Chapter 117 Disasters cause wind and clouds

Sun Ce's cousin, Sun Pan, is the governor who specializes in the management of scouts and fine work. After Sun Ce's side completed the reward, each service performed its own duties, recruiting new soldiers with great fanfare and carrying out hot training. In addition, it also carried out the manufacture and equipment of various military supplies: for example, Zhou Yu was responsible for the manufacture of warships and the training of sailors; for example, Lu Su was responsible for the manufacture of various siege equipment. Tai Shici was not in the position, and Lu Su could only be alone. One person is the leader. The materials and materials needed by the Dragon Army and the Land Tiger Army are prepared and handed over by various places.

In this case, all kinds of skilled craftsmen can encounter the spring in troubled times. Sun Ce gives them the treatment of six-grade officials. For like dozens of skilled craftsmen, their patriarchs can enjoy the treatment of five-grade officials.

In the era of cold weapons, many special craftsmen, such as weapons-making craftsmen, were strictly forbidden by the court to marry ordinary families. Once violated, it was equivalent to the crime of rebellion. Their technology can only be passed on from generation to generation in the form of son-in-law.

In this fucking and absurd era, many short-sighted local warlords ignore the existence of craftsmen. Only Sun Ce, Cao Cao and other princes, who are talented, pay attention to these craftsmen. These overlords, even if they tighten their belts, should give priority to taking care of skilled craftsmen.

In Jiangdong, craftsmen enjoy special supplies and live in a safe and comfortable rear. Such treatment has attracted more and more craftsmen to move to Jiangdong. Their hard work has laid a solid foundation for the rise of Jiangdong. So much so that thousands of years later, it is still circulating in society that it is better to go thousands of miles south than to move half a brick to the north. It can be seen that the south is more suitable for people to survive, and the living conditions are superior.

Therefore, in the secret letter, Sun Ce asked Taishici to mobilize the local skilled craftsmen and his family to move to Jiangdong. Tai Shici deeply admired Sun Ce's foresight. Sun Ce valued him so much that he was also quite moved. Tai Shici silently swore in his heart that as long as Sun Ce was alive, he would be loyal to Sun Ce for a day and wholeheartedly!

Of course, Tai Shici also knows that Sun Ce's promotion of him must be hated and dissatisfied by old-fashioned clans like Zhang Zhaohandang. Like Zhang Zhaohandang, how much they want their children to take on the position of Taishici, and then let people like Taishici be his deputy... But in reality, Sun Ce has no Do this, but directly arrange Tai Shici to the right position in one step! How much courage and responsibility does it take? In this way, it is enough to make Tai Shici grateful!

The water rose, Tai Shici was promoted, and Gao Shun Sulman and others were also promoted. Anyway, promotion is a happy event. That night, Taishi Ci and his confidant generals held a banquet and got drunk!

At the same time, in different places: Taishici led his troops to Youzhou. Youzhou is like a pot of cold water that is constantly heating up, and it will take some time to boil. In the boundary of Xuzhou in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is already a burning iron furnace, and there is a possibility of iron flow at any time.

It turned out that some days ago, Cao Cao Cao's parents went to * province and passed through Xuzhou on the return trip and stayed at the Xuzhou post station at night. As a result, Zhang Hai, the general who guarded the city, covetted the property carried by Cao Cao Cao's parents. Late at night, Zhang Hai led his troops to kill all Cao Cao's parents and forty bodyguards and maids, and staged a game of money. A deadly tragedy.

The time for Cao Cao's parents to leave their relatives is fixed and agreed in advance. Seeing half a month passed, Cao Cao did not see his parents' figure. At Cao Cao's request, Guo Jia calculated a divination for Cao Cao's parents' travel, and the hexagram showed that it was extremely fierce. The fierce gossip shows that Cao Cao's parents have suffered a disaster.

When Guo Jia told Cao Cao this fact, Cao Cao fainted on the spot. Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao's parents were very good to Cao Cao. When they were young, they did not force Cao Cao to follow the rules and let him grow up freely. Therefore, Cao Cao said "I didn't hear the court words", that is to say, his parents did not accuse him when they saw him climbing trees and digging bird eggs in the courtyard, and pretended to turn a blind eye. Later, Cao Cao's misfortune in the officialdom was his father's love, which allowed Cao Cao's life to survive.

