Cao Cao was surprised and said, "Why do you think so? The system won't let me exploit loopholes like this."
He had already discussed this matter with Cao Hong before. Cao Cao was not blindly optimistic. He took a very open view of his own lifespan. Conforming to the laws of nature is Cao Cao's values.He does not pursue eternal life, nor does he think that someone will come to "resurrect" him in the future, and it is enough to have no regrets in this life.
Cao Hong said: "If you don't even try to struggle, how can you be sure that this will not happen? Or are you planning to abandon so many of our children who have been resurrected by you, abandon this world where it is finally possible to unify the world, and enjoy death by yourself? The peace after that? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"
Cao Hong's expression was gloomy, burning with anger, while Cao Song, who had become a doll, struggled and screamed excitedly.
Cao Cao could only tell Cao Song: "Father, I think you guessed it, Ah Hong is also a resurrected person."
There was only one person Cao Cao called Ah Hong from beginning to end, and that was Emperor Xianling!
Cao Song's eyes widened suddenly. He thought of the fact that Emperor Xianling respected and filialized himself all these years, and that he was not well after calling him grandfather for so many years.
Who else, who else is not a child of my Cao family!
Cao Song lost his beard to blow on, his chest heaved with anger, and he rolled his eyes.
Cao Cao explained to his young father: "Father, don't worry, our Cao family has five children who are all sons in my blood, and they are real children. Both A Ang and A Pi, and A Zhang, A Zhi and Chong Son, the rest are my resurrected people."
Disobeying the destiny and reversing human life, this rebellious son doesn't know where the ability comes from. Could it be possible that he really got the magic technique taught by the immortal?
No matter how angry Cao Song was, he was powerless and became a baby arranged by his son, who couldn't help eating, drinking and sleeping.
The Cao family counted Xiao Jiu Guo Jia, but Cao Song was ranked as Xiao Ten!
Cao Cao dealt with Cao Hong, who was furious, and repeatedly promised that he would not resurrect people at will. He swore to the sky: "I will listen to you, and I must teach Chonger well!"
In order to prevent Cao Cao from dealing with himself, Cao Hong told all the people who had been resurrected by Cao Cao that every time he resurrected a person would consume one year of his life.
Xi Kang, Guo Yi, Cao Dian and Cao Song.
The soft Cao Chong didn't know that he had become the hope of the whole village. He nestled in Cao Hong's arms, hooked Cao Hong's neck and acted like a baby, wanting his second brother to play with him.
Cao Hong coaxed Cao Chong, handed him over to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to accept Chong'er's education immediately.
Cao Cao touched his nose, and took the soft child stiffly.
With tears in the corners of Cao Chong's eyes, he looked at the stranger Cao Cao timidly, and called Cao Hong in a crying voice, "Second brother, I'm afraid!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he said in as gentle a voice as possible: "Chong'er, I am your father!"
What responded to him was Cao Chong's crying, opening his little hands to hug Cao Hong, saying "Daddy is scary."
Now not only Cao Hong blamed him, but Cao Song blamed him for making Chonger cry.
Cao Cao touched Zi's face: "Am I really that scary?"
He looks very handsome!Full of masculinity, how can it scare people?
Chong'er didn't want to stay in his arms, afraid of Cao Cao's invisible power, but instead clinged to Cao Hong, who was as kind as his mother.
Cao Cao said confidently: "Look, it's not that I don't teach Chong'er, but that he doesn't like me!"
"That's because you're scaring the child. Take back your aura. I'll take Chong'er to take a nap first. You and your military advisers should think about how to deal with grandfather's funeral next!"
As soon as Cao Cao returned home, Cao Song died. After a great victory, he should have rewarded the ministers with meritorious service and celebrated with the court, but he didn't want such a thing to happen.Everyone knows that Wei Wang Cao Cao attaches great importance to his father and is a filial son. How to balance it in the future, and how to explain to his younger brother Cao De, all need Cao Cao to come forward and deal with it properly.
"Although I told the secret to the most important family members, I was so mad at my father." Cao Cao faced Xi Kang and Guo Yi with a low voice: "I have a plan in my mind about what to do next, but I just won the north. , There will definitely be big changes in the government, and I plan to move the capital, and I will definitely leave Xuchang again at that time."
Xi Kang smiled and said: "My lord, just go, no one in the family will restrain you, and Zigao is just caring and chaos, and he is a bit fierce to you. You don't have to change your life because of this matter."
"I did neglect my family for the great cause of the world," Cao Cao admitted frankly that he was not a qualified father.
"When did my lord ever feel so short-tempered as a hero and love so much?" Xi Kang comforted him: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, you devote most of your energy to the world, and work hard to create a paradise where children can grow up with peace of mind. You are a good father, but your contribution is greater, far away in the sky, and ordinary people can't see it."
In order to handle Cao Song's funeral, Cao Cao called Cao Ang and Cao Pi who were out on errands back home.
The younger brother Cao De asked Cao Cao to leave it to himself to write the tombstone for his father's grave, and treated him coldly: "My brother's heart is in the world, how can I bother you with family affairs? You are not worthy of funeral for father!"
Cao Cao didn't know why his honest half-brother felt resentful. On the one hand, he balanced the court and suppressed the rewards for pacifying the north. Done.
When Cao Ang heard the news of his grandfather's death, he was very sad. When he got home, he saw his wife Lu Lingqi's eyes dodged, and he hesitated to speak many times. He couldn't help asking her: "What's wrong?"
Lu Lingqi whispered: "I heard from the servants around my grandfather that my father was mad at my grandfather, and the two of them had an argument in the study. The second uncle has been giving my father a cold face for several days because of this matter." .”
She asked Cao Ang worriedly: "I'm really afraid that my second uncle will embarrass my father by telling this matter."
Cao Song was fine before he died of illness, but it was indeed after Cao Cao entered that he suddenly got an emergency and died.
Lu Lingqi personally sent Cao Cao into the study, and really believed what the servant said. These days, she couldn't eat well and sleep well. Seeing the majestic Cao Cao, she suppressed her fear in her heart and closed it when her husband came back. The door came to tell with tears.
Cao Ang didn't believe this!
He firmly said: "Father respects and loves grandfather, he will not hurt grandfather, outsiders poured dirty water on father, we ourselves cannot believe these misinformation, don't chill father's heart."
Seeing that her husband was standing firmly on Cao Cao's side, Lu Lingqi sighed helplessly: "But..."
"No, but, I'll ask my father myself," Cao Ang didn't talk about this behind his back, and put his doubts on the surface frankly. He came to find Cao Cao and asked the truth about his grandfather's death.
Faced with the eldest son's questioning, Cao Cao was extremely embarrassed. He covered his conscience and said in pain, "Father was really mad at me."
Cao Ang's eyes widened suddenly: "How is it possible?!"
Cao Cao stopped the servants outside: "Go and bring Xiao Shi here."
The servant went away in response, and soon brought the cursing Cao Song back.
Cao Cao picked up Cao Song, put him on his lap, heard his own father babbling and spitting out an indescribable fragrance, and told Cao Ang solemnly, "This is your grandfather."
Cao Ang: "..."
He pointed at Baby Cao Song with a trembling finger, and gasped: "Mother can even resurrect grandfather! Could it be that father is afraid that grandfather will die like grandmother, so he deliberately pissed off grandfather so that mother can resurrect him?"
That's right, Cao Ang still doesn't know that Diao Chan and Cao Cao are the same person.
Cao Cao sighed: "Actually, Diao Chan..."
Cao Song grabbed his finger, opened his deciduous teeth and bit him viciously.
Cao Cao froze, feeling the threat from his own father, he didn't dare to continue talking.
Cao Song's eyes were dangerous, and he grinned.
He could even imagine the words he scolded him from the look in his eyes.
