Chapter 1,087: Inheriting or seizing the direct descendant
Therefore, the team that finally went to Shu was headed by Cai Zhaoji, assisted by Diao Chan, Zhen Luo, Ma Jun as the so-called "technical adviser", and a small group of elites from the Shenjian Battalion led by Ma Dai.
Such a team was formed by Yi Xiaotian after weighing the pros and cons of all parties, integrating everyone's strengths, and avoiding everyone's shortcomings through combination.
This is already the most reliable plan that the current staff of Youjian Villa can come up with.
Of course, having said that, before setting off for Shu, Yi Xiaotian still had to make complete preparations for them.
Just like the incomplete airbag that I brought with me when I went to Kodong. Although it was put on for more than half a year and was not used, it happened to play a huge role when I left Kodong on the last day.
Safety, safety, safety... If you look at Yi Xiaotian's list of plans, it is not difficult to find that what he focuses on are safety plans. After all, after a period of confusion, Yi Xiaotian is now more and more aware of
The importance of the people around you.
He didn't want to have to experience life and death with his cherished friends before the world was at peace.
If we were to talk about the opportunity, it might be that Zhou Yu's death was too sudden.
However, apart from these preparations before departure, when to make plans depends on the decision-making of another group of people.
After all... Jiangdong's plan is something that Yi Xiaotian and Mr. Hao have discussed.
In other words, it was precisely because he agreed to help him lay a lot of hidden clues in Jiangdong that Yi Xiaocai got the opportunity to do whatever he wanted in Jiangdong - even if he made some dangerous moves to satisfy his own personal interests,
I also made it clear that I can take it all together.
So... just as Yi Xiaotian was arranging the Youjian Villa and making intensive preparations for the two teams that were about to "camp out" to Jiangdong and Shu, in Ye City, Cao Cao seemed to have a headache.
——
Although he has already made bold words, everyone is very clear about Cao Cao's determination to win Jiangdong.
But Cao Cao's own troubles forced him to delay again and again.
However, the problems that Cao Cao actually faced were problems that almost every high-ranking person had to face throughout the ages.
If you don't handle it carefully, it may cause all your life's accumulation to be wasted.
——Inheritance, or more seriously, the signs of seizing the direct descendants have already begun to appear among Cao Cao's descendants.
In fact, if we look at past performance, Cao Ang, as the eldest son of Cao Cao, is almost certain to inherit Cao Cao's legacy even though he is a commoner. After all, over the years, Cao Ang has accomplished almost everything that an eldest son can do.
The current situation is that no matter who wants to compete for the power to succeed Cao Cao, they can't get around a man who, although not serving in the court, has a higher status than anyone else.
Yi Xiaotian——
Yes, from beginning to end, Yi Xiaotian never gave any clear information about which son of Cao Cao he supported. If he did... he could only have told Master Miao (Cao Cao) in private.
But since there is no public statement, it gives some people room to imagine.
——
Recently...Cao Pi has been very depressed.
In fact, he himself was quite comfortable. Ever since Cao Cao built the Tongque Tower and opened up a platform for northern scholars to dance, write, and speak freely, Cao Pi became one of the famous figures in Tongque Tower.
When it comes to leading troops in battle, he is not as good as Cao Ang, or even as good as Cao Zhang and others, but with Cao Pi's dull temperament, since he can't compete, he will not forcefully ruin the relationship between the brothers.
What really made him depressed was when someone said something to him.
——
Tongque Terrace, or in other words, Ye Santai, has been crowded with people these days.
Since the completion of Ye Santai, in this year, the Ye Wenhui hosted by Cao Pi has maintained a frequency of once a month, attracting a large number of scholars from the north and even the world to join.
People such as Wang Can, Ying Jue, Ruan Yu, Xu Qian and Chen Lin would drink, compose poems, play music and dance with the world's literati during the period of literary meetings.
The key point is that Cao Pi also did something very pleasing. Cai Yong, Cai Zhaoji's father, a man known as the world's greatest scholar, was actually invited by Cao Pi.
This incident shocked the entire literary world.
After all, for many people, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, many Chang'an literati were detained or even killed directly during the turmoil.
Cai Yong also disappeared after the turmoil.
At that time, this incident still made many people extremely uncomfortable, and many of the voices criticizing Dong Zhuo were seeking justice for Cai Yong.
And when they heard that Cai Yong was back, some of his students, or indirect students, who once lived in Jiangnan and Jiangdong, and those who respected him, really rushed to Yecheng like crazy.
It also contributed to Yecheng's reputation as the northern cultural center.
All of this is inseparable from Cao Pi.
Cao Cao seemed to have noticed Cao Pi's accomplishments in literature. Not only did he use his contribution to establishing the Wenhui to promote him to the rank of Langjiang, he also often took time out to support the Wenhui organized by Cao Pi.
Under this situation, Cao Pi was in the limelight for a while.
The main reason is that Cao Ang has not participated in any large-scale battles in recent years. It may be that Cao Cao was scared of the Wancheng battle. Even in some small battles, Cao Cao would always have Le Jin, Li Dian and Yu Jin on standby.
.
As this went on, rumors gradually spread that Cao Cao planned to re-establish his direct lineage. At this point, it seemed that many people around Cao Cao had wisely kept silent.
But...Similarly, some people have followed Cao Cao for decades, and after foreseeing that such a day would come, they began to make preparations.
——
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of this midsummer cultural gathering in late July and early August became particularly intriguing.
In the first two months, Cai Zhaoji actually represented Youjian Villa. After attending the cultural conference, Cai Yan's name became particularly loud.
A woman won the first place in a cultural gathering, which made many people become fans of Cai Zhaoji.
But...Cao Pi came to Ye Santai today just to tell everyone some disappointing news.
"Everyone... I'm really sorry. I've tried my best to invite Mr. Cai, but it's a pity that they have a villa and seem to have other things to do... Mr. Cai probably won't be able to come to this month's cultural gathering.
"
At the noon banquet, Cao Pi was obviously a little disappointed when he saw the many scholars who came to attend the cultural gathering just to see the true faces of Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji's father and daughter.
"That is to say, the rumor that Master Cai has been ill recently and is only recuperating in the village and cannot participate in this midsummer cultural gathering is true?"
Someone asked loudly, and Cao Pi showed a troubled expression.
Needless to say, silence actually means not denying it. In this way, a cultural gathering that should have been in high spirits suffered a series of blows before the opening. It was actually a bit disappointing for everyone.
