Three Kingdoms: Keep a Low Profile, I'm Just a Guy

　　"Yun Chang Yide, during the battle of Xuzhou last year, the two of you were trapped in the trap camp."

　　"But I know that although the trap camp is fierce, the two of you should have rushed out. I guess it is because of the mounts that you cannot use it, so you must accept these two horses!"

　　The two were paralyzed as if they were electrocuted.

　　Cao Cao really understood himself.

　　Trapped in the first battle of the camp was indeed suffering because of the war horse.

　　Even so, Liu Bei never thought about giving Lu to the two, but Cao Cao was willing to give it up. How could they not be moved by this trust?

　　"Prime Minister, the last will never be able to repay your great kindness!"

　　"That's great, with this unique shadow, even if the big-eared thief is thousands of miles away, I can hunt him down!"

　　"Hahaha, go ahead and try your mounts, but you still like it."

　　Under the supervision of Cao Cao, the two flew on their horses and ran happily on the martial arts field.

　　The two, who were too itchy and wanted to express themselves, fought in front of Cao Cao.

　　There was a loud crash of clanging collisions, and the two of them fought in full swing.

　　"As expected of a tiger general, Brother Qin is right, the bravery of the two can really help me achieve great things, and I can not be afraid of Yuan Shao!"

　　"The lord sent Chitu and Jueying at once, which is really generous."

　　I do not know when, Xun Yu has appeared behind Cao Cao.

　　Using two horses to capture the hearts of two tiger generals, Cao Cao would certainly be happy with such a deal.

　　"Please, my lord, take a look at this letter."

　　Cao Cao stared intently at the two fighting, took the letter and glanced at it, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

　　"What's the matter? The price of salt has risen five times in a day, and it is even more expensive than pork?"

　　"Frontline Express, Yuan Shao has already defeated Gongsun Zan, and all the four northern states have fallen into his hands. This is obviously his conspiracy."

　　Xun Yu sighed, with a deep worry in his eyes.

　　Understood.

　　Dahan states have always used sea salt from Qingzhou.

　　Now that Yuan Shao has unified the four states in the northern kingdom, the next step is naturally to go south and fight against himself.

　　I just didn't expect that he would start an economic war and break his own salt road.

　　And the salt sellers in Xuchang City are now selling the only inventory, no wonder it will soar.

　　And, if things continue to deteriorate, the salt will eventually become priceless.

　　At that stage of the field, not to mention that the army's salt supply was not functioning properly, even the common people had no salt to use.

　　In desperation, they could only relocate into the four states of the Northland.

　　After a long time, the land of the three states will become an empty city!

　　Even the army will show deserters!

　　This move can be called drawing wages from the bottom of the pot, and defeating the enemy without fighting.

　　Thinking of this layer, beads of sweat fell from Cao Cao's temples.

　　Yuan Shao, I really underestimate you!

　　Could it be that you want to go on an expedition to the north immediately?

　　However, there was no time to hoard food and grass, and the northern expedition was in a hurry. If Yuan Shao avoided the fight, he would have run out of food in less than a month.

　　It's okay if you don't want such a problem, the more you think about Cao Cao, the more panicked.

　　Could it be that he did not lose to Yuan Shao's troops, but was about to lose to this mere table salt?

　　Cao Cao once again remembered what Qin Chuan had said.

　　In a war, it is not the soldiers, the cities, the generals that fight, but the national strength.

　　At this moment, Yuan Shao was using his national power to consume himself.

　　"Send Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others to come to the government to discuss politics, immediately!"

　　"promise!"

Chapter [-] You can't do it doesn't mean he can't!

　　Originally in a good mood, Cao Cao, who was in a hurry by Yuan Shao's ban on salt, had the heart to kill.

　　Except for Jia Xu who went to Xuzhou to reward the army, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu all rushed over, but when they heard the situation clearly, their eyes widened.

　　With their cleverness, they could quickly think that the crisis behind the ban on salt was enough to make Cao Cao, who was sitting in the land of the three states, collapse without a fight in the end.

　　The situation is good now, but it will only take three months, or even two months, and the land of the three states will be in chaos.

