Jin Shang, who started from Chang'an to Yanzhou for his post, was in a state of pride. The governor of Yanzhou was a rank of officials arrested by the military and political authorities. As long as he could successfully take office, he would become a prince. And on the way, he received news that Cao Aman had repelled the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. As long as he used the imperial edict to let Cao Aman give up Yanzhou, he would definitely achieve something.

Jin Shang looked down on Cao Cao, who was born into a eunuch and bureaucrat, from the bottom of his heart. Although Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was very different from other eunuchs, such as making friends with scholars and using his personalities as a close minister to promote famous scholars to make ministers in the court feel very fond of him. He also paid 100 million yuan to buy the Taiwei, which was also considered to be the third duke, but he was a eunuch after all. In the eyes of the orthodox scholars, the Cao family still belonged to the "cold clan" without political privileges, and had a much lower status than the orthodox aristocratic families.

But even though he looked down on him, Cao Cao's reputation still made Jin Shang a little scared. It is said that before Cao Cao became a tyrannical person before he became an official, he once broke into the bedroom of Zhang Rang, the Zhongchang servant who was favored by the emperor. Zhang Rang was closing his eyes and resting. He found that a stranger had broken in. He thought it was an assassin sent by the person who was persecuted. The guards closed the door and rushed up with swords and spears. Cao Cao took a halberd from the bedroom to the outside of the house, and beat the guards to the head and ran away. Finally, he watched him climb over the wall.

Especially in recent years, the battle with the Yellow Turbans, assassinating Dong Zhuo, and prosecuting edicts, and the alliance between the princes has caused a lot of controversy in the world. Everyone knows the name of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. So although they look down on Cao Cao, they are not afraid of it at all. This time, Jin Shang came here, in addition to bringing his own troops of two thousand soldiers, he also turned a corner to Nanyang for help from Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, who was entrenched in Nanyang, considered himself the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao was just the son of the "maid envoy" who was born in the Yuan family. However, this time, Yuan Shao was introduced to serve as the leader of the alliance, which made Yuan Shao's reputation and strength far surpass him in terms of himself. The Yuan family's disciples and former officials all depended on Yuan Shao, instead of submitting to him, so he was very dissatisfied. At present, Yuan Shu was united in Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao's alliance was fighting for pleasure. If he could get Yanzhou's franchise, he would have a greater chance of winning. So when he saw that Yuan's disciple Jin Shang came to ask for his help, he also took the initiative to propose that he would form an alliance with him and respect him as the main force, so he readily borrowed five thousand soldiers and horses to Jin Shang.

With the imperial edict and the five thousand soldiers and his own troops, Jin Shang was very confident and had begun to imagine how to manage the territory and realize his ambitions after taking over.

Cao Cao was very angry after receiving the news. After working hard for a year, he had just settled Yanzhou, but the court sent someone to receive his own results at this time. How could people not have the idea of ​​cursing themselves? But in order to cope with this crisis, they had to suppress their anger and summon their main subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

The current discussion is very different from before. In the past, there were four or five people. Now dozens of civil and military personnel packed the main hall of the governor's mansion. The literature includes Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Gong, Wan Qian, Liu Ye, Man Chong, etc. The military generals include Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Miao, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin, Mao Jie, Lu Qian, etc.

When Cao Cao walked into the meeting hall under Dian Wei's escort, he sat down and said, "I'm summoning you to come this time because it is reported that Jin Shang, the newly appointed governor of Yanzhou, was about to arrive with an edict. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Look at me, I see you are silent. People like Cao and Xiahou brothers who started with Cao Cao certainly do not want to be thrust by others, but at present, several of them, including me, are not willing to express their opinions first, and the newly invested civil and military officials are unwilling to speak on this matter. So everyone is waiting for someone to express their attitude first. The attitude of local officials represented by Wan Qian, the rule of Yanzhou, towards Jin Shang sent by the court this time, directly affects whether Cao Cao can gain a foothold in Yanzhou.

Time passed by minute by minute, and an uneasy aura echoed in the hall.

Wan Qian was in a difficult situation at this time. On one side was Cao Cao who fought hard for Yanzhou, while on the other side was Jin Shang who was carrying the imperial edict today. Although Cao Cao made military achievements to protect Yanzhou, local officials in Yanzhou were indifferent, but Jin Shang, who was appointed by the official imperial edict of the court, was the legitimate governor of Yanzhou.

But there are really people who are not afraid of death. When a local Yanzhou official saw that no one was talking, he cleared his throat and stood up and said, "The envoy came with the emperor's edict. We should respectfully invite the governor of Jin Shang to take over Yanzhou." After that, he glanced proudly at the people in the hall. Wan Qian was so angry that he really wanted to go over and kick the unknown little man out.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The envoy represents the destiny of heaven, and he should be kind. Who else has this intention?"

After hearing Cao Cao's performance, five or six unknown people immediately praised Cao Gong for his loyalty, righteousness and wisdom, as a model of the court. Several wise and profound strategists watched coldly, and many generals also smiled and watched the performance of several clowns.

Seeing that these local officials were so incompetent, Wan Qian felt a fever on his face and cursed in his heart: "Everyone is not successful and there are more than enough failures." But if he doesn't express his opinion at this time, there are probably few local officials who can stand out of the door today, so he walked up to drink and return the people and said, "Duke Cao, this time the envoy came with the edict is still rumored, and he doesn't know the authenticity. Therefore, before he saw the envoy and the edict, he asked Cao to continue to take charge of the government affairs in Yanzhou."

Xi Zhicai and I exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes we both felt very surprised by Wan Qian's words. With Wan Qian's straightforward personality, it should be impossible for him to say such smooth words. Could it be that there is any expert who is giving advice from behind? I turned my eyes to Chen Gong, while Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Miao.

Cao Cao was quite satisfied with Wan Qian's attitude and nodded and said, "It's so good, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Le Jin obeyed the order."

The three of them whispered loudly: "The last one will be there."

Cao Cao said: "Cash thieves are everywhere. In order to ensure the safety of the envoy, they led 20,000 troops to meet the envoy. It is not wrong."

The three of them answered: "No!"

Cao Cao said: "Where is Ying Shao?"

Taishan Prefect Ying Shao went out to the line and clasped his fists and said, "The last one will be there."

Cao Cao picked up a letter and said, "My father Cao Song is now living in seclusion in Yanya County. Please bring me a letter to invite him to come. I want to ask him to live his life in Yanzhou."

When Wan Qian and other local officials saw that Cao Cao first sent troops to stop Jin Shang, and then asked someone to take his father over. Not to mention whether the troops sent could block Jin Shang, Cao Cao was impatient to let his father come over, which was obviously unwilling to give up Yanzhou. Although he was unhappy, Yanzhou is now Cao Cao, and he could only let him do it.

"Cao Song...Langya County...Xuzhou!Liu Bei...Lu Bu!" After the meeting, I slowly walked behind everyone as I muttered these things.
