Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 411 Stopping Cao with Law (Second Change)

Hearing this, Han Yan was a little worried and said: "My lord, in order to recover the two ethnic groups, implement the Eight Banners, build cities on grasslands, increase population, and prosper business, the treasury has gradually run out. If it weren't for the wealth of Goguryeo and the two ethnic groups, As well as the efforts of the Zhen family, the Hong family and other big families, it is estimated that they will not be able to sustain it. If we send troops to conquer at this time, it will really be detrimental to the development of my Dayan."

Yuan Xi frowned. Of course he knew the current situation of Dayan. The stall was huge, and money was needed in every aspect. Just for the population reward, a whole hundred thousand gold was spent as a preparation, but if it was because of this, If you don't do anything and let Cao Cao grow bigger out of thin air, the consequences will be even more serious.

Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about Shang Shuling. It's really not the time for my Dayan to send troops. Not to mention other things, there are 31 people in Goguryeo. , leading to rebellion, in order to ensure that it will always be the support place of my Dayan and the conquest of the four Hans, another 73 elite soldiers have been transferred there, and 20 people are occupied here, and the population of the Xiongnu and Xianbei is even greater. It is as high as 25, which has dragged down my 30 army, the main force of the three legions, and the Wuhuan Six Banners, and they are not Wuhuan. If the Eight Banners are to be fully implemented, it will take a lot longer. , My Dayan has at least [-] troops that cannot move, plus guards from all over the country, and guarding the royal city, at least [-], this force has already accounted for half of my Dayan army, if you start a war now, if something goes wrong, It's extremely dangerous to send no reinforcements, so I don't recommend starting a formal war with Cao Cao now."

"Military division, if our army does not send troops to attack Cao Cao, Hanzhong will be in danger!" Jiang Wan said seriously.

"Haha, why must our army send troops? Your Majesty has deployed the world. There are thirteen prefectures in the Han Dynasty. Except for me, Dayan, every prefecture has talents stationed there. Fu Gan from Liangzhou, Ma Liang from Jingzhou, Chen Su from Xuzhou, and Tao from Jiangdong. Dan, as well as Fazheng in Yizhou, now is their chance to perform," Li Ru laughed loudly.

Yuan Xi's face was condensed, and he said: "Your Excellency, you should know that Gu arranged them back, more as a secret agent, to lay the foundation for our army to recover the states in the future, and now they are under the help of Dayan. , the status is improving, but it is far from becoming an important minister who can influence the states."

"Your Majesty, if it's talents from other states, it's probably a little bit worse, but if it's Fa Xiaozhi, it's absolutely no problem. In the big test that day, Kong Ming, Yu Liang, and Fa Zheng were among the top three. Needless to say, Kong Ming has nothing to do with military affairs and internal affairs. If you don't know anything, you know everything, even if you give him the right minister as a minister immediately, there is probably no problem at all," Li Ru strongly praised.

"The left prime minister is too much." Zhuge Liang immediately said modestly.

Li Ru smiled and said: "As for Yu Liang, although he is not as good as Kong Ming, he still takes care of the whole Goguryeo properly. The [-] mindings were settled properly within ten days, and he was even in Goguryeo. The implementation of the population plan, the promotion of the Chinese language, the calm and decisive handling of things, gentle and yet ruthless, Jia Dudu has already sent letters of praise three times, and Fazheng was the one with the best military strategy among the three of them back then, and the minister also chatted with him However, at this moment, it is estimated that he is already preparing how to send troops in Shuzhong to help Zhang Lu and resist Cao Cao."

"Hahaha" Hearing this, Yuan Xi felt much relieved, nodded and said: "Yes, I almost ignored Xiaozhi's ability, so I sent a letter to him immediately, asking him to find a way to get Liu Zhang, a soft bastard, to send troops. I will also take care of it.”

"promise!"

"Also, tell him to pay attention to safety," Yuan Xi said seriously.

"I understand," Li Ru replied with a smile.

"My lord, in fact, this is just defense. If we can solve one person, we can probably use defense as offense." Tian Feng suddenly laughed.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Gu knows who the right minister is talking about, and I admire him for his loyalty, profoundness, and ambition to help the people, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to! I have given the position of Jiuqing."

"My lord, the reason why he hasn't said anything yet is not because the king is not strong enough. The king's strength is already superior to the heroes. The heroes can only defend, but have no counterattack power. As a result, they have not made a decision for a long time. I guess they are still worried about the future, or the chips. It's not enough, the king might as well make it more important, if he can get him, Xuzhou can be settled, there is a full 30 dan of Cao Cao's grain and grass there, to guard against my big swallow" Tian Feng laughed.

After Yuan Xi pondered for a while, he said seriously: "Let Gu Zai think about this matter carefully."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Tian Feng clasped his fists and said.

Yuan Xi put this matter aside for the time being, and said, "Admiral, in addition to notifying Xiaozhi, Ma Liangna also needs to inform that Jingzhou is more important than Yizhou. In addition, Gu decided to send Fei Yi there as well. He is also from Jingzhou. , and good at using the art of war, his character is loyal and straightforward, and he loves him very much. Cao Cao's main target is estimated to be Jingzhou, and Ma Liang alone may not be enough."

"promise!"

"Okay, then go down and make arrangements immediately! We must stop this Cao Sikong from expanding his strength again." Yuan Xi waved his hand.

"promise!"

However, this time it was obvious that Cao Cao was more fully prepared than Yuan Xi, or because of the distance, many things were hidden.

Only two days later, an astonishing news reached Yuan Xi's ears.

"What, Yangping Pass is lost?" Yuan Xi said in a cold tone, Yangping Pass is the gate of Hanzhong, if he loses him, Hanzhong will be over.

"Really, it turns out that Cao Cao had already taken back Yang Song, the head of Hanzhong. Yang Song's younger brother, Yang Bai, was the general of Yang Pingguan. Before Zhang Lu's younger brother, Zhang Wei, he surrendered in Kaicheng. Zhang Wei didn't investigate for a while, and was directly beaten by Guan Yu. In an ambush, the [-] army lost as much as [-], and he was almost killed. Now Guan Yu has sent his troops to Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, and the situation is extremely critical," Li Ru said solemnly.

After Yuan Xi was silent for a while, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "See, this is Cao Sikong! You thought he was soft, but in fact he was tough? Before Guandu, he had never been defeated, and this time he chose the right time." , did enough in the early stage!"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to praise Cao Cao," Li Ru shook his head helplessly.

"Military Master, I, Dayan, can't do anything now, I can only leave everything to Xiaozhi. Hanzhong will fall, and Shuzhong will be shocked. Even if Liu Zhang is stupid, he will not abandon his foundation. As long as he guards the Jiange, he can still completely stop it." , and it is even possible to counterattack and regain Hanzhong, it all depends on Xiaozhi's ability," Yuan Xi said expectantly.

Li Ru nodded, this is indeed the only way to do it now, after all, the distance is too far.

"However, we can't make Cao Cao too comfortable. Order Yuan Ping and Gao Lan to move a little bit and walk around. At least half of Cao Cao's troops will be involved, so as to reduce some burdens for Xiaozhi," Yuan Xi ordered.

"No!" Li Ru replied.
