Chapter 592: Pei County Cao Family Has a Son
In Luo Xiao’s army.
Many generals did not understand what the Great Sage Master was doing and why he did not just charge into Luoyang. After enduring for a long time, they finally could not hold it in any longer and went to Luo Xiao's tent to inquire.
Luo Xiao looked at the map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall. Compared with the map of the early Han Dynasty, this map had shrunk a little.
A large area of Liaodong Protectorate in the northeast was occupied by the powerful Yan State.
The State of Yan was founded by the Han people, with the secret help of the Luo family. They were cultured and civilized, and were able to survive in the cruel world of ice and snow. The fighting power of the soldiers of the State of Yan was terrifyingly strong, which could be summed up in four words - fearless and unafraid of death!
In that cruel environment, where one could die at any time, who would cherish life?
The reason why no further progress has been made in recent years is that there are huge conflicts among the major clans within the Yan State. Although there has not been a fighting, it has tied up a large part of the energy.
Hearing the questions from the generals, Luo Xiao sighed slightly, pointing to the map on the wall and said: "What a powerful Han Dynasty! Looking around, no force can be considered its opponent.
Such a powerful dynasty was corrupt to such an extent internally. However, with three hundred years of accumulated power, no one would have thought that the Han Dynasty would perish.
What should be done to break the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty?
Is it enough to just capture the emperor?
Perhaps everyone in the world felt that the emperor was a tyrant and could no longer represent the Han Dynasty.
I thought about it and the only way is..."
All the generals were extremely shocked by Luo Xiao's method, and then they trembled deeply. They knelt on the ground and kept shouting, "Supreme Emperor Su Wang, may you have infinite life and blessings."
Luo Xiao walked through the crowd kneeling on the ground and went outside the tent. Elite soldiers of the Taiping Dao kept coming from various states, but he did not pay attention to them.
He just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky and observing the general situation of the world.
…
After talking with Jia Xu all night, Luo Kong deeply understood what his mother said. When he left the Western Regions and just entered Liangzhou, a strategist with such extraordinary talent appeared.
Moreover, according to Jia Xu, his close friend Li Ru, who assisted Dong Zhuo, was no less inferior to him. Even if he was slightly flattered, it should only be between similar and inferior.
In a place like Liangzhou where culture and culture are scarce, such talented people can grow up. How many talented people are there in the Central Plains, which is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery?
Jia Xu was kept by Luo Kong's side. He planned to train Jia Xu to be his strategist in the early stage, and introduce Jia Xu to the family in the later stage. Such a talent should not accompany him to die.
The Western Region Army did not stay in Liangzhou for long. It contacted officials and clans along the way and, after friendly conversations, obtained supplies of food and fodder, and most importantly, food to feed the horses. Then, the Western Region Army headed eastward.
Dong Zhuo was contacting the Qiang tribes, the smaller warlords in Liang Province, and the large clans that had close relations with the Qiang people. The land of Liang Province had great potential that could be tapped.
In an era when cavalry was king, even though Liangzhou's population was smaller than those of the big states and its war potential might be weaker, the sudden outbreak was something that no one could ignore. If it were not for the pressure of logistics, with the horsemanship of the Liangzhou people, it would not be a problem to control 300,000 soldiers.
…
Pei County.
Among the many counties and kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, Pei County was relatively famous. The state of Ying, which was once conferred by Xiao He, was located in Pei County. With the relocation of the state of Ying to Lanling, Pei County no longer had any top families.
It was not until Huo Guang searched for beautiful women all over the world to continue the lineage of Emperor Cheng of Han that the Cao family of Pei County was awarded the title of marquis, and thus prospered.
When the chaos broke out at the end of the Early Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu wanted to confer titles of nobility on his relatives. There were too many people with the title of marquis in the world, so most of the marquisates of the Early Han Dynasty lost their titles except those who had made contributions. Because of their relationship with the royal family, the Cao family was only demoted from county marquis to township marquis, which was already very good.
But the Cao family of Pei County was still a big family in the county. Although it was in continuous decline and was far inferior to the wealthy families in Luoyang, thanks to the emperor's selling of official positions and titles, the Cao family could occasionally serve as high-ranking officials among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. They were considered a well-known family in Luoyang and a second-rate aristocratic family in the local area.
The Cao family of Pei County still has some reputation in the world.
The most outstanding son of the Cao family's generation is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. To say that he is the most outstanding does not only mean that he excels in both civil and military affairs, but the key is that he knows how to handle things, which is the ability that the family values most.
When Cao Cao was studying in Luoyang, he made friends with the children of big families. He was doing very well in Luoyang. He had friends everywhere and they all spoke well of him.
He also has a very high personal charm in the clan. All the young men in the clan respect him and are willing to take him as their leader.
This is Cao Cao’s ability, which many people cannot learn.
Pei County is located in the Central Plains and is naturally one of the most important areas for the Taiping Rebellion. As early as when the Taiping Rebellion just started, the Cao family had already begun to quietly recruit local militia to resist. The young men in the Cao family were quite outstanding, and many of them were very brave in combat.
From the moment the imperial edict to support the king reached Pei County, Cao Cao understood that the opportunity to change his destiny had come, the opportunity to be loyal to the court had come, and the opportunity for his family to turn things around had come.
Outside the ancestral hall, Cao Cao said passionately: "With the Cao family's background, it is so difficult to be among the three dukes and nine ministers for generations.
What's more, although my Cao family is listed as a noble family, we are not a family of Confucian classics.
If you want to go further, you can only become famous through military achievements.
Cao had been studying since he was young, and he wanted to use military merit to earn a way out for himself and his family.
The Han Dynasty had four generals of expedition. Liang Province was the most chaotic and had the most opportunities, so the title of General of the Western Expedition was Cao's wish.
Later, the State of Yan rose too quickly. When we were studying in Luoyang, many people said that the General who Expeditions the East was the pinnacle of the world.
Now that the world is in chaos, it is a good opportunity. Regardless of family background, with the sharp sword in your hand, if you can settle the case and make great contributions, you will be awarded a title of nobility and a general in no time.
My Pei County Cao family was originally just an ordinary powerful family that was dispensable and could be destroyed at any time. However, we have been able to survive for more than a hundred years. What did we rely on?
It was because Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty loved his family and extended his love to them that he became prominent. What kind of grace is this?
Now that the Han Dynasty is in danger, can the family just sit back and do nothing?
Cao believed that the most important thing was to immediately use his family members as the backbone, contact the heroes in the counties and prefectures, rise up and show his power, pacify the Taiping Army, and go to Luoyang to serve the king.
Some people were also eager to send orders to support the king, which were issued to the governors of provinces and counties.
madness!
How stupid!
It's just stupid.
Your Majesty has issued an order to defend the king. Is there anyone's name written on it?
Can the order to support the king be delivered to everyone?
This order to serve the king was issued to every member of the Han Dynasty. We are all His Majesty's subjects. Is there any reason in this world that he can save His Majesty but I cannot?"
Cao Cao's voice resounded throughout the Cao family ancestral temple, deafening, and everyone was silent!
