Chapter 646 Chen Gong: Don't fall for it! There's definitely Old Six lying in ambush!
"Oh? You'd like to serve as our guide as we penetrate deep into the Xianbei grasslands?"
Fa Zheng looked meaningfully at Xu Miao, who was carrying a rattan cane on his back in the heavy snow, playing the role of "bearing thorns to apologize."
"Xu Jingshan is willing to be the vanguard!"
"I am at your service, sir!"
Xu Miao was much smarter than Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe, that scoundrel, only knows how to provoke Zhao Yun. He has already been escorted to Xuchang and will probably be beheaded at Caishikou in a few days.
Xu Miao knew that whether he could survive at this moment depended on how much value he brought!
"You're quite clever, aren't you?"
"But do you admit or not that you followed Ju Zonghua in the rebellion?"
Fa Zheng smiled and looked at Xu Miao.
Xu Miao dared not deny it, and hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying:
"It is all my fault!"
"Please forgive me, sir!"
Fa Zheng nodded noncommittally, and then said:
As the sage said, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."
"I suppose you, Xu Miao, did not truly intend to rebel against your lord, but were instead coerced by the crowd and had no choice but to do so."
Xu Miao looked moved.
A close friend!
I really didn't want to oppose it.
But all the elders in the clan told me to rebel, and I had no choice, otherwise my position as clan leader would be usurped!
Just as Xu Miao was overcome with gratitude towards Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng abruptly changed the subject and said:
"Since you have realized your mistake, I will not hold it against you too much."
"Alright then, I also feel that we have a connection. After you complete this guiding task, I will point you in the right direction!"
Upon hearing this, every hair on Xu Miao's body trembled.
What a kind person!
I never expected that Mr. Fazheng would treat him so well!
"Hmm, Xu Miao, are you familiar with the Cao Camp's Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?"
Xu Miao nodded vigorously:
"I've heard that's the most crucial department in Cao Cao's camp, and only the most outstanding individuals from all over the country can enter it!"
"There's a rumor in the Central Plains Daily that those who enter the Ministry of Personnel will all become high-ranking officials in the future!"
Fa Zheng pinched his lower back to prevent himself from bursting out laughing.
Don't blame Fazheng for not having received professional training; it's just that this is so funny!
As an important member of the small group of runaway cattle and horses of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, Fa Zheng certainly knew what the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat's mansion was like.
The fact that the Ministry of Personnel's office could enjoy such a prestigious reputation outside the capital was naturally because Xun Yu had also "spent money" on the Central Plains Daily!
However, Xun Yu's method of spending money is different from the usual way of spending money.
Before Yang Xiu was arrested, he spent real money on the Central Plains Daily.
But Yang Xiu earned a considerable sum of money from his writing, so he still made a fortune and became a regular writer for the Central Plains Daily.
Our Xun Lingjun's method of spending money can be described as simple and brutal.
He brought with him "special products" from the Ministry of Rites to visit Xi Zhicai, the editor-in-chief of the Central Plains Daily.
Upon meeting Xi Zhicai, he said only two things:
"Will you help my Minister's Mansion with publicity?"
"If you don't help, I'll forcibly take your son into the Minister's residence after his coming-of-age ceremony!"
Xi Zhicai wasn't easily frightened.
Despite his long experience, he immediately knelt down!
Nima!
As a veteran of Cao Cao's camp, he had watched helplessly as the monster of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat's mansion grew stronger and stronger step by step!
Among all the departments in Cao Cao's camp, the Ministry of Personnel held a superior position and special privileges.
Apart from the special offices of the Minister of Works, the Commandant of the Imperial Guards, and the Court of Justice, the Office of the Minister of Personnel has the right to select talents first!
What if that shameless Xun Yu really manages to get Xi Zhicai's son imprisoned?
Even if Xi Zhi can rescue his son, it will leave an indelible shadow in his son's heart!
Well, it's best to avoid getting involved with places like the Minister's residence if possible!
Therefore, Xi Zhicai not only promoted Xun Yu for free, but also praised him highly.
It was as if this mansion of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was the final destination for all the talented people in the world!
The information in the Central Plains Daily that Xu Miao read was all carefully selected.
The Minister's residence had become his dream place!
“Jingshan, to be honest, I have a good relationship with Lord Xun of the Minister’s Office.”
"If I, Fa, were to ask, I could certainly get you a position in the Minister's residence!"
"Even if your official position is temporarily lowered because of your involvement in treason."
"But as long as you can stand out from the Minister's office, whether you become one of the Three Dukes or one of the Nine Ministers, your future is promising!"
Fa Zheng adopted the air of a wise and enlightened master, patiently instructing his junior, Xu Miao.
Xu Miao was incredibly excited as he listened!
If she were a woman, she would have wanted to marry Fazheng on the spot to repay this kindness.
Mr. Fa, you are a kind man!
Fa Zheng was overjoyed.
He finally understood what Su Yu was feeling when he set a trap for him and made him choose the Minister's Mansion!
It's really satisfying to give people the feeling of digging a hole!
Poor Xu Miao, at this moment, had no idea that he had stepped into a devil's pit.
Want to escape this hellhole? Hehehe, it won't be that easy!

冀州
广宗
Ju Zong stared intently at the map not far away.
There has been no news yet regarding the battle situation in Youzhou.
Compared to Youzhou, the situation in Jizhou is clearly more tense.
Although the Jizhou aristocratic families were far stronger than the Youzhou aristocratic families, and had mobilized far more troops, they also had the Xianbei army led by Kebineng as an aid.
However, the Cao army surrounding Ji Province numbered as many as 120,000!
The sheer number of famous generals from Cao Cao's camp was enough to give Ju Zong a huge headache.
Looking at his own troops, he found that there were hardly any capable and skilled warriors among them.
Comparing the quality of the generals on both sides, even the usually arrogant Ju Zong couldn't help but show despair.
Once upon a time, when Ju Shou was still alive, how powerful the aristocratic families of Ji Province were!
While we wouldn't say we have a plethora of renowned generals, we certainly have plenty to spare, so there's no shortage of capable personnel.
And now?
Zhang He, who was once under Ju Shou's command, became the vanguard of Cao Cao's camp!
With 15,000 troops under his command, they were only about 100 li away from Guangzong.
This stance is clearly a provocation!
Chen Gong walked in from outside with a furrowed brow.
Seeing that Ju Zong looked like he was about to explode with anger, Chen Gong raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Chen Gongtai? What are you doing?"
Ju Zong was very unhappy.
I'm here contemplating the battle situation, and instead of helping me, you're getting in my way?
Chen Gong laughed:
"I'm here to remind you not to be misled by Zhang He's 15,000 men!"
"Based on Chen's understanding of those scoundrels in Cao Cao's camp, Zhang He, who seemed swaggering and full of flaws, was actually just a bait."
"Once you actually send troops to deal with Zhang He, those unscrupulous people hiding in the shadows will swarm out!"
"At that time, not to mention other cities, even Guangzong is very likely to be captured in one battle!"
It must be said that Chen Gong's reasoning was very accurate.
For a qualified general in Cao Cao's camp, a lack of martial ethics is a basic requirement.
If they're willing to play dirty tricks, they'll never fight you fair and square!
