"Mingfu, this is an urgent message sent by my master to deliver it quickly. He said that it must be delivered to you personally. Please take a look at it!"
A messenger dressed in casual clothes bowed in front of Cao Ang.
In his raised hands, he held a sealed bucket of fire paint.
See this situation.
Before Cao Ang could speak.
Cheng Yu took the initiative and said to Cao Ang: "Master Fu, my subordinates will retire first!"
"No rush, just wait aside!"
Cao Ang waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Yu to sit down aside. There was no need to avoid anything for this reason.
After giving the order.
Taking the letterbox from the messenger's hand, looking at the intact paint on it, Cao Ang's eyes flickered, and then he asked in a kind tone.
"Besides sending this letter, does Governor Yuan have anything else to tell you to convey to me?"
The messenger shook his head decisively.
"I don't dare to hide it. Before I left, the Lord told me not to destroy the paint and that it must be delivered to you personally. He only said that you should give me a reply as soon as possible so that I can return to my life in time."
Now Cao Ang understood a little bit.
It was said that he was asked to give an answer instead of urgently requesting support. This shows that the conflict between him and Gongsun Zan did not break out.
But this guy Yuan Shao is causing trouble.
Nanpi County is still quite far away from Puyang County, so the letter can be delivered to me today.
It was most likely that Yuan Shao sent people on the road not long after Wen Chou returned.
Tsk!
As expected, they are all direct descendants of the Yuan family in Runan. Each of them is more tossing than the other, and they always play tricks in the same way.
While thinking about it.
Cao Ang used a knife to cut open the fire seal and took out a volume of silk book.
But as he unfolded the letter, the information above jumped into his mind one after another, and the look on Cao Ang's face suddenly became extremely surprised.
Even his eyes were a little surprised.
Damn, this old boy Yuan Benchu really knows how to play!
…
After a while.
Cao Ang folded the silk book, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and the emotions on his face gradually calmed down, returning to the calm and calm look before.
"A letter like this was only sent to me once, or was it sent to multiple places?"
Cao Ang asked abruptly.
After trying hard to recall a few moments, the messenger replied honestly: "He should be sent to many places. When the villain left Nanpi County, several teams set out with me."
"It's just where they are going and how many messenger teams there are in total. Please forgive me, I really don't know."
Cao Ang nodded.
"You go down with my family to rest first. After I finish writing my reply, I will send it back to you."
After the messenger agreed and carefully retreated, Cao Ang leaned against the pillar behind him and threw the silk book on the table.
"Zhongde, please come and take a look at it, and tell me how I should reply to Yuan Benchu."
If the superiors have concerns, the subordinates must think about them.
Cheng Yu quickly took the letter and studied it word for word.
Soon, his expression changed drastically.
…
"Nowadays, there are strife in the world and chaos in the government. There are hundreds of officials and ministers at the top who are controlled by others, and the lives of the common people below are like straw."
"In this chaotic world, unless there is a master of resurgence in the country, we cannot make long-term plans."
"Although we have an emperor in the Han Dynasty, he is also a bloodline of the imperial family. However, we are far away in Chang'an and controlled by Dong Thief. Hundreds of officials and ministers are also vying to flatter Dong Thief. This sincerity cannot be trusted by the people of the world, and it is difficult to be popular among them. Lord."
A few words were said in a slightly formal tone.
But the meaning is actually very simple. Yuan Shao believed that if he wanted to bring peace to the world and restore the Han Dynasty, he must have a master of great talent and virtue.
The emperor Liu Xie, who was now being raised up by Dong Zhuo, was a controlled puppet and could not be called the leader of ZTE. Yuan Shao rejected his legitimacy.
Just these few words.
He had already looked at Cheng Yu with twinkling eyes, and thoughts were swirling in his mind.
And wait to continue reading.
Cheng Yu and his heart involuntarily accelerated their beating speed.
"Although the world has a king but no father, if things go on like this, the Han Dynasty will inevitably decline even more."
"The most urgent task is to establish a holy king in the east and block the way out of Chang'an eastward. It won't take many years for the traitor Dong to be exhausted and die, and then the world will be settled!"
"My virtuous nephew Zixiu, I want to make Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, emperor, and I hope that you will respond sincerely. I will purge the world one day, and you will do a great job!"
…
There was silence in the side hall.
After Cheng Yu finished reading the letter, he couldn't help but fell into silence and was speechless for a long time.
