The next day.

The morning court arrived as scheduled in the main hall of the Wei Palace.

Cao Chong was wearing a crown prince robe and sat upright on the throne.

At this time, he was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, with no expression on his face.

"This is a joint petition for help from a family in the Western Regions. I took a look and found that representatives of the family who were exiled to the Western Regions have basically signed the names on it. What do you think about this matter?"

As soon as Cao Chong's words fell, Xu Shu stood up.

"Although the aristocratic family is planning to rebel, it is my bloodline after all. My opinion is that it is better to go up with reinforcements."

Cao Chong nodded softly and asked again: "What about other people's opinions?"

Xu Shu is Cao Chong's man, and what Xu Shu said represents Cao Chong's thoughts to a certain extent.

There was a silence in the hall for a while, and finally Cao Ren stood out.

"Your Highness, although the aristocratic family is of my Xia ancestry, they were exiled. If your highness sends troops to help, it may be inappropriate. Besides, the news I received before was that the aristocratic family was steady in the Western Regions, and the countries in the Western Regions were in great suffering. The aristocratic family might have become a trouble for the Wei State. Now, in a short time, they have sent a request for help. I think there must be something strange about this matter."

Cao Ren’s idea is also Cao Chong’s idea.

Previously, Cao Chong wanted to send troops to the Western Regions, because the aristocratic family had gained a foothold in the Western Regions, but one day later, there was another big change in the situation in the Western Regions.

As for Cao Chong, there are two situations in this matter.

The first is that the countries in the Western Regions are not fools, and they know the appearance of the aristocratic families. Therefore, the coalition forces attacked the aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families could not resist them, so they immediately asked for help.

The second type is that the aristocratic families are steadily in the Western Regions, playing with the countries in the Western Regions with applause, and there is no so-called threat. This time, the request for help is to calm one's heart and reassure the court of the aristocratic families. Even watching the aristocratic families "destroy" and not enter the Western Regions. In this way, the aristocratic families have a chance to breathe in the Western Regions. After gaining a foothold, it is probably difficult for the Wei State to enter the Western Regions.

Cao Chong believes that these two situations are the second.

The cunning family was Cao Chong's first impression.

"What the General said is very true, but there is still someone who has something to say?"

Cao Ren retreated to his position. Zhong Yao thought for a while, but immediately stood up.

"What the general said is reasonable, and what the prince’s tutor said is also reasonable. But according to my opinion, Your Highness can send someone to the Western Regions to understand the real situation first, and then make a decision."

This Zhong Yao is really a mess.

The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from Yecheng. Even if it is eight hundred miles faster, it will take several days. This time, it will be nonsense in the court. If the aristocratic family is really in the second situation, even the daylily will be cold.

"But anyone else has something to say?" […@ABC Novel Network      &~The fastest update]

Zhong Yao held the jade tablet and returned to his original position.

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, the court was quiet for a long time, but Cao Chong was not an incompetent person, so he just kept silent.

Such morning courts are rare.

After a while, someone finally stood up and spoke.

"Your Highness, as far as you are concerned, your Highness should send troops to the Western Regions."

"oh?"

Cao Chong looked at it and found that this person was Wei Ji.

"What is the opinion of the Shaoqing of Honglu?"

Wei Ji was originally a humble official position. Although the Wei family was the best in the world and rich, it was useless. However, this guy was a little wise and had a sense of people. Cao Chong was often the one who came to help, so he got the official position of the Shaoqing of Honglu.

The Shaoqing of the Honglu is no longer a minor official, but an adjutant of the Great Honglu, one of the nine ministers, and is also considered to be a high-ranking and powerful position.

"I can't say that my opinion is. I think, if you don't look at the current situation in the Western Regions and what the aristocratic family thinks, your highness should look at something. What will reduce your losses to the minimum."

Minimize your losses?

Cao Chong was stunned for a moment and said, "Your words are quite interesting."

After hearing Wei Ji's words, Cao Chong suddenly became enlightened.

Cao Chong actually cannot look at this request for help from the aristocratic family, but should regard it as a whole.

No matter whether the aristocratic family is really robbed or fake, if the aristocratic family is really encircled and suppressed by the countries of the Western Regions, even if they send troops to save the aristocratic family, the Western Regions will still be in their own hands. The difference is that the aristocratic family cannot be destroyed.

But as long as the aristocratic families stay in the Western Regions for more time, five years is less than ten years, when they return to their hometown, they will find that everything has changed. Even if they still have some influence in the local area, they may not be able to match the local government.

If the aristocratic family was not encircled and suppressed by the Western Regions, the court should have sent troops.

Thinking of this, Cao Chong also said it.

"What the Shaoqing of Honglu is right. I think that no matter what the aristocratic family has, I will send 50,000 people to see what kind of storms the aristocratic family can make."

Cao Ren opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything.

"Do you have any better ideas?"

Cao Chong asked for a long time and found that no one spoke. Just when Cao Chong was about to announce his retreat, Cao Ren finally stood up again.

"I wonder who will lead the troops of these 50,000 people?"

Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The general is familiar with the military, so I believe there are good candidates to recommend to me."

Uh ~

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Cao Chong to say such words. In his original opinion, Cao Chong should have said one person.

There will be no one else except Zhang Liao.

Naturally, he didn't want Zhang Liao to go there. It was not that he couldn't stand Zhang Liao, but that there were other candidates.

But now he is not very easy to talk about.

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Ren took a deep breath, held the jade scepter and lowered his head and said, "Since that's the case, I will recommend General Wei to Your Highness."

"I?"

Zhong Yao was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss for a moment.

"The situation in the Western Regions is complicated, and the aristocratic families are dangerous. In the court, no one except General Wei will be able to hold this official position."

Zhong Yao?

Cao Chong was also stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Cao Pi would let the Cao family or Xiahou family go, but he didn't expect it was Zhong Yao.

If Zhong Yao goes, that's OK.

Cao Ren said very well. The situation in the Western Regions is complicated, and perhaps only people like Zhong Yao can handle it well.

"General Wei, I wonder if you have this intention?"

Zhong Yao was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew that this was not a good job, but he could not refuse, so he had to say: "I will naturally devote my life to the death to serve the State of Wei."

"good!"

Zhong Yao nodded and continued, "But the Western Regions are far away. After a while, if you want Your Highness to report everything, you may miss the opportunity to fight."

Cao Chong certainly understood what Zhong Yao meant.

"The general is outside, and the king will not accept the orders. General Wei has worked hard and made great contributions. There is still the power to act cheaply."

"In this way, the minister received the appointment."

If Zhong Yao said that this trip to the Western Regions, Cao Chong could have stuffed some people inside.

It can be regarded as a gilding journey, which can make Cao Chong's team take shape faster.
