[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

In August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao captured Yecheng.

At that time, Ye was the state city of Jizhou, and the household registration and wealth of the states under its jurisdiction ranked first, and its status was comparable to that of Xuchang.Therefore, Cao Cao's capture of Yecheng is equivalent to capturing most of Yizhou.

Previously, the emperor ordered Cao Cao to be the shepherd of Yizhou, but Cao Cao declined.Of course, this is just Cao's manipulation.When the emperor made the second edict, he accepted it half-heartedly.

Soon, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou.

It was already October at that time, and the weather in Xuchang turned cold rapidly.

Cao Zhi is still in class.

Most of his classes are focused and serious, and he seldom gets distracted.However, since he tried to empty himself to restore his memory a few days ago, he couldn't control himself from being distracted.

"Regarding Duke Cao's order of Xun Lingjun to go to Yanzhou, as a teacher, I would like to know what you think?"

When Yang Xiu asked this question, Cao Zhi was at a loss.He is still thinking about the meaning of the poem that pops up from time to time, who wants to torture whom or who tortures whom.After thinking for a long time to no avail, he thought of Sima Yi's big winner in Jin, and soon filtered to Guo Jia's jealousy.

After all, as we all know, the word "red" or "excellent talent" is often followed by "tianjealous". Isn't it just a description of a person who dies young?

So, will Mr. Guo die?

Cao Zhi squinted his eyes slightly, unable to express his feelings for a while.

Before he could experience and understand these subtle feelings in his heart back and forth, he felt a dull pain in the top of his head, as if he had been hit by something.

Cao Zhi was sober.

He suddenly raised his head and saw his teacher sitting cross-legged in front of the table and looking at him coldly, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.Then he turned his head slowly, not far away, Luo Ping had picked up the bamboo scroll on the ground.

Obviously, the thing that smashed itself was this.

Cao Zhi was helpless in his heart, but there was a sneer on his face.He got up and saluted respectfully, and then said honestly: "The student is wrong, please punish me sir."

Seeing Cao Zhi's expression of bitterness and hatred, Yang Xiu rested his chin with his hand and asked with a half-smile, "Where did you go wrong?"

This kind of action, this kind of demeanor has almost become Yang Xiu's signature.It's just that every time he saw such a look, Cao Zhi always felt more and more helpless.

Especially recently.

In fact, since the brewing incident a few months ago, Yang Xiu has been treating him in a strange way.Today's attitude is considered gentle on earth.

He lowered his head slightly, and his voice was a little weak: "Students shouldn't be distracted in class, please punish me sir."

Yang Xiu flicked his fingertips and said mockingly, "That's it?"

Ok?

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and only blinked innocently.

Yang Xiudan said: "You are the first to be distracted in class, but you can't hide from the bamboo slips thrown by the teacher. You failed, isn't it the teacher and your martial arts master?"

Cao Zhi's eyes twitched.

Then, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a smirk.

Seeing him pretending so much, Yang Xiu couldn't help but sneered and said, "You used to pretend to be cute, but it's a pity that the more you pretend, the less cute you become."

"..."

Cao Zhi hung his head and finally stopped talking.

He was trying his best to focus his eyes on the book instead of lifting it up and spraying Yang Xiu in the face!

He shouldn't have spoken.Because when Yang Xiu was in a bad mood, anything he said was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu became more and more unhappy when he saw him lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes.

Yang Xiu hooked the corners of his lips and revealed a mocking smile: "Now, my good student, can you tell me what it feels like to be abandoned?"

He was still asking Cao Cao about ordering Xun Yu to go to Yanzhou, but now he directly satirized Cao Zhi as an abandoned person.

Regarding Xun Yu's matter, Cao Zhi naturally also figured out Cao Cao's intentions.After all, Xun Yu has been the general manager of Cao Ying's rear for so many years, and he has always been stationed in the rear during the war.This trip seems simple, but if you think about it in conjunction with Cao Cao's ambition, the stakes are clear at a glance.

First of all, Yanzhou is very close to Yecheng.When Cao Cao invaded the plains and pacified the counties, Xun Yu had to follow Cao Cao back to Ye.

—and what does that mean?

When Xun Yu went to Yecheng, he would never return to Xuchang.Although Xuchang was Cao Cao's first stronghold, its status was always inferior to Yecheng in Yizhou.Therefore, Cao Cao is planning to transfer the political center to Ye.

Since he wanted to enter Ye, the final decision was to give up Liu Xie.However, it is impossible in the short term, so the Cao Mansion in Xuchang will never move out, except for Cao Pi who is in Yecheng...

Or maybe Cao Cao wanted to put them here to contain Liu Xie.

So Yang Xiu said, they were abandoned.

But will Cao Cao really abandon them?

Obviously not.

Not to mention that his family members are all in Xuchang, although he knew that Cao Chong had died young not long ago, at least he is still alive and well, and naturally he has not made up his mind about his successor Cao Cao.So to put it simply, as long as Cao Chong is still in Xuchang, Cao Cao will not give up for a day.

These things can be thought of with a little thought.So Yang Xiu's ultimate goal was just to scare him.

Cao Zhi was very helpless.

Should he despise Yang Xiu's nasty deception, or pretend he was really scared?

He finally apologized obediently: "Sir, the student is wrong."

There was some surprise in Yang Xiu's eyes.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "What's wrong with you?"

Cao Zhi sighed: "The students know that the master is doing it for the students' benefit. Even if the students were making wine and messing around before, they were just angry with the students and did not fight."

