Chapter 520 Cao Cao Runs Away

"I can't live this life!" After returning to the barracks, Li Ming directly complained, "I used to hide the method of practicing qi like a treasure, but now it's a good thing. I'm ashamed to say that the upper limit is the low-grade Huang-level kung fu!"

"Cao Cao has indeed broken the rules. There are not many mysterious-level cheats, so he insists on passing down the top-rank Huang-level ones. In the end, is he forced to start with the mysterious-level kung fu?" Zhang Mo also said agree.

"Perhaps he trained tiger and leopard cavalry officers as reserve officers?" Wang Yu didn't comment, "Don't you know, my lord, that if you really want to start with Xuan-level exercises, then in the future, senior officers may not You have to be from a powerful family! The subordinates even suspect that there is a conspiracy in letting the tiger and leopard rider practice the top-grade yellow-level kung fu."

"Old Cao can't even see this!" Li Ming shook his head, "He is not someone who is willing to be controlled by an aristocratic family!"

"That can only show that he has to compromise with the family for certain interests!" Guo Jia said suddenly, "For example, in terms of money and food, it may also be in terms of power. Yanzhou is the place where the Fourth World War was fought, and Yuan Shao in the north is in Keep expanding the sphere of influence, if he doesn't expand as soon as possible, then sooner or later he will be trapped in Yanzhou and become a dead end!"

"That's not surprising!" Wang Yu felt that this explanation was also reasonable. "Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou this time, avenging his father is naturally one aspect. The key is that he has been coveting the grain production area of ​​Xuzhou for a long time. Maybe not, Xiapi County and Guangling County are probably not too hungry, but we have already killed them before attacking."

"It is said that our agricultural technology should have been stolen by them a long time ago. Why can't the food keep up?" Li Ming looked to the north with great interest, which is where Shan County is.

"I have to say that my lord is very lucky. Most of the land has not been developed in such a wild place in the south of the Yangtze River, and because of the war, a large number of refugees flocked here, and the aristocratic family couldn't grab it at all." Wang Yu looked angrily. Xiang Li Ming, "You know, the right time, place and people are right. Without any of them, your new agricultural concept cannot be promoted at all. Especially the fact that using workshops and caravans to restrain those aristocratic families allows you to cross the line. As for other places Princes, they are not so lucky!"

This is not a joke. Now let alone the Central Plains region, even the Guanzhong region, the imperial court intends to promote new agricultural technologies and new agricultural concepts, but the resistance of local aristocratic families is very severe.Needless to say, people in Hebei don't like rice that tastes a little sweet. They prefer thick-flavored noodle cakes, which are of course better than corn.

Wheat was widely planted in Hebei, and the planting range of corn began to decrease.In fact, all fools know that the variety of wheat has not yet reached the best level, and the yield cannot keep up with the mature corn. But this is just right, and the price of food will increase a lot.

"A bunch of trash who just want to sit and collect money!" Li Ming commented on those aristocratic families.In fact, everyone knows that the attention of the aristocratic family is actually in the officialdom and the battlefield. They need a lot of time and resources to study and train. In addition, trade is risky, so they prefer to collect land rent, which is a relatively stable way to make money.

However, even Wang Yu couldn't refute Li Ming's words. After all, the latter created a business myth in Yangzhou.

The two sides had a stalemate outside Shan County for two days, but Cao Cao didn't go out of the city for a day, which made Li Ming very surprised. Both sides lost a lot of soldiers, but it was not yet the time of injury, so he still said that Cao Cao felt sorry for him. Did the thousand tigers and leopards who died in battle ride?
"Send someone to scold the city!" Wang Yu gave orders to his cronies, and naturally some people went up and scolded them. They yelled out all the harsh words. As a result, the gates of Shan County were still closed, and Cao Cao never left the city anyway. mean.

But then an arrow shot out, almost killing the soldier.Fortunately, Wang's imperial guards were already powerful, so they reacted the moment the arrow was shot, and rolled to avoid it, just looking a little embarrassed.

"Isn't that Xiahoudun? Where did Lao Cao go?!" Li Ming looked towards the top of the city and shouted there.At this moment, the guard of Shan County is Xiahou Dun, but there is no trace of Cao Cao, so Li Ming can't help being a little suspicious.

"Where is the lord going, how does my subordinate know? Li Zhoumu, is it really okay if you don't go back to Xiapi to have a look? I heard that Yuan Shu is eyeing Peijun recently!" Xiahou Dun replied with a big smile.

"Have you heard from Yuan Shu? It is said that if he is really Chen Bing Peijun, Wen Ji who stayed behind in Xiapi must not report to him!" Li Ming looked at Wang Yu, who shook his head.

"Could it be that Xiahou Dun lied to me? After all, does this mean that Lao Cao is really no longer in Shan County?!" Li Ming thought carefully about Xiahou Dun's words, and finally reacted suddenly, "But the question is, where did Lao Cao go?"

Immediately, Jia Xu was recruited and directly ordered: "I need information on Yanzhou and Peijun during this period, how soon?"

"If there is urgent information, then my subordinates will receive it within two days. If I ask for the information on my own initiative, it will take a day or two to send the order, and then it will take a day or two for them to organize and send it back. !” Jia Xu clapped his hands back.

At this time, a soldier hurried into the camp and handed Jia Xu a booklet.The latter looked at it, but before finishing it, another soldier hurried into the tent and handed him a note.

"It seems that there is no need to send it out, and the general situation is already understood by the subordinates." Jia Xu briefly glanced at the information, which was written in cipher text, so except for a few people, they couldn't understand the ghostly symbols on it at all.

After finishing speaking, he raised the note in his hand and said slowly: "Pei County sent back a message, Yuan Shu and Chen Bing Pei County, perhaps when we received this information, they had already captured several cities."

At the same time, he picked up the small book in the other hand and continued: "Cao Cao retreated, leaving only a small number of troops in Xuzhou to consolidate his current territory. The reason is that Zhang Miao betrayed him. When he left Yanzhou, Lu Bu was introduced into Yanzhou and promoted to the position of Mu in Yanzhou. The whole territory of Chenliu County, Dongjun County and some cities in Jiyin County have fallen into the hands of Lu Bu. Now Lu Bu has moved into Puyang County, the seat of Dongjun County, and is attacking Cao Cao's stronghold Juancheng!"

"Ha, so the old nest was stolen?" Li Ming laughed suddenly, "Should we take over Donghai County?"

"Yuan Shu's army is very likely to attack Xiapi County. Besides, we don't have such a large resource reserve, so we are allowed to take such a big profit! Xiapi County and Guangling County are already our limit this year!" Wang Yu Solemnly advised.

"You can do whatever you want. After all, you are General Zhenbei, and I will leave all the military affairs here to you!" Li Ming laughed.

After a pause, he continued to ask: "Then what do we do now? Go back and fight Yuan Shu?!"

"There is no need for this!" Guo Jia stepped forward, "Yuan Shu doesn't dare to fight us again in the short term. Their goal is only Pei County. We only need to send troops to station in Xiapi City. At this stage, our army rations are not enough. It’s convenient to fight a protracted battle, my lord, maybe we can accept it as soon as it’s good.”

"Forget it, if you don't enjoy the fight enough, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao will be taken advantage of!" Li Ming also knew the reason why he couldn't fight a protracted war, his face blushed, and he directly gave the order to withdraw his troops.

The large army began to retreat, and Xiahou Dun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.If Li Ming went crazy and launched an attack at this moment, he really couldn't defend Donghai County.

　The inertia of history probably means this.
