All the people of the Han Dynasty were cheering for Cao's army to destroy Wuhuan, the three counties that ravaged Youzhou; if Liu Biao and Sun Quan chose to attack Cao Cao at this time, they would definitely be cast aside by all Han people, and even cause huge internal conflicts.

After all, in front of the righteousness of the nation, the infighting among the Han people can only always be ranked after the righteousness.

......

In the quiet and quiet bamboo forest, Zhuge Jin was discussing the world with celebrities from Jingzhou.

In addition to Zhuge Jin, Cui Jun (styled Zhouping), Yingchuan Shitao (styled Guangyuan), and Runan Mengjian (styled Gongwei) were present here. As for their friends Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, they have already gone to Runan alone.

"Everyone, Cao Cao has quelled the troubles in the north. I think he will take the momentum of a big victory and go south brazenly in a short time!" Zhuge Jin said halfway, and looked up to observe the reactions of everyone.

However, to Zhuge Jin's disappointment, none of this group of elites expressed their thoughts on their faces.

"If the skin is not there, the hair will not be attached...My Lord Jing Sheng, now is the time to need your help!"

Since Zhuge Jin came to Liu Biao's place, he was loved and valued by Liu Biao not only because of his old friend's son, but also because of his outstanding talent and character.

In order to repay Liu Biao's kindness, Zhuge Jin also wholeheartedly advised Liu Biao; not only that, but also mobilized his own connections to attract talents for Liu Biao everywhere.

The previous Xu Shu was recruited by Zhuge Jin to Liu Biao's sect with great effort, but because of his poor background, Xu Shu never got the favor of Liu Biao.

When Zhuge Jin, who was traveling around, got Xu Shu's resignation as an aide and wanted to keep Xu Shu, who knew that Xu Shu seemed to have evaporated from the Jingzhou world, and no one could be found no matter how hard he searched.

What Zhuge Jin said was very obvious, and Cuizhou Pingping couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he could only reply: "Ziyu...Cao Gong is now sitting on Chong, Xu, Yu, Yi, and a whole five The land of Zhou has already become the most powerful prince in the world. In addition, he has Lu Bu and Ma Teng to help him, who else in this world can stop Duke Cao?"

"That's right!" Shi Guangyuan interjected, "Wuhuan in the three prefectures has been put to death. This is a rare victory for the Han people in the past hundred years. Moreover, Prime Minister Cao loves the people like a son, and the officials under his rule are clean and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment... Such a hero, why should we fight against him?"

Zhuge Jin glanced at Shi Guangyuan, knowing that this brother might already be planning to join Cao Cao.

But he was still a little unwilling, so he persuaded again: "You are all great talents in Baofu, and Cao Cao's advisers are like rain, even Yuan Shao's adviser Xu You is not ranked among Cao Cao's advisers. ..”

After Meng Gongwei took a sip of tea, he chuckled and said, "Hehe... Ziyu, what do you mean, we are not as good as Xu You?"

As soon as Zhuge Jin said that, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly explained: "No! You are all great talents, but even if it is gold, someone needs to dig it! Cao Cao has many capable people, when will you Can you find a chance to get ahead?"

"But I heard that Lu Yan appointed Wei Kai, Jia Kui and other people in Hedong County alone, and Prime Minister Cao also appointed Du Ji to serve as the prefect of Hedong County alone.

Among them, there are descendants of famous families, and there are also sons of poor families, but without exception, they have all been reused by the imperial court!

Tzuyu, you said that talents have no chance to succeed under Prime Minister Cao... But I think that under Prime Minister Cao, talents have more chances to succeed under Prime Minister Cao than under Liu Jingzhou? "

Shi Guangyuan's words made Zhuge Jin speechless.

How talented is Xu Shu?

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao ran away in anger.

Based on the friendship between these three people and Xu Shu, it is naturally impossible to have expectations for Liu Biao.

"Alas... It seems that today is another trip in vain." Zhuge Jin couldn't hide the sense of loss in her heart.

But what disappointed him the most was that Cao Cao had shown the appearance of devouring the world, and no one could tell how long Jingzhou could protect itself.

at this time,

A voice suddenly came from a distance, "Hey, didn't you guys say you were going to leave Jingzhou earlier, why are you sitting together again today?"

When Zhuge Jin heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

When Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei heard that the visitor broke their minds, a trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"Cough cough..."

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

Shi Tao and Meng Jian used coughing and tea to ease their embarrassment, but Cui Zhouping was not used to him, and asked instead: "Shi Yuan, aren't you going to Jiangdong too? Why haven't you left yet?"

The person who came was Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, who was from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, known as Fengchu!