Rebel!
Cao Ang was puzzled: "What?"
"No, it's nothing, Diao Chan has already gone back."
Cao Ang suddenly realized, and in turn comforted Cao Cao: "The child knows that the mother has a special status and cannot go down to the mortal world at will. The father does not need to worry, and the child understands."
No need to bite the bullet and explain, Cao Ang's thoughtfulness made Cao Cao's eyes fill with tears, and he praised him: "Good boy."
Cao Ang wondered: "It's just that my second uncle didn't know about my grandfather's salvation. After hearing what my servant said, I thought you killed my father. Now I'm afraid I feel resentful."
Cao Cao was surprised and said: "There is such a thing, so the misunderstanding is here."
"How does father plan to explain to second uncle?"
"Take Xiao Shi to show your second uncle," Cao Cao said earnestly, "Unification of the world is just around the corner, and I am no longer invincible. I don't have to be afraid of people spying on my house. This secret is no longer a secret that will threaten the lives of my family. .Your second uncle is still our family after all, so we don't have to hide this from our family in the future."
Without the old lady in the family, Lu Lingqi couldn't let Lu Lingqi take over the raising of Cao Song. It would be more appropriate to hand Cao Song over to Cao De and his wife.
Regardless of how chaotic Cao De was when he took over Cao Song, at least Cao Cao himself was much more relaxed after solving a problem in his heart, and finally he was able to make big moves to clean up the court.
He sent Yuan Xi to Yuan Shaoyuan, and another "touching" show was staged.
Yuan Xi knelt in front of Yuan Shao and wept bitterly, telling that he was guilty, that he and Yuan Shang persecuted Yuan Tan, and watched Yuan Shang order Yuan Tan to be killed. The foundation is ruined!
After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he began to complain to Yuan Shao.
Then Yuan Shang is not human!
He killed his half-brother, even his first brother!
Yuan Xi said sadly: "My child will never forget that scene for the rest of my life. It was at that time that Yuan Shang stabbed the knife into my abdomen. I was paralyzed in the hall, feeling the passing of life, and almost lost sight of my father! "
If Cao Jun hadn't rescued him, even if he didn't bleed to death, he would have died in the cold palace.
Yuan Shao listened to him with a gloomy face, covered his face, and suddenly laughed.
From the beginning of chuckling, to the distorted laugh afterwards, the whole room was full of his crazy laughter.
"Good! Good! Good! What a Cao Mengde!"
No wonder, no wonder he didn't attack the north for so long. It turned out that he had already predicted that his rear would be unstable, and that his three sons were ambitious and stupid.
Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "My son is worthless, it's my father who didn't teach well! In this match, I won't be wronged, I won't be wronged, hahahaha!"
He sneered and pointed at Yuan Xi's nose: "Kneel outside for me, I don't want to see you now!"
Yuan Shao said coldly: "I only have three sons, and I can ruin the foundation of the north by making trouble, but Cao Cao has eight sons."
Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "It may be more than that. As far as I know, Cao Cao already has a ninth son."
"Is it still not chaotic?" Yuan Shao was not optimistic about Cao Cao, and he took the lead in singing bad words: "I want to see what kind of drama Cao Cao's son will perform for the position of heir in the future!"
As he said that, he pointed Yuan Xi out and said sharply: "Get out of here!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became!
On the other hand, Cao Cao made a quick move. First, he issued a decree, announcing the news that Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou had quelled the rebellion. The generals of the surrendered army conferred official positions.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty has gradually transformed from a young man to a young man. He is like the most beautiful vase, sitting on the top and listening to Cao Cao's advice without saying a word.
Empress Fu's weeping sound came from Liu Xie's ear: Your Majesty, on the day Cao Bandits rule the world, will we still need you, the emperor and the empress?At that time, the whole world will be the people of Cao Thief, and you and I will be forever lost!
The author has something to say: Cao Cao: Anyway, I am not human inside and out, Buddha

☆、Countdown to the end 3
Since Cao Cao pacified the north, the situation in the whole world has changed.
Previously in a wait-and-see state, scribes who lived in seclusion in the mountains came out of the mountains one after another, and gathered with their families under the relatively peaceful Cao Cao.The children of the northern clan joined forces again, and the people gathered by Cao Cao's subordinates showed that the Fujing clan broke out.
With the expansion of the scope under the rule, more infrastructure needs to be put into effect, and a large number of officials are needed, Cao Cao made the decision to re-open the Enke and add another imperial examination.
The literati in the north were dumbfounded. They thought that Cao Cao would promote them because of the family behind them and their prestige, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even get an official position and had to take the exam!
Scholars gathered and loudly reprimanded Cao Cao's imperial examination system for violating the ancestral system, which was an unprecedented and shocking move.There are so many denunciators that they can gather to form an army!
The increase in the number of people gave the scholars confidence, allowing them to gather every three days, scold Cao Cao together, form cliques to express their indignation, seek sympathy, and negotiate a block against the imperial examination system.
There are a lot of people gathered, and there are many famous people among them.
Cao Hong pointed at those people, smiling sarcasticly: "Ah, now you know why I implemented the party ban in the first place, don't you? Those people, are they really for the sake of the country, or for their own interests? The literati's lips are really annoying, yes no?"
Cao Hong often travels between Wei Wangfu and Shangshufu. As Shangshu Xunyu's assistant, he has been in contact with various government affairs. Everyone knows that he is Cao Cao's son who was raised as his heir, and they respect him very much.
Cao Cao didn't shy away from raising government affairs in front of Cao Hong, and others didn't shy away from it.
No one knew that after Cao Hong was able to freely enter and leave the Wei Palace, he either came to order Cao Cao to teach Cao Chong how to practice martial arts all day long, or tricked him into killing people.
"Those literati who obstructed the imperial examination system have gathered a climate, and can form a rebel army that threatens peace at any time. At this time, killing chickens and monkeys can kill the elite of the enemy! There are so many people in the world, and there is no need to care about one or two dead celebrities. , many people want to follow you to build a country. Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish, it’s that simple.”
Cao Hong's political ideas are rough and capricious, and he never thought of solving the problem in a tactful way.
Cao Cao disagreed and said, "What big things can a group of literati do? I have millions of soldiers in my hands, and I am also a general who holds real power. How can I be afraid of the gathering of those powerless people? The literati will only Just move your lips."
"You are really generous, let people scold you behind your back, is this a big-hearted person, or is it cowardly?" Cao Hong sneered.
"Ah Hong, we have a lot of time to manage the world well. People like you will leave future troubles. In comparison, the roundabout method will take longer, but it can achieve the goal of minimal casualties and sustainable development in a stable manner. .”
Cao Cao in turn taught Cao Hong how to deal with it. He was helpless: "If you have more patience, with your talent, you will definitely be able to take over my position and manage the Han Dynasty well."
"I don't have that much patience with others' hypocrisy," Cao Hong snorted coldly, threw the official document on Cao Cao's desk, and said angrily: "Let's see how many people have made small moves in the government recently. Those who oppose you now, the rumors They are almost higher than the army and come back victorious.”
"There are many clans coming from the north. This is inevitable. After I take over the south, there will be more noble families there. Conflicts will always exist. Any change will cause the pain of old and new conflicts. Just get over it. I am not money. , Of course, not everyone loves me," Cao Cao said, full of philosophical words, a bit like an old man who sees through the world of mortals.
He said faintly: "Ah Hong, you are still too young."
Cao Hong smiled, threw the manuscript paper to Cao Cao's face, and said bitterly: "Hurry up and clean up all the people around Liu Xie, and wait for them to support the emperor to fight against you? Restoring the former three princes and nine ministers? Think It's quite beautiful."
Cao Cao was dawdling in what he was doing, and showed a meaningful Buddha-like smile. He answered Cao Hong perfunctorily: "No hurry, no hurry, things need to be done little by little, and the road needs to be taken step by step."
