He was the same as Liu Bei, Sima Yi, and Cao Cao.
He only thought about it after the effect was achieved.
Because he had never thought of it that way.
"Fengxiao, would you believe me if I said I really didn't mean it that way?”
"I believe you."
Ever since she asked questions like " Why did the apple fall to the ground?" and " The world we live in is a ball," Guo Jia had the same reaction to most of the things Xu Zhen said.
It was probably," Don't explain. I believe you. Just say it. I believe everything."
He immediately secretly gave Xu Zhen a thumbs up and said in a rather refined voice,""Sir, as expected of you. A simple arrangement can have such an effect.”
" Tsk, you..." Xu Zhen didn't know what to say. You're the last hit, bro...
At this moment, someone couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Everyone!"
A loud voice rang out in all directions, causing all the whispering Confucian scholars to look at the starting point of the Moon Bridge. The white-robed scholar directly stepped onto the bridge.
His aura was majestic. He looked thin, but no guards dared to stop him. He took a few steps and turned around. His face was filled with anger as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
"I'm Yang Xiu!" Yang Dezu."
"Everyone just said that I relied on my father to threaten Xu Jing. Brother Xu Shao should be slandered! I privately think that this month's evaluation is to evaluate the younger generation, and Lord Xu's achievements are so great that there's no meaning to evaluate him.”
"Therefore, why not use it as a bait to lure us out?”
"In the Yangtze River, the younger generation surpasses the older generation. We haven't even entered the official ranks, but we already have an extraordinary reputation. If there's a chance, we can serve His Majesty and the Great Han Dynasty! Why do you belittle yourself? What Lord Xu can do, I, Yang Xiu, might be able to do. It's just that I was born at the wrong time.”
"If everyone thinks that I, Yang Xiu, am not worthy of such a reputation! Please come up and talk to me, and also invite Guo Fengxiao of Yingchuan and Sima Yi of Hanoi! Come and debate!"
Yang Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on the group of talents. His eyes flickered with a bright light. His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his figure was handsome. At this moment, the integrity of a Confucian scholar was vividly displayed.
Actually, he had no choice.
At the same time, he hated Xu Zhen to the core.
If Xu Zhen had done it unintentionally, it would have been fine. However, if he could set up this trap and make his father fall into the criticism of the Humble Class scholars, Cao Cao and Xu Zhen would raise their arms and call for all the Humble Class scholars to become their disciples.
They would definitely not join the Grand Commandant, which would weaken Han Chen's power.
He was very afraid of this.
Such a move seemed to be very simple, but it directly killed his father.
What a powerful Lord Xu.
Yang Xiu didn't dare to underestimate Xu Zhen anymore. He had thought that Xu Zhen's mysterious reputation was just a name created by Cao Cao after he entered Yanzhou.
In order to recruit more scholars and Confucians.
However, he did not expect this move.
He knew that he could see through many schemes, but he suddenly fell into the trap. Only then did he realize that this person's schemes were really obscure. If he was not careful, he would fall into the trap.
One had to tread on thin ice when playing against such a person who could be called a "chess player".
Therefore, even if he bore the infamy of being arrogant, Yang Xiu had no choice but to step forward and shoulder the consequences. At least he could preserve his father's reputation.
The title of Grand Commandant was not something to joke about.
Xu Zhen's plan was extremely powerful.
Once they entered the trap, Yang Xiu and Yang Biao would definitely lose one person.
Although Yang Xiu was smart, how could he have thought that Xu Zhen also only knew that he was so formidable now…
This was probably the most powerful trap. The person who set up the trap did not even know that he had set up the trap. It was really amazing.
……
At this moment, the entire Moon Dawn Bridge was silent.
Many of the Confucians could only shake their heads and smile bitterly when they heard this. They watched the fire from afar and did not want to get involved.
At this moment, Guo Jia stood up.
"May I ask, Sir, after the winter disaster this year, about 100,000 people from Jizhou and Youzhou came. How should we settle them next year?"”
This was a very sharp problem. If they were not properly settled, many people felt that these refugees would also become rioters in the future.
Yang Xiu heard the voice and knew that this person was Guo Fengxiao from the whispers of the Confucian scholars. He immediately bowed and said,"I believe that the refugees will not become rioters. After all, they have received Lord Xu's kindness, so they should naturally remember it in their hearts and be reborn.
Using spring plowing as an excuse, they would distribute farming tools, use water irrigation schemes to irrigate farmland, open up wasteland, and distribute food.”
"The people will stay in the camp, plowing the spring while building houses.”
"When the autumn harvest comes, we can harvest a large amount of grain.”
"Not bad, you really are a talented person. I admire you.”
Guo Jia cupped his hands and stood beside Xu Zhen without looking back.
And Yang Xiu was instantly stunned.
Had he left? Not rebuttal?
Then why did you come up and ask? To save his dignity?
He had originally planned to use this to shock Guo Jia, but Guo Jia's reaction was too relaxed. It was as if he had punched cotton.
There was no effect.
Then, he saw Xu Zhen standing beside him…
Lord Xu…
It was this Lord Xu again.
So this Guo Fengxiao was already his man?
Yang Xiu's eyes narrowed, slightly moved. Very clearly, they already knew these methods long ago.
……
After that, the other scholars asked some questions and slowly dispersed.
The Xu brothers were also silent out of fear.
After sending the scholar off, it was already midnight. It was almost time for them to go to sleep. When they turned to look at Xu Zhen, their expressions were already very strange.
He had actually…inexplicably been used by Lord Xu as a knife to set up a trap.
"My lord."
The two bowed deeply.
They didn't know what to say.
In short, he still had a good impression of Xu Zhen. However, when he thought about how his Excellency might not have been indifferent to fame and fortune but wanted to set up a trap, he felt quite troubled.
"You two, I really didn't mean that. Let's put it this way, I'm not as smart as you think.”
Xu Jing and Xu Shao were stunned and muttered,""What a good sentence, you're so smart that you're almost like a demon…As expected of you.”
"It's easy to describe."
"I…"
Xu Zhen was stunned. Forget it, he didn't want to explain.
He was so tired.
"Sir, if we can work for you, we naturally won't have any objections. If we have the chance to become your strategist in the future and work for you, we won't refuse.”
Although the two of them did not have much intention of becoming officials, if they worked for someone like Xu Zhen, they would not bring shame to their ancestors 'reputation.
To put it bluntly, Xu Zhen did not have a clan behind him. Moreover, two years ago, he was a blank piece of paper. He was just a farmer from a Maocai village. His political achievements began after he entered Cao Cao's camp in Yanzhou.
Almost all of them had good reputations.
There was also a rumor that Lord Xu was originally a military general…
At this time, most of the Confucians had already left, leaving only two girls standing on the other side of the Moon Dawn Bridge.
They were all young, but they were already slim and elegant, and they looked very noble.
Xu Zhen glanced at Queen Guo, who was beside him. No matter what, they were completely different in terms of temperament. One was very quiet, and the other was...
"Sir, hehe."
Queen Guo noticed Xu Zhen's gaze and stuck out her tongue. Her two dimples were deep and she looked quite cute.
Yes, it was very agile.
