Chapter 61

"Lü Bu is here?!" Cao Cao said in surprise, "Zhang Miao was able to appease Lu Bu, which is amazing."

Xi Zhicai obediently held the exquisite stove that Cao Cao gave him, and frowned slightly: "Lü Bu is a man of treachery, first there was Ding Yuan, then there was Dong Zhuo, he is a man without virtue, wild wolves are hard to tame, lone wolves are even more vicious It is not safe to be with wolves, and there is a possibility of being bitten back at any time. Maybe Yuan Shao is unwilling to accept Lu Bu because of this. Now that he is here with the lord, this is not an opportunity for the lord, but a trouble."

Cao Cao was quite impressed by Lu Bu's combat ability. He looked around, saw no one around, and quietly told Xi Zhicai like a thief: "You have a secret, don't tell Wen Ruo and the others, or he will talk about me again. Staring at me, Zhicai, if you agree to keep it secret, I will tell you."

When did the lord ever be so careful? With such a mysterious appearance, Xi Zhicai's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked funnyly, "What kind of secret is it that the lord doesn't even tell Wen Ruo?"

Cao Cao looked at him.

"Okay, okay, I promise I can keep it a secret, and I won't tell anyone." Xi Zhicai looked helpless, and muttered in his heart: Could it be that this secret has something to do with Lu Bu?

"Actually, Dong Zhuo was assassinated by me," Cao Cao said excitedly in a low voice with his eyes shining brightly, "Lü Bu is...I think about how to describe him."

Words that the gentlemen in the various systems floated in his mind, and he replied decisively: "He is a fool! Don't think he is ambitious, but he is easily deceived."

Xi Zhicai opened his eyes slightly, surprised: "Dong Zhuo was killed by the lord?! But why does the whole world say that Lv Bu murdered his father?"

"He has a violent and reckless temper. He has no counselors to dissuade him, and he acts without any scruples relying on his own martial arts. Dong Zhuo raised wolves like dogs. Lu Bu has long been dissatisfied. I killed Dong Zhuo and set him up as a blame. In order to cooperate with Wang Yun He won the power of Chang'an, and he didn't explain it, so he acquiesced."

Cao Cao laughed: "He didn't even think about it. With Wang Yun's stubbornness, can he keep Chang'an under Dong Zhuo's old army and Xiliang generals? Wang Yun will only be like Dou Wu and Chen Like Fan, when he was a powerful minister of his court, he was blinded by power after a long time, thinking that he was very powerful, and ignored how dangerous the situation he was in."

Dou Wu is against the eunuch, and Wang Yun is against the army of nearly [-] Xiliang troops!

"Is it because Lü Bu has no advisors by his side that he has fallen so far?" Xi Zhicai thoughtfully, persuading Cao Cao, "My lord, don't be negligent. Although he lacks wisdom, he has powerful force and amazing destructive power. From the incident in Chang'an, it can be seen that Lu Bu also has the ambition to be a master. If Lu Bu intends to stay in Yanzhou to seek business, the master should focus on appeasement. Don't give him too many manpower and troops, so as not to cause him to rebel in the future. you."

"He is obviously a general, but he has the heart of being a master," Cao Cao disagreed: "Who can stand his temper, look at him all these years, has anyone around him advised him? Ordinary advisers avoid him and stay away. Yes, whoever becomes his counselor will be hard-working and thankless."

Xi Zhi was in a hurry: "My lord!"

As soon as Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai's hand, he said expectantly, "Lü Bu is good at leading cavalry into battle. The soldiers he brings out are almost invincible." Recruiting Lu Bu is a gamble, and I don't agree with putting myself in a dangerous environment like this, let alone Wen Ruo and Gongtai."

"Taming a wolf can't be done once, I know that," Cao Cao said lightly, "Give him a sweet jujube first, hold it high, and then let him go to fight, and he will break his blood before he finds out Instead of being bullied outside as a wild wolf, it’s better to run back and be a husky.”

