Wu Zhi's words made Cao Pi feel some hope.

"What are the strategies Ji Chongkuai said?"

Wu Zhi didn't ask Cao Pi to wait for long, and his words were quickly spoken.

"First of all, don't let the little Junhou fall into the hands of the aristocratic family."

If Cao Rui was in the hands of the aristocratic family, Cao Pi might have fallen into a more passive situation.

By then, Cao Pi might have to be led by the aristocratic family and take this path.

Cao Pi thought for a while and asked, "What else?"

"The other one is to find Xiao Junhou and ask him why he was doing this."

Cao Rui is not a stupid person. There must be a reason why he did this. If he found this reason, things might be much easier.

"In other words, the first thing is to hold the rebellious son in his hand."

Wu Zhi nodded.

"If you want to deal with the aristocratic family, we must first know what the aristocratic family wants to get through this matter. Wu Zhi dares to ask Junhou, what is the aristocratic family most now?"

The aristocratic family is now basically dominant in politics, and what he lacks now is military power.

A noble family has no military power, which is a flaw. Of course, Cao Pi also knew that a noble family has no military power, but it just doesn’t have military power on the surface. Many children from a noble family are in politics, and more are in the army.

There must be military power in aristocratic families, but there are not many, and their location is not important.

For example, in the important land of the royal palace, the aristocratic families have not yet reached their hands.

In this case, what the aristocratic family wants is very obvious, that is, military power, especially the military power of the Central Imperial Guard.

For example, the position of the Five Northern Army and the Central Leadership is probably something the aristocratic family really wants to get.

However, whether it is the Five Northern Army School or the Leader of the Central Army, these positions are in the hands of the Cao family of Xiahou. The aristocratic family does not have the ability to intervene. If they want to intervene, they will definitely have to create something.

It's like the storm in front of you.

In this way, the aristocratic family intends to lead the army.

"The aristocratic family needs military power, the military power of the palace city."

Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Since we know the needs of the aristocratic family, our purpose will naturally be clearer and easier when we stop the aristocratic family."

“How easy?”

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "The aristocratic family dragged Xiaojunhou into the water. It is definitely not because they wanted Xiaojunhou's life. He wanted to let Junhou take a step back, so that the aristocratic family could control the five Northern Army schools and the Central Leader. How could the Junhou be threatened by the aristocratic family break the dead? The only way to break the dead is to watch Xiaojunhou die. Even so, as the guard of the palace city, Xiahou Shang's position as the central leader may be insured."

Cao Pi certainly understood these principles.

But Wu Zhi re-examining the context of things like a repeater is definitely a purpose.

Wu Zhi naturally did not let Cao Pi wait for a long time.

"The aristocratic family uses the lifeline of the little Junhou to threaten the Junhou. Why can't Junhou treat the person with his own way?"

"What does Ji Chong mean?" Hearing this, Cao Pi's eyes began to shiny.

The aristocratic family treated him like this, which really made him extremely cowardly.

If it were an ordinary force, it would have been sanctioned by Cao Pi long ago. Unfortunately, the aristocratic family is not an ordinary force. Specifically, even the Cao family is not as good as this force.

Of course, there is only one reason why aristocratic families have to deal with the Cao family so carefully.

That is, although the aristocratic family has great energy, it is not a whole after all, and the Cao family is a whole.

It is not easy for a family that is not a whole to integrate its strength and concentrate it in one place. Many times, the family united is not defeated by the enemy, but by oneself.

The aristocratic families follow each other, so naturally they don’t want such a thing to happen.

This is the situation that the aristocratic family least wants to see, but it is the situation that Wu Zhi and Cao Pi want to see the most.

"The current aristocratic family consists of three parts."

"The most important part is the Xuzhou forces represented by Wang Lang."

Although the Xuzhou family was slaughtered by Cao Cao, it was only targeting Xuzhou City. Of course, Cao Cao did not dare to raise the butcher knife for other surrendered families.

The King of Donghai is now the representative of the Xuzhou family and the world's aristocratic families.

"The other two are the Yingchuan family, and the other are the Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places."

Among Cao Wei, the Yingchuan gentry was the most powerful among the aristocratic families.

There is a long way to say that the Yingchuan gentry can become the second only to the Cao family and Xiahou family in the Wei State.

By the way, it also explained why during the period when Cao Cao commanded the army, the military power was in the hands of the Cao family.

The Cao Wei army has had distinct clan characteristics since its inception, which is completely different from the large clan private soldiers of the Eastern Wu.

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan in the Cao Cao era. Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Hong, the first general of the Wei cavalry, etc.

On the one hand, the Cao family is indeed full of talents, and on the other hand, it shows that the Cao family trusts its own family and has full military power in the hands of the Cao family - until Cao Shuang is a dissatisfied person.

Few foreign generals had heavy troops. In the early days, Le Jin, who followed Cao Cao, and Yu Jin and others did not have a wide range of troops.