He was really shocked by Yuan Shao's bold plan.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being one of the top sects in the world. What he thinks is different from others, and what he plays is the most high-end and top-notch style.
After so long.
Cheng Yucai said to Cao Ang with some difficulty: "Master Fu, Yuan Benchu is planning to establish a new emperor, elect Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as the emperor, and completely abandon the emperor who is far away in Chang'an!"
"In the opinion of my subordinates, this matter should be rejected and we must not agree to Yuan Benchu's plan!"
Cao Ang nodded slightly.
Cheng Yu would not agree without telling him.
He still has Liu Bian in his hand. If Yuan Shao did this, wouldn't the ace in his hand become a useless card?
The originally envisioned strategy of obeying the emperor's orders and disobeying his ministers would also become a fantasy because Liu Bian lost its effect.
So it's not just as simple as saying no.
Efforts must also be made to disrupt this.
…
In fact, according to the information Cao Ang knew, Yuan Shao's deliberate plan to establish a new king ended in nothing.
The problem lies with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.
Liu Boan is a loyal minister.
If you look through the current Han Dynasty, you will probably not be able to find a few people who are more loyal to the court than him.
How could such a person agree with Yuan Shao's move to elect him emperor?
What's more, Liu Yu is not a fool. You, Yuan Benchu, clearly want to hold me in your hands as a puppet by doing this. If we agree, will our treatment be much better than that of Liu Xie in Dong Zhuo's hands?
certainly.
Even though Cao Ang knew that this matter would probably fail.
Nor can he do nothing.
It must be hindered.
To ensure that the plan will fail as promised.
Think about this.
Cao Ang put away the silk books on the desk and said with a chuckle: "Although I am far away in Chang'an now, he is still of the blood of the late emperor."
"Unless King Hongnong is resurrected, any other member of the Liu clan who wants to replace him as emperor will be criticized by the world."
"If I attach myself to Yuan Benchu, I'm afraid there won't be much benefit, but I'll get infamy for no reason. I sincerely won't do this!"
After expressing his attitude.
Cao Ang then asked: "It's just that Yuan Benchu is my close neighbor in Yanzhou. Even if I don't agree with this matter, I can't refuse it with stern words. Otherwise, it will inevitably make the relationship between our two families sour. I wonder if Zhongde has a good plan?"
…
Seeing that Cao Ang can express his position clearly and neatly.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the leader he had just appointed would be confused by Yuan Shao's few words and would blindly agree to this matter, which would be really troublesome.
Fortunately, Mr. Fu is really good at handling things.
As for saying he doesn't want to get into trouble with Yuan Shao.
Cheng Yu understands it very well.
After all, Yuan Shao has a top-notch family background in the world, and he has plenty of soldiers and food under his command, and he has a lot of strength.
If there isn't a huge conflict, it's best not to get into trouble with it.
Maintaining a neutral attitude that neither obeys nor opposes him will maximize your interests.
Facing the questions given by Cao Ang.
After Cheng Yu thought for a moment, he quickly gave the corresponding solution.
"As the general said, if you agree directly, you will definitely attract criticism from all over the world. You are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you do such an unethical thing?"
"But it is also inappropriate to refuse outright, so I suggest that you postpone this matter and hold back the reply for the time being."
"After all, Mr. Fu, you have many things to do and are busy with government affairs. It is reasonable that you cannot spare any time to respond."
Speaking of which.
Cheng Yu paused for a moment.
Then he lowered his voice and spoke in a deep voice with a slightly sinister tone.
"Besides, Nanpi County and Puyang County are thousands of miles apart, and they pass through several counties along the way. Bandits and bandits are rampant. The messengers encountered some changes on the way back and forth, so that the letters we sent back were lost. This is not impossible. Something!"
…
Cheng Yu showed off his slightly sinister methods without any scruples.
After hearing this, Cao Ang.
His eyes flickered for a while.
Then Mingwu said with a slight smile: "Zhongde's intention is to delay the time until Yuan Shao makes Liu Yu the emperor. If this matter changes clearly, we will express our position again?"
Cheng Yu bowed slightly.
He said happily: "See you soon, Mr. Fu!"
"If Yuan Shao succeeds in making Liu Yu the emperor, and you are not an outstanding person because of the lost letter at that time, what does the scolding of the people in the world have to do with you?"
"On the contrary, if Yuan Shao fails, he should be suffering from a headache at that time. You only need to make a little excuse, Mr. Fu, will he still be able to find trouble with us?"
Cao Ang nodded slightly.
His right hand tapped lightly on the table, making a very rhythmic "tuk-tuk" sound.
After pondering for a long time.
Cao Ang suddenly waved his hand.
Then he asked meaningfully: "Then I dare to ask Zhongde, what if I not only want to delay this matter, but also intend to sabotage it secretly?"
…
Cheng Yu was stunned.
He blinked his eyes in confusion.
But after thinking for a moment, he understood the meaning of Cao Ang's words.
Wonderful!
It turns out that this is what our husband had in mind!
Not only did he not offend Yuan Shao, but he also secretly stirred up the matter. This kind of back-and-forth style is indeed the clear master I have been looking for!
Cheng Yu said nothing.
He immediately stroked his beard with his hands, racked his brains, and began to think carefully.
It took quite a while to wait.
Cheng Yucai struck with fists and palms.
There is a crisp sound of "pop".
Then he hurriedly warned Cao Ang: "If you want to destroy this matter, there are only two ways to go. One is to attack Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and the other is Yuan Shao himself."
"Liu Yuyuan is in Youzhou, and we don't know what he thinks about being made emperor."
"So it is most convenient and reliable to start with Yuan Shao. With Yuan Shao's current reputation and status, I am afraid that the only ones in the world who are completely unafraid of him, and even have hidden hostility towards him..."
Speaking of which.
Cheng Yu pointed towards the south.
"General Yuan Shu!"
…
The words are spoken.
Its meaning is all clear.
For this reason, there is no need for Cheng Yu to explain the next words clearly.
Cao Ang slapped his right hand heavily on the table, and then started to add it very smoothly.
"Zhong De's plan is very feasible!"
"I'll do what you said. While delaying the reply, I pretend to leak the news to Nanyang County. I believe that after Yuan Shu learns about this, he will definitely send someone to express his firm opposition to Yuan Shao."
The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have a huge conflict, which is basically known to everyone in the world.
Although from the same family.
But sometimes the disputes within the family are more fierce and cruel than the hostility with outsiders.
Therefore, once it is known, Yuan Shao has the possibility of establishing a new king and controlling the new emperor.
Even if Yuan Shu couldn't gain any benefit himself, he would definitely oppose it at all costs.
And with Yuan Shu's current posture.
In the eyes of the people in the world, he was like a behemoth. Even Yuan Shao did not dare to provoke him easily before he completely exposed his weak nature.
Therefore, only Yuan Shu comes forward.
And Liu Yu refused accordingly.
Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up.
And as long as Yuan Shao gives up, won't Cao Ang have nothing to worry about?
The emperor card in his hand can continue to hold the currency and wait for it to rise, and then turn it out when the market is good.
Liu Bian is more legal than all the people in the clan with the surname Liu at the moment.
I will put him back on the stage in the future, and Yuan Shao will now appoint Liu Yu as the new emperor. The nature of the two is absolutely not the same.
…………
After agreeing on this matter.
Cao Ang can be regarded as thoroughly verifying Cheng Yu's talents, and through the vicious energy Cheng Yu showed when making suggestions for himself.
And the overall perspective you have.
It was determined that Cheng Zhongde was a trustworthy person.
Therefore, when Cheng Yuzheng was about to resign, Cao Ang solemnly handed him the Quyuuli drawings he had collected in his hand.
He also ordered Cheng Yu to arrange for craftsmen to build it as soon as possible, and strictly required confidentiality.
It is best for everyone who knows the specific inside information to arrange manpower for surveillance and control.
As for the finished Quyuan plow.
Naturally, the more of this, the better.
Just consider that at the moment, it is only suitable for large-scale group farming. Except for military villages that can play a cost-effective role, other scenarios are not suitable.
Moreover, productivity is indeed in short supply.
There are a lot of things that need to be built, and there is a huge gap between high-skilled craftsmen and ordinary craftsmen.
Therefore, Cao Ang only asked Cheng Yu to build enough equipment for the number of soldiers in Dongjun.
Try it out for a while first.
After the productivity is sufficient, the scale of production will be expanded and shipped to his father Cao Cao.
After Cheng Yu received this task.
Naturally, he was frightened.
How could he not know the importance of this thing?
Compared with the current straight-shaft plow, this excellent agricultural instrument has a substantial improvement. Its significance is profound and needs no explanation to understand.
And now Fujun has entrusted such an important thing into his own hands.
How much trust and respect is this?
After Cheng Yu received the drawings, he promised to keep them strictly confidential and make every effort to make arrangements.