Cao Hong obviously felt that his mind was not here, and stared at Cao Cao for a long time, until he felt a thorny feeling on his back and raised his head, then said expressionlessly: "Since you are not in a hurry, it is better to hand this matter over to you." Do it for me."
Cao Cao was very surprised: "It's rare to see you take the initiative to do the work."
In the past, Cao Hong's attitude was like a lazy donkey, who would not smoke or leave, but now he took the initiative, which is really strange.
"Don't really kill all the scholars. I still need those people to come to the bottom of my imperial examination! Some people come to apply for the exam, and some stand out to show how ridiculous they are. The imperial examination system is the correct system, and time will tell. I was right, they will submit to me, or they will decline, it’s as simple as that. If you kill them now, it will be no different from the party prison you set up at the beginning. I don’t want the world to enter the cycle of troubled times again in the future,” Cao Cao Seriously, earnestly brainwashing Cao Hong.
At the beginning, Cao Hong insisted on going his own way, but he could not persuade him. Now Cao Cao is sitting in the position of the lord. Cao Hong changed his identity, and things suddenly changed.
I saw Cao Hong waved his hand: "Understood, I won't kill people casually. The more I live, the more I chatter, the more I become a mother-in-law, and I don't have the drive of a young man."
Although he said he disliked it, since Cao Hong had promised, he would not really kill people indiscriminately.
Cao Cao wasn't afraid that Cao Hong would really mess it up, so he said, "Wen Ruo's birthday is about to come, and as a disciple, you can send a heartfelt gift."
Cao Hong: "..."
He glanced at Cao Cao coldly: "Understood."
The young man slammed the door angrily and left, startling a group of officials waiting outside King Wei's study. They whispered, "What's wrong with the second son? Are you having trouble with the lord?"
"Can we still go in and find the lord? Even the lord is in a bad mood."
Xun You listened to the whispers of the crowd, and went to see Cao Cao with the official document first.
Inside the house, Cao Cao was fine, but he was in a good mood. Xun You understood, and he had a better understanding of how much the second son was favored by the lord.
This is all angry and slammed the door, the lord is not angry at all, obviously conniving, to be so conniving, it must be a very good relationship.
"My lord, the list of rewards and punishments for each army has been compiled. The military salary required this time is [-]% higher than in previous years due to rewards."
"It's okay, just pass it up and allocate funds as usual," Cao Cao replied lightly.
He fell into a daze again, with the back of his hand propping his cheek, and a subtle smile appeared on his face from time to time.
"What's the happy event, my lord?"
Cao Cao laughed: "A happy event, it can be considered a happy event! I have so much money now that I can't run out."
He told about the troubles of getting rich.
"After robbing Yuan Shao, the wealth accumulated by our army is as high as a mountain. Now that the Zhen family is so knowledgeable, my wealth is even more. There are also wealthy businessmen such as the Mi family who gather to pay taxes. The money is not as good as it is. It's better to spend it if it's rusty!"
So Cao Cao was worrying about how to spend the money!
"Roads need to be built, roads need to be built, and roads can be smooth, so that people can get rich. Schools need to be built, houses need to be repaired, ah, there are also fields, canal digging, drought and disaster prevention, and cotton promotion," Cao Cao planned to spend money, saying every day A project is a bottomless pit.
"It seems that the money can't be completely spent. It's better to set up a special research institute in the Ministry of Industry. Whether it's improving people's livelihood or improving weapons, it needs investment. It's better to set up a school for raising orphans. The saint said Isn’t it just that the old people have something to rely on and the young ones have something to support? Since the money is too much to spend, then set up a place to support the elderly who lost their children in the war.”
Xun You secretly sweated after hearing Cao Cao's talk about spending money and spending money.
That's right, their lord is now exuding a golden tyrant's light all over his body, and he has so much money that he can't run out, and now his whole mind is on how to spend the money, and he feels happy every day.Those scholars who scolded the lord were like stones on the side of the road, they didn't attract his attention at all.
"How is Jiangdong?" Cao Cao asked again, "Has Sun Ce escaped recently?"
Xun You reported: "Recently, many people have contacted Sun Ce, wanting to help him escape, but they were all caught by the guards. It's just that this is not the way to go. Instead, there is a message from Jia Junshi in Jiangdong, please give the order The imperial court ordered Sun Quan to be recruited to Xuchang."
Sun Quan has become the veritable Lord of Jiangdong, but Jia Xu was able to spread such news in Jiangdong and not let it go. The progress of recruiting security is gratifying.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and promulgated the edict to recruit Sun Quan to Xuchang, and ordered the envoy to send it to Jiangdong as quickly as possible. We must unite with the little overlord."
In case Sun Ce fled back to Jiangdong, Sun Quan, who had already secured his position as the lord of Jiangdong, fell into Cao Cao's hands again, that would be a real joy.
Xun You was surprised and said, "My lord, why don't you imprison the two brothers of the Sun family? Isn't it better to catch them all at once than to let one of them go?"
"The only thing we need is that they look like enemies but not enemies, and they seem to be seeking refuge but not seeking refuge." Cao Cao laughed.
When Xun Youlue thought about Cao Cao's intentions, he was horrified.
The lord's scheming is shameful. As long as Jiangdong does not fall into Cao Cao's hands for a day, the internal opposition forces that are ready to move will jump down. We are not afraid of them being active, but we are afraid that they will restrain themselves and dare not act rashly.
My lord is planning to put a long line to catch big fish, and wipe out the opposition forces!
Just as Xun Yougang felt in his heart that the lord is determined to forge ahead, decisive in killing and attacking, and his mental strategy is beyond human ability, he turned his head and heard Cao Cao whispering: "Wen Ruo is going to celebrate his birthday, what should I give this time? I am happy, but he has already grown up early, so I should give him a good product for nourishing the kidney, shall we?"
Xun You: "..."
The feeling that surged up in my heart at that moment was extremely sour!
Why did Jiangdong agree to Cao Cao's recruitment, and why did Sun Quan give up resistance and leave for Xuchang?
All of this started with Cao Cao's unification of the north. Since he became the veritable master of the eight states, everyone in Jiangdong has started a heated discussion about Cao Cao's future southward travel.
Zhou Yu set off in command, and according to Sun Quan's instructions, he and Liu Biao of Jingzhou put aside their previous suspicions and sought the possibility of alliance.
A slap can't be made, Jiang Dong wants to unite, but Liu Biao is still unwilling!
Zhou Yu moved with reason, but he didn't think that Liu Biao's subordinates were full of civil servants, each of whom could be a useful think tank!
When he was distraught, Liu Biao died of illness. Before he died, he passed the throne to his second son Liu Cong. The eldest son Liu Qi, who was supposed to inherit his position, became an abandoned son and was persecuted by his second wife Cai. Fortunately, Zhou Yu rescued him and fled all the way to Wu The county survived.
Jingzhou has already fallen into the hands of the Cai family, and the newly succeeded Liu Cong also wrote a letter to the court to appoint an official, which is a sign of dog-leg attachment.
Zhou Yu was so angry that he said "there are no heroes in the world to be an alliance", and went back to report to Sun Quan.
Everyone in Jiangdong discussed, come on, surrender!If you don't vote, you can only be beaten and harvested leeks. It's better to vote for more benefits!
Now that Sun Quan has accepted the transfer to Xuchang, he may be able to catch up with the grandest Xuchang imperial examination.
Sun Quan packed up his belongings, took half of the hostages, half of the guide Jia Xu, followed by the civil servant Zhang Zhao, and the military general Zhou Yu led the army to escort him, and set foot on the big ship going north.
