Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 292 The Cao Family Has Its Own System

Cao Cao suddenly mentioned this matter.

Cao Ang was stunned for a few seconds.

But he soon woke up.

After meeting Cao Cao's eyes and looking at each other for a while, Cao Ang couldn't help but nodded.

He knew where his father's worries came from.

In fact, this so-called gentry is a double-edged sword, which is quite easy to use, but it is also easy to cut yourself when it is backlash.

Right now, the powerful influence of the four major families in Yingchuan is being used to help the Cao family quickly control the entire Yingchuan County, and plant flags symbolizing power in every corner of the county.

This is of course fast and convenient.

But accordingly.

This is the invisible increase, the legitimacy and legitimacy of the four major families.

It belongs to the fact that during the process of the Cao family's control of the local area, a middle layer of agents was set up, which is very powerful for weakening the political authority from top to bottom.

After all, even the Cao family needs the power of the four major families. So for the people who have lived in Yingchuan County for generations, who is more effective, the Xun family and other local clans, or the nominal leader of the Cao family?

I am afraid that most people will choose the former.

Therefore, Cao Cao's concerns are not unreasonable.

Just this moment.

Think about the current situation.

After Cao Ang frowned slightly, he finally bowed slightly to Cao Cao and said immediately.

"Father, what you said is that the child actually thought about this issue before he arranged for Xun Wenruo and Xun Gongda to contact the four major families in Yingchuan County."

"To rely too much on it, so that it is too heavy, and its tail is too big to lose. It will definitely become a trouble in our hands in the future. I know all of this."

"It's just a matter of priority. Compared with the thorny issues that may arise in the future, it is still a major event for us now, which is more important."

"After this matter is over, after Yuzhou has been surrendered except for Runan County, I will find a way to reduce their power and influence."

……

After getting the son's response.

Cao Cao nodded slightly.

"As long as you know what's in your mind."

But after saying this, Cao Cao hesitated for a while, as if he had thought of something.

After a short period of thought, Cao Cao stared at Cao Ang with piercing eyes, then put one hand on the crenel of the city wall, and gestured with the other hand.

"Father knows that you have always had your own opinions, and your vision and resourcefulness are far beyond mine, so in the past, I will try my best to seek your opinions when encountering problems, and I will not interfere with your decisions in normal times."

"But today there is something that I must tell you as a father, and you should keep it in your heart."

Seeing my father say it so solemnly.

Cao Ang could not help but straighten up.

He listened attentively to what Cao Cao was going to say next.

"The so-called imperial art is actually the same as the imperial sword. The blade is too blunt and difficult to use. Then this kind of sword must be sharpened, or we have to throw it away."

"Conversely, if a knife is too sharp, it is easy to cut ourselves, so we should discard such a knife without hesitation."

"The former is nothing more than discarding it, but the latter, if this knife can't cut its sharpness a little bit, then once it is taken by others, it is likely to hurt us."

"So once a knife is so sharp that we lose control of it, we must be ready to discard it at any time and be prepared to destroy it!"

……

Cao Cao was calm at first.

But when it comes to the back.

The tone of voice was already full of murderous intent.

A faint evil spirit appeared around him.

His eyes were full of sharp coldness, and it seemed as if he would be stabbed if he looked at him.

And after such a comparison.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, paused for a while, and then continued to explain to Cao Ang.

"Of course, being a father doesn't mean doing something about the big families in Yingchuan County."

"I want to tell you that as we control more and more places and the territory grows larger, more and more forces and clans will invest in our Cao family."

"These intricate forces will form factions based on various reasons such as place, surname, and even teacher succession."

"But no matter how many factions there are, these should be under the rule of our Cao family, jumping in the fence we have designated. Once any party wants to jump out, or even try to ride on us, then this is too sharp knife."

"All we have to do is break it!"

speak here.

Cao Cao casually pointed to the north.

Covered the entire Yingchuan County with one hand.

Then the voice was calm, but the tone was firm and powerful: "Take the Xun family as an example. They have great influence in Yingchuan County, and even have a certain reputation in the world."

