Chapter 140: Cao Cao's Choice
So, at the behest of Xu Tian. Represented by the Lu family, Jingzhou began a series of actions.
The first is a large-scale sugarcane base reclaimed by the military and civilians.
Countless people were mobilized to join the trend of growing sugar cane.
Among them, the Lu family played a key role!
What Xu Tian didn't expect the most was that among the thousands of people led by Shen Du. Most of them are experts in agriculture.
This discovery made Xu Tian overjoyed!
He quickly asked Shen Du to pick out the most experienced masters in agriculture among them and gathered them together.
Just as the preparations were in full swing, another person appeared in front of Xu Tian.
When Lu Tianba brought this person to Xu Tian, Xu Tian, who had always been calm, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Looking at the person in front of him with a strange face, Xu Tian smiled bitterly. "Zhao Si!"
In fact, Lu Tianba never thought that if it weren't for the fact that several elders of Yangliu Village patted their chests and assured. He would never believe that this guy would be a man who is proficient in agriculture!
Zhao Si seemed to have long been accustomed to other people's shocks, so he just spread his hands helplessly.
Xu Tian is very happy to have such a team. He no longer has to worry about Jingzhou's food problem.
Without reservation, Xu Tian explained to them all the theories about hybrid rice that he was familiar with.
However, Xu Tian understood in his heart. For this new understanding, it still takes a process for them to absorb and practice.
As for the results, leave it to them to study!
As a result, Jingzhou has entered the upsurge of national development.
Patches of wasteland were reclaimed, and with them a large area of greenery.
Zhao Si was appointed to be in charge of rice research, and he could be seen everywhere in the field!
Just when Xu Tian led Jingzhou into large-scale production, the general trend of the world was changing dramatically.
……
Cao Cao, who returned victoriously in the Battle of Chibi, settled the rear after two years.
So, he set his sights on the west.
Hanzhong has always been in the hands of the separatist force Zhang Lu.
This place is extremely important because it is the gateway to Yizhou.
It is precisely because of Zhang Lu's existence that Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang lives in unrest all year round.
And Cao Cao's target is Zhang Lu.
But this matter is very troublesome, because if you want to take Hanzhong. He had to pass through Guanzhong, and it was impossible for Ma Chao Hansui, a separatist force stationed in Guanzhong, to let him pass.
In this way, Ma Han became a stumbling block for Cao Cao.
But Ma Han is an official position personally sealed by the imperial court, and it is not said that he can be beaten.
So, Cao Cao gave the order with great fanfare. In the name of the imperial court, enter Guanzhong!
As soon as this order was issued, there was an uproar inside and outside the court.
Many people came to Cao Cao, saying that they could not do so. The consequences of this are very serious, what if Ma Chao and Han rebel!
Cao Cao sneered in his stomach, waiting for them to be opposed. If they don't rebel, how can I have any reason to clean them up!
Things turned out to be as Cao Cao expected, and the army he sent was dispatched. Guanzhong Ma and Han immediately raised troops to resist, claiming that the army of 100,000 was ready for battle!
……
On this day, Cao Cao was reading the military newspaper. Xun Yu took a letter and walked in slowly.
At this time, Xun Yu's hair was gray, and the wrinkles on his face were also vertical and horizontal.
He came to Cao Cao step by step and bowed slightly.
"Prime Minister!"
"Wen Ruo is here!" Cao Cao glanced up, and then his gaze fell on the letter in Xun Yu's hand. "From Jingzhou?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "The prime minister's sensitivity has not diminished in the slightest!"
"Haha..."Cao Cao laughed and got up and came to Xun Yu's side. I personally invited him to sit down and said with a smile. "You and I are old! If we don't think about it more, our old bones will have to be eaten by others! ”
After speaking, Cao Cao took the letter from Xun Yu's hand.
As his eyes flickered, the contents of the letter were unobstructed.
After a few moments, Cao Cao put down the letter. Stared at Xun Yu and said. "What do you think?"
"This Xu Tian is not simple!" Xun Yu touched his beard and spoke slowly. Xu Tian said in the letter that he asked the prime minister not to rush to attack Ma Han, saying that this would make Liu Zhang vigilant and give Liu Bei a chance!
On the surface, this makes a lot of sense. If the prime minister really takes Hanzhong, he will look at Yizhou. Liu Zhang's soul will be gone. Rush to the doctor when you are sick! It's also a possibility!
But the same can be said about things, as long as Sun Liu is there. He Xu Tianhui is very important, once the prime minister succeeds in taking Hanzhong, he even takes Yizhou in one go.
That day will be just around the corner, maybe that's the case. Is that what Xu Tian doesn't want to see? ”
Speaking of this, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with sparkling eyes.
Cao Cao was silent, with his cleverness. Of course I know what Xun Yu means.
has always been the attitude towards Xu Tian. Cao Cao was swaying from side to side, but he never said anything.
Especially after he left, Xu Tian was like a fish in water in Jingzhou.
Retire Zhou Yu and collect Huang Zhong. Develop agriculture and recruit heroes.
This made Cao Cao's heart can't help but rise a sense of crisis.
And Xun Yu's idea is even simpler, and Jingzhou is important. It goes without saying that the most important thing is that, in his opinion, such an important place should be firmly in the hands of the imperial court.
Xu Tian at this moment is in Xun Yu's eyes. Already a latent volatile element, it has nothing to do with personal vendettas.
In Xun Yu's eyes, there is only the world and the Han Dynasty!
"In your opinion, what should I do?" After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked Xun Yu.
"Today's Xu Tian can't just say he moves!" Xun Yu sighed secretly. "And we can't let him see the slightest bit of it, otherwise it will be very bad for us!
In my humble opinion, the prime minister quelled the rebellion against Ma Han this time. To enter Hanzhong, it is better to let Xu Tian send troops to contain Liu Bei at the same time.
Didn't he say that Liu Bei couldn't be given a chance? Then let him do it!
In this way, if he succeeds in containing Liu Bei. If they clamp each other down, our odds will increase dramatically.
If he refuses, we have a reason to get rid of him! ”
After listening to Xun Yu's narration, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and fell silent again.
There can be no mistake in this matter, once Jingzhou changes. It will be very unfavorable to Cao Cao himself, and the most important thing is that Cao Cao is still unwilling to easily turn his face with Xu Tian deep down.
He has always loved talents, and in his opinion, Xu Tian will be of great use to himself!
After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao spoke softly.
"Well, no need to reply. Let's go according to the plan, it's up to him to choose! ”
"No!"
Xun Yu said yes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Cao Cao is always Cao Cao, and he can always make the most advantageous choice for himself!
……
At the same time, Koto has undergone tremendous changes.
Zhou Yu, a famous general and the supreme military commander of Eastern Wu, died of illness......
