Chapter 574. Someone above me!
Wang Hou is a little self-inflicted, most of the people surnamed Wang in the world are indeed from the Taiyuan Wang family, but this Wang Shuang is really not, he is a native of Longxi Didao, maybe there is still Qiang blood in his veins, Wang Hou's influence in the Taiyuan Wang family cannot affect him.
However, that doesn't mean there are no articles to do! There's no way to take him!
Born in Longxi! That's the biggest problem!
And Wang Hou just crossed the second day, the big blade pointed directly at his neck, and on the execution ground, he shouted at the top of his voice that there was someone above me! It was bragging!
But now, it's true!
After the Red Cliff War, Cao Cao's dream of dominating the world was shattered, and now what Cao Cao needs to do is to pave the way for his Cao family, you must know that the road to power is never going back! Just like Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty, this life is a scenery! Gu Ming minister, and also abolished an emperor, the Han Xuan Emperor he supported was still a famous benevolent monarch of the Han Dynasty, but he still killed his entire clan after Huo Guang's death!
There is also a famous example, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!
This Zhang is also conscientious, all his life to suppress the emperor and control the ministers, his reform saved the decline of the late Ming Dynasty to a certain extent, and the Wanli Emperor was even taught by him, but! Not long after Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli still did not hesitate to copy Zhang Juzheng's entire family, and what was even more tragic was that his eighty-year-old mother was locked in her home without rice and water, and died of thirst and starvation.
Zhang Juzheng's example Cao Cao can't see it, but Huo Guang's bloody example Cao Cao can see it in his eyes, the road of power and ministers, either go to the ultimate to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne and change the dynasty, or just wait for you to settle accounts after the emperor is gone!
Who is the most direct threat to Cao's abolition now?
It's not those noisy warrior clan lords in the court, or even the external warlord Sun Quan Liu Bei, who is opposed to Cao's operation, but the internal warlords who have soldiers and generals at hand and are independent of Cao's rule, and to be more specific, the Guanzhong group of lords, Ma Chao! Han Sui!
Thanks to Jia Xu, who witnessed it, Guanzhong, which was originally the center of the empire, has been disrupted, with a population of less than one, and now, through a series of efforts by Zhong Xuan, Yecheng can only control Tongguan to Chang'an, about half of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and the other half of Yongzhou are actually in the hands of the Guanzhong group of valves!
Xu Du, the old Han relics in Yecheng are no longer arrogant, they don't have ice fists, and Cao Cao can completely ignore them when the time comes! Now Liu Bei is under the fence in Jingzhou, his strength is too small, his position is too far, and the threat to Cao Cao is average, Sun Quan is in a corner of peace, although he is also ambitious, and Sun Wu is also strong. But for the Cao family, the emperor and even Sun Quan may even add fuel to the fire.
Because only the Cao family took the lead in carrying this banner, and his grandson Quan was called emperor again, so there was not so much pressure from public opinion.
However, Ma Chao and Han Sui are under the banner of Cao Cao, and they are inextricably linked with the old ministers of the court, once the Cao family is called the emperor, they are also the easiest to collude with the widows of the Han family, pull up the big flag, and fight into the customs under the banner of Kuangfu Han Qingjun to seek greater political interests.
Wasn't Dong Zhuo a predecessor back then? Li Dao and Guo Yan have laid a good example.
In addition, in terms of geographical location and military strength, as long as Guanzhong is highlighted, Xiliang's fierce iron cavalry can rush to the foot of Yecheng for a few days and nights.
Liangzhou had to be guarded, which gave Jia Xu a lot of room to operate!
On this day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In his later years, Mr. Cao had frequent headaches, and he was also inextricably linked to his excessive psychological burden, as always, Cao Cao sat on the prime minister's couch set off by the three-story staircase, but he frowned worriedly.