"As for Xun Yu and Xun You, they hold important positions under your command at the same time. It can be said that their family alone is already a very powerful faction."

"If this kind of clan power is obedient and obeys our methods of weakening in the future, then everyone will be happy, but if you have ambitions, then Zixiu, you must not be soft when you strike."

"Don't think that being a father is ruthless, or that these families and capable people have done so much for our Cao family, but they can't do it. The so-called superior must have a ruthless and hard heart!"

……

He looked at Cao Cao, the father who berated Fang Qiu.

A thought suddenly popped up in Cao Ang's mind.

Perhaps because of his high position for a long time, Lao Cao is already in the process of rapid transformation, and even now he has almost transformed.

Compared with the ideal passionate young man who wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo with a knife when he was entrusted by Wang Yun at the beginning, and when he later participated in the Dong Dong League, he wanted to eradicate all evil.

The current Cao Cao should use a mature politician as his title and evaluation.

At the very least, the four major families of Yingchuan should be used as the starting point, and then expanded to the composition of forces and factions, to recognize the relationship between them, and to clarify what one should do.

This set of concepts is very mature.

But now Cao Cao told Cao Ang these words.

Obviously, he was passing on his life experience and political vision to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang felt very good.

Although he has modern thinking, is familiar with history books, and has seen a large number of cases, he is no stranger to the so-called factions and the art of imperial servants.

But Cao Cao can tell him this.

It also means that their father and son have reached an agreement on this point of view.

……

After a little thought.

Cao Ang straightened his face, solemnly bowed to Cao Cao, and then said decisively.

"Father's teachings, children will remember them in their hearts!"

Gave a firm attitude.

A few more smiles appeared on Cao Ang's face, and then he narrated while recalling.

"My child once read the history books, and I still remember that there is a paragraph on it, which says that Emperor Xiaoxuan once taught the prince at that time."

"It is said that the Han family has its own system, which is based on the overlord's way, but how can it be purely taught by virtue and use the Zhou government?"

"I think this is also similar to what you taught, father. There are many forces gathered under my command. My Cao family should use them at the same time. I will never listen to one side, otherwise it will be the way to bring disaster."

"Use what is useful, dispose of what is useless, and eliminate what is harmful, the child understands in his heart!"

The voice just fell.

Cao Cao immediately laughed.

The thick evil spirit gathered around him before was also dissipated at this moment without a trace.

"it is good!"

"It's a good one that is mixed with the way of the overlord!"

Cao Cao patted Cao Ang's shoulder heavily, and nodded approvingly.

"My son is right!"

"Although our Cao family is not a Han family, we are originally Han officials, so naturally we should be like this!"

………………

Just when the Cao family father and son were talking about ideas.

In Luyang County, more than seventy miles away from Fucheng County, Yuan Shuzheng, Sun Jian, and a group of civil and military staff under his command were discussing important military affairs.

"Cao Cao's old thief, Cao Ang's son, and Liu Biao, a thief, are really deceiving people too much!"

"I didn't send troops to attack them, but instead they joined forces and attempted to attack me. They simply don't know how to write the word dead!"

At this moment.

Yuan Shu was standing in front of a large map.

His face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he kept cursing with a ferocious expression.

In fact, when Cao's army and Liu Biao's Jingzhou army launched from two directions, Yuan Shu had already received the news.

He has been paying close attention to the actions of both parties from the beginning to the end, which is his background as a powerful force.

But at the beginning of the event.

Yuan Shu didn't think too much.

I just think that the Cao family wanted to take advantage of the power that had not long since been defeated, and seize the opportunity to occupy the territory of Yuzhou, including Yingchuan County, which is located in the main road.

And Liu Biao must have had the same reason. Taking advantage of his defeat under the Cao family, he crossed Zhangling County and planted a nail in Nanyang County.

For such behavior.

Yuan Shu felt that he could take care of it, but it was unnecessary.

After all, in the five-way battle against Cao Cao, he did suffer certain losses and hurt his vitality.

Can keep it for a while.

It is the same for some less important fringe sites to be given over to the north and south for the time being, and to be retaken after they have recuperated in the future.

