Chapter 188: The Next Target

The next day, Cao Chao opened his eyes and faintly felt a headache.

Over the years, Cao Chao has never really been drunk, and every time he feels a little drunk, he pretends to be drunk and then leaves as soon as possible.

As a king, he must always be calm and sober.

In the past, he was worried that he would show his stuff and give the enemy a handle when he was drunk, but later, he was worried that he would give an edict indiscriminately when he was drunk, which would cause some trouble.

But yesterday, he was really drunk.

Drink until you get dizzy and don't know anything.

This is really the first time.

This can be regarded as a presumptuous, since Cao Wen was born, Cao Chao's personality has changed greatly, although he still has high requirements and high standards for himself, but he has also learned to be occasionally presumptuous.

When he woke up, Cheng Ji was already waiting outside the door, wandering back and forth, and when he learned that the emperor had woken up, he hurried in to meet him.

"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as awake, the ministers who are waiting to see you are about to go to Chang'an"

Cao Chao ate unhurriedly, "Let's let them come in one by one, by the way, if you see Zhong Hui, be more careful, don't let him bump into people." ”

Cheng Ji said yes, and then said a little shyly: "By the way, Your Majesty, I haven't thanked you for rewarding my brother, in fact, you really don't have to look at my face to reward my brother like this, the minister is really a little guilty."

Cao Chao immediately cried and laughed.

"Go and call me!"

Cheng Ji hurriedly left.

Today, the first person to visit Cao Chao was the general Hu Zun.

General Hu Zun looked oily today, his face was ruddy, like a fairy, he walked into the hall and saluted Cao Chao.

"The general is here, sit down!"

Hearing this general, Hu Zun couldn't help laughing, and he hurriedly sat down beside Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to thank Your Majesty!"

Hu Zun's expression also became solemn, and he said very sincerely: "When Your Majesty was in danger, the old man never stepped forward, and even once as an accomplice, Your Majesty was able to forgive me for my past crimes and let me continue to serve in the military, I am already extremely grateful in my heart." ”

"Now that Your Majesty has named me a general again, I really don't know how to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

"Your Majesty, if you can't repay Your Majesty's great kindness, you will pay it back!"

Hu Zun got up and saluted Cao Chao again.

Cao Chao shook his head, "Why is the general like this?" I have always had clear rewards and punishments, if I want to reward everyone, I must first consider their achievements, and the general can be promoted because you have put down the Qingxu rebellion, ruled the land, and led the troops to pacify the land of Wu, and you have made outstanding contributions. ”

"The general doesn't have to care so much."

When Hu Zun heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

"How fortunate the world of Great Wei is, how fortunate the old man is, to have such a holy king!"

Hu Zun before, firstly, to thank Cao Chao in person, and secondly, to know what he wanted to do in the future.

Today's Wei military system, especially the highest level, is too scattered, if it was in the past, the general would naturally lead the national army, but today's Wei State, there are captains, generals, military departments, by the way, there is a big Sima.

So what is this great general going to do?

Cao Chao took Hu Zun's hand and said seriously: "Now that the four seas are at the beginning of peace, and there is no war, the general can watch the situation outside the fortress, supervise the armies in various places, and promote talented generals."

Cao Chao said the same thing to the captain and the general.

Because in Cao Chao's conception, officials other than Shangshutai can be understood as honorary officials, and the same is true for generals.

As the highest-level commander in the country, you can retire in Luoyang with peace of mind.

In the future, Cao Chao may have to split his official position, otherwise the position of this great general is really terrible, and every time a great general comes out, it can lead to chaos in the world.

Hu Zun probably understood.

You can meddle in anything, it sounds big, but in fact you don't have any power.

But Hu Zun doesn't care about this, at his age, there is no point in not having real power, he has completed his ambitions, and this is enough.

Cao Chao sent Hu Zun away, thinking that the second one would be Biqiu Jian, but he didn't expect that the second one to arrive was Chen Tai.

As the new governor of Wu, Chen Tai also had a lot of things he wanted to discuss with Cao Chao.

Chen Tai has never been a person who likes to talk too much, he came here just to ask about something.

Should it be rigid or soft?

Chen Tai's question was also quite direct, there was no superfluous nonsense at all, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Your Majesty, Wu Di is peaceful today, but I learned from the three generals that there are still many questions. ”

"The distribution of cultivated land is uneven, most of the people are large tenants, and there is no public land, private soldiers are in trouble, and the Wu people have been separated for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be discord."

"When the minister went to Wu this time, should he forcibly suppress it with heavy canons, or should he use a soft policy to carry out Huairou?"