Ever since she knew she could return to Xuchang, Jia Xu always had a bright smile on her face.He was not idle when he arrived in Jiangdong. Even though Sun Quan sent people to monitor him, Jia Xu still relied on his heaven-defying wisdom to recruit a younger brother who was willing to follow him.
No, the Lu family of the Jiangdong clan boarded Jia Xu's pirate ship, and sent Lu Xun, who supported the Lu family's facade, to study by his side.
"Sir, it is said that Mr. Cao is good at appointing people, and he doesn't care about his background and morals. Therefore, he appointed some officials who are talented but have bad conduct. Is this true?"
"Huh? Is this how Jiangdong preaches about the lord?" Jia Xu laughed and said, "The so-called character, how do you judge it? A person's reputation? Or family status?"
Seeing that the young man was silent, he said slowly: "A prominent family may also produce dudes, and a poor family may also produce young people who are enterprising and have the world in mind. It is true that the lord does not care about reputation, but under the imperial examination system In officialdom, promotion depends on performance."
"The imperial examination system?"
"Don't you want to revive the Lu family business? Don't you think about taking the exam?" Jia Xu laughed: "It's different now, the method of recommending to the lord is useless. Lu Lang is a great talent, why not take the imperial examination?" Spraying ink on the examination field to achieve a career?"
When everyone heard Jia Xu talk about his hero who is wise, brave and courageous, they only thought he was bragging. When they arrived in Yuzhou in the north, they felt that thousands of students were flocking to them. In terms of policy, let us know that under Cao Cao's rule, it has become such a prosperous scene!
Zhang Zhaodao: "The imperial examination system is an unheard of system. It breaks the old rules of the predecessors, and recruits scholars from all over the world to be his disciples. Cao Cao's ambition is not just to be the regent."
Zhou Yu said coldly: "Today everyone knows the king of Wei, Cao Cao, but no one knows the emperor. The fall of the Han Dynasty was overthrown by Cao Cao. Changing the emperor and the year is just a fig leaf."
Sun Quan shook his head: "The power of the world is irreversible. No one can deal with Cao Jun's sharpness. If we retreat to the east of the river, we can unite with our friendly troops in the south of the river. Maybe we can resist one or two and prevent Cao Cao from unifying the world."
But now, Jingzhou is on its knees, the terrain of Bashu is complicated, people outside can't get in, the army inside can't get out, Liangzhou is still in civil strife, everyone can count on it.
The scholars in Jingzhou have lived in a comfortable environment for too long, and they have lost their eyesight to the world.
Zhou Yu was also helpless, relying only on Jiangdong's forces, against Cao Cao, he would hit a stone with an egg.
He just said earlier that "there are no heroes in the world", but when he arrived in Xuchang, he could only see heroes everywhere, and you could meet a famous person if you just fished in an inn or restaurant.
The inns in Xuchang City are also very expensive, and every inch of land is expensive. When they arrived, there were no vacant rooms.
Jia Xu smiled and took out her official seal, and led everyone to live in a nearby post station.
This post station is set up for officials and Tai students to rest. It is relatively close to the gate of Xuchang city. It can be crossed inside and outside Xuchang city in one day. The conference room and the scenery in the courtyard are also good.
When they moved into the station, they saw more than a dozen literati wearing clothes of the same color and style surrounded the station. Jia Xu pointed it out to everyone in Jiangdong: "They are Tai students. They may live here because they will go out of the city to practice later. Taixue pays attention to practical activities, and every grade has their specific tasks, and the professors are all people who are good at practical affairs."
The students were about 17 years old, each young and full of vigor, with the childishness of students on their faces, and the precocious ones already had the elegant demeanor of celebrities.Sun Quan took a few glances, only to feel that every student is not simple.
The students do not shy away from talking about current affairs, which is related to the enlightened atmosphere in the Taixue. Just from the words they talked about, we can know how much energy and manpower Cao Cao spent in cultivating such a group of future fresh blood .
Zhou Yu pricked up his ears to listen to a few words, and was shocked by the free style of study in Xuchang City.The governance style of those in power can be reflected in the cultural landscape under their rule.
There was a feeling lingering in Zhou Yu's heart, and he glanced over inadvertently, and saw one of the students who was having a heated debate with his classmates raised his eyes and looked at him, and that light glance made him feel turbulent , A premonition of unclear reason arises.
"Zhuge Liang, I think you are making too much sense. You are wrong. If you follow your argument, there is no weakness in the gossip formation. Everything in the world has weaknesses. You speak too absolutely because you have too little knowledge. !"
Hearing the fierce debate of his classmates, the student turned his head and glared at him, and said sharply, "Sima Zhongda, if you have more knowledge, you will find a way to break my gossip formation. It's not that I have little knowledge, it's because you are too weak." .”
The high-spirited young men started fighting in no time. These two gentle and elegant young men who were obviously very elegant in front of others, as long as they got together, they would definitely be in flames.
The other students are familiar with this posture, so let them fight.
Jia Xu smiled and asked them, "Aren't you going to persuade them?"
"No need to persuade them, they will get together to drink after each fight." Another student replied: "You can't persuade them to fight at this time, or they will run away on their behalf and get involved in their fights."
"We're just mortals, and we don't want to get involved in fighting with gods."
"Hey, look, there is a fool trying to persuade the fight!"
That idiot was Zhou Yu who was curious about the students of Xuchang Taixue.
Zhuge Liang is quick in thinking and sharp in speech, and he never repeats the language that he turns over and over again. He stands on an argument, which is a quotation that can turn out flowers to prove that he is right.
Sima Yi's thinking is erratic, cunning and fickle, and he is best at grasping the loopholes in a person's words to criticize. If he wants to express his own point of view, he will definitely step on other people's points of view before giving up.
Once these two quarrel, there may not be a result for seven days and seven nights. If anyone squeezes in between them, his thoughts will be led away by the two parties, and he will be dragged to one side and then to the other. , the two strands of thinking, one left and one right, are in a tug-of-war shape, and it is conceivable how many people are squeezed in the middle.
Zhou Yu was six years older than them, and he was already a young and talented star. Even if he was around him, he could not withstand the wrestling of two high school students.
It was Sun Quan who saved the man by speaking out, preventing him from being squeezed and bombarded by two students.
Zhou Yu was dragged back with lingering fear, and said something from the bottom of his heart to Sun Quan: "It's not that there are no heroes in the world, but they have all gone to Cao Cao's place in Xuchang."
When they arrived, the imperial examination had already reached the "provincial examination" conducted by Shangshu Province, and the entire Xuchang had gathered the best talents from all counties and prefectures.
Compared with the gold mines everywhere in Xuchang city, compared with Jiangdong, which has few important ministers, and Jingzhou, where no one is available, one has to feel the "richness" of Cao Cao's talents.
Rao Zhou Yu, who has seen through Cao Cao's "ambition", has to admit that the imperial examination system can abandon clan interests and recruit talents from more places for the court to the greatest extent.Being able to come up with such a system and break through public opinion to implement it, Cao Cao has become a god-man admired by scholars all over the world.
Cao Cao expressed a warm welcome to Sun Quan's coming to Xuchang as a Beijing official. Before the Jiangdong people took over the dust, he released Sun Ce, who had gained a lot of weight, to reunite with them.
Sun Ce, who had already contacted the master to help him escape, saw his younger brother coming to Xuchang, pointed at them tremblingly for a moment, rolled his eyes angrily, and died on the spot.
What is he running so hard for?What is it for? !
After being captured by Cao Cao for so long, Sun Ce didn't look haggard, but became more mellow because of the good food.
Seeing that Sun Ce almost didn't recognize him, Zhou Yu's eyes made Sun Ce even more sad and indignant.
Although he exercised every day, Cao Cao was very bad. He was locked in a small place, he could not run, and his weapons were confiscated, so he could only punch.With so many ingredients being delivered every day, can you not gain weight by eating less?
