The book is followed last time.

"Master Zhou, what do you mean is that your Zhou family doesn't want to worship Brother Meng De?!"

"No!" Although the head of the Zhou family thought so, how dare he admit it?

So he immediately shook his head and said, "I am not unwilling to serve Cao Gong, but I am really powerless!

I am old and lack energy. Even reading a few books at night is dizzy. I really don’t have the energy to deal with chores, so I postponed this matter. Please don’t misunderstand by the Lord of Luoyang.”

"..." Li Zhi heard this and looked at the head of the Zhou family for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Your excuse is good. I really can't refute it, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's eyes sternly and his voice and expression were stern, "But do you really think that if you say that, I will let you go?!

Not enough energy, right?

OK! When you go back with me, I will find you a leisurely position.

You just need to enjoy tea and study leisurely on weekdays, and you don’t have to deal with official duties!”

The reason why Li Zhi asked the head of the Yuan family to stay here today was to force the head of Zhou to become an official.

As long as the head of the Zhou family surrendered to Cao Cao and held a practical official position, in the eyes of the people in the world, the Zhou family completely surrendered to Cao Cao!

At that time, even if the Zhou family is unwilling to do so, they can only pinch their noses and accept it.

Therefore, Li Zhicai didn't care what the head of Zhou said, he only thought about it, that is, dragging the head of Zhou into the game.

"Why should the Lord of Luoyang make things difficult?" After hearing Li Zhidi's words, the head of the Zhou family looked bitter and said, "I have already said that the Zhou family where I am located has completely defected to Cao Gong.

Moreover, if the Marquis of Luoyang doesn't believe it, then after returning, I will send more talents from my family to assist Mr. Cao.

This should prove the loyalty and sincerity of my Zhou family?

Why did the Marquis of Luoyang insist on being an old man?”

The head of the Zhou family really didn't want to be Cao Cao's minister, because then, their Zhou family would have no room to retreat!

But now it is different. As long as the head of the family is not an official under Cao Cao's command, even if Cao Cao fails, their Zhou family will be safe and sound.

Because in this troubled era, all the aristocratic families are diversifying their investments, as long as the head of the family does not seek refuge in any prince, it is not considered a sideline.

In this way, even if the princes they surrendered to fail, the other princes would not make things difficult for this aristocratic family.

It is precisely because of this that the head of the Zhou family refused this matter repeatedly, just to leave a way out for the Zhou family.

"..." Looking at the head of the Zhou family who has repeatedly made excuses, Li Zhi's eyes became even more hostile!

Of course he knew that the head of the Zhou family was leaving a way out for his family. This kind of thing was normal and often happened in other families.

But Li Zhi cannot tolerate such a half-hearted person!

So after hearing the words of the head of Zhou, he did not hesitate. He immediately waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Come on! Take care of the head of Zhou together!"

"No!" After responding, the soldiers immediately followed the order and headed towards the head of the Zhou family.

After hearing Li Zhidi's order, the head of the Zhou family realized something was wrong and slowly retreated, and asked Li Zhi while retreating: "What does Luoyang Marquis mean?!

I am just because I am not willing to be an official because I am not energetic. Why did the Luoyang Marquis fight each other hard? Are you not afraid of gossiping all over the world?"

"If they like to say it, let them go, I am too lazy to care about them!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi changed his words, looked at the head of the Zhou family with a smile, and said, "To be honest, I have to thank the head of the Zhou family for being able to face the rumors so peacefully!

I heard that the idea of ​​rumoring this marquis was made by the head of the Zhou family? It was indeed amazing! I had smoked my seven orifices of my marquis at the beginning!

However, I also entrusted the blessing of the head of the Zhou family to let me develop the ability to be unsurprised and happy when facing rumors!”

"..." The head of the Zhou family looked bitter after hearing Li Zhidi's words.

At this point, he still didn't understand that Li Zhi was determined to let him become an official!

If he didn't do it, he would have to be detained by Li Zhi like the heads of the family just now!

After thinking of this, the head of the Zhou family could only sigh helplessly and said, "Forget it, I admit it! I will go to ask Mr. Cao for an official position."

What else can he do now? If he continues to resist stubbornly, he may immediately fall into a doomed place!

Therefore, even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only choose to surrender.

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi's face was happy after hearing the words of the head of the Zhou family, and laughed loudly, "Is this right?"

After saying that, Li Zhi was afraid of something outside the situation, so he grabbed the head of the Zhou family by the arm, and walked out and said, "No matter how, I'll go to find Brother Meng De now. If it's too late, maybe he'll go to bed."

