, he felt that although Cao Cao had great talent, he was still a little worse than Li Yuan in terms of courage and vision.

"Everyone, what method should we use to deal with Li Yuan? Should we send spies to Xiapi to spread rumors, so that Xuzhou gentry will completely rebel against Li Yuan?" Cao Cao tried his best to deal with Li Yuan.
