Chapter 1100: Zhang Miao thinks to become a player
Zhang Miao is not a fool, he knows that he might have finished playing, which is related to his foothold in Dingtao. The biggest capital for Zhang Miao to gain a foothold in Dingtao is the trust of the emperor and the empress dowager. Now Zhang Chao’s approach is to mock the most powerful mocking of this trust. The power of this mocking is enough to blow away all the halos on Zhang Miao.
After losing trust, what else does Zhang Miao have in Dingtao? The connections of the defense military system? That thing is really unreliable. Moreover, Zhang Miao had a short time to run this system, and the defense military did not have it in Dingtao. Dingtao's military power is in the hands of Tao Qian and Cao Xing.
If Zhang Miao left Dingtao and learned Zhang Chao's path, Zhang Miao would not have this opportunity. Due to Zhang Chao's turnaround, Pang Yuan and Lu Bu had obtained the emperor's emergency authorization to directly manage and rectify the defense system in various places. In other words, Zhang Miao has now been put on hold in disguise.
The emperor also looked at Zhang Miao's experience of sharing hardships and hardships, and seemed to not want to be too heartless to Zhang Miao. If Zhang Miao had no desires, it might not be a problem to be a rich and idle person from now on. But if Zhang Chao did something that would make the emperor angry in the future, Zhang Miao might be pulled to sacrifice the flag, and Zhang Miao didn't want this ending.
Of course, Zhang Miao had another choice, that is, to escape alone, but where to escape? Where to go to Cao Cao, it would be like to be a rich and idle person. Maybe Cao Cao could still remember his friendship when he was young and occasionally enjoy a drink, but such a life was not what Zhang Miao wanted.
However, if you want to get better treatment, you must have corresponding value, just like Zhang Chao gave Cao Cao half of Shanyang County and then exchanged the title of a village marquis. If Zhang Miao wanted to exchange status from Cao Cao, then he also needed to make corresponding contributions. So, what could Zhang Miao contribute to Cao Cao?
In fact, Cao Cao was also thinking about this question. Zhang Chao's turnaround gave Cao Cao a taste of the sweetness. Zhang Miao, who was a compatriot with Zhang Chao, seemed to have room to fight for. However, Zhang Miao himself had no value. Cao Cao dared not believe in these drinking friends from the past. Could it be to get them back as an idle person to show his tolerance and magnanimity, or to prove that he has more elegance and ability to use people than the little emperor?
This was obviously not what Cao Cao wanted. Cao Cao hoped to maximize Zhang Miao's value. So he summoned Cheng Yu, and the two of them discussed it in the middle of the night, and then Cheng Yu went back excitedly to prepare.
The next day, Zheng Wei, who had not appeared for a long time, made a debut again. Cheng Yu's call. Zheng Wei immediately came to report happily, and there were naturally a few old men behind his butt.
After some secret talks, Zheng Wei went out in a low-key manner, then met several old men, quietly went to the inn, and boarded the inn to Dingtao.
Zhang Miao has not been running around these days. Now Zhang Miao is just a rotten egg and no one likes it. He is afraid of being covered with a odor, but there are many people who take the blame. Every day, someone can impeach Zhang Miao in the court, but the emperor just routinely accepts the following statement. Wang Yun also tacitly did not mention this matter, but his eyes were very kind to those who attacked Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao felt a little surprised when he heard someone coming to deliver the letter, and the person who delivered the letter was Yi Ren, but he still brought it to the reception room in the future.
“This guest is”
"I'm called Zheng Zhu, the head of the Hong County, Qiao County, here is to send a letter to the adults."
"Letters from home?"
“That’s right.”
Zheng Zhu smiled and handed over a letter. Looking at the handwriting, it was indeed only Zhang Chao's handwriting, but this person's identity was very strange! As the county magistrate under Cao Cao, he was also an alien, so his purpose here was not simple.
Zhang Miao took the letter in confusion and looked at it. Zhang Chao's letter was nothing more than singing praises to Cao Cao, hoping that his brother would forgive his helpless actions and invited his brother to go south to Qiao County as soon as possible to share wealth.
Zhang Miao gritted his teeth when he saw it, but there was an outsider there, so Zhang Miao tried not to show it. However, the veins of his hand holding the letter were exposed, and the trembling was difficult to control, but it had already revealed his inner anger of renunciation.
"Hmph, is there anything else in County Magistrate Zheng?"
Seeing that Zheng Zhu had no intention of leaving, Zhang Miao asked with some fun.
"Haha, Lord Zhang sees that there are indeed some other things. Mr. Zhang, what do you think about Ling's suggestion? Do you intend to go south to follow Cao Gong?"
"I believe Cao Gong also knows that he has an old age with Cao Gong, but he has no meaning to meet his old friends, but he has no face to meet his old friends!"
Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment, and half true and half falsely shirked away. After saying that, Zhang Miao looked at Zheng Zhu, waiting for Zheng Zhu's reaction.
"Haha, what Zhang said is very good. To put it bluntly, those who are superior need to be rewarded and punished clearly. On the other hand, the people below need to be ranked according to their merits. If there is no decent merit, Lord Zhang will just be just an idle person. Lord Zhang must have this concern, right?"
