    "The Marquis of Linzi - Cao Zijian pays homage to Grand Sima - all attacks are invincible and all battles are invincible"

    "No need, sit down, what is the purpose of the Prime Minister sending you here?"

    The fourth son, Cao Zhi, appeared, wearing a red gold crown of eight treasures, a white fox fur cloak, and a three-foot green-edged sword on his waist. He had an extraordinary handsome appearance and a noble and elegant temperament. He was worthy of being the prime minister's beloved son and a dragon among men!

    But after entering the tent, the dragon turned into an insect in an instant. Cao Zhi walked a few steps, took the initiative to bow and salute, his fists almost touched his feet, and before saluting, Cao Zhi was used to touching  He lowered his butt, looking like he was still frightened!

    It turns out that when Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were young, they were trained in the Xuanjia Army, sleeping in the fields, eating coarse grains, practicing martial arts and charging into battle with the soldiers. If they were slightly dissatisfied or did not do well enough, they would be punished by Xiao Yi.  The spur!

    Among the three brothers, Cao Zhi received the most whippings. His buttocks were red and swollen all day long. He could only sleep on his stomach at night, which left a psychological shadow. Whenever he saw Xiao Yi, he would habitually touch his buttocks.

    Not only the fourth young master Cao Zhi, but also Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Xiong and other young masters all respected and feared Xiao Yi. Many of them had been taught a lesson. Only Cao Chong, who was loved by thousands of people, had learned from Xiao Yi.  Smiley face, it's a pity that this child prodigy is getting worse and worse.

    "The great Sima, armed with strong force, defeated Sun and Liu Ni, and defended the cities of Xiangyang, Nanyang, and Zhangling counties. The Prime Minister was very happy when he heard the news, so he sent Zijian to send some pigs, sheep, and fine wine to reward all the soldiers.  They!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "For this reason, the Prime Minister has trouble sleeping and eating, and he has lost a lot of weight. I heard that Da Sima discovered a large amount of mineral deposits in Runan County on his way back to the army. Now saving the people is like putting out a fire. Can some of the profits from the mines be divided and turned over to the national treasury?"  "

    While he was talking, Cao Zhi took out a letter, which was handwritten by his father Cao Cao. The letter praised Xiao Yi and all the soldiers. He would definitely receive many rewards and promotions when he returned to Xuchang. At the same time, he implicitly made a request: half of the profits from the mine.  , to enrich the treasury!

    The Cao family and his son also knew that asking for half of the profits from the mine would be a big deal. However, the court was in urgent need of money for disaster relief, so it could only be shameless once. After Xiao Yi returned to Xuchang, he could make up for it in other ways!

    And before entering the camp, Cao discussed with a "confidant adviser" and knew that Xiao Yi was overbearing and would not let go easily, so he prepared several plans to adapt to changes:

    Cao Cao is old and frail, and it is imperative to establish the throne. If Cao Zhi can facilitate this and quell the civil unrest across the Central Plains, his prestige will be greatly increased, and his hope of seizing the throne will be even greater!

    More importantly, Cao Zhi wanted to take this opportunity to show off his talents and gain recognition from Xiao Yi, who would then support him in ascending to the throne and becoming the heir apparent of Duke Wei!

    Xiao Yi has a high position and a lot of troops. As long as he is willing to give his full support, Cao Zhi will be sure of the brothers' struggle to seize the throne. However, his confidants also said: Xiao Yi is independent and treats the Cao brothers equally. He wants to persuade  I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy for him!

    It doesn¡¯t matter, Cao Zhi just needs to enter the military camp, stay there for a few days, and then ¡®communicate¡¯ with Xiao Yi privately a few times. Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, he only needs to publicize the matter and create the illusion that the two are close

    Xiao Yi is not only a high-ranking official, but also a bellwether for the imperial court. Knowing that he is "close" to Cao Zhi, those wavering ministers will support Cao Zhi one after another, forming a huge force.

    At that time, whether Xiao Yi wanted it or not, he was pulled on board by Cao Zhi. No matter what Cao Cao's original intention was, for the sake of the overall stability of the country, he could only pass the throne to Cao Zhi. This was to use his strength to gather momentum and use his strength to ascend to the throne!

    Thinking of this, Cao Zhi cheered up and just waited for Xiao Yi to refute, so he would give an eloquent speech to show off his talents. If he was lucky, he would not only get Xiao Yi's support, but also convince the other generals!

    "Haha - why should the Prime Minister worry about some trivial matters of money? The mines belong to the country, and it is natural for them to be turned over to the national treasury!

    Zijian returned to Xuchang quickly. Prime Minister, please rest assured that all the first profits from the mine will be used to relieve the people. After that, half of the monthly profits will be turned over to the national treasury, and the rest will make up for the shortcomings in the army!  "

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Xiao Yi didn¡¯t bargain at all and directly handed over half of the mine¡¯s profits. He also asked Shi Tao to check the accounts on the spot and send the recently acquired money to Xuchang as soon as possible!

    The profits from the mine are huge, and everyone is jealous when they see it, but Xiao?It is even clearer that money should be obtained in a proper way and used in a proper way. Nowadays, civil unrest is happening everywhere. It is a time when money and food are urgently needed. How can I be stingy? The world belongs to the Han family and the Cao family.  It¡¯s also from the Xiao family!

    "And after two years of war, the imperial treasury was indeed empty. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's magnanimity, he would not have just sent some pigs, sheep, and fine wine to labor the army. It is estimated that these things would have been saved by gritting one's teeth!"

