Cai Mao took the silk book from Cao Cao with trembling hands and kowtowed three times to Cao Cao!

Hanyang Tinghou!

This is a marquis!

The position of marquis is hereditary system, and for a family, it is an absolute foundation. This foundation is more practical than the foundation.

If you get a marquis in white, it is useless, just like Guan Yu's Hanshouting Marquis. For Guan Yu, the most benefit the Hanshouting Marquis gave Guan Yu was reputation rather than interests. For the Cai family, this was an absolute benefit, a big benefit!

"Cai Mao, thank you lord!"

Cao Cao hurried forward and helped Cai Mao up. He was very satisfied with Cai Mao's performance. For those who are superior, they always come with big sticks. How could he not give him any benefits if he wanted Cai Mao to do his best? Moreover, the position of marquis was just a matter of his own words, so why not give it?

Marquis, marquis, is mostly just a reputation now, and may be useful to aristocratic families, but it has no personal benefit to white-born. Since Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, opened the West Garden and sold official positions with clear prices, there have been too many people in the world who have titles. Scarcity is precious, and too many titles are worthless.

In the near future, Cao Cao will also issue laws to abolish hereditary titles that are not obtained from military merits, making the titles more valuable.

Of course, the current title is just the price of a silk book for Cao Cao!

A silk book won people's hearts and got nearly 100,000 troops. Why not do it?

Cao Cao glanced at the representatives of the Jingxiang gentry who were present and found that there was a strange light in their eyes. The light was desire and desire!

Desire, desire is the right thing!

Cao Cao was smiling and thought tonight's move would be considered as the result of the Jingxiang gentry!

"Governor!"

"I'm here!" Cai Mao immediately became active.

Seeing Cai Mao like this, Cao Cao was not polite and directly ordered.

"Governor, you will lead 10,000 naval troops, and cooperate with the general of the bandits and the general of Hengye to enter Jiangxia south and look at Jiangdong!"

"No!" Cai Mao immediately accepted the order!

While the iron was hot, Cao Cao appointed Li Dian as the pioneer to capture Jiangling. After all the matter was finished, Cao Cao then started drinking with great pleasure. On the surface, Cao Cao was carried back to the state palace, but in fact, after Cao Cao returned to the state palace, Cao Cao and Jia Xu and other advisers held a brief meeting at the state palace palace.

This meeting is extremely secretive. Apart from the participants, even Cao Ren doesn't know what happened.

The next day!

It was dawn, the sun had not yet risen, the curfew had not stopped, and the west gate and the east gate of Xiangyang were already wide open!

A series of neatly arranged black armored troops drove towards their war zone. The war broke out in Jingzhou again!

But in the distant Xudu, there is an undercurrent surging in the peaceful and peaceful days!

Cao Chong listened to Bao Chu's report silently, put his hand on his chin and nodded from time to time to indicate.

When Cao Cao was separated from Xudu, the happiest thing was naturally Emperor Xian of Han. Although Fu Wan and Empress Fu failed, the plan had little impact on Emperor Xian of Han. He had experienced too many failures, and he did not have much expectations for Empress Fu's plan at the beginning.

As the saying goes, there is no disappointment, and taking advantage of the great opportunity when Xu Du is empty, Emperor Xian of Han made some moves!

Of course, these actions have nothing to do with Cao Chong. Xu Du is under the rule of the country and is now under the control of one person: Xun Yu!

Xun Yu guarded his family for Cao Cao, so naturally he would not tolerate Emperor Xian of Han destroying the unification of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of Han was worried about Xun Yu, and Cao Chong had other things to do.

Just like this abalone comes out!

And Cao Chong did not forget the role of Bao Chu!

You Xia'er, even Xu Du's dark forces, handed over all the things the nobles wanted to do but dared not do.

Of course, what Cao Chong liked was not Ran Xia'er's dark forces, but what he valued was Ran Xia'er's propaganda ability!

Not long ago, You Xia'er had already promoted Cao Cao's reputation. Chapters such as "The Red Cliff Fu" and "The Beauty Fu" almost became nursery rhymes in Xudu, and were read by others, and their influence spread to the world and nine provinces!

Everyone in the world knows that Cao Chong is a talented man, and his poetry and literary talent are better than Pingyuan Hou!

Since the talent name has already been established, Cao Chong still lacks a benevolent name, that is, a virtue name!

In this era, there are only two criteria for evaluating a person, the first is morality, and the second is talent!

Sima Guang analyzed Zhibo's death without virtue in "Zizhi Tongjian" and wrote: "A saint is called a saint, a sage is lost with both talent and virtue is called a fool, a virtue is superior to talent is called a gentleman, and a talent is superior to virtue is called a villain."

In this era, it is also useful!

Since you started later than them, your reputation must be better than them!

The best example is the case, which is easy to deal with. The original owner of Cao Chong’s body has done a lot of things before. One of the most famous ones is Cao Chong’s name and Cao Chong’s rescue of the treasury!

Of course, even if there isn't, Cao Chong can make a heroic example. Since there is, it will save Cao Chong's operation!

"Bao Chu, do you understand what I ordered?"

Bao Chu knelt in front of Cao Chong with a tall body, without any attitude of the underground king.

"I know!"

Bao Chu wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly walked out of the inner courtyard. He sighed in his heart. Now he was becoming more and more afraid of seeing Cao Chong. This master basically changed every day, and he was becoming more and more like a person!

Cao Cao!

Bao Chu didn’t know whether it was good or bad, so he could only sigh!

"Oh~"

Cao Chong in the inner courtyard held the bamboo slip in his hand and said nothing. After Bao left the door of the inner courtyard, a woman walked out of the inner room!

The woman had a white eyebrows, wearing a blue fairy skirt, holding a plate in her hand, and a red paint bowl was quietly placed on the plate, which contained a white bird's nest.

It’s Xin Xianying!

"Thank you, Madam!"

Cao Chong smiled and took the paint bowl and quickly took a bite.

"Madam's craftsmanship is much better!" Cao Chong took a bite and quickly praised Xin Xianying.

Xin Xianying smiled and said, "Husband is joking again!"

Cao Chong put the paint bowl aside, but hugged Xin Xianying and placed him on his lap. Xin Xianying sat up with the flow, but his beautiful eyes stared at Cao Chong.

"Husband, when will I go back to Xudu?"

It has been three days since Cao Chong took Xin Xianying to Wubao Manor. Regarding Xin Xianying's question, Cao Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Why, do you miss your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Xin Xianying shook her head, but her hands tightly hugged Cao Chong.

"I don't want my father and mother, but I just think that my husband still has a literary official body. If he doesn't report his duties, wouldn't it be bad?"

Cao Chong nodded, pecked Xin Xianying's handsome face and said, "Don't worry, madam, I'll go back in a few days!"

Cao Chong looked at Xin Xianying with some affection, rubbing Xin Xianying's onion hands with his hands, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Chapter completed!
