We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the short-term joy dissipated, everyone in Yanzhou became busy again.

As the order of Taicang.

Because he was responsible for disaster relief matters hosted by the imperial court, Cao Cao ordered the entire Yanzhou to cooperate with Xi Yu.

On the other side, Chen Gong seemed to have become a different person since Yanzhou left.

He took several of his subordinates to the Sili area and then went deep among the people.

There is no more noble demeanor.

Chen Gong began to personally deal with the disaster. Xi Yu, who had been paying attention to Chen Gong's condition, couldn't help but praise him.

Chen Gong is quite trustworthy when he works seriously.

With Chen Gong on the periphery to help deal with the disaster and a series of other things, Xi Yu, the Taicang order, had a lot less things to do.

Because of Yanzhou's bumper harvest, it was much smoother to provide relief to the victims.

The people of Yanzhou are also very tolerant of refugees fleeing from various places.

Perhaps, among the people in Yanzhou today, many of them defected to Yanzhou before.

The explosion in population was followed by an increase in the labor force.

What to do with these people.

The first thing Cao Cao and other soldiers in Cao's camp thought about was to expand the army.

Nowadays, princes all over the world are frantically starting to raise their troops. The strength of the troops will make people feel more at ease.

However, Xi Yu had many other ideas regarding the addition of so many new labor forces.

There is no large-scale war in Yanzhou at the moment.

After capturing Xuzhou, the current Cao camp is dominated by Xun Yu and Xi Yu, both of whom advocate recuperation in a short period of time.

Xuzhou needs time to digest and control, and relying on Cao Ren to garrison Xuzhou alone is a bit too reluctant after all.

Xuzhou is such a big city. When it recovers, its potential will be no worse than that of Yanzhou.

"Fengyi, do you want someone?"

In the Juancheng Yamen Office, after Xi Yu expressed his thoughts, Cao Cao and others were obviously surprised.

They are discussing how to deal with the new population.

Who would have thought that Xi Yu, who was not interested in people in the past, would actually come up with the idea of ​​asking for people this time.

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Almost for a moment, he almost thought that Xi Yu wanted these people to train an army of soldiers himself!

Has this guy finally figured out that he is actually suitable to be a general?

On the side, the faces of all Cao Ying's soldiers fell.

If Xi Yu becomes a general, wouldn't it be more difficult for these people in the future?

If you have such a strong player to compare with, who wouldn't be under a lot of pressure?

Cao Cao was filled with joy. He didn't care about what those generals thought at the moment, as long as Xi Yu was willing to lead the army.

Things like soldiering are much simpler.

Cao Cao has experienced the heavy supply camp before.

Under Xi Yu's training, today's supply camp has long been extraordinary.

What kind of transport camp is this? In the eyes of Cao Cao and even the generals of Cao Cao's camp, this is clearly an extremely powerful iron army!

It seems that he realized that Cao Cao's idea was wrong.

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Brother, I've got a different idea. I didn't mean to lead the army!"

Xiyu didn't want people just to lead the army. He wanted people now because he had other ideas.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, all the generals in Cao's camp couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao was a little stunned and didn't seem to understand.

Since it's not for training new troops, then what does Xiyu want people for?

Could it be an expansion of the supply camp?

If you think about it, this is not bad.

Cao Cao has long had the idea of ​​building a powerful battalion, and he even had a name for the battalion in mind!

Haw Par Camp!

A powerful army like a tiger and a leopard!

Cao Cao has already been greedy for the supply camp.

Three thousand people in a supply camp was already considered the limit, and any more would not make much sense at all.

If Xi Yu expands his army, he can also ask Xi Yu to help him train soldiers.

Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

Cao Cao's expectations have not been lowered, and he is even eager to try.

Xi Yu knew that Lao Cao still seemed to have some misunderstandings.

He simply said what he thought directly.

"I want people just for construction!"

"Nowadays, the roads between various places in Yanzhou are in disrepair. Some places of these roads are in dilapidated condition!"

"I just imagine, if someone rebuilds the Chidao, and even connects it between Xuzhou, it will be a good thing for us!"

"Besides, I still have some ideas in my mind and I need enough manpower to do it!"

Xi Yu said his thoughts casually, without mentioning at all that he had any idea of ​​building an army for the bureau.

In his view, if you want to make progress in this era, it is essential to develop your own foundation.

And building Chidao, this may be the most inconspicuous thing.

However, this is what a force must do if it wants to develop.

Why did the First Emperor want to overhaul the world?

And the entire Han Dynasty benefited from Qin Chidao.

The road is fundamental.

Having better roads will greatly facilitate a place's economy, transportation, and circulation.

This truth can be understood by just thinking about it carefully.

on the other hand,

Xi Yu also wants to optimize the papermaking technology.

In this era, things like paper have long appeared with Cai Lun's research and development.

However, there are still many problems with today's papermaking technology.

In the final analysis, the cost is too high.

And it is precisely because of this that the so-called Luoyang paper is expensive.

Nowadays, things like paper mostly exist among wealthy noble families. Even Cao Cao himself had very little time to use paper.

