Chapter 152: Cloth

It was late at night, and those three-sect and nine-rate cow ghosts and snake gods in Luoyang City had already been sent to the places where they should go, such as the prison in the city, such as the mass graves outside the city. At this time, Kaiyang Avenue is quiet and the breeze is light.

Looking at the squire mansion, Wang Li added a trace of sorrow, his father-in-law was fine, and his brother-in-law, the famous 'Song Yu' in Luoyang City, was not unhappy except for scolding himself.

However, my fiancΓ©e disappeared, right under the noses of my father-in-law and brother-in-law, and disappeared the day before I took down Luoyang.

"Gotta get it!" A hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at the end of the avenue, Wang Li took a long breath, and the person who came had already turned over and dismounted, and walked to the side: "Your Excellency, General Cao is already waiting in the big tent!" ”

"Let's go!"

Wang Li nodded, let out a long shout, and the war horse under his crotch disappeared into Kaiyang Avenue like a sharp arrow.

……

Throwing the reins of the horse to Zhou Cang, Wang Li strode into the big tent. There was nothing in the tent, including Zhang Liao, Tian Feng and others, only one person, one table and one wine goose.

The table is a desk, the wine is good wine, but the person is a hero, the first hero in the romance, Cao Cao Cao Mengde.

Cao Cao was already sitting at the desk, and most of the wine in the goblet had gone down, and when he saw Wang Li walking into the big tent, he directly pushed the wine goblet over, and looked at Wang Li coldly: "Wang Deyu, are you stupid, or am I a fool?" ”

"What does Brother Meng De mean by this?" Wang Li took the wine and refilled Cao Cao's wine.

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao clasped his hands into fists and pinched his fingers, "By the Luoshui River outside Luoyang City, how did you Wang Deyu talk to Cao?" ”

"Anti-Dong Yishi Wei Li and Meng Deye!"

"Really? Then why did you give Qinghe to Liu Xuande today? Don't you know that Liu Xuande is just a wolf in sheep's clothing? ”

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Cao Cao had never seen Liu Bei's intentions in history, especially after Qingmei cooked wine, he even made Liu Bei a close friend, and even left Guo Jia and Cheng Yu's advice behind, and finally caused Liu Bei, a male bird, to get out of the cage and swim in the sea, and also lost a Xuzhou and died a car.

Now that Cao Cao is using this to persuade himself, is it possible that he can still give Cao Cao any function after crossing over?

Wang Li looked at Cao Cao with a smile and asked, "Li Guan, that Liu Xuande doesn't look like an ungrateful person, why did Brother Meng De say this?" ”

Cao Cao drank all the wine in the cup, put it heavily on the desk, and his eyes were like copper bells: "There is nothing weaker in the world than water, and there is no way to attack the fortifications first." It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face but not the heart. Deyu, were you stupid by Dong Thief when you were fighting Luoyang?

Liu Xuande is honest and benevolent on the surface, but in fact, he is extremely cunning and cunning, if you let Xuande be the prime minister of Qinghe, you are not afraid that one day the Qinghe River will be eroded by this flood, and the dove will occupy the magpie's nest?

And even if Liu Xuande has been rescued, but after all, it is just a passing scene, can it still be as good as the friendship between Cao and your comrades? Don't you know that Cao is also adrift now? ”

Belch?

It turned out that after saying so much, Cao Cao just wanted to get this Qinghe, and thought that his arrival had changed Cao Cao's mind, and he had already seen through Liu Xuande's scheming!

Wang Li smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Liu Xuande has no place to settle down, and Li gave him Qinghe." Brother Meng De has no place to expand his army, isn't Li here here? ”

"What do you mean? Can you still conjure up turf? ”

"Li is not the grandson monkey who made a lot of trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and there will be seventy-two changes. It is true that Wang can't change the turf, but he can accompany Brother Meng De to fight out! ”

"Hit it out?"

"Of course, if you don't play out, you can't borrow it

Why! Wang Li nodded, refilled Cao Cao with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Brother Meng De, don't be impatient, Li has a few questions I want to ask, can Brother Meng De solve a problem with Li?" ”

"Hmph, you say!" Although I don't know what the Sun monkey and the seventy-two changes are, Cao Cao doesn't want to dig deeper, but he is still angry and looks like he hates iron but not steel, he just found a like-minded colleague, how can he make a mistake in particular!