Xi Zhicai: "Husky?"

"It's the name of a dog that looks like a wolf. Tewefeng. When I was young, I liked fighting cocks and walking dogs. The gentlemen would occasionally teach me some miscellaneous knowledge, such as the identification of cats and dogs, and the selection of fighting cocks."

So even if Cao Cao is a dude, he is the most playful dude, he can play tricks with him, and he can learn tricks when he learns.

Xi Zhicai showed a subtle expression: "My lord, if you smear yourself like this, aren't you afraid of slandering your image in the hearts of the counselors?"

"What's the matter? I've always been telling the truth. I have to play the best when I play, and I have to learn the best when I learn. Anyone can be young and frivolous. If I hadn't been reckless at the time, and I hadn't experienced those lessons, I would have I'm not going to be who I am now."

Cao Cao has always been honest with his own people.

"Actually, there is another reason. I just agreed to cooperate with Benchu. Now that Lu Bu betrayed Benchu ​​and left, Zhang Miao accepted Lu Bu. I have to set an example to reassure him." , taught Cao Cao with his life's living example.Without Cao Jie's "teaching", Cao Cao might ignore the success or failure in many details, and even encounter betrayal by friends and counselors.When Yang Qiu betrayed Cao Jie and cooperated with Qiao Xuan, it was the most real example, telling Cao Cao not to ignore the appeals and concerns of key subordinates at any time.

Even if Zhang Miao was his classmate, a good friend who grew up with him, and also his subordinate, it was precisely because of his good relationship that Cao Cao paid more attention to him.

To appease Zhang Miao, at first glance, it seems to be a reason for Cao Cao to talk casually, but after careful consideration, it seems to have some truth.

Xi Zhi was persuaded by Cao Cao: "My lord is not blindly confident in the relationship with your classmates and friends. This is a good thing. I only hope that you will be as clear-headed as you are now when dealing with Yuan Shao in the future."

What Xi Zhicai said was not without reason. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were friends in the past, they are now the masters of the two camps. Feelings and interests prompted them to cooperate, and there will be other interests in the future that will cause them to turn against each other.He doesn't want Cao Cao to be confident in his relationship with his friends, and he should be vigilant no matter how he treats Yuan Shao or others.

Cao Cao quickly responded to Zhang Miao: Nanana!

Zhang Miao couldn't laugh or cry when he received the three Na characters that he was almost so excited to throw out of the letter: "No matter how many years have passed, Meng De is still the same."

Look how happy he is!

Cao Cao wanted to recruit Lu Bu, and he was not afraid of offending Yuan Shao, which made Zhang Miao heave a sigh of relief: "It seems that I did not embarrass him this time by making my own claim."

In Zhang Miao's view, Lu Bu must be received when he passes Chenliu. If he is not appeased, let him let his soldiers stay in Chenliu. These are all restless soldiers. Rule brings destruction.To have a good relationship with Lu Bu, supporting him is the best way. With Lu Bu restrained, his generals will not endanger Chen Liu.Zhang Miao didn't dare to gamble on the military discipline of Lu Bu's army, so he could only try his best to win him over. His only worry was that he would offend Cao Cao.

After all, from what Lu Bu revealed, he left Jizhou to escape Yuan Shao's murder.

Yuan Shao couldn't tolerate Lu Bu, didn't want to keep tigers as trouble, and wanted to find a chance to kill Lu Bu. These were all things that Lu Bu complained to Zhang Miao bitterly.

The left and right were puzzled by this, and some even took the opportunity to ask Zhang Miao: "Is the prefect befriending Lv Bu because he intends to cooperate with Lv Bu to take Yanzhou?"

The famous scholar Bian Rang had long been dissatisfied with Cao Cao's life experience after the eunuch. He had a great influence in Chenliu, was deeply loved by the local scholars, and almost had the strength to challenge the county guard.

