When he said this, Cao Wuneng felt Diao Chan's hand touching his leg move slightly.
Obviously everyone in the carriage was worried that Cao Wu's words would anger Zhong Yao.
The Sili Xiaowei was named Xiaowei, and he was actually the governor and governor of Sili Prefecture. He was one of the three independent governors. Before the capital was moved, he had as much power as Shangshu Ling. Because Luoyang returned to Henan Yin and Chang'an returned to Henan Province, Jingzhao Yin is one of the seven counties of Sili, and both Jingjing and Jingzhao are under the supervision of the captain of Sili.
When Cao Wu first arrived in this era, he compared Sili Xiaowei to a certain province in the future that would be able to govern Shanghai and Beijing at the same time. From this, we can imagine how powerful the provincial chief officer must be.
Hanoi County is also one of the seven counties under Si Li.
Zhong Yao himself was from Yingchuan. He was favored by Sima Jun, the prefect of Yingchuan, Sima Yi's grandfather. He also served as the Sili school captain for many years, so he was bound to have good relations with the largest family in Hanoi.
There are many twists and turns in this. Zhong Yao said that he begged for mercy and interceded for Sima Yi. To him, it was the right thing to do.
However, Cao Wu immediately rejected his plea, which was actually very humiliating for this important minister in the court.
Zhong Yao smiled and said: "The battle in the temple is about power and the people who can help speak. The Sima of Hanoi is not weak."
"Other than my brothers, Xiahou Yuanrang, Xiahou Miaocai, Cao Zixiao, Cao Zilian, Cao Zihe, they only listen to me."
"this……"
Zhong Yao was stunned. He didn't expect Cao Wu to speak so directly.
After all, Cao Cao has the final say in this era. Rank and salary do not determine the power, but the closeness to Cao Cao.
The five people Cao Wu mentioned were all Cao Cao's most trusted generals. He said that these five people only listened to him, which meant that military power was firmly in his hands.
If Cao Wu said this before the Battle of Chibi, Zhong Yao would not believe it, because the reputation of General Beifu was not prominent, but it would be different after the Battle of Chibi. Many people had witnessed Cao Wu's performance on the southern battlefield. At that time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, there was no leakage, but now there is no need to hide it. Important ministers like Zhong Yao have known about it for a long time.
Therefore, after the first battle, the reputation of General Beifu became more and more prosperous.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yao took a step back decisively and saluted: "I also ask General Beifu to stay behind for the Sima family in Hanoi."
Cao Wu smiled and said: "Sima Fang, Yin of Jingzhao, secretly raised the dead soldiers and rebelled against superiors. He has already rebelled."
"What?"
Zhong Yao's information was not as well informed as Cao Wu's, and he was stunned for a moment.
"The third assistant is under Sili's rule. One day, he will have to come back. I will take action. Ma Chao belongs to me, and the third assistant belongs to you."
Cao Wu said this and the carriage continued to move forward.
The old servant in front of Xun Yu's house was arguing with the servants of the three masters. Suddenly, the four of them heard the sound of the carriage, stopped talking at the same time, and looked this way.
The mouths of the four people immediately opened wide, and they saw Zhong Yao, Wang Si, and Xi Lu, the three two thousand stone high-ranking officials, all stunned on the spot.
These three high-ranking officials, whose stomping of feet could make an entire state tremble, were first refused entry, and then were impressed by a few words from a young general.
The so-called seventh-grade officials of the prime minister's family servants, these four old servants are all knowledgeable people. They have never seen such people. Even Cao Cao would respect their master, but Cao Cao is no different.
As the car moved forward, the three officials bowed in admiration.
The sunlight shone on Cao Wu's carriage, stretching the shadow far away. The shadow filled the long corridor between the Chancellor's Desk and Xun Yu's mansion.
The carriage faced the direction of the sun and arrived in front of Xun Yu's mansion.
Only then did the old servants of the Xun Yu family wake up. They all said that General Beifu was arrogant and domineering. Now it seems that this man is not only domineering, he is simply arrogant. This is the residence of Shangshu Ling. There are two thousand stones in the way. The one-armed driver The coachman rushed over like this.
If Zhang Xia hadn't reined in his horse, the old servant even doubted that General Beifu's carriage would have broken into Beifu directly like this.
At this moment, the door of Xun Yu's mansion opened.
The middle-aged scholar stood at the door with a warm smile.
Wang Zuozhicai, the forty-five-year-old Cao Cao's first civil servant, Long Live Tinghou, Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who has been in charge of Shangshutai for thirteen years.
He patted his sleeves and bowed to the carriage.
"Wen Ruo, on behalf of the world, would like to thank General Beifu and congratulate General Beifu on his class."
