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

After a long time, Chen Deng blushed deeply, lowered his head and bowed deeply, apologized to Xi Yu and said, "Sir, I'm sorry!"

"Before, I was too ignorant and too arrogant, and I really couldn't understand your foresight!"

"What you said that day was that Confucianism should be the foundation, let a hundred flowers bloom, use heavy codes in troubled times, and promote Confucianism in prosperous times!"

"Now, I just understand the deep meaning!"

At this moment, Chen Deng could not conceal his immense respect for Xi Yu.

"Sir, now we have obtained thirteen very sophisticated and feasible strategies, which can be applied in many aspects. Now if more soldiers are added from various places, they will definitely be overwhelming."

In his words, Chen Deng could not conceal his excitement. He was older than Xi Yu, but at this moment he only felt that he was too immature in front of Xi Yu's profound intelligence.

Hearing this, Xi Yu wiped his eyes and marveled in his heart: Am I so magical? !

Chen Deng and others actually didn't know, Xi Yu was just trying.

Xi Yu looked at Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang in front of him. The three of them had expressions of worship at this moment.

In just one night's sleep, why did these three people look at me like this?

"Since these thirteen policies have been evaluated by you, they should be implemented immediately. By the way, the rewards for the students who wrote each policy will be left to you, how about it?"

"good!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were very excited. They already had a premonition in their hearts that these policies and regulations would benefit future generations for at least hundreds of years. They could not wait to risk their lives to be able to accomplish such an extraordinary thing for Master Xi. .

"Sir, don't worry!" Chen Deng bowed deeply and said excitedly.

"I will definitely convince the Xuzhou nobles to join you and work for you with all their heart. In the near future, Xiapi will have unprecedented prosperity!"

Xi Yu smiled slightly in his heart, but said nothing.

After a while, Xi Yu said, "You can make your own arrangements. Now it seems that the previous strategy has been successful. If there are still nobles who want to leave Xuzhou in the future, don't stop them and just let them go." "

After getting up, Xi Yu washed his face and felt very comfortable and energetic.

However, today is a holiday, and Xiyu doesn't want to go out.

Nowadays, most of the internal policy policies have been put forward by the students in the school, and Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang have compiled and compiled them. Xi Yu only needs the final evaluation and signature.

Regarding internal affairs, Xiyu is very relaxed.

However, in Xi Yu's view, Zhuge Liang is far-sighted in internal affairs, while Guo Jia prefers to use surprise to win. In comparison, Zhuge Liang is more powerful than Guo Jia.

But their respective strengths make up for each other's shortcomings, which makes Xi Yu very happy, "With these two capable people, I will be able to relax a lot..."

…

June day.

The cool breeze blows in Xuzhou City, which is very refreshing.

The plan to run the school was completed, and the people cheered for the compromise with the nobles, which immediately became the most exciting thing in Xiapi City.

As a result, Xiyu became more leisurely and comfortable, fishing or barbecuing almost every day.

But no matter where Xi Yu went, Dian Wei or Zhao Yun followed closely behind him, and occasionally Zhen Mi and Queen Guo accompanied him.

Ganmei and Miyun spend most of their time admiring flowers, growing flowers, and pruning vegetation in their home garden. They only go out unless they buy special supplies.

For some unknown reason, after getting along for a long time, the two of them fell in love with each other as sisters, as if they had known each other in the previous life. Both of them were fair-skinned, beautiful, gentle and elegant.

Compared with Cai Zhaoji and Queen Guo who are quite thin, Xi Yu really likes to sleep with these two beauties in her arms.

…

Not long after, after hearing about the incident in Xuzhou, more people came to defect, including many celebrities from Jingzhou.

Among them was the very famous Sima Hui, who also came to Xuzhou and built a wooden house on the outskirts of Xiapi City, living near the mountains and rivers.

Many scribes from Xiangyang also came to Xuzhou and stayed in the Duniu Mountain near Xiaopei. They indulged in the mountains and rivers, recited poems and composed poems, and lived leisurely and happily.

These people have been officials for many years and have savings at home. As long as they live frugally, the money and food in their hands will be enough to sustain their lives for several years.

If the money is exhausted, you can still cultivate the land in the future to obtain money and food for survival.

However, after coming to Xuzhou, these celebrities had new plans and business routes.

