Chapter 101 What on earth blinded me? [Please order first]

Zhongmu County is really close to Chenliu County.

Although it belongs to Henan Yin, it is greatly influenced by Chenliu County. Basically, as long as it controls Chenliu County, Zhongmu County is nothing more than a thing in the palm of your hand.

Therefore, Cao Ang originally planned to let Chen Gong continue to serve as the county magistrate here. When his side joined the alliance and officially led his troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Chen Gong would join the main force halfway.

In this way, one more county town can be held in hand.

You can also use the land and resources of Zhongmou County to expand your power.

However, considering that Zhongmu County was radiated by Chenliu County, Cao Ang finally gave up the idea and simply asked Chen Gong to follow him.

As long as Chenliu County is in hand, Zhongmu County can send troops to garrison at any time without having to worry too much.

At this moment, I am in the pavilion of the county government office.

After the tea party ended, Cao Cao and his son came out of the teahouse, each standing in the pavilion with their hands clasped, enjoying the slightly cool summer and autumn evening breeze.

At the same time, he organized his thoughts and made a clear understanding of the many things that had just happened.

Cao Cao leaned on the pillar of the pavilion.

He turned around to look at his son who was quietly looking at the flower garden not far away, feeling full of emotion in his heart.

There are many complex colors on the face.

This brat!

With just a reputation and a few words, a county magistrate with a bright future was deceived into working as an errand.

After staying here for one night, I not only enjoyed good food and drinks, but also had people kidnapped.

This ability is beyond imagination!

It's shocking!

Is this the personal charm of my son Cao Ang?

So scary!

Before Chen Gong expressed his willingness to follow the two of them, Cao Cao had never thought about it.

Although a county magistrate is not a particularly important official position, it is not on the same level as his own prefect.

But he is also a local governor.

Being able to control the fate of the people in a county, how many people would look up to him and call him a parent official.

What's more, he is not very old and does not have a particularly strong background. Being able to achieve this position already shows that he is very capable and capable.

Judging from the previous resolute refusal of his father and son to go to the city to rest, Chen Gong is definitely a person with a firm mind, a cautious personality, and a thoughtful and comprehensive consideration of things.

If it were placed in the Taiping years and the officials in the world governed the Qingming Dynasty and followed the established promotion rules, in a few years, Chen Gongtai would definitely be a high-ranking member of the imperial court.

Such a talented person.

He has both power and talent in his hands.

Faced with the vision promised to him by Cao Ang, he gave up his position as county magistrate without saying a word. He wanted nothing. He gave up his family and career but had to follow Cao Ang to do great things.

Cao Cao was deeply moved for a moment.

How many of the rich and powerful children of our families are eating the merits accumulated by their fathers, lying on their merit books and waiting to die, hoping that their fathers' abilities will become bigger and bigger, so that they can also enjoy it.

Only when it's your turn.

But it is my son’s credit to eat.

His official position, the soldiers and horses under him, and even the talents who helped him form a team were all obtained by his son through various means.

Others gnaw at the old and he gnaws at the young.

This is so...so cool!

Cao Cao's mentality has now been adjusted. Not only did he not feel decadent, depressed or ashamed, but he also became more motivated to fight.

His son has paved the road for him. If he, a father, doesn't step up step by step, then what are he waiting for? Wouldn't it be a waste of Ang'er's good intentions?

After secretly clenching his fists.

Cao Cao made up his mind.

I will definitely do something great, kill the traitor Dong, and restore peace to the world. At that time, I will be granted the title of marquis and general, and I will honor my ancestors and let my son be a real second generation for a time!

…………

"Father, after leaving Zhongmu County tomorrow, should we change our route?"

Cao Ang's sudden question interrupted Cao Cao's reverie and brought his attention back.

"Um?"

"Ah, we really need to change our itinerary. We won't go to Junyi County next. We will go straight to Chenliu County, the county seat of Chenliu County."

The reason why I say this.

It was because Chen Gong had just stated that he wanted to follow the two of them and they became their own people.

Chen Gong also revealed a piece of news.

That is, while the Cao family's troops were on their way, Dong Zhuo had already sent messengers from Luoyang to announce several appointments to the eastern and northern states and counties.

Including the appointment of Han Fu as the shepherd of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Niao as the governor of Yuzhou, etc.

What caught the most attention of the father and son was the appointment of Zhang Miao as the governor of Chenliu.

Zhang Miao is also a very famous person in the world. When he was young, he was known for his chivalry and charity. He did not hesitate to spend all his money to help the poor.

People all over the world call him one of the Eight Chefs.

And this person happened to have a close relationship with Cao Cao, and they had an irreversible friendship. They were considered very good friends.

Now that this person is serving as the prefect of Chenliu County, he has to go to Chenliu County anyway. It is best to use Zhang Miao's strength to quickly set up a shelf, which can save a lot of time.

At the same time, Chenliu County and Jiyin County are adjacent to each other. Since Cao Cao and Zhang Miao are close friends, they can take advantage of this convenience to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and the power of both parties can be raised to a higher level.

In short, go to Chenliu County first, which will bring you all the benefits and no harm.

Of course, this matter was also part of Cao Ang's calculations.

It was because he knew that Dong Zhuo would adopt the suggestions of his subordinates and appoint famous and powerful people from various places as local officials in an attempt to eliminate these people's resistance.

It was only then that Cao Ang and Dong Zhuo asked to exchange the official position of You Zhonglang General for a prefect of Jiyin County, instead of choosing Chenliu County, which was closest to Sili.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh.

Dong Zhuo's politics are really lousy!!!

He would listen to whatever his subordinates said, regardless of the pros and cons of the matter.

Can appointing these famous and powerful people as local officials eliminate the resistance in various places?

If it were so simple, how could the rebels of all dynasties succeed without closing their eyes?

Not only did these small favors not eliminate everyone's desire to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but they also gave these local resistance forces greater convenience, allowing them to use their official positions to recruit troops and openly display their banners.

This bad move is simply unbelievable!

Of course, the more stupid moves Dong Zhuo makes, the more benefits it will bring to Cao Ang.

Suck Dong Zhuo's blood to strengthen himself.

Delightful!

…………

The father and son discussed for a long time the next issue of going to Chenliu.

It was getting late into the night.

And now that it is summer and autumn, the evening breeze is still a bit chilly, so we simply go back to our rooms to sleep.

After bidding farewell to my father.

Cao Ang did not return to the room immediately.

Instead, he went around to the innermost room of the courtyard, where he arranged the Queen Mother He and his family.

After all, this was an unfamiliar environment. If he didn't check the situation before going to sleep, he would feel uneasy after all.

But when he walked to the Queen Mother's house.

But he couldn't help but frown.

Because the room was actually lit by candlelight.

…

The Queen Mother and the whole family have gone to bed long ago!
