"Is it possible that you want to stay in Xingyang for three years?"
Cao Peng waved his hand, "This is not a reason... Although I don't want to stay in Xingyang forever, the problem is that Nanyang County is in a mess now. There are countless officials in the court, and there are many capable people under Sikong's account. Why was I selected alone?
, which makes me feel weird."
The smile on Guo Jia's face gradually faded.
He looked at Cao Peng and said quietly after a while: "I don't want you to be delayed in Xingyang, it's just one of the reasons.
Although you made paper in Xingyang, invented the method of covering earth and burning blades, and improved weapons, after all, you are still overqualified... The situation in Nanyang is unstable, and a strong person is needed to come out of town. This person needs to know how to advance and retreat, and understand the importance.
More importantly, we must understand the importance of Nanyang to the lord. At present, Liu Biao and the lord have formed an alliance, and they cannot break up. Therefore, the lord cannot use troops at this time.
You have experience in Haixi and Hexi, so you can deal with complex and chaotic situations.
Secondly, because you are from Nanyang, it is easier for the Nanyang Jin gentry to be accepted by them and calm their fears.
In this regard, Yuan Rang is not enough.
He is brave enough, but not gentle enough. He has been out of Nanyang for two years, but has not made much progress. After you go there, you must try your best to win over the local gentry, make friends with the Jingxiang clan, and isolate Liu Bei. I have thought about it, and I can do it.
It seems that you are the only one who has reached this point and is suitable."
"Brother Guo, you lifted me too high, be careful I can't get down."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "If you can't come down, then don't come down..."
Cao Peng fell silent immediately!
Guo Jia's intention is very clear, that is, he wants him to stay on stage. From now on to Nanyang, he will do what he does if he does well, and he will do what he does if he doesn't do well. Either he will become famous, or...
Cao Cao will not kill himself, but if this trip to Nanyang fails, it will definitely cause many twists and turns.
After a long while, Cao Peng sighed, "I know that if there is a good thing, you will never think of me. If it is not a trouble, you will not recommend me to Nanyang."
"Haha, you can do it."
Cao Peng leaned on the armchair, put his hands on the armrests, and looked up to the sky.
"Brother Guo, why did Liu Bei suddenly use troops?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "This is due to Wenhe's conspiracy."
"oh?"
Cao Peng quickly sat up straight and stared at Guo Jia with bright eyes.
"Before, Wen He designed to bribe the Cai clan, and through that person's mouth, he advised the Cai clan and Cai Mao, asking them to win over Liu Bei, assist Liu Cong, and promise to be stationed in Fancheng. This was a plan to alienate each other. If Liu Bei agreed,
Cai is bound to turn against the old Shanyang tribe that Liu Biao brought to Jingzhou. Supporting Liu Cong means turning against Liu Qi... You also know that although Liu Biao loves Liu Cong and is quite alienated from Liu Qi, Liu Qi is loyal and strong-hearted.
, Liu Biao also made many meritorious deeds when he was stationed in Jingzhou.
Therefore, the old Shanyang tribe mostly supported Liu Qi and could be considered a force in Jingzhou.
People such as Li Gui from Yi, although they did not hold real power, were all people with real talent and learning. Not to mention Liu Biao's son Liu Pan and nephew Liu Hu, both of whom had military power, tended to lean towards Liu Qi. Therefore,
If Liu Bei obeys the Cai family, he will be hostile to Liu Qi; on the contrary, if he does not obey, he will be tolerated by the Cai family and even more suppressed by the Jingxiang family... In short, Wenhe's plan puts Liu Bei in a dilemma."
Cao Peng understands!
He couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that Jia Viper pushed too hard and added too much fuel, making the fire uncontrollable and driving Liu Bei to a panic?"
Jia Viper?
Guo Jia was startled, and then he stopped laughing.
Thinking about Jia Xu's usually gloomy appearance, as if someone owed him a lot of money. The name Jia Xu was indeed very suitable, making Guo Jia nod his head repeatedly.
"That's pretty much it. The reason why Liu Bei dared to attack Wancheng was probably because he was forced into a hurry, so he was determined to become independent by attacking Wancheng."
"Liu Biao, do you agree?"
"Liu Jingsheng is currently in bed. Many matters in Jingzhou, if they are not important, are mostly taken care of by brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. These two are also more inclined to the Cai family, so they will put pressure on Liu Bei sooner or later. However, I am not sure that Liu Bei can persist.
How long. The most important thing is that after he captured Wancheng, his reputation became great. If he continues to wreak havoc in Nanyang, sooner or later something will happen."
Cao Peng sneered, "Jia Poisonous Snake burned the fire, but you want me to put it out?"
"you are not willing?"
Cao Peng scratched his head, "I would like to go, but there is no one around.
