Chapter 794
According to Cao Mengde’s own ideas, he intends to settle for another one to two years, and only after he has accumulated enough knowledge, will he launch an offensive against the surrounding areas.
But when in the world, one cannot move freely.
Yuan Benchu made it very clear that he wanted him to attack Yuan Shu with troops.
Furthermore, even without Yuan Shao's instructions, Yuan Shu couldn't help Cao Mengde not respond to the movements of Yuan Shu during this period. Besides, it also involves Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Cao Mengde can't drop the chain here.
Yuan Shao, Cao Mengde, and Liu Biao are now in the same camp. Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan are another camp. Yuan Shao sent someone to tell Cao Mengde that Liu Biao would be the first to send troops to Nanyang and Yuan Shu would definitely not do it. At this time, Cao Mengde was needed to contain Yuan Shu.
In other words, Yuan Shao needs Cao Mengde and Liu Biao to cooperate to suppress Yuan Shu. The reason is that in the north, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan has reached the point where it is hard to drive.
In Cao Mengde, not only Yuan Shu, but also Tao Qian must be restrained.
For this, Yuan Shao also sent 100,000 shi grains specifically for funding.
Cao Mengde said: "I have discussed with Wen Ruo and Zhicai, and decided to act first to be strong."
Zhao Yu hearing this, after turning my mind, I understood: "Meng De means to take Nanyang?!"
"Yes." Cao Mengde stroked his palm: "Didn't you say that Nanyang can be used as a place for refining steel essence? If it falls into Liu Jingsheng's hands, Isn't it a waste. I plan to send troops ahead of time and let Zixiao occupy Nanyang first."
Cao Ren's army is now deployed in Chenliu. The nearest to Nanyang. If you want to occupy Nanyang, Cao Ren will do his part.
Zhao Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Nanyang is indeed a good place, but how do you explain to Liu Biao?"
Cao Mengde said with a big smile: "Need to explain Is it?"
Zhao Yu also laughed: "It's really not necessary."
To some extent, Cao Mengde is shouldering the burden of restraining Yuan Shu.
At best, it's nothing more than a little bit of skinny. Will Cao Mengde be afraid?
What Zhao Yu is thinking at this time is the direction of the world situation. From here, I am afraid that it will diverge from the original history.
In the original history, Cao Mengde was unable to covet Nanyang at this time. So after the military action against Yuan Shu, Nanyang fell into Liu Biao's hands again. Later in the Guanzhong chaos, Zhang Ji died in battle. Zhang Xiu led the remnants out of Wuguan and entered Nanyang, but Liu Biao was recruited to surrender, and Nanyang was handed over to Zhang Xiu to guard the north gate for Liu Biao.
There is also a matter of Cao Mengde playing the Zou family, Zhang Xiu's rebellion, and Dian Wei and Cao Ang's death in battle. But now that Cao Mengde wants to take Nanyang first, what should have happened in history is probably about to be stifled at the source.
"Although Yuan Gonglu has many soldiers, I am not afraid of him." Cao Mengde added, "It's just that I don't have enough background and manpower. Even if Yuan Gonglu is driven out of Huainan, I can't manage it. And you can’t do too much, or you will be jealous of Yuan Benchu."
He sighed: "strong in will but weak in power."
Zhao Yu A laugh: "You are not greedy. The great cause of the world, take your time. In a few years, what is Yuan Benchu?"
Cao Mengde smiled confidently: "Mr.'s right. Wait. A few years later, the treasures given by Mr. Wait are digested one by one. In this world, who can stop me Cao Mengde!" "The rare item I want..." Zhao Yu chuckled up: "You can't forget it."
"I can't forget it."
Cao Mengde laughed heartily: "It's that the busy feet don't touch the ground, and Mr. neglect. Don't worry, sir, at most one month, there will be herb rare items to send Come."
Zhao Yu was satisfied and nodded: "That's good. By the way, the types are not limited, but the quantity does not need to be too much. I can't plant them here."
Cao Mengde left. Now, take the hundred people away.
These hundred people are the seeds cultivated by Zhao Yu. After Cao Mengde takes it back, he will establish a state school in Puyang. Ten of the hundred people will be left behind, and more teachers of the state school will be brought out from the state school. At the same time, Mengxue, the foundation of the educational system under Cao Mengde's rule, will begin in Puyang and gradually spread throughout the East County to the world, from the most fundamental place, to the revolutionary era. Although Taihe Courtyard is the same throughout the seasons, the weather changes and it is no different from outside. When it should be windy, it will start to wind, and when it should rain, it will rain. It’s just snow or something, which is always impossible.
The Taihe courtyard in the rain has a unique scenery.
Under the eaves of the wooden courtyard, Cai Yan plays the piano and Zhao Yu listens. The sound of the piano, the sound of rain, the sound of wind, in this brief moment is extremely harmonious.
Zhao Yu looked at Cai Yan's delicate face with a smile on his mouth.
The relationship between the two seems a little strange. Said it is a couple, not like it. It's not like a friend. Say it's a confidant, it's not like it. It seems to be between various relationships. But intimacy is absolute and immeasurably self-satisfied.
The longer she lives in the Taihe Courtyard, the calmer Cai Yan's heart becomes, and she suddenly feels that this is her home.
Earlier, when Chen Liu came from the Cai family, he wanted to take Cai Yan back, but Cai Yan did not agree. Later, Cai Yan's mother and younger sister Cai Jin simply moved from Chen Liu and also lived in the courtyard.
