Compared to guys like Xun Yu and Chen Qun, Mao Jie is almost the most low-key boss under Cao Cao. Moreover, Mao Jie is as versatile as Li You. He can do everything from military training to government affairs, military strategy, command, and grand strategy.
He's not bad at all, he's almost an all-rounder.
The complicated situation in the Western Region really requires someone who can control the overall situation. He can not only control the overall situation, but also reassure Cao Cao, and can also stabilize the money, food and logistics. He has no sense of existence. When necessary, he can also
The one who can take over the baton, conduct battlefield planning, and launch a large army counterattack, well, I haven't mentioned Mao Jie.
Seeing that the others didn't say anything after Mao Jie opened his mouth, Cao Cao thought for a moment and then slowly nodded in approval of the proposal.
"We will transfer all the generals to Chang'an for assault training. If Liu Taiwei is willing to take action, then we will directly take away the troops and go to the Western Regions. If not, we will show the momentum of a big fight, at least we will
Calm people's hearts." Xun You suddenly said.
However, there was obviously not much expression on Xun You's face, but inexplicably everyone present felt Xun You's sarcastic smile.
Cao Cao thought for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded silently. This behavior was almost like deliberately causing trouble, but it was indeed a good idea.
"It's good to see the other party's courage and courage." Xun Yu also spoke to support his nephew.
This behavior can be regarded as an obvious test. If they gather troops for group training and Liu Bei can pretend they didn't see it, then the other party will really be beyond imagination.
But it doesn't matter whether it's beyond imagination or not. Anyway, it will depend on the situation at that time. I will just give you an explanation. If you can't fight, just gather up your troops and leave.
"If nothing else happens, it should be the Spring and Autumn Division mode by then, and the battlefield should be set in Nanyang. So let's gather our troops now so they can be mobilized when the time comes." Cheng Yu said with a cold smile.
"The big army is fighting. Indeed, since we are ready to survive next year, we will take advantage of the remaining time to train hard. The supply of food, grass and materials will be released! Our army has an emergency assault training." Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.
, he immediately made a decision and said.
Xun Yu and Chen Qun looked at each other hesitantly, but had no intention of dissuading Cao Cao.
[With Chen Zichuan’s ability, he probably doesn’t care about our little savings.] Xun Yu thought silently as he looked at the screen sideways.
[God knows if that guy did it on purpose or not. It is indeed a good idea to train troops. While there is still time, integrate the army. Then the army can better display its combat power.] Chen Qun couldn't help but think of Chen Zichuan in advance.
Ah, if he hadn't thought of this possibility, Chen Qun himself wouldn't have believed it. The name itself represents invincible power.
After Cao Cao's proposal was recognized by the top civil servants of the Cao family, Cao Cao was immediately ready to issue this order and finally conduct a round of training and selection.
However, just when Cao Cao was about to give the order, he inexplicably noticed Liu Ba's hesitant expression. He frowned and asked, "Zichu, do you have any doubts?"
"I recently calculated the bank's income and circulation, and I have a guess. Of course, this is just my opinion. I can't guarantee whether it is wrong." Liu Ba hesitated for a while and said, everyone here is considered his comrade-in-arms, there is nothing wrong with it.
What cannot be said.
"Say, you are all friends of Cao, and there is nothing that cannot be said." Cao Cao said grandly, and a smile appeared on the faces of the others.
"It's like this. Do you think Chen Hou is suppressing the family, or is he just trying to maintain long-term peace and order in the country without harming the family as much as possible." Liu Ba said with a solemn expression.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Chen Qun all showed a strange expression.
In fact, when Cao Cao reached his current height, he knew that suppressing the aristocratic family was the most correct choice. However, the aristocratic family was so strong that even Cao Cao's closest comrades were from the aristocratic family. Although Cheng Yu and Cao Cao could be compared,
They are like-minded, but Xun Yu surpasses Cheng Yu in terms of ability and importance. This is the reality.
Similarly, Xun Yu, who had reached this height, actually knew very well that he should choose to suppress the aristocratic family, but Xun Yu himself was born in an aristocratic family. He could not carry the aristocratic family to fight against the aristocratic family. He fought hard to reform.
The same situation applies to Chen Qun, so Liu Ba's question is a question that this group of people know very well but cannot answer.
Chen Xi's situation is actually exactly the same as Xun Yu's. He comes from a noble family and it is impossible for him to rebel against it.
There is only one answer to this question. It goes without saying that even Cao Cao knows it. This is why Cao Cao feels that the aristocratic family is too strong. The most troublesome person is also the son of the aristocratic family.
Thinking back, the top three civil servants on the list were all from wealthy families, and Zhou Yu's grandfather and uncle were all three nobles. Cao Cao felt inexplicably that it was difficult to suppress aristocratic families, and the prerequisite was to chop off his left and right hands.
