Chapter 73 The Prime Minister Wants To Join Forces With Cao Xu To Gain Military Power

After retiring from the court, Wang Heng's expression was not very good.

"Father, we have suffered a big loss, so does Cao Xu stand with Emperor Qian?"

Emperor Qian suddenly helped Cao Xu take control of the military. It was normal for Wang Heng to be so suspicious.

If Cao Xu had not expressed his support for Emperor Qian, he did not believe that Emperor Qian would help him like this.

"not necessarily."

Wang Bo shook his head.

"Perhaps Emperor Qian deliberately made us think this way and caused us to conflict with Cao Xu.

Having said that, the seeds of doubt have been planted in Wang Bo's heart.

Could it be that because of his previous conflict with Cao Xu, he decided to side with Emperor Qian against him?

This time in the court, the Prime Minister's Mansion lost 40,000 troops without any bloodshed.

"How about I recruit 40,000 people now and hand them over to Cao Xu."

The Vermilion Bird Battalion and the Black Tortoise Battalion are both elites. The elites they have carefully cultivated, and handing over 40,000 people to Cao Xu at once is equivalent to cutting off flesh.

Recruiting soldiers is easy, but training an elite army requires a lot of time and money.

Wang Bo was a little moved when he heard Wang Heng's words, but he still shook his head after thinking about it.

"Doing this will offend Cao Xu. It is not appropriate for us to offend him now."

Wang Heng felt uncomfortable after hearing Wang Bo's words. Would the Prime Minister's Office be afraid of offending a Cao Xu?

Seemingly sensing Wang Heng's thoughts, Wang Bo said, "If you do this, Emperor Qian will not let it go."

"I will go to Prince Wei's Mansion again and talk to Prince Wei."

Cao Xu already has a strong man at the peak of Great Grandmaster beside him. If he gets another hundred thousand troops, he will really become a balanced person.

If he really sided with Emperor Qian, it might be a disaster for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, Cao Xu, who returned to Prince Wei's Mansion, was in a good mood.

When cranes and clams fight, the fisherman gains.

Cao Xu knew that Emperor Qian wanted to weaken the military power in the hands of the Prime Minister, and pitted Cao Xu against Prime Minister Wang Bo, so he gave him a big advantage.

But judging from the results, it is good for Cao Xu.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang Bo is here to visit."

"Wang Bo came just after I came back. This old guy came very quickly."

Cao Xu sneered. He could probably guess why Wang Bo came. It seemed that he couldn't sit still.

"Do you want to see him, Your Majesty?" The housekeeper came in towards Cao Xu.

"Invite him in."

The meeting was definitely necessary, and it was true that Cao Xu got the benefits, but he didn't want to be used as a gun for Emperor Qian.

"Prime Minister, why are you here in such a hurry?"

After Wang Bo came in, Cao Xu asked Wang Bo.

"I came here to ask if King Wei has reached any agreement with Emperor Qian?"

Wang Bo didn't talk in circles with Cao Xu and went straight to the point.

"If I say no, will the Prime Minister believe it?" Cao Xu asked.

"Believe it, why don't you believe it? I believe His Highness the King of Wei is a smart man.

Hearing Wang Bo's words, Cao Xu smiled meaningfully. If Wang Bo really believed it, he wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, King Wei, should understand that Emperor Qian cannot tolerate you. If I fall, Emperor Qian will be the next one to take action on you. You and I are inseparable."

Cao Xu did not refute Wang Bo's words.

Wang Bo's words are indeed correct. After all, I believe Emperor Qian still remembers the death of Chen Yongan.

If Wang Bo is really doomed, Emperor Yan's next target will definitely be him.

This time Emperor Qian allowed Cao Xu to gain such huge benefits mainly to deal with Wang Bo.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, it is most reliable for you and me to work together."

"The Prime Minister is right."

Cao Xu echoed.

Seeing Cao Xu agreeing, Wang Bo immediately asked: "I wonder if His Highness the King of Wei is willing to join forces with me? If you and I join forces, the world is under control."

"Prime Minister, Emperor Qian can't tolerate me, how can you tolerate me?" Cao Xu stared into Wang Bo's eyes.

"I am tolerant of people, so I can naturally tolerate His Highness the King of Wei."

Hearing Wang Bo's words, Cao Xu just wanted to laugh.

"Prime Minister, don't worry. I will not take sides easily. As for joining forces, we can discuss it later."

Wang Bo was a little disappointed when he heard this. Fortunately, he was sure that Cao Xu was not on the side of Emperor Qian, so he could rest assured.

"The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion will always be open to His Highness the King of Wei." "

After finishing speaking, Wang Bo stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, Wang Bo reminded Cao Xu: "Emperor Qian may not allow you to successfully control a hundred thousand troops. I hope His Highness the King of Wei will pay attention.

"If you encounter difficulties, you can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me. I will do my best to help King Wei."

After Wang Bo left, Cao Xu pondered slightly.

"These 100,000 soldiers and horses have been put into my mouth. How can they still escape from my mouth?"