Cao Cao
He had already discussed this matter with Cao Hong before. Cao Cao was not blindly optimistic. He took a very open view of his own lifespan. Conforming to the laws of nature is Cao Cao's values.He does not pursue eternal life, nor does he think that someone will come to "resurrect" him in the future, and it is enough to have no regrets in this life.
Cao Hong said: "If you don't even try to struggle, how can you be sure that this will not happen? Or are you planning to abandon so many of our children who have been resurrected by you, abandon this world where it is finally possible to unify the world, and enjoy death by yourself? The peace after that? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"
Cao Hong's expression was gloomy, burning with anger, while Cao Song, who had become a doll, struggled and screamed excitedly.
Cao Cao could only tell Cao Song: "Father, I think you guessed it, Ah Hong is also a resurrected person."
There was only one person Cao Cao called Ah Hong from beginning to end, and that was Emperor Xianling!
Cao Song's eyes widened suddenly. He thought of the fact that Emperor Xianling respected and filialized himself all these years, and that he was not well after calling him grandfather for so many years.
Who else, who else is not a child of my Cao family!
Cao Song lost his beard to blow on, his chest heaved with anger, and he rolled his eyes.
Cao Cao explained to his young father: "Father, don't worry, our Cao family has five children who are all sons in my blood, and they are real children. Both A Ang and A Pi, and A Zhang, A Zhi and Chong Son, the rest are my resurrected people."
Disobeying the destiny and reversing human life, this rebellious son doesn't know where the ability comes from. Could it be possible that he really got the magic technique taught by the immortal?
No matter how angry Cao Song was, he was powerless and became a baby arranged by his son, who couldn't help eating, drinking and sleeping.
The Cao family counted Xiao Jiu Guo Jia, but Cao Song was ranked as Xiao Ten!
Cao Cao dealt with Cao Hong, who was furious, and repeatedly promised that he would not resurrect people at will. He swore to the sky: "I will listen to you, and I must teach Chonger well!"
In order to prevent Cao Cao from dealing with himself, Cao Hong told all the people who had been resurrected by Cao Cao that every time he resurrected a person would consume one year of his life.
Xi Kang, Guo Yi, Cao Dian and Cao Song.
The soft Cao Chong didn't know that he had become the hope of the whole village. He nestled in Cao Hong's arms, hooked Cao Hong's neck and acted like a baby, wanting his second brother to play with him.
Cao Hong coaxed Cao Chong, handed him over to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to accept Chong'er's education immediately.
Cao Cao touched his nose, and took the soft child stiffly.
With tears in the corners of Cao Chong's eyes, he looked at the stranger Cao Cao timidly, and called Cao Hong in a crying voice, "Second brother, I'm afraid!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he said in as gentle a voice as possible: "Chong'er, I am your father!"
What responded to him was Cao Chong's crying, opening his little hands to hug Cao Hong, saying "Daddy is scary."
Now not only Cao Hong blamed him, but Cao Song blamed him for making Chonger cry.
Cao Cao touched Zi's face: "Am I really that scary?"
He looks very handsome!Full of masculinity, how can it scare people?
Chong'er didn't want to stay in his arms, afraid of Cao Cao's invisible power, but instead clinged to Cao Hong, who was as kind as his mother.
Cao Cao said confidently: "Look, it's not that I don't teach Chong'er, but that he doesn't like me!"
"That's because you're scaring the child. Take back your aura. I'll take Chong'er to take a nap first. You and your military advisers should think about how to deal with grandfather's funeral next!"
As soon as Cao Cao returned home, Cao Song died. After a great victory, he should have rewarded the ministers with meritorious service and celebrated with the court, but he didn't want such a thing to happen.Everyone knows that Wei Wang Cao Cao attaches great importance to his father and is a filial son. How to balance it in the future, and how to explain to his younger brother Cao De, all need Cao Cao to come forward and deal with it properly.
"Although I told the secret to the most important family members, I was so mad at my father." Cao Cao faced Xi Kang and Guo Yi with a low voice: "I have a plan in my mind about what to do next, but I just won the north. , There will definitely be big changes in the government, and I plan to move the capital, and I will definitely leave Xuchang again at that time."
Xi Kang smiled and said: "My lord, just go, no one in the family will restrain you, and Zigao is just caring and chaos, and he is a bit fierce to you. You don't have to change your life because of this matter."
"I did neglect my family for the great cause of the world," Cao Cao admitted frankly that he was not a qualified father.
"When did my lord ever feel so short-tempered as a hero and love so much?" Xi Kang comforted him: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, you devote most of your energy to the world, and work hard to create a paradise where children can grow up with peace of mind. You are a good father, but your contribution is greater, far away in the sky, and ordinary people can't see it."
In order to handle Cao Song's funeral, Cao Cao called Cao Ang and Cao Pi who were out on errands back home.
The younger brother Cao De asked Cao Cao to leave it to himself to write the tombstone for his father's grave, and treated him coldly: "My brother's heart is in the world, how can I bother you with family affairs? You are not worthy of funeral for father!"
Cao Cao didn't know why his honest half-brother felt resentful. On the one hand, he balanced the court and suppressed the rewards for pacifying the north. Done.
When Cao Ang heard the news of his grandfather's death, he was very sad. When he got home, he saw his wife Lu Lingqi's eyes dodged, and he hesitated to speak many times. He couldn't help asking her: "What's wrong?"
Lu Lingqi whispered: "I heard from the servants around my grandfather that my father was mad at my grandfather, and the two of them had an argument in the study. The second uncle has been giving my father a cold face for several days because of this matter." .”
She asked Cao Ang worriedly: "I'm really afraid that my second uncle will embarrass my father by telling this matter."
Cao Song was fine before he died of illness, but it was indeed after Cao Cao entered that he suddenly got an emergency and died.
Lu Lingqi personally sent Cao Cao into the study, and really believed what the servant said. These days, she couldn't eat well and sleep well. Seeing the majestic Cao Cao, she suppressed her fear in her heart and closed it when her husband came back. The door came to tell with tears.
Cao Ang didn't believe this!
He firmly said: "Father respects and loves grandfather, he will not hurt grandfather, outsiders poured dirty water on father, we ourselves cannot believe these misinformation, don't chill father's heart."
Seeing that her husband was standing firmly on Cao Cao's side, Lu Lingqi sighed helplessly: "But..."
"No, but, I'll ask my father myself," Cao Ang didn't talk about this behind his back, and put his doubts on the surface frankly. He came to find Cao Cao and asked the truth about his grandfather's death.
Faced with the eldest son's questioning, Cao Cao was extremely embarrassed. He covered his conscience and said in pain, "Father was really mad at me."
Cao Ang's eyes widened suddenly: "How is it possible?!"
Cao Cao stopped the servants outside: "Go and bring Xiao Shi here."
The servant went away in response, and soon brought the cursing Cao Song back.
Cao Cao picked up Cao Song, put him on his lap, heard his own father babbling and spitting out an indescribable fragrance, and told Cao Ang solemnly, "This is your grandfather."
Cao Ang: "..."
He pointed at Baby Cao Song with a trembling finger, and gasped: "Mother can even resurrect grandfather! Could it be that father is afraid that grandfather will die like grandmother, so he deliberately pissed off grandfather so that mother can resurrect him?"
That's right, Cao Ang still doesn't know that Diao Chan and Cao Cao are the same person.
Cao Cao sighed: "Actually, Diao Chan..."
Cao Song grabbed his finger, opened his deciduous teeth and bit him viciously.
Cao Cao froze, feeling the threat from his own father, he didn't dare to continue talking.
Cao Song's eyes were dangerous, and he grinned.
He could even imagine the words he scolded him from the look in his eyes.
Rebel!
Cao Ang was puzzled: "What?"
