He is now deeply trusted by Cao Pi, and to be honest, he is no longer afraid that Guan Ping will disgust him.

But he was still afraid of Liu Chan.

Chang Diao is convinced that Liu Chan will definitely have the help of the gods, and sooner or later he will be the master of the world.

Moreover, the son is broad-minded and employs eclectic people.

A useless literati like Yu Fan, a pure warrior with no background like Ding Feng, and a mediocre talent like Zhuge Qiao who know nothing have all played a huge role under his subordinates.

The appointment of Meng Da before was a stroke of genius, and he directly made the famous general Xu Huang cry.

Of course, Chang Diao thinks that the best thing that Shizi can use is to discover the talent of General Chang.

As the son's loyal lackey, Chang Diao was reluctant to part with his current glory and wealth, but he also dared not confront Liu Changang.

My previous performance was already very good. If I become General Zhengnan, I will fight the prince again? I am afraid that I will be beaten to death by the prince.

But he heard that after Xu Huang and Wenpin were captured, they were taken to Jiangling to farm? He was ridiculed by a group of barbarians.

I often generals can't do this kind of thing.

"Brother, absolutely not." Chang Diao said with a wry smile.

"A certain battle has not been achieved? How can I take on the big responsibility? This general who conquers the south should let the King of Wei hire another master!"

"Hey, stop talking nonsense? Zihuan has always been a meritocracy,

You are loyal? You are brave in battle? You have won the hearts of the soldiers. Even Zhang Wenyuan and Jia Wenhe have repeatedly praised them. Who dares to chew their tongues!

Brother Yu is here, don't worry! "

Chang Diao: ...

I thank you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

According to the regulations, Chang Diao should first meet Cao Pi,

But Cao Pi is busy formulating the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law with Chen Qun, so that Chang Diao can rest assured and wait until tomorrow.

So that night, Cao Ren invited a group of relatives, friends and lackeys to raise a glass and invite Chang Diao to drink together.

In addition to Cao Ren? There was another important figure during the banquet—Yanling Hou Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang received extremely high treatment after Cao Pi ascended the throne. Cao Pi praised him for his talent? He attacked the north and protected Dazong? He was a hero.

It's just that Cao Zhang is not stupid.

Just listen to some words.

If Cao Pi really trusted him? He should be in charge of leading the army to attack Soochow this time.

Instead of the violent Cao Xiu.

Cao Ren hosted a banquet in honor of Chang Diao today? Cao Zhang couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to come to Cao Ren's residence.

He sat on the side and poured himself a drink, gently cutting the roasted venison with a knife, completely unwilling to participate in the flattery of a group of people.

A few days ago, he received information about the Battle of Shiting, and he was mixed with joy and worry.

Naturally, the worry is a big defeat for one's own side.

Although there were not too many casualties in this battle, the sneak attack was seen through by Soochow, and it is almost impossible to go this way again in the future.

Moreover, this completely forced Sun Quan to Liu Bei's side, and the pressure will be even greater in the future.

Cao Zhang, as the clan of Cao Wei, has a great right to speak.

Jia Xu did not shy away from this person when he conspired with Cao Pi, and Cao Pi hypocritically invited Cao Zhang to participate in the plan of the Southern Expedition.

After all, he is a brother of the clan and a stable person who has led the army for many years. Cao Zhang will never leak the news.

At that time, Cao Pi was still holding Cao Zhang's hand, and said with emotion:

"Brother doesn't understand military affairs, so I will ask Ziwen for more advice in the future."

The real Cao Zhang thought that Cao Pi had changed his sex at the time, but he was a little moved for a while, and actively participated in Cao Pi's plan.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu's three armies were all defeated, and Cao Pi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

When he went to see Cao Pi during the day, although Cao Pi didn't reprimand him, he asked a question that made Cao Zhang furious.

"Has Ziwen ever told outsiders about the Taiwei's plan?"

Listen, is this human?

How could Cao Zhang bear this kind of suspicion?

He walked away directly, secretly deciding in his heart that he might as well be an idler in the future, and no longer care about the affairs of the court, so as not to arouse suspicion all over.

But looking at the report of the Battle of Shiting, Cao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Ma Su played extremely well in this battle,

As an outsider, he could guess Cao Jun's offensive route, and insisted on his own opinion, asking Wu Jun to go up the mountain, and made the best defense arrangement, supporting until the main force of Wu Jun's reinforcements arrived.

As expected of you.

If I can join forces with Xiaochang to fight beyond the Great Wall, we will definitely be able to sweep Hu Qiang.

It's just that there is probably no chance in this life.

Seeing Cao Zhang pouring himself a drink, Chang Diao also came up to toast with a silly smile.

Cao Zhang never liked Chang Diao's character, but he performed very well in this battle and saw through Liu Chan's plot.

This made Cao Zhang look at him with admiration.

He raised his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, stared at the bull's eye and said:

"How did General Chang see through Liu Chan's strategy?"

Chang Diao had already prepared a draft, and told Cao Zhang how he anticipated the enemy's opportunity and how to retreat cleverly.