Courtyard is a paradise isolated from the rest of the world. The flames of the fire outside make people unhappy, but here it is calm and comfortable, unaffected by the slightest influence.
Zhao Yu always takes the time to listen to Cai Yan’s Fuqin, and every time he doesn’t talk much, but both Cai Yan and Zhao Yu become closer together in such a unique and silent talisman tablet. Up.
The people in the courtyard have regarded Cai Yan as the Mistress of the courtyard. Zhao Yu did not deny it, nor did Cai Yan admit it. Just silently.
The sound of the piano is clear and crisp, like spring water ding dong, combined with the sound of wind and rain, like a symphony, harmonious and beautiful.
Cai Yan's mother, Mrs. Cai, didn't know when she stood at the corner of the corridor in the distance, and Cai Jin was also there. Cai Bo stood aside.
"Zhao Yu is not like a mortal, is this appropriate?" Madam Cai looked worried.
Cai Jin’s face shows yearning. She feels that the relationship between elder sister and Zhao Yu seems to be what she longs for. I forgot to say that although Cai Jin is only eleven years old, her The marriage is already on the agenda. Someone in the family suggested marrying the Yang family in Mount Tai County.
Cai Jin is not satisfied, because the other half of the sheep who wants to marry her is a widower.
And she is a widower much older than her.
But who made Mount Tai a famous family?
Bo Cai whispered: "Madam, the lady is already suffering enough, let her..."
Ms. Cai slightly startled and sighed: "Well... "
Then he said: "But they can't do this, Old Cai, when you invite Zhao Yu, I will tell him."
"Yes, madam "
...
In other words, Zhao Yu and Cai Yan are where water flows, a canal is formed.
When Zhao Yu announced that he was going to marry Cai Yan, no one in the courtyard was surprised. Before Mrs. Cai called him over, straight to the point asked him what he thought about it and whether he wanted to get married. Zhao Yu naturally wants to get married. After Mrs. Cai asked Cai Yan again, the matter was settled. It was plain and flat, and there were no waves at all.
But it is this plainness that is the most real.
Go to this step, it is indeed where water flows, a canal is formed. Zhao Yu didn't deliberately pursued it, and Cai Yan didn't deliberately think about it, so he walked step by step. It is the listener and the listener, the friend and the confidant. Don't need so much vigor.
Zhao Yu doesn't need it, because his temperament is almost natural.
Cai Yan doesn't need it, because she has experienced it.
Since we are married, of course we have to take care of it. Zhao Yu and Cai Yan worked together and made some invitations. It is mainly to invite Cao Mengde and other familiar people, no more than 20 people in total. As for Cai Family, Cai Yan meant it was inconvenient to bother.
Zhao Yu didn't care either.
When Guan Hai sent the invitation to Puyang, Cao Mengde’s family members also moved from Qiao County.
Receiving the invitation, Cao Mengde said with a big smile to the left and right: "Mr. Zhao is finally getting married!"
He said to Guan Hai again: "You go back quickly and tell Sir, I'll be there tomorrow."
Last time Zhao Yu mentioned to Cao Mengde that he wanted to accept the discíple. How could Cao Mengde dare to delay? So he simply moved his wife and children to Puyang. It's almost a month, just arrived today. After dismissing Guan Hai, Cao Mengde said to Dian Wei next to him: "Call me up first."
After a while, Cao Chun arrived.
Cao Mengde's next General, Xiahou Duntun stationed in Mount Tai, to guard against the influence of Xuzhou Tao Qian and Qing State Gongsun Zan. However, Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin are in Peiguo, and they are about to launch a military operation southward against Yuan Shu. Cao Ren is in Chenliu, and Cao Hong and Cao Chun are both in Puyang.
Cao Chun is very much used by Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde formed a steel armored cavalry, named Tiger Leopard, and Cao Chun commanded him, waiting for Cao Mengde's dispatch at any time. "Big brother."
Cao Mengde nodded: "Mr. Zhao is going to marry Miss Zhaoji, and I will be there tomorrow. I said before that I want to collect discíple, you go to Yuanrang, Miaocai, Zilian, Zi At Xiao Mansion, choose one and take it with you tomorrow."
When Cao Chun heard this, he laughed: "Yes, brother."
An invitation from Guan Hai, They are all here in Cao Mengde. In addition to Cao Mengde, Xiahou brother and Cao brother both have a copy. But they are inseparable now, they can't go. also Chen Gong, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, etc., Zhao Yu recognized, also have an invitation.
So Cao Mengde asked Dian Wei to go there in person and send the invitations to everyone's house. When Dianwei sent the invitation to Xunyu's mansion, Xizhi was there.
Dianwei met with Xun Yu and held out the invitation card: "Xun Changshi, this is an invitation card from Mr. Zhao."
Xun Yu voted for Cao Mengde, first for the other Sima After Cao Mengde took control of Yanzhou, he was appointed as Chief Shi of the prefecture and herdsmen, and Cao Mengde's military and political secrets as Counselor. So Dian Wei called him a long history.
Under Cao Mengde's command, the civil servants are now headed by Xun Yu. Even Cheng Yu had to lower his head. In the past year, it is precisely thanks to Xun Yu that Yanzhou has passed the transitional period of power alternation smoothly. With great credit, Cheng Yu and others are willing to bow down.
Xun Yu hearing this, took the invitation with both hands, opened it, and gently said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Zhao wants to get married."
then said: "If the lord wants to Go, it’s inconvenient for me to go. I asked Steward to prepare a gift and send it to the lord’s mansion later. I’ve troubled the lord and told the lord to take it for me and talk about it."
