Yuan Yun took over all the work of the construction of the new city, but the court did not give him any official position, which made Cao Chong very unhappy, but Yuan Yun didn't care, and this arrangement can also be said to be a kind of tacit understanding between him and Cao Ang, one is unwilling to be an official for a long time, and the other is unwilling to delegate too much power.

And the reason why Yuan Yun chose to build a new city in the northeast of Luoyang, in fact, the biggest purpose is to block the road leading to the north here, it was very difficult to do this before, but now that he has great power in his hands, he can even mobilize part of Luoyang's defense army, and it is much easier to do this.

Cao Chong had placed Deng Ai in the ranks of the defenders a long time ago, and at this moment three times a day inspection has become the norm, resulting in some of Sima Yi's arrangements have indeed been greatly hindered, but these Sima Yi did not make any counterattacks, after all, now he blindly just wants to keep a low profile, so the personnel sent to Liaodong have also been reduced to the extreme.

And Yuan Yun's arrangement to block the road to the north, the biggest purpose is to let Deng Ai's special forces enter and exit more smoothly, now because the world is peaceful, so the household registration system has returned to normal, coupled with Luoyang's advanced household registration system, the management has become much stricter, making Deng Ai's special forces have become a big problem very early.

Now that the paperwork for customs clearance is in hands again, these special forces are soon back to normal operations, and a large amount of news from the north is constantly being sent back.

Today's north under Cao Cao's management, almost the first land in the country to settle down, the relative private production has also recovered the fastest, and after Cao Ang took over, began to introduce a large number of advanced systems and technologies in Luoyang, and the north has become another major source of income for the imperial court.

And after Cao Zhang swept the Karasuma and Xianbei tribes, the northern grassland border is now unusually stable, in such an environment, those merchants in the Central Plains will naturally not give up the opportunity to make money, so a large amount of trade began to open there, if Chang'an and Luoyang are the largest trade markets in the Western Regions, then Youzhou is a big trade market in the face of many ethnic minorities in the north.

Looking at the large amount of northern intelligence sent back, Yuan Yun was most concerned about Su Jie's report, and now he has mastered a lot of northern nobles who are connected with Sima Yi, in addition, Yuan Yun was even more surprised to find that the trade in Youzhou far exceeded expectations, and these have never been seen in the documents of the imperial court.

Cao Ang and the officials of the court did not seem to have expected that Youzhou would become such a huge trading city, and in their concept, the barbarians such as Karasuma or Xianbei were poor existences, and the opening of trade to the Central Plains was more like a kind of grace from the imperial court.

It was only when the data collected by Su Jie was placed in front of him that Yuan Yun gasped again and again, there was not much error between the trade flow of animal husbandry and the report to the imperial court, but in some mineral resources, this error was simply the south and the north.

"Hey, where did all this amount of coal go? In addition, the main livestock is indeed recorded, but the fur of the livestock is not recorded at all, which is also a huge income. Cao Chong looked through Su Jie's records and couldn't believe his eyes.

Immediately, Cao Chong slammed his fist on the table, and then frowned: "Could it be that these are all greedy for ink by Sima Yi?" Is he really so bold? ”

Yuan Yun was silent for a long time, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just that Sima Yi alone may not be able to cover the sky with such a hand, there must be the help of other people in the Sima family behind this, and these nobles in the north also play a great role, if you want to say who is the head snake in the north, these local clans are definitely the first to bear the brunt." ”

Before Yuan Yun's words fell, he saw Deng Ai walk in angrily, and then sat on the opposite side of the desk, and then a trace of shame appeared on his face.

Seeing Deng Ai like this, Cao Chong wondered: "What made you like this?" I've always been confident when I see you. ”

Deng Ai glanced at Yuan Yun again, and then replied: "The special forces sent to Liaodong by Diao Chan were all wiped out, and no one could come back alive, it seems that the guards over there are very tight, and our people can't get in at all." ”

Yuan Yun was also a little surprised when he heard the news, you must know that the special forces are different from other troops, they are a batch of forces specially trained by Yuan Yun, and the cost alone consumes the huge financial resources of the Yuan Mansion, not to mention the training investment that has been spent on this year.

It is indeed very surprising that such a strong army has been wiped out in Liaodong now, and no one can escape back.

"In this way, Sima Yi is definitely making a big plan in Liaodong, but we can't see what he's doing now, so we still don't know where to start." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he began to ponder, after all, Liaodong was too far away, and the means that could be used were very limited.