"No, it's nothing, Diao Chan has already gone back."
Cao Ang suddenly realized, and in turn comforted Cao Cao: "The child knows that the mother has a special status and cannot go down to the mortal world at will. The father does not need to worry, and the child understands."
No need to bite the bullet and explain, Cao Ang's thoughtfulness made Cao Cao's eyes fill with tears, and he praised him: "Good boy."
Cao Ang wondered: "It's just that my second uncle didn't know about my grandfather's salvation. After hearing what my servant said, I thought you killed my father. Now I'm afraid I feel resentful."
Cao Cao was surprised and said: "There is such a thing, so the misunderstanding is here."
"How does father plan to explain to second uncle?"
"Take Xiao Shi to show your second uncle," Cao Cao said earnestly, "Unification of the world is just around the corner, and I am no longer invincible. I don't have to be afraid of people spying on my house. This secret is no longer a secret that will threaten the lives of my family. .Your second uncle is still our family after all, so we don't have to hide this from our family in the future."
Without the old lady in the family, Lu Lingqi couldn't let Lu Lingqi take over the raising of Cao Song. It would be more appropriate to hand Cao Song over to Cao De and his wife.
Regardless of how chaotic Cao De was when he took over Cao Song, at least Cao Cao himself was much more relaxed after solving a problem in his heart, and finally he was able to make big moves to clean up the court.
He sent Yuan Xi to Yuan Shaoyuan, and another "touching" show was staged.
Yuan Xi knelt in front of Yuan Shao and wept bitterly, telling that he was guilty, that he and Yuan Shang persecuted Yuan Tan, and watched Yuan Shang order Yuan Tan to be killed. The foundation is ruined!
After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he began to complain to Yuan Shao.
Then Yuan Shang is not human!
He killed his half-brother, even his first brother!
Yuan Xi said sadly: "My child will never forget that scene for the rest of my life. It was at that time that Yuan Shang stabbed the knife into my abdomen. I was paralyzed in the hall, feeling the passing of life, and almost lost sight of my father! "
If Cao Jun hadn't rescued him, even if he didn't bleed to death, he would have died in the cold palace.
Yuan Shao listened to him with a gloomy face, covered his face, and suddenly laughed.
From the beginning of chuckling, to the distorted laugh afterwards, the whole room was full of his crazy laughter.
"Good! Good! Good! What a Cao Mengde!"
No wonder, no wonder he didn't attack the north for so long. It turned out that he had already predicted that his rear would be unstable, and that his three sons were ambitious and stupid.
Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "My son is worthless, it's my father who didn't teach well! In this match, I won't be wronged, I won't be wronged, hahahaha!"
He sneered and pointed at Yuan Xi's nose: "Kneel outside for me, I don't want to see you now!"
Yuan Shao said coldly: "I only have three sons, and I can ruin the foundation of the north by making trouble, but Cao Cao has eight sons."
Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "It may be more than that. As far as I know, Cao Cao already has a ninth son."
"Is it still not chaotic?" Yuan Shao was not optimistic about Cao Cao, and he took the lead in singing bad words: "I want to see what kind of drama Cao Cao's son will perform for the position of heir in the future!"
As he said that, he pointed Yuan Xi out and said sharply: "Get out of here!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became!
On the other hand, Cao Cao made a quick move. First, he issued a decree, announcing the news that Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou had quelled the rebellion. The generals of the surrendered army conferred official positions.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty has gradually transformed from a young man to a young man. He is like the most beautiful vase, sitting on the top and listening to Cao Cao's advice without saying a word.
Empress Fu's weeping sound came from Liu Xie's ear: Your Majesty, on the day Cao Bandits rule the world, will we still need you, the emperor and the empress?At that time, the whole world will be the people of Cao Thief, and you and I will be forever lost!
The author has something to say: Cao Cao: Anyway, I am not human inside and out, Buddha

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
☆、Countdown to the end 3
Since Cao Cao pacified the north, the situation in the whole world has changed.
Previously in a wait-and-see state, scribes who lived in seclusion in the mountains came out of the mountains one after another, and gathered with their families under the relatively peaceful Cao Cao.The children of the northern clan joined forces again, and the people gathered by Cao Cao's subordinates showed that the Fujing clan broke out.
With the expansion of the scope under the rule, more infrastructure needs to be put into effect, and a large number of officials are needed, Cao Cao made the decision to re-open the Enke and add another imperial examination.
The literati in the north were dumbfounded. They thought that Cao Cao would promote them because of the family behind them and their prestige, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even get an official position and had to take the exam!
Scholars gathered and loudly reprimanded Cao Cao's imperial examination system for violating the ancestral system, which was an unprecedented and shocking move.There are so many denunciators that they can gather to form an army!
The increase in the number of people gave the scholars confidence, allowing them to gather every three days, scold Cao Cao together, form cliques to express their indignation, seek sympathy, and negotiate a block against the imperial examination system.
There are a lot of people gathered, and there are many famous people among them.
Cao Hong pointed at those people, smiling sarcasticly: "Ah, now you know why I implemented the party ban in the first place, don't you? Those people, are they really for the sake of the country, or for their own interests? The literati's lips are really annoying, yes no?"
Cao Hong often travels between Wei Wangfu and Shangshufu. As Shangshu Xunyu's assistant, he has been in contact with various government affairs. Everyone knows that he is Cao Cao's son who was raised as his heir, and they respect him very much.
Cao Cao didn't shy away from raising government affairs in front of Cao Hong, and others didn't shy away from it.
No one knew that after Cao Hong was able to freely enter and leave the Wei Palace, he either came to order Cao Cao to teach Cao Chong how to practice martial arts all day long, or tricked him into killing people.
"Those literati who obstructed the imperial examination system have gathered a climate, and can form a rebel army that threatens peace at any time. At this time, killing chickens and monkeys can kill the elite of the enemy! There are so many people in the world, and there is no need to care about one or two dead celebrities. , many people want to follow you to build a country. Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish, it’s that simple.”
Cao Hong's political ideas are rough and capricious, and he never thought of solving the problem in a tactful way.
Cao Cao disagreed and said, "What big things can a group of literati do? I have millions of soldiers in my hands, and I am also a general who holds real power. How can I be afraid of the gathering of those powerless people? The literati will only Just move your lips."
"You are really generous, let people scold you behind your back, is this a big-hearted person, or is it cowardly?" Cao Hong sneered.
"Ah Hong, we have a lot of time to manage the world well. People like you will leave future troubles. In comparison, the roundabout method will take longer, but it can achieve the goal of minimal casualties and sustainable development in a stable manner. .”
Cao Cao in turn taught Cao Hong how to deal with it. He was helpless: "If you have more patience, with your talent, you will definitely be able to take over my position and manage the Han Dynasty well."
"I don't have that much patience with others' hypocrisy," Cao Hong snorted coldly, threw the official document on Cao Cao's desk, and said angrily: "Let's see how many people have made small moves in the government recently. Those who oppose you now, the rumors They are almost higher than the army and come back victorious.”
"There are many clans coming from the north. This is inevitable. After I take over the south, there will be more noble families there. Conflicts will always exist. Any change will cause the pain of old and new conflicts. Just get over it. I am not money. , Of course, not everyone loves me," Cao Cao said, full of philosophical words, a bit like an old man who sees through the world of mortals.
He said faintly: "Ah Hong, you are still too young."
Cao Hong smiled, threw the manuscript paper to Cao Cao's face, and said bitterly: "Hurry up and clean up all the people around Liu Xie, and wait for them to support the emperor to fight against you? Restoring the former three princes and nine ministers? Think It's quite beautiful."
Cao Cao was dawdling in what he was doing, and showed a meaningful Buddha-like smile. He answered Cao Hong perfunctorily: "No hurry, no hurry, things need to be done little by little, and the road needs to be taken step by step."
