Chapter 577: Stop at the Huai River
In the evening, Cao Hong took the guards to Cao's mansion for a banquet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Xuzhou is really rich in the world, although it has gone through the war, the streets are still lined with shops. At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the flaming red lanterns illuminated the surroundings red.
Cao Mansion is located in the middle of the street, which is the most prosperous area of Pengcheng, and the adjacent families are all families. Today's Cao Mansion is a little more annoying than in the past, the front of the door is already full of traffic, the guests in the hall are endless, and the entire Cao Mansion is brightly lit.
When Cao Hong arrived at Cao's Mansion, a large group of people rushed out of Cao's Mansion, starting with his father Cao Dafu, followed by the Cao clan. The other heads of the family could only stand by from afar, looking at Cao Dafu with envy and hatred on their faces.
At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly discuss that my own children were not angry, why didn't anyone learn from Cao Hong back then!
Since the news of Cao Hong's appointment as the governor of Xuzhou came, the Xuzhou family has been boiling, and some old things have been re-turned and discussed, but the evaluation is diametrically opposite to the early years.
Cao Hong has changed from the unscrupulous descendants of the Cao family to the most promising children of the Cao family, while other people who succumbed to the pressure of the family have become negative teaching materials and become synonymous with 'timidity' and 'cowardice'.
Although people often say that heroes are not judged by success or failure, the code of conduct is the opposite.
When Cao Hong saw his gray-haired father, his eyes suddenly became sour, and tears almost flowed out. After so many years, he has long been relieved that he was evicted from his home. And as he gained more experience, he understood the decisions made by his family more clearly.
Therefore, Cao Hong never wanted to humiliate his family, so when he saw his father Cao Dafu, he dismounted far away, stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
"The child is not filial, and he has not been home to see his father for many years."
Looking at his heroic son kneeling in front of him, Cao Dafu's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, tears couldn't stop flowing. It wasn't until others reminded him that he picked up Cao Hong in a panic.
As everyone walked into the hall, the Liaodong guards occupied key places one after another and took on the duty of vigilance. Seeing that his son was surrounded by mighty and majestic Liaodong guards, Cao Dafu was full of pride in his heart, and at the same time full of confidence in the future of the Cao family.
The dishes have gone through three rounds, and the wine has passed five flavors. When the atmosphere at the banquet reached its warmest, I saw Cao Dafu, the head of the Cao family, slowly put down the wine bottle, coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, the old man is a mediocre person, he has lived in the position of the head of the Cao family for many years without any achievements, and he has long had the intention to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, but over the years, the children of the Cao family have been unscrupulous, and no one can take on the heavy responsibility of the Cao family. ”
"Fortunately, God did not give up, so that the best son of my Cao family, Cao Hong, the dog, returned to the Cao family. My son Cao Hong followed under the command of Da Sima in his early years, and now he has been awarded the post of governor and sits in Xuzhou, so that my Cao's lintel can be magnified. ”
"Seeing Hong'er have this achievement, as a father, I am quite grateful, but also feel ashamed. Today, while all the celebrities are here, I intend to give up the position of head of the family to my son Cao Hong. ”
"Ahem...... Cough! Cao Dafu was a little excited, and he couldn't help coughing violently. He was not alone in making today's decision, and the rest of the Cao family agreed to hand over the Cao family to Cao Hong.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Cao family made such a decision, the Cao family belonged to the Liaodong family after joining the Liaodong family, and had heard a lot about the policies of Liaodong, and Cao Dafu did not have the confidence to lead the family to rise in Liaodong.
The Cao family believes that only by letting Cao Hong, who is extremely familiar with the policies of Liaodong and adapts well to Liaodong, take the position, the Cao family will not be eliminated.
It took a long time for Cao Dafu to catch his breath and said: "Besides, the old man has been sick for a long time, and he has long lost the energy to lead the family to rise. On the contrary, my son Cao Hong is young and promising, with a long-term vision, and is the best candidate to succeed the head of the family. Therefore, I decided to entrust the Cao family to him, and I hope that Hong'er will not shirk it, so that I can turn a blind eye to my death. ”
As soon as Cao Dafu's words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, and without waiting for Cao Hong to say anything, he continued: "My son Cao Hong is heroic and heroic, and everyone in the family is respectful. Leaving the family to Hong'er to take care of is a decision I made after careful consideration, and I hope that Hong'er will take over the burden of revitalizing the Cao family for the sake of his father's inability. ”
Looking at his father and the elders of the family, who had high hopes for him, Cao Hong's words that he was about to refuse could no longer be spoken. As a general who has guarded Xuzhou for many years, how can he not know the predicament of his family? It is not an exaggeration to say that the Cao family is facing a life-and-death dilemma.
