I saw Guo Jia said with a smile: "In fact, it is not difficult, after our army occupies Luoyang, we can send someone to repair, although it takes some effort, it is necessary to make it exquisite and magnificent, and reproduce the prosperity of the past, when today's son was born in Luoyang, his ancestors are also in Luoyang, I have heard that the Son of Heaven misses his hometown Luoyang very much, and is very looking forward to coming back, and now Chang'an has experienced a long-term war between Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan, and the damage is very serious, and the people of Sanfu have moved south to Hanzhong and Nanyang. It is said that now the price of rice in Chang'an has risen to 500,000 yuan, in this case the Son of Heaven must not want to live in Chang'an anymore, as long as the lord's attitude is respectful, and repair the palace, the Son of Heaven will be happy to go to Luoyang, so that the lord according to Heluo, keep the eight passes, inherit the edict of the Son of Heaven, rely on the support of the people, the world has no change, then keep the old land, develop internal affairs, the world has changed and the east and Qingxu, the north expands to Ji, why worry about the great cause? ”

After Cao Cao listened, he immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "Fengxiao's words are very good, that is the case, then we will act immediately, it just so happens that we have just recently defeated the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo Department, and obtained a large number of horses and materials, so we ordered Yuan Rang and Miaocai, who were stationed in Chenliu, to lead the army to occupy Luoyang first, and I will personally lead 100,000 Qingzhou troops to follow, as for the responsibility of guarding Yanzhou, I will hand it over to Zixiao you, I will allocate you 5,000 soldiers, plus your headquarters of men and horses, a total of 8,000 people can guard Changyi together." ”

Cao Ren, who was on the side, quickly stood up when he heard this, accepted the order seriously, and said that he would not disappoint Pei Qing.

"In that case, is the lord going to issue a document now in response to Pei Qing? And make a covenant of alliance? Although the pet is not talented, he is willing to go to Yuzhou for the lord. ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Of course we have to issue a document, but it is not now, after all, Pei Qing's front-line army has already captured Shang County, if we express our position so quickly, he will definitely speed up the march and capture Chang'an in our head, then we will be behind, so I will wait until Luoyang is captured before we officially respond, and I must let him wait a few more days." ”

"What a clever plan, my lord." Full of admiration, he thought about it, and asked another question: "But my lord, then in this way, our army's materials have become very tight, especially the repair of the palace, this is a very large amount of money, and the last general is afraid that even if all the materials of our army are donated, they will not be enough." ”

"That's a problem." Cao Cao thought of this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, the lack of materials is not a small problem, Pei Qing has salt mines and iron mines, and he is so rich that he is very rich, but his Yanzhou has just been unified, and he has suddenly recruited hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, and the supply of materials is already scarce.

"Princesses, is there a way to make money?" Cao Cao looked at the strategists and asked expectantly.

However, all the strategists lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Cao Cao, in their opinion, the way to quickly collect property is not impossible, either to loot the people, or to loot large households, but no matter what to do, Cao Cao's prestige will decline rapidly, it is a method of drying up and fishing, or it is not a method, because of course Cao Cao will think of these methods, but since he asked, it is naturally impossible to be these methods.

For a moment, the tent was so quiet that a single needle could be heard, and the strategists racked their brains, but they could not come up with a solution.

Cao Cao was very impatient when he saw this scene, seeing that great things could be done, but the most critical link was missing.

At this moment, I saw Cheng Yu's eyes light up, and he stopped talking.

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and hurriedly asked, "I don't know if Zhongde has a way?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Actually, this is not a good idea, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is to drink to quench your thirst, but if you want to get money quickly, I am afraid that only this is the most suitable, I don't know if the lord has ever heard that Dong Zhuo once ordered someone to loot the emperor's tomb in order to obtain a large amount of property?" ”

"I naturally know about this matter, Dong Zhuo ransacked the imperial tomb and the tomb of the princess in Luoyang, and what he did was outrageous...... Well, could it be that Zhongde refers to ......"

"Exactly, although Dong Zhuo stole and excavated the mausoleum, he also got a lot of property, if the lord wants to get the property to build the palace, there is only one way......"

"No, how can we do such a thing? If so, what is the difference between us and Dong Zhuo? It is not exempt from the fact that the lecture is real. ”

"That is, this is too sensational, digging graves and digging graves, this is a thing that damages yin morality......"

"This idea is a bit bad, Cheng Zhongde wants to be famous and wants to go crazy, right?"

.....

When the strategists heard this, there were many discussions, but only the country and Xun Yu were silent.

Cao Cao didn't speak, but finally stopped everyone, and then said loudly: "This idea is indeed a little inappropriate, but I did think of a good idea, for the sake of secrecy, I can't tell you for the time being, but I promise that we will not lack materials to repair the palace at that time, please relax." ”

The strategists didn't know what Cao Cao had in mind, but Cao Cao didn't want to say it, so they naturally didn't ask, only Xun Yu and Guo Jia were thoughtful and didn't say anything.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia are both top strategists, and they exchanged glances with each other, and they understood that the other party already knew what Cao Cao was thinking, but they would not say anything, because in their opinion, this was an extraordinary moment, and they naturally had to follow power.

"Alas, this Cao Gong is indeed different, he is never rigid as a person, as long as he can use it, he will never hesitate at all, but his original starting point for doing this is also for the Han, so it can't be said wrong, but this way is really a bit unacceptable." Xun Yu tried every reason to defend Cao Cao, and he also knew that Cao Cao was helpless to do this, but there was still a faint uneasiness in his heart, although he himself didn't know what this uneasiness came from, but it was unprovoked, which made him very puzzled.

Xun Yu and Guo Jiachai were right, Cao Cao did not agree on the surface, but in fact he secretly looked for someone who was good at tomb robbing, and granted him the position of Captain of the Golden Colonel and the post of General of the Serving Ball, so that he could find and excavate the tombs of the ancestors, steal and excavate property, so as to repair Luoyang City, and at the same time, if there is a surplus, it can also be used to feed the army.

Cao Cao naturally also saw the expressions of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, he knew that the country didn't care about this at all, because he didn't care about the life and death of the Han at all, but Xun Yu's heart was still a little unbearable, it seemed that he still had a trace of illusion about the Han, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that although this Xun Yu is loyal to himself, he may not obey himself unconditionally, but he is a little worse than Guo Jia and Cheng Yu in this regard.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't like things like robbing tombs very much, but there was no way, so he could only find excuses to comfort himself: "I am also an extraordinary law in extraordinary times, although this matter is not a little above board, but as long as you get enough property and get power, it is not without the opportunity to repair these tombs, and I will build the palace for the tombs of the dead of the Han Dynasty for the living, which can be described as waste utilization, and it can be regarded as benefiting the Han Dynasty, and the owners of these tombs are either courtiers or clan relatives of the Han Dynasty in history, You can't even be unwilling to sacrifice this little bit, right? ”
