Chapter 448: The Cao Family's Plans
Rendezvous.
The eyes of the entire Central Plains have been set on the Heavenly and Human County, as the eternal center of the Central Plains, the monks in the Dragon Capital are naturally also very concerned about what happened in the Heavenly and Human County, especially at this time.
Longdu, Emerald Mountain, Cao's family.
It may not be considered prestigious outside the Dragon Capital, after all, the big forces in the Dragon Capital, except for the royal family, which is known to everyone in the entire Central Plains, the rest of the big families are not as famous as those county kings, and even the Marquis of the Central Plains with outstanding combat power. It's just that the real high-level people know very well what kind of power the Cao family on the Jade Mountain represents.
Cao Tianpet, the contemporary head of the Cao family. As a powerful family of the thirteen families guarding Tianchi, the Cao family has been able to develop stronger and stronger over the years, and a considerable part of the reason is because of Cao Tianpet's existence. Although Cao Tianpet is not the strongest person in the Cao family, he is definitely the real decision-maker now.
Sitting on the Emerald Mountain and watching the scenery below, Cao Tianpet always had a faint smile on his face, and below him sat several elders of the Cao family, these people were also some strong people who could be called famous in Longdu. Among the elders, a few young newcomers of the Cao family are now sitting excitedly, and being able to sit with the head of the family is definitely a very exciting thing for these young powerhouses.
"Qiao Haisheng, is it the king of the Central Plains?" Cao Tianpet suddenly said as if jokingly.
Although it was an unclear sentence, the elders and young powerhouses of the Cao family all thought about it immediately, although these people were all majestic figures outside, but they were all careful in front of Cao Tianpet, even if he racked his brains to understand a word, for fear that there would be a little bit of a difference.
Seeing everyone's thoughts sinking like water, Cao Tianpet smiled and said, "Today is just talking together, and there is no other meaning." β
Hearing Cao Tianzhu's words, the Great Elder of the Cao Family on his right hand first glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "Isn't the family master used to the approach of the King of Lanhai County?"
Cao Tianpet shook his head: "The family is the king of the county, I am just the head of the family, what can I do if I can't get used to his approach?" Having said that, no matter Cao Tianpet or the other people around him, no one seemed to think so, Cao Tianpet then continued: "Qiao Haisheng really did too much this time, his generals did the slaughter of the city, and they naively thought that they could kill some people and pay some spirit stones to atone for their crimes, did they really forget the rules set by their ancestors, they didn't come to Longdu for too long, so they really think they can do whatever they want, right?" β
Although Cao Tianpet's tone of voice was very flat, anyone could hear his dissatisfaction, for such a situation, the elders of the Cao family all looked at him curiously, you must know that the head of the family has always only paid attention to two things, one is the battle of the Xuan Realm, and the other is his own cultivation, he almost never asks about the situation in the Central Plains, how can he talk about the war in the Central Plains in a dignified manner today, and even named some reactions of Qiao Haisheng, the king of Lanhai County.
Cao Tianpet's abnormal expression made these Cao family members forget what he had just said, "I'm just talking today", and immediately began to rack their brains again.
A bald man sitting at the bottom was also nervously thinking, this person was the red-robed man who had gone to Lanhai County to transmit the voice of the king of Lanhai County to Longdu, this person was named Cao Yu, the real leader of the younger generation of the Cao family. After hearing the words of the head of the family today, and thinking about the situation of the Cao family now, Cao Yu groped for his bald head and faintly guessed something.
After looking left and right for a while, Cao Yu finally strengthened his courage and said: "Family master, in my opinion, a gambler like the county king of Lanhai is still not suitable to be the county king of the Central Plains after all. β
Everyone was groaning, and suddenly heard someone talking, and immediately looked over, and after seeing that it was Cao Yu, all the elders looked at it with a smile, after all, they were very optimistic about this junior of the Cao family, but the other young monks around Cao Yu couldn't help but be a little indignant, and the monks of the same generation naturally didn't want to see Cao Yu show too much limelight.
Cao Tianpet looked at Cao Yu with a smile and said, "Gambler, well, this statement is very good, then what do you think of Qiao Haisheng's insistence on fighting a decisive battle with Tianren County?"
