    Two hours after Wang Shuang and others quietly evacuated, Sima Yi's assassination was discovered by his soldiers. It immediately caused an uproar in the camp. Sima Yi was the backbone of these three thousand soldiers, and he suddenly lost  After losing their leader, they immediately fell into boundless panic.  They found that not only did they have no source of supplies, but they were completely isolated and helpless. Whether they were hit by elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty or Cao Cao's Wei soldiers, they would inevitably die.  After a period of extreme panic, the three thousand soldiers finally dispersed, taking off their armor, throwing away their weapons, and fled in all directions.  On the other side, Cao Cao completed the reorganization of the military camp where Sima Yi was originally stationed. There were more than 100,000 soldiers in the camp who belonged to the Wei State. Under Cao Cao's order, most of them returned to Cao Cao's camp.  However, before returning to serve Cao Cao, they must use their actions to prove their loyalty-showing the butcher's knife to Sima Yi's old troops and completely wiping out Sima Yi's remaining forces.  So, in the Wei army camp on the border between the Central Plains and Jizhou, two groups of Wei soldiers wearing the same armor and holding the same weapons started a life-and-death internal fight. When more than 30,000 Wei soldiers who were leaning towards Sima Yi were completely wiped out  At that time, the Wei soldiers who were preparing to return to Cao Cao also paid the lives of nearly 40,000 people.  After this fierce battle, the originally complete team of 100,000 people shrank to 40,000 people.  In order to ensure the strength of the resistance against Jizhou, Cao Cao retained all the 50,000 troops he brought and promoted the disabled Cao Ren to the position of commander again. He commanded an army of 90,000 and took over Sima Yi's position to command the two states.  border.  At the same time, Cao Cao also retained Xiahou Dun and Li Jin as Cao Ren's deputies to build the northernmost defense line in the Central Plains.  After arranging the defense, Cao Cao led the remaining generals back to Xuchang.  He must return to Xuchang as soon as possible, and then issue an edict to recruit troops nationwide, raise food and fodder, and actively prepare for war.  Because Cao Cao knew in his heart that he was now surrounded by Ao Lie. To put it bluntly, he was already a turtle in the urn.  If he didn't stock up on supplies and train his troops, he would be in big trouble after Ao Lie finished training the recruits he had recruited.  Therefore, everything must be prepared for a rainy day, put on the schedule as early as possible, and pass the buffer period of preparations as soon as possible.  Only by building strong defense lines in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Wei State.  Ten days later, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.  He didn't even take the time to sit down and drink water. He directly picked up his pen and issued three edicts in succession.  In the first edict, Cao Cao, in the name of King Wei, requested the expansion of the army by 800,000 nationwide, and ordered generals at all levels to train these 800,000 new soldiers into an army within half a year.  In order to deal with the threat of the five newly established armies of the Northern Han Dynasty.  In the second edict, Cao Cao issued a recruitment order again, recruiting talents in the four states of the Central Plains, and slightly relaxed the recruitment standards, in order to form the backbone of the entire system in the shortest possible time.  The third edict is the recruitment of money and food.  In order to offset the deterrent effect of the five major armies of the Northern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao had to pay generous military salaries to his soldiers.  The money and food problems caused by this almost emptied the Wei State's treasury, leaving Cao Cao without even a penny left in his hands. Therefore, Cao Cao changed the rest and recuperation policy that he had insisted on implementing for several years and summoned Cheng.  Yu, Xun You and others formulated new taxation laws and established the most stringent taxation system since the founding of the Wei State.  After issuing three edicts.  Cao Cao also gave Yue Xi and Cao Xiu the task of reorganizing the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guard Army, requiring them to complete the formation task within half a year, and not to reduce the combat effectiveness of these two elite units due to the rush of time.  At least it cannot be lower than the combat effectiveness of the elite troops in the first phase.  In the next ten days, Cao Cao spent most of his time dealing with various military and political affairs in his palace hall. He rested for up to three hours a day and set an example by working hard on all aspects of the country that needed to be rectified.  During these ten days, Cao Cao unexpectedly discovered that his second son, Cao Pi, was far better than ordinary people in handling political affairs; and his fourth son, Cao Zhang, was very brave. Not only was he proficient in martial arts, but he also had the reputation of a famous general in the army.  style.  During a period when the country was extremely short of talents, Cao Cao immediately promoted his two sons exceptionally, and often gave them guidance when dealing with important military and political affairs. Sometimes, he even gave them some advice on less important matters.  Just leave it to them to do it. In the end, Cao Cao only needs to see whether he is satisfied with the result.  