"Sir, this move is a surprise, and it is a wonderful move to win over the enemy." Gao Shun's face is dark, his body is strong and agile, and he is the kind of person who looks very serious at first sight. No matter what you say when you talk to him, He seemed to be thinking carefully about the content and answering carefully.
It's the same when talking about it now, so Zhang Han feels more comfortable listening to it.
Dian Wei's face collapsed and he felt bad, "Okay, just get used to him. Once his reputation spreads in the future, he will become famous. When people ask, what is Zhang Bochang best at!? They all say Sneak attack!"
"Tsk, so the credit for defeating Lu Bu is yours!" Zhang Han said matter-of-factly, and put the spear on the weapon rack.
Dian Wei felt relaxed and content when he heard this. Thinking of this, he felt that he had been more comfortable speaking and doing things recently. He actually gave up his famous achievements such as defeating Lu Bu. He was not surprised at all. He even raised his hand to Gao Shun. , said: "You are right!"
"It's a surprise move, it's a great move!" Dian Wei also changed his mind, and after thinking for a while, he added: "It's very powerful."
Zhang Han nodded with satisfaction.
Although he is just a beginner in the martial arts, he has already mastered the method of exerting force, which can be used in any martial arts in the future. This strength is easy to use.
In the evening, another celebration banquet was held in Xiapi City, and Zhang Han was invited to drink.
He thought about it since he had given up drinking for more than a day, and it was difficult for himself. He decided to reward himself, so he went.
A night of drinking and having fun, listening to music, watching dances, and talking about ambitions.
Feeling guilty and drunk, Zhang Han went home after drinking and got up early as usual the next day to discuss matters with Dian Wei.
It had rained continuously in the past few days, and as autumn approached, the climate changed somewhat. Cao Cao came back from the fields and was scraping the mud under his feet at the gate. He saw Zhang Han and Dian Wei approaching on horseback, and waved to them from a distance to come closer.
Zhang Han followed the instructions and handed down his hand. Cao Cao said softly: "This morning, I went out of the city to see the outside of Tan City. Three rivers flowed through the banks. If the surrounding earthen slopes and river embankments were dug up, the flood would flood Tan City. Once this happens, we can take down this city without any effort.”
Cao Cao patted the upper of his shoes as he spoke, smacked his lips, raised his head, stared at Zhang Han and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Tancheng has always been an important town, with a lot of supplies and supplies. Most of the officials' wives and families are in the city. Once the city is flooded, there will be countless casualties and farmland and houses will be destroyed. Repairs in the future will also consume energy and financial resources. But the good thing about this plan is that our army will not suffer losses. If you are big, you just need to sit back and wait for the natural disasters to sweep through, and make good use of the power of heaven. Well, this plan will equal half the profits and losses, so it can be called the middle strategy."
Zhang Han followed the example of other counselors and put one hand behind his back, looked straight ahead, and nodded in an old-fashioned way.
Cao Cao frowned and cursed: "Should I ask you to comment? I'm asking you whether this plan is feasible?"
Zhang Han asked in a low voice: "Then do I say it's okay, or it's okay not to..."
"Get out of here!" Cao Cao hit him on the shoulder angrily and rubbed the pain himself.
Then it became clear that Zhang Handing didn't want to say anything and was pretending to be dumbfounded. He and Cheng Yu were good at this. Whenever they encountered similar strategies, they would either agree or say nothing.
But it is easy to tell that once they start to hesitate, they feel that this plan is not feasible.
"Go in."
Cao Cao walked in with his hands behind his back, and asked Xi Zhicai the same question again in the main hall. Xi Zhicai's face was stern, and after thinking for a long time, he said bluntly: "This plan is not possible."
"I second the motion!"
Sure enough, Zhang Han quickly agreed. This guy is really cunning and will not rely on the wind on his own.
"The city has a prosperous population, a lot of luggage, and many families have in-laws in it," Xi Zhicai sighed: "My lord, why are these gentry and wealthy families so attentive and courteous to welcome my lord in Xiapi? In fact, their families and property are in Tancheng. It's also related, Tancheng is not a border city, so if we attack it with this plan, it will be extremely difficult to repair it in the future."
