Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 593 Cao Mengde wants to repay Han En

Cao Cao said a few words, outside the ancestral hall, there was silence, the young people looked excited, and the older people looked at each other with admiration.

There are some people in this world who are born to achieve great things.

Because they have great personalities that ordinary people don't have, the will to never give up and never give up, the qualities of daring to be the first and not being afraid of difficulties are some of them.

Cao Cao is such a person. He has many characters that can only be possessed by people who do great things, such as persistence and persistence.

Most things in this world are seen from the perspective of God, and it is clear what should be done, and latecomers can always judge a person's wisdom arbitrarily.

But in fact, in the environment full of darkness and mist, not knowing whether the front is an opportunity or a danger, how many people dare to do one thing firmly?
Raising troops to serve the king is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

It is unimaginable how much resources are consumed to form an army capable of fighting. It is no exaggeration to call it a gold-swallowing beast.

Moreover, an army has been formed, and there will always be wars, and it is okay to win.

As long as you lose the battle, all your investments will be wiped out, and you will lose everything in an instant.

Even with the background of the Cao family, if the King Qin army is formed, there will be at most two failures.

If there were more, the entire family would go bankrupt. The family is a complex of political and economic groups bound by blood ties. Without the family wealth background, it is only a matter of time before the family completely declines.

Why don't those top gentry fight alone, but support the princes?
Is it because the princes have too much power?
Or is the throne not fragrant?
Why not invest in a certain vassal with your own family, but pull the gentry from the county and state to invest together?

Is it because you want others to share your benefits and power with kindness?
of course not!

It is to minimize the loss caused by failure under the premise of guaranteeing the power dividend, and to attract more investment, the greater the probability of success, the lower the possibility of the investment being wiped out.

It is no exaggeration that a top gentry family could not withstand several failures of the princes.

According to the law of gentry survival, Cao Cao's behavior is inappropriate.

Because the Cao family is no longer the kind of ordinary tyrant who needs to put the whole family's life on it.

Only those tyrants with low status will use their wealth and life to gamble for an unknown future.

But this is the charm of Cao Cao. He is not a gambler, but clearly tells people what the family should do and how the family should do it.

Cao Cao's words resounded in everyone's ears, "Because Emperor Xiaocheng of the Han Dynasty loved his family and his family, he became famous. Now that the Han Dynasty is in danger, can the family sit idly by?"

I, Cao Mengde, want to serve the monarch and guard the country of the great man, are you willing to follow?
This deafening voice reverberated between the ancestral temple and outside. In such an environment, it seemed that Cao's ancestors were speaking.

Questioning!
Do you still remember, why is my Cao family so happy?
It's Emperor Xiaocheng!

"I would like to follow my elder brother, serve the emperor, and defend the Han Dynasty!"

When the first brother knelt on the ground on one knee, this is not just a courtesy between brothers, but a courtier's courtesy to the monarch, everything changed.

The most outstanding children of the family were willing to follow him, shouting in unison.

The elders frowned. The greatest resource of a family is people. When a family is willing to follow him in the future.

What are those so-called money and food backgrounds?

Cao Cao's father sighed slightly, and was about to speak when he heard a loud voice, "Meng De is right!"

Everyone in the Cao family either turned their heads or turned around to look, only to see a group of people walking in, some old and some young, some dressed in crown clothes, or dressed in strong clothes.

Everyone in the Cao family is familiar with this group. It is another big family in Qiao County, the Xiahou family.

Seeing the members of the Xiahou clan, the members of the Cao clan brought smiles on their faces, and the Patriarch of the Cao clan went up to greet him and asked Patriarch Xiahou why he was here.

The ancestors of the Xiahou clan were the heroes who founded the country, the Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahouying, and the Xiahou clan that is still active today, no matter which county or county they are in, they are all branches without exception.

The Xiahou family was prominent for hundreds of years, and then experienced a hundred years of decline. They continued to rely on their ancestors, until they completely declined at the end of the Han Dynasty, and then separated and lived in various counties and counties.

The Xiahou family in Qiao County, Peijun County, is a local wealthy family. Because there is no family tradition of Confucianism, it is not considered a noble family.

But the Xiahou family is considered a general, with a complete method of training generals, and it has a wide range of land, which is very prosperous in Qiao County.

The Xiahou family and the Cao family were married to each other, and the relationship between them was intricate, almost like a family.

It can be said that if the emperor wanted the Yi tribe, the Xiahou family would not be able to escape.

After exchanging greetings with the Patriarch of the Cao family, the Patriarch of the Xiahou family walked towards Cao Cao, looking at Cao Cao who was not tall but full of pride, his eyes were full of admiration, and he patted Cao Cao on the shoulder heavily and said: : "The Cao family has a son like Meng De, and it is about to prosper.

With a son like you in Qiao County, he can save himself before the Taiping Army.

