Chapter 501: Persuasion

Cao Tiancheng was also a little confused. Looking at Jiang Jiaquan's unusually solemn expression, he couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "What do you have to say, Chang Shi?"

Jiang Jiaquan tugged at his gray beard and said with a smile, "Master Cao is one of the first people to follow General Gao, right?"

Cao Tiancheng didn't expect that Jiang Jiaquan would actually ask such a sentence when he was serious about his matter. After being slightly stunned, he couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, at that time, General Gao was only eighteen years old. It was his first time to join us." When we were in the military camp, we didn’t even have enough to eat. At that time, I still remember that Sun Xiao went out to look for food and was beaten up by He Lanxiong, but the general went to get it back. "

Wu Kai on the side nodded repeatedly, "The Fufeng County soldiers at that time were really miserable, but Lao Cao, you are very lucky to have met a genius like Gao Yuan. The Fufeng County soldiers at that time are still alive today. All of them have already achieved prominent official positions. People like Lao Cao, Sun Xiao, Yan Haibo, Naha, Zheng Xiaoyang, and Yan Haibo are considered to be the most outstanding ones here."

"Yes, you are the first group of people to follow the general, and you are also the most trusted and valued group. Now the main generals of the Eastern Conquest Army, in addition to Meng Chong, Xu Yuan, Ye Zhong, Ye Zhen and others Apart from those Xiongnu generals, the main ones are those who came out of the Fufeng County Army." Jiang Jiaquan smiled, but in the eyes of the other two people, this smile was a bit strange.

Wu Kai stared at Jiang Jiaquan for a long time. After all, he had been an official for many years, but he noticed some clues from Jiang Jiaquan's smile, and his face could not help but darken, "Jiang Changshi, you mean that our Fufeng people Too powerful, isn't it? Hey, it's not just these generals. I, Wu Kai, am also a Fufeng native. Speaking of which, Zheng Jun, who has now gone to Liaoxi City to become the chief historian, can be regarded as half a Fufeng native. What do you mean?"

Jiang Jiaquan shook his head repeatedly, "Wu Chengshou misunderstood. General Gao comes from Fufeng, so it is natural that there are many Fufeng generals or officials under him. I have no objection to you."

Having said that, no matter how slow Cao Tiancheng is. u will not fail to understand the meaning of Jiang Jiaquan's words.

"So, Jiang Changshi is talking about me?" His face darkened, and he looked at Jiang Jiaquan. He didn't understand why the other party was targeting him like this. He had always been independent of others and was in charge of the logistics of the entire labor recruitment army. , but also conscientiously. I don't dare to neglect him at all. It can be said that I have been worried about it in the past few years. Even if Jiang Jiaquan suddenly appears and rises to the top in one step, it will be on my head. I have never discounted his orders. Cao Tiancheng asked himself that he had done nothing wrong, but why did Jiang Jiaquan target him so obviously?

"Master Cao, I'm not talking about you anymore, I'm talking about the Cao family again!" Jiang Jiaquan did not flinch, he looked directly into Cao Tiancheng's eyes and said slowly.

"Cao family?"

"right,

Cao family, Mr. Cao, you are in charge of the entire logistics of the March to the East Army, and you are among the first group of people to follow the general. You have a high position, and your son Cao Tianci is in charge of the Military Law Department of the March to the East Army. The three of us are We know that the real strength of the Military Justice Department does not lie in the open, but in the Ansi Lang County. Although the wolf pack has not yet revealed his claws, with General Gao's emphasis on intelligence work, it is only a matter of time for him to grow stronger, and as the General Gao's strength is increasing step by step, and the wolves will become stronger and stronger. Think of the strength of Yan Lingwei, Hubaoqi, and Heibingtai! "Jiang Jiaquan said leisurely.

Listening to Jiang Jiaquan's words, Wu Kai's face became brighter, while Cao Tiancheng's face became paler and paler.

"Miss Lian'er is about to marry Sun Xiao. Who is Sun Xiao? He is General Gao's most trusted general. He has always controlled the central army of the Eastern Expedition Army. In the military restructuring that General Gao and I agreed on, Sun Xiao’s name is also ranked first. Mr. Cao, did you hear what I said clearly?”

Cao Tiancheng clenched his fist hard and made a rattling sound, "So what, Sun Xiao and I have never had a life-long friendship with the general. The general is a God-given savior. God-given may not listen to me, but he treats the general I won’t disobey anything you say.”

"This is the truth, but who can explain clearly the things in this world? Mr. Cao, I am not doubting you, I am just taking precautions before they happen. Think about Ye Xiang and the King of Yan, when they were exiled in the Yan Kingdom , isn’t it a life-long friendship?” Jiang Jiaquan said calmly.

Cao Tiancheng stood up suddenly, his face flushed, "Jiang Jiaquan, what do you mean?"

Wu Kai on the side looked at the blue veins on Cao Tiancheng's hands. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, huffing and puffing. He was afraid that Cao Tiancheng would get angry, so he punched him desperately. After all, Cao Tiancheng was leaving the army. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he still has strength. Jiang Jiaquan, a thin and frail old scholar, is going to be broken with one punch, so nothing will turn into trouble.