Some people thought that if the scrolls were compiled into tablets, they might be able to exchange money with passing caravans.

Because under the imagination of a student from the business school, many business routes were opened from Xuzhou to Xuchang.

Nowadays, there are many dignitaries in Xuchang, and business has brought them to Xuchang.

The hermits laughed at themselves. Now this business would even take away their money.

Nowadays, a casual conversation about a strategy, a map, or a talent review can be exchanged for money.

These money exchanges are completely free and unrestricted.

The only difference is that the caravans in Xuzhou have the right to inspect and only buy things they agree with.

As a result, the hermits were very happy and came one after another.

In just a few months, nearly 4,000 scribes moved to Xuzhou.

Dozens of them are from famous families.

Xuzhou, which was originally a place for merchants, gradually became a city for exchanges of scholars. There were many poetic schools in Xuzhou, and the literary style flourished accordingly.

And in the fields all over Xuzhou, there are also luxuriant branches and leaves, and they are growing well.

Nowadays, everywhere in Xuzhou has no sense of troubled times, and more people are coming after hearing about it.

…

However, as time went by, such prosperity naturally attracted the jealousy of others.

This person is Qu Asunte!

Talents in Qu'a kept moving northward, and the city soon became empty, with few talents and books, and the hermits in the mountains gradually disappeared.

Sun Ce was shocked: if this continues, he will have no scribes to use. Sun Ce is even more worried. If things go on like this, even the generals in the city will follow him.

Previously, Sun Ce came to Qu'a from Lujiang and transferred General Ji. Now the East has been stabilized and Jiujiang and Yuzhang have also been captured.

Nowadays, this land east of Jiangdong is looking peaceful.

Sun Ce even violently subdued the local nobles and allowed talented people among these nobles to serve as officials under his command.

However, in less than half a year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu discovered an unavoidable big problem: scholars from poor families and people from the scholar-civilian class!

At first, Sun Ce needed a large number of educated people as officials, but the only subordinate officials he had were Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others.

Zhuge Jin was originally from Langya in Xuzhou. Less than half a year after he became an official in Soochow, Sun Ce was about to recruit him.

Apart from these people, Sun Ce had no other talents available.

Moreover, these many advisers, as well as internal affairs ministers, prefects, and county magistrates, were all elected from the local areas and belonged to the gentry class.

Sun Ce was very worried. All his talents came from the gentry. As a result, it would be difficult for Soochow to get rid of the control of the gentry in the future.

His younger brother Sun Quan, now sixteen years old, traveled all over Soochow and worshiped Zhang Zhao as his teacher. He originally wanted to make friends with learned people, but most of the people he met were useless.

Zhou Yu heard about this from the army, and after some investigation, he found out that it was a learned man who had fled to Xuzhou.

In Qu'a, in the government office, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were talking in secret.

"Xi Yu's policy of running a school and abolishing Confucianism is really an act of deviance and rebellion. Which prince would dare to implement it? But Cao Cao was very supportive. He even ordered Cao Ang to use the Qinggang Sword as his trust and establish his authority to support Xi Yu's implementation. A strategy for running a school!”

"Who would have thought that the success of Xiyu's school would lead to thirteen ingenious strategies that benefited scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!"

"In this way, all the poor people in Xuzhou and even the world will be happy, and the people and scholars will naturally be happy to serve as officials in the place where Xiyu is famous."

"That's right, Xuzhou is already rich in food and grass, and taxes are low. But I heard that Xi Yu continued to favor the people and his subordinates. Xi Yu showed such kindness and power at the same time that he broke the monopoly of the gentry in less than half a year!"

"This man is truly terrifying."

Nowadays, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not married yet, but they have a close relationship. They sleep together almost every day and often talk about their hegemony at night.

Sun Ce suddenly said, "So, I immediately followed his example. What does Gong Jin think?"

"This is not possible." Zhou Yu said calmly.

He knew very well that Sun Ce just said it casually and did not think deeply about it.

"Nowadays, there are no scholars and people in Qu'a, and there are not many malleable talents. Furthermore, this matter of running a school cannot be decided until the rear is stable. Otherwise, it will just be a private school."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, if we simply follow Xi Yu's strategy at this time, we will definitely cause some people in the territory to rebel. Such a dangerous move will be difficult to deter no matter how many people are killed..."

