Cui Yan sat in the hall in plain clothes, looking at his son Cui Qin walking back from the outside, with a plain expression and seemed a little unhappy.

"My father..." Cui Qin lowered his head.

Cui Yan looked at Cui Qin coldly and stopped talking for a while.

Cui Qin felt a little sweaty on his head.

"You have grown up, have you made your own decision?" Cui Yan said to Cui Qin, "Do you know when it is now?"

Cui Qin lowered his head and said, "My father... Your Majesty, Your Majesty personally asked the child about his knowledge, that is... well, um..."

Cui Yan stared at Cui Qin, "I'm asking if you know when it's now?"

Cui Yan didn't care what official positions his child had obtained, because he knew that these official positions were all empty, just like the moon in the flower well in the water. It looked good, but it didn't have any use for birds.

In Jizhou and Yuzhou, the entire Shandong area is not about official positions, but about territory and connections.

If you don’t have your own territory or connections, even if you have an official position, you will be quickly taken down...

Cui Qin thought it was his knowledge that the emperor could appreciate, but he didn't know that the emperor really thought he was good at learning?

『…』 Cui Qin was silent. Obviously he understood in his heart, but he didn't want to continue to stay behind Cui Yan. He wanted to stand up and get his own title, not just "Cheng Biejia's son".

"You shouldn't have taken the initiative to see Your Majesty..." Cui Yan didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Xu County, he encountered such a thing. He originally thought that the naughty children were from other people's families, but he didn't expect that his own children also turned into a bear. This made Cui Yan very sad and a headache.

"The boy knew his mistake." Cui Qin lowered his head and said, "But Your Majesty invites you to me with great affection..."

『Is that true?』 Cui Yan said in a deep voice, 『You can refuse. If the bus is not enough, you will also have a reputation for being a virtuous person."

Cui Qin was stunned and thought for a moment and said, "My father...but Your Majesty...If my father doesn't want to, the child... can also submit a letter to resign..."

Cui Yan looked at Cui Qin for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Since Your Majesty has given me a gift, how can you let me shirk it? Just do your best. If... If you encounter any crisis in the future... don't take any risk, don't fall into the Cui family's reputation..."

Cui Qin was shocked, "Master Father?"

'A companionship is a companionship tiger.' Cui Yan sighed and said, 'You thought you had obtained an official position, but you didn't know that you had swallowed the bait... Now you can only be careful with your words and actions... be careful by yourself!'

"Sir, Father!" Cui Qin fell to the ground.

"Go and rest." Cui Yan waved his hand, "Don't let the Cui family's reputation fall into the Qing Dynasty."

Cui Qin had no choice but to salute respectfully and slowly retreated.

Cui Yan watched him leave, and his eyes were filled with contemplation.

What is Emperor Liu Xie doing?

He actually put his claws on his son?

Or maybe it’s not just his son, but also the children of other officials in Xu County?

This is really...

interesting.

However, even if Cui Qin jumped in, it made Cui Yan feel unhappy. However, he didn't have much time and energy to deal with this matter now, because Cao Pi, who was in Yecheng, Jizhou, had already urged him three times a day to lead his troops to encircle and suppress the Wei Yan team that was invaded in Jizhou, and it would be difficult for him to continue to delay...

Well, things are everywhere, like being trapped in quicksand. Even if you know what to do, you can't help it.

Originally, Cui Yan thought that letting his son leave Yecheng and come to Xu County was a good choice, but now it seems that the world is full of troubles, where is the real place to live?

...

...

Xiangyang.

After receiving the news of the great change in Jiangling, Cao Ren hurried back to Xiangyang and summoned Cai Mao and other local Jingzhou natives to calm the hearts of the people.

To be honest, Cao Ren and Cai Mao didn't get along well.

Although Cai Mao was not as teased by Zhou Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Cai Mao joined Cao Cao's command, he did not get the territory and population he wanted. Instead, because Cao's family kept drawing blood from Jingzhou, Jingzhou seemed very depressed as a whole.

Moreover, the Cao family has been deliberately or unintentionally guarding against the Cai family. Although they are very polite on the surface and have also been granted the title of Cai Mao, the actual military power is not affected at all. They would rather use Wenpin than let Cai Mao lead the army.