Now that he has been exported, Cao Yu can no longer retreat, and immediately said very calmly: "The king of Lanhai County has to fight when he knows that the dragon capital is dissatisfied with them, not necessarily because he is not clear about the ancestral training, he is just gambling, and the gambling dragon capital is not very dissatisfied with him, so he desperately wants to find back the lost things in Tianren County, this kind of practice is not what the superior should do." β
Cao Yu's words are very reasonable, being in the top position, considering things naturally needs to start from the overall situation, if the king of Lanhai County is just a commander, he wants to fight once, snatch back all the losses before or simply take revenge, which is also understandable, but he is the king of a county, what he wants to do is not to care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, let alone the victory or defeat of a certain war.
This time his expedition to Tianren County was certainly a major event related to the luck of the entire Lanhai County, but in fact, from the beginning of the war to the present, the loss of Lanhai County was that many monks had died, and it did not hurt the roots. If there was no incident of Lu Zhen slaughtering the city, he would naturally be as he loved, but since there was an incident of Lu Zhen slaughtering the city, and Cao Yu and the others had already spread the voice that the dragon capital was very dissatisfied with him, but he still resisted the pressure given by the dragon capital and attacked it, which was too unwise.
What he wants to think about is the stability of the entire Lanhai County, and it shouldn't be because he lost a battle, he has to take all the Lanhai County monks and people to fight hard, in order to save face, a county king, should never use the stability of the entire county government to fight for face.
It's just that although what Cao Yu said is very correct, but who can sit here doesn't understand this, at first I thought that Cao Yu was the Cao family with some high opinions, although his face did not change, but his eyes were somewhat disappointed. A few of the junior city mansions of the Cao family were not enough after all, and they even smiled slightly. Talking this nonsense in front of the head of the house is worse than not talking.
Cao Tianpet didn't look different, just smiled and said, "Well, then what?"
Cao Tianpet said the three words "then", and everyone looked at Cao Yu again, but Cao Yu actually smiled confidently and said: "I think that the king of Lanhai County openly regarded the ancestral training as nothing, and after slaughtering the city, not only did he not take the initiative to admit punishment, but also insisted on an expedition, which is already a matter of anger and resentment." In view of this, the Cao family, as the guardian of Tianchi, should send troops on an expedition for Tianxing Dao to stop the atrocities of the king of Lanhai County. β
Hearing Cao Yu's words, even some of the elders of the Cao family couldn't help frowning, and several Cao family juniors couldn't help but show a little schadenfreude in their eyes, saying in their hearts that Cao Yu, this kid, couldn't have a problem with his cultivation brain, and he could even say such a thing as doing things for the heavens, this kind of stupid idea would be ridiculous just thinking about it, and he even took it out here and said it in front of the head of the family?
But when everyone was frowning or mocking, they didn't realize that Cao Tianzhong's eyes flashed with a gleam, and they still asked calmly: "Then what?"
"And then?" Everyone was shocked to see that the head of the family was so patient.
Cao Yu was overjoyed when he caught the light in Cao Tianpet's eyes, and this time he said with great confidence: " Although I don't know why the Celestial County suddenly emptied its troops after the conquest of Shu County, but now they are indeed at a disadvantage, the king of Lanhai County did such an atrocity in the Celestial County, but they have no ability to seek justice, since they are unable to do it, we should help them do it, so we should draw a Xuanjie army and send all of them to the Celestial County to help the Celestial County protect their territory, in order to avoid the thief of Lanhai County, I think we should be stationed for at least a hundred years, and wait until the Celestial County is completely restored before our people withdrawγ β
"Send troops to Tianren County?" Hearing Cao Yu's words, although those juniors were still gloating, several elders were shocked, and their eyes became different when they looked at Cao Yu again.
At this moment, they knew what Cao Yu was doing now, and after being surprised, they were even more impressed by Cao Yu's ability to guess what was going on in the heart of the family master.
Sure enough, after listening to Cao Yu's construction, Cao Tianpet finally showed a satisfied smile, and after laughing three times, he said: "Just do what you say, our Cao family needs to do something practical for the Central Plains." 300,000 monks were dispatched to help them administer justice in the Celestial Counties, oh, by the way, it was for the sake of the Heavens. Well, it's good for Tianxingdao, Cao Yu, you are also very good. β
Leaving the few confused young monks, Cao Tianpet walked away with his hands behind his back. The elders who reacted first now also walked up to Cao Yu with complicated faces and praised him, and they had already begun to treat Cao Yu as an ordinary generation.
