Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1290 Whole Army Four

Yudu has the prosperity of Yudu, and Xudu also has the development of Xudu.

After the beginning of spring, the weather became warmer. Cao Cao was rarely in a good mood. He dressed in casual clothes, took Guo Jia and Dian Wei, and went out for a walk.

"We Xudu, now it's a bit of a scene in Kyoto!"

Sitting on a tea stand, Cao Cao looked at the spacious street and the people coming and going, feeling very fulfilled.

Xu is a small town.

It was he who chose to make his capital here.

Only then did Xu Du have what it is today.

The refugees from the Central Plains will rush here, and the business travelers from all directions will go here. No matter how small the city is, it will be different if it has an emperor.

The refugees will feel safe here.

The caravan will sense an opportunity here.

Traveling scholars will also come here to increase their experience.

It is difficult for Xu Du to not develop.

Of course, there is also Cao Cao's endless painstaking efforts. For Xudu, he has devoted a lot of energy, step by step construction, and step by step policies, so that Xu County has become Xudu today.

"Xudu is just a small town. No matter in terms of meaning or development, the future is limited!" Guo Jia is good at splashing water, and a basin of cold water poured on Cao Cao's heart.

"Feng Xiao, you have such a mouth!" Cao Cao said with a dark face, "Can't you make someone happy?"

"Others can relax and be happy!"

Guo Jia said calmly: "Prime Minister can't!"

"I let you say everything. Who doesn't know that it is difficult for Xu Du to support the world, but in today's world, the only one I can choose is Xu Du!"

Cao Cao was helpless, not angry, but just a little upset.

What he relies on the most now is Guo Jia, worshiped as a military division to sacrifice wine, the size of the strategic deployment of the numbered army, and listed as the number one military division of the Cao army, no matter in terms of loyalty or ability, Guo Jia is the best under Cao's tent .

"Feijia doesn't want to make the lord happy, but the lord is really not happy now. Although Xudu is developing well, there is still a gap compared to Southwest Yudu!"

Guo Jia traveled to Jiangzhou when he was young, and there is not much difference between Jiangzhou and Xudu, but now Jiangzhou has become the capital of Minghou Mansion.

He could feel the horror of Yudu's development just from the information playbook of Yelou.

"Mulongtu is indeed a headache!"

Cao Cao took a sip of some throat-smoothing tea, and said, "The tea we drink now comes from the southwest. Tea is the elegance of scholars, and salt is the root of common people. Both tea and salt come from the southwest, and there are also tea in the southwest. The title of the Land of Abundance is a granary, and it is normal for him to be rich!"

The tea and salt in the Southwest have become famous all over the world recently, especially the unique Pu-erh tea in the Southwest. Compared with the tea infusions of today, there is a huge gap, and anyone who doesn't understand tea can taste it.

How many caravans from the southwest sell tea.

"It's no surprise that there is a fortune in the southwest!" Guo Jia said, "But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is people!"

"Speak carefully!"

Cao Cao said.

"If the Mu Clan's New Deal is fully implemented, the foundation of the Mu Clan will be as stable as Mount Tai. In the future, we can only strive for invincibility, but we will never win!" Guo Jia said in a low voice.

The Mu Clan's New Deal, which caused a lot of uproar last year, didn't attract too much attention at first, and they all thought that the Mu Clan might not be able to hold on.

But in the end, Mrs. Mu held on.

Moreover, everyone underestimated the power of the New Deal.

According to the news gathered in the second half of last year, the Mu Clan's New Deal is far beyond their imagination, and even has a foundation.

"Is there really such a feat?" Cao Cao gasped.

He also had some interest in the New Deal at first.

But the situation in the Central Plains is completely different. He killed a side, and lost a lot of people's hearts. If the Mu Clan's New Deal is used, Yuyanxu, the three states will be in chaos.

"My lord, it's not my alarmist words!" Guo Jia smiled wryly, "I'm afraid this is not what one of my subordinates thinks. In today's world, anyone with a little discernment will think so!"

At the beginning of the Mu Clan's New Deal, all that could be seen was destructive power, but after a while, the benefits could be seen with the naked eye.

And this is a major surgery for the world.

After the major surgery, the lesions of the former imperial court in those places will be removed, and what will be exchanged will be a new life, and the new life will be so vigorous.

"Of course!"

Guo Jia added another sentence: "It will take at least five years for the Mu family to implement the New Deal. These five years are our last chance. If the Mu family cannot be defeated within these five years, then the Mu family will After the foundation of the family is solid, our best efforts can only limit the Mu family to the west, and we will never be able to step into the west!"

The new policies of the Mu Clan have a great impact on the local area, and the greater the impact, the greater the shake in the hearts of the people. It is equal to this time, the weakest years of the Minghou Mansion.

