Chen Deng brought him a group of middle- and lower-level officials, which enabled him to quickly support and stabilize Yanzhou, which played a big role.

Therefore, Cao Cao valued the two of them very much, and treated them as honored guests and counselors, with the same status as Chen Gong and Cheng Shu.

The four settled down and Cao Cao asked: "The Marquis of Weihai sent Sun Gan to discuss with me about borrowing the waterway in Shuidong County. What do you think?"

Chen Gong and Cheng Shu looked at each other, Chen Gong said: "I think it is feasible to use the friendship between the lord and Marquis of Wei Hai as an excuse."

Cao Cao didn't speak, Cheng Shu said: "My lord, I don't know where the Marquis of Weihai is going by way? Why does his navy want to borrow my East County in Yanzhou?"

Dongjun is the place where Cao Cao started his family. This is his base camp. To put it bluntly, if Xu Ding launches an attack on Yanzhou and loses Dongjun, Cao Cao will be finished.

So this is exactly what Cao Cao was worried about. There are other places to talk about, and he can easily make excuses. After all, his friendship with Xu Ding is there.

But friendship belongs to friendship, and it is advisable to be careful in competing for the world.

As a generational hero, he is very mature now.

Chapter 451 Cao Cao's Rape

"The Marquis of Weihai is going to Hanoi on an excuse. Yuan Shao has been attacking the Black Mountain Army recently. I guess he has something to do with the Black Mountain Army." Cao Cao doesn't need to say anything about it. One of Xu Ding's wives is Zhang Jiao's daughter. The whole world knows about it.

Xu Ding has always been kind to the descendants of the Yellow Turbans, and the Black Mountain Army has the same origin as the Yellow Turbans.

It's hard to guess the connection between them.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible, it's just that Marquis Weihai needs to come to explain in person, and...my lord, we can't always watch people eat meat, and let's not drink soup ourselves!" Cheng Shu suddenly showed a hint of nefariousness. laugh.

The Black Mountain Army is said to have millions of people, and Xu Dingde's strength will inevitably increase greatly. It is unreasonable not to give some borrowing fees by borrowing Dongjun, and it is not necessary to leave a population of more than 20 to [-] for Yanzhou.

According to Cao Cao's statistics, half of Yanzhou's population has been lost. Without a population, the economy and military strength cannot grow. This will be very passive.

So Cheng Shu hoped that Cao Cao would have a dark belly and a thicker skin.

Cao Cao was very satisfied after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with Bokang's personality, he will go to Hanoi in person. I guess he is on the way here, and I, Yanzhou, should be involved in the affairs of the Black Mountain Army."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye and Chen Deng who had not spoken.

"Zi Yang, Yuan Long, what's your opinion?"

Liu Ye and Chen Deng said in unison: "My lord, we have no objection!"

"How can there be no objection? Feel free to speak up if you have any ideas." Cao Cao said.

Liu Ye and Chen Deng looked at each other, and said in unison: "My lord, we and the Marquis of Weihai have some disputes and misunderstandings, so we will not express our opinions on the Weihai matter, otherwise it will be unfair."

"Hahaha, Ziyang and Yuanlong don't need to worry, I have a good friendship with Bokang, but this is a big matter for the state and county, how can it be a big deal because of a small matter, and I believe that you two are not the kind of people who stir things up , Say what you want, don’t be afraid of inappropriate words.” Cao Cao stroked his black beard with a hearty laugh.

Liu Ye and Chen Deng couldn't resist, Chen Deng first said: "Whether Weihai is the Black Mountain Army whose purpose is Taihang Mountain or not, we should make careful preparations. The so-called intention of harming others is not necessary, and there is no ruler to guard against others. Weihai Hou Nai is the biggest vassal in the world today, and he has the ambition to swallow the sky, so how could he stop at the land of two prefectures, you should be careful that he covets me in Yanzhou."

Liu Ye said: "My lord, you should send someone to Xuzhou to investigate whether Tao Qian in Xuzhou has any troops and horses, and pay attention to any changes in Taishan County. If the Marquis of Weihai really intends to attack Guo in a false way, there must be soldiers and horses in these two places. Movement, otherwise, Yanzhou cannot be devoured."

