"Governor Xu, East County will be relying on you from now on.”
In the Xuchang Provincial Governor's residence, Cao Cao made a teasing bow to Xu Chuan.
This was his so-called gift, the East County Governor, Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan sighed helplessly. He was really uncomfortable wearing the prefect's uniform.
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
"Hmm?"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows." Looking at Yunxiao, it seems that he is not satisfied with this gift?”
To be honest, Xu Chuan was not very satisfied. He was just a salted fish.
Fortunately, Cao Cao also knew that managing a prefecture was different from making plans on a daily basis. Therefore, he arranged for many internal affairs experts to be given to him, so that he did not have to spend all his time in the prefect's office dealing with official documents.
"It doesn't matter!"
Without waiting for Xu Chuan to speak, Cao Cao revealed a smug smile." Then let's see how this gift is."”
Cao Cao waved his hand, and a group of women walked in and stood in front of Xu Chuan in two rows. They bowed and said," Greetings, Mayor Xu."”
Good fellow!
There were more than 20 people, all of them young women, giving off a sense of deja vu.
Xu Chuan was speechless.
Just a few days ago, Cao Cao had sent dozens of girls for Xu Chuan to choose from, but he had sent them all back.
It wasn't that Xu Chuan didn't like women, but it could only be said that Cao Cao's taste was really not good.
Cao Cao, who was rejected, secretly calculated in his heart. If he didn't like girls, could it be that Yunxiao was like-minded with me? Otherwise, why would he be so congenial with me?
Therefore, he found another group of young women to come over.
"Can we not make a scene, my lord?"
Xu Chuan glanced at her. She was fat and slim, but not pretty enough.
Not satisfied?
An expert was indeed an expert. His standards were indeed high.
Cao Cao waved his hand and the young women retreated.
"Alright, my lord, you don't have to worry about these things. I can solve them myself.”
"Let's talk about serious matters. How is Zhang Miao?”
Xu Chuan threw his official hat to the side and sat down on the cushion.
Cao Cao frowned and bit his lower lip,
"This matter is not easy to handle."
"Yunxiao, do you know that I went to Zhang Miao's territory, Chen Liu, to recruit soldiers before I attacked Dong? At that time, he even took me in, and I was finally indebted to him.”
"Moreover, during the period when I was appointed as the Prefecture Overseer of Yanzhou, he was the first prefect to express his support for me. It was precisely because of his leadership that the other prefects followed.”
"If I attack him, how will I nurture my subordinates in the future? I'm afraid no one will submit to me.”
Of course, Cao Cao knew that no one in Yanzhou was better than Xu Chuan in terms of judging people and things.
In fact, when Xu Chuan mentioned that he wanted to get rid of Zhang Miao, he was already hesitating.
However, Zhang Miao was not Liu Dai, after all. There was no excuse to make an attack on him. It might cause a rebellion.
Xu Chuan rubbed his chin and pondered.
It was also true that Zhang Miao did not make any big mistakes at this stage. It could only be said that Zhang Miao in history launched a rebellion when Cao Cao was attacking Tao Qian.
However, Cao Cao might not believe these things, so he could only use him as an example.
"My lord should know very well that he took you in previously because he wanted to rope you in. After all, the feat of assassinating Dong has already made my lord famous all over the world.”
"Putting this aside, my lord, don't forget that he is also one of the eighteen vassals. Would you believe that he has no ambition?”
"Moreover, he was also involved in the matter of snatching the jade seal.”
"Keeping him by your side is equivalent to keeping a wild wolf by your side.”
These few words made Cao Cao fall into deep thought as he stared straight at Xu Chuan.
"The Lord said that you and he are good friends…"
Xu Chuan smiled and said disdainfully,"Then I'll give my lord a word."”
"When a friend fails, you will feel sad for him. But if your friend succeeds, you'll be even sadder…"
Cao Cao's pupils constricted.
When a friend fails, you will feel sorry for him. If your friend succeeds, you'll be even sadder…
These words sounded like a fantasy story, but one could understand the philosophy behind them after carefully pondering.
Take Dong Ci for example. Zhang Miao had lamented countless times that if Cao Cao could succeed, the world would be settled.
And now, he was carrying the banner of helping the Han, and his reputation was getting bigger and bigger. From a fugitive who needed to rely on him to his current master, how could he not be sad?
"I really didn't expect you to say such words at your age…"
Cao Cao was very shocked. Making plans could be explained by talent, and healing the enemy could also be explained by luck.
However, without a certain life experience, one would not be able to understand the profoundness of the words just now.
Sometimes, he really wondered if Xu Chuan had some kind of immortal encounter. Otherwise, how could he have such a talented person?
It could be said to be a once-in-a-century encounter…
"Of course, it's impossible to kill Zhang Miao.”
"I suggest that the lord appoint him as the governor of the prefecture. This way, he can only go to Xuchang to take up his post, and he will have to hand over the ten thousand soldiers of Chen Liu.”
"If he refuses, then my lord can rightfully take action.”
Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, Xu Chuan struck while the iron was hot and told him the solution.
Cao Cao paced back and forth, still struggling mentally.
Based on Zhang Miao's current performance, he didn't seem like he would betray them.
But Cloudsky's eyes when looking at people were never wrong either.
After a while, Cao Cao stopped and nodded,"
"Alright, as you say, I will ask Cao Ren to call Zhang Miao to Xuchang.”
If he had to choose between Zhang Miao and Xu Chuan, Cao Cao would definitely choose Xu Chuan without hesitation.
Moreover, since he had said it this way today, if he did not take back Zhang Miao's military power, with his suspicious personality, he would probably not be able to sleep for a long time.
"Lord, Lord Xun and Lord Cheng are here.”
A guard ran over to report.
Cao Cao and Xu Chuan looked at each other." My lord, I'll return to the manor first."”
Since the two of them had come together, they probably had something important to discuss.
Xu Chuan felt that he would have a headache if he stayed. He would go back to catch butterflies with Xiao Mei and recite poems with Cai Yan at the Cai residence. Wasn't it fragrant?
After Cao Cao grunted, Xu Chuan stopped and turned his head.
"By the way, my lord, I want to recruit a few guards.”
"That's simple. You can choose anyone from the Guards Battalion and the Valiant Cavalry Battalion.”
Cao Cao didn't understand. Forget a few, even if you wanted hundreds, I would give them to you.
Moreover, you have always had a group of experts protecting you in secret. You just don't know it.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. After Zhang Miao's matter is settled, I'll just choose one of his generals to be his guard.”
After saying that, Xu Chuan left.
"This kid, could it be that he's afraid that I'm just patronizing him?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh. He thought that Xu Chuan would only feel relieved after seeing him take Zhang Miao's military power.
