Since he was named King of Wei.

So next.

It is to define the territory of King Wei.

He thought of the nobles under his rule, such as Xun Yu and Cui Yan, who had expressed their submission to him.

Think about your current age.

Think about your current strength.

Cao Cao was not polite this time.

Ask someone to get the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

A big wave of his hand.

Directly take the four states of Hebei and the Liaodong region which is now in the hands of Gongsun Kang.

All of them were included in the scope of his own Wei Kingdom.

Besides.

Guanzhong and Henan counties were also incorporated into the sphere of influence of the King of Wei by Cao Cao.

As soon as this news came out.

The entire Yecheng city was in an uproar in an instant.

Hebei gentry.

Naturally, they celebrated.

They put up lights and decorated the place, and called their friends over.

Celebrating the bright future of their family.

As for the Henan gentry.

But I couldn't be happy at this time.

Because once the scope of the Kingdom of Wei was determined.

That means.

For a long time to come.

The center of the entire Han Dynasty.

It will become Yecheng.

Myself and the family behind me.

It will gradually decline due to reasons such as its geographical location.

When I think of Cao Cao at the beginning of his business.

His troops, horses, money and food were all provided by himself and his family.

These people were furious.

They feel they have been deceived.

Because of anger, because of unwillingness.

These people gathered together directly.

They were preparing to once again force Xun Yu to take sides by submitting a joint letter.

Then let Xun Yu represent himself and others.

Go negotiate with Cao Cao.

Fight for the interests that belong to the Henan gentry!

But it's a pity.

All their actions.

They are all under the surveillance of the school history office.

Just the moment they gathered together.

Cao Zhi and Xu Chu, with a thousand men and horses, surrounded the courtyard where they had gathered.

It turned out to be Xu Chu.

These people panicked instantly.

After all, these days, the entire Yecheng.

The legend of "Xu Chu beheading Zhong Yao while drunk" is still circulating.

In the eyes of this gentleman.

But it doesn't matter whether you are a noble or not.

And after seeing a thousand armored cavalry.

These people were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking.

They seemed to see it.

The image of his head being hung at the city gate.

"Don't be afraid. There are so many of us. I don't believe they dare to kill us all!"

"Don't forget, we still have many people holding important positions in various provinces in Henan. If they dare to kill us, our people will rise up in rebellion overnight, taking Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places with them, and surrender to Liu Bei and Liu Biao!"

Someone yelled.

His voice was passionate.

His words were inspiring.

But not many people responded.

Because those who can become superiors are not fools.

When I think about what happened not long ago.

The tragic scene of Zhong Yao's entire family being slaughtered.

These people understand.

If you still cannot see the situation clearly at this time, you will continue to resist stubbornly.

Then myself and my family in Yecheng.

All heads will fall to the ground.

The thought of his current high position, his beautiful wife and concubines, and his immense wealth would vanish in an instant.

These people couldn't help but feel regret in their hearts.

They regret it.

Why am I so stupid?

I have to come forward at this time.

If the family declines, then it declines.

Anyway, it’s the accumulation of several generations in my family.

After that, it will be enough for you and your descendants to eat for decades or even hundreds of years.

But once he was executed by Cao Cao on the charge of treason.

Then there will be nothing left!

What people fear most is comparison.

Before Cao Zhi and others appeared.

What they were thinking about was how to regain the interests that originally belonged to the Henan gentry.

But after seeing a thousand cavalrymen.

Their only thought at this moment is how to survive!

……

Just as everyone was trembling.

Cao Zhi rode out on his horse.

Looking at the people in front of him who looked like they had lost their parents.

Cao Zhi knew

The deterrent effect has been achieved.

So he smiled and said:

“It’s quite lively here!”

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone felt a chill in an instant.

Especially the smile on Cao Zhi's face at this time.

It even made them vaguely have the illusion that they were seeing their own breasts.

Just when everyone was trembling and at a loss.

Cao Zhi waved his hand.

Immediately, soldiers brought up dozens of boxes.

Dozens of boxes filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

???

These people looked confused.

"My father said that he has just been promoted to the throne of King Wei and will benefit all the people. These gold, silver and jewels are his favor to you!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

After these words were spoken, the confusion on these people's faces deepened.

"Why, you don't want to!"

At this moment, Xu Chu snorted coldly, and the murderous look on his face almost became tangible.

"Yes, we are willing!"

"Yes, we all do!"

"If Sikong can be promoted to the King of Wei, we are all willing!"

……

Someone in the crowd kept shouting.

Along with their words.

Soon, these Henan gentry who had previously wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death instantly changed their stance.

You will never know how strong you are until you are on the verge of death!

"In that case, divide the treasure among you!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

These people are submissive.

Soon, dozens of boxes of treasure were divided among them.

"Haha, you're all doing well, I'm very happy. Oh, and there's one more thing I want to tell you. My Kingdom of Wei has just been established, and we need a large number of officials. As long as you're willing to come, I promise you that everyone will have a chance to get promoted and make a fortune!"

After saying this.

Cao Zhi bowed slightly to everyone.

Then he led the way and left.

As for Xu Chu, he looked at these people viciously and left helplessly.

The thousand cavalrymen behind them also followed them and left quickly.

"Fourth Young Master, no, Prince, why don't you let me kill them all? I brought enough wine today!" Xu Chu said unwillingly.

When talking about wine, Xu Chu's face immediately showed pride.

Ever since the news of him "beheading Zhong Yao while drunk" spread.

In today's Yecheng, he basically walks sideways.

"If we kill them, what will happen to the families behind them? Even though there are only a few of them, the power behind them can shake the entire Henan Province!"

Cao Zhi sneered.

"Then kill them all!"

Xu Chu said confidently.

Cao Zhi: “…”

……

After Cao Zhi and others left.

These gathered representatives of the nobles did not leave immediately.

Everyone looked at each other.

No one understood why Cao Zhi did this.

"Why, you ask?"

"Of course it's to win people's hearts!"

"In that case, should we take this treasure or not?"

"Why not take it? This is what Cao Mengde owes us. We are taking back what belongs to us!"

"You can keep the treasures, but no one is allowed to go to the so-called Wei Kingdom officials!"

"Don't worry, we're not stupid. Why would we lower ourselves to become traitors and follow Cao Mengde instead of being good officials of the Han Dynasty?"

"That's right, we're not going..."

……

These people are talking to each other.

A consensus was reached quickly.

That is, I took the money, but if I want to lower my status and become an official of your Kingdom of Wei, you’re dreaming!

After saying these words.

These people then went back home.

What Cao Zhi did today scared them.

They want to have sex with several beautiful concubines.

To comfort their wounded hearts.

……

For what happened here.

Xun Yu naturally had heard of it as well.

But these people didn't come to find me in the end.

Plus, there was no bloodshed today.

So Xun Yu ignored it.

the next day.

Xun Yu went to the Secretariat as usual.

Just arrived at the Shangshutai.

Xun Yu saw a thick stack of official documents on the desk.

See these documents.

I also thought of Cao Zhi's evaluation of myself when he first persuaded me.

Xun Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "As expected, this court still can't do without me!"

Thinking about this, Xun Yu picked up an official document.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xun Yu's face turned ashen.

There is no other reason, because it is in this pile of documents.

Nearly 90% of them were officials from Henan gentry families who applied to go to the Kingdom of Wei.
