Chapter 130 What's the Influence? (For the total 6/30)
Cao, Cao Pi?
Even though Guan Ping had already made sufficient preparations before, his expression suddenly changed when he heard the name.
Oh, he really hadn't heard of Cao Pi's name not long ago, but Sima Fu explained Cao Cao's sons in detail to him, and he finally learned about Cao Cao's current heirs.
Among Cao Cao's sons, Cao Ang, the eldest son, who was most respected by Cao Cao, and Cao Chong, have passed away one after another. Among the current surviving sons, Cao Zhi is the most favored.
Cao Zhi is a genius among geniuses. His poetry is shocking, and his imagination breaks through the sky and far exceeds the sharpness of his brother Cao Pi. However, according to Sima Fu, Cao Pi is also very accomplished in literature, and is more stable, without any very strange temperament.
However, Sima Fu also said at that time that Cao Cao actually didn't like Cao Pi. As for why there were many explanations, Guan Ping finally felt it a little bit today.
If I were Cao Cao, I wouldn't like him either.
OK OK OK Cao Zhi asked me to take him to fight. This is even more ruthless and he wants to be my subordinate!
What do you mean by this?
Guan Ping didn't know much about the situation on Cao Cao now. Seeing that Cao Pi was actually yin and yang himself, he couldn't help laughing:
"Young Master Zihuan said it well, but what does a certain prefect who led the war want to do literary officials? I don't know if there are any such officials in the county, but Young Master Zihuan said there is, that is there!"
A hint of joy appeared in Cao Pi's eyes. He quickly reached out and grabbed Guan Ping's palm tightly, and laughed: "A word is up! It's not worth it. I'm trying to drive everyone away today. If General Yun doesn't recruit me, he will be afraid that he won't recruit others here."
"Clam?"
"Don't General Yun still understand?" Cao Pi's round face was full of calm smiles. "I came to Xiangyang. I happened to hear that General Yun was going to recruit subordinates. I asked everyone to wait a moment and come to find General Yun first. If General Yun refused to recruit me, hey, it would be impossible to recruit others again today."
"Thank you, Mr. Zihuan for your kindness."

Le Jin and Ma Liang were sweating profusely today, including Cai Mao, who was speechless and waited in the distance anxiously, looking at Guan Ping's mansion.
It’s not that they are not loyal enough, but that Cao Cao’s own son came to the door in person and agreed not to let them get close, and no one of them dared to make trouble.
"Okay, what is Cao Zihuan doing? He clearly wanted to murder Tanzhi! Who gave him the idea!" Le Jin looked anxious.
He still remembers the case before Cao Cao dismissed the Third Duke. Zhao Wen, who was known for not being afraid of death, conquered Cao Pi for some reason. This caused Cao Cao to be furious and abolished all the three Dukes and directly recognized himself as the prime minister. Zhao Wen, who was not scared to death at that time, died not long after.
In fact, Cao Cao was overreacting at that time. He thought it was a group of old Han officials who were going to do something to embarrass him, so he reacted so fiercely, and grabbed Zhao Wen and shouted to kill him.
But later Cao Cao discovered that Mr. Zhao had no intention at all. He just simply thought that Cao Pi was good at writing and was not young anymore. It would be better to recruit him to serve as an official first, which would be considered as giving Cao Cao a favor. Unexpectedly, this flattery hit the horse's leg, which made everyone very embarrassed now.
A group of old Han officials realized that Cao Cao's status had completely surpassed that of the ministers and began to further oppose Cao Cao (there was the Kong Rong incident later). Cao Cao also regretted it very much. If he gave Zhao Wen a casual face and pretended to be calming down with the old Han officials, the atmosphere would not have been so tense before the Battle of Red Cliff, and the mess after the war would have been too late to clean up.
What made Cao Pi even more depressed was that he could have been openly promoted through Situ's enlistment, reconciling the relationship between the old Han officials and his father, and then gradually expanding his reputation in the clear stream, and gradually preparing for his future great cause.
But if you do this, who dares to recruit Cao Pi?
Situ was not worthy, so the prime minister naturally would not be able to enlist, so everyone watched coldly.
