Following.
When Cao Cao dragged his tired body to announce his retirement from the dynasty, the civil and military officials shouted long live, bowed and bowed and withdrew from the Taiji Palace, although there was no expression on his face, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.
In the past two days, they have heard a lot of rumors, saying that His Majesty wants to personally recruit Liu Bei, and even well-informed people have heard the conversation between Ning Hou and the emperor last night.
"Humph! Since Liu Bei dares to be the emperor, then Rong will make him the shortest-lived emperor in history! ”
The ministers looked at each other, and if they were ordinary people, they would think that they were arrogant or arrogant.
However, these words were said by Ning Rong, which makes people have to pay attention to it, and those who have passed since that decade will not forget the name of Ning Zhiyuan, a genius who is full of wisdom and has no last resort.
"It seems that Your Majesty is really going to make a big move!"
"Not so! His Majesty didn't say a word about the use of troops! ”
"Humph! Your Majesty's heart is the heart of heaven, how can you and me, ordinary people, snoop in! ”
The whispers of civil and military officials are all the opinions of the benevolent and the wise, and what is the difference between this scene and the gossip of the people in the market at this moment.
"Lord Xun...... Lord Xun ...... "There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and everyone turned to look, but they saw that it was the eunuch Wang Guan beside Cao Cao.
Xun Yu naturally heard the shouts of the eunuch Wang and stopped at the moment.
"The slave has seen Lord Xun!"
Although Mr. Wang was majestic in the court, he did not dare to be a little lazy with these Xun Lingjun, and saluted respectfully.
"Is there something going on with Mr. Wang?"
Xun Yu frowned, stared at the other party with his eyes and asked, because of the relationship between the ten permanent servants back then, he always had a vigilant attitude towards the eunuchs.
"Your Majesty's Imperial Study summons!"
Manager Wang hurriedly said to Xun Yu, for fear of causing misunderstanding from the other party.
"Weichen Command!"
When Xun Yu heard this, he moved his steps lightly and said in the direction of the imperial study.
“……”
Then, without waiting for Manager Wang to speak, Xun Yu raised his legs and took a step forward, went straight past the other party, and went in the direction of the imperial study.
……
The Imperial Study.
Cao Cao sat on the dragon chair, and when Xun Yu arrived, he saw that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were also in the room, which made him suddenly have a plan in his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Xun Yu stepped forward to salute.
"Wen Ruo took the first seat, I ordered someone to summon Wen He!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and pointed to the side of the chair and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xun Yu still thanked Cao Cao first, and then glanced at the two vacant seats on the right, and went straight over, while Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren sat opposite him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jia Xujia brings it!" The eunuch's voice came.
"Xuan!"
Cao Cao spit out a word with a resolute face, he is now more and more majestic as an emperor, walking and talking is always following the law, truly holding the Tianxian in his hands, and holding the power of killing thousands of people.
Jia Xu's low-key style can't hide his talent and strategy, Cao Cao knows that he is also a famous strategist in the world, and his strategy has always been nine deaths.
"Ahem...... I want to sweep away Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, so as to march into Xichuan, eliminate Liu Bei in one fell swoop, and recover the land of Yizhou! ”
Cao Cao coughed lightly and said directly.
"Your Majesty is wise! Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was too cowardly to defend, and the last general was willing to lead an army of 20,000 to conquer Hanzhong and capture Zhang Lu at the feet of His Majesty! ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and asked Cao Cao to fight.
"Good! Good! Miaocai has guarded Chang'an for many years, and there are many frictions with Hanzhong, and he is most familiar with the terrain and landforms. ”
Cao Cao praised Xiahou Yuan with great joy.
"Lord, the last general is also willing to lead the troops to the battle, and is willing to make a military order......"
Cao Ren didn't expect Cao Cao to agree to Xiahou Yuan's invitation to fight, he thought that the four of them came here to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't want to be robbed by Xiahou Yuan.
Now that the world has been fighting for hegemony for more than ten years, countless heroes and overlords have disappeared, if he does not seize the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle, then when the world is unified in the future, he will never have great merit.
Speaking of which, Cao Ren's glory is also a tragedy, because he is Cao Cao's younger brother and has the ability to command the army, so naturally Cao Cao wants to cultivate his ability to take charge more, so that he can resist the banner of the army in the future.
However, Cao Cao himself was also a commander-in-chief general, which decided that he could not delegate military power like Liu Bei, and let those generals pacify the Quartet and lead the troops to fight.
In fact, many times, Cao Cao personally went to conquer the enemy, although every time Cao Ren was the commander of the Chinese army, and he transferred the armies of the front and rear at the same time, it seemed as if he was the commander of the army.
But everyone knows that he is just Cao Cao's deputy, in other words, Cao Ren's order is actually Cao Cao's order, so Cao Ren's glory in the eyes of others is a tragedy in his own heart.
Craving!
Cao Ren had never been so eager to lead an army as he was at this moment.
However......
Things in the world are always not as they should be, otherwise there will be no things to follow.
Cao Cao looked at the resolute Cao Ren, his heart moved slightly, at this moment he did have the idea of letting the other party go on the expedition, but after thinking about it, he felt that the other party might not be able to convince the public.
What the?
Can't convince the public?
