When Wang Shuang and the others quietly evacuated for two hours, Sima Yi's assassination was discovered by his own soldiers, which immediately caused an uproar in the camp, Sima Yi was the backbone of these 3,000 personal soldiers, and suddenly lost their leader, and they immediately fell into boundless panic.

They found that not only did they have no source of supplies, but they had completely become an isolated and helpless army, whether they were bumped into by the elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty or the Wei soldiers of Cao Cao, they could not escape the fate of death. After a period of extreme panic, the three thousand soldiers finally dispersed, each took off his armor, threw away his weapons, and fled in all directions.

On the other hand, Cao Cao completed the reorganization of the military camp where Sima Yi was originally stationed, and more than 100,000 soldiers in the camp were originally subordinate to the Wei State, and most of them returned to Cao Cao's camp under Cao Cao's edict. However, before they can return to Cao Cao, they must prove their loyalty with their own actions - showing their butcher's knives to Sima Yi's old subordinates and completely exterminating the remnants of Sima Yi's forces.

So, in the Wei army camp on the border between the Central Plains and Jizhou, two groups of Wei soldiers wearing the same clothes and armor and holding the same weapons launched a life-and-death infighting, and when the more than 30,000 Wei soldiers who were inclined to Sima Yi were completely wiped out, the Wei soldiers who were ready to return to Cao Cao also paid nearly 40,000 lives. As a result, the original team of 100,000 people was reduced to 40,000 after this fierce battle.

In order to ensure the resistance to Jizhou, Cao Cao left all the 50,000 troops he brought, and re-put the crippled Cao Ren in the position of commander, and he commanded the 90,000 troops to take Sima Yi's place and sit on the border of the two states. At the same time, Cao Cao also kept Xiahoudun and Li Jin, and let them serve as Cao Ren's deputies to build the northernmost defense line in the Central Plains.

After arranging the arming. Cao Cao then led the remaining generals back to Xuchang, and he had to return to Xuchang as soon as possible, and then issue an edict to recruit troops throughout the country, raise grain and grass, and actively prepare for war. Because Cao Cao knew in his heart that he was now surrounded by Ao Lie, to put it bluntly, he was already a turtle in the urn, if he did not accumulate grain and grass and train soldiers and horses, wait for Ao Lie to finish training the recruited recruits. Then you're in big trouble. Therefore, everything must be prepared for a rainy day, put it on the agenda as soon as possible, pass the buffer period of preparing for war as soon as possible, and build a solid defense line in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Wei.

Ten days later, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang. He even omitted the time to sit down and drink saliva, picked up the pen directly, and issued three edicts one after another.

The first edict, Cao Cao in the name of the king of Wei. He demanded an expansion of 800,000 troops throughout the country, and ordered generals at all levels to train these 800,000 recruits into an army within half a year to deal with the threat of the newly established five major army corps of the Northern Han Dynasty.

In the second edict, Cao Cao issued a conscription order again. In the four states of the Central Plains, a large number of talents were recruited, and the recruitment criteria were slightly relaxed, in order to form the backbone of the entire system again in the shortest possible time.

The third edict. It's a conscription of money and food. In order to offset the deterrent effect brought by the five major armies of the Northern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao had to pay his soldiers a generous salary, which brought about the problem of money and food. Almost emptied the treasury of Wei, so that Cao Cao had no money left in his hand, so Cao Cao changed the policy of recuperation and recuperation that he had insisted on implementing for several years, and convened Cheng Yu, Xun You and others to formulate a new taxation law, making the most stringent taxation system since the establishment of Wei.

After issuing the three edicts, Cao Cao also gave Yue Xi and Cao Xiu the task of re-forming the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guards, requiring them to complete the task of forming within half a year, and they could not reduce the combat effectiveness of these two elite troops because of the rush of time, at least not lower than the combat effectiveness of the elite troops in the first phase.

In the next ten days, Cao Cao slept and ate, and always dealt with all kinds of military and political affairs in his palace hall, resting for up to three hours a day, and setting an example for all aspects of the country that needed to be rectified. In the past ten days, Cao Cao unexpectedly discovered that his second son Cao Pi had a level far beyond ordinary people in handling political affairs; The fourth son, Cao Zhang, is very brave, not only skilled in martial arts, but also has the demeanor of a famous general in governing the army. In the period of extreme shortage of talents in the country, Cao Cao immediately promoted his two sons unusually, and often gave them guidance when dealing with important military and political affairs, and sometimes even threw some things that were not very important to them directly, and Cao Cao finally only looked at whether the results were satisfactory.