    What¡¯s more important is that Xiao Yi saw that Cao Zhi was ¡®unkind¡¯, so he agreed to the request without giving him a chance to speak. He also asked him to report back to the Prime Minister immediately, which was tantamount to expulsion in disguise!

    Regarding the fight between the Cao brothers, Xiao Yi's attitude is very clear: he will not support, oppose, participate, or interfere, nor add to the cake or add insult to injury. As long as they do not fight each other, he will happily stand by and watch!

    "The Great Sima understands righteousness, which is admirable. Well I have come after a long journey and am very hungry. Can I reward you with some wine and meat?"

    Cao Zhi held back all his strength and wanted to have a good argument, but he didn't expect that he agreed immediately. The lines he prepared were all useless, just like a punch hitting the empty space. Forget about the discomfort!

    But I was really unwilling to turn around and leave, so I blushed for a long time and shamelessly prayed for a meal of wine and meat, hoping to find a suitable opportunity during the banquet to realize the purpose of my trip!

    "Haha - I heard that Zijian often got together with scholars and drank all night long. I think he has a good drinking capacity. Today is a good time to learn how to serve good wine and take a big bowl!"

    "No!"

    With Xiao Yi waving his hand, the soldiers presented them with the best wine, which was fragrant and refreshing. However, the best wine is often the strongest wine!

    The wine bowl is surprisingly larger, with a white mouth and a black bottom, deep and thick, filled with at least a pound of wine, and paired with golden barbecue, showing the ruggedness of the military!

    "The army has returned triumphantly and will be reunited with their families soon - let's have a bowl first!"

    "Done!"

    "If a soldier kills the enemy and performs meritorious service, the court will definitely reward him with great rewards - one more bowl!"

    "Done!"

    "The profits from the mine are huge, and 30% of them supplement the needs of the army. The soldiers have no worries about food and clothing, and they have done two bowls in a row!"

    ¡°It¡¯s done¡ªit¡¯s done!¡±

    After the banquet started, Xiao Yi kept toasting and drank bowlfuls of strong liquor without even eating a bite of the food. The civil and military officials in the tent also drank heavily. The army often set up wine to celebrate achievements, and everyone's drinking capacity was fully developed.  !

    In this atmosphere, Cao Zhi could only drink strong liquor together. For fear of being despised by the soldiers, he drank very quickly and cleanly, and the bottom of the bowl was bright when he finished it!

    It¡¯s true that Cao Zhi often attended banquets, but when he got together with the scholars, they drank golden bottles of liqueur, recited poems, and had beauties singing and dancing to entertain them. When had you ever seen such a big drink? After four or five bowls of strong wine, it was a bit  I feel dizzy and dizzy!

    ¡°The fourth young master has come from afar, and we will take care of him and have another drink!¡±

    "Fourth Young Master has rewarded the soldiers. Brothers, I am deeply grateful. Please have another bowl!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Xiao Yi winked, and his generals rushed forward, vying for the first toast. After several bowls of strong wine, Cao Zhi felt weak and fell down on the couch. As for the speech he had prepared, he could only chat with Duke Zhou.  !

    Seeing that Cao Zhi was drunk and unconscious, Xiao Yi sighed deeply, took out a volume of "Zuo Zhuan - Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan" from the commander's case, stuffed it into Cao Zhi's arms, and then asked people to send him out of the camp and give it to his followers.  Went for resettlement

    Zuo Zhuan records: "Gong Zheng Wu married Mrs. Jiang and gave birth to the eldest son - Wensheng and the second son - Gongshu Duan. Because the eldest son was a difficult child (the feet came out first, so he was named Wensheng), he was not loved by Mrs. Jiang.  Favoring the younger son at every turn!

    Uncle Gong Duan was smart, talented in both civil and military affairs, and was deeply loved by his mother. Therefore, many people thought that he would inherit the throne of the country, and they came to flatter him one after another. As a result, before Zheng Wugong died, he passed the throne to his eldest son Huansheng.  , that is, Zheng Zhuanggong!

    Many people know what happened next. Duke Zheng Zhuang used the method of playing hard to get to cultivate his brother's ambition little by little, leading him to embark on the path of rebellion. Finally, he sent troops to attack him, forcing his uncle Duan to commit suicide. However, Duke Zheng Zhuang worked hard to rule and became the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period.  Little overlord!  ¡¯

    Cao Zhi¡¯s current situation is quite similar to that of Gongshu Duan. He is just a bait thrown by the traitor. He wants to test the reaction of the ministers and then clear the obstacles and pave the way for the true heir!

    Poor Cao Zhi has great literary talent but does not understand the insidiousness of politics. The more proud he is now, the more miserable he will be in the future, just like in the original history, he died young at the age of forty.

    In any case, he is his brother-in-law after all. For the sake of his wife Cao Jie's face, Xiao Yi did not support him and could not ignore death, so he sent a volume of "Zuo Zhuan - Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan". As for how much Cao Zhi could understand  It depends on the size of his creation!

    After the interests of the mine were distributed, the matter came to an end. Xiao Yi ordered all the troops to set up camp tomorrow and return to Xuchang to reunite with his relatives

    As for the affairs of Pingdingshan, Shi Tao was left in charge, and three thousand veterans and wounded soldiers were transferred and kept to protect the mine. These people have various disabilities. If they return to their hometown, they may not be able to make a living by farming.  , either starve to death or become a thief!

    Although I can no longer fight on the battlefield, I can protect the mine without any problem, and I can also receive a generous amount of money and food, so I can live the rest of my life safely. It is the best of both worlds!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Even though he was holding on with his hands, he could not ignore death, so he sent a volume of "Zuo Zhuan - Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan".
