The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 182

After the signing of the covenant was over, I took the gift list and said to Kuai Yue: "It is all thanks to Mr. Yuan Xi for making this possible. Yuan Xi can't repay you. Let these gifts be passed on to Mr. Kuai Yue." Kuai Yue's heart almost stopped beating, which is also true So generous.He had seen this gift list, and the items on it were almost all of Mrs. Cai's private possessions, converted into gold, at least 10,000+ taels. Yuan Xi gave it away without even looking at it. This is too courageous.

In fact, my heart is bleeding.

Kuai Yue pretended to decline a few words, then held the gift slip tightly in his hands helplessly, for fear of losing it again.I laughed in my heart, it’s good to be greedy for money, it’s good to be greedy for money, the lesson of bribing important ministers starts with you.

In the evening, a banquet was held in honor of Kuai Yue. In addition to the three beauties, five more beauties were presented, three of which were excellent spies newly cultivated by the special forces unit.Kuai Yue was embarrassed again for gaining the face of me, the great general, and was extremely reluctant, so he reluctantly accepted it, his face turned purple in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "General, you must never do this in the future. Now, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, how can this be—" As he spoke, he glanced at the new beauty beside him.The beauty responded in time with a charming and tender smile.This gentleman began to behave irregularly, and immediately became a complete prodigal.

Kuai Yue lived in Jizhou for half a month, and he felt a bit reluctant to miss Shu, and often spoiled the pretty girls in the General's Mansion.This gentleman is so upright!
Before we left, our two elder brothers were already so close that we could hang our shoulders together. Kuai Yue said goodbye to me with tears in his eyes: "General, I really don't want to part with you! I hope to see you again soon."

I said: "Sir, when you return to Jingzhou, you must help Yuan Xi more, so that I can kill the Cao thief as soon as possible and report to the country, and to report to my father."

"No problem, general, don't worry, as long as I'm Kuai Yue, Jingzhou will never cooperate with Cao Cao's bastard, Cao Cao, this bastard, this bastard, this bastard—" In order to express our friendship with gentlemen For his loyalty, Kuai Yue greeted Cao Cao's ancestors in front of me.

Watching the rolling wheels go away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Kuai Yue finally left. If he didn't leave, Jizhou would be evacuated by him.It seems that bribing the minister is quite effective.I discussed with Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, and decided to send envoys to Liangzhou and Hanzhong to bribe Zhang Lu's Changshi Yang Song, and Han Sui's Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin respectively.Yang Song is a greedy guy. He dares to take even hot money. He has another advantage, that is, he has a good reputation. If he takes the money, he will definitely do things properly. How much money you give, he will do it. No matter how big the matter is, it is genuine.Zhang Lu didn't know what he was doing behind the scenes, but he obeyed him instead.Chen Lin came to Hanzhong to present a generous gift, and without much effort, Yang Song introduced Zhang Lu to meet.Zhang Lu didn't want to cooperate with Yuan's family at first, Hanzhong and Hebei are too far away, Yuan's family can't help him, there is no need to mix together and be driven by others.But he couldn't stand Yang Song's instigation and random analysis of the situation.What, General Yuan is invincible, and Cao Cao is about to be defeated.Also, if they can break into Guanzhong, they can share the land equally with the Yuan family, which happens to be a great opportunity to destroy Ma Teng and so on.Zhang Lu was a person who didn't pay attention at first, and his ears were soft. In addition, he had practiced elixir to a critical juncture these days, so he didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he said, "Okay, let's do it like this, sign the covenant. You can figure it out." For 10 taels of silver, Chen Lin bought a contract and came back.

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin are the most greedy among the soldiers and horses of the Ten Routes of Yongliang. These two boys have been fighting with the Qiang people on the front line of Wuwei and Zhangye all year round, drinking Qiang strong wine, riding Qiang beauties, killing Qiang people, and burning Qiang people house.The Qiang people have no oil or water on them, or the Qiang people in this area have been killed and injured, and they start to rob their compatriots, which is not much better than dealing with the Qiang people.The beauties of this family, even if you are a big girl and a little wife, the whole army rides together——

Liangzhou is poor, and rabbits don't shit.Almost wild.The wind, sand and muddy water in the Hexi Corridor turned the flour of the beauty into sandpaper. Because the land lacks the necessary vegetation and the climate is extremely harsh, the food, clothing and supplies are not comparable to those of the princes of the Central Plains, and their lives are not comfortable. .So the soldiers in the frontier are tough and good at fighting.Because they are longing to go to the colorful world to hug a white and tender girl——

These two vicious, vicious, smoldering and maddened warlords saw the beauties with flowers like jade, pink and tender, and piles of gold and silver sent by Simpi.His chest was almost swollen: "Ma Teng, Ma Chao, I, Yang Qiu, and you are at odds."

