Great Wei Nengchen

Moreover, before Cao was implanted in the camp, he had discussed with a "confidant counselor", knowing that Xiao Yi would be domineering, and he might not let go easily, so he prepared a few sets of plans, so that he could adapt to the situation:

Cao Cao is old and frail, and it is imperative to establish a reserve. If Cao Zhi can facilitate this and quell the civil uprisings in various parts of the Central Plains, his prestige will increase greatly, and the hope of winning the reserve will be even greater!

More importantly, Cao Zhi wanted to take this opportunity to show off his talents, and then get Xiao Yi's approval, and then support him to ascend to the throne and become the heir apparent of Duke Wei!

Xiao Yi has a high position and a powerful army. As long as he is willing to give his full support, Cao Zhi will be able to win the battle of the brothers. However, his confidant counselor also said: Xiao Yi is independent and treats the Cao brothers equally. I am afraid it will not be easy for him!

It doesn't matter, as long as Cao Zhi enters the barracks, stays there for a few days, and "communicates" with Xiao Yi in private a few times, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, as long as the matter is publicized, it will be fine to create the illusion that the two are close...

Not only is Xiao Yi high and powerful, but he is also a weather vane for the imperial court. Knowing that he is 'close' to Cao Zhi, those vacillating important officials will support Cao Zhi one after another, thus forming a huge strength.

At that time, no matter Xiao Yi was willing or not, he was dragged aboard by Cao Zhi, and regardless of Cao Cao's original intentions, for the sake of the overall stability of the country, he could only pass the throne to Cao Zhi.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi braced himself up, and only waited for Xiao Yi to refute, then he had a eloquent debate to show off his talents. If he was lucky, he would not only get Xiao Yi's support, but also convince the rest of the generals!

"Haha--Prime Minister He Lao is worried about some small matters of money. The mine is originally owned by the state, and it is a matter of course to turn it over to the state treasury!

Zijian returns to Xuchang quickly. Please rest assured, the Prime Minister. The first income from the mine will be used to help the people. After that, half of the monthly income will be turned over to the national treasury, and the rest will make up for the shortage of the army! "

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yi didn't bargain at all, and directly handed over half of the mine's profits, and asked Shi Tao to check the accounts on the spot, and sent the recently obtained money to Xuchang as soon as possible!

The profits from the mine are huge, everyone is jealous when they see it, but Xiao Yi is more aware that money and property can be obtained in a proper way and used in a proper way. Now that there are frequent civil upheavals in various places, it is the time when money and food are urgently needed, how can he be stingy? Ke Kuang Tianxia belongs to the Han family, the Cao family, and the Xiao family!

Moreover, after the two-year war, the imperial treasury was indeed empty. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's grandeur, he wouldn't just send some pigs, sheep, and fine wine to the army.

More importantly, Xiao Yi saw that Cao Zhi's "comer was not kind", so he agreed to the request without saying anything, and asked him to report back to the prime minister immediately, which was tantamount to dismissing people in disguise!

Xiao Yi's attitude towards the Cao brothers' struggle is very clear: no support, no objection, no participation, no interrogation, no icing on the cake, and no trouble, as long as they don't fight each other, he will happily stand by and watch!

"Da Sima understands righteousness deeply, which is admirable. Well... I came here after a long journey, and I am very hungry. Can I reward you with some wine and meat?"

Cao Zhi suffocated all his strength, and wanted to have a good argument, but he agreed, all the prepared lines were useless, like a punch in the empty space, let alone the discomfort!

But turning around and leaving like this, I was really not reconciled, so I blushed for a long time, and brazenly begged for a meal of wine and meat, hoping to find a suitable opportunity between banquets to realize my purpose of this trip!

"Haha-I heard that Zijian often gathers with scholars and drinks all night long. I think he has practiced his drinking capacity well. Today is just a good time to experience a lesson. Serve good wine and take a big bowl!"

"promise!"

As Xiao Yi waved his hands, the soldiers sent the best wine, which was full of fragrance and refreshing, but the best wine was also often the strongest wine!

The wine bowl is surprisingly larger, with a white mouth and a black bottom, deep and thick, filled with at least a catty of wine, and paired with golden-yellow barbecue, it shows the rough spirit of the army!

"The army returned triumphantly, and was reunited with the family immediately - let's have a bowl first!"

"Done!"

"Soldiers who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds will be rewarded by the court--do another bowl!"

"Done!"

"The income from the mine is huge, and [-]% supplements the needs of the army. The soldiers have no worries about food and clothing, and they can cook two bowls in a row!"

"Done—done!"

After the banquet started, Xiao Yi kept toasting and saying goodbyes, and he drank bowls of strong wine, without even taking a bite of food in the middle, and the civil and military personnel in the tent drank along with them. In the army, wine was often placed to celebrate achievements, and everyone's alcohol capacity was fully exercised !

In this atmosphere, Cao Zhi could only drink strong wine together, for fear of being underestimated by the soldiers, he drank very fast and cleanly, and the bottom of the bowl was bright when he drank it all!

It is true that Cao Zhi often attends banquets, but when gathering with scholars, they are all golden cups of sweet wine, reciting poems against each other, plus beauties singing and dancing to add to the fun. When have you ever seen such a boozy drink? Dizzy and dizzy!

"Fourth Young Master came from a long way, I'll clean up the dust for him, and drink another bowl!"