Although the impact of the Chibi War was gaged by Wang Hou, plus his ass was swollen for a month by sixty boards, it can be regarded as attracting the boiling court discussion. But after all, Cao Jun lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and was beaten by Zhou Yu to cry his father and mother, and in the battle for Jingzhou, Cao Jun was already in a weak position.
Just now, the eight-hundred-mile rush came from Jingzhou again, and Jiangling was lost!
Jiangling is the Jingzhou city of later generations, the Yingdu of the former Chu State, the center of the entire Huguang region, and the base camp of Cao Cao's war against the south of the Yangtze River.
At this juncture, the regular attendant outside, who was killed and hacked to death by Cao Zongwu in a dream a few days ago, the juniors of the close ministers tremblingly hugged their fists and entered the report.
"Prime Minister..., Jia Zhongshu, please see you!"
"Xuan!"
Compared with history, Cao Cao's weight on Jia Xu is a higher level, but the trust is reduced by three ranks, after all, in history, Jia Xu is the king of the calves with the name of the person, and he never stands in line on the surface, but now, even if he wants to wash it off, the word "king" is firmly pasted on his back!
Therefore, compared with history, when he met Cao Cao, Jia Xu was also more careful, and after going to the palace in small steps, he hugged his fists and bowed down very respectfully.
"Minister Jia Xu meets the prime minister!"
"Please, Jia Zhongshu is here, what's the matter?"
"Back to Prime Minister! Last month, Xianbei Kebi Nengbu committed the South of Jiuyuan City! He was defeated by Wang Shuang, the captain of the Huns, and beheaded a lot! reported to Zhongshu, but at the same time, Wu Qiujian, the captain of Xianbei, wrote to impeach Wang Shuang, killed the Xianbei southbound trading tribe, and demanded that he be punished! ”
On the surface, the two border troops will compete with each other, Cao Cao understood as soon as he heard it, and his dishonest son-in-law Wang Hou must be involved behind the scenes.
"According to the meaning of Jia Zhongshu, what is the matter with?"
"Back to the prime minister, Xianbei Ke can be a wolf ambition, in recent years has also captured a lot of Xianbei tribes, more and more tail can not fall, this year he is involved in Jiuyuan, its ambition is not small, Wang Shuangneng ordered to live the Hun Hu Chu Spring, Xianbei Budu root, heavy damage Ke Bineng, is a talent!"
Can Jia Xu not speak for Wang Hou? Cao Cao couldn't help but have a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, after beating himself first, Jia Xu turned his words.
However, when the subordinates checked Wang Shuang's resume, he was in the seventh year of Jian'an, when Ma Chao led the army to help the prime minister break through the high ranks, he fought against the Huns and was recommended as the captain of the Huns! He used to belong to the Zhengqu military marquis under Han Sui! ”
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's brows couldn't help frowning.
Stopping the description of the official document at hand, pinching the beard on his chin, Cao Cao thought solemnly, but after thinking for a long time, he asked an insignificant question.
"What has General Zhenbei been doing lately?"
"Back to Prime Minister, General Zhenbei is doing business with Xianbei, it is said that he wants to produce milk powder, and he also wants to spin wool or something, by the way, it is said that General Wang and Captain Wuqiu Jian of Xianbei tried to build a city on the grassland, teach those Xianbei people to cultivate etiquette, and build a city at the foot of Yin Mountain, not far from Jiuyuan!"
"Huh! This kid is more than 2,000 miles away from Liaodong, and he went to the front set to fool around! ”
The corners of his mouth were ridged, and Cao Cao smiled and stroked his palms and shook his head.
"This kid! When he got the milk powder sweater ready, he shipped it to Yecheng and tasted it himself! ”
"What the prime minister said is extremely true!"
Cao Cao didn't say what to do, Jia Xu didn't ask much, and after a few more idle words, he hugged his fists and retired.
It's just that while retreating outward out of the hall, the corners of this thousand-year-old yin ghost's mouth are hooked up with a smile of victory!
