Before the Wei army was mobilized, the Hebei families still had the confidence, thinking that Cao Cao would not be able to do anything to them, and as long as they were almost out of the way, then even Cao Cao would have to be suppressed in front of the broken silk of the world's families.

However, the confidence of the Hebei family is like a paper tiger, in the face of frequent transfers, the soldiers directly pointed at their Wei army, in the face of Zhen Mi's transmission, the harsh words on it, the heads of the Hebei family are instigated, obviously, after really feeling the soldiers, their courage is not even as good as a civilian, just because as the head of the family, they do not have the courage to gamble on the family that they have still inherited for hundreds of years, Cao Cao is true or fake this time.

This time the family's softness, not only let Cao Cao get the money and food for the army, but also let Cao Cao see the weakness of the family, it is precisely because of the huge wealth and inheritance, so that the heads of these families are even more afraid, their families are destroyed, and they become the last heads of the family, so it is no wonder that when the history is chaotic, so many families in the north surrendered, obviously compared to the Han world, they care more about the survival of their own families.

"According to the words of later generations, these family heads are the people who don't feel uncomfortable!"

Cao Cao chuckled, the solution of the army's money and grain, and the appearance of the family's weakness undoubtedly made his mood very happy, not to mention the rest, as long as he used these money and grain to support him for a year, and after a year, with the taxes of the entire Central Plains and the north, it was enough for the Wei army to change his breath and go on a big expedition.

"Come, hand over this edict to the military department Shangshu, and order him to immediately prepare the first qiē matter of the army's expedition, and at the same time order the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, order everyone in the Ministry of Rites, and proclaim the edict issued by the Son of Heaven to the world!"

Cao Cao threw a white cloth that he had just finished writing into the hands of the soldiers below, and said slowly at the same time, although the money and grain of the Hebei family have not yet arrived, but with their promise, Cao Cao can first use the money and grain in the treasury to send a force to Tongguan to help Lejin resist Ma Teng and others.

As for whether the Hebei family would regret it, Cao Cao didn't think about it at all, as long as they still thought about the survival of their family, they didn't dare to take the risk and dare to regret it.

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xun You, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lu Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately took action, and the Ministry of War immediately contacted the Ministry of Households, moved the money and grain from the treasury, and at the same time stored the information of the soldiers who went out this time as a future need.

Lu Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, carried all the people of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, using the printing technology that had just been produced, and continuously printed the edict of the Son of Heaven, and passed it to the world quickly.

As a historical basis, the effectiveness and action of the three provinces and six ministries of the political system in China within the millennium will obviously exceed that of the three princes and nine secretaries system, which was already decaying at that time.

After Cao Cao's order was issued, on the second day, not to mention the military department and the ritual department that received Cao Cao's order, even if the remaining four departments and the three provinces all did other expedition matters, the rest was waiting for Cao Cao to announce the list of generals for this expedition.

This kind of action will shock the princes even more when it is transmitted to the world in the future, and as for the countries of the Western Regions that will inevitably be dealt with in the future, it is needless to say.

Regarding the list of generals for this expedition, Cao Cao set it in his heart very early, that is, Zhao Yun and Cao Pi, of which Zhao Yun was the main general, and Cao Pi was the partial general, leading 10,000 light cavalry to Tongguan.

In this era, the infantry faced the cavalry, unless they had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers and formed a battle formation, otherwise, they could not beat the cavalry at all, let alone the Xiliang cavalry, which had been brave for generations.

Large-scale foot soldiers, obviously Cao Cao could not dispatch them at this time, the only thing that could be dispatched was the cavalry with good mobility and power, and the highest talent to lead the cavalry under his command was undoubtedly Zhao Yun, who grew up on the northern border.

As for Cao Pi, it was just a battlefield observer equivalent to later generations, and Cao Cao really didn't expect Cao Pi to gain much credit for another war.

Of course, after Cao Cao issued the order to send Cao Pi to the expedition, there was still some influence among the people, and the influence of the Cao family in the hearts of the people was undoubtedly higher.

But no matter what, after Cao Cao determined the candidate for the general, on the second day, 10,000 Wei cavalry, under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Cao Pi, rushed to Tongguan.

It didn't take long for Chen Du to send troops to the hands of Ma Teng and the other Xiliang warlords, and of course there was also the edict issued by the Son of Heaven, although for the Son of Heaven at this time, Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo's remnants were not the same thing, but the resentment against Cao Cao was obviously deeper.

After all, the edict is indeed too ruthless, it is no different from scolding the ancestors on the street in later generations, and Chen Lin, who wrote this edict, obviously also left a very deep impression in the hearts of Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo's remnants.

"Mr. Zhuge , Cao Cao ordered Zhao Yun and his second son Cao Pi to be generals and lead 10,000 cavalry towards us, what does Mr. Zhuge think about this?"

At this time, in the big tent of the Xiliang Coalition Army, compared with a few years ago, Li Ru, who was obviously much older, heard Ma Teng's words, and his eyes also looked at Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in white and had a lupine scarf, and his voice was a little gloomy: "Cao Cao sent 10,000 troops, according to the next opinion, it must be to help Lejin resist our Xiliang Coalition Army, so I think that our army should take advantage of this time to capture Tongguan, Tongguan falls alone, then Xiliang in Guanzhong is in the hands of my Xiliang people, and not a single soldier of the Wei army is allowed to enter, Kong Ming, what do you think?" ”

"Although Li Junshi's words are reasonable, he believes that capturing Tongguan will do more harm than good to our army."

"Hehe, ridiculous, Tongguan is one of the three passes, don't take advantage of the low morale of the Wei army at this time, and capture it when the reinforcements have not arrived, is it difficult to wait until the Wei army is in Tongguan and annihilate my Xiliang coalition army under Tongguan?!"

Before Zhuge Liang came, Li Ru could be said to be the military advisor of the entire Xiliang, but after he came, especially after he offered a catapult and captured Chang'an, Li Ru, who deeply felt that his status was threatened, looked down on Zhuge Liang more and more. (To be continued.) )
