Cao Thief

Chapter 499
The army will move, and there will be many trivial matters.

Although Xun Yu solved most of the problems, Cao Cao still had to make some arrangements.For example, who controls Xudu's military power?For example, who should take care of various government affairs?There are so many things, it seems that there are not many, but it is extremely cumbersome to arrange.Fortunately, with Xia Houyuan's return from Shandong, the safety of Xudu can be guaranteed.

Xia Houyuan, General Baiwei...

After the processing was finished, it was too late.

Guo Jia was about to go back, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

He followed Cao Cao to the study in the back house, and saw that there seemed to be some wonderful changes in the furnishings in the study.

The previous couch and long case are gone, replaced by a pair of grand master chairs and a large book case half a person's height.

"This is a new thing that Youxue made in Hexi based on the furniture of Hu people.

At the beginning of spring, he sent someone to send a set, and there were [-] volumes of books collected by Duke Bojie back then.It is said that Zhaoji wrote it by heart.He asked people to buy some maidservants who could read and write in Xudu, saying that they would be given to Zhao Ji... Hehe, it was strange to say that Zhao Ji had been wandering for many years, but she refused to return to her homeland and chose to stay in Hexi. "

Cao Cao opened the chapter with a look of laughter.

At the end, he blinked, showing a 'you understand' expression.

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao probably wanted to stay with him to discuss matters related to Cao Peng.

But since Cao Cao didn't speak first, Guo Jia wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up.So he said with a smile: "A gifted scholar and a beautiful woman are the most beautiful things to talk about. You are full of talents, and Zhao Ji is very good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Together, it's normal to stay in Hexi."

"Hahaha, what Feng Xiao said won my heart."

After Cao Cao laughed, his face suddenly changed.

"Feng Xiao, have you heard any rumors recently?"

"Oh?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, a little uncertain, so he shook his head and said softly: "Recently, Jia is not feeling well, so she seldom pays attention to outside."

It's not that I don't care, it's that I'm in poor health!
Cao Cao smiled, "But I heard some sayings, saying that Cang Shu is smart, and I really like him, so he can be your son?"

Those slender eyes stared at Guo Jia like a falcon.

Guo Jia's heart moved, and he pretended to be surprised: "No way, Cang Shu is only eight years old, who would be so boring and talk about this?"

"But Zihuan believed it."

Cao Cao pressed on every step of the way.

Guo Jiadao: "Mr. Zihuan is old. If he continues to stay in Qi County, his vision will inevitably be narrow. It is also an opportunity to return to Xudu to fight. The battle of Hebei is coming soon, and it is the time for Zihuan to establish his achievements. I think it is very suitable."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing!
He wanted to play Guo Jia's mouth, but Guo Jia just didn't move closer.

He shook his head, "Feng Xiao, you know what I mean."

Guo Jia was silent for a moment...

He knew that this time he might not be able to avoid the past.So, after pondering for a while, Guo Jia raised his head and said seriously, "Sikong is at the height of his spring and autumn, so why rush to establish a heir?"

"It's not what I want, but I have to."

Cao Cao sighed, and said softly, "Since Ziyu passed away, people have been persuading me. But I can't make up my mind. Zihuan is calm, Zijian is talented, and Cangshu is smart. They are all good candidates. But the problem is , Zihuan's foundation is not stable, he has no merits, and it is difficult to convince the public; Zijian is good at talking, although he is talented, but he is not enough to be a celebrity. Cang Shu... is too young, but Ziwen is very brave. I I wanted to wait a few years to think about this, but now...

To do big things, you need to plan early.

If some things are not prepared, if they happen, wouldn't they be caught off guard?

Yuan Shao hesitated in the past, which caused chaos in Hebei. I need to plan early to avoid repeating the same mistakes. "

What Cao Cao said was very cryptic, but Guo Jia understood the meaning.

He is worried!

But what is he worried about?
When Cao Cao mentioned the Yuan family's sons, Guo Jia's heart moved.Reminiscent of Cao Cao mentioning Cao Peng before, suddenly enlightened.

Could it be that Cao Cao was worried about party disputes?
This is a big problem, and Guo Jia has to be careful.After pondering for a while, he said softly: "Master, Youxue..."

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly looked at Cao Cao with horror in his eyes.

"My lord, I have a plan to make my lord no worries."

"speak!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, "Today, my lord has taught you 36 tricks. Although you can only win battle tricks, but...

My lord, the enemy has been identified, but the friend has not yet been determined, so lead a friend to kill the enemy, and do not contribute by oneself, deduced by "loss".I don't know how? "

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and a bright light flashed across his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Ha, Feng Xiao was joking, I just said it casually, Feng Xiao doesn't have to take it to heart."

"Haha, Jiayi was joking."

"Then go back and rest earlier."

"Jia, leave."

Guo Jia stood up and left, while Cao Cao sat on the grand master's chair, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and fell into deep thought...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++
The wind in early spring is still chilly.

