"If you are talented and pure, you are bound to be noble. If you are capable of being humble and dirty, you are bound to be humble." On the balance of encounters.
Although Xun Yu is gentle and tolerant by nature, he has never been a compassionate person who would suddenly become kind-hearted. When he heard what he said, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Wen Ruo is asking me to express his kindness to you.
Who? Or asking someone to be benevolent to whom?"
"This is not a favor, this is the duty of a minister." Xun Yu shook his head and said word by word.
If the imperial court was still as weak as it was in history, Cao Cao would naturally not rely on the imperial court to attack Tian Fen, but it is different now. As the envoy of the imperial court, Zhao Qi, the imperial servant, is currently in Henan, Yingchuan and other places to appease state officials.
.At this time, Tian Fen made a mistake, and Cao Cao could use this as a problem.
Cao Cao planned to let the court deal with Tian Fen when the King of Jibei would freeze and starve. Although Xun Yu had the same purpose as Cao Cao, his approach seemed more humane. He planned to let Cao Cao deal with Tian Fen when Tian Fen refused to rescue the King of Jibei.
, Cao Cao ordered the state that obeyed his orders to deal with food and grass for the King of Jibei.
You must know that among the four masters in Yanzhou today, Mao Jie, Man Chong, and Lu Qian were all conquered by Cao Cao when he was the shepherd of Yanzhou. Even though the owner of Yanzhou is Tian Fen now, there is still a relationship between them and Cao Cao.
The righteousness between the monarch and his ministers, not to mention Cao Cao's talent is countless times better than Tian Fen, they naturally know who to treat openly and secretly.
So with the help of these people, it will be obvious who did the right thing and who did the wrong thing in the end. This will not only achieve Cao Cao's purpose of suppressing Tian Fen, but also protect the Liu family.
The face of the clan.
In Xun Yu's view, although Cao Cao had great political talents and was determined to revive the Han Dynasty, he could easily do whatever it took to achieve this goal, and would even go to the wrong path and go to extremes, and finally lose himself. Therefore, every time Xun Yu visited Cao Cao
When going to extremes, he will try his best to find out and fill in the gaps, so that he can achieve his goal without losing his duty as a Han official.
Cao Cao also took good care of this. After more than a year of working together, the two got to know each other well, and thus formed such a relationship.
"The duty of a minister." Cao Cao suddenly sneered and said: "There are not many pastors in various places who really abide by the duty of a minister. I am one, and in addition, Liu Youzhou is also one. As a clan member,
Even though they are both famous and real, they still refuse to be disobedient, which is really admirable. As for the Yuan brothers, hey, don’t mention them.”
Cheng Yu said dryly at this time: "Zhao Gong moved the emperor to the mausoleum in Luoyang, and invited all the prescription uncles to show their loyalty. In the end, no one went. Yuan Shu even wanted to make Zhao Gong debase himself and go to Nanyang to look for him.
He is really ridiculous."
He said it was ridiculous, but in fact Cheng Yu had no expression on his face. His tone was always so strange, and his seemingly simple words seemed to have evil intentions.
Xi Zhicai frowned. He had always been a little unaccustomed to the way Cheng Yu spoke. At this time, he did not look at the other party's expression. He turned his head and said to Cao Cao: "If it weren't for the fact that Ming Gong was busy conquering the moth thieves, he wouldn't be able to escape."
Otherwise, we will have to go to Luoyang anyway."
"Yes." Cao Cao laughed and said with regret: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity has passed! However, I have sent Wang Bi to Luoyang to explain the reasons and try my best to be sincere. Compared with others, it is not considered a neglect.
Angel."
Cao Cao regretted that he could not show his face in front of Zhao Qi, otherwise, as the first prince to make a pilgrimage to the Angel, he would definitely receive a generous reward.
Xun Yu also showed a slightly regretful look on the side. Unlike Cao Cao's selfishness, he was truly regretful that he could not make a pilgrimage to the angel.
"It's over here. If Duke Zhao is not in a hurry to return to Chang'an, I should be able to rush to Luoyang before the end of the year." Cao Cao keenly noticed Xun Yu's expression and immediately comforted him: "At that time, Wen Ruo might as well go with me.
, we will make a pilgrimage to the angels together to show our loyalty."
Xun Yu quickly put away his emotions. He did not regard this as Cao Cao's kindness to him. Instead, he took it as a matter of course: "I sincerely promise you."
When Cao Cao saw this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. He had gradually realized that the ovary in front of him, who belonged to him, had begun to change his mood after hearing about what had happened in the Guanzhong court in the past few months.
Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo is rebellious and disobeys the law. It is only a matter of time that he will die sooner or later. However, even Cao Cao initially guessed that Dong Zhuo would be killed by foreign ministers or generals who supported the army. Although it later proved that it was indeed the whole process.