Because of Bian Rang's reputation, Zhang Miao has always been polite to Bian Rang, and even asked Bian Rang for his opinions many times, allowing him to freely enter and leave the Sheriff's Mansion.

At this time, Bian Rang entered the Sheriff's Mansion and said to Zhang Miao: "Prefect Zhang is a descendant of a famous family and an excellent student of Luoyang Taixue. In terms of family background, he is much more noble than Cao Cao, but now he works under Cao Cao. He is only qualified to be the lord of Yanzhou because of his father who bought an official and became one of the three princes. You can make friends with Lu Bu, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with Lu Bu and find a chance to stand up? With your family background and reputation, There must be many people who support you as the master of Yanzhou, and I will also help you and use my reputation to attract more talented people for you."

Zhang Miao's heart skipped a beat, and he rejected Bian Rang's suggestion. He explained in a gentle voice, "The Yanzhou army is in the hands of Zhou Mu. At this time, Mr. Bian, don't mention the rebellion?"

This is also the case when I think about it, Cao Cao holds the army in his hand!

"The prefect can cooperate with Lu Bu to take down the army left behind in Yanzhou when Cao Cao is out to fight."

"Let's talk," Zhang Miao replied vaguely, making him suspicious, and suggested, "Today I'm going to invite General Lu to a banquet for a drink. Mister Bian, why don't you take this opportunity to get to know General Lu?"

Bian Rang snorted coldly, also looked down on Lu Bu, and left after finding an excuse.

The officials on the left and right asked Zhang Miao cautiously: "The prefect's reputation and ability can serve as the shepherd of a state, but now he is inferior to Cao Cao. Don't you feel dissatisfied?"

"That's right, Grand Administrator, many celebrities and officials here in Chenliu do not obey Cao Cao. Only you are willing to obey Cao Cao's order. His power is concentrated in Dongjun. In Chenliu, we can only rely on you. If you are willing to lead everyone to oppose Cao Cao, the Yanzhou clan and The scholars will come to help you."

Zhang Miao was also surrounded by local scholars from Chenliu, and he sighed slightly: "Don't say that again in the future, I don't accept Yuan Shao, I don't agree with Yuan Shu, and I even despise Gongsun Zan, there is only one person in this world who can convince me. "

"who is it?"

"Cao Jili."

So even if he can't be the shepherd of the state, but only a sheriff, he is willing to work for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has an astonishing appeal among the students of the same class. Although the once most prestigious name of "Cao Jili" can no longer be used, Zhang Miao, a former classmate and friend, knows about it.

Zhang Miao is very outstanding, he is also an excellent student who graduated from the Imperial Academy, he is as conceited and proud as Yuan Shao, none of the students educated by the same Imperial Academy is mediocre, they are all talented people with extraordinary abilities.

If there was anyone he admired the most, it would be the leader of his class back then, Cao Jili.

Whether it is knowledge, diligence, or personal ability, Cao Cao is much higher than the students of the same class, far away from the No.2 Yuan Shao.

A person who is a little ahead of others will make those behind him want to surpass.If it gets to the point where it is too far ahead to catch up with, the people behind can only look up at his back and try to catch up.The greater the gap, the greater the respect and admiration.

He is not convinced who is Zhang Miao's lord in this world, including Yuan Shao. In Zhang Miao's view, Yuan Shao's achievements are only average, and he only relies on his huge family business and painstaking management.Only Cao Cao and Zhang Miao are really convinced, so convinced that they have a kind of blind worship and confidence in his ability.

Zhang Miao pondered: Meng De can't always recruit people, because he sometimes makes such "celebrities" boast of being noble.

What kind of image Cao Cao is in the eyes of the scholars in Yanzhou, we can know a thing or two from the words and deeds of the scholars around Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao's expression was condensed, and he advised the left and right: "Don't think that Zhou Mu has always been amicable because he really has a good temper. In his heart, the people are the most important. If scholars don't want to come to seek refuge, there will be people willing to do things for him. Cao Cao It is the master of Yanzhou! If you keep your mouth open, even I will not be able to protect you."

