Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 345: If you don’t have money for military expenses, how can you dominate the world?
This policy of farming was implemented in the five states.

With Xun Yu taking the lead, various aristocratic families also expressed their support.

It's just that they support it, but they are not very optimistic about it.

Are they all sergeants who don't train soldiers well enough to fight and come back to farm?

This won’t work!

It's just that Cao Ang took the lead in this matter, and Xun Yu expressed his support, so they could only make do with some help.

Soon, the matter of farming led by Cao Ang spread to the ears of various princes.

After Yuan Shao heard the news, he was happy for several days.

"It seems that my old friend really has a problem with food and grass, otherwise we wouldn't be able to let the sergeant farm the land."

Jushou on the side heard this and frowned and said: "My lord, I think this matter is not that simple. After all, Cao Ang asked us for gold before!"

When Guo Tu heard this, he hurriedly retorted: "I asked for gold before, I'm afraid it was because it would cost a lot to rebuild Luoyang, and we needed that gold to make up for the vacancy."

"Whatever the policy is about farming now, it must be because they have no money for military expenses. They can't pay military salaries, and they don't have food and grass, so they can only let the sergeants farm."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he smiled proudly: "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you have to rebuild Luoyang. Now it's better. If you don't have money for military expenses, what will you do to dominate the world?"

At this time, Yuan Shaozhi was very proud. He felt that although Cao Cao currently had a large territory, he no longer had the ability to compete in the world.

To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of fat meat, and you can take a bite at any time.

"In this case, let's deal with Gongsun Zan first. He has been competing with me for territory in the north. It is better to deal with him early, lest he finds an opportunity to take a bite of Cao Cao's fat and grow stronger."

Everyone had no objection to Yuan Shao's words.

They all believed that Cao Cao had exhausted his financial resources in order to rebuild Luoyang.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have been fighting for a long time over the territory of Youji and Jizhou.

Now that Yuan Shao has the advantage, he should continue to encroach on Gongsun Zan's territory and then capture it in one fell swoop.

As for the sergeants who need to guard against Cao Cao in the south, they can also mobilize some to attack Gongsun Zan in the north.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was in Youzhou.

After Gongsun Zan learned the news that Cao Cao had begun to let the sergeants work in the fields, his face became extremely ugly.

"What is this Cao Cao doing? The good soldiers don't let them go to war, but let them farm instead? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Originally, when Gongsun Zan was helpless in the face of Yuan Shao's encroachment, he wanted to ask Cao Cao for help.

So you're going to show me this?
At this time, Gongsun Zan, after lamenting that Cao Cao and Cao Ang were just showing up, decided to fight Yuan Shao to the death!
……

Yangzhou, Yuan Shu.

Since Yuan Shu obtained the dragon robe, he had people rush to make crowns, build palaces, and prepare to proclaim himself emperor.

After Yuan Shu got the news that Cao Cao was farming, he couldn't help but laugh: "This Cao Cao seems to be really poor. He actually asked the sergeants to farm."

"It seems that the land of his five states is only mediocre, not even half as good as mine, and less than half as good as my Yangzhou!"

After Yan Xiang heard this, he persuaded him and said: "My lord, considering the talents of Cao Cao and Cao Ang, they occupy the land of five states, so they should not be short of food. I am afraid there is fraud in this."

Yang Hong expressed a different opinion at this time: "Master Yan is overly worried. After all, this matter of reclaiming wasteland and letting the sergeants farm has been spread all over the world. How can there be any fraud?"

"I don't know what the scam is, but Cao Cao and his son have to guard against it!" Yan Xiang solemnly raised his hand to Yuan Shu. "Master Yan, you are getting old, so you must be cautious in everything you do!" Yang Hong came up and mocked Yan Xiang: "Now my lord, sitting in the richest place in the world, why are you afraid of Cao Cao and his son?"

"What's more, my lord is about to proclaim himself emperor. As long as he proclaims himself emperor and commands the world, Cao Cao and his son will be nothing more than playthings in my lord's hands."

After Yan Xiang heard this, he wanted to refute it.

But before he could speak, Yuan Shu waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Then Cao Cao is just a paper tiger now. It's nothing to worry about. Let's just let it go."

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu's appearance and couldn't help but sigh and said nothing more.

Yuan Huan, who was also one of Yuan Shu's three great advisers, was silent at this time.

When Yuan Shu was preparing to proclaim himself emperor, he planned to find a new home.

And he had no intention of persuading Yuan Shu, because he knew his compatriot too well, and no matter how much persuasion he tried to persuade him, it would not work.

But in this current situation, there is really no way to claim the title of emperor.

At this time, all the heroes are rising together. Who doesn’t want to be the emperor?Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, its majesty was still there, and all the heroes knew that whoever became emperor at this time would be a living target.

The princes would still be happy to see one less competitor for world domination.

As for Jingzhou Liu Biao and Xuzhou Tao Qian, they had no reaction.

After all, Liu Biao was relatively content with the status quo at this time.

Tao Qian, on the other hand, was troubled by Lu Bu and was naturally not in the mood to pay attention to what Cao Cao and Cao Ang were doing.

As for Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui became serious after learning about Cao Cao's farming.

"What is this Cao Cao doing?" Ma Teng frowned. He really couldn't figure out what this farming strategy meant.

Han Sui also looked helpless at this time: "Isn't this farming really as simple as letting the sergeants farm?"

"Who knows?" Ma Teng sighed helplessly. There was really nothing he could do now.

Li Jue and Guo Si were asked to come to join forces and take the initiative to attack, but they did not respond.

……

Li Jue and Guo Si became even more panicked after learning about Cao Cao and Cao Ang's farming strategy.

Guo Bang frowned and paced back and forth: "What do Cao Cao and Cao Ang mean? They want to start a war with us this autumn, but they don't train troops at this moment, but let the sergeants work in the fields?"

And Li Jue's face was also ugly and tense: "I'm afraid it's that boy Cao Ang who is planning to cause trouble again!"

Obviously at this time, Guo and Li were scared out of their wits by Cao Ang.

Just when various princes were speculating on the purpose of Cao Cao and Cao Ang, Cao Ang had already begun to take the next step.

In the backyard of Cao's house in Luoyang, Cao Ang was standing in front of a young man and asked: "Brother, how is this kind of improvement going?"

This young man is none other than Cao Ang's half-brother, Cao Shuo.

Cao Ang had previously given the task of improving seeds to his younger brother.

Now, it's time to see the results.
