Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 138 Why can't Zhang Xiu be cut!Come tell me a reason!

In the government office, Cao Hong, who rushed back to return to his command, finally arrived in Xudu today. He wrote a military report on the situation of the previous garrison in Chang'an, and he also took advantage of the war and the peace of the pass, so he left three lieutenants to guard. Come back first to celebrate the new year.

The reconstruction period near Luoyang has come to an end. The materials used to rebuild the imperial palace have been removed, and then private houses are built. Although the city is far less glorious and prosperous than before, it still has some peaceful and revitalized atmosphere, which is a good thing .

As soon as Cao Hong came back, he immediately went to find Cao Chun. His attitude was very bad, and he was obviously very angry. They are brothers in the clan, so the relationship was naturally very good back then, even though they are each on the same side now, they will not forget the friendship back then.

Cao Chun kept making excuses all the way, and didn't want to have too much conflict with Cao Hong, because he did have some words, which made him miserable.

"I am stationed in Luoyang to fight against the princes outside the customs. It has been a year of hard work. You have done such a big thing in Luoyang?! Brother is now the prime minister?!"

Don't call me for meritorious service, right? !

"It's your bad idea!!"

Cao Hong is still angry to this day. If Cao Chun hadn't come to talk to him at that time...Beware of the invasion of the princes outside the pass.

Unexpectedly, it was very quiet outside the pass. Ma Teng and Han Sui were busy annexing the troops of the other princes and expanding their territory. The army raised horses and prepared to train the cavalry to garrison the Han Dynasty in Xiliang.

During this process, Cao Hong didn't do anything between Luoyang and Chang'an, except for clearing out a few bandits, only training the sergeants.

As a result, he was free enough to go fishing for a while, but he still didn't see any enemy attacks.

Since the Yi people in the longitudinal mountains have not come to plunder, there is no sign of harassing the people. Since Yufulo and Heishan were defeated together in Kuangting and captured by Bao Xin, there have been no other people in the territory to raid , which is a good thing.

But it is not a good thing for Cao Hong. The so-called ever-victorious division is sharpened by the flames of war. Only by constantly winning can the army be built up. You will be able to make great achievements in large-scale fierce battles.

He didn't have this kind of easy battle to suppress bandits, so he couldn't sharpen his morale, he could only maintain it by training, and this year, all of them were making meritorious service. Apart from him, many generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were well-known. On the contrary, he became a general defending the city in the west, and everything came from what Cao Chun said casually at the beginning.

"You can't blame me either." Cao Chun walked on the road with a bitter face and a helpless smile, "Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would still be called emperor in Shouchun?"

"I heard that your head was taken by Dian Wei?" Cao Hong stared, and said the heart-breaking words unceremoniously, which made Cao Chun's expression froze immediately, and he remembered some bad things. remember.

"Yuan Shu's head," Cao Chun corrected.

"How is Guo Yi?" Cao Hong asked straightforwardly, "Guo Mengyu, won't he make great achievements because of this, and now he's already three princes and nine ministers?"

"No, Meng Yu has already gone to Tuntian, and Xu Duwei and Tuntian Zhonglang are only granted the title of Marquis."

"Oh!"

Cao Hong was obviously much happier. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a cheerful smile, "Why did he pay back? He was demoted?! I remember that he was already a general and recruited the Miaodao Battalion?"

"That's it, I don't know," Cao Chun shook his head. He really didn't know the reason. He didn't know whether Guo Yi wanted to go or Cao Cao had other arrangements.

"Oh, forget it if you don't know. It's a pity for him. With such a great talent and learning, he should have been among the top three, but he is just a little younger." Cao Hong said with a frown, but his face kept smiling.

As they said that, the two entered the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cao was looking at a map, very focused and serious, while beside him, Xi Zhicai was talking about something, and kept clasping his hands, as if speaking sincerely.

The two walked forward talking and laughing. Cao Cao raised his head to take a look, and immediately waved his hands: "Zi Lian and Zi He came just in time. I'm having trouble making a decision about the expedition against the melting snow after the spring of next year. Come and have a look."

The two of them approached and saw that the map was rough, and there was no detailed marching location, but Zhang Ji's troops were marked in the north of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao pointed out, "I just got the military report here. It is Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, who is stationed with an army. There are [-] elite soldiers, or [-] to [-] soldiers. Liu Biao provides food and grass. What does this mean?"

He raised his head and asked, it was obvious that he was taking the school exam, Cao Hong immediately said: "That is to use Zhang Xiu as a shield to resist our footsteps going south."

