Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 296 Things are finally going to change

The first court meeting after Zhengdan must have nothing to do with military operations.

Cao Cao had a special war meeting hall, and no matter what, he would never reveal important military strategies to unimportant ministers.

Relevant to the fact that a large number of generals returned to the court to report on their duties, Zhang Wu had almost figured out what Cao Cao meant.

——Enter the Duke of Wei, and reward meritorious ministers.

Under Cai Yan's waiting, Zhang Wu changed into his regular clothes, casually boasted a sword, and then rode towards the palace.

After half a stick of incense,

Zhengyang Hall.

Cao Cao stood on the high platform, standing on the side of the emperor. Behind him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were guarding him.

Above the main hall, Cao Cao's most trusted and powerful generals were among the courtiers.

‘It looks like something really big has been done. ’

Zhang Wu shook his head and laughed.

Normally, the court meeting would be just a way for Boss Cao to appease the emperor.

The subordinates all perform their duties, and they will not go to the court to pay homage to the emperor.

Cao Cao also had his own small group to resolve important matters internally.

Today there are so many people here and they are all here to demonstrate to the emperor.

Since it was a demonstration, I had to give my father-in-law face and make his attitude clear first.

Zhang Wu was used to being a sycophant, so he naturally knew how to operate.

He walked straight to the middle of the hall, clasped his fists and performed a military salute: "General Zhang Wu, pay your respects to the lord."

Then, he kept silent and there was no further follow-up.

Addressing the Lord here is very particular.

It is obviously inappropriate to call father-in-law in such an occasion.

When it comes to official titles, Cao Cao is not qualified to be worshiped by Zhang Wu.

The lord is much more reasonable, this is a kind of recognition, and it is also a kind of loyalty.

All the officials in the court were in an uproar.

What does it mean to pay homage to Cao Cao when the emperor is still here?

What's more, the hussar general is inferior to the three princes, so there is no reason to pay homage to the prime minister!

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.

After calming down, he said, "Zi Qian is here."

As he spoke, he took off the sword from his waist and threw it towards Zhang Wu through the air.

Zhang Wu caught the sword with one hand, drew it away and looked at it, calling out the sword again and again.

The sword was three and a half feet long, one and a half fingers wide, with double edges and two deep blood grooves on the outside.

Two characters are engraved on the smooth sword - Yitian.

The sword given by Cao Cao is the Yitian Sword!

Well known.

Boss Cao has two famous swords. One is Yitian, which never leaves his body and is worn by Cao Cao himself. The other is Qingzhi, which was previously given to Zhang Wu and later transferred to Pang Tong by Zhang Wu.

Broken down, the two swords are different.

Qingzhi was just a famous sword, extremely sharp, and Cao Cao never wore it. It was more of a collection.

And this Yitian Sword, because it has been carried by Cao Cao for a long time, is more like a symbol of Cao Cao.

Now that Zhang Wu is holding this sword, even if he cuts first and kills later, there will probably be no problem.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the gift of the sword."

Zhang Wu didn't show any pretense, he immediately threw away the ordinary sword hanging from his waist and hung the Yitian Sword on it.

After clasping his fists again, he retreated back into line.

With this retreat, Zhang Wu suddenly became happy again.

Naturally, no one dared to compete with him for the left position. Taiwei Huang Wan did not see him, and the person standing behind him was Xun Yu!

Looking at this posture, Boss Cao clearly wants to completely replace Huang Wan as Taiwei with Xun Lingjun.

This is also to be expected.

Xun Yu, as the humerus of Cao Wei, completely abandoned his desire to serve the Han Dynasty. With his merits, he was indeed enough to hold the important positions of the Three Dukes.

Reasonable.

Later, Cao Ren, Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Jue, Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu, Zhang He, Ma Zhong, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Zhang He and Jiang Qi are listed one by one.

The military attachés who were supposed to be standing in the court hall were all pushed to the back.

Pang Tong has truly soared into the sky. With just one battle and one strategy, he was able to reach such a high position.

Of course this is understandable.

Pang Tong was the military advisor appointed by Zhang Wu. He was a real talent with one policy to secure Huainan and another to pacify Wei County. Cao Cao's strong support for him was in line with his nature of loving talents as much as his life.

It's interesting that Zhao Yun ranks before Ma Chao.

This is probably because Boss Cao included Zhao Yun's achievements under Gongsun Zan.

The first time he entered the grassland to help Zhang Wu defeat the Huns, and the second time he came out of Yuyangyi to save Zhang Wu, he also had a huge favor in it.

Otherwise, just counting Zhao Yun's achievements after surrendering to Cao, it would be impossible to stand in front of Ma Chao.

Since Ma Chao surrendered to Cao Cao, he has gone through dozens of battles, big and small, and was the first to disintegrate the alliance between Ma Teng and Han Sui. He is beginning to show the demeanor of a famous general. What is rare is that he is still the same age as Zhang Wu, only seventeen after the Chinese New Year.

Among the people in the queue, Lu Bu was probably the most satisfied. Zhang Wu could see the corners of his grinning lips from a distance.

To say the least, this guy is pitiful.

Since he served as Zhang Wu's deputy general, he first relieved the siege of Yingqiu. After moving to various places, he served as deputy general under Zhang Wu.

Then he followed Zhang Wu to rescue the dangerous situation in Bingzhou and defeated the foreign tribes in the north.

Later, the prime minister merged the state with the military and strengthened the power. Jinjinyeye dare not neglect in the slightest.

Today, he has finally become a serf and started singing. Not to mention taking off his hat of being the master and second minister, he has finally established a firm foothold in the power of Cao Wei.

Among military generals, he is second only to Zhang Wu and Cao Ren. This is the greatest recognition of his achievements.

The only heavyweight military attachés who were not present were Gongsun Zan, who was still staying in Bingzhou, and Pang De, who followed Ma Teng back to Guanzhong.

My husband, Gongsun, wants to save face. He used to be a prince and now he is a minister. It is estimated that his mentality will not change for a while, so he might as well not come.

As for Pang De, Ma Teng's previous rebellion was mostly due to coercion, and so far he has not completely surrendered to Cao Cao. His refusal to come is justified.

There has been no major change in the civil service group, and important positions are still held by wealthy families.

However, in Zhang Wu's view, this is not a problem at all.

In troubled times, civil servants without swords are nothing.

What's the use of standing high now? It's not Boss Cao's decision to change his position.

Just like Huang Wan who passively resigned, is Taiwei very good?

Without Cao Cao's nod, the dignified Taiwei couldn't even command the imperial army in Xuchang City, it's useless!