"That's right, my lord, there must be many traces in every layout of Marquis Weihai, and he likes to use thunderous tactics to wipe out the enemy at once." Chen Deng added a reminder.

Xu Ding made a move, whether it was Xuzhou or Yangzhou, or Qingzhou, or Liaodong, he would beat up the party in one go and confiscate the entire territory.

Extremely fast and fierce, no one in the world can match it.

Cao Cao had a secretive smile on his face.

Just now, the two said that one of them would not target Xu Ding.

Now that it's all right, I'll shoot at him as soon as I come up, but Cao Cao doesn't look unhappy.

As a hero, he will not act with righteousness.

There are still basic judgments.

What the two said was not unreasonable.

If you look closely and analyze your subordinates, you will find a terrible thing.

Most of the generals or civil servants on my side have a good relationship with Xu Ding's side.

Others can say that the generals of his own family, the Cao family and the Xiahou family, are old acquaintances and old friends, and even early counselors like Chen Gong are full of goodwill towards Xu Ding.

Now there are two alternatives, Liu Ye and Chen Deng, which is not a bad thing.

It is a terrible thing to have another voice in his own camp, and Cao Cao does not want this.

It's just that he can't say it, and he can't take the initiative to be this villain, because the relationship between the Xu family and the Cao family is too special.

"Well! I believe in Bokang, he will not plot against us in Yanzhou. If there is a fight between him and me one day, I think it will be a long time later." Cao Cao shook his head and said this way In fact, he didn't know that, soon because of an incident in Xuzhou, a conflict broke out between him and Xu Ding, and they had to fight each other.

"Your Majesty, you're right! It's not too late to make a decision after Marquis of Weihai arrives." Cheng Shu stood up and said.

He knew Cao Cao better, so he came out to settle the matter.

Chen Gong also agreed.

Liu Ye and Chen Deng are naturally silent, their foundation is shallow, Chen Gong and Cheng Shu are Cao Cao's real confidantes.

They know Cao Cao's nature too well.

.........

On this side, Xu Ding had just gathered his troops and was about to set off for Yanzhou. Someone came to report: "My lord, there is a scholar from Jingzhou who wants to join the lord. I can't wait to make up my mind and come here to ask for instructions!"

"Scholars from Jingzhou, this is rare!" There are quite a few people from other prefectures and counties who voted for Xu Ding. In Jingzhou, there is currently only one half-literate and half-martial Lu Chang, but there is no scholar, so Xu Ding I was a little curious for a while, and said:

"Bring him along with the army. I'm thinking about it on the way." Before he left, Xu Ding didn't waste time for it. Now his subordinates want scribes to have top counselors, and military commanders to have super generals in command. It's hard for ordinary scholars to get in. His discernment.

Soon the army was sent out, and it was not until Xu Ding, who had left Jinan and entered Yanzhou and Jibei, that he stopped to meet the visitors.

"Xu Shu in Yingchuan has seen Lord Hou!" Xu Shu should have complained after being left alone for a few days, but he saw the majesty of the Donglai Army during the march, and when he came all the way, he saw the road conditions in Qingzhou. Dissatisfaction turned into curiosity.

"Xu Shu! Are you Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?" Xu Ding was a little surprised that the Jingzhou scholar who was left aside by him for a few days turned out to be Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying without saying a word.

Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, although Xu Shu didn't make many appearances and didn't do many things, there is no doubt that his popularity is absolutely super high, and Xu Shusong must have a lot of fans.

Xu Shu bowed and said, "Shu's nickname is Yuan Zhi, has the Hou heard of me?"

Xu Shu dared to swear that this was definitely the first time he saw Xu Ding, and Xu Ding must have seen him for the first time, and he must not know much about himself before, otherwise he would not have waited for a few days before recruiting him.

But judging by his expression and tone, he seemed to know a little about himself, which made him puzzled.

How can a person have such complicated emotions? It's weird, weird, and I can't see through it.

Xu Ding nodded and said with a smile: "I've heard, I heard that you changed your name for the sake of your friends, and that Wu Congwen specialized in learning. You are amazing. There are not many people in the world who can compare to you."
