"Father, who is the emperor, don't you know such a truth! If you act recklessly, you will only make your father unable to get down the steps!! ”

When Cao Zhang heard this, his body shook, and he came to his senses in an instant, his fists were clenched, and he swore angrily in his heart with his head down.

"Wen Bufan, you Western barbarian!! One day soon, I will repay this humiliation tenfold!! ”

Cao Pi's whispering, although it was deliberately suppressed, still sounded slightly in this dead and silent hall, and I don't know if the civil and military heard it, but no one attended to echo it, and everyone didn't say a word. Cao Cao's cold smile was slightly retracted, and he suddenly looked at Jia Xu at the bottom of the stairs, and asked in a deep voice.

"The matter of peace and war has been decided. According to Taifu's opinion, when will the battle with the Western Tang Dynasty start!? ”

The Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty had just negotiated with Zhan, but Cao Cao immediately asked Jia Xu about sending troops. All the civil and military forces have changed color, and they all know that the war between the two countries is inevitable, and it must come quickly and fiercely. When Jia Xu heard this, his expression was shocked, he shook his spirits, and hurriedly came out to make a bow.

"According to the old minister's view, if you want to fight early, you must first stabilize Wubei. The old minister heard that the reason why Wen Bufan was able to quickly stabilize Xichuan was to convince the people with benevolence, distribute most of the land in central Sichuan to the people, and give money to help the people repair their homes and family businesses. If this is the case, why doesn't Your Majesty follow suit? If Wubei can be flattened quickly, it will be my great Wei's luck. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face sank, and he was about to answer. At this time, Guan Ning hurriedly came out and said quickly.

"Taifu's plan is good. However, China's previous expedition to Wu has cost a lot of money, and the government has not much to save. Moreover, in the near future, the Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei will definitely go to war, and then they will need to invest a lot of money. Shall this not increase the tax for supplementation? The people of the Central Plains will have many complaints. If there is a case, there will be chaos!! In Ning's opinion, His Majesty can only give land, but this silver must be tightened, and it must not be squandered excessively!! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled indifferently, and his snake-like eyes were shining brightly, and he said slowly.

"The doctor doesn't have to worry about it. At this time, Soochow has been destroyed, and there is still a lot of money in its government. This money is originally the tax income of the Wu people, and it is taken from the people and used for the people, isn't it just showing Your Majesty's benevolence!? ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, all the civil and military forces in the hall changed color, and each of them was shocked. It can be known that most of the money of the Eastern Wu State is owned by the royal family, and only a small half is awarded to the meritorious. Jia Xu's words, didn't he teach Cao Cao to privately donate his money bag and contribute!?

Jia Xu has always acted cautiously, and he will never take things lightly that will anger Cao Cao like this. When Cao Cao heard this, he closed his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. In the main hall, there was silence for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely strange. Abruptly, Cao Cao said slowly.

"I have heard that the reason why Wen Bufan is loved by his people in his country, and every family prays for him at home day and night, is that he governs the country in a way. The second is that he is generous, treating money as dung, and most of the income from taxes in the Western Tang Dynasty is taken from his family business. Wen Bufan has the talent of the world and the earth, and he is very important to business. In addition to gambling houses, restaurants, weaving workshops, artisan shops, and even pharmacies in recent years have been involved. In the past, the Great Wei and the Western Tang Dynasty were still allies, and their family business was opened all over the Central Plains. Nearly one-tenth of the annual income of the Great Wei government comes from it. Therefore, I did not rush to kill them all. Moreover, Wen Bufan also had countermeasures, and all the merchants of the Central Plains went to the Western Tang Dynasty to buy materials, and they were all re-endowed. Therefore, the merchants of the Central Plains have complaints about me, and secretly many businessmen have moved their families to the Western Tang Dynasty, and even the Central Plains family has gone there for profit. For this reason, I had to go on a killing spree to set an example. After this incident, although this situation was restrained, I also fell into infamy. With the development of Wen Bufan's family business, he became more and more wealthy, but almost all the income he collected was used for state purposes. And I heard that Wen Bufan's usual use is extremely simple, even inferior to some big clan giants in the Western Tang Dynasty, such a bright monarch, isn't it the hope of the people of the world!?

Money is nothing but things outside the body, compared to the great cause of the world, the country is unified, and it is not enough to worry about it. How can I not realize it until now~!! Taifu will follow your words, you will receive my command, and take all the income of the Dongwu Mansion, if it is not enough, I will take it here!! ”

Cao Cao's face was indifferent, Jia Xu's face was happy, and he bowed his hand.

"Your Majesty is generous, and benevolence fills the world!! The old minister is also willing to take everything from his home for national use!! ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, many civil and military personnel in the palace came out with emotion and followed suit, all willing to be used by the state. The rest of the civil and military forces, seeing this situation, dare not slack off, and they echo one after another. Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand.

"The Qing family has done their best for me, forgetting life and death, and it is natural that they will get money. And it is only natural that I am the king of a country and the lord of the world, and I use it for the people. How can I take the money of the Qing family privately!? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, all the civil and military officers hurriedly admonished again. Cao Cao had already made up his mind and refused to accept it. All the civil and military officials were grateful, and they secretly gave it away afterwards. Naturally, these are later words.