Seeing that Cao Cao was no longer temperamental, Wang Li smiled secretly: "Brother Meng De, in your minds, what is this Luoyang?" ”

"Luoyang is the capital of our Han Dynasty and the economic, cultural and political center of the world, which must be questioned?" A hint of mockery flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he looked at Wang Li lightly.

Wang Li shook his head, and then said: "Then the junior brother has a question, I swore to destroy the Dong thief and go down to Luoyang. Now that the Dong thief has been driven away, and the city has fallen, why did my Kwantung coalition army disband yesterday, and the town assassin Shi Taishou immediately waved his army back to the state and county, but this Luoyang did not stop at all? ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, the traffic extends in all directions, there are eight passes outside, and the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River are really the center of the world. However, in the years since Dong Thief was in power, he robbed and raised soldiers, and most of the military rations were robbed, and Luoyang was already riddled with holes, and the economy collapsed for thousands of miles and did not return to the prosperity of the past.

The people on whom we march and fight are only the ears of population and food. Now, Luoyang Lishu has either moved to Guanzhong or fled to another country, and now it is less than half of the population of the past. There is no food and population, how can the princes stay alone to face Dong Thief Xiliang Bingfeng?

What's more, although the Han family exists in name only, the Son of Heaven is still in Chang'an, if there is no righteousness, it will be criticized after all, and it is easy to be beaked by others, which will cause dissatisfaction from many parties! ”

"According to Brother Meng De, it is indeed not suitable for Luoyang to take root as a base camp?"

"Exactly!"

"Then if Li can solve the above problems, Brother Meng De still thinks so?" Wang Li played with the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

Cao Cao was startled and almost jumped up, and the wine cup in his hand slammed on the desk: "You mean you have a way to solve it?" ”

Wang Li nodded, and looked at Cao Cao with blazing eyes: "Li summed it up, Brother Meng De's worries are nothing more than population, food, and righteousness, right?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Okay, let's talk about the population first!" Wang Li dipped a little wine and scratched it on the desk and said, "Before Dong Thief entered Beijing, the two counties of Henan and Hanoi had a population of about 3 million. After Dong Thief entered Beijing, after more than a year of scourge and exploitation, the people of the two counties were not able to make a living, and the survivors were only three or four out of ten, but there were still about one million people, and they were close to the Central Plains County, right? ”

"Exactly! However, isn't Hanoi Wang Kuang's territory? ”

"Yes, the Taishou of Hanoi is none other than Wang Kuang. However, as far as Li knew, Wang Kuang himself had attached himself to Yuan Benchu, and wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment in Hanoi, and even beheaded his brother-in-law, Jin Wu Hu Wuban, and Wu Xun, the general of the eunuch, to show them to the public, causing trouble in Hanoi.

Although Hu Wuban, Wu Xun and others were only forced to go to Hedong on the orders of Dong Thief, but after all, Hu Wuban was one of the famous eight chefs of our dynasty, and he was actually killed by his closest relatives. Brother Meng De, how do you think such a person can hold the position of a county? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The people of Hanoi are looking forward to the rain for a long time, why don't Brother Meng De go on a trip and give the local people a timely rain? Do you still want to swing Yangzhou and hide from Qingfu? ”

Hehe, Deyu is trying to generalize my army!

Cao Cao nodded, thought about it and said, "Okay, even if according to what you said, Cao Mou waved his army in Hanoi and gained a firm foothold in Hanoi, but what about food?" Cao has no surplus food in his hands, you can't let Cao go to Hanoi empty gloves white wolf! ”

Wang Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Li has coexisted in Qinghe for more than 500,000 stones, and Li has left some odds and mediums for Xuande, and there are still 500,000 stones. Li gives it all to you, do you think it's enough? ”

"One stone per capita is not enough to count two months' rations? You're not kidding, are you? ”

"Yes, one person and one stone can barely support more than two months. But what if Li raises another 200,000 stones for you? ”

"Two hundred thousand stones? So much grain from where you came? Cao Cao looked at Wang Li in astonishment, and the words 'Lao Tzu believes in you're weird' written on his face.

