Three Kingdoms: The most powerful behind-the-scenes boss

Caojiawu Fort. study.

Cao Cao has kept a low profile since he became a general.

Apart from dealing with normal affairs, it was like disappearing from the world.

But!

That doesn't mean he doesn't care about what's going on outside.

In fact, all the troubles in Luoyang could not escape Cao Cao's eyes!

At this moment, Cao Cao was studying, and suddenly the voice of the housekeeper Cao Ning came from outside:"Master! Master!"

Cao Cao put down the book and looked up:"But what happened in Luoyang?"

Cao Ning nodded hurriedly:"Master, a few days ago I have some clues about what you told me about the merchants in the Western Regions."

Cao Cao suddenly became nervous. because!

He knew that this was just a trick played by his son.

"Does he really dare to come out?

Cao Cao was furious and asked urgently:"How is the situation?"

Cao Ning took a deep breath and said,"I heard that he was invited into the mansion by General He Jin!""

"How can the general advance?" Cao

Cao hissed and gasped.

He had thought that paper books would cause the Luoyang scholars to go crazy.

But he never thought that the person who wanted to buy paper books would be General He Jin? Although he is an eunuch, his ancestor is the Prime Minister Cao Shen of the Han Dynasty, and his background is quite famous.

But you, a butcher, don't know a lot of words, why do you want to buy those expensive paper books?

There must be a demon!

Cao Cao's mind was like lightning, and he immediately thought of the recent troubles in conquering the soldiers.

"Could it be......"

A flash of inspiration passed by, and Cao Cao suddenly realized:"One thousand gold buys one's bones! This must be the case!"

But!

How could He Jin, who was born as a butcher, really buy books?

If Cao Ang is invited to the General's Mansion, he will definitely die!

"Damn it!

Cao Cao secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly ordered:"Cao Ning, rush to Luoyang immediately and send more people to spread the news that the mysterious businessman from the Western Regions was invited by He Jin to the General's Mansion!""

"Go quickly!

Cao Ning frowned:"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened:"If you are told to go, just go!" Why are there so many?"

"master~~"

Just at this moment, another voice came from outside.

The person who came here was also a servant of the Cao family. He was the person Cao Ning stayed in Luoyang to keep an eye on.

"Why are you back?

Cao Ning asked angrily:"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the General's Mansion?"

The man replied:"Sir, merchants from the Western Regions have come out. He Jin personally sent them to the city gate, and there were more than ten carts of gold horseshoes. The scene was spectacular!""

"People have come out?"Cao Cao tried to ask

"Come out!"The servant nodded,"Outside the General's Mansion, there are many people."

"oh? Cao Cao was curious,"How did they know that the merchants from the Western Regions were invited to the General's Mansion?"

The servant said without hesitation:"We didn't know it at first, but then someone kept saying it on the street and asked us to go to the General's Mansion to see the people from the Western Regions, so everyone went!"" hiss~~~

Cao Cao gasped.

Obviously, someone is secretly helping Cao Ang!

But who is this person?

Does he know that the merchant from the Western Regions is Cao Ang?

Why did he help Cao Ang?

What is his purpose?......

A flurry of questions.

Suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

According to common sense, no one should know that the merchant from the Western Regions is Cao Ang.

But why would anyone help him?

Or......

Could it be that the other party was deliberately trying to trick He Jin?

Who is this person?

So what is the purpose?......

Seeing Cao Cao deep in thought, Cao Ning tried to ask:"Master, Master~~~"

Cao Cao was startled and said:"Since people have come out, there is no need to go! You can go back and rest.""

"promise!"Cao Ning bowed his hands and prepared to leave.

"Oh, right!"Cao Cao suddenly remembered something,"Pay close attention to the General's Mansion recently. If there is any news, report it immediately!"

"knew."Cao Ning responded,"I'll arrange it immediately"

******

The General's Mansion. night.

Starry.

He Jinduan sat up and raised a glass to invite them:"Come, come, come, highway, Benchu, without your help, the progress of the conquest of scholars would never be so smooth. I, the general, would like to toast you two!"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu hurriedly raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

He Jin put down the wine bottle and looked at Yuan Shao:"I didn't expect that in one day, more than 20 people came. Wu Fu, Xun Shuang, Xun You, and others came. Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong also came."

"Hahaha!"

At this point, He Jin looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, holding a strand of short beard under his chin:"Benchu, you must not know that this group of people ignored me before, but now they are willing to become my staff!"

"This paper book is indeed very powerful. Twenty thousand gold is really not wasted. You must know that it is Zheng Xuan! A great scholar of the time, famous all over the world, he was also a disciple of Ma Rong!"

Yuan Shao leaned over and raised his hands and said:"General, Mr. Zheng is a great scholar in this world. As long as he is in your house, scholars will flock to him in the future. You must not neglect Mr. Zheng.

Yuan Shu also followed:"That's right!" Although we expected that some scholars would accept the conquest, we never imagined that we could actually attract Mr. Zheng. I thought it would be appropriate for you, General, to be a disciple!"

"No! He Jin waved his big hand, drank a bottle of wine and said:"Isn't it enough to hold a disciple's ceremony? The ancients said that they should pay tribute to a virtuous corporal. I, He Jin, should do the same. I want to set up a few sticks for Mr. Zheng to show respect to the elderly!""

《Book of Rites·Quli Part 1》："When a doctor is seventy years old and does something good, if he is not thanked, he will be given a few sticks."

Jiu, i.e. Jikuan!

Cane, i.e. cane!

Jiujia and cane are used to support the elderly when leaning on and walking. In ancient times, giving the elderly a few canes was a gift of respect for the elderly. Yuan

Shao and Yuan Shu hurriedly bowed and raised their hands:"General, you are wise!""

"newspaper~~~"

Just at this moment, a long report came from outside.

A guard came into the palace with a panic look on his face and bowed his hands:"General, it's terrible. Zheng Xuan is not subject to court service and has left the general's residence!"

"What? When He

Jin heard this, he stood up and his eyes were about to burst:"Say it again!"

The guard timidly said:"General, that Zheng Xuan is not subject to court service and has already left the general's residence!""

"ah~~~"

He Jin was so angry that he overturned the dining table, pointed outside the palace, and cursed:"Zheng Xuan, a common man, you have bullied me too much! Come here, bring Zheng Xuan back to me and cut him into eight pieces!"

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly took a step:"General, calm down, Zheng Xuan must not be killed! Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted, I hope the general will think twice!"

Yuan Shu also followed and stepped out:"Yes, general, Zheng Xuan is not here, and Kong Rong, he is The descendants of Confucius are quite famous among the scholars, so you must not act rashly!"

The two men raised their hands in unison:"General, think twice before acting rashly!"