Not for the people, not for the aristocratic family, not for the Ming Dynasty, but for the world.
Next, while the four old servants were stunned, Cao Wu got out of the car and came to Xun Yu. Instead of returning the courtesy, he put his arms around and started joking with Xun Yu.
Not only the old servant, but Zhong Yao and the other three were also shocked.
When had they seen Xun Lingjun like this? When had he, who controlled the eight northern states, ever joked like this with others?
What kind of charm does this Cao Wu have? The three of them began to re-evaluate what Cao Wu and themselves had said.
…
Cao Wu stayed in Xun Yu's house for two full hours.
He introduced Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu already knew Zhuge Liang's performance on the battlefield at Chibi, so when Cao Wu asked Zhuge Liang to study more internal affairs with Xun Yu, Xun Yu sincerely refused. He only had a few words with Zhuge Liang and concluded that the name Wolong was actually well-deserved.
However, Lu Xun was not well-known in Jiangdong.
In the history of Cao Wu's experience, before the Battle of Yiling, Lu Meng died suddenly, and Lu Xun came to power temporarily. All forces despised him, but unexpectedly he burned down the company for 700 miles, buried the middle-level generals of Ji Han, and cut off the The foundation of Ji Han's progress in the world, and Lu Xun's lament that "the long sky is inferior to me" was the source.
However, only Cao Wu and Zhou Yu discovered this piece of jade. Cao Wu brought it to Xun Yu. Xun Yu also chatted with him for a few words and then fell silent.
Lu Xun was not like Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had already met the more powerful Cao Cao and was somewhat practiced. Lu Xun was a little nervous in front of Xun Yu, who was famous all over the world. He thought Xun Lingjun did not think highly of him.
After a long while, Xun Yu smiled and said: "General, you can open your mansion now. With these two kings, we are invincible in the world."
Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun immediately cheered up, and Diao Chan was also surprised on the spot. The four-character comment "invincible in the world" was too strong. Others said it might be flattery or a joke, but Xun Yu didn't need to flatter anyone except Cao Cao.
Only Cao Wu understood that Xun Yu was not lying. He gathered the ministers from Wei Er Biography just to be invincible in the world.
Xun Yu was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan. He cared about and sympathized with the people, but did not stand on the same front as the people. He was born into a noble family, but he transcended it. What he focuses on is the world, the human world, and his vision is the entire world. When he says he is invincible, he means he is truly invincible.
In the following time, no one said anything practical. Basically, Cao Wu was talking about his experience going south, while Diao Chan and Zhuge Liang were supplementing. There were twists and turns, and Xun Yu listened with interest. It was also the first time that Lu Xun knew that Cao Wu had made so many calculations in order to win this battle.
They also told some anecdotes, and Xun Lingjun's witty remarks made every comment relevant to the current situation, which enhanced the trust of the four people.
Xun Yu spoke like a humble gentleman, making everyone unaware that time was passing. When it got dark, Cao Wu looked at the sky before preparing to leave.
From beginning to end, Cao Wu never mentioned what he was going to do today, and Xun Yu didn't ask, as if he was just here to visit an old friend.
Xun Yu didn't explain why he was sick, and Cao Wu didn't ask either, as if what happened in Taichung had nothing to do with them.
The four of them left the house and came to the carriage again.
The three men with two thousand stones were still waiting outside the mansion. There was a torch in front of the carriage, and there was silence in the carriage, waiting for Cao Wu's carriage to leave.
Before getting in the car, Diao Chan whispered to Cao Wudao: "Why does your body smell so good?"
"Liuxiang Xunling, you are different. Are you even jealous?"
Cao Wu patted her lightly, and Diao Chan frowned and glanced at her before getting in the car first.
Zhuge Liang glanced at the long corridor leading to the Chancellor's Desk and sighed: "Mencius said that in five hundred years a king will rise, and during this period there must be someone who will lead the world. Now it seems that it must be Xun Lingjun."
Everyone got on the bus one by one, but Cao Wu didn't comment any more.
He closed his eyes in the car and thought of the names recommended by Xun Yu.
Xun You, Zhong Yao, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Yan Xiang, Du Xi, Du Ji, Wei Kang...
As clear as ice, as clear as jade, lawful but not intimidating, harmonious but not obscene, the country's most respected ministers, morally friendly to China.
After Cao Cao returned from victory, the general situation of the world was decided. Xun Lingjun claimed that he was ill. Is it really because he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole?
Maybe, because he wanted to see who was ready to persuade him to join.
Cao Wu closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
pity.
It's a pity, because after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Wu was no longer afraid of the power of history, and he always wanted to do something to change the established ending.
