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

The reason why these agents of the world's noble families in the court are still in the court is mainly to serve as pawns and spies to gather information.

In order to know the distribution and strength of Xudu's troops, so that the noble families can plan the feasibility of concentrating their troops to attack Xudu.

Of course, in the eyes of most people in the noble families, this matter is a foregone conclusion and absolutely feasible.

Because although the Cao family father and son have a lot of troops, they are somewhat insufficient compared with the men in the world.

After all, the world is so big that it is impossible for everyone to be recruited as a soldier.

And the vast majority of the population and men in the world are directly or indirectly controlled by the 15 noble families in this era.

So it means that the noble families hold the vast majority of the world's power.

Once they stick together, even if the Cao family father and son have hundreds of thousands of standing troops, they will inevitably be short of troops.

Because after Cao Ang established Pingzhou, there were fourteen large states in the world, and each state had at least five or six counties and kingdoms, and as many as more than ten counties and kingdoms.

In each county and kingdom, there was at least one great family with power that overwhelmed the land of a county, such as the Sima family of Henei County and the Wang family of Taiyuan County.

These families that spanned a county controlled a population of thousands at least, and tens of thousands at most.

Accumulated, the large and small families in a state could usually easily gather 100,000 strong private soldiers.

Even in some densely populated states, such as Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, etc., those families could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in total...

If not for this, the momentum of the three brothers Zhang Jue during the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not have been disintegrated so quickly.

In less than a year, it was roughly pacified.

The powerful families in a state control most of the power of a state. Can you imagine the power of the families in the fourteen states of the world?

Not to mention the late Han Dynasty when rituals and music were in disarray, even in the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, when the great unity was achieved in history, the aristocratic families joined hands and overturned the rule of the Sui Dynasty!

Therefore, in the eyes of these aristocratic families, although the father and son of the Cao family were powerful, they were only the strongest compared to the individual forces of the world.

If the power of the aristocratic families was combined, it would be several times that of the father and son of the Cao family!

This is also the confidence of Sima Yi in setting up the overall situation of uniting the aristocratic families in the world.

Of course, although Cao Ang's deployment of troops in the court seemed reasonable, it made some of the aristocratic family's spies feel that Xudu was really going to be empty.

But many people looked gloomy, thinking that Cao Ang's move to openly deploy troops in public seemed a bit too easy.

Even knowing that most of the people in the court were spies of the aristocratic families, he did not secretly deploy troops in his general's shogunate, but openly deployed troops in front of everyone in the court....

This behavior clearly has some conspiracy flavor.

Especially because they all know that Cao Ang is a master of military tactics.

Especially because he is good at using military tactics.

Therefore, he is good at using tricks and deception.

So many people think that Cao Ang is deliberately misleading them. Cao Ang must have another plan for the distribution of troops.

At least in Xudu, as the foundation and starting point of the Cao family, it is such an important place that Cao Ang would not leave only a small number of troops for defense...
