How do you talk about dying in battle? No matter how good Chen Xi's pension is, most of the time the pension received after death will definitely not be better for the family than when the person is alive!
Well, the reason why it is most of the time is mainly because there is a strange situation like the final battle that destroys Kushan. But even if it is actually issued by then, the pension and benefits are basically the same, on an emotional level
The shortcomings cannot be made up for.
Therefore, Cao Ang said that the most important thing next is to stabilize people's hearts. Cao Ren agrees, but there is still a considerable gap between what he knows and what he can do.
"Do you have any good suggestions? No need to worry about the gaffe, I will discuss it together later." Cao Ang said slowly while looking at everyone present.
"Where did the eldest brother go?" Xia Houyuan opened his eyes and looked at Cao Ang and asked. He was not asking as a minister, but as a relative. But in this scene, how should I put it?
Cao Ang has a good attitude, but if it were Cao Cao, he would be punished for being so pretentious.
"After my father handed Mianqi to me, he left with Gongtai. As for where he went, I don't know. Maybe he went boating in Yunmeng." Cao Ang said calmly.
What Cao Ang said was true. The real Cao Cao left with Chen Gong. He wanted to send someone to protect him, but Chen Gong told Cao Ang that any protection was useless and would only be exposed. Just leave it to him. Cao Cao did the same.
With such words, Cao Ang had no choice but to let nature take its course.
"What about assassination?" Xia Houyuan said with a gloomy look.
"After a few days, just release Gao Yi and others." Cao Ang seemed not to know that Xia Houyuan was asking about the future, and gave him an answer about the past events.
Gao Yi and Hua Ben are indeed top veterans, and Lu Zhao, who was finally positioned with the sunset arrow, is also the best among Xuzhou veterans, but in front of Dian Wei, without Huang Tao's level, he can't even run.
As a result, Dian Wei picked them up one by one when he turned around, gave them some muscle-relaxing medicine, and threw them into the prison. However, Cao Ang did not intend to clean up, and planned to throw these guys out in a few days.
Even if the two parties are not cleared, these people will not cause trouble to Cao Cao in a short time, and part of their grievances with Xuzhou have been eliminated.
"What I'm talking about is how to face the assassination of those guys in Xuzhou next!" Xia Houyuan seemed to have not understood Cao Ang's interruption and forced the topic back.
"Just can't find it." Cao Ang shook his head and said, this is the reason why Chen Gong took Cao Cao away. The only way in this world that Zhuge Liang can't find Cao Cao is in Chen Gong's hands.
As Chen Gong, who has seen the world barrier with his own eyes, is very clear about the nature of his isolation from Xuan Xiang, and the current situation is that as long as Cao Cao is still in this world, the veterans in Xuzhou will definitely be able to find Cao Cao, and even if they use some special technology to isolate him
With the Xuzhou veterans' lock on him, Zhuge Liang would definitely be able to find Cao Cao as long as he was willing to be ruthless.
Zhuge Liang does not have to end up himself, but if Zhuge Liang reports the coordinates, it is a completely reasonable situation, and as long as the coordinates are available, Xuzhou veterans will naturally come to find him.
So first create a bunch of fake bodies, and then build a closed world so that Zhuge Liang cannot determine Cao Cao's location, so that he can survive.
However, Chen Gong estimated that the time he could survive in this way was limited, and if he was unlucky, even if the world-level blockade was effective, Cao Cao would still be dead if he accidentally encountered a Xuzhou person.
As for guards, it doesn't mean much to Chen Gong. If there are more people, it will make the target too big. Without a strong man like Dian Wei, there are dozens or dozens of guards.
Facing the top elites from Xuzhou who have traveled thousands of miles to take revenge, it actually doesn't make much sense.
It's better to go on the road like this, at least the target will be much smaller. Of course, without guards, if you happen to meet the veterans from Xuzhou who came to take revenge, if you die on the spot, it can only be said to be bad luck.
"I have no problem." Xiahou Yuan sat back in his seat with a low voice. Although he didn't know what Cao Cao's situation was, Cao Ang's answer was at least reassuring.
