You, Cao Mengde, took advantage of my unpreparedness to recruit talents from Jingzhou. Such behavior is so bad and unforgivable.
Yes, Chen Yuan has already regarded He Xia as a talent from Jingzhou.
As long as they come to Jingzhou and Chen Yuan likes them, Chen Yuan has no intention of letting them go. Every one of them has to stay in Jingzhou for me, Military Advisor Chen.
So, just when Cao Cao was silently enjoying the joy of recruiting a talent, he suddenly received a hard tap on his shoulder.
Cao Cao immediately wanted to get angry, but when he turned around, he saw Chen Yuan with a sullen face.
Seeing Chen Yuan, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel guilty, and his anger suddenly disappeared.
I saw Cao Cao laughing: "Zi Chu, congratulations on finding a great talent. Jingzhou also has a good bute."
Chen Yuanpi said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Then I also want to congratulate Meng De for getting a great talent."
Cao Cao was so embarrassed by Chen Yuan's laughter, but he was Boss Cao after all, and his shamelessness and adaptability were second to none.
Speaking of this adaptability, Cao Cao demonstrated it most vividly when he assassinated Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was in chaos and all the officials were crying. Only Cao Cao was willing to sacrifice his life to assassinate Dong. Cao Cao, wearing the seven-star sword he took from Wang Yun, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked, "Where is the Prime Minister?"
Someone said: "In the small pavilion."
Enter.
Seeing Dong Zhuo sitting on the bed, Lu Bu stood beside him.
Zhuo asked: "How late is it for Meng De to come?"
Cao Cao said: "Ma Lei walks late."
Zhuo Gu said to Bu: "I have a good horse from Xiliang. I would like to go and pick one and give it to Meng De."
The leader came out with the order.
Cao Cao thought to himself: "The thieves will die together!"
He wanted to draw his sword and stab him, but he was afraid of Zhuo's powerful force and did not dare to move lightly.
Zhuo was fat and couldn't bear to sit for a long time, so he fell down and turned to face inward.
Cao Cao thought again and said: "This thief should be put to rest!" He hurriedly held the sword in his hand, just in time to stab him. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo looked up in the mirror and saw Cao Cao drawing the sword behind his back. He turned around and asked: "What is Mengde doing?"
?”
At that time, Lu Bu had already led his horse outside the pavilion.
Cao Cao was panic-stricken, so he knelt down with a sword and said, "Cao has a precious sword, and I would like to express my kindness to you."
Zhuo Jie looked at it and saw that the sword was more than a foot long, inlaid with seven treasures, extremely sharp, and a precious sword. He then handed it to Lu Bu and kept it.
Cao unsheathed the horse and put on the cloth. Zhuo led Cao out of the pavilion to look at the horse. Cao thanked him and said, "I'd like to lend him a try and ride it." Zhuo asked Cao to teach him about the saddle and bridle.
Cao led the horse out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, whipped up his whip and looked toward the southeast.
Look, Boss Cao's adaptability, if he were called an ordinary person, an upright man might cry out to be a traitor for the country and kill Dong Zhuo, and then be stabbed to death by Lu Bu.
If you are a weak-minded person, you might just kneel down and beg for mercy.
Cao Cao directly said that he was offering his sword and left peacefully.
Although Cao Cao felt guilty in his heart, he did not show it and kept a smile on his face: "Yang Shi is indeed a great talent. Cao Cao feels inferior. It is Cao Cao's great fortune to have Yang Shi help him now."
Facing Chen Yuan's unkind approach, Cao Cao directly praised He Xia with a backhand, which not only defused Chen Yuan's offensive, but also further enhanced He Xia's goodwill. He was indeed the Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Mengde.
Facing Cao Cao's shamelessness and adaptability, Chen Yuan felt helpless.
After all, Cao Cao has the ability himself and never forgets to recruit talents anytime and anywhere.
Although Chen Yuan already regarded He Xia as a person from Jingzhou, after all, He Xia himself had not expressed his opinion yet.
Now that talents are willing to surrender to Cao Cao, there is no point in pressing him step by step.
Not only will you lose your grace, but it will also make others feel that Jingzhou has no room for people.
However, Chen Yuan still has to work hard. Talents like He Xia will also leave a name in history, but no one who can leave a name in history is simple.
Chen Yuan bowed to He Qia and said, "Sir, could you please consider Jingzhou?"
He Xia is still very grateful to Chen Yuan for thinking highly of him. However, now that the matter has come to this point, He Xia will definitely not be able to invest in Jingzhou again.
Otherwise, Heqia's own reputation will be completely ruined.
You just surrendered to Cao Cao and then turned around and betrayed him. Who would dare to use such a person?
He Qia said to Chen Yuando: "Thank you very much for Biejia's consideration. However, Qia has decided to follow the lord. He will only live up to Biejia's good intentions. Please forgive me."
Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Chen Yuan thought to himself that this was the only thing he could do.