You also know that most of my troops stayed in the northwest, with only brothers Pang De and Pang Ming around me, and no one to make suggestions. Going to Nanyang is no small matter. Liu Bei is not like Ma Teng. Although his strength is not as good as Ma Teng, but in terms of
The means are far beyond those of Ma Teng."
To deal with Ma Teng, I also have Pang Tong and Xu Shu who can help.
But when I arrived in Nanyang, I really didn’t have anyone around me that I could use...
"Don't think about diverting the manpower from the northwest."
Guo Jia's words stopped Cao Peng's thoughts, "If you want someone, I can recommend it to you, and you can also choose from Sikong Zhang. But the northwest side has just stabilized. Judging from the situation last year, the entire
It's impossible for Liangzhou to allocate manpower for you, so you can't even think about tampering with Northwest. Oh, by the way... Liu Xian came to visit the year before last and brought someone with him, which I think is pretty good."
"who?"
"Du Ji."
Cao Peng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Who are you talking about?"
"Du Ji, Du Bohou."
This name sounds a bit familiar.
By the way, I remembered... Du Yu's grandfather. Du Yu was one of the generals as famous as Deng Ai at the end of the Three Kingdoms period. He was also the main hero in destroying Wu. The one who broke the iron chain across the river was Du Yu. But in
In the eleventh year of Jian'an, it seems that Du Yu was not born yet.
Du Ji was born in Duling, Jingzhao.
As a young boy, his stepmother was very kind to him, but extremely filial.
At the age of 20, he was appointed as the county's meritorious officer and guarded the county magistrate of Zheng. Later, he promoted Xiaolian and removed the prime minister of Hanzhong. After the world was in chaos, he lived in Jingzhou. At the end of the ninth year of Jian'an, Liu Xian was ordered to go to Xudu as an envoy, and Du Ji came with him.
Then he did not return to Jingzhou with Liu Xian, but settled in Xudu.
Historically, Xun Yu recommended Cao Cao.
This guy seems to be a great guy too...
"Where does he live now?"
Guo Jiadao: "Xu Du Caochang Street... But he is living a very unhappy life now. His son is only eight years old, but he doesn't even have jute paper to write on. I have chatted with him several times. He is quite talented and has a good understanding of
I am very familiar with Jing Xiang. I wanted to recommend him to Sikong, but unexpectedly the defeat of Nanyang happened. After thinking about it, I guessed that you would not be willing to take up the post, so I left this person to you."
"Ha, should I thank you?"
Guo Jia smiled elegantly and said, "If you want to thank me, I can bear it."
Against Guo Jia, Cao Peng has no tricks at all.
This guy is extremely thick-skinned. If you compete with him, you will really lose. However, Cao Peng doesn't mean to blame Guo Jia. After all, chatting with Guo Jia is sometimes even better than chatting with Deng Ji.
Being relaxed makes him a rare conversation partner. Moreover, Guo Jia is quite capable of drawing inferences from one instance and understands new things very quickly. That is to say, he is like this when talking to Cao Peng, but he may not be like this with another person.
"I'm afraid one Du Ji is not enough."
"Afu, your shameless demeanor is getting worse and worse."
Guo Jia smiled and scolded: "I have known for a long time that you will not be satisfied. However, I have another candidate, you can consider it."
Guo Jia, that's it.
It's like toothpaste, it won't come out unless you squeeze it out.
"who?"
"Deng Zhi."
Cao Peng looked at Guo Jiada in astonishment and said, "That's my brother-in-law's person."
"I know!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Last time my uncle and grandson came here, I had several conversations with Deng Zhi. This man is quite talented and has extraordinary knowledge. Now that my uncle and grandson are in Dongjun, he needs help from you.
, lived a happy life. Those old diehards in Yanzhou obeyed his words. Bo Miao stayed in Dongjun, just to deal with some chores. To be honest, it was a bit unfair, which was a pity.
I remember that he and his uncle and grandson were from the same clan, both from Jiyang.
And having lived in Xinye for a long time, I think I am more familiar with the situation in Nanyang.
When you go to Nanyang, you need the help of someone who is familiar with Nanyang. Whether it is Du Ji or Deng Zhi, these two people are the most suitable candidates.
By the way, there is another person, but I don’t know if you can invite him."
"Which one?"
"Lu Yu, Lu Zi's family."
Cao Peng's eyes widened, "Brother Guo, don't give me random recommendations. Who is Lu Yu?"
To be honest, among the three people recommended by Guo Jia, except for Deng Zhi, Cao Peng was not familiar with him. Du Ji was okay. After all, he had some impressions and knew that he had an awesome grandson. But Lu Yu? Which one is that? Cao Peng
Peng has never even heard of this name.
"You don't know the Lu Zi family?"
This time, it was Guo Jia's turn to be surprised.
Cao Peng had a black line on his face and asked with a depressed look: "Do I need to know about him?"
"Thanks to you and him for praising the Three Great Masters, you actually don't know his name?"
"Xu Du's three heroes?"
"You, Lu Yu, and Linyi Marquis Liu Guang."
