Cao Cao said a few words, outside the ancestral hall, there was silence, the young people's faces were excited, and the older people looked at each other a few times, and the bottom of their eyes was appreciation.

There are people in this world who are born to accomplish great things.

Because they have a great character that ordinary people do not have, the will to persevere, never give up, and the quality of daring to be the first and not afraid of difficulties, are some of them.

Cao Cao is such a person, he has many characters that can only be possessed by people who do great things, such as persistence, such as persistence.

Most things in this world are clear from God's point of view, and what should be done is clear, and latecomers can always judge a person's wisdom at will.

But in fact, in that environment full of darkness and fog, I don't know whether there is an opportunity or a danger ahead, how many people dare to do something firmly?

It is easy to talk about the matter of raising troops and serving the king, but it is extremely difficult to do.

It is unimaginable how many resources are expended to build an army capable of fighting, and it is no exaggeration to call it a Gold Eater.

Moreover, when an army is formed, there is always a war, and it is easy to say that it will win.

As long as the war is defeated, all investments will be in vain, and you will lose everything in an instant.

Even with the background of the Cao clan, if the Qinwang Army is formed, it will experience two defeats at most.

If there is more, the whole family will go bankrupt, and the family is a complex of political and economic groups linked by blood relations, and without the family capital, it is only a matter of time before the family is completely defeated.

Why don't those top nobles fight alone, but support the princes?

Could it be that the power of the princes is too great?

Or is the throne not fragrant?

Why don't you invest in a certain prince by yourself, but pull the scholars of your county and state to invest together?

Is it a good hope that others will share in their own gains and power?

Of course not!

It is to minimize the losses caused by failure on the premise of ensuring power dividends, and to pull a few more investments, the greater the probability of success, and the lower the probability of investment coming to naught.

It is no exaggeration that a top scholar clan could not withstand several defeats of the princes.

According to the law of survival of the scholars, Cao Cao's behavior was inappropriate.

Because the Cao family is no longer the kind of ordinary Haoqiang who needs to put the lives of the whole family on the line.

Only those who have a low status will use their lives to win an unknown future.

But this is the charm of Cao Cao, he is not a gambler, but clearly tells people what the family should do, what the family should do.

Cao Cao's words resounded in everyone's ears, "Because of the first Han Xiaocheng Emperor's love for the family, he was able to become noble, and now the Han Society is in danger, can the family sit idly by?" ”

I, Cao Mengde, want to serve the monarch and guard the Han Society, are you willing to follow?

This deafening sound echoed between the ancestral shrines and outside, and in such an environment, it seemed that the ancestors of the Cao family were talking.

In questioning!

Do you still remember, why did my Cao clan prosper?

It's Emperor Xiaocheng!

"I am willing to follow my brother, serve the emperor, and defend the Han family!"

When the first brother got down on one knee, it was not just the courtesy between brothers, but the courtier's courtesy to the monarch, and everything changed.

The best children of the family were willing to follow him, shouting in unison.

The elder's brows were loose, the greatest resource of a family is people, when the future of a family is willing to follow him.

What are those so-called money and food heritage?

Cao Cao's father sighed slightly, and was about to speak, when he heard a loud voice, "Meng De said it well!" ”

The Cao family turned their heads or turned around to look, only to see a group of people walking in, old and young, or wearing crown clothes, or wearing strong clothes.

Everyone is familiar with this line of people, the Cao family, and it is another big family in Qian County, the Xiahou family.

Seeing the people of the Xiahou family, everyone of the Cao family smiled on their faces, and the head of the Cao family greeted him and asked the head of the Xiahou family about his intentions.

The ancestor of the Xiahou clan was the hero of the founding of the country, the Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahou Ying, and the Xiahou clan, which is still active today, no matter which county it is, without exception, it is a branch.

The Xiahou clan was prominent for hundreds of years, and then experienced a hundred years of decline, and continued to eat the old books of their ancestors until the end of the Han Dynasty, and then they separated and lived in the counties.

The Xiahou clan of Pei County is a local wealthy family, and because there is no family tradition, it is not a scholar family.

However, the Xiahou clan is considered a general, has a complete method of cultivating generals, and has a wide range of fields, which is very prosperous in Qian County.

The Xiahou clan and the Cao clan married each other, and the relationship between them was intricate, almost a family.

It can be said that if the emperor wants to raze the three clans, the Xiahou clan will not be able to escape.

After greeting the head of the Xiahou family and the head of the Cao family, he walked directly towards Cao Cao, looking at Cao Cao, who was not tall, but his face was full of pride, he patted Cao Cao's shoulder with admiration in his eyes and said: "The Cao family has a son like Meng De, and it is going to prosper."

With a son like you, you can save yourself before the Taiping Army.

