    The most suitable candidate to take command is naturally Xiao Yi. Since his debut more than 20 years ago, he has been invincible and invincible. He has rich experience in commanding large armies and is more than enough to deal with the crisis at hand!

    The most unsuitable candidate for command is also Xiao Yi, who has overwhelming power and great achievements. If he is allowed to achieve new military exploits and further increase his strength, who can restrain the Xiao family?

    After much thought, Cao Pi still hoped to send a clan general to go out and firmly control the military power, so as to restrain the two major groups of the Xiao family and the gentry clan, and ensure that the Wei Dynasty would be consolidated forever. But who should he send?

    Among the first-generation clan generals, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan have all passed away. Only Cao Hong is left. Because he was on the wrong team at the beginning, he was given a cold reception after the founding of the Wei Dynasty.  He became so depressed that he was said to be so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.

    Even if Cao Pi is willing to put aside his prejudices and re-appoint this clan uncle, I am afraid that Cao Hong will not be able to fight on the battlefield. As for the second-generation clan generals, there are very few who can be entrusted with important responsibilities!

    "Generals Wen Lie and Zi Dan, the Shu Han has invaded our territory, and the war situation ahead is tense. What do you think about this?"

    Cao Pi's eyes fell on Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen. One was a general and the other was a hussar general. Their status was equal to that of the three princes, and it was their duty to lead troops on expeditions.

    What's more important is that these two people are not only clan generals, but also have surrendered to him very early. They helped fight for the throne of the prince, succeeded to the throne of Wei, and usurped the Han Dynasty to become emperor. They were very reliable politically. As for their abilities,  ¡­¡­

    "Now that the country is in trouble, it is our duty as a general. I am willing to die for Your Majesty, lead the troops to Jingzhou, and fight Guan Yu to the death!"

    Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen looked at each other and knelt down to ask for orders to go to war. There was a tragic meaning in their words, because they had the courage to go to war and the determination to die, but they were not sure of winning!

    Among the second-generation clan generals, they are indeed the best. When Cao Cao was alive, he also spent a lot of effort to train the two of them, thinking of leaving them to his son for escort, but the effect was not ideal.

    Among the generals in the Cao camp, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen could only be regarded as second-rate generals. They did not achieve a few military exploits, but suffered a lot from defeats. Especially in the battle for Jingzhou in the ninth year of Jian'an, they were defeated at the hands of Liu Bei's army several times.  A lot of soldiers and horses were lost!

    "If Cao Cao hadn't intended to protect them, the two of them would have been beheaded in accordance with military law. They were spared the death penalty but could not escape the crime of living. They were punished and worked as grooms for several months, cooking horse feed and sweeping horse manure every day. They almost became the laughingstock of the army.

    After the founding of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Pi vigorously promoted clan generals. Cao Xiu was granted the title of general, and Cao Zhen was granted the title of hussar general, in order to restrict Xiao Yi's influence in the army. However, it backfired. This incident caused dissatisfaction among many generals, who secretly ridiculed them.  Salary: crony general, groom general!

    Cao Pi also had a bad reputation of "not distinguishing between the wise and the foolish, but using people as relatives". Not only did he fail to control the army, but he made the generals with different surnames more alienated and more inclined to the Xiao family.

    Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen also wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately they were unable to succeed. It was not that they did not work hard enough, nor that they were greedy for life, or that they had no enterprising spirit, but that there were some things that could not be changed by humans.

    To put it simply, generals may be cultivated, but handsome talents can only be born. Wisdom, bravery, ruthlessness, agility, courageall kinds of qualities are indispensable. Therefore, in the long history, there are only a handful of truly handsome talents: Bai Qi  , Wang Jian, and Han Xin are just that. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are hardly among them!

    The difference between a general and a commander is that the former is driven by others and can only charge into battle; the latter is responsible for his own role, commanding millions of soldiers, and has the ability to defeat the enemy and destroy the country!

    Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen knew clearly that although they had high official titles, they did not have enough prestige in the army to command those arrogant generals. If they faced powerful opponents like Zhuge Liang and Guan Yunchang, they would not be able to escape alive, let alone win on the battlefield.  It would be nice to come back.

    "The two generals are very loyal and brave. They are indeed my loyal ministers. Very, very good!"

    Cao Pi smiled and praised the two of them, but he felt bitter in his heart and gave up his plan to send them out. This was the first battle of the founding of the Wei Dynasty. They could never be defeated, let alone defeated by the clan generals!

    "In addition, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are generals after all. If they are retained, they can contain Xiao Yi. If they unfortunately die in battle, they will have no one to use, which will be extremely detrimental to the Cao family!

    This is difficult to handle. The generals of the clan are either old and sick, or lack the ability. None of them can shoulder the heavy burden. Who can we rely on to lead the expedition? Do we have to come to ask for that person?

    "I dare to report to Your Majesty, this kind of thing is happening in front of you.Missing the door proves that he is still thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors!  ¡¯

    On June 18, Hanzhong County also sent an urgent report. Zhuge Liang commanded 150,000 troops to attack Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Yangba Road in three directions. The defenders were fighting fiercely with them. Please ask the court to quickly send reinforcements.  !

    After hearing the news, Cao Pi walked around the palace for a long time. He walked to the gate several times, then gritted his teeth and stepped back, refusing to meet with the civil and military ministers!

    On June 20th, Jingzhou sent another urgent report: taking advantage of Guan Yu's attack on Jingxiang, Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangdong, raised 80,000 troops and more than 2,000 large and small warships and stationed in Jiangxia County.  Sitting back and watching success or failure is like fishing in troubled waters!

    Now Cao Pi couldn't sit still. Once Shu Han and Sun Wu joined forces in the Northern Expedition, Cao Wei's regime would be really in danger, so he went out of the palace to meet with the ministers to discuss sending troops to fight!

    To be more precise, how to invite Xiao Yi out is not an easy task!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
