Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 463: Yunxiao Cixun joins four more people, followed by General Cao Pi

"Wen Lie, don't be in a daze, go and thank me."

Cao Xiu came to his senses only after Pang De reminded him.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

This is how people are, the more they have been looking forward to something for a long time, when it actually comes true, it will feel unreal.

He is Cao Cao's adopted son, and his starting point is much higher than others.

Sometimes he even wondered if it was because of the shackles of his identity that it was difficult for him to go further.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking everything.

Even his adoptive father can see his merits!

He immediately came out of the queue, knelt down on his knees and performed a full salute regardless of his armor.

Because of the excessive joy, tears filled his eyes, and his shoulders trembled slightly: "Don't thank the King of Wei for your kindness, my child. I will die without mercy and sacrifice my life to repay you!"

Cao Cao watched Cao Xiu grow from a boy to a famous general. Naturally, I have more feelings than others.

He couldn't help but praise: "Wen Lie is really the Cao family's thousand-mile horse, get up."

"Here."

"General Pang De, who fought bravely and led the army to attack with the style of a champion, added General Polu and made him the Marquis of Jiting in the West."

"Thank you, King Wei."

"The young general Xia Houba has the style of being a father, and he joins the prince Xian Ma."

Since Liu Xie had no heirs, there was no such thing as a crown prince.

Such promotion at this time was just like Huang Xu who forced Xiahou Ba to serve under Cao Ang.

Now that Huang Xu is the only direct descendant of Cao Ang, he is too weak. This arrangement allows everyone to see Cao Cao's determination to establish Cao Ang, which naturally cuts off the petty thoughts of some speculators.

As for Xiahou Ba, I can only say that the future is promising.

The descendant who was directly carried to the humerus of Cao Wei II like this, at least until Cao Ang officially became the prince, could not do much.

It is foreseeable that Xiahou Yuan was favored in the first generation, and his son Xiahou became the dominator in the second generation. It was only a matter of time before he became a marquis and a general.

"Yunhui's chief official is Mi Fang. He is good at managing finances and is eager for justice. He is a thief in the prime minister's palace and is temporarily staying at Yunhui's disposal."

Cao Cao would not touch Zhang Wu's God of Wealth, and the reward for Mi Fang was more about fame than profit.

Yunhui's current normal operation is inseparable from Mi Fang. If he is really transferred away, Yunhui's soldiers will have to go to drink the wind in less than three months.

Cao Pi excitedly waited for Cai Yong to read his name. Unexpectedly, after adding rewards to Mi Fang, Cai Yong changed the subject and directly began to read out the reward for Baima Yicong.

Lord Zhao Yun remained unchanged and added the southern general position. This also established the tone of this award.

White Horse contributed the most to the battle in Jingbei. Zhao Yun has not received any honors, so he probably can't count on anyone else.

The rest of his subordinates each have their own seals.

After the white horse comes the flying bear.

After Cao Xiu, Cao Chun became the second person to be included in Yunxiao Pavilion's second honor in this award. The southern general's position was added to the army.

Another burst of thanks.

Later, Wolf Cavalry Huang Zhong became the general of the left, and he became the top boss of the military.

Along with Cao Ren and Lu Bu.

Huang Zhong's superb martial arts skills are rare in the world. As he reaches his age, every battle on the battlefield can be regarded as one less battle.

Cao Cao placed him on General Zuo at this moment, which was regarded as recognition of the veteran's achievements.

"General Ma Chao, brave and good at fighting, loyal and righteous, has been promoted to General of the West and ranked second in the Yunxiao Order."

"Tiger general Xu Chu, who has meritorious service in guarding and bravery in battle, is honored by Li Yunxiao." The two men, who had fought bloody battles far away on the battlefield, looked at each other and smiled, and came out one after another: "Thank you, King Wei, for your kindness!"

There will be no more clouds in the sky after that.

One year later, the world was about to be settled, and Yunxiao only had four people with secondary honors, and none with outstanding honors.

After hearing the end, Cai Yong started to recite empty words in official dialect, but Cao Pi still didn't hear his name.

"Brother-in-law, I."

