Chapter 86: The eldest brother is like a father

Cao Chao and Zhong Hui looked at the map in front of them.

Both of them could hardly hide their excitement.

Cao Chao is okay, he knows what the real world is like, but for Zhong Hui, this is a new experience.

After a long period of copying, Pei Xiu made this known map of the world.

This map includes the Great Wei, Saiwai, Waguo, Yizhou, Shazhou, Yueshi, Funan and other regions

From Cao Chao's point of view, this includes East Asia, India, and Southeast Asia.

Even Malay and many other regions in Southeast Asia in later generations were marked on the map.

Wu had recorded more than a hundred countries during his voyages, of course, this so-called country may be the same as the forty or fifty small countries in the Western Regions, one city and one country, and the largest of them may not be as strong as Qiuci.

The voyage records of the Wu Kingdom have long been sent to the temple, which has also become an important reference part of Pei Xiu's map.

The sailing distance of Wu is very exaggerated, and they have almost turned around many islands in Southeast Asia, and they have also preached the strength of Great Wu in various places, asking these countries to come to pay tribute.

Especially at the end of Sun Quan's reign, Sun Quan himself was keen to see the Quartet come to court.

He couldn't see that the Great Wei sent people to pay tribute, so he could only go overseas to bully some small people, and let these people come to pay tribute to him, as his "great emperor" of cultural and martial arts.

And the Great Wei has a lot of countries to deal with, especially in the Cao Pi period, there have been with Guishan, the Wa State have a past, and the official documents also record that the envoy of the Wa State is difficult to ascend rice to come to pay tribute, and was given the seal of the pro-Wei Wa King by the emperor.

According to the records of the time, the queen of the Wa Kingdom, the Yamatai Kingdom, was able to use witchcraft, and with this ability, everyone worshiped her as the king.

Zhong Hui looked at the map in front of him, and he was a little distracted.

Cao Chao took Zhong Hui's hand and said seriously: "Shi Ji, don't worry. ”

"After more than 100 years of turmoil, the wounds of the world have not been healed until now, and the most prosperous Central Plains has reduced its population and arable land several times compared with the Later Han Dynasty."

"Not to mention that those border areas are thousands of miles uninhabited."

"It is a great undertaking to open up the territory and expand the territory, but we must first manage the foundation, if we blindly open up, only think about increasing the territory and despise the world's government affairs, we will die in less than a hundred years."

Cao Chao said very confidently.

Zhong Hui found it strange that every time the emperor talked about governing the country, he always said it confidently, as if he had seen many precedents with his own eyes.

It is clear that there are few unified countries before the Great Wei.

Cao Chao looked at the map in front of him and said seriously: "Now it's not about finding a way to capture them, but about how to make Great Wei strong through these places." ”

"I know that this Funan country has rice seeds, which are ripe and multi-grained, and can be introduced!"

"There is an open-pit mine on this island, you can go to mine!"

"On the islands outside of Yizhou, there are all kinds of wood, which are suitable for building warships."

"In the hands of the Yueshi people, there are many crops that we have never seen."

"If you can go all the way from here to Qin, who sent the envoy at the beginning, it will be of great benefit."

Cao Chao pointed to the map in front of him, and seemed to have his own views on each place.

"With the current national strength of Great Wei, it is not difficult to defeat them, but if you want to occupy them, I am afraid that you can't do it."

"However, it doesn't necessarily need to be captured, take this Funan country as an example, they need to deal with the Great Wei, then let them pay a large amount of grain every year, and if Yamatai wants to get the help of the Great Wei, then let them take out the mine!"

Listening to Cao Chao's analysis, Zhong Hui pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is best to capture it, and it is the most down-to-earth in your own hands." ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Shiji, you are my chief, you can't act blindly. ”

"It's good to be ambitious, but you have to think about the situation at home."

Cao Chao said a few more words, Zhong Hui actually wanted to ask Cao Chao for this map.

But on second thought, this may be a little wrong.

Let's wait for a few more credits for myself, and then ask Your Majesty for this map!

Zhong Hui made a decision and immediately said goodbye to Cao Chao.

Looking at Zhong Hui, who left in a hurry, Cao Chao didn't know what he was thinking.

This guy is bent on establishing unprecedented feats, and now that he has seen a corner of the world, his fighting spirit will only be stronger than in the past.

Fortunately, he is still young, and maybe many years later, he will really be able to realize his ambition.

Just as Cao Chao smiled and continued to observe the map, Huangmen suddenly came to pay a respect.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Gong Da Zhong Gong asks to see you."

Zhong Yu?

Although this Zhong Yu is older than Zhong Hui, because he is not in the middle of the service, nor is he hanging in the free ride, he cannot come to see the emperor at any time like his younger brother.

If you want to enter the palace gate, you must first wait for the emperor's edict.

Cao Chao immediately ordered him to come in.

Zhong Yu is actually similar to Pei Xiu.

He's very talented, very talented.

Although he often appears as a foil to his younger brother in later allusions and even in the mouths of later generations, as if his existence is to bring out his excellent and intelligent younger brother.