Cheng Yin was even more ruthless: "Don't worry, Mr. Simpi, even if you don't come today, I will fight to the death with Ma Teng and his son. Me, I have been angry since I was a child when I saw someone surnamed Ma. Really, I just rushed His surname is Ma, and I have sworn before that I will destroy his whole family."

Simpi almost turned his nose in anger, someone with the surname Ma provoked you, and you get angry whenever you see someone with the surname Ma, it's all because of the money.Cheng Yin couldn't stop defending his shameless behavior: "It's not about Yinzi, let me tell you, I'm just angry because of the surname Ma—really—"

Simpi's face turned pale, and he said in surprise: "It's bad, one of the beauties that Pi presented to the general was also surnamed Ma, damn it, since the general doesn't like it, Pi should take it away as soon as possible, so as not to anger the general—"

Cheng Yin gave a troubled voice: "Girl—it doesn't matter—"

Han Sui is not as confused as Zhang Lu, he has a calm and brutal temperament, he can do anything when he is in a hurry, but his emotions are invisible, and he will never jump into the room. After Simpi explained his intention, Han Sui Then I thought this was a good opportunity to get rid of Ma Teng.But he was still worried that the Yuan family would be defeated in Guandu, so he stayed with Simpi for a few days.On the one hand, he found Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin, whom he relied heavily on as his confidantes and considered the two most loyal generals against the common people who were invincible in all battles.

Yang Qiu said what he had thought up a long time ago: "My lord, now that Ma Teng and Ju Shou Guo Yuan are fighting in Hedong, it is a good time to attack Guanzhong."

Han Sui didn't even lift his eyelids, and read with his head down. Cheng Yin said, "If Ma Teng gets the county of Hedong, his power will definitely grow. His eldest son, Ma Chao, always intends to invade Liangzhou. My lord can't just sit idly by. "Han Sui also wants to fight Ma Teng, but the two are still brothers of the opposite sex in name, so he has no name?Yang Qiu guessed what he was thinking, and offered a plan: "My lord, you can take your troops to Yongzhou, and say that you are here to make peace with Guo Yuan Ma Teng, and station the brigade in Meicheng. If Ma Teng understands the current affairs and withdraws, the lord can reorganize the army." Withdraw, if Ma Teng insists on fighting with Guo Yuan, then the lord will take the opportunity to seize Chang'an. Chang'an is the founding capital of the great Han Dynasty. Luoyang, if you retreat, you can defend yourself, so why not do it."

Ma Teng was puzzled, why Xiao Yang was so eloquent today, his mouth seemed to be equipped with a mechanical spring, and he babbled endlessly, and what he said was quite reasonable. Ma Teng, who was still hesitant, seemed to be scalded by boiling water. Jumped up from the chair, and the book fell on the low table; "Order troops immediately and go to Yongzhou."

Han Sui's army was still on the way, so Zhang Lu ordered Zhao Wei to go out of Xiegu to attack the Qingni pass. Ma Teng sent Ma Chao to fight Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei was afraid of Ma Chao and did not dare to fight him, so he retreated while fighting. In the next day, we returned to Xiegukou.Relying on Zhao Wei's familiarity with the terrain, he camped in the intricate sloping valley. Ma Chao didn't dare to pursue him anymore, and the two sides were at a stalemate.At this time, news came that Mr. Han Sui had led an army of 10 to persuade the fight.Ma Chao was dumbfounded when he heard that, he needed to go out to persuade the fight, and brought [-] people, obviously he didn't have any good intentions to take advantage of the fire, this guy is really a bastard.Han Sui, stationed in Meicheng, wrote a letter to Ma Teng, to the effect that he advised him to withdraw his troops. At the same time, he publicized the merits of the Yuan family, saying that he came here purely for the good of Ma Teng, so Ma Teng must not misunderstand.When he got the letter, Ma trembled with anger, so Xuan did not have a myocardial infarction.His face was pale, and he lost his voice and said: "I am your ancestor, you bastard Han Sui will not die well."

