Chen Xi didn't pay much attention to Zhuge Liang's behavior. He was just studying what he liked. As for military formations, Chen Xi's current level is a sharp arrow formation. As for other things, Chen Xi looked at those powerful formations and finally found out It seems that it takes a lot of effort to learn how to spend.
Chen Xi also asked people about formations. Most military generals only know a few conventional formations. As for high-end items such as eight-door golden locks, even Liu Ye only knows a little about them. Of course, like Guys like Guo Jia, who even knows all kinds of things, are not included. This is what he has mastered.
It is also troublesome to learn this kind of thing. First of all, you need a teacher. This alone kills more than 99% of people. Not many people know the formation, and not many people are willing to teach it. After all, these are the ultimate killer weapons. , except for some idiots who just learned it and put it out to show off, as long as they are not stupid, they will hide it well.
Because of this, Chen Xi felt so miraculous that Li You was willing to teach Zhuge Liang the Eight Golden Locks, not to mention teaching Zhuge Liang the full transformation and future deduction methods. This was almost like passing on the mantle to Zhuge Liang.
With so much information, plus the Qimen Dunjia passed down from Guo Jia, it is estimated that Zhuge Liang will be able to study the eight formation diagrams by himself, so Chen Xi is embarrassed to disturb Zhuge Liang.
After Chen Xi walked a few steps to Guo Jia's place, the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion told Guo Jia to see Xi Zhicai off. Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he borrowed a carriage from the Guo Mansion and headed directly towards the west gate of Fenggao. Go. But by the time Chen Xi arrived, Guo Jia had already walked back.
"Hey, why are you drinking again!" Chen Xi jumped off the carriage and looked at Guo Jia pulling the horse to drink wine carelessly, and snatched the wine bottle away.
"Zhicai is gone." Guo Jia said with emotion.
"Ah? Weren't you fine the past two days?" Chen Xi was stunned.
"..." Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi speechlessly.
"Who told you not to explain clearly?" Chen Xi said with some embarrassment, "Why don't you take me with you to see him off? After all, I should also see Chen Changwen off. Thanks to him, we now have many more middle-level civil servants."
"The letter he sent said that he didn't need me to see him, so I knew that he had already left when he sent the letter. However, I chased him for more than ten miles and didn't see his frame. It really didn't matter. No mercy!" Guo Jia said angrily, don't you even want to see him once?
"I probably don't want you to see his face when he left. After all, you have a good relationship." Chen Xi handed the wine bottle to Guo Jia and said.
On the other side, Xi Zhicai was sitting in the carriage chatting with Chen Qun and Sima Lang. After Xi Zhicai was able to get out of bed, he immediately discovered the letter he wrote to Cao Cao before he vomited blood. , but instead of notifying Chen Qun to be sent to Yanzhou, he ordered a guard to be sent to Yanzhou.
Later, after confirming that his physical problem was not serious, Xi Zhicai had another diagnosis and treatment at Hua Tuo's place. After confirming that he only needed more care and not to be too tired, Xi Zhicai had no idea of continuing to stay in Mount Tai.
One is that if he continues to stay in Taishan and cannot obtain the talents of the people in Taishan, it will be a waste of time. There are still many things in Yanzhou that need him to deal with. The other is that he does not want Guo Jia to continue to talk to him in case of triggering. , then it would be too painful for him to die.
In addition, he had already acquired Sima Lang and two potential wise men, Cai Yan, who was equivalent to a mobile library. Xi Zhicai also felt that he had gained a lot from this trip. Although he vomited blood twice, Cao Cao's Hegemony has taken another step forward, and this is worth it.
As for things like detecting intelligence, Chen Qun has already collected everything he can. After all, Taishan himself has the idea of displaying some things.
It can be said that the goal of coming to Taishan this time, apart from copying the spiritual talents of everyone in Taishan, has been exceeded. The other goals have been exceeded. Although returning at this time is not perfect, in Xi Zhicai's view, it is already a fruitful return. , nothing to regret.
"Long article, you have collected all the information about Mount Tai by yourself. Compare it to our Yanzhou and see what else we need?" After chatting for a while, they habitually got to the topic. Sima Lang had been attracted by Chen Qun during this period. He was persuaded to join Cao Cao's army.