Zhou Yu understood very well that the foundation of the current Soochow territory was the gentry class!

Once the fundamental interests of these nobles are touched, it will be extremely dangerous, and it is likely to cause the nobles to rebel, and the foundation just laid may be destroyed.

Sun Ce heard this and asked, "So, what is Gong Jin's clever plan?"

Zhou Yu was confident, "Now is the time to go north to fight!"

"It is a great achievement for us to pacify the counties in Jiangdong. Brother, please write to the emperor and ask him to make you the Grand Sima. Then we can legitimately rule the land of Jiangdong."

"If the emperor refuses, we can use Cao Cao to usurp the name of Han and send an imperial edict to the north to attack Cao Cao!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce suddenly realized, "False the imperial edict!?"

Nowadays, Xiyu is becoming more and more stable in Xuzhou. If it is allowed to continue to grow and develop, Xuzhou will definitely receive a large amount of military rations after the autumn harvest, and Xuzhou will be more stable, and even benefit the north of Yangzhou.

As a result, if you want to go north to fight again in the future, the difficulty of winning will be greatly increased.

Furthermore, Liu Biao in Jingzhou had strong soldiers and horses, a united gentry, and many strong generals. It would be difficult for Sun Ce to capture Jingzhou.

Although he had a grudge against Liu Biao, Sun Ce understood in his heart that in the current situation, maintaining the status quo was the best strategic choice for him.

Of course, if there is a good opportunity to seize land, he will not miss it.

After a while, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, in your opinion, when is the most appropriate time to attack?"

"In my opinion, the time is about to come..." Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong fighting spirit suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

"In the north, there must be a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao! By then, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains will be plunged into a melee!"

…

Xuzhou, in front of the gate of Xiapi Academy of Sciences.

Just as Cao Ang was about to enter the school, he was called to the door by Xi Yu. At this time, the guard Zhang Liao was very surprised and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Hefei is already a deserted city, why did you let me..." Zhang Liao was really shocked.

Xi Yu said calmly, "Wen Yuan, I believe you will be able to appease the people of Hefei and rebuild the city. At the same time, I will provide you with sufficient financial and food support."

But Zhang Liao was still very puzzled, and even more grateful, "Sir, how can a clerk be so virtuous and capable that you trust him so much?"

Although Zhang Liao is an honest man, he is brave and good at fighting, has far-sightedness and is decisive in doing things. This is also an important reason why Xi Yu chose him to rebuild Hefei.

Xi Yu's eyes were firm and focused. He patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and said with a deep smile, "No one is more suitable than you. I have absolute confidence in you."

"Sir, are you serious about this?" Zhang Liao still didn't dare to believe what Xi Yu said.

After so many years of marching and fighting, no one has ever praised and trusted him so much. This is really hard for him to believe.

Xi Yu affirmed, "Of course it's true! I believe that as long as you are here in Hefei, Dongwu Sun Ce will not dare to invade. In this way, I can attack Qingzhou Lu Bu with peace of mind..."

"My lord, you have to attack..."

"right……"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was shocked. His nose suddenly sore and he burst into tears.

"grown ups……"

"Why are you doing this?" Xi Yu really didn't understand why Zhang Liao cried suddenly.

"Wen Yuan is truly grateful for your magnanimity and love for Wen Yuan. Your kindness will be remembered by Wen Yuan in his heart!"

Zhang Liao was very grateful.

At this time, Cao Ang nodded and said, "That's it, uncle, I understand your intention."

This made Xi Yu a little confused and asked, "What does Ang'er mean by this?"

Cao Ang was very proud and said with a smile, "My uncle asked General Zhang Liao to rebuild Hefei, but you went to attack Lu Bu in Qingzhou because General Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's old subordinate. My uncle's move was to protect General Zhang from being criticized by the old general. "

"Uncle, for General Zhang, you are really well-intentioned." Cao Ang said with admiration.

Xi Yu glanced at Cao Ang and thought to himself: I never thought that Cao Ang was really smart.

"Wenyuan, you must protect Hefei for me and stabilize the trade routes along the river and canal. In the future, Huaiyang's business will be more prosperous, and the salt merchants will also develop accordingly."

Hefei borders Zhang Baling to the east, the Wanxi Mountains to the west, the Yangtze River to the south, and the Huaihe River to the north. It has unique geographical advantages and is an absolute place for commercial development. It is especially suitable for digging a grand canal.