When Guo Jia walked out of the Sikong mansion, Ji Lingling shuddered, only to realize that his underwear was almost soaked.In my heart, I feel a little cold, but I can't help but feel a little excited.He could feel that the curse that imprisoned Cao Cao's ambition had loosened a bit.In fact, at this point, Cao Cao can be said to have achieved the general trend, and only waits for the north to be pacified.It's just that Cao Cao had been worried before.Now, his worries seem to have diminished somewhat.

However, Cao Cao seemed to be wary of Cao Peng.

Although Guo Jia didn't want to understand the ingenuity, he still noticed it...

I hope Youxue will not blame me!

He sighed secretly.

What I said to Cao Cao just now originated from the explanation of Cao Peng's "killing with a knife".Cao Peng, it's a knife!Who to kill?Cao Cao knew it, and he, Guo Fengxiao, knew it too...but at present, the time seems to be immature.

Only in this way can Cao Cao reduce his concerns about Cao Peng.

I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts in the future!

Guo Jia shook his head vigorously, and boarded the carriage parked outside Sikong Mansion.This incident must be forgotten, as if it never happened...

"Go to Yuxiu Tower!"

Following Guo Jia's order, the coachman agreed, and the whip cracked in the air, driving the carriage slowly.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++
Jian'an ninth year, February.

Cao Cao sent his troops to conquer Yecheng, and the war in Hebei was imminent.

At the same time, Cao Peng, who was far away in the west of Hexi, was wearing a slanted skirt and short jacket, barefoot, standing on the ridge of the field, supporting Cao Gongli.

The land in the Central Plains has already begun to be cultivated.

But Hexi has just thawed.After a winter of dormancy, the black land is finally about to be sown and cultivated.As the prefect of Hexi County, Cao Peng had to participate in the plowing ceremony.In fact, he also has some fields under his name, which are used as farmland.As the prefect of a county, he wants to open the first plow to encourage everyone to farm.

Two cattle stood quietly on the field ridge.

And Cao Peng held the whip in one hand and the plow in the other. Following a burst of cheers, he raised the whip to drive the cattle, and walked away with the plow in hand.

The sharp plowshare breaks through the land that has been sleeping all winter.

With a smell of earth, the air rushes towards the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

The people around Tianlong couldn't help cheering.Watching the black soil keep rolling, everyone smiled.

After walking a ridge, Cao Peng stopped and panted slightly.

Bu Luan and Guo Huan hurried forward to help, while Bu Zhi, the second in command of Hexi County, took over the plow from Cao Peng and continued to cultivate the land.Next, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Hao Zhao, Xia Houlan, and Pan Zhang, the officials of Hexi County, will come up one by one.After they finish plowing, it means that the farmland in Hexi has officially started.

The same ceremony, not only in Hongshui County.

Fengming Fort, Lian Fort, Hu Fort and Wu Fort all have such ceremonies.

Among them, Lianbao has the most arable land, because its county seat has been completed, and it can be regarded as an official investment.And Hongshui County, with the return of spring to the earth, is also preparing to resume work.Hubao and Fengmingbao need to start from scratch, while Wubao needs to be remodeled on the basis of Hongshuiji.In the whole of Hexi, there are now [-] hectares of arable land, which is far from meeting Cao Peng's requirements.

In Cao Peng's plan, by the end of the year, Hexi County must have [-] hectares of cultivated land.

However, there is no rush to plow the fields for a while, a large number of slaves will be based on the construction of cities, and then they will start to open up wasteland.Overall, Hexi County has a heavy task this year.If implemented according to the plan, the population can be increased to 40 in the coming year.This requires a slow time, and it requires the efforts of Cao Peng and others.

Taking the wet wipe from Bu Luan, Cao Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This farm work is harder than practicing martial arts.

Cao Peng was out of breath as soon as he ridged the field...

Cai Yan led Zhen Mi and stood in the crowd, watching Cao Peng's clumsy movements, couldn't help laughing.Zhen Mi also wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to.After all, she is still just a prisoner, and her identity is completely different from that of Cai Yan.From the panic when she was taken captive to Hexi at the beginning, to the gradual calm now, Zhen Mi is slowly getting used to it.

"Xiaoluan, Xiaohuan... In two years, this place will definitely become a bright pearl in Mobei, believe it or not."

Standing on the top of the field, Cao Peng was in high spirits, pointing to the field, with the spirit of pointing the country.

At this time, just as Pang Tong took over the plow, he accidentally fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

Bu Luan, Guo Huan and others couldn't help laughing.

And Cao Peng also shook his head, and said to Cao Zhang who was following him: "See, 36 lines, the number one in every line, it's not that simple to be an excellent mud leg."

"Sir, what is the champion?"

"Uh……"

Cao Peng suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

The title of champion seems to have not appeared in this era.He thought for a while, but did not open his mouth to explain, but pushed Cao Zhang, "Ziwen, you should go over and try, and let me see how good you are at farming?"

I seem to keep forgetting something?
But what exactly is it?

Just as Cao Peng was thinking, a war horse came galloping in the distance.

"Young Master, the report on the Battle of Hedong... Gao Gan led his troops to harass Hedong. General Wei Ji has sent troops to appease him. Please be careful, Young Master."
