Accompanying Cao Shuo to the side, Guo Xin bowed and said to him: "Husband, Huo Wu got the news that the Huns have attacked Wuhuan." ”

"The Huns attacked Wuhuan?" Cao Shuo asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Wuhuan was only broken by the Cao family, and the national strength is when it is weakened." Guo Xin said: "The Xiongnu Dadan Yu Qubei thought that he could annex Wuhuan and take advantage of the situation to strengthen the Xiongnu, so he sent troops to them. Now Wuhuan and the Xiongnu are at war, but Wuhuan is obviously not the opponent of the Huns. ”

"How long do you estimate it will take for the Huns to break through Wuhuan?" This news was impossible for Cao Shuo to think of in advance, and he asked Guo Xin.

"Two years, one year." Guo Xin said: "Wuhuan is indeed not the opponent of the Huns. ”

"Pick one of your Fire Dances with sharp legs." Cao Shuo said: "Immediately let him go to Xiapi, invite the Tu Gehun Zuoxian King, and say that I have something important for them to do." ”

"I'll arrange it." Guo Xin responded.

"Don't go, let Wang Yan go." Cao Shuo said: "She arranges these things more neatly than you." ”

"What my husband said is, I'll go to Wang Yan." Guo Xin owes a salute.

After talking to Guo Xin, Cao Shuo walked towards Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, who were waiting not far away.

"Tell Chen Gongtai." In front of the two of them, Cao Shuo instructed: "Please ask him to lead the imperial court envoy and the fourth prince to meet in the front hall." ”

Zhu Ao left in response, and Cao Shuo took Deng Zhan to the front hall.

"Wei Tu is not in Shouchun?" Walking to the front hall, Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan.

"It's not clear that I'm just going back to Shouchun." Deng Zhan replied: "I'll go to his residence and ask later." ”

"If he's here, let him come to my study in the evening." Cao Shuo said: "And Cai Ji, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know how he is building the road now." When building roads outside, there must be some news. ”

"I'll ask someone about it later and ask where General Cai is." Deng Zhan replied.

Coming to the front hall, Cao Shuo entered the door and said to Deng Zhan: "You don't have to accompany you here, you can do the things I arranged first." ”

Deng Zhan stepped back in response.

After sitting in the front hall for a while, Zhu Ao led the imperial court envoy and Cao Zhi to come.

Entering the front hall, the envoy greeted Cao Zhi and Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo asked, "I wonder how the envoy and Zijian came together?" ”

"General." The envoy bowed and saluted and said to Cao Shuo: "I have come to canonize the general by the will of His Majesty. ”

"Canonization?" Knowing that he was going to be promoted, Cao Shuo pretended to be surprised and asked, "My official has already done a lot of work, what else do you want to canonize?" ”

"Cao Shuo listened to the seal." The messenger stopped and whispered.

Cao Shuo just clenched his fists and arched his hands: "The minister is here." ”

His attitude was somewhat arrogant, but the messenger did not dare to say anything, and took out the holy decree and read it.

To say that Liu Xie really cooperated with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao just planned to make Cao Shuo a general and lead four states and two counties, but Liu Xie simply gave him the title of king of five states.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have never heard of a fief of a king with five states.

Hearing this title, Cao Shuo couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Immediately afterwards, another title really surprised Cao Shuo.

Liu Xie actually canonized him as the Great Sima.

The world has been chaotic for many years, and the Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ, who were originally extremely human ministers, have become false titles, and the three dukes who were in charge of power in the early years are just for some idlers to do.

What really holds the power is such a real position as Da Sima.

Da Sima controls the world's soldiers and horses, and it can be said that the world's soldiers and horses are the Great Yuan Rong.

Liu Xie gave him this position, which is indeed higher than the so-called king of the five states.

When the envoy read out the holy decree, Cao Shuo asked him: "Dare to ask the envoy, I have become a great Sima, what position does my father have now?" ”

"Your Majesty has adopted Cao Gong's suggestion." The envoy said: "Reset the positions of prime minister, imperial historian, etc., abolish the three dukes, and now Cao Gong can be renamed Prime Minister Cao." ”

Cao Cao became the prime minister, and Cao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how high the official position of Da Sima is, it is impossible to be higher than the prime minister.

"Then thank Your Majesty for me." Cao Shuo arched his hand to the envoy, and then instructed Zhu Ao: "General Zhu, please lead the envoy to rest." ”

Zhu Ao responded and said to the envoy: "Envoy, please." ”

Seeing the messenger leave, Cao Zhi gave a big salute to Cao Shuo again: "The younger brother has seen the elder brother." ”

"You're not in Yuzhou, what are you doing in Shouchun?" Cao Shuo asked him.

"I came to Shouchun because I heard that my father was going to crusade against Jingzhou." Cao Zhi said: "Now that the eldest brother is the son of the world, how can my father not let the eldest brother show his martial arts when he crusades against Jingzhou?" I'm just trying to get a favor from my eldest brother. ”

"What benefits?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I want to go with my eldest brother." Cao Zhi said: "I begged my father before, but he refused to take me with him. ”

"Yuzhou is important, and Xudu is the foundation of our Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "What are you doing in Jingzhou?" ”

"Born as a son of the Cao family, I can't watch my eldest brother lead the army, but I don't share my worries for my father and eldest brother." Cao Zhi clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Cao Shuo: "The eldest brother is now the king of Wuzhou, the great Sima, and the general, but I am still a white body, if this continues, in the future, the eldest brother will take over the Cao family, how can I be a new assistant?" ”

"You didn't even think about fighting with me?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was taken aback by his question, and hurriedly said: "Eldest brother Mingjian, the younger brother is willing to assist the eldest brother wholeheartedly, there is no second heart!" ”

"If you really don't have two hearts, you can do one thing for me." Cao Shuo said to Cao Zhi.

"Dare to ask the eldest brother, what do you want me to do?" Cao Zhi hurriedly asked.

"After my father led the army to the battle, he helped me keep an eye on the Cao family's back house." Cao Shuo said: "I guess your second brother will make some more moves behind his back after we leave. ”

Speaking of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi sighed: "I really don't know what the second brother has been thinking about all day, now that the eldest brother is the son of the world, the Cao family is much more stable than before, he does these things, I really don't know what he wants." ”

"What's the picture?" Cao Shuo grinned: "What else can it be besides power?" With power, your life and mine are all in his hands. What kind of person Zihuan is, you and I have grown up together since childhood, and we are very clear. ”

Cao Zhi nodded and said, "If the second brother gets the Cao family, I'm afraid our brothers won't have a good time." ”

"It's good to know." Cao Shuo said: "You don't have to go to Jingzhou, find an opportunity to go to Yecheng, and make the first assignment for his father before he goes on the expedition, so that he will be happy and happy, and it is good to give Caitou." As for the official position you want, I will also report to my father and ask him for his permission. ”

"Thank you, brother!" Cao Shuo said that he would arrange an official position for him, and Cao Zhi hurriedly thanked him. 2k reading web