……

But Yuan Shu never expected it.

The development of things was different from what he had imagined. The army led by Cao Cao and Liu Biao did not stop within a certain range.

On the contrary, after several cities in a row.

Also continue to advance to Luyang County.

And it is to use all the soldiers under his command to push forward with all his strength.

This is a fool, and he understands what the two families want to do. This is not satisfied with just capturing some territory, but also targeting him himself!
For Yuan Shu, how could he bear this?

He has been stationed in Luyang County for a long time, and this city has been regarded by him as his foundation, and it is also the center of Unicom Yingchuan County and Nanyang County.

Once Cao Cao and Liu Biao teamed up to attack and cause Luyang County to fall, it meant that Yuan Shu would lose his influence over Nanyang County and Yingchuan County for a long time to come.

As for the strategic goal of further conquering the entire Nanyang, and even Jingzhou, it has become a dream.

It can be said that if Luyang County falls, it means that all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, Yuan Shu couldn't back down, and he didn't want to back down, and he didn't feel the need to back down!
……

After scolding a pass.

Yuan Shu calmed down his emotions.

Then he clicked on the location of Luyang County on the map with one hand, and at the same time looked back at the people in the hall, and asked in a low voice.

"The enemy army is coming fiercely, and I can't fight timidly. The current strategy is to repel all the enemies who will attack in the future, so as to protect the safety of the city under one step."

"Everyone, do you have any good strategies to offer, as long as you can defeat the enemy, you can speak freely!"

Everyone in the hall was silent for a while.

But soon, Yan Xiang, a heavyweight among Yuan Shu's vassals, took a few steps outside to the center of the hall, and then said something to Yuan Shu.

"Reporting to the lord, the north and the south are coming fiercely at the moment. This is bound to be a tough battle. Our army will not be immune to the flames of war no matter what. Therefore, the most urgent task is to prepare for a frontal battle with the enemy."

Yuan Shu understood this truth.

So after glancing at the silent Sun Jian, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others, he raised his hand to signal Yan Xiang to continue.

"In addition to preparing the army for war, the subordinates think that the most important thing to do is to send envoys to the camps of Cao Jun and Liu Jun."

"Xiao used profit and loss, promised money and food, even sold the city, regardless of the cost, and tried everything possible to persuade them, thus destroying their alliance."

"As long as any family is persuaded by us to retreat, or even just stop fighting and watch from the sidelines, the current crisis can be overcome!"

……

Yuan Shu's face was a bit gloomy when he made this suggestion.

The battle hasn't started yet.

On his own side, he needs to send someone out to actively seek peace. When he thinks of his majestic son of the Yuan family, he needs to be humble and timid before fighting.

Yuan Shu's heart was filled with anger.

He would have refuted the suggestion loudly.

But his rationality made him understand that the method proposed by Yan Xiang was already the best and most likely to succeed at the moment.

Compared to keeping the roots.

Others seem to be nothing.

What's more, as long as he settles the north-south attack, he can cultivate himself and free his hands.

Then as many things as promised this time, they will be doubled back.

thought here.

Yuan Shu immediately nodded and said: "This discussion is feasible, just write it down. After the discussion is over, I will draft the documents and send people to the camps of the two armies."

Hearing that Yuan Shu adopted his own suggestion.

Yan Xiang couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

He is too clear about the temperament of his master.

Before making a suggestion, he was afraid that Yuan Shu would refuse to accept it because of his arrogance. Then it would be too difficult to play in a limited space.

But okay.

After all, it was the difficult reality of the situation that overwhelmed the temperament of the owner, which gave this matter room for change.

……

But just when Yan Xiang felt relieved.

But Yuan Shu's voice came from beside his ears.

"Promise to benefit and make peace with the two families. If this matter can be achieved, then it will be the best."

"But if the two families are determined and must compete with me on the battlefield, then what good strategy can our army have to ensure victory in the battle?"

The military is not the director of Yan Xiang.

Therefore, he faced the question raised by Yuan Shu.

He didn't answer, but silently retreated back to his original position, and then looked at the general.
