Cao Cao has lived in Yecheng for more than half a year, and he is very satisfied with this place now, but he is a little uneasy when he sees that there is no city wall to protect it on all sides, and when he is about to order the construction of the city wall, he chooses to give up, because he thinks of the gunpowder army mastered by his eldest son Cao Ang, for which the city wall is a joke.

After thinking about this, Cao Cao gave up building the city wall at a cost of money and turned his energy to dealing with the local clans.

After beating Xu Yu and cleaning up the unsatisfied clans here, the rest are basically willing to take refuge, and wooing those who are inclined to himself and rejecting the disobedient are simply easy for Cao Cao.

In addition to Xu You, Cao Cao also has a person who is very suitable for doing this, that is, Hua Xin, as a southerner, he will naturally not be soft when he cleans up these clans in the north, and it is also different from Xu You's blind beheading policy, basically achieving clear rewards and punishments, and began to suppress those old clans through coercion, and through inducement to win over some medium-sized clans, in short, Hua Xin did a very good job.

After the local clan was stabilized, Xun You also began to envelop the people's hearts, and now Yecheng has changed its previous hatred, and the frequent riots have gradually been quelled, and at the beginning there were people who raised the banner of rebellion to resist, and with the implementation of some decentralized policies for the benefit of the people, these people who resisted became fewer and fewer.

The common people are like this, more people are willing to stay in the fields to weed and cultivate, and then through labor to feed and clothe the family, instead of holding weapons to fight for some great righteousness, as for who will rule the land, they don't care at all, as long as the new lord can let them eat, then it is a good lord.

Cao Cao is still firmly implementing his cantonment policy, and the biggest advantage of this policy is that it can quickly resume production, so that the people can settle down earlier, and it can also produce more food security troops to go to war.

Because of this, Cheng Yu resigned from Luoyang, went north to Yecheng, and brought the farming techniques learned from Luoyang, as well as a large amount of chemical fertilizers, and now the grain production in the north can be expected.

With the participation and help of these old staff, all government decrees are naturally handy, Cao Cao also feels extremely relieved for this, fighting the world is not a skill for him, what he really needs to do is governance, at present, he feels that he has done a good job.

Although the farming in the current situation has suffered several natural disasters, but there has been no food shortage as in the past, over the years, the number of people dying of starvation is gradually decreasing, since they can eat, they will naturally be peaceful in the world, so Cao Cao at this moment does have the capital to be proud of.

When he thought of this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised slightly, he left Xu Capital and moved to Yecheng, so he could slap those fools who always said that the Son of Heaven was blackmailing the princes to the greatest extent, once the entire north was pacified, should he also go to the next level?

It's not bad to have a king with a different surname or something, it's very good.

Although Xu Du's current city order is Cao Ren, but Xun Yu has been retained, Cao Cao feels that this arrangement is very appropriate, Xun Yu, as the secretary of the Son of Heaven, actually exists for supervision, which makes it impossible for Cao Ren to do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise with his temperament, he will definitely provoke Yuan Yun's kid from time to time, and the worst thing is to make him disgraced every time, and it is not appropriate to find someone to take care of some after all.

Supervising Cao Ren in this way is equivalent to giving Luoyang on the side a more stable development space.

It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that Cao Ren still took action, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

Nowadays, the world's business will be Luoyang, which has become a trend, so that Cao Ren originally thought that he could choke Luoyang's throat by occupying Xu Du, and basically all of them failed, so he would always find some bad excuses to come out and close the business road to Luoyang.

The result can be imagined, the businessmen simply bypassed Xu Du directly, so that Xu Du fell into bad luck, because of the loss of a large amount of taxes, and because of this, Xu Du was almost isolated, and all kinds of materials became skyrocketing.

Cao Cao handed over Xu Du to Cao Ren for more than half a year, and Xu Du became extremely depressed, and in the end, Xun Yu came forward, which made Cao Ang help, otherwise a city that Cao Cao worked so hard to build would really be closed.

In this regard, Cao Ren was inevitably punished by Cao Cao, but in this way, he hated Cao Ang and Yuan Yun even more, because he never thought he was wrong.

As for Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was left behind, he basically wouldn't care about this kind of thing, since Cao Cao left Cao Ren and Xun Yu to make decisions for him, he was so happy that he didn't care about anything, he only felt that he was living in heaven now, Cao Cao lived in Yecheng and didn't come back, so he finally let this son of heaven finally breathe a trace of free air, so he decided to enjoy life and show his strength in the harem.

"Spring rains are as expensive as oil, and as soon as these rains fall, the crops in the fields don't have to worry." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he closed the paperwork in his hand, then left the desk and walked to the window.

Guo Jia followed a few steps closer, and also followed Cao Cao's gaze to look out the window, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, now that the Yecheng government decree is very convenient, spring plowing will definitely not be delayed." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "With you here, the old man will naturally not worry about anything." ”

After speaking, Cao Cao looked farther away and continued: "Let's not talk about these things first, how is the situation in Youzhou?" ”

Guo Jia immediately replied: "Back to the lord, Cao Ang's gunpowder army has arrived in Youzhou, and now that several armies have been encircled, Yuan Xi can't hold out for long." ”

After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia finish speaking, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said with some displeasure: "The gunpowder army arrived half a month early, why didn't you do it for a long time, although Yuan Xi's fortifications were strong, they couldn't help the sharp weapons of the gunpowder army, what were they waiting for?" ”

It is rare for Guo Jia to see the lord Cao Cao so eager, even when his old enemy Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated, he could patiently wait for a better time, but now he is anxious for a little Yuan Xi, which is really unreasonable.

