The book is followed last time.

Although the position of Yecheng City is just an insignificant small official, and is only equivalent to a county magistrate, it depends on where he is the county magistrate!

Where is Yecheng? It is the capital of the entire Jizhou and the political center chosen by Cao Cao!

If Cao Cao founded the country and became emperor now, then this place would be the capital!

Being a county magistrate in a country's capital is as expensive as being a county magistrate in a remote place, and even a state magistrate is very noble.

Therefore, when the head of the Zhou family heard that Cao Cao was going to hand over this position to him, he felt a little surprised and dared not agree.

"Haha..." Cao Cao saw this and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be scruples.

Although this position is important, it is just a position of a city guard.

Compared to Mr. Zhou’s knowledge, this position is really unbearable!

Fortunately, this place is a place for the lonely, so this position is barely worthy of the gentleman.

Mr. Don’t continue to refuse, otherwise Gu Ke really doesn’t have a suitable position to place a Mr..”

Although Cao Fang has many official positions, they are all one by one, and most of them have candidates.

Even if there are a few official positions that have no candidates, it is because those positions are too small and no one is willing to take them.

Therefore, if Cao Cao suddenly finds an official position worthy of the title of Zhou's family, it would be really difficult for him.

It is precisely because of this that he rewarded the head of the Zhou family as the governor of Yecheng City.

"..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Zhou family was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Then, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will live up to my entrustedness!"

Now, the head of the Zhou family cannot tolerate any refusal.

He is the head of the Zhou family. If Cao Cao gave him the position too small, it would mean to neglect his Zhou family.

But the head of the Zhou family also knew that Cao Cao had no extra high-ranking positions, so he had to accept this position.

"Hahaha... OK!" Cao Cao saw that the head of the Zhou family accepted the position, laughed and said yes.

After a long time, he stopped laughing, waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then head of the Zhou family will go back and take a break first.

If it’s too late today, it’s really not suitable to have a banquet. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Zhou will come to Gu’s mansion again, and Gu wants a banquet for Mr. Zhou!”

"No! I will say goodbye." When the head of the Zhou family heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Cao Cao, and then turned to the outsider.

After the head of the Zhou family left, Cao Cao turned his head and said to the inner wall behind him: "Brother Xingzhi, as you expected, the head of the Zhou family is a truly smart person."

"Haha..." After Cao Cao's words settled, a clear laughter sounded.

Then Li Zhi turned out from the inner wall behind Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Of course he is a smart person, otherwise he would not have seen the plan to be appointed as an official, but..."

When he said this, Li Zhi seemed to have thought of something, frowned and said, "But Brother Meng De, be careful of this person!

This person is too smart, and he may see through many of Brother Meng De's plans. At that time, I am afraid that he will use Brother Meng De's plans to make the Zhou family's personal interests."

"This is also a trouble..." After hearing Li Zhidi's words, Cao Cao's brows were also tightly wrinkled

Get up.

He knew that Li Zhi was not aimless, because based on the information he received, the head of Zhou's family was very concerned about the Zhou family.

Once you have the opportunity to seek benefits for the Zhou family, I believe that the head of the Zhou family will definitely take action without hesitation.

In other words, if one is not handled properly, the Zhou family may suck the blood of Cao Cao's power to strengthen itself!

After thinking about this, Cao Cao touched his beard on his chin and murmured: "In this way, it is a bit inappropriate for the position of Yecheng City that Brother gave him just now."

Although the position of Yecheng City Guard is not very large, its power is not small.

In terms of official positions, Yecheng City has the right to mobilize all soldiers in Yecheng, and also has the right to appoint and remove official positions under his command!

If the head of the Zhou family really wants to rely on this position to seek personal gain, he can completely replace all the official positions under his command with descendants of the Zhou family.

By then, all the city defenses in Yecheng must be controlled by the head of the Zhou family?!

This is a huge hidden danger!

If the Zhou family and other princes jointly attacked, Cao Cao would be taken away by the enemy!

After arriving here, Cao Cao could no longer sit still and looked at Li Zhiwen with an anxious look on his face: "Brother Xingzhi, the position of guarding Yecheng City should not be handed over to the head of the Zhou family.

But now, as my brother, I have handed over the position of Yecheng City to him. What can I do? I can't go back on my word, right?"

"Haha... Brother Mengde, don't be anxious." Li Zhi chuckled, comforted Cao Cao, and said, "It's actually not difficult to solve this matter. Did Brother Mengde forget who the governor of Ye County is?"

