Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 381

"By the way..." Cao Cao suddenly remembered something when he was halfway through the meal, "Yan, you said that after the first lunar month, how about sending troops directly to attack Zhang Xiu?"

"Zhang Xiu sits in Nanyang and has [-] Xiliang iron cavalry. Later, he recruited thousands of soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and an army of [-]. Such a guy is our neighbor, and we must deal with it first..." Xun Yu After thinking about it, I also felt that it was time to send troops.

Last year, they only used troops against Lu Bu, and the key point was that they didn't get any benefits.Nanyang is the land of Longxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the same time, it communicates with Sizhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou. It is an important hub and a place that must be contested by military strategists. Such a strategic place must be fought!

"Speaking of which, don't you care about the navy?" Wang Yong suddenly asked, "Gan Ning led the crowd to vote, but the result was just setting up a few water villages by the Yellow River and building some ships. ..."

"The cost of the navy is very high, and the manufacture of ships is very expensive. Besides, it is impossible to find so many soldiers who are proficient in water. From the beginning, it will not be possible to form an army within a year or two..." Xun Yu complained directly stand up.

If it wasn't for dealing with Yuan Shao, there was no need to form a naval army at all.

"That's not to say, as long as the navy is complete, it is absolutely possible to attack Guanzhong along the waterway, and at the same time attack the coastal areas of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Xuzhou. If there is no navy to attack the Jiangnan area in the future, it will be very passive." Wang Wang Yong reminded.

Later, Cao Cao suffered from the lack of a navy, so he could only recruit the Jingzhou navy, and formed an army in a hurry. He couldn't grab Lukou, so he had to set up an army in Wulin on the opposite side. Soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.In addition, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun could not be trusted, which led to the killing of the two of them. If it was his own navy, would he still have this concern? !

"Well...you know, the court's finances are tight!" Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao, who nodded before complaining.Now that the lord has already nodded, the formation of the navy cannot be neglected.

"Yuan Shao didn't know that we formed a navy, so that Gan Ning could continue to be his Jinfan thief, plunder along Liyang and other places, hide in the water village after encountering the enemy, change the armor, etc. Just return to our soldiers." Wang Yong suggested.

"Will this anger Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao was worried.

"Yuan Shao is currently focusing on Gongsun Zan's side, and according to the information, I'm afraid it will end soon. At that time, she will dominate Hebei, and if she wants to expand, she can only go south! So, it's okay to add trouble to her!" Guo Jia thinks This plan works.

"That's how it is! Let Gan Ning go make a fuss!" Cao Cao didn't mean to be sorry for his best friend at all. Anyway, Jizhou is so rich, why didn't he go and loot it?
Jizhou was not that rich in the first place, but the last Majesty was from Hejian, Jizhou.Naturally, he wanted to take care of Jizhou, so during his reign, Jizhou's business routes were constantly revised, and the finances were also biased here, and finally this place became rich.

In other words, it is simply getting rich, so many people began to superstitiously believe in the saying that gods and ghosts live forever, so the Taiping religion has the soil to breed. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, nothing more than that.

Almost 12 years have passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although there is still turmoil, after more than ten years of recovery, coupled with the original background, it has quickly become rich again.Especially in the three prefectures of Hebei, the annual war horses and livestock trade in areas close to the Hu people are not only the main source of income for Wanshiwu, but the merchants who are attached to Wanshiwu naturally also make a lot of money.

After all, Wanshiwu itself is a business alliance, not a monopoly.

"The matter of using soldiers..." Cao Cao just remembered, and the topic seemed to be a little off.

"The subordinates have made preparations in the past few days, and strive to finish the work before the end of the year. By then, the first month will pass, and the troops can be dispatched immediately!" Xun Yu knew that he would be busy again this time.

"I'm here to help..." Guo Jia raised her hand. Her job is relatively leisurely. She only has the military position of a military officer offering wine. Most of the time, she basically has no actual position.

"Of course, if I am alone, I will definitely be exhausted...Fazheng and Chen Qun will also have to add more burdens!" Xun Yu complained directly, and of course he did not forget to count the two newcomers who had just become her deputy.

Needless to say, Chen Qun is very suitable to be a secretary, and can handle everything very well. Xun Yu even plans to train her to succeed her, at least to help herself, and be responsible for the memorial; He intends to formally accept him as an apprentice, but unfortunately he is not a return to ancient times, at most he can serve Cao Cao for 30 to [-] years in his position.

"This time I plan to conquer myself!" Cao Cao thought for a while, he had been in Xudu for a while, and his whole body seemed to be rusty.

"My lord, it's just such a little thief, just send a general over there, why bother?" Wang Yong's heart went "thump", Cao Cao wanted to conquer Zhang Xiu himself, is it possible that the battle of Wancheng is about to happen?
In this battle, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin fell, Dian Wei fell, and the guards were almost killed and injured. At the same time, several counties in Yingchuan fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu.So much so that it was not until November that they had time to recover the lost ground.

"..." Cao Cao just looked at Wang Yong and didn't say anything.

"My lord doesn't want to do the actual conquest, but I have no choice but to do so. Our main force is on guard against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. In other words, we can only go to attack Zhang Xiu. There are only two thousand guards who are really capable of fighting. " Xun Yu reminded.

That is to say, Xu Chu brought the villagers here in advance to form the Tiger Guard, and at the same time collected some Runan Yellow Turbans, otherwise it would be five hundred.In history, Cao Cao entered Wancheng with an army of only 500 people, and then he was very passive.

Wait a minute, the situation is much better than in history, so don't you need to worry so much?At least 2000 people are around, and Cao Ang will have problems if they don’t look at them. If Cao Ang doesn’t have problems, then Cao Wei shouldn’t have problems either... Wait, in this case, will there be Cao Wei?

Wang Yong looked at Cao Cao, and then at Liu Xie next to him. He thought maybe Cao Wei would not appear.At least, I don't want to see that day come...

"When the time comes, write a memorial and I'll use the seal!" Liu Xie seemed to sense Wang Yong's gaze, maybe he misunderstood his meaning, so he added a sentence leisurely.Originally, she had directly handed over this matter to the courtiers below for discussion.

"Indeed, we need to discuss it in the court, let's discuss it before the Chinese New Year!" Cao Cao also realized this.

"Well, be careful, my lord!" Wang Yong couldn't say anything, and he couldn't explain the occurrence and process of the Battle of Wancheng.

"Did you forget that...you are also going out with the army?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong strangely.

"Uh... this subordinate really forgot..." Wang Yong was speechless, as if he really had the identity of a guard.Meow meow meow?So, you might be in danger too? !

"Is there any dissatisfaction?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong with a displeased tone.

"How dare my subordinates!" Wang Yong replied quickly, thinking: That's good, at least many things can be avoided!

At the same time, I was also guessing what happened to Mrs. Zou. After all, Lao Cao was a woman, so Mrs. Zou couldn't be a man, right? !
　The battle of Wancheng is about to start. This does not allow Dian Wei and Wang Yong to confirm their relationship. Otherwise, the follow-up plot will be a little bit more advanced. Although there is no outline, there are still some ideas.
