431 Withdraw troops to give Cao Cao a chance

Liu Zhang is building Shanghai and perfecting his own sailor. After all, the future wars will be plundered in the way of justice from heaven, and Liu Zhang feels that he should build a powerful sailor. In the future, there will be a steam engine in the inland and an asphalt road, and whoever dares to be naughty in the future will give him justice from heaven once. In the future, officials in various localities will unconditionally implement the decrees, and this is the domineering they should have. Of course, this kind of thing still depends on the situation, after all, Liu Zhang always thinks very well.

"My lord is worried about the war in the north?" When the telegram came, Huang Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others had read it. After all, they are Liu Zhang's staff now, and these things have something to do with them. In just half a year, they were completely convinced. That's the real change, and that's clearly visible. There are too many different things than before, and the most important thing is that the development brought by Liu Zhang has made them feel indescribably convinced.

He shook his head and said, "Zijing, do you have anything to say?" The north seems to be in a mess, and Liu Bei is slowly encroaching on Yuan Tan's territory? Yuan Tan seems to be finishing the game, and it is estimated that Jizhou will come to me if he loses him. "Yuan Tan doesn't have any ability, and Liu Zhang doesn't plan to help him.

Lu Su smiled and said, "Why should the lord worry? It's better to withdraw the forces that contain Cao Cao, and then shrink to Shangcai. Once the lord withdraws his troops, then Cao Cao will definitely not sit idly by and watch Liu Bei occupy Qingzhou and Jizhou, if so, Cao Cao will definitely not be Liu Bei's opponent. Most likely, when Liu Bei occupied Qingzhou, Cao Cao sent troops to occupy Jizhou. As long as the lord has been standing still, it won't be long before Cao Cao and Liu Bei will fight. What the lord needs to do is to develop our sailors, and also station more troops in Xiliang. When Cao Cao and Liu Bei were almost done, Xiliang's iron cavalry went directly south to take Xuchang, and the sailors landed from here to penetrate Qingzhou, and sent troops to capture and merge with the state in Hanoi County. With the powerful strength of the lord, how could they be the opponents of the lord after many years of war? It only takes two years, and the unification of the world is just around the corner. ”

Lu Su started an analysis for Liu Zhang, in fact, Liu Zhang was not worried that he would not be able to beat these two people. After years of development, the hidden strength of Jingzhou and Chang'an has long been beyond Cao Cao's face. The union of the two only adds a little bit of trouble to themselves, but it will not do anything.

The battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao should be very exciting, at least now Yuan Tan's defeat has made many Jizhou families have thoughts. These people will fall to Liu Bei, but what if Liu Bei is defeated by Cao Cao? Will these people be falling towards Cao Cao, and when they defeat everyone, then they will not have the right to speak......

Huang Quan also came out and said: "The strategy of the lord and Zijing is very good, we don't need to be in a hurry now." Now we are telling development internally that all we need is time. Once there is enough time, Cao Cao is just a kitten and a puppy. ”

Earth cannons, mortars, and grenades being developed give them a sense of invincibility. This is not a level of competition at all, a naked teenager meets a strong man who is fully armed, even if he fights with his life, it is just an egg hitting a stone.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then give Wen Ping an order to withdraw Shang Cai's army." In addition, we simply brought some seafood to Cao Cao, told him that we would repair it again, and then let the Son of Heaven canonize me as the pastor of Jiaozhou. "Liu Zhang is already planning to make a move on Jiaozhou, as long as there is a scale here in Shanghai, Liu Zhang can overwhelm the border with a large army. At that time, Shi Xie didn't surrender before raising the flag?

Remembering that Sun Quan only occupied the entire Jiangdong region, Na Shixie came to surrender with people, which also increased Sun Quan's power for no reason. Of course, there is no power in that kind of place. However, this also shows that Shi Xie is still influential in the entire Jiaozhou region.

"The kind of place in the main bus state is barren and abnormal, and the wilderness is terrible, why does the lord want to hand over the state pastor?" This made Zhou Yu very puzzled, what is good about that kind of place in Jiaozhou.

Liu Zhang smiled, in this era when there is no hybrid rice, the real growth of grain is the three-season rice in the south, which is the real artifact. Potatoes can only be used as vegetables, and rice is the foundation. With this thing, Liu Zhang can also try to carry out the most basic crossbreeding with the local rice, maybe it will increase the yield?

"In the south, there is a Cochin county, where there is a type of rice that can be grown three times a year. In other words, if we had this thing, would we still be short of food in the future? Once the people are no longer short of food, won't our internal development be faster? You must always remember that all the prerequisites for development are based on the root of being fed. In the future, we will have food, and we will let the people gradually pursue it, or study, or do business, or build, and so on. "It is far more convenient to take the water route than the land route, not to mention the Cochin County, which is a small country like Vietnam, Liu Zhang only needs 10,000 or 20,000 people to crush them.

Lu Su was really surprised, why they never knew that there was such a thing there: "Three crops of rice, if this is the case, it is really worth our troops." The war in the north of the lord does not need to be urgent, this kind of thing is really beneficial to the country and the people. Liu Zhang's words fell, and Lu Su immediately agreed.