Cao Ang looked at the civil and military bureaucrats on both sides and couldn't help but sigh. In addition to comparing Liu Bei, the civil and military bureaucrats under Cao's family can be called the most gorgeous group, but the actual combat effectiveness they can exert is the lowest among the major violent groups.
, especially after a major incident, people are distracted.
It's just that reputation is difficult to establish, but extremely easy to destroy. As for the difficulty of rebuilding it, just look at the Cao family now. It's the same difficulty.
"Let's continue organizing manpower for disaster relief first." Cao Ang saw that the morale of the warriors under his command was low. He couldn't help but sigh and ordered. Stop other things first and put disaster relief at the forefront. Things like rebuilding credibility can only be done slowly and slowly.
Come on, do what you can first.
After all the civil and military personnel left, Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh while sitting on the main seat. This position was not easy to sit in. Even though Cao Ang had temporarily filled in for a period of time when Cao Cao was absent, when his father really left,
Cao Ang sat in this position again, still feeling the pressure.
"I feel that many people have too much to say, but after seeing me, they stopped talking." Cao Ang sighed, sat on the main seat, opened the briefcase that Xun You had given him before, and took out a thick
It was a long document, but looking at the slightly discolored paper, Cao Ang knew that it was quite old.
This thing is not what Xun You said, it was brought by Xun Yu, but Xun You specially brought it from Xun Yu to answer Cao Ang's questions. Compared with Cao Cao, in Xun You's view, Cao Ang's temperament may be
It is more suitable for Xun Yu. His uncle has also been very restrained for many years.
Cao Ang picked up the pile of official documents and slowly read them, but when he looked at them, he saw the sky was dark.
"Ang'er, I heard someone said that you haven't eaten since the meeting in the morning and have been here all the time, so I made some porridge and came to see you. Even if you have something to worry about, you can't skip eating." Bian
The lady came here with a food box when it was dark. It was only in the afternoon that she heard someone said that Cao Ang had been shutting himself in the government office since the meeting. He didn't have enough water and rice. She was a little worried, so she brought some food to take a look.
look.
There is a saying that after the fall of Cao Cao, the identities of Madam Bian and Cao Ang changed the most. In the past, these things would never reach Madam Bian's ears. Now Madam Bian is a veritable old lady. If there is something wrong with Cao Ang as his son, someone will naturally know it.
He specifically told her that in the past, unless Cao Ang was about to be killed, such news would never reach Mrs. Bian.
"Ah?" Cao Ang reacted when he heard Mrs. Bian's words. Then he looked up and realized that it was already dark. He quickly stood up and saluted Mrs. Bian.
"It's already dark. I was obsessed with what Military Advisor Xun wrote. I didn't notice it, and it was already dark." Cao Ang quickly apologized. Although he didn't get enough water or rice for the day, Cao Ang was in very good spirits, even before.
The sorrow during the meeting dissipated a lot, because Xun Yu's file gave Cao Ang many answers.
More importantly, according to the above plan, it is only a matter of time to advance step by step and regain the confidence of the people under Cao's rule.
"I can see that you are in a much better mood than yesterday and this morning. There is no need to worry about your father. I have known Chen Gongtai for more than ten years, and he will not do anything wrong." Mrs. Bian thought that Cao Ang was worried about Cao Cao's safety, so she tried to persuade her, and then
I took out the porridge and rice from the food box on the side.
"I still have confidence in Uncle Chen." Cao Ang sighed, "I just saw the solutions to many things from Military Advisor Xun's official documents."
"Xun Wenruo." Mrs. Bian was silent for a while after hearing this. "Your father and Xun Wenruo seem to be like-minded, but as far as I'm concerned, your father and Xun Wenruo will fall out sooner or later. In fact, Xun Wenruo is even more talented than Chen Gongtai.
In other words, it’s just that I’m not suitable to perform under your father.”
"In the past, I had some doubts about this, but after reading this, I no longer doubt it." Cao Ang shook the stack of official documents in his hand, "Maybe Military Advisor Xun is really not suitable to be with my father.