Pang Tong was the person Zhugejin wanted to visit the most during this trip, but it was only when he happened to meet Cui Jun and others that he temporarily thought of recruiting talents for Liu Biao.

Unexpectedly, not only these three people have long thought of leaving Jingzhou, but even Pang Tong, a local, wants to abandon Jingzhou and switch to Jiangdong!

Pang Tong came to the table on his own, glanced at the table, and immediately said with disgust: "There is no wine, what kind of wine is this?"

"You...you don't know how to be funny!" Cui Zhouping pointed at Pang Tong and said with a sudden laugh, "Shi Yuan, when do you plan to leave?"

Pang Tong took a cup of tea from Meng Jian, drank it in one gulp, and sighed, "I went to visit my uncle and teacher earlier today, and now I have a look at you... I will leave for Jiangdong tomorrow!"

"So urgent?" Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and said to himself, "It seems that Pang Tong's actions cannot be stopped."

Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Jin, shook his head and said, "Ziyu, you are also a man of insight, how can you not see that Liu Jingsheng is just a man of success?"

Before Zhuge Jin could speak, Pang Tong pointed to the other three people present and said, "Even Yuan Zhi, who has the best temper, was angry and left by Liu Jingsheng. Who do you think can stay under his command?"

Zhuge Jin remained silent. Obviously, this was also Zhuge Jin's biggest headache.

Forget it, talent recruitment is hopeless, so Zhuge Jin can only drink tea in suspense.

Several people chatted for about a quarter of an hour, Pang Tong got up, cupped his hands and said: "I will leave for Jiangdong tomorrow, there is time to get together, everyone, take care!"

Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei and Zhuge Jin stood up together and said in return: "Take care!"

Pang Tong has never been sloppy in his actions. After bidding farewell to his old friend, he turned around and left gracefully.

The four of them stood by the stone table, watching Pang Tong's leaving back, a faint sorrow of parting rose in their hearts.

"Everyone, Yuan Zhi wrote to me, inviting me to visit the Central Plains. Shi will leave later today, so I bid farewell!" Shi Guangyuan suddenly bowed and said.

Shi Tao and Xu Shu are both from poor families, and their relationship is also the best.

At the invitation of Yan Feng and Zhou Hong, Xu Shu decided to go to the Central Plains alone to find out.

As expected, Yan Feng and Zhou Hong did not lie to him. Xu Shu discovered that Cao Cao's rule was different not long after he arrived in Runan, so he immediately wrote to invite Shi Tao to go to the Central Plains with him.

Shi Tao really wanted to leave, and he was in a hurry than Pang Tong...

What else can Zhuge Jin do?He could only cup his hands and say, "Brother Guangyuan, take care!"

"Take care!" Shi Tao turned and left after saying goodbye.

As for Meng Jian and Cui Jun, after they looked at each other, they obviously had a choice in their hearts.

Chapter 395 The Celebration Banquet, How Can They Be Missed?

In the sixth year of Jian'an, the curtain came to an end in the heavy snow.

At the end of the year, except for the important officials who needed to guard various places, everyone took the time to go back to Xuchang.

Although it is impossible for all civil and military personnel to gather together, at least this new year is still very happy.

The emperor Liu Xie has obviously gained weight recently, and with his daughter by his side, it seems that he can no longer tolerate anything else in his eyes.

Under the management of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Yang Biao and others, everything in the court seemed to be in order.

The promotion of household registration and land reform in various parts of the north, under the escort of both the military and the government, is still going smoothly.

Although there are still many gentry from aristocratic families in Hebei who make troubles overtly and secretly, but Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao, so he will not be used to them.Bingzhou's aristocratic family is their best example.

A large number of students came out of Taiyuan College, and Hebei is the best place for them to practice.

They have learned countless governance theories and classic cases in the Taiyuan Academy, and they can perform their duties after taking office, and show off what they have learned in their lives!

People at this time are actually far less complicated than later generations.

As long as there are fields and food to eat, and the people can live in peace, there will not be too many problems in the local area.

When Du Ji took office, he allowed the people to deal with their own conflicts. Not only was he not looked down upon by the people, but he was even loved by the people.

After Tian Chou returned to Yan State with Cao Cao and others, he was appointed by Cao Cao as the governor of Youzhou.

Tian Chou is also a famous family in Youzhou, otherwise it would be impossible for Yuan Shao to invite him five times.

What's even more rare is that his virtuous name has already spread throughout Youzhou. Cao Cao appointed Tian Chou to sit in Youzhou.

Tian Chou also lived up to expectations. After taking office, he began to vigorously reform the local system, abolished exorbitant taxes, built water conservancy projects, and reclaimed wasteland.

