Chapter 488 486. Cao Cao: If he doesn’t respond, he will go to jail directly (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
The road is naturally long, no matter who it is.

In Yecheng, Cao Cao received the news from Cao Pi and was quite satisfied with his son's behavior.

The price of the armor has been negotiated.

You can also find a way to get started with the method of iron smelting.

As for the most important steamship, he also agreed with Cao Pi's approach of waiting.

If you buy back a bunch of things that are not as good as others at a high price, then you might as well not buy them.

In the past few months, he has been busy dealing with political affairs in various places, which finally diluted some of the sadness in his heart.

This time, stabilizing the interior not only allowed him to eliminate some hidden dangers, but also bulged his pockets.

Of course, this part also decreased a lot with his reward, but he still earned it.

After getting rid of those restless people, he also recruited a group of remaining people who were already loyal to him, so that he could do things very smoothly.

All kinds of government orders will not be greatly hindered.

Sure enough, with military power in hand, life and death can be controlled.

He also knew the news that Jingzhou wanted to ask Liu Bei to temporarily take over as the state pastor.

He knew that if Liu Bei didn't agree at this time, he would definitely agree later, because that man's ambition was never smaller than that of Cao Cao.

Liu Bei pretended to be crazy and acted foolishly before, lowering his guard. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei just hid it too deeply.

Therefore, he is very sure that his future opponent will be Liu Bei.

However, he thought of Huang Yueying again and frowned. Will Liu Bei join forces with Chu Anjun?
Before he died, Guo Jia said that they must be divided and defeated, but there was no time to say who would separate and defeat whom, but from his understanding, he must see who is the leader and who is the deputy.

But someone as scheming as Liu Bei would not fall for the trap so easily.

Therefore, his countermeasures should not be too hasty.

Only by setting a good goal and breaking down what needs to be done into detailed steps can it be possible.

It's just that there is a shortage of people in hand.

But it was Sima Yi. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Here comes someone!"

"Prime Minister!"

"Go and recruit Sima Yi as a literary advisor." Cao Cao waved his hand.

The attendant was stunned. He had heard of this man.

"If he is still bedridden as before, let's arrest him and put him in jail. Anyway, Cao Cao's men are not short of this life."

"promise!"

A few years ago, someone recommended Sima Yi as the Sima Yi. After he heard about it, he wanted to call Sima Yi to serve in Sikong Mansion.

But the other party said that he had wind paralysis and was lying motionless on the bed, so he refused.

Now, he was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, a position above tens of millions of people, and his state of mind was different from that of previous years.

All the places in the north belong to him. Even if Chang'an is lost, he still has millions of people. How can the south compete with him?

Although Xiahou Dun asked him to be patient, he believed that excessive forbearance was not advisable.

As long as his spears are sharp and his armor is strong, he will march south!

Even if the opponent has powerful weapons such as steam ships, as long as they want to go ashore and attack the city, then the world of his northern soldiers will be his!

In this regard, Cao Cao was very confident.With the same equipment and weapons, his soldiers were much braver than those southern soldiers.

Therefore, he was only willing to wait for a year at most.

When the Sumai matures and he sends more people to buy military rations, this battle will come.

April.

Cao Cao finally saw Sima Yi and frowned slightly. This man actually looked like a wolf. However, he was not afraid and placed him casually. Without saying anything else, he asked him to retreat.

At this time, the attendant announced, "Prime Minister, the young master is back."

"Call him to come in." Not long after, Cao Pi entered the study and saw Sima Yi who had just exited the study. He was curious, he had never seen this person before.

"My child has met his father." Cao Pi saluted Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao saw his son who was tired of the journey, he thought that the first batch of one thousand sets of armor had followed Cao Pi to Yecheng, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Ziheng."

"I'm not working hard, I'm just worried about the soldiers." Cao Pi shook his head, with some worry on his face, "I went to Wu County, and I really felt Chu An's weapon firsthand."

"Oh?"

"Sun Quan has equipped two of those steamships, and their sailing speed is more than twice as fast as traditional building ships." Cao Pi sighed, "And the armor sold by the other side's trading company is actually made of fine iron. The child can imagine I don’t know how much manpower and material resources this will cost.”

Cao Cao was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but it never showed on his face.

Nowadays, Cao Pi is his eldest son, but the other party does not have the same pride as him, but is worried about the future?

"Since our army can purchase the benefits of armor, there is no need to worry." Cao Cao waved his hand, "As for the steamship, no matter how fast the ship is, as long as they get off the ship and land on the ground, isn't there no advantage? "

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Father is wise."

"Well, now that you have grown up, it's time to take on more responsibilities." Cao Cao said with emotion, "From tomorrow onwards, you will be appointed as the General of the Five Senses."

"Child, you will live up to your father." Cao Pi responded solemnly.

Among Cao Cao's many children, he is the only one who became an official!

His hard work for nearly three months was indeed not in vain!In this way, he can become Cao Cao's deputy and slowly show his strength.

"Well, the first thing Zihuan was responsible for after taking office was the iron smelting method in Jingzhou." Cao Cao gave the task again.

"The child must get the method of smelting iron for his father!"

"Okay, let's go and rest." Cao Cao smiled lightly.

When he sees Cao Pi, he will think of Cao Ang.

If Cao Ang were still here, he would have already shared many things for him.

But fortunately, Cao Pi escaped that time, otherwise he would have lost his two sons at once.

When he thought of this again, he thought of Zhang Xiu again, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

Cao Pi, on his side, walked out of the study and asked an attendant who the man he saw just now was. When he knew it was Sima Yi, he was a little surprised.

"Didn't this person pretend to be ill before?"

"The prime minister said that if he refused, he would be thrown into prison."

Cao Pi laughed and said, "It's quite interesting. I'll go and see it when I have time."

The attendant did not answer again.

Cao Pi didn't care. He returned to his residence and let his maid wash him.

This time when he went to Wu County, he really saw the power of Chu An's weapons, so what he told Cao Cao was true.

But he did not agree with what Cao Cao said.

Even if the Jingzhou soldiers want to attack the city and capture the territory, they have to go ashore, but with so many places in the north facing the vast sea, how can they defend all the places?
The opponent has steam ships, which have many advantages over them in transporting supplies and military rations.

As long as the other party opens an opening, they can occupy that place and harass them for a long time.

Therefore, if they do not have a real naval force, it will be difficult to deal with the enemy.

The next day.

Cao Pi prepared some simple gifts and went to Sima Yi's house.

He wanted to see what talents his father could forcefully recruit.

　Today's portion.

　　People are not feeling well.

　　These first.