It’s just about getting along. Many of the plans here are impossible to implement while my father is still in office.”
"It's not that it can't be implemented, it's that Xun Wenruo has always hoped to correct some of the flaws in your father's nature." Mrs. Bian had analyzed it from a third-party perspective earlier, so when she said this, she had an extremely calm attitude. "It's a pity.
, there are too many people around you who conform to your father's nature, no matter how much Xun Wenruo tries to persuade you, it will be useless, and it may even lay the groundwork for some disasters."
"Mother, won't you take back your spiritual talent?" Cao Ang asked with some confusion when he took over the job. There was a big reason why he was able to grasp the core ideas of the official document sent by Xun You so quickly.
They were all enhanced by Mrs. Bian's spiritual talent, so Cao Ang was a little strange as to why his mother didn't take the initiative to take it back.
"I don't have any use for it. You need this thing to run your forces and coordinate your subordinates. In your father's words, my future historical status depends on you." Mrs. Bian said with a calm expression. She took the
This mental talent is really useless.
"I will work hard." Cao Ang said in a low voice, without any intention of refusing. If he had felt that there was a gap between himself and the spiritual talent holder before, it would not be a huge difference, but his mother made him understand
After taking a look at the planning and thinking ability of spiritual talent owners, Cao Ang realized to some extent that even if the gap was not as big as clouds and mud, it was still too big to be calculated.
"As a woman, I don't know much about military affairs, but based on my experience at that time, most people refuse something because of insufficient interests. Things like faith and morality are very important, but most of them just use it as a basis.
It's just a reason." Mrs. Bian nakedly exposed the so-called morality of benevolence and righteousness. After all, as a prostitute, she had seen a lot of the warmth and coldness of the world and knew very well the shallowness of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Of course, Mrs. Bian also knows that the upper limit of benevolence, justice and morality is much higher than the so-called interests, but most of the time in this world, defeating the opponent does not rely on the upper limit, but on not being so bad.
"Mother, let me try my method first." Cao Ang said with a smile.
If Xinyi can be rebuilt and the existing values can be maintained, Cao Ang does not want to enter a society built on profit-seeking values, credibility and morality. At least everyone has a place, even the weak can find their place, but after entering
The value of profit-seeking is that everyone is equal before interests, but the absence of interests means that this person has lost his position in society.
If this is the case, it is really too sad.
"So I'm just a woman." Mrs. Bian didn't think that Cao Ang's disapproval of her suggestions was a sign of disobedience. She had a very good mentality. She could rely on her husband, her husband, and her son. Although her mental talent could
It is used for struggle, but it is used for husband and son to use, isn’t it better to rely on?
Marry into a good family, give birth to a good son, rely on your husband to become a queen, rely on your son to become a queen mother, what should I strive for? How much of my destiny is changed by my efforts?
It basically cannot be changed. As early as when she was eight or nine years old, Mrs. Bian realized that she could not change her destiny through her own efforts. She was born in a prostitute's family, so struggle. No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot change your destiny. There are some damn times where personal
Qualifications and struggles are meaningless most of the time. Your outcome is even determined when you are born.
Women such as Mrs. Bian and Zheng Ling, who relied on self-study to develop spiritual talents in their forties or fifties, had actually realized their origin, destiny, social structure, and the oppression of society on themselves when they were eight or nine years old.
After realizing this, they still studied hard, enriched themselves, and seized every opportunity to jump out of this quagmire. That was how people like Mrs. Bian and Zheng Ling came to be.
The question is, what happens after you jump out?
Keep fighting?
Most of them are not anymore, because their obsession back then was directly achieved with that leap. After all, under the constraints of this damn era, they can still escape, which basically means that at the moment of escape
, they directly realized their wishes.
As a prostitute, Mrs. Bian's goal is to marry a good family and escape from this damn environment. As for becoming the concubine of a prince, a princess of a prince, or the queen mother and so on, she just goes with the flow and jumps out of the prostitute. For Bian
As far as my wife is concerned, her big wish has come true.
