Chapter 623 Cao Ang: You all be the Three Caos, I'll go conquer the world!
"Okay! I'll trust you again."
"Don't disappoint me again!"
Ju Zong stared fiercely at Sima Hui with eyes like a wolf.
If Sima Hui is still unreliable this time, he wouldn't mind cutting off Sima Hui's dog head to use as a sacrifice for his brother Ju Shou!
Sima Hui smiled and nodded.
He knew, of course, that cooperating with someone like Ju Zong was like asking a tiger for its skin.
But Sima Hui was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
The promise he made to Ju Zong was that Ju Zong should find a way to use the opportunity of the Xianbei's southward invasion to betray Cao Cao.
But when Ju Zong betrays Cao Cao, Sima Hui will still deliver another fatal blow to Ju Zong!
This incident, which led to the downfall of the Shuijing Academy, served as a wake-up call for Sima Hui.
He not only wants to rescue all the trapped disciples, but also wants to seize power and taste how wonderful it is to be in power!
……
Xuchang
Court of Justice
Apart from Ji Province and You Province.
All of Ju Zong and Hua Xin's trusted confidants have been removed.
This greatly weakened the remaining power of the powerful families of Ji Province.
As the undisputed next leader of Cao Cao's camp, Cao Ang was naturally in a good mood.
"Zihuan, please get your brother's writing brush."
"Alright, brother."
Cao Pi walked over, holding a writing brush in his hand.
"Oh, Zihuan is so good!"
Cao Ang took out a piece of candy and put it in Cao Pi's mouth, as if coaxing a child.
"Brother!"
Cao Pi appeared to be furious and embarrassed, but in reality, he was secretly pleased.
He wouldn't admit it, but he had long since become a proper brother-obsessed brother.
Cao Ang was also seized by a playful impulse.
Afterwards, he chatted with Cao Pi for a while about recent anecdotes in Xuchang.
Well, don't let Cao Ang's usually serious demeanor fool you, he actually loves gossip too.
After all, he is Su Yu's disciple!
Even the most upright person will be led astray once they've become Su Yu's disciple.
“Brother, Ziwen has been throwing a tantrum lately. He’s still angry about not being allowed to go on the expedition last time.”
Cao Pi sighed softly.
Ziwen refers to Cao Zhang.
Unlike Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang was born with immense strength and always longed to make a name for himself on the battlefield.
When Cao Cao last campaigned against Yizhou, Cao Zhang wanted to use delivering a message as an excuse to join the battle, but Cao Ang refused.
Now, with the world almost unified, Cao Zhang is extremely anxious!
Cao Ang laughed:
"Ziwen is just too impatient."
"Take this map to him tonight."
"There are still many places outside the borders of my Han territory."
"He'll have a lot to do in the future."
"Now, while he's practicing martial arts, let's not forget to teach him military strategy."
"Otherwise, without military strategy, the command of the army will certainly not be handed over to him."
Cao Pi nodded:
"What my brother said is true."
Cao Pi then took the map and couldn't help but marvel at it.
This map was drawn by Su Yu and given to Cao Ang as a birthday gift a few days ago.
When Cao Ang first saw this world map, he was also shocked.
Although Su Yu had told him before that there were many countries outside the Han territory.
But when the Han territory was actually presented in a corner of the map, Cao Ang had to admit that his previous thinking had been somewhat conservative.
As for letting Cao Zhang command the troops, wouldn't that make him too powerful to control?
Hmm, if someone else were sitting in Cao Ang's position, they might have such concerns.
But Cao Ang's current stability is probably even greater than Zhu Biao's.
He desperately wanted more capable younger brothers to share his burdens!
After talking about Cao Zhang, Cao Pi then brought up Cao Zhi.
"Zijian is more troubled than Ziwen now!"
"Ziwen is always clamoring to go to war."
"Zijian wants to go to the grasslands, to Jiangdong, to the sea, to compose poems and couplets!"
"What kind of outrageous hobbies are these?"
Cao Pi mercilessly criticized him.
Cao Ang laughed:
"Zihuan, don't say that. Our Cao family will surely produce a great poet."
"Besides, you and your father are both quite talented in literature, so you could form a trio of scholars together."
Cao Pi asked in confusion:
"I, Zijian, and my father together form the Three Caos."
"And what about you, brother?"
Cao Ang smiled slightly and replied:
"I will go and conquer the world, and take over more places for you to vacation and compose poems."
Although Cao Ang's words were somewhat immature and childish.
But in Cao Pi's eyes, everything Cao Ang said was right and he was handsome.
Therefore, Cao Ang's image as an elder brother will not collapse, but will only become more magnificent.
"Report!"
"An urgent report has arrived from Jizhou!"
Just as the two brothers were chatting happily, Cao Ang's personal guards came in from outside.
"Urgent report from Ji Province! Why hasn't it been sent to the Minister of Works' residence?"
The guards looked embarrassed.
"Lord Sikong is still in Xujia Village and has not yet returned."
Cao Ang and Cao Pi couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Their father is becoming increasingly unreliable.
But this was actually done intentionally by Cao Cao.
He was gradually relinquishing all power to Cao Ang.
As a result, I spent more and more time in Xujia Village.
In any case, Cao Ang is already a very qualified successor, and the staff of the Court of Justice is also quite good.
Even if he completely relinquished control, Cao Cao wouldn't be afraid.
"Where's the master?"
Cao Ang subconsciously thought of Su Yu.
The guard immediately replied:
"The Commandant of the Guards is out of the city having a drunken spree with Guo Fengxiao."
Cao Ang: "!"
Well, we can't count on our master either.
Cao Ang sighed and summoned the staff of the Court of Justice for a collective meeting.
Besides Lu Xun, there were also Pang Tong, Wang Ji, Zhuge Dan, Wei Yan, Xun Yun, and others.
And Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and others who were still young but had already been given special attention.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Dan were originally considered to be members of the Imperial Guard.
However, after the reform of the Imperial Guard, only female secretaries were required.
So they both lost their jobs and were sent to the Court of Justice to work as Cao Ang's core team.
To be honest, the Imperial Guard's Office is really no good; it's nowhere near as stable and secure as the Minister's Office!
Look at the Minister's office; as long as they don't die, they don't have to worry about unemployment at all.
Wang Ji latched onto his idol's coattails and his career flourished.
While serving as the head of the Nanyang royal family, he was also given a new official position and appointed by Cao Ang.
Wei Yan was Jia Xu's apprentice and was recommended by Jia Xu to work in the Court of Justice.
Compared to other generals in Cao Cao's camp, Wei Yan is quite young. Although he has been in Cao Cao's camp for nine years, he is only twenty-five years old now.
In the future, it can continue to shine for at least another thirty years!
Finally, it's worth mentioning Xun Yun.
He was Xun Yu's eldest son, born the year before Xun Yu joined Cao Cao's camp.
Don't ask why it was the year before he joined Cao Cao's camp, because Xun Yu only had time to create him before he joined Cao Cao's camp!
