Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1464 Ballads on Jiangzhu for thousands of years

   "Jiangdong..."

  Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, spit out two words, and then fell silent.

   Like most people in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's knowledge of Jiangdong is still very superficial. In fact, until the Jin Dynasty was forced to move in, most people in the Han Dynasty did not think that Jiangnan and Jiangdong were so good. After all, the two rivers and plains, China and North China are the kingly way. The land is flat, the grain production is good, and the transportation is very convenient.

However, the news from the spy dispatched to Jiangdong that Sun Ce was so powerful that Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little worried. He spanned four counties and included nearly thirty cities. Cao Cao had to feel a lot of fear.

  If it is said that Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, at the last moment, Sun Ce made a big move at the last moment, and then reaped the benefits of the fisherman...

  In that case, wouldn’t Cao Cao have spent the past two years in vain?

  Original Cao Cao’s plan was to eat Yuan Shu, grow up on Yuan Shu’s bones, and then think about coercing the emperor to command the princes. If his own strength is not strong, what if he has an emperor? A lesson from the past, Wang Yun Wang Situ's flying leap is especially in front of his eyes.

   "This matter is known, you go to rest for now..." Cao Cao waved his hand, and let a black-clothed official step down first.

  Cao Cao walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and then said in a deep voice, "Come here! Please come for the Chinese Army's sacrificial wine!" The Chinese Army's sacrificial wine is Guo Jia.

   During this period of time, because Cao Cao felt that his surroundings were very unstable, and he couldn't even sleep well, so he formed a school affairs team under Guo Jia's suggestion. The so-called school affairs means inspection and inspection affairs. In fact, there are already some mixtures of military constitutions and secret agents, who are independent from the army, and then responsible to Cao Cao, directly underwriting various affairs, and then expanding wildly. Apply to a lot of areas...

Of course, on the surface, Cao Cao said that the military school affairs were temporarily established to rectify military discipline. If the army wants to be strong, it must declare discipline. In ancient times, there was Sima Rangju, and recently there was Yafu Xiliu. It is unorganized and the sergeants are tyrannical, so school affairs must be established, and now it is the army of the imperial court, it is even more necessary to rectify the name of the officials, and must prohibit looting, indiscriminate killing, etc., so that the world can return to its heart, and the people eat pots of milk to meet the clouds...

  Under the majestic words, no one could express any objection, but in fact, Cao Cao still has a Nugget Captain behind his back, so if you see it, you should treat it as invisible.

In history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao broke up later, and Chen Lin made a call to arms, which said: "Liang Xiaowang, the first emperor's mother Kun, the tomb is respectful; the pine trees and cypresses in the hometown are still respectful. And Cao Shuai, generals and officials, came to excavate in person. , torn coffins and naked corpses, and plundered gold and treasures... Fuck also specially sent General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, all the skeletal events that happened, all the bones were exposed..."

   It is said that Cao Cao collected military resources by stealing graves and digging graves. Although there is an exaggeration and slander, it is also groundless and not without reason. However, Chen Lin was also the boss laughing at the second child. At that time, nine of the ten princes had secretly dug their graves. Didn't Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao do this? Cao Cao is by no means the most exaggerated one. After all, thick burials were common in the Han Dynasty, and even some families suffered family fortunes due to funerals.

Cao Cao’s army in the early days was no different from ordinary warlords. After all, they had to feed so many people, and they were not like General Zhengxi, a streamlined army. , in fact the pressure is not small.

  But now that Cao Cao has welcomed the emperor, he will somewhat restrain himself, and is no longer as unscrupulous as before. Therefore, the establishment of school affairs in the army has gradually been accepted by most people, and the person in charge of the transfer is Guo Jia.

  Guo Jia arrived not long after. Cao Cao first asked Guo Jia to sit down, without much foreshadowing, and then directly talked about Jiangdong's affairs, expressing his concern for Sun Ce.

   "If people from Jiangdong look for opportunities..." Cao Cao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Is there any countermeasure for Fengxiao?"

  Guo Jia is a smart person. After hearing Cao Cao's words, he knew that Cao Cao already had a plan in his heart, but he needed Guo Jia to verify it, or let Guo Jia be a scapegoat.

   Otherwise, something like this is more or less a military matter, why not call a group of ministers to discuss together, but call Guo Jia alone to answer?

