When Gao Ye heard this, he shook his head and said, "Mengde, to be honest, it's no problem for you to let me fight, and it's no problem for me to govern a state." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but you asked me to give you advice and talk about how to calm the world, you are embarrassing for me. It's better to ask Fengxiao this question than to ask me. ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and even said that Gao Ye was not kind, as the heir of the Zongheng family, it was impossible not to even have this ability. This is to blame myself for not giving generous gifts, feeling unhappy, and deliberately embarrassing myself. Although Gao Ye knew that this was Cao Cao's joke, sometimes, people couldn't help but take the joke seriously. How many people in this world express their truest emotions in jokes?

Gao Ye was about to speak, only to see Cao Cao order someone to take the brocade box he brought, saying that it was a generous gift he had prepared for Gao Ye. With it, whatever you say in the high night, you have to plan for yourself. Listening to Gao Ye on the sidelines was a wry smile. Although he hasn't seen what Cao Cao's gift is to him, but now that Cao Cao has said everything about this, how can he refuse again? In fact, it is not difficult to plan for him, although Cao Cao's road to hegemony in history is slightly bumpy, but it is a successful road with actual verification.

The so-called existence is reasonable, as long as I tell him like this, I don't think there will be any big problem. Gao Ye thought about this, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Since Meng De wants to hear it, then I'll tell you about it." It's just that I'm really not good at planning such things, so don't laugh at me when you say the wrong thing. ”

"Mingxi doesn't have to be humble, and tell me about it."

"In fact, now that you Meng De have been appointed as the Taishou of Dongjun, you can be regarded as having a foothold. The next step is to seek Yanzhou in order to connect with Yingchuan. The original in the north has now occupied Jizhou, Jizhou is the granary of the world, and it has a large population, and there are many ministers and generals under the original account. The northern state is now ownerless, and when he saw Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, he must have surrendered to the wind. As for Youzhou, there is Gongsun Zan to contain it, and it will take time to come to the land of Hebei Sanzhou to pacify the three states of Hebei. You can take advantage of this to seek Yuzhou and Xuzhou and develop and grow. If Meng De can sit on the three states, he can compete with the original. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and the laughter was inexplicable for a while, could it be that he said something wrong?

"Mingxi, do you know that your words coincide with Wen Ruo!"

"Well, if you talk about the sky, now Ben Chu is at war with Gongsun Bo Jue, although Ben Chu is powerful, but Gongsun Chan is not weak, in addition to Zhang Yan, who has a black mountain yellow turban in Jizhou, he wants to dominate Hebei, it is not so easy. This gives you time to take down the three states of Yan, Yu, and Xu, and fight against him. In terms of geographical advantages, after all, Yanzhou is the land of four wars, and the yellow turbans have been raging for a long time, not only the population is scarce, but the grain and grass are not sufficient. At this point, it is indeed no better than his Yuan Shao's luck. Therefore, Mengde must start with the people, after all, Mencius has a cloud, "the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people." ”

"But at the beginning, he had a prominent family background, the fourth generation and the third duke, many old officials, and served as the leader of the coalition army, and beat Dong Zhuo back to Chang'an. How can I compare? I've been in Dongjun for a long time, and only Wen Ruo and Zhong De have to vote. ”

"Haha, Meng De misunderstood what I meant, I said people and people, not only referring to talents to vote, but also referring to the population. Why is my Yingchuan strong and strong, and there is enough grain and grass? Because I have a large population living here. Mengde, the biggest problem in Yanzhou now is that there is no population, no people, where is the food, where are the soldiers, where are the talents! ”

Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he smiled at Gao Ye: "Mingxi's meaning, is it to ask me to collect the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?" ”

"Yes, Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there are a lot of people. Judging from the news I have gotten, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, young and strong, plus old and weak women and children, there are no less than one million people, if you can collect Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, then Yanzhou's predicament can be solved. As for the talented people, when Meng De takes Yanzhou and joins forces with Yingchuan, the world's talents will inevitably come to vote. Not only that, but talents can not only be discovered, but also cultivated by themselves. The reason why I strongly support Yingchuan Academy is to continuously cultivate talents. After Meng De completely sat down in Yan and Yu Erzhou, he could be the head of the academy in person, so that even if Meng De had never taught them anything, the students of Yingchuan Academy have had a teacher-student friendship with Meng De since then, so they are naturally more willing to work for you. ”

"Yes, yes! Mingxi's discussion is wonderful! Yingchuan Academy is in hand, and the children of the family are naturally more willing to use it for me. ”

"The magic of Yingchuan Academy is not only that." Gao Ye smiled weirdly, but he didn't continue to explain to Cao Cao, because a maid had already entered the lobby with Cao Cao's brocade box. Cao Cao took the brocade box from the maid's hand, put it on the table, and immediately opened the lid, and a long sword lay quietly in the box.