　　This move must be said to be too cruel.

　　"Don't just be stunned, tell me quickly, what can I do?"

　　Cao Cao felt even more unhappy when he saw that everyone's brows were even more furrowed than his own.

　　When is this time, let you guys come up with ideas!

　　"My lord, we can send someone to Qingzhou to buy salt, and then smuggle it back to Xuzhou."

　　As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao was able to issue a ban on salt, of course, he has controlled the key points in various places. How to smuggle it out?"

　　Cao Cao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

　　After pondering for a while, Cheng Yu spoke again:

　　"My lord, I think that maybe the people can only buy salt and bring it back to Xuchang in batches."

　　Cao Cao did not answer, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that he was even more dissatisfied with this one.

　　How much salt can the people carry out?

　　Besides, what if they go to the North Country with the public money and don't come back?

　　What if Yuan Shao imposes a ban on entry and exit from the four states?

　　Even if it is successful, it will treat the symptoms rather than the root causes.

　　"For today's plan, we can only let the Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture step up the production of vinegar cloth. As long as we make it to the autumn harvest, we can lead our army north and fight Yuan Shao decisively!"

　　After thinking for a long time, Guo Jia came up with the only idea that made Cao Cao a little excited.

　　Vinegar cloth is a special seasoning for some people who are too poor to afford salt. It is boiled with vinegar and stained with coarse cloth.

　　But the taste is not so easy to swallow.

　　And if you eat it for a long time, the sergeant's physical condition will get worse and worse.

　　This can only be regarded as a way out of no way.

　　"My lord, I've calculated that at present, our army still has as much as ten thousand stones of salt, which is enough for the army to spend in one month. With the vinegar cloth, it can indeed last until the autumn harvest."

　　Xun Yu paused, but chose to continue speaking:

　　"But I'm worried, if Yuan Shao chooses to avoid and not fight, our army will not be as strong as him, and if he chooses to attack, he will inevitably fall into a passive state."

　　This doesn't work either, that doesn't work either, the angry Cao Cao's head was offended, so he could only rub his temples with both hands to ease the pain.

　　Everyone just looks at me like this, I look at you, and more than half an hour has passed, but I can't come up with a feasible solution.

　　At last.

　　Cao Cao's eyes became sharp, he patted the case and shouted:

　　"That's it! While there is still strength, choose to go north and fight Yuan Shao decisively!"

　　Anyway, the second general Guan Zhang was just taken in, and he was considered to be an elite soldier, although the food and forage could only last for a month.

　　But as long as Yuan Shao can be lured into battle, and then a blitzkrieg can quickly decide the outcome, there may still be a chance.

　　It's not that Cao Cao is impulsive, this is the only time he can fight Yuan Shao while maintaining his full power after careful consideration.

　　The three advisors were all silent.

　　They did not agree, but they did not dare to object.

　　The reason is very simple, I simply can't come up with a better plan.

　　In the end, Guo Jia stood up and said solemnly, "My lord knows very well that we are fighting Yuan Shao at this time, no matter how tempted he is, he will not fight."

　　"Moreover, instead of choosing such a risky play, it is better to send an admiral to attack Qingzhou with tigers and leopards and rob the salt."

　　"Second next."

　　Cheng Yu expressed his support.

　　Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xun Yu who did not speak.

　　But he found that at this time, his mind didn't seem to be here, as if he was thinking about something else.

　　Could it be that he has a solution?

　　Cao Cao ignited a glimmer of hope and asked, "Wen Ruo has other ideas?"

　　"Uh... no."

　　Just when Cao Cao was upset, Xun Yu added:

　　"I just think of one person, shouldn't the lord ask him before making a decision?"

　　"who?"

　　Cheng Yu asked curiously.

　　In addition to Jia Xu, Cao Cao's think tank group in Xuchang has all arrived, who else can they find?

　　"Qinchuan! Brother Qin!"

　　Before Xun Yu could speak, Cao Cao's eyes shone brightly, he bounced off his chair, and laughed loudly:

　　"Wen Ruo said yes, how could I forget him!"
