"I'm busy with official business and have never looked for him."
Cao Ang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"No matter how busy you are with official work, your body belongs to you. You should go to Mr. Zhongjing in the next few days and ask him to take a look at it."
Yang Ling spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"Brother-in-law, won't your conscience hurt when you say such things?"
Cao Ang sighed quietly,
"The official business I am responsible for was not delegated to me by you?"
Speaking of this, Yang Ling felt a little ashamed.
The position of General Wu Guanzhonglang is actually the deputy of the prime minister, mainly to share the pressure of government affairs for Cao Cao.
It's just that Yang Ling has a lazy personality. Although he holds this position, he spends three days fishing and two days drying nets.
As a result, Cao Ang, his student, had to take over his responsibilities.
After defeating Yuan Shao, the government became even busier, and Cao Ang completely forgot about going to see Zhang Zhongjing for medical treatment.
Yang Ling touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, a servant knocked on the door and walked in.
"Report to the Prime Minister, Mr. Xu Ziyuan asks for an audience."
Cao Cao was startled, then nodded and said,
"Let him in."
After a while, Xu You walked in under the guidance of the servant.
"Ziyuan came to visit today. What's the matter?"
Cao Cao smiled.
"Ah, what you said, does it mean that I can't come if I have nothing to do?"
Xu You smiled and sat down without waiting for Cao Cao to speak.
Cao Cao's expression did not change, but a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
This scene happened to catch Yang Ling's eyes, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Although this Xu You is very talented, his emotional intelligence cannot be complimented.
Even if you and Boss Cao grew up wearing crotchless pants, we have a deep friendship.
But you also don’t want to think about it, what is Boss Cao’s status now?
That is to control the government and have power over the world!
Talking about a lie and acting so wildly, you really think it's when you two were young.
No wonder he was chopped down by Xu Chu. He really lacked political acumen.
"Of course, as far as our friendship is concerned, if you want to come, just come."
Cao Cao didn't get angry and smiled pleasantly.
Xu You chuckled and whispered,
"I have a good strategy in mind, and I will definitely provide you with what you need!"
"I wonder what the plan is?"
"I have a plan to help you take Jizhou!"
"Please Ziyuan please make it clear."
With Yang Ling's strategy, Cao Cao was already sure to deal with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.
Therefore, he was not particularly excited after hearing Xu You's words.
Xu You frowned slightly, but still smiled and said,
"Based on my understanding of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, although they are brothers, they actually have a bad relationship."
"Even though they haven't taken action now, privately they are already full of gunpowder."
"Ah Man, you can use the name of the court to let Yuan Tan inherit everything Yuan Shao has."
"In this case, they will definitely fight against each other. At that time, Ah Man, you will be able to reap the benefits and successfully capture Jizhou!"
He originally thought that Cao Cao would be overjoyed after hearing his remarks.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao and Cao Ang looked at him strangely.
"Does Ah Man think it's inappropriate?"
Xu You frowned and said doubtfully.
"It's not inappropriate, it's just this plan... Ziyi has already offered it just now."
Cao Cao explained.
"What? How is this possible?"
Xu You stood up suddenly and looked at Yang Ling beside him in surprise.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Cao Ang handed him the edict he had just drafted.
"Mr. Ziyuan, please take a look."
Xu You glanced carefully, looking quite embarrassed.
After following Cao Cao back to Xudu, Xu You, who had not made any great achievements, did not receive any rewards and only held a moderate position in the court.
This makes him, who prides himself on being a good man, quite unconvinced.
After learning about the stalemate between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Xu You came up with a plan and hurried to find Cao Cao.
But he didn't expect that Yang Ling was ahead of him and offered Cao Cao the same strategy as him!
"Zi Yuan is also serious. I will ask the emperor to reward you later."
Cao Cao smiled and reassured.
"This is still free."
Even if Xu You offered advice after Yang Ling, he would be rewarded, it would not be much richer.
He waved his hands angrily, glanced at Yang Ling, and said sourly,
"Amao does have a good son-in-law!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
After Xu You left, Cao Cao's face instantly darkened.
"Father, Xu Ziyuan is capable, but he is too arrogant."
Cao Ang said with some annoyance.
Cao Cao has always been thirsty for talents, and he also entrusts talented people with important tasks.
But it's because Xu You is too conceited and has low emotional intelligence.
Cao Cao disliked him a little, but out of affection, he could only arrange a position at will.
It's just that Xu You didn't notice it at all, and he came to the door to offer advice today.
Yang Ling took note of Cao Cao's performance, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
…
Liyang.
Yuan Tan's mansion.
"boom!"
There was just a crisp sound, and the tea cup was smashed to pieces.
Yuan Tan, who was still handsome, had a distorted face at this moment and said angrily,
"This bastard Xianfu has gone too far!"
"Master, calm down!"
Guo Tu and others hurriedly tried to persuade him.
After his defeat at the hands of Cao Cao, not only was Yuan Shao so angry that he died, but the situation was also quite unfavorable for the Yuan family.
Zang Ba, Yu Jin and others in the east also took the opportunity to attack Qingzhou.
Yuan Tan had no time to return to rescue, and most of Qingzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands.
Without a base, he could only rely on supplies from Jizhou.
This is also the reason why he did not directly fall out with Yuan Shang.
But in this case, his lifeline was also given to the card owner by Yuan Shang.
Although Yuan Shang did not directly cut off Yuan Tan's food and grass, he still made trouble for three days and two.
For example, the grain and grass shipped today are only two-thirds of those in the past, and they are even mixed with sand and gravel.
How can this not make Yuan Tan angry!
"If I have the chance, I will definitely let this bastard have a taste of my power!"
Yuan Tan said bitterly.
At this moment, a messenger came in,
"Lord, the imperial court has sent a team of envoys, waiting outside the city!"
Hearing this, Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and others were all surprised.
After Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan family and Cao Cao had a deep hatred.
How could they not be surprised that Cao Cao would send an envoy at this juncture?
"No, let them go!"
Yuan Tan waved his hand unceremoniously.
"My lord, don't be anxious! Listen to what I have to say!"
Xun Chen on the side stopped Yuan Tan and said softly,
"Although we have a deep hatred against Cao Cao, he must have deep intentions when he sends people to visit the young master."
"Why don't we meet last time? It's not too late to hear Cao Cao's intentions first."
Compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan is still better able to listen to other people's suggestions.
He pondered for a moment, nodded and said,
"Okay, let them come into the city!"
(Revised the previous article, the four people who defected to Yuan Tan were Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and Xun Chen)