As for abandoning Fancheng and sticking to Xinye, it was also General Chang's subtle plan.

When it comes to the origin, Chang Diao proudly said:

"Liu Chan has no strategy, Ma Su has little wisdom, even if he is capable, how can he compare to the King of Wei?"

What Zheng Zhi said is very correct, and now Cao Wei basically says so——

This is to cover up the embarrassment of Cao Xiu, and deliberately raised Ma Su to the same level as Liu Chan.

But Cao Zhang was in a bad mood today. Hearing what Chang Diao said, he subconsciously felt that he was acting strangely.

Who doesn't know that Cao Zhang and Ma Di are friends, they discuss military affairs together and admire each other.

Do you often play yin and yang in front of Laozi, because Laozi can't hear it?

Cao Zhang stood up slowly, looked at Chang Diao with a sneer:

"I also wondered how capable General Chang is, but he escaped from death at the hands of Liu Chan and left Zhongye to escape, and now he has become a hero of our country.

Wouldn't it make Wu Shu laugh at him if he said it? "

Chang Diao's face became extremely pale in an instant. He had no reason to advance or retreat, and he didn't dare to get angry with Cao Zhang, so he could only smile helplessly, expressing his willingness to accept Yanlinghou's teachings.

Chang Diao didn't dare to get angry with Cao Zhang, but it didn't mean that Cao Ren would be afraid of this nephew.

He snorted coldly and said solemnly:

"Zi Wenxiu wants to mess around, if you are drunk, please go back first!"

Cao Zhang was taken aback, he never expected that Cao Ren would directly issue an order to drive him away, and his face was even more uncertain.

"Humph."

He turned and left, blinking and disappearing from everyone's sight,

There was no emotion on Cao Ren's face,

He waved his hand and said:

"You guys continue to feast, don't take care of him."

The relationship between Cao Zhang and Cao Pi is not good.

In terms of power, he is far inferior to the current Cao Ren.

The conflict between the two was soon placed on Cao Pi's desk. Cao Pi was really happy to see it, and added a bit of hatred towards Cao Zhang.

"Ziwen, Ziwen, it's a pity that I still treat you as my own flesh and blood. I didn't expect you to do such a dirty thing."

Cao Pi muttered to himself, but couldn't help coughing softly.

Not far from him, Chen Qun and Sima Yi exchanged glances, and finally Sima Yi spoke:

"Your Majesty, now that the major event has not been accomplished, we must not create extra problems.

For the matter of Marquis Yanling, please be patient for now! "

Cao Pi also knows that now is the critical time, and there must be no problems within the Cao clan.

He nodded slowly and sneered:

"Of course I know—"

and so on.

After waiting for so many years, Cao Pi couldn't wait any longer.

Rumors of the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law have been released. The aristocratic families in Yingchuan, Runan, Nanyang, Fufeng and other places have seen the huge benefits brought about by this move, and expressed their absolute support for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi couldn't wait any longer.

Chapter 250 A gift from an old friend

"Ninth rank... the law of officials?"

Liu Chan, who was very happy fishing in Jiangling, was overwhelmed when he heard the news.

He took out "Three Kingdoms", quickly flipped through the content of Chen Qun, his head was getting dizzy.

How on earth is this broken book compiled? Do you want to cherish words like gold? Moreover, to check a person's life, they often have to look up other people's biographies.

I really envy my sister who can search for knowledge casually in those days.

Now Cao Pi is theoretically still the king of Wei, but it can be seen from the fact that after he ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Sangong and he started a new system of talent selection, he is a little anxious now.

It seems that although this war dealt a heavy blow to Cao Pi, it did not fundamentally shake his obsession with usurping the Han.

Now, with the help of Chen Qun, he is making final preparations for usurping the Han.

This method of selection is equivalent to transferring power to those aristocratic and powerful families, and will naturally get the support of these powerful families.

Not to mention those aristocratic families in the Central Plains, even the Jingzhou aristocratic family who firmly supported Liu Chan were moved.

And this good thing?

This is obviously a good policy that benefits the country and the people.

Ma Liang has hinted to Liu Chan several times in the past few days, saying that he can't learn anything else, but he can have this ninth-rank official method.

This kind of action can greatly make up for the lack of the investigation system, and it can also get the support of the aristocratic family.

The most important thing is to ensure the purity of important officials in the court,

In the future, all the courts will be filled with gentlemen with clean family backgrounds, and there will be no more vulgar villains.

Liu Chan knows that this system will cause extremely bad consequences in the future, so of course he is unwilling to copy it.

But he also knows that Cao Wei will become stronger in a short time due to the promotion of this system.

The next battle will be more difficult.

Shi Bao has been watching secretly beside Liu Chan, for fear that Liu Chan will not be able to accept Ma Liang's suggestion for a while, and it will be difficult for them who come from poor families to stand up.

Shi Bao's family has no status and no prominent ancestors.

According to the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, even if he is a senior official, those noble families should look down on him or look down on him.

It got him very high.

Fortunately, Liu Chan just rubbed his temples, smiled and said:
