Deng Ai did not show any weakness, and listed all the doubts he suspected and speculated on, mainly the autopsy performed this afternoon, which was also full of doubts.
Deng Ai said: "There are some non-fatal injuries on Zhou Xin's body, and it has indeed undergone simple treatment, but these are not important. What is important is why Zhou Xin is missing half of his tongue."
Zao Zhuan immediately put on his face and said sarcastically: "Why not? Isn't it allowed to commit suicide by biting your tongue?"
Deng Ai didn't care about Zao Zhuan's disrespectful attitude towards him, and said calmly: "But Wu Zuo said that Zhou Xin died of anger and heart attack." He knew that although Cao Zhi had not been in Liyang for a long time, Zao Zhuan and Zao Zhuan were still friends.
Cao Zhi has a very good personal relationship, and Zaozhuan people are relatively simple and easily deceived. It was purely impulsive to stand up for Cao Zhi at this time.
Facing Deng Ai's sudden answer, Zao Zhuan was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this time, seeing the two sides locked in a stalemate, Chen Wen spoke up, "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. After all, he is a person who deserves to die. He will die anyway. Forget it, whether it was Cao Duwei who was killed in revenge."
It doesn't matter whether Zhou Xin or that guy died out of anger. What's important is that Danyang hasn't really been obtained yet. Zhou Xin is dead, but his Weng family is a Danyang noble family. His father-in-law, that
The old governor of Danyang is still shocked, and there are more than a thousand defenders, what should you do?"
Being interrupted by Chen Wen, who suddenly brought the topic to a more practical issue, the atmosphere suddenly became dull, and everyone fell into deep thought. No one spoke for a long time, and their expressions were still gloomy. The study room appeared.
There was a brief silence.
As the governor of a state, Chen Wen only thought about how to lead Yangzhou well and implement his policies. He also knew in his heart that Zhou Xin died strangely, but he was surprised for a while, and after a while he returned to his mind.
On the right track.
Deng Ai was full of passion and relied on his talent and learning, so he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. Naturally, he couldn't stand it when he encountered Cao Zhi, who was so deviant, and had to keep an eye on Cao Zhi. In fact, Deng Ai initially had a crush on Cao Zhi.
The influence of Cao Zhi was quite good, and I had some admiration for him after seeing the way he performed the operation. But since Cao Zhi entered Yangzhou as an official and seized power in the barracks, I saw Chen Wen favoring Cao Zhi everywhere, and I started to
A little dissatisfied, but unknowingly, he had other thoughts. After Cao Zhi's army gained authority and monopolized power, Deng Ai proposed to Chen Wen that Feifei's proposal was rejected. Deng Ai clearly designated Cao Zhi as his political enemy.
Before Cao Zhi came, he was known as the number one counselor in Yangzhou and Chen Wen's number one favorite. He childishly believed that Cao Zhi had shaken his position.
This shows that although Deng Ai is smart, he is too young after all and is not calm enough in situations. He is used to being praised and sought after, so he becomes arrogant and cannot bear the slightest grievance. As long as he calmly puts himself in Chen Wen's shoes, he will understand why he did this.
Chen Wen wanted to make Yangzhou like an iron barrel with him as the center. In this era that emphasizes strength, it is inevitable to use troops. To use troops, military generals are needed. There are several types of generals, and those who know martial arts may not necessarily be the same.
Those who know how to fight do not necessarily have high martial arts skills. There are very few people like Cao Zhi who are good at martial arts and know how to fight. If they meet Chen Wen who is in the prime of employment, he will be able to fight for the reputation of a dead man or Deng Ai.
Do you want to give up on a general as brave and skilled as Cao Zhi? Besides, Cao Zhi has a wealthy background. Perhaps Deng Ai is very keen on some political issues, but Chen Wen can't care about so much now.
Zhou Cang was bored for a long time, looking left and right before finally speaking, "What you said makes sense. The Danyang matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it drags on for a long time, the neighboring counties may still take care of it. Tao Qian of Xuzhou has already been keeping an eye on it."
I’m stuck with the fat piece of Danyang.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Wen pondered and said, "Yes! Let's discuss how to proceed with this matter."
Everyone fell into silence again. Chen Wen glanced at the faces of several people one by one, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart! There are too few brave and strategic generals like Cao Zhi around him. When faced with such a matter of attacking a city,
Every one of them was deflated, and the lively scene just now disappeared.
It seems that my son-in-law is not interested in military affairs. He has only improved a bit recently, but now it is difficult for him to come up with suggestions for conquering cities and territories!
Looking at Deng Ai again, although he was very resourceful, he was only limited to politics. He had almost no knowledge of military matters.
Finally, there is Zhou Cang, who is very skilled in martial arts, but he is brave and has no plans, and cannot take on a big job. After all calculations, he still has to rely on Cao Zhi.
Just when Chen Wen didn't know how to break the awkward atmosphere, it was Zhou Cang who broke the silence.
"It would be better to ask Captain Cao to discuss this matter together."
In fact, Chen Wen thought the same thing, so he expressed his gratitude and said, "Then invite him to come to the state capital tomorrow to discuss matters."
Zhou Cang responded "Yes".
Zhou Cang has not participated in the debate between Zao Di and Deng Ai today, mainly because Cao Zhi concealed Zhou Xin's injury from him a few days ago. He still has scabies about Cao Zhi in his heart, so he has remained silent. If it hadn't come out then
When it comes to family matters, he must be leaning towards Cao Zhi.
Then Chen Wen became very happy and said: "The soldiers of Xiying have made such a great contribution this time. They should be rewarded. It is not easy for generals to use troops on the battlefield. With some rewards, morale will be high. One soldier can reach the goal."
Got two soldiers to use."
Zaozhuan was about to speak when he heard that he wanted a reward, but Deng Ai suddenly said "Ah!", patted his forehead, and said: "I want this reward, but if I win the first battle, if it is a big reward, I fear that the soldiers will be arrogant and make you.
It should be put aside and rewarded after Danyang is conquered."
When Zao Zhuan was about to argue, Chen Wen twitched his beard and muttered: "Well...isn't it okay to reward me now?"
Zhou Cang also followed suit, but he did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "Rewards will be given if you have merit, and punishment will be given if you go wrong. When to show kindness and when to be strict, the lord must be confident. If the lord is a general leading troops,
What do you hope?"
After hearing this, Chen Wen smiled and nodded, and said, "This is very pertinent." Then he added, "We can wait until we see Captain Cao's report tomorrow to discuss this matter."
Zhou Cang sighed in his heart and was a little disappointed with Chen Wen's statement. As a military general, he naturally had a warrior temperament and expected clear rewards and punishments for his lord. However, Chen Wen's excessive political skills made him
A little disappointed.
Zao Zhuan calmed down a little. Since her father-in-law had no intention of investigating the cause of Zhou Xin's death, nor did he say that he would not reward Cao Zhi, he looked at Deng Ai and snorted coldly, and said nothing.
Deng Ai lowered his head and chewed on Zhou Cang's words just now, and remained silent.
Chen Wen saw that everyone couldn't discuss anything anymore, so he chatted about some trivial business matters and then left.
Cao Zhi was fast asleep at this time, so it was naturally impossible for him to hear so many comments surrounding him in the study room of the state capital.
It was the morning of the second day when Cao Zhi woke up, but he didn't have any nightmares last night. Cao Zhi looked very energetic after a day of rest. After getting up, he didn't see Ren Hongchang, and he didn't care about the girl's panic expression.
After washing up under the care of the maid, I was standing in the yard breathing fresh air.
