"The scenery here is indeed unique, and Zhicai's choice is indeed extraordinary..." Wei Jian looked around with a slight smile, and then said meaningfully to Guo Jia, whose pseudonym was Xi Zhicai.
"Haha, why did Brother Bochu say this? This is an ordinary scene, little brother..." Xi Zhicai still looked lazy and extended his hand to invite guests for a tea ceremony.
Now Xi Zhicai also has an independent courtyard and a corner building. Looking up from a high place, there is indeed a scenery, but both of them know that it is not actually a scenery.
Cao Cao led his troops to help Yuan Shao clean the backyard, so naturally Wei Ji and Guo Jia were left to clean up the Cao family's backyard. Of course, there were also other civil servants, such as Man Chong and Mao Jie, but after all, they were the first to take charge and their main responsibilities were
Wei Jian and Xi Zhicai were still responsible.
Of course, Cao Cao did not let two people rule together, but focused on it.
Relatively speaking, Wei Jian came from a large noble family, and he was relatively good at commanding civil affairs and allocating matters among the clans. Therefore, he was mainly responsible for people's livelihood and farming in surrounding counties and villages. As for Xi Zhicai, of course, he was more inclined to
As for military strategy, of course Wei Jian came earlier after all, so nominally Wei Jian is the main one and Xi Zhicai is the supplementary one.
"...There is no need to be too humble when it comes to ambition. There are clouds here in the east, rain in the west, no mountains in the middle, and a blue cloud rising straight up. It is really a blessed place!" Wei Jian smiled half-heartedly. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem at all, but in fact
I felt a little unhappy. It was obvious that Xi Zhicai had special rights given by Cao Cao, and this kind of rights was something that Wei Qian did not have.
A few days ago, Wei Jian just received a letter from Cao Cao. In addition to replying to some of the questions reported by Wei Jian, he also emphasized that he should vigorously promote agricultural business, strive to cultivate more farmland this year, and conduct an inventory of the surrounding areas.
Is there a situation where the country lords hide their cultivated land and swallow up their annual income...
Of course, there is nothing wrong with just reading the letters, but combined with the trends during this period, some things are exposed.
Promoting Sangzi and other matters is the right thing to do, but repeatedly emphasizing it shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to this matter.
So, why should we pay attention to it?
It's very simple. Cao Cao is preparing to fight this year, and the spring plowing is just to have more food and grass for the autumn harvest.
So where should we fight?
Wei Ji had no news at all before this and knew nothing about it. Although he had some vague speculations now, it felt very bad to be kept in the dark.
Everyone has the desire to control, but some people are stronger and some are weaker. But for Wei Ji, he happened to be a person with a strong desire to control. Wei Ji thought he was under Cao Cao's banner.
Cao Cao's first adviser has always thought this was the case, but now he discovered that there were some sudden situations that showed that things under Cao Cao's rule were not within his control, which naturally made him feel very uncomfortable.
Wei Ji thinks that there is nothing wrong with his desire to control. He is also working hard for Cao Cao's great cause. He works extremely hard every day, working hard on documents, but there are things beyond his control. How can Wei Ji make this happen?
Accept it with peace of mind?
Xi Zhicai was holding the tea bowl, his eyes moved, and he glanced at Wei Jian, and he knew that the news that Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, died in the battle in Jinxiang reached Wei Jian's ears. After all, Liu Dai's courtesy name was Gongshan.
However, this Wei Jian's reaction was not slow either.
Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea soup and put down the tea bowl. For him, he actually preferred warming a pot of wine rather than drinking a bowl of tea.
"This place is also a gift from Duke Cao, but if Brother Bochu likes it, I will tell Duke Cao when he comes back and give it to Brother Bochu. How about it?" Xi Zhicai also smiled and talked about things, as if
I can't hear the voice-over from Wei Jian.
