Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2228 Interesting, boring

Taixing five years.

March.

Cao Cao summoned a group of ministers in Yecheng to discuss the battle in Yuyang.

Cao Cao looked at the high platform in the distance that had stopped working, and remained silent for a while.

It was built when Yuan Shao was alive, but it was not completed when Yuan Shao died.Cao Cao originally planned to continue to build it, but now it has stopped.

On the one hand, it is because there is no money, and on the other hand, it is because Cao Cao suddenly finds it boring...

Before Cao Cao wanted to continue building the high platform, it was Cao Cao who wanted to prove something to Yuan Shao, and it was Cao Cao who wanted to show something to those who chose Yuan Shao back then, but now these are meaningless, so naturally there is no need to continue building .

In comparison, Cao Cao hated these people in Jizhou even more.

This kind of disgust is not because these Jizhou people chose Yuan Shao at the beginning, nor is it just that the Jizhou people are obedient and obedient, but these guys in Jizhou think that Jizhou is their home territory, and they take it for granted...

"What is the fault of a big family of nobles who have been in business until today?" 』Cao Cao was wearing a brocade court dress, with a total of five layers inside and outside.The innermost one is a moon-white gown, which is exposed at the neckline, and the outermost one is a red and black embroidered gold crown, and with a crown on her head, she is not angry and majestic, with an extraordinary bearing, sitting in the middle, Looking at Guo Jia at the side, he said slowly, "After Xiaowu?I remember that when Xiaowu was Xiaowu, there were especially big households who were worried about the country and asked to contribute to the war...』

Today is the agreed time, perhaps the opening of the final play.Of course Cao Cao had to wear formal attire.The same is true for Guo Jia, except that everyone else has to go to the main courtyard, while Guo Jia can come to Cao Cao first.Cao Cao is more or less a big leader, of course he is the last one to go, if the leader waits for the participants to come one by one at the other side of the venue, what is the matter?

Before you do, there are options.

After doing it, there is no choice.

Guo Jiagong cupped his hands and said, "Maybe Mayi is the beginning." 』

"Ma Yi..." Cao Cao sighed.Cao Cao is naturally familiar with this period of history, but he also heard Guo Jia's subtext, so he glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao thinks that there is a king of Ji, Nie Hu?" 』

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Wang, Nie Moxuyou...Ma Yi is already..."

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia, frowned and said, "Following the meaning of filial piety means that you will definitely lose?" 』

Guo Jia hesitantly said, "Duke Ming... defeating a tile is easy for a dog, but falling into a tiger is hard... the one who is worried about something is only the Duke of Ming..."

"Um.Someone knows it.But the fierce tiger...the fierce tiger..." Cao Cao raised his head, "Ma Yi...haha, Ma Yi...you must try it at last! 』

Before Mayi, the relationship between the great Han and the Xiongnu was mainly based on marriage, but after Mayi, it has entered into the basic theme of war...

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also looked at Cao Cao.

A guard soldier came to report that all the participants had arrived...

Cao Cao waved his hand to show that he understood.

"Since hussars can do it..." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "So can a certain one!"It must be known that the bravest man in the world is not a hussar! 』

Guo Jia was silent and just prostrated himself on the ground.

Cao Cao stood up, walked to Guo Jia, pulled him up, then patted Guo Jia's arm, turned around, tightened the jade belt around his waist, and walked out proudly.

Guo Jia followed behind Cao Cao, lowered his head, mixed with the other followers, but his heart was churning.

Some of Guo Jia agreed with Cao Cao's ideas, and some opposed them.Guo Jia thinks that Cao Cao's layout is too big, and with a big board, all kinds of accidents are prone to occur, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. Although Guo Jia has tried his best to help Cao Cao think about it and check for gaps, it is uncontrollable after all. There are too many factors, even Guo Jia cannot guarantee that the strategy will be successful...

Guo Jia raised his head slightly, glanced at Cao Cao who was walking ahead, then lowered his eyelids, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Now that Yuyang is falling, the Xianbei tribes invaded and robbed the border, and many people in Youzhou were killed, some of them were Minzhi.Now I want to raise my troops to attack it and save Youzhou from fire and water, how about it? 』Cao Cao looked around and said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the audience looked at Cui Yan.

Cui Yan is like a wood carving, sitting still.