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Zhang Liao nodded solemnly, "General, I understand! Don't worry, Sir, General will definitely stabilize Hefei, and no thieves can even think of taking a step forward!"

Zhang Liao was so moved that his blood boiled all over. In order to repay Xi Yu for trusting him so much, he was willing to fight to the death and do his best to develop Hefei.

Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao received a letter from Sun Ce from Jiangdong. Sun Ce said in the letter that he had made great contributions in annihilating his pseudo-brother Yuan Hao and hoped that the emperor would reward him with the rank of Grand Sima.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to call Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao and others. Now Cheng Yu also had merit and was qualified to make suggestions for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said to everyone, "Look, everyone, Sun Ce wrote a letter to the emperor asking for the position of Grand Sima. If I agree to this on behalf of the emperor, Sun Ce will definitely have greater prestige in Jiangdong in the future, and he will definitely become a more terrifying person. "

"But if I don't agree to this, what will happen to Sun Ce?"

Xun Yu thought for a moment and then said, "If the lord does not agree to this matter, I am afraid that Sun Ce will have the intention of starting a war."

"Feng Yi has just been the shepherd of Xuzhou for less than half a year. Sun Ce may invade Xuzhou and the northern part of Yangzhou."

"The land of Yangzhou is now facing the north, and Fengyi is in the south. If the north is threatened by Sun Ce, Yuan Shao can restrain Hefei."

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Wen Ruo's words are very reasonable. Now Fengyi has achieved initial results in running a school in Xuzhou, but such great achievements will not be achieved in decades."

However, these days, the situation of all parties is stable, life is very good, and Cao Cao is very rich and handsome. Cao Cao suddenly said, "Haha, I have a clever plan to deal with it."

After saying that, Cao Cao came to the sand table. Above the sand table was the map that Xi Yu had compiled before. From the top, you could roughly see the entire territory of Yangzhou, including the southern border.

In order to accomplish this, Xi Yu specially ordered Huang Zhong to lead Bai Qi to sneak into the southern border of Yangzhou and the Lujiang River area, that is, Huang Zhong quietly sneaked into the southern border of Yangzhou. It took him three months to get this map.

It can be seen from the many fragmented areas that there are many waterways in the southern border of Yangzhou.

Cao Cao called Xiahou Dun and asked, "Yuan Rang, if you are asked to take charge of the deployment, how will you arrange it?"

After Cao Ren led his troops to Dongjun, Xiahou Dun became Cao Cao's clan general.

Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, Cao Cao will deliberately inspect Xiahou Dun to let him learn to use his brain to think about using troops.

Xiahou Dun stepped forward and looked at the map. Then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This map is very detailed. I wonder where the lord comes from?"

"If there were more copies of such detailed maps, we would be invincible in battle!"

Cao Cao smiled lightly and said, "This picture was made by Fengyi Design Institute."

Hearing that it was Xi Yu who did it, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: Why is it Xi Yu again...

Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun and asked, "What, Yuan Rang, what's wrong with you?"

"Haha, there's nothing to be unhappy about." Xiahou Dun quickly smiled and said, "It's just that the maps of various places seem incomplete. It would be better if they could all be exported."

Cao Cao immediately rolled his eyes at Xiahou Dun and said, "Haha, do you think Fengyi's men are all magic soldiers?"

"Did you know that this map was obtained by Fenyi after dozens of days of hard work? It is not easy to achieve such workmanship. Yuan Rang, you still think it is not complete enough and you are still fantasizing about mass production?"

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed displeased, Xiahou Dun quickly said, "I understand, I understand, I'll take a look..."

After saying this, Xiahou Dun looked at the map carefully and then said, "My lord, look here. If we set up defenses here, Lujiang and other places can be defended."

"You see, this place is also very close to Shouchun. It is at odds with Xuzhou and Xiaopei. If you advance, you can go down to the Lujiang River, and if you retreat, you can stay in Shouchun. If this big river can be dug, a large amount of water can be stored here. military!"

When Cao Cao heard Xiahou Dun's strategy, he narrowed his eyes and was quite satisfied. He looked at the counselors with his hands behind his back and asked, "What do you think of Yuan Rang's defense deployment?"
