Cao Cao said that this was definitely not because of his petty mentality and vengeance, but because Cao Cao felt that this was a provocation to his authority...

These guys are against alcohol prohibition now, who knows what they will be against in the future? One day, the opposition will come to Cao Cao's own head, saying that Cao Cao's head is in the wrong place and he needs to find a new place?

The reason why Cao Cao does not treat these nobles forcefully, and is patient and conceding, does not mean that Cao Cao is willing to accept such patience and conceding!

So Cao Cao agreed to Xun Yu's plan.

Internally, it was to strengthen the joint organization of the gentry in various states, using the "examination" system as the starting point, while externally, it was to strengthen Cao Cao's authority, using Empress Cao as an opportunity.

Sometimes, the only difference between enemies and allies is interest.

Contrary to what most people guessed, the next position Cao Cao planned was not the position of abbot, but the position of "general"...

If you want to be the head of the country, you can take the position when Cao Cao sends his daughter to the palace. Why wait until now? Although this move made the two women lose their happiness, Cao Cao believed that it was necessary. The Cao family

The men of the Xiahou family fought hard on the battlefield and worked hard in the officialdom. So, do the women of the Xiahou family of the Cao family only know how to eat and drink, without giving or sacrificing anything?

So Cao Cao didn't regret it, uh, or rather, he couldn't regret it. At least when Cao Cao thought of Mrs. Ding and his daughter, he had to repeat in his heart, no regrets.

Now, Queen Cao has paved a road for Cao Cao, a road that can be sealed on Fei Qian's head, the road of the great general.

The highest level of a foreign relative in the Han Dynasty was that of a general.

Although most of the generals in the Han Dynasty ended up with some problems, it usually happened after the death of the general. And if Cao Cao couldn't care about it right now, then what's the point of talking and thinking about the problems after death?

?

The road to becoming a great general lies ahead, but it is still difficult to walk up it.

Just like how to advance.

He Jin is also a general, but after He Jin became a general, not everyone thought that He Jin was a "general". Before He Jin was a general, he first favored his sister, worshiped him as a doctor, and served as a general.

Huben Zhonglang General, Yingchuan Prefect, later moved to Shizhong, and became a great craftsman. The position of Henan Yin did not have much military merit as a basis, so during the Yellow Turban Uprising, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty worshiped him as a general and took charge of the capital.

, but in fact He Jin did not have high prestige in the army and did not receive much support from the nobles.

Although it is said that after He Jin took office, he wanted to increase his prestige. He taught martial arts in the capital and established a camp. He appointed eight captains in Xiyuan. He followed Yuan Shao's advice and recruited wise and resourceful people. He borrowed money from his uncle Yuan internally and used external power to assist the government. He monopolized the court.

Zhongdaquan, all kinds of things, all look beautiful, but in fact they are empty. In the end, with a slight push from a few eunuchs, the structure they built collapsed to the ground.

This was a bloody lesson learned just a short while ago. Cao Cao didn’t want to be like He Jin, who had his head chopped off and thrown out from behind the palace wall...

Therefore, Cao Cao grasped military power very tightly.

But having military power alone is not enough, at least not yet, to allow Cao Cao to stand up from the position of Sikong and then sit firmly in the position of general.

You also need to have enough military merit...

Especially compared to this damn guy Fei Qian.

Originally, if Yuan Tan was still alive, then Jizhou could probably be regarded as an important part of Cao Cao's military achievements, suppressing the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou and having nothing to say. However, Yuan Tan died, and Jizhou was almost disturbed by Fei Qian.

It is combined, so it is not perfect, it can be said to have loopholes and flaws.

Jiangxia is not necessarily a military success that can be widely publicized.

After all, this damn hussar general was too good at opening up and expanding the territory in terms of military achievements. He was so good that other people at the same time felt that duck pears were indeed much larger than ordinary pears...

Therefore, Cao Cao could only retreat and settle for the next best thing. Since he could not play any tricks on his military achievements, he could only seek progress in his connections, and Liu Biao was Cao Cao's goal.

Cao Cao hoped to use this opportunity of assistance to get Liu Biao to support him and recommend Cao Cao as a general instead of Cao Cao just saying that he would become a general. As a result, Liu Biao did not say he agreed or disagreed, he just expressed his opinion.

I am not in good health. I will talk about this matter after I recover...

In a sense, Cao Cao and Liu Biao were allies before, but this does not mean that Cao Cao and Liu Biao will be good friends for life. When differences arise, especially major differences, even father, son, wife and children will kill each other.

, let alone just gay friends?
