Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"Chen Buzhi has seen His Majesty."

"Well, sir, I have heard that I need a master book by my side to help me sort out some official documents. You can stay by my side."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Shuo smiled, looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone recommending talents?"

Everyone shook their heads. A talent like Bu Zhi is really hard to come by. Bu Zhi and Kan Ze have a good relationship in private. Otherwise, Kan Ze would have no chance to recommend Bu Zhi.

"Since you don't have one, I have to find it myself."

Everyone was amazed, what does this mean?

Have a problem with them?

However, the talents in Wu County have almost been scooped up by Sun Ce, and it is too difficult to find someone like Bu Zhi.

Gu Yong asked: "How does Your Majesty want to find it?"

"take an exam!"

When Cao Shuo said this, everyone was shocked. It was the first time they had heard that there was still an exam to be qualified...

Some great sages are very arrogant. Even if the county guards and state shepherds invite them, they may not come out of the mountain. If they are allowed to take the exam, they will be even less interested.

"Publish the official document and go out. Ten days later, I will hold a civil and military examination in Haiyan County. No. 1 in the civil examination can be directly appointed as the county magistrate of Haiyan, and No. 1 in the military examination can be appointed as the county captain."

Everyone was horrified, why was the county magistrate ranked first in the literary examination, but could become a captain in the martial arts examination?

Does His Majesty already have a candidate in mind?

The two positions are clearly not equivalent.

However, they did not question Cao Shuo's decision. Since Cao Shuo said so, there must be his reason.

Cao Shuo issued tasks to several great talents one by one, and then returned to the Xingyuan that Gu Yong had prepared for him.

Zhao Yu came to Cao Shuo with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Husband, Mr. Buzhi has sent a gift!"

Gift?

Does he know how to go through the back door?

Aren't you satisfied with being promoted from county magistrate to master book?

However, when Cao Shuo saw the 'gift', he understood Bu Zhi's intention.

"Minnv step trainer, I have met Your Majesty!"

The step trainer looked shy, and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Cao Shuo.

When she was sent here, she knew what was going to happen next. Although being the imperial concubine of Wei State was the dream of many people, it was still unacceptable for a young girl like her who was just in love.

Although Bu Zhi repeatedly explained that he gave himself to Cao Shuo, he didn't mean to ask for a high-ranking official and rich salary, but Cao Shuo didn't think so.

Cao Shuo took a closer look at the step trainer. He is 155cm tall, (·)(·) is already very large, graceful, beautiful and dignified.

Cao Shuo took her little hand and asked, "What's your relationship with Bu Zhi?"

"Bu Zhi is my cousin!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I will send my servants to prepare meals."

Cao Shuo looked at the step trainer and asked, "Can you dance?" '

"meeting!"

Cao Shuo stared at the trainer's supplies in a daze. This man tends to get sleepy when he is idle. He used to go to the battlefield to fight, and he could gallop for a few days when he returned home.

Now that I don't go to the battlefield, I feel sleepy at every turn.

Cao Shuo yawned and said, "My concubine, don't dance, help me to rest!"

Chapter 484 Let Sun Ce Lead an Army of Millions to Siege

At noon the next day, Cao Shuo looked at Himiko and Bu Lianshi in his arms, and said, "Xiao Yu, go and inform Xi Zhicai to let him handle business for a while."

Zhao Yu replied weakly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Master Xi Zhicai sent someone to notify you last night."

"Did I say so?"

Cao Shuo thought about it carefully, and it seems that there is such a thing.

"I'll take a rest, and the three concubines will take turns dancing for me."

On the morning of the third day, Cao Shuo got up early, Gu Yong and Bu Zhi had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.

Seeing Cao Shuo coming out, Gu Yong hurriedly greeted him, "Your Majesty, the tree you asked to find has a clue now. Someone has seen it in Kuaiji Mountain."

Cao Shuo was overjoyed. He didn't expect someone to find it. Before he hit the Guishuang Empire, the padded coats of the soldiers were all gone.

Cao Shuo ordered: "You set aside an area in the south of Kuaiji County to plant this kind of tree, and it will be called kapok tree in the future."

Gu Yong asked puzzledly: "Does Your Majesty not plan to move to Luoyang?"

"Why move to Luoyang? This tree is used for making clothes and bedding, not for appreciation."

"Making clothes and quilts?" Gu Yong and Bu Zhi looked surprised, how do they do this?

Is it necessary to stuff leaves in the bedding?

Thatch is stronger than leaves.

Cao Shuo looked at the puzzled look of the two and explained; "The kapok tree grows a white mass, which can be used for warmth..."

It took Cao Shuo a lot of effort to explain clearly to the two of them.

The two nodded in understanding.

"The kapok tree can also encourage the people to plant it. We must spread the kapok tree in the south as soon as possible."

"promise!"

After Gu Yong and Bu Zhi left, Cao Shuo dispatched five hundred tiger guards and went with Dian Wei to Jia Xu's camp in Jurong.

"Wenhe, how is the battle ahead?"

Jia Xu replied: "General Ji Ling is attacking Jiang Cheng, and it will take less than half a day to take this important town by the Yangtze River."

"General Tai Shici's [-] troops have arrived at Hushu, and they are confronting Sun Ce outside the city."

Cao Shuo smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Sun Ce still hasn't run away? Dian Wei, you go to Taishi Cijun to meet Sun Ce."

"promise!"

As long as Sun Ce dares to go out of the city to fight alone, let him know how stupid he is.

After Huang Zhong left Yangzhou, Sun Ce began to jump up again, thinking that in Yangzhou, no one except Huang Zhong could do anything to him.