However, Chen Yuan definitely can't just suffer a loss like this, he must get some benefits.
Chen Yuan noticed that He Qia's clothes were a little shabby, and it looked like his family was not well off.
Yes.
Since you, Boss Cao, have lured the talent away, what if I, Chen Yuan, don't add some trouble to you and promote Jingzhou at the same time?
Therefore, Chen Yuan directly called Zhou Tai and asked him to get one hundred gold.
Chen Yuan said to He Qian: "In that case, Yuan wishes Mr. Yuan a great career and a great career."
He Xia gratefully said to Chen Yuando: "Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very grateful to Xia."
Chen Yuan continued: "It is our misfortune to miss Mr. Jingzhou. However, Yuan does not dare to ruin Mr.'s good reputation. The country of Jinan is full of waste and its strength is complex. There will definitely be difficulties and obstacles for Mr. Yuan when he goes to Jinan."
The amount is very small, and I can only help you with a hundred gold, but I hope it can save you from some worries, and I also ask you not to refuse."
Yes, Chen Yuan is going to follow the example of buying a horse bone with a thousand gold, and give a hundred gold to help the Yangshi.
Chen Yuan actually had no good intentions.
Of course, there was respect and integrity in this person, but more importantly, it was to promote Jingzhou's reputation for valuing talents, and by the way, it was said that Cao Cao was a poor man.
Of course, Cao Cao was definitely not a poor man.
The Cao family and the Xiahou family were very rich. For example, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was extremely rich.
In November of the fourth year of Zhongping, Taiwei Cui Lie was dismissed. Cao Song, the chief minister, bribed the officials and donated 100 million to Xiyuan.
Therefore, he is a Taiwei and ranks among the three Dukes.
This alone shows how rich Cao Song is. Although the money does not belong to Cao Cao, Cao Cao can certainly borrow some of it.
In addition, Cao Cao is the recognized leader of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. He can borrow the strength of the two families and will definitely be rich.
In history, Cao Cao recruited troops many times, and part of the money came from the two families, as well as the support of the Wei family, etc.
In short, Cao Cao must be rich.
But this does not prevent Chen Yuan from harming him.
As for Cao Cao, it would definitely be difficult to object.
If he objects, Hexia must refuse in order to maintain his dignity.
However, this would not only make He Qian, who had just surrendered, feel a little unhappy, but also think that Cao Cao was narrow-minded.
It would also make others feel that Cao Cao was treating his subordinates harshly.
In short, Cao Cao not only couldn't refuse, but also had to say thank you, so as to maintain his own face.
Chen Yuan's move can be described as cunning and cunning, oh, no, it should be because he has many tricks up his sleeve.
Therefore, when He Qia looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao burst out laughing: "Zi Chu really deserves to be known as a lover of talents, and he can help so generously. Then I will thank Zi Chu on behalf of Yang Shi."
Chen Yuanzhuang said with admiration: "Meng Dezhen has the demeanor of a prime minister."
After saying this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel even more congested.
To be honest, Cao Cao really doesn't want this bullshit prime ministerial demeanor.
Although he has recruited a good talent now, Jingzhou's reputation for loving talents will definitely spread through today's events. Who knows how many talents Jingzhou will get to help.
Cao Cao couldn't help but drool when he thought of this.
There are so many talents in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao was so envious of these talents under Liu Bei that he wished he could pack them up and take them away.
Like what drama Zhicai, Gu Yong, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and so on.
Especially Chen Yuan and Guan Yu.
Cao Cao coveted these two people very much.
If it could be exchanged for wealth, Cao Cao would rather use all his father's wealth in exchange for their loyalty.
It's a pity that Boss Cao doesn't have a krypton gold system, so he can only envy him in vain.
The matter of reconciliation can only go so far. If you continue to struggle with it, you will lose your grace.
Therefore, after Chen Yuan gave one hundred gold to Hexia, Chen Yuan looked at Xu Zijiang.
"Mr. Zijiang, how is today's situation?"
Chen Yuan has not forgotten the main purpose of coming today, which is to damage Xu Zijiang's reputation. He must not be allowed to be so arrogant in Xiangyang City.
Once the reputation of the Yuedan Commentary exceeds that of the Debate Conference and the Martial Arts Conference, then Jingzhou will have to make wedding clothes for others.
Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the review from happening on the first day of this month.
Xu Zijiang was silent when he heard this.
Today's three games seemed to be draws, but in fact they were defeated.
Because in the third game of the decisive game, although Man Chong admitted that he was right, he voted for Jingzhou. Doesn't this explain the problem?
It should be noted that it is absolutely impossible for Xu Zijiang to say that he lost. That is because the powerful forces behind Xu Zijiang will not allow Xu Zijiang to fail.
But it was impossible for Xu Zijiang to say that he had won, and he still wanted to lose face.
So Xu Zijiang could only remain silent.
Xu Zijiang didn't speak, but someone did.