Li Pan gritted his teeth, stood up straight, cupped his hands and said: "Ming Gong is here.Today, if the scroll armor advances lightly and drives Youbei for a long time, it may be difficult to achieve success!If you are sick, you will run out of food, and if you are in a hurry, you will be short of profit. What's more, at present, the spring plowing is not young, the crops are not growing, and the warehouses and granaries everywhere are empty. It is really difficult to continue the war!I hope Ming Gong thinks twice! 』

"It's wrong for Li to say that! Guo Jia retorted, "It's not that we are driving far into the desert, nor that we will never retreat after a wave of battle, but that Yuyang, the northern hub of Jizhou, is in danger!"Only by winning, can Jiyou be peaceful and peaceful, and if you lose, Youbei will fall, and Jizhou will also be in trouble!Therefore, there is only one battle! 』

"Dare to ask about Jijiu, how many troops and food are needed in Yuyang now that there are so many bandits in Yuyang, not to mention that they may not be able to win!"If such money, food and soldiers are used to strengthen the frontier defense of Jizhou, the Hu thieves will not be able to farm, and they will not last long, and they will retreat after a long time! Li Pan said, "At that time, you will be able to recover the lost ground lightly, just like turning your palms. Why do you have to mobilize teachers and mobilize people now, but you can't get merit?" 』

"Sending troops may not necessarily lead to complete victory, but if we sit back and watch, we will definitely lose completely!" ’ Guo Jia said categorically, ‘If Yuyang falls and the people lose their lives, will Li Zong take the responsibility? 』

"what! Li Pan stared at Guo Jia, cursing inwardly, turned his head and did not answer Guo Jia's words, but cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, the minister was born in Ji and grew up in Ji, so he should take care of the safety of Jizhou As far as!If there are any inappropriate words, please forgive me, my lord...』

Guo Jia sneered, he knew what Li Pan meant.Of course, most of the people present also understood what Li Pan meant, but it was meaningless if they understood what Li Pan said, but Li Pan just said it.

Cao Cao looked up at Li Pan, "Ai Qing's words...doesn't send troops to save Yuyang? 』

Li Pan was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "This is my humble opinion..."

"Hmm..." Cao Cao replied noncommittally, and then looked at the others, "Dear dears, if you have any opinions, you may wish to share them. 』

Hua Xin cupped his hands slightly, "My lord.Li Engeng's words may be biased, but he has good intentions. The affairs of the military are the greatness of the country, so we must not be careless.Now Yuyang is chaotic and the battle situation is anxious. If you don't know the enemy and the enemy, you don't know the danger. If you send troops rashly, you are afraid of going against the way of a military strategist.It's better to delay sending troops and wait and see the changes in the situation. After it becomes clear, it will not be too late to fight again... I hope the Lord will learn from you. 』

Cao Cao also hummed without saying anything, then turned to look at Cui Yan, and said, "What does Ji Gui think?" 』

Cao Cao called the roll call, Cui Yan could not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he cupped his hands and said very calmly: "Guo Jijiu's words are to save the people of Yuyang. It is for the peace and stability of Jizhou, and there is no fault. What Hua Shizhong said is to take the strategy of holding the middle, and not to be partial... Therefore, I ask the Lord Qiankun to decide what strategy to adopt...』

"Hehe..." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled.

Cao Cao stood up slowly, and everyone waited in awe.

"If you fight, if you can't win the battle, it's a certain fault..."

"If you keep it, the loss of the land is the fault of a certain..."

"If you wait, you will miss the opportunity, and it will be a certain fault..."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, squinted his eyes, and looked around at the crowd, "I consulted all the ministers but couldn't make a decision, hesitating, it's my fault... Everyone, do you think so?" 』

For a time, everyone was shocked!

Some people like the straightforward, straight and white kind, preferably with some pinkness... Uh, it's crossed, um, some people are used to fighting in the subtext, and like the hazy feeling , I despise the kind of people who insist on showing the black hair between the two lumps of flesh on the chest...

Generally speaking, these two types of people just look at each other and hate each other.

In most cases, the two types of people will go their separate ways, and if they disagree, they should just be safe.But suddenly one day, the straightforward jumper came out, stopped everyone, and accused those turning corners too brain-intensive and not smooth at all, everyone should be like me, let's resist the twists and turns together!

Or those who like to turn corners raised their signs angrily, and publicly criticized those who were straightforward as a piece of intestines leading to the bottom, and there was a smell of excrement from top to bottom...

