Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"I'm just a businessman... As for the military and political affairs, there are other people who have come to contact the general. Please forgive me, the general."

Professionals do professional things, Yuan Tan Xindao really thinks this way, so he nodded and said: "It's a certain abruptness... I hope Mr. Mi will thank the prime minister for me."

"I will definitely take...farewell for the general!"

Simpi and Mi Zhu left.

Xin Ping instinctively felt that something was wrong, but out of trust in his brother, he still didn't go into it.

Watching Mi Zhu leave, Yuan Tan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "People say Prime Minister Cao is treacherous, but I think Prime Minister Cao is a gentleman with a warm heart!"

Chapter 3 and Four: An Envoy Comes from Jizhou

Jian'an six years, January.

Although it has just snowed heavily, since entering Yanzhou, Xin Ping has been arriving in Chenliu, and he has not seen a human skeleton that was frozen to death along the way, not even a homeless man.

"This is simply... unimaginable!" The shock in Simpi's heart was beyond words.

Yanfeng, who accompanied Simpi to Xuchang, seemed to have seen through Simpi's mind.

Yanfeng, wearing a cloak and a mask, came to Simpi's side and said: "Yanzhou has a million households, Xuzhou has 60 households, plus the 40 households of Nanyang Jun, Huainan, Yingchuan, and Runan, under the rule of Prime Minister Cao , so far there is no reported case of death due to hunger and cold.”

Hearing this, Simpi opened his mouth slightly, remained silent, and thought: "If you haven't reported it, is it true that you didn't freeze to death or starve to death? That's not certain..."

Yan Feng seemed to have seen through Simpi's mind again, and continued: "Every county and county has my shadow guards secretly monitoring, no official can deceive the upper and lower."

Yan Feng's tone seemed a little deep and cold, which made Simpi shiver uncontrollably, "Supervising...supervising officials?"

If so, it would be terrible!Exercising the duties of supervising all officials, how can this group of people still have good hands and eyes?

Seeing that Xin Pi had some misunderstandings, Yan Feng explained again: "Of course not the supervisory officials... We only develop peripheral members among grassroots officials, and they only have the right to check for omissions and fill in vacancies to deliver news...

And in order to avoid favoritism and fraud, there are usually several dark threads who do not know each other in one place.

As long as you compare the information they sent one by one, the real situation will probably be clear. "

Yan Feng's words made Xin Pi nodded silently, "It seems that Prime Minister Cao still knows the power of it. With your help, Prime Minister can keep abreast of the situation in various places, and will no longer be deceived by local officials. "

"No, we are not subordinate to Prime Minister Cao." Contrary to Simpi's expectation, Yanfeng actually said that they were not subordinate to Cao Cao.

Simpi seemed a little unbelievable, and said: "Such an important and powerful organization is not under the supervision of the prime minister? Then who are you loyal to?"

To be honest, Simpi is a little confused now.With such great power in Cao Cao's territory, it doesn't belong to Cao Cao himself?

Yan Feng sat up straight involuntarily, and said: "Mr. founded us, and he once told us that we are only loyal to the people of the world!"

"People in the world?!"

"That's right... We all come from the common people, from ordinary people... We are the children of the people, so we should be loyal to the people!"

"Such remarks are unheard of!" After a while, Simpi said with emotion. "Oh, by the way, the gentleman you are talking about is..."

"The Hussar General of the dynasty, Chen Liuhou, Lu Yan and Lu Changsheng!"

"It really is him!" Simpi sighed in his heart, "In the whole world, I am afraid that this is the only person who truly puts the people first.

With him around, it would be even more difficult for the family to regain its former glory than ascending to heaven! "

Sighing slightly in his heart, he said, "I don't know whether it's good or bad to serve Cao Cao...but even Chen Gong has let go of Cao Cao, maybe there are some things that outsiders don't understand."

......

Yingchuan, Xuchang.

Cao Cao slowly put down the secret letter sent from Chenliu one day in advance, smiled at Cai Yan who was writing urgently at his desk not far away, and said, "Do you know? Yuan Tan's envoy has arrived in Chenliu County now. He is thinking now that I can send troops to Jizhou."

Cai Yan raised his head, and said in a flat tone, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as Meng De said."

Cao Cao ignited the secret letter in his hand on the flame of the candle, looked at the letter that was slowly burning, and said with a chuckle, "Of course... what this guy Yuan Tan thinks in his heart is nothing more than to let my old Cao The long spear in his hand, clean up for him Yuan Shang who is getting more and more conflicted with him."