It's a pity that my Xiahou clan doesn't have a son like you.

What you said just now Meng De is very good, the family is established with loyalty, and the Xiahou family has received the emperor's grace, so how can it be left behind?

The matter of King Qin must not be left behind.

Nephew Meng Dexian, look at your brothers, who do you like, I will let them go with you and serve you as the master. ”

As soon as the words of the head of the Xiahou family came out, everyone was shocked in an instant, what he gave to Cao Cao was not just a few children of the Xiahou family, but the investment of the Xiahou family, the connection between the Xiahou family and the Cao family was already very close, and now this is to continue to strengthen!

The head of the Xiahou family didn't think there was anything for himself, he was optimistic about Cao Cao, seeing that even if the Taiping Army rebellion was quelled, all localities would have to support their own troops and form a princely situation.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, if he could get the help of the Xiahou clan, he would be more sure that King Qin would make meritorious contributions.

He was about to contact the Xiahou clan, and he thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect the head of the Xiahou clan to offer to help him.

This made him very moved, and he raised his eyes to look at the brothers of his Cao clan, and then at the people of the Xiahou clan who were smiling, and he was quite emotional for a while.

Sure enough, they are brothers who go into battle, fathers and sons who fight, and if they want to achieve great things, they must rely on their clan brothers.

If after pacifying the Taiping Army, he really became a general of the expedition to the west because of his merits, and he would definitely make more conquests, so that these people would all worship as generals.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately bowed deeply, his face was solemn, and he said like an oath: "Cao Cao will never live up to your trust." ”

……

"The world is in turmoil, the society is in turmoil, the Taiping thief army is everywhere, marching into Luoyang, and the royal family is dying.

, but a man in the county, with a humble reputation, can be obscene, fortunately the emperor's mercy, added as a councilor, and entered the captain.

When the wind is blowing, you can know the strong grass, and on the day of the bandang, you can see the loyal ministers, and there are heroes in the counties who are willing to work with Cao Gongwang?

Cao is willing to scatter all his family wealth, recruit warriors, hold armor, and fight hard to save the Han Dynasty. ”

The three hundred years of the Han Dynasty have made everyone in the world know how precious prestige is.

Cao Cao used to wander between Pei counties, and later went to Luoyang and made a name for himself.

Now the reputation accumulated over the years has finally played a role, and he has shouted among Pei County, coupled with the reputation of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan of Pei County, there are many heroes who have come to him in the county like a carp crossing the river.

There are thousands of young and strong people in the county who have come to join the army, and in the entire Pei County, there are more than 10,000 people who can be recruited.

After the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan made up their minds, Cao Cao sent a heroic post to the entire counties of Pei County, stating that he wanted to build the Qin Wang army and enter the Qin King of Luoyang.

This time it's not to recruit Xiangyong, but to invite the scholars to join and the big heroes to join, and the signal revealed is obvious, what are you waiting for?

Wait for the Taiping army to break through the county seat, and then strip all of you people and loot them?

I, Cao Mengde, how good I can fight, you all know very well, right?

Luoyang's top wealthy family, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family in Runan is my brother.

The five surnames, the prince of Qi and I are called brothers, you should also know.

Several times in Peijun, is there anyone more promising than me?

If you don't come to me yet, wait until the Taiping soldiers come to the city, don't blame me for not saving me when I see death.

Cao Cao's move of pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner produced outstanding results, and all counties enthusiastically joined the army, and the most important thing is that many powerful landlords with a little wealth came to him.

These people had no status in the officialdom in the era of the scholastic gatekeepers, and the commanders were naturally not counted, but many of them were unborn fierce generals, and some people, such as Dian Wei, were not exaggerated in terms of force alone, and even called a sentence of ten thousand enemies.

In this scene, even the lord of a county with two thousand stones, Peijun Taishou can't do it.

You must know that in this era, the county is regarded as the lord of the country, which shows the prestige of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in Pei County, and the importance of Cao Cao's reputation back then!

Everything is ready, raise the banner, and set sail for the king!

Emperor Wu, Pei County and Qianxian people, surnamed Cao, the word Mengde, after the first Han Dynasty, the Hou Hou, the Queen Mother Pei, Pei Xiao Wang with the same mother and brother.

Emperor Wu is young and bold, has the right to skill, lives between Pei County, and is debauched, does not govern the industry, has the style of being a chivalrous man, the clan respects the brothers, and the old Qi is also in the clan, and Emperor Wu said: "Cao Shi has been in a hundred and fifty years, and he has entered the Qilin Zi now, and he can enter the Gongqing?!" ”

Emperor Wu was indignant and said: "The unparalleled Marquis Wuxiang said: 'My husband was born in heaven and earth, and when he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, how can he be depressed between pen and ink.'" ’
