After several months, Li Ze met Cao Xin again.

However, as soon as we met, Cao Xin's big gift and worshipping action surprised Li Ze.

Speaking of which, Li Ze was still a little embarrassed when he saw Cao Xin. After all, he had forcibly occupied Xindu and appointed officials to manage it. He was so impressed that Cao Xin's corner. Yizhou was Cao Xin's territory. Yu Gong, he was the governor, Yu Private, although this person did not have any explicit support for him, he ignored him at that time, which was a silent help in himself. What's more, this person is still the biggest and most likely help he won the title of virtue?

He was so anxious that he returned the favor, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to the ground.

"Mr. Cao, please get up quickly. Isn't this a traitor to Li Ze?"

Cao Xin stretched out his hands, held Li Ze's arms, and held him up. Feeling the strength of Cao Xin's hand, Li Ze discovered that this old man who had passed the Jinshi was really good at taking the skills of his hands, and he could barely be considered a brave man, but he could never bend his waist by the other party.

"Young Master, Cao's revenge is not because you are Mr. Li's son, but because you saved Yizhou." Cao Xin sighed: "Cao is in Yizhou. If Yizhou is lost, he will become a lost dog. Even if he is willing to give up all these things outside, Cao's relatives and family are all in Yizhou. If it falls into the hands of the pirates of Henghai, where can there be a way out?"

"Mr. Cao Gong is so serious. Li Ze has been entrusted with Cao Gong's rule over the years. It is natural that he can do something for Cao Gong. Although he is saving people, he is also saving himself." Li Ze said calmly, "I dare not make a contribution."

Cao Xin laughed when he heard this: "Well, it is to save people and save themselves. This is like-mindedness. Young Master, if you had not calculated that Li Che would be defeated and asked me to gather troops in advance to rescue him, Shenzhou would be in danger and Chengde would not be guaranteed. It is actually Chengde's great benefactor."

"The same sentence, it's just to save yourself." Li Ze said: "If Chengde is gone, Cao Gong may still have a place to live, and I, Li, will definitely die without a place to bury me."

Cao Xin nodded repeatedly, saying that ministers can surrender, but kings cannot surrender. This has been the case since ancient times.

"You have all come to see Mr. Li." Cao Xin turned around and shouted.

Two people came out behind Cao Xin. One of them was very familiar with Li Ze. Wang Mingyi, who had worked with him for more than two years, looked a little haggard at this moment, while the other was tall and majestic, with a somewhat similar face to Cao Xin.

"I've seen Mr. Li." The two of them saluted with their fists.

"Brother Wang, please get up quickly." Li Ze helped Wang Mingyi up and looked at another one: "Shut Li Ze's eyes are so clumsy. This person has never seen him, is it Cao Gong..."

"It is my incompetent second son Cao Zhang." Cao Xin introduced.

"I've met Brother Cao." Li Ze smiled and bowed with fists.

"Hello, Mr. Li." Cao Zhang's expression was a little dull and his eyes were also a little flashing.

I have heard that Cao Xin's two sons are ineffective, which forced Cao Xin to vigorously train Wang Mingren. But now that Wang Mingren dies, the Cao Wang family can never find someone who can stand alone. It seems that Cao Xin can only introduce Wang Mingyi. Wang Mingyi is actually a very smart person, but he has never been involved in military and political affairs.

Cao Xin came here this time, probably not simply expressing his gratitude to him, but he had something important to discuss with him.

Sure enough, after the greetings, Cao Xin waved his hand and asked Wang Mingyi and Cao Zhang to retreat, leaving only Cao Xin and Li Ze in the room.

After Li Mi made tea for the two of them, he tiptoed out of the study room, brought it to the door, and guarded outside the door.

"Li Che is dead, what are the plans for the young master?" Cao Xin went straight in: "Are you going to enter Zhenzhou?"

Li Ze took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, but shook his head: "Duke Cao, although Li Che died, I am afraid that it will not happen for a moment. Now my father brought Li Che's coffin back to Zhenzhou for burial. To be reasonable, he should call me into Zhenzhou in the name of commemorating his brother, and he could take this opportunity to let me worship my ancestors, genealogy, and confirm the name. But until now, there is still no news, which shows that there is quite a lot of resistance to this matter. If my father summoned me to Zhenzhou at this time, it would be very likely that Chengde would fall apart, so he could only pretend to be confused and pretend not to know."

"Young Master is wise and can understand the benefits of this matter. Cao is very happy. To be honest, I have always been worried that my son will become dirty with Mr. Li again because of this matter! Before leaving, I had a deep conversation with Mr. Li, and Mr. Li was also helpless. On this matter, Suning strongly opposed it. Li Anmin was ambiguous, and You Yong, Wang Sili and others remained silent. It has already explained the problem. Please wait patiently. Mr. Li will definitely have a complete plan for this matter. Mr. Li only has a son like you, Mr. Li, and Chengde will eventually become yours. As long as Zhenzhou supports you, Mr. Yi, and I, Yizhou, the master will be invincible."