Cai Yan was obviously a little surprised, but more puzzled, "Since you know everything, why do you still want to meet his envoy?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yuan Tan wants to use me, Cao Cao, as a spearman, and he doesn't care how much he weighs!"

Seeing the old Cao Zhizhu holding it, Cai Yan glanced at his mouth and said, "It's really miserable dealing with you guys..."

Cao Cao came to Cai Yan's side, put his arms around his shoulders lightly, and said, "It's all Feng Xiao, Zhicai and Gongda's idea. I'm an honest man."

"Don't make trouble, I'm sorting out the teaching materials." Cai Yan said, slapping Cao Cao's big hand that was gradually becoming dishonest.

Cao Cao failed, and asked angrily, "Are you going to stay up until midnight again tonight?"

Cai Yan raised his head, glanced at Cao Cao, and did not answer.

"Okay... I don't know what magic power is in the Three Character Classic that makes you so addicted..." Cao Cao shook his head and walked out of Cai Yan's room with his hands behind his back, "Oh...tonight is too long ..."

The next day.

Simpi and Yanfeng arrived at the city of Xuchang.

The two of them and the dozen or so entourages and guards behind them are all riding horses, and the formation is quite eye-catching.

A city gate guard wanted to stop him, but behind Yan Feng, a shadow guard stepped forward and handed over his badge.

After checking that the badges were correct, the guards let Kai and his group enter the city, but horses are not allowed in the city, so Yanfeng, Simpi and the others could only dismount and walk.

After about a stick of incense, they arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There were already servants waiting outside the prime minister's mansion. When they saw Xinpi and Yanfeng coming, they immediately greeted them with smiling faces and said, "Please, gentlemen! The master has been waiting for a long time!"

Simpi and Yanfeng followed the servants to the reception hall.

Before the person walked in, Cao Cao's hearty laughter came out, "Hahaha! Cao is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Mr. George is looking forward to you!"

Hearing that Cao Cao came out, Yan Feng's mission was successfully completed.

He bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Yanfeng has met the prime minister. This subordinate has completed the task, so I will go back and report to Jijiu."

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, Ang'er happens to be at home, and he often says that he still has a lot of things to ask you."

"This..." Yan Feng was a little embarrassed, but Lao Cao said indifferently: "Ang'er is also considered as half of Mr. Lu's disciple, and you are also considered as half of Mr. Lu's disciple. If students exchange knowledge, who dares to talk too much?" ?”

Yes, if anyone talks too much, you Lao Cao will tear his mouth off, right...

Yan Feng couldn't resist Cao Cao, so he had to cup his fists and say, "I obey..." Then, he followed his servants to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After arranging the meeting, Cao Cao looked at Simpi again.

Boss Cao's fiery eyes immediately made Simpi feel the air around him scorching hot.

Where did Simpi feel such enthusiasm as Lao Cao, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan Xinpi, see the prime minister!"

Cao Cao supported Simpi with both hands, looked at him with a smile on his face for a while, then took him by the hand and walked into the hall, "Come on, Cao has already prepared delicious food and wine to cleanse the dust for Mr.

Let's only talk about Fengyue today, not about business! "

"I believe you are a ghost!" Simpi cursed in his heart, but on the surface he also cooperated with Cao Cao.

"Hahaha!" Simpi also laughed, and replied: "The Prime Minister is so hospitable, it really flatters the lower officials!"

Chapter 3 and Five: Cao Cao's Arrangement

Flower sedan chairs are carried by everyone.

Cao Cao and Xin Pi had been bragging about their business for nearly half an hour, and then Xin Pi couldn't help but cut to the chase and said, "Prime Minister, I'm here this time for the sake of my eldest son... "

finally come.

Cao Cao took a sip of tea and replied: "I already know all the plans you discussed with Yan Feng... I have to say that you have planned Cao and Yuan Tan very well."

When Simpi heard the words, a cold sweat broke out from behind his back. He immediately got up and saluted, "How dare you plot against the prime minister! In today's Jizhou, the survival of the people has become more and more difficult, and it seems that they have tried their best to survive. .... I, Xin Pi, have seen this conscience suffer so much, I only hope that Jizhou and even Hebei can settle down as soon as possible!"

It has to be said that Xin Pi avoided the important and prioritized the minor, and put the survival and interests of the people ahead of his own family, which happened to avoid Cao Cao's minefield and set up a ladder for Cao Cao. .

