Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 155 Competition (today's last chapter)
"The key is how to provoke..."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "In the end, this is just a small conflict within Cao Cao's forces. Judging from Youzhou's consistent actions, he doesn't have too much ambition. I'm afraid it's not easy to provoke."

"Sir, I have thought of a way."

"any solution?"

"Although the governor of Youzhou is Li Bai, the decision maker is Li Bai's teacher Zhao Ruixiang."

"If we can assassinate Zhao Ruixiang, and then blame Cao Cao's subordinates, it will definitely cause conflicts between the Department of Neo-Confucianism in Youzhou and Cao Cao, and it will probably break Youzhou and Cao Cao."

"If that time comes, Cao Cao will no longer be able to care about the south. We just need to take the opportunity to "invite" more Neo-Confucian students to Jingzhou for development. I believe that in a few years, we may be able to compete with Cao Cao in the north." The man finally said said.

"Assassinate Zhao Ruixiang?" Hearing what the man said, Zhuge Liang frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You are thinking too simply. Even if we assassinate Zhao Ruixiang, Youzhou will not be able to turn against Cao Cao. The most likely thing is to let Cao Cao kill some scapegoats."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Besides, Zhao Ruixiang has many people protecting him, and it is very difficult to assassinate him. If the news leaks out, I am afraid that we will all become sinners. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely not accept it in order to win over the Neo Confucianism. Our surrender is an injustice to our lord."

Zhuge Liang directly rejected the proposal to assassinate Zhao Ruixiang.

Zhuge Liang didn't know that Zhang Qingfeng, as the highest authority in the Neo Confucianism Department of Youzhou, was surrounded by a group of guards to protect them at all times. These people were all trained by Zhang Qingfeng to receive professional protection after the appearance of firearms. Others who wanted to assassinate were killed They protect Zhang Qingfeng, unless they are mobilizing troops.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang rejected the proposal to assassinate Zhao Ruixiang, the people opposite Zhuge Liang suddenly fell silent. However, no one noticed that his eyes were full of firmness and determination.

Just as Zhuge Liang was talking to his subordinates, the train departing from Luping had already arrived in Jicheng.

The train moved from Yuyang City at ten o'clock at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour, and it took less than two hours to arrive at Jicheng Railway Station.

At this time, Jicheng Railway Station was also crowded with people.

On the platform, countless people are waiting here.

Headed by Li Bai, governor of Youzhou, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers of the court, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Chen Lin and other court ministers, as well as some powerful family members.

As the first train opened in Youzhou, these people will naturally not miss it.

The train stopped in Jicheng for half an hour, and at this stop, all the remaining carriages were packed.

"Teacher, mistress, are you in good health?"

After learning that Zhang Qingfeng was in the car, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi immediately came to greet him.

Both of them married Zhang Qingfeng's students, so it is correct to call them teachers.

At this time, both of them brought their wives with them, Liu Rushi sat beside Cao Pi, and Chen Yuanyuan sat beside Cao Zhi.

Liu Rushi is holding a child, which is the first child of him and Cao Pi.

On the other side, Chen Yuanyuan, like Zhang Qingfeng's wife Cai Wenji, has a big belly.

In Youzhou, the status of women is not low. The train is opened, and everyone takes their wives and children to experience the train, and no one will make irresponsible remarks.

It's just that some old antiques with strict etiquette may sigh: the world is declining and people's hearts are not old.

However, this is Youzhou, where Zhang Qingfeng's Department of Confucianism thrives, and those who don't like it can only endure it.

----

Half an hour later, the train started again, and then slowly left Jicheng Railway Station.

On the next journey, Zhang Qingfeng met Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Lin and others.

Although these people had some conflicts with Zhang Qingfeng at ordinary times, when they sat face to face, they seemed to be very happy.

Xun You even talked and laughed with Zhang Qingfeng, people who didn't know it thought they had a good relationship.

It's just that Xun Yu has always been cold-faced towards Zhang Qingfeng. Since Zhang Qingfeng openly supported Cao Cao's proclaiming emperor, the relationship between the two has broken down, and they will never go back to the time when they talked and laughed a few years ago.

On the contrary, Chen Lin, Jia Xu and others had a good attitude towards Zhang Qingfeng, and they were able to talk and laugh.

Through the communication between these people and Zhang Qingfeng, especially when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both came to him to get close, we can see the status of Zhang Qingfeng in Youzhou at this time.

For Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Zhang Qingfeng has not yet determined who to support, and Cao Cao forbids his civil and military officials to intervene in the competition between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, in view of the lessons learned by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers who led to the demise of the Yuan family.

The way Cao Cao chose to inherit is very simple, that is, let the two brothers compete on their own, and he will choose whoever he likes in the end.

If Zhang Qingfeng supports someone rashly, it may not only not play a decisive role, but may even cause counterproductive effects. Compared with Zhang Qingfeng, he is not representing him alone, but the entire Confucianism department.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi didn't say anything about Zhang Qingfeng's attitude, because they knew what Zhang Qingfeng said to Cao Cao last time.

A few months ago, Zhang Qingfeng suggested to Cao Cao that no matter who succeeded Cao Cao, he suggested that Cao Cao entrust his other sons to develop overseas.

After this incident, both Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had the idea of ​​going overseas to develop if they could not compete with each other.

They all thought that maybe many years later, their descendants would be as powerful as Qi Chu Qin and other princes enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty.

If it was changed to before, those who lose the competition will definitely be suppressed by the winners, and they will never have a good life.

Historically, after Cao Pi became emperor, he suppressed Cao Zhi and a group of people who supported Cao Zhi. At the beginning, Cao Pi even wanted to kill Cao Zhi.

And if Cao Zhi succeeds to the throne, he will never give up suppressing Cao Pi and those who support Cao Pi.

But now, if they fail and still go overseas to dominate, this is undoubtedly much better than staying in the Central Plains and being squeezed out by their brothers. They can also work hard for a better future for their descendants.

Since Cao Pi and Cao Zhi found out about this incident, the conflict between the two sides has eased a lot. From the fierce competition of unscrupulous means at the beginning, it has developed into a gentle dispute between gentlemen now.

In the past few months, the two have begun to pay more attention to the shipbuilding industry and overseas exploration.

Currently, places that have been discovered in Youzhou include Sanhan, Fusang Island, and the Ryukyu Islands.

The two of them even coincidentally have set their sights on this side.

Of course, there are still many places where the Youzhou fleet has not been ascertained, but they all believe that overseas must be more than that big.

While a group of people were chatting on the train and looking at the scenery outside the window, the train departed from Luping, and arrived at the terminal - Quanzhou City after only a few hours.

At this time in Quanzhou City, countless people from Youzhou also came to watch the train. When they saw the train coming, like the people in other places, they also burst into loud cheers.

"Everyone, since we have arrived in Quanzhou City, how about you all follow me to the Quanzhou Shipyard to see the largest ship in the world?"