"The latest news from Yelou, Mujing is not only carrying out the New Deal reform, but also preparing to reorganize the army?" Cao Cao asked after thinking about it.

"indeed!"

Guo Jiadao: "Mulongtu is a very courageous person. The Marquis of Ming's mansion has been conquered and fought in the north and south in recent years. The army has lost a lot of soldiers, and the morale of the army has lost a lot. Ordinary people may hold on first, but he is different. He is riding the wind!"

"Reorganizing the army is the rule of rectifying the army. Generally speaking, it is either to adjust the generals, or to reduce personnel or expand the army!"

"On the one hand, it is to re-deploy military power, which makes me feel more at ease!"

"On the other hand, it is to weaken the fighting power of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and join the fighting power of the young and strong!"

"Come and go, basically that stuff!"

"But……"

Guo Jiadao: "I do have some premonitions that the Mu family's entire army will not be so simple. Mu Jing is young, but gloomy, and goes forward bravely. His personality is eccentric and hard to fathom. Under normal circumstances, it is really hard to guess." How to do it through his heart, the most important thing is..."

He squinted, and there was a sharp light in his eyes: "No matter what he does, he is a pioneer in the world. There are some things that we dare to think about or not to do, but he dares. I am very proud of this courage and courage." I admire him!"

"In the past, I couldn't see that this man still has the intention to change the rules of the world!" Cao Cao used to be an errand under the Mu family, and he was ordered by the young emperor to kill Mu Shan, which also made him and Mu Jing have a certain relationship. intersection.

He even thinks about it often.

If Mu Jinggan could have been killed shortly after he entered Luoyang back then, wouldn't there be so many things going on later on?

"He and the big man are out of tune!" Guo Jia said softly: "Even if this beast was born in a prosperous age, it will cause a storm all over the sky!"

"That's right!" Cao Cao said, "He and I will never be friends!"

"So there is only one battle!"

Guo Jia admired him, but he was very clear about his position, Mu Jing was an enemy, an enemy he must kill.

"If you want to unify the southwest, you must first unify the north!"

Cao Cao's eyes fixed on the north: "I don't want to wait any longer, while the Mu family can't move and Jiangdong is still licking his wounds from the flood last year, let's deal with Yuan Benchu ​​first!"

Yuan Benchu's military strength was not inferior to his. In normal times, he was more inclined to defend, and slowly ground Yuan Shao to death.

He firmly believed that Yuan Shao's interior was not as good as Cao's interior.

Yuan Shao is a man who can judge people, but he can't employ them.

Under Yuan's command, there are many civil servants and military generals, but there are many conflicts among them. When Yuan Shao is strong, he can naturally suppress them, but even if he is weak, these conflicts will explode.

At that time, it was the best time for Cao Jun to attack Hebei.

Cao Cao has this patience.

But now, what Xi Zhicai said made him really impatient.

"Yuan Jun, a good general!"

Guo Jiadao: "Even if we follow the trend, it will be a protracted battle, so we have to do two things first!"

"Say!"

"First, negotiate with Liu Bei as soon as possible, and send troops at the same time, so that we can reduce the pressure on the battlefield!" Guo Jia said very quickly and concisely, but it was also in place: "Second, when going to Jiangdong, even if the Mu family has some Weakness has to be guarded. Mulongtu is the best at seizing opportunities, so we must prepare for the worst of his troops. Therefore, we must win over Jiangdong as an ally and let Jiangdong check and balance the Minghou Mansion, so we can attack with all our strength! "

"The first thing, it's not a big problem. I have a heart. I'm afraid Liu Xuande also has this heart. We have a long-distance friendship and a short-term attack. At this moment, we have a common enemy. Xu has the world. He Liu Xuande is also the emperor's uncle, standing in the Han Dynasty. From a standpoint, he will also participate in the war!"

Cao Cao analyzed and said: "Besides, I still have Guan Yu. Compared with Liu Bei and the people in the world, he is unparalleled in righteousness and righteousness. I should not give up my brother-in-law. Moreover, this beast is so fierce that it is rare today. This is a titan and a pioneer!"

Guan Yu, even if you want to let go, you have to use the waste. At least Guan Yu can kill Yuan Jun's generals, and it's best to die together.

"As for the second matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Cao Cao smiled wryly: "Jiangdong may not be willing to check and balance the Mu family for us, and last year the Mu family took advantage of the flood disaster in Jiangdong to buy people's hearts with food and grass. Jiangdong is grateful to everyone, and I am afraid that he will not easily betray them!"

"Love is great, nothing bigger than profit!"

