However, Zhang Ren killed Yang Ren and took his head, but he suffered two injuries and had to withdraw his troops from Nanjiang City and lead his soldiers back to Yizhou.

Liu Zhang was furious when he heard that Zhang Ren had lost his troops but failed to capture Nanjiang City. Zhang Ren hurriedly offered Yang Ren's head, and he was relieved of punishment only after he had given up his merits and demerits.

Liu Zhang knew that Cao Ang was not moving now, so he had no choice but to let Yan Yan stick to it and not be careless.

However, Zhang Lu heard that Yang Ren was dead, and Zhang Wei defeated the enemy from Yizhou. He was very happy and hurriedly did not increase his troops, so he ordered him to defend the city well.

In front of Cao Pi's mansion.

Lu Yu looked from afar, and he knew that if he replied within seven days of receiving the letter, the joint operation of the aristocratic family would definitely be excluded. Those who have not joined will not enjoy the glory and fruits of victory.

However, there were too few people in the Lu family, and Lu Yu had to think carefully and carefully before he could make up his mind.

The ban on Cao Pi's order to study had long been revoked. However, if it were not necessary, Cao Pi would never leave the mansion for a second step, but some books were sent to the mansion from time to time.

Lu Yu felt that he had observed enough, and it was time to meet Cao Pi and see if Cao Pi was the one who was worth betting.

Lu Yu tidied up his clothes and walked to Cao Pi's mansion, "Lu Yu, Zhuo County, please see the second prince."

Seeing that Lu Yu was extraordinary, the disciple hurriedly bowed and asked Lu Yu to wait for a while, and hurriedly went inside to report to Cao Pi.

However, since Cao Pi said that since that day, Cao Pi has become more calm, but Sima Yi has always shown an irritable mood.

Cao Pi often used Yu Guang to watch it, and chuckled in his heart: This is the way to control people.

On this day, Cao Pi was still studying. Sima Yi was accompanying him, and only after reading only one volume, Sima Yi immediately stood up to move his body. Sima Yi also glanced at Cao Pi. Seeing Cao Pi shaking his head and immersed in the book, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

You said that if you don’t go to Mr. Wei to show your filial piety and please me, what’s the point of studying at home?

Sima Yi was about to speak, but suddenly the servant came to report that there was a person outside the door who claimed to be Lu Yu, Zhuo County, and asked to see the master.

Sima Yi was shocked: "Lu Yu? Lu Yu, Zhuo County?"

The servant replied, "Menzi said it is this name."

Sima Yi was overjoyed: "Young master, it's Lu Yu, Lu Yu!"

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Why did Zhongda do this? Who is Lu Yu?"

Sima Yi hurriedly said, "Lu Yu is the youngest son of the great scholar Lu Zhi!"

"Son of Lu Zhi?" Cao Pi was shocked. Lu Zhi was a great scholar. Before the Yellow Turbans started, the Confucian scholar did not think that Lu Zhi's disciples were proud of being taught by Lu Zhi? That Confucian scholar was not proud of being taught by Lu Zhi?

Cao Pi didn't care about pretending to be reserved anymore, "Zhongda, please come and ask him quickly. I will enter the back hall to cheer up my clothes!"

Cao Pi hurriedly moved into the back hall to sort out his clothes and Sima Yi came out to greet him.

"The later students came to Sima Yi and met Master Lu!" Sima Yi hurriedly bowed his hand and said.

Lu Yu hurriedly helped Sima Yi up, "How to do this, how to do this."

Sima Yi bowed to praise Lu Zhi and praised Lu Yu's family's origins. His sincere expression really convinced people a lot.

Lu Yu was also a mortal. After hearing the compliments, he felt relieved and followed Sima Yi into Cao Pi's mansion.

Before he arrived at the central hall, Cao Pi hurriedly came out to greet him. Lu Yu was even more happy. Cao Pi treated Lu Yu very politely and personally led Lu Yu to sit down and called someone to tea at the same time.

Seeing Cao Pi like this, Lu Yu's evaluation of Cao Pi was naturally a little higher. He was respectful to the wise and the wise, not to mention not using the scholars, his superficial skills are much stronger than Yuan Shao and others.

The three of them said something first, but soon after, the servants came with tea.

Lu Yu took a sip and praised the good tea. Cao Pi couldn't help but be overjoyed. The more he looked at Lu Yu, the more he liked it. If he had such a demeanor and such knowledge, if he could use it for me.

Lu Yu put down the cup and looked at Cao Pi with a steady attitude, "Does the young master want to be the prince?"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were both shocked, and Cao Pi said tremblingly: "President Lu teaches me!"

Cui Yan made ten portions of powder that could splash sparks after the incense burned out. After stirring it evenly, he took a little bit from it and tried it. However, the smaller the portion, the smaller the range of sparks splashing. Cui Yan was still very satisfied with this. This is a treasure!

Unfortunately, it cannot be used frequently. Cui Yan sighed. If he used it for the second time, Cao Ang discovered that he would not have to be in trouble again and would not ask about the world.

Cui Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly. If you can use this treasure once, it is God's blessing. Isn't it too greedy for such a luxury?

Cui Yan summoned representatives from various schools to discuss matters.

It was still the secret room, and it was still the three families of Chen, Zheng and Cui. They sat in three directions and hung curtains in front of them.

Cui Yan waved his hand, Cui Lin held an incense burner to the center, and inserted a burning incense at the same time.

Zheng Mao frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Before he finished speaking, sparks suddenly burst out from the incense burner, almost burning to the curtain covering their faces.