Deng Ai felt very ashamed of Yuan Yun, so he stood up again, then hugged his fists and said, "Master, don't worry, I will go in person this time, and I won't come back if I don't find out Sima Yi's arrangements in Liaodong." ”

Yuan Yun saw that Deng Ai was so excited, and hurriedly asked Cao Chong to stop him, and he himself seemed to have come up with some clues, but he couldn't form it for a while, so he didn't say much and remained silent.

At this time, I only heard Xiaoliu report that Cao Zhang came to ask for a meeting.

Hearing Cao Zhang's name, Yuan Yun immediately laughed, then tapped on the desktop and said, "I have already thought of the method, and I just handed it over to Cao Zhang." ”

Just when Cao Chong and Deng Ai were confused, Cao Zhang had already walked into the study, saluted everyone a little, and then sat on Deng Ai's side, and then said with a smile: "I heard that my brother-in-law completely suppressed that Sima Yi in the court, it is really happy, he murdered my Uncle Cao Ren back then, and this revenge will have to be calculated with him sooner or later...... Ay? ”

Cao Zhang's words were halfway through when he found that Cao Chong and Deng Ai were both staring at him, and he suddenly felt very stunned, wondering what had happened and why the two younger brothers were trying to look at him with an extremely confused expression.

Seeing such a scene, Yuan Yun smiled and said, "It just so happened that the three of us just talked about Xiao Zhang, and you came in, so the two of them had such a reaction." ”

Cao Zhang sighed, but like Cao Chong and Deng Ai, his eyes became confused, and then he looked at Yuan Yun and asked, "Brother-in-law, does you have something to hand over to me to do?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded, but did not answer directly, but pointed to the location of the tea table, and then the four of them moved to the tea table.

Finally, Cao Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, so he continued to ask curiously: "Brother-in-law, why is it so entangled, if you think things are too difficult, I, Cao Zhang, can guarantee that I will go all out, so my brother-in-law doesn't have to hide it anymore, just say it." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, and then said with a smile: "Back then, you fought a few years in the Liaodong area, and the folk customs and foreign tribes over there knew each other very well, are there any people among them who will cause chaos?" ”

Cao Zhang's whole person was stunned when he heard Yuan Yun ask like this, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but Cao Chong couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "What is my brother-in-law planning to do, it's better to say it directly, lest we hear half of it." ”

Yuan Yun explained: "If there is a rebellion in Liaodong, then the army will naturally need to suppress it, and most of the troops are in charge of our uncles, so we can definitely appoint Xiao Zhang as the commander at that time, so that we can justifiably go and see what is happening in Liaodong." ”

Under Deng Ai's explanation, Cao Zhang already understood the overall plan, so he immediately said: "Since we want to make trouble, then we must make a big move, otherwise the scale is too small, and the local legion can deal with it, so we still have no chance." ”

When Yuan Yun heard Cao Zhang say this, he immediately laughed, because he already understood that Cao Zhang must have a choice, so he said so.

Sure enough, Cao Zhang was silent for a moment and then continued: "Back then, General Zhao Yun and I swept the ground survey over there, and the main blow was the Xianbei Ministry, and most of the Sanhan families were deterrents, so their strength should be reserved, and when I dealt with the Xianbei Ministry, I still left some behind-the-scenes ......."

When Cao Chong heard this, he immediately rushed to say: "Brother Cao Zhang said that he didn't do his best back then?" ”

Cao Zhang smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't do my best, at that time, if we destroy the entire Xianbei tribe, we can do it, but we ourselves will also suffer a lot of war damage, and in the end I chose to compromise and keep a part of the Xianbei tribes, although we robbed them in turn, but they didn't cause much damage, just hope that they have a chance to make a comeback."

When these people grow stronger, there will inevitably be right and wrong, and then we will have a reason to go on a crusade again, and when we pass again, we must be fully prepared, and this time we will definitely defeat them completely.

Now that my brother-in-law has mentioned this, I think the fine work that I left behind will start to play a role, as long as a few tribes are instigated to start a rebellion, the Xianbei Zhengbu will inevitably follow, I believe that after receiving this news, the Sanhan family will definitely think that the opportunity has come, and they will inevitably join forces with the Xianbei people, so a huge rebellion will be formed, which is not something that the local army can deal with. ”

Yuan Yun listened to Cao Zhang's words, his jaw was about to fall, he felt that Cao Zhang always looked like a fierce general, but he forgot that this little guy had grown into a strategist in the real sense after countless battle formations, and left this foreshadowing in order to be able to eliminate all the troubles in the future.

"Xiao Zhang must be the best candidate for this matter, so the affairs of the foreign clans in Liaodong will be handed over to you to control, and we will concentrate on dealing with the imperial court." Yuan Yun finally made a summary. ()
