Cao Cao had this idea for a year or two, it was a few years ago, but at that time, the family was huge, even Cao Cao didn't dare to open this mouth, but now?

Above 10,000 people, Cao Cao has completely done it, all the high-ranking officials in the court are Cao Cao's cronies, middle and low-level, these years have also been through various names, unknowingly installed some people from the cold family, today's family, the power above the court of the Great Wei, compared with a few years ago, can be said to be greatly weakened, which is also the reason why Cao Cao has boiled frogs in warm water for several years.

As for Jingzhou itself, Xiangyang was not very quiet that day, after those barbarian soldiers entered the city, under Cao Cao's intentional laissez-faire, it can be said that those neutral factions called the wall-riding faction and the hostile faction of the family were ransacked, which not only helped Cao Cao greatly understand the local family power in Jingzhou, but also gave Cao Cao's treasury a big gift.

Before Cao Cao came first, to this day, the imperial examination is almost the same, although there are still obstacles and difficulties, but when it should be done, it must be done, if he, the founding king, has no way to complete it, then there is no need to hope that the successor of the future generations can complete it.

Guo Jiake didn't understand the complicated thoughts in Cao Cao's heart, and at this time he asked with a ashamed face: "I don't know what the imperial examination is?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then thought that there was no so-called imperial examination before this, and he patted his head and explained: "In the past, most of the talents selected were recommended, although this method has benefits, but the disadvantages are also quite obvious. ”

Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully, and Cao Cao then continued: "And the method of recommendation is easy to miss useful talents!" ”

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true! However, this imperial examination. How? ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Fengxiao doesn't have to be anxious!" I'll tell you about it! ”

Immediately, Cao Cao put the so-called imperial examination. told Guo Jiaxu again, the content is roughly what Cao Cao saw in later film and television dramas. In addition, I added some thoughts of my own.

For example, the people who came out of the imperial examination were not directly officials at the beginning, but first put them to the lower level for training, just like the civil servants of later generations, as for the Bagu Wen or something, of course, it is impossible to appear, but the imperial examination is divided into two categories: civil and military, unlike later generations, except for the Tang Dynasty. There is only a liberal arts examination, not a martial arts examination.

Guo Jia's eyes were wide open, and he looked frightened.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Guo Jia like this, and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think of my thoughts?" ”

Guo Jia came back to his senses and bowed to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty's plan is really clever!" The tone was full of admiration.

As soon as the imperial examination came out, it can be said that it gave a great grace to the vast number of poor families in the world. Since then, all those who have come out of the imperial examination have been loyal to the Great Wei from the first place.

It's not much, but it's compared to this time. Most of the officials from the family are loyal to their own family first, and then the court comes to see them. That's a huge step forward!

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Feng Xiao thinks this method is feasible?" ”

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "Absolutely feasible!" ”

Cao Cao pondered: "Since Fengxiao also thinks it is feasible. Then send a letter to Wenhe, Gongtai, and Zhicai to ask for their opinions! ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia promised. Exited Jianzhang Palace.

Cao Cao touched the beard on his chin and thought, "I wonder if this imperial examination can fish out some celebrities in history." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao left Jianzhang Palace and went to the military camp outside the city.

Shouchun Wu Army Camp!

Sun Jian sat on the throne with a gloomy expression, and all the generals and strategists were silent, as if they were thinking about troublesome things.

"I didn't expect the Han Kingdom to lose so quickly!" Sun Jian said with some emotion.

Zhang Zhao frowned and said: "Jingzhou Xiangyang was captured by the Wei army, which means that the entire northern Jingzhou is in the hands of the Wei State, so that our army will directly face the soldiers of the Wei State!" Now the troops in my Great Wu are gathered here, the Han State in Jingzhou has just been defeated, Liu Qi has disappeared, and the southern part of Jingzhou will inevitably be in chaos. ”

Zhang Zhao paused for a moment and thought: "For today's plan, there are only two ways, the first is to break through Shouchun in the shortest possible time, go north to the Central Plains in the hinterland of Wei, besiege Wei to save Zhao, and even reverse the offensive and defensive momentum, the second is to temporarily stabilize Cao Cao, make peace with Wei, and then deploy defenses across the river to rectify armaments, and at the same time conquer the South China Sea and Jiaozhou counties in the south!" ”

Quickly captured Shouchun, thinking of the city that was the same as the turtle shell, everyone who was doing it shook their heads, Sun Jian also had a gloomy face, before he set out on the expedition, he was originally able to break Shouchun in only a few days because of his own royal expedition, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Zhang Liao and Cao Pi all the time under Shouchun!

The first path is obviously not feasible, so there is only the second one, but Sun Jian took a deep look at Zhang Zhao, he didn't believe that this old guy would not know this, his so-called two roads, in the end, there is only one way left to choose!

Thinking that Zhang Zhao is also one of the Xuzhou families, and he has been very close to the heads of those families in Yangzhou in recent days, Sun Jian's expression couldn't help but flicker, but even so, Sun Jian had no choice, Wu was different from Wei, and Wei had the children of the Han family cultivated by Cao Cao to replace the family, but in Wu State, if Sun Jian really destroyed the family, then the entire administrative system of Wu State would collapse by itself!

The state of Wu and the family within it are already twin relationships at this time, which can be said to be either born together or die together, and in this, the country of Wu represented by Sun Jian can be said to be in the middle of the downwind.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian took a deep breath in his heart, smiled on his face, and nodded thoughtfully: "Zibu, what you said is extremely true!" But I don't know who made the envoy to Xiangyang? ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Cao Cao is not an arrogant and arrogant person, but a cautious person, if he doesn't want to be the enemy with the three southern kingdoms, then at this moment he must have sent envoys to my Great Wu and Shu Han!" After touching Cao Cao's thoughts, he will send an envoy to Xiangyang! In Yichen's opinion, it is most appropriate for Zhuge Jin to send Xiangyang to Xiangyang! ”

Sun Jian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

The next day, Cao Cao's envoy arrived at the Wu army camp under Shouchun City, and Sun Jian ordered all the troops to line up to meet the envoy, and his intention was self-evident.

Cao Cao's envoy spent a day in Sun Jian's camp, and then returned to Xiangyang with Sun Jian's envoy Zhuge Jin. (To be continued......)