   Therefore, the meaning of Cao Cao calling Guo Jialai is a hint that Cao Cao does not intend to take the normal path. And this abnormal method is actually very simple...

  Guo Jia sighed silently in his heart.

  The reason why Cao Cao sought him was not because Guo Jia came from a poor family, and he didn't have too much involvement, just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty liked to promote some children from poor families to serve as court ministers. If something happened, when abandoning these poor family children, they would not have too many worries because of their family or something.

   "Haha..." Guo Jia laughed, "Why worry about it, my lord? He is light and unprepared, quick-tempered and resourceful, but he is the brave ear of a common man, and he will die at the hands of a villain in the future..."

  Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "Really?"

  Guo Jia nodded.

  Cao Cao also nodded, and said with a smile: "Now there is Fengxiao, I don't have to worry about it!"

  Guo Jia saluted and said, "It's a matter of duty..."

  The two looked at each other and smiled, as if a monarch and his ministers get along well.

"That's right!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "The newly obtained Pingyang Sanhua fine wine is made from peach blossoms in spring, osmanthus in autumn and plum blossoms in winter. It has the fragrance of the three flowers and the beauty of a year. Two altars!"

"So, I'm so disrespectful!" Guo Jia smiled, accepted Cao Cao's reward, then withdrew and returned home. After a moment of silence, he asked the servants at home to open the wine jar, but nothing was served. The dishes are poured and drunk by themselves.

  You don’t know how to feel sad when you are young, but you feel that officials are good. If you want to go upstairs, go upstairs, silk, satin and fine wine are indispensable.

  Autumn, the five elements belong to gold, and the main weapon is fighting and killing. It's really a good autumn, does it mean the scenery of autumn?

Guo Jia smiled, raised the wine bar, stretched out his hand forward, and said to the void in the air: "Let's respect you for a bar! Drinking victory! Drinking victory..." After speaking, he gulped it down, and then spit out a mouthful A long smell of alcohol.

"...What's the matter..." Xun Yu walked in from outside the courtyard, and saw Guo Jia sitting and drinking at a glance, frowned slightly, and said with some disdain, "...It's still bright, so you're drinking? You really... even the dishes nor?"

  Xun Yu turned around and said to his subordinates, "Go to the Qianjie Restaurant and ask him to bring some seasonal dishes..." His subordinates responded and turned around to leave.

   "I want to buy roast leg of lamb!" Guo Jia added and shouted later, "You don't need anything else, but roast leg of lamb is a must!"

   Xun Yu's attendant stopped and glanced at Xun Yu. Xun Yu waved his hand helplessly, signaling to the attendant that it's all right. As soon as the attendant bent down, he went out with his head on his head. I don't know if he couldn't help laughing if he raised his head...

  Xun Yu took off his wooden clogs and walked into the hall. The wooden planks in front of the hall seemed to be loose, and there was a creaking sound when stepped on. Xun Yu paused for a moment, frowned, then turned to look at Guo Jia's housekeeper who was laughing with him in the hall.

   "Don't blame him..." Guo Jia shook the wine bar and said, "The money that was originally used for repairs...uh, I took it for drinking... Anyway, it was repaired, and it might break again at some point. It's better not to repair it..."

  Xun Yu: "..."

   Xun Yu sat down in front of Guo Jia, was silent for a moment, waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and then said in a low voice: "My lord is looking for you...for...Jiangdong?"

  Guo Jia paused while holding the hand of Jiujue, then nodded slightly.

   "What do you want, my lord?" Xun Yu's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said, "Could it be..."

  Guo Jia didn't say a word, just drinking.

   "..." Xun Yu frowned deeply, and said, "How can this be so! You must know that you don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, how can you do such trivial things! Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world if it was spread?"

  Guo Jia laughed twice, and said vaguely: "Is there? My lord didn't do anything... How could he be ridiculed? Hehe..."

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, how can you accept this crime? In the past, Yuan Gonglu bought murderers and assassinated Duke Qin...The princes were all afraid, so Liu Jingzhou encircled and attacked...Now if others know, we will Wouldn't it be like Yuan Gonglu to act like this? Not right, when someone finds the lord, he must be persuaded not to do this..."

   Xun Yu was about to get up after speaking, but Guo Jia grabbed his sleeves and almost fell down.