There is no way, let the two armies of Zhang Lu and Han Sui get mixed up, and Ma Teng can only retreat to Tongguan. Although Hedong is good, he has to try if he loses his old nest in Guanzhong.As soon as Ma Teng left, Zhang Lu and Han Sui withdrew.Du Qian, the prefect of Xiping in Hedong, was left alone, with few soldiers and few generals. He couldn't resist the tens of thousands of troops in Jushou's hands, so he could only ask Cao Cao for help.Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead an army of [-] troops. When Xu Chu walked halfway, he was lost in Hedong. Du Qian died in battle. Xu Chu had no place to stand, so he had to ask Cao Cao to withdraw to Xuchang.

During the period when the battle situation in Hedong was rapidly reversed, Pang Tong took over from Xin Pidu to build [-] sets of Iron Buddha armor, under the constant rush of [-] skilled craftsmen from all over the world.Tibetan Ba's mace was also cast.Cang Ba didn't wait until all the equipment was in order before training soldiers and horses. He found knights and horses every five sets, chained them together, and started training, which could save a lot of time.After three or four months, nearly [-] kidnappers have graduated under his rigorous training. Of course, none of them have reached the point of proficiency.Can barely pass.

These days, news from Xuchang and Luoyang keeps coming. Anyone who thinks that Prime Minister Cao, that old fox and wolf will stop here, can be identified as the biggest idiot in the Three Kingdoms era.His old man is also actively preparing for war and famine.Cao Cao's problem lies in food. It's one thing that he doesn't have Yuan Jiada in his territory, but it's not the most important thing, because he has Zaoyi, the agricultural genius of Tuntian Duwei, who can completely make up for this innate shortcoming.But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Zaozhi has no land in her hands, so she can't do anything.There are a lot of arable land in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, but most of them are not in the hands of Cao Cao.From the first day Cao Cao became prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he repeatedly made a very helpless mistake. He knew the seriousness of this mistake from the very beginning.He also knew that he must try to solve it, but he never freed his hand. After Yuan Cao fought, he discovered that this mistake was fatal again and again.But it has been unable to solve it.This fatal mistake is that Cao Cao has been accommodating traitors.He can't help it, he can only tolerate and support this group of parasite-like Confucian scholar-bureaucrats.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao is also a Confucian scholar, and he cannot jump out of the circle drawn by Mr. Kong, even if he is a great statesman in Chinese history.

The "Eight Discussions into the Law" of the Great Han Law provided an excellent and comfortable breeding ground for the gentry class to annex land and kill the poor indiscriminately.These eight discussions into the law refer to the discussion of relatives, that is, the emperor's relatives and relatives.Discussion, the emperor is old.Yigui is the descendant of the founding hero.Yi Neng, a talented scholar-bureaucrat, a person with a title.Ministers who have made meritorious service to the country.Yibin refers to the descendants of the former rulers.

The above eight types of people have supreme rights in the areas directly ruled by Cao Cao. They can override the judicial process if they break the law, and they can not be punished, or the criminal law can be reduced.In the precarious and war-torn era, some people had this kind of privilege, and it was not a mess.Therefore, the annexation of farmers' land by big landlords in Yanzhou and Yuzhou and Xuzhou is the most serious matter.The more territory Cao Cao laid down, the less land he could control.He was not ruthless enough, he repeatedly tolerated and tolerated these noble families, and as a result, the country was unable to make ends meet.

Cao Cao wanted to take back the land, but he had no choice but to find a way from these scholar-bureaucrats.After copying the homes of a few scholar-officials, he immediately found himself in an embarrassing situation. He had already spoiled these famous families.There were complaints from the ruling and opposition parties. Cao Cao understood that freezing three feet was not a one-day cold, and it would take time to solve this problem, at least after the north was unified. What he had to do now was to solve the food crisis and defeat the hairy boy in Jizhou—Yuan Xi.

Therefore, in extreme desperation, the Prime Minister extended his hand to the common people.

Fifteen taxes and seven.

A little worse than Guo Tu.It can be said that Cao Cao was forced to do this, but the common people did not understand that the politically clear prime minister suddenly became a scourge. The people around Xuchang could not afford the high land rent, so they could only leave their homes and start fleeing— — complaining —

In addition to desperately collecting food, Cao Cao is also actively mobilizing troops, ready to tear up the contract at any time, and then fight Guandu again.First of all, Zhang Liao, who was stationed at Guandu, increased his troops by [-] within a month, looking at Suanzao City in the distance.

Zhang He and Wen Chou were inexplicably happy to watch Zhang Liao increase his troops every day standing on the city tower. There was going to be a war again, and there was room for them to fight again.