A voice came from the stairs: "Today is just a draw, why are you so aggressive."
Everyone heard the words and looked towards where the sound came from.
As a figure turned around, it was Cai Hao.
Yes, Cai Mao didn't want to come over originally, he only watched the battle from a distance.
But now the situation is not good. Xu Zijiang is obviously unable to defeat Chen Yuan. How can Cai Mao still sit still?
If Xu Zijiang loses, once Jingzhou holds these two conferences and Xiangyang Academy successfully opens, the threat to the Cai family will be too great.
Not only were Cai Xi and Cai Mao not fools, they were also quite smart. They could naturally see the consequences of the successful opening of Xiangyang Academy.
Once the academy is successfully opened and the Prefecture Mufu is allowed to cultivate its own talents, the life of powerful families will definitely not be easy. As time goes by, there will really be no place for them in Jingzhou.
Therefore, the Cai family must try their best to sabotage the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.
In fact, Chen Yuan didn't mean to put the Cai family to death. He gave the Cai family a chance. As long as the Cai family was willing to respect the policies of the Prefectural Mufu, he could take the Cai family with him.
But the Cai family may be used to being kings and hegemons in Jingzhou, so why would they give up their own interests and join Liu Bei's car?
So the Cai family came into conflict with Liu Bei.
As soon as Cai Mao appeared, Xu Zijiang breathed a sigh of relief, and now he had nothing to worry about.
Xu Zijiang has the consciousness of a tool man.
Regardless of the three generations of the Xu family in Runan, when it comes to Xu Zijiang's generation, neither he nor his brother Xu Jing is the type to be an official. This is how the Yuedan Criticism was born, using the method of criticism to maintain the Xu family's reputation.
reputation.
In fact, the two of them did a pretty good job. If it hadn't been for the trouble between the two of them later, which caused the decline of Yuedan Ping, with the connections they made through this, as long as there is someone suitable for being an official in the future, it will be easy to revitalize the Xu family in Runan.
Don't be too simple.
Chen Yuan looked at Cai Mao, his eyes as calm as water, but they contained unknown murderous intent.
"What does Degui mean by this? How could Yuan force Mr. Zijiang? I'm just asking for Mr. Zijiang's understanding of people. Degui is judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. Mr. Zijiang
Do you think so?"
Cai Mao looked at Xu Zijiang to see what Xu Zijiang would say.
Xu Zi will continue to remain silent.
I can't afford to offend you. If you fight with me, don't take me with you. I'm just a tool.
Although Xu Zijiang didn't speak, Cai Mao still had help.
That is Cao Cao.
Cao Cao and Cai Mao had a very good relationship.
Not only are they old acquaintances, but they can also be said to be fellow disciples. They all visited the famous scholar Liang Hu.
This person was a calligrapher, which means both of them had learned calligraphy from Liang Hu.
Even if it weren't for him, Cao Cao still wanted to speak to Cai Mao at this time.
After all, Cao Cao had just been damaged by Chen Yuan.
Cao Cao said from the side: "Zichu, competition is an elegant matter and we can make progress together. Why should we take it so seriously? It would be a loss of elegance and magnanimity."
Cao Cao's words were a subtle hint that Chen Yuan could not be magnanimous, focused on winning or losing, was petty, and was suspected of forcing his seniors.
Cai Mao nodded to Cao Cao, expressing his gratitude for Cao Cao's assist.
Chen Yuan just laughed at this: "I said before that this is not a competition, but a discussion. Meng De seems to have forgotten."
Before Cao Cao could speak, Cai Mao spoke first.
"Chen Zichu, what is your identity? Mr. Zijiang is a talented person and is highly regarded by the world. He is willing to discuss with you, but he is just out of the intention of giving guidance to the younger generation. The result of this draw was also deliberate by Mr. Zijiang. He did not want you to
You have lost face. Who would have thought that not only would you be ungrateful for Mr. Zijiang's advice, but you would also be so aggressive. Do you want Mr. Zijiang to admit that you are equal to him, or do you want Mr. Zijiang to admit that you are ashamed of yourself? Is that so?
What a villain!"
Good guy, this Cai Mao is really a loser.
This guy must be Zhu Bajie's apprentice, he is extremely skilled at this rake.
As soon as he said this, Xu Zijiang's face turned red.
Xu Zijiang could hardly bear this level of shamelessness.
Fortunately, Xu Zijiang always maintained a silent attitude, and no one paid attention to him.
At this time, everyone's attention was on Cai Hao and Chen Yuan.
Although Cai Mao's words were a bit shameless, everyone on the fifth floor knew what was going on, but most of the people on the fifth floor were powerful people. They only needed to distort it a little to spread the news that Chen Yuan was arrogant, rude, and contemptuous.
The reputation of the seniors goes away.
It all depends on how Chen Yuan responds. If he doesn't respond well, Chen Yuan's reputation will be ruined in Linjiang Pavilion today.
