Chapter 195: Military Power
Cao Xin made a special trip this time to make his position clear to Li Ze. If before, he was still hesitating and waiting and seeing, but after Li Ze won the war against Zhu Bin and burned Texas, he made up his mind.
Wang Mingren is dead, there is no successor of the Cao and Wang clans, and it will take time to re-cultivate Wang Mingyi, which requires him to charge and fight on the front line, and use his own ability to support the Cao and Wang clans for a few more years, until Wang Mingyi has the ability to pick up the burden of continuing the glory of the two families.
And Li Ze is undoubtedly a good refuge partner for whom he is ready to fight again.
Now Li Ze has just started and has a little bit of strength, but among the forces in the whole world, he is undoubtedly still very weak.
No matter what time it is, it will always be more memorable than the icing on the cake.
And that's what Cao Xin needs.
Even if he died halfway on the road of Li Ze's struggle and couldn't go all the way to the end, Li Ze would remember that at the beginning of his career, it was his full support that allowed him to embark on the final bright road, then, even if Wang Mingyi couldn't help him in the end, he couldn't make it a weapon, but he could still let the Cao and Wang families keep their wealth.
As a parent, you naturally have to plan for your children and grandchildren.
Now Cao Xin can be regarded as working hard for his children and grandchildren.
The so-called letting Li Ze serve as the commander of Yizhou is actually to justifiably hand over the military power of Yizhou to Li Ze.
Cao Xin's posture did not make Li Ze expect that he could think that Cao Xin would support him, but he never expected that Cao Xin would support him so unreservedly, and even handed over his net worth and life to Li Ze. If Li Ze fails, then the Cao and Wang families will naturally be wiped out.
Cao Trust used his net worth to die, and Li Ze was moved, so he unreservedly showed his vision of the future in front of Cao Xin that he had never said to anyone.
First go down to the sea, then try to become virtuous, and finally destroy Lu Long, after doing these three points, the entire north has almost fallen into the hands of Li Ze, and in this process, it is Hedong, you can also make a plan, after all, Gao Yu is already old.
"I'm going to let Wang Mingyi serve as the governor of Yizhou and train with me in Yizhou." After explaining the above things, Cao Xin felt that the whole person was relaxed. And my unsuccessful son Cao Zhang, I will hand it over to Gongzi and let Gongzi practice and practice him."
Faced with this request, Li Ze could not refuse.
"Brother Cao Shi is already so old, if you want to change, I'm afraid it's very difficult." Li Ze said a little helplessly.
"It's okay, let's try it, since you can make people like Yang Kai reborn, and can make people like Shen Congxing, Chen Bing, and Chu Sheng become generals who can lead troops to fight, then my son is here with you, or maybe he can really change." Cao Xin smiled. There's no hope anyway, so there's nothing to disappoint."
Hearing Cao Xin mention Yang Kai, Li Ze's eyes lit up.
"Gong Cao, speaking of Yang Kai, I do have an idea, Yang Kai is now in charge of the daily affairs of the Yixing Society, and some of the stalls he manages are really suitable for people like Brother Cao Shi, who are good at reading and reading, worrying about the worries of the world first, and enjoying the joys of the world after the world."
Cao Xin laughed, waved his hand and said, "How to arrange him, you can do it, you don't need to ask my opinion. Childe, that's all I have to say, I don't know what Childe has to command?"
"I don't dare to give orders, but since Cao Gong has handed over the entire military power of Yizhou to me, I will take it seriously, and next, I need all the cavalry in Yizhou." LI Zedao.
"Childe is going to make a move?" As soon as Cao Xin heard it, he knew that Li Ze should have a military operation, "To Henghai?"
Li Ze nodded: "Yes, it's about Liu Chenglin. Henghai Zhu Shou can probably also think that after the autumn, we Chengde may use troops against them, so before that, he must do his best to solve Liu Chenglin, otherwise, when it comes to the autumn, he will be attacked on both sides."
"That's right." Cao Xin nodded and said: "If it were me, I would have to do the same, Henghai can't reach Yizhou now, he can't afford hundreds of miles of logistical supplies, but when he hits Jingzhou, he doesn't have this concern. Even though Liu Chenglin is a fierce general, his soldiers and horses are also good at fighting, but he also has obvious weaknesses. A large part of the soldiers under his subordinates who are really good at fighting are Cangzhou people, which in itself can be used. Second, he has just taken Jingzhou, whether the local level can quickly return to the center, whether he can quickly gather troops, this is a problem. Third, Liu Chenglin betrayed Henghai and defected to Chengde, Lu Long may not be happy to see this situation, Chengde is a thorn that Lu Long must pull out when he occupies the north, second only to Hedong. Where are they willing to let Chengde's strength rise again? Childe, no matter what you think in your heart, in Lu Long, in the hearts of everyone in the world, you are an out-and-out Chengde family."
