Lu Yan finally asked: "Gong Cao, will you compromise with the local families in Xuzhou because of their resistance and resistance?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he sneered and said: "The new policy is beneficial to the court and the people, and it can also effectively balance various classes.
Not only Yanzhou and Xuzhou,
As long as Cao captures a state, he will extend the New Deal to another state!"
Lu Yan thought to himself: "As expected of the handsome man I like, Boss Cao!" Then he handed over his hands and said nothing, and returned to his seat.
Cao Cao's determination moved everyone present.
Especially those from poor families such as Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, their expressions changed at least several times. As for Guo Jia, he was already asleep, so I left him alone.
The changes in the faces of the three counselors Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, who came from poor families, were the most obvious, but at the end, a feeling of excitement appeared on their faces.
Jia Xu even took the initiative and said: "The aristocratic gentry in Xuzhou will definitely have strong opposition after Cao Gong promotes the New Deal. At this time, Chen Gong can secretly move those aristocratic gentry who are dissatisfied with Cao Gong.
It’s my own Qingzhou.”
Xi Zhicai nodded and agreed very much with Jia Xu's words. He also added: "The most ideal thing is to arouse the conflict between the lord and the local aristocratic family.
The main lord has raised a butcher's knife against them, not only in Xuzhou, but also in the future, whenever the lord raises troops to attack any state or county, they will definitely fight to the death, and even if they cannot hold on, there will be cases where aristocratic families will defect collectively."
Cao Cao was able to successfully implement the New Deal reforms in Yanzhou because he had a list of a large number of wealthy nobles who wanted to rebel against him.
Later, with the combination of kindness and power, and the Arita family taking the lead, the New Deal was promoted smoothly and quickly.
If it were to be promoted in other states and counties, the local gentry would certainly not compromise so easily.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked: "Since we can't kill him, what should we do?"
At this time, Lu Yan suddenly spoke: "Give a condition that seems unacceptable to them." Before Cao Cao could ask, Lu Yan continued: "Then, lower the requirements during the negotiation, so that they will feel more accepting.
.”
"How to deal with those die-hards?" Cheng Yu asked.
Lu Yan chuckled and said, "Isn't it these die-hards that Chen Gong wants?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly in secret.
At this time, Cao Cao finally made up his mind: "Lu Qiaoqi's plan is feasible, let's do this first!"
Seeing that the deal was done, Xun Yu no longer bothered with the family's problems. Secondly, he reminded Cao Cao: "But the premise is that we must defeat the Xuzhou defenders as soon as possible, and we cannot give the local forces in Xuzhou too much room for maneuver. Moreover, we have to
Beware of the little secret moves over there in Qingzhou."
Fanning the flames and creating rumors... Anyway, Chen Gong will definitely try his best to intensify the conflict between Cao Cao and the local forces in Xuzhou. Maybe there are already many shills in Xuzhou to exaggerate Cao Cao's history of suppressing the wealthy gentry.
"Wen Ruo reminds you that you and Gongda are from famous families. After we take Xuzhou, we will have to trouble you two to deal with it a lot."
Xun You stood up after hearing the words, and he and Xun Yu raised their hands and said, "Here!"
At this time, Cheng Yu, who was the first to receive the news, spoke: "Chen Gong wants us to send back Lu Bu's family. We can send a large army to attack Xuzhou, and at the same time, we can escort Lu Bu's family back to Qingzhou."
"What do you think, sir?" Cao Cao looked at Lu Yan and asked.
"Yan Zi is incompetent."
"So, very good!"
...
Guangling County is affiliated to Xuzhou and is located at a strategic location. It was an important place where Wei and Wu fought in history.
Liu Bei temporarily came to Guangling City for repairs, but he knew that Cao Bao would never let him stay in Xuzhou.
So, while Liu Bei was recruiting troops in Guangling, he was looking for help everywhere. However, Liu Bei's requests for help from people around him all came to nothing, and there was no news from him.
Zhang Fei felt guilty and had become very diligent recently, training new recruits every day. He only wanted to help his eldest brother regain Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Liu Bei and others had already guessed that they were being plotted by Qingzhou, but they didn't realize that Chen Gong had become a second-rate dealer again and sold Xuzhou to Cao Cao...
Liu Bei, his two younger brothers, and the few civil and military officials were naturally not willing to give up the hard-earned foundation.
But no one around him was willing to help. With Yuan Shu's army ahead and Cao Bao chasing after him, how could Xuzhou be recaptured?
After several secret discussions,
Liu Bei decided to explain his situation to the court, and then asked the emperor to send troops to Xuzhou to attack Cao Bao.
However, Liu Bei and others were unsure whether they would be able to take control of Xuzhou again by then.
But now besides asking Cao Cao for help, Liu Bei had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse.
...
In Chenliu County, in the house next to the Hussar General's residence, Lu Bu's family members were packing up with the help of the manpower brought by Cheng Lian.
After today's daytime meeting, Lu Yan already knew why the eldest lady was a little uninterested.
After all, this is a place where I have lived for many years, and I have been with everyone for so long. To leave suddenly, I will be somewhat reluctant to leave.
But Lu Yan couldn't stop Lu Lingqi from going back, and he had no reason to stop Lu Lingqi from going home.
Lu Lingqi was wiping her small Fangtian painted halberd in her room, but it was obvious that her mind was not on this, and her mood seemed a little low.
Mrs. Yan stood behind Lu Lingqi for a while.
As a biological mother, how could she not understand her daughter's thoughts?
"You've been wiping the same spot for a while..." Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded her.
Lu Lingqi was awakened by Yan's words, raised her head, and said feebly: "Mother...why are you here?"
Ever since Cheng Lian brought the news that Lu Bu was going to pick them up, Lu Lingqi's mood was a bit out of place.
Seeing how long it would take for Yan to leave Chenliu and go to Qingzhou, Yan finally decided to make it clear to Lu Lingqi first, "Lingqi, we haven't spoken to each other sincerely for a long time, and now we are about to leave the land of restraint and go back to Qingzhou."
Is there anything you want to say to your mother, Wen Hou?"
Lu Lingqi's eyes flashed with confusion, and she said: "I...I also want to go back to my father, but I don't know why I can't be happy."
"Are you reluctant to let go of the life here, or reluctant to give up the official position, or...are you reluctant to let go of certain people?" Yan asked cautiously.
Although Yan doesn't have Diao Chan's awe-inspiring righteousness and charming charm, she still has the delicacy and thoughtfulness of a mother.
"What are you reluctant to give up?" Lu Lingqi began to think after hearing Yan's words, "Official position? What is that... In terms of life, I am really reluctant to give up. As for people..."
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi's mind suddenly flashed a figure, a very familiar figure, "Is that... Mr. Lu...?"
"He forced me to study, punished me to copy books, didn't teach me innate skills, and didn't let me go into battle to kill the enemy. Why can't I let him go?"
Lu Lingqi's heart was full of contradictions at this moment.