Three days later, 20,000 soldiers and horses drawn from each of the three battalions of Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon have been dispatched to Cao Xu's command.

There are a total of 60,000 horses, and the remaining 40,000 people are allocated from the Daqian treasury for Cao Xu to recruit by himself.

At this time, all these 60,000 troops were stationed fifty miles north of the capital, not far from the Black Tortoise camp guarding the north.

"My subordinate Luo Hui pays homage to His Highness the King of Wei."

When Cao Xu came to the barracks, a general in armor saluted Cao Xu.

The other party was arranged by Emperor Qian and was Cao Xu's lieutenant.

Looking at the lieutenant who was arranged by Emperor Qian, Cao Xu naturally couldn't trust him.

"General Luo, I will not stay in the military camp often in the future."

After Cao Xu finished speaking, Luo Hui remained calm on the surface but secretly happy in his heart.

When His Majesty sent him to be the deputy general of the King of Wei, he told him that as a prince, Cao Xu might not be able to endure the hardships in the household.

He is nominally Cao Xu's deputy general, but in fact he is like the commander-in-chief.

This really makes His Majesty right.

"This is my king's confidant Gao Shun. From now on, he will act on my behalf in the army. Seeing him in the army is like meeting me.

Cao Xu pointed at Gao Shun behind him.

Luo Hui glanced at Gao Shun, who looked solemn and unsmiling, and the secret joy in his heart disappeared.

What does Cao Xu's words mean? Although he is not in the army, he has a confidant here to suppress him.

"I've met General Gao."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Luo Hui still said hello to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun nodded and said nothing.

Seeing this, Luo Hui felt very unhappy. Gao Shun was a little too cold. Do you really think that with Cao Xu's backing, you could not give him face?

"These 60,000 people are from Azure Dragon Camp, Vermilion Bird Camp and White Tiger Camp. I plan to break them up and reorganize them.

Cao Xu said.

The first step is to break up the marks on them and keep the original marks on them. How does Cao Xu make them surrender to him?

He didn't want them to think about Azure Dragon Camp, Vermilion Bird Camp, or White Tiger Camp in the future.

"General Luo, do you have any objections?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Xu asked Luo Hui.

"My subordinate has no objection."

Luo Hui agreed to the disbandment and reorganization. He was originally the deputy general of the Azure Dragon Battalion. Even if the people transferred from the Azure Dragon Battalion were to be disbanded and reorganized, they would still obey his orders.

He can even promote the soldiers of the original Azure Dragon battalion to become officers to control the people of the other two battalions to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty.

His Majesty Qianhuang specially sent him here, and it was not as simple as serving as Cao Xu's deputy general. In fact, Qianhuang hoped that this army would listen to Cao Xu in name but actually listen to him.

"Strength is the most important thing in the army. I will hold a big competition to promote officers based on their strength. All the original officers will be restored to the status of ordinary soldiers."

Luo Hui's expression changed.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, isn't this bad? It's unfair to officers who have held official positions before."

"Are you questioning my king's decision?"

"This subordinate is not questioning His Highness King Wei, I just feel that something is wrong.

"You said that my king's decision was inappropriate. Isn't that questioning? You are so bold. You dare to question my king."

Cao Xu looked at Luo Hui with cold eyes.

"Dian Wei and Xu Chu were taken to the school grounds and beaten with twenty military sticks to serve as a warning to others."

At this moment, Luo Hui understood that Cao Xu wanted to kill chickens and scare monkeys to establish prestige.

Even if he hadn't questioned Cao Xu's decision, Xu would have found other reasons to deal with him.

He was angry.

However, when Dian Wei and Xu Chu caught him, he had no strength to resist.

At the school ground, where soldiers train, 60,000 people are waiting for Cao Xu's review.

Cao Xu walked in front and stood on the general stage.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu suppressed Luo Hui. To be honest, letting Dian Wei and Xu Chu suppress him was enough to make him boast for a lifetime.

From now on, I can say that I was captured by two powerful men at the pinnacle of the Great Grandmaster, and there is no shame in telling it.

"Isn't that General Luo?"

"Why was General Luo captured?"

The people who were transferred from the Azure Dragon camp changed their expressions when they saw Luo Hui being pressed down and kneeling on the general ordering platform.

"Captain Zhao, do you know what's going on?"

"Not sure."

Before they could figure it out, Luo Hui was already pinned to the ground, and Xu directly hit him with a military stick.

Luo Hui also wanted to use True Qi to resist, but Xu Chu's stick directly scattered Luo Hui's True Qi.

A stick fell and hit him so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Xu Chu finished hitting twenty army sticks with an expressionless face, and Luo Hui, who was at the peak of his strength, had already passed out.

The place where he was beaten was bloody and bloody. Even if Martial Artist's physique and recovery ability were very strong, it would take at least a month to recover.

"I am King Cao Xu of Wei, General Pingbei, your commander-in-chief."

Cao Xu glanced at everyone.