Cao Yu endured the excitement in his heart and laughed with those elders, but he had already laughed in his heart, this time he finally showed his face in front of the head of the family, Cao Yu knew that his status in the Cao family would definitely soar in the future, and even this expedition would definitely be in an important position.
The eldest elder Cao Cong frowned and walked, and his eldest grandson Cao Hui followed him step by step, but while walking, Cao Hui couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know what's wrong with the head of the family today, Cao Yu's kid just said a few crazy words nonsense, and he can get such a good praise, it can't be that Cao Yu's kid gave the head of the family any benefits, so the head of the family praised him so much in front of us." β
Cao Cong was already very irritable, and when he heard Cao Hui's words, he suddenly became angry, turned around and roared angrily: "Shut up, things that don't grow, dare to criticize the head of the family, do you want to find death?"
"Grandpa?" Cao Hui was yelled at by Cao Cong, and was suddenly stupid in place, Cao Hui is also an elite store among the younger generation of the Cao family, and he has always been valued by his grandfather, but he didn't expect to be yelled at by him like this today.
After Cao Cong roared, he saw that Cao Hui still had puzzlement on his face, and suddenly hated iron even more and said: "Think about it slowly, when will you come to see me when you think it through." After speaking, Cao Cong shook his hand and walked away.
The reason why Cao Cong is so angry is not entirely because his eldest grandson did not show off in front of the head of the family like Cao Yu, he was also angry with himself, he really believed that the head of the family said that he just wanted to talk, and he didn't think so deeply about the words of the head of the family, but it made Cao Yu a junior out of the limelight. But when he thought of what Cao Yu said, he had to admit that Cao Yu was really comprehensive.
This conversation seemed to be Cao Yu saying something that everyone understood, but he was praised by Cao Tianpet. However, Cao Yu's final proposal to send troops to Tianren County was really to the point.
Although the Cao family is also an old and powerful family, as the guardian of Tianchi, it is also the top layer of the dragon capital. But among the thirteen families, the Cao family is actually the least qualified. Since ancient times, those who can challenge the status of the Thirteen Families are often not the inherent forces in Longdu, but the Central Plains County Kings that they look down on.
For hundreds of years, the situation in the Central Plains has been relatively stable, and although the Shu King family is dominant, it is only relatively financially abundant. But Li Mingyang's rise was so fast that even a county king like the King of Shu was completely defeated by him in only a few months. After the birth of the Tianren County, those Central Plains County kings who were adjacent to the Tianren County were certainly worried, but in fact, the Tianchi guardians in the Dragon Capital should be even more worried.
The Celestial and Human Counties have developed too fast, and the combat power they showed in the Great War is too terrifying, especially the Sharp Knife Team, which makes the Cao family even more frightened. After reaching that level, in fact, there is no point in expanding the Heavenly and Human County outward, and instead of fighting the Heavenly Fury and resentment in the Central Plains, it is actually better to develop the Xuan Realm and conquer the Xuan Realm.
Therefore, the Celestial Monarchy is destined to be unable to continue to develop the Central Plains forces, and according to rumors, the Celestial Magistrate County not only has a completely controlled Xuan Realm, but also has the full help of the Long Ting Army, which is what worries the guardians of the Tianchi the most.
Cao Cong should have thought of this a long time ago, the combination of the Jinzhu Army and the Long Ting Army is not only the combination of the strongest combat power and the greatest wealth, but also the combination of ambition and resources. Judging from Cao Tianpet's reaction today, it has been proved that the head of the family has thought of the most terrifying point - the Jinzhu Army may challenge Longdu!
If the Jinzhu Army really challenged the Dragon Capital and competed for the family status of the guardian of Tianchi, although the thirteen families were defending together, as the Cao family with the most shallow background, they would definitely be under the greatest pressure. Once the Jinzhu Army is really challenged successfully, their Cao family is most likely to be kicked out.
"The head of the family is also worried about this happening. Cao Cong muttered, and then remembered Cao Yu's plan today, Cao Cong's fist clenched unconsciously: "Well, send troops, you must send troops, Tianren County must continue to mess up, let them come to their senses, we will be in danger." β