Now Cao Zhi has had the opportunity and has become the General of the Southern Central Army as a Royal Ruler. Although the previous victory over Guan Yu is still to be discussed, he has indeed made a name for himself and has received a lot of support from Qingliu.
Cao Pi couldn't sit still. He thought for a long time and found several of his friends to discuss it. Finally, Sima Yi proposed a shocking plan - Cao Pi took the initiative to go south and asked Yunshan to recruit him as an official!
When this plan was proposed, it was so scary that Cao Pi felt as if he was shocked and could not speak for a moment.
Situ Zhengpi made Cao Cao very angry, and now he finds a prefect...
Well, the prefect is only 17 years old this year, and he has always been unknown. He is just a martial artist who is following Le Jin. If Cao Cao had not been defeated and rushed to seek medical treatment, he would not have been able to take the position of prefect.
Cao Pi is no longer favored by Cao Cao, he is also Cao Cao's own son, or the one ranked high-ranking.
As long as Cao Cao agrees, all civil and military officials in the court are willing to recruit him. Why do you need a man of unknown origin to do it for him?
Sima Yi made a very accurate judgment on this.
"I have always been following the Prime Minister, so I naturally know the Prime Minister's idea. Now, the Prime Minister is very important to Yunshan, and he has a lot of complaints about Zijian's trip."
"Where does this start?" Everyone asked for advice.
Sima Yi sneered:
"How can the Prime Minister not know how Zijian met Guan Yu last time.
If Yunshan had not sacrificed his life to retreat to Guan Yu, the Prime Minister would have to experience the pain of losing his son. Someone saved the Prime Minister's son. How would you say the Prime Minister be compared to him?"
"this……"
Of course, Cao Pi clearly remembered the appearance of his elder brother when he died in battle.
What is completely different from Cao Pi is that Cao Cao attaches great importance to the relationship between Cao Ren and Cao Hong. He takes care of cousins like this, and he doesn't need to say much about his relatives, especially his favorite relatives.
When Cao Ang died in battle, Cao Cao cried many times and fainted. After that, he kept talking about what happened that day, and even had a huge crack with his original wife. When Cao Chong died, Cao Cao also cried loudly. On that day, Cao Pi cried with him, and Cao Cao took his anger on him, saying, "I'll just cry, you must be very happy now, just cry."
Although he knew that Cao Zhi was lying about military information, Cao Cao was not prepared to pursue the matter at all. Instead, he highly praised Yunshan, who saved Cao Zhi.
According to Sima Yi, even Zhao Yan was blowing around Cao Cao, saying that Yunshan is very loyal and brave, and compared with Guan Yu back then, he could try it out slowly and entrust half of Jingzhou to Yunshan.
Before, Zhao Yan was incompatible with Yunshan and was humiliated by Yunshan in person. However, Zhao Yan still adhered to his original intention and calmly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Yunshan. Cao Cao admired Zhao Yan very much and believed that he spoke well.
In addition, Yunshan does not have a background and is easy to use. After polishing this person, it is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Sima Yi immediately encouraged Cao Pi to force Yunshan to encircle him to control Yunshan's shogunate and share the contributions of Yunshan. In the future, Yunshan will have a mark of Cao Pi. The contributions Cao Zhi had obtained before with Yunshan are not worth mentioning.
"Yunshan will have to stay in Jingzhou for a long time. Even if you leave, you will definitely be promoted to another place. If the young master is kind to him early... it will be easy to do great things in the future."
"No!" Cao Xiu, who had a very good relationship with Cao Pi, firmly opposed this - under the dual monarchy of the Han Dynasty, accepting someone's conscript was equivalent to his subordinates, and his identity was difficult to say for many things.
Could it be that Cao Pi must pay homage to a martial artist?
Sima Yi said lazily:
"How is it possible? I have already planned this matter, and I will wait then.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a profession or not. Using a little means is enough to let Zihuan lead the army.
Yunshan is a man who is frivolous on the surface, but he has many planning skills. Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for three visits to the cottage. Zihuan is a man who has accomplished great things, so it doesn’t matter if he bows his head a little.”
"Then why not just find Lejin and let Zihuan lead the army?"
Sima Yi felt helpless and thought to himself that Cao Xiu had no doubt that he was just a cavalry captain for so many years. There was a reason why Cao Cao was worried about him.
