Zhao Yue pretended to bow her head and muttered for a while, then raised her head and came to her senses: "Meng De borrowed 20,000 from my armor, how about the food and money for the soldiers!?" In this way, I will dedicate these cities to you, and I will also get some benefits, so that my soldiers will not talk nonsense, and General Wang Jian and the idiot will never think that Lord Cao Cao is a person who takes advantage of the fire to rob; Moreover, I can also use these soldiers, money and food for the development of Luoyang, and it is not in vain that Meng De has made a contribution to the people of Luoyang and paid a little effort for the people of the world! ”

"Exactly, Lord Cao Cao, if you can obey my lord's wishes, Wang Jian will have no complaints here, and the soldiers under his command will also be persuaded by me!" Although Wang Jian is a rough person, he understands that Zhao Yue's actions are for their development, so he decisively patted his chest at this moment and followed the trend.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was taken aback and almost lost his temper.

opened his mouth to ask for 20,000 soldiers, this Zhao Yue really dared to think! Alas, even if he is too talkative, he is idle and polite to an honest child, but he doesn't put himself in politeness? It's really a fool to be a fool, Cao Cao secretly said that he had a word first, and it was not good to regret it at this time, plus 20,000 horses and a little money and food could be exchanged for such a vast territory, Cao Cao felt that it was not a loss.

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants who invaded Baoxin in Jibei were collected before, and now they have been reorganized into the Qingzhou Army, and the population that Yanzhou's territory can carry has already exceeded a lot, and he has already planned to develop Yingchuan County in the north of Yuzhou to the south, and this time he captured Yuan Shu, and collected nearly 100,000 soldiers, if he can't take over Yuan Shu's former Jingbei, then he really doesn't know where to put these people.

If the problem Cao Cao is facing now is that there are many people and soldiers, and the land is scarce, then Zhao Yue is the opposite; Don't look at Luoyang, it's just a place of governance in Sili Henan Yin. Because it was the former imperial capital, how big is its area? plus the other twenty counties under Yin in Henan. They are also comparable to the county towns of ordinary states and counties. Although Zhao Yue has developed Luoyang City in an orderly manner, the population has also increased to tens of thousands. But this little bit hasn't filled a small corner of Luoyang City yet!

Zhao Yue needed people and materials so that he could develop and grow the entire Henan Yin and put it completely under his rule.

The two hit it off, but they are also good allies.

Cao Cao thought for a while, exchanged opinions with His Royal Highness with his eyes, and immediately patted the table, and said excitedly: "Don't say 20,000 armor soldiers, even if it is 100,000." It is also difficult to repay Chang Jiao's kindness for sending troops this time, but unfortunately, the world has not yet been pacified, and Lone's hegemony has not been realized, so I am afraid that I can't let go of so many soldiers. But 20,000 horses, since Chang Jiao has mentioned it, it will be lent to you! ”

Meng Idiot saw Cao Cao say this below, and in his words, his covetousness for the world was fully revealed. I couldn't help but brush my face with my hands, and I felt sad in my heart.

Zhao Yue didn't think so, Cao Cao didn't hide his ambition for the world, which really made him feel very nostalgic. He felt that Cao Cao's statement was common sense as a prince. When I say it to him at this moment, I also see him as my own person.

"Okay, that's a deal." Zhao Yue was dressed in a white robe and stood up. The originally pale face had become rosy because of the recuperation of the past few days and the current excitement, "But I Zhao Yue is alive." Xiliang Shu is undecided, never set foot in the Central Plains, compete with Mengde, if Mengde is in trouble, I will definitely send troops to help, never break my word! ”

Cao Cao seemed to be very happy, and he also moved his chair to get up, turned around and said to Xiahou Yuan below: "Miaocai, take the arrow!" ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he took a feather arrow from the quiver behind his back and handed it to the servant in the banquet. He took the feather arrow from both hands, cautiously walked to Cao Cao's side, lowered his head, pointed the arrow towards himself, and presented it to Cao Cao with both hands.

"Cang Tian is fortunate to let me Cao Mengde get acquainted with Zhao Changjiao, since you can have such a statement, today I am in front of the soldiers and civil officials of the two armies below, and I also swear here that when the Central Plains is undecided, I will not get involved in the West! If you break this oath, there is such an arrow! ”

"Smack!"

I only heard a crisp sound, it was Cao Cao who broke the feather arrow in his hand.

The whole hall instantly resounded with the joyful sound of everyone, Zhao Yue walked to Cao Cao's side, joined hands with Cao Cao, and raised it upwards together, symbolizing that the friendship between the two and the two armies was strong and indestructible.

His Royal Highness's idiot sighed slightly, and he had to smile, the matter had come to this, and he could only comply with the king's wishes.

But he really thought in his heart that Zhao Yue should be wary of this Cao Cao. For the land of the Central Plains, don't say that you can't give it to this cunning person in front of you, but you should directly take the opportunity to unite others to exterminate it, and then divide Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

But who made Zhao Yue much younger than Cao Cao after all? Cao Cao's ambition had already shifted from supporting the incompetent Han family to seeking the world, while Zhao Yue's ambition had just been established, that is, to take Western Qin, which was only limited to the glorious moment when he restored Great Qin in the Six Kingdoms.

The heart of the old man trembled slightly, and he only hoped that Zhao Yue could realize early that his goal could not last in the troubled times. If you want to survive and become a strong person, you can only continue to raise the height of your heart and set your horizons farther.

After the dismissal, the question about the faction of the 20,000 soldiers lent, as well as many other trivial matters, caused Zhao Yue and his party to stay in Wancheng for a few more days.

In the end, Zhao Yue obtained 10,000 Qingzhou troops, 5,000 Yuan Shu old soldiers, and 5,000 Cao Cao's headquarters soldiers and horses from Cao Cao. When parting the Cao family's headquarters, according to the words from Wang Qian, Zhao Yue learned that Cao Ren was still 10,000 unhappy in his heart.

The first 2,000 men and horses, plus the tens of thousands of Wancheng soldiers mobilized by Qiao Rui's soldiers, and 20,000 horses. Zhao Yue calculated in detail before leaving Wancheng, and now he already had seventy or eighty thousand soldiers under his command.

Don't underestimate these seventy or eighty thousand horses, this point of strength is not comparable to the power of several big princes in the world at present, but north of Luoyang, across the Yellow River, such as Hanoi Wang Kuang, Jinyang Zhang Yang, Montenegro Zhang Yan and other small forces, Zhao Yue can already do not rely on the art of war and strategy, directly crush with strength, and destroy it if it is destroyed.

Similarly, there was also the money and money promised by Cao Cao, because they only delivered half of the agreed amount on their expedition to Jingzhou, and Cao Cao also negotiated with Zhao Yue to wait for him to return to Yanzhou and then transport it to Luoyang City.

Zhao Yue was secretly happy in his heart, fortunately Cao Cao didn't know that the materials in all the cities of Nanyang County had been smuggled away by him, otherwise where would he promise to send another grain and grass and money?

Zhao Yue watched the soldiers pushing the carts full of grain, and her heart was excited, he was calculating how long it would take for the people of Luoyang to eat. After leaving Luoyang for so long this time, there must have been a lot of homeless people in the city, plus the people who he persuaded from Jingbei to live in peace. Zhao Yue really didn't dare to imagine easily, how many people were in Luoyang City at this time? (To be continued.) )