"By the way," Cao Cao nodded, and smiled approvingly, "So, I intend to attack, but once attacked, Zhang Xiu may resist in order to survive, then Liu Biao can continue to make meritorious food in the rear."

"Among this matter, there is only one piece of news that can be used." Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "It is Zhang Ji, who died at the hands of Jingzhou soldiers, and Zhang Xiu also joined Liu Biao in order to keep his old troops alive. He is willing to do this. Watchdog of Jingzhou."

"Yes," Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and immediately slapped his hands on the table: "Since this is the case, it is more appropriate to send troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and then use the emperor's edict to surrender, so that Liu Biao's wish to raise troops in the north will come to naught. It is not appropriate at this time. To fight Jingzhou, it is best to be able to subdue this embroidery."

"Zhang Ji and I are also old acquaintances. He often gave advice during the tribute, but for some reason this man didn't want to return, but ran to Wancheng and died in Rangcheng."

Cao Cao puffed up his chest and thought for a long time, then smiled at Xi Zhicai: "How about, Zhicai, write a letter for me and send it to Zhangxiu in Wancheng, expressing my condolences for his uncle, and then write an edict , pursue Zhang Ji."

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands immediately, saying: "A clever plan, even if Zhang Xiu doesn't accept it, Liu Biao must doubt it, and even if Liu Biao doesn't doubt it, the gentry under his command will also be worried. Attacking the heart."

"Ah."

Cao Cao nodded indifferently, and didn't take praise seriously. After many years of marching, he was very familiar with these tricks. The emperor must have some effect, otherwise he might feel bored and worried in Yongle Palace.

Sometimes, it is necessary to let His Majesty do some meritorious service.

"By the way, what has Meng Yu been doing recently?"

Cao Cao asked suddenly, and Xi Zhi smiled and said, "I've already gone to the village. I guess it will take a few days to come back. I'm in a village. I said it was to see how the efforts I made back then. If possible, next year Not only can it stabilize food, but it can also increase the production of minced meat."

"Oh?" Cao Cao immediately raised his brows, "That's really a great achievement."

"Hmph, this kid is always so diligent, which is admirable. If it weren't for his kindness, I really want him to be a gentleman with five senses."

Cao Hong who was next to him immediately became unhappy when he heard this, and his face turned livid. At this time, Cao Cao noticed him, took a look at him and encouraged him, and said: "Zi Lian has learned from Meng Yu. Self-confident, still obsessed with learning and civil affairs, how many times have you seen such a person?"

"Among scholars, those who chase fame and wealth abound. Only Guo Yi is calm and calm, and does not forget his original intention of pleading for the people. It is this kind of person that makes people like him."

"Who doesn't like to make friends with such a noble person?"

"Yes, after a while, I will bring meat and wine to be friends with Meng Yu..." Cao Hong said impatiently, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his mood suddenly turned bad again.

Oh, it turned out that I didn't want it.

Gao Jie, why didn't you give me this official position?I don't want it for me, I am obsessed with leading troops to fight, so I am also noble!

"Come on, sit down," Cao Cao gave Cao Hong a deep look, and invited him to sit beside him.

He still has a lot of things to talk to him deeply, but fortunately this winter is still very long, there are at least ten more days to slowly change his situation.

……

Xu Du, Xu Tingli.

The elders and young adults in the village all gather here. There is a family on the mountainside who was selected by Guo Yi as an experiment last year to breed pigs.

Over the past year, the two pigs have hardly thought about foreign affairs. They just eat and sleep every day, and their food intake has increased greatly. It has been more than a year, and now they have weighed more than 400 catties.

In the past, the pigs were thin, and there was little fat on their bodies, probably less than three hundred, and the smell of the water after slaughter was extremely unpleasant.

Now when people come together to see these two pigs, they all believe what Guo Yi once said. After the pigs are castrated, they will become fatter, and each pig can increase by as much as a hundred catties.

Some varieties can even be close to two hundred catties, which is really visible to the naked eye.

"It seems that a person cannot live without a lifeline, otherwise he will be slaughtered."

Someone next to him immediately expressed emotion.

"Tsk, looking at a pig has given you something to gain?!" Someone immediately yelled, "It's outrageous, a pig can increase by a hundred catties, and if it is kept like this in the future, how much can it increase in the whole territory in a year?"

"Hundreds of thousands of catties of meat."

"It's far more than that! If there is a large amount of breeding next year, maybe the price of meat will go down, and the butchers will be too busy!!"

"If you want to say it, our Zhonglang will have a way, even he understands these things."