Chen, Zheng was shocked, Cui Yan smiled and said, "I wonder what this accident is?"

Zheng Mao was very focused and thought about it for a moment and knew how to do it. He was very happy and made a series of conjunctions.

The Chen family did not speak out. A few days ago, he looked down on Zheng Mao and rebuked him. Although Cui Lin also rebuked him, this place was Cui, so it was a bit embarrassing to be the only one.

Cui Yan chuckled, "How about Chen's actions?"

The man Chen nodded immediately, "Good."

All the families have already made efforts and are already on the same boat. Now it seems that this "accident" can be said to be foolproof. Just be careful. When the fire breaks out, it will burn completely. This is just a trivial matter.

However, Lu Zhi's words broke the achievements of Cao Pi's self-cultivation over the past few days. Cao Pi hurriedly asked Lu to go to the study to discuss secretly, but Sima Yi was unable to enter, and only led his personal guards to guard the gate in Cao Pi's earnest gaze.

Cao Pi looked at Lu Yu with a eager look on his face, "Why should you teach me?"

Lu Yu pondered and said, "Do you know Cao Ang's inferiority?"

Cao Pi was happy. Could it be that the heroes saw the same thing? He lied that he didn't know and asked Lu Yu what he understood.

Lu Yu pondered: "Do you know the aristocratic family?"

Cao Pi said: "I know that the Yuan family's four generations and three dukes were previously called the first family in the world, and the Xiahou family, which has close ties with the Cao family."

Lu Yu nodded and shook his head again.

"The Yuan family has been destroyed, and the Xiahou family is a typical representative of the future of martial arts among the aristocratic families. The prince cannot say enough."

"Dare to ask for a public servant!"

Lu Yu then said: "Cao Ang's inferiority is because his martial arts are too heavy and he will not conquer the aristocratic family."

"Young Master, just imagine that the world is in chaos and one out of ten people can survive in the world. How many families can be born in the world and have talent?"

Cao Pi thought about it carefully and found that almost all the talented people around him were aristocratic families!

"80%?" Cao Pi asked tentatively.

"It's about 80% to 90%, which is still the result of more than 20 years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in chaos, the world was used by the princes, and more than 90% of it!"

Cao Pi gasped for air conditioning, more than 90%?

"When the Han Dynasty was still alive, when Emperor Ling was in the reign of Emperor Ling, all the court had aristocratic families, and non-arrogate children would also have to rely on the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign!"

"Cao Ang has many talented people and is also highly valued. How can Duke Lu say that he will not win over the aristocratic families?"

Lu Yu sneered, "When did Cao Ang win over the aristocratic family? One after another, they all want to centralize power and take others for themselves. How could they benefit from the aristocratic family?"

Cao Pi thought about it carefully. Not to mention that those who follow Cao Ang are a little domineering, even if they are brothers, they need to be talented, so Cao Ang will use it.

Cao Pi said softly: "Be really strict!"

Lu Yu nodded with relief. What he wanted was Cao Pi's attitude. What the aristocratic families should do now is to find a good way out for the major aristocratic families in the Central Plains!

"What the young master said is not bad. Cao Ang was too harsh and too selfish, so he was not favored by the aristocratic families."

Cao Pi was secretly happy. After Lu Yu said this, he completely understood the power of the aristocratic family. As long as he united the aristocratic family, the position of the prince would be my in the future! It would be impossible to sit in that position later!

Lu Yu chuckled and said, "Since the young master knows that Cao Ang is inferior, he can make him the good deeds of the young master, and connect him to fight against Cao Ang!"

Cao Pi was overjoyed, "Sir, great talent, I will recommend a good position in front of my father in the future, so that I can fully demonstrate my talent and knowledge!"

Lu Yu thanked Cao Pi, who sent Sima Yibu to the banquet, and then invited Lu Yu to the banquet, drank and ate meat.

But Pang Tong resigned Pang Degong to worship Cao Ang. When Cao Ang heard Pang Tong arrived, he sent someone to invite him to enter. He put a few cases at the front of the main hall, prepared the pen and ink, and asked Pang De to sit here.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Shi Yuan can read some political affairs in Jingzhou and make some comments on paper."

Pang Tong knew that Cao Ang was testing him, so he hurriedly responded to this matter. Then he handed over the political documents to Pang Tong first. Pang Tong made some notes, and then put them in the documents and then looked at them with Cao Ang.

In this way, Cao Ang not only saves trouble, but also looks at Pang Tong's level and is very satisfied.

When the news came back to Chen, Chen Qun's heart was still a little heavy.

Doing and thinking are two completely different things, but since Chen has boarded the ship, it is inevitable to bear these things.

Chen Qun closed his eyes and frowned secretly, knocking on the small door of the secret room. Soon, someone immediately entered.

Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "Go and find out the Hexiang used in Cao Zhi's mansion, where can I buy it?"

"promise!"

Because it takes a secret to act, it took several days to find out.

Chen Qun looked at the procurement time and location recorded on the paper and immediately had an idea.

The incense on Cao Zhi’s mansion can be divided into two types: one is used in the library, and the other is used everywhere else.

The ones used in the library were bought from an old store selling papers. The ancient pottery stove, a thick layer of fragrant wood ash inside, and a few deworming and pleasant incense made it the signature of "Daobi Pavilion".

Especially the incense wood ash in the pottery stove, I heard that this is collected after the good wood is burned. Not only does it have a faint fragrance of plants and trees, but it also adds some other spices to it. When the online incense is burned, it can also calm the mind.
