Zhong Xuan's idea is very simple, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Chen Mo to completely give up the implementation of the law of merging states, after all, this set has accumulated a lot of strength and popularity for Chen Mo in Bingzhou, but if you want to completely copy it, it is obviously impossible for Sergeant Guan to accept it, this battle to pacify Guanzhong has not yet ended, and it is likely that another wave of war will break out.

So the important hope is that the field tax can be collected according to all the land, after all, Dong Zhuo has done this before, and if Wang Yun hadn't killed Dong Zhuo, he would have collected it like this later, but in terms of people, Chen Mo doesn't have to be too strict, of course, the Guan Sergeant clan will not be too much.

Chen Mo thought carefully about Zhong Xuan's proposal, Zhong Xuan obviously came prepared, so that his interests would not be too damaged, but at the same time, compared with the merger of states, the cost of employment will also be cut by half, after all, in this way, it seems that there is not much difference, but as long as he measures the land and collects taxes, he knows the approximate population of each place, as long as the entry and exit are not too big, and Sergeant Guan hopes to protect his existing interests.

"What Mr. Yuan Chang said is indeed reasonable." After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo nodded and looked at Zhong Xuan and said: "But these days, looking at this Jingzhao account book, there is not much land that can resettle the people, and now because of the continuous war, many people are homeless, and I hope that these people of all ethnic groups can make some efforts." ”

Zhong Xuan nodded and said, "Rest assured, the sergeant in this pass has a lot of respect for the envoy, and he will definitely help the envoy." ”

This is Chen Mo expressing his dissatisfaction, those fields that were wiped out by Dong Zhuo and Li Guo from the wealthy families, these people have to spit it out for themselves, otherwise Chen Mo really doesn't even have a place to start the eight hundred miles of fertile land in Qinchuan.

It's just that Zhong Xuan obviously can't make his own decision on this matter, he is not Sergeant Guan, and although he is entrusted to come forward to talk about it, he can't make a decision on behalf of the entire Sergeant Guan clan.

On this topic, the two sides just stopped at a superficial level, and then, the three of them still talked about the past and the present, and talked about the world until late at night, after refusing Chen Mo's retention, Zhong Miao and Zhao Wen helped each other to leave, Chen Mo asked someone to prepare a carriage to send the two back to their respective residences, and then returned to their own rooms and fell asleep deeply.

……

Here, Chen Mo was circling among the scholars in Chang'an and began to plan for the future governance of Guanzhong, and over there, Cao Cao also arrived in Yixian County with Li Dao.

"Li Dao? Does he still have a face? "Yixian, Guo Yan heard that Li Dao was coming to vote, and snorted coldly.

"General, now that we are waiting for the enemy, even if General Li has something that is wrong, at this moment, we should also fight against that Chen Mo, if we join forces with General Li at this time, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, and it will only cheapen Chen Mo." A general persuaded.

Thinking that he might face Chen Mo's conquest at any time, Guo Yan finally nodded, now Chen Mo can no longer be underestimated, and the soldiers of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and robbed most of Li Wei's centaurs, the current Chen Mo, the crowd of soldiers, has a faint tendency to override Li Guo, at this time, it is indeed not the time for infighting.

"Why did this Cao Cao come?" Guo Yan nodded, which can be regarded as agreeing with this statement, but Guo Yan is also confused about Cao Cao's appearance.

"It's an edict, the general forgot?" The general reminded.

"That's the thing." Guo Yan vaguely seemed to remember that not long after Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, he once said that he wanted to come to Guanzhong to see the Son of Heaven.

"General, great joy!" A general walked briskly from outside and saluted Guo Yan.

"What?" Guo Yan looked at the other party and wondered.

"Does the general remember Zhao Cen?" The general laughed.

"Naturally, I remember." Guo Yan nodded, Zhao Cen is a general under Li Dao, and he is good at cavalry commanders.

"Zhao Cen secretly sent someone to write before, and wanted to lead his troops to defect to the general!"

"Oh?" When Guo Yan heard this, his face showed a little joy, Zhao Cen commanded the most elite cavalry under Li Dao, if Zhao Cen came to vote, it was equivalent to cutting off Li Dao's arm, although it is true that he needs to reconcile with Li Dao now, but if he can see Li Dao's bad luck and enhance his strength, Guo Bi is naturally willing.

"Tell Zhao Cen that if you want to vote, you will treat him well!" Guo Yan got up and smiled.

"Whoa!"

Li Dao did not expect that he had just arrived in Yixian County, and before he had settled down, his generals would take their cavalry and run to Guo Yan, and the next morning, when he learned of this, Li Dao almost led his troops directly to attack Yixian.

"Childish, calm down!" Cao Cao appeared at the right time, patted Li Dao's shoulder, looked at the towering city wall of Yixian County, and said: "Dong Gong of Yixian County has been reinforced many times back then, and Guo Yan has been prepared for a long time. ”

"That's it!?" Li Dao said angrily.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Cao Cao smiled and patted Li Dao's shoulder and said, "At this time, there is no benefit to turning against Guo Yan, we don't have food and grass, how can we fight him?" ”

"Meng De is willing to help me?" Li Dao looked at Cao Cao Dao.

