Hearing Yuan Yun's request to get the command of the tiger and leopard ride, the whole audience, including Cao Cao, was stunned, no one expected that Yuan Yun's stingy man's problem would explode so quickly, and he would have to fight back in person, which was really a bad gentleman.

Cao Ren howled angrily, and the dust on the ceiling fell a lot, and he said angrily: "Xiao'er is bold, how dare you beat the old man's idea of riding a tiger and a leopard?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's all to blame General Cao Chun for being careless, and as a result, he broke his leg, and now the horse can't be ridden, and he still occupies the leading position of the tiger and leopard ride, which is really inappropriate, and remind General Cao Ren that the tiger and leopard ride is not your private army, how can it become the tiger and leopard ride of the 'old man'?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room showed a look of disdain, Cao Chun's leg was broken by Yuan Yun with a shot, this is simply a well-known fact, and now he is said this, as if an accident had happened, shameless.

Seeing that Cao Ren's face was flushed with anger, Yuan Yun didn't wait for the other party to refute, and immediately continued: "But Ben Hou put forward this opinion, it is not without a target, if the tiger and leopard ride to Ben Hou to train, it is guaranteed that within half a year, it will be a strong army that can throw gunpowder bombs on horseback, haven't you thought about the power of this?" ”

Cao Cao wanted to say that Yuan Yun was messing around, but when he heard the last sentence, he fell silent, Xiao Liu has been reporting that Yuan Yun trained what special soldiers, and in the end it turned out that the special soldiers are indeed stronger than the average army, and they are not a little stronger.

After thinking about it again, Cao Cao said: "The old man still needs to think about the use of the tiger and leopard ride, but it is not impossible, Zixiao will go back and inform Cao Chun, this matter needs to be prepared in advance." ”

Cao Ren chuckled in his heart, he never dreamed that Cao Cao really moved his mind, the tiger and leopard riding has always been grasped by the Cao clan, and it is absolutely incredible to hand it over to Yuan Yun, an outsider, to train at this moment.

Guo Jia suddenly stood up at this moment, and when he saw the look on his face, Yuan Yun guessed that this product came out now, it must have come out to mend the knife, and if you want to talk about who was the most professional in mending the knife in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was definitely this guy who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Sure enough, I saw Guo Jia arch his hand, and immediately smiled at Cao Cao: "Lord Qiqi, the matter of training can also be placed after the matter of testing Yecheng, Yuan Hou just said that this expedition needs to call the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the task of the tiger and leopard cavalry is mainly to prevent the capital, but now there are no enemies around Xudu, and it is natural and safe to have General Cao Ren to defend it, so it is better to call it to cooperate with the gunpowder army to attack Yecheng, so it is more secure." ”

Xu Chu also jumped out immediately and laughed: "Guo Jiajun said very well, I and Xiahou Lao'er are both infantry, and the gunpowder army is also a two-legged team, and the lack of a cavalry is really a lot less combat power, I think this matter is reliable." ”

"Reliable?" Cao Cao was a little confused by Xu Chu's new words, and he figured it out in an instant, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile, and then thought about it carefully.

Yuan Yun praised Chu Zhennai God in his heart, he Yuan Yun put forward the request to call the tiger and leopard cavalry, the biggest drawback is that he does not understand the military formation strategy, but at this moment, General Xu Chu jumped out and pointed out that all the infantry is not good at combat, so it is logical to call the tiger and leopard cavalry.

In the end, Cao Cao was about to agree to Yuan Yun's request, but saw that Cao Ren had already knelt down in the middle of the study, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord, the tiger and leopard ride has always been in the hands of the Cao family, how can outsiders interfere?"