Such affection is heavier than the mountains and deeper than the sea. Now that his parents have suffered a disaster, how can Cao Cao bear it? He couldn't stand this huge blow, and his eyes suddenly darkened and he fainted. When he was rescued by the military doctor and woke up, the right half of his head was in great pain. From this time on, Cao Cao had a migraine.

Cao Cao endured the fainting headache and ordered Cao Chun, the general of the camp, to explore the route that his parents must go through. Cao Cao asked: to see people alive, and to see the corpses in death... When Cao Cao said the last sentence, he could no longer control the sadness in his heart. He burst into tears and cried. The shape of the situation also moved the viewer.

A day later, Cao Chun drove the golden-winged Dapeng and returned to Bozhou City. Cao Chun reported the results of the investigation to Cao Cao: Cao Cao's parents had been killed by the murderer, the body was abandoned in the wilderness, gnawed to death by beasts, and had no skin. The bones of Cao Cao's parents have been convercated in the coffin.

Of course, Cao Chun also explained his inference to Cao Cao: the murderer is most likely to be the general defending the city in Xuzhou, because there are no powerful bandits in the area where Cao Cao's parents were alive, and ordinary bandits are by no means the opponents of the bodyguard escorting Cao Cao's parents...

After listening to Cao Chun's report, Cao Cao resisted the pain in his heart. He said slowly to Cao Chun, "Chuner, go and send a notice to Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou, and ask him to thoroughly investigate the blood case and arrest the murderer..."

Cao Chun is the eldest son of Cao Cao's cousin, so Cao Cao pretends to be his uncle. Cao Chun was ordered to leave. The whole hall fell into a dead silence again. Everyone bowed their heads, and only the sad depression filled the air.

Guo Jia looked up and his eyes closed sadly. Then, he said to Cao Cao with a cold face, "Cao Gong, Xuzhou Tao Qian will not seriously investigate this matter. Cao Gong, don't forget who is behind Tao Qian?! We'd better gather troops to prepare for the siege equipment and attack Xuzhou at any time!"

When Cao Cao heard this, it suddenly sounded that Tao Qian's maternal line was the Zhen family, and the Zhen family was the first big family to offend Cao Cao when he was the county magistrate. After all, Cao Cao Cao is Cao. He is a talented and ambitious hero. In the face of the new situation, he began to ignore his inner grief and his brain began to work rapidly.

A moment later, Cao Cao said in a low voice to Xun Yu, "Xun Changshi, just do what Guo Junshi said. We really need to prepare for the rainy day..."

"No!" After Xun Yu took the order, he began to write hard. After a while, Xun Yu wrote the military order to gather various arms, and then took the tiger charm from Guo Jia's hand, the seal from Cao Cao's hand, and stamped Cao Cao's seal on the military order. After that, Xun Yu handed over the half of the tiger charm and the military order to the summons and ordered them to go to the camps to issue orders.

On Cao Cao's side, the power to mobilize troops is divided into three parts: Cao Cao is in charge of the seal, the military division Guo Jia is in charge of the tiger charm, and Changshi Xun Yu is responsible for drafting the military order. In this way, it can be guaranteed that other people will mobilize troops outside Cao Cao's sight, thus maintaining Cao Cao's authority and eliminating the possibility of Cao Cao's relatives and usurpating power from the offside to the greatest extent.

Xuzhou is an ancient city, which has been built for 800 years. However, as a state city, Xuzhou City is still small compared with the history of the old city of Pengcheng. The old city of Pengcheng is said to have been built during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It is the Taoist temple of the ancestor of Pengcheng, a descendant of Gaoyang. It is said that the ancestor of Pengcheng lived to be 800 years old before he turned into an immortal and drove the crane to the west. Of course, there is another old city in the Three Kingdoms era that is comparable to Pengcheng, that is, Shaoxing City in the south of Yangzhou, which is also the old city established by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Because Xuzhou City relies on the ancient city of Pengcheng, and has a lot of connections with the three emperors and five emperors, Xuzhou City has a detached status. Pengcheng, an old city 200 miles away from Xuzhou City, was also a place that the princes of all parties did not dare to provoke easily during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even the First Emperor of Qin, who later unified China, also loved Pengcheng. Basically, Pengcheng is a special zone, no matter which dynasty it is.

The city is detached, and the people living in it are also consciously superior, all of whom are descendants of the three emperors and five emperors; the people are like this, and the rich families in the city can be imagined.