"Old Cao, calm down!" He stood up and hugged Cao Tiancheng's arm. "Let's go talk to the general about this."

Jiang Jiaquan did not stand up, but looked at the two people and said calmly: "Master Cao, the general will not doubt you. In fact, I don't doubt you either, but what about others? What will others think of this matter? The general's territory is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people will join in. Magistrate Wu, you are also a person who has read history books thoroughly. I think you should understand the harmfulness of such a thing! Sometimes, things do not follow our will. Transferred.”

Wu Kai took a deep breath and his face turned a little dark.

"Master Cao, you followed General Gao in the first place because they could find you food, pay you full wages, and allow you to live a good life. It was in this process that you established You are loyal to the general, but can you guarantee that when someone gives you better treatment in the future, you will not be moved? Even if you are not moved, with the current power of the Cao family, I can say that there will be more and more people in the future. People are attached to you, but are they tempted?"

"You fart!" Cao Tiancheng was furious.

"Sun Xiao has military power in his hands, Tianci controls the intelligence agency, and you have the logistics of the entire Eastern March Army. If one day, your Cao family wants to replace General Gao, then I really don't know who can. Stop you." Jiang Jiaquan remained unmoved and continued.

Cao Tiancheng finally couldn't bear it any longer. He moved his arm to give the hateful old man in front of him a hard slap, but Wu Kai fell on top of him. After all, he was not a serious military commander, and It was impossible to be rough with Wu Kai, and he couldn't get rid of Wu Kai, so he could only look at Jiang Jiaquan with a pair of bull's eyes. If looks could kill, Jiang Jiaquan would have been cut to pieces by him now.

"Master Cao, don't stare at me like that. You are the old man in front of the general and have a close relationship with him. And I have had a pleasant cooperation with you in the past two years. I also regard you as a friend, so I am with you. As you say this, the situation of the Cao family may not be obvious now, but as the general becomes stronger and stronger, this hidden danger will become more obvious. In the future, no matter how loyal you are, you can stand it Is there someone plotting against you? Can you withstand open and hidden swords? How did you handle yourself at that time, and how did the general handle himself? "

"We, the Cao family, would rather die than do anything detrimental to the general." Cao Tiancheng gritted his teeth.

Jiang Jiaquan shook his head slightly, "That would put the general in an unjust position. This is the case with the current King of Yan. Ye Tiannan's suicide in front of the palace is the most obvious example."

"Then what do you want?" Cao Tiancheng roared.

Jiang Jiaquan sighed: "Master Cao, brother Tiancheng, sit down and I will slowly tell you. Listen, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. As a counselor, I always have to prepare for the worst. Now General The career of the general has just started, and everyone can unite as one, work hard, and think in the same direction. But in the future, when the general's strength reaches a certain stage, it may not be like this. Everyone's thoughts It's different. Power is a kind of poison. Once people taste its delicious taste, they will be obsessed with it, they will be reluctant to let it go, and they will try their best to seize more power. Have you ever thought about the composition of our Eastern Army? You Fufeng people are one group, people like Meng Chong and Xu Yuan are another group, and the generals from the Ye family are now beginning to rise to prominence, plus the Hun generals headed by He Lanxiong, the factions of the Eastern Expedition Army are unknowingly Time has been formed. Mr. Wu, Tiancheng, we can’t see the harm now, but what about in the future? The power of the Cao family is too great. Your family almost controls the lifeblood of the Eastern Conquest Army. Tiancheng, this is not something that can be changed by your loyalty to the general. Yes. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Kai had already let go of Cao Tiancheng's arm and was thoughtful. Cao Tiancheng's face turned from red to pale, "After talking for a long time, Jiang Changshi, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Tiancheng, leave Zhengdong Mansion and hand over your current position!" Jiang Jiaquan said. "For the Cao family, God's gift is enough."

"Where will I go if you ask me to leave Zhengdong Mansion?" Cao Tiancheng sighed, "Zhengdong Army is my home."

"Sihai Trading!" Seeing Cao Tiancheng's attitude relax, Jiang Jiaquan's face showed joy, "Quit Zhengdong Mansion, you go take care of Sihai Trading. You are familiar with him, and with you, Sihai Trading will be stronger. "

Cao Tiancheng was silent for a while, "I understand, I will go to the general to resign." Standing up lonely, Cao Tiancheng staggered towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Chief Jiang Shi, you just said that people have a fascination with power. I don’t deny this, because I do taste the taste of power, but for General Gao, I am willing to give it up. I just want to ask you, what about you? How do you prove that you are right? General’s loyalty?”

Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "Brother Tiancheng, I am a lonely old man with no children and no worries. My only ideal is to prove that my senior brother is wrong. He created a Qin State. I want to create a capable To defeat Qin's power, the general is my ideal choice, so the general's success is my success, and he is already over sixty years old."
