Great Wei Nengchen

Chapter 1572 The traitor's political arrangement!

"Huainan Urgent Report: Sun Quan commanded an army of [-] soldiers and infantry, and more than [-] warships headed north, connecting Keliyang, Fuling, Quanjiao and other places all the way.

General Zhang Liao did not stay in the isolated city, but led his 4 troops out of the city to fight. From the 15th year of Jian'an to the early morning of December 22, he met Jiangdong Army in Xiaoyaojin!

On the occasion of the decisive battle, our army lined up against the water to show that we have the determination to advance and never retreat. Under the cover of the morning fog, General Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry in person, and rushed straight to the center of the Jiangdong Army. , with several arrows in his body, still fighting to the death and not retreating, he cut off the flag of the Chinese army with a knife!

Soldiers, big and small, fought bravely, advancing and retreating, dying and not living. They fought fiercely from early morning to afternoon, and finally broke through the enemy's formation. The Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties and was completely defeated!

It was a battle, our army won a complete victory, beheaded [-] people, captured thousands of prisoners, seized countless weapons, horses, and flags, Bi Yaner was almost captured alive, and did not expect a young general - Lu Xun to lead the army to help him, so he escaped by luck. Lead the disabled soldiers back to Jiangdong, and all the cities in Jiangbei have been recovered by our army! "

The second memorial is the good news sent by Huainan. Zhang Liao defeated the 10 troops in Xiaoyaojin by defeating the [-] people in Jiangdong. carry on!

"Luring the enemy deep, attacking decisively with arrogance, defeating many with less, Zhang Wenyuan has both wisdom and courage. He is truly a great general, but...it's a pity!

The imperial decree: Zhang Liao was granted the title of General Zhendong, the prefect of Jiujiang, Jinyang Tinghou, [-] households in Shiyi, and ten famous horses, ten singers, and one hundred servants, as a token of appreciation!

From the treasury, 5 taels of gold, 10 taels of silver, and [-] pieces of high-quality silk were allocated to reward all the meritorious soldiers! "

Although Cao Cao was seriously ill, he has been paying attention to the battle situation in various places. When he learned that Huainan had won a great victory and defeated Jiangdong's troops, he couldn't help applauding happily, and rewarded Zhang Liao generously, calling him a great general!

However, besides the praise, he spit out the words "what a pity" lightly, because Zhang Liao, a general, is Xiao Yi's confidant!

Cao Cao has always been known for "knowing people and daring to employ them". Over the years, he has recruited a lot of talents, many of whom have been demoted and demoted. Yi's ability in this area is even better than his own!

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Feng Ji, Jia Xu, Jiang Qi, Zhang Yan, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Wen Pin, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun...there are too many to count. There are generals who are good at fighting and resourceful. , and people with unique skills, they are all recruited by Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi seems to have a kind of super power, as soon as he sees a person, he can tell whether the other person has talent, and how to use it to the fullest if he has that talent. Xiao Yi is even more loyal!

Not only employing people, but Xiao Yi has the ability to predict many things. Undecided - the success or failure is known, and the event has not happened - the whole story is known. It is really a terrifying ability!

"Yuzhou Mu-Mao Jie is seriously ill. He has asked to resign and return to his care. Three memorials have been submitted this month. Will the father agree?"

"Yes, Mao Jie was a clean and honest official, and he made a lot of contributions. He was specially awarded the title of Guang Lu Xun, with a reward of one thousand taels, five chariots and horses, and 20 servants. He was allowed to return to his hometown to cultivate, and his son was allowed to enter an official position. !"

"The candidate for the New Yuzhou Shepherd, I think I can be sent..."

"Yuzhou is close to the imperial capital, and must be guarded by confidantes. The captain of the cavalry, Lu Qian, will be promoted to the post of Yuzhou Shepherd, and he will take office immediately!"

"promise!"

…………

"Liangzhou Mu-Zhong Yao requested that the formation of the Southwest Protectorate has been completed. Please ask the imperial court to allocate 2 horses, 20 hu grains, and 400 million yuan for expenditure. Now the imperial court is using troops, and the material consumption is huge, and the planting is necessary. Too much, do you want to cut some as appropriate?"

"Sure, allotted to the past. The Southwest Protectorate's Mansion is of great importance. We must not be stingy with property. Let him do it freely!"

"promise!"

Cao Pi read the memorial book by book, and occasionally put forward his own opinions, but although Cao Cao was seriously ill, his mind was extremely clear.

Cao Pi was amazed that a dying person had such willpower, but he was also very depressed and a little afraid!

Since his father was seriously ill, Cao Pi has been looking forward to one thing day and night, that is, his father can rest assured to cultivate, and give himself the power to review memorials and appoint officials, and it is best to hand over the military power as well.

