Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "Bo Fu and Wen Yuan know how to do it!" ”

Chen Gong and Xun Yu couldn't help but smile at each other

"By the way, are there anything else you two are here at this time?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "There is nothing else, it is the matter about the expansion of the navy that His Majesty explained two days ago, and the planner has already prepared it!" ”

Xun Yu took out a heavy piece of music from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Cao Cao opened the cantata, took a cursory look, put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo has worked hard!" ”

Xun Yu hurriedly arched his hand with some trepidation: "Your Majesty is serious!" This is a matter of the minister's duty! Although he said so, he couldn't help but feel like a confidant in his heart.

Cao Cao glanced at the recital at hand and said, "I will carefully read Wen Ruo's recital!" Then his gaze fell on Chen Gong's body.

Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the noise of those corrupt people for many days has been basically suppressed!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, "It seems that these scholars of the Legalist family not only have a set of ways to govern the country, but also their eloquence is not inferior to others!" ”

Chen Gong and Xun Yu nodded approvingly.

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, in fact, these days it is not only the Legalists who are debating with those Confucian scholars, but also Taoists, Yin and Yang scholars, etc., among which it is particularly noteworthy that Confucianism!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked with a somewhat surprised smile, "What?" Did I hear me right? Gongtai you say, Confucian?? ”

Chen Gong smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty heard you right!" What the minister said is indeed Confucianism! ”

After a pause, Chen Gong explained: "These Confucian scholars are all the same as the usual Confucians. There is a bit of the style of Confucian scholars in the Warring States period! ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised. Shen Yin said: "In fact, Confucianism and Legalism are good at each other, and Confucianism is good at education. And Legalism is good at governing the country! The two can actually complement each other! ”

Cao Cao raised his head and said in an inquiring tone: "How about choosing a few of these Confucian scholars who have both virtue and ability to enter the court?" ”

Chen Gong and Xun Yu exchanged a look. Chen Gong said: "This move can not only appease the emotions of the Confucian scholars, but also prevent the Legalist scholars from being arrogant and arrogant!" ”

Xun Yu also said: "What the public station said is extremely true! Doing so can also expand the scope of His Majesty's selection of materials, which is only good for the country and the people! ”

"Then it's decided! Gongtai, this matter is up to you! Cao Cao commanded.

Chen Gong agreed.

Jianye Shen Gong Mansion.

"Father, are you ready to call me back in such a hurry?" Shen Gongfu's boss, Shen Gongqian, asked excitedly

Shen Gongfu also nodded excitedly and said, "100,000 loads of grain and grass and 30,000 elites are ready!" Qian'er, what's going on with you there? ”

Shen Gongqian patted his chest and said proudly: "I've already been ready, just wait for my father's order!" ”

"Good! In this way, we can only wait for Sun Ce's news! ”

Shen Gongqian said with a contemptuous face: "Father." Sun Ce only had 10,000 troops in his hands, so why should he value him so much. ”

Shen Gongfu said with a straight face: "Qian'er must not think so! Sun Ceren is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he is a rare fierce general in the world, and the 10,000 soldiers under his nunnery are the elite of the Wei army, and their combat power is very strong! ”

Shen Gongqian still said disapprerovingly: "If Sun Ce is really as brave as the rumors, how can he be annihilated by the Wei army, and finally have to surrender!" Besides, no matter how elite his 10,000 people are, I'm afraid they won't be much stronger than the 10,000 city defense troops under me! ”

Shen Gongfu, who didn't know anything about military affairs, couldn't help but feel that his son was right. However, he still said: "No matter what, it is always a good thing for Duosun Ce's 10,000 troops!" ”

Shen Gongqian did not continue to argue with his father and nodded.

At this time, Cheng Deshu and Yan Yan came in together.

"Big brother!" The two arched together.

Shen Gongfu greeted him with an enthusiastic face. "I'm waiting for the two virtuous brothers!"

Then he turned his head and scolded Shen Gongqian: "Qian'er, why haven't you come to see the two uncles!" ”

Shen Gongqian came to Cheng Deshu and Yan Yan with an unhappy face, and casually hugged him. "Nephew is polite here!"

Cheng Deshu and Yan Yan hurriedly returned the salute, and severely praised Shen Gongqian again and again.

"Deshu. How prepared is your fleet? Shen Gongfu asked

"Brother, don't worry! Three thousand large ships have been prepared, ready to carry 10,000 people to Yizhou at any time! Cheng Deshu patted his chest and said.

Good. All right! Shen Gongfu nodded.

Shen Gongqian suddenly said loudly: "Is this necessary? Once we raise the banner of rebellion, the whole world will inevitably respond, and at least we can rule across the river from his pseudo-Wei! Shen Gongqian looked very arrogant

"Qian'er, Hugh is rude! The worst-case scenario has to be considered! Shen Gongfu rebuked unhappily.

Shen Gongqian snorted unconvinced, but did not continue to argue.

The men deliberated for about an hour before they dispersed.

After Cheng Deshu and Yan Yan left, Shen Gongfu reprimanded Shen Gongqian unhappily: "Qian'er, after the uprising, you must not be so arrogant again, otherwise I am afraid that it will be a big deal!" ”

Shen Gongqian agreed, but in fact, he was very disapproving

Just as the father and son were talking, the butler hurriedly rushed in and excitedly reported: "The lord and the son said that General Sun Ce's envoy has arrived!" ”

Shen Gongqian's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Please!" ”

The butler answered, and immediately went out of the hall again.

Shen Gongfu glanced at his rebellious son beside him, and couldn't help frowning, secretly saying that Qian'er was not like this in the past, why did he become so arrogant now? I can't help but feel a little worried.

After another two days, the Jiangnan rebel forces who were ready openly raised the anti-flag in Jianye, and sent 30,000 troops to march to Shenxiangling under the slogan of raising righteousness to punish Wei, and joined Sun Ce's 10,000 horses at Shenting Ridge to continue eastward, and the whole thing was extremely smooth at this moment

Four days later, 40,000 rebels arrived at the city of Wu County by the Taihu Lake, at this time there were only 10,000 city defense troops defending Hao County, coupled with the low walls of Wu County and no moat, Hao County City was like a trembling child in the eyes of the rebels.

As the chief general of the rebels, Shen Gongfu ordered the army to set up a large camp outside the city of Haojun, but this mile-long joint camp was a joke in the eyes of experts.

But it's no wonder that Shen Gongfu, the head of the Shen family, is good at tricks and tricks, but he is a completely casual man who takes it for granted when it comes to marching and arranging.

After Shen Gongfu set up camp, he ordered the steward, who had been promoted to the chief general of the left army, to go to the city to persuade him to surrender.

However, what Shen Gongfu didn't expect was that his butler was killed by an arrow from the other party as soon as he reported his name under the city gate.

When Shen Gongfu heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, shocked that one of his right-hand men died like this, and angry that the other party was so ignorant.

Shen Gongfu was furious and ordered the whole army to attack the city immediately, but at this time it was already dark, and it was not the time to storm at all. (To be continued.) )
