Cao Cao made Bai Feng the governor of Hanzhong not only because he wanted to make Bai Feng an official.
The biggest reason was that he wanted Bai Feng to stay away from the landowning households for the time being.
There were very few landowning households in Hanzhong County. Bai Feng could only do so much in Hanzhong County.
Xuchang County was full of undercurrents and was controlled by landowning households. Even if Bai Feng was talented, his hands and feet would be bound because of this.
This was not what Cao Cao wanted to see.
Moreover, Bai Feng had already made it clear that he would not go out to fight.
However, those that Bai Feng left behind, whether it was Deng Ai, Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, or Qin Liangyu, they were all first-class talents.
Cao Cao had seen these treasured generals with his own eyes in Bashu.
Ever since Bai Feng decided not to take the same path as before.
Li Cunxiao and the others had their restrictions lifted by Bai Feng. Their abilities were quickly discovered by the sharp-eyed Cao Cao.
Moreover, the identities of these generals given by the system were all Bai Feng's relatives or people close to him.
If he wanted to use these generals, he had to keep Bai Feng in check.
Naturally, Cao Cao was aware of this.
Since Bai Feng took the initiative to give up fighting, he also gave up the struggle for power.
Moreover, Bai Feng had taken out such a treasure.
The most appropriate way was to go to Hanzhong County and wait until he became the emperor to be made a marquis.
This idea was also what Bai Feng was thinking.
It was too tiring to be independent.
It was better to be a marquis and stabilize the Great Wei Dynasty.
However, Cao Cao was not willing to let Bai Feng take office now.
The food was not ripe yet.
Moreover, the current governor of Hanzhong County was Man Chong. The handover work had to be done well.
However, Man Chong was not a utilitarian.
When Cao Cao first went to Hanzhong, he already had this idea. He even specifically told Man Chong to take care of it temporarily.
Xu Chang was still the most favored place.
Man Chong was overjoyed when he learned that Bai Feng had taken office.
Although Man Chong had only met Bai Feng once, he was extremely respectful to Bai Feng.
If Bai Feng were to become the Governor of Hanzhong, he would definitely be able to make Hanzhong flourish.
Hanzhong was a place that military strategists would definitely fight for. The climate was mild and it was surrounded by mountains that could withstand the cold winds from the Western Liang.
Not only that, but the rainfall in Hanzhong was also very mild, neither too much nor too little.
It was very suitable for growing crops.
Bai Feng was actually quite pleased when he learned that he was going to be the governor of Hanzhong.
However, Bai Feng wanted to find Jiang Wei before he left.
Jiang Wei was a very talented person. If he was buried in Tianshui or tricked by Zhuge Liang, it would be a huge loss for him.
Moreover, Jiang Wei's ability was only above Deng Ai's.
Bai Feng had already seen Deng Ai's ability. Jiang Wei was definitely not inferior to him.
Although Bai Feng had retired behind the scenes, he still had to cultivate some of his own power in the imperial court.
Of course, Cao Cao also knew about this.
Not only did Cao Cao not object, but he was also extremely supportive of Bai Feng.
Bai Feng was the representative of the poor. He was the sharpest knife against the landowning households.
If Bai Feng retired now and there was no successor, it would be a bad thing for Cao Cao.
However, if he had trusted aides in the imperial court, he would definitely be able to restrict the landowning households.
The landowning households would be destroyed sooner or later.
Therefore, when Bai Feng mentioned that he wanted to find Jiang Wei, Beuyo, Cao Cao immediately sent people to Tianshui to find him.
Jiang Wei was relatively easy to find.
After all, Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Yao, was the Tianshui Gong Cao.
If he wanted to find Jiang Wei, he only needed to find his father.
However, Jiang Wei was really too young. He was even five or six years younger than Deng Ai.
In other words, the current Jiang Wei was only an eight or nine-year-old child.
However, Bai Feng did not mind this.
Not only did he not mind, but this matter was also beneficial to Bai Feng.
The younger one was, the easier it was to build a foundation.
Historically, most of Jiang Wei's strategies were taught by Zhuge Liang.
However, at that time, Jiang Wei was already in his twenties. He definitely did not learn things as quickly as he did when he was young.
Education had to start from a child's age.
However, what Bai Feng did not expect was that the news of his departure would spread to Cao Jie.
Cao Jie was sulking for a long time because of this. He even disappeared from Cao Cao's face.
Cao Cao suddenly felt like crying.
Cao Cao had long said that he wanted to betroth Cao Jie to Bai Feng, but now was not the time.
Now that the world was in turmoil and unstable, Bai Feng might have to send troops during the expedition.
Cao Cao did not want his daughter to be alone at home all day.
Moreover, Bai Feng was even busier after taking office in Hanzhong.
The climate in Hanzhong was also very different from that in Xuchang.
In short, Cao Cao was still very worried.
Moreover, the nobles had not been eliminated yet. If a marriage alliance were to happen, it would inevitably be seen by these nobles.
Thinking of this, he still had to wait until the current turbulent situation settled down.
Even so, Cao Jie was still unwilling to accept.
She understood Bai Feng and her father's concerns very well, but they still needed some time to ease.
It was not easy to wait until Bai Feng could stay in Xuchang for a period of time, but in the end, he left just like that. He could only stay for a month.
Bai Feng felt really guilty about this and tried his best to spend more time with Cao Jie during this period of time.
After all, it would be a long time before they could see each other again.
However, the next time they met, they might not be separated.
Anyways, Bai Feng had nothing to do during this period of time, so he spent most of his time at the military factory to see how the flintlock research was going.
He also wanted to see how the seeds in the ground were growing.
However, the seeds in the ground did not need Bai Feng to care much about them.
After all, it was time for them to bear fruit, and they only needed to water and wait.
Xuchang's climate meant that there were very few insects in the crops, and Cao Cao had also sent over 20 guards to help take care of them.
During this period of time, Bai Feng felt like he was on vacation.
However, the current Cao Cao was not relaxed at all.
The new weapons were created, and the effects were really shocking. This made Cao Cao eager to attack Red Cliff once more.
After all, the north had been totally calmed down.
If they wanted to fight, only Sun and Liu could do it.
However, be it guns or grenades, they needed time for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with them.
There was also the creation of armor, and the soldiers were fully equipped. All of this needed time.
If they wanted to conquer the south, they would have to wait for at least half a year.
Cao Cao did not like to fight unprepared wars.
Furthermore, whether or not they fought the war was still up to Cao Cao.
If they wanted to attack Red Cliff, they had to be really careful and ensure that nothing went wrong.
During this period of time, Cao Cao also needed to reorganize the nobles.
This was not an easy task.
However, with the support of the Xun Family, Cao Cao could finally take action.
The nobles were corrupt.
Capture!
Officials colluding with merchants, capture!
Colluding with the alien race, arrest!