Zhang Miao beat the people around him a lot, but he found it difficult to make such a celebrity so famous that countless scholars followed him as soon as he ascended the height.I am afraid that such a difficult bone as Bian Rang can only be handed over to Cao Cao to clean up.

He packed up his mood, went to look for Lu Bu, and said with a smile: "Our state shepherd admires the general's martial arts and righteousness, and admires you as a great hero who killed Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao can't tolerate you, but our state shepherd is bigger than Yuan Shao." With his capacity, is General Lu willing to join Yanzhou to create a career?"

Lu Bu, who had just been tricked by Yuan Shao, was wary of Cao Cao's recruitment.

Zhang Miao continued his efforts and said: "Official positions and the army are easy to talk about. It will be a matter of time before you get a reward for your general's ability. Leading troops to fight, isn't that just the candidate for a general that Zhou Mu has been longing for?"

Lu Bu thought for a while, and his previous plan to seek refuge with Zhang Yang wavered for a moment. He asked Zhang Miao, "Guo Si and Li Jue hijacked the emperor and wanted me in the name of His Majesty. I am only here temporarily. Do you still have the courage to defy the imperial decree?"

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Guo Si and Li Jue cannot protect themselves, so they dare not easily offend our state shepherd. Yanzhou has sufficient troops, and the Yellow Turban banditry is cleared. How can the state shepherd be afraid of the threat of Dong Zhuo's old department and succumb to the imperial decree fabricated by the villain?" ?”

Zhang Yang, Lv Bu's fellow-townsman, used to be Ding Yuan's subordinate, and later obeyed He Jin's command. After He Jin's death, he succumbed to Dong Zhuo.There is no doubt about Zhang Yang's ability. Under the prying eyes of many forces, Hanoi, the base, was kept by catering, but it was also the catering that made Lu Bu not trust him enough.It's not that there is no way to retreat, and Lu Bu doesn't want to choose Zhang Yang as a person who can rely on him. Who knows whether Zhang Yang will betray his fellow countrymen for the sake of stability?

While Lu Bu was hesitating, Zhang Miao said again, "The Zhang Yang you want to join has a good relationship with all the state shepherds. Our state shepherds have also received gifts from Zhang Yang."

Lu Bu immediately made up his mind and stayed in Yanzhou!

Zhang Miao was overjoyed and immediately said: "I will lead the general to meet our lord."

On the other side, Liu Bei visited Cao Cao and respectfully said: "Beihai Kong Rong is surrounded by the Yellow Turban general Guan Hai, please come and ask Zhou Mu for reinforcements."

Cao Cao said: "Qingzhou is a place that doesn't care about anything. A large area has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban. The nominal governor of Qingzhou is still a person appointed by Gongsun Zan. Brother Xuande is going here. Why don't you take this opportunity to take Qingzhou? I will send troops here. I will fully support you."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and looking at Cao Cao's expression again, it was so unpredictable that it made him feel cold all over his body.

"Zhou Mu, there are nearly [-] yellow scarves in Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan's army stationed in the north!"

He is extremely unwilling to go to the muddy waters of Qingzhou. It is one thing to support Kong Rong. Kong Rong is a celebrity, and he will gain fame if he saves him. But it is another thing to become the master of Qingzhou. In a poor, ignorant place, when Kong Rong scolded Dong Zhuo sarcastically, he was dispatched to such a poor place. It is conceivable how bad the situation in Qingzhou is.

The Prime Minister of Beihai, Kong Rong, spent nearly five years trying his best to manage a small place in Beihai, but now he is surrounded by yellow scarves, so he can only ask for help. Killed people!