In addition, the old man's younger brother Cao Chun has already lost a leg, and now he is deprived of the right to command the army, it is better for the old man to go back and kill him with a knife, so as not to watch him suffer. ”

Cao Cao squinted slightly, nodded and said: "Zixiao, why should you be like this, the old man didn't say that he was going to deprive Cao Chun of the right to command the army, but he was just included in the queue of this expedition, but since Cao Chun is no longer able to ride a horse, it is better for Zixiao to find another child in the clan to take care of this position." ”

When Cao Ren heard Cao Cao say this, he naturally made a grateful appearance, and immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Returning to the lord, it will be the safest arrangement for Lingshou Pavilion Hou Cao Zhen to lead the tiger and leopard riding on this expedition to Yecheng." ”

Cao Cao smiled, nodded and said, "If Zidan is out of the horse, the old man should be able to feel a lot more at ease." ”

At this time, Xu Chu also laughed and said, "If the Marquis of Lingshou Pavilion can become my wing, I will be relieved a lot, this is a good idea." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, although he knew who Cao Zhen was, but he didn't expect this person to be a person who was left and right, it was rare to make Cao Ren and Xu Chu have such a unified opinion, this person seems to be indeed capable.

Seeing Yuan Yun's face full of doubts, Cao Ang immediately explained in a low voice: "Cao Zhen is my father's adopted son, but he has been guarding the area of Chenliu all the year round, so he rarely appears in Xudu, but because he has been guarding Chenliu all the year round, he is very clear about the situation in Yecheng, and he is indeed the best candidate to lead the tiger and leopard to ride." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ang lowered his voice again and said: "Cao Zhen is a tough guy, with infinite strength, he once wrestled with Uncle Xu Chu, only a little bit worse, and Cao Zhen has a very good relationship with Uncle Xu Chu, he is half of Uncle Xu Chu's disciple, and the relationship on Cao Ren's side is also quite harmonious, after all, he was taken care of by Cao Ren when he was a child." ”

Yuan Yun almost figured it out, but he didn't know what the relationship between Cao Zhen and Cao Ang was, so he asked, "What is the relationship between Brother Cao Ang and this Cao Zhen?" ”

Cao Ang thought for a while and said, "Generally, he likes Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang's younger brothers very much, and every time he returns, he will take them to the street to play. ”

Yuan Yun immediately frowned when he heard this, since he is good friends with Cao Pi, I am afraid that he will still have a headache in the future, after all, when it comes to the matter of seizing the heir, how can Cao Zhen lean more to the side that is beneficial to him, and the relationship with Cao Ang is average, so he will naturally support Cao Pi, this reason is very simple.

At this moment, Guo Jia also nodded approvingly: "If it is Cao Zhen to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, it is indeed a good candidate, and the lord should agree to General Cao Ren's proposal." ”

Cao Cao saw that everyone did not object, he smiled, and said: "This is very good, but I want to see how capable my son is, then this time to test the battle of Yecheng, Cao Zhen will be in charge of the command of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he will lead 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to join the army in Chenliu." ”

Cao Ren immediately sighed, now he finally let go of a matter, as long as the tiger and leopard ride is still in the hands of the Cao family, then there is nothing to worry about, and he is still very smug, and he is very smug, and he brings out Cao Zhen, the person everyone likes, it is really a good move.

Everyone knows that Cao Zhen is good at leading troops, and Cao Zhen has a relatively harmonious relationship with everyone, and he will lead the tiger and leopard to ride in the future, even if it is nine out of ten, the most important thing is that Cao Zhen has a very good relationship with Cao Pi, and it will inevitably be his own help in the matter of seizing the heir in the future.

"Now that it is almost the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the princes should make every effort to prepare for this expedition, and recently the old man got a letter, saying that the Sun family in the south has risen rapidly, and now it has leveled the opposition forces in Yangzhou, and there is actually a secret division of the imperial court behind the back, and many local clans have benefited, so they will no longer oppose it, and this matter must be planned earlier." Cao Cao's words immediately changed the direction of the discussion.