It is true that his younger brother Zhong Hui's resume is very terrifying, proficient in internal affairs, strategy and military, and he can be at the head of the group of ministers before the age of forty.

It seems that his resume is just open.

However, in fact, the protagonist of the real Destiny is his brother Zhong Yu.

Few people know that Zhong Yu's resume is even more terrifying.

He showed great wisdom at an early age.

At the age of fourteen, he directly served as a free horseman, and he was a king bomb at the beginning.

At the age of twenty, he was able to persuade the emperor to dispel the idea of the emperor going out in person, so he was promoted to the rank of Huangmen squire.

Less than thirty years old, he became a free cavalry attendant, and repeatedly persuaded the emperor to stop the idea of building a large number of buildings, and persuaded Cao Shuang not to forcibly attack Shu, to find the right time, and later Cao Shuang was demoted to Taishou, and was promoted to serve in the middle of the imperial history, and to be a court lieutenant.

In history, during the Zhuge Festival rebellion, he was a general and supervised the military of Xuzhou and Jingzhou.

He just doesn't like to be like his brother and is more introverted.

In addition, on the issue of position, he, like Pei Xiu, is basically on the side of the big clan.

Unlike Zhong Hui, who doesn't care about anything in order to fulfill his ambitions, Zhong Yu is trying his best to carry forward the Zhong family.

And Zhong Yu is older than Pei Xiu, so it is difficult to control, which is why Cao Chao is reluctant to reuse him.

But when Zhong Yu appeared in front of Cao Chao, Cao Chao was taken aback by him.

Zhong Yu looks very bad.

His face was pale, and his eyes had lost their former luster.

On crutches, there is a feeling of crumbling.

Cao Chao couldn't help frowning.

"Zhong Gong, what are you?"

"Your Majesty is an old man, riddled with serious illnesses"

Zhong Yu sighed, Cao Chao stepped forward to help him and let him sit down, "Can you see the doctor?" ”

"Thank you for your care, I've seen it."

Zhong Yu said with a wry smile: "The minister is probably terminally ill, and these doctors came to check, but they refused to tell the reason, but they just prescribed some medicine to eat, and they didn't dare to say it directly." ”

"The minister was really afraid before, afraid that His Majesty had not returned to Luoyang, and the minister would say goodbye."

Cao Chao did not speak.

Zhong Yu continued: "Your Majesty, at this age, the minister has no regrets, but my younger brother really reassures me. ”

"He lost his father at a very young age."

"My father entrusted him to me, and over the years, it was I who was too indulgent to him, thinking that he had lost his father at a young age, and had not taught him strictly, which made him have the bad character he has now."

"I knew I wouldn't be able to escape the blame."

"In the past, when he was out on errands, I could always help take care of him, check and fill in the gaps for him, and not let him go astray"

Zhong Yu said as he spoke, and his eyes became a little complicated.

"Your Majesty, if the minister leaves, I am afraid that my younger brother will cause some catastrophe."

"This younger brother of mine is pretentious, arrogant, unruly, his ambitions and ambitions are beyond his talents and virtues, and I ask Your Majesty to take more discipline in place of your ministers, and please Your Majesty must keep an eye on him carefully, and don't let him make big mistakes."

This is not the first time Zhong Yu has said this.

He once said the same to Sima Zhao.

Cao Chao turned his head sideways, and his mood was suddenly a little unhappy.

Zhong Yu seemed to be interceding for his younger brother, but in essence, he still wanted himself to help take care of his clan, lest his clan be wiped out by his younger brother!

Speaking of which, it's still the usual routine of the people of the big clan!

Cao Chao wanted to say something sarcastic, but when he looked at Zhong Yu, he only saw an uncoordinated face.

Zhong Yu obviously had a smile on his face, but under the corners of his eyes, there were crystal tears.

It made him look a little aggrieved.

Cao Chao was silent for a moment, "I'll watch him, don't worry." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhong Yu said, and two tears slipped down his face.

He smiled and wiped away his tears.

"The minister is so happy now, and the minister has nothing else to worry about."

"Your Majesty, the minister will go back to recuperate first, Your Majesty is majestic, the sky descends to the saints, Your Majesty will be able to create a prosperous world, so that the world will be a peaceful world"

Zhong Yu said a few words, got up and said goodbye to Cao Chao.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhong Yu looked at the scenery outside from the window, his eyes were scattered and silent.

After returning to the mansion, Zhong Yu didn't go out for a few days, until he woke up one day, he suddenly took his son's hand and asked his son to invite Zhong Hui and others over.

Zhong Hui, who was immersed in his errands in the study, learned that his brother was going to summon him, so he didn't even ask too much, hurriedly got into the car, and rushed towards his brother's mansion.

Liu Yuan had never seen such a solemn expression from his teacher.

His brows were tightly knit, and his eyes were indescribably solemn.

He also seemed to anticipate something.

Liu Yuan wanted to ask, but the teacher at this moment was clearly frightening.

He didn't dare to ask more.