"If my lord wants to place the government in Xuzhou City, or in Xiapi, Tan City still cannot be destroyed. This place is the hub of the criss-crossing."
After hearing this, Cao Cao fell into deep thought. It was common for wars to destroy cities, fields, and people's homes. In the past, he never paid much attention to it and only focused on victory or defeat.
Nowadays, the combination of benevolence, justice, power and virtue cannot be ignored, and the life and death of the people must be taken into consideration.
Cao Cao was more worried than before. It must be said that this was Zhang Han's fault and the result of his repeated efforts to advocate benevolence and righteousness. However, the disadvantage of practicing benevolence and righteousness was here. He was tied up and could not let go.
This plan won't work.
"If we try to persuade him to surrender again, why won't Cheng Lian surrender? He insists so much." Cao Cao was confused.
The envoy who went to persuade Cao to surrender yesterday came back and said that Cheng Lian was angry at Lu Bu's death and refused to surrender. He was about to lead the five thousand soldiers in the city to fight to the death with Cao's army.
Xi Zhicai pondered for a long time and said: "Xu is a person who is truly loyal to Lu Bu, otherwise he would not be entrusted with the important task of guarding Tan City. A loyal person knows that his master is dead, and he will be sad and angry even thinking about it, so he will defend to the end."
"Besieging the city is the best strategy. If we have to forcefully dig the walls and embankments, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive for us to repair them ourselves in the future. After all, Xuzhou is already within our grasp," Xi Zhicai smiled easily. got up.
He wanted to advise Cao Cao not to be too hasty. At this time, the situation in Xuzhou had been stabilized, and the remaining small city of Tan could not make any waves.
"Well, what Zhicai said is absolutely true," Cao Cao said calmly, no longer thinking about it. After dinner in the evening and most of the official business was done, some rural gentry and a centenarian old man sent Cao Cao the Book of Ten Thousand People. .
Ask him to serve as the governor of Xuzhou.
But he was already the shepherd of Yanzhou, and it was no longer possible for him to serve as the governor of Xuzhou. The smiling Cao Cao sprinkled three glasses of wine on the ground to commemorate the heaven and earth, the heroes of the soldiers, and the people who died in the war.
Then he accepted the Book of All Peoples. This was his second Book of All Peoples, which represented the people's support. During this period, Liu Bei was so greedy that he kept looking at it, but he had no choice but to scratch his head. The second brother and the third brother laughed at each other and said, "Meng." Virtue is hard to come by in this world." But he always remembers that he left Mengde because he was unkind in his heart. Why has he changed so much now?
evening.
Zhang Han quit drinking for half a day and decided to reward himself, so he and Xi Zhicai met at his mansion, brought in fine wine, killed chickens and cooked soup for them to eat. The prepared wine and meat were enough to chat for another night.
The Foot Washing City hasn't opened yet, so this is one of Zhang Han's few nighttime activities.
As night fell, everyone who was about to sit down and eat was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Ji Boxiao strode in and hurriedly said: "Sir! Offer wine! The Lord asked you to go to the government office immediately. He said that the turning point is coming!"
"Ah!? Working overtime!?" Zhang Han complained endlessly, why can't I escape this fate even though I've traveled through time? I even changed my pants, how annoying you are.
Zhang Han has had a problem since he was a child. Before he changes his pants and washes his feet, he will go out to eat if anyone asks him to. Once he soaks his feet and changes into pajamas, he will never go out again.
But they couldn't complain, so he and Xi Zhi stared at each other for a while, then hurriedly left for the government office.
As soon as he arrived, Cao Cao immediately laughed and faced everyone, holding a silk letter in his hand. It was a letter sent by Bao Xin from Jibei. Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Bo Chang, Bo Chang!! Thank you for saving me in the first place!" Please forgive me, otherwise I wouldn’t have such wise people to help me!”
"Yes," Zhang Han nodded without blushing. Since the lord has already said so, there is no need to admit it with any psychological burden.
