Chapter 149 Want to be a general!
Cao Cao's eyes swept across the face of the general in the hall, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
There are many people in the hall who can be generals, but not many people who can be commanders.
For example, if Cao Hong and Xiahou were the two reckless men, they might have caused some trouble.
So Cao Cao thought for a moment and set the rating of the four people who could be the leader this time.
The first person to be considered by Cao Cao was nothing but Cao Ren.
Cao Ren is a younger brother of the Cao Cao clan, and his ability is not bad, so he is the first object of consideration for Cao Cao.
The second one is Xiahou Yuan.
Although Xiahou Yuan was not as famous as Cao Ren, his reliability in his work made Cao Cao feel more at ease than Cao Ren, so Xiahou Yuan was also considered by Cao Cao.
The third one is Zhang Liao.
Considering Zhang Liao, Cao Cao had two reasons. One is that Zhang Liao's ability is absolutely OK to be a general, which is a prerequisite.
After this premise is established, there are other reasons.
Zhang Liao and Cao Chong had a close relationship, and Cao Chong had a good relationship with those of the Jiangdong family.
With the help of the Jiangdong family, it is naturally easier to deal with the Jingzhou clan.
As for why Cao Cao knew that Cao Cao had a close relationship with the Jiangdong family, it was naturally the concubines Jiangdong sent to Cao Chong.
Cao Chong knew that this matter could not be hidden from Cao Cao, so he had no intention of hiding it.
Therefore, with the intelligence capabilities of Cao Cao's School Office, it is easy to know about this.
These are the three candidates Cao Cao considered for the commander, and the fourth one was Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao is now a civil service, but before he was a military service.
His ability and loyalty were recognized by Cao Cao, so Zhong Yao was also included in several choices by Cao Cao as the leader.
Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon.
In Cao Cao's mind, the reason why he wanted to appoint Zhong Yao as the commander was naturally to rely on the power of the Yingchuan family.
Yingchuan Zhong family, Xun family, and Chen family.
These three families are now top families, and countless other families are all dependent on them.
As Zhong Yao is the commander, those aristocratic families will naturally support Zhong Yao.
If Zhong Yao was the general, he could not solve the problem of Emperor Xian of Han, then these three aristocratic families had their own plans in mind.
If the army is not good, then Cao Cao has the excuse to eradicate and weaken these aristocratic families.
A plan to kill two birds with one stone.
To be honest, Cao Cao still wants to appoint this candidate.
But Cao Cao thought about it for a while and then remained silent first.
Let's see how they think.
Cao Cao made up his plan in his mind and said it.
"Everyone, since your plan has been settled, then do you think, who can be the commander and the lonely and slander?" After Cao Cao said this, his eyes were always staring at the one among His Highness.
As soon as Cao Cao said this, the atmosphere in Dacheng Palace became warm.
In the Dacheng Hall, some smell of gunpowder even emerged.
There is only one handsome guy, but there are many generals, and it would be strange if there is no smell of gunpowder.
In the center of Dacheng Hall, a huge incense burner was rising with blue smoke.
The smoke was floating, but it could not smooth out the mood of the people in the palace.
It was not yet summer, but the temperature in the hall was higher than that in the midsummer.
After Cao Cao said something for a while, the generals in the hall looked at each other, and finally Xiahou, who had a hoist, stood up like a sword.
He bowed heavily to Cao Cao, and his majestic and rough words were also spoken.
"King, Xiahou thought he could solve the problem for the king, kill all the miscellaneous parts, and ask the king to agree."
After saying this, Xiahou knelt down heavily, his head lowered very low.
For a moment, the hall was a little quiet.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou and didn't know what to say for a moment.
And those generals also opened their mouths wide, and naturally felt unwilling in their eyes.
Could it be that this position is to be taken to the reckless man Xiahou?
They wanted to come out to compete for this position, but they were afraid that they would have a gap with Xiahou because of this matter, so they couldn't help but hesitate.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yuan Rang, you have the courage of thousands of men and you have a huge reputation in the army. As a general, you can do it."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou showed a happy expression on his face, but the emotions in the hearts of the generals with hope in their eyes suddenly became a little gloomy.
It's a thief. If I had known I would have taken it, maybe the position of this great man is mine.
This is the handsome man!
It's equivalent to the credit given to you, and it's gone!
Most of these generals showed regret in their hearts.
Most generals don’t have so many twists and turns in their hearts. They see the scene in front of them and feel whatever they see.
But those advisers didn't think so.
The courage of ten thousand men is not to be regarded as a commander. The commander does not need the courage of ten thousand men. What the commander needs is wisdom and calmness. Boss Cao did not praise Xiahou in this regard, but only praised Xiahou for his characteristics of being brave.
This is not what Boss Cao agrees with Xiahou Weishuai.
So later Cao Cao said, "It is natural to be a general," which is mostly perfunctory.
Jia Xu and Xun You looked at Cao Cao sideways, and immediately saw Boss Cao blinking at him twice.
Jia Xu and Xun You naturally knew what this look meant.
The king wants someone to come out to rescue him.
How can the king be a bad person and be a slander?
In this way, the white face will naturally be sung by others.
Jia Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, but without hesitation, he quickly stepped out.
Among these people, besides Cao Ren, only he is the most suitable to be a bad person.
"You are the king. Although General Xiahou is extremely brave, he needs to adapt to the situation. He can only be brave and can be the commander. I hope the king will think twice."
Cao Cao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, so when Jia Xu finished pronunciation, Boss Cao also said the words.
"The doctor's words are reasonable."
Xiahou was originally full of hope, but after Jia Xu disturbed this, everything was gone.
How could Xiahou not be angry?
He stared at Jia Xu with his eyes tightly, but due to Jia Xu's reputation and official position, he had to swallow his breath back.
Jia Xu's poisonous soldiers were not just a waste of time. In the army, there were not many people who dared to provoke Jia Xu, so even though Xiahou was very dissatisfied, he had to swallow his anger for the time being.
When Cao Cao saw Xiahou coming out to disrupt the situation, he was afraid that someone would jump out of his way, so he gave them an exam scope directly.
"Zi Xiao, Wen Yuan, Miao Cai, Yuan Chang, who would you be the leader?"
After Cao Cao said this, many people looked disappointed in their eyes, but some people's eyes were shining brightly.
