Two, three, four: For the father
The first thing Cao Zhang did when he returned to Xudu was naturally to attend the reception banquet held for him by the emperor, on this banquet, all the Jiuqing were present, and the three dukes were now waiting for the vacancy, so Jiuqing was the biggest official in the court, and their attendance represented that this was the highest standard banquet in the Han family.

After Dong Cheng, Kong Rong colluded with the Sima family to be killed, Dong Guiren was implicated and died, the Cao family's momentum rose, and the military power in various places was under Cao Cao's control, so Jiuqing was divided, and no one dared to have bad intentions.
Cao Zhang sat at the head of the general Cao Cao at the banquet, above the head of Jiuqing, Taichang, which was the position specially arranged by Emperor Xian, and it was also a hint to the hundred officials, and now Cao Zhang's status as the ruling Jinwu has been higher than that of Jiuqing.
During the banquet, everyone was staggered, and the atmosphere was warm, especially Cao Cao was in a good mood, frequently persuading everyone to drink, coupled with the sultry servants singing and dancing, the wine banquet added a bit of spring, Cao Zhang drank with a smile under Cao Cao, and his attitude was calm, Jiuqing was secretly surprised in his eyes.
To be able to rank in Jiuqing, even if he is not a knowledgeable and talented person, he is also a human spirit, otherwise the ups and downs of the sea and the turbulent waves will have knocked them down a long time ago, how can they stand at the highest place in the imperial court, so these people naturally have some vision.
Dazai and Guangluxun, who were sitting under Taichang's head, were talking to each other at this time.
"Lord Lin, you see that the son of Zhijinwu is only thirteen years old this year, but on such a big banquet, he is calm and leisurely, and he is really a prodigy! Back then, Kong Wenju didn't have this talent. "It was Guangluxun who spoke, and this person was also a veteran of the two dynasties, an old man.
The object of the old man's speech was Dazai, who was ranked second in the Nine Qings, and was a middle-aged man who was not good-looking, only to hear this person laugh and say: "My lord doesn't know, although this son is young, but he has already been in battle several times, Xia Pi descended to Lu Bu, Runan suppressed bandits, Guandu beheaded Yan Liang, broke Wuchao, and Zhou Kehu Pass, Heluoding three counties, and broke Xianbei outside the pass, it can be said that he has made great achievements in war, and has been on the battlefield for a long time. ”
Guangluxun sighed: "I naturally know this son's military exploits, but the generals under the command of the general are like clouds, and the ministers are like rain, who knows if they will do their best to assist and then give the first merit to this baby, these military exploits or something, we literati don't know, but with this temperament alone, it is indeed a bit of real talent." ”
Dazai said: "That's natural, how can everyone do the Seven Words of Pleasure, poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a deep boudoir dream, it can be regarded as a quatrain for the ages!" I said, Lord Chen, now we Jiuqing are all hanging on a false title, and we only lead Yulu regardless of the government, why do you keep staring at Zhijinwu? Could it be that he wants to support the Han family with the general? ”
Guangluxun was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, this can't be used as a joke, the general is eloquent, how can he use me, a half-dead person, to make trouble for him, it's just that when I looked at Zhi Jinwu, I thought of the dead Kong Wenju, this person was also talented and quick when he was young, just to make a comparison." ”
Dazai sneered when he heard this, and said, "My lord must have said that Kong Wenju has been around for an hour, so it may not be a good thing, right?" Hey, it's not nice to say, that's lip service, but this Zhijin Wu is the master of killing people on the battlefield, how can it be compared! ”
Guangluxun heard the words and said: "What Lord Lin said is very true, it seems that the general is a successor, in fact, this is not a good thing, the old man has experienced Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan's rebellion, and he is running around with the saint, and now although the general is a little domineering, but Yu Lu has not given less, the house has not been built, and the old son is an official, which can be regarded as a blessing, I was worried that the general is old, the world is undecided, and our saint can't support this Han family, and now I see this lord Jinwu, the old man doesn't have to worry about Luo!" ”
Dazai smiled when he heard the old man say this, noncommittal, such a conversation can be seen among many people in the banquet, Cao Zhang is in the third priority, so he can naturally see it clearly, and compared with their mouth and demeanor, he also knows that what they are discussing is nothing more than himself and Cao Cao, and he suddenly has a kind of realization in his heart, Cao Cao has sent himself out for more than a year, in order to let the high-ranking officials present see what kind of achievements they will make.
Now he has not disappointed Cao Cao, and has deterred the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, whether it is those who are worried that Cao Cao will not be able to control the situation when he is old, or those who are looking forward to Cao Cao being old and having no leader to fish in troubled waters, seeing Cao Zhang, they will settle down, the pacification of the three counties of Heluo and the battle of Tuoba Xianbei outside the Guanhai have effectively demonstrated that Cao Zhang is a general who can take charge alone.
Of course, the most intimidating thing is naturally his age, Cao Zhang, who is only thirteen years old now, already has such military qualifications, what else can these half-old high-ranking officials do? The so-called age is a treasure, that's the truth.
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly said to Cao Zhang: "Ziwen, what do you think should be done with Tuoba Liwei?" ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Wu asked Prince Hu Ren to lead the horse for him, and my father might as well let Tuoba Liwei lead the horse for you." ”
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and said: "Ziwen can not only fight now, but also speak, and when he speaks, he has a quarrel, no wonder the saint always looks at Ziwen with admiration." ”
Cao Zhang replied: "That's because my father and the gentlemen taught me well. ”
Cao Cao said: "Ziwen, Feng Xiao expects that the sons of the Yuan family will inevitably fight in this year, because Yuan Shao's strategist Guo Tu is a person who is keen on fighting for power, and will inevitably instigate their master to annex his brother, and plan to go out in person for his father in the coming year to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but you, Ziwen, this time you don't want to go out with the army again, because your father wants you to take the Jinwu army to sit in Xudu, and preside over internal affairs with Wen Ruo, as for the "Qingmiao Law" you implemented in the north It seems very good for your father, you and Wen Ruo discuss and discuss, and then let your uncle preside, Let's roll it out in the states! ”
The father went out to fight, the son sat in the rear, this is the process that the prince must go through, Cao Cao's arrangement has fully demonstrated his attitude, Cao Zhang is the first choice to succeed his great cause, under normal circumstances, the abolition of the long and young is not tolerated by the world and scholars, but the situation of the Cao family is special, because the eldest son Cao Ang died, there is no eldest son, and Cao Zhang's merits are too much more than Cao Pi, just burning the black nest, resulting in Yuan Shao's defeat of a military exploit, it is enough to be proud of the three armies.
So Cao Cao made the right choice after affirming that Cao Zhang could be on his own, at this moment, Cao Zhang's face was not shocked, and he did not show an ecstatic look, but he was still very excited in his heart, after all, he had taken the most important step.
has been affirmed by Cao Cao, it can be said that half of the country has been won, how can this not be excited? However, Cao Zhang still replied calmly: "The child is ordered!" ”
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Ziwen, the number of headaches for my father is increasing, alas! As a father, I don't know how far I can help you go, so now you have to go by yourself. ”
Cao Zhang nodded heavily. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