However, the letter that came today, the credit can actually be attributed to myself. This is a manifestation of luck, which manifests as luck.
Of course, it's also possible that your charm is strong enough.
"What on earth is going on?"
Xi Zhicai interrupted and asked. He wanted to discuss the matter quickly and wait for the lord to make a decision.
"Yuncheng wrote a letter saying that his subordinate Chang Xi was an old acquaintance of Zang Ba's second brother, and they fell in love with each other. Yuncheng and Zang Ba were also well-known to each other, and they had been at odds for half a year. Now that the war has stopped, Zang Ba is willing to surrender. The only condition he offers is to be stationed at Mount Tai."
"What he wants is to be able to sit in the Taishan Mansion when entering, and to escape into Mount Tai when retreating. This is the nature of a thief and a bandit, and he is unwilling to entrust his life to his master."
"I have sent someone to send a message asking Zang Ba to leave Kaiyang and return to Mount Tai. I will provide him with 30,000 hu of grain, 500 pigs, and 500 sheep, and declare him the Prince of Mount Tai."
"This is indeed good news."
Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, then nodded to Cao Cao one after another, cupped their hands and said: "Congratulations, my lord, if this happens, Tancheng will surely surrender."
After saying that, the two of them planned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Cao Cao frowned, with a troubled expression on his face, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Lord, do you still have something to discuss?" Zhang Han came closer and asked.
"No, but..." Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Han and Xi Zhicai handed over their hands again: "Then we will leave first."
"Wait a minute..." Cao Cao didn't know why. He really had nothing to do. He just informed them of the current situation and lamented Zhang Han's achievements, but... he simply didn't want them to leave.
"Well, actually there is something else I want to ask you two for your opinion."
They both let out a long sigh at the same time.
If there is really nothing I can do against you, Zhang Hanxin said, then I will chat with you for another ten gold coins.
The two of them sat on the Wuzi, close to Cao Cao's couch. At this time, Cao Cao didn't talk about Confucian etiquette. After all, everyone sitting here was a rough man, and they were all not good-looking.
He leaned on the armrest of the couch, stood up with his knees bent, took a deep breath and sighed, "You two, the war in Xuzhou is over, and the officials of Xuzhou will be appointed next. What do you think?"
Xi Zhicai fell into silence. He never participated in such things. He only recommended suitable talents when he met them, such as Zhang Han.
Wen Ruolai should have discussed this kind of matter with his lord, but now Xun Yu was taking care of his lord's rear in Yanzhou like a head wife.
Only then can the current war ahead be in order, with no shortage of food and grass, and sufficient military supplies.
But when it comes to this, Zhang Han has something to say. Being able to offer advice and suggestions to help Xuzhou settle down and gradually prosper is not a great achievement!
Elevate Cun Jin to the realm of transformation as soon as possible, and teach the whole camp to learn Cun Jin's five steps and thirteen spears to poke the feet. Maybe it will be passed down to future generations and Zhou Tong can create some new spear skills!
"I think it is enough for the people of Xuzhou to govern the people of Xuzhou. At the beginning, Tao Qian was not able to truly capture the whole of Xuzhou, and his relationship with the family was just mutual dependence. Now I think it should be the same, with Chen Gui as the county governor and Chen Deng as the governor. General Diannong Zhonglang is responsible for internal governance. The other officials can be elected by them. At the same time, he orders the generals to lead troops to station in Xuzhou. They station troops in many counties and counties to take care of each other. The most important thing is that, except for the internal affairs ministers, all the people in the government Advisers and retainers recruit common people.”
"The people of Xuzhou govern the people of Xuzhou..." Cao Cao pondered for a long time and nodded silently. It is a method, but he must control the Xuzhou family to be worry-free. "You also need one person to be the governor of Xuzhou before you can rule."
Zhang Han thought for a while and said firmly: "Xiang Bao, he is guarding Xuzhou, across the river from Yanzhou. He and the Lord are peers in Paoze. They were both under the command of General He Jin. Moreover, you can save his life." Isn’t it just right to be so kind?”