"The governor of Ye County?!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing Li Zhidi's words, then he slapped his forehead and sighed: "Oh! Why did Brother Wei forget his ambition?"

At this time, Cao Cao had completely put his heart in his stomach.

Although the head of the Zhou family is indeed likely to hand over all the city defenses in Yecheng to their Zhou family.

However, Yecheng City Guards are not able to act arbitrarily!

His superior is the governor of Ye County, and the governor of Ye County is Xi Zhicai!

As long as Xi Zhicai said hello, the city defense of Yecheng would not be the Zhou family's one-man rule.

At that time, no matter how hard the Zhou family makes, nothing big will happen!

After thinking it through, Cao Cao yawned, waved his hand tiredly, and said, "My brother Xingzhi, since everything has been resolved, then you can go back and rest first.

My brother was also a little tired, so he went back to bed first. He had to get up early to entertain the ministers tomorrow."

After saying that, Cao Cao stood up and stretched, then headed towards the back hall.

He and Li Zhi had a very good relationship, so he didn't care about the etiquette.

Seeing this, Li Zhi didn't care. He nodded and then headed towards the guest room.

He has been living in Cao Cao's mansion these days and is very familiar with Cao Cao's mansion, so he doesn't need others to lead the way. In a short while, he came to his own room.

After Li Zhi lay on the bed, he did not fall asleep immediately, but recalled what had happened recently.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the top of the bed and murmured to himself: "Now, the interior is finally coming to a stable level. Now, we will wait for a few years to recuperate and fight the other princes' army!

When the final battle is over, my mission is also completed. By then, I should have passed

Some comfortable days.”

With a yearning for the future, Li Zhi's eyelids gradually became heavier, and he fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

The next morning.

"Ha" After washing up, Li Zhi yawned a lot, stared at him and slowly headed towards Cao Cao's hall.

He hasn't had enough sleep, but today is the day to end all civil strife, so he cannot be absent and can only force himself to come here.

After he arrived at the hall, he found that dozens of people were already bustling in the hall.

These people are all officials of the aristocratic family. They received an order from Cao Cao yesterday to come here to deal with the aristocratic family rebellion today.

When they received this news, the ministers were all confused. They could not understand what the aristocratic family had to do with rebellion?

All the army of the aristocratic family were stationed outside the city without any abnormal movement, and the people in the city were all a group of literati with no power. How did they rebel?

With this question, they stood up before dawn, and came to Cao Cao's mansion, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

And those Xun Yu and others who knew a little about the family immediately surrounded Li Zhi after seeing Li Zhi come in.

Xun You frowned and asked, "Brother Xingzhi, what happened last night? Why did the lord gather here today?"

"Haha..." Li Zhi's face was gone with sleepiness when he heard this. He chuckled. After looking at the only seeds of the two aristocratic families, the head of the Yuan family and the head of the Zhou family, he said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the people of the aristocratic family think that their official position is too small, so he sent a group of dead soldiers to surround the lord's mansion to force the lord to sign the appointment document.

After that, the lord suddenly fought back and defeated the aristocratic family.

The reason why the lord summoned us here today is to discuss how to deal with the people of the aristocratic family."

"What?! How is this possible?!" After Xun Yu, Xun You and others heard Li Zhidi's words, they were all full of surprise and confusion.

In their opinion, if the aristocratic family really wanted to rebel, how could they not bring hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city?

Besides, they knew that there were at least 10,000 people guarding Cao Cao’s mansion!

How could less than a thousand dead men in the aristocratic family hold Cao Cao hostage? Is this a fool?!

"I also think it's impossible, but..." Speaking of this, Li Zhi spread his hands, curled his lips, and said, "But that's the truth!"

"This..." After hearing Li Zhidi's words, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Although they knew that Li Zhi was lying, since Cao Cao and Li Zhi had both admitted the matter, the fake became real!

After understanding this, most people kept their mouths tightly and stopped talking.

Things are already very obvious, this is how Cao Cao intends to attack the aristocratic family!

As for the so-called besiege of Cao Cao’s mansion...

This is obviously an excuse!

However, this matter has nothing to do with them, such as officials from aristocratic families, so they were happy to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

However, Xun Yu and Xun You and his uncle and nephew were different from others. They received an urgent letter from their family this morning, asking them to do their best to protect the families.
