Chapter 195 Discuss with me again? Then I'll start a conversation!(1/2)
Chapter 195: You want to discuss with me again? Then I’m just trying to tempt you!
"You really don't want to go?"
Cao Cao stared and said, he himself couldn't understand why this man suddenly got angry again.
"If you don't want to go, I highly recommend Gongda and Zhongde."
Xu Zhen was still very determined. He would definitely not go this time. He would not be able to manage the government safely for at least half a year after going there. His military achievements were getting higher and higher. Seeing what Boss Cao meant, he was actually a little hesitant.
From his humble beginnings, he has now been granted the title of Marquis and has a county with thousands of households, which is a rare achievement from ancient times to the present.
Xu Zhen was very open-minded. There was no need to show off at this time. Boss Cao himself would not know how to reward those achievements in the future.
The most important thing is that the blind battle is going smoothly, so just let them fight. It happens to take advantage of this time to go to Xudu's home to prepare a daily self-discipline plan, trigger other limited-time tasks, and see if I can get some beauty pills.
After all, he has made great achievements in battle and is basically tired, so it would be better to acquire something that is not available in the human world.
Xu Zhen felt that if he alone could not live long enough, he should let his wives join him, so that he could save more people who were displaced in troubled times.
In addition, Xu Zhen also needs more features to ensure his own safety.
Now we have just defeated Guandu. Jizhou has not yet been conquered. How can we talk about Youyou? It will take at least two or three years for such a large territory to be managed stably.
Take advantage of this time to stabilize the internal civil and military affairs, and do not let them cause trouble again like Yuan Shao did with his advisers.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, sighed, and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to go."
Cao Cao glanced at him with disgust, but before he had time to think about it, he was already planning to hear what Xu Zhen wanted to say.
"Then why not go?"
"Unity."
Xu Zhen said seriously.
Cao Cao: "..."
"My lord, just think about it, why did Yuan Shao lose? The troops used in the battle were not organized at all. Orders were changed day by day, and the strategies were often seen through, or were ineffective at all. Isn't it because of lack of unity?"
Xun You and Cheng Yu smiled bitterly. When they heard Xu Zhen mention the word unity, they were stunned for a moment, but when they heard Xu Zhen mention Yuan Shao, they felt that it made sense, but if it wasn't sophistry, then they didn't know.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xu Zhen was listening to the teachings carefully, so he continued: "Jizhou is divided into several sects. Among the celebrities under Yuan Shao's command, Xin Ping, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and other local celebrities in Jizhou belong to one sect, while Guo Tu
When the Yingchuan family becomes one sect, and Xu You and others become famous people in Runan, and they all compete for merit, what will be the result?"
He became more and more fluent when he said this, so much so that Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "How?"
"Why don't we defeat Guandu?"
"That makes sense."
Xun You nodded frequently.
Xu Zhen said with a smile: "We divided our efforts and looked for positions before we won the battle. They all wanted to get a high and powerful position after unifying the world in the future. As a result, we are defeated now and no one will get a good harvest."
"Tsk," several people looked at each other, a little shocked and then scared. Xu Zhen's words were not unreasonable. It was the competition between each other that made us what we are today.
Even Guo Jia endured being dragged down by Xu Zhen and said calmly: "Yes, the Lord's words indeed indicate that he has a deep understanding of Yuan Shao's advisers."
"In addition, Yuan Shao pays attention to the superficial appearance and does not pay attention to what his advisers really want. For example, the chief advisers of the three factions almost all have their own agenda. What Guo Tu wants is to make his family strong and prominent in the world; what Xu You wants is to rely on him sincerely.
The status is exclusive; while Jushou, Tian Feng and other high-ranking celebrities are just trying to repay the kindness of the Yuan family in these years, and at the same time repay the kindness of Yuan Shao for many years."
"Now that the fight has reached this level, it also shows that Yuan Shao himself is stupid and is not as generous and tolerant as the Lord, so that his advisers have the same desires and virtues and work together."
Xu Zhen interjected: "The main thing is that there are noble people like me who are willing to sacrifice themselves. I don't know what my lord thinks. Anyway, I think the more people like this, the more peaceful it will be."
Guo Jia: "..."
Why don't you just click my name?
At this time, the tent was quiet for a moment. After careful consideration, Guo Jia felt the gazes of the others. His face turned cold for a moment, and he said helplessly: "Tsk, my lord, I won't go. Now that the war has calmed down, I and I Bowen returned to Xudu to arrange the school affairs. There may be more investors in the future, so he can help Zixiu to recruit some young talents and appoint them to various places."
"Fine."
Since both of them have said so, he has nothing to be tough on. Every step he takes is merit. As long as he wants to achieve it, he can certainly achieve something.
When you return to Xudu in the future, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will definitely be granted the title of marquis, a general, and an important official in the internal affairs. These people will be continuously appointed and dispatched to strengthen the harvests in various places.
However, after making the decision, Cao Cao couldn't help but glare at Xu Zhen, but he felt a little inexplicably relaxed.
This Xu Bowen, I don’t know what to say about you, and it makes me worry too much. If it were an ambitious person, he would definitely recommend himself to the army, take the credit, and establish an unshakable reputation in the army. In the future, his status will be Truly relied upon.
If not...then I don't know. Cao Cao had a vague feeling that if Xu Zhen continued like this, his conduct would go without saying, and based on his talents and achievements, his status in the court would probably be very transcendent.