Cao Shuo looked at the map in front of Jia Xu and asked, "Where is Wenji's army?"

Jia Xu looked at Xi Zhicai at the side, Wen Ji led an army of [-] deep into the hinterland of Danyang County, and he really couldn't contact him.

However, Xi Zhicai's Jin Yiwei should be able to receive the news.

Xi Zhicai replied: "Wen Ji took Yi County two days ago, and should have taken Lingyang by now, and is heading for Jing County."

Cao Shuo nodded, Wen Ji had He Qi by his side, and Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu followed, so there would be no problems.

All the food and grass of the army traveled by water. On the Zhejiang River, Sun Ce had no chance to rob food.

"How many soldiers are there in the camp?"

Jia Xu replied, "Three thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry!"

Cao Shuo calculated that if he led an army to attack Liyang, he would definitely surprise Sun Ce.

Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, Cao Shuo suddenly asked how many soldiers were left in the camp, they knew what Cao Shuo wanted to do.

Xi Zhicai persuaded: "Your Majesty, the battle in Danyang County can be fought steadily. Liu Biao has already started mobilizing soldiers to attack Yuzhang County from Changsha County. We don't need to take the risk of attacking Sun Ce's rear."

Cao Shuo looked surprised, Liu Biao attacked Sun Ce?

"Why did Liu Biao attack Sun Ce unexpectedly? The two of them cooperated very well."

Xi Zhicai explained: "Last night, the Longteng Chamber of Commerce sent a message. You were resting at the time, so you didn't inform me."

"What about Jingzhou?"

Yin Kui's branch is in charge of Jingzhou's affairs, so what he sent must have a close relationship with Jingzhou.

"Yin Kui said in the letter that Sun Ce secretly hoarded no less than [-] troops in the two counties of Yichun and Pingdu in Danyang County, and planned to launch troops against the four counties in Jingnan."

"Ha ha!"

Cao Shuo sneered, this alliance is really interesting, it has only been together for a long time, and for a small benefit, it began to break up.

Jia Xu said: "Sun Ce has lost Wu County, if he loses Danyang County, he will only have one county left, and he will definitely try every means to expand his territory."

"Although the Jingnan four counties are vast and sparsely populated, they are far away from the Central Plains. They are very suitable as his rear to provide him with food and grass."

Cao Shuo said: "In this case, after we capture Danyang County, we will sign an armistice agreement with Sun Ce, and we will not attack each other within one year."

He wants to see, Sun Ce or Liu Biao, whose navy is the most powerful, so that he can take advantage of this year to clean up Ma Teng in Xiliang and Liu Bei in Hanzhong.

As long as Liangzhou and Hanzhong are stable, he can send troops to attack Liu Biao from the west.

In the end, Cao Shuo still took away the soldiers and horses in Jia Xu's camp, and the war in Danyang County must end as soon as possible.

Jia Xu dispatched [-] soldiers from Qu'a to defend Jurong, and then, together with Cao Shuo, led the army all the way south to attack Liyang.

"Zou Dan, Qi Zhou, you two lead three thousand cavalry to open the way!"

"promise!"

When it was dark, Cao Shuo's army arrived outside Liyang City, and Wu Lu, the prefect of Liyang, was terrified.

How can there be enemies here?Has Sun Ce's army ahead been defeated?

Wu Lu looked at the lieutenants behind him and said, "Who dares to lead the soldiers to test the opponent's strength?"

One of the lieutenants said: "Prefect, the enemy must have bypassed the army in front of us and marched all the way to here. It is two or three hundred miles from Hushu to here. The opponent's soldiers must be exhausted. We might as well take advantage of it." When the opponent's foothold is not stable, they attack the camp."

Wu Lu thought about it carefully. Although what his lieutenant general said was reasonable, he only had [-] soldiers under him. If he couldn't get out of the battle quickly, he would definitely be entangled by the opponent.

The army outside the city must have at least 2 people, and leading most of the soldiers out of the city rashly, once the city is lost, his life will be in danger.

"At midnight tonight, ask the soldiers to pack lightly, go outside the enemy's camp to prevent fire, and don't get entangled with the enemy. Once you succeed, return to the city quickly."

"promise!"

In Cao Shuo's camp, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Zou Dan, Qi Zhou, Xu Ding, Zhang Liao, and Li Dian stood in front of Cao Shuo, waiting for the next order.

Liyang is not in their plan at all, and their goal is Wanling, the seat of Danyang County.

As long as enough soldiers can be attracted here, Wen Ji in the south can quickly capture Jing County and besiege Wanling.

Cao Shuo said: "Spread the news that I am here, and I will make the whole Danyang County boil."

Jia Xu worried: "Your Majesty, is this too risky?"

Once Cao Shuo was in danger here, they could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.

"Don't worry, with so many great generals around, even if Sun Ce leads an army of one million to attack, he won't be able to do anything to me."

Chapter 485 Those who kill Cao Shuo will be rewarded with [-] gold, and named kings with different surnames

"Report, Liyang found enemy troops!"

Sun Ce in Moling City couldn't help but panic when he heard the news.

How could there be enemy troops in Liyang?

Are they not afraid of going deep alone?If the battles of Hushu and Jurong are unfavorable, wouldn't this army be surrounded by heavy siege?

After fighting Jia Xu for so long, he felt that Jia Xu would not be so impulsive.

Lu Su hurriedly asked: "Do you know who the leading general is?"

"According to the narration of the people who escaped from Liyang, it was Cao Shuo, the emperor of Wei, who went to the surrounding villages to personally inspect the people's conditions."