It was due to the plans of Situ Wang Yun and others.
But none of them thought that the emperor would actually play a huge role later. Not only did he justifiably depose Wang Yun, who had made the first contribution, but he also perfectly handled the rebellion of Li Jue and others, regaining the monarchy that had long been neglected, and showed great achievements.
He showed the image of a master of ZTE.
The emperor was bright and wise, and the Han Dynasty was about to prosper. This was certainly Cao Cao's wish, but it only caused Xun Yu to gradually change from assisting Cao Cao to support the Han Dynasty at the beginning to actively moving closer to the imperial court. This physical and mental change, however,
This is what Cao Cao did not want to see.
After cheering up for a moment, Cao Cao asked another question and asked Xun Yu: "How are the arrangements for the Yellow Turbans to surrender?"
"More than a million Yellow Turbans have surrendered, and they have been divided into Dongping, Jibei, Dongjun and other places according to Ming Gong's instructions. They have imitated the farming method implemented by the imperial court in Guanzhong and organized them into villages." Xun Yu picked up a book from his desk.
A copy of the slip was carefully handed to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao picked up the slip and flipped through it, and said in an unintentional manner: "Zao Zhi was very excited after hearing about the imperial government's farmland policy. He often told me that this was a good strategy to control chaos, and suggested to me several times to implement it. So.
I plan to follow the imperial court's regulations on farming and declare him to be the captain of Diannong, who is responsible for farming. By the way, there is also Ren Jun. If Ren Boda hadn't been guarding the rear and dealing with Tian Fen's quarrels, our army might not have been able to have sufficient supplies of food and grass."
He finished speaking in one breath, rolled up the slip, held it gently in his hand, and looked at Xun Yu, as if asking for his opinion: "It's better to leave the farming matter to him and Zao Zhi.
In this way, our army will not be controlled by others in the future, what does Wen Ruo think?"
Cheng Yu stood aside silently, looked at Cao Cao, then at Xun Yu, and thought in his heart:
During this period, Xun Yu was busy dealing with the matter of resettling and surrendering the people. Now that he was finally finished, Cao Cao handed over the follow-up work to others with just one sentence. Although Cao Cao said it was to ensure that his own food and grass could be self-sufficient, to prevent
Tian Fen used this to choke him again, but invisibly weakened part of Xun Yu's power.
Of course, these are all groundless speculations. As for what Cao Cao was thinking, only Cao Cao himself knows.
After Cheng Yu thought about it, he couldn't help but interjected: "If Wen Ruo is suitable for having a high-level view and having a thorough understanding of the overall situation, it is really a dereliction of his talent to do such trivial matters personally. By doing this, everyone is doing their best and fulfilling their duties."
"That's very true!" Cao Cao smiled and agreed with the protective meaning in Cheng Yu's words: "If Wen Ruo is a talented person, if he does such trivial things, wouldn't everyone in the world laugh at me, Cao Mengde, who has no knowledge of others?
bright?"
Xun Yu smiled. He was always so calm and unhurried. He was always polite and gentle to everyone: "It just so happens that Xun Yu doesn't want to be entangled in trivial matters and tire his body, so I would like to thank Ming Gong."
"Ming Gong." At this time, Chen Gong, the general of the Ministry, walked in from outside, holding a piece of silk in his hand, and said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Jizhou sent someone to send a message, hoping that we can lead the troops north quickly to cooperate with Zang Shijun's attack.
Liu Bei, Shan Jing."
Xi Zhicai, who had been unable to talk about the government's calculations and civil affairs, finally had a chance to speak. He raised his head and asked, "Didn't Yuan Jizhou and Gongsun Zan make peace with the angel's mediation? Why did they start to stir up trouble again?"
Soldiers?"
Chen Gong frowned and seemed to know the seriousness of the matter: "The angel Pei Mao went to Youzhou not only to make peace with the two, but also brought an edict from the court to consecrate Liu Youzhou as the governor of Bingzhou, and Gongsun Zan took over as the shepherd of Youzhou.
!”
"What?" Cao Cao couldn't help but asked in surprise: "The angel is still secretly carrying a secret edict?"
"Yes! Not to mention how the situation in Hebei will change after Gongsun Zan takes over Youzhou, let's say that Liu Gong went south with the envoys. As soon as he arrived in Jizhou, he encountered a bandit army." Chen Gong said in one breath: "Although neither Liu Gong nor the envoys
However, this time the bandit assassination shocked Hebei, and Gongsun Zan falsely accused Yuan Jizhou of instigating the bandit, so Liu Bei was sent to Gaotang and Dan passed through the plains to force Yuan Jizhou." 11
