Sima Yi and Yang Xiu were able to live well because they had a large number of supporters behind them, and the two were members of an aristocratic family.

And he is nothing.

Cao Cao alone is far from enough to protect himself.

"This... okay." Cao Zhi was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, and went down after surrendering.

The people around were relieved.

Especially Cao Pi, who was even more nervous just now.

"Okay, you continue to eat."

"Ning Yi, you come with me."

Cao Cao saw that the banquet was almost over (Nuo Zhao's), and the momentum for Su Chen was considered complete, and he was not in the mood to stay here any longer.

Because most of the people here are from aristocratic families, and from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't like aristocratic families very much.

Without him.

These aristocratic families are all worms, and if you are not careful, you can drill a few holes in him.

"No." Su Chen wiped his hands and mouth, got up and followed behind Cao Cao, and walked inside.

The rest of the people looked at each other in dismay.

The Prime Minister is also very good to Su Chen.

Among the people present, whether Cheng Yu or Xun Yu, who is not someone close to the prime minister?What's more, even Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were still there, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were even the younger brothers of the Prime Minister, but now they were all left in the cold.

They don't understand, they don't understand at all.

What does the prime minister mean.

After leaving the backyard.

Cao Cao took Su Chen to a nearby courtyard, where there was a small stream filled with ornamental fish of various colors.

At this time, Cao Cao took some fish food and threw it into the water, and he saw those fish madly rushing to eat in the water.

Soon, a large cloud of blood appeared in the clear water.

Cao Cao frowned and poured all the fish food in his hand into it.

"The prime minister seems to have something on his mind?" Su Chen stood aside, looking at Cao Cao and asked.

"Haha...or Ning Yi, you understand me." Cao Cao smiled, then clapped his hands and squatted down to wash his hands in the stream.

Some fish came to bite Cao Cao's fingers.

Cao Cao had no choice but to retrieve his hands and wipe them with a cloth at will.

"I don't know what it is, let the Prime Minister be like this, can you tell me, maybe I can help the Prime Minister share his worries." Su Chen said with a slightly condensed gaze.

It was the first time he saw Cao Cao like this.

This is not like the traitor who would rather take the world down, but like a helpless monarch.

"Didn't you see it all just now?" Cao Cao turned his head, looked at Su Chen and asked.lung.

Chapter 207

Hearing Cao Cao's rhetorical question, Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

He frowned slightly, thinking about the scenes he just saw.

The guests are happy and the atmosphere is harmonious, isn't it good?

wrong!

Cao Cao said so, it must have its deep meaning.

It's just that he only cared about eating and drinking at the time, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Looking back at this time, I can only vaguely perceive some differences.

Soon, Su Chen thought of it in his mind.

Family!

Yes, only aristocratic families can make Cao Cao so worried and helpless.

What I saw at the banquet just now, the major families are connected with each other, and they have formed a huge force. If Cao Cao faces one or two of them, he can deal with it calmly.

But with so many aristocratic families together, even Cao Cao had no choice but to back down.

"The prime minister is worried about the family." Su Chen said with a smile.

"good."

Cao Cao nodded with a worried look on his face: "Most of the land in the world falls into the hands of aristocratic families, and most of them are officials in the court and the middle, and most of them are controlled by aristocratic families. I am a military officer, and most of them are from aristocratic families. less."

"And Ning Yi, you are the only one. You are from a poor family, and you are talented in the sky. That's why I set up a feast today. The purpose is to create momentum for you."

"I want everyone to know my determination and attitude."

Su Chen was a little shocked when he heard the words.

Cao Cao said it lightly, but the risks involved cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.

To give a simple example, when Liu Bei went to Xuchang to meet the emperor, he wrote an imperial edict with a group of civil and military officials.

Next, Cao Cao suffered from a headache and was almost sent away by the doctor at that time with a poison.

It can be seen that there are many people who want to kill Cao Cao, but they are all cleaned up by Cao Cao on weekdays.

Even in order to avoid assassins, Cao Cao also publicized the news that he likes to kill in his dreams.

For Cao Cao, this kind of thing has no benefit at all, but it also tarnishes his reputation, making the people mistakenly think that Cao Cao is an executioner and loves killing.

It can be seen how far Cao Cao has been forced.

Among them, to say that there is no shadow of the family, Su Chen would not believe it.

"But Prime Minister, what you are doing today is a bit risky." Su Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "The root of the family's growth lies in the monopoly of power and talents."

"Essentially, the family is still very useful. If it is used well, it will also be a great help to the Prime Minister."

"Furthermore, with the current situation, the prime minister and the noble family can be divided and suppressed before the time of confrontation, but they cannot be opposed clearly."

Cao Cao smiled: "Ning Yi, you're right, so today I'm just building momentum and not doing anything else."

"The reason, those smart people must understand."

Su Chen smiled and glanced at Cao Cao.

He could understand that Boss Cao was trying to scare those people today, telling them to be honest, or maybe at some point, Boss Cao's butcher's knife would be stuck on those people's necks.

I have to say that Boss Cao is really an old silver coin. Such a statement can at least make those irritable members of the aristocratic family settle down.

"Ha ha!"

"However, Prime Minister, this is not enough to build momentum. I plan to add more fire and bake those guys on the fire. The Prime Minister can see how many people can't stand it and jump out."

"It's not too late for the prime minister to raise the butcher's knife again."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"Oh? What are your thoughts?" Cao Cao glanced at Su Chen in surprise and asked quickly.

"The prime minister can issue an order to seek talents to the world, regardless of one's background, only merit." Su Chen chuckled lightly.

"Seeking merit!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Chen in shock.

He felt that he was bold enough, but he didn't expect Su Chen to be bolder than him.

As soon as the merit-seeking order comes out, can those aristocratic families still be able to sit still?

This is clearly to find the root of the family, Cao Cao can imagine what kind of commotion this order will cause.

However, the more this happened, the more excited Cao Cao became.

Even my heart beat faster by three points.

"Good, as you say."

"If you can get the talents of the world, why worry that the world will not be stable."

Cao Cao said with a blushing face.

"However, Prime Minister, to execute this order, you need to firmly hold something in your hand." Su Chen reminded solemnly.

"What?" Cao Cao asked with a condensed expression, looking at Su Chen.

"military power."

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he said loudly, "In troubled times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people will win the world, but there is a premise that there is political power within the military power. If there are no soldiers, the rest will be empty talk."

"Well, I naturally know the importance of it." Cao Cao laughed.

He has ruled the army for many years, how can he not understand the importance of military power.

Now the soldiers and horses under his command are in the hands of the trusted clan generals and family generals, but there is no need to worry about the waves that those noble families can make.

"If that's the case, then I can rest assured. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Su Chen didn't plan to stay alone with Cao Cao for too long, so as not to cause suspicion.

"Wait..." Cao Cao shouted, and when Su Chen turned around, he said a little embarrassedly, "Ning Yi, I know you have just come back from Jingzhou and you are exhausted both physically and mentally, but now that Ma Chao is coming, I would like to I plan to send you out with the army."

Hearing this, Su Chen rolled his eyes.

Boss Cao really didn't want him to rest.

After this series of running around, even the Iron Man couldn't stand it.

What's more, Zhen Mi was still waiting for him in the mansion and had not seen him for a long time. Naturally, the two of them wanted to take care of him.

In addition, there is Huang Yueying, he still needs to see the last one.

However, Boss Cao invited him so earnestly, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "I will go out with the army."

"it is good."

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "You go back to rest for a day first, and tomorrow morning, I will recruit the whole army to discuss matters, and it will not be too late to send troops at that time."
