"This brat!"
Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
Who would dare to behave so inappropriately in front of Cao Cao?
After Zhao Mu left, Cao Cao quietly pondered Zhao Mu's suggestion of borrowing money and grain from Cao Song through a notary.
After a long time.
Cao Cao sent a messenger to summon Xi Zhicai to discuss the matter.
Xi Zhicai was a wise man recommended by Xun Yu in Yingchuan. Although he was born in a poor family, he had good views on military and political affairs.
Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, he would discuss military and political matters with Xun Yu.
However, Xun Yu had heavy responsibilities and could not always be by Cao Cao's side to give advice. Therefore, Xun Yu recommended the poor scholar Xi Zhicai to be Cao Cao's aide.
Whenever Cao Cao had something he couldn't decide, he would ask for the opinion of the opera talent.
Not long after.
A middle-aged Confucian scholar with a calm face walked over.
"My lord!"
"Zhicai, no need to be so polite!"
Cao Cao invited Xi Zhicai to sit down and tossed out Zhao Mu's idea for Xi Zhicai to consider.
"Borrowing money and grain from the Old Great Grandfather requires a famous official to be a witness?”
"My lord, do you want to imitate Shang Yang and establish your faith in Yanzhou?”
Xi Zhicai saw through the core of this strategy at a glance.
Cao Song regarded wealth as his life. This was no longer a secret!
Among the scholars, there were many who despised Cao Song.
After all.
It was difficult for a eunuch to gain a good reputation by amassing wealth wantonly!
Even if Cao Cao was Cao Song's biological son, it was impossible for him to take Cao Song's money for free.
But now.
However, Cao Cao wanted to borrow money from Cao Song. His son wanted to borrow money from his father, and he even had to write a deed to ask for a notary to pay the interest. If this were to spread, Cao Song's reputation would become even worse!
However, Cao Cao would instead gain a good reputation.
As long as the reputation of helping the Han Dynasty was made known, with a little bit of manipulation, the news that Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, was determined to help the Han Dynasty, swept away the group of thieves, and wrote a letter to his father to ask for a notary to pay interest could be spread.
Although he was smart enough to see the treachery in it.
However, not everyone in this world had a pair of sharp eyes that could see through the world!
Even if one of the ten scholars believed that Cao Cao was ambitious and ambitious, or that the descendants of eunuchs were different from the Ten Generals, Cao Cao would still benefit!
"Lord, this plan is feasible!"
"Although the effect is not as good as Shang Yang's move, it is enough to increase my lord's reputation.”
"If the reason for the loan can be linked to the suppression of the bandits, the effect will be even better!”
"For example, the Yellow Turban who ran amok in Yuzhou!"
Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and supplemented and optimized this strategy.
He wanted to create a story of Cao Cao borrowing money from his money-minded father, Cao Song, in order to wipe out the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou.
Cao Cao was shocked." Zhicai also thinks that we should destroy the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou first?"”
？？？
Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled,"Could it be that the strategy just now was not what the lord thought of?"”
Thinking about Zhao Mu, Cao Cao was a little depressed."There is indeed someone else!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes were sharp. Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to say something but hesitated, his tone was not very friendly. He changed the topic,"Although my lord has occupied the three prefectures of Xu Prefecture, Tao Qian is still in Xiapi. If anything happens, the three prefectures will be difficult to defend.”
"As for Yuan Shu, who was originally in Yuzhou, his strategic focus has shifted to the Huainan area and he wants to fight for Yangzhou.”
"As a result, the Yellow Turbans have wreaked havoc in Yuzhou today.”
"This subordinate thinks that we should take advantage of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fighting for Qingzhou, Tao Qian's initial defeat and inability to go north, and Yuan Shu's attack on Yangzhou. This is a heaven-sent opportunity to wipe out Yuzhou as soon as possible.”
"It's best if it can be done before the spring plowing. This way, it won't delay the spring plowing in Yuzhou!”
"The Yellow Turbans plunder for a living, so they must have hidden a lot of money and food. Using the money and food of the Yellow Turbans to return the military supplies lent by the Old Great Grandfather is killing two birds with one stone!”
Xi Zhicai analyzed.
Cao Cao no longer hesitated.
Although Zhao Mu's thoughts were impure when he came up with the idea.
However, since he could benefit from it, Cao Cao could not be bothered with Zhao Mu's other thoughts!
"Zhicai, it's been hard for you to ask for Xia Ruo's opinion.”
"If Wen Ruo agrees, then I will have to trouble Wen Ruo to invite some Yanzhou officials to be the witnesses!”
"It's also good for the scholars of Yanzhou to acknowledge me, Cao Cao!”
Cao Cao twirled his short beard, and his small eyes were filled with treachery!
"This subordinate will do it now!"
Xi Zhicai didn't hesitate, he bowed and left to find Xun Yu.
At this moment.
Zhao Mu had already returned to Cao Song's new residence in Juan City.
"Jing Lue, I've been waiting for you. Let's play another game of chess!”
Seeing Zhao Mu, Cao Song was overjoyed.
Zhao Mu sat in front of the chessboard." Great-grandfather, we can play chess, but we still have to make a bet. Why don't the loser agree to a condition of the winner?"”
"You brat, you must have something to ask of me!" Cao Song laughed loudly. But this old man will fall for your tricks. Unless you win, this old man will not agree so easily!”