Therefore, Mrs. Bian is very open-minded. If Cao Ang is willing to listen to his life experience, then listen. If he is not willing to listen, then don't listen. There is no need to restrain Cao Ang. After Cao Cao left Kandahar, the biggest danger to the Cao family has disappeared, and the remaining
No matter which step you take, for Mrs. Bian, it is a matter of winning more and losing less.
Therefore, it is best for Cao Ang to make his own choice, and he has given the help he can. The rest of the way is left to the descendants to walk on their own.
When Cao Ang heard what Mrs. Bian said, he laughed twice and wanted to explain. Mrs. Bian shook her head, "No need to explain. This is not to pressure you, but a fact. I don't want to get involved in these things. You can handle it best."
, if you can’t handle it, I actually can’t help you.”
"Your spiritual talent has brought me a lot of help." Cao Ang shook his head and said. Without Mrs. Bian's spiritual talent, it would have taken Cao Ang several years to figure out many things.
"I have no spiritual talent. This is your spiritual talent." Mrs. Bian shook her head and said. Cao Ang thought for a moment after hearing this and finally remembered the matter.
"Go to bed early after eating. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't imitate your father. Just be yourself." Mrs. Bian looked at Cao Ang after finishing the meal, put away the bowls and chopsticks, and warned before leaving.
After saying a few words, he quickly held an umbrella and left.
"Go and notify Mr. Mao to come over." After Mrs. Bian left, Cao Ang took a deep breath and greeted Xiahou Ba outside, rest, how could he rest? He now wanted to clean up the mess left by his father as quickly as possible.
Good, otherwise, this opportunity may really be missed.
Soon Mao Jie rushed over. After all, he was the first counselor to take the initiative to approach Cao Ang, and his abilities were quite excellent, so Cao Ang still needed to discuss certain matters with Mao Jie first.
As for Xun Yu, who wrote this official document that answered Cao Ang's doubts, if it were the previous Cao Ang, Xun You could have relied on his spiritual talent to make Cao Ang ignore some details, and then simply believed that Xun Yu really had a mental breakdown and needed to rest for a while.
But now that Cao Ang has the same level of planning ability, it is impossible to hide some things in person - Xun Yu is not optimistic about Cao Ang.
It is different from the situation where Xun Yu couldn't understand Cao Cao's nature but had to cooperate. Xun Yu's disdain for Cao Ang is the same as Cao Cao's disfavor for Cao Ang before. This is a lack of ability.
In other words, Xun Yu believed that Cao Ang could stabilize Cao Cao's power, but Xun Yu was not optimistic that Cao Ang could defeat Ardashir. If he could not defeat Ardashir, the Cao family would have no hope in the future.
If they can capture Herat, Kandahar, Kabul, penetrate the Khyber and enter the Indus Plain, then even if the Cao family cannot become a hegemon in the future, as long as future generations do not make mistakes, they will be able to seize the opportunity to become a hegemon sooner or later, because the general trend of the world will inevitably converge after a long period of separation.
The long-term alliance will inevitably separate. With the dangers of mountains and rivers and the large grain-producing land, the Cao family will be able to wait for the opportunity sooner or later.
But if we cannot capture Ardashir, there will be no Kabul, and if we cannot cross Kabul and enter the Khyber, there will be no Indus Plain.
Without these, the Cao family would be just a vassal king who was slightly stronger than the ordinary Central Asian princes.
There is no future for this.
Cao Ang understood this, and although he was not angry at all, he did not want to ask Xun Yu at this time. Whether he could do it or not was not something Xun Yu thought would be useful, it was a matter of doing it.
"Mr. Mao, with the support of Cao and other generals, how long will it take for you to organize manpower transfer to centurions and above in various ministries?" After Cao Ang saw Mao Jie, he directly stated his mission without any concealment, "I
Now we need to gather all the centurions. I will let Barak and others do this in Beigui, but we also need Mr. Mao to organize it."
Damn it, Damn it, I went to get my computer repaired today and I don’t understand it at all.
