Great Wei Nengchen

The second is: the ten confidants have undergone strict training, and they are lurking beside Cao Zhang, and what they are best at is not protecting, but assassinating!

If Ma Chao understands the favor, agrees to the marriage of the two families, and wholeheartedly assists Cao Zhang to pacify the countries in the Western Regions, then hello, hello, hello everyone!

On the contrary, if Ma Chao is rebellious and does not agree to marry his younger sister, or supports his own self-respect and fights for control of the army, the ten dead soldiers should take action. Assassination, poisoning, cold arrows... Ma Mengqi's life will be taken , Clear all obstacles for his son!

This is the paternal love of a traitor, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes as cold as ice, how lucky to be his son, with a bright road ahead, but how unfortunate, living in the shadow of his father all his life!

"The battlefield is extremely dangerous, third brother must be more careful, Brother Yu will pray for you day and night!"

"Third brother, take care of your health. I hope the army will triumph as soon as possible, and let's have a good time together!"

"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother... You also have to take care of yourself, and show filial piety to my parents for me--woooo!"

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong also came to see them off, and they each prepared gifts, including horses, swords, and battle robes. The four brothers hugged each other and shed tears of farewell!

The four of them were originally siblings, and they had a very good relationship when they were young. We shared the benefits and shared the difficulties. Later, in order to compete for the reserve, rifts gradually appeared, almost to the point of life and death!

Now that Cao Zhang led the army to march westward, it was tantamount to launching a reserve competition, and the rift disappeared, and the family affection in the past surged up, so he cried very sincerely, and at the same time secretly prayed that Cao Zhang would never look back once he was gone!

"Little brother bid farewell to sister and brother-in-law. I have been cared for in the past, but I have nothing to repay. I can only kowtow in gratitude!"

"Ziwen doesn't need to be too polite. If you have any difficulties on the way to the west, you can send a letter back. My brother-in-law will definitely help me. The Xiqiang and Xiongnu have made a good greeting and will protect your rear wing. Take this thing with you. Useful at critical moments!"

When Cao Zhang came to Xiao Yi and his wife, he paid a big salute and began to pay homage. The battle to seize the crown was extremely dangerous. In the past, there were many open and dark arrows, which were all resolved by his brother-in-law secretly. He also helped him get the opportunity to go west. I am really grateful from the bottom of my heart. !

Supporting both hands, Xiao Yi took out a gift from his bosom. It was a map of South-Central Asia based on the memory of his previous life. The mountains, rivers, deserts, basins, plains... were all drawn clearly. At that time, the one hanging in Wanbao Building was much more detailed.

There are also text descriptions at the bottom, local specialties, customs, and subtropical marching and wars.

In addition, Cao Zhang is not the only one who has an adventurous spirit. Many students in Zhengming Academy also want to expand the territory for the country, experience the western world by the way, and spread Chinese civilization to the past!

This kind of thing should naturally be encouraged. After the selection, Xiao Yi selected five hundred students to march west with the army. Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Taoism... all had disciples to participate, and they brought a lot of books. There are Buddhists and no one accompanying them, they originally came from the west!

The army attacked the city, plundered land, killed people and set fire to destroy the original civilization system; hundreds of scholars followed closely, spreading the seeds of Chinese civilization. After so many decades, people in the Western Regions all speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and wear Han clothes... Bye The two emperors of Yan and Huang are the ancestors, so they naturally become part of China!

"Boom!—boom boom!"

After Yiyi bid farewell, it was time for the expedition. The army beat the cowhide war drums, which sounded like thunder from the nine heavens. Nine prisoners on death row were escorted up. The knife and ax hand held up the ghost head knife, preparing the banner of blood sacrifice, and bless the army to win the banner!

Xiao Yi looked left and right, but he didn't see a single figure, he couldn't help but sighed slightly in his heart, could it be that his efforts failed, he would rather be a loyal minister of the big-eared thief than serve the country?

Forget it, people have their own aspirations, and you can't force them. In fact, staying in Xuchang City and being a carefree rich man is not a bad thing!

The Western Expeditionary Army can't do without counselors, if it's not possible, we can only let Fengji go...

"Wait a while, I'll come - drive!"

"Quickly get out of the way, Mr. Yuanzhi is here, he finally figured it out--haha!"

…………

Just as he was sighing, a rider rushed into the school's military field and headed straight for Dianjiangtai. The soldiers along the way were about to stop him, but Xiao Yi waved his hand and repelled him!

It was Xu Shu who came. After several days of ideological struggle, he finally took a difficult step. He gave up small loyalty and small righteousness, and chose great loyalty and righteousness. The former is loyal to the individual, and the latter is loyal to the country!

"Mr. Yuan Zhi has come, the Western Expedition will definitely win, I am very grateful!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Yuan Zhi-abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the future is boundless!"

