Chapter 499: Manage your own territory
When he came to Kong Rong's territory, Kong Rong, a landlord, would naturally entertain Fang Zhiwen enthusiastically. Kong Rong wrote a letter to Fang Zhiwen for help. First of all, it was naturally due to the friendship between the two, but he should not regard Kong Rong as a naive adult. He naturally knew that Fang Zhiwen did not come to help voluntarily, so the necessary cost and the basis of cooperation were necessary.
"Cao Cao's thoughts are actually more of a test. I also understand this point. Recently, Cao Cao's reputation in the three northwest counties is at its peak. Especially when Linzi is about to be captured, Cao Cao's mind naturally became active. He wrote to me that he wanted to attack Donglai County and Chengyang County together. I guess he was looking at my thoughts."
Kong Rong frowned. To be honest, if he had not had an ally Fang Zhiwen, he would have no way to refuse Cao Cao's request, and he would not dare to refuse.
Fang Zhiwen's experience outside the port of Du County was obviously a trial by Cao Cao. He wanted to know what Fang Zhiwen's attitude towards his thoughts on Qingzhou, but Fang Zhiwen's attitude was obviously very bad and resolute.
"What is Brother Wenju's idea? I mean to rule out Cao Cao's force factor!"
Fang Zhiwen used copper tongs to put a piece of bamboo charcoal into the charcoal stove, and then placed the ceramic kettle on the rack of the charcoal stove. The red flames shone on Fang Zhiwen's face and eyes, and it looked a warm feeling.
"Excluding the factor of force? To be honest, I naturally hope that the world is peaceful, but unfortunately I also know that it is purely a luxury. Actually, I asked You, "What do you think Qingzhou would be controlled by Cao Cao in the future?"
Fang Zhiwen touched the mustache on his chin and said nothing. Cao Cao came to control Qingzhou?
Perhaps, Cao Cao had Qingzhou and slowly accumulated strength in Qingzhou. In the future, after Emperor Ling returned to heaven, he would lead troops directly into the center of the master and compete with Dong Zhuo directly? However, it may not be. Back then, the power of the aristocratic clan headed by the Yuan family might not be inferior to Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang border army. However, in the end, Dong Zhuo was still in charge of power. Obviously, Dong Zhuo’s strength and ability should not be underestimated.
Then will a direct confrontation between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo? No, there should be the Yuan family, Liu Bei, etc., and himself. In other words, Cao Cao's control of Qingzhou will have conflicts with the Central Plains forces early, which will attract players and the Yellow Turban Army to join the game, or there will be more people to join the game. The final result is likely to be the peaches that Dong Zhuo will pick.
The design of the big smart brain is very interesting, and it seems that I have made up my mind to make Dong Zhuo glorious.
"Haha. Cao Cao controls Qingzhou? That's not the same. On the one hand, he has to fight against the Yellow Turban Army and the Yiren in the Yellow Turban camp, and also squeeze the Yiren in the imperial camp, and then rectify the people's livelihood and political affairs in Qingzhou. The active accumulation of strength is no different from Brother Wen Ju. Perhaps the difference lies in who is more capable."
Kong Rong smiled slightly: "What Zhiwen implies is that Cao Cao has great ambitions?"
"Of course, it's very big. The higher the spirit, the more motivated the person! You see, I'm not as full as Cao Cao!"
Fang Zhiwen nodded vigorously. Cao Cao's ambition is proven by facts. No matter how the game changes, it is difficult to change a person's personality. Cao Cao will always be Cao Cao.
"Haha, I have also often communicated with Yiren recently. What do you mean is, 'The greater the ambition, the stronger the **, the more motivation it is'? Do you want to say, Cao Cao is Wang Mang?"
Fang Zhiwen looked at Kong Rong with some surprise. He didn't expect that Kong Rong was still a trendy man and could accept new ideas very well! However, it was indeed appropriate to compare Cao Cao to Wang Mang. Both of them were so smart and capable, but Cao Cao was timid than Wang Mang and did not dare to change the relationship between civilians and nobles from the root, so he lived longer than Wang Mang.
"Although many people have the reality of Wang Mang, they may not have the ambition of Wang Mang and their ability! But this person has it, and this is my opinion. If Wen Ju thinks that this person can support him, then choose to support him. If Brother Wen Ju feels that there is no need to follow him, then I can cooperate with Brother Wen Ju to suppress him."
"What does Zhiwen want?" Kong Rong thought for a while and asked in a narrow voice.
Fang Zhiwen thought about it very seriously and said half true and half false:
"Yes, what do I want to get? Apart from population, money and food, I naturally hope that everything can maintain the status quo. No, no, that's not the case. I believe Brother Wen Ju should understand that Yiren cannot rule this world. Similarly, Yiren will not agree that we will rule this world forever, so just do it alone. I basically mean this."
"Western Zhou..." Kong Rong's eyes flashed, and he looked at Fang Zhiwen deeply, with shock and curiosity in his eyes.
"Well, although not exactly, it's close."
"Zhiwen's idea is really strange. Although it seems unreasonable, it is consistent with reality. I dare not say whether Zhiwen's idea is right or wrong. I need to think about it carefully."
"Only after doing things, you will know whether it is right or wrong. You can't think of it."
