Xu Chu, Mi Heng, and Cao An, as Cao Zhi's family generals and counselors, now finally have formal official positions, so they are happy. Originally, Cao Zhi asked Xu Chu and the others to go to the military camp to help as Cao Zhi's family generals. They did not have formal official positions. Cao Zhi
After Zhi sent the original Sima and other officers to the training class, he took on multiple positions. The power was concentrated, but how could he manage it alone? The other generals had just started to interact with each other and were still in the understanding stage.
At this time, Xu Chu and Mi Heng returned to him, and Cao Zhi promptly activated them to help him handle military affairs. The generals of the Western Camp also knew that Xu Chu and others were Cao Zhi's generals and counselors, and their abilities were indeed impressive.
When people admire you, they obey you.
As soon as Xu Zhu and others received the appointment document today, they hurriedly came to Cao Mansion to report the good news and express their gratitude to Cao Zhi.
Xu Chu was wearing a gray robe and a "Fan Kuai crown" today. He looked much more refreshing and more heroic than before. However, Xiangzi's temper had not changed. When he visited Cao Zhi, he couldn't help but hear that Cao Zhi had nothing.
With an angry expression on his face, he sighed, "Granny, what do you mean by this fart as a governor? Why doesn't our lord have anything? From deployment to fighting with real weapons, aren't all the real things done by our lord? Damn it, when it comes to discussion
What’s the point of not being rewarded for meritorious deeds when the lord is missing?”
Next to him, Mi Heng was also wearing new clothes today, wearing a Jinxian crown and a long-eared "Jie"-shaped cap. After hearing Xu Chu's words, he could only be described as scornful. He glanced sideways at Xu Chu and said unhurriedly: "Old Xu,
You might say you don’t study well, but you usually don’t admit it.”
Xu Chu twisted his neck and said unconvinced: "What does this have to do with studying?"
Obviously, after getting along for a period of time, the two enemies have shown signs of harmony. In the past, the two of them couldn't argue with each other and had started fighting a long time ago. It's not like they can talk nice now.
Mi Heng waited for Xu Chu to ask him this question. He sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said righteously: "Our lord has just established a foothold in Yangzhou, and now he has been appointed to the rank of Captain.
The one I have is Sili Xiaowei, Lao Xu, do you think we have Sili Xiaowei in Yangzhou?"
Xu Chuzou frowned, thought hard and said, "I don't know if there is a Sili Xiaowei in Yangzhou."
Xu Chu's answer immediately attracted a disdainful snort from Mi Heng, and then he shook his head and stood up to look at Cao Zhi, who was also looking at him, and started to show off even more proudly, "I checked, there is no Sili school in Yangzhou so far.
Lieutenant, even the son-in-law of Governor Chen has the same rank as our lord. Think about it, Lao Xu. Even if Chen Wen appreciates my lord, he would never give such an important official position to someone who has only been with him for a month or two.
!" After saying that, he glanced at Cao Zhi, who was also nodding thoughtfully. Mi Heng felt better and began to walk around the room talking, "Also, Lao Xu, you know that this Sili Colonel is in Yangzhou
Does it mean anything?"
Xu Chu was obviously blinded by Mi Heng. He stared at his eyes and grinned: "What does it mean?"
Mi Heng chuckled, his mung bean eyes twinkling, and said to Xu Chu pretending to be mysterious: "The Sili Xiaowei of this state is the highest military officer of the state, and those under the governor or the prefect of the state belong to this Sili Xiaowei."
The lieutenant has the most authority in a state, so usually the governor or state pastor leaves this important position to his cronies. It is absolutely impossible to give such an important position to our lord now."
Cao Zhi was wearing a loose black auspicious wen-breasted robe and blue-purple fat Confucian pants on his legs. He was looking relaxed and content. After hearing this, he couldn't help but admire Mi Heng's detailed understanding of Yangzhou officialdom and his thorough analysis. It seemed that those high-minded people in the past
They are all pretending, otherwise how could they understand official positions, division of powers and other things so clearly. When Cao Zhi made a list for them some time ago, he was worried that the official position he hired was too small to balance his arrogant character.
He would look down on him, so he refused to accept the job. Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. Mi Heng is very determined to become an official! In the past, in order to promote his own status, he showed that he regarded high-ranking officials as generous and generous.
Dung noble complex.
In fact, this complex was a common problem among knowledgeable people throughout the feudal era. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many hermits and caves.
Cao Zhi was thinking nonsense here, but Mi Heng was not finished yet! He saw him sitting back on his desk in a dignified manner, humming and continuing to lecture Xu Chu, "Also, do you think that we got our official positions based on our own abilities?"
of".
Xu Chu, however, still frowned and replied unconvinced: "Isn't it true?"
Mi Heng squinted his little eyes, smiled, and said in an old-fashioned way: "With the little merit you and I have accomplished... not only us, but also the whole Xiying can get so many benefits, all because of thanks."
The gift from our lord was given by Governor Chen to appease our lord. Governor Chen could not be promoted to my lord's military position at this time, but he could work around it! It would be easier for us, otherwise there would be no expedition. My lord
The above table is all agreed, this is what Governor Chen intends to do to make our lord feel something."
Miheng paused after saying this to let the people in the room think about what he just said, so that it would appear valuable (a common problem among scholars), and then continued: "Besides, even if the lord is really promoted to Secretary this time,
It may not be a good thing to be appointed as a school captain. If my lord is new to Yangzhou and rises too quickly, he will become a target of public criticism and will easily arouse people's jealousy, which will be very detrimental to his future success in Yangzhou."
Cao Zhi sighed secretly in his heart, "I'm already jealous." He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, and at the same time secretly praised Mi Heng's insight.
Although Mi Heng talked eloquently, the main thing he said was to Cao Zhi, and he didn't expect Xu Zhu and Cao An to understand. Mi Heng was very satisfied with his performance today. He has never been like this since he defected to Cao Zhi.
Showed his talent.
Just when Mi Heng closed his eyes slightly and was secretly proud of his performance, he suddenly smelled a foul smell wafting into his nostrils and thought to himself: "I haven't farted much recently, my lord's study is still on fire."
"Incense, that smell is coming from there." Then he opened his eyes and saw, wow! He was shocked. He saw a dark face and a pair of copper bell-like eyes approaching his eyes.
Two thick tube-like nostrils were blowing out stinky breath, and he said in a loud voice: "Whoever dares to be jealous of our lord, tell me, I will kill him right now."
Mi Heng knew Xu Zhu was coming up to him before he could see the black face clearly. He hurriedly narrowed his neck, thinking that Xu Zhu was going to get rough with him! When he heard Xu Zhu's words clearly, he realized that this guy didn't understand him at all.
if.
Mi Heng pushed Xu Zhu away helplessly and explained: "How could I say that someone is jealous of the lord now? I meant if, if you understand?"
Cao An looked on and laughed. Cao Zhi glared at him. He quickly put away his smile and still stood solemnly beside Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi saw that the two of them were going to start messing around again. He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. You guys can tell me what to do about Danyang?"
When Xu Zhu and Mi Heng heard Cao Zhi's words, they immediately stopped bickering and turned their eyes around.
Xu Zhu was particularly excited. He stepped in front of Cao Zhi's cases, put his hands on the cases, and said excitedly: "Brother, there is another battle to be fought."