Xiyu really had enough of looking at the bamboo slips.

Not to mention Fan Ben, the key point is that the content he can record is not much.

Compared with convenient paper, there are too many shortcomings.

There is already a partial foundation for simple papermaking, and Xi Yu has the experience of later generations, so it is not too difficult to optimize and improve it.

The only thing lacking at the moment to do this kind of thing is manpower.

"Build Chidao?"

After hearing Xi Yu's idea, Cao Cao was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that Xi Yu wanted someone just for this matter.

The generals of Cao Ying nearby were somewhat confused.

Building roads is naturally a good thing, for generals like them who lead the battle.

A good road can save a lot of time and effort.

Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others on the side looked at each other.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, then seemed to have figured it out.

"My lord, Feng Yi's words make sense!"

"At that time, the Qin State built Chidao, although it was for the convenience of King Qin's inspection of the world, but the role of Chidao also promoted the prosperity of the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"Then I, the Han Dynasty, built a lot of Qinchi Road, and the Han Dynasty benefited a lot from it!"

"I highly approve of Fengyi's words to build Chidao!"

As Xun Yu nodded in approval, Xi Zhicai beside him also spoke out without hesitation.

After all, he is his younger brother, and as his eldest brother, he will support him without hesitation no matter what.

What's more, building Chidao is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

"I also second the proposal!"

"Seconded!"

After Xi Zhicai opened his mouth, all the advisers nodded.

We are all educated people. For things like building roads, we only need to think about it with our brains to understand its usefulness.

Xi Zhicai continued to speak.

"Lord, there is no war in Yanzhou right now. This time we take Xuzhou, our army's idea is to cultivate and recuperate!"

"Building Chidao this time is actually a good choice!"

"For one thing, you can march with our army in the future, which will be more convenient for you!"

"Secondly, connecting Yanzhou and Xuzhou will make it easier for us to control Xuzhou!"

"Thirdly, the construction of Chidao can attract merchants from all over the world. These merchants can bring a more prosperous scene to Yanzhou!"

Why has Kyoto been the most prosperous place in all dynasties?

On the one hand, it is because the emperor himself is here.

On the other hand, just because in a place like Kyoto, the roads are naturally the best in the world!

Convenient transportation will naturally attract merchants from all over the world.

The presence of businessmen can drive the development of the local economy.

As Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Cao Cao naturally figured it out.

But it just needs some people to build Chidao, so it's not a big deal.

"Just as Fengyi said!"

"As many people as you need, just ask!"

Hearing Cao Cao's promise, Xi Yu subconsciously glanced at him.

He said he advocated building roads, but he had no intention of taking the job.

Just wanted to give some advice.

But seeing what Lao Cao means now, is he planning to entrust himself with the responsibility of building roads?

"Brother, I have other things to do. As for building Chidao, I think it's better to let my eldest brother do it!"

Xi Yu did not hesitate to pass the responsibility for this matter to Xi Zhicai.

The latter was originally minding his own business and wanted to find Guo Jia a place to drink in his spare time!

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Xi Yu would blame the construction of Chidao on himself.

This made Xi Zhicai feel a little bad.

He wanted to refuse, but it was Xi Yu who brought it up after all.

If he refused, wouldn't it make Cao Cao look bad?

Cao Cao didn't think much about it. After hearing Xi Yu's recommendation, he subconsciously glanced at Xi Zhicai.

There is no war in Yanzhou right now, and he doesn't need to take the other party with him to discuss matters at any time.

He was relieved to leave the construction of Chidao to Xi Zhicai.

"What do you think Zhicai?"

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked with a smile.

Anyway, he has taken over the task of building Chidao. As for who advocates this matter, you two brothers can discuss it yourself.

Xi Zhicai reluctantly handed over his hand: "Yes!"

…

After discussing about the population, everyone went about their own business.

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Yu, greeted him, and they walked out together.

Seeing this situation, everyone knew that Cao Cao had something to tell Xi Yu, but they didn't care at all.

The two of them passed the Langting of the Yamen Office and arrived at the backyard in a blink of an eye.

At this time, there were not many people around, so Cao Cao asked Xi Yu leisurely.

"What do you think of this man from Gongtai?"

Xi Yu didn't expect that Cao Cao would drag him here alone, and the first person he would mention would be Chen Gong.

It seems that Chen Gong still has some weight in Cao Cao's heart.

"Brother, is it because I released it?"

How to evaluate Chen Gong, Cao Cao naturally had a strong idea in his heart, and Xi Yu himself didn't need to say anything about this matter.

no need.

Now Cao Cao asked how he viewed the other party, just to find a reason.

"Haha, I'm glad you were able to persuade Gongtai!"

For Chen Gong, Cao Cao still retained a feeling of friendship in his heart. This friendship was somewhat deep in Cao Cao's heart.

There is no doubt about Chen Gong's talent and ability.

Without Chen Gong's help, it would be difficult for him to take over Yanzhou!

But before, when he was in trouble, if Chen Gong hadn't supported him all the way, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Cao Cao couldn't bear Chen Gong.

