Chapter 367: The Worries of the Heirs(1/2)
Listen to his solemn words.
As he spoke, his expression became more and more confident.
At this time, Cao Cao also had a deep smile on his face.
He did not immediately judge whether what his son said was correct.
As long as his son has his own opinions.
That's what he wants to see.
Don't blame him for looking worried now.
He is already over sixty years old.
At this moment, Cao Cao was extremely cautious in choosing his successor.
After all, the world is uncertain right now.
If the heirs who succeed him in the future are not very talented, I am afraid that the foundation created by him will be destroyed in one day!
"Pier, please tell me in detail?"
After thinking deeply for a long time, he faced me head-on, with a smile on his face, and asked.
Just one word.
Wan saw the trust in him in his father's eyes which was extremely encouraging.
Cao Pi felt an inexplicable power rising in his chest for a moment.
After a short period of time to calm down, he immediately handed over his hands and vomited out the response technique he had already planned.
"Father, my son has been receiving military reports from his uncle in recent days. After looking at them for a long time, I thought about how you personally led the main armies to the westward expedition and fought in the land of Hanchuan."
"Then the traitor Liu Bei is obviously desperate to compete with our army for the ownership of Hanzhong County."
After the words fell, Cao Pi thought for a moment, and then analyzed it eloquently: "The enemy's strength is limited, and there must be no spare power to fight with us on two fronts."
"Even during the years when my father led the main force to personally conquer the country, Guan Yu, who was stationed in Jiangling, made many attacks, but they were only small-scale harassment or exploratory attacks."
"There was no large-scale military action."
"This is enough to confirm the kid's guess, and Jingzhou has nothing to worry about."
One word slowly settled.
Cao Pi's expression was as usual this time, without any change.
When Cao Cao saw this, he was secretly surprised.
Look at the supervision of the country's governance over the past few months.
His son Pi was indeed much calmer.
Conversate appropriately and make judgments based on the corresponding situation.
That's it for now.
He felt greatly settled in his heart.
It is not shown on the surface.
But he still showed a symbolic smile and gave a symbolic compliment as an encouragement.
Faced with such complex situations.
If he had been questioned in the past, most of them would have found it hard to express their feelings.
It really makes me feel like I have to do all the hard work myself.
Only then can you gain a lot.
Simply listening to his narration will not work because his knowledge is limited.
Cao Cao saw that his son Pi's views were quite calm, and he felt happy in his heart.
Then, he changed his mind and couldn't help but think: "Pi'er has made great progress now, but Zhi'er is a little lacking in political skills, and all his thoughts are on writing and writing."
As soon as he mentioned the other heirs in his mind, he unconsciously had a worried look on his face.
Ever since he lost his beloved son Ang in the Battle of Wancheng that year, he has been particularly concerned about his children.
It turned out that there was a man under his knees who had supernatural powers and was knowledgeable about the past and present, so he valued it particularly.
but heaven
But now.
He was vaguely disappointed.
Probably because the only one who can reluctantly inherit his mantle is Cao Pier!
The other disciples all have their own shortcomings.
The second son, Cao Zhi, never liked to deal with political affairs. He focused on writing and writing, and spent all day studying knowledge with a group of students.
In terms of literature and art, he also has his style.
This also comforted Cao Cao, and he was particularly fond of him on weekdays.
But governing a country does not require reading the books of saints and sages.
What's more, there are still two heroes, Sun and Liu, standing side by side in Jiangnan.
If you want to stabilize the country's affairs, you must defend your territory without losing it.
No easy task!
Therefore, in recent years, he has focused on cultivating scholars, and his attitude has been much stricter.
As for Cao Zhang, he was a brave man.
If he leads his troops to conquer one side, he will be a good general.
There is absolutely no talent to stabilize the country.
As for the rest of the disciples, not only are they different in status, but they are also incompatible with everyone.
As I age more and more.
However, he discovered that the only person who could barely hold a big position at present was his eldest son Pi.
Especially this expedition to Hanzhong failed.
Cao Cao felt more and more clearly that he was not as physically strong as before, and his energy gradually became a little weak.
Many circumstances have proved that he is already old!
If you don't settle your posthumous affairs well, you won't be able to rest in peace even if your soul is buried under the Nine Springs.
All of a sudden.
Cao Cao suddenly thought a lot.
At this time, Cao Pi, who was standing on one side, looked at his father, who was stunned for a while. He did not say a word to remind him, but stood quietly aside, waiting patiently.
After a while, Cao Cao finally spoke:
"Pier, what you just said is that your basic judgment on the situation is very rational."
"However, this is not a key factor. If you are in charge of the power of the world, you must consider it carefully."
"May my father teach me!"
As soon as he said this, Cao Pi from the side looked extremely respectful and bowed his hands.
Hearing this, Cao Cao cleared his throat and said slowly: "Before the Battle of Hanzhong, Sun sent an envoy to our side to join forces and take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou."
"Although the war has begun, the Sun family did not succeed in the end and took over the land of Jingzhou as promised."
"In addition, just now we had a fierce battle with the Wu army. The military strength also needs to be rested and reorganized. And after learning from the past, the defense will also be redeployed."
"For the weak points that have been ignored before, strengthen the garrison to prevent the Sun family from repeating the same thing again."
"With all the troubles surrounding him, Guan Yu was unable to mobilize his troops to march northward."
"Therefore, during this period of time, although there were occasional battles in Jingxiang, the scale was not too large, and the son's filial piety was enough to deal with it."
A series of words came to an end.
Cao Cao gave a comprehensive explanation of the next situation in Jingzhou.
When Cao Pi heard this, he agreed very much and kept nodding in agreement.
In the following days.
It's dark outside, and the candlelight inside the house is flickering.
Cao Cao held on to the light of the fire and dragged his tired body through the official documents.
"Father, I have already checked these official documents. They are basically nothing major. I will order them to be dealt with!"
"You are old and have recently returned from an expedition. Don't be too overworked."