Cao Hong obviously felt that his mind was not here, and stared at Cao Cao for a long time, until he felt a thorny feeling on his back and raised his head, then said expressionlessly: "Since you are not in a hurry, it is better to hand this matter over to you." Do it for me."
Cao Cao was very surprised: "It's rare to see you take the initiative to do the work."
In the past, Cao Hong's attitude was like a lazy donkey, who would not smoke or leave, but now he took the initiative, which is really strange.
"Don't really kill all the scholars. I still need those people to come to the bottom of my imperial examination! Some people come to apply for the exam, and some stand out to show how ridiculous they are. The imperial examination system is the correct system, and time will tell. I was right, they will submit to me, or they will decline, it’s as simple as that. If you kill them now, it will be no different from the party prison you set up at the beginning. I don’t want the world to enter the cycle of troubled times again in the future,” Cao Cao Seriously, earnestly brainwashing Cao Hong.
At the beginning, Cao Hong insisted on going his own way, but he could not persuade him. Now Cao Cao is sitting in the position of the lord. Cao Hong changed his identity, and things suddenly changed.
I saw Cao Hong waved his hand: "Understood, I won't kill people casually. The more I live, the more I chatter, the more I become a mother-in-law, and I don't have the drive of a young man."
Although he said he disliked it, since Cao Hong had promised, he would not really kill people indiscriminately.
Cao Cao wasn't afraid that Cao Hong would really mess it up, so he said, "Wen Ruo's birthday is about to come, and as a disciple, you can send a heartfelt gift."
Cao Hong: "..."
He glanced at Cao Cao coldly: "Understood."
The young man slammed the door angrily and left, startling a group of officials waiting outside King Wei's study. They whispered, "What's wrong with the second son? Are you having trouble with the lord?"
"Can we still go in and find the lord? Even the lord is in a bad mood."
Xun You listened to the whispers of the crowd, and went to see Cao Cao with the official document first.
Inside the house, Cao Cao was fine, but he was in a good mood. Xun You understood, and he had a better understanding of how much the second son was favored by the lord.
This is all angry and slammed the door, the lord is not angry at all, obviously conniving, to be so conniving, it must be a very good relationship.
"My lord, the list of rewards and punishments for each army has been compiled. The military salary required this time is [-]% higher than in previous years due to rewards."
"It's okay, just pass it up and allocate funds as usual," Cao Cao replied lightly.
He fell into a daze again, with the back of his hand propping his cheek, and a subtle smile appeared on his face from time to time.
"What's the happy event, my lord?"
Cao Cao laughed: "A happy event, it can be considered a happy event! I have so much money now that I can't run out."
He told about the troubles of getting rich.
"After robbing Yuan Shao, the wealth accumulated by our army is as high as a mountain. Now that the Zhen family is so knowledgeable, my wealth is even more. There are also wealthy businessmen such as the Mi family who gather to pay taxes. The money is not as good as it is. It's better to spend it if it's rusty!"
So Cao Cao was worrying about how to spend the money!
"Roads need to be built, roads need to be built, and roads can be smooth, so that people can get rich. Schools need to be built, houses need to be repaired, ah, there are also fields, canal digging, drought and disaster prevention, and cotton promotion," Cao Cao planned to spend money, saying every day A project is a bottomless pit.
"It seems that the money can't be completely spent. It's better to set up a special research institute in the Ministry of Industry. Whether it's improving people's livelihood or improving weapons, it needs investment. It's better to set up a school for raising orphans. The saint said Isn’t it just that the old people have something to rely on and the young ones have something to support? Since the money is too much to spend, then set up a place to support the elderly who lost their children in the war.”
Xun You secretly sweated after hearing Cao Cao's talk about spending money and spending money.
That's right, their lord is now exuding a golden tyrant's light all over his body, and he has so much money that he can't run out, and now his whole mind is on how to spend the money, and he feels happy every day.Those scholars who scolded the lord were like stones on the side of the road, they didn't attract his attention at all.
"How is Jiangdong?" Cao Cao asked again, "Has Sun Ce escaped recently?"
Xun You reported: "Recently, many people have contacted Sun Ce, wanting to help him escape, but they were all caught by the guards. It's just that this is not the way to go. Instead, there is a message from Jia Junshi in Jiangdong, please give the order The imperial court ordered Sun Quan to be recruited to Xuchang."
Sun Quan has become the veritable Lord of Jiangdong, but Jia Xu was able to spread such news in Jiangdong and not let it go. The progress of recruiting security is gratifying.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and promulgated the edict to recruit Sun Quan to Xuchang, and ordered the envoy to send it to Jiangdong as quickly as possible. We must unite with the little overlord."
In case Sun Ce fled back to Jiangdong, Sun Quan, who had already secured his position as the lord of Jiangdong, fell into Cao Cao's hands again, that would be a real joy.
Xun You was surprised and said, "My lord, why don't you imprison the two brothers of the Sun family? Isn't it better to catch them all at once than to let one of them go?"
"The only thing we need is that they look like enemies but not enemies, and they seem to be seeking refuge but not seeking refuge." Cao Cao laughed.
When Xun Youlue thought about Cao Cao's intentions, he was horrified.
The lord's scheming is shameful. As long as Jiangdong does not fall into Cao Cao's hands for a day, the internal opposition forces that are ready to move will jump down. We are not afraid of them being active, but we are afraid that they will restrain themselves and dare not act rashly.
My lord is planning to put a long line to catch big fish, and wipe out the opposition forces!
Just as Xun Yougang felt in his heart that the lord is determined to forge ahead, decisive in killing and attacking, and his mental strategy is beyond human ability, he turned his head and heard Cao Cao whispering: "Wen Ruo is going to celebrate his birthday, what should I give this time? I am happy, but he has already grown up early, so I should give him a good product for nourishing the kidney, shall we?"
Xun You: "..."
The feeling that surged up in my heart at that moment was extremely sour!
Why did Jiangdong agree to Cao Cao's recruitment, and why did Sun Quan give up resistance and leave for Xuchang?
All of this started with Cao Cao's unification of the north. Since he became the veritable master of the eight states, everyone in Jiangdong has started a heated discussion about Cao Cao's future southward travel.
Zhou Yu set off in command, and according to Sun Quan's instructions, he and Liu Biao of Jingzhou put aside their previous suspicions and sought the possibility of alliance.
A slap can't be made, Jiang Dong wants to unite, but Liu Biao is still unwilling!
Zhou Yu moved with reason, but he didn't think that Liu Biao's subordinates were full of civil servants, each of whom could be a useful think tank!
When he was distraught, Liu Biao died of illness. Before he died, he passed the throne to his second son Liu Cong. The eldest son Liu Qi, who was supposed to inherit his position, became an abandoned son and was persecuted by his second wife Cai. Fortunately, Zhou Yu rescued him and fled all the way to Wu The county survived.
Jingzhou has already fallen into the hands of the Cai family, and the newly succeeded Liu Cong also wrote a letter to the court to appoint an official, which is a sign of dog-leg attachment.
Zhou Yu was so angry that he said "there are no heroes in the world to be an alliance", and went back to report to Sun Quan.
Everyone in Jiangdong discussed, come on, surrender!If you don't vote, you can only be beaten and harvested leeks. It's better to vote for more benefits!
Now that Sun Quan has accepted the transfer to Xuchang, he may be able to catch up with the grandest Xuchang imperial examination.
Sun Quan packed up his belongings, took half of the hostages, half of the guide Jia Xu, followed by the civil servant Zhang Zhao, and the military general Zhou Yu led the army to escort him, and set foot on the big ship going north.
