Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son were really rebellious, relying on the emperor to force the princes to reward them at will!

Previously, Cao Cao led his own general and appointed his son Cao Ang as a hussar general!

Now he even dares to blatantly promote Cao Ang as a general!

This made Shuzi, who was only 21 years old, become famous among the princes from all over the world and the heroes of the world!

It is simply bullying the heroes of the world!

It is intolerable to treat the imperial court's famous utensils as a game between his father and son, and to subsidize himself, but what is intolerable!

I want to draft a denouncement so that everyone in the world can see the faces of the Cao family and his son!"

Yuan Shao was in the big tent, jumping on his feet and yelling angrily, extremely angry.

Although he said that he was angry with the Cao family and his son for controlling the court, wantonly manipulating the famous weapons of the court, and sealing his own behavior.

But in fact, What really makes Yuan Shao angry is that Cao Ang, a junior, became a general!

You know, in the first year of Jian'an last year, as soon as Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, he became a little distracted. With the help of the emperor, he named himself a general. The title of great general is superior to Yuan Shao and the princes from all directions.

At that time, Yuan Shao's power was many times more powerful than Cao Cao?

And Cao Cao has always been Yuan Shao's younger brother. How could Yuan Shao tolerate his younger brother riding on his head?

Therefore, Yuan Shao just slightly expressed his dissatisfaction and made a gesture of raising an army to accuse him. Cao Cao was so frightened that he hurriedly abdicated in favor of a more capable person. He led himself as a general of chariots and cavalry and gave Yuan Shao the title of general.

How arrogant was Yuan Shao at that time?

But all this has changed in less than half a year this year!

At first, it was just a battle between Cao Ang and Chenjun. He defeated Yuan Shu's 100,000-strong army and was named a general of chariots and cavalry. After giving up the title of Cavalry General to Cao Ang, he only held the post of Sikong.

Then, Cao Ang went out of Xudu with 5,000 men and horses, and won great victories in the Battle of Lanling and the Battle of Pengcheng, defeating Chang Xi, Zang Ba, Lu Bu, and Zhang Xun successively. Receive Xuzhou and surrender 200,000 troops from all directions, and advance from Chariot General to Hussar General!

At that time, Yuan Shao was kept in the dark, so he didn't know about this.

Even if he knew, he would be a little surprised at most. Not particularly angry.

Because at that time, Yuan Shao was still the nominal general, ranking supreme over the hussar generals.

However, not long ago, Yuan Shao finally learned everything!

Since Cao Ang was named a hussar general, Cao Cao He took the title of general himself and issued an edict to the Xudu court, unilaterally depriving Yuan Shao of his title of general.

However, in order to hide the military plane and give Cao Ang time to deal with the southern princes, he did not directly notify Yuan Shao...

After learning this After the incident, Yuan Shao was so angry and indignant!

Cao Cao, his former younger brother, was so angry that he wanted to confront Yuan Shao!

This was also the time when Yuan Shao mobilized the army of the four states in Hebei and vowed to destroy the Cao family and his son. One of the incentives.

Even so, although Yuan Shao was angry, it was not too difficult to accept that Cao Cao would lead his own general.

After all, this was not the first time for Cao Cao, and he and Cao Cao were peers, and they had some friendship in the past. Yuan Shao is unhappy because his younger brother has grown up and is on an equal footing with his eldest brother. But now, Cao Ang has been promoted to general, making Yuan Shao even lower than his former younger brother's son!

How can Yuan Shao accept it!

Even after learning that Cao Ang's camp is going on During the ceremony for Cao Ang to become the general, Yuan Shao almost had an impulsive thought in his heart. He wished he could mobilize all the troops in the camp and attack Cao's army immediately!

But fortunately, Yuan Shao was not really stupid, and he already had in his mind the idea of ​​annihilating the Cao family and his son in one fell swoop. With his strategy, coupled with the persuasion and guidance of many counselors, Yuan Shao temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​​​a decisive battle.

