『Chapter error, click here to report』

Cao Ren was in a very good mood, looking at Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin's tiring and thankless errands, Cao Ren expressed great satisfaction with Jia Xu's arrangement. It seems that in the heart of that scheming guy, it is not really unscrupulous to achieve his own goals, because in such an arrangement, it can be seen that in his heart, he has not yet given up the sophistication of human feelings, to put it bluntly, that is, he has not really given up the mentality of clinging to the powerful.

The reason why I say this is that for myself, the boss of the Cao family, the work assigned to me is so easy that it cannot be easier, and at the same time, this is an errand that is too fat to be fat.

Now Cao Ren is lying on the leisure chair, listening to his housekeeper and reporting his income to himself.

"In the past three days, a total of 1 million stones of grain, beans and wheat have been harvested, no less than 500 million steel coins, and there are countless jewels, jade and antiques of all kinds."

Cao Ren squinted his eyes, held a small teapot, and leisurely listened to the reported figures, silently calculating the wealth he should share: "The accumulation of hundreds of years of Han is really rich." Of course, the poor are only those people, the so-called rich, are those wealthy families, for example, the very elegant study room he occupies, is the master residence of the largest family in this place, judging from the furnishings of this small study, there is no decoration of hundreds of thousands of dollars can not be down, but unfortunately, his whole family has been cut down by himself, and this has become his own family wealth. ”

Now Cao Ren continues to sigh, the 20,000 cavalry he has in his hands is too few, because now these 20,000 cavalry have become a tool for his own fortune, it would be nice if there were 100,000 cavalry.

Driving the people to the north, this is Jia Xu's poisonous plan, but there is also a very critical root here, Jia Xu said to himself when he carried out his mission, all the people north of the Yellow River must be driven to Lu Peng's territory, and specially emphasized that this time, whether it is the people or the gentry, even those families with a very large influence will definitely not let go.

"It's really a poisonous ploy." Cao Ren had to admire Jia Xu's calculations, and drove the defenseless people into Lu Peng's office, which not only dragged Lu Peng's footsteps, ruined his reputation, but also made him carry a huge burden, these countless people want to eat and drink, Lu Peng must do his best to provide them with food, otherwise there will be starvation, which will greatly blow Lu Peng's reputation, and now the grain and grass that Lu Peng and the state can provide is absolutely limited, this place he has just arrived in less than two years, even under Lu Peng's most shrewd governance, The amount of food that can be produced in the chaotic place is very limited, and he must deliver grain and grass here from his base of Youzhou.

Now nearly a million people, even if they only eat half full, what they consume that day is an astronomical amount, and this data is only 1/10 of the grain transported here from Youzhou. Because the stupidest people can calculate that after a long and long distance of transportation, people eat horses and chew, you have to consume ten times, and this alone can completely make Lu Peng's savings for several years go down the drain in a blink of an eye.

As for his side, he has received a lot of money.

Now the grain and grass in his hands can be enough to support the future army for three or four months, and when his lord Cao Cao arrives with an army of 800,000, the supply of grain and grass will be very abundant.

Anyway, if you do this, it doesn't matter if you do the damage to your own place north of the Yellow River, because this place is about to become a vast battlefield, and everything will be burned. At the same time, in this drive and looting, as long as you share two layers of wealth, then your family can be rich and rival the country.

This is really a good way to kill several birds with one stone, consume the enemy, enrich yourself, and at the same time make yourself rich privately, so Cao Ren snorted with satisfaction.

To say that Lu Peng is really pitiful, he is burdened by a false reputation that cherishes the people, and in the end, when the two armies face each other, in fact, they don't have to fight him to the death, they have to confront each other, and in the end Lu Peng will be swallowed up by its huge burden.

While pitying Lu Peng, Cao Ren also had to admire Lu Peng's strange skills, he not only invented the weird catapult lathe, but also invented this free chair, which does make people feel comfortable and comfortable, and in the gentle shaking, people have a sense of drowsiness.

At this time, Cao Ren sighed: "It's a pity that a shrewd Lu Peng is really a waste of talent." ”

Just when Cao Ren was thinking wildly, outside the door, a rush of footsteps came directly to his room.

Cao Ren couldn't help frowning, he had an absolute rule, except for the lord Cao Cao, anyone who came to his private room must pass through layers of notifications, although now he just occupied a room of someone else who had just been slaughtered by himself, but so what, now it is his own.

Since it is his own, he should follow his own rules, are all those servants and maids dead?

"Uncle, it's my nephew Cao Zhen." There was such a report from outside the door. Cao Ren stood up on the free chair, because this Cao Zhen must not be offended, the first he has become the adopted son of his lord, and he is absolutely reused. Another point is that he is the most elite cavalry commander under his command, and he is also his strongest fist.

Cao Ren happily said outside: "Come in quickly, I have freshly brewed tea here, it is fragrant." But I thought in my heart, I don't know why this guy ran back in a hurry, is it because he wants to send people to carry those massive amounts of grain, grass and money?

Cao Zhen strode in the door, and did not greet the teapot in Cao Ren's hand, but directly reported: "Uncle, Zhao Yun is here." ”

The teapot in Cao Ren's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and it immediately shattered.

Zhao Yun, not to mention his invincible martial arts in the world, just to say that the power in his hands now, Cao Ren has self-knowledge, and it is definitely not his own 20,000 iron horsemen who can fight against it, this is really worrying about something.

"Where did they go? How many centaurs are there? How is the combat effectiveness? ”

Cao Zhen replied cautiously: "There have been 5,000 of them, and 2,000 have been annihilated by me, and I think the others are coming in a steady stream." ”

Cao Ren's eyes lit up at that time: "5,000 Zhao Yun's iron horse, 2,000 annihilated by you?" Cao Ren knew that his nephew was a very steady and sincere person, and he would never lie about his military exploits. He said to annihilate the enemy 2000, then it was definitely 2000.

So he said with a relaxed expression: "It seems that the world-famous Zhao Yun's iron cavalry is nothing more than that, you face the enemy 5000 with 3000 subordinates, and easily annihilate the enemy 2000, it seems that you still retreat with your whole body, now I can rest assured." ”

This should indeed be reassuring, judging from this collision, Zhao Yun is nothing more than that.