Mrs. Niu is not a problem, but she is called Xiao Tiantian. Now that she saw something wrong in Jiangling, her attitude of urgently summoning her will naturally make Cai Mao feel uncomfortable. Therefore, after Cai Mao met Cao Ren, she still had the etiquette she should have, but she was as if she had played with her two flying all night last night, and she was depressed and wandered around the sky.

『Hmm, cough!』

Cao Ren looked around and his eyes fell heavily on Cai Mao, and then he said in a deep voice, "I have received the trust of the emperor, inherited the high hopes of the prime minister, pacified Jingzhou, treated the scholars with sincerity, and nurtured the people. Now, the Sun family in Jiangdong who is betrayed the alliance and killed the generals and seized our Jiangling, which is a great crime!"

"In the past, a child from Jiangdong asked for Xiangyang, and spoke sincerely, willing to work together to fight against Fei and help each other to help each other. At that time, on the high platform, he swore blood and swore to alliance, but his words were still in his ears! Unexpectedly, the rats in Jiangdong took advantage of my unpreparedness and sent troops to attack Jiangling, kill our military academy, and harm our people! I felt so heartbroken when I heard it!"

"The Sun family in Jiangdong does not want to serve the country, but knows that they are greedy and greedy, which is really despicable and shameless! Jiangling is a major city in the country. I trust the heart of my heart and entrusted Jiangdong to temporarily stay. I originally hope that Jiangdong can guard it with loyalty and benevolence. Unexpectedly, the thief of Jiangdong has ulterior motives and even raises up to seize my city and kill my good generals. His feelings are hateful and his actions are punished!"

"I am now expressing my congratulations to the emperor and swear to fight south to expedite Jiangling to correct the world's momentum! I will surely bring Sun's rebellion to justice to comfort Jiangling's soldiers and people's spirits in heaven!"

Cao Ren shouted a few high-profile words, and saw that Cai Mao and others were still lowering their heads and not getting into the salt, they couldn't help but feel the nameless fire in their hearts. They snorted coldly and said, "At this time of crisis, you should be united and united to fight difficulties together! In the past, the people were in trouble. Is it because of the loss of this sincere heart that caused great chaos in Jingzhou?"

"It was said in ancient times, "The tree that is embraced with is grown in a thin piece of hair; the nine-story platform starts from the buried soil." If you all here today can give up your ego and achieve great achievements, why worry about the loss of Jiangling and the unrest of Jingzhou?"

Cao Ren was indeed annoyed.

The main reason is that Jingzhou is alone and has to attack Wuguan and support Hanzhong. Now it has been stabbed by Jiangdong again, and Jingzhou has their own hearts and minds. It is said that Cao Ren had time and means to fight and support one faction before, but now, he is like supporting a house with leaks everywhere, and it is about to collapse.

If chanting slogans can defeat the enemy, then Cao Ren simply asked a group of civil servants to stand at the top of the city and shout slogans...

In the end, you still have to have a big stick in your hand.

This sneak attack in Jiangdong really caught Cao Ren off guard.

He did expect Jiangdong to tear up the covenant, but he didn't expect Jiangdong to be so soon!

Cao Ren originally thought that if Jiangdong could not last for two or three years, it would be fine if he could last for at least one year!

result……

And the key is that Cao Ren's attacks in both Wuguan and Hanzhong were not smooth!

Cao Ren also knew that it was indeed difficult to fight Wuguan and Hanzhong, but the change is too embarrassing now. The attack failed to achieve the effect, and his chrysanthemum was stabbed by his allies!

Cao Ren thought about it all over and over again, but now he could only draw some blood from the natives of Jingzhou.

First, Cao Cao was fighting fiercely in Heluo and Heluo, and there were no extra soldiers to support the deployment. Even if there were any, he would have detoured from Heluo to Jingzhou, and all the dishes were cold.

On the other hand, Jizhou is now attacked by Wei Yan, and the land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is also in a panic. In addition, the guys in Qingzhou and Xuzhou are also a little unstable, so the soldiers and horses around Xu County cannot move around.

Without foreign aid, we can only mobilize the fellow villagers in Jingzhou to expand domestic demand...