"Well, Guo Yan's move is too much, and that Zhao Cen, alas~" Cao Cao nodded and said: "For today's plan, I will bow my head to that Guo Yan first, settle down, and then make a plan, how about it?" Save your life first. ”

"What Meng De said is reasonable." Li Dao said with a depressed face: "It's just ......"

"A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, you and I join forces, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to clean up a Guo Yan? Let him run rampant for a few days. Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Alas!" Li Dao nodded gloomily, and now he could only bow his head first.

Guo Yan sent an order to Li Wei to camp outside the city first, and then enter the city tomorrow to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.

"Seek perfection first, and then seek Guo Yan." Cao Cao looked at Li Dao and said with a smile: "What is the situation in Yixian County now, we don't know yet, so let's find out the truth first." ”

That's all there is to it.

Li Dao felt that it made sense, nodded and agreed, and went back to the camp with Cao Cao, ready to see what Li Dao would do tomorrow.

Cao Cao had just returned to the camp when he saw that the messenger sent by Guo Yan was already waiting, and asked Cao Cao to enter the city to meet the Son of Heaven.

"My lord, don't be in danger!" Xiahoudun hurriedly grabbed Cao Cao Dao.

"Don't worry, Guo Yan seems to be trying to win over me at this time, I'll see if I can provoke the two sides to fight, so that we can profit from it." Cao Cao soothed: "You are here to standby, and I will follow him into the city to meet Guo Yan, we must make a move as soon as possible, otherwise one more day in this pass will be more dangerous, if my virtuous brother knows that I am here, I am afraid that he will be enthusiastic to stay with guests." ”

Compared with Li Dao and Guo Yan, Cao Cao was most worried that Chen Mo knew his news and blocked his back road.

Xiahoudun was difficult to dissuade, and Cao Cao had already left with the envoy and went straight to Yixian.

Liu Xie is now arranged in the former Dong Zhuo's mansion, and now it is also Guo Yan's mansion, and the Son of Heaven lives in the same courtyard with the minister, this kind of thing, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it is the first time, Cao Cao did not see Liu Xie for the first time, but was brought to Guo Yan's side.

"Mengde, I haven't seen you for a long time." Guo Yan saw Cao Cao and smiled.

"General, why bother?" Cao Cao looked at the soldiers who surrounded him in the middle on the left and right, looked at Guo Yan and smiled.

"Back then, Meng De stabbed the Taishi with a knife, and he would have had to guard against it." Guo Yan shook his head and smiled.

"Now that Cao is also a family man, how dare he fight with his life like this, this time he came to the court, and the general agreed." Cao Cao sighed.

"I heard that Meng De and Li Dao have a very good personal relationship?" Guo Yan waved his hand, motioned for the soldiers to leave, and let Cao Cao sit down.

"It's not bad, along the way, I've taken care of a lot." Cao Cao nodded.

"But I want to kill Li Dao, what does Meng De think?" Guo Yan looked at Cao Cao and asked with a smile.

"Not how." Cao Cao looked at Guo Yan with a calm face and said: "Not to mention the current great enemy, the two generals and the two will benefit, even if the general can kill Brother Zhiran, but Brother Zhiran is now poor to vote, but the general will kill him, not to mention who else dares to defect to the general in the future, that is, these soldiers under the general's account, I am afraid that the general will feel that the general has no measure, and he tried his best to persuade Zhiran to give up his military power to assist the general in success, and the general turned his face like this, and he was afraid that his efforts would be in vain." ”

"Oh?" When Guo Yan heard this, he looked at Cao Cao in surprise and said, "Li Dao is willing to give up military power?" ”

"I'm moved, but I'm worried that the general will do harm." Cao Cao nodded, shook his head again, looked at Guo Yan and said, "Now it seems that it is not for nothing that I am worried about it. ”

Guo Yan was silent for a moment and then said: "Meng De, in fact, I don't want to take his life, it's just that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country, and Meng De should have heard of the Chang'an Rebellion before." ”

"That's exactly how you persuade childish." Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's why I came this time, first, to meet the Son of Heaven, and secondly, I also hope to make peace with the two families. ”

"What about Mengde?" Guo Yan looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

"Cao naturally respects the imperial court, if the general is willing, Cao is willing to hand over Yanzhou to the general, and Cao will stay here to give advice to the general." Cao Cao said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Guo Yan nodded and said, "If all the princes in the world are like Meng De, how can there still be such a troubled world?" However, Yanzhou still needs Meng De to be in charge, and when the time is ripe, Meng De will be recruited into the court, and then he will be treated as three dukes. ”

Chen Mo occupies Jingzhao, Hongnong, and He. Nanyin, Guo Yan wants to take over Yanzhou, but he can't do it.

"Thank you for your trust!" Cao Cao smiled and saluted.

"Li Dao's matter, I asked Meng De to tell me, as long as he is willing to surrender to me, the past is not to blame!" After thinking for a moment, Guo Yan looked at Cao Cao Dao.

"I will convey this statement, the general can rest assured, I will persuade Zhiran to vote." Cao Cao assured.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Your Majesty." Guo Yan nodded, got up and said.

At that moment, after Guo Yan took Cao Cao to meet the Son of Heaven, after some greetings, Cao Cao said goodbye, and Guo Yan personally sent him out of the mansion and ordered someone to escort Cao Cao out of the city all the way.