Regardless of Cao Pigui being the eldest son, in fact, he does not have much personal power, especially in the army. He has neither much military power nor a confidant general to command the army.

Once the father dies, the world is bound to change, the civil and military officials may attack, the arrogant soldiers may not obey orders, and his good brother Cao Zhi, although he is in Qingzhou, has been peeping at Xuchang, and he has been talking with the officials in private Frequent correspondence.Definitely a bad idea!

In this way, even if Cao Pi became the king of Wei, it would be difficult to command the world, and he would not even be able to sit on the throne, so he would be snatched away by others. Prepare for future crises!

I didn't expect my father to have a strong desire for power. It seems that he will never surrender his power before he swallows his last breath. What should I do?

To seize power, you don’t have the courage; to calculate, you don’t have the wisdom; to give up, you don’t want to be reconciled!

The thick stack of memorials was almost finished in a short time, and only the last one was left. This was deliberately kept by Cao Pi until the end. He thought that his father's physical strength and energy were exhausted, so he would say: "I am tired for my father." , and the rest, you can deal with it yourself! '

In that way, you can steal the day and change the day, and achieve your own goals. Now it seems that it will not work, and the memorial cannot be taken back, so I have to bite the bullet and read it.

"In the past, the civil and military officials who followed my father either became old or were promoted due to meritorious service, so some official positions in the court were vacant, and no one took over, which affected the official affairs!

Therefore, Hai'er discussed with the three princes and nine ministers, planning to promote some rookies to take over these official positions, and also asked his father for permission:

Promote Chen Qun to Yushi Zhongcheng, with a rank of two thousand stones!

Promote Simpi to Shang Shulang: rank one thousand stones!

Promote Xin to be the captain of the city gate: rank one thousand stones!

Promoting Zhu Shuo to be the deputy general of the Central Army, with a rank of one thousand stones!

…………

Promote Sima Yi to Zhijinwu, with a rank of eight hundred stones!

Cao Pi named more than a dozen names in one breath, but the official positions he promoted were not high. Among the civil and military officials, they could only be regarded as middle-level, which seemed to be a very common personnel change!

But when he was reading the memorial, his eyes flickered back and forth, peeking at the heated kang from time to time, as if he had a guilty conscience?

Looking at the kang again, Cao Cao remained silent and closed his eyes, as if he had lost his energy, but his eyelids throbbing violently proved that his heart was thundering and lightning, and huge waves were surging!

This memorial is very ingenious, it can hide from many people, but it can't hide from the traitor who has been playing tricks all his life!

'It's true that he is my son, with first-rate scheming, eyesight, and methods, but his courage is a bit weaker, treacherous but not male, ruthless but less tolerant, and there are problems with the people who use it! '

'Besides, I haven't died yet, are you going to grab the class and seize power? '

Cao Cao knew very well that although these official positions were not high, they all played an important role. For example, Yushi Zhongcheng was one of the three princes - an important assistant to Da Sikong. The imperial court drafts edicts and other powers!

Shang Shulang is a small official in charge of running errands at Shangshutai. It seems that he has no power, but all government orders issued by the imperial court must be conveyed by Shang Shulang, which plays a role of linking the past and the future!

City Gate Colonel - Responsible for the guards at the city gates in Xuchang, and lead the city gates to garrison troops!

Zhonglingjun - one of the important garrisons in Xuchang City, is stationed near the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Zhi Jinwu is also in command of an imperial army, responsible for defending the capital, Miyagi, and guarding the arsenal, which stores countless armor, weapons, arrow clusters, etc.!

In other words, Cao Pi wanted to put his confidants in an inconspicuous but very important position, and then control Xuchang's military power!

And if you control Xuchang, you control the imperial court. Once the Caoying Group undergoes drastic changes, Cao Pi can use the imperial court to order the world as long as he ascends. This is a huge political advantage!

In fact, Cao Cao was not angry at his son playing a little trick, but appreciated it very much. As his heir, in order to successfully take over the power and ensure the political status of the Cao family, it is necessary to install confidantes and control the court!

What Cao Cao was really angry about was that his son used inhumans. Chen Qun, Xin Pi, Xin Ping, Zhu Shuo, Sima Yi and more than a dozen people were either resourceful or shrewd. What they have in common - they came from a family of elites!

In his whole life, Cao Cao hated the gentry clan the most, and believed that they were the source of the country's troubles, so he suppressed them with all his strength, took precautions everywhere, and wholeheartedly wanted to establish a legalist regime!

In order to achieve this goal, Cao Cao did not hesitate to kill and carry out political purges several times. Even Xun Yu and Xun You, who have followed for many years and made outstanding achievements, were not spared!
