The book is picked up again.

"Brother Xingzhi, the wine hurts your body a lot, if you continue to drink like this, be careful that your body can't bear it.

Besides, my brother still has something to do today, and I really can't get drunk with you.

Otherwise, how about you wait until your brother is done with today's work, and then drink with you in the evening? ”

"That's... That's it. After Li Zhi responded with a drunken and hazy appearance, he put the wine jar in his hand aside,

Then he collapsed on the table beside him as if he was about to fall asleep.

However, his eyes did not close, but squinted drunken eyes at the heads of the families present.

"......" The heads of the family were furious by Li Zhi, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of annoying Li Zhi.

To be honest, these family heads don't want to stay here for a moment now, there is a drunken Li Zhi here, and they feel frightened every time they breathe.

It's just that today they are here to ask Cao Cao for an official position, which is the common interest of their family.

Therefore, even if they are afraid in their hearts, they can only endure their fear and stay here.

However, although they stayed here, none of them dared to speak, and just looked at the Yuan family master in front of them.

The position of the head of the family is not only about power, but also about responsibility!

Since the head of the Yuan family is the head of the family, he must stand up at this critical moment.

The head of the Yuan family also understood this, so after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said to Cao Cao: "My subordinates dare to ask the lord, we may believe the lord's words?" ”

After Cao Cao heard the words of the Yuan family master, his face changed, he nodded solemnly, and said: "Although Lone is not an emperor, it is not a matter of words, but Lone is a dignified man, and what he says will not be reversed!" ”

When he said this, Cao Cao was also full of helplessness.

Although he had long expected that everyone from the family would come here to ask for official positions, he didn't expect that the head of the Yuan family would force him into a corner as soon as he spoke.

The head of the Yuan family asked, can Cao Cao have a second answer? Can he still say that he intends to go back on his word?

"The Lord is a believer!" The head of the Yuan family didn't care whether Cao Cao said this sentence sincerely or perfunctory, he only knew that Cao Cao said that he would not go back on his word!

Therefore, he immediately said a compliment and crucified Cao Cao's words.

Then, he struck while the iron was hot and asked: "A few days ago, the lord made it clear in the lobby that no matter who solved the matter of the princes disturbing the realm for the lord, the position under the lord's command will be at his disposal, does the lord still remember this matter?" ”

Of course I remember" up to now, Cao Cao can't slap himself in the face.

So he nodded with a serious face, and said: "Lone is still the same sentence, as long as the matter of the princes disturbing the realm is solved, Lone will never spare his official position!" ”

After finishing speaking, he pretended to be puzzled and asked the head of the Yuan family, "Why did Mr. Yuan mention this matter?" Could it be that Mr. Yuan has a way to solve the disturbance of the princes?

If this is the case, then please ask Mr. Yuan to make it clear that as long as Mr. Yuan's method is useful, all the official positions under the orphan command will be chosen by Mr. Yuan! ”

"Hehe......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family stroked his goatee with a smug face and said: "The subordinates have not only thought of a way, but have already solved the matter of the princes not disturbing the realm for the lord!"

The subordinates are here today to ask for merit from the lord! ”

After saying this, he looked at Cao Cao's gaze full of banter.

He knew that Cao Cao must have known what their family had done, and he wanted to see how Cao Cao would deal with what happened next.

Is it a reversal? Or do you pinch your nose and admit it?

The head of the Yuan family was very curious, what choice Cao Cao would make?

"Oh?" Although he had known about this for a long time, Cao Cao still pretended to be ecstatic and asked, "Is this really the case?!"

I don't know what method Mr. Yuan used to solve it? Speaking out opens the eyes of solitary. ”

"......" After the Yuan family master heard Cao Cao's words, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He didn't think that Cao Cao didn't know about their family's actions, but why did Cao Cao ask knowingly?

However, since Cao Cao has already opened his mouth to ask, it is not good for him to remain silent.

Therefore, after beautifying what their family had done, he said it to Cao Cao carefully.

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, the strength of the princes is not as good as the lord, so they don't dare to lose both with the lord."

Now the princes have sent people to harass the lord's command, and my family has immediately sent people to respond.

In this way, those princes should know that if they dare to continue to play these small tricks, they will suffer in the end!

Therefore, the disturbance of the princes has subsided, and the lord can develop with peace of mind. ”

After finishing speaking, the eyes of the Yuan family master stared at Cao Cao to see how he reacted.

