Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

On this day, Cao Cao held a secret letter from the Jing'an Division, which said that Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu, was about to move the land of Hanzhong in Dongchuan, and there were signs of army mobilization in the territory.

Hanzhong!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Longwangshu is obtained, and vice versa.Now that Liu Bei is proclaiming himself emperor in Yizhou, he naturally covets Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is located in the south of Guanzhong, across the Qinling Mountains from Guanzhong, which is the gateway to the land of Shu.

For Liu Bei, a child weaving mats and selling shoes, Cao Cao felt a little complicated. He thought that if he had been more decisive at the beginning, there would be no Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu today.

but……

Whenever he thinks of this matter, Ning Rong's figure is always swaying in front of his eyes. Although he has no doubts about Ning Rong's loyalty, Ning Rong has helped the other party over and over again.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao let out a long and solemn sigh.

"Zixiu, the number of times you go to your master's place has been much less recently!"

Leaning on the grand teacher's chair, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, and said to Cao Ang who was reading the official document.

"Return to father, the master said that the child's knowledge can be a teacher. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is up to the individual. How much you can learn next depends on the child's own understanding! And..."

Cao Ang glanced at Cao Cao hesitantly, and saw that he was still resting with his eyes closed, without any displeasure, so he continued.

"Furthermore, the master said that as the crown prince of the Great Wei, what my child needs to learn is the way of the emperor, and some miscellaneous learning may not be beneficial to the child..."

When Cao Ang was talking, he looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled expression, hoping to get an explanation from his father.

"Teacher? Heh...you are still far behind!" Cao Cao said after pondering for a while.

Ah!

Cao Ang also nodded in agreement. The master's knowledge is as deep as the sea and as admirable as a mountain. I have been with the master for more than ten years, but the more I study, the more I feel that my knowledge is too small.

"The Emperor's Learning..."

Cao Cao shook his head, a little relieved and a little bit bitter, as he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he finally tasted the taste of being alone.

Ning Rong said that Cao Ang should learn the learning of emperors, which is of course not wrong, after all, the emperor is in charge of all civil and military officials, and the hearts of all people in the world.

But Ning Rong said that he can't teach, obviously to avoid suspicion, after all he is just a minister, not a monarch, since he is not a monarch, if he is proficient in the study of emperors, he has evil intentions.

But for Ning Rong, Cao Cao still trusted him. He knew that since the other party dedicated Youzhou to him, except for Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan who were close to him, Ning Rong completely cut off contact with Youzhou. It is also the reason why I can quickly master Youzhou.

I remember that when he killed the fake Marquis of Northern Yan in Youzhou, he asked Ning Rong specifically. Ning Rong was able to use that person as a substitute when he left, so he was naturally a confidant. But he still asked for Ning Rong's opinion.

"Since it's unfaithful, it's useless to keep it, my lord, please kill it!"

Cao Cao naturally remembered Ning Rong's original words. He didn't know whether to praise the other party for his righteousness and severance of relatives, or to say that the other party was cold-blooded.

"Father~"

Looking at the dreamy Cao Cao, Cao Ang called softly.

"Oh... that's right, since ancient times, the kings, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth have been teachers for one day and fathers for life. Ning Zhiyuan is your mentor, and his knowledge is also taught to you. Even if you have already graduated from the teacher, it is the courtesy you should have. Can't be missing!"

Cao Cao straightened up, he was a little preoccupied, and ordered sternly.

"Your minister leads the order!" Cao Ang bowed to accept the order, with no expression on his face, but he felt a little wronged in his heart. He respected his master very much. Although he and his brother Lu Xun had been teachers for a long time, they often visited Ningfu , the master didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't let them go, for this reason, the master also sent the elder brother

Assigned to Liangzhou.

"What do you think about Liu Bei's affairs?" Cao Cao handed the secret report to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang glanced at ten lines at a time, and instantly understood the meaning. The content of this secret letter is not complicated, but the most complicated thing is actually Cao Cao's words.

What do you think?

What Cao Cao said is actually very vague. Is it a matter of dispatching troops to Liu Bei?Or is it about Liu Bei?

In fact, the difference between the two is huge, and ordinary people naturally cannot fathom what Cao Cao meant.

Simply, Cao Ang has also experienced these years, and learned a lot of inside stories, such as when the master let Liu Bei go, for example, Liu Bei was able to enter Yizhou...

After Cao Ang pondered for a moment, he knew that his father's suspicion had fallen again.

"Father, although Liu Bei continued the Han Dynasty in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty, he can only be called the Emperor of Shu, and he only ruled the land of Yizhou, half of Jingzhou!

But speaking of it, this Liu Bei is also a dignified person. If he hadn't killed Emperor Xian of the Han back then, how can the orthodoxy of this big Han be continued by his generation who weaves mats and sells shoes! "

There was contempt in Cao Ang's words, and an arrogance of a nobleman emerged spontaneously.

"Ha ha……"

Cao Cao smiled noncommittally, but secretly muttered in his heart.

Yes!

If Ning Rong hadn't used his hand to kill Emperor Xian of the Han back then, how could he stand on his own in the name of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to understand again, wasn't what Ning Rong did back then just for his own today.

"Oh...the price..."

Cao Cao couldn't help sighing with emotion, he didn't know whether the price was too high or too small.

"Father, my son heard that the master has not been idle in the past ten years. I don't know how he is about Yizhou..."

Cao Ang asked in a low voice with curiosity on his face, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the father has figured it out.

"Cough! This matter is the top secret of the state, don't talk too much, you go and call Jia Xu!"

Cao Cao interrupted Cao Ang with a wave of his hand, and gave him instructions.

……

Jia Xu is one of Cao Cao's four great military advisers, but he is so low-key that many people ignore him inadvertently.

However, Cao Cao knew that this person was well versed in the art of strategy, had a sharp vision, and had a good view of the overall situation. He could often kill people and end their way, so Ning Rong nicknamed him a poisonous warrior.

However, this time Cao Cao named him Marquis of Wuwei and promoted him to be a college student in the Hall of Wuying, with the right to be a counselor on state affairs.

Hall of Martial Arts and Wenyuan Pavilion are the two newly established institutions of the Great Wei Dynasty. The people here are all the pillars of the country, either outstanding in knowledge, or famous. Although they are not in charge of practical departments such as the three provinces and six ministries, their status and power But it's not bad at all.In addition, in order to control civil and military affairs and prevent military power and local government from falling into the hands of one person, Cao Cao made the most of Ning Rong's division of civil and military affairs, because he himself started from the shogunate, so he naturally understood the horror of state shepherds.

Chapter 64 This city is difficult to compete

Therefore, Cao Cao imitated the Privy Council system established by Ning Rong in Youzhou, and moved it directly to Xudu, and then re-divided the power of the Privy Council, for which he also gave a detailed explanation.

The Privy Council is in charge of the sixteen guards of the Wei Dynasty, and has the power to command the troops. There are twelve Caos in the courtyard, including the meritorious service cao, the carriage cao, the weapon cao, the horse post cao, etc. To put it bluntly, it is to weaken the power of the military department up.
