My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 337 The Angry Cao Cao

Chang'an, the general's house.

Two stoves were burning, warming the cold house.

Cao Cao flipped through the materials handed in from various places, with a grim expression on his face.

"Why is the economy in various places so sluggish? How can the taxes paid at this point support the army to compete with Chu Feng?" Cao Cao frowned, slightly displeased.

"My lord, Xiliang is newly attached. The lord promised to exempt from taxes for one year. Hanzhong was not under the control of the lord earlier. In order to quickly control the lord, he also agreed to exempt from taxes."

"Nowadays, only millions of people can pay taxes." Xun Yu sighed, feeling like a clever woman can't cook without rice.

Cao Cao's face was dark. Although he knew that Xun Yu hadn't messed up, seeing the prosperity of the place Chu Feng governed made him envious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Hey, I'm the one who was anxious. It's just that Chu Feng's economy is an exaggeration. According to the report of the scouts, the people in Yangzhou are all wearing new clothes. They are full of food, and those who are rich can't do it."

Cao Cao was jealous and sighed.

"My lord, in order to develop the economy, Chu Feng has offended all the aristocratic families, but he has tens of millions of people as his backing. If my lord follows suit,"

"As soon as the lord leaves, I'm afraid there will be a family on the back who will pick up the lord's foundation, and they won't be able to follow suit. What's more, Chu Feng is a great talent, and he is destined to be extraordinary."

Xun Yu sighed with some admiration.

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao frowned slightly, not very obviously, but for the first time in Cao Cao's heart, he felt that his subordinates worshiped others on his side.

Guo Jia seemed to have noticed this, and immediately excused himself: "My lord, it is useless to mention these things. What we need to do now is to stabilize people's livelihood and resist the pressure, that's all!"

"Forget it, this is the only way the economy can go." Cao Cao nodded, waving his hands and not pursuing anything. It is impossible for his economy to have major changes in a short time.

"My lord, it's deep winter now, and it's time to make plans for entering Yizhou in the early spring. Some people in Yizhou have already been bought, and I think they can contribute to the victory of Yizhou."

Xun You added something with anticipation.

"Well, but Yizhou is not easy to fight. Its mountain roads are rugged and winding, and it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack." Cao Cao frowned. He was not very sure about this battle.

"My lord, even though that's the case, my lord represents the royal family. Liu Zhang's disobedience to the emperor's order is a rebellion, and most of his subordinates recognize the emperor."

Guo Jia explained with a light smile.

"Well, that's right!" Cao Cao nodded.

But at this moment, a scribe rushed over,

"My lord, there is an urgent matter from all ministries in Yangzhou." The scribe's face was blushing, and he opened his mouth after being beaten by Fengshuang.

"Quick, read!"

Cao Cao now wants to know every move of the Chu army the most.

"Returning to my lord, the Chu army held a military training review not long ago. There are a total of dozens of counties and towns, with a total of 700,000 people from small to large, all over Yangzhou."

Scribe was terrified when he recalled it.

"Hehe, it's just a group of children who have been training for more than a month, so why worry about it?" Cao Cao sneered, he thought it was some important information!

"My lord, it is precisely because these are just children that they are even more terrifying."

"It took Chu Feng just over a month to make these children obey orders, serve the country loyally, and have extraordinary aura. These children may not be as powerful as veterans, but there are 700,000 of them."

"This is just Yangzhou. If Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, etc. are all like this in the future, doesn't it mean that there are millions or even millions of brave warriors in Chu Feng's territory who are loyal to the king and serve the country?"

"At that time, who in the world can defeat Chu Feng? He can gather millions of troops at any time with a single order. Even if the front line is defeated, who can break into the hinterland?"

The more the scribe spoke, the more he trembled. He saw Chu Jun's appearance among so many children, and saw that no one could defeat Chu Feng. His sense of powerlessness was particularly obvious.

After hearing the scribe finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

The military training of 700,000 troops undoubtedly silenced everyone. Although it was only over a month, it was undeniable that Chu Feng could gather millions of troops with just one order.

"Are those people stupid?"

"Labour and management give them food, take them to eat, take them to drink, and give them shelter. They all fear me like a tiger and dare not let their children join the army."

"How can that word of Chu Feng attract nearly a million people? How can the people of the whole territory be convinced by Chu Feng's word? How capable is he!"

Cao Cao's annoying explosion, this Chu Feng made him tired.

All dynasties have never seen these idiots.

Everyone heard that Cao Cao was a little displeased, and they all shut up wisely.

"One million, one million troops, where did Chu Feng find so many resources to form such a student soldier? Is he really so rich? Is he training soldiers and teaching?"

Cao Cao paced back and forth, a little depressed.