Xun Yu only bowed his hand slightly at this time: "Lord, as for the situation in Yangzhou in the south, I still have to say that Yuan Hou has to say it, his business over there is not small." ”

Yuan Yun smiled awkwardly and replied: "Mr. Wen Ruo is afraid that he has misunderstood, most of the business in the south belongs to the Beihai Wang family, but it has nothing to do with the Yuan family, but the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan in Yangzhou must not be taken lightly, their current form is already the lord over there, and in a few years, when they gain a firm foothold, there will be no one in the south." ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said: "Sun Ce is a talent, but the impression given to the old man is more reckless, as for Sun Quan's kind of son, the old man didn't take it to heart, their Sun family's seizure of the south is just that the old man has focused on the north in recent years, and it is not too late for us to destroy Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, and then we will clean them up." ”

Yuan Yun instantly chuckled in his heart, Cao Cao's final defeat in Chibi probably started from this moment, because he actually had a contemptuous mind, and he would inevitably be bitten off a piece of meat if he had the idea of contempt for Sun Quan, not to mention that now that Sun Ce is still alive, what will become of the south in the future, I can't imagine it.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yungang wanted to admonish, but heard Xun You say: "The matter in the south should also be released, now our great enemy is still the northern Yuan faction, now Yuan Shang is entrenched in Yecheng, Yuan Tan is defending Qingzhou, even when the two of them are fighting each other, our army has not reaped any benefits, it can be seen that their strength is not simple, and according to the detailed report, the more northern Karasuma has been united with Yuan Xi, and is even willing to send cavalry south, which can be prevented earlier." ”

Cao Cao's eyes instantly became like frost, and he said coldly after a long time: "The foreign Hu people also dare to offend the old man and the tiger, wait for us to clean up Yuan Shang first, and then exterminate them at that time, this matter will not be too long, Karasuma has violated our northern border all the year round, Gongsun Chan is gone, they are even more unscrupulous, my Han nationality in the north has many people who have been robbed and killed by them, this old man will be written down for the time being, and he will be liquidated together." ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, and pointed at Yuan Yun again: "The construction of the city wall of Xudu has been completed, what does Yuan Hou plan to do with those laborers?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, thought for a while, and immediately understood, Cao Cao was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and after the construction of the city wall of Xudu, those laborers became people who only ate and did not work, so they wanted to be sent to Luoyang as soon as possible, which can be guessed with their butts.

In desperation, Yuan Yun bowed his hand slightly and said: "Then it's all sent to Luoyang, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and more people are really needed to help, but it's just ......"

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun paused slightly, then glanced at Cao Cao, and finally sighed, and continued: "It's just that the imperial court can allocate some grain and grass, so that these people's food in Luoyang can be guaranteed to a certain extent, after all, so many laborers are gathered in Luoyang at once, and the food will immediately become very tight." ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't answer directly, but looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu has long frowned, I don't know what happened in the past two years, there will be various disasters every year, resulting in the grain around Xudu is in poor harvest, if it is not for the early implementation of the tuntian system, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale food shortage.

Sighing deeply, Xun Yu nodded and said: "The old man will think of some ways, but Yuan Hou doesn't expect to be fundamentally satisfied, and more hopes that Yuan Hou will use means to ensure that these laborers who migrated to Luoyang can be fed, and the imperial court can only ensure that they will not starve on the way there." ”

Yuan Yun saw Xun Yu's expression, and knew that this was almost his greatest contribution, it seems that the food problem is not only plaguing Luoyang, but now Cao Cao's territory is very short of food, only Cao Hong's Wancheng is a strange existence.

Thinking of this is another sigh, even if Wancheng behaves so well, Cao Cao still has no plans to build water conservancy, in his opinion, Wancheng's water conservancy just plays a certain benefit, but most of the reason is that it depends on the time, this is a kind of 'ancient common sense' that is difficult to change, so he can only sigh.

When everyone hears the word food at this moment, it seems that they have become very difficult, this problem is a problem that has plagued everyone for a long time, and now there is basically no solution.
