Chapter 789 You Can Take Hanoi First

"By the way, what do you think about the matter of Nuan Dong?" Wang Yong's eyes were a little piercing, and Cao Cao quickly changed the subject.

"It's good to have less people being frozen to death. Especially during this period, there are quite a few refugees coming from Hebei and Guanzhong. It seems that there are also many people going north from Jiangdong..." Wang Yong thought about it.

"I'm not talking about this issue..." Cao Cao pursed his lips, "I mean, there may be a plague of locusts next year. And because of the weather, it is very likely that the autumn harvest will be harvested in a month, and the production will be reduced to a certain extent."

"Reducing production will inevitably reduce production. After all, we have invested in rectifying rivers, repairing and expanding diversion canals this year. In the final analysis, we have insufficient investment in irrigation systems. This year's funds are largely used as military expenses." Wang Yong. replied.

After a pause, he continued: "As for the locusts, it doesn't matter. Some guys who were addicted to eating locusts in the past seem to have begun to consider whether to artificially raise locusts."

This is no joke. After the locust plague, the price of locusts began to rise. After all, the cost of catching wild locusts is not generally high.Not to mention that it is difficult to catch, the key is not enough to eat, so some people have begun to consider whether to artificially breed locusts to meet the needs of diners.

"The locust dish developed to solve the locust plague back then has developed into a system..." Cao Cao was also speechless. Of course, if the locusts were fried, she felt that the taste... seemed to be okay.

During the critical period, Xiahou Dun's troops greatly improved the quality of soldiers by taking a large amount of locust powder.However, the follow-up locust powder could not keep up, so after negotiation, it was changed to a cup of soy milk every day.In fact, milk may be better and can supplement some calcium, but the price is obviously too high, so it is not suitable for procurement as military supplies.

"By the way...doesn't it seem like it happened three or four years ago?" Cao Pi interrupted, why do you have to talk about what happened three or four years ago as if it was a long time?
"Such a feeling like this, the little kid probably doesn't understand..." Wang Yong joked.

"You seem to be only in your twenties!" Cao Pi pushed back, "You are not a few years older than me!"

"No, no, I suspect that your mental age is only three years old." Wang Yong complained.

"I think you are more like a child! You still act like an old man, but you have to care about every detail with me, a young man!" Cao Pi directly launched a big move.

"Cough...Pi'er...It's afternoon tea time now, I don't want any disputes, it will make the tea taste bad." Cao Cao reminded from the side, and then slowly picked up the teacup.

"So... Mother, please take a good look at the documents when you have time, I'll go back first." Cao Pi obviously came to submit the documents before, and then came to help out, but now there is no reason to stay, so he simply said goodbye and left.

"She is not like this at home and outside, why does she insist on arguing every time she meets you?" Cao Cao sighed, why it was Wang Yong.

"'Outsiders' and 'mother's remarriage partner' will certainly not be treated the same." Wang Yong said helplessly, "After the tax rate change, the imperial court's income has increased, and maybe after the autumn harvest, when winter has not yet arrived, or the warm winter The land is not that hard, and corvée was launched for infrastructure construction..."

"Your suggestion is good, but the question is...is it okay for you?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong.

"Recently, I have been able to control my thinking a little bit, and don't let it diverge randomly. No, I only think about it if you ask me something, instead of thinking casually without purpose. Moreover, thinking up to the next step, will not Think too much." Wang Yong replied that he had done a good job of controlling his emotions.

"Since you're fine, I'm relieved." Cao Cao nodded, "What I'm thinking about now is not about infrastructure. There is one thing I really care about about Yuan Shao's thoughts, and that is Hanoi County!"

After a pause, he said slowly, "If I remember correctly, the prefect of Hanoi County is now Zhang Yang, right? And it seems that he has not surrendered to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao wants to attack from Hanoi, Zhang Yang probably won't be able to bypass it."

This old man originally dominated Shangdang, but Yuan Shao was defeated when he attacked Bingzhou, and then went to Hanoi County.At that time, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, had already been attacked by Cao Cao and was defeated and killed. It seemed that this happened before he came to this world.

Originally, it was Emperor Xian who returned to Luoyang in history, Zhang Yangcai led his army to Hanoi, and then separated there.Liu Xie disappeared in this world for a while, but Zhang Yang finally ruled Hanoi.It's just a little bit, which means that the name is not right.

"According to the history of the Three Kingdoms, the lord has brought Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Shi Huan to attack Hanoi. But after I traveled to this world, there were side effects. You didn't take the time to take down Hanoi County. In fact, considering the safety of Sizhou, Hanoi took It's better to come down. As for why Yuan Shao still launched an attack...they are short of food, probably because of this." Wang Yong began to think, and then raised his head and answered after a while.

"So that's the case, so is what you said." Cao Cao thought for a while after hearing the words, and then he understood.Yuan Shao was short of food, but Zhang Yang probably had food.When Yuan Shao attacked Hanoi, he happened to get some supplies there.It is estimated that Zhang Yang would not have thought that Yuan Shao would send troops to Hanoi, and it would be too late to fortify the walls and clear the fields.

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao went south, then he would definitely fortify the wall and clear the country, and she might not be able to get food.

"In this case, it is even more necessary to attack Hanoi... The Yanzhou Army can secretly transfer to Guandu to garrison, and at the same time send Li Dian and Le Jin to command troops, and take Cao Xiu's cavalry to attack Hanoi County...or let Nanyang's defenders The army goes north to attack Hanoi County, which do you think is better?" Cao Cao thought for a while.

"My lord, I'm just a cook." Wang Yong felt that the next question was not what he should answer.

"Let's discuss it with me in private. Ang'er has been stationed in Nanyang for a while, but there is basically no movement from Liu Biao's side. If it continues, then he is nothing more than getting his resume there..." Cao Cao said in a low voice.

The meaning is very clear, that is, she intends to use this opportunity to let Cao Ang make a wave of military exploits.After all, the court is now the court, and Cao Cao is Cao Cao. Even if Cao Ang is Cao Cao's son, he must abide by the rules, and he cannot be promoted just because he is promoted.

Without military merit, even if you have enough experience, you have to rank behind military merit.This is the conclusion reached after a day of discussion by a group of civil servants and military generals.Restore the imperial court's emphasis on military merits to inspire soldiers to fight bravely abroad.

"It's just that if Cao Ang goes north, then the military and government will be separated..." Wang Yong reminded.

The imperial government's separation of military and government is mainly aimed at the existing control area, but there is a special place, that is Nanyang County.It belongs to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is not the scope of the experiment, so Cao Ang, as the prefect of Nanyang, is in charge of the military and political power of Nanyang.

If you go north to attack Zhang Yang, not to mention the risks of the war itself, the key is that Cao Ang will definitely not be able to control the military and government together.

"That's why I need to discuss with you." Cao Cao naturally knew this too.

"Young man, you really need to practice more, don't you? It's not good to always be under the wing of your mother." Wang Yong replied.

"Okay, let him take command. After taking down Hanoi County, let him merge into the Yanzhou Army and guard there. This also means that I have to arrange another Nanyang garrison and a new prefect." Cao Cao made a decision immediately.

"My lord is going to send troops to Hanoi?" Wang Yong was curious.

"Uh... I won't go, but after the autumn harvest, we can transfer troops to take down Hanoi first." Cao Cao said confidently.