…………

Cao Cao, Xiao Yi led the civil and military officials, personally went down to the stage to welcome them, and there was a lot of laughter and cheers. Unexpectedly, the "stubborn stone" who couldn't be persuaded by many people really nodded this time!

Everyone admired Xiao Yi's ability even more. I don't know what method he used to make Xu Shu change his mind in just a few days. I heard that the two have become relatives. Could it be that they are really inseparable?

"Everyone's words are wrong. This is not clear, and that is not dark. There is nothing to congratulate. Xu Yuanzhi came here today, just to serve the world of Han and fulfill his duty as a courtier!"

Xu Shu's words were indifferent, and he still regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and refused to show his favor to everyone in Cao Ying, but he was willing to come and march west with the army, and that was enough!

"Soldiers, conquer the Western Regions, open up territories, kill all the aliens who resist, and take away all the women, treasures, and land you like-go to war!"

"Go to war—go to war!"

When the auspicious time came, Cao Zhang drew out his sword and gave the order to go out. The executioners raised their knives and cut off the heads of nine prisoners, and smeared the hot blood on the flags. On the way to the west... The dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow!

"One wave is flat, and another wave rises again. I am afraid that the real turbulent waves are coming. It is difficult for me to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai -- alas!"

Watching the army go away, a stone in Xiao Yi's heart fell to the ground, but the other jumped up. Looking at the brothers of the Cao family beside him, his brows were furrowed again!

Among the four sons of the Cao family, Cao Xiong has no power to compete for the reserve for the time being, and the other three compete with each other, but they also check each other, forming a tripartite force, and no one dares to act rashly!

Now that Cao Zhang is leading the army to march west, it means that he has withdrawn from this competition. The three-legged confrontation has become a two-tiger struggle. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are afraid to fight. situation!

As a bystander, what should I do? Should I continue to stay out of it, or take the initiative to participate in it? Two potential dragons are fighting to the death, and which side should I help?

Chapter 1415 The battle of the hidden dragon is extremely dangerous ([-])

In the 11th year of Jian'an, Xia-June [-]th, only three days after the army's westward expedition, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of the emperor: "Five sons-Cao Xiong are made the Marquis of Xiaohuai Township, and Qingzhou-Le'an County is the There are [-] households in the fiefdom, and if you go to the fiefdom every day, you are not allowed to stay in Xuchang! '

On June [-]th, the imperial edict was issued again: "General Cheqi - Cao Hong Zhonglie has a heart, loves his relatives and cares about the country, and has made great contributions to the country and society. He is specially appointed as a general of hussars, adding [-] households to the city!" '

On June [-]th, three edicts were issued: "Zhang Xiu, the general of the war - brave and staunch, with meritorious service in the battle, he was named a general of chariots and cavalry, and added [-] households in the city. His son Zhang Quanyinshou - General Huben Zhonglang, father and son Into the face of the holy! '

………………

Three edicts were issued in three consecutive days, like three huge stones thrown into the water, causing countless ripples. Everyone in the government and the public were amazed.

The treacherous hero is old and weak, and it is imperative to establish a heir. However, the four sons of the Cao family, Cao Zhang, who has just led the army to the west, have given up the opportunity to compete. Shiyi, who seemed to be favored, was actually kicked out.

The remaining two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, will inevitably have a higher position, and at this sensitive time, Cao Cao suddenly promoted the officials of Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu. Is this interesting?

The courtiers all know that Cao Hong and Cao Zhi have a very good personal relationship. The former has clearly expressed his support for the fourth son-in-law many times in public. Not to mention Zhang Xiu, who is Cao Zhi's father-in-law. Naturally, he fully supports his son-in-law. These two people are generals who hold military power!

Since ancient times, when emperors train their heirs, they will arrange several important ministers to assist them to ensure their stable reserves. Now that Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu's officials are promoted, and they are recruited back to the capital for reuse, could it be that Cao Zhi has full wings?

There was also news: Cao Zhi's confidants, Ding Yi and Ding Yu brothers, were appointed to the east and west of the Xiangfu. These two official positions are not high, but they are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials below [-] shi. It can be said that the official is small but powerful !

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao gave a new mansion to Cao Zhi and his wife to live in. There are five layers of large courtyards at the front and back, with more than 300 houses, nearly a thousand servants, maidservants, and personal soldiers. It can be described as extremely honorable.

"The fourth son is brilliant, and he is deeply favored by the Prime Minister. He will be very precious in the future!"

"The icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow. The fourth son is about to win. If I don't move now, when should I wait?"

…………

From the time when the brothers of the Cao family competed for the reserve, the ministers faced a problem of standing in line. If they stood right, they could become heroes of the dragon;

Before the four sons seized the heirloom, the situation was chaotic, the officials could only smile at everyone, and the son was not offended, and the son was not close, so he took a wait-and-see attitude!