Zhang Wu also felt his temples tingling, and he tried to calm down his irritation: "What's the rush?"

Cao Pi said aggrievedly: "My father made it clear that he deliberately missed me, but he also said that an enlightened king will be rewarded for his merits. I won the battle no matter what, why do you ignore my merits like this? Just because I am The second son of King Wei? Just because I might threaten my eldest brother’s position as heir apparent?”

Zhang Wu muttered to himself.

Emperors have behaved like this since ancient times. When they make up their mind to support one son, they will deliberately suppress other children.

It’s hard to comment on the emperor’s methods and tactics, but as a general, fighting for the throne is an afterthought. How can he lead the army without knowing rewards and punishments?

Cao Pi was a good young man, but he was hypocritical and expressive in his temperament. If the pressure is too harsh, it will be counterproductive.

Furthermore, his brother-in-law is not only his subordinate, but also his little fanboy.

If you can't even protect him, how can the Yunhui warriors believe Zhang Wu's clear rewards and punishments in the future?

As the king's edict came to an end, Cai Yong retreated and Cao Cao stood up: "At the beginning of spring, the war is temporarily suspended, and the generals can perform martial arts on their own to provide peace of mind to the people."

Zhang Wu couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the queue: "Father-in-law, please wait a moment. We won't be in a hurry to perform martial arts for a while."

"Oh? What else is there for Zi Qian?"

"When my father-in-law had a secret conversation with me before, he said that if Wen Lie ascended to a high position, General Fenwei would be succeeded by Cao Pi. Why not take this opportunity to make it clear?"

Cao Cao was stunned.

He himself didn't know when such a secret conversation took place.

It's just that the brother-in-law stood up for his brother-in-law and gave his father-in-law a step down.

This is what happened.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi from afar and clearly saw the light in his eyes. He was slightly moved, but he was still cruel: "Oh? I have thought carefully about it. Zihuan is young and only won a small victory. How can he succeed in his previous job? After thinking about it, I'm afraid there may be something wrong, so I'll postpone it for the time being. How about temporarily serving as the captain of the Yamen School?"

Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Is it early? It's getting late. Something seems wrong with Colonel Yamen. Did your father-in-law forget? When I was awarded the title of Hussar General and Champion Marquis, I was only fourteen."

Cao Cao also laughed: "How can a child be compared with a lonely and beloved general?"

"Hahaha, Wu is a beloved general to his father-in-law. Don't you know that Zihuan is also a beloved general to Wu. Now Wu is shameless and wants to take his beloved general back to his official position. I hope my father-in-law will be accommodating."

"Brother-in-law. Either way, forget it."

"It's a bullshit, it can't be counted! In the battle in Jingbei, the former general Lu Bu was not as good as you. He was just a general with a random title."

When Lu Bu heard this, his face darkened.

If you talk about Cao Pi, just talk about Cao Pi. If Zhang Wu fires off like this, doesn't he mean that Lu Bu is incompetent in front of Cao Cao?

Moreover, once the map cannon was fired, Lu Bu was not the only one to be hit?

In the first battle of Jingbei, Cao Pi's number of captured cities was only lower than that of Zhao Yun, and the remaining generals became Cao Pi's background by default.

"Zhang Manzi, you are talking nonsense! In terms of the number of enemies killed, a certain flying bear ranks first, why is it not as good as your Yunhui!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't accept it, let me have a fight. I also want to see if Fei Xiong has fallen under your hands!"

Cao Cao ignored the quarrel between the two and turned around to ask Cao Ang behind him, "What do you think Zixiu?"

"Father, the ancient sages said that you should not avoid relatives when doing things internally, and do not avoid enemies when doing things externally. Pi's military talent is remarkable, why should he be suppressed on the grounds of his youth."

Cao Cao left a meaningful smile and turned down the platform.

He was indeed very conflicted. On the one hand, he was pleased that Cao Ang and Cao Pi were brothers, but on the other hand, he was worried that his brothers would turn against each other a hundred years later, causing chaos in the world.

If Cao Ang had the slightest hesitation, he would not confer a title on Cao Pi, but at the same time he would be disappointed in his eldest son.

Now it seems that I am probably thinking too much.
