"General!!"
Cao Mao rushed towards Guanqiu Jian excitedly.
This is the first time the two of them meet.
Just as Guanqiu Jian was about to salute, Cao Mao helped him up and firmly held his hand.
When Cao Mao grabbed Guan Qiujian's hands, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
This was a sense of security that no one else could bring to Cao Mao. Cao Mao was very excited and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Guan Qiu Jian looked at the young emperor in front of him. When Cao Mao firmly held his hand and his whole body was trembling slightly, Guan Qiu Jian felt a little sad.
I was not in the temple, but His Majesty was forced to this point by traitors.
Cao Mao has always been a talkative person.
Especially when facing these generals, he has many tricks and all kinds of flattery.
However, when facing Guanqiu Jian, Cao Mao was not like this.
He didn't even call for a large formation like before to greet the general. He only took a few close ministers with him, walked out of Luoyang, and waited for Guan Qiujian's arrival far away.
Guanqiu Jian never thought that the emperor would travel such a long distance to wait for him.
Cao Mao looked at Guanqiu Jian in front of him for a long time, and then said with a smile: "The general looks different from what I thought."
"I think it's because Dian looks ugly, so your majesty mistakenly thought that the old minister was the same."
Cao Mao didn't expect Guanqiu Jian to joke, so he burst out laughing.
"That's not the case. I thought you looked like a brave warrior."
"Just like General Hu and General Xiahou."
Guan Qiu Jian gave Cao Mao the impression of being very tough. Therefore, Cao Mao thought that he had a serious appearance and a cold face, which meant that he was very tough and brave. However, when he actually saw Guan Qiu Jian, Cao Mao was very surprised.
Guanqiu Jian looked a little elegant, with gentle eyes, and he looked like a distinguished gentleman.
He is different from Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Dan is the kind of flamboyant celebrity who uses various celebrity props to dress himself up as an elegant celebrity.
But Guanqiu Jian was the kind of reserved person. His clothes were very simple, but at first glance he had the aura of an elegant celebrity.
Is this a literati who made the Hu people flee thousands of miles before and then defeated the Wu people? ?
Guanqiu Jian smiled and stroked his beard, "Your Majesty, you can't judge a book by its appearance."
It was the first time that Cao Mao and Guan Qiu Jian met, but they were like old friends reunited after a long separation, with no restraints or differences between them.
Cao Mao pulled Guan Qiu Jian into his car, and Guan Qiu Jian said: "Your Majesty, Sun Yi is still in the team."
"No rush, let him wait a moment."
Cao Mao narrowed his eyes at this moment. He had naturally heard about Wu Guo's affairs.
Sun Jun's reputation was originally very bad, but after Sun Wei inherited his position, Sun Jun's reputation suddenly improved.
Sun Jun died early. He was supposed to die of illness a year later. Although the method was the same, the time became a little different.
But Sun Wei still did not disappoint Cao Mao. He continued his wonderful story in Wu State.
And Cao Mao knew that this was even just the starting point for Sun Wei.
After killing these generals, he would attack the emperor, Shangshu Ling, Sun Luban and others.
He offended everyone he could offend and completely overturned the foundation that Sun Jun had worked so hard to build.
In the end, he was killed by someone sent by the emperor he supported.
This man was a scum among powerful officials, and Cao Mao always felt that he was not even as good as Cao Shuang.
To say that he is a powerful minister is to put a smear on the faces of other powerful ministers.
But he was not without his contribution. He single-handedly made the people of Wu State hate the powerful ministers, and made all the great families unite to hand over power to the emperor again, thus ending the rule of powerful ministers in Wu State.
But Cao Mao suddenly felt that this Sun Wei might become a good friend of his.
It is a good thing for such people to govern Wu State.
Cao Mao and Guan Qiu Jian sat in the carriage and talked about the matter.
"Sun Wei killed several generals in Wu Kingdom, and had no respect for the emperor, officials, and even Sun Luban. These people will definitely take action against him. You tell me, should we send someone to get in touch with him? Let Sun He knows that these people are going to take action against him, so he should be careful."
Guanqiu Jian laughed, "Your Majesty, do you think Sun Wei can be of great use?"
"This man is really a fierce general. After he came to power, he made great achievements in battle. He killed all the opponents we failed to kill on the battlefield."
"But I am very worried that this person will be harmed by traitors in his court. If this person dies, it will be difficult for the Wu Kingdom to deal with."
Guanqiu Jian said: "Sun Wei has inherited Sun Jun's army, so he should be difficult to kill."
"It's hard to say. This person has offended too many people. If all his enemies join forces, I'm afraid this person will die a violent death."
"I still want to remind him to be vigilant. How does the general think we should handle this matter?"