Li Ze laughed dryly: "Thank you here for the first time. But Li Ze, I have never wanted to do it because of others. So I can't passively wait for my father's call. I would rather enter Zhenzhou with a stronger attitude."

Cao Xin was shocked: "Young Master, what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I will not be in trouble in Chengde. My goal is Henghai." Li Ze said: "I want to take down the four prefectures of Henghai first. At this point, I have reached an agreement with the court. As long as I take down Henghai, the court will immediately enthrone me as the governor of Henghai. At that time, when Chengde and others look at me again, I will not be just the son of Li Anguo."

Cao Xin was stunned and speechless.

"The future trend is now clear. I'm afraid that the fist is bigger and the reason is even bigger." Li Ze said lightly: "At that time, I will have both family affection and power, and I won't be afraid that they will not accept me."

"Li Anmin is ambiguous because he also hopes to become the governor of Chengde. You Yong and Wang Sili are silent in the prefecture because they fought with the Wang family in the past. Among these two groups, You Yong and Wang Sili are more likely to support the young master, but they need the young master to do something." Cao Xin digested Li Ze's plan and spoke again.

"This is natural." Li Ze said: "The grudge between the Wang and Li families was a matter of many years ago. At that time, I was not born yet. What hatred do I have for them? If I really want to talk about enemies, isn't the biggest thing my own? If I want to avenge the Wang family, will I kill my own family? Isn't this ridiculous? The past is, and we should put the present first. We should ask Cao Gong to ease this matter for me. If I come to the door rashly, it will be difficult to gain trust from others."

Cao Xin nodded slightly.

"As for my second uncle," Li Ze laughed: "It's not that I look down on him, but in fact, his mentality of worrying about gains and losses and his decisive style are easier to deal with than Suning. If a person like Suning really goes crazy without hesitation, it will be more likely to be bad."

"So the young master made arrangements around him in advance?" Cao Xinshi said with a smile.

Li Ze smiled awkwardly: "This is an accident. I was just a casual move, but I didn't expect it to be a key move in the future."

"Mr. Gongsun analyzed that it is very likely that Mr. Li had also buried chess pieces by Suning, but now he can't guess who it is." Cao Xin said: "This matter is probably true."

Hearing this, Li Zeleng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "So, the old man really has the style of a military governor, and he is not as confused as he is yet to be confused!"

"The son does not tell the father's fault. The young master is careful. In front of outsiders, you must not show any dissatisfaction with Mr. Li. This is not just filial piety!" Cao Xin warned.

Li Ze clasped his fists and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for reminding me, it is precisely because I don't treat Mr. Cao as an outsider that I am so unscrupulous!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"When it comes to managing Henghai, I'm afraid there are many difficulties." Cao Xin got back to the story, "The young master burned Dezhou to white land, which certainly hindered Zhu Shou's next revenge on Yizhou, but it also brought the same dilemma for our future attack on Cangzhou. Furthermore, the young master wanted to manage the four states of Henghai and become a place of virtue, but I was afraid that only Yizhou would support me. Is this power a little thin?"

"It's not thin at all." Li Ze said with a smile: "Henghai no longer has four states. Dezhou has become a white land, and Jingzhou is no longer his. Liu Chenglin killed the governor of Jingzhou Lu Jin, and stopped Feng Song, and became independent."

"Ah!" Cao Xin opened his mouth wide in surprise. He had just returned from Shenzhou. Things in the state were in a mess. Because he did not do a good job in flood prevention after spring plowing in time, the land of Yizhou suffered heavy losses. He had always focused on internal affairs and did not pay attention to this matter at all.

"Where did the young master come from?"

Hearing this, Li Ze smiled bitterly: "Because Liu Chenglin sent his confidant general to send me a letter."

"The young master and Liu Chenglin are in contact?" Cao Xin once again widened his eyes in surprise. The person in front of him always brought him some unexpected shock.

"It's a bit of a connection with the Liu family." Li Ze told Cao Xin a little helplessly about the Liu family matter to him in detail. When Mrs. Wang was interested in hiring a girl from the Liu family, Cao Xin couldn't help laughing.

"No wonder Liu Chenglin wanted to rebel against Zhu Shou. It must be that after Zhu Shou learned about this, he wanted to take action to defeat Liu Chenglin for the sake of his strength. Unexpectedly, Liu Chenglin was the first to become a chess. Young Master, what did Liu Chenglin say in his letter?"

"If I didn't marry Liu Ruyan, he would meet me. If I marry Liu Ruyan, then Henghai would be Liu Ruyan's dowry!" Li Ze spread his hands and said.

"Miracle!" Cao Xin applauded and laughed: "Liu Chenglin is a powerful general in the north, and he is very famous. With him sending troops in Jingzhou, we send troops from Yizhou, and the two attacked each other. Where can Zhu Shou run? Young Master, you must not hesitate about this matter. Not to mention that Liu Ruyan is so charming, even if she is a sow, she will be married."