He paused, and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at Yang Xiu, his eyes were so full of sincerity that he almost overflowed: "The student has thought about it repeatedly, and what the teacher said is right. These are heresies, even if they can please father, they must not make him value students. Appreciate the students. Therefore, the students must no longer be distracted, and work hard to learn from the master, so that they can provide advice and suggestions for the father in the future!"

There was silence in the room.

Yang Xiu's long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed. He stared at Cao Zhi without any clues on his face.

He is best at seeing through people's hearts, but the student in front of him can't see through sincerity or falsehood.After thinking about it over the years, he knows that anyone's impression of Cao Zhi is that he is well-behaved and has a gentle character.Yang Xiu didn't take it seriously, but he had to admit that apart from these, he couldn't see Cao Zhi's true temperament deeply hidden in his heart.

I can only feel that Cao Zhi's feelings and everything he said are half-truths and half-false.

Seeing his sincerity at this moment, Yang Xiu still twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, leaking two words from the gap between his teeth.

"Ha ha."

Then he saw Cao Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled slowly.

The days are still as calm as water, and the only thing that is different from before is probably that there is an extra Amin beside Wang Qi.

To this day, Wang Qi has not mentioned the matter of adopting Amin again, and Amin also pretends that this has never happened, and lives in Wang Qi's home.Previously, Wang Qi dismissed the five servants in the hut, leaving only one old housekeeper.At this time, Amin also took care of the work of carrying water and chopping firewood at home.

When he was free from sword practice, Wang Qi also said words that the suspect didn't use.He thinks that the existence of A Min is meaningless, it is better to discard it early to avoid sudden changes in the future.

Cao Zhi smiled: "The teacher is too worried."

Wang Qi squinted at him.At this time, he was drinking the wine brewed by Cao Zhi, and seeing that he was confident, he couldn't help knocking on his forehead: "Smiling treacherously, who do you want to plot against?"

Cao Zhi hugged his head and said helplessly, "How can a student be so pure and kind, how can he plot against others?"

Wang Qi sneered.

"The reason why the students say that the teacher is over-concerned is because Amin is a very smart person. It is also because he is smart that in the short term, not only will he not do anything to the students, but he will also show all his intelligence to the students."

"What do you mean?"

"What the student means is that Amin is like a strong horse. The student puts a saddle on him and puts on the horse's hooves. However, whether he can be used to gallop on the battlefield in the end depends on whether the student is worthless in the future. If so, he will Follow the students; if not, he pats his ass and leaves."

Wang Qi took another sip of wine.

He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "Then you have to be careful that one day he will get out of the rein and throw you."

Cao Zhi closed his eyes and smiled: "This is a good horse. If it can be used by me, everyone will be happy. If it can't... spend some time to get rid of it."

Wang Qi let out a mouthful of alcohol: "You say so, is there a way to recover him?"

"Everyone has shortcomings, and it's much easier to use them to act."

"Oh? I'll wait and see."

"... Cough. Speaking of which, does the teacher think the wine brewed by the students is good?"

"It's okay, it's much stronger than what I drank before!" Speaking of wine, Wang Qi half-closed his eyes and enjoyed it.He straightened up suddenly, held the wine gourd vigilantly and stared at Cao Zhi, "Why, don't you want to take it back?"

Cao Zhi couldn't laugh or cry.

Wang Qi looked at him suspiciously, seeing that he had no such intentions, he couldn't help but licked his lips: "Say it, disciple."

"..." Cao Zhi trembled all over.

"Let's discuss it. How about giving the remaining jars of wine to the teacher?"

Cao Zhi's mouth twitched.

With Wang Qi's expression like this, the wine must be very good.If Cao Cao did not return for a long time, it would be nothing to give Wang Qi the wine.

It's a pity that his calculation is doomed to fail.

In December of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao entered the plains and settled the counties.

In fact, when Cao Cao besieged Ye, Yuan Tan took the opportunity to attack Ganling, Anping, Bohai, and Hejian.After Yuan Shang's defeat, Yuan Tan merged with Yuan Shang's scholars, and his ambition gradually grew.

Cao Cao first blamed Yuan Tan for breaking the promise, and then sent Yuan Tan's daughter back to Yuan's house before entering the army.Yuan Tan was frightened and retreated to Nanpi.

In the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao killed Yuan Tan in Nanpi.

At this time, Yuan Xi's troops attacked Youzhou and led the people to surrender to Cao Cao.Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang defected to Wuhuan in western Liaoning.

So far, Yizhou has settled down.

After the victory in this battle, Cao Cao did not return to Xuchang, but led his army back to Yecheng.

At this time, both Liu Biao and Sun Quan had stated that they were not restricted by the emperor.Now that Cao Cao has conquered Yizhou, if he conquers Wuhuan in western Liaoning, he can dominate the north.And on that day, wouldn't the emperor become a pure chicken rib?

How will Cao Cao treat him then?Should he continue to take over the power in the name of the emperor, or directly abolish the emperor and establish himself as the king?

While the court was tense, the moans gradually increased.However, as the emperor at the center of power, he still doesn't care about anything, relying on his weakness, hugging the beauty and living a life of drunken dreams.

The Cao Mansion was still as cold and solemn as ever, as if the government and the opposition were tense and had nothing to do with it.

It really doesn't matter.

At the end of January, Xuchang has ushered in the first touch of green in spring.

On this beautiful day, Cao Pi reported something to Cao Cao.

——Marry Zhen Ji.
