"Cheng Hou, but now that the elite of our army has gone south to support, how can we still have the strength to send troops to Xudu?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu's face was indifferent, his eyes were blazing, he looked at Cao Pi, and said with a smile: "Son, isn't there still tens of thousands of elite troops in Yecheng of the Wei Palace, how can it be said that there is no army to adjust?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi's face changed drastically, and he said loudly: "This is absolutely impossible, if my father knew that Pi had mobilized the forbidden army of the palace without authorization, he would have tore me apart." ”

"Besides, these tens of thousands of soldiers are all elite divisions who followed the second brother out of the fortress to defeat Hu Kou, at the beginning, this army followed the Marquis of Yanling to fight so that the Xianbei leader Kebi can surrender, so that my Great Wei will shock the northern Xinjiang from now on."

"That's why my father organized tens of thousands of soldiers into forbidden troops and stationed them in the palace, the purpose of which is to deter thieves from outside the country, how can this be easily transferred?"

"If the thief learns the news and takes the opportunity to make a big splash, how can Dawei resist?"

For a while, Cao Pi also considered the general manager and expressed his worries.

Of course, these tens of thousands of forbidden troops are Cao Cao's descendants, and they only obey Cao Zhang's orders.

Cao Pi was even more afraid that he would be blamed after the war, but he would lose the position of the prince, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to mobilize the forbidden army, and then lose his prestige in front of the ministers.

As for Cheng Yu at this time, he didn't speak, but he was silently observing the changes in Cao Pi's expression.

After half a ring, he had already figured out Cao Pi's thoughts.

Immediately, Cheng Yu smiled, stroked his beard and said: "Actually, Gongzi, the old minister does not mean to transfer without authorization, nor does he want to send tens of thousands of soldiers south. ”

"Then, what does Cheng Hou mean?"

As Cao Pi asked, Cheng Yu slowly explained: "Gongzi, when the King of Wei was in Chang'an, he once asked Gongzi to temporarily act on his behalf, and he had the right to handle affairs, and there was no big problem in temporarily transferring thousands of forbidden troops. ”

"When stationed in the land of Youyan to guard against the thieves outside the Saiwai, the Marquis of Yanling once tried his best to build a team of more than 3,000 elite horsemen, this knight is skillful in bows and horses, well-equipped, and powerful."

"As long as you order these thousands of horsemen to go south, in cooperation with the four thousand elite soldiers in the city, a total of more than 7,000 people, it is only easy to expel the Jingzhou soldiers in the field!"

"Of course, a big victory for our army in the field will also be extremely safe."

After analyzing for a moment and pausing, Cheng Yu continued: "Then, Gongzi is sending a sentry to quickly rush to Chang'an and pass through the King of Wei, so that there will be no obstacles!" ”

When the words fell, Xiahou from the side couldn't help but think of something, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Cheng Hou, this knight was created by the second prince, and with him, the combat power can be brought into full play, but now the King of Wei has summoned him to Chang'an." ”

"I'm still worried, I'm afraid that three thousand knights will go south, and without the leadership of the second son, the knights' combat power will be greatly reduced!"

After finishing the words, all the people around them nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and they all expressed their support for Xiahou Shang's statement.

The three thousand Youyan knights, except for Cao Zhang, who can lead it, the rest of the generals cannot be controlled.

You know that!

Hearing this, Cheng Yu's face remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly: "Son, the old minister is trying to persuade you to ask the King of Wei to let the second prince return to Xudu and lead the knights to defeat the Jingzhou army." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu, and they didn't know why he made such a big move this time, and he had to recall the Marquis of Yanling, who was in the north of the country.

As if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, Cheng Yu said lightly: "Everyone, even if it is not for anything else this time, we must fight, and we must not hold on." ”

"It's the golden autumn season of September, and the rice fields outside the city are ........."

Halfway through the words, Cheng Yu stopped laughing, and at this moment, everyone from Cao Pi onwards understood.

"It seems that Cheng Hou is still thoughtful, but I have ignored this link."

Thinking about this, Cao Pi couldn't help muttering to himself, and as for the rest of the ministers, they were also smiling and staring at Cheng Yu approvingly.

………

On the outskirts of Xudu, more than 30 miles, Xutian.

At this moment, the morale of more than 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers was high, and they marched in formation, exuding a trace of murderous aura between the layers of formation.

In the military formation, the orange-red battle flag with the character "Han" was also swaying in the wind, fluttering in the air.

In the middle of the formation, Guan Ping was on a war horse, with a sharp sword at his waist and a big knife in his hand, but his eyes were always firmly fixed on the fields on the side of the road, looking at the rice that seemed to be a golden cloak, and he couldn't help but think about something.

"In the golden autumn season, it's time to harvest the rice!"

For a long time, Guan Ping couldn't help but sigh slowly.

Thinking of this, Guan Ping couldn't help sighing, and said: "Alas, Cao Thief occupies such a superior location in the Central Plains, and the output of grain is far several times that of my Han and Jiangdong. ”

"Cao thieves are fighting in the east and west, and they are tired of wandering, but they can repeatedly resist our attacks, but there have never been major problems in logistics."

"This is all about water conservancy, and the strategy of large-scale tuntian is supported behind it."

After a pause, Guan Ping couldn't help but secretly regret: "It's a pity that our side doesn't have the foundation to wantonly farm. ”

Cao Wei's Tuntian tactics were not accepted by Zao Yi and Han Hao until Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor and moved the capital to Xuchang, and thus began to carry out Tuntian.

It has been more than 20 years since it was implemented, and the Tuntian strategy has long been stable and can be sustained.

"It's a pity that neither our side nor Jiangdong can organize a large-scale tuntian like Cao Wei."

At this time, Guan Ping was thinking to himself as he walked.

"After all, at that time, Cao Cao was able to smoothly implement Tuntian, and there were also Central Plains where the Yellow Turbans were raging first, and then there were warlords fighting in a melee, resulting in the intricate and powerful forces being crippled and ruined everywhere."

"However, it led to wasteland everywhere in various counties and counties, and instead allowed Cao thieves to nationalize and quickly develop large-scale tuntian."

"It's a pity that whether it is Shuzhong, Jingzhou, or even Jiangdong, all parts of the country are peaceful, and they have not experienced war, which has led to the deep-rooted power of the powerful clans in the territory now."

"At this time, if you organize Tuntian on a large scale, this is to rob them of their jobs, which is tantamount to death!"

After thinking for a while, Guan Ping felt that if he wanted to fight the powerful clan during the turmoil of the times, it would be tantamount to digging his own grave.

After all, the influence of the major clans in the states and counties is not trivial, and if their interests are moved, how can they give up?

After thinking about it, Guan Ping seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but show joy on his face, and said secretly: "However, the land of the four southern counties is desolate, and the heroes are strong and weak, after keeping Jingzhou this time, we can ponder the strategy of Tuntian." ”

"If it is implemented smoothly, Jingnan will not only not become a drag in the future, but will be its own granary."

After all, although the Jingnan area is still relatively desolate now, as a traverser, he knows very well that this area is just undeveloped, and once it is developed, the output of grain will definitely increase exponentially.

For a while, passing all the way from the golden rice field, Guan Ping couldn't help but think more and more far-reaching.

"The whole army is stagnant, camp in place!"

At this moment, Guan Ping suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted.

When the order was handed down, the people did not dare to disobey, so they began to follow the instructions, looked for trees everywhere, and began to build a simple camp.

At this time, Sun Wolf, who was the striker, showed doubts on his face, and immediately galloped over, arching his hand: "Young General, why are you camping here?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping looked excited and laughed: "Of course it's cutting rice, haha!" ”