But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Cao Cao didn't pick a bone in the egg, nor did he force a smile, but looked sad.

Cao Cao said that this appearance made the Yuan family master very puzzled, and according to his calculations, Cao Cao would have two reactions after hearing his words.

First, Cao Cao intends to go back on his word, so that he will pick a bone in the egg and say that the family's behavior is useless, so as to shirk his original promise.

Second, after Cao Cao heard this, he accepted the matter with a smile for the sake of his face and prestige, and kept his promise to give their official positions to their families.

But to the surprise of the head of the Yuan family, Cao Cao did not show the two expressions he expected, but instead looked sad, what the hell is this?

Although things were a little unexpected, the head of the Yuan family couldn't let Cao Cao freeze there.

So after hesitating for a while, he took the initiative to ask, "Why is the lord worried?" But what my family is doing is not in line with the Lord's will? ”

"It's not" After Cao Cao heard the words of the Yuan family master, he let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Although what you and the family did was a little out of line, it was all for the sake of loneliness, how could loneliness blame you and others." ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the Yuan family master's face changed, and he said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”

Although Cao Cao's words are good, the meaning of his words is all about showing that their family has indeed done something wrong!

Cao Cao was only because the starting point of their family to do this wrong thing was for Cao Cao's good, so Cao Cao couldn't punish the family.

And after listening to Cao Cao's words, the heart of the Yuan family master was relaxed.

Because Cao Cao said this, it proved that Cao Cao did not depart from the two situations that he expected in his heart.

When Cao Cao said this, wasn't he picking on the fault of their family in disguise, so as to shirk the promise of the day?

The head of the Yuan family had expected this situation, so he glanced at a small family head without a trace.

There are some things that he, the head of the family, should not say, but these little family heads don't have this concern.

Therefore, he arranged for a small head of the family to speak for him in advance.

After seeing the eyes of the Yuan family master, the little family master immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and said: "Cao Gong, no matter whether what our family did was right or wrong, but we did solve the princes' disturbing strategy!"

Now, please keep your promise! ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately straightened up, looking at Tao Tao with blazing eyes, looking generous and righteous.

Ever since he took over the task of the Yuan family master, he didn't think that he had a reason to survive!

Because he felt that Cao Cao, as a prince, would definitely be angry after being calculated,

Even if he didn't dare to make a move on a big family head like the Yuan family master, he would inevitably be angry and find a small family master to vent his anger.

And he is the one who was vented of anger!

However, the little family master did not regret it, because before coming here, the Yuan family master promised him in front of everyone that if he really died in anger because of Cao Cao's annoyance, then their family would be able to share more official positions!

For the benefit of his family, the little family head is willing to sacrifice this mere hundred and ten catties!

......However, to the surprise of the little family master, Cao Cao did not get angry after hearing his words, but shook his head, sighed and said, "Who do you think of Gu as ?!"

If you really solve the matter of the princes' disturbances, even if your family asks for more official positions, Lone will definitely not be stingy!

However, the crux of the matter is that at this point, Lone is not sure if the lose-lose plan you are waiting for will work!

What if the princes didn't care about the harm you had caused them, and still sent troops and horses to harass the lonely border?

Can you guarantee that after you attack Yanzhou, the princes will not continue to harass the borders of Lonely? ”

"This ......" After hearing this, the little family master didn't dare to make such a guarantee, so he could only turn his gaze to the Yuan family master.

"......" Seeing this, the head of the Yuan family was silent for a while, and then said, "Is the lord too worried?"

The rule of the princes together is not as big as that of the lord, when they know that the lord intends to lose both, how dare they continue to harass the lord's border? ”

"I can't tell!" After Cao Cao shook his head, he said, "After all, although you waited for the troops to attack Yanzhou, the results you waited for were only a few thousand!"

For the princes of one side, it is just a few thousand people, just a drop in the bucket, how can they care?

Besides......"

When he said this, he turned his head, glanced at the Yuan family master with great meaning, and said: "According to the news that Gu obtained, although you and the others caused thousands of deaths and injuries to the ordinary people under Zhang Yan's command, they also lost tens of thousands of people!"

In the end, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were exchanged for the son of the Chen family!

In this way, Zhang Yan not only did not lose much population, but gained thousands of people for nothing! ”