Wang Li didn't care, and then scratched on the desk: "Li has checked the grain and household registration in Luoyang City, and according to the storage of each household, there are 200,000 stone ......."

Before the words fell, Cao Cao had already interrupted Wang Li's words: "It does look like 200,000 stones, but it is the rations of the people of Luoyang City, do you plan to rob it by household?" What is the difference between this and the Dong thief who suffered a thousand knives? ”

"Of course not!" Wang Li smiled and said, "The fourth and third dukes of the Hongnong Yang family are the head of the gate valve of Hongnong County, and the grain at home is piled up. Li's father-in-law, the Huangfu family, and the second uncle, Shang Shuling, can also be regarded as big households in Luoyang. You said, if Li comes to the door to fight the autumn breeze and ask them to borrow some rations, it shouldn't be too difficult! ”

"It should indeed be possible for them to raise 200,000 stone of grain, but this is only a drop in the bucket, and there is still a huge gap between our needs, right?"

"That's true, according to the abilities of Taiwei Yang, my second uncle and father-in-law, 200,000 stones are already considered to be the top of the sky!" Wang Li nodded, and then said with a sympathetic smile, "This Luoyang City is not the city of Li alone, but the city of everyone, Huang Wan, Xun Shuang, these important ministers in the court, and the rich people in Luoyang are always embarrassed to watch Li tighten his belt, right?"

What's more, when he was in Liangdong, Li Zeng saved Yingchuan Taishou Li's life, presumably if Li Ruo bought Li Yingchuan's life with 100,000 stone of grain, Li Yingchuan was still very willing, what do you say! ”

You tell me? I said your sister, let you say everything, I'm still talking about a fart!

Cao Cao sighed and continued, "In this way, our grain will be enough to support the wheat harvest at the beginning of summer!" Therefore, we only need to solve the covetousness of Xiliang's soldiers and princes! ”

"Exactly!"

"So, you plan to withdraw from Qinghe and leave the original to Gongsun Bogui and Liu Xuande?"

Wang Li nodded and said, "The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are the heroes of the world. We are waiting for the taboo to be a few people, but Dong Zhuo and Yuan Benchu. Dong Zhuo's defeat of the Three Passes, Luoyang and Han Pass was like a frightened bird, so there is nothing to worry about.

At the beginning, Yuan Benchu was trapped in the Bohai Sea, food was scarce, and he often needed to rely on the snort of Han Jizhou. Now that he has just won the position of the leader of the alliance, and he has returned to the Bohai Sea with the momentum of a great victory, it will be difficult to fill in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will be able to hope for Shu. Han Jizhou is cowardly, it seems that Jizhou will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Benchu sooner or later, how can you say that Gongsun Bogui can not be afraid? ”

"Not bad!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "If Yuan Benchu was in charge of Jizhou, it would be equivalent to hanging the sword on Xuande's head, so Han Wenjie and Liu Xuande had cold lips and teeth." Moreover, Gongsun Bogui and Xuande have a friendship with each other, once Han Wenji and Benchu are facing each other, Gongsun Bogui and Liu Xuande will inevitably raise troops to respond to the attack from both sides.

Gongsun Bogui is criss-crossed, Liu Xuande is related to Zhang Fuzuo, and the Jizhou War will inevitably have no spare strength to take care of us. As for Sun Wentai, Yuan Highway and Ma Shoucheng, etc., they have traveled thousands of miles, all of which are blocked by the passes or the soldiers and horses of other counties, so there is no need to worry about the things that the princes covet! ”

"Exactly!" Wang Li drank all the wine in his hand and laughed for a long time, "Huo Hu rode the wolf Juxu, and the Dou champion Le Shi Yanran shook the ages." Brother Meng De, now that the worries are gone, you and I were determined to help the country, but now the opportunity is in front of us, do you do it or not? ”

Damn the bird to the sky, immortal for thousands of years!

Cao Cao was enthusiastically boiled by Wang Li's words, and his big hand pressed heavily on Wang Li's hand, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the big tent that shook sounded.