"The fourth son rewarded the soldiers, brothers are very grateful, please drink another bowl!"

………………

Xiao Yi winked, and his subordinates and generals rushed forward, scrambling to toast, after several bowls of strong wine, Cao Zhi was limp and fell headfirst on the couch. As for the prepared speech, I can only chat with Duke Zhou !

Seeing that Cao Zhi was too drunk to wake up, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh, took out a volume of "Zuo Zhuan-Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" from under the Shuai case, stuffed it into Cao Zhi's arms, and then asked someone to send him out of the camp and handed it to his followers Placement went...

According to Zuo Zhuan: "Duke Wu of Zheng married Mrs. Jiang and gave birth to the eldest son, Wusheng, and the second son, Gongshuduan. Because the eldest son was a dystocia (the feet came out first, so he was named Wusheng), he was not loved by Mrs. Jiang. Always favor the younger son!

Gong Shu Duan is smart, civil and military, and is deeply loved by his mother, so many people think that he will inherit the throne, and they come to flatter him one after another. As a result, before Zheng Wugong died, he passed the throne to his eldest son Wusheng , that is, Zheng Zhuanggong!

Many people know about the later events. Zheng Zhuanggong used the method of playing hard to get, little by little to cultivate his younger brother's ambition, and let him embark on the road of rebellion. Finally, he sent troops to crusade against him and forced his uncle Duan to commit suicide. However, Zheng Zhuanggong worked hard and became the Spring and Autumn Little Overlord! '

Cao Zhi's current situation is quite similar to that of Gong Shuduan, but it is just a bait thrown by a traitor. He wants to test the reaction of the officials, and then clear the obstacles and pave the way for the real heir!

Poor Cao Zhi has a brilliant literary talent, but he doesn't understand the insidiousness of politics. The more prosperous he is now, the more miserable he will be in the future, just like in the original history, he died young at the age of 40.

Anyway, he is my brother-in-law after all, and for his wife Cao Jie's face, Xiao Yi didn't help, and he couldn't do nothing, so he sent a volume of "Zuo Zhuan-Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan". As for how much Cao Zhi could comprehend It depends on the size of his fortune!

After the benefits of the mine are distributed, the matter will come to an end. Xiao Yi sent orders to all the ministries to set up camp tomorrow and go back to Xuchang to reunite with relatives...

As for the matter of Pingdingshan, Shi Tao was responsible for everything, and [-] veterans and wounded soldiers were transferred to protect the mine. These people have various disabilities. If they return to their hometown, they may not be able to make a living by farming. , Either starve to death, or become a thief!

Although he can no longer fight on the battlefield, there is no problem in guarding the mine, and he can also receive a lot of money and food, so that he can spend the rest of his life in peace, which is the best of both worlds!

Chapter 1363 One ebbs and the other grows, the rise of the Xiao family ([-])

The whip beat the golden pedal, and the people sang triumphant songs to return. After dealing with the mine affairs, Xiao Yi led the army all the way to the north, leaving Yuzhou-Runan County, entering Yanzhou-Yingchuan County, and traveled for another four days, and arrived at Xuchang City Suburbs!

Knowing that the army had returned triumphantly, Xuchang City immediately became a sensation. The common people supported the old and the young, and ate pots of pulp, and went out of the city to welcome the warriors. Banquet... to celebrate Da Sima's triumphant return!

Facing the warm welcome scene, Xiao Yi smiled lightly, let Gao Shun and Yu Jin lead the troops into the city through the south gate, and enjoy the glory they deserved. He brought the little queen, Sun Shangxiang, Guo Yi, Deng Ai, Hao Zhao... dozens of People, take a detour and enter the city from the west gate.

It has been nearly two years since the army set out for battle. Xiao Yi was already physically and mentally exhausted after the dark swords and swords and bloody battles. He just wanted to go home early, reunite with his wife and children, and enjoy family happiness... He Jiayan?

"The Great Sima has returned to the mansion——The Great Sima has returned to the mansion!"

"I wish my lord father a triumphant return, and the children pay tribute to my lord father!"

………………

When the group returned to Wushouhou's Mansion, there was a commotion in the Hou's Mansion, shouts were everywhere, and the first to rush out to greet them were the children in the Hou's Mansion...

The eldest son, Xiao Xuan, was a head taller, and his petite appearance was even more handsome. He knelt in front of the house to say hello, his left hand led his younger brother Xiao Huang, and his right hand was the younger Xiao Feng. The two little guys were just able to walk, and they were both wearing crotch pants!

When Xiao Yi went out to fight, one of them was a baby, the other was still in his mother's womb, and they didn't know their father at all. Now when they suddenly saw a stranger, they were so frightened that they hid behind their brother's back, and poked out half of their small faces to check ...

Xiao Yao, Xiao Yi, Guo Jing, and Xiao Qi lined up behind them, kneeling and saluting in the same way. They all grew taller and smarter, but it could be seen that the children of Wuchou Hou Mansion were all named after Xiao Xuan. Follow the lead!

"Hustle and panic, how decent is it, Xiao Xuan, as an elder brother, you must discipline your younger brothers and sisters well, otherwise you will be questioned by your father?"

"No -- respect father's teaching!"

"Our Yi'er is the most obedient, and she is getting more and more beautiful. Do you miss your father?"