The rapid growth of his two sons gave Cao Cao the idea of ????discovering talents within the family. When it comes to the talents of the family, I am afraid that no family in the world can compare with the Cao family (including the Xiahou family), and the number of talents within the family  Talents and loyalty are always higher than those with foreign surnames. This is what Cao Cao has always said.?Proud of it.  Therefore, under Cao Cao's deliberate excavation, his other son Cao Zhi, nephew Cao Zhen, Xiahou Dun's son Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou Ba, Xia Houwei and other more than a dozen younger generation family members took advantage of the situation and quickly entered the  The leadership of the Cao Wei Group gradually took over part of the power and formed the second echelon of the Cao family, forming a perfect link with Cao Cao's generation.  Cao Cao spared no effort in cultivating his children. All children who had the potential to become leaders were carefully cultivated by Cao Cao.  At the same time, the descendants of these families did not disappoint Cao Cao. With Cao Pi and Cao Zhang as the core figures of the civil and military systems respectively, they united closely to assist Cao Cao in handling national affairs and shared many affairs for Cao Cao.  One more point should be mentioned here. Perhaps because Zhen Mi became Ao Lie's wife, or perhaps because they felt that the current situation was unfavorable to the Cao Wei regime, the brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi did not turn against each other like in history.  , Instead, they became close and worked together to help their common father, Cao Cao, handle government affairs, which made Cao Cao feel very gratified.  After working continuously for more than a month, Cao Cao felt extremely tired because he was no longer young. His old headache recurred again, and his splitting headache became worse day by day. He endured the pain and moved the country.  After the important matters were assigned, Cao Cao finally moved out of the main hall and returned to his dormitory to rest.  After taking the medicine for a few days, the headache was slightly reduced, but it was still not completely eliminated.  Cao Cao's pain was seen by his son Cao Pi.  Cao Pi was actually a very scheming person. He only wanted to one day inherit the mantle of his father, Cao Cao, and become the king of a country.  But in front of Cao Cao, he did not dare to reveal his true thoughts, and even did not dare to fully display his talents, so as not to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion.  In this regard, he was much better than his third brother Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi had no understanding of this aspect at all. He had to show off his talents no matter what he did. Although Cao Cao praised Cao Zhi's talent in words, he may not be so in his heart.  Think so.  At the beginning of Cao Cao's headache, Cao Pi was thinking about how to help his father relieve the pain. On the one hand, he sent people to look for famous doctors who specialized in treating headache; on the other hand, Cao Pi also focused on the good things about Cao Cao's life.  Come up.  Cao Cao was the most lustful person. Of course he couldn't pamper women when he had a splitting headache. Now that the headache had subsided a little and he had been busy with political affairs for a long time, he had long been unable to hold back his desires.  Cao Pi could also feel some of Cao Cao's thoughts, so Cao Pi secretly found Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua and prepared to dedicate Zhang Chunhua to Cao Cao.  When the Sima family was ransacked, Zhang Chunhua only survived. She fell into a coma due to the pain of losing her son. It was not until Xun You entered the house to check the situation of the house that he discovered that Zhang Chunhua was not dead.  It happened that Cao Pi had nothing to do and came over to watch the fun. When he saw Zhang Chunhua's beauty, he took Zhang Chunhua away in order to one day present her to Cao Cao and win his father's favor.  You should know that Cao Cao likes mature women like Zhang Chunhua the most.  Two days later, Cao Pi found an opportunity and brought Zhang Chunhua to Cao Cao's palace.  When Cao Cao saw Zhang Chunhua for the first time, the headache that had been bothering him for a long time was cured without medicine.  In addition, after tasting Zhang Chunhua's seductive and mature body, Cao Cao felt very happy. On the next day, he ordered Cao Pi to be crowned his son and moved into the east hall of the palace, officially becoming the leader of the second generation of the Cao family.  A man of great influence in political and military affairs.  Facing Cao Cao's reward, Cao Pi repaid his father by working harder. He replaced Cao Cao and became the busiest person in the Cao Wei regime. He dealt with national affairs in the East Palace all day long. With the help of a group of civil and military ministers, he quickly  He has straightened out all aspects of the matter, and although his approach to handling affairs is a bit green, it does not affect the final result.  Cao Cao's views on every matter were perfectly implemented.  With the efforts of two generations of the Cao family, as well as all civil and military officials in the Wei state, the Cao Wei regime gradually emerged from the shadow of turmoil, and internal and external troubles were resolved to a certain extent, forming a unified external front.  .  The Northern Han regime of Yin Yin and Ao Lie formed a rivalry.  At the same time, with the arrival of 800,000 new troops, Wei's national military power has become much stronger. Once the 800,000 new troops are trained into an army, coupled with the original army of nearly one million, Cao Cao will have peace.  Ao Lie has the capital to compete again.