"...Hahahahaha," Wei Jian raised his head and laughed. This Xi Zhicai actually used Cao Gong as a shield. However, since it was arranged by Cao Gong, naturally he could not accept it in private. This is a big taboo, so he said with a smile, "
Since it is a gift from Duke Cao, Zhicai can accept it with peace of mind, how can it be re-gifted?"
"Yes, there is only an inch of mortal earth here, how can it contaminate Brother Bochu's bright mind?" Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and then said, "I guess there will be a place with excellent scenery waiting for Brother Bochu to come."
Wei Jian rolled his eyes, his movements still smooth and elegant, as if he asked casually: "Oh? Where does Zhicai think the scenery is better?"
Liu Dai is dead.
Even if thousands of people died, Wei Ji might not even blink an eyelid, but if one governor died, the problem would be a little bigger, and of course it would only be a small problem.
It’s not that the lives of high-ranking people must be more precious and have more value than ordinary people. It’s just that there are fewer high-ranking people after all. Even if everyone doesn’t know each other, they have heard that sudden death is more likely to occur.
Some people feel sad when a rabbit dies and a fox hurts its own kind. Similarly, the death of a superior person will also lead to more personnel changes at the same level, and ordinary people, well, this...
Therefore, after Wei Jian learned of Liu Dai's death, he was surprised and immediately concluded that Liu Dai's death seemed to be more beneficial to the current situation, and that he would be able to obtain greater benefits for the second general Yuan Shu.
Of the two people, it was Cao Cao who benefited the most!
This is a little weird.
Wei Jian then carefully scrutinized Liu Dai's death and discovered some clues hidden in it.
Why did Liu Dai die in Jinxiang?
Apparently they were going to prepare to encircle and suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
But with Liu Dai's army alone, does he have the courage to challenge the Qingzhou Yellow Turban army head-on?
Not necessarily, then it is natural to have an agreement with other county governors to coordinate a pincer attack. Only in this way will it be in line with the art of war and the certainty of victory will be greater.
In the entire Yanzhou situation, there are only four armies. In addition to Cao Cao, one is naturally the governor Liu himself, one is Chen Liu and Zhang Miao, and the other is Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei. Therefore, there is no doubt that Liu Dai cannot abandon the near for the distant.
, so I can only seek help from Bao Xin.
As for Bao Xin's role in this incident, coupled with his relationship with Cao Cao, and after contacting Xi Zhicai's recent news, Wei Jian naturally concluded that Xi Zhicai was probably involved in this matter, and
It's hard to say that he was pushing behind the scenes.
Although Bao Xin said that there was heavy rain and there was no way to rescue him, but, haha, I believe that even if there is no heavy rain, he can still achieve this result by just finding an excuse. For example, if there is a fire in the army and the food and grass are burned down, he must go back to raise another one or two.
etc……
After all, Duke Cao is far away from home for this kind of thing. If we wait for Duke Cao's reply after reporting it, it may take a lot of time. In this way, the opportunity may be delayed. Although the drama is delivered by Cao Cao and focuses on military strategy.
It makes sense to operate without telling Wei Jing, but it does not mean that after the matter is over, there is no need to report to Wei Jing, who is nominally the leader.
Wei Jian came here to express such an attitude and to serve as a warning to Xi Zhicai.
Of course, it was helpful to Cao Cao's great cause, and Wei Ji was also happy to see it succeed, so he asked in an understatement rather than reprimanding him strongly.
Nowadays, the few remaining governors in Yanzhou who have military power are Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin. As for Yuan Huan, the governor of Shanyang County, they are actually not knowledgeable in military affairs and are vying for the title of governor of Yanzhou.
There is nothing to worry about. Since Cao Cao wants to prepare for battle, the direction he chooses is naturally crucial.
Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed, and he felt that there was no need to make the relationship with Wei Chong too rigid in this matter, so he pointed his finger and said: "Brother Bo Chong, what if we go east...?"
"East?" Wei Qian cast his gaze far away to the east. He was silent for a while, then nodded and said with a slight smile, "That's good..."