"It seems that everyone thinks he is a reformist. Before I collected the bank's income and circulation, I also thought he was a reformist." Liu Ba held his forehead and said with a wry smile, "However, the share of the aristocratic family has actually become smaller. Although it is always
The volume is growing, but the share is slowly declining."
Everyone looked at Liu Ba in disbelief after hearing this.
"This is the fact. Chen Hou did not suppress the aristocratic family, and even generously provided a lot of benefits, but it was useless. The focus was on the people. The aristocratic family only received visible benefits, and the methods were very secretive." Liu Ba
He said with emotion, "The family's control over this country is constantly declining."
"It's still like this!" Cao Cao was shocked.
"Well, if I hadn't verified the ratio for four years, I wouldn't have believed it. Chen Hou is indeed a reformist, and he did not harm the interests of the family, but he did achieve the best of both worlds that has never existed before." Liu
Bapo said with admiration.
Chen Xi, who was making a cake in Yecheng, pointed at the flour and said, "Ah, put more egg whites, and don't need the egg yolks. Make it bigger. Why beat too many egg whites? Oh, then add more, the ratio is not right."
Ah, then when the time comes, cut a circle from the outside and let me eat it, it will look almost ready."
"There is really a way to get the best of both worlds. It is indeed beyond imagination." Xun Yu said slowly after a while. This kind of thing can actually be done. It is worthy of Chen Zichuan, who claims that one person can suppress an era.
"Don't let this news spread. This is good." Cao Cao said calmly, "Control the family." Unexpectedly, Chen Xi, who looked like he was holding the family high, was actually silently suppressing the family's influence on the Central Plains.
influence.
Xun Yu and Chen Qun both nodded. To the extent that they both knew what to do, they just couldn't do it due to their backgrounds. Now that Chen Xi had the best of both worlds, they wouldn't deliberately expose it and just sit back and watch.
How long can Chen Xi's tricks last?
Following Cao Cao's orders, the generals of Cao's army stationed in various places began to converge towards Chang'an with their respective legions, directly abandoning their original stations. During this process, Liu Bei received a large amount of relevant intelligence, and he also knew that at this time, he would be arrested.
If you seize the opportunity, you can easily invade Yongliang, but Liu Bei seems to have not seen anything.
In Chang'an, after a while, even Liu Tong received relevant information. She was a little confused about this situation, but she was not even interested in asking Cao Cao.
Although Liu Tong knew very well that if he asked, Cao Cao would definitely give an explanation, but Liu Tong had no interest in military affairs and was too lazy to care about what Cao Cao did.
Anyway, if the army is mobilized to Chang'an, it's not likely to cause trouble for me, so that's none of my business.
If you have time to waste on such meaningless things, why not take a look at the young master's inner treasury to see if there are any more interesting things, and then secretly take them away to save some money for the future.
Anyway, Liu Tong's position for himself is to do nothing but be a mascot, eat, drink and have fun, and his identity is the regent princess, the custodian of the flag of the Han Dynasty, to maintain the current unified situation, as for the rest, don't come to me.
.
"What..." Just when Liu Tong was lying on the wall of Weiyang Palace, wearing a white fox velvet robe and cloak, looking from afar in the early spring, he suddenly heard a roar from the south of the city.
"What is Ma Mengqi doing? He roared so loudly in the city of Chang'an. In the past, it must have been considered a disgrace to the emperor." Liu Tong asked in confusion while scanning the south of the city. Although he said so, but
Liu Tong had no idea of pursuing the other party.
"Maybe something happened." Si Niang turned sideways, leaned out half of her body from the parapet, and looked towards the Ma family's mansion in the south of the city. However, Si Niang didn't see anything in the large building, so
Silently he withdrew his gaze and spread his hands helplessly.
However, before Si Niang could speak, there was another loud whistle, and a purple stream of light was seen coming from the sky. Needless to say, this was Ma Chao's divine horse Li Feisha.
I saw Li Feisha rushing to the south of Chang'an City, and a certain house was suddenly exploded. A golden light mixed with lightning flew out with a booming sound, and then Ma Chao jumped onto Li Feisha and rushed directly towards the west.
The speed is really chasing the wind and lightning.
Liu Tong scratched his head, "Should I hide the clouds in Chang'an City all year round? That guy Ma Chao is a bit too much, flying like this in Chang'an City."
"Then do you want me to help you vent your anger?" Si Niang said with a smile. Different from the indifference of most immortals, Si Niang is not so much an immortal as a human being. So when Liu Tong said this, she immediately turned sideways.
He asked with a smile.
Speaking of which, Liu Tong sometimes wonders if Si Niang is an immortal. Although immortals also have entities, but how can I put it? Once Liu Tong touched Si Niang and found that the other person had a sense of touch...