Even if the other party and himself didn't want to be together, Cao Cao couldn't bear to kill the other party.

Xi Yu is very clear about Cao Cao's love for talents.

He didn't have much opinion on the grievances between Cao Cao and Chen Gong.

In the final analysis, there is still a difference in philosophy between the two people.

However, a slight deviation did not appear at the beginning. After it appeared, the two could no longer be together.

"Gongtai's capabilities are very strong. At present, the court's disaster relief gestures are basically done by Gongtai for me!"

"I heard that Gongtai is in a very good mood right now!"

Xi Yu said casually.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then he reached out and patted Xi Yu on the shoulder: "Thank you!"

Regarding Chen Gong, Cao Cao felt much relieved after learning that the other party was doing well.

He can be considered worthy of the other party!

As for thinking about Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's teeth couldn't help but ache!

He regards Zhang Miao more seriously than Chen Gong. It is the existence that he can rely on for his family.

However, the betrayal came so unexpectedly.

It makes people feel heartbroken.

Precisely because of the attention, the hatred after the betrayal became more intense.

Chen Gong and him are on different paths and do not seek each other's side.

Where is Zhang Miao!

Cao Cao asked himself that he had never felt sorry for Zhang Miao, even after becoming the shepherd of Yanzhou.

He still treats each other like an older brother.

But why would the other party rebel against him?

Because of this, Zhang Miao must die!

The three clans that were able to keep Zhang Miao were all Cao Cao's commemorations of the friendship between the two.

After shaking his head, he put aside the thoughts of Chen Gong and others.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu again.

"By the way, what do you think of Liu Bei?"

Since Liu Bei followed him back to Juancheng, he has been living alone, but he has behaved extremely well.

But Cao Cao still attached great importance to Liu Bei.

He also highly recognized this person's ability.

Xi Zhicai said that the other party was capable of threatening his existence, and he also wanted to hear what Xi Yu thought of him.

I heard Cao Cao ask what he thought of Liu Bei.

Xi Yu frowned slightly.

Speaking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu's impression of him is not very bad.

How can a person who can be widely praised by future generations have bad character?

The slander of future generations is nothing more than grandstanding by some people!

Being able to implement his own ideas and thoughts throughout his life, and even treat the people very well.

Such a person is worthy of admiration.

Now that Cao Cao asked Liu Bei, he naturally valued him.

Xi Yu knew that with his skills, he might be able to decide Liu Bei's life or death with just one sentence.

"He is a good person, quite benevolent and righteous!"

"Brother is afraid of this person?"

"Ah!"

"Why be afraid?"

Cao Cao sneered, it's just Liu Bei, not to mention that the other party is already under his control, even if he is not, so what?

If he can defeat the opponent once, he can defeat him a second time or a third time!

In this regard, Cao Cao was full of confidence.

"Since brother doesn't take it to heart, then there's no need to pay attention to it! Just don't let it run away again!"

Now Liu Bei is in Juancheng after all. He has no power and no connections. Even the Yanzhou nobles are afraid of Cao Cao.

Don't dare to have deep friendship with the other person.

It seems extremely normal for Cao Cao not to care about Liu Bei like this at the moment.

"Right!"

Cao Cao chuckled lightly, and the two walked side by side. Cao Cao didn't think too much about Liu Bei.

Looking at the sky, it is clear.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, it was so refreshing and refreshing, which really made people feel particularly good.

Today's Yanzhou is peaceful!

With the presence of Xi Yu, Xun Yu and others, Cao Cao felt extremely stable.

"Fengyi, how long do you think this big man's situation can last?"

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xi Yu.

In the land of the Han Dynasty, he already controlled Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north are currently fighting fiercely.

He felt that Yuan Shu in the south was just like that. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was more defensive than aggressive.

As for Liu Zhang and his son in Xishu, they entertain themselves behind closed doors and are not worth mentioning.

In the whole world of dialect, it seems that there are not many people who can make Cao Cao feel valued.

how long?

If we look at the original historical progress, Cao Cao would have tried his best throughout his life, but in the end, he would only be one-third of the world.

Before he died, he could not see the scene of unifying the nine states.

The troubled times of the Three Kingdoms lasted for a long time, and their lives lasted for several decades.

Cao Cao spent his whole life rushing here.

But now, things are somewhat different!

When Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, he didn't attack it several times as hard as he did before.

Although there were some twists and turns, there were not many storms.

At present, Cao Cao's ambition can be said to be as high as the sky.

"Don't worry, brother, let's go and watch!"

Xi Yu didn't say much. Who can know what will happen in the future?

Think about how to develop in the future.

The next step is to welcome the emperor into Xudu, and then use the emperor to command the princes.

Whether it was Xun Yu's idea of ​​taking orders from the emperor to disobey his subjects, or he was actually using the emperor to order the princes!

This is an extremely critical turning point for Cao Cao!

At present, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong and disasters are everywhere.

In Chang'an, Liu Xie could no longer bear it at this time, or perhaps those ministers who followed Liu Xie could no longer bear it!

If I remember correctly, the emperor's return to the east seems to be not far away!
