Cao Cao spoke a few words, and there was silence outside the ancestral temple. The young people had excited expressions on their faces, while the older people looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.

There are some people in this world who are born to achieve great things.

Because they have great characters that ordinary people don't have, perseverance, the will to never give up, the courage to be the first, and the qualities of not being afraid of difficulties are some of them.

Cao Cao is such a person. He has many characteristics that only people who do great things can have, such as persistence and perseverance.

Most things in this world, from God's perspective, are clear as to how they should be done, and latecomers can always judge a person's wisdom arbitrarily.

But in fact, in an environment full of darkness and fog, not knowing whether there are opportunities or dangers ahead, how many people dare to do one thing firmly?

Raising an army to serve the king is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

It is unimaginable how much resources are consumed to form an army capable of fighting. It is no exaggeration to call it a gold-swallowing beast.

Moreover, after forming an army, there will always be wars, and victory is easy to say.

As long as the battle is defeated, all investments will be in vain, and everything will be lost in an instant.

The purpose is to minimize the losses caused by business operations while ensuring the distribution of rights and dividends, and to attract fewer investments, the probability of success is smaller, and the possibility of the investment being wiped out is higher.

Thinking of that, Peijun immediately bowed deeply and said solemnly, as if he was swearing: "Cao has definitely betrayed your trust."

Yuan Shao of the top wealthy family in Luoyang, Runan Yuan Family, is your brother.

Cao Cao was a man from the county, with a humble reputation and humble talents. Fortunately, the emperor favored him and made him a councilman, and then retired as a captain.

Only these high-status heroes and weaklings would use their wealth and life to gain an unknown future.

"The sky is in chaos, the country is in turmoil, the Taiping rebel army has retreated to Luoyang seven times, and the royal family is in danger.

It is no exaggeration that a top-level noble family could withstand several victories of the princes. Because Cao Cao was not that special and weak that needed to suppress the lives of his entire family.

...

Or is the throne a fragrance?

That time, they only recruited Xiangyong, but invited nobles and small heroes to join. The signal revealed was very obvious. What are they waiting for?

Now that the reputation accumulated over the years has finally come into play, I am known among the Cao family, and with the reputation of the Cao family, Cao Cao and Xiahou family, the number of heroes from the counties and counties who come to join me is as few as the crucian carp crossing the river.

The elder's brows were slack. I am the manager of a family's smallest resource, when the future of a family is willing to lead me.

Everyone in Cao Cao was unfamiliar with that group of people. They were from another small family in Qiao County, the Xiahou family.

Emperor Wu was filled with emotion and said: "A pair of Wu Xianghou said: 'My husband was born between heaven and earth. He should carry an eight-foot sword and make great achievements in this world. How can he be depressed in pen and ink?'

That moved me very much. I looked up at my brothers from the Cao Cao clan, and then at the Xiahou clan with smiles on their faces. I felt quite emotional for a moment.

In the eight hundred years since Xiao Han, everyone in heaven has learned how precious reputation is.

Peijun's words rang in everyone's ears, "Because Emperor Xiaocheng of the previous Han Dynasty loved his family so much that he was able to rise to prominence. Now that the country of the Little Han Dynasty is in danger, can the family just sit back and watch?"

You must know that in that era, the governor of the county was regarded as the king of the country. This shows the prestige of Cao Cao and the Xiahou family among the Cao family, and the importance of Peijun's reputation back then!

You, Cao Mengde, are very capable of fighting, but they are all vague, right? Do you still remember why you, Cao Cao, became famous?

The most outstanding children in the family are willing to pray to me, and they all drink in unison. Of course they are!

Before the head of the Xiahou family exchanged greetings with the head of the Cao Cao family, he walked directly towards Mou Guan. Looking at Pei Jun, who was not a short man in stature, but was full of pride, my eyes were full of admiration and I patted him heavily. Pei Jun's shoulder said: "Cao Cao is going to prosper if he doesn't have a son like Meng De.

The Xiahou family was prominent for a hundred years, and then experienced a hundred years of decline. They continued to rely on their ancestors' capital, until they completely declined in the late Han Dynasty, and then they separated and lived in various counties.

In the family with the seventh surname, the prince of Qi Gong and you are brothers, and they should also know. "I am willing to lead my brother, serve the emperor, and defend the Han Dynasty!"

It’s Emperor Xiaocheng!

Emperor Wu was a native of Mou Guanqiao County. His surname was Cao, his courtesy name was Cao, and his courtesy name was Mengde. He preceded Qiaohou in the Han Dynasty. Qiaohou was born from King Pei Taiqian, and King Peixiao had the same mother and brother.

Peijun once wandered among the Cao family, came to recruit talented people and then went to Luoyang, where he became famous.

If he really became a general in the Western Conquest due to his merits before the Taiping Army was pacified, he would definitely have done less conquests and let those people worship him as generals.

When the first brother knelt down on one knee, it was only a courtesy between brothers, but a courtesy from a minister to the monarch, and everything changed.

The deafening sound echoed in the ancestral temple. In such an environment, it seemed as if Cao Cao's ancestors were speaking.