"Hehe" Zhang Miao smiled but said nothing. Zheng Zhu's words had already revealed the fox's tail. This was Cao Cao's request, but he just didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do himself?
Seeing that Zhang Miao refused to respond, Zheng Zhu turned his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhang is a smart person. He should know what he means. There is a great achievement in front of him. Lord. Zhang is within his control. I wonder if Lord. Zhang is interested?"
"Oh? There is such a good thing, so County Magistrate Zheng might as well tell me."
Zheng Zhu frowned and cursed Zhang Miao in secret. He said this, but he was still holding his figure. It was really disgusting. What is your Zhang Miao? You are just a chess piece in Cao Cao's hand. It seems useful if you use it. It's fine if you can't. Who is patient with your life and death! You are even more cute, and you really think that you are a green onion!
It was just that Zheng Zhu had forgotten that he could not even compare with Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao was barely a chess piece. No matter how good Zheng Zhu said, he was just a dog. When it comes to shamelessness, the difference between the two seemed to be.
"Haha, since you are interested, let's talk about it."
"Please say it!"
"Mr. Zhang is now a lonely man in Dingtao, without power and power. It is difficult to do something. It seems unrealistic to ask scholars to help me get some territory and army to surrender."
Zhang Miao's face was dark, but this was the fact. Zheng Zhu's words were already very polite. Zheng Zhu glanced at Zhang Miao proudly, satisfied his dark heart, smiled and continued:
"But Lord Zhang doesn't have anything to do. In Dingtao City, there is another big thing that Lord Zhang can do, and only Lord Zhang can do it!"
Zhang Miao's eyes shrank, and he looked at Zheng Zhu and said, "What the magistrate of Zheng County is"
"Son of the Lord!"
"Son of Heaven?"
"Yes, what about sending the emperor to Cao Gong? This is a great achievement to splash the sky, haha."
Zhang Miao took a breath. Cao Cao's heart was too big. He could think of such things. Zhang Miao subconsciously wanted to refute, but he held it back.
In fact, it is not the first time I have done such a thing. Taking the emperor to Jixian was actually a disguised kidnapping. This time it was a blatant kidnapping. If I were to take advantage of the fire last time, I could only take the jackpot from the fire this time, and the difficulty was incomparable.
Zheng Zhu looked at Zhang Miao with a change in expression and said with a chuckling, "As the saying goes, 'Wealth and honor are sought in danger'! Lord Zhang, there is never a free lunch in this world, and you have to pay something if you want to get it."
Zheng Zhu said this deeply. He paid a lot. He had already paid everything except money.
"Yes, but this is simply a traitor, a strange thing that has never happened in ancient times, I."
"Haha, sir, is this a traitor? This is to save the emperor from the evil surrounding him. sir, a hero, but if this matter can be accomplished, sir, has indeed accomplished an unprecedented great cause! He will definitely leave his name in history."
Zhang Miao smiled bitterly. It's good to leave a name in history. It's true that he will leave a name, but it's probably a terrible reputation, right? But it's hard to guarantee that if Cao Gong finally gained power, this matter would inevitably be beautified. He might even become a lone hero.
Zhang Miao was fighting fiercely, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Zheng Zhu was also a little anxious. After this task was completed, he had another large amount of income! It was like being fooling people in business. Zheng Zhu was eager to make a decision for Zhang Miao now. Zhang Miao was now like a golden pig in the hideous eyes!
"This matter is too risky, so let's go"
"Sir, if you decide, then you are definitely not fighting alone. As long as you can invite the emperor out of the palace, the rest will be easy. I will release tasks in the city to create chaos. At the same time, we will protect and assist the adults. If you leave Dingtao City, even if the sea is vast, the army of Cao Gong can come to pick him up."
"this"
"So, this matter seems to be quite risky, but in fact the risk is not great. The biggest risk is whether the adults can control the emperor smoothly. As long as it is done, then the emperor is in hand, who dares to attack you? The so-called wielding the emperor to command the world, haha."
Zhang Miao was ridiculous, but Zheng Zhu's words were not unreasonable. The status of the emperor was very important, especially the status of this little emperor was even more important to the ministers in Dingtao and Lu Bu. It was not possible to compete with Chang'an by just a person. Therefore, as Zheng Zhu said, if the emperor was successfully controlled, things that seemed extremely risky would be really not so dangerous.
It may not be possible to use the emperor to command the world, but if you are afraid of being attacked, it may not be difficult for you to leave the palace and leave the city smoothly. The most difficult thing about this is whether Cao Cao's army can come to meet him smoothly. However, if the emperor is in hand, Zhang Miao can indeed forge an imperial edict to let Cao Cao go north to welcome the emperor.
This matter is extremely risky, but it also brings great benefits. It is indeed a great achievement, which is enough to allow Zhang Miao to take this contribution in Cao Cao's camp until he dies of old age.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao was really moved. Compared with the embarrassing situation he is now, perhaps the best way out is to take a risk, and wealth is in danger! (To be continued. Please read it by mobile phone users.)
