After the parade, the number of soldiers was still rapidly decreasing, and by the time we entered November, there were only 2,000 of the 3,000 troops left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The three Xiahoudun brothers have less than 600 people, among which Xiahou Lian is the most pitiful, and there are only more than 20 people left in his 500 parts. Seeing this, Cao Cao merged these three parts, and the three brothers of Xiahoudun led the troops together.

The decrease in the number of the Dianjun army soon attracted the attention of the remaining seven captains, but after the soldiers of the Dianjun Army left the Dianjun Army, they joined the other four armies, which accelerated the recruitment of these four armies, and the seven captains naturally remained silent.

In addition, the recruitment of the four armies was completed, and the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was completely established, and the next step was the training of the army, and these captains were naturally not as busy as the recruitment, and they began to have time to eat and drink.

Eating and drinking, in fact, is factional co-optation, although Cao Cao said that there were only 2,000 troops left under his command, he still became the object of both the eunuchs and his relatives at the same time.

The descendant of the eunuch, Cao Cao has always been ashamed of this, so he hates the eunuch more than Yuan Shao, and is even more ashamed of associating with the eunuch, so after the establishment of the Five Guards Army, Jian Shuo invited Cao Cao many times, but Cao Cao refused.

Today, after Cao Cao burned Jian Shuo's invitation again, he sneered and said: "I killed Jian Tu, this thief doesn't want to take revenge, but deliberately woos me, it's really a shameless villain." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, at the moment, among the five armies of the Praetorian Guard, although Jian Shuo has a big advantage, this is only the five armies of the Praetorian Guard, and He Jin's troops are still far more than the eunuch group, so Jian Shuo naturally wants to win over you more." ”

After that military training incident, Cao Cao was impressed by Cao Ju, and Cao Ju was also extremely studious, not only borrowing military reading books from Cao Cao, but also often asking Cao Cao for advice.

In half a month, Cao Ju's progress was simply shocking to Cao Cao, a woodcutter who had never gone to school, there were almost no words he didn't know, and Cao Ju's comprehension of the art of war didn't seem to be much worse than him.

"You are the thousand-mile horse of the Cao family." Like Cao Song, Cao Cao also compared Cao Ju to this kind, and even introduced Cao Ju as a confidant, who was together almost every day.

The identity of Cao Song and Cao Cao's father and son is quite embarrassing, the Xiahou family has a lot of opinions on Cao Song's change of surname and betrayal of the ancestors, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and Cao Song was once a captain, and Cao Cao made a fortune soon after Cao Song was dismissed, and the Xiahou family can only rely on Cao Song's father and son for the rise of the family.

As for the Cao family, it's the same, because of Cao Jie's four sons, the best one is Cao Teng, the official worships Da Changqiu, and then Cao Bao, the official worships Yingchuan Taishou, and the other two brothers Cao Qi and Cao Jing are basically not famous.

Cao Bao's eldest son, Cao Chi, once served as a doctor in Taizhong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sima, Changshi, Shizhong, and Changshui Lieutenant, and was the father of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, but unfortunately died too early, the year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Cao Bao's second son, Cao Yin, served as a subordinate official of the servant of the confessor, named the confessor, a 400-stone man, but he died six years earlier than Cao Chi.

In this way, among Cao Jie's descendants, only Cao Teng is in the same vein, so Cao Teng's nephews and nephews can only rely on Cao Song, who was originally not Cao, but from the bottom of their hearts, they are still quite resistant to this fake Cao.

Historically, although Xiahou and Cao's two sects did not recognize Cao Cao's sect very much, Cao Cao participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, based on the righteousness of the world, and also moved Xiahou and Cao's two sects, so when Cao Cao defeated Xu Rong, Cao Hong gave his horse to Cao Cao to escape.

The appearance of Cao Ju, the real Cao family's thousand-mile horse, lifted Cao Chun's spirits, and at the same time made Cao Cao feel happy, as long as he could control Cao Ju, he would control half of the Cao family. Cao Cao understands that he can't coerce Cao Ju in control of him, but can only move him with his true feelings, so Cao Cao's kindness to Cao Ju is far above the rest of the people.

Of course, the Xiahou brothers were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's move, and there were quite a few complaints, which also reached Cao Cao's ears, but Cao Cao knew in his heart that behind a Cao Ju, there was not only the entire Cao family, but also a fierce general like Dian Wei, which was definitely much more valuable than the three Xiahou brothers.

Cao Cao sneered again: "And Yuan Benchu, who also wants to win me into He Jin's camp, hey, just a butcher, with a few strengths, relying on the relationship of the queen to become a general, without courage and strategy, how can he achieve great things." ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly and said: "Brother Meng De, the emperor's body is not as good as before, the two major forces of the eunuch group and the foreign relatives group are competing with each other, and sooner or later there will be a fight. ”

"That's right." Cao Cao frowned, a major event similar to such a development prospect, even Cao Chun couldn't see it far, and the only person Cao Cao consulted with was Cao Ju.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and asked, "Ah Ju, what should you do?" ”

Cao Ju didn't expect Cao Cao to ask him for a plan, thought about it, and said: "Once the emperor dies, the new emperor is young, and the power will inevitably fall into the hands of He Jin, Zhang Rang and others are definitely not He Jin's opponents." However, it is necessary to prevent the queen from protecting them, and He Jin is a soft-eared root, who may not be able to strike a thunderous blow, but will be devoured by the eunuchs. ”

What Cao Ju said was the real historical trend, but this seemed to Cao Cao to be almost impossible, and he couldn't help laughing: "Once the emperor dies and He Jin takes power, as long as he gets rid of Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and the others are not fishy, and only two or three sergeants can kill them." ”

With Cao Cao's identity, it is already rare to have such a guess, but he would never have imagined that He Jin would be so indecisive, and he also ordered Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to enter Beijing, and later they were killed by Zhang Rang and others, which led to the chaos in the world in advance.

Cao Ju saw that Cao Cao didn't believe his words, so naturally it was impossible to explain anything, so he just smiled slightly and said no more.

Cao Cao saw Cao Ju's confidence on his face, and he was extremely suspicious in his heart, but he also continued to ask.

At this time, Mending Ngawang led a man to come, saying that he was a servant of Huangfu Song, and came to send an invitation to Cao Cao and invite Cao Cao to drink at the house.

Huangfu Song, who was a great contributor to quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was awarded the title of General of the Left Che Cavalry, the Leader of Jizhou Mu, and the Marquis of Huaili because of his outstanding military achievements. After the arrival of Huangfu Song, Shangzhu asked for a one-year tax exemption for the people of Jizhou, and was later deposed for offending Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and changed the title of the marquis of the capital.

"Strange." After receiving Huangfu Song's invitation, Cao Cao sent someone to reply that he would arrive, and wondered in his heart, "Since being framed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and losing his official position, General Huangfu has been at home for a long time and has been very low-key, why did he suddenly invite me to the banquet this time?" ”
