Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

"Yuan Shao hasn't responded to my proposal for a long time. I don't know what Yuan Shao is thinking about?" Cao Cao asked with a slight frown.Sitting below him were two people, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu immediately cupped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "My lord, although Yuan Shao is a man of plan, he is greedy. We just promise that we will not have any interest in this matter, and Yuan Shao will definitely be tempted!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and then said rather unwillingly: "Then Bingzhou has completely changed under Chen Chu's governance for more than a year. The food has doubled compared with previous years. What's more rare is that the business The handicraft industry is unprecedentedly developed, and the output of steel is said to be hundreds of thousands of catties a month, which is almost equivalent to one-third of the world's output. I am really unwilling to hand over such a rich land to Yuan Shao!"

At this time, Guo Jia spoke.I saw Guo Jia saluted Cao Cao first with his fists clasped, and then said: "My lord, I agree with Cheng Yu's suggestion. My lord, don't be confused by the immediate interests. My lord is a generalist, and you should take a long-term view. If we don't make such a move at this time Concession, it is really difficult to get Yuan Shao to join our ranks, and without Yuan Shao's joining, our army will not be able to achieve our goal on our own. If we miss today's opportunity, in time, we are afraid that we will forever lose the opportunity to defeat the Northern Army !” [

"It is true that in the short term, it is thankless for us to give up all our interests to Yuan Shao, but in the long run, it is very beneficial to us. Who Yuan Shao is, the Lord should know. Soldiers, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao is dealt with. Bingzhou is only temporarily handed over to Yuan Shao."

Cheng Yu on the side couldn't help but nodded, then watched Cao Cao, waiting for Cao Cao's decision.

What Guo Jia said made Cao Cao suddenly feel enlightened, and Cao Cao couldn't help thinking: Yes!How can you be blinded by temporary interests!The only enemy worthy of my attention is Chen Chu. As long as Chen Chu is eliminated, the rest of the princes are nothing more than chickens and dogs!

"Feng Xiao's words made me suddenly enlightened! The current plan should be to eliminate Chen Chu!" Cao Cao made up his mind.

"Zhongde."

"My lord." Cheng Yu immediately straightened up and cupped his fists at Cao Cao in response.

Then Cao Cao said to him: "Send a quick horse to send an order to Wen Ruo of Julu, and tell him that as long as Yuan Shao can send troops, I, Cao Cao, will never want a copper coin from Bingzhou."

The Wen Ruo that Cao Cao spoke of was Xun Yu, the counselor under his command.At this time, he was lobbying Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to join the prefecture in Julu.

"Yes." Cheng Yu replied, Dang even wanted to get up and leave.

At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly said: "Zhongde wait a minute." Then he turned to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, Yuan Shao is competing with Han Fu for Jizhou at this time. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be killed." If you intend to attack Bingzhou together with us, you must have the will!"

At present, because Gongsun Zan attacked Youzhou from the north, Liu Yu's army had withdrawn from Jizhou and returned to his old lair to resist Gongsun Zan.Without the support of Liu Yu's army, Han Fu retreated steadily under the continuous attack of Yuan Shao's army, and had already retreated to Jizhou City. Yuan Shao's army had already surrounded Jizhou City.

However, although Yuan Shao has fully grasped the initiative on the battlefield, it is not an easy task to win Jizhou, which has a high city, a wide river, and sufficient food and grass, in a short period of time.

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.What Guo Jia said is indeed a problem. If Yuan Shao can't cooperate with his side to send troops in a short period of time, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to fight Bingzhou after this period of time.Because the Zhengbei Army had only experienced the battle in the cloud, the loss in all aspects was very serious, and the newly formed Bingzhou Army had limited combat effectiveness. At this time, the strength of the Zhengbei Army was at its weakest.If after this period of time, it will be much more difficult to fight Bingzhou when the North Army recovers.

"What good advice does Feng Xiao have?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia paused, and then said: "We can send troops to help Yuan Shao. I believe that with our help, Yuan Shao will be able to destroy Han Fu in a short time."

Cao Cao didn't express his opinion immediately, but bowed his head in thought

After getting up, Cao Cao raised his head and said to Guo Jia: "I understand Feng Xiao's meaning, this is indeed a method. Okay! Let's do it according to Feng Xiao's idea!" Although Cao Cao was very unwilling to let Yuan Shao take advantage of it again , but he understands that for the sake of the overall situation, this is a sacrifice that has to be made.

So Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu again: "Zhongde, add another item to Wen Ruo's biography later, asking him to tell Yuan Shao that in order to help him quell the riot, our army will soon send troops from Jibei to Qinghe."

"Yes, my lord." Cheng Yu promised, and then withdrew. [

Cao Cao sat on the main seat and didn't speak for a long time. Judging from his face, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Guo Jia understood why Cao Cao was in a bad mood.In fact, this is also human nature. I have worked hard, but in the end I have to hand over the benefits to others. This is really a very depressing thing.

So Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "My lord, there is no need to be too depressed. After our army takes Qinghe County and Gaotang, these two places don't have to be given to Yuan Shao."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Guo Jia smiled, and then explained: "These two places will be our reward for helping him to lay down the state. I believe Yuan Shao will not refuse such a request, and it will clear Yuan Shao's suspicion. After all, if we don't want anything , I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be restless. In addition, these two places, especially Qinghe, are wedged into the hinterland of Jizhou, and we can start from here to attack Jizhou at the right time."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and then he laughed loudly and said, "Feng Xiaozhen is my son-in-law! By doing this, we can not only gain the land of two counties, but also dispel Yuan Shao's suspicion, and set the stage for future actions in advance. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"

Following Cao Cao's bold laughter, Guo Jia also smiled lightly.

Next, Cao Cao exchanged opinions with Guo Jia on some daily matters, and then Cao Cao asked Guo Jia to go down to rest.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In late July, more than 1 Xianbei prisoners were escorted to Bingzhou.In Bingzhou, the more than 1 Xianbei captives were divided into three parts, one will be sent to the Huxiaoshan Iron Mine in Leping, the other will be sent to the Shangdang Iron Mine, and the third will be sent to the Pingyang Iron Mine Mountain.

The iron mine in Huxiao Mountain in Leping was discovered by Chen Chu after he exterminated the bandits in Huxiao Mountain in the northern part of Leping County a few years ago. This iron mine is very rich in reserves and of high quality. One of the three largest iron mines in hand.The other two large iron mines are Shangdang Iron Mine and Pingyang Iron Mine. Shangdang Iron Mine is located in Taihang Mountain, a hundred miles east of Shangdang City, near Huguan, while Pingyang Iron Mine is located in Shangdang The territory of Pingyang County in the county, so it is named Pingyang Iron Mine.The scale and quality of these two iron mines are no less than that of the Huxiaoshan Iron Mine.

At present, the ore output of these three mines has accounted for more than half of the entire Bingzhou iron ore output, and they are the main sources of iron ore raw materials.

These three iron mines not only have large reserves and high quality, but also the surrounding environment is very suitable for large-scale mining.However, due to limited manpower, these three iron ore mines have only used less than half of their production capacity.For this reason, Wang Gang, who was in charge of mining and smelting, approached Chen Chu more than once, hoping that Chen Chu could send him more manpower for mining.

It's not difficult to get enough people. Chen Chu only needs to issue a recruitment announcement, and enough people will apply.However, there is a problem here. Chen Chu's recruitment of people's power is not like the common practice in ancient times. Chen Chu will pay the migrant workers enough wages and will not force them to work excessively.To recruit enough manpower will require a huge sum of money, and the Beibei Army is currently in a very tight financial situation, so how can it spend a large amount of money to recruit migrant workers.So this matter has been dragged down.

It's all right now, the Beibei Army captured more than 1 Xianbei prisoners in the Battle of Yunzhong, and these can just be used for mining.The biggest advantage of using captives is that the cost is extremely low. Apart from giving them three meals a day, basically there is no need to pay anything, and the output

Extremely high, captives have no right to rest, and they can work continuously for a long time.

Of course, Chen Chu would never allow arbitrary beatings, scolding, or even killing of captives. These were all property, so how could he abuse them at will.

When Chen Chu decided to hand over the [-] captives to Wang Gang, he solemnly warned him, "Every captive must be registered, and their labor must be used rationally. It is strictly forbidden to beat and scold captives, let alone kill captives. If anyone dares to violate these prohibitions, I will definitely punish them severely!" Seeing Chen Chu's serious face, Wang Gang immediately knelt on the ground, expressing that he would closely obey the lord's orders.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The [-] captives were sent to the three places mentioned above by the North Army.

Along the way, the common people competed to watch this spectacular scene.Seeing the ferocious Xianbei people who once ravaged the northern counties, who were walking down the official road with their heads shrugged and dejected, everyone was very excited, and everyone hoped that One's own country is strong, and these escorted captives are the best manifestation of its strength.

"I heard that the Xianbei people are very vicious! Why do I think these Xianbei people don't seem to be very powerful?" said a fat middle-aged man next to the official road with some doubts. [

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a man who looked like a businessman answered immediately: "That's because they met the North Army. You may not know that at that time, the 40 iron cavalrymen of the North Army were facing [-] Xianbei soldiers." Although the army of the Northern Expedition Army was far less powerful than the Xianbei people, they were not afraid. It is said that the bloody battle was extremely horrific. The entire grassland was covered by hundreds of thousands of corpses, and blood donations gathered in low-lying places a lake."

The people around were excited and nervous.A young man couldn't help asking: "Then what happened later? Did the Northern Army win?"

The businessman raised his head, "Of course! How could the Beibei Army be defeated? In that battle, the Beibei Army was magnificent. Facing the Xianbei people who were several times their size, they just beat the Xianbei people to the point of losing their courage and losing their souls." But I heard that the loss of the Northern Army in that battle was extremely heavy, and it is said that not many people from the [-] army came back alive!" Speaking of this, the businessman couldn't help sighing, his face was full of sadness and admiration.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's mood was agitated.Although the businessman's words were simple, everyone seemed to feel the brutality of the bloody battle that took place in northern Xinjiang.

"The government's announcement said that the lord will hold a ceremony on August [-]st to place the bones of the fallen soldiers in the Zhonghun Pavilion. The government's announcement also said that the people are welcome to come and watch. I want to take a look.", Silent After a while, a commoner said solemnly.

Immediately, everyone joined in, expressing that they would also send the loyal souls of those fallen soldiers for a ride. ! ~!
