After a birthday feast, a game became popular among Cao Ying's higher-ups. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Gao Ye's birthday gift to Cao Song, not only there are elegant gifts such as calligraphy works, but also a very popular game in later generations - mahjong. Speaking of mahjong, Gao Ye is no stranger to this, since he was a child, he has a grandmother who loves to play mahjong, so that Gao Ye has learned to play mahjong since he can remember.

But since he came to this world, Gao Ye has never thought about mahjong. When I was a child, I studied with my master, and I either practiced martial arts or read books every day, so where did I have time to tinker with these things. Later, when he became an official, he either did government affairs or fought wars every day, and he had no time. After getting married, there is a temptation of ten zhang soft red, and mahjong can be regarded as nothing. That is, when preparing a birthday gift for Cao Song this time, he suddenly thought of an entertainment killer like mahjong, so he ordered someone to make a pair and give it to Cao Song as a birthday gift.

Since the birthday banquet, after taking Cao Song, Cao Cao and a group of Cao family children to play once, mahjong, a game that is both simple and not simple, has completely become the new favorite of Cao Cao's subordinates. Fortunately, everyone is quite restrained, knowing that they still have official business to do, although everyone still occasionally rubs hemp together in their spare time, but no one abolishes the public for personal reasons. If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Yu, a guy who couldn't stand it, scolded everyone for being Wen Tian and martial arts, and ruined the atmosphere of the world, I'm afraid Cao Song would not be the only one who is addicted to mahjong.

Seeing Cheng Yu's anger, Gao Ye also smiled, who let the mahjong thing be caused by himself? Cheng Yu scolded others for Wen Tian and Wu Huan, and even criticized himself, saying that he didn't need to be on the right path if he had talent, and he had to engage in these crooked things, which was really not doing his job.

Finally waiting for this guy to point out that he was tired, Gao Ye hurriedly changed the topic and got down to business. It's the beginning of March, the weather is getting warmer, and everything is recovering. Whether it is military affairs or agricultural affairs, there are a lot of problems, waiting for everyone to discuss them, so that we can decide on this year's tasks and plans. This habit was learned by Xun Yu when he followed Gao Ye to govern Yingchuan, and he felt that Gao Ye's method was good, so since he took refuge in Cao Cao, the planning at the beginning of the year and the year-end summary have become untouchable conventions.

Among the people present, it was Zao You who took the lead in speaking: "My lord, now that Yuzhou has been pacified, it is natural to do the things of Tuntian." It's just that the population in Runan, Chenguo, and Peiguo is insufficient, and the lord is also asked to launch an army. You can't let all the fertile land be barren. ”

Who is talking about anything, Zaoyi, this guy, now the official residence is a big farmer, and he is in charge of agricultural affairs, of course, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a matter of farming. Now that it is the sowing season, how can the jujube not be anxious. Liu Pi and Gong Du, who were appointed as captains of the Diannong School by Gao Ye, are now also an official residence Taicang order, an official residence guide official order, and they are all court officials with a rank of 600 stones. Now he is also running around day and night for Tuntian, so Zaoyi, who is in the main hall, hopes to get Cao Cao's approval. After all, Yuzhou has vast land and many rivers, so it is the best place to grow grain.

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Xun Yu on the side, if he talked about governing the local area and handling government affairs, he had to look at Xun Yu's opinion. Xun Yu saw Cao Cao looking at him, and then said, "Lord Zao is reasonable. Now there is Li Tong Taishou and 30,000 elite soldiers in Runan, and there is no difficulty in implementing the military cantonment. Moreover, since the beginning of the year, a large number of refugees from Lujiang County have fled to Runan. It is also necessary to let Li Taishou collect the displaced people and implement the people's tun. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Grain and grass have always been the top priority, although Zizhong can buy a lot of grain through business contacts, but we still have to try our best to be self-sufficient." The lifeblood of grain and grass must not be held in the hands of others. Zao, you can do it with confidence, and I will also give the order of Juntun. Wen Ruo, sent an order to Li Tong of Runan, telling him to accept as many displaced people as possible, Yuan Highway caused trouble to the people, but it was cheap for us to wait, wouldn't it be happy! Ha ha! ”

Xun Yu also arched his hand when he heard this: "Obey." Moreover, Yuan Shu plundered the people's wealth to support his extravagant life, so that Huainan could no longer be afraid, and the lord could also focus all his energy on Xuzhou. ”

Zao Yi had already gotten the answer he wanted, so he naturally bowed down and retreated. Now that Xun Yu has shifted the topic to military strategy, Zao You, the big Si Nong, naturally doesn't say much. Not in his position and not seeking politics has always been his criterion for being an official. Besides, he is not good at military strategy, so it is better to listen quietly at such a time. I'm really not interested, but I can also think more in my mind, how to arrange the plan, how to carry out spring ploughing, in order to maximize efficiency.