"Your Majesty once said that if you seek the source, all dharmas can be mastered! This is the truth! If you study in person, you will gain a lot of good thinking! You should drink less wine and walk more among the people, how can you get nothing."

Guo Yi, Dian Wei, and Zhuge Liang watched this matter from outside the fence, and they all looked very happy. It seems that this method is indeed useful, and it can be extended, and the increase in production next year will not be bad.

"I heard about it in the past, but I couldn't push it. There are so many butchers in the village pavilion. I saw it today. It's really amazing! Junhou, will it be difficult for you to go anywhere in the future? There will always be a way to stand up!" To make a contribution?"

Dian Wei is actually the one who is the least eloquent on weekdays, but today he can't help but praise a few words, it's really easy to imagine the harvest in the next year or two.

What a gratifying situation. When doing this last year, Dian Wei also said that Guo Yi was inhumane and cruelly killed livestock.

"Go back, you can report this matter, and then carry out this matter throughout the territory, like farming, so that many families can raise it proudly. In the coming year, everyone will have meat in their homes. Even if there is no meat, the price of minced meat will not be so expensive. At least once It can be eaten several times a year."

Guo Yi walked out of the family's house, said hello to the Shan family's poor family and the elders who came to watch, and then walked slowly all the way down.

After walking for a while, there were still many people watching from a distance, which made Guo Yi feel dumbfounded, "I'd better go back to the carriage and discuss it again. I always feel like I'm watching a dancer performance when they look at it like this."

"This is a good thing!" Zhuge Liang stared excitedly, "Who among the people of Xudu don't know the teacher's reputation? He has been diligent in political affairs for many years, and finally he has achieved great results. Now the teacher is more like a celebrity than a celebrity."

"Hmph, that's..." Guo Yi raised his proud chin, walked straight into the carriage, lay down lazily on the carriage, then remembered something, and suddenly sat up again, "Now it seems... The opportunity came, and I happened to be able to speak."

"what chance?!"

Zhuge Liang was at a loss. He didn't know what Guo Yi was talking about, and he couldn't think whether he thought of some possibility again.

Guo Yi smiled lightly, "After the winter this year, next year there will be news that Yuan Shao has acquired Bingzhou and Youzhou. Then he will have the land of the four states. There are some long-term plans, and the implementation must begin immediately."

"Now that Yuan Shu is destroyed, the Central Plains are settled and it is easy to raise troops. Therefore, when deciding on a strategy, one must think clearly whether to hoard and fight again, or to win a quick battle to dispel Yuan Shao's concerns. There are many military strategies that can be considered. I believe that The counselors on the side are also thinking about this at the moment, wishing to destroy our three states immediately, and then take all the world and unify the mountains and rivers."

"So this strategy has to be discussed, and it should still be discussed."

After Guo Yi thought about it, he knew that this strategy requires hard thinking and talking a lot in order to make some achievements.

It is difficult to settle within a day or two, so it may take a whole winter of persuasion to get a good result.

"Liang'er, can you tell us about the current situation?"

Guo Yi asked seriously.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "We should raise the people to wait for the battle, and let Yuan Shao attack first."

"Stupid! How could you have such an idea!!" Guo Yi suddenly snapped.

Zhuge Liang was startled, and he was confused on the spot. What's wrong? This is... did I say something wrong?All of a sudden, there was such a big fire.

[The disciple you reprimanded, the majesty is increasing, and the charm is increasing slightly]

comfortable.

Guo Yi's complexion changed, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you don't understand yet, so there's no need to say more."

Zhuge Liang: "???"

what's the situation?
……

In the evening, at the prime minister's mansion, Guo Yi returned after [-] days and reported the events in the village, and the results were widely announced, but each head increased by as much as a hundred catties, and the situation next year will be even better.

The army may be able to make more jerky instead of just bringing flatbread as dry food.

But Cao Cao was very confused after listening to Guo Yi's advice.

"Why?! You don't agree with me taking Wancheng!? After spring plowing next year, march south to take Wancheng. It's easy!"

Cao Cao immediately yelled at me sharply, his brows were all wrinkled, why don't you praise me? !
Zhicai immediately praised my clever plan!Why don't you praise me! ?You still come to speak!Why are you so busy! ?

In fact, Cao Cao was tired of listening to the praises of Zhicai and Guo Jia, but he seldom heard of Guo Yi. Today he is full of joy and waiting to hear.

As a result, his opinion was directly at odds with each other, why? !

"Why can't you cut Zhangxiu? Come on! Come on and listen to me!!!"