Seeing that Simpi is also a talent for judging the situation, Cao Cao valued him even more.

Don't talk about integrity. In the face of interests, integrity is nothing at all.

Cao Cao seemed to agree with Simpi's rhetoric, so the two began to communicate in depth...

Talking from morning to night, Cao Cao and Simpi chatted for a whole day.

Even when it was getting dark, the two of them still felt a little unfinished, and there was even a feeling that they hated seeing each other late.

Even lunch and dinner were delivered to the hall by servants, and the two ate while talking.

Simpi unknowingly talked about many conflicts between the Yuan brothers, and many of the details made Cao Cao more aware of the situation in Hebei.

Cao Cao was also very satisfied with Simpi's talent, secretly thinking about how to keep Simpi behind.

They chatted until it was dark, and then Simpi left.

Cao Cao entered the palace immediately after Simpi left, intending to ask Liu Xie for a reward.

When Cao Cao saw Liu Xie, Liu Xie was playing with the little princess.

The little princess suddenly turned around while walking, and staggered towards Lao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the little princess who was carved in powder and jade like porcelain, and couldn't help but squatted down and hugged her gently in his heart.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Cao Cao let out a soft cry. It turned out that the little princess stretched out her hand and pulled off one of Lao Cao's beards.

"Giggle!" The little guy twirled one of Cao Cao's beards, giggled and walked towards his father.

Seeing this, Liu Xie burst into laughter: "Meng De, Meng De, how is my little princess?"

"The princess is mighty!" Cao Cao responded with a smile while rubbing his chin.

"That's it, I don't know whose daughter it is!" Liu Xie put his hands on his hips, seeming extremely proud.

Cao Cao came to Liu Xie's side, tilted his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have a request to ask you here."

"I know..." Liu Xie glanced at Cao Cao, and said with a trace of disgust: "Whenever you come to the palace, you ask for nothing..."

"Uh..." Lao Cao was at a loss for words for a while, but with his thick skin, this embarrassment is not a problem at all.

After adjusting his thinking a bit, Cao Cao continued: "Yuan Tan from Jizhou sent people here, saying that they want to help me send troops to attack Yuan Shang."

"Can you believe this?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao as if he was wise.

"Of course I can't believe it! But isn't this minister thinking that he can come up with a trick..."

"Hehe! Back then, Lu Yan and Guo Jia used such a trick to mess with me."

Cao Cao's face turned serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's the minister who is incapable of discipline. When I return, I will clean up the two of them and give Your Majesty a bad breath!"

"Don't say that there are some of these things, you don't come here just to bury me?"

"How can I! I have taken a fancy to the envoy sent by Yuan Tan, and I hope His Majesty will issue an edict so that I can serve him under His Majesty Xuchang."

Liu Xie squinted at Cao Cao and asked, "Who is that man?"

"Xinbi of the Xin family in Hebei."

"The Xin family...it's hard for them too..." Liu Xie shook his head and said with emotion.

Liu Xie also knew about Xinpi and Xin's family.

The ancestor of Xinpi, Xin Pu, led the whole family to move to Didao in Longxi in the early Western Han Dynasty. After that, more than 20 members of the Xin family served as important officials in the court. This was also the most glorious moment for the Xin family.

But in Wang Mang's period, most of the celebrities surnamed Xin were persecuted to death by Wang Mang, and the Xin family declined instantly.

During the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestors of Xinpi decided to move eastward to Yangzhai, Yingchuan.In the 200 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were few celebrities in the Xin family. It was not until the appearance of Xin Ping Xin Pi that the Xin family gradually improved.

Among the later more famous descendants of Xinpi, there was a daughter named Xin Xianying, who was a famous talented woman in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and predicted Zhonghui's rebellion.

Closer to home...

After Cao Cao explained his intention, Liu Xie readily agreed.

After all, after being Zhongliang who was persecuted by Wang Mang, Liu Xie is very tolerant and respectful of these descendants who are loyal to the big man.

"Let's designate Xinpi as Yilang and concurrently serve as servant."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Liu Xie's daughter ran over and begged for a hug.

Liu Xie hugged the little princess dotingly, showed half of his face and said to Cao Cao: "I am going to accompany the little princess to have dinner, you go back first, tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the imperial decree to your house."

"Ah? Your Majesty, you don't even want to invite the old minister to eat a meal?"

"It's already this hour, you should have already had dinner...My daughter must be starving, Meng De, I won't send it away!"