Yu Jin was the most trusted general of Cao Cao, and he was the seven armies at most.

Xiahou Dun was the one who supervised the Twenty-Sixth Army.

The early ownership of Cao's military power can be seen from two events:

One was the Battle of Puyang. Lu Bu took advantage of Cao Cao's main force to attack Xuzhou and confiscated Cao Cao's old nest in Yanzhou. Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu tried to protect the three cities, and at this time the military power in the rear was firmly in Xiahou Dun's hands.

The second is the Battle of Guandu. Yuan and Cao officially broke his face, and Cao Cao faced the most powerful enemy in his life.

Yuan Shao not only made a big push in the front battlefield of Guandu, but also made moves on other battlefields: he sent senior officials to attack the western front from Bingzhou, Yuan Tan was responsible for the Qingzhou battlefield on the eastern front, and later sent Liu Bei south to his hometown Runan to harass Cao Cao's rear.

Cao Cao's response was that Zhong Yao was stationed in Guanxi, Zang Ba was guarding Qingzhou, Li Tong drove away Liu Bei. Cao Ren stayed in Xudu, and led his own command of Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and other generals to confront Yuan's army.

Therefore, there is no such thing as Yuan’s army in the Cao army in the battle for military power (Yu Jin seized Zhu Ling’s army as an example).

The two sects, the foreign surname and the clan sect, actually do not exist. With Cao Cao's skills, it is impossible for factions to appear in the army. Their power is very clear, ensuring that the Cao army's orders are strict.

If a soldier is able to expose power, if you have power, you can accumulate wealth, and if you have money, you can support your soldiers.

Perhaps because the people are more martial, the hometown of Qiao County was unable to contribute talents in political and strategic areas to Cao Cao, so Lao Cao could only turn his attention to other places.

At this time, the Yingchuan gentry was about to appear.

During the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, this was a golden sign.

Yingchuan has sent a large number of outstanding talents to all parts of the country. It can be said that "those who win Yingchuan win the world."

Like other big clans, Yingchuan big clans, such as the Xun family, Chen family, Zhong family, Xin family, and Guo family, also place bets on a long position in the troubled times.

For example, Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen is the leader of Yuan Shao.

Because of the situation of the village party, most Yingchuan advisers submitted their first job search resume to Yuan Shao Group Company.

Some stayed, such as Xun Chen and Guo Tu Xinping, and some jumped to Cao Cao Group, such as Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

Around Cao Cao, the Yingchuan Strategy Group represented by Xun Yu, Xun You, the talented people, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, etc. were formed.

The Yingchuan faction made great contributions to the Cao Cao Group in both strategy and tactics (I won’t go into details about the embracing Emperor Xu Du, striving to protect the three cities, etc.).

Cao Cao's trust in Yingchuan was so deep that he made his family dominant, forming a pattern of "Wuqiao County and Wenyingchuan".

Xun Yu was appointed as the Minister of State and took charge of the government affairs. Chen Qun was appointed as the Sikong Xi Cao official and was in charge of talent selection. The military advisor of Guo Jia was responsible for strategic and tactical planning.

The Yingchuan gentry can be said to be the most powerful aristocratic group in the court.

And there is a good news that most of the Yingchuan gentry did not participate in the rebellion.

However, although most of the Yingchuan gentry did not participate in this family turmoil, these people did not participate in either side.

Even the Zhong family, represented by Zhong Yao, prefers aristocratic families.

The Yingchuan gentry became the largest family group among the Wei family, naturally because of his contributions and because they followed Cao Cao early enough.

The reason why the Xuzhou gentry was able to take the position of the Three Dukes was first related to Cao Cao's trust. In addition, the Xuzhou family is indeed strong.

They have had a long time with Cao Cao.

The third aristocratic family group is those aristocratic families except Jizhou and Xuzhou.

The Yangzhou aristocratic families such as the Lu family and Gu family were unable to enter the power center of Cao Wei at this time, and the impact was very little.

Among the opposition forces, the Xuzhou family is the trader, and the biggest main force is actually these family members.

The reason why the Zhen family was disliked by Wang Lang and others was not because they looked down on Zhen Yao.

On the contrary, they may appreciate what Zhen Yao did. After all, the most shameless thing is naturally the best for aristocratic families. In terms of shamelessness, it is obvious that Zhen Yao has met the requirements.

Even so, Wang Lang still makes things so difficult for Zhen Yao, because the Zhen family is a family of Jizhou, not a family of Xuzhou or other states.

Among the Jizhou family, Yingchuan is the representative.

It is not difficult to understand that the Zhen family was rejected by Wang Lang and others.

"Among the three forces, the Yingchuan gentry is above all else and does not seem to want to go into the water so quickly. Why can't the Yingchuan gentry be loyal to the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the

As the largest force in the aristocratic family, the Yingchuan gentry would of course consider it.