Interesting?

Bored.

Just like at the moment, once Cao Cao is poked out now, everyone will be bored.

"The minister is guilty!Please forgive me, my lord...』

Cui Yan fell to the ground, followed by a large group of people, "I am incompetent and cannot share the Lord's worries, please forgive me..."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Guilty?What is the crime?The crime of blunt innocence?If a certain person is punished, you can just hang up the crown and go away, so that you can avoid the army and disaster, get away with it, and get away safely?Secondly, it is possible to criticize Qing theory and gain reputation? 』

Everyone lowered their heads.Oops, the lord pulled it so cleanly, uh, it made it so clear, how embarrassing it is...

Cao Cao put away his smile, then said in a deep voice, "Cui Jigui! 』

Cui Yan shivered slightly, and answered with cupped hands, "The minister is here." 』

"Today's discussion will be presided over by you!"When it comes to war, peace, or other things, it's up to you to decide! ”Cao Cao looked around, “Eating the emperor’s salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor!”Everyone is here, all the food and drink you need should be ready, just tell the servants to do it!I will wait for the good news from all of you! 』

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he shook his hands and left.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

Cui Yan's heart sank...

Originally, Cui Yan thought that Cao Cao was going to be the main battle, so he deliberately let more people come, so as to form a bigger momentum when necessary, and to prevent some possible situations from happening, but Cui Yan What Yan didn't expect was that Cao Cao would do something like this!
Or...

Cui Yan straightened up and stared at the smiling Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao really has a clever plan..."

"Don't dare..." Guo Jia smiled, "If Brother Cui is too timid to take charge, you can ask the lord to resign immediately..."

"you! Cui Yan stared, and then almost immediately, he laughed, leaving Guo Jia alone and turning his head to the crowd, "Everyone, since the lord has entrusted the important task to a certain person, a certain one will be disrespectful... …Now we are talking about Yuyang, what should we do? Please express your opinions! 』

Li Pan was the first to say, "Don't fight!"Now that Jizhou is exhausted, the granaries are empty, and the spring plowing is not over, how can there be spare energy to fight against it?Even if you want to fight, don't be in a hurry, you can strictly guard the pass, and it's not too late to find a fighting opportunity after the harvest of this autumn's grain! 』

"Of course!Now focus on spring plowing! 』

"The most important thing in the country is in the country! 』

"If there is no food and grass to continue, what power will the soldiers have? 』

"Don't fight, don't fight, plow hard, plow hard! 』

Cui Yan smiled slightly, then moved his eyeballs towards Guo Jia, but seemed to see Guo Jia still smiling, and his heart skipped a beat. After pondering for a moment, he turned his head and asked, "I don't know." What is Guo Jijiu's opinion? 』

"war! 』Guo Jia spat out a word.

Cui Yan hesitated, "What's the reason?" 』

Guo Jia smiled, "Someone has already said that. 』

Cui Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, "Guo Jijiu, this is a military and national event, how can it be trifling!" 』

Guo Jia also nodded, "What Cui Biejia said is true, how can it be child's play?" 』

"Humph! 』Seeing that Guo Jia was not going to move, Cui Yan simply ignored it, and then discussed for a while, and asked people to list everyone's opinions one by one, and then sent them to the inner hall for Cao Cao to have a look.

Cui Yan glanced left and right.

People around all paid their respects to Cui Yan.

Cui Yan knew that, to a certain extent, Guo Jia's attitude was Cao Cao's attitude, but Cui Yan still chose the military policy of defending Jizhou, and did not agree to send troops to Yuyang.Whether it's Li Pan's remarks or Hua Xin's remarks, they are actually the same, and this is also the attitude of the entire Jizhou gentry.

During the first Youzhou War, the Jizhou gentry were fooled into beating Gongsun with Yuan Shao, but after beating the Jizhou people, they didn’t see any benefits. All fools knew that they would not fall in the same place, and the Jizhou gentry’s children naturally didn’t Willing to fall into the second Youzhou war.

Since Cao Cao asked Cui Yan to come up with a deliberation result, then Cui Yan presented the result.

This is the "public opinion" in Jizhou!
Not long after, the person sent to the inner hall came out with somewhat strange expressions.

"how? ’ Cui Yan asked.

