NOVEL FROG Chapter 93
Cao Jian's proposal undoubtedly gave Boss Cao a suitable step:
He was originally still having a headache, how should he deal with Gao Shun?
He couldn't bear to kill him, and he couldn't let him go, which was extremely useless!
Now with Cao Jian's reminder, with Boss Cao's political wisdom, he naturally understood: putting Gao Shun aside for the time being is definitely the best choice at the moment!
So he hurriedly took advantage of the situation and immediately ordered:
Let someone take Gao Shun away first, and serve him with good food and drink first!
As for what to do next?
It's all up to Cao Jian to arrange it slowly! Anyway, Boss Cao is not going to touch Gao Shun, this"stone in the pit"!
In fact, after Cao Jian took over this hot potato, he was not in a hurry to persuade.
Because according to the current situation, the key to subduing Gao Shun is almost certain: it all falls on the exiled Lu Bu's tiger girl-Lü Lingqi!
Before finding Lu Lingqi, Gao Shun should be left alone!
So far, the Cao army's attack on Lu Bu has finally come to an end...
The next thing is only the post-war finishing.
Finally, after an inventory by Gong Cao and others,
Cao's army had fought several battles since the army set out: they successively captured three major cities, Xiaopei, Xuzhou, and Xiapi! They killed four enemy generals, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, in front of the battlefield!
They eliminated Lu Bu and Chen Gong, the two highest commanders of the enemy army!
They persuaded Zhang Liao, a first-class general whose military power was second only to Lu Bu, to surrender!
They also recruited Hao Meng and Wei Xu, two members of the enemy's"Eight Generals"!
In addition, they captured more than 18,000 enemy surrendered soldiers!
They harvested silver, food, supplies, armor, horses, and countless important materials...
The harvest after the war was so rich that it was quite gratifying!
And throughout the war, Cao's army lost less than 4,000 men and horses in total!
Compared with such a small loss and such a huge harvest?
This battle was simply worth it!!!
Everyone was so happy, so naturally the next thing to do was to have a banquet to celebrate...
After a round of toasts.
Boss Cao was undoubtedly the one with the most emotion among the crowd: after all, he was backstabbed by Lu Bu and his gang, and even his old nest was stolen!
Later, in the"Battle of Puyang", he was almost beaten to death by Lu Bu!
Looking back on all the previous failures, it seems like it was just yesterday...
This has always made Boss Cao feel angry, but he has no way to vent it!
Fortunately, now, because of Cao Jian:
Lu Bu, the biggest threat, was easily eliminated!
How can he not be happy? How can he not be emotional?
He even ordered for this: everyone held a banquet and celebrated for three days!
From this, we can see how happy he is at the moment?
I'm afraid that even in his dreams at night, he would wake up laughing in his quilt.
…………
After the celebration banquet, everything gradually returned to normal order.
Boss Cao knew that he was not very popular in Xuzhou because of the massacre in the early years: so he did not plan to stay after the matter here was settled!
After a short rest, he decided to lead all the soldiers back to the court...
As for Cao Jian, who made the greatest contribution in this war?
According to his original plan, he intended to discuss with his cheap father:
Can he use the prestige he established in this war to get a position as a provincial governor?
Instead of returning to the feet of the emperor in Xudu, where every word and action is restricted everywhere; it is better to be the local emperor of Xuzhou City, which is undoubtedly the most attractive!
Unfortunately, as soon as this idea was proposed...
Boss Cao rejected it with a smile!
"You are such a jerk, don't you?
Do you really think that it is so easy to become the governor of a state?
Although you have made great contributions, your qualifications and age are still a little short.……"
"Want to be officially appointed as the governor of Xuzhou in the name of the court?
I'm afraid that will definitely lead to criticism, and it will not be blocked by those diehards in the court!"
Cao Jian heard helplessly and shook his head, smiling and said: (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Dad, you don't want me to be in the limelight too early, so you are suppressing me, right?
Otherwise, with our Cao family, especially your prestige in the court?
If you really force the petition and let me be the governor of Xuzhou!
It's rare that there are still people, can they really stop it?"
"If my memory is correct, then Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan was also very young! He was already the governor of Qingzhou, and he was doing well there, right?"
When this was said, Boss Cao couldn't help but laugh:
"You stinky boy——！"
"You don't really think that Dad can cover the sky with one hand in the court, do you?
Don't look at Dad's current prestige, seemingly holding the emperor hostage and commanding the princes, as if no one can stop him?
But strictly speaking, he is just a minister of the court now!
Among the three officials, is there anyone who is openly suppressing your father?
In the court alone, there are Taiwei Yang Biao, Si Tu Zhao Wen and others!
What's more, there are so many forces secretly eyeing our Cao family."
"As for Yuan Shao?……"
At this point, Boss Cao couldn't help but flash a bitter smile:
"'~ The Yuan family has three officials in four generations, and their students and former officials are all over the world!
Such a family background is far beyond the reach of our Cao family.……"
"What's more, Yuan Shao himself is very powerful!
Now he has occupied the three states of Ji, Qing, and Bing!
If he defeats Gongsun Zan
, then he will occupy the four states of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing!
With such strength, it is not an exaggeration to call him the greatest lord in the world today.……"
"Just ask, with such a background and such strength!
Who dares to say no if Yuan Shao wants to make his eldest son the governor of Qingzhou?"
After hearing this, Cao Jian didn't care at all.
Instead, he smiled playfully and said meaningfully:
"Dad! Look at the Yuan family, then look at you?"
"They just casually gave their eldest son the post of governor of Qingzhou!
But what about us? I have made so many contributions, but I can't even get the post of governor of Xuzhou!
Even you, Dad, don't even dare to nominate me.……"
"Hey (Hao Nuo Zhao)——! They are both fathers, why is there such a big difference?"
When this joke came out, Boss Cao was so angry that he laughed to death!
I don't know if it was because of Cao Jian's"provocation" that he got provoked.
Boss Cao thought about it, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"That's all——！"
"As the governor of Xuzhou, although daddy cannot give you directly for the time being... Zhu... but, since you want it so much?"
"Well, the worst that can happen is we can just find some workaround!"
"Dad will recommend someone else who is qualified and trustworthy to take it temporarily! In fact, it is completely for you, just waiting for a change of title in the future!
In this way, Xuzhou is also in your pocket, is that ok?……"
After hearing this, Cao Jian couldn't help but feel happy:
"This dad, it's OK——！"
"He even knows the white glove tactics that are common in later generations? He is worthy of being a treacherous hero in troubled times!"
"Leading Xuzhou? Sounds like a good idea.……"