An edict came out, and the army far away in Shangcai immediately retreated. As soon as this army moved, Cao Cao immediately got the news. At the same time, Liu Zhang's envoy also arrived in Xuchang, and Cheng Ji has not sent an envoy for a long time, after all, Liu Zhang is really powerful, and only others will give their share.

Looking at the gray and abrupt city wall of Xuchang, Cheng Ji followed the envoy into the city after a few glances. Xuchang City is the residence of the Son of Heaven, but it is not a star and a half worse than Chang'an. Looking at everything here, Cheng Ji felt more and more that Liu Zhang was the master. glanced at the Son of Heaven Palace in the distance, the Son of Heaven Palace here is really shabby.

followed the envoy all the way to Cao Cao's mansion, because it was Liu Zhang's envoy Cao Cao had to be treated with caution. In the hall, Cheng Ji saw Cao Cao: "I've seen Lord Sikong." "Standard etiquette, in terms of etiquette, the people around Liu Zhang are very particular.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Ji and asked with a dry smile: "I don't know what the envoy is talking about?" Liu Zhang went to the south silently, and seemed to have made a big move. Hearing the gossip, Liu Zhang worked hard to develop a small village in Wu County, which made Cao Cao confused, what did he want to do? Then the army withdrew, could it be said that Liu Zhang encountered an opponent there who could not be opposed, so he could only mobilize the army to go?

Immediately followed by the arrival of Cheng Ji, it seemed that everything indicated that Liu Zhang was in trouble there. It's not clear yet, but it looks like that? When Cheng Ji came in, Cao Cao had already gotten the news, and this person had brought a lot of gifts? Could it be that Liu Zhang is really in trouble?

Cheng Ji saluted and said: "A few months ago, my lord arrived in Jiangdong, where there are abundant products, and the lord remembered that Ming Gong specially sent local specialties and was willing to reconcile with Ming Gong. The lord withdrew his troops because he felt that he should not be the enemy of Ming Gong, so he sent 20 shells to show friendship. When he said this, Cheng Ji did not grovel.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "General Liu has encountered a strong enemy in the south?" Cao Cao really couldn't understand why Liu Zhang suddenly showed him favor, and he didn't dare to accept this gift. Maybe if you accept it today, you will have to pay it back tenfold the next day.

Cheng Ji said with a smile: "My lord has been invincible since he started the army, what strong enemies are there?" It's just that my lord thinks that Yuan Shang is rebellious and united with foreign clans to bully my Han people, and such evil deeds cannot be questioned, but I hope that Ming Gong will send troops to sweep the north and give me a justice for the Han people. Cheng Ji deliberately didn't talk about his own business, but about the north.

At this moment, the little Jiujiu in Cao Cao's heart moved, is this really the case? If Liu Zhang didn't encounter a strong enemy, how could he withdraw his troops, and if he didn't encounter a strong enemy, why did he ask Cao Cao to pacify the north? Now he is sending people to show favor to him, doesn't this mean that there is a problem? Now the question before Cao Cao is whether to take the opportunity to attack Liu Zhang, or to take the north in one fell swoop?

"This matter still needs to be reported to the Son of Heaven, and we will talk about it when the Son of Heaven makes a decision." Cao Cao also shirked it, and he had to wait until he discussed it with a few of his advisors.

Cheng Ji saluted and said, "That's very good. After speaking, Cheng Ji was speechless.

When Cao Cao saw this, he said: "The envoy of Xu Du Prosperity can rest for a day and then go back." After saying that, Cao Cao asked people to lead Cheng Ji to Xuchang for a turn, and by the way, to meet the Son of Heaven, these are all etiquette.

Cheng Ji followed his subordinates around Xuchang, how much worse is it than Chang'an? Just after a while, Cheng Ji went to meet the Son of Heaven. On the side of the palace that he didn't know what the name was, Cheng Ji met Liu Xie, the son of heaven. The layout of this palace is not as good as that of the lord's mansion, let alone compared to those palaces in Chang'an.

Liu Xie sat on the main seat and will be not young next year, but he does not seem to have the majesty of the Son of Heaven. Maybe he has been under Cao Cao's hands for a long time, and he is already a little frightened at this moment. Seeing Cheng Ji, Liu Xie hurriedly said: "My Dong Guiren is good for his beloved daughter?" "Since I knew that Dong Gui gave birth to a daughter, he didn't seem to be embarrassed by Liu Zhang, and the Son of Heaven thought a little more, it seems that Liu Zhang is a great loyal minister?

Cheng Ji felt a little disdainful in his heart, is it obvious that the Son of Heaven actually cares about women at this moment, instead of caring about his own situation and the attitude of his own father-in-law? This kind of person is also the Son of Heaven, and he is really far worse than his own lord. Although Liu Zhang is also lazy, he has a feeling that all the situations are in his hands. has the courage to fight at a young age, after all, the Son of Heaven has been controlled for too long, and his heart is too far behind.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Dong Guiren and the little princess are doing well, and my lord in Chang'an has not treated them badly." I'm afraid that in the future, he will no longer be the Son of Heaven, and he will be just a poor man after all.