However, recently, this kind of eagerness has been shown more and more, proving that the lord Cao Cao is a little proud, and he is no longer willing to operate carefully, step by step, which is really not a good thing, but now if he is persuaded, I am afraid that things will be worse, and I can only hope that the lord Cao Cao can wake up by himself.

Slightly relieved, Guo Jiacai replied: "I heard that Yuan Hou set up a chess piece when he broke Ye City, and encircled the relatives of Yuan Xi's general Jiao Touch, and now Cao Ang Shizi is waiting for this chess piece to play a role." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and immediately smiled: "The old man's son-in-law is always surprising, he can also make arrangements in advance for such a distant matter, sometimes I really think that this immortal disciple will be unpredictable, otherwise it would not be so powerful, Fengxiao, if you come, how long can you expect it to be later?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Eight months at most, and I'm afraid it won't be very bright in the future." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "You are better than the old man, the old man can predict things in five months at most, but that kid can predict things in the next two years, it's really not surprising, this is more like a demon." ”

After speaking, Cao Cao had already returned to the house from the window, patted the desk in front of him, and changed the topic: "Luoyang is now back to life again, even more prosperous than in the past, if Yuan Yun is not only like a god, but also a good hand in organizing production and building cities, this time the old man ordered Cao Ang to bring the gunpowder army to help, originally planned to let Yuan Yun lead the army, and also to test the strength of his troops, who knew that Cheng Yu seemed to understand the old man's meaning, so he let go of the kid, hum, a Yuan Xi only." , do you really think that the old man is uneven? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, Cao Cao was taboo about Yuan Yun's ability after all, but it was no wonder, after all, he was so young, but he had so many powerful skills, and anyone would be worried.

After all, the age of the lord Cao Cao is there, once he waits for the ancients, he will naturally worry about whether Cao Ang can suppress an outstanding talent like Yuan Yun, if he finally makes someone else's wedding dress after a lifetime of hard work, this will definitely be unwilling.

It's just that Yuan Yun's lazy temperament can't be ambitious no matter how you look at it, Guo Jia is very sure of this, not only him, but also Cao Cao's staff.

Cheng Yu probably didn't misunderstand what the lord Cao Cao meant, but deliberately let Yuan Yun go, just because he was worried that if Yuan Yun shined again in the crusade against Yuan Xi, he would definitely fall into a lot of unnecessary suspicions, so how could such a happy old guy not know how powerful this was in public?

After thinking about this, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Now that Miss Qinghe also has a child, the lord should go to the house more often, after all, Miss Qinghe is the lord's favorite daughter, otherwise he simply took Miss Qinghe to live in Yecheng, so as not to worry about the lord always worry, as for Yuan Yun's kid, naturally he will not object, at most, he will work harder, just run a few more times." ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head, and then smiled: "Fengxiao doesn't have to worry that the old man will be suspicious of Yuan Yun's son, you kidnapped his wife to live with the old man, wouldn't it make the old man want to take his daughter as a hostage, even if Yuan Yun doesn't say it, his heart must be unhappy, the old man has not been so mediocre, and look at the performance of this kid in the past few years, if someone says that Yuan Yun will rebel, the old man thinks that he is too lazy to move, such a lazy character, the old man still clearly understands." ”

Guo Jia heard Cao Cao say this, his heart was a little relieved, he deliberately mentioned Cao Qinghe just now, it was deliberately said, so that the lord Cao Cao would not really think about it, as for playing this kind of cleverness to the lord, he Guo Jia never felt any guilt.

Cao Cao was already sitting behind his desk at the moment, and after unfolding a volume of documents, he frowned and said: "Yuan Xi is not afraid, the old man is worried about those Karasuma on horseback now, recently they have crossed the border more and more times, and Yuan Xi has also adopted an indulgent attitude, which has caused the people of Youzhou to be miserable." ”

Guo Jia immediately arched his hand and said: "Now that Yuan Shang has also fled to Youzhou, when Yuan Xi feels that he can't resist it, the two brothers will inevitably flee north, and if they connive at Karasuma, I'm afraid they are preparing to pave the way back." ”

Cao Cao nodded, then sighed deeply, and said: "Yuan Benchu was famous, but he didn't want to give birth to a son who was so useless, the old man was not worth it for him, his heroic appearance back then, I don't know who he inherited it to, the descendants of the Yuan family in the north, there is no one who can pick the big beam, but it's a pity that the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Looking at the way he educates his son, you can see the ability to be Lao Tzu, which Yuan Shao really can't compare with the lord, and it's no wonder that the north seemed to be strong back then, but it was completely vulnerable. ”

Cao Cao was very comfortable by Guo Jia's accidental sycophancy, and leaned back in the seat leisurely, before he suddenly smiled and said: "After Yuan Xi is cleaned up, Fengxiao will go north with the old man to conquer Karasuma, and the great cause of the champion Hou Huo to get sick, the old man must do it again." ”

Guo Jia bowed deeply when he heard this, and said, "I should accompany the lord." ”