Now that I finally see the hope of rising in Cao Hong, the family elders will never give up, and Cao Hong, as a child of the Cao family, will never ignore this, so he can only take on this important responsibility.
Looking at Cao Hong, who bowed slightly, Cao Dafu was finally relieved. And the other families are only left with envy, jealousy and hatred, who let their family not have a Cao Hong?
……
"Now that everyone has arrived, let's hurry up and discuss the matter."
Then Wei Shuo pointed his hand at Guo Yu and ordered: "Tell me, let's talk about the situation in Huainan first." ”
"No!" Guo Yu got up and skillfully opened the document and read it, now he has gradually become familiar with the work of the secretary and supervisor, and with the release of Huang Fuzhen, he gradually became the third young man to take charge of the secretary and supervisor.
As an extremely important position around Wei Shuo, the secretary and supervisor are secretly coveted by many people, especially the most attractive to young scholars. Because everyone knows that Da Sima likes to promote young people to be secretaries and supervisors.
After the news of Huangfu Zhen's imminent resignation, many young scholars tried to recommend themselves to Da Sima through various connections. However, no one expected that the position of secretary and supervisor fell to Guo Yu, and for a time Guo Yu became a figure in Liaodong Dongyun.
"Now along the line of the Huai River, tens of thousands of troops have been deployed in Jiangdong, which are under the command of Su Jun, Guo Mo, and Zu Yue, and at the same time, there are Jiangdong sailors to help. The three armies of Liaodong were all blocked by the Huai River and lacked the cover of the water division, so they temporarily stopped at the front line of the Huai River. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect these three people to have something to do with me in Liaodong, Zu Yue and Su Jun didn't say it, they all bought a lot of ordnance from Liaodong back then. This little-known Guo Mo is also from a strong background, originally served under my uncle, and later did not want to join Liaodong, so he moved south to Jiangzuo when Sizhou was merged into Youzhou, but he did not expect to become a roadblock for our army today. ”
"Humph! What roadblocks? It's just a clown! ”
Wei Shuo waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, touched his chin and said: "The dense water network in Huainan will make the cavalry troops, which are the biggest reliance of my Liaodong, useless, and it will be difficult to capture Huainan without the help of the water division." ”
"At the beginning, Shi Le's success was very accidental, do you think there will be people in Jiangdong who drink and make mistakes?"
"In my opinion, before the arrival of the naval division, the army temporarily suspended military operations against Huainan."
"Well, the lord's discussion is very appropriate, but the front-line soldiers should be dissatisfied again." Wen Qiao also agreed to suspend the recovery of Huainan.
"If you are dissatisfied, you have to stop acting, otherwise you are joking with the lives of the soldiers. The Jiangdong Navy Division is by no means a vain person, and without the help of the Navy Division, it is really not suitable for the army to act in Huainan. ”
Mo Han continued: "In addition, in July, Huainan was rainy and muddy, and many northern soldiers showed symptoms of water and soil adaptation. The minister suggested that we might as well take this opportunity to rest and recuperate, and take the rectification of Huaibei as the key. ”
Wei Shuo bowed slightly, agreeing with Mo Han's proposal, "Well, this is reasonable, our army has expanded too quickly recently, and it only took half a month to recover the vast territory of Huaibei, and it really takes time to rectify the place." ”
"It takes time to implement the uniform land system, eradicate the dock forts, crack down on local tyrants, etc., and only when we have a solid foundation can we have the ability to expand outward."
"The lord is right, Liaodong has always paid attention to steady and steady progress, with this policy, Liaodong has successfully eradicated all the Hulu, and now the general trend is set, there is no need to worry."
"Lord, you really wanted to go over and surrender them?"
"Who's coming? Zu Yue, Su Jun? Hum! These three people's hearts are higher than the sky, how can they look down on me Liaodong"
"Hahaha" Wei Shuo's words caused everyone to laugh, and it can be seen that after eliminating Shile, Liaodong is like a boulder in his heart, and it suddenly becomes a lot easier. (To be continued.) )
