Chapter 349: Jincheng (1)
?
On March 1, 205 A.D., nearly a month after Xun Yu's death, the Son of Heaven officially decreed that Cao 'Cao' was the Duke of Wei and awarded Jiuxi.
On the same day, the Ye people dug up a bronze finch in Yecheng and dedicated it to Cao. Cao 'Cao' thought it was a good omen and was overjoyed, and ordered to recruit craftsmen and build a bronze bird platform.
At the same time, due to Cao Cao's acceptance of the title of Duke of Wei, coupled with the vacancy left after Xun Yu's death, the pattern of the DPRK and China naturally changed a lot, and there were many civil and military promotions and degraders. Xun Yu succeeded Xun Yu as Shang Shuling, and the rest of the civil and military ministers also had new positions assigned.
Generally speaking, Gao Shun would not care about these changes, but this time, two people caught his attention.
Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, served as the chief bookkeeper. Hanoi Sima Yi, Ren Wenpeng.
At the previous Yingchuan Literary Conference, Gao Shun and Yang Xiu had a relationship, but that was ten years ago, and now Gao Shun has no impression of Yang Xiu.
But even so, Gao Shun still has a deep memory of the classic "Yang Xiu's death" in history. Now that Yang Xiu has entered the political arena, I don't know if he will continue his original fate?
Yang Xiu is thirty-one years old this year, it stands to reason that he is the son of Yang Biao, the former lieutenant, and his own talent is also very good, so he will never come out so late. According to rumors, Yang Xiu is conceited and often arrogant, so he is disliked by Cao Cao's 'Cao', and he is also Yuan Shu's nephew, so he has never had the opportunity to be an official. Until now, Cao 'Cao' has made him a small master bookkeeper.
And Sima Yi, not to mention, Gao Shun, who came from later generations, how could he not have heard of this name?
In fact, at the Yingchuan Cultural Conference, Sima Yi also attended, but Gao Shun didn't notice the other party at that time.
Sima Yi is twenty-seven years old this year, and it is not too early for him to become a career at this age. But Sima Yi is different from Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu is Cao 'Cao' didn't want to use him at all, while Sima Yi was Cao 'Cao' who wanted to conquer him, but was rejected by the other party.
This time, Cao 'Cao' was a little ruthless, and when he sent someone to conquer Sima Yi, he asked the messenger to say to Sima Yi that if you don't come, you will die. In fact, similar threats in the past, Cao 'Cao' also sent someone to say to Sima Yi, but Sima Yi didn't take it very seriously, and killing him if he couldn't succeed in seeking talent was a discrediting act, not the act of the wise master. However, this time it may be because of Xun Yu's death that Sima Yi has become cautious, a hero like Xun Yu can also die so unclearly, which onion is he in front of Cao 'Cao'? With Cao's current status, how can he care about a little reputation? So Sima Yi didn't dare to go against Cao's 'Cao's wishes anymore, and was recruited by him as a literary scholar.
At the court meeting, Gao Shun specially looked at Sima Yi a few times. This young man is not very handsome, but his face is also handsome, and his eyes look so deep that it is impossible to guess what he is thinking. However, Gao Shun looked at Sima Yi for a long time, and he didn't see the so-called "eagle looking at the wolf" feeling on his face, you must know that Sima Yi's demeanor is the most famous in later generations. But this is normal, if you can see the opposite at a glance, then Sima Yi has already been clicked by Cao's '', how can it be the turn of the descendants to usurp the throne.
On March 6, ————————————————————————————————, Cao 'Cao' personally served as the commander-in-chief, commanding 100,000 troops, with his eldest son Cao Ang as the deputy commander, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, Le Jin, Wen Ping, and Li Tong as generals, Jia Xu as the strategist, Dian Wei as the guard, and the soldiers sent Liangzhou to crusade against Han Sui.
Liu Biao has already captured Xuchang, and Sun Jian can't fight for a while, so the next thing to deal with is Han Sui.
Han Sui's current situation is not much better than last year's Liu Biao.
Although he killed Ma Teng and annexed Ma Teng's people. However, there are many people in Xiliang who worship Ma Teng and Ma Chao, especially the Qiang people, and they respect the Ma father and son. Han Sui killed Ma Teng in full view of everyone, and he couldn't hide it at all, which can be said to be well-known, so there are not many people in Xiliang who are truly obedient to Han Sui.
As for the Qiang people, after Han Sui returned to Xiliang, they were even more 'chaotic' all day long, one 'wave' after another, and it never stopped.
At this time, it is the right time to send troops to attack Xiliang, and it will not be too difficult, so Cao 'Cao' did not send too many famous generals, sent a few generals, and then brought a group of rising stars to let them practice more.
Cao Ang is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is outstanding in all aspects. When Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou last year, Cao Ang was in charge of Xuchang and handled the internal affairs in an orderly manner. Although there are the assistance of Xun Yu and other capable ministers, Cao Ang's own political ability cannot be ignored.
For Cao Ang's successor, Cao Cao' can be said to be very satisfied, and his subordinate Wenchen also agrees with Cao Ang. Now, as long as Cao Ang has an unshakable prestige in the army, Cao 'Cao' can rest assured that he will be able to 'entrust' everything to Cao Ang after a hundred years.
Therefore, this time to attack Liangzhou, Cao 'Cao' directly promoted Cao Ang to the position of deputy marshal, just to give him more opportunities to be neutral and powerful in the army.
Although Cao Cao's intention was to experience the rising star through this battle, the battle situation was much smoother than Cao Cao's original expectation, and Cao's army only reached the border of Liangzhou, and heard the news that Han Sui had personally come to ask for surrender.
Cao 'Cao' was very surprised by this, but after the accident, he was overjoyed, and then he felt a little regretful. Although in the expectation, Han Sui was not difficult to deal with, but it was a good thing to be able to subdue the other party without much effort. However, the younger generations lost an excellent opportunity to practice, and they can't help but feel a little regretful.
The place where Han Sui's surrender was officially accepted was chosen in Jincheng.