Gao Ye frowned, and was slightly surprised in his heart, not because he saw anything strange about this sword, but because he saw that there were two seal characters "Qinghong" engraved on the hilt of the sword, how could he not know the origin of this sword? But it doesn't seem right to say this, because Gao Ye really doesn't know the origin of this sword, he only knows that this sword, like "Yitian", is Cao Cao's beloved thing. It is said that the Yitian Sword was Cao Cao's sword, and this Qinghong Sword was later carried by Xia Houen for him. Cao Cao's love for this sword has been so fond that even if he goes to the battlefield and already has a sword, he must have a special person to carry the Qinghong sword for him, which can be seen.

Now Cao Cao took out this sword and gave it to himself, and he really made a bloody investment. However, surprise is surprise, but Gao Ye did not show much joy. Although the Qinghong Sword is also a sword that sharpens iron like clay, it is not very attractive to Gao Ye. I already have a pair of swords, which are the tokens of the Zongheng family, and the things that can be used as tokens will naturally not be ordinary things, although these two swords are not peerless swords like Ganjiang and Mo Ye, but they can also go hand in hand with Yitian and Qinghong. As for a sword like Chunjun, he once owned it, and now it has become Guo Jia's sword. Therefore, although Gao Ye was quite moved by Cao Cao's behavior, he refused Cao Cao's gift.

However, Cao Cao asked Gao Ye to calm down for a while, drank a glass of wine, and then said to Gao Ye: "I know that you are equipped with a sword, even Guo Jia's kid, the sword is extraordinary. But Zilong is such a brave general, but the sword is also average, this Qinghong sword, I nominally gave it to you, but in fact, it was given to Zilong. The sword, naturally, is the same as the BMW, and only a warrior can wear it. ”

Gao Ye wanted to refuse, but was persuaded by Cao Cao, and finally thought about it, Zhao Yun didn't seem to have a good sword to wear, which was also a pity, so he accepted Cao Cao's gift. Although the Qinghong Sword in history, it was Xia Houen's bad luck that Changbanpo was killed, and he met Zhao Yun, the killing god, which gave Zhao Yun a chance to get it. It is also because Zhao Yun later "stabbed the sword and killed more than 50 famous generals of Cao Ying" in Cao Cao's million-strong army, and the first battle made Qinghong Sword famous all over the world. Now that Zhao Yun is his brother, and he has taken refuge in Cao Cao, naturally there will be no such magical thing, but maybe this Qinghong Sword is really related to Zhao Yun, and after a big turn, it is still in Zhao Yun's hands.

After a drinking banquet, Gao Ye was fine, but Cao Cao really drank too much. He can't drink enough, he has to toast with Gao Ye, the liquor in Gao Ye's mansion, how can Cao Cao stand it when he drinks it like this, and getting drunk has become a matter of course.

Early the next morning, on the night of seeing Cao Cao, the title of him had changed from Meng De to the lord, and this change also made Cao Cao happy.

"Now that the lord has risen, it is better to come with me, and see the three great gifts that I have prepared for the lord. One can increase combat power, one can make food and grass worry-free, and the last one is powerful, allowing the lord to gain the popularity of the world. I don't know if the lord is interested in watching with me? ”

Cao Cao listened to Gao Ye's words so mysterious, so he naturally happily went with him, and after carefully observing the harness on Jueying's body in the stable, he finally understood why Gao Ye's cavalry was so powerful. The Takahashi saddle is equipped to make the rider more stable on the horse, and the presence of stirrups allows them to borrow strength on the horse. This is particularly important, after all, although the stirrup has appeared in this era, but the main function is still used to get on and off the horse, and the horse must be clamped to the belly of the horse to avoid falling down. Now that there are stirrups, let alone falling, it is easy to draw a bow and shoot an arrow on a horse. It's no wonder that the cavalry under Gao Ye's command can all do horse shooting and increase their combat power, and they really live up to their reputation.

The potatoes and corn he saw in the experimental field shocked Cao Cao even more, and after hearing about the yield of these two crops, Gao Ye clearly felt that Cao Cao's eyes had shone brightly. That's right, it's shooting, because with words like light, it is impossible to describe the current Cao Cao. However, after a short period of surprise, Cao Cao said to Gao Ye blamefully: "You have such a magical food, but you keep it private. If it is taken out early and given to the people of the world, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit. ”

Gao Ye just shrugged his shoulders and did not comment on this matter, but said with a smile: "Now the person with immeasurable merit is you Cao Mengde, what do you have to complain about with me." ”

However, after Cao Cao visited the library building at night, his mood was temporarily calmed down by potatoes and corn, and signs of excitement began to appear again. Especially when he saw a copy of "Thirty-six Strategies", he put it directly in his arms, and said in his mouth: "I heard that this book is Mingxi's experience in using soldiers, since it was given to Wentai's son, you won't mind if you want to come and see it." "Straight to Gao Ye's face twitched, Cao Cao, a good official eunuch, why did he suddenly become a ringing horse?

It's just that this Xiangma's mood today is only afraid that it will be difficult to calm down, because Gao Ye took him to the place where the paper was made, and said with a sneer: "If Meng De can promote this papermaking technique, then people in the sea can gather, I don't know what Meng De wants?" ”