In fact, Yuan Shao also knew in his heart that even if he led his army to a decisive battle at this moment and denounced Cao Ang for treating the famous imperial weapons as child's play, there would not be many in the world. People will respond.

Because Cao Ang's achievements are really powerful and famous all over the world!

Putting aside the position, just in March, four princes were wiped out in succession and more than 300,000 people were surrendered, which caused more than a dozen counties and hundreds of counties in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other two states to return to their nominal status. In the hands of the imperial court, there is no doubt that it is a great achievement.

Therefore, Yuan Shao simply stopped humiliating himself. He just snorted angrily in front of everyone and said harshly:"Let's let Cao Ang go first. Now the time has come to let Liu Bei deliver a message to Cao Ang." Just wait until Cao Ang falls into the trap and leads his army into the ambush of our army, and then he will lead this son in front of the three armies!"

At this moment, a sergeant suddenly came to report:"Let me report to my lord, there is a shot from among Cao's army. A letter~~."

As he said that, the sergeant held up the silk book tied to the arrow.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately snorted:"At this time, what letter did Cao Jun send?

Could it be that he informed me about Cao Ang's appointment as general and came here to show off his power!"

Although his words were full of contempt, Yuan Shao still couldn't bear it. Out of curiosity, he asked Zuo Zuo to fetch the letter and open it in front of his eyes.

The first moment he saw this letter, Yuan Shao's pupils couldn't help but shrink!

Contrary to what he thought, this letter was not about Cao Ang's promotion to general, let alone Cao Ang's signature, but Cao Cao's!

However, there is an extra prefix in front of Cao Cao's name - Prime Minister!

"Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty sent a message to Mu Shao in Jizhou and said:……"

This is the beginning of the letter. As for the content at the end of the letter, Yuan Shao no longer cares much, but stares at the first few words!

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty fucked!

As we all know, since the late Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty), when Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty abolished the prime minister and appointed Da Situ, until Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu re-established the Han Dynasty and made Luoyang the capital, there was no prime minister again.

It's just that the three public positions are the same as those of the prime minister, and the political power of the prime minister is divided.

Put the general above the three princes and divide the military power of the prime minister!

Even later, the already decentralized power of the Three Dukes was once again divided by the Chancellery, making the Three Dukes almost in name only but without real power.

Except for Dong Zhuo's rebellion a few years ago, when he proclaimed himself a prime minister, there has been no prime minister or prime minister in the world for two hundred years.

Now, Cao Cao has begun to regard himself as prime minister!

This is a position that is higher than the three princes, and even higher than the general!

Because in his letters, Cao Cao mentioned the matter of abolishing the Three Dukes and reinstalling the Prime Minister, making himself the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

Instead of establishing a new prime minister to coexist with the three ministers...

In other words, Cao Cao now consolidates the power of the prime minister into one, and makes the prime minister the most respected person in the court and the leader of hundreds of officials!

According to the Han system, when power was unified, the prime minister had a higher position than the general.

The younger brother who had been following Yuan Shao back then suddenly became the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!

But he, Yuan Shao, was deprived of even the title of general and was just a Jizhou shepherd...

Although Cao Cao recalled his acquaintance with Yuan Shao as a young boy in Luoyang and their friendship with him for many years, and in the tone of the prime minister, he advised Yuan Shao to Don't be stubborn. If you surrender yourself as soon as possible and apologize to the court, you can still save your life.

But in Yuan Shao's view, it was clearly Cao Mengde who was showing off!

It was purely a reflection of the arrogant look on his face after his younger brother leapt above him!

That is to say, there was no word Versailles in this era, otherwise Yuan Shao would have cursed Cao Cao as a dog of Versailles.……

"After Cao Ah'an was castrated, he used to be just a follower behind me, a pig-dog-like thing, but now he dares to call himself prime minister in front of me, and only calls me Jizhou Mu!

Such a proud and arrogant face makes people want to kill him quickly!"

Yuan Shao's anger because of Cao Ang's appointment as general had finally subsided, but now he was aroused again by the letter about Cao Cao's appointment as prime minister! He was even more angry than when he learned that Cao Ang had been promoted to general!