"Your brother Xuande don't have to worry, with me as your backing, there will be plenty of reinforcements and food and grass." Cao Cao patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said sincerely: "Your brother is a person with great ambitions. The prefect has wronged you, your ability can let you be the shepherd of a state, I will use this form to recommend you to be the shepherd of Qingzhou, you just feel relieved to save Kong Rong."

Cao Cao gave Liu Bei [-] elite troops and [-] shi of food, and appointed many generals with wealth and wealth, and sent Liu Bei to Qingzhou like ducks on the shelves.

When Liu Bei left, he was very nostalgic for Yanzhou. He reluctantly dragged Cao Cao and talked for a long time, but he almost asked Cao Cao directly: Don't leave me alone!

When Li Jue and Guo Si heard that Lu Bu had come to Cao Cao, they pinched the emperor's edict and asked Cao Cao to kill the wanted criminal Lu Bu.

"Interesting, really interesting, I actually received two imperial edicts," Cao Cao laughed heartily, and instead of responding directly to Li Jue and Guo Si, he sent someone to send a letter to recommend Liu Bei as the shepherd of Qingzhou.

Li Jue and Guo Si only wanted to kill Lu Bu as soon as possible, so they naturally agreed to Cao Cao's request. Qingzhou Mu's appointment was soon issued. Whether it was Liu Bei who received the news, or Gongsun Zan who was facing the enemy, they were all beaten up. caught off guard.

Li Jue sent someone to ask Cao Cao: Why don't you kill Lu Bu soon?

Guo Si sent someone to win Cao Cao to cooperate: How about we kill Lu Bu and Li Jue together!

Cao Cao slapped the table and laughed, which attracted Xi Zhicai's subtle look.

"My lord?"

"Guo Si and Li Jue have not got rid of the external troubles, but they are fighting internally," Cao Cao laughed: "What is this called? It's called chicken pecking each other!"

Xi Zhicai showed a smile: "It's a good thing for the lord that they are fighting among themselves. It's just that Lu Bu is coming, have you really thought about how to recruit him? I'm still worried that you won't be able to handle him." "Zhicai don't worry , Shanren has his own tricks, and I am a professional in acting!" Cao Cao showed his white teeth, thinking that he was about to meet the Tie Han Lu Bu who had been tricked by him again, and smiled like a weasel who only pays New Year greetings to chickens.

Zhang Miao welcomed Lu Bu to see Cao Cao. After the report, he saw that Cao Cao was smiling, as if he had encountered something very funny, and he was puzzled.

"Could it be because General Lu agreed to come here, which made Zhou Mu so happy?"

Cao Cao put down the generous gift sent by Guo Bang, and said to Zhang Miao with a smile, "No, where is General Lu now, can I see him?"

Zhang Miao replied, "General Lu is waiting outside to be summoned by the state pastor."

Cao Cao got up hurriedly, walked out in a hurry, and went to welcome Lu Bu in himself.

Lu Bu had never met Cao Cao before, and he only heard that he was a young man with great achievements, who had participated in the League of Disputes. In his impression, the image of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao should be similar.

When he saw Cao Cao, Lu Bu lowered his head and could almost see the official hat on his head. He was very surprised: I didn't expect that the rumored Cao Cao turned out to be a dwarf as tall as his chin!

Lu Bu was thinking about what to say, when he saw Cao Cao raised his head, he was in a daze because of the familiarity in his face, how familiar did he feel?

Where does it look familiar?Where on earth had he seen him, he could not remember!

At this moment, Cao Cao enthusiastically grabbed Lu Bu's hand, exaggerating: "Your Excellency is the hero Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who killed Dong Zhuo? You are worthy of being Lu Bu among men and Chitu among horses. You are really mighty and majestic." , handsome and extraordinary!"

Lu Bu, who was still thinking about where he had met Cao Cao, was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm, and his dull mind went blank.

Zhang Miao: ...

The author has something to say: Zhang Miao: I never thought you would be such a Meng De!
