"Xianmou probably noticed something.”
Although he was speechless at Li Mu's " no questions, no plans " style, Cao Cao keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Just as the opera director had said, although there was less rain this year, it was not to the extent that there would be no harvest.
The millions of Yellow Turban soldiers that had been sent over were enough to satisfy Cao Cao's military needs.
Cao Cao was not stupid.
The aristocrats of Yanzhou had been dissatisfied with the decree for a long time.
However, Cao Cao had never taken these nobles seriously.
If it wasn't for Zhang Miao and Chen Gong leading the way, no matter how dissatisfied these aristocrats were, they would have been suppressed by Cao Cao!
"Send my order, return to Juan City!"
Cao Cao appointed Cheng Yu as the Prime Minister of Dongping and left him in Fan County. He then led his army back to Juancheng.
Xun Yu of Juan City finally heaved a sigh of relief when the army returned.
Cao Cao's return meant that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's rebellion had failed!
..
Puyang.
In a small house with clear springs, the sound of zither and lyre rang out.
Lu Bu went to Xiaopei, Chen Gong fled back to Chenliu, and Xiahou Dun's 2,000 elite soldiers were once again stationed in Puyang.
To Li Mu, Pu Yang was already as stable as Mount Tai.
There is no worry inside and no disaster outside.
Li Mu once again returned to the leisurely life of guarding his little wife.
Life is full of joy, do not let your wife guard the empty room.
Li Mu didn't have the ambition to conquer the world. He only wanted to live longer than Sima Yi. He would decide whether to kill Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, the two Heaven Prodigies of the Sima Clan, depending on his mood.
As a strategist.
Why must he be so bitter and tired?
Cai Wenji also liked peace and quiet. She would not be like the Hedong Lion, who asked Li Mu to seek power and wealth and work hard to climb up.
He lost his mother when he was young and followed Cai Yong into exile in Wuhui for 12 years. During this period, his twin sister married the Yang family of Mount Tai as an extension wife. After returning to Chenliu and marrying Li Mu, she bid farewell to Cai Yong.
Soon, Cai Wenji learned that Cai Yong had died in Wang Yun's hands.
Cai Wenji was particularly attached to Li Mu because of her troubled life.
So what if he had high status and power? In the end, he would still die in the struggle for power.
In comparison, Cai Wenji preferred to accompany Li Mu in Qingquan Villa, reading, playing the zither, playing the sheng, and boating.
At this moment.
Outside the Clear Spring Villa, there were a few uninvited guests.
They were Xiahou Dun, who was stationed in Puyang, as well as Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, who had come from Juancheng.
"My lord, this is the Clear Spring Villa.”
"If it wasn't for Xianmou disliking me for being annoying, I would have wanted to live in the Clear Spring Villa.”
"Although it is located in the middle of a busy city, it is exceptionally quiet. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, but there are also no mosquito bites.”
Xiahou Dun was speechless with envy as he introduced.
Xi Zhicai glanced at the architectural layout of the Clear Spring Villa and clicked his tongue in admiration."What an amazing arrangement. The bustling city is bustling with noise, but the closer we get to the Clear Spring Villa, the quieter it is. I wonder who designed this Clear Spring Villa?”
Xiahou Dun guessed," I don't know the details, but there's a group of craftsmen in Puyang who specialize in building courtyards for the rich and powerful. I guess it's related to this group of people."”
It was currently August and the weather was hot.
Even Cao Cao had taken off his coat and was half-naked to cool down.
However, as he approached the Clear Spring Villa, Cao Cao felt a cool breeze that made him feel relaxed and happy.
"This must be the cold wind caused by the ice cellar and the waterwheel. Although I've heard of it before, this is the first time I've really experienced it.”Cao Cao was equally envious." No wonder Xianmou despised my house in Juancheng. It's even more enjoyable than the three dukes and nine ministers in the court."”
Xiahou Dun rolled his eyes and suggested,""Why don't my lord move the administrative office to Puyang and commandeer the Clear Spring Building to transform it into a government office?”
Xi Zhicai chuckled." General Xia Hou, don't let Xianmou know that you have such dangerous thoughts."”
With Cao Cao by his side, Xiahou Dun's courage increased by 70%.""Advisor Jun, how is my idea dangerous? I'm thinking for the lord! The lord is busy every day. Shouldn't there be a government office that is warm in winter and cool in summer to handle official business?”
Cao Cao laughed lightly." A gentleman does not snatch what others like. Xianmou has made great contributions in the Yanzhou rebellion. I have yet to reward Xianmou, so how can I covet Xianmou's Clear Spring Villa?" Yuan Rang, knock on the door!"
"Alright!" Xiahou Dun walked forward and knocked on the door of the Clear Spring Villa.
Even if Cao Cao was beside him, based on Xiahou Dun's previous personality, he would have barged in with a loud voice.
The servant guarding the door saw that Cao Cao had arrived and did not dare to be negligent. He quickly came to inform Li Mu.
The music stopped abruptly.
"Li Lang, I will prepare the dishes.”Cai Wenji stood up slowly.
Cao Cao had personally come to Clear Spring Villa to discuss something important. Although Cai Wenji was a little reluctant, she was very reasonable.
Not long after.
Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, and Xiahou Dun came together.
"Xianmou, it's such a hot day, but your Clear Spring Villa is still more comfortable!”When Xiahou Dun saw Li Mu, he greeted him casually,""When can we install an ice cellar and water wheel for the city tower so that my soldiers can cool down?”
Li Mu ignored Xiahou Dun and bowed elegantly to Cao Cao.""I didn't know that my lord would come personally.”
Cao Cao waved his hand." Xianmou, you and I are not outsiders. There's no need to care about these customs."”
The host and guest sat down.
Cao Cao went straight to the point and said,"Xianmou, I heard from Zhongde that when Yuan Rang asked you how to break Chen Liu, your plan was to raise more chickens and ducks. Cao was puzzled. Could these chickens and ducks defeat Zhang Miao's army?”
Are all the handsome readers still chasing after him?