The rest When Hebei Wenwu saw Yuan Shao being so angry and heard that Cao Cao claimed to be prime minister, their expressions suddenly changed.

Ju Shou Tian Feng and others came forward one after another and read the letter carefully, and then they all looked solemn and sighed.

"Just now I thought it was strange that Cao Ang suddenly became the general and asked Cao Cao how to deal with himself.

After all, the general was the highest-ranking person in the imperial court, and the father's position could not be lower than that of his son.

Now Cao Cao's letter makes people understand that Cao Cao actually has such ambitions!

Directly changed the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty for more than 200 years, abolished the three princes, integrated the power of the prime minister into one, and reset the prime minister!

This move has a far-reaching impact on the world compared to when Dong Zhuo claimed to be prime minister.……"

Jushou looked solemn and sighed.

I know the deep meaning behind Cao Cao's actions!

Logically speaking, the prime minister has a higher status than the prime minister. According to the system of the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, the prime minister is above the prime minister, and the prime minister is just the deputy of the prime minister.

Just like the county magistrate is the deputy of the county governor, the Zhisu Neishi Cheng is the deputy of the Zhisu Neishi.

So the original meaning of Prime Minister is actually Prime Minister, the deputy of the Prime Minister.

And Xiang refers to Xiangguo!

However, except for the periods of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He and Cao Shen successively served as prime ministers, and after Lu Chan, appointed by Empress Lu, served as prime minister for a period of time, the title of prime minister was no longer established with the succession of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty!

Because the power of the Prime Minister was too heavy and was not conducive to the power of the emperor, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty abolished the Prime Minister and only used the Prime Minister to assist the government.

The reason for this is that there can only be one prime minister, who has great power.

But there can be more than one prime minister!

For example, Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Right.

Therefore, the emperor could use this to depose and establish prime ministers at will. For example, during the fifty-fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, thirteen prime ministers were replaced, and more than half of them were executed, forced to death, or frightened to death!

Later, the Han Dynasty no longer even had a prime minister, and the military and political power was divided between generals and three centimeters.

Then a ministerial desk was set up to evacuate the Sangong and other external court officials and increase the power of the emperor's trusted internal court officials. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, although Dong Zhuo established himself as Prime Minister, it was actually just a false name, because he did not abolish the Three Dukes, nor did he change the power structure of the Han Dynasty.

He just used his strong force to force the Three Lords, Shangshutai and others to succumb to him and obey his orders.

Moreover, when Dong Zhuo claimed to be Prime Minister, he mainly only entertained himself in Luoyang and Guanzhong, and was not recognized by the princes of the world. There were even incidents of rebellion by the eighteen princes.

Later, Dong Zhuo died, and this childish prime minister disappeared for a short time.

But at this time, Cao Cao, the prime minister, was different from Dong Zhuo who claimed to be prime minister!

Although Cao Cao only claimed to be prime minister and did not lead a state that was more noble than the prime minister, but just by abolishing the three princes and establishing the prime minister, he was infinitely smarter than Dong Zhuo!

Directly in terms of legal systems and systems, the world's political power was placed in the hands of the prime minister, so that he could justifiably rule the country!

In addition, Xun Yu, the minister, is Cao Cao's man. Now the minister's desk is also controlled by Cao Cao. Looking at the court, no one can compete with Cao Cao, the prime minister, in terms of power!

In addition to the generals who hold military power, they can also compete with one or two because they have soldiers.

However, the current general is Cao Ang, Cao Cao's eldest son...

Will Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son and future heir, confront his father?

Won't!

Because everything that belongs to Cao Cao belongs to Cao Ang!

At this time, Cao Cao's father was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He was courteous to all officials and took charge of military and political power. His son Cao Ang was a general and held military power in the world.

The father and son suddenly monopolized all the power of the court in name and in reality! []

Moreover, today's Cao Cao is no longer as afraid of Yuan Shao as he was last year.