He explained patiently:
"Wouldn't it be nice to let the Prime Minister know that Zihuan intends to get involved in military power?"
Cao Xiu rolled his eyes:
"What's wrong with sharing your father's worries?"
Sima Yi:...
"What's the impact? What's the impact?" Cao Xiu was anxious when he saw Sima Yi looking at him like a fool.
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Zhen, who looked helpless not far away, and then looked at Cao Pi who was also looking at him with curiosity, with a mixed feeling in his heart.
·
Cao Pi was so angry that he was always in a state of anger when he came to Jingzhou.
Cao Zhi was a polite person and came south with the orders of the court. His official position was actually a counselor. Cao Cao had also served this official position, which shows how much Cao Cao valued Cao Zhi. However, Cao Pi came to Jingzhou as a private person and had to humiliately ask Yunshan to recruit him as a literary agent. This made Cao Pi feel very bad, but he had to pretend to be happy. Therefore, he had performed like a complete madman in front of Yunshan before.
After all, Cao Pi was a ruthless man who painted Boyi and Shuqi in his father's tomb. He knew that he would take revenge and revenge in the future, but now he must be patient and must be patient, so that he can have a day to make a comeback.
He walked out to Guan Ping to pay tribute to Le Jin. Le Jin and Ma Liang then breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the two of them.
"See Mr. Zihuan." Le Jin bowed to Cao Pi humbly, expressing his loyalty to the Cao family, and making Yunshan feel a little bit restrained, and not being neither big nor small in front of Cao Pi.
But Guan Ping seemed to have no such awareness at all. He bowed to Le Jin and bowed carefully, and then said something that almost made Le Jin lose his soul.
"General, I am going to recruit Mr. Huan as a literary officer - can the prefect conquer the literary officer?"
The smile on Le Jin's face froze on the spot, and he didn't know how to answer Guan Ping's question for a moment.
"It's OK, but..."
Is this a question of whether the prefect can conquer?
After thinking for a while, he quickly squeezed out a smile:
"No, you cannot conquer Master Huan."
“Why?”
Do you know whether you really don't know or not...
Le Jin was speechless. He probably knew that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had started to fight openly and secretly, and they all began to cultivate their own strength on the front line of Jingzhou. However, Guan Ping dared to agree to the matter of recruiting Cao Pi as an official.
He was sweating profusely and suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Yes, the military situation is currently in urgent need of military information, and we are about to go on an expedition to Guan Yu.
I have heard that Mr. Huan is very skilled in martial arts for a long time. If he is a literary clerk... it would be a pity.
In this way, Mr. Zihuan will serve as our unit...Sima in another unit! If you have a hard time, your son will serve as Sima in another unit!"
Cao Pi showed a hint of ecstasy on his face. He grinned and couldn't help but laugh, and forced himself to calm down and said solemnly:
"Cao Pi obeys the order! He is willing to fight for the Han Dynasty to fight against rebels and kill unjust officials!"
Guan Ping looked at Cao Pi's serene look and felt aware of it.
He pretended to be crazy and asked himself to take the initiative to recruit him as a clerk. This matter must be very inappropriate. Even if he agreed, Le Jin would not allow it.
Yunshan is Le Jin's right-hand man, and Le Jin will definitely find a way to stop him. The best way is to arrange another leader for Cao Pi.
But other officials who accept their orders either have to go to the court or belong to Lejin's subordinates in their status, which is no different from Guan Ping's subordinates.
There is only one Sima of another department that can adapt - this official position is an additional Han army, and there is no strict organization and subordinate relationship. It is most suitable for novices like Cao Pi to grab credit.
Le Jin was not Cao Pi's school before, so he was too lazy to think of this way for Cao Pi, but he was worried about Yunshan, so he had to give Cao Pi a suggestion.
Cao Pi got the power to lead the army as he wished. You Lejin endorsed it. Cao Cao couldn't find any problem. He didn't know how long it would take to rescue Cao Ren. Isn't this how long it would take to stay as long as he wanted?
Later, Cao Ren was rescued and had to bear the affection of this nephew and support and take good care of his nephew in the future.
This set of retreating seems humiliating, but the results are so amazing, which makes Guan Ping feel a little chilled.
No, I have to find out who is behind him.
