Cao Pi heard Guo Jia so suddenly remembered that Guo Jia died of illness on the road with Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan in history, and now it seems that history has gone to a fork in the road, Cao Cao let himself go to Youzhou, and gave himself the convenience of doing things cheaply, and he tested and led his troops to crusade against the state, indicating that the heavy responsibility of conquering Wuhuan fell on him, and it was obvious that Guo Jia, as Cao Cao's mastermind, would definitely not follow Cao Pi to Youzhou. In this case, it is indeed necessary to consider the practical problem, so he asked: "Is there any room for discussion about the number of troops and baggage?" Or has my father already made a decision? ”
Guo Jia replied: "At this time, it is the final discussion, Sikong wants to allocate 5,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and as for the generals who lead the troops, there are Cao Wenlie and Zhang Wenyuan. and then by the "
Cao Pi nodded slightly when he heard this, but he understood in his heart that although the generals who led the troops this time had a fierce general like Zhang Liao, his strength was not as good as leading the vanguard army to Yecheng, obviously although Cao Cao gave him the power to oversee Youzhou, but he refused to allocate too many troops to Cao Pi, and Guo Jia had not mentioned the heavy matter, which made Cao Pi feel very bad.
I only heard Guo Jia continue: "As for the grain and grass, because General Wen Ze brought 30,000 people to be responsible for the transfer, the grain and grass brought was only enough for the army to eat for a year. There is another point, these 5,000 sergeants, 1,000 tiger and leopard horsemen, and 30,000 people can only be used by Gongzi for two years at most, because these sergeants are all from the Central Plains, and they have been thinking about returning home for a long time, so it is really not easy to stay in the land of Youzhou for a long time. ”
Cao Pi smiled and said: "In this way, within two years, no matter whether I can directly attack the Wuhuan royal court, this army will be returned to the imperial court, and the Wenlie clan brother and General Zhang will go back, to put it bluntly, I, the Youzhou herd, will have to be self-reliant." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "That's right, so Gongzi going to Youzhou is a good opportunity to establish his own foundation, after all, the Youzhou clan with the heart of the Yuan family has followed the Yuan family to Wuhuan, I heard that there are more than 100,000 people who go with them, and those who stay in Youzhou are all people who are interested in the court, regardless of whether they are high or low, if the son can make them the people who want to the son, Youzhou is the son's, and no one can take it away." ”
Cao Pi nodded, understanding what Guo Jia meant, and then asked, "Mr. Fengxiao has not yet been informed about the marching Sima and the scribes. I wonder who is with the army this time? This is the top priority of the march, and the military clerks play a vital role in distributing grain and grass, counting baggage, and recording meritorious deeds, all of which are related to the survivability and morale of a troop, so Cao Pi must ask.
Guo Jia replied: "The marching Sima is Cao Ziwen, the younger brother of the order. There is one of the scribes, named Sima Lang, the word Boda, the Si Liren, the official to the Yuancheng Order, this time it was Sikong himself who named him and asked him to follow Ziwen Gongzi and help him manage the scribes. 【】”
Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Cao Cao to say so well in person, and he was a pastor in Youzhou, but in fact, he used a lot of ways to restrain himself, first of all, the army can only use it for two years, and secondly, the grain and grass for the army to eat is only one year, and that's all, even the marching clerks let their younger brother Cao Zhang, who had just crowned the ceremony, take care of them, Cao Xian will not manage the scribes, but Sima Lang will inevitably be, not only because he is the county commander, but also because he is Sima Yi's own brother. This is clearly that Cao Cao does not want to let himself manage the scribes.
Can't manage the clerical officials, that means that Cao Pi and the sergeant will have such a layer of estrangement, the reason is very simple, the statistics of military merit is the work of the clerical officer, Cao Pi can't manage the clerical officer, then this group of sergeants who will return to the Central Plains sooner or later will naturally not please Cao Pi, who can't judge their military merits, and the head of the clerical officer, the marching Sima Cao Zhang, has become the object of pleasing to all the sergeants in this army.
In this way, no matter how Cao Pi took the lead, used his soldiers like a god, and how many victories he obtained, he could not grasp the military heart, because the statistics of the final merit were in Cao Zhang's hands. Arranging Cao Zhang's in the army is obviously the law of separation of powers, because both of them are Cao Cao's sons, and they are equally noble in status, Cao Pi will not be stupid enough to think that he can make Cao Zhang completely obedient, and then put the scribes into his own hands, Cao Zhang is easy to deal with, but Sima Lang, who followed Cao Zhang, is definitely not easy to deal with, as long as he holds Cao Cao's appointment and decides to fight on the basis of reason, he will definitely not be able to master the scribes, and in the end he will end up with a reputation for disobedience, which will make Cao Cao unhappy, because in doing so, Cao Pi is not an obedient good boy.
"My father really has a heart." Cao Pi said with a smile. Now Cao Pi has understood Cao Cao's general thoughts, and he wants to rely on the talent of his right-hand son, but he doesn't want to give himself too much power, of course, there are reasons why he is sharp in the north, and there are also reasons why Cao Chong cracked the Book of Heaven, which makes Cao Cao feel that he is no longer his only choice.
But Cao Pi knows whether these are the key or not. The point is that so far, Cao Cao is also creating an appearance - making everyone feel that he Cao Pi and Cao Chong have a chance to inherit Cao Cao's mantle, and even in the eyes of others, Cao Chong is more favored by Cao Cao. In this way, those literati who fantasize that one day when Cao Chong is in charge of the government, they can calm the world and retire after success, and the survival of the Han Dynasty will still be used by Cao Cao.
As for the literati generals who followed Cao Cao in the early years, they would not be upset because of Cao Cao's sudden change of attitude towards his son, it was human nature to like the younger son, not to mention that Cao Chong was so smart, so kind, and so likable.
Now Cao Cao wants to establish three stations in Yecheng, undoubtedly to build a political center, this step will inevitably be disgusted by the people who are interested in the Han family, but Cao Chong's birth has made the people who are oriented to the Han family see hope again, so they will choose to be silent, first, Cao Cao is strong, and now it is useless to do anything, and second, the world is undecided, they are not used by Cao Cao, and the Han family is likely to be divided, and third, they can gather under Cao Chong to build momentum for Cao Chong, inherit Cao Cao's mantle, and save the country.
Cao Cao set up his foundation in Yecheng at the same time to send himself to Youzhou, sealed Youzhou pastoral, and used a lot of restrictions, in the eyes of anyone, is to favor Cao Chong, but also to appease Cao Pi's performance, and Cao Chong, who stayed in Yecheng, is obviously more favored by Cao Cao.
This action can minimize the negative impact of being based in Yecheng, and I have to say that Cao Cao is a big expert who plays with people's hearts. Cao Pi's sentence "I have a heart." It is the exclamation that comprehends its intentions. As for whether Cao Cao is now the eldest son of the ancestral hall, Cao Pi, or Cao Chong. Cao Pi couldn't guess it, maybe Cao Cao himself didn't know which son he preferred, but this traitor knew very well that after doing so, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and others would not overreact because of the construction of Yecheng....
Don't underestimate the heroes of the world! Cao Pi secretly admonished himself in his heart. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