Of course, that is all a matter for the future.
"Okay, the first thing has been finalized, let's talk about the second thing."
Cao Cao looked around and said with a smile: "Yuan Shao's subordinates Xu You and Ju Shou are now in the camp. What do you think of these two people?"
Xu Zhen stood up immediately. He had wasted too much time just now, and now he planned to speed up the progress. Since he asked about these two people, let's end it with a stick of incense.
"Discussions are always based on throwing bricks to attract others, so let me throw some bricks to you."
Xu Zhen looked at everyone with a smile, and then said to Cao Cao with a serious face: "Jushou is a noble man and will definitely not surrender to the lord. No matter how good you are to him, he will definitely still miss Yuan Shao who is in Jizhou. Not only His own desire to repay his kindness and justice is inseparable from the century-old reputation of his family. If the lord wants him to sincerely join the Han Dynasty, he needs to wait for Yuan Shao's death and wait a few more years before he can gradually change his righteousness for the survival of the people. If you think about it, you may be able to conquer it.”
"As for Xu You, I can't comment. This is your lord's classmate and old friend. You must know his temperament. He is greedy for wealth and fame. He can be used but cannot be relied on. Otherwise, he will be favored and arrogant in the future. But the advantage of using him is - - He knows the distribution of Yuan Shao's army well and understands Yuan Shao's thoughts. With him around in the future, it will be more convenient to march and set up formations."
"Well, that makes sense!"
Cao Cao immediately narrowed his eyes and found it quite helpful. It seemed that Xu Zhen really knew these people very well.
A quick glance shows that he has gathered a lot of information and formed his own intelligence network. Based on the information obtained, he has already analyzed the characteristics of each person.
"Not bad, not bad, next -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Guo Jia standing up directly, with a sad look on his face, shaking his head with his hands behind his back, and bowed to Cao Cao: "My lord, it's almost time to go back."
After saying that, he turned to Xu Zhen and said with a helpless smile: "You are throwing bricks here. The lord has already thought about how to employ people. I second my opinion! Let's go."
"I would also like to second my opinion."
Xun You immediately bowed his hands and bowed.
When Cheng Yu saw that he was two steps too late, he immediately bowed in panic and said, "I second my proposal. I also second my proposal."
Xu Zhen: "..."
…
After coming out of the camp, Xu Zhen went straight to his camp and told the three armies to withdraw immediately, leaving Xu Chu and Zhao Yun to be dispatched by Cao Cao. The rest of the troops followed Xu Zhen and left. The casualties among Dian Wei's army were relatively heavy. Of course, he deserved the credit.
It was also the biggest, so I followed Xu Zhen back.
First go to Xudu for supplies.
On the march, Dian Wei and Xu Zhen were in a carriage.
Zhuge Liang was originally with Xu Zhen, but Dian Wei drove him to be with Jia Xu.
"Junhou, there is no benefit for us to go back now. The merits are gone, the pension cannot be paid, and the lord is not here, how can we ask for money?" Dian Wei was smiling, thinking about the reward at first glance, for fear that Xu Zhen would be short-lived.
Got his.
"Look at your potential," Xu Zhen rolled his eyes and purposely drove Kong Ming away. He thought he had something important to say about long-term achievements, but he didn't expect to ask about these things that had already been arranged. "I see,
Not only do you want to ask this, but you also want to ask if you can increase the number of households?"
"Hey," Dian Wei said seriously, scratching his head and saying, "I, the Zhongwu Marquis, sound like something is wrong..."
"I also want a Jiwuhou or something. After all, I am famous in Northern Xinjiang and have fought tooth and nail for many years. Why not for this? I am a rough man. I may have other desires, but I can't tell you!"
"The most real one is this feudal prince!"
"The title of a prince, a seat, and even your official position are all in demand when the lord is away. Just write a letter to him and ask for it, and he will basically agree. As for the money, food, and military equipment, go to Zixiu to ask for it."
As soon as Dian Wei heard this, the smile on his face became much more real. The smile he was holding back just now was indeed a bit fake.
"Hehe, haha! Okay, okay...that's enough."
That's all, that boy Zixiu is rich, and now he can keep his word. Even Xun Yu will obey his orders, and gradually he has the momentum of a good-looking general and the governor of Yangzhou.
"Are you feeling comfortable?" Xu Zhen looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. The two of them were like brothers sharing the inheritance of their uncle. They were not too close anyway, and they smiled happily when they looked at each other.
"Hey, hey, feel good."
Dian Wei nodded quickly, and his heart immediately hurt when he smiled. So many brothers were killed and injured in the war, so he laughed so hard.
Thinking of this, he quickly put away his smile, but after so many years of fighting, he has been used to seeing casualties, and now he has almost gotten used to it. The saying that kindness cannot lead an army also means that a general can achieve great success with ten thousand bones. Therefore, the dead and wounded soldiers will remember them for a few days.
You will be able to calm down within.
"Can we go then?"
Xu Zhen suddenly asked, "Can I get my Kong Ming back after I leave?"
"Oh, I can also chat with the Lord."
"What are we talking about with you, Lord Jiwu?" Xu Zhen called tentatively.
"Ouch, oh, oh... I don't dare to take it seriously, don't say it, don't say it, I don't dare to mention it..." Dian Wei kept a straight face and did not smile, thinking about sad things in his heart, and then lowered his head and stopped talking to Xu Zhen.