The rapid growth of the two sons led Cao Cao to the idea of digging talents within the family, and when it comes to the talents of the family, I am afraid that no family can compare with the Cao family (including the Xiahou family) today, and the talents within the family are always more loyal than those with foreign surnames, which Cao Cao has always been proud of.

So, under Cao Cao's deliberate excavation, his other son Cao Zhi, nephew Cao Zhen, Xiahoudun's son Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei and other more than a dozen younger generations of family children took advantage of the situation, quickly entered the leadership of Cao Wei Group, and gradually grasped part of the power, forming the second echelon of the Cao family, and Cao Cao's generation, perfectly formed a link.

In the cultivation of future generations, Cao Cao can be said to have spared no effort, and all the children who have the potential to become leaders have been carefully cultivated by Cao Cao. At the same time, the descendants of these families did not disappoint Cao Cao, with Cao Pi and Cao Zhang as the core figures of the two civil and military systems, respectively, closely united, assisted Cao Cao in handling national affairs, and shared a lot of affairs for Cao Cao.

It is also important to mention one point here, perhaps because Zhen Mi became Ao Lie's wife, or because he felt that the current situation was unfavorable to Cao Wei's regime, the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi did not appear to be as opposed to each other as in history, but became close and worked together to help their common father Cao Cao handle government affairs, which made Cao Cao feel very gratified.

After being busy for more than a month, Cao Cao felt extremely tired because he was no longer young, the old disease of the head wind flared up again, and the feeling of splitting headache was heavier day by day. After a few days of taking the medication, the headache has subsided slightly, but it is still not completely gone.

Cao Cao's pain was seen by his son Cao Pi. Cao Pi is actually a very scheming person, he is bent on one day, he can inherit the mantle of his father Cao Cao and become the king of a country. But in front of Cao Cao, he didn't dare to show his true thoughts, and he didn't even dare to fully show his talent, so as not to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion. In this regard, he is much stronger than the third brother Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi has no understanding of this at all, no matter what he does, he has to be sharp, although Cao Cao praises Cao Zhi's talent, but in his heart he may not think so.

At the beginning of Cao Cao's head wind, Cao Pi thought about how to help his father alleviate the pain, on the one hand, he sent people around to find a famous doctor who specializes in treating head wind; On the other hand, Cao Pi also set his sights on Cao Cao's life. Cao Cao is the most lustful, when he has a headache, of course, he can't spoil a woman, but now the headache is slightly reduced, and he has been busy with political affairs for a long time, which has long made him a little unbearable to the desire in his heart. Cao Pi could also feel some of Cao Cao's thoughts, so Cao Pi secretly found Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua and prepared to dedicate Zhang Chunhua to Cao Cao.

When the Sima family was raided, Zhang Chunhua only survived, she was in a coma due to the pain of losing her son, and it was not until Xun You entered the house to check the situation of the house that Zhang Chunhua was found dead. It happened that Cao Pi came to see the excitement when he had nothing to do, and when he saw Zhang Chunhua's outstanding appearance, he took Zhang Chunhua away, in order to be able to dedicate her to Cao Cao one day and win his father's favor. You need to know that Cao Cao likes a mature woman like Zhang Chunhua the most.

Two days later, Cao Pi found an opportunity and took Zhang Chunhua to Cao Cao's bedroom. When Cao Cao saw Zhang Chunhua for the first time, the headache that had plagued him for a long time was cured without medicine. In addition, after tasting Zhang Chunhua's attractive and mature body, Cao Cao had a big heart, and on the second day, he ordered Cao Pi to be the son of the family and moved into the east hall of the palace to live, officially becoming the leader of the second generation of the Cao family, and a man of the hour in political and military affairs.

In the face of Cao Cao's reward, Cao Pi worked harder to repay his father, replacing Cao Cao as the busiest person in Cao Wei's regime, dealing with national affairs in the east hall all day long, with the help of a group of civil and military ministers, quickly straightened out all aspects of the context, although his way of dealing with affairs was slightly green, but this did not affect the final result. Cao Cao's views on everything were perfectly implemented.

With the efforts of two generations of the Cao family and all the civil and military officials from top to bottom of the Wei state, the Cao Wei regime gradually came out of the shadow of turmoil, and the internal and external troubles were resolved to a certain extent, forming a united front with the outside world. The Northern Han regime of Yin and Ao Lie formed a trend of resistance.

At the same time, with the arrival of 800,000 new soldiers, the national military strength of Wei has become much stronger, and once the 800,000 new army is trained into an army, plus the original army of nearly one million, Cao Cao will have the capital to compete with Ao Lie again.