Liu Guang is actually as famous as himself, is he one of the three heroes of Lao Shizi and Xu Du?
Cao Peng really doesn't know very well...
"When did this happen?"
"Haha, as early as three years ago, Liu Guang returned from Shuofang, but you stayed in Hexi.
Lu Yu also came from Youzhou that year and joined the lord. He is talented and knowledgeable, and his thoughts are delicate, and his writing is also very beautiful. Therefore, some good people have listed you three as the three heroes of Xudu, known as the three heroes...
I didn’t expect you didn’t even know this.”
There was an expression on Guo Jia's face that said, "You're an old hater." This made Cao Peng furious.
"I never knew you boring guys would come up with such a name.
Three years ago, I was still running Hexi. Faced with the threat of Ma Teng, how could I have the energy to pay attention to these things? However, where does this Lu Yu come from? Looking at you, you seem to respect me very much. Could it be that he is from another company?
A child of a wealthy family? Otherwise, he would never be like this."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are really right!"
"Appreciate further details."
"The father of the Lu family is the famous Lu Zhonglang."
When he said this, his expression suddenly became a little weird, "Speaking of which, Lu Zijia and Liu Bei are the same generation, and their relationship is quite close."
A name suddenly flashed in Cao Peng's mind.
Lu Zhonglang?
This Zhonglang, generally speaking, refers to the position and is the Zhonglang general.
An ordinary Zhonglang general would definitely not make Guo Jia look like a pug. But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there seemed to be only one Zhonglang general named Lu.
"But Bei Zhonglang will marry Lu Zhizi?"
Guo Jia nodded and smiled, looking like a child who can be taught.
No wonder he said that Lu Yu and Liu Bei were peers. Since Liu Bei once studied under Lu Zhi, Lu Yu was naturally Liu Bei's younger brother.
If there is such a relationship, it can be that Cao Peng is in Nanyang and a buffer zone is added between Liu Bei and Cao Peng.
Not to mention, the three people recommended by Guo Jia are really suitable for Cao Peng. Whether it is Deng Zhi, Du Ji, or Lu Yu, these three people are currently the most suitable candidates to appear in Nanyang County.
Cao Peng couldn't help but nodded slightly in agreement.
"I have already given you the choice.
As for whether you can be invited, it depends on your own abilities."
Cao Peng was furious, "Guo Fengxiao, you mean you haven't reached an agreement yet?"
"Of course, you see, I have lost a lot of weight after working hard all day. How can I find time to find staff for you? Cao Youxue, you must be ignorant, if it weren't for the bonus of 1,200 guan you gave me
For your sake, I'm too lazy to worry about you."
Mrs. Guo stood aside, pursed her lips and snickered.
Guo Jia's only son, Guo Yi, was nestled in his mother's arms, looking at the two guys who were fighting cocks, stretching their necks as if they were about to quarrel.
Guo Jia is really unhappy!
I put all my effort into helping you choose your staff, but you still don’t appreciate it?
As for Cao Peng, he was equally unhappy.
I threw away 1,200 guan, and actually asked me to persuade him personally... However, he also knew that people in this era are often a bit short-tempered. Deng Zhi's side was okay, and he sent people to Dongjun to negotiate with Deng Ji.
Let me tell you. I think Deng Zhi would not refuse this opportunity to return to his hometown in glory. Du Ji is said to have been unhappy. He has gone through many twists and turns and has a family background. It should not be difficult to persuade him to come out...
It’s Lu Yu!
This guy, whom Cao Peng has no memory of, may not be that easy to deal with.
Lu Yu and Cao Peng are the same age, and they are both twenty-five years old now. They have an old family background, and I am the famous Lu Zhi, so it will definitely not be easy to deal with. Young people are a little arrogant. If Cao Peng was thirty
If he is more than 40 years old, or forty years old, maybe Lu Yu can still respect him a little bit. The key is, if two people are the same age, no one will be convinced by the other. So how can we invite him to come out?
Mrs. Guo stood up to smooth things over, "Fengxiao, Youxue is your brother, why do you need to embarrass him?"
"Humph, my sister-in-law is still considerate, not like someone who is heartless.
I have always wondered, how could my sister-in-law, who is so beautiful and skilled, marry such a tired guy?"
"Cao Youxue!"
Guo Jia was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
But Mrs. Guo smiled even brighter, "Uncle said it right, Fengxiao is very tired on weekdays. You asked him to go to Mr. Zhang to check on his health before, but he refused... Humph, fortunately, Mr. Zhang looked at me
For the sake of his uncle, he personally came to diagnose him and finally put his mind to rest. Don't pay attention to him! I tell you, the Zi family is currently busy looking for someone to write his father's "Shangshu Zhangju" and "Exegesis of the Three Rites".
If you can help him print these two books, the Lu family will definitely be grateful, and it will naturally be easier for them to talk."
When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately laughed...
