After Fu finished preparing to go out, he went to find Dong Cheng.
The person behind the entire action against Cao Cao was Dong Cheng.
But as soon as he went out, someone came.
The person who came was none other than Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family in Hanoi. He came unexpectedly and Fu Wan had to stay and entertain him.
"Jiangong came to see me, what's the matter?"
Fu Wan asked.
Jiangong is the word for Sima Fang. He said: "If I guessed correctly, Cao Sikong took away the military power. Next, even the political power will be taken away from you."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement.
Judging from the current situation, this is the general trend, and no one can stop Cao Cao from madly seizing power.
"You are unwilling to hand over power, so you want to resist. I guess Dong Guozhang is leading the resistance. Is Fu Guozhang anxious to see Dong Guozhang?" Sima Fang looked at Fu Wan and said unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Fu Wan frowned and asked, "What does Sima Jiangong mean by this?"
They haven't figured out yet which side the Sima family is on.
Sima Yi was forced to serve as an official by Cao Cao, and the Sima family also came to Xudu from Wen County. They looked like Cao Cao's people, but they didn't look like them.
"I want to tell Fu Guozhang to be more cautious."
Sima Fang explained the purpose of his visit and said: "It is enough for Dong Guozhang and the others to plan. There is no need for Fu Guozhang to get involved. Of course it is good if it succeeds. If it fails, Cao Sikong will not kill them all."
After Fu finished, he put down his guard against Sima Fang.
If you think about it seriously, it is indeed the case.
They plan together, and the risks are high.
If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for no one, and Cao Cao will take the blame.
"I can guess your next plan. I came here specifically to stop Fu Guozhang from meeting Dong Guozhang."
Sima got on guard, faced the palace, and bowed: "We, the Sima family, have lived in the Han Dynasty for generations, and we also want to do something for the big man. Can Mr. Fu understand that?"
"sure."
Fu Wan said solemnly: "The founding of the public is a great cause of justice!"
Sima Fang shook his head and said: "I just did what I should do as a Hanchen."
Fu Wan put it down temporarily and made arrangements with Dong Cheng.
——
Peace returned to peace inside and outside Xudu City.
The impact of the hunting incident did not last long.
Chen Zhou didn't know what Dong Cheng and the others were planning, because Dong Cheng was still on guard against him, and there were some things he didn't want him to know, but he didn't care about it and was happy to be free.
I don't know how comfortable it is to spend time with my wife at home every day.
Chen Zhou never takes the initiative to find trouble for himself. Under normal circumstances, if Cao Cao has something to do, he will do it.
Of course, the exception is the pig raising side.
Cao Ang came to report to Chen Zhou again about the progress of forging and pig raising.
"Our weapons can be forged in batches."
"The current technology is stable and there are no problems for the time being."
"The first batch of forged weapons and armor has been sent to Gao Boping's newly formed trap camp. The second batch of my soldiers can definitely be equipped."
"There will be absolutely no problem against Yuan Shao next year."
Cao Ang said excitedly.
No one in Cao's army knew how sharp and hard those brand-new weapons were.
When the first batch of weapons was sent to the trapped camp, Gao Shun was so happy that he couldn't describe it. Cao Cao and the others were also excited and ordered Cao Ang to increase the scale of forging.
If you want money, Cao Cao will give it.
Cao Cao also gave people to important people.
Not only the trapped camp and Cao Ang's personal soldiers, Cao Cao hopes that all soldiers in Cao's army can be equipped with such weapons as soon as possible.
If there is a shortage of iron ore, go to Guanzhong to dig.
Even if there is no coal, go digging.
Carloads of coal and iron ore are constantly being transported back.
After listening to the report, Chen Zhou nodded and said: "You have done a good job, but you have to send me a batch of weapons. The Tiger Soldiers guarding the door need some useful equipment."
After the Chen Dao assassination incident, the Cao family's security force on Chen Zhou was greatly strengthened.
More than a hundred tiger soldiers guarded outside Chen's house day and night.
If Chen Zhou wants to leave the city, Dian Wei must follow him.
Only by updating their equipment can Chen Zhou feel more secure.
"no problem!"
Cao Ang nodded and said, "I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow."
Chen Zhou asked again: "Where is my pig?"
"The pig is fine now."
Cao Ang added: "They have learned how to raise pigs. According to Mr.'s plan, they will be able to eat pork next year. But those pigs are really amazing. They are no longer as irritable as wild boars, nor do they walk around. You can eat in peace and gain weight.”
As for why this is the case, Cao Ang thinks it is a matter of sterilization.
He couldn't figure out the reason why wild boars could calm down after being sterilized.
In fact, Chen Zhou didn't quite understand the reason. He just saw similar content before traveling through time. He knew it would be like this, so he acted based on what he saw before traveling through time. That's all.
"That's good!"
Chen Zhou said: "Everything over there depends entirely on the young master. You also know that I am lazy."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Sir, he likes to lie down. Now I don't even dare to ask him for lectures."
It seems that after coming out of prison, Chen Zhou didn't give much lectures to Cao Ang.
I usually go to war.
After going on an expedition, it would take several months to return.
Where is the time for lectures?
Chen Zhou said: "Let's talk about it when we have time in the future."
Put these thoughts aside for now.
The forging side can be stable. If they fight Yuan Shao next year, they have a better chance of winning.
Cao Ang reported once and left quickly.
But in the evening, Cao Ang came again, saying that Cao Cao had summoned Chen Zhou to come over to discuss other matters.
Chen Zhou had no choice but to go to Cao's house. When he walked into the meeting hall, he was still the last to arrive.
Cao Cao was already waiting, but he did not blame Chen Zhou for being late at all. He smiled and said: "Du Zhi is here. Please sit down. Today we will discuss how to fight Yuan Shao if we fight him."
"Yuan Shao is a giant and difficult to fight!"
Xun Yu first said: "If we really want to fight Yuan Shao, we can only fight quickly. We can't delay like the attack on Xiapi. We can only fight quickly."
Xun You agreed: "My uncle is right. Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals, so it is not suitable to fight with him for a long time. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to Yuan Shao, and it will easily bring us down."
In terms of background, the Cao family is far inferior to the Yuan family.
"What do you think?"
Cao Cao asked.
Chen Zhou said: "Lengthen the front line and lure the enemy deeper. If Yuan Shao wants to fight us, he must cross the river. Once blocked by the Yellow River, Yuan Shao will have a lot of inconvenience. Only by lengthening the front line and letting it go deep into northern Yuzhou can we have a chance to counterattack." .”
Chen Qun asked: "What if Yuan Shao decides to fight us?"
"Will not."
Chen Zhou smiled, looked at Cao Cao, and asked: "My lord grew up with Yuan Shao, so he should know Yuan Shao's character very well. He loves success, has big ambitions but little intelligence, is fierce but timid."
"Of course!"
After hearing Chen Zhou's evaluation of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao found it very consistent with the Yuan Shao he knew, and said: "With Yuan Shao's proud character, the Yuan family's accumulation, and strong military strength, if they can attack by force, they will never be consumed by us, well... …”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt an explosion-like pain in his head, and he let out a painful "hiss"...