The Xiahou family and Cao Cao were married to each other. Their relationship was complicated and simple, and they were hardly a family.

Why do those top nobles fight alone instead of supporting the princes?

Mou Guanjian of Cao's Qiao County was a small wealthy family in the local area. Because he had no family tradition of Confucian classics, he was considered a noble family.

Qiao County doesn't have a son like him, so it can survive the Taiping Army.

Only thousands of young men in the county joined the army. Among the entire Cao family, there were probably no more than 10,000 rural warriors who could be recruited.

Peijun's move of using tiger skins to make small flags produced remarkable results. All counties enthusiastically joined the army. The most important thing is that many powerful and weak landowners with little property came to join me.

Is it because the princes have too little power?

When I ordered you to die, I engraved "The tomb of Qiaohou Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty to the West," and it will be a blessing in this life." The clan became more and more strange, and its name was passed down to counties. At the age of seventy, it was recognized as a talented person! - "Book of Wei" ·The Chronicles of Emperor Wu"

Peijun was very happy when he heard this. If I could get help from the Xiahou family, I would be even less sure that I would be able to make meritorious deeds.

The ancestors of the Xiahou family were heroes in the founding of the country, Ruyin Marquis Xiahou Ying, and the Xiahou family that is still active today, no matter which county it is in, is a branch in one case.

As expected, they are brothers in battle. Father and son fight in the army. If you want to achieve a small career, you must rely on your clan brothers. Today, everyone is your humerus.

Is it because he has benevolent intentions and hopes that others will share his profits and power? Cao is willing to spend all his wealth to recruit warriors, each armed with armor, to fight vigorously and show off his power to save the little Han Dynasty."

Seeing the Xiahou family, everyone in Cao Cao smiled. The head of Cao Cao's family went to greet him and asked about the purpose of the Xiahou family's visit.

As soon as the words of the head of the Xiahou family came out, everyone was shocked. What I gave Peijun was just a few of Mou Guanjian's children, but an investment from the Xiahou family. The connection between the Xiahou family and Mou Guan was already very close. , now it is to continue to weaken!

Even the head of a county with two thousand stones and the prefect of the Cao family could do that scene.

I have been to the Cao family several times, and no one is more worthless than you?

What Meng De said just now is very bad. The family is founded on loyalty. The Xiahou family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and they are not what they are today. How can they fall behind others?

You, Cao Mengde, want to serve the monarch and guard the little Han Dynasty. Are you willing to take the lead?

It cannot be said that the emperor definitely wants the eight Yi tribes, and the Xiahou family has run away.

If there are any more, the entire family will go bankrupt. The family is a complex of political and economic groups tied by blood relationships. Without the family assets, it is only a matter of time before the family completely declines.

Before Cao Cao and the Xiahou family made up their minds, Peijun sent hero posts to all the counties in Mouguan, stating that they would build King Qin's army and join King Qin in Luoyang.

However, the Xiahou family was regarded as a general, and they did not know how to train generals. They also owned extensive land and were very prosperous in Qiao County.

Everything is ready, raise the flag, King Qin sets sail!

But that is not the charm of Peijun. I am a gambler, but I tell people clearly what the family should do and how the family should do it.

King Qin’s affairs will definitely fall into place.

When the wind is strong, you can see the strong grass, and when the weather is rough, you can see the loyal ministers. Is there no hero in the county who is willing to work with Cao to serve the king?

Nephew Meng Dexian, let’s see who among his clan brothers he likes. You let us follow him and serve him as our master.”

Even with the Cao family's background, if they form King Qin's army, they will experience at most two failures.

I was planning to contact Mou Guanjian. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I thought that the head of Mou Guanjian's family actually offered to help me.

Questioning!

Everyone in Mou Guan either turned their heads or turned around to take a look, only to see a group of people retreating. They were neither old nor young, either wearing official uniforms or wearing high-end clothing.

Are you waiting for the Taiping Army to break through the county and then skin and plunder all of you people?

Emperor Wu was very generous, had no power, lived between Mou Guan, and was dissolute. He was a ruler of the industry and had no chivalrous style. All his brothers respected him. There was also an old man in the family. He said to Emperor Wu: "Cao Cao has been favored for one hundred and seventy years." Retreat, now that I have the Qilin son, can I retreat as a minister?!"

In the era of Confucian classics, those people had no status in the officialdom. The commander was naturally considered low, but not many of them were born strong generals. Some of them, such as Dian Wei, were even called It is too much to say that there are ten thousand enemies.

What else do these so-called financial and financial resources count for?

The head of the Xiahou family thinks it's okay. I don't think bad of Peijun. I see that even if the rebellion of the Taiping Army is suppressed, all regions must support their own troops and respect themselves. Since the situation of the princes is like this, if my family can support it, it is natural to have to To help my family.

Pei Jun's father sighed slightly and was about to speak when he heard a low voice, "What Meng De said is bad!"

I'd better come to you and wait until the Taiping Army comes to the city. Don't blame you for saving me in the face of death.

According to the survival rules of the noble clan, Mou Guan's behavior was appropriate.

Why does one's own family invest in a certain group of princes, instead of pulling the nobles from the same county and state to invest together?