The matter of appeasing the people of Wubei is tentatively decided. Jia Xu condensed, and then said again.

"When Wubei is stable, Your Majesty can raise Guang Taohui and train soldiers and horses. Our Great Wei has strong national strength, and the Central Plains and Hebei areas have not been war-free for more than ten years. With a population of nearly 10 million, it takes 1 out of 10 to form a million male army in no matter how many days. His Majesty can train new soldiers with generals, and then young soldiers such as Jiang Boyao and Hao Bodao in our country are all young heroes, both wise and brave, and can be vigorously promoted and incorporated into the new army. and then sent the elite soldiers in the army, and each branch gave them training. In this way, it doesn't take years for an army of millions to be mobilized. Instantly, His Majesty gave an order, and a million troops came out to attack the city and pull out the village, which is no problem!! ”

As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, all the soldiers in the hall were shocked and happy. Cao Cao bowed slightly, very agreeing, but there were also a lot of worries in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"According to Taifu's plan, although a million army can be built in a few years. However, the Western Tang Dynasty was rich and powerful, and although the population was not as good as that of the Great Wei, Wen Bufan won the popularity of the people, and within a few years, he would be able to form hundreds of thousands of recruits. In addition, I heard that Wen Bufan has vigorously developed weapons in recent years, setting up a divine barracks to gather talented people to develop weapons. In recent years, in addition to developing the thunder cannon, Wen Bufan has also developed a novel steel-making technique, and his military equipment is mostly steel-making tools, and it is well-equipped. Even the horses were protected by armor. Spears, knives, halberds, hooks and sickles, and other weapons, most of which were made of steel, were extremely sharp. In this way, although there are millions of people in Dawei, it may not be the enemy of the West! ”

Cao Cao said this, and Sima Yi, who had never spoken, came out in a hurry, with a few energetic faces, and said quickly.

"Your Majesty don't have to worry about it. It is of course important to march and fight, and the sharpness of the weapon. But the so-called military strategy. If we fight against them, try to avoid unnecessary head-to-head confrontations with them, and try to attack them more strategically. At the same time, His Majesty can also give heavy rewards in these years, recruit the best craftsmen of the Great Wei Dynasty, and develop weapons. As long as there is no huge difference between the weapons of the two armies, our army has a large number of people and responds cautiously. As for the Western Tang Dynasty, there are sharp weapons such as thunder cannons, and our Great Wei also has thunderbolts. Your Majesty can improve it, and it will be of great use!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his jaw was repeated. At this time, Cao Pi also came out of the way.

"According to the child's opinion, the father can also send fine people to the Western Tang Dynasty, blend into the divine barracks, and if he can get the information, he will report back immediately. The father and the emperor vigorously rushed to build it. In this way, the equipment of the two armies is comparable, in front of my Great Wei million male army, why should the Western Tang Dynasty be concerned!? ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!! Zihuan is very good!! ”

So, after Cao Cao and the civil and military affairs discussed, they made their own arrangements, and then prepared to return to the court. Cao Cao named Zhang Jaw as the pastor of Yangzhou, commanded the three armies of northern Wu to prevent the West from attacking from southern Wu, and added Sima Yi as the lord of Yangzhou to assist Zhang Jaw in handling Yangzhou government affairs. Cao Cao's transfer has been decided, so he led a group of civil and military forces to return to Luoyang. On the way, Cao Cao rushed to Jingzhou, and heard that Guo Jia was sick and died, but he did not cry, as if he had expected it, but he muttered something on the bank of the Yangtze River on the bank of the Yangtze River and in front of Guo Jia's tomb. All the civil and military forces were strictly forbidden by Cao Cao, and no one dared to disturb them.

After the memorial service, overnight, Cao Cao's only little black hair turned white. Seeing that all the civil and military officers were shocked and grieved. However, to the relief of the civil and military forces, Cao Cao was still in good spirits, and there was still a touch of release on his face

g Uninhibited smile. Faintly, it looks like Guo Jia is seven points similar. So, Cao Cao embarked on the way back to Luoyang again.

Let's say that it was about two months ago, in the city of Anyi, Hedong. The four brothers such as Wang Wenhan of the Western Tang Dynasty gathered together, almost inseparable day and night, and talked about major events in the world. The brothers got together very happily, this day, but there were soldiers repeatedly came to report, in front of the tiger prison, Wei soldiers came to visit repeatedly, swept up the interest, annoying.

One day, there were soldiers rushing in the starry night, the wind and dust servants came to report, and the Wei army moved again, and Cao Zixiao, the general of the Great Wei Town, personally led the deployment and went to explore. Guan Yu listened, and Danfeng's eyes burst into action

G light, like listening to the dragon's roar in an instant, slapped the case with a palm, and shouted angrily.

"This Cao Zixiao saw that Guan was not in Guanzhong, and he dared not know what to do, and repeatedly came to offend my Tang Dynasty!?

Zhou Long listened to the words and hurriedly reassured him. Wen Han shook his head and smiled lightly, waving his hand.

"Just a thief, why should the second brother be angry, and don't lose his interest."

Guan Yu's face sank like a red date, his hand held his beautiful hair, made an arch, and answered in a condensed voice.

"No! It is rare for the king to take a break from this and gather with my brothers here. How can you let this Cao Zixiao disturb the king's interest!!