"No matter where you were from before, you will all be my king's people from now on, and you will share weal and woe with me."

"Your Highness, King Wei, may I ask why General Luo was beaten with a military stick?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice sounded.

"Who are you?" Cao Xu glanced at the person who stood up to question.

"I am Zhao Ying, the captain of the Azure Dragon Battalion. Your Highness, King Wei, struck General Luo with his military stick for no reason. If you cannot give a reasonable explanation, we will not accept it."

"Okay, very good. You asked Luo Hui why he was beaten with a military stick, right? That's a good question. You won't be allowed to ask again in the next life. Dian Wei will give him a good time."

Dian Wei took the order and immediately took out a small halberd from his waist and threw it. The small halberd instantly pierced the opponent's throat and the body fell to the ground.

"Anyone else wants to ask? If so, come with him on the road."

Cao Xu looked in the direction of the corpse of the captain named Zhao Ying.

For a moment, no one dared to say anything, and even took a few steps back.

This King of Wei killed him whenever he wanted. Even Luo Hui's close confidant did not dare to stand up at this time.

"`~I don't like people questioning me very much, I hope you remember it."

"As long as you are obedient in this king's army, those who are disobedient should prepare their own coffins.

"If anyone else is dissatisfied with this king, they can stand up now."

Cao Xu really hopes that a few guys who are not afraid of death will come forward. What he needs to do most now is to establish his authority.

After all, these people are different from the new recruits. They are all veterans with a solid foundation. They must be feared first before they will be obedient.

It is best to use blood to establish authority.

Facts prove that those who are not afraid of death still occupy less

Countless people, at least now there is no one who stands up to provoke Cao Xu knowing that he will die.

"Next, Gao Shun will take charge of you instead of me. He will formulate new military orders, and anyone who disobeys them will be killed."

"The rest is up to you." Cao Xu said to Gao Shun.

"Gao Shun will not let my lord down."

Gao Shun was extremely solemn.

Letting him take charge of training the 60,000 troops is the greatest trust placed in him. How could he be disappointed?

In fact, Cao Xu asked Gao Shun to take charge of the army for him, mainly because he had no other candidates.

If Guan Yu is still with Cao Xu, he can ask Guan Yu to come, but Guan Yu has been sent out by Cao Xu to recruit troops.

After all, he never thought that he would get such a big deal.

But now that Guan Yu has almost established himself in Youzhou, it would be a loss to let him come back.

Gao Shun's ability is not bad either. He can train out of the trapped camp, which shows that his troop training ability is not bad. If he can train his military command skills, he can barely control the ten-party army.

At least better than Cao Xu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu can serve as bodyguards and strong generals who charge into battle, but it is really not possible for them to serve as commanders.

Cao Xu believes in professionalism and professionalism. Gao Shun's command of an army of 100,000 people is slightly insufficient, but he can still be regarded as a professional.

Anyway, there is no war at the moment, so Gao Shun's ability is enough.

Cao Xu didn't stay in the military camp for too long. He really didn't want to suffer in the military camp.

After Cao Xu left, Gao Shun dispersed the 60,000 people according to Cao Xu's instructions (Zhao Qian), and then announced that there would be a big competition in the next few days.

The original corps commanders, Shi Chang and Du Bo were cancelled, and new corps commanders, Shi Chang and Du Bo were selected based on their strength.

The corps commander is the lowest-ranking officer. There are five officers in a corps, and there is a corps commander in a corps of ten. The corps commander is the equivalent of a centurion. In fact, there are also Dubos who are in charge of hundreds of people.

Further up is the captain, a middle-level officer. This Cao Xu told Gao Shun to stay put for the time being and to replace him with one of his own later.

After all, now, except for the eight hundred trapped camp brought by Gao Shun, there are no one of our own in the army at all.

However, after this blood transformation, some of the newly appointed low-level officers should become Cao Xu's cronies.

This is also the reason why Cao Xu holds a big competition. After establishing power, it is time to show kindness. Paying equal attention to kindness and power is the only way to control his subordinates.

For those newly appointed officers, it was a blessing that Cao Xu allowed them to take over.

Don't underestimate those low-level officers. If you master those low-level officers, you can completely control the entire army.

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Just like Luo Hui said, if it is unfair to the original officers, trouble will inevitably arise. "Those original officers will definitely not be convinced by Qi Chun.

When Gao Shun announced it, the original officers immediately objected, even those captains who would not be replaced for the time being.

Because many officers were promoted by them and have paid tribute to them.

If all those they promoted are removed, whoever still respects them in the future will naturally stand up and oppose if their interests are affected.

Gao Shun was not polite to those who objected, and arrested them all for disrupting order in the army.

It's not like they didn't think about joining forces to resist and start a riot, but Cao Xu left Xu Zhu behind.

Anyone who dared to resist would be killed mercilessly by Xu Qing and Zhen's camp.

Xu Chu killed a hundred enemies with one blow and stunned the remaining people to death. Now no one dared to object, let alone stir up trouble. .
