In 312 AD, that is, the 312th year of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the first court meeting that Cao Xing participated in this year was opened on the second day of Cao Xing's return to Luoyang.

After returning to the court after leaving for two or three months, Cao Xinggang wanted to return to his position as General Wei and walked towards the head of Situ Wang Yun, and the voice of Shi Puji, a regular servant among the eunuchs, had already come:

"The emperor, the queen mother goes to court!"

Empress Dowager He, with the support of Cao Jian and the Young Emperor Shi Puji, stepped into the main hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

"Cao Aiqing! Congratulations on your triumphant return! ”

Empress Dowager He said to Cao Xing, who had just returned to Wang Yun's head, and at this time, Empress Dowager He pointed to the second position of the hundred officials, the next head of Prime Minister Yuan Kui:

"Cao Aiqing, at this time, you go east to Yuzhou, pacify the rebel Sun Jian, and calm the entire territory of Yuzhou......

Lots of credit! The merit is high in the world!

Cao Aiqing, in the future, the second position of the hundred officials will be yours, you will be a general in the future, and you will increase the number of households by 2,000! ”

Cao Xing hurriedly came out of the ranks, he did not go to the second position of the hundred officials as he thought, and he was grateful to Dade.

Hundreds of officials and even Prime Minister Yuan Kui felt that after this victory, the five states of Tianxia, He, Jing, Henan, and Jiao were all under his jurisdiction, and with such a status, there was no need to pretend to be low-key, and he was already qualified to be high-profile.

Cao Xuan looked at the Empress Dowager He deeply, thinking in his heart.

Mu Xiu is in the forest wind will urge, the gun to the first bird, a few catties and a few taels, he knows that in the history of the late Han Dynasty, there were several people who were the strongest among the princes, the strongest troops, and the largest territory at the peak.

The first is Dong Zhuo, with 200,000 Xiliang soldiers under his command, he simply ignored the rabble in the Kwantung region and fought against Dong's army, none of them were his opponents, and even the famous general Zhu Jun was defeated in his hands because he lost his elite troops.

And finally? It was lit with a sky lantern.

The second is Gongsun Zhan, who is a nobody like Dong Zhuo, and has the most elite light cavalry in the world under his command, the white horse.

At its peak, Youzhou was included in his rule, half of Jizhou, half of Qingzhou, and half of Merge were all included in his rule, and he was the largest and strongest prince at that time.

And finally?

Yuan Shao, who was only half of Jizhou, was Ju Yi, who had far less troops than him, to take the first step and use a more advanced infantry formation, breaking the myth that he was always victorious with white horses.

Since then, Gongsun Zhan has lost Qing, Hebei, and Merge, and has been guarding Youzhou and a state, and finally went to extinction.

The third to dominate was Yuan Shu, and the fourth was Yuan Shao, all of whom were defeated by enemies whose strength was lower than him, and they collapsed and perished.

Even Cao Cao, the real protagonist of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty in the official history, was defeated by Zhou Yu of the Sun family, whose strength was far lower than him, and laid the foundation for three points of the world.

It is worth mentioning that in the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei was playing soy sauce, and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do, don't be misled by Luo Guanzhong.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, only five people had been dominant, and all five of them, without exception, were all defeated miserably, let alone themselves?

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the minister's ability is shallow! Not enough to be a general! ”

Cao Xing's refusal was very decisive, and the decisiveness made the entire court feel unbelievable, Xu Xiang and Ding Gong looked at Cao Xing's eyes, full of puzzlement, they had long thought that Cao Xing had reached that position, and it was best to squeeze the prime minister down.

When the Empress Dowager He was speechless, Cao Xing diverted the topic: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, now Yuzhou has just experienced war and is in urgent need of reconstruction, there are many vacancies in the counties, and the rebels and rebellious states and counties are threatening Yuzhou.

The minister recommended the fierce general Huang Zhong to serve as the Taishou of Chen County! ”

"Chen Jun?"

Empress Dowager He's face was a little puzzled, and Eunuch Cao reminded her in time in her ear, and Empress Dowager He remembered that King Chen went north to establish a country, and Chen Guo had withdrawn from the country as a county.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager He's face eased a lot, and she was also smoothly changed the topic by Cao Xing, although the Northeast is cold, but it is really at the last moment, go to the Northeast to be the emperor of the soil, maintain face, and lose a good fortune.

"Accurate!"

At this time, the heroes and warriors present were boiling, and Cao Xing was risking the world's disapproval and reusing the rhythm of the heroes and warriors who supported him.

When this news came out of the court, it deepened the trend of the world's heroes and powers taking Cao Xing as the leader.

There are joys and sorrows, the cake is so big, it used to be part of the Shi family, but now there is one more knife and fork, and the face is naturally not much better.

As if sensing the face of the Shi family, Cao Xuan continued:

"The minister recommended Yingchuan Chen Ji as the Taishou of Runan, Wang Ning of Beihai as the Prime Minister of Peiguo, the son of Taiwei Xu Xiang as the Taishou of Yingchuan, and Xu Shao of Runan as the Prime Minister of Liang Guo!"

"Accurate!"

The corporal family has nothing to say, and the four of them are all from the Shi family, although they are all from the Cao family.

Wang Xiu and Chen Yang were the first to follow their own scholars, Wang Ning had already followed him, and the Chen family became the first scholar family to follow him, and it was time to express it.

In this way, the two brothers of the Beihai Wang family served as Taishou at the same time, and there were many county commanders, chiefs and other officials, and the Wang family faintly became the limelight of everyone in Qingzhou.

"So the rest of Yuzhou County is the most dangerous, surrounded by the enemy of the Lu State, Lu State is sandwiched between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, only the southwest corner is connected to Peiguo, which can be described as a place where soldiers must fight, and everyone can not defend it unless it is the art of war.

The minister recommended Dongjun Cheng Yu as the prime minister of Lu! ”

"Dongjun Cheng Yu?"

Empress Dowager He raised questions, although the situation is pressing, there is still some right to speak.

"Exactly! Although it is a poor family, but it is once famous in the world of Yingchuan private school, now the leader of Yingchuan University, the minister has in-depth communication with him, found that he has a unique view on the command of the army, the art of war, and the defense of the city, every time he talks about the art of war, there is admiration, derived from the heart of the minister!

Therefore, the minister recommended Cheng Yu as the most dangerous Lu State in Yuzhou! ”

Empress Dowager He didn't agree for a long time, Cao Xing's eyes looked at her directly, and after the curtain was lowered, it could be seen that the mouth of the Zhongchang servant Cao Jian had been slightly open, and Empress Dowager He's face suddenly became unsightly, and she looked at the prime minister with pitiful eyes.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly stretched out.

Although the poor family is looked down upon by the scholar family, he is also among the scholars, and many of the most important poor families are because of the family history and the pressure of life, so that there are many talents among them.

There is a big difference between the heroes who are easy to produce generals and literary talents, although the family does not look down on the poor family, but they are also unwilling to give up the cold family to themselves.

There are countless wise and resourceful people in the scholars, and it is easy to see how much of a threat they will pose to them if they have gathered the poor and the powerful.

Although today is not the same as in the past, I still understand the truth of boiling frogs in warm water.

"At the same time, the minister recommended Huben Zhonglang to be the general of the expedition to the east, crowned the Marquis of Qi, ate 6,000 households, and led the military of Yanzhou and Qingzhou."
