Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 625 A Confidential Letter From Yuan Shu's Former Department

If the original history is changed, there is actually nothing to worry about. Even if Yuan Shao gets Youzhou, it will still be a riddled Youzhou.A large number of people need to settle down, the key is the lack of food.

At this time, it will take Yuan Shao one or two years to help the victims and restore the people's livelihood, and he can't even gather the rations for the south... However, this is the biggest problem. Since the world already has high-yield crops in advance, although there are still some problems in promoting them, Yuan Shao There shouldn't be such a shortage of military rations!
It is hard to say whether he will take advantage of the opportunity of eliminating Gongsun Zan to attack Cao Cao with his army returning from a great victory.

"Unfortunately, this is not a game. Otherwise, everyone will know that the longer the expedition, the more serious the morale drop will be. If the morale is lower than [-]%, there will even be deserters... Forget it, what am I talking about..." Wang Yong hurriedly While preparing dinner, his thoughts were still on Hebei, more precisely Yuan Shao's side.

"Speaking of..." Wang Yong looked at Cai Yan, "Aren't all your people in Hebei, can't get in touch, and then let us know the situation there?"

"Hehehe, did you only think of me now?" Cai Yan said triumphantly, "I have already contacted them before Chinese New Year! And I received their reply four days ago!"

"Oh, what did the letter say?" Wang Yong asked curiously.

"They all said they didn't know me!" Cai Yan replied confidently.

"..." Wang Yong was silent, "Why don't we just send you to Caishikou, and then cut you straight..."

"I'm sorry! I didn't know it would happen like this. They seem to have formally defected to that concubine during the time I was missing!" Cai Yan burst into tears and begged for mercy.

"After all, you slipped out unjustly alone... The key point is that we captured you... Maybe they think that going to Yuan Shao can bring them a better future." Wang Yong said angrily.

"That being said, Yuan Yin shouldn't betray me..." Cai Yan was a little confused, "Anyway, we used to have a good relationship. Since she put me in charge, she rescued me in times of crisis. , it is impossible to betray me!"

"Then, show me the letter!" Wang Yong stretched out his hand.

"I guess you will want to read it, so I keep it with me..." Cai Yan searched for it, then took out a few letters from his bosom, and handed them over.

"You keep it on your body all the time?" Wang Yong didn't even need to smell it carefully, these letters smelled of sweat and Cai Yan.

"I hate it, how can you ask such a shameful question to a girl?" Cai Yan even winked at him mischievously.

"..." Wang Yong was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he opened the letter and looked at it. Many of the letters were unfeeling letters, as if he really planned to break up with her.But Yuan Yin's letter seems to be, but there seems to be another mystery.

"..." Tried to fold the letter, and then folded again, "But according to my orders! That's it, she is still loyal to you!"

"Is that...?" Cai Yan never thought that she could interpret the code in this way. If it were her, she probably would not have been able to guess the interpretation in this way.

"It's probably because I was worried that Yuan Shao would send someone to check the letter, so I used a code. Of course, I guess you can't understand it. She is writing to the lord." Wang Yong replied, since Cai Yan is here with Cao Cao, the letters between him and the old ministry , of course it depends.

"Then how do I contact her?" Cai Yan was a little worried, "Isn't this already heartless, and it seems that Yuan Shao will be suspicious if I reply like this?"

"It's simple, just swear at her throughout the article, saying that she doesn't care about her previous kindness. Of course, don't forget the password!" Wang Yong pointed to the letter, "As for this letter, I need to show it to the lord to explain the problem. !"

"Oh, okay..." This question is obviously very simple, but Cai Yan just couldn't think of it. After Wang Yong told her, it suddenly dawned on her.It was just accompanied by a new headache, that is, how to give out passwords while swearing.

If she really likes to use her brain so much, she won't be in this situation now...

"That's it..." Cao Cao also received Wang Yong's report. She looked at the letter and nodded, "To be honest, I forgot about her... I didn't expect much from her. Those old ministries who still listen to her..."

"My lord, you begged in every possible way at that time, so I took her in." Wang Yong sighed.

"The problem is, isn't she very useful now? From all angles..." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong with great interest.

"Yes, she is easy to use! That's all!" Wang Yong felt that the word "easy to use" was actually very ambiguous, and he didn't know if Cao Cao did it on purpose.

"That's what I meant." Cao Cao smiled, and it seems that he said that on purpose before, "In that case, let her contact Yuan Yin to see if Yuan Shao has any intention of going south. This answer will It affects whether we need to prevent Yuan Shao from going south."

"According to the current situation, the opponent's main force is in Youzhou. It will take more than a month to return to Jizhou from there, and then from Jizhou to send troops again. I'm afraid it won't be possible within two or three months." Wang Yongyao Shaking his head, this world is obviously not the same as the earth, and there is obviously a problem with the scale between various places.

It’s okay to go from Xuchang to Yingyin, about an hour’s drive away, but to other places, the distance should be more than 100 miles, but it takes a day, or even two to three days to get there.Let’s say that Xuzhou is going to be conquered this time, starting directly from Xuchang, it may not be possible to reach the border of Peijun in half a month, and a full-scale war will be launched, and I am afraid that the entire Xuzhou will not be defeated in a year.

In the past, it would indeed be like this... But now there is a legion system, the Yuzhou Legion, and the Yangzhou Legion will send troops at the same time, and the result is naturally a trend of north-south pinching.

As a result, it may be that Lu Bu may not leave Xiapi in the end, but will be driven to Donghai County.But there is also a problem in this way, that is, she may go north to join Yuan Shao!
"Look at the specific reply first, the kind that will be delivered within three days by express mail, non-stop day and night. Don't begrudge money, I need to know the news of Hebei in the shortest possible time!" Cao Cao replied.

"Would you like to subscribe to that "Hebei Weekly" by the way? If you want to know what happened in Hebei, there is nothing faster than reading a newspaper!" Wang Yong asked.

"I'm already subscribing, and I've been subscribing! By the way, the news of Gongsun Zan's annihilation was published in a new issue, only a few days late." Cao Cao picked up a newspaper and handed it to Wang. Yong, it really is "Hebei Weekly".

"My lord's foresight, I admire you!" Wang Yong looked at Cao Cao with a look of admiration.

"Don't be sour... Speaking of newspapers, Xu Shu's "Feng Shen Yan Yi" seems to have caused a lot of topic recently, I guess you have to deal with it! Many idle and boring scholars blame "Feng Shen Yan Yi" for blasphemy." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and reminded him.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