Cao Chao shook his head, "Since I let you go to Wudi, then there is no reason to teach you to do it, if you think you should be heavy-handed, then heavy-handed, if you think you should be Huairou, then go to Huairou, no matter what means I use, I only need you to let the Wu people return to their hearts as soon as possible, and solve many local problems, whether it is barbarians, or the big clan, I only give you three years." ”

"Three years ago, if you can't solve the problem there, I will take you for blame, and if you can solve it successfully, then Shangshutai will be in charge of you."

"What does Chen Qing think?"

Chen Tai nodded solemnly, "The minister will get up and go." ”

Cao Chao instructed again: "Don't be afraid of causing local turmoil, just do what you think, I only need a result." ”

On this day, Cao Chao met with many ministers in the court, and these people came for the affairs of Wu Land, so busy until the evening, he finished meeting these people.

Well, Cheng Ji didn't say it too much, there were indeed a lot of people who came to visit.

After seeing so many ministers, Cao Chao was not in a hurry to go to other places, he continued to wait, and after a long time, one person was late.

The last minister to come was naturally Biqiu Jian.

When Cao Chao saw Biqiu Jian, he stood up with a smile and walked quickly to his side.

"Da Sima doesn't have to be polite."

Biqiu Jian chuckled and said, "Your Majesty might as well call General Biqiu as usual." ”

"Okay, General Biqiu, I have the assistance of a general like you, and I am really blessed by the ancestors."

"This time the world is unified, and the general's contribution is indispensable"

In front of Biqiu Jian, Cao Chao is probably the most comfortable and relaxed.

Biqiu Jian does not have too many restraints in front of Cao Chao, and the two are like a pair of bosom friends.

Although the age gap is a bit large, this does not prevent the friendship between the two people.

"Your Majesty, I have already captured that Lu Kang, and he is also in Luoyang now, you had better take the opportunity to meet him."

Biqiu Jian said: "It's just that this person is too stubborn, I think it is difficult for His Majesty to convince him, and along the way, I have to be careful that he will have suicidal thoughts." ”

"The general has a heart, Lu Kang, it finally fell into my hands, general, this person is a great talent, if he can be used by me"

Looking at Cao Chao, who suddenly became excited in front of him, Biqiu Jian also smiled bitterly, his own emperor, has a very serious talent fetish, of course, this is understandable, with his great-grandfather.

When you see talent, you want him to use it for yourself.

This was the case when I met Jiang Wei, and the same was true when I faced Lu Kang.

Biqiu Jian reminded: "If Your Majesty wants to subdue this person, then you must adopt the practice of celebrities. ”

"I think this person is actually the same kind of person as Zhong Hui, and Your Majesty knows how to impress such a person."

Cao Chao sighed, "When I first caught Jiang Wei, I failed to recover him, this matter is still my regret, Jiang Wei has the will to die, and after surrendering, he still wants to do things in secret, not to die, I have no way to subdue him, but this Lu Resistance, I feel that it is a little different." ”

"Lu Kang is still young, not as desperate as Jiang Wei begging for death, besides, he comes from a big family, so he has some concerns"

Biqiu Jian listened to Cao Chao's words very carefully, and Biqiu Jian has always been very attentive to Cao Chao's words.

Whatever Cao Chao likes, Biqiu Jian will catch him.

If Cao Chao doesn't like something, Biqiu Jian will help him get rid of something.

At this moment, he talked about the problem of the big clans in Wu again.

"When the minister discussed the affairs of Wu with the general and others, he remembered that His Majesty had said that the local clans were in trouble, so he ordered them to disarm the private army, and sure enough, someone took the opportunity to rebel, so I led the army to pacify them, and in the name of collusion to attack the rest of the clans, but the largest ones, seeing the wind and rudder, surrendered quickly, and the minister was not good to start clearly."

"If Your Majesty thinks that they are still in trouble, and the minister's rear army has not completely withdrawn, you can arrange a bandit."

Cao Chao decisively rejected him, "How can I let my great Sima do such a thing?" The affairs of Wu Guo are handed over to those three people, you don't have to interfere, you are now my great sima, you should do something more important. ”

Cao Chao paused, "Since Wu Di has been pacified, then my current worries are left with Xianbei, which is a major matter that breaks Xianbei and calms the outside of the fortress, and I want to hand it over to you to do." ”

Of course, Cao Chao didn't ask Biqiu Jian to take the army to fight the Xianbei people now, he just handed over a grand strategic concept for the future to Biqiu Jian.

This war may be a year later, three years later, or even five years, but it will be up to Biqiu Jian to take care of everything, and the war is not as simple as sending troops, and there are many things to consider.

Obviously, Cao Chao didn't want Biqiu Jian, the big Sima, to become an honorary official position.

However, it can also be understood, after all, Biqiu is not too old in comparison, and he is still in the year of fighting, if he is left in Luoyang for retirement now, it will be a bit overkill.

"Command!!"

Biqiu Jian stood up and replied.
