This undoubtedly strengthened the strength of Cao Cao's army.

"Sit down, everybody. I have some things that I would like to ask you about. Cao Cao motioned for all the civil and military officers present to take their seats, and someone came over to cook tea.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The prime minister is worried about Liu Bei, right?" ”

In the text and in one sentence. In the name of helping Liu Zhang, Liu Bei went to Yizhou to resist Zhang Lu. On the surface, it seems that it is for the righteousness of his brother to save Yizhou from fire and water, but Liu Bei went to Yizhou, not only for this, sooner or later he will replace Liu Zhang and become the lord of Yizhou. Once he takes the twelve counties of Yizhou, we will add another threat to the south. I'm worried, how can I stop it? I wonder what you have to do? After Cao Cao finished speaking, he first glanced at Jia Xu, and then at Sima Yi.

He hoped that Sima Yi could give a plan to prove his talent.

"Zhongda, what do you think?" Jia Xu gave him this opportunity. Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Back to the prime minister, the minister has two plans to prevent Liu Bei from entering Sichuan." The first is to mobilize the Jingzhou army, approach Yangping Pass, and insert a knife in Zhang Lu's back. Zhang Lu had always been afraid of the prime minister, and he would definitely give up attacking Yizhou and lead his army back to Hanzhong. In this way, Liu Zhang will not ask Liu Bei to help him again. The second is to mobilize heavy troops and attack Jingnan again to force Liu Bei to come back. ”

"Good strategy..." Cao Cao was very satisfied, but he didn't adopt it: "Zhong Da doesn't know, Zhuge Liang is in Jingnan, and Liu Bei is very relieved." No matter how many soldiers and horses we go, he won't come back. And to attack Yangping Pass, the distance is too far, I am afraid it will be difficult to work. Again... There are not many soldiers in Jingzhou, will Zhang Lu give up fighting with Liu Zhang because of Yangping Pass? Sima Yi said: "If the prime minister is looking at the fire, what he said is reasonable. His subordinates also felt that Liu Bei would not give up the opportunity to seize Yizhou because Jingnan was attacked. But if you go to Yangpingguan, it will work! ”

"Why?"

"The prime minister has always sent a small army to test its reality first, and then a large army will press the border. This is already a well-known thing, and I believe Zhang Lu is also aware of it. This time he went to Yangping Pass, he didn't need too many troops, as long as he had five thousand fine horses, he could scare him. His subordinates suggested that General Zhang Liao go, he was superb in martial arts, and if he could kill several generals Zhang Lu, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Sima Yi's plan was not only to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but also to scare Zhang Lu with a fake fox and a fake tiger.

Although it is unlikely to succeed, Cao Cao felt that he could give it a try after careful consideration, because he would not use too many troops, and it would be okay for the overall situation in the north.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take your advice." ”

"Wen Ruo."

"Yes." Xun Yu got up. Cao Cao said: "Order Zhang Liao to lead the army westward. I will let the garrisons of Chang'an, Nanyang, and Jingzhou cooperate with him and put on a good show, and it will be up to Zhang Lu to be fooled. ”

"Your Ministers obey." Xun Yu replied. ........... Cao Cao was helped by Sima Yi, Hao Zhao, and Jiang Wei, and the strength of the army was enriched at once.

Not only the three of them, but also Sima Yi's family, after Sima Yi was reused, they also completely fell to Cao Cao.

Hebei. Yecheng. Xun Kan has returned. He reported to Yuan Xi on the process of the mission. Although it took a month, and no real money was brought back, but with the letter of agreement and when I returned along the way, the rumors were boiling, and the task was successfully completed.

"Mr. Xun, you have been in Youzhou all the year round, in charge of the affairs of a state, you should be particularly familiar with the affairs of Youzhou, can you elaborate?" In the Hubu Hall, Yuan Xi and Xun Kan met and asked.

"Back to the lord, what Youzhou lacks most is the population, because all over the country recruits soldiers, builds roads, repairs walls, cultivates... All young and strong people are needed. The lord knew that in the early years, in order to fight against foreign races, most of the young and strong people in Youzhou died in the army, and now within ten households, there are no five young and strong people, which makes Qingzhou's agriculture difficult to carry out at all. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be wasted for thousands of miles. ”

"I know what you say. Is there anything you can do? ”

"Yes." Xun Kan replied: "There are two ways for the minister. The first is to develop Youzhou into a grazing land, specializing in feeding horses, sheep, deer... And so on, just like Wuhuan and Xianbei. But it was hard to make up my mind, thinking that it would be too wasteful, because we already had a place to graze. The land of Youzhou is far inferior to the grasslands inside and outside the Great Wall, which is suitable for grazing. ”

"A year ago, Chen and a group of people went to farm a small piece of rice outside the Great Wall, but they all died. Inside the Great Wall, however, it can be cultivated. This shows that the Great Wall is a dividing line, where you can cultivate inside and not outside. It would be a waste to use Youzhou as a grazing place.... ”

"The second way is to relocate the people. Moving people from other states and counties into Youzhou can give them rewards and help them build new homes. In this way, within two years, Youzhou will be able to solve the problem of farming. Of course, the premise is that Youzhou can no longer recruit soldiers. Yuan Xi said: "Your suggestion is very good, I'll let Fu Zhi do it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Migrate people. You are right, Youzhou as a grazing land, some tyrannical things, you need to know that the princes of the world, in order to get a fertile land, would rather sacrifice thousands of lives, we sit on Youzhou twelve counties, but used for grazing, isn't it a pity. Let's farm. ”

"The lord is wise." Xun Kan also thinks the same way. Only by relocating the people can you truly enrich Youzhou and make Youzhou's agriculture, commerce, and economy more developed.

Tian Feng, the head of the household, followed and said: "Of the states in Hebei, only Jizhou has the most people, is the lord planning to move from Jizhou to Youzhou?" ”

"Hmm. Counsel with him. ”

"Yes." Tian Feng said: "But... The minister was worried that the people would not will. What do you think, how prosperous and stable Jizhou is, and the people can't like it, how can they move? What's more, if you go to Youzhou, which has been plundered by aliens all year round, who would joke with the lives of yourself and your family. The minister has only seen those who moved from Youzhou to Jizhou, but he has never seen anyone who moved from Jizhou to Youzhou. If you have to do it, you don't have to give a big reward. But this cost.... Yuan Xi said: "Youzhou is tax-free." For those who move to Youzhou, in the first three years, every young man will be rewarded with 20 percent according to the yield of the harvest after settling, cultivating, and harvesting. For example, if the crops he produces are worth 10,000 yuan, we will reward him with 2,000 yuan. In addition, it was explicitly announced that Youzhou would not be conscripted, and the guard of the Great Wall would be strengthened to ensure that Youzhou would not be disturbed by foreign tribes. ”

"That's very good." Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Tian Feng and Xun Kan were confident. According to this benefit, the people of Jizhou must be willing to go.