Ever since she knew she could return to Xuchang, Jia Xu always had a bright smile on her face.He was not idle when he arrived in Jiangdong. Even though Sun Quan sent people to monitor him, Jia Xu still relied on his heaven-defying wisdom to recruit a younger brother who was willing to follow him.
No, the Lu family of the Jiangdong clan boarded Jia Xu's pirate ship, and sent Lu Xun, who supported the Lu family's facade, to study by his side.
"Sir, it is said that Mr. Cao is good at appointing people, and he doesn't care about his background and morals. Therefore, he appointed some officials who are talented but have bad conduct. Is this true?"
"Huh? Is this how Jiangdong preaches about the lord?" Jia Xu laughed and said, "The so-called character, how do you judge it? A person's reputation? Or family status?"
Seeing that the young man was silent, he said slowly: "A prominent family may also produce dudes, and a poor family may also produce young people who are enterprising and have the world in mind. It is true that the lord does not care about reputation, but under the imperial examination system In officialdom, promotion depends on performance."
"The imperial examination system?"
"Don't you want to revive the Lu family business? Don't you think about taking the exam?" Jia Xu laughed: "It's different now, the method of recommending to the lord is useless. Lu Lang is a great talent, why not take the imperial examination?" Spraying ink on the examination field to achieve a career?"
When everyone heard Jia Xu talk about his hero who is wise, brave and courageous, they only thought he was bragging. When they arrived in Yuzhou in the north, they felt that thousands of students were flocking to them. In terms of policy, let us know that under Cao Cao's rule, it has become such a prosperous scene!
Zhang Zhaodao: "The imperial examination system is an unheard of system. It breaks the old rules of the predecessors, and recruits scholars from all over the world to be his disciples. Cao Cao's ambition is not just to be the regent."
Zhou Yu said coldly: "Today everyone knows the king of Wei, Cao Cao, but no one knows the emperor. The fall of the Han Dynasty was overthrown by Cao Cao. Changing the emperor and the year is just a fig leaf."
Sun Quan shook his head: "The power of the world is irreversible. No one can deal with Cao Jun's sharpness. If we retreat to the east of the river, we can unite with our friendly troops in the south of the river. Maybe we can resist one or two and prevent Cao Cao from unifying the world."
But now, Jingzhou is on its knees, the terrain of Bashu is complicated, people outside can't get in, the army inside can't get out, Liangzhou is still in civil strife, everyone can count on it.
The scholars in Jingzhou have lived in a comfortable environment for too long, and they have lost their eyesight to the world.
Zhou Yu was also helpless, relying only on Jiangdong's forces, against Cao Cao, he would hit a stone with an egg.
He just said earlier that "there are no heroes in the world", but when he arrived in Xuchang, he could only see heroes everywhere, and you could meet a famous person if you just fished in an inn or restaurant.
The inns in Xuchang City are also very expensive, and every inch of land is expensive. When they arrived, there were no vacant rooms.
Jia Xu smiled and took out her official seal, and led everyone to live in a nearby post station.
This post station is set up for officials and Tai students to rest. It is relatively close to the gate of Xuchang city. It can be crossed inside and outside Xuchang city in one day. The conference room and the scenery in the courtyard are also good.
When they moved into the station, they saw more than a dozen literati wearing clothes of the same color and style surrounded the station. Jia Xu pointed it out to everyone in Jiangdong: "They are Tai students. They may live here because they will go out of the city to practice later. Taixue pays attention to practical activities, and every grade has their specific tasks, and the professors are all people who are good at practical affairs."
The students were about 17 years old, each young and full of vigor, with the childishness of students on their faces, and the precocious ones already had the elegant demeanor of celebrities.Sun Quan took a few glances, only to feel that every student is not simple.
The students do not shy away from talking about current affairs, which is related to the enlightened atmosphere in the Taixue. Just from the words they talked about, we can know how much energy and manpower Cao Cao spent in cultivating such a group of future fresh blood .
Zhou Yu pricked up his ears to listen to a few words, and was shocked by the free style of study in Xuchang City.The governance style of those in power can be reflected in the cultural landscape under their rule.
There was a feeling lingering in Zhou Yu's heart, and he glanced over inadvertently, and saw one of the students who was having a heated debate with his classmates raised his eyes and looked at him, and that light glance made him feel turbulent , A premonition of unclear reason arises.
"Zhuge Liang, I think you are making too much sense. You are wrong. If you follow your argument, there is no weakness in the gossip formation. Everything in the world has weaknesses. You speak too absolutely because you have too little knowledge. !"
Hearing the fierce debate of his classmates, the student turned his head and glared at him, and said sharply, "Sima Zhongda, if you have more knowledge, you will find a way to break my gossip formation. It's not that I have little knowledge, it's because you are too weak." .”
The high-spirited young men started fighting in no time. These two gentle and elegant young men who were obviously very elegant in front of others, as long as they got together, they would definitely be in flames.
The other students are familiar with this posture, so let them fight.
Jia Xu smiled and asked them, "Aren't you going to persuade them?"
"No need to persuade them, they will get together to drink after each fight." Another student replied: "You can't persuade them to fight at this time, or they will run away on their behalf and get involved in their fights."
"We're just mortals, and we don't want to get involved in fighting with gods."
"Hey, look, there is a fool trying to persuade the fight!"
That idiot was Zhou Yu who was curious about the students of Xuchang Taixue.
Zhuge Liang is quick in thinking and sharp in speech, and he never repeats the language that he turns over and over again. He stands on an argument, which is a quotation that can turn out flowers to prove that he is right.
Sima Yi's thinking is erratic, cunning and fickle, and he is best at grasping the loopholes in a person's words to criticize. If he wants to express his own point of view, he will definitely step on other people's points of view before giving up.
Once these two quarrel, there may not be a result for seven days and seven nights. If anyone squeezes in between them, his thoughts will be led away by the two parties, and he will be dragged to one side and then to the other. , the two strands of thinking, one left and one right, are in a tug-of-war shape, and it is conceivable how many people are squeezed in the middle.
Zhou Yu was six years older than them, and he was already a young and talented star. Even if he was around him, he could not withstand the wrestling of two high school students.
It was Sun Quan who saved the man by speaking out, preventing him from being squeezed and bombarded by two students.
Zhou Yu was dragged back with lingering fear, and said something from the bottom of his heart to Sun Quan: "It's not that there are no heroes in the world, but they have all gone to Cao Cao's place in Xuchang."
When they arrived, the imperial examination had already reached the "provincial examination" conducted by Shangshu Province, and the entire Xuchang had gathered the best talents from all counties and prefectures.
Compared with the gold mines everywhere in Xuchang city, compared with Jiangdong, which has few important ministers, and Jingzhou, where no one is available, one has to feel the "richness" of Cao Cao's talents.
Rao Zhou Yu, who has seen through Cao Cao's "ambition", has to admit that the imperial examination system can abandon clan interests and recruit talents from more places for the court to the greatest extent.Being able to come up with such a system and break through public opinion to implement it, Cao Cao has become a god-man admired by scholars all over the world.
Cao Cao expressed a warm welcome to Sun Quan's coming to Xuchang as a Beijing official. Before the Jiangdong people took over the dust, he released Sun Ce, who had gained a lot of weight, to reunite with them.
Sun Ce, who had already contacted the master to help him escape, saw his younger brother coming to Xuchang, pointed at them tremblingly for a moment, rolled his eyes angrily, and died on the spot.
What is he running so hard for?What is it for? !
After being captured by Cao Cao for so long, Sun Ce didn't look haggard, but became more mellow because of the good food.
Seeing that Sun Ce almost didn't recognize him, Zhou Yu's eyes made Sun Ce even more sad and indignant.
Although he exercised every day, Cao Cao was very bad. He was locked in a small place, he could not run, and his weapons were confiscated, so he could only punch.With so many ingredients being delivered every day, can you not gain weight by eating less?