"Cao Gong has training, everyone listen carefully! 』The servants in the inner hall did not ask Cui Yan directly, but stood in the hall directly, and unfolded Cao Cao's instructions.

"My lord, listen respectfully. 』Cui Yan and others all lowered their hands and listened.

"In the past, the Marquis of the Jin Dynasty restored the false way to Yu to attack Guo.Gong Zhiqi remonstrated, saying, "Guo is also the watch of Yu."When Guo perishes, Yu must follow.Today's great Han is secluded and Ji, but it is like Guo and Yu!The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the assistant.Today's people in Youbei are guarding the border with cold armor, fighting hard to guard the gate, if they don't help, will they betray Mingde? 』

"Jizhou scholar Cui, together with Li and Hua's generation, refused to help the people of Youzhou, and stood idly by. They used the name of Chungeng, pleaded Zhuanghe, and dared to ask the lives of the people in Youzhou.You can abandon Youzhou today because of Zhuanghe, but why will you abandon Dahan tomorrow? 』

Halfway through hearing this, Cui Yan already knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and worshiped, and the rest of the people also knelt down one after another.

Guo Jia smiled, and did not stay any longer, but made a slight gesture with Cao Cao's servant, and then walked out of the hall.Anyway, he is the main combat faction, and he can't talk to these Jizhou peace faction. After getting the preliminary results, he naturally doesn't need to stay any longer.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't even think about discussing something with Cui Yan and others. A few days ago, Cao Cao had already sent Cao Jun in Qingzhou and the northern part of Jizhou to advance in two directions, playing the banner of supporting Youzhou in a big way, and slowly to Youzhou. The order to advance north.

Guo Jia looked back, Cui Yan and others were still kneeling on the ground...

The next step is to let these people sign the military order to ensure that Qiuqiu will receive taxes?Since these people say that they want to reclaim Zhuanghe, they can't just talk about it, so how much it is, how much it is cultivated, and how much it will be harvested in autumn, naturally become the standard for judging these people.

Headed by Cui Yan, these people from Jizhou will be divided into farming officers in charge of various regions in Jizhou, who will be responsible for agricultural crops...

Presumably at this time, Chen Qun and the others are almost here.

"Hey..." Guo Jia exhaled lightly.

Interesting?

In a way, it's not entirely uninteresting.

After all, Cao Cao started from the beginning of the layout, using Jingzhou's migration as an introduction, just to clean up the power of the children of the Jizhou gentry at this moment!

But doing so is also dangerous.

Due to the situation, Cui Yan and others will definitely complete the task of obtaining taxes in autumn this year no matter what. Even if they sell everything, they will get their share of responsibility. That is to say, Cao Cao will get a relatively satisfactory income today, but In the coming year, Cui Yan and others did not sign anything, and Cui Yan and others will not be so stupid as to continue to stay, most of them will definitely leave...

Although it is said that people from Yuzhou take over these jobs, there may not be any problems in administrative affairs, but in terms of subsequent food income and sources of soldiers, Jizhou will definitely be affected. At the same time, Yuzhou and Jizhou are bound to be in the same situation ...

So, in the end, is this thing interesting?

It's not exactly interesting either.

After Cao Cao compromised with Xun Yu and other Yuzhou people, it was impossible to continue to compromise with Jizhou people, because everyone knew that if he compromised with everything, he might end up compromising himself.However, Cao Cao's practice of tearing down the east to make up for the west made Guo Jia feel quite worried.

Cao Cao wanted to strengthen his control over these gentry children like the hussars, but he didn't do so much preparatory work and various foreshadowings in advance like the hussars, so now it's done with real knives and real guns. Sometimes, it is natural to feel that it is not lubricated enough.

This dryness comes from many aspects, the most important factor of which is talent, or the monopoly of talent that the current gentry class has formed, and the monopoly of talent comes from the monopoly of knowledge.Only these people can be used, so they will inevitably be restrained by these people.

monopoly……

This is the new vocabulary of hussars that Guo Jia learned in Chang'an.

Interesting.

Ridges, hills and ridges.The taller one is called Qiulong.Zhou Li commented that it is also true that the mounds and the earth were sealed as hills and ridges.

Where is the place where the tomb was built and where the soil was sealed?
Now it is monopolized and cut off, but the tomb is absolutely sealed.

Ha ha.

For some reason, Guo Jia really wants to drink now.