Fang Zhiwen was cooking new tea while saying it casually, but this was very unnutrition. Now he was not in a hurry to force Kong Rong to express his opinion. In fact, if Kong Rong really turned to Cao Cao, Fang Zhiwen was not dissatisfied with it. There were many ways to split Qingzhou and interfere with Cao Cao's rapid growth. Besides, even if Cao Cao lucky enough to win Qingzhou and grow up quickly, it was not the first time Fang Zhiwen was anxious to be anxious. There were also the old aristocratic clans who couldn't stand Cao Cao.
Moreover, the ultimate controller of this world is the intelligent brain, and the will of God will be extended, not to mention that this will is not in conflict with the local scriptures.
"Haha, didn't Zhiwen always plan and act before he acted? Now he used this to fool me?"
....................................................................................
When Cao Cao arrived in Pingshou City, Fang Zhiwen was pulling his wife to look for special snack stalls in Pingshou City. In fact, this was a government task. Fang Zhiwen was rarely free and just wanted to take his wife to go shopping, so he went to the door of the government to take on such a task of rating the special snacks in Pingshou City.
It is required to find at least ten different snack stalls. Then understand the characteristics of these special snacks and give evaluations. The reward for the task is a book on making snacks.
Fang Zhiwen found it very interesting, so he pulled Taishi Zhaorong, who was secretly happy, to wander around Pingshou City, looking for delicious and distinctive snacks. Who knew that he happened to meet Cao Cao and his party who had just entered the city from the west gate.
Fang Zhiwen just took a look from a distance and continued to lower his head to taste the bowl of red date porridge in front of him. It was sweet and glutinous, and it was really delicious. The wheat grains were a little sticky and had a little elasticity. It tasted very textured. The aroma of red dates was strong but not greasy, and the jujube skin was crispy and not too hard. It was indeed a good snack.
Taishi Zhaorong looked at Cao Cao and his party and turned around, ate the porridge in small mouthfuls, and her gentle eyes were placed on her husband more. She liked her husband like this, squinted her eyes slightly and savored the food. The expression on her face was serious and slightly exaggerated, plain but a little childish and naughty, and that casualness and casualness were so much like a stranger.
Of course, she also likes her husband's appearance on the battlefield, calm and sharp, and intoxicating. In fact, she likes her husband's appearance at any time. What she prefers is her husband who can meet different husbands and husbands who can be with her anytime and anywhere.
However, Cao Cao had just entered the city, and his husband was here to accompany him. Although she also liked her husband to accompany him, she did not want to delay her husband's business because of herself.
"Husband, let's go back. I'm tired!"
"Haha, Zhaorong, you are not honest. You are a general, why are you tired? Is it because of that guy?"
Fang Zhiwen slanted his eyes and pointed at the direction where Cao Cao had just disappeared with the wooden spoon in his hand. He looked like a very commoner in the market, and there was no such thing as a hero.
"Puchi" Taishi Zhaorong couldn't help laughing: "Husband~! People are talking about serious things, really don't need to worry about him?"
"What kind of serious business! Accompanying you is the most serious business. Zhaorong, you should know that what I do is for my relatives, my subordinates, and my subordinates, and then I benefit from the people who can lead the people within my ability. Therefore, relatives are the most important, and this will never change, and it will not change."
Fang Zhiwen said seriously, and after saying something, Taishi Zhaorong's eyes were tide and her face was flushed. She wanted to throw herself into her husband's arms and act coquettishly, but unfortunately the occasion was not suitable.
"Yes!" Taishi Zhaorong nodded vigorously: "I remember."
"Just remember it. By the way, I just asked. Walking southwards, there is often a person carrying a carry and selling fried cakes. We will find his trace later. Hehe, the legendary snack!"
Taishi Zhaorong responded with a charming smile: "Well, listen to my husband."
....................................................................................................
Fang Zhiwen officially met Cao Cao. It was two days later that Cao Cao held a banquet and invited Fang Zhiwen.
The banquet was just a very ordinary restaurant, a restaurant run by local indigenous people.
When Fang Zhiwen arrived, the Xiahou brothers were waiting downstairs. When they saw Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong, Xiahou Yuan's face was a little unnatural, while Xiahou Dun was calm as usual. Fang Zhiwen nodded secretly. It seemed that the history books said that Xiahou Dun was steady.
Cao Cao received the notice and quickly came out of the room. As soon as he saw Fang Zhiwen, a happy smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, bowed deeply, and said in his slightly hoarse, thick and loud voice: "Isn't talented Cao Cao ever seen Lord Fang."
"Mr. Cao is so polite. Master Cao has a noble family. He is a hero of race and has been a master of Jinan. Speaking of which, we are still at the same level, so we dare not be the tribute of Master Cao. I will give you a gift here! Haha."
"Taishi Zhaorong has met Lord Cao!" Taishi Zhaorong saluted generously.
"This is the inner son and the left general of the guards, laughing!"
"Madam is such a heroine. I envy Lord Fang for not having time, so how dare I laugh? Haha... two distinguished guests are invited in!"
"please!"
Everyone entered, exchanged a few greetings and sat down. Fang Zhiwen asked straight to the point: "I wonder if Lord Cao has ever seen Brother Wenju?"
"I've seen it!" Cao Cao said with a smile, squinting his eyes.
Fang Zhiwen raised his lips: "I don't know if Brother Wenju will agree with Lord Cao's suggestions, but I think it's better for Lord Cao to manage his territory first. Lord Cao is just a prime minister of Jinan, not a governor of Qingzhou. If he manages too much, it may not be a good thing! Haha."
Fang Zhiwen's words immediately stunned Cao Cao and the Xiahou brothers. This is what it means to be straight to the point! And it is a big mountain!