Although Hebei has gone through several years of wars, after being subordinated to Cao Cao's rule, they burst out with dazzling vitality.

Farming is farming, mining is mining, those who rely on mountains eat mountains, and those who rely on seas eat seas.

The common people don't want to make a fortune, but only hope that they will no longer be displaced and experience the suffering of war.

Reasonable restructuring must have its meaning.

Lu Yan's next plan is to strengthen centralization and weaken local power.

But this kind of thing can't be rushed, it can only be done gradually, otherwise it will be counterproductive if you use too much force.

There is still a long way to go in the future, even if you have to sign up to become an immortal, there are still decades left, so why worry?

"Come on, let's have a drink together!"

"call out!"

"Bah!"

Fireworks bloomed with gorgeous and gorgeous light over Xuchang.

The common people sang and danced outside the city, celebrating their hard-won life to their heart's content.

The whole family of the Zhen family was moved to Xuchang, because Cao Pi fell in love with Zhen Mi and would marry Zhen Mi as his wife.However, although the Zhen family is an aristocratic family, it is now known as a family of merchants. As Cao Cao's successor, it is impossible for Cao Ang to marry a girl from the Zhen family.

As for Zhen Rong, the fourth sister of the Zhen family, she and Xiahou Lan met each other, and after getting in touch with each other, good things are about to happen.

Not only Cao Pi and Xia Houlan, but also Gan Ning and Zhao Xue are about to usher in their wedding.

For this reason, Zhao Yun deliberately accepted Zhao Xue as his righteous sister. From then on, Zhao Xue had a... no, a group of powerful backers like iron.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao held a celebration banquet, and everyone drank and ate meat, chatting, and it was very lively.

Among these people, Guo Jia was the one who had the most trouble.

Especially in the battle of White Wolf Mountain's surprise attack on Wuhuan, Guo Jia spoke with passion and spittle, as if he had experienced it himself.

Lu Yan has not participated in the banquet for too long, and he actually doesn't like this kind of too noisy place.

After half of the banquet, Lu Yan came outside the prime minister's mansion alone.

He reckoned that Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue, Zhou Yan and others might spend the night with Cai Yan and others tonight, so he planned to go out for a walk by himself to relax.

Lu Yan was dressed in literati casual clothes, admiring the various celebration methods of the people in the streets and alleys along the way.

This time, before he knew it, Lu Yan had already reached the gate of the city.

Lu Yan turned around and looked, and couldn't help sighing: "It's really lively! This place is much stronger than the atmosphere of later generations!"

Thinking of his own era, Lu Yan couldn't help feeling a little dazed, "It's been more than ten years since I came to this world... I don't know how the family members in that world are doing now..."

"Sir?! Why are you here!"

Just when Lu Yan was in a trance, a voice of surprise and surprise came from behind him.

Lu Yan turned around and saw that it was Yan Feng who led some brothers from the Jiazi Camp of the Shadow Guards back to Xuchang.

"Yo! It's Yanfeng!" Lu Yan raised his hand to say hello, and asked, "Didn't the letter say that you should return to Xuchang yesterday? Why did you arrive now?"

Yan Feng led the shadow guards to Lu Yan and saluted before replying: "Mr. Hui, my subordinates indeed returned to Yingchuan yesterday. However, we went to Xu Shu's hometown and visited Xu Shu's family. old mother."

"You found Xu Shu?" Lu Yan suddenly became interested.

But the gate of the city is obviously not a place to talk, so Lu Yan said to Yan Feng and the others: "You have worked hard too. Since we met today, I will invite you to the best restaurant for dinner!"

"Wow!"

"Thank you Lu Hussar!"

"Thank you sir!"

Although the shadow guards have a lot of salary on weekdays, due to their status and work, it is inconvenient to "fool around" outside.

At this moment, Lu Yan, the leader, personally took them to have meat, and everyone was naturally jubilant.

Speaking of the largest and best restaurant in Xuchang, it is "Wangdelou" jointly opened by Cao Cao's father Cao Song and Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De.Wang De doesn't need to explain too much, the one who is naturally prosperous is Cao Mengde.

Wangdelou benefited from the Cao family's relationship and the convenience brought by the chamber of commerce in charge of Cao Hong. It always has rare delicacies from all corners of the country, and it is a well-known restaurant in Xuchang and even the Central Plains.

When things are ready, the service must keep up; once the service improves, the price will definitely rise.

On weekdays, only some high-ranking officials, dignitaries and celebrities can come in and have a look.

For the shadow guards and some small officials, Wangdelou is an existence that is out of reach.
