"The emperor welcomes you! In other words, there was no need to fight now. They only needed to wait for a palace to appear?”
At this moment, Cao Cao's heart was at ease.
Yuzhou was something that could be obtained at any time. Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou were connected.
Separating the north and south, Yuzhou was easily accessible. Moreover, it was Xun Yu's hometown.
"Wen Ruo, look, where is the capital?”
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed and said in fear,""I dare not speak nonsense, but the emperor has not arrived yet. Please send troops to invite the emperor to discuss again.”
"Could it be that you don't believe Bowen?"
Cao Cao snorted and laughed, his beard trembling slightly.
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed to Xu Zhen." That's not the case. It's just that when the Emperor escapes, all the vassals will welcome him. Yuan Shao is the closest person. If the Emperor can't reach Luoyang and goes to Jizhou, it will be troublesome."”
Cao Cao blinked and his mouth moved slightly. He looked at the guard behind Xu Zhen, Dian Wei, and said,""Dian Wei, go out and ask Cao Chun to send out all the tiger and leopard cavalry. We must go two hundred miles at full speed and bring the emperor back. I will go and receive him soon!”
"Hey!"
Dian Wei replied in a muffled voice.
Then, he turned around and left.
Xu Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile." The capital will be in Xu County. It will be renamed Xuchang in the future. This place is surrounded by natural barriers. We can deploy troops around it to guard against the left and right."”
"Xu County…"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and immediately knew where it was. He had studied the terrain of Yuzhou before. This territory was indeed excellent. Not only was it less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, but it was also easy to defend.
In the future, when Luoyang was rebuilt, there would be another huge and strong city beside it.
Thinking of this, he smiled at Xu Zhen and said,""Since that's the case, I'll give you all my money, food, and craftsmen. Bowen, go to Xu County and build a palace to welcome the emperor.”
Xu Zhen was stunned." Me?"
This task was probably not a good one!
Xun Yu quickly said,"My lord, I will go."”
"No, Bowen will go. If you do well, I will ask for a noble title for you, and you will be able to soar in the future.”
"This…"
When Xu Zhen heard this, he was a little eager to give it a try.
Noble title…
In ancient times, there were countless people who wanted something but could not get it.
It was already as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ordinary lesser families to enter the ranks of officials.
First of all, one had to have a certain degree of fame and make friends with the aristocrats. Then, one had to get a recommendation letter to go somewhere and do some political achievements. At this time, one was not considered an official, but an assistant.
From this, he would gain some fame and then gain the favor of an official. He would report to his superiors to recommend filial piety and honesty. After the village elected him, the daughter of the prefect or the daughter of an official of the same rank would be willing to marry him.
Only then can you be filial and honest.
This wasn't the end. After obtaining filial piety, he still needed to travel to the capital to see if there were any recommendations from the capital's major officials. If there were any, he could get an official to do it. If he wanted to speed up the process, he still needed to become a disciple of a great teacher.
Or they could attach themselves to a certain aristocratic family.
To become their disciple, even if one was a member of the aristocratic family, it would take ten to twenty years to completely stabilize.
Cao Cao had been recommended by Sima Fang to become the northern commander of Luoyang. Before that, he had also worked hard for many years to obtain the reputation of a monthly judge.
He married Bian Yu-er and other women of high status.
Even after they had children, they were demoted to Dunqiu Magistrate.
Before the 18th Route Alliance Army rebelled against Dong, he was just a small school in West Park. His background was also what the scholars called the " ugly eunuch ", which meant that he was the descendant of a eunuch. Naturally, his background was not as good as those upright scholars.
Therefore, Cao Cao knew how difficult it was to obtain a title. One had to have great contributions.
If Xu Zhen could do this well, he would be able to get such a credit.
On the other hand, Cao Cao also wanted to know if Xu Zhen could solve more problems besides the matter of Xu Prefecture.
This is the only way to convince the people.
After all, although Xun Yu respected him, Xun You did not think so. As for Cheng Yu, Xu Huang, Li Dian, and the others in the army, they were still in the territory.
Other than Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, all the other generals were critical of Xu Zhen's position. Cao Cao wanted to support him to convince the masses.
He had the same idea as Xun Yu. In the future, Xu Zhen would be the second generation's strategist.
He wanted to see if his true ability could break the shackles of the so-called Heaven Advisor Ranking.
"Bowen, do you really understand my intentions?”
Cao Cao solemnly asked again as he stared at Xu Zhen. If he could not comprehend this level, then there was no way.
After all, Cao Cao wouldn't tell Xu Zhen about his request, but he secretly conveyed his hope to Xu Zhen.
Therefore, Xun Yu had already understood.
Xi Zhicai also understood.
Both of them looked at Xu Zhen with envy.
"I understand."
Xu Zhen nodded and then smiled." I already have a solution. The palace in Xu County will definitely satisfy the emperor in less than half a month.”
"What?"
This time, it was Cao Cao's turn to be stunned.
"Half a month?"
"Not bad, half a month!"
Xu Zhen said with certainty.
Dian Wei had just walked in from the door. When he heard this, he became anxious. It started again!
He was bragging!
Aiya, General, can you stop boasting!
I can't take it anymore. In half a month, he will definitely torture me crazily again!!!
Xun Yu frowned and immediately advised," Bowen, don't speak nonsense. According to the Book of Rites, I can help you fight for three months among the Han officials!"”
"That's right. Even if it's hard labor, it'll take three months!”
Xi Zhicai was also anxious.
What do you know!
Why did he still have to act tough when he understood!
Every day, if he wasn't acting tough, he was on the road to acting tough!!!
At this moment, Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
"Bowen, you want another one or two months?”
Xu Zhen waved his hand and said," It's just to satisfy the emperor. I have a way to make sure that he won't complain. Half a month, half a month it is!"”
"If we wait for three months, those officials will truly look down on us!”
Xu Zhen smiled confidently.