At that time, Yuan Shu may have felt that Cao Cao was too threatening, or he wanted to save some troubles. Anyway, he did not use the method of attacking with a large army. Instead, he found some rangers and warriors from Runan and came to assassinate Cao Cao in disguise. As a result, Qin Lang Because this unlucky ghost was about the same height and beard as Cao Cao, these Yuan Shu's assassins took him for Cao Cao, and died unexpectedly, so Cao Cao escaped a catastrophe.

  From then on, basically no matter where Cao Cao went, he would always bring a large number of guards with him to prevent accidents.

   What Xun Yu said is not to do to others what you don’t want to be done to others. Since Cao Cao hates being assassinated by others, why did he ask Guo Jia to go to Jiangdong to arrange such a thing?

"Be safe and don't be impatient..." Guo Jia signaled, let Xun Yu sit down again, then picked up the wine spoon, poured Xun Yu a jug of wine, and said, "...My lord, this is also a helpless move...Let's listen to someone Speaking of..."

  Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to have realized something. He leaned on the table and sat down again. He tidied up the clothes that had been pulled crookedly by Guo Jia, and nodded, as if signaling for Guo Jia to talk about it...

  Guo Jia gulped down another drink, and pointed to the drinker in front of Xun Yu with a little drunkenness. Xun Yu picked up the wine jue helplessly, took a sip, and then looked at Guo Jia.

"##@@..." Guo Jia muttered something, vaguely, and then said, "My lord, the advantages of this strategy outweigh the disadvantages... Wen Ruo imagines, if Yuan Gonglu is destroyed, we will continue to march It’s better to go south, or…”

  Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, then gulped down another glass.

  Xun Yu couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, then he sighed slightly, looked at the cup of wine in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

   Except for some people with special hobbies, most people don't like dirty things, but dirty things are definitely indispensable, and there are always people who want to do them.

  Due to Yuan Shu’s own reasons, Jiangdong Sun Ce rebelled against the revolution after Yuan Shu and sought his own interests. Although some people think that it is not an act of loyalty, most people still choose interests first. So for Cao Cao, continuing to attack Jiangdong in the south, perhaps in the perception of many people, is a relatively righteous approach, but the benefits it brings are not many...

First of all, the distance from Yanzhou to Jiangdong is much farther than from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, Yuzhou, or even Xuzhou. The last time Cao Cao went to Xuzhou with his front foot, and Yanzhou with his back foot rebelled, it must have left a very deep impression on Cao Cao. Although it is said that the emperor has been welcomed, the performance of the emperor in the court cannot be completely reassuring.

   At least Cao Cao cannot be relieved.

  So under such circumstances, how could it be possible for Cao Cao to move his army too far away from Yanzhou to conquer Jiangdong?

   And there is Yuan Shao in the...

  In addition, there are many noble families in Jiangdong, even if they can be conquered, it will not take a day or two to win over these people. If Yanzhou changes at this time, should it be saved or not?

  Returning to the army is tantamount to giving up the land that has been conquered again. If you don't return to the army, then wouldn't the rear base that you have worked so hard for the past few years fall into the hands of others?

   Therefore, sending troops to Jiangdong is a thankless task, but it cannot be ignored. Jiangdong Sun Ce's development speed in the past two years is too amazing. The six counties of Jiangdong have already won more than half of them. If this momentum continues, it will become a serious problem sooner or later.

  Even if there is no problem now, if in the future when Cao Cao is busy in the north, Sun Ce comes out from the south, this sour taste...

  Although the methods are a bit inferior, if you can use the least amount of manpower and investment to disrupt Jiangdong, let Jiangdong fall into disputes, have no time to care about others, and even fall into a slump...

   Xun Yu let out a long sigh and remained silent. After Guo Jiayi's reminder, Xun Yu could figure it out to some extent, perhaps this is the only way to deal with this matter, which is the most suitable for the current situation.

   "...This matter..." Xun Yu shook his head, paused for a moment, then shook his head again, and said, "In the end... oh... It's going to be right after all... What's more, apart from Jiangdong, there is also Zhengxi..."

   Speaking of this, Xun Yu suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Jia.

   "..." Guo Jia didn't speak, but smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked outside the hall, and after a long time, he sighed slowly...
