Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 67



Taking advantage of Cai Yong's arrival, Cao Shuo continued to discuss with everyone.

Xi Zhicai said: "A few days ago, my lord was spreading money and food in Yingchuan County. The people of Yingchuan were all grateful. If my lord can send someone to recruit wise men and brave men, I might receive unexpected surprises."

Cao Shuo explained: "Although Yingchuan was the place where the Fourth World War was fought, its population is not small, and most of them are unwilling to leave. I'm worried that the effect will be minimal."

"My lord, I'm worrying too much. Most of the people who don't want to leave are from the Yingchuan family. Children from poor families like me still hope to have a safe place to study."

Xi Zhicai's explanation reassured Cao Shuo a lot. The big clans are deeply entrenched in the local area, and generally they rarely move.

"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, I don't know which one of you has a close relationship with the Zhong family and the Chen family?"

Cao Shuo suddenly thought of Zhong Yao from the Zhong family in Yingchuan, Chen Qun from the Chen family, and Guo Jia, but he didn't know if Xun Yu and Xi Zhi would recommend them.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked: "I wonder which wise man from the two families the princess has taken a fancy to?"

"Zhong Yao and Chen Qun!"

Xun Yu asked in surprise, "Master, do you know them?"

"I just heard that Zhong Yao is erudite, good at calligraphy, honest and good at strategy."

Xun Yu explained: "Zhong Yuan often served as an official in Luoyang, and he secretly cooperated with Wang Yun, Ma Rizun and others to protect His Majesty comprehensively. At present, I am afraid that he will not be able to recruit him to the lord's tent."

"Oh, what a pity!"

"My lord, don't be sad. I can write a letter to Zhong Yao to test his tone and see if he has any plans to become an official in Jizhou."

"Then I will trouble Wen Ruo."

Xi Zhicai said: "As for Chen Qun, I'm afraid the lord will be even more disappointed. His father, Chen Jiguan, worships the general of the five senses, and his family is in Luoyang. If the lord rashly appoints the Chen family, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will be suspicious. After being injured, it will not be easy to recruit again at that time, it is better to delay for a while and wait for Luoyang to change."

Cao Shuo had no choice but to give up. The two great sages missed each other like this, which is really heartbreaking.

"My lord, Lord Cai Yong has arrived!"

Under the leadership of the guards, Cai Yong came to Cao Shuo's study. Seeing many people there, Cai Yong knew something bad was going to happen today.

"Father-in-law, are you still used to living in Yecheng?"

Cai Yong replied: "Although the north is cold and not as beautiful as the south, it can still experience a different scenery."

"Let me introduce to my father-in-law. You have met Zilong, Dianwei, Zhang Yan, and Jushouou before, so I won't introduce them. These two are Yingchuan Xunyu and Xun Wenruo, and Yingchuan Xizhong Xizhicai!"

"Xun Yu met Master Cai!"

"Xi Zhong met Master Cai!"

Cai Yong replied: "I have heard a little about the talents of the two nephews in Wu County. From now on, I will make more suggestions for Jizhou."

The three of them were polite, and Cao Shuo went straight to the point.

"Father-in-law, I want you to be the governor of Jizhou!"

Cai Yong's face darkened, and he thought to himself, I knew nothing good would come here today,
"I'm not interested in being an official!"

"Father-in-law is just a name. Governance of the state is governed by literature, advice and advice are given by Jushou and loyalty. You don't have to think about these things."

"Then what do I do?"

Cai Yong asked in puzzlement, how could he feel sorry for doing this like throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper.

"I heard that my father-in-law has collected a lot of classics, how about continuing to study books? When I am free and bored, help me record some matters in Jizhou, and follow the example of Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty."

"????"

Cai Yong looked at Cao Shuo with black lines all over his head, asking me to be Sima Qian to record your deeds for you?How can I write about our relationship.

"Father-in-law, don't refuse. In fact, my son-in-law doesn't have much merit to write about now. The main thing is to collect and sort out classics, and take a few apprentices if it's okay."

Cai Yong was speechless. Just now he said to revise books, but in the blink of an eye, he made me a historian. You asked me to train talents for you before he said a few words. Your routine is really deep.

Xun Yu said: "Lord Bojie, the talents in Jizhou are dying at the moment, and my lord is eager to seek talents. If Master Cai can get a job in Jizhou, famous people from all over the world will definitely come to vote. By then, you will not be able to hold the position of the ruler for long." , Wouldn’t it be great to study hard in the future.”

Is this trying to trick me into selling dog meat?

Cai Yong agreed with a dark face, after all, he is his son-in-law, so help him if you can.

Cao Shuo looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, you select some talented young men from Jizhou to help Master Zhizhong revise his books."

"promise!"

Cai Yong is going crazy, this is not helping him with his books, he is obviously asking himself to cultivate talents for him, this calculation is too sophisticated.

"Wen Ruo, accompany Mr. Cai to reply to the letter first, and I will go back after explaining the matter here!"

"promise!"

"Wang Ling, escort some adults!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xi Zhong, and Ju Shou were left in the hall. Cao Shuo continued, "Once the eighteen princes fall apart, who should we annex first?"

He had wanted to say this a long time ago, but he was a little worried about Xun Yu and Cai Yong, two people who were loyal to the Han family, and he was afraid that they would have some misunderstanding, so he didn't bring it up in person.

Ju Shou said: "My lord, do you think the eighteen princes, with an army of nearly 50, can't take Dong Zhuo down?"

Cao Shuo explained: "Three Dukes have limited positions, and there are so many people who can't be separated. What's more, Dong Zhuo is not dead, and they have no chance."

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, pay more attention to Hanoi County!"

"Oh?"

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai curiously, this resourceful, decisive, strategizing genius was finally willing to give himself advice.

Xi Zhicai explained: "When I was in Yingchuan, I heard that the Baibo army of Guo Tai, the remaining part of the Yellow Turban in Baibo Valley in Xihe County, regrouped tens of thousands of people and instigated the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King to go to Shanyu and go out of Hedong County. Loot Hongnong County and Hanoi County."

"Dong Zhuo sent Zhonglang to suppress Niu Fu. As a result, the Yellow Turbans became powerful and Niu Fu was defeated. It must not be long before he crossed Wang Kuang's defense line and attacked Huai County!"

Cao Shuo snorted coldly with disdain and said, "It's really good at picking the time, but the Southern Huns dare to come to my big man. If we don't wipe them out, they won't be able to stop."

Zhang Yan volunteered and said: "Master, let me lead ten thousand cavalry, and I will destroy them!"

"Zhao Yun is willing to lead [-] cavalry and let them be trapped to death in Hanoi County."

"Dian Wei is willing to lead a thousand cavalry to destroy their vigor first."

Ju Shou persuaded: "The bravery of the three generals can win the victory, but now is not the best time."

Cao Shuo asked, "When will the time be right?"

"My lord, Hanoi is Wang Kuang's territory. We haven't received Wang Kuang's invitation. It's not fair to send troops to ask for the names of the thieves."

Jushou's explanation caused Cao Shuo to fall into deep thought. If he took the opportunity to invade Hanoi, the eighteen princes might collapse in an instant.

"Xizhong has a plan to satisfy the lord!"