Therefore, as soon as Xun Yu's words fell, Cheng Yu, who had just rested for a while, immediately said: "What Wen Ruo said is reasonable. Now Liu Bei covets the land of Xuzhou in his heart, and he even wrote to ask the lord for help. The big battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei is about to break out, and the lord should also prepare early at this time, and once the time comes, he will immediately send troops to capture Xuzhou. ”

Guo Jia also smiled on the side: "Yes, it is said that not long ago, that Zhang Fei openly robbed Lu Bujun's horses, and Lu Bute sent his general Wei Xu to Xingshi to ask for guilt. If it weren't for Liu Bei's forbearance, I'm afraid that a fight would have started now. I see, as long as the lord adds fire to Liu Bei, the Xuzhou Rebellion is imminent. ”

After all, Guo Jia is in charge of the spy department, so it is not strange to be able to tell these secrets. With this piece of news at the bottom, everyone is looking forward to the chaos in Xuzhou. In particular, the generals led by Xiahoudun geared up one by one and began to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou. Cao Cao also smiled when he heard this: "In this case, how do you think you should add a fire to Liu Bei and make this Xuzhou chaotic as soon as possible?" ”

Gao Ye said with a smile on the side: "This matter is simple, let me bring a team of men and horses, and the troops can be sent to Qingzhou." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, now Yuan Tan is still struggling to seek Qingzhou, but unfortunately under Beihai City, until now, he can't break through Pan Zhang's defense. Now the situation in Qingzhou is quite favorable to himself, which not only prevents Yuan Shao from getting Qingzhou, but also does not openly fight with Yuan Shao. As long as you take Xuzhou, occupy the land of Sanzhou, and turn around and take Qingzhou again, you can prepare to officially fight with Yuan Shao. If you go to attack Qingzhou now, I'm afraid it will anger Yuan Shao.

However, Cao Cao and others, although they thought of the threat that might come, how could they not think of the benefits in it. Now he wants to help Liu Bei, but it is difficult to send troops to Xuzhou directly. After all, Lu Bu and Liu Bei have not yet started a war, and if they are pressed by large soldiers, it is difficult to guarantee that these two people will not have the same hatred for the enemy. But if it is to send troops to Qingzhou, it is very different, first, the main target of their troops is not them, and the two of them will not have much backlash against this. Second, if he occupies Qingzhou, he will threaten the safety of Xuzhou from the north. At that time, Lu Bu had to divide his troops to garrison Langya in case of accidents, so that the pressure on Xiaopei's direction was greatly reduced, but it could give Liu Bei some confidence. Under the elimination of the other's strengths, Liu Bei may not be able to hold it back, and will directly raise troops to attack Lu Bu.

Speaking of which, this is the most appropriate way to add fuel to the situation in Xuzhou. If he simply gave Liu Bei money and food and asked him to recruit troops and horses, it would be easy to become a big deal at that time. It's just that if he offends Yuan Shao and asks him to shift his gaze from Gongsun Chan to himself, what can he do?

Before he could think it out, Xun Yu on the side smiled and said, "Mingxi is doing a great deal." Now Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, although the north row Tian Kai, but Beihai City is delayed. If you can give Mingxi the name of Qingzhou Mu, Mingxi will be able to easily win Qingzhou. In this way, it can not only promote the progress of the situation in Xuzhou, but also serve as a soldier and horse to respond all the way when the lord conquers Xuzhou. ”

Dong Zhao frowned and said, "It's just Yuan Shao's side, I'm afraid he won't be happy." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Gongren may not know that Fengxiao received news that now the soldiers and horses of Jizhou are all stationed in Zhongshan and Hejian, and they are fully prepared for the conquest of Gongsun Zhan." In this case, he was dissatisfied, and he would not lead the army to kill Ben Yanzhou. The transfer of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses is the most taboo to change the order of the day, how can Yuan Benchu not know? He just wants to come, and he has to wait until Gongsun Chan is pacified. Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army still threatened his rear from time to time, and when he pacified Gongsun Zhan, the lord had already occupied Xuzhou, so what was he afraid of? ”

Cao Cao nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Gongda's words are reasonable, the advantages of sending troops to Qingzhou do outweigh the disadvantages, Mingxi, how many soldiers and horses do you need to go to Qingzhou?" ”

Gao Ye thought carefully when he heard this, and then said: "According to me, 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough. Yuan Tan does not have many soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, if I go to Beihai as a Qingzhou pastor, there are Pan Zhang in Beihai City and soldiers and horses in the city, and I don't dare to look south for the time being. As long as 10,000 soldiers and horses are led by generals, it is easy to sweep away Donglai. ”

"Having said that, it's true, but if you want to go south to Xuzhou, isn't it a little too strong?" Dong Zhao asked.

"Gongren's words are inevitably a little interesting." Gao Ye said with a smile, "Qingzhou has a large population, although it has been incorporated by the lord of nearly two million Yellow Turban tribes, but the population of Qingzhou at this time is still one million. As long as I occupy Qingzhou, I can recruit troops on the spot, not to mention that the lord has a very high prestige in the hearts of these Qingzhou people, if I go with 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers, I can recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in an instant, and Gongren does not have to worry. ”

Dong Zhao nodded when he heard this, and then stopped speaking. However, Gao Ye didn't mean to stop, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, there is one more thing in the end, I hope the lord can agree." ”

"Let's talk about it."

"It's natural no problem to go to Qingzhou and occupy Beihai and Donglai. Qingzhou is close to the sea, and now I rely on the relationship between my father-in-law and the Jiangdong Gu family to get a group of boatmen, as well as boat drawings, and even water experts like Gan Ning. Therefore, I would like to ask the lord to allow me to establish a naval army in Donglai immediately after I take Qingzhou. ”