If Cao Ren knew Cao Cao's thoughts, he would definitely vomit blood in frustration, with his own ability and merit, couldn't he still send troops to kill the enemy independently?
Yes!
Cao Cao naturally trusted Cao Ren's ability, but this time he felt that the number of troops sent was a bit large.
"Zixiao, this time you will send troops to attack Hanzhong, and you can be the commander of the Chinese army!"
Cao Cao's gaze looked firmly into Cao Ren's eyes.
It's the commander of the Chinese army again!
Cao Ren's heart suddenly cooled, and sure enough, he didn't have a chance again, it seemed that His Majesty was going to take the royal conquest in person.
"This expedition to Hanzhong, I will sit in Xudu!"
Cao Cao didn't wait for everyone to catch their breath, and another blockbuster news was thrown.
"Your Majesty, you ...... You are in Xudu, I don't know who can lead the troops to the battle? ”
Xun Yu's beard immediately curled, but he could hear it clearly, Xiahou Yuan was the commander of the former army, and Cao Ren was the commander of the Chinese army, so ...... Who is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces?
"Huang Zhong, brave and resolute, has the style of a general; Zhao Yun, brave and good at fighting, has a reputation for always winning, these two can be the commanders of the rear army! ”
Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu and continued to say the deployment in his heart.
"Adjust the jaw to take over the post of General Li Dianyouxiaowei, and follow Miaocai as the deputy marshal of the former army!"
"Promote Xu Huang to the general of the right guard, add the title of Zhongxin Marquis, and order him to be the deputy marshal of the Chinese army!"
Cao Cao said to himself, and said his plan in one breath.
Poof!
Cao Ren was so frightened that he made a chair, since the elimination of the Yuan faction, the strength of their Great Wei Dynasty Sixteen Guards was rapidly expanding, after the latest round of army reorganization, now there are 25,000 officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of each guard.
And Cao Cao opened his mouth this time to be six mighty armies, which added up to 150,000 horses, and all of them were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. However, if you really think that there are only 150,000 horses, it is really a big mistake, do not forget that the Great Wei implements the government army system, and with the departure of these six armies, the government soldiers of the prefectures and counties will continue to gather towards Hanzhong, and in the end, with the auxiliary troops transporting grain, it will reach 300,000
Numerous!
"Three...... 300,000 ......"
Cao Ren gasped, and the entire imperial study fell silent.
Raising the national strength of the Great Wei Dynasty, the total strength of the army is only seven or eight hundred thousand, and this campaign in Hanzhong will launch 300,000, which is the general strength of the national dynasty, if you are not careful, the luck of the entire dynasty will immediately fall apart.
Call......
With a long sigh of relief, Cao Ren felt that he felt a lot more comfortable, no wonder he couldn't be the commander of the three armies, just these 300,000 military horses, even if Cao Cao gave them to him, he didn't dare to bring them, and no matter the heavy responsibility, it was inevitable that the hearts of the monarchs and ministers would be suspicious.
"Your Majesty, with such a heavy army, who can be in charge?"
Xun Yu felt a little headache, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so crazy.
"Cao Ang!"
Cao Cao's eyebrows jumped, and he slowly said the name seriously, in fact, he had been thinking about it for a long time.
"This ......"
Hearing that Cao Cao actually asked the crown prince to command the troops, everyone looked at each other, nodded and shook their heads, feeling a little tricky.
"The crown prince is indescribably expensive, commanding the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right leading guards, and naturally being able to convince the public, but ...... The prince is young, and the ministers are afraid of losing it! ”
Xun Yu's words were like Huang Zhong Dalu, and he said unceremoniously.
Cao Ang's identity is indeed suitable for commanding an army, but his ability is not reassuring, although the prince has already started a family, but he commanded 300,000 in his twenties, which really sounds unconvincing.
"I ...... It was decided to make Ning Zhiyuan a military advisor and go out with the army! ”
Cao Cao's eyes were firmly fixed on these people, and when he said Ning Rong's name, he obviously saw several people trembling.
However, he didn't know that at that moment. His expression was seen by Xun Yu.
Alas!
Your Majesty, you really know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
"Ning Junshi ......"
Hearing that it was Ning Rong who was the military advisor, everyone immediately fell silent.
Ning Rong's ability and means can indeed play a supporting role.
But......
Thinking of the relationship between Cao Ang and Ning Rong, everyone's hearts were smeared with a shadow.
If this is the case, it is not so much that Cao Ang commanded the three armies, but that it is Ning Zhiyuan.
And Cao Cao looked at everyone's silent expressions, and his heart turned a thousand times, but he immediately understood his loopholes.
"Ahem! Ning Zhiyuan used tricks to surprise strangers, but I sent more than 300,000 troops to the expedition this time, but I wanted to use a dignified and upright army to make the subjects of the world restrain their hands! ”
"Your Majesty is wise, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Zhiyuan alone!"
Jia Xu was scheming and calculating, so he naturally understood Cao Cao's heart.
"That'...... Who should I send? Cao Cao asked suspiciously.
"This ...... Back to Your Majesty, Cheng Yu is resourceful and loyal to His Majesty, and he is a pillar of going abroad, and he will definitely live up to the trust! Jia Xu and Xun Yu suddenly glanced at each other, and then said with bright eyes.