After saying that, he pulled the head of the Zhou family out of the hall, and the other soldiers followed Li Zhi, leaving only the head of the Yuan family.

"..." After a look at Li Zhi's back, who was left in the middle of the hall, the head of the Yuan family, looked at him in surprise, he muttered in a low voice: "What you are rushing to get is not a business! What you can't get is better!"

That’s right, the head of the Yuan family is just jealous!

He finally met Li Zhi when he prayed to God and Buddha, and was beaten repeatedly by Li Zhi, and finally saved their Yuan family.

The head of the Zhou family is different. He was invited by Li Zhi himself. Although this invitation is somewhat compulsive, the treatment is much better than his!

Therefore, the head of the Yuan family was a little dissatisfied.

They are all families of the same size, why is the Yuan family so humble and the Zhou family so glorious?!

However, he also knew that all this was because he did not see Li Zhi's plan at the beginning and accepted the appointment document.

He had nothing to say about his skills, so after complaining for a while, the head of the Yuan family quickly followed Li Zhi.

...

After Li Zhi pulled the head of Zhou to Cao Cao's mansion, he smiled and said to the head of Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, I still have something to deal with, so you can go in by yourself."

After saying that, Li Zhi turned around and left, leaving only the head of the Zhou family alone in the wind at the entrance of Cao Cao's mansion.

"..." The head of the Zhou family was full of surprise at this moment. He didn't expect that Li Zhi would withdraw at this critical moment. Wouldn't he be afraid of turning around and leaving?

But after thinking for a while, the head of the Zhou family smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Because he saw that this was Li Zhi's last test of him.

If he turns around and leaves now, it proves that he is a short-sighted person!

Because if he left now, how could Cao Cao, who had released the pigeons by him, and Li Zhi, who was placed on his way, give him a little help?

In other words, if he leaves now, he can only be considered a little smart person. Even if such a person is brought to Cao Cao's command, it will not have much effect!

That's why Li Zhi left him here with confidence.

After thinking it through, the head of the Zhou family stopped struggling and walked towards Cao Cao's mansion with a wry smile.

This time he entered Cao Cao's mansion very smoothly, as if Cao Cao had already said hello, and the guards on both sides didn't even look at him.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhou family could not understand. Cao Cao was probably waiting for him!

Seeing this, the head of the Zhou family, who had already made up his mind to surrender, did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly walked towards Cao Cao's hall.

After arriving at Cao Cao's hall, the head of the Zhou family thoughtfully said, "Sure enough!"

As he thought, Cao Cao was sitting in the main seat of the hall waiting for him.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhou family did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Cao. I came here late at night. Please forgive me."

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing the head of the Zhou family claiming, and he laughed and raised his hand, saying, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be so polite, please get up quickly."

After saying that, Cao Cao stood up and personally helped the head of the Zhou family to sit in the second seat, looking like a respectful and respectful person.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhou family knew that Cao Cao was inviting people to win the hearts of the people, but he was still a little moved.

After all, Cao Cao is a famous overlord in the world and can be called the world's number one prince!

Such a character can put down his figure and help him personally, which is a great honor!

Therefore, the head of the Zhou family did not dare to be negligent. After sitting down, he immediately bowed and said, "Duke Cao, since his subordinate Zhou family came to Jizhou, they have relied on Cao Gong to achieve their current achievements.

After thinking about it, my subordinates felt that they could not benefit Cao Gong for nothing.

Therefore, my subordinates came here this time to ask Cao Gong for an official position, and wanted to repay Cao Gong based on what he learned from his subordinates, and hope that Cao Gong could agree."

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao smiled so hard that his face disappeared after hearing the words of the head of the Zhou family.

He didn't expect that things would go so well, and that the head of the Zhou family surrendered so easily. This was beyond his expectations.

But this is a good thing, so he did not refute it. He nodded in a good way and said, "Since Mr. Zhou has this intention, I will not refuse!"

After saying that, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and touched his chin and began to ponder. He was thinking about what official position he would give to the head of the Zhou family.

Originally, he only left a small official for the head of Zhou, because he originally thought that the head of Zhou would definitely try his best to shirk it after coming here.

But I didn't expect that the head of the Zhou family would cooperate so much, and the original Weishu official was a little inappropriate.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "I have it!

Since he came to Jizhou alone, he has been serving as the governor of Yecheng City.

Nowadays, it is really inconvenient to continue to hold this position in several states. Otherwise, I would hand it over to Mr. Zhou?"
