Chapter 253: The Calm Before the Storm

PS: In the past few days, the school has a sports meeting, and the sports meeting is held before the meeting to discuss the arrangement, assign tasks, and then the sports meeting will take the new cubs who have entered the department out of their first task, teach them hand-in-hand, and they are tired of a batch, and they go to sleep directly when they return to the dormitory every day, so there is no code half a word at all, and they did not enter the palace.

No, I woke up in the middle of the night today, and by the way, I got up to code a word for everyone, and then I had to go to class at half past seven. Yes, I have to go to class on Saturday, and I go to class until half past eleven at noon, and I really want to complain about the class schedule for this semester. For the sake of working so hard today, please give me some recommendation votes. It would be even better if there were monthly passes and tips.

June 17, 4th year of Jian'an

The battle of Cao Yuan has been going on for more than a year.

From the Battle of White Horse to the Battle of the Gourd, then the Battle of Guandu Daying, and then to the later Qingzhou Raid and the Xuzhou Defense Battle, there are countless small battles.

For more than a year, even if the two high-speed machines of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun have a deep background, they can't help but make the ministers on both sides a little worried.

Cao Jun seems to have won more and lost less, but the statistical losses have already made Cao Cao a little painful. Moreover, Baima, Yanjin and other lands south of the Yellow River were captured by the Yuan army, and the people in these lands either left their homes or died in the war, which was very unfavorable to the governance of the Cao army after the war.

As for the Yuan army, the loss of troops was huge. From nearly one to three before the war to nearly one to two today, the loss of troops is too many, which is not conducive to the future development of Yuan's army.

Cao Jun Tuntian, since Cao Jun promulgated the two policies of Jun Tun and Mintun, grain and grass are piled up.

In Xudu County alone, there are more than one million grains and grass obtained through Juntun and Mintun a year.

It must be known that before the Tang Dynasty, Hu was the common name of the folk for stone, which means that Xudu County had more than one million stone of grain and grass income a year.

Of course, according to the system of four officials and six officials of the people and seven officials of the army in the Tuntian system, Cao Cao received 600,000 or 700,000 stone of grain and grass, which was the ration of 10,000 troops for two years in non-war time, and at the same time, the people and the soldiers of the Tuntian army also benefited from it, and they were more supportive of Cao Cao and the Tuntian system.

What about Yuan Jun, Hebei, or Jizhou, this is one of the granaries of the world. Even in the relatively barren annexed states, Yuan Jun's warehouses were piled up with mountains of grain, which were no less than Cao Jun's reserves.

However, the aim of both sides is to dominate, not just to defeat their rivals. The battle of reunification is a matter of seizing the day, so both the Cao army and the Yuan army must reserve the grain and grass for sending troops against other princes after the war, at least a part of it must be left.

Therefore, the two sides tacitly set the decisive battle for this year.

Guandu camp, Cao Cao Shuai's tent

A group of generals and strategists in the front line of the Cao army gathered in this small camp.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Man Chong, Liu Ye and other strategists stood on the left side; Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Li Tong and other generals stood on the right side; Xu Chu stood behind Cao Cao, and Dian Wei stood behind Guo Jia.

The matter of the position of civil and military standing is different from one dynasty to another.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, civil officials were on the left and military attaches on the right. In Chinese history, since the Song Dynasty, they have all been civil and military officials, and they are officials of the same rank, and civil officials are one level greater than military officials. And the Han Dynasty was left and right. Since the Han Dynasty, due to the exclusive respect for Confucianism and the respect and inferiority of the left and right, it has been arranged in accordance with the principles stipulated by Confucius: "If a gentleman lives in the house, he will be on the left, and if he uses soldiers, he will be on the right; Good things are still left, and evil things are still right".

Cao Cao looked at the civil and military forces in front of him, with a solemn expression, "Zhong Kang, pass on the Hu Ben army, no one is allowed to enter or leave within fifty steps of the big tent." ”

"No!"

Xu Chu walked to the door of the big tent and explained Cao Cao's instructions to his brother Xu Ding, who was the deputy general of the Tiger Ben Army, and Xu Ding took the order to leave.

The silence was broken, and everyone listened to Cao Cao's words, understood how important Cao Cao's words were next, and stared at Cao Cao one by one.

Cao Cao then spoke, "Everyone, a few days ago, you all knew about the movement in Yanjin. ”

The turmoil in Yanjin naturally couldn't be hidden from everyone, but Cao Cao did not explain the cause of the turmoil, and even Xi Zhicai, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan were inquired by Cao Cao, which was obviously confidential.

"The turmoil in Yanjin was done by Mingjingtang, and it was presided over by Berning himself." Cao Cao pointed to Man Chong, "Berning, say it yourself." ”

Man Chong was stunned, shook his head, and resisted a little. He has been walking in the dark for a long time, and when he encounters such a showy thing, he is a little taboo and unwilling to show his head.

Instead, Guo Jia patted Man's shoulder and encouraged, "Berning, it should be your credit, you should stand up generously and take it." ”

Man Chong still resisted a little, and Cao Cao did not force him, and opened his mouth for him.

"The turmoil in Yanjin was presided over by Bo Ning, in order to explore the place where Yuan Jun was storing grain. However, the place where the grain was stored was not in Yanjin. ”

Everyone was disappointed for a while, but the eyes of Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye lit up.

How could Cao Cao say that these meaningless things must have been found elsewhere where Yuan Jun's grain was stored.

Sure enough.

"However, after this, Boning quickly explored the sour jujube and found Yuan Jun's grain storage place in Yuanwu Town, Suozao County."

Wow!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Cao Cao and Man Chong, and their eyes were full of joy and surprise.

Xi Zhicai didn't care about the number of courtesies, grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve and asked, "Lord, is this matter serious?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Yes, Berning also got the defense map of Yuanwu Town and the list of generals and schools on duty at all times, and Yuan Jun didn't know about the exposure of the granary. All of you here are people I can trust, so I have told you this secret, and remember not to pass it on. ”

Guo Jia looked calm, after all, he and Cao Cao knew these together.

Seeing this, Xi Zhi on the side hammered Guo Jia's chest, and said angrily, "Fengxiao, you guy already knew right, but he didn't even tell me, he was really not enough friends." ”

Actually, Xi Zhicai doesn't really blame Guo Jia. After all, this is a real secret, which determines the direction of this war and the world, and I am afraid that only Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Man Chong and a few Ming Spiegel guards know.

Xi Zhicai is a bit of a taste, after all, the relationship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia, the monarch and minister, is also the first time in ancient times.

Guo Jia had to laugh with him, and asked a shameless guy to confiscate two jars of his own private wine.

There was a burst of frolic, but everyone watched the excitement and laughed.

The key to the outcome of this war has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and in the eyes of everyone, victory is already in their hands, just about to put it in their pockets. And all this depends on the performance of their generals and strategists.