With the emergence of Cao Ang, the son of Qilin, and sweeping the princes from all directions, the power of Cao Cao and his son is now not weaker than Yuan Shao, and they are almost evenly matched!

Looking at the world, Yuan Shao could not only denounce Cao Cao and his son, but also condemn Cao Cao's self-proclaimed prime minister.

The rest of the princes did not even have the strength or courage to condemn...

To be precise, except for the broken Jiangdong, the internal strife in Jingzhou, the wait-and-see Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, the dog-keeper Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and the bereaved Xiliang Ma Teng. Apart from the five princes, there are almost no princes left.

Because other princes, including Zang Ba, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si... were all wiped out by Cao's father and son...

In other words, Cao Cao dared to depose the three ministers and install the prime minister. It's because no one can suppress him in the world now!

Even the current Yuan Shao is not enough to make Cao Cao afraid!

The Cao family's father and son have achieved great success and have nothing to fear!

This is the truth behind what Jushou saw!

Jushou was the first to see this, but he was by no means the last.

Gradually, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others also looked more solemn, thinking about this.

Cao Cao's letter seems to be showing off to Yuan Shao, showing off his ambition.

In fact, they were demonstrating to Yuan Shao and his ministers, demonstrating the general trend of the Cao family and his son!

It further demonstrates the confidence of the Cao family and his son!

Before Yuan Shao was defeated, and the outcome was still unknown, he made such a move. He was obviously confident that he would win against Yuan Shao's army... At the same time, he was also asking the Hebei army under Yuan Shao's command and the officials from the four states of Hebei. , convey a signal.

The Xudu court, represented by the Cao family and his son, has gained real power!

Let people in the four prefectures of Hebei understand the situation clearly and make choices.……

".My lord, you should temporarily suppress your anger and do not let Cao Cao's letters influence your emotions.

Although our army has the advantage of Liu Bei as a chess piece, we cannot take it lightly.

Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, now one is the prime minister and the other is a general, dominating the world, showing their contempt for the princes (Zhao).

This battle is not only a decisive battle between the lord and the Cao family's father and son, but it will also determine who will win the battle in the future.……"

Tian Feng took a deep breath and advised Yuan Shaodao.

Now that the war is approaching, as the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, Yuan Shao must not get angry and lose his mind, in case he makes an unfavorable decision...

And Yuan Shao listened, although his anger has not actually subsided..

But he no longer became emotional and resisted the idea of ​​attacking Cao Jun immediately.

He just repeated the military order just now:"The time has come. Go to Liyang and tell Liu Bei to let him act according to the plan.

Once this is done, both Cao Mengde and his son will be defeated by me. When the time comes, let them go underground and call themselves prime minister and general!""

Soon, Yuan Shao's military orders were sent to Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River, less than a hundred miles away.

And Liu Bei has been waiting here for a long time.

More than a month has passed since Liu Bei, on Cao Ang's order, led his army north to relieve Gongsun Zan.

Although Liu Bei did not go, but surrendered to Yuan Shao halfway, he had to put in a full show, even if he pretended to go to Youzhou, he had to include the time on the way back and forth and the time for the rescue.

Therefore, even though they had already made a plan to deceive Cao Ang into entering, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were still waiting.

For more than a month, Liu Bei could be said to have waited like a year.

I can't wait to implement the plan immediately to destroy Cao Ang to avoid long nights and dreams and misfortunes.

Especially after learning from Sergeant Yuan Shao that Cao Cao and his son actually sent Jia Xu to kill three soldiers with two peaches, and destroyed the coalition of princes in Guanzhong, and eradicated the flank threat, Liu Bei became even more anxious.

Fearing that Cao Cao and Cao Ang would lose control due to this, he took Yuan Shao by surprise and defeated him.

Then Liu Bei would have no chance at all!

Fortunately, during this period, everything was safe, and Cao Jun did not take the initiative to attack. It should be that he was unaware of Liu Bei's rebellion and was waiting for news from Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei feel relieved a little.

And now, the time has finally arrived!

He, Liu Bei, will help Yuan Shao destroy the Cao family and eventually establish his own foundation.……
