scolded Zhao Hui shamelessly, but Cao Cao was going to do similar things.

If you want to talk about shame, the shame of anyone in the Han Dynasty is stronger than Cao Cao.

Cao Cao himself is the brazen spokesperson.

Don't say that it's like this, even if there is something more disgusting than this, Cao Cao will not hesitate.

If he didn't have a cheeky face, where would Cao Cao be able to control Yanzhou and the imperial court.

Without a cheeky face, he was ashamed to be said a few words, did Cao Cao hand over the military power a long time ago?

In the last second, he was kind and pleasant, and in the next second, Cao Cao was able to turn his face ruthlessly.

If you talk about turning your face, in the entire Han world, there is absolutely no one who is faster than Cao Cao.

No matter whether it is other princes, they are not as good as Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao, who has died, and Yuan Shu, who is now homeless, all take their faces very seriously.

Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, when they wanted to turn their faces, they were all worried.

Cao Cao's decisiveness can't be made at all, either thinking of the past feelings, or taking into account the strength of the other party.

Even Zhao Hui can't be as decisive as Cao Cao, and he will also think of the past.

The people of Jizhou said that Zhao Hui was benevolent, which is not wrong.

They all say that Liu Bei is benevolent, they all say that Liu Biao is merciful, and they also say that Liu Yan is merciful.

But how many of them are against the people?

Liu Biao Liu Yan's kindness is indecisive, and it is to their subordinates.

In addition to Liu Bei knowing the suffering of the people, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are actually separated from the people, and they are high.

Under their rule, at most, there is no more stability, and there is no war for the time being.

If Liu Biao was really merciful, he would not have sent You Heng to Huang Zu.

Among the many princes, Zhao Hui was the one who paid the most attention to the lives of the people.

It is also one who has been thinking about improving the living standards of the people.

The four states of Hebei are now the four states with the lowest taxes in the Han Dynasty.

When this was the case, Zhao Hui left all the other princes behind.

If Zhao Hui had levied a little more taxes, he would have been able to go south by now.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and they all had to be exterminated by Zhao Hui.

As long as a little more taxes are levied and a little more soldiers are recruited, Zhao Hui's military strength can be doubled again.

Zhao Hui now has an army of 300,000 in his hands, and it will double to 600,000.

Cao Cao, Liu Cousin, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang, all combined, may not be able to withstand Zhao Hui's attack.

Cao Cao led a group of ministers, and the momentum was huge, just afraid that others would not know.

But cutting down trees is also a hard job.

Cao Cao's body is not bad, although he is short, but he is very strong.

But at the end of the day, his arms were also sore, and when he went back, he was riding on horseback, and he couldn't grasp the reins with both hands, and he almost fell down several times.

Even Cao Cao is like this, let alone those ministers.

The bodies of those ministers are not as good as Cao Cao's.

Even if there are some people, they are children of poor families.

But even if they are poor, they haven't done much farm work.

And since becoming officials, the rough work has long been away from them.

Although they ate round and chubby, they really didn't have much strength.

At the end of the day, even if a few people worked together, they didn't cut down a few trees.

However, Cao Cao's group of people, although the ministers are not good, there are still soldiers.

So I cut down nearly a thousand big trees a day, and then cut them into small pieces, some of which were sold at a low price, and some of which were directly delivered to the homes of poor people, so that they could have firewood to burn and keep warm.

Although Cao Cao was for the purpose of showmanship, he still gave the people some benefits after all.

Subsequently, the Dahan People's Daily also published Cao Cao's righteous act of cutting down trees to relieve the people.

And the length is far greater than Zhao Hui's Jizhou People's Daily.

However, Cao Cao's Dahan Minbao only printed 50,000 copies.

Although he holds the title of Dahan Minbao, his influence is actually not as good as Zhao Hui's Jizhou Minbao.

After cutting down the tree for a day, Cao Cao cultivated for three days, but his arm was still sore.

However, he also remembered Mao Jue who was sent to the grassland, and asked Cheng Yu and the others on the left and right: "Why hasn't Mao Jue come back yet?" ”

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and according to the previous plan, Mao Jue should be back.

He will not stay on the steppe for the New Year.

"Back to the lord, there is no news from Mao Jiudao for the time being." Cheng Yu said.

To the north of Yanzhou is Jizhou and Youzhou.

After Mao Jue went to the grassland, he broke off contact with Yanzhou.

It has been more than three months now, and I haven't heard from Mao Jue.

Cao Cao had a bad feeling in his heart.

The time was delayed, and it was basically an accident.

And Mao Jue went to the grassland, which was very risky.

"Send someone to check." Cao Cao said.

Mao Jue is also a talent that Cao Cao values very much, otherwise he would not have been sent to the grassland.

However, Mao Jue is dead, and Cao Cao will not be sad.

Cao Cao is more concerned about whether Mao Jue will contact the grassland tribe and whether the grassland will be in flames next year.

If there are no accidents, he will have to face Zhao Hui's attack next year.

However, Cao Cao did not have any confidence in his heart.

Even if he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the overall strength gap was too great.

How will he win?

None of those schemes were sure of success.

Cao Cao is under a lot of pressure right now.

Even if he now has Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there are also areas around Luoyang.

But the only ones that can provide him with combat power are Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Compared with Zhao Hui's four states, there is a big gap.

Moreover, Yanzhou's vitality was greatly injured at the beginning, and it has been recovering in the past two years.

Cao Cao recruited 100,000 troops from Yuzhou, and now has 150,000 troops in his hands.

Although it is only half less than Zhao Hui, it is not impossible to win.

But the number of troops is only one aspect.

The biggest gap between Cao Cao and Zhao Hui is still in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Zhao Hui holds the four states of Hebei and has tens of millions of people.

And Yanzhou and Yuzhou combined, only 3 million people.

In terms of financial resources, Cao Cao cannot be compared with Zhao Hui.

Thymes and books are not counted now, but Zhao Hui still has glass and mirrors in his hands.

These two things can bring countless money to Zhao Hui every year.

Even if Zhao Hui's taxes are low, but with the power of the four states, the annual taxes collected are higher than Cao Cao's.

In terms of the hearts of the people, even if Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the hearts of the people in the four states of Hebei were all towards Zhao Hui.

The time and place are favorable, and Cao Cao has no way to take advantage.

Gokarasuma Captain's Mansion.

Mao Jue and his entourage were all imprisoned.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't kill them, but he didn't let them go either.

Zhao Yun had already arrived here with two thousand heavily armored cavalry years ago.

"Zilong, you're finally here."

Cheng Yuanzhi personally came out to greet Zhao Yun.

"Has the news of Mao Jue's arrest spread?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Not yet, I've been holding the news." Cheng Yuanzhi said.

He also knew that when the news of Mao Jue's arrest spread, the three tribes must have migrated immediately, even if it was still winter.

Even if they migrate now, half of their tribe will probably die, and they will migrate immediately.