Guo Jia shook his head: "My lord, Jiangdong and Minghou's Mansion are not allies, they are always enemies. It is difficult for us to attack Jiangdong. Jiangdong has natural dangers, and the iron chain crosses the river. It is difficult for us to move forward. However, Minghou's Mansion has an elite navy. It captured Jingzhou in the past. Reorganizing the elite navy and capturing Jiangdong is just a matter of thought. It is impossible for Jiangdong to fail to see this. I believe that as long as enough benefits are given, it is better to watch us fight than to watch the Minghou Mansion grow stronger. North!"

"It makes sense!"

Cao Cao nodded: "However, we have to send someone with some weight to go to Jiangdong, not only to show our sincerity, but also to let them know that the court is not lying!"

In today's imperial court, not many people are willing to buy it, especially the princes of all parties, but the more this is the case, the more Cao Cao wants to show the deterrent power of the imperial court.

This is in his interest.

If the emperor is useless and cannot command the princes, why is he holding the emperor hostage?

"This candidate really needs to be cautious!"

For a while, Guo Jia couldn't think of anyone coming.

"Zixiu should be in Xuzhou right now!" Cao Cao said suddenly.

"My lord, no!" Guo Jia said hastily.

"The lord is responsible for the safety of the court, but the eldest son can shake the foundation of the Cao family, so we must not let him take risks!" Guo Jia said.

"If not, how can I show my sincerity!"

Cao Cao became determined: "Let him go!"

..........................................

……

When Cao Cao was preparing for the Northern Expedition, the reorganization of the Minghou Mansion's army also entered a critical time.

The generals of all ministries rushed to Yudu at full speed.

The Privy Council became very lively, and the soldier's rough voice could be heard from a distance. Generals are not literati, and they don't know how to talk about etiquette before soldiers.

If they don't understand, they ask directly.

can not say it clearly.

Naturally they will fight.

The battle among the generals is not about reasoning like scholars, but about who has the loudest voice, so the entire Privy Council is more lively than the vegetable market.

Faced with this situation, Mujing ignored it and let it develop.

He just watched.

Let's see how long this group of generals with meritorious service can make trouble.

this day.

In his office room, Mu Jing brewed a pot of tea, held a small stove in his hand, and went down while warming his hands.

It was Li Yan who played chess with him.

Li Zhengfang.

The Mu clan's veteran minister has followed the Mu clan since Wuyin. Over the years, he has gone through many positions, involving both military and government affairs. Although he failed to enter the cabinet to participate in politics, it is only limited by his age and knowledge.

Whether it is his marching experience or his level of governance, he is good.

However, in terms of temperament, Li Yan almost.

Joining the cabinet and participating in politics, he lacked this kind of heart.

Xi Zhicai is about the same age as him, both are young, but Xi Zhicai's political level and ability are above him, so Xi Zhicai joined the cabinet, but he couldn't.

But Li Yan has one thing, which is much better than Xi Zhicai.

Li Yan's execution is strong.

"Zhengfang, have you been wronged all these years?" Mu Jing asked.

"Your Majesty, worry too much!"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "I was just a county magistrate in the past, but to be valued by the late lord, the lord entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, what an honor, what grievances do you have to say!"

"Zhaoming Pavilion, you will have a place sooner or later, it's just..."

Mu Jing is good at drawing cakes: "You need more meritorious deeds and more influence to make the world accept you, otherwise even if you are admitted to the cabinet, you will not be able to bear the burden of everyone!"

"As long as the lord has an order, the subordinates will die!" As soon as Li Yan's eyes lit up, he knew that Mu Jing had a mission to recruit him back.

"The Marquis recently reorganized the army, do you know?"

Mu Jing asked.

"You should know about this!" Li Yan said: "The major event of the whole army has touched the foundation of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and affected the hearts of countless people. The Southwest is already boiling. How can we not know it!"

"The rectification on the surface, the transfer order, and the rectification are all secondary!"

Mu Jing put down the chess pieces, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "This time, the real rectification is only for one purpose!"

"I don't know what kind of goal my lord wants to accomplish?" Li Yan asked very levelly.

"Under the Privy Council, there is a department, the Ideological and Political Department!" Mu Jing said: "Xi Zhicai was supposed to be in charge, but he doesn't know much about it, I hope you can pick up this important task! "

As he said that, he handed over some of the articles of association that he had worked so hard to write during this period, as well as some positioning of the Ideological and Political Department, to Li Yan.

"Look carefully at these things, they are very important!"

Mu Jing said: "In addition, I have to tell you that in the future, all the generals will have an additional position called instructor, and all instructors will be sent out from the Ideological and Political Department?"

"Supervisor?"

Li Yan understood this word only from Mu Jing's words.

"There is meaning in this regard, but what you said is not comprehensive!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Take all these materials back and read them carefully. After reading these materials, come to me again and decide whether you want to be the head of the Ideological and Political Department!"