"My lord, I've seen all the methods Chu Feng uses to govern the region, and I can't learn them. This person's ideas surpass ours by a thousand years, or even longer. What he does is too crazy."

Guo Jia answered with a sigh.

He has researched it specifically, but in the end he still didn't understand why Chu Feng was able to boost the economy, because he found that Chu Feng's economy is mainly to make people make money,

At the same time, the government will greatly increase employment,

This step alone, no prince can do.

Because letting the people make money is obviously a loss, and no prince can withstand such a loss, but Chu Feng did it, this person is simply a miracle.

"What do you think we should do now?" Cao Cao was slightly depressed, and asked the crowd.

"My lord, the strategic layout should not be changed. Yizhou must be taken first. Only by taking Yizhou can the lord and Yuan Shao have a chance of winning, otherwise there is absolutely no chance of winning."

Xun You said firmly,
He had said long ago that after taking Yizhou and developing for a period of time, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses would have at least 25 troops, and only the combination of infantry and cavalry would be able to fight.

"Did the rumors you spread before have any effect? ​​Has Liu Zhang formed an alliance with Chu Feng?" Cao Cao was so busy these days that he didn't pay attention to these trivial matters.
"Returning to my lord, Liu Zhang has been affected by rumors and rumors, and our people are blowing the wind, he is already wary of Fazheng and dare not form an alliance with Chu Feng."

"But I can't guarantee that he won't ask for help later!" Guo Jia quickly answered.

"Since we want to fight, we must win with one blow. Once we fall into a protracted war, Liu Zhang will definitely risk his life and death to let Chu Feng take over Yizhou. It will be troublesome then!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Hey, my lord, Chu Feng is nothing but mediocre, why bother to be so afraid, how about this, lord, if you give me [-] cavalry, I will definitely beat the Chu army to pieces."

Ma Chao, who didn't want to talk at first, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He felt that Cao Cao and his civil and martial arts were too timid. Chu Feng was a man but not a god, and he had long wanted to fight Chu Feng. Ma Chao had heard that Chu Feng was the strongest general in the Central Plains.

"Meng Qi, that Chu Feng is very human, don't be careless!" Cao Cao waved his hand. Although Ma Chao was brave, he didn't think he could match Chu Feng.

You know, this man successively killed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Hou, and Yan Liang. When the Jiangdong generals besieged him, several people were killed and the rest fled.
This person's combat strength can be called the ceiling of humanity.

It is estimated that only the rebirth of Overlord Xiang Yu can fight against him.

"My lord, why do you want to spoil your prestige with other people's aspirations, I, Ma Chao, would like to issue a military order." Ma Chao was upset, and he planned and planned every day after fighting a battle, but he didn't see any results.

"Meng Qi, Wuhuan's Tadun, he said the same thing as you back then, and he brought countless Wuhuan elites there, but he was frightened away by the monsters raised by Chu Feng,"

"The monster can shoot hundreds of meters and makes a strange noise, scaring the horses and retreating madly. Even the most elite knights are helpless. Does Meng Qi think that the Xiliang iron cavalry can resist it?"

Cao Cao didn't want to admit it, but Chu Feng's monster was indeed a headache.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Ma Chao had heard about this incident to some extent, and felt disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't find any good words to refute for a while, after all, the facts were there.

The war horse is afraid of the loud noise, which can't be helped.

"My lord, what General Meng Qi said may have some truth." Guo Jia's mouth curled up with a sneer, and he thought of something from it.

"How do you say that?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

"My lord, since our army intends to focus on Yizhou, why not raise a high profile and unite with Yuan Shao to make a decisive battle with Chu Feng in the beginning of spring. When the time comes, gather unused cavalry and a few infantry."

"In this way, the eyes of the world will inevitably converge,"

"For one thing, Liu Zhang of Yizhou can relax his vigilance,"

"Secondly, let Chu Feng of Yangzhou focus on the Central Plains."

"If Chu Feng sees through it and doesn't take it seriously, then my lord will unite with Yuan Shao to take over Yanzhou, the south bank of the Yellow River and other places, laying the foundation for the coalition forces to go south in the future."

"If Chu Feng increases his troops, then the Lord can use tens of thousands of cavalry to contain Chu Feng, thereby increasing his bargaining chip against Yizhou. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled up, with a bit of a smile on his face.

"Haha, great plan, great plan!" Cao Cao rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and applauded immediately, this move was considered a conspiracy, he used the advantage of the horses to force Chu Feng to mobilize troops,
So as to achieve their strategic goals in Yizhou!
If they don't transfer troops, they can even go to battle directly and swallow the soldiers and horses that Chu Feng deployed in Luoyang and other places.

