244. The death of Cao Ang
Han Fei nodded and said, "Now the territory of the lord is getting bigger and bigger, and there are relatively fewer talents. However, most of the capable people are from aristocratic families. It is not that these people are not available, but that they mostly put their aristocratic interests first. This will pose a threat to the lord's great cause. Therefore, I suggest that you invest in building a library in all the cities under the lord's command."
Mi Zhu was stunned and said, "What is a library?"
Han Fei laughed and said, "As the name suggests, the library is a place for books storage. No matter who needs to pay a deposit, he can become a member of the library. Then he can borrow books for free. After he has read it, he can borrow other books. If he doesn't want to borrow it, he can repay the book and the deposit can still be returned to him. You must know that the most lacking of poor families is books. If the library is successfully opened, the talents under the lord's rule will no longer be monopolized by aristocratic families. In less than a few years, poor families will surely grow. Is it feasible to ask you to spend money to build a library here?"
After hearing this, Mi Zhu clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing! If I invested in building a library, the person who came to borrow books would be grateful to me, and the business of the Mi family will become easier to do."
Han Fei continued: "You are right. This library seems to have invested a lot, but if it works for a long time, it can still make a profit. It's just a little slower."
Mi Zhu waved his hand and said, "I don't care whether Ying is profitable or not. The key is to gain a good reputation. In this way, I am a paper-making and a library. Who dares to say that my Mi family is not a scholarly family? Hahaha!" In short, Mi Zhu felt that this trip was too worthwhile. With Han Fei's idea, no matter how much money he earned, no one dared to say that his fault was wrong. Because under Liu Bei's rule, there must be millions of scholars who would say good things for him. Who dares to offend so many scholars at the same time, even aristocratic families would not dare to do this.
Mi Zhu left with joy. As soon as he left, Liu Bei sent someone to recruit Han Fei to see him quickly. Han Fei didn't know what happened, so he immediately stood up and headed for the provincial governor's mansion.
After he arrived, he found that Jia Xu was also here, and there were also Tian Feng, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Gu Yong and others. Han Fei stepped forward to salute Liu Bei, then nodded slightly to the people present and sat in his seat.
At this time, Liu Bei saw that everyone came and said, "Wenhe will tell you about those two messages!"
"It's the lord!" Jia Xu agreed, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and then opened it and said, "Sun Ce in Jiangnan went out hunting a few days ago. He didn't want to be injured by Xu Gong's disciples. He was deeply poisoned at the time of treatment. He said that he would be poisoned in only five days. Now it was six days after Gu sent the letter, so whether Sun Ce was dead or alive should be known."
Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, looked at the expressions of the people around him, and then said, "The other thing is that Cao Cao led his troops to attack Wancheng. Uncle and nephew Zhang Ji had surrendered, but somehow they raided the Cao army camp in the middle of the night. Cao Cao was protected by his personal guard general Xu Chu, so he escaped safely, but his eldest son Cao Ang failed to escape and died in the chaos. After protecting Cao Cao and broke out, the general Xu Chu was unconscious due to excessive bleeding."
Han Fei was not shocked after hearing the two news. Unexpectedly, although his arrival changed some things, Sun Ce was still going to die, and Cao Ang could not escape. Thinking of this, Han Fei raised his head and looked at Dian Wei behind Liu Bei. Dian Wei sensed that Han Fei looked at him and grinned at him. Han Fei also smiled and nodded, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, he saved Brother Dian's life!"
At this time, Liu Bei spoke: "What do you think about these two things Wenhe said? Let's talk about your own thoughts."
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Jian Yong spoke, "If I remember correctly, then Sun Ce's child is still young! After his death, will the land of Jiangnan be passed on to his youngest son?"
Han Fei took the conversation and said, "Sun Ce will definitely die, but he will not pass the land of Jiangnan to his youngest son, and he will definitely hand it over to his second brother Sun Quan!" Han Fei just finished speaking, a soldier ran in with a small message tube and said, "Report to the lord, I just received the pigeon letter! Please check it out."
"Very good, come and see me!" After hearing Liu Bei's words, the soldiers stood up and respectfully placed the message tube on Liu Bei's desk. Liu Bei took it apart and couldn't help but take a breath, then raised his head and looked at Han Fei with an incredible look. Everyone was stunned. At this time, Tian Feng coughed lightly and said, "Lord, what is the message in the letter? Why are you surprised?"
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and handed the pigeon letter to him and said, "Yuan Hao, you'd better take a look! After you read it, everyone circulated it." Tian Feng was confused and ended the letter. He was surprised when he saw it. Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head and handed it to Jia Xu.
Soon everyone read the letter, and at this time everyone couldn't help but admire Han Fei. It turned out that the letter was not anything else, Sun Ce passed away, and his successor was his second brother Sun Quan. At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but sighed: "Zi Cong is indeed a great talent, and he can actually calculate Sun Ce's idea. With him, I don't have to worry about the great cause!"
However, for their admiration, Han Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I just loved playing the Three Kingdoms game in my previous life. But then again, could Boss Cao tease Zhang Ji's wife again this time?"
Han Fei guessed correctly, it was indeed the case. Zhang Ji was not a troublemaker. When he learned that Cao Cao led his army to attack, he immediately gave up the idea of resisting. As soon as Cao Cao's army arrived, he immediately opened the city and surrendered.
Then Cao Cao was led to the city by their uncle and nephew, and Zhang Ji held a banquet to greet Cao Cao. Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin followed Cao Cao into the city. He did not go to the banquet, but took his subordinates to wander around the city. By chance, he discovered a woman who was extremely beautiful, so he tied the woman in the street and sent it back to the camp, and threw it into Cao Cao's tent.
Cao Cao was a little drunk that night. When he returned to his tent, he found a beautiful woman tied to the bed. Cao Cao asked his guards and learned that it was Cao Anmin who tied him up to him. So Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then put on his clothes and untied his belt to achieve good things with the beautiful woman.
However, Cao Cao did not know that this beautiful woman was Zhang Ji's wife Zou. After the banquet, Zhang Ji received a report from his servants, and he was furious. As the saying goes, the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife is intolerable. Zhang Ji called Zhang Xiu immediately, and the two of them lit up their troops and went out of the city to attack the camp.
Cao's army was defeated by them without any preparation! In order to cover his father's retreat, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang immediately took people to cut off the rear, and then he died in the chaos and was only 19 years old.
