"This first gong is not Zihe, nor is it a wonderful talent, it is Ping'er," Cao Cao's astonishment was overflowing.

It turned out that Cao Hong's battle report was clearly written.

Previously, Cao Chun defeated He Yi's forward troops and marched quickly, and finally found its main force, and the two sides fought a decisive battle in the suburbs.

After a bloody battle, He Yi was defeated, so he asked to surrender.

Cao Chun accepted that, according to the statistics after the war, a total of 3,000 enemies were killed, 4,000 were captured, and 1,000 were self-inflicted, and then returned victorious.

He has 5,000 against 10,000, which is quite an impressive record to be able to fight like this.

Xiahou Yuan was facing Huang Shao.

However, as soon as Huang Shao and Xiahou Yuan came into contact, they knew that they couldn't beat it, so they immediately led the team to escape.

Xiahou Yuan was a general who was famous for his running attacks, so he naturally chased after him.

In the end, after Xiahou Yuan caught up, he killed Huang Shao and defeated all his soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan's record does not look bad, with 2,000 enemies killed, 1,000 prisoners, and 500 self-losses.

The number of enemies killed was relatively low, and that was due to the fact that many of them escaped during the pursuit.

And after Han Hao's victory in Qinjialou, he immediately marched into the gourd valley.

Under a fire, He Man's army only escaped with more than 300 people in disarray, and Han Hao, who was blocked at the mouth of the valley, guarded it and killed them all.

He Man also escaped and was also killed by Lu Qi.

Therefore, Han Hao's record was that more than 12,000 enemies were killed, 300 were captured, 8 were killed, and 40 were wounded.

As for Lejin, there is no record.

Lejin led 3,000 troops and horses to escort grain and grass, Liu Bi did not dare to rob the grain at all, and later Liu Bi saw that the other three-way coalition forces were all exterminated, and felt that the general trend had gone, so he took the initiative to go to Xu County and surrender to Cao Hong.

This is not Lejin's record either.

With such statistics, it is clear who is the first to do so.

Except for Lejin, each army was against more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops, although Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun both won the victory, they also lost their troops and lost their generals, and did not reap all the credits, after all, they let go of many thieves.

Han Haojun, on the other hand, was simply not like words, only killed and wounded less than fifty people, and then killed more than 10,000 thieves, but only escaped two or three hundred people during the battle in Qinjialou.

Of course, there is a reason for the proper use of fire attack tactics, but who says that winning by trickery is not victory?

What's more, Han Hao's department has the smallest number of people, only a thousand people.

So Cao Hong didn't even think about it when he reported his merits, and directly reported Han Haobu as his first merit.

The master of Han Hao's department is Liu Ping, so this first credit naturally belongs to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was also surprised by Han Hao's performance, he originally felt that even if Han Hao trained the Mandarin Duck Formation, after all, the training time was short, and there was a huge difference in number with Cao Chun Xiahou Yuan, so it was unlikely that he would achieve the first feat.

I didn't expect Han Hao to use a trick and finish it so beautifully, which made him impressed.

The room was quiet for a while.

Cao Ren suddenly laughed and said: "Dare to love the son and fight with Miaocai for a long time, but in the end the winner is Ping'er, I really want to see what the faces of these two people are." ”

Previously, the two of them were more energetic, you fought for me, but I didn't expect to be copied by Liu Ping, Cao Ren wanted to laugh as soon as he thought about it.

Cao Cao nodded at Liu Ping with satisfaction, he couldn't remember how many surprises his son-in-law had brought him.

"In such a short period of time, a group of Tuntian soldiers have been trained to such combat power, and the training is good.

What's even more gratifying is that at the same time as Han Hao marched into the army, he captured the hearts of the people north of Xuxian County, which is more important than a victory, which shows that you really teach your subordinate army well.

You deserve this skill.

Later, go to the back house and ride the Dawan horse away, that's yours. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law," Liu Ping happily arched his hand, finally having a BMW of his own.

This is more precious than a BMW car in later generations.

Other generals, including Cao Ren, had a toothache that they were envious.

The difference between a horse's quality and badness is only when two generals face off is the most obvious.

Although Liu Ping also led troops to fight, he was a commanding general, and he did not fight against enemy generals, isn't it a waste to ride such a good horse?

But his meritorious service is as easy as drinking water, and others can't learn from him if they want to, so Da Wanma naturally has no part.

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and said: "As for the matter of the Son of Heaven, I will discuss it with Miaocai when he returns to the army tomorrow."

At the same time, let Zilian, Yuan Rang, and Wen Ruo also report their thoughts to me. ”

Whether the Son of Heaven welcomes it or not is a double-edged sword.

The merit of saving the driver is naturally a great thing, and he will be rewarded by the Son of Heaven.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, from the princes of one side to the ministers of the court, no matter what you do, you have to report to the Son of Heaven, you can't do anything.

So whether this matter is good or bad, Cao Cao can't make up his mind for a while, he has to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision.

Of course, the main thing was to listen to his brother and a few leading advisers.

Fortunately, at this time, Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan were already on their way back to the army.

Send people to ride fast horses to Xuxian and Juancheng, and let Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, and Xun Yu write letters to explain their views, and one day and one night are enough to go back and forth.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Ping was happy to go to the back house to lead the horse.

As for whether to welcome the Son of Heaven, do you still need to ask? If the Son of Heaven is not ushered in, it is impossible to say whether there will be Cao Wei's regime in the future.

Although the Son of Heaven is just an empty shelf, it is impossible to command the princes, but he can attract all the scholars and talents from all over the world.

Although the princes ignored the emperor, since "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country has been deeply rooted in the hearts of those scholars, and those scholars still regard serving the Son of Heaven as the right way.

Although the Cao family is noble, it relies on eunuchs to make a fortune, and has always been looked down upon by the scholar group, not to mention that Cao Cao once killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, which made the Cao family even more stinky among the scholars.

In the past few years, Cao Cao has been sparing no effort to recruit talents, but few are willing to come.

One of the most striking examples, Xun Yu has been working for Cao Cao for several years, and he recommended Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia for the Cao family, but his brother Xun Yue and nephew Xun You refused to come.

History proves that since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xu County, Xun Yue, Xun You, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Liu Ye, Han Song and a large number of scholars rushed to vote.

Therefore, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Legend of You Heng" cloud: "It is time to build a new capital, and the wise men and doctors come from all directions to gather." ”

It's a pity that there are only a few people who realize that the Son of Heaven is a strange commodity to live in.

Liu Ping had just taken two steps when someone called him from behind.

"Ping'er go slowly," it was Cao Ren who rushed over, he frowned and said: "I don't understand, what does your father-in-law think, do you still need to discuss such a thing as welcoming the Son of Heaven, what is it to usher in the Son of Heaven?"

When the Son of Heaven issues an edict, will you listen or not.

If you don't listen, it will be no different from Li Dao Guo Yan, and you will inevitably be scolded at that time.

If you listen, then this Yanzhou is still our Cao's?

This foundation was created by your father-in-law with a knife and a gun on our heads, and now you also have a share.

The imperial court has not given us any help, if we want to dominate the world, we rely on the courage of the soldiers, what does it have to do with the imperial court and the Son of Heaven?

In the final analysis, Yanzhou is our Cao family, at most plus the Xiahou family, you have to stand firm in tomorrow's deliberations, don't listen to the demagogy of Guo Jia's group of scholars.

Resolutely can't get the Son of Heaven. ”
