On March 1, the 10th year of Jian'an (AD 205), nearly a month after Xun Yu's death, the emperor formally decreed that Cao Cao be made Duke of Wei and awarded the title of Nine Tins.
On the same day, the Ye people dug up a bronze bird in Ye City and presented it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought it was a good omen and was overjoyed, so he ordered to recruit craftsmen to build a bronze bird tower.
At the same time, because Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and the vacancy left after Xun Yu's death, the situation in the court naturally changed a lot, with a number of civil and military promotions and demotions. Xun You succeeded Xun Yu as Minister.
Order, other civil and military ministers also have new positions assigned.
Generally speaking, Gao Shun would not care about the changes in his position in the DPRK, but this time, two people caught his attention.
Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu was appointed as the chief secretary. Sima Yi of Hanoi was appointed as the literary secretary.
At a previous cultural gathering in Yingchuan, Gao Shun had a relationship with Yang Xiu, but that was ten years ago, and now Gao Shun has no impression of Yang Xiu.
But even so, Gao Shun still has a deep memory of the classic "Death of Yang Xiu" in history. Now that Yang Xiu has entered the political arena, he wonders whether he will continue his original destiny?
Yang Xiu is thirty-one years old this year. It stands to reason that he is the son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao. He is also very talented and will never become an official so late. According to rumors, Yang Xiu is arrogant and often arrogant, so he is favored by Cao Cao.
I don't like it, and he is also Yuan Shu's nephew, so he has never had the opportunity to become an official. Until now, Cao Cao made him a small chief clerk.
As for Sima Yi, let alone Gao Shun, who came from a later generation, how could he not have heard of this name?
What's more, Sima Yi was also present at the Yingchuan Literary Meeting and met Gao Shun once.
Sima Yi is twenty-seven years old this year, and it is not too early for him to become an official at this age. But Sima Yi and Yang Xiu are different. Yang Xiu is someone who Cao Cao does not want to use at all, while Sima Yi is someone who Cao Cao wanted to recruit, but was rejected.
The other party refused.
This time, Cao Cao got a little cruel. When he sent people to conquer Sima Yi, he asked the envoy to tell Sima Yi that if he didn't come, he would die. In fact, Cao Cao also sent people to tell Sima Yi a similar threat before, but Sima Yi did not
Why should you take it seriously? Killing someone without success is an act of defamation and is not done by a wise master. However, this time, perhaps it was because of Xun Yu's death that Sima Yi became cautious. Even a hero like Xun Yu could die.
If he was so unclear, who would he be in front of Cao Cao? With Cao Cao's current status, how could he care about a little reputation? So Sima Yi did not dare to go against Cao Cao's wishes and accepted his recruitment as a literary scholar.
Although Gao Shun had met Sima Yi in the past, he was still a young man at that time, and now that times have changed, his impression has long been blurred. During the court meeting, Gao Shun took a closer look at Sima Yi, and found out that this young man did not
He was quite handsome, but his face was also pretty and handsome. His eyes looked very deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. However, Gao Shun looked at Sima Yi for a long time, but he didn't see the so-called "
You have to know that this demeanor of Sima Yi is the most famous in later generations. But this is normal. If you can see the opposite at a glance, then Sima Yi has already been clicked by Cao Cao, so there is no chance.
Get descendants to usurp the throne and seize the dynasty.
——————————————————————————————— March 6th, Cao Cao was the coach, 100,000 soldiers, and the eldest son Cao Ang
With Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, Ma Dai, Pang De, and Li Tong as generals, Jia Xu as counselor, and Dian Wei as guard, he sent troops to Liangzhou to attack Han Sui.
Liu Biao has captured Xuchang, and Sun Jian can't fight him for a while, so the next person to deal with is Han Sui.
Han Sui's current situation is not much better than Liu Biao's last year.
Although he killed Ma Teng and annexed Ma Teng's tribe, Xiliang worshiped Ma Teng, and many people in Ma Chao, especially the Qiang people, respected Ma and his son. Han then killed Ma Teng.
, it is in full view of the public and cannot be concealed at all. It can be said that it is well known that there are not many people in Xiliang who sincerely obey Han Sui.
As for the Qiang people, after Han Sui returned to Xiliang, they started to cause chaos all day long, one wave after another, and they never stopped.
At this time, it was the right time to send troops to attack Xiliang, and it would not be too difficult, so Cao Cao did not send too many famous generals. For the attack on Han Sui, he could take Ma Dai and Pang with him in order to avenge Ma Teng.
The two generals in Germany, who have a grudge against Han Sui, can make themselves more righteous. In addition, they can send a group of rising stars to let them practice their skills in this battle.
Cao Ang is twenty-nine years old this year and has outstanding abilities in all aspects. When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou last year, Cao Ang was in charge of Xuchang and handled all the internal affairs in an orderly manner. Although he was assisted by Xun Yu and other capable ministers, Cao Ang's own
Political ability cannot be ignored either.
Cao Cao is very satisfied with Cao Ang as his successor, and all his civil servants also agree with Cao Ang very much. Now as long as Cao Ang can establish unshakable prestige in the army, Cao Cao can safely entrust everything to Cao Ang in a hundred years.
In hand.
Therefore, during this attack on Liangzhou, Cao Cao directly promoted Cao Ang to the position of deputy commander in order to give him more opportunities to gain authority in the army.
Although Cao Cao intended to use this battle to train his rising stars, the battle turned out to be much smoother than Cao Cao had originally expected. Only when Cao Cao's army reached the border of Liangzhou did they hear the news that Han Sui had personally come to ask for surrender.
Cao Cao was greatly surprised by this, but he was overjoyed after the accident, and then felt a little regretful. Although Han Sui was not difficult to deal with as expected, it is a good thing after all that he can subdue the opponent without much effort. But
The juniors have lost an excellent opportunity for experience, and they can’t help but feel a little regretful.
The place to formally accept Han Sui's surrender was chosen as Jincheng.