"That's a good plan. Chu Feng's base camp is in Hefei, and the Central Plains is thousands of miles away. If he wants to travel to Luoyang, the layout of the Yellow River region needs time. The Chu army must be insufficient in strength."

Cheng Yu nodded, also agreeing with a smile.

"Feng Xiao's conspiracy directly hit Chu Feng's weakness. In this way, even if Chu Feng wanted to rush to help Yizhou, he would be powerless."

Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled lightly, with some praise.

"My lord, since Yang's plan has been decided, we might as well let the wind out to see how Chu Feng makes a decision. If he still wants to entrust Yizhou, the front line will definitely retreat."

"Otherwise, if he increases his troops to the front, Yizhou will definitely not be able to take care of them." Xun You also said with a smile.

"Okay, let's use this plan, but Chu Feng is still the great general of the Han Dynasty, if he declares war directly, will it be too abrupt?" Cao Cao asked.

Everyone hesitated a little. Although Cao Cao holds the emperor in his hand, it is okay to directly charge him with unfounded charges, but unfounded charges are unfounded after all.
They have to find a way to make the Yuzhong of the Han family hate Chu Feng,
"My lord, I really have a plan. Maybe I can make Chu Feng cast aside by the people of the world. My lord can even remove him from the position of general in one fell swoop, and unite with Yuan Shao to punish him!"

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Let's hear it!" Cao Cao asked.

Everyone also looked at Cheng Yu with some curiosity.

"My lord, you might as well slander Chu Feng as Dong Zhuo back then. Dong Zhuo not only killed the family, but also messed up the court and was cast aside by the people of the world."

Cheng Yuyi pointed out something.

"You mean to let Chu Feng mess up the court? But where did he get the chance?" Cao Cao frowned, with some hesitation.
But the key point is that Chu Feng is in Yangzhou!
"Hehe, my lord, if he doesn't have a chance, can't we create opportunities for him?" Cheng Yu smiled darkly: "The Son of Heaven heard that Yangzhou is rich, so he asked Empress Fu to investigate on his behalf. Isn't that reasonable?"

"At that time, the mouth will grow on us, and even if it is white, it will be black. Isn't it famous if we learn from it?"

"What's more, Lord Fushou has not been able to control it. This transfer can force the emperor to accept the daughter of the lord as his queen, so that he can control both the emperor and Chu Feng,"

"Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Cheng Yu chuckled lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, looking extremely bad.

"Haha, wonderful, very second."

"Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu, you are really vicious. As long as we wantonly exaggerate the empress's mother's respect, after arriving in Yangzhou, no matter what Chu Feng does, he will be charged with molesting the empress."

"In this way, all the foolish and loyal men will be angry, enough for Chu Feng to drink a pot." Cao Cao laughed loudly. In his opinion, this plan is absolutely impeccable.

"My lord, Shengming!" Everyone responded.

Obviously, they also think that this plan is feasible.

Not only did Fu Shou be replaced by his own people, but he could also add obstacles to Chu Feng, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, it's up to Chu Feng whether to add or not.

Xun Yu, who was next to him, hesitated for a while, but didn't say much.

"In this way, I will report this matter to His Majesty tomorrow morning, and His Majesty will make a decision. When the time comes to make a big announcement, Chu Feng will not have time to take care of it."

"Guo Jia, after this matter is settled, I will leave the rumors to you. Make sure everyone in the world knows about Chu Feng's ugly face. I will take this opportunity to defeat Chu Feng in one fell swoop."

Cao Cao clenched his fist and warned with fierce eyes.

"My lord, don't worry!" Guo Jia clasped his fists in response.

"Cheng Yu, you go to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao yourself, and discuss with him the matter of forming an alliance and going south. As soon as rumors come out, I will immediately abolish Chu Feng's position as General,"

"At that time, the commanders Cao Ren and Ma Chao will ride out of Tongguan, ready to attack the Chu army in Luoyang at any time, and put pressure on them. As for me, I will personally lead the army to capture Yizhou."

Cao Cao is full of confidence, and all the civil and military are eager to try.

They believed that even if Chu Feng survived this set of combined punches, he would have to make a choice. At the very least, if he didn't give up the Central Plains, he would have to give up Yizhou.

At that time, Cao Cao will earn blood no matter what.

"Promise!" Cao Ren and Ma Chao agreed.

Ma Chao was even more gearing up and said, "My lord, don't worry, if Chu Feng doesn't come, the Luoyang garrison will be severely defeated in the end, and let them know how powerful the Xiliang cavalry is."

"Yes," Cao Cao nodded,
But he doesn't like generals like Ma Chao very much.
He is too radical, or too ambitious, and Cao Cao has some reservations about using it.

Immediately, Cao Jun's strategy was optimized.
