Chapter 5 Balanced Suppression of Deep Meaning
Cao Chong naturally did not understand Cao Cao's approach.
Because these three people are almost the highest representatives of the three parties in the army.
Cao Ren was originally a general in the southern expedition. Although he was defeated by Liu Bei during the southern expedition, he had been following Cao Cao for many years and had outstanding military achievements.
It is natural to ask Cao Ren to be the commander of the Northern Expedition. However, choosing Cao Ren will inevitably increase Cao Ren's prestige in the army, because those who can command one side basically need military town-level official positions, which means that Cao Ren will be promoted.
Once Cao Ren is promoted, his delicate balance in the military system will inevitably be broken.
This is something Cao Chong doesn't want to see, and I guess Cao Cao doesn't want to see it either.
Cao Zhang, who has a great prestige, is Cao Cao's son, and there are a lot of troops in his hand. If the Northern Expedition is gilded at this time, and after returning, with his identity, wouldn't he be the only one in the army?
As for Zhang Liao, he was originally a surrendered general. Although Cao Cao loved and admired him very much, he was an outsider after all.
Although Cao Cao was not nepotism in employing people, he was also afraid that someone would turn against him, especially Zhang Liao is now the one who stands.
Let an outsider lead the way in the military system, which is something Cao Cao doesn't want to see.
Moreover, no matter which person Cao Cao chose, it would make the other two people feel aggrieved, and it would be obviously unwise to do so.
The reason why Cao Chong threw Zhang Liao out before was not astonished as Zhang Liao as he was the leader. He just wanted to muddle the water a little.
It’s easy to catch fish in the muddy waters.
Cao Chong wanted to muddle the water in the pond. After muddle, he could not say that there would be a turning point to help him get some benefits.
Because Cao Chong had believed that Cao Cao would not choose to play as the head coach among these three people, but it was obvious that Cao Cao didn't think so. Boss Cao did not play according to common sense this time.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Chong's confused little face, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Over the years, Cao Cao has been surprised by Cao Chong all day long. With so many surprises, Cao Cao also realized that his son is indeed very extraordinary. Such an extraordinary son is still defeated in his own hands. How can Cao Cao not be content?
"Cang Shu, which one do you think you would choose for your father?"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Chong fell into a brief silence.
Which person would Cao Cao choose?
Cao Ren, it is possible.
Cao Zhang, it is also possible.
In fact, in the end, Zhang Liao had no chance of leading the army.
So Cao Chong pondered for a while and said to Cao Cao: "It's the third brother!"
Among Cao Ren and Cao Zhang, Cao Chong felt that it would be Cao Zhang.
First of all, Cao Zhang is young and needs experience and credit. After all, he is a military general, and the credits of military generals are made, not rewarded.
Although Cao Zhang's choice to become a general made Cao Cao feel a little worried, after he was worried, Cao Cao actually felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, this guy chose a military general. If he chose a civil servant, how would I treat him?
Among Cao Cao's sons, the cunning ones were Zihuan, the literary talent was Zijian, and the talent was Cang Shu.
In fact, Cao Cao was very satisfied with these three people, but there were also excellent choices.
If Cao Zhang was not a general, it was obvious that he would be the same as everyone else.
Moreover, in Cao Cao's mind, the troops in the world were left to one of his own family to take charge of it.
Zhang Liao is not his own family, so Cao Cao cannot hold the military power in his hands. The military is fierce and has the power to disrupt the world. Who knows whether this person's original intention will change?
Although Cao Ren is considered his own family, he is still more remarkable than Cao Zhang.
Moreover, Cao Cao intended to give Cao Zhang a chance to perform.
After Cao Chong said to the third brother, Cao Cao was not surprised. Since he had bound the candidate to such a small place, with Cao Chong's talent, he could naturally guess who he was.
Cao Zhang is indeed Cao Zhang.
It's time for Huang Xuer to stand up.
Cao Chong felt a little calm when he saw Cao Cao's response.
For Cao Chong, letting Cao Zhang go to the battle is naturally better than having Cao Ren go to the battle.
Cao Pi's people in the army are not bad. If Cao Ren has the opportunity to send troops, it would be a big wing.
Cao Zhi is different. Not only does Cao Zhi not only have many people in the army, but he is not even very powerful in the court.
What made Cao Zhang lead the commander make Cao Chong a little doubtful whether Cao Cao had the intention to support Cao Zhi.
Is this balance, is it the emperor's mind?
Cao Chong looked at Cao Cao's appearance and felt mixed emotions for a moment.
Of course, although Cao Chong felt mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't say anything on his mouth and looked calm on his face.
Seeing Cao Chong like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod in his heart.
Although my son is not very good at qi cultivation, he is not bad at scheming.
Clever is exclusive to politicians. If you want to make a difference in the court, cultivator is indispensable. If this cultivator comes to Cao Cao or Emperor Xian of Han, it is the emperor's mind.
Cao Cao saw Cao Chong's heart a little cunning. Although this cunning is still a little immature, he was still a little happy.
Among the three sons, Cao Cao's favorite is naturally Cao Chong.
Whether it is his nature or character, Cao Chong satisfies himself. The reason why he did not choose Cao Chong as his heir was naturally due to Cao Cao's consideration.
First of all, Cao Chong is still very immature, just like his cunning, and Cao Chong's subordinates basically have no wings. If he suddenly pulled him too high, he would pull him to help him grow, which would be a little bad.
If Cao Chong inherited his position in this way, then Cao Cao really dared not say anything if he could beat the people in the court.
Cao Chong needs exercise.
Moreover, Cao Cao also discovered many good qualities in Cao Pi.
He was hesitating.
Because these two options are difficult to choose.
Anyway, I still have a few days to live, so I should observe these three people first.
If Cao Chong was really not suitable for this position, or if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were really excellent, Cao Cao would not be stubborn in his own opinion.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Chong's current appearance, patted Cao Chong on the shoulder and said, "I chose Ziwen, of course because he is your brother, and the military power must be in the hands of his own people."
Cao Chong saluted on the side and said yes, but he kept complaining about Cao Cao in his heart.
Although Cao Zhang is my brother, he is on Cao Zhi's side. He has military power and has nothing to do with me, but he has added an additional opponent.
Cao Chong followed Cao Cao slowly, but his mind was thinking about how the situation would change after Cao Cao made this decision.
And how should I face the situation after the change?
