In the school office, Cao Chong looked at each bamboo slip and the bamboo slip carefully, his expression changed from relaxed to solemn, and finally he threw the bamboo slip to the ground angrily.

Bang~

If the number of private soldiers in the aristocratic families has only a few hundred at most, then there will be more people in the Xiahou family and the Cao family.

Xiahou Yuan had five Wubao outside Xudu, with 3,000 private soldiers, not including the family servants and maids.

Cao Hong has four black castles outside Xudu City, with one thousand private soldiers.

Seven Cao Renwu Castle, four thousand private soldiers...

……………………

Some people say that the population of the Three Kingdoms is more than that, because a large part of the population has been blackened by people similar to Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Cao naturally knew about these situations, but why not worry about them?

First, these were the pre-war generals, their most loyal supporters, and they made great contributions.

Second, they have been living and dying for many years. Like Cao Hong, they have saved Cao Cao's life several times. Did they save you so many times and not even give you some wealth?

When power comes from the barrel of a gun, their status is absolutely high before the world is unified.

So, do I want to take action with them?

It is almost dusk now, and Cao Chong picked the left and right in his hand, leaving only a dozen bamboo slips.

These bamboo slips are either like Xiahou Yuan who have too many private soldiers or have lower status.

If any of these bamboo slips are released, Cao Chong knew what kind of impact he would be. None of the people from the Cao Xiahou family would like him.

Even disgust!

"Cang Shu can choose?"

Zhou Buyi had very few bamboo slips in his hand, about ten. Cao Chong looked through it for a moment and found that Zhou Buyi was very neatly selected.

Xun family, Jia family, Chen family, Wei family, Cui family...

wrong!

There is no Sima family here!

"Wenzhi, why are there no bamboo slips from the Sima family inside!"

Cao Chong had absolutely bad feelings towards the Sima family, and Zhou Buyi did not have the bamboo slips of the Sima family, which made Cao Chong a little depressed.

"These aristocratic families have chosen one. The status is not so important, but the ambition is quite large. The Sima family is actually out of the matter, without a single bamboo slip!"

Not a bamboo slip?

Cao Chong was shocked and realized that history was not accidental. The Sima family was able to usurp the throne successfully in the end, probably because of their caution!

The bamboo slips chosen by Zhou Buyi can play a role in killing the chicken and making aware of the monkeys. They will hit the aristocratic family, but they will not hurt too much. It can be said that Zhou Buyi was worried about Cao Chong.

But this was not what Cao Cao wanted! So it was not what Cao Chong wanted.

"Wenzhi, these people have low positions and low positions, and are afraid they will not be able to kill them!"

Cut it seven inches?

Zhou Buyi looked a little dazed, and quickly knelt on the ground and said bitterly:

"Young Master, please think twice. Although the aristocratic family has great power, it is the humeral of the court. If it is injured so deeply, I am afraid it will be inappropriate to you!"

"Don't disturb the truth in writing! Chong knew that the wood was beautiful in the forest, and the wind would destroy it!" Cao Chong stepped forward and helped Zhou Buyi up, sighing with a dim expression.

The aristocratic family was deeply rooted, and there was no place that Cao Chong could resist. Later, Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor, but he did not use the ninth-rank official law to win over the loyalty of the aristocratic family.

An emperor even wants to rely on a noble family, let alone Cao Chong?

"But since Nai Father handed over this important task to me, and after doing so perfunctorily, I feel ashamed of Nai Father!"

"No doubt, I understand!"

Zhou Buyi bowed and bowed, put the bamboo slips in his hand aside, walked in and took a few more bamboo slips.

Then he trotted over and handed it to Cao Chong.

Xun Yun, one Wubao, five hundred private soldiers...

Yang Xiu, a manor, twelve unregistered female maids, thirty males...

…………

If these bamboo slips are insignificant, then the biggest one is the last bamboo slip handed to Cao Chong by Zhou Buyi.

Chen Lin, six places in the manor, hundreds of unregistered female maids, three hundred male maids...

Chen Lin…

Cao Chong picked up the bamboo slips and looked at Zhou Buyi but laughed.

Chen Lin, whose courtesy name is Kong Zhang, was from Sheyang, Guangling. He was a famous writer at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the seven sons of Jian'an. His most famous article was naturally "Expression to Yuan Shao for Yuzhou", which cursed all three generations of Cao Cao, and his literary essays were sharp, which was said to have scared Cao Cao's head!

But, so what? What about the Qi Zi of Jian'an? As long as he is really guilty, he can be punished.

Of course, one of the biggest reasons is that he stood on Cao Pi's side, which had an innate hostile conflict with Cao Chong.

"Wenzhi, it's getting late, let's go back to the house!" Cao Chong packed the bamboo slips, put them in a silk bag, carried them on his body and left the school office. He rode a horse's carriage, and the two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But behind them, on the arrow tower of the tall Xu Du Yasi, Man Chong, wearing an official robe, looked at Cao Chong for no reason.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Chong put down the bamboo slips, and after a big meal, he fell asleep directly. He slept until the sky was slightly brighter before stretching his body.

After some washing, Cao Chong was about to do morning exercises, but Cao Zhi, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, appeared in front of Cao Chong.

"Cang Shu, hurry up, follow the fourth brother to attend the banquet!"

"banquet?"

"Yes, my father always said that he wanted me to invite you out. There was a banquet today, which was held on the banks of the Qingwei River. I want to take you there for my brother!"

Looking at Cao Zhi's flawless face, Cao Chong thought for a moment, nodded slowly, but asked again: "What a handsome man are all the people who come to the banquet?"

Cao Zhi patted Cao Chong's tender back and said arrogantly: "No one who comes and goes is Bai Ding, and those who come and go are all literary masters of the world, Chen Lin, Yang Biao, and Sima Fang are all among them."

Chen Lin, Yang Biao, Sima Fang?

Cao Chong smiled strangely, but he could go to such a banquet for a while.

Cao Chong summoned Zhou Bumi, so he and Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu left Xudu East Gate.

Because Zhou Dufu was by Xu Zhu's side, he had no time to take care of Cao Chong, so Cao Chong only brought Gao Yi.

Yang Xiu was wearing a gorgeous blue and white porcelain-like dress, dressed well and graceful. At this moment, she looked energetic on a white horse.

"Seventh Young Master, you are so kind!" He immediately bowed to Cao Chong.

"You are polite to the chief clerk!" Cao Chong was even more humble, his head lowered very low.

When interacting with a proud person, you have to make him feel superior, otherwise he will be malicious to you, and Yang Xiu is the most pretentious person among them.

Sure enough, after seeing Cao Chong's salute, Yang Xiu's senses towards Cao Chong were much better, and his tone couldn't help but soften.

"Seventh Master, let's go quickly. Xiu has heard too many words in his ears, and he can only speak well with his ears. He hears calluses. Let Xiu see the style of the seventh Master!"

"Where are there..." Cao Chong refused modestly, but smiled sincerely.

"Why did the Fourth Brother exaggerate Chong's literary talent!"

Cao Zhi was riding a horse with concentration, but he didn't have the leisure to chat with Cao Chong.

After a while, the sound of the waves of Qingfeng River came to my ears. The clear and vast Qingfeng River was clear and cloudy at this time, and the tides were churning during the flood season, which was quite imposing.

Next to Qingbai River, a small manor stands. Unlike the Lotus Pool Banquet, the banquet is even larger. Not only are the poor scholars, Xu Du, but also the great scholars of the time, Chen Lin and Yang Biao, etc., but they are all literary masters who are comparable to Kong Rong.

Even Cao Cao was a little concerned about this banquet, which shows how large he was.