"I have to keep Liu Chenglin. Shi Yi from Yingzhou, I hope that when the time comes, Chengde soldiers and horses will give him some threats, so that he will not dare to act rashly." Li Zedao: "Can Gong Cao think of some ways to do this?"
Cao Xin shook his head: "It's difficult. It is very easy to convince Jiedu, because from the perspective of the overall situation, this is what Chengde must do, but when it comes to the specific below, it will be difficult, Childe, if you want to contain Yingzhou, only by using Shenzhou soldiers and horses can it be feasible. But Suning, would he do this kind of thing that obviously helps his son? He doesn't mess around, thank goodness for that. I mean, I don't want to fight Chengde's idea at all, I really want to talk about it, I'm afraid that Suning will leak the fact that we are going to send out cavalry, so that Zhu Shou can prepare early, but it will not be beautiful."
Li Ze shook his head: "What Gong Cao reminded is that Suning has really done such a thing, and it seems that we can only rely on ourselves. Cao Gong, we can't get past the large-scale infantry, but the light cavalry can still get through. In the past few months, I have asked Li De to lead hundreds of cavalry to quietly establish some secret supply points in Texas, and next, I will increase this effort. Then when Zhu Shou attacks Liu Chenglin in Jingzhou, we can have a cavalry to support Liu Chenglin. If you can cooperate well with Liu Chenglin, let Henghai Zhu Shou suffer another defeat in Jingzhou, then Zhu Shou, who is connected to the big defeat, will not only lose the hearts of the people in Henghai, but also lose the morale of the army. If possible, I also hope that during the Chinese New Year this year, I will go fishing with Cao Gong!"
Cao Xin laughed, "It's no problem for Yizhou to put together a thousand cavalry now, I said the kind of cavalry that can fight when you come."
"That's enough!" Li Ze was overjoyed and said: "Now I can roughly put together a thousand cavalry here, two thousand cavalry, which is enough."
"Okay, after returning to Yizhou, I'll let them go to Wuyi to report to Gongzi." Cao Xin nodded.
"Thank you Gong Cao." Li Ze hugged his fists and thanked him.
"Thank you, don't forget, you are Yizhou, don't drive, these soldiers and horses are originally under your command!" Cao Xin said with a smile.
Li Ze smiled, that's what he said, but the officialdom pattern of Changshi being in charge, don't control the soldiers, and the assassin history is in charge of the overall situation, has long been broken now, if the assassin history of each state does not hold the military power in his hands, the position of the assassin history will probably not be able to sit still.
"There is another thing, I have been worrying about it, but since Cao Gong is here, then I will simply bother Cao Gong." Li Ze hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"I don't know what can make Childe so embarrassed? As long as Cao Xin can do something, he has the responsibility to do it!"
"I want to ask Cao Gong to go to Shiyi." Li Ze said a little embarrassedly: "I really can't think of a better candidate."
Cao Xin was stunned at first, and then laughed: "The son originally wanted me to be a matchmaker and pull this marriage line, which is a great thing, I don't have to say, Cao is really honored."
"This matter is the beginning of my mother, but it has developed to this point, as Cao Gong said, whether I have a relationship with that Liu Ruyan or not, whether it will be Qin Se and Ming in the future, it doesn't matter, this is no longer a marriage, but a politics. For this matter, Liu Chenglin also specially sent a confidant general to send me a letter that was half to express his attitude and half to threaten, which in itself explained the seriousness of the matter," Li Ze said helplessly.
Of course Cao Xin wouldn't care about the feelings and other things that Li Ze said in his mouth, saying that he and his wife only met for the first time on the day they got married, didn't they spend decades together, raised two sons, and lived happily for so many years? But it was Liu Chenglin who could bring a huge boost to Li Ze's career, which made him very happy.
"I heard Gongzi talk about his son for a while, but he didn't talk about the appearance of the willow girl, I guess the willow girl must be a flower and a moon!" Cao Xin said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Li Ze nodded: "I really didn't say anything about my appearance, I heard that his temperament is also fine."
"In this case, what else does the son have to hesitate about, he has a good appearance, and there is a good brother like Liu Chenglin, this can be described as a win-win good thing, so I ask Mrs. to prepare a thing that should be proposed, and I will go to Shiyi as soon as possible to make this matter a certainty."
"So, there is Lao Cao Gong!" Li Ze arched his hand gratefully. For this candidate who went to propose marriage, he was really sad, it was really not easy for Li Ze to find such a person, and Cao Xin's arrival made this matter easy to solve, I believe that Liu Chenglin, who is far away in Jingzhou, will also be satisfied with this candidate.
Mrs. Wang was naturally overjoyed, and all the etiquette and things needed to propose marriage had already been prepared, and Cao Xin went on the road the next day.