"Humph," Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Han and said in his heart that you should be the one who can save his life, and I just gave the order.
Um? ! Did this kid just want to lead to this proposal with what he just said?
He wants Yuncheng to claim Xuzhou? !
Although Yuncheng was in Jibei and always fighting in the northern frontier of Yanzhou, he always paid close attention to Bo Chang. He always sent letters to ask about it, and even thought of sending rare treasures to Zhang Han, but Cao Cao kept them secretly. I'll give it to him after the war is over.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao touched the rich, slightly messy and curly beard on his chin, and quietly looked at Zhang Han, but he was still bowing and could not see his face.
Boy, if you make any mistakes or get into trouble in the future, apart from me, Yuncheng can save your life.
stop.
The corner of Cao Cao's mouth raised, his face suddenly relaxed, and he said: "Okay, in that case, I will discuss this matter with Yuncheng after we capture Tancheng."
"Okay, okay, is everything okay?"
"Sit down!" Cao Cao suddenly glared, looked at Xi Zhicai a little accusingly, and said, "Zhicai, did Bo Chang learn how to drink from you?"
Xi Zhicai: "..."
It means I led him astray! ? Huh, guess what? Even I can't drink him.
"Yes, I will definitely restrain Bo Chang from tomorrow..." Xi Zhicai gave Zhang Han a sharp look.
"I have one more thing, I want to ask you two what you think," Cao Cao sighed and moved comfortably.
In fact, this was the question he wanted to ask the most.
"The war in Xuzhou is over, how do you think Liu Bei will be settled?"
"If I recruit him to my side, he may not be willing to return. Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions; but if I expel him, he has just made great achievements for me, and I may not be able to convince everyone."
The two of them looked at each other and did not answer this question first. The scene suddenly became cold and quiet.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time and then said: "Then let me change the question. What kind of person do you think Liu Bei is?"
This question is easier to answer than the previous one, because there is no need to state the position too straightforwardly, so Xi Zhicai directly handed over his hand and said: "A great hypocrite seems to be true, and a great traitor seems to be loyal. He pretends to be kind, but in fact he has great ambitions. This These people will not be willing to be inferior to others, and should...if given the opportunity, they may become the hero of the party."
"Well, what about Bo Chang? What do you think?"
I can't see it, I can't see it, Zhang Han was confused, it was difficult for him to answer this question.
If we talk about his past life, he liked Uncle Huang when he was a child, but when he grows up, he will prefer Cao's insistence.
He still remembers asking a question: Which of the following characters was not from the Three Kingdoms period?
Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao... many familiar names appear in it. At first glance, they seem to be everyone.
But the correct answer is Cao Cao, because he was a figure in the late Han Dynasty.
Zhang Han remembered that when people in previous lives yearned for the heroes of this era, they were divided into various groups because they all held their own opinions.
There are Guo Chui, Liu Chui, and Zhuge Chui. These Chui Chui argue with each other and criticize each other, but what they have in common is that they all spontaneously despise Sun Shiwan.
Zhang Han likes most of them, but in terms of bragging, he likes Cao Chui the most and also likes to watch Cao Chui.
Thinking of this, I still miss it a little bit.
I haven't had much contact with Liu Bei when I traveled back in time. I only met him a few times, but I heard he was a very charming person.
Of course, many people clearly stated that Liu Bei pretended to be benevolent and righteous in order to gain dominance.
Zhang Han thought for a while, then raised his hand and said: "I believe that Liu Bei is like a mirror. The person who looks in the mirror is good or evil, and what he sees is good or evil."
"Yeah!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He liked this answer very much and immediately said, "Then I think Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous man. Otherwise, how could there be those heroes following him?"
Xi Zhicai: "???"
Damn it, are you going to scold me again? ! Xi Zhicai suddenly felt uncomfortable. He knew you had said it first.
I said, what are you doing so quickly...
I'll write another chapter later, I'll post it at midnight, I'm so hardworking...Oh, I'm touched by myself.
(End of chapter)
