Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1464

"Jiangdong..."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, spat 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?

Cao Cao's original 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 the time being..." Cao Cao waved his hand, and let a black-clothed official step back first.

Cao Cao walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and then said in a deep voice, "Come here! Please come here 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 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 had 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 golden treasures... Fuck also sent General Qiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Mojin to reveal everything they have gone through..."

Saying that Cao Cao collected military funds by stealing graves and digging graves is certainly exaggerated and slanderous, but it is also groundless, and it is 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, and without much foreshadowing, he directly talked about Jiangdong's affairs, expressing his worries about 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 major military matter, so why not call a group of ministers to discuss it together, but call Guo Jia alone to answer the question?
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 much involvement, just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty liked to promote some poor family children 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, "My lord, why worry about it? He is light and unprepared, quick-tempered and resourceful. He is the brave ear of a 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 bowed and said, "It's your duty..."

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

I don't know how to feel sad when I am young, but I feel that officials are good. If I want to go upstairs, go upstairs, silk, satin and fine wine are indispensable, and I will embrace the scenery.

In 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 cup, stretched his hand forward, and said to the void in the air: "Let's respect you for a cup! Drink victory! Drink victory..." After finishing speaking, he gulped it down, and then spit out A long breath of alcohol.

"...What's the matter..." Xun Yu walked in from outside the courtyard, and saw Guo Jiatan sitting and drinking at a glance, frowned slightly, and said with some disdain, "...the sky is still bright, so you're drinking? Are you really ...not even food?"

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 roasted leg of lamb!" Guo Jia shouted later, "You don't need anything else, but roasted 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.The attendant bent down and 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 boards in front of the hall seemed to be loose, and there was a creaking sound when he stepped on them.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 Jiujue and said, "The money originally used for repairs...uh, I took it to drink... Anyway, it was repaired, and it might break again at any time. It's better not to build……"

Xun Yu: "..."

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

Guo Jia paused holding Jiu Jue's hand, 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 drank.

"..." 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 a murderer to assassinate Duke Qin...The princes were all afraid, so Liu Jingzhou encircled and attacked...Now if others know, We also behaved in the same way, how could we not be as good as Yuan Gonglu? Not right, I must find the lord, so I must persuade you not to do this..."

Xun Yu was about to stand 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, do not do unto others as you would have them do to you, is to say this. 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 glass of wine, and said, "...My lord, it's a helpless move... Let's hear someone say..."

Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to have realized something, leaning on the table, sat down again, tidied up the crooked robes that Guo Jia had pulled, 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 benefits of this strategy outweigh the disadvantages... Wen Ruo thinks, if Yuan Gonglu is destroyed, we will continue It’s better to march 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 sighed slightly, looked at the wine bar 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 betrayed the revolution after Yuan Shu and sought his own interests. Although some people think it is not an act of loyalty, most people will 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 can't be relieved.

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

And there is Yuan Shao...

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. If you don't return to the army, won't the rear base that you have worked so hard to manage 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 for 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 method is somewhat 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, "It's... alas... It's always right...not to mention, apart from Jiangdong, it's also There is 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 wryly, turned his head and looked outside the hall, and after a long time, he sighed slowly...
