Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

Cao Cao has already agreed to go on the expedition.

Then the next step is to discuss the specific details of the expedition.

According to Cao Cao's idea.

Since the function of stirrups is so obvious.

In addition, it was Cao Zhi’s first expedition.

So Cao Cao waved his hand.

Five thousand of the six thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were assigned to Cao Zhi.

At the same time, Cao Hong and Cao Ren were arrested.

Sent to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

In response, Cao Zhi immediately refused.

There are three reasons for the rejection.

First, whether it is Cao Hong, Cao Ren or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they are all Cao Cao’s most trusted confidants.

With their imaginative personalities, if they encounter problems, they will most likely use their status as elders to restrain themselves.

Secondly, the training cost of each warhorse and cavalryman of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is extremely high.

War naturally causes damage, even though we now have double stirrups.

But this does not mean that Cao Zhi's side will not suffer casualties.

Rather than letting Cao Cao feel grief for a long time due to the death of a Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman, it is better to let ordinary soldiers go.

As for the third reason, it is because the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry uses both light and heavy cavalry. When the army sets out, a large number of civilians need to be recruited to transport food and fodder.

But Cao Zhi wanted to travel light.

Like Huo Qubing, he came and went as fast as the wind and ate wherever he went.

Instead of being stopped by supplies.

When Cao Zhi told Cao Cao these three reasons.

Cao Cao looked relieved.

He could see it, whether on the battlefield or in the court.

Cao Zhi's insights are unmatched by ordinary people!

However, although Cao Zhi did not want the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

But Cao Zhi specifically asked for three military generals.

The three people are Zhang He, Zhang Liao, and Le Jin.

Zhang He was one of the Four Pillars of Hebei.

Among all the surrendered generals of the Yuan family, his status and position were the highest.

With him around, it would be helpful for him to defeat or persuade the Bingzhou army to surrender.

There is no need to say much about Zhang Liao.

The Battle of Bailang Mountain and the Battle of Xiaoyaojin in history are enough to prove his strength.

As for Le Jin, he was brave in battle and was always the first to climb the ladder in every battle.

He is an excellent pioneer general.

With him around, even if faced with adversity, Cao Zhi believed that he could turn danger into safety.

"Okay, I'll grant you all of this..."

Cao Cao laughed.

As he spoke, Cao Cao drew the Qinggang sword from his waist and handed it to Cao Zhi, saying:

"Before, you gave me a Yuchang sword. Now, I will give you the Qinggang sword. With the Qinggang sword in hand, if you are my father, you can kill any official who disobeys you along the way with a single blow!"

Isn't this the Imperial Sword?

Seeing that Cao Cao gave him this treasure.

Cao Zhi was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank Cao Cao.

"Zijian, this sword can only be used on the battlefield. As for the Sima family, you cannot touch it!"

As if he had thought of something, Cao Cao suddenly said.

“???” Cao Zhi.

Seeing that Cao Cao saw through his thoughts at a glance, Cao Zhi said he was careless.

"I know what you're thinking. You simply think the Sima family has some rebellious intentions, and you want to get rid of this scourge for our Cao family as soon as possible!"

"No matter what the Sima family's true thoughts are, at least until now, the Sima family's external image has always been one of being law-abiding!"

"If those in power can arbitrarily kill ministers based on trumped-up charges, then what is the difference between Xudu today and Luoyang during Dong Zhuo's time?"

"Ministers live in fear every day. They are either on guard against assassins or looking for assassins to assassinate others. If this vicious cycle continues, how can the court function?"

"Politics isn't just about fighting and killing..."

"Don't worry, since you told me that there's something wrong with the Sima family, I will be on guard against them!"

Cao Cao said earnestly.

"OK then!"

Seeing that Cao Cao said so, Cao Zhi said no more.

After all, Cao Cao is not an old man who knows nothing.

He is the famous Emperor Wu of Wei in history.

The two continued chatting for a while.

final decision.

Ten days later, Cao Cao led 5,000 cavalrymen westward to Bingzhou!

And during these ten days.

What these 5,000 cavalrymen need to do is to get familiar with the double stirrups as quickly as possible.

……

"Sikong, have you decided to make the Fourth Young Master your heir?"

As soon as Cao Zhi left, Guo Jia spoke.

The reason why Guo Jia said this.

Because Guo Jia knew the political significance of the Qinggang Sword.

Cao Cao gave the Qinggang Sword to Cao Zhi, and his intention was self-evident.

"I'm sorry Zihuan!"

After a long time, Cao Cao sighed.

"Haha... Chenliu has beautiful mountains and clear waters and abundant natural resources. It might be a good place for the Second Young Master to go out!"

Guo Jia laughed.

Guo Jia's meaning was very clear.

Rather than feeling guilty towards Cao Pi.

It would be better to find a way out for Cao Pi while he is still alive.

"You, you, as expected, no matter what I'm thinking, I can't hide it from you!"

Seeing that Guo Jia had even thought of Cao Pi’s last step of retreat, what else could Cao Cao say?

"However, although I have decided to make Zijian my heir, Zihuan cannot retreat yet!"

"At least, before the final result comes out, Zihuan still has his mission!"

Cao Cao said coldly.

"So what does Sikong mean?"

Guo Jia said.

He knew that Cao Cao now used Cao Pi as a tool to suppress the gentry.

As for the position of heir? Cao Pi can forget about it!

Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel sorry for Cao Pi for three seconds.

After all, Cao Pi at that time was probably still dreaming of becoming an heir!

"Write a letter to the Emperor, appointing Zihuan as the General of the Five Officials!"

"Find a suitable woman from the Yingchuan nobles to be Zihuan's legal wife!"

"Also, find an opportunity for the Sima family to contact Zihuan. If Zihuan does something out of line in the future, there will be someone to take the blame for him!"

Cao Cao said coldly.