"The biggest gap between us and Taishan is reserves. Chen Zichuan has stockpiled everything he can think of. Taishan's reserves can almost cope with a drought, snowstorm, and plague throughout the entire reign." Chen Qun said with a wry smile, "It is called There’s nothing wrong with planning ahead.”
"Natural disasters can be ignored. Chen Zichuan's spiritual talent can change the weather within the scope of Liu Bei's rule. Let's talk about other things." Xi Zhicai waved his hand. Chen Xi's spiritual talent was too advantageous.
"Changing the weather across the board?" Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, but then he responded, "We need money and food now. A large amount of money and food are used to expand the army, train troops, maintain stability under the rule, and establish a new household registration system. And we need to establish The Library Pavilion improves the treatment of soldiers."
"These all require money and food." Xi Zhicai said helplessly. Although Cao Cao had some savings, the amount was still far behind what Chen Qun said.
"While Zhicai was sleeping, I had already sent the information back and suggested that the lord recruit the Hedong Wei family. After all, just because we don't have enough money and food doesn't mean that some families don't have enough money and food." Chen Qun said with a smile. He was already talking to Fenggao and Hedong Wei. We have had contact with the Zhen family. This family has held the second position among the five wealthy businessmen two hundred years ago and has been constantly fighting with the Zhen family.
"That's fine." Xi Zhicai nodded. He had already seen the wealth of the top wealthy businessmen in Taishan, not to mention the top Hedong Wei family. If such families join, then money and food will definitely not be a problem for them. The financial resources are enough to support the squandering of the princes all the way.
After receiving Chen Qun's handwritten letter, Cao Cao ordered the head of the Chen Liuwei family to have frequent contact with the Hedong Wei family. The Chen Liuwei family and the Hedong Wei family themselves wore the same pair of trousers. With Wei Zi, who survived the accident, he spared no effort to win over the Hedong Wei family. During the New Year family gathering, they decided to fully support Cao Cao. After all, the princes with the best situation in the world are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao. The other princes are inferior in power and momentum.
Needless to say, Yuan Shao's side, the Hedong Wei family and the Zhen family have been feuding for hundreds of years. If they don't fight, the Hedong Wei family can just change their surnames. On Liu Bei's side, Mi Zhu forcefully subdued the Zhen family in Jizhou, and his amazing and brilliant performance made people laugh. The Hedong Wei family completely gave up the idea of joining Liu Bei.
They don't want to be swallowed up by Mi Zhu if they join. The Zhen family is such a rich family. If it hadn't been for the huge amount of liquidity that Mi Zhu had killed last time, the Hedong Wei family doesn't think they can withstand Mi Zhu's calculations. After all, they used to They also suppressed Mi Zhu.
In the end, only Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were left, and Cao Cao wore the same pants as their family. The Chen Liuwei family, an ancestor, tried their best to win over them. The Hedong Wei family barely pushed and fell into Cao Cao's arms without much arguing.
Today is the new head of the Wei family in Hedong, Wei Zhongdao's eldest brother, Wei Boru, who is joining Cao Cao's banquet on behalf of the Wei family.
At this moment when Cao Cao felt how wonderful life was, a messenger rushed in, "Lord, something bad is going on!"
Cao Cao glared at the messenger with a gloomy look. Today was a happy day to welcome the Hedong Wei family to join his command, but he didn't expect that the messenger was so ignorant.
"Say!" A cold light flashed across Cao Cao's eyes.
"The lord's father was killed by Tao Qian's general Zhang Kai at the junction of Lu and Xuzhou one month ago!" The messenger lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cao Cao, and quickly explained the matter.
As soon as these words came out, the whole banquet couldn't help but become silent. Cao Cao's eyes went dark when he heard this and he fell directly on the table.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and roared with blood-red eyes, "Tao Qian sent troops to kill my father. This hatred is irreconcilable. I am determined to raise an entire army to bloodbath Xuzhou! If I don't avenge this revenge, I won't be a human being. I swear I won't be a human being!"
All the generals present stood up and knelt down in front of Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Ren shouted with blood-red eyes, "I am willing to be the vanguard and bloodbath Xuzhou!" (To be continued.)
