After the dinner, after the retreat of the civil and military capitals in Xuzhou, Cao Cao left Chen Deng and led him to the study of the State Pastoral Mansion, in the study, Cao Cao did the main position, and said to Chen Deng, who was in charge: "Yuanlong, if there is no you, I Cao Cao wants to enter Xuzhou, I don't know how much time and energy it will take." ”

"The lord has a good reputation, even if he doesn't Deng, there are Zizhong, and there are also Xuzhou's big and small civil and military, and with the world-famous Cao Jun, it is only a matter of time before the lord enters Xuzhou, and Deng just did the right thing at the right time."

Looking at Chen Deng, who was smiling with a gentle face, and at the same time pushed almost all the credit away, Cao Cao nodded secretly in his heart, if Chen Deng was like Xu Yu above history, he would put the credit on his mouth wherever he went, although Cao Cao would not kill him because of this, but he would also do it if he ascended and descended.

And like Chen Deng now, not only has Cao Cao's good impression of him greatly increased, but even the mentality that he was originally ready to send away at will has changed, without him, after this period of understanding, Chen Deng's actions have made Cao Cao deeply feel that Chen Deng in this time and space can definitely not be Chen Deng, who is only a little clever in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and rises to the throne by betraying Lu Bu.

"No matter what, it's true that Yuanlong has merit, I am willing to recommend you to the Son of Heaven as the lieutenant of Si Li, responsible for the government affairs in the Luoyang area, what do you think?"

Since he decided to reuse Chen Deng, Cao Cao would not arbitrarily arrange a position for him, but gave Chen Deng a lieutenant who was responsible for the government affairs in the Luoyang area.

Speaking of which, until today, Luoyang, once the center of the world, the 200-year-old imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, has not been occupied by any princes, as if all the princes have forgotten it, in addition to geographical factors, the biggest problem is that Luoyang is too dilapidated, once occupied, not only can not get any benefits, but have to spend a lot of effort to fill this loophole, which in the eyes of those princes, is absolutely more than worth the loss.

Cao Cao did not occupy Luoyang in the early stage because of this, but now it is different, Cao Cao, who occupies the rich three states of the Central Plains, has enough financial resources to gradually repair the loophole of Luoyang.

Moreover, once Luoyang was occupied, not to mention the excitement brought by the unification of the Central Plains in the first place, Cao Jun alone could pass through Luoyang, attack Chang'an, and get involved in Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places.

At the same time, it is also possible to occupy Hedong County in the northwest of Luoyang and Hongnong County in the north through Guò Luoyang to complete the strategic deployment of the four northern states.

At the same time, the dilapidated Luoyang also gave Chen Deng a chance to display his talents, and he did not live up to his promise at the beginning Cao Cao, so Cao Cao certainly decided without hesitation.

Cao Cao's considerations, Chen Deng also understood a thing or two in his heart, but even if he understood that he was appointed as the captain of the school, it was not entirely because he valued himself, although Chen Deng was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was not too indignant, for Chen Deng, just loyal to him, he was able to get the position of captain of the school, it was enough.

In the final analysis, Chen Deng is not a poor strategist after all, for him who was born in a family, compared with the importance of the lord, Chen Deng cares more about a series of official positions, which can help his family develop, such as taking refuge in Cao Cao, which can make his family avoid a catastrophe, and at the same time, he can use Cao Cao to make his family go to the next level, and finally let himself show his ability, which is the main reason why Chen Deng finally decided to persuade Chen Qi to be loyal to Cao Cao, family supremacy, is a unique idea of this era.

"Well, in that case, you should go down first, and in a few days, return with the army."

Chen Deng's thoughts, Cao Cao actually almost understands, but the current Cao Cao does not have the energy to take care of these, not to mention, as long as he Cao Cao can lead the Cao army to be strong all the time, then these families may not betray, of course, there is no energy now, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.

"It's here, Mr. Mi go in, the lord is waiting for Mr. inside!"

"Thank you, General Dian Wei, for leading the way."

After Chen Deng retreated, Cao Cao did not leave the study, but continued to stay in it, a moment later, the sound of Dian Wei and Mi Zhu's conversation came in from outside, with a squeak of the door being pushed open, Cao Cao looked up, only to see Mi Zhu, who was wearing a wide-sleeved Hanfu, walked in and saluted: "Zhu see the lord!" ”

Long sleeves fluttering, beautiful and solemn, looking at this scene Cao Cao was slightly distracted, of course, not because of the wide-sleeved Hanfu, although the wide-sleeved Hanfu is almost extinct in later generations, but it can be seen everywhere in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What really made Cao Cao distracted was the kind of temperament on Mi Zhu's body, if he didn't know that Mi Zhu's essence was a businessman, Cao Cao thought that he had seen a gentleman, a scholar.

Speaking of which, Mi Zhu is more like a scholar than a businessman, just like the final evaluation of him by history, as graceful and generous, honest and elegant, of course, his younger brother Mi Fang, but he is an out-and-out businessman.

It's just that compared with the shrewdness of the businessman, his younger brother inherited the profit-seeking mentality of the businessman, and this mentality, the final solution of the guide, that is, when Guan Yu was in trouble above history, Mi Fang, who was Liu Bei's in-laws, did not hesitate to sell Guan Yu and Mi Zhu in the city capital and surrendered to Eastern Wu.

"Zizhong is here, do it!"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and asked Mi Zhu to sit down, before he said: "Zizhong, I can't stay in Xuzhou for a long time, my marriage contract with Huan'er is better to be completed as much as possible, as for the wedding, I don't think it's as good as this······"

For this woman who left the name of Zhenlie in later generations, as well as the power of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Cao Cao could not come according to the concubine ceremony anyway, of course, it was impossible to come according to the big ceremony when marrying the main room, at most it was the same as the etiquette when marrying Diao Chan and Cai Yan.

Mi Zhu, who was sitting under Cao Cao, listened to Cao Cao's wedding when he married his sister, although he regretted that he couldn't come according to the main room, but he was quite satisfied, to be honest, if it wasn't for the consent of Mi Huan himself to this wedding, even if Mi Zhu wanted to increase the status of his family in Cao Cao's heart, it was impossible for Mi Zhu to agree to let Mi Huan and Cao Cao make a marriage contract.

After finally making the marriage contract, Mi Zhu actually felt a little unworthy and wronged for his sister in his heart, but after listening to Cao Cao's words at this time, most of these feelings in Mi Zhu's heart dissipated, and instead of gratitude, he was grateful to Cao Cao.

Mi Zhu got up with excitement and joy on his face, bowed down to Cao Cao and said, "Thank you for treating your sister with such a humble position!" ”