It's a pity that my Xiahou family doesn't have a man like you.

What you said just now, Meng De, is very good. Loyalty is the foundation of a family. The Xiahou family has received the emperor's favor for generations, so they are today. How can they fall behind others?

The matter of Qin Wang must not be left behind.

Nephew Meng Dexian, look at your clan brothers, who do you like, I will let them go with you, and serve you as master. "

As soon as Patriarch Xiahou’s words came out, everyone was shocked in an instant. What he gave to Cao Cao was not just a few Xiahou’s children, but the Xiahou’s investment. The connection between Xiahou’s and Cao’s is very Tight, now this is going to continue to strengthen!

Patriarch Xiahou didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He just liked Cao Cao. He saw that even if the Taiping Rebellion was quelled, all the localities would support themselves and form a princely situation. Help my family.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words. If he could get the help of the Xiahou family, he would be more confident in making contributions to the king.

He was going to contact the Xiahou family, and he thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that the head of the Xiahou family offered to help him.

This moved him very much, he raised his eyes to look at the brothers of his Cao clan, and then at the smiling Xiahou clan, feeling quite emotional for a moment.

Sure enough, they are brothers in battle, fighting father and son soldiers. If you want to achieve great things, you must rely on clan brothers. Everyone today will be my humerus in the future.

If after suppressing the Taiping Army, he really became General Zhengxi because of his meritorious service, he must do more conquests to make these people worship as generals.

Thinking of these things, Cao Cao immediately bowed deeply, with a solemn face, as if saying an oath: "Cao Cao will never let down your trust."

……

"The world is in chaos, the society is in turmoil, the Taiping bandits are everywhere, and they are advancing on Luoyang, and the royal family is dying.

Fuck, it's just a man in the county with a humble reputation and insignificant talent. Fortunately, the emperor favored him, and he was added as a Yilang and a captain.

When the wind is strong, you can know the strong grass, and when the day is rough, you can see the loyal ministers. Is there any hero in the county who is willing to serve the king with Cao?

Cao is willing to spend all his family wealth, recruit warriors, each armed with armor, and fight to save the great Han community. "

The 300 years of the Han Dynasty have let everyone in the world know how precious prestige is.

Cao Cao once wandered among Peijun, and later went to Luoyang with Maocai, where he made a name for himself.

Now the reputation accumulated over the years has finally played a role. He is famous in Peijun, and with the reputation of Cao and Xiahou in Peijun, there are as many heroes who come to join him in the counties as crucian carp crossing the river.

There are as many as thousands of young and strong people from the county alone who come to join the army. In the entire Pei County, there are probably more than [-] Xiangyong who can be recruited.

After the Cao family and the Xiahou family made up their minds, Cao Cao sent heroic posts to all counties in Peijun, saying that he would build the King Qin army and enter Luoyang King Qin.

This time it's not about recruiting brave men, but about inviting gentry to join and big tyrants to join. The signal revealed is obvious, what are you waiting for?
Waiting for the Taiping Army to break through the county seat, and then strip and loot all of you?

I, Cao Mengde, do you all know how good I am at fighting?
The top rich family in Luoyang, Yuan Shao from Runan Yuan family is my brother.

In a family with five surnames, Duke Qi and I call each other brothers, you should know that too.

I have visited Pei County several times, is there anyone more promising than me?
If you don't come to join me, wait until the Taiping Army soldiers approach the city, don't blame me for not saving them.

Cao Cao's act of pulling the tiger's skin as a banner produced remarkable results. All the counties joined the army enthusiastically. The most important thing is that many powerful landlords with a little wealth came to join him.

In the era of Confucian classics, these people had no status in the officialdom, and they were naturally not considered commanders. However, many of them were unborn fierce generals. Enemy is not too much.

Even the head of a county with two thousand shi, the prefect of Pei County, could not do this scene.

You must know that in this era, the county guards are regarded as the lords of the country, which shows the prestige of the Cao family and Xiahou family in Pei County, and the importance of Cao Cao's reputation in the past!
Everything is ready, raise the banner, King Qin sets sail!

----

Emperor Wu was born in Qiao County, Peijun. His surname was Cao, his taboo was Cao, and his courtesy name was Mengde. He was born after Qiaohou of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu was less bold, powerful, and lived among Peijun. He was dissolute and dissolute. Chong Jin, now that I have a unicorn son, can I enter the court?!"

Emperor Wu said with emotion, "Wu Shuang Marquis Wu Xiang said: 'When a husband is born between heaven and earth, he should hold a three-foot sword and make an immortal achievement. How can he be melancholy between pen and ink?"

When I die, engrave "The Tomb of Qiao Houcao, General of the Han Dynasty Expedition to the West", and I will live up to this life. "

The family is even more strange, and the name is passed down to the prefecture and county. At the age of [-], he was named Maocai! ——"Wei Shu·The Chronicle of Emperor Wu"