Guanqiu Jian stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have never seen this person, but judging from his behavior, he is unruly and arrogant. If your Majesty sends someone to tell him these things, he will definitely not He obeyed and thought that His Majesty had slighted him.”
"I think that instead of sending people to contact this person, it is better to send people to contact Quan Shang, Ding Feng, Sun Luban and others."
"This man is irritable and unintelligent. Once he feels that these people are colluding with the Wei Dynasty, he will execute them without thinking and kill the three clans."
Cao Mao glanced at Guanqiu Jian in surprise. He didn't expect that the old general was not only good at fighting, he was also very proficient in conspiracy.
Guanqiu Jian's idea was indeed more reliable than his own.
With Sun Wei's mind, he might not believe it when he sees his own letters, but when he sees his letters to others, he will definitely become suspicious.
Cao Mao said, "Then we have to contact Ding Feng first."
The little general Ding Feng, the reason why he is called a little general is because he worked all the way from a little general to a big general.
His life almost followed the life of Wu State. He was a native of Anfeng, Lujiang.
He joined the army when he was young and followed generals such as Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Pan Zhang. He participated in many battles. He was brave and good at fighting, and he was the best in the army. He often killed generals and captured flags, and was promoted from a small soldier to a general.
Later, he participated in many wars against Wei, following Zhuge Dan and Sun Jun, and achieved many military exploits.
In the end, Sun Wei took power and deposed the emperor. Finally, under the order of the new emperor, Ding Feng helped kill Sun Wei and brought power into the hands of the emperor, making him a general.
At this time, Ding Feng was already quite old, but his deeds were not over. The new emperor also died. He made Sun Hao the emperor and sent troops to attack Cao Wei many times. No, there was no Cao Wei at that time. Yes, it is a crusade against the Western Jin Dynasty.
There are still many people Cao Mao wants to kill, including Zhang Bu, Sun Xiu, Ding Feng, and even Lu Kang. If Sun Wei can kill these people, it will be of great benefit to Cao Wei.
It can even be said that he was able to capture the Kingdom of Wu without a single blow.
Guanqiu Jian and Cao Mao talked about the people they could make friends with along the way. When they returned to the palace, Cao Mao took him directly to the west hall.
"General, please don't worry about it. I have too many things that I want to discuss with you, so I didn't inform the other ministers. I will let them come to see me after we have discussed the business."
Guanqiu Jian didn't care about these things at all.
"Your Majesty, I am here just to meet you. Those useless ceremonial guards are not what I pursue most."
The two of them were sitting in the west hall, and Cao Mao had a lot to say.
He told all the difficulties, problems, and confusions he encountered during these days without concealing them.
"General, the government in this world is so bad that it cannot be inspected."
"When I asked your son to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng, I originally wanted him to solve this problem. However, he was too upright, but he was easily bullied by those villains. In the end, I could only use someone like He Zeng. This made all the officials have opinions, and many people objected. If the traitors object, I can ignore it."
"However, there are still many talents among them. I can't lose these talents for He Zeng."
"Especially the celebrities, they were extremely angry. I used to have contacts with Ji Kang and others, but now, they don't dare to come to see me. I sent people to summon them, but they actually started drinking and pretending to be drunk."
"This is treating me like a Sima Master."
"But what can I do? How can I control these traitors?"
Cao Mao also had unspeakable grievances in his heart.
Guanqiu Jian listened to his story very carefully.
Zhang Hua stood at the door, not allowing outsiders to approach.
The more Cao Mao talked, the troubles in his heart emerged, "I have gathered a lot of capable ministers. These people are talented and moral. However, they are still from a wealthy family. When they implement administrative orders, they still act unconsciously." They tend to favor the rich families.”
"But I can't be completely different. If we drive away everyone from a wealthy family, then I will have no one to use."
"The prince's previous seven-point decree is now down to the last one, but after the implementation of six, the results have not yet been seen."
"Traitors everywhere always have ways to distort the temple's policies, and always have ways to fight against my decisions."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."
Guanqiu Jian said softly: "These policies all take time. You have done a good job. Now among the three countries in the world, you are the only one who is trying your best to govern the local area and wants to make changes. I have been along the way. , and you can indeed see changes.”
"The countries of Shu and Wu have become extremely corrupt, and their leaders have never thought of governing them. Liu Chan of Shu was drunk and dreaming, ignoring government affairs, while the powerful officials of Soochow fought for power and killed each other."
"The reason why today's traitors dare to run rampant is because His Majesty has not yet accomplished the greatest feats."
"If we can intensify the civil strife in Wu this time, build a naval army, and destroy the Wu thieves first, and then destroy Bashu, then the world will be settled, and these traitors in the court will not dare to go against you anymore."
