He had originally wanted to go north to Hebei to find talents, but the imperial court had sent someone to issue an edict. This was really troublesome. However, I am still an official of the imperial court. I will become the emperor. Don't let me rebel before the Yellow Turban uprising. He had no choice but to turn back. However, when we arrived at Dunqiu, we found out that due to my outstanding achievements in Dunqiu, I was specially promoted to the position of a counselor of the imperial court.

My three pillar industries are thriving. But for this promotion, I still have to give a tip. This tip is not a small amount. That is, if I go to the imperial court, I will have to take care of the turnover costs of this business. Sigh…I was really born under the eaves and had no choice but to lower my head. Fortunately, my other two businesses are profitable. For this reason, I have made adjustments to my business after entering the capital to adapt to my new role.

It was time to stop the business interaction between the north and the south. Soon the war will start, I have to stop even if I don't stop. It's better to have a short pain than a long one. However, the road to buy horses in the Western Regions was absolutely endless. My subordinates had carefully prepared the wine and finally developed a special wine. It was a wine that was purer than the current grape wine. The moment this wine appeared, it immediately became popular. It was so popular that it could not be bought for 1,000 gold coins on the market. The secret gold mine is my main pillar, but I can't mine it on a large scale yet.

In these few years of the Dun Qiu Token, my money and food have been greatly enriched. With the help of money, my troops grew from five thousand tiger leopard cavalry to twelve thousand tiger leopard cavalry. There were two armies, each with 6,000 people. They were led by the Xiahou brothers. In order to strengthen the ability to guard the manor and also to attack cities in the future, I specially formed an infantry army. The Tiger Troop had 3,000 men and was now led by the Cao brothers. My Flying Dragon Guards already have 108 people, divided into 36 Heavenly Dragon Guards and 72 Earth Dragon Guards. Although the number of people was small, they had all gone through extremely strict selection and adopted the principle of quality over quantity. Therefore, all of them were experts.

Our group of people advanced all the way and finally rushed back to Dun Qiu. I saw a white-skinned, round-faced eunuch stomping around in my hall. I hurriedly ordered Zhang Long to get some gold, silver, and soft goods. I quickly stepped forward and said,"Father-in-law, it's been a long journey." I'm late. I've made you wait.”The eunuch sized me up and said,"You are Cao Cao." "I am!" I hurriedly replied. "Cao Cao, accept the decree!" The man snorted.”Then, he took the imperial edict from his servant and said. I hurriedly knelt down to receive the edict. It was nothing more than an outstanding achievement, promoted to counselor, ready for future use. He might as well stay here. However, he still had to thank her. The eunuch stepped forward and said with a fake smile,""Congratulations, Counselor Cao!" "You're too kind, father-in-law." You've had a hard journey. Men!" Zhang Long immediately gave her the gift. When the eunuch saw this, he immediately changed his appearance and smiled like a flower. I thought that this person had a bright future. It seemed that he would definitely be able to make it in this officialdom. "How could I?" the eunuch said. Lord Cao is an honest official. How can he do this?”I quickly said,"It's just a small token of appreciation. Please accept it." I haven't asked for your name, Eunuch.”"Aiya, Lord Cao is too polite. As servants, how can we have any respectable names?”"This is my Lord Guo Sheng."”I hastily saluted and said,"So it's the Middle Minister." This lowly official salutes." "Lord Cao is so understanding. Your future is limitless." Guo Sheng said.”Little brat, you still want it? How can I not know that you want money? I got up and ordered Zhang Long to give him another gift."In the future, I hope that Eunuch Cao will put in a good word for me in front of the Emperor and the other Eunuch.”Guo Sheng knew what was going on. He was an old hand in this field. "Sure, sure," he hurriedly said. I ordered someone to send Guo Sheng to his residence and let him enjoy himself. Before this kid left, he patted my shoulder and said,"Lord Cao's business is our business.”Then, this brat said to me," I heard that there was a plague in the Dunqiu area. We need to use the treasury to clean it up. I'll save this matter from trouble and report it to the higher-ups."”After saying that, he gave me a look and then returned to the capital.

After sending Guo Sheng off, Dian Wei said,""My lord, you are being too polite to this eunuch.”Seeing that everyone had such doubts, I thought to myself, It seems that the conflict between the scholar-bureaucrats and eunuchs in this period is very sharp. I stepped forward and said to everyone," Everyone, this Guo Sheng is the Ten Generals Attendant and holds great power. I am doing this for the sake of convenience in the future. You are not ashamed of this, but this will leave a lot of room for our future development. A real man could yield and stand up. Today's yield was for tomorrow's stretch. This plague is the benefit Guo Sheng gave us.”"Great insight, my lord," said the crowd in unison.”"I don't want to stay in the capital for long.”Tian Feng looked at me and said,"My lord, you mean…"”"Make friends with dignitaries and recruit talents," I said. However, I'm not too assured here.”Xia Hou stepped forward and said," Boss, you can go with peace of mind. We will definitely be fine here." Oh right, he was acting up again. We have to be careful and not let Boss down.”"Yuan Rang, don't be arrogant and impatient. You are the invincible general of my Cao family."”"I won't disappoint you, Boss."”

In order to ensure that the army and industries would not be delayed when I left, I made arrangements for my household affairs after I went to the capital. Tian Feng is resolute and resourceful, and he enforces the law strictly. I will appoint him to take charge of the internal and external affairs after I leave. Although Tian Feng hasn't followed me for a long time and isn't understood by others, I think that with his talent, everyone will be very impressed soon. Zhong Yao was in charge of the manor's business. This is an expert in internal affairs. I'm more at ease with my business in his hands. The Tiger Troop had been reorganized into the 1st Tiger Troop, the " Tiger Assault Troop ". The 2nd Tiger Troop was called the Tiger Troop Breaking Formation Troop. Cao Ren and Cao Hong led the First Army, while Gao Shun and Yu Jin led the Second Army. Each army had 3,000 men. After the reorganization, the army was trained by Xia Hou, who was appointed as the military adviser. I said to Xia Hou,"Mr. Ju is a genius of the world. You should consult him more. If there is a problem in the army, Mr. Tian can kill you."”"I'll definitely consult you, sir. I won't let you down."”I nodded slightly. Since Guo Sheng gave the order, I didn't hold back. I cleaned up all my 'achievements' here and gave some resources to the people.

Before leaving, I gathered everyone and said to them,"I'm going to the capital with Dian Wei and the Flying Dragon Guards. It's easier to do things with fewer people. As for the matters at home, where was Tian Feng?”"Your subordinate is here," said Tian Feng. I untied my sword and said,"This sword is the 'Snake Slaying' sword." Stay here. If anyone dares to disobey orders, you will use this sword to kill them.”Tian Feng was so excited. What did he mean? This is trust. I'm handing over everything in the family to you. This is an acknowledgment of your ability to complete this mission. A scholar would die for a confidant. Tian Feng raised his sword and calmed his mind. He said in a deep voice,"Don't worry, my lord. General Feng will not disappoint you.”
