Lu Kang was still very happy when he saw Cao Zhi's smart interface. He turned around, took a few steps forward, and stood face to face with Cao Zhi in the courtyard. Lu Kang reached out and patted Cao Zhi's shoulder, and said cautiously: "Exactly, I
I also know that this trip is extremely risky, but the captain is highly skilled and bold, and I can’t think of a second candidate in this Anhui city who is more suitable than the captain.”
Seeing Cao Zhi lowering his head in deep thought, Lu Kang continued: "Of course, Zheng Bao may not necessarily escape. This is just my personal conjecture. But as long as the captain is willing to lead his troops there, Lu Kang guarantees here that he will not be punished in front of the governor in the future."
I will definitely vigorously advocate for the captain."
When Cao Zhi heard this, he just raised the corner of his mouth and did not answer. Lu Kang began to feel uneasy. He looked intently into Cao Zhi's eyes and said to Cao Zhi: "I heard that the captain was squeezed out by Deng Ai everywhere in Liyang. Hum.
, then Deng Ai is nothing in Lu’s eyes. As soon as the war here is over, Lu Kang will immediately write to the governor Chen and recommend Captain Cao to be the governor of Danyang.”
Cao Zhi was stunned at first, but he didn't expect that Lu Kang would also come up with this kind of inducement. Cao Zhi then pretended to be a philistine like a common man, looked at Lu Kang with salivation and said: "The governor is really willing to recommend Cao Zhi as the governor of Danyang."
position?quot;
Lu Kang was very satisfied with Cao Zhi's performance. This was what he wanted. At the same time, he also had a sense of contempt for Cao Zhi. Cao Song's son was nothing more than that. He thought that people like Cao Zhi would not be able to make a big impact. Faced with such a
A little benefit, just a lingering look of greed. Even if he lives next to Lujiang in the future, what will happen if he becomes the prefect of Danyang? He immediately said: "That's right, the captain can rest assured that Lu will always keep his word."
, based on the relationship between me and Governor Chen, it is not Lu's boast. As long as Lu comes forward to recommend you, the position of prefect must belong to you. Captain, you must seize the opportunity! Deng Ai will be with you for the rest of the year when you are not in Yangzhou.
He has been staying in Danyang to provide advice and suggestions to the governor of Chen in order to govern Danyang. He has not yet held the title of governor of Danyang."
Lu Kang imagined Cao Zhi's affirmative answer. He even turned around melancholy, turned his back, put his hands behind his back, and took a few steps slowly, waiting for Cao Zhi's passionate voice to fight to the death from behind.
Cao Zhi spoke up and said: "That's great. Cao Zhi personally worked for the prefect to serve the whole horse. However, my father once reminded Cao Zhi when he went out and said that Cao Zhi was doing something good.
He is easily impulsive, so whenever he travels, he always sends one or two brothers to accompany him. Now there is a cousin in Cao Zhi's military camp to guard Zhi. Cao Zhi goes back first, discusses with his family and subordinates, and then replies to the prefect.
This time, Lu Kang was dumbfounded and said, "You still have a brother accompanying you on the march?"
"Yes, his name is Xia Houyuan!"
"Ahem! That's fine. I'll wait for the good news, but Captain, please be quick! Captain, you don't have to worry about excessive losses of your subordinates during this trip. I have put a group of soldiers who are familiar with the Lujiang River system on standby.
You can follow the captain to the expedition at any time.quot;
"Oh!" After talking for a long time, Lu Kang, an old fox, still has this skill. This means that even if Cao Zhi agrees to the invitation for this battle, he cannot bring his own subordinates with him, but must use Lu Kang's people.
Lu Kang's suspicious nature is fully reflected at this time, and he will leave a back-up plan that is beneficial to him in every problem and every corner.
Cao Zhi thought about it, if he encountered such a thing in the future, he should arrange it in this way. Lu Kang actually made sense. If you want Cao Zhi to take his troops out of the city to ambush your enemy, Cao Zhi would
What should I do if Zhi Paipai pats his ass and slips away? If he encounters someone with sinister intentions, he directly sells out Lu Kang’s plan to Zheng Bao or Jiang Xiaman, betrays them, and lets them fight to the death. Cao Zhi will then lose both sides.
When he was injured, if a strange soldier stood out and took advantage of him, Lu Kang would die miserably.
Now is not the time for Cao Zhi to bargain with Lu Kang. Cao Zhi said: "I understand." He left, turned around and left.
Lu Kang stood alone in the flying snowflakes and watched Cao Zhi's back disappear, shaking his head and sighing at the cunningness of today's young people.
When Cao Zhi returned to Beicheng, Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Li Ru, and Wang Ping were all waiting for him in a large common room where soldiers ate. The facilities in the barracks in Beicheng were simple and there was no meeting hall specially designed for generals.
When Cao Zhi approached the Beicheng barracks, he saw a figure wandering in the dark shadow of the wind and snow at the entrance of the Beicheng tower. Cao Zhi walked in and saw that it was Cao An who was waiting for him. Because it was too cold, he could only stomp back and forth.
Keep your body warm.
Cao An was very happy to see Cao Zhi, and he took Cao Zhi directly to the dining hall of Datongfang.
Cao Zhi stepped into the dining hall with a curtain and was greeted by a rush of hot air. There were two large fire pots burning in the dining hall, making the room warm as spring, which formed a clear contrast with the wind and snow outside.
Cao Zhi took off his cloak and said with a smile: "Where are they all?"
When everyone saw that Cao Zhi was back, they all came forward to greet him. Cao An took Cao Zhi's cloak, and Cao Zhi stepped forward and waved to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, you all are here. I also have important matters to discuss with you."
....quot;
Xia Houyuan and others waited until now just for the news that Cao Zhi brought back from Lu Kang.
Cao Zhi briefly explained what Lu Kang had asked for. Perhaps everyone was surprised, and the dining hall fell silent for a while.
Cao Zhi was not in a hurry at the moment. He picked up the water bowl in front of him and took a sip. He glanced at everyone, and everyone's expressions were obviously digesting the unexpected news that Cao Zhi brought back.
When Cao Zhi's eyes came to Xia Houyuan's face, his brows were squeezed into the character "Sichuan". He was the first to say: "No, we must not take such a strange risk. We don't care about this little achievement. The thieves are preparing to escape."
You are the most ferocious. If you block their way of life and they don't fight you, usually the generals who do this job will not get any benefits, and the whole army may be destroyed. When I came out, I promised your big brother to take good care of you. If
If you return with your body wrapped up, how can I have the face to meet your elder brother? Tomorrow we will go and kill Lu Kang and let him choose another capable minister to do this."
Xia Houyuan has always had a strong sense of responsibility, which is to ensure the safety of Cao Zhi. Ancient people were very loyal. If they failed to fulfill the promises they made, they would feel shameless and some even committed suicide.
After Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Li Dian also continued: "That's right, brother, we can't pay for Lu Kang's life like this. Lu Kang is reluctant to let his son go, so he wants his brother to be cannon fodder. How can it be so cheap?"
As soon as Li Dian finished speaking, there was a burst of approval. Cao An, Xu Chu, and Wang Ping all agreed.
Wang Ping recalled the quarrel between Lu Kang and Lu Jun that he and Cao Zhi had bumped into. Now it seemed to him that it was all an act. He even said that it was a scam, with the purpose of luring Cao Zhi into a trap, and it was arranged intentionally.
This gap between father and son.
Xu Chu was even more impulsive, shouting to fight and kill him. If Cao Zhi didn't stop him, Xu Chu would go to the county government with a big knife and cause a scene.
