Chapter 478: Cloud Movement (5)

Xudu, Sikong House. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mrs. Bian looked very calm, and she was very calm after the loss of her beloved son, and the hysteria of the idle woman.

"The body of the eldest husband is a happy thing in life.

Since he was a child, Zihuan has had great ambitions, hoping to worry about Sikong. Wouldn't it be nice for a husband to get what he wanted? ”

As he spoke, tears ran down his cheeks and fell silently.

Mrs. Bian's reasonableness also made Cao Cao feel even more guilty in his heart.

In the battle of Wancheng, he lost his eldest son Cao Ang, and there was a gap with Mrs. Ding because of this, and finally Lao Yan flew away. I thought that after I came back, Mrs. Bian would be like Mrs. Ding, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Bian would be so reasonable.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Madam can be so sensible, I am very lucky!" ”

The grief of losing his beloved son seems to have eased a lot after going through the venting of the bloody Yecheng.

Cao Cao said, sighed, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Huan's heart moved on the side, and she peeked at Mrs. Bian, secretly admiring. This Mrs. Bian, who is not from a noble background, has far more terrifying wisdom and calmness than Mrs. Ding back then. At this time, she can still restrain her emotions and properly express her sadness, which makes Cao Cao feel a little more pity.

Youxue is right!

In the future, Cang Shu's biggest enemy is not anything else, but the lady Bian in front of him.

Since listening to Cao Peng's awakening, Mrs. Huan has paid special attention. She not only secretly recruited Wang Shuang to protect Cao Chong, but also strengthened the supervision and protection of Cao Chong. Mrs. Bian did not show any hostility towards Cao Chong, and even became extraordinarily kind. She often asks people to send some snacks, saying that Cao Chong studies hard and should pay attention to his body.

But the more this happened, the more frightened Mrs. Huan felt.

A calm woman, even more terrifying......

Although Mrs. Huan was secretly wary, she could still perceive that Cao Chong had become more admiring from sympathy to Mrs. Bian.

This is not a good phenomenon!

There is a way that is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves.

The more Mrs. Bian is like this, the more Mrs. Huan can feel the murderous intent hidden behind that kindness......

But she couldn't refuse the kindness of Mrs. Bian's release, as well as Cao Chong, after all, she was young. No matter how smart he is, it is difficult to distinguish what is true and what is false. Fortunately, Cao Chong was obedient, and Mrs. Huan got Cao Peng's guidance and did not fall into the ground. On the contrary, when Mrs. Bian released her kindness, Mrs. Huan also showed enough care and consideration. Sikong Mansion, which was supposed to be shrouded in sadness, has become more harmonious because of it.

In the eyes of outsiders, they will praise Mrs. Bian's generosity and praise Mrs. Huan's thoughtfulness.

But in fact, the secret war between the two has reached a fiery level.

Seeing Mrs. Bian's behavior like this, Mrs. Huan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said: "Sikong, people say Sima Bada, Zhongda is the best." He has been following Zihuan, why hasn't he been reminded at all? I don't know Sikong, but have you ever disposed of this Sima Zhongda? ”

Sima Yi was recommended by Mrs. Bian.

Sure enough, Mrs. Huan noticed that Mrs. Bian's hand suddenly clenched into a fist......

But the woman was able to hold back and did not speak.

Cao Cao frowned, "Sima Yi's whereabouts are unknown now, and his body has not been found on the battlefield in Zhongqiu."

I had Berda questioned, but he didn't seem to know much. Boda's current situation is not too good. In the army, he was coarse and poorly fed, and was extremely simple, so that his body was quite bad. Previously, he wrote to resign, but suggested the implementation of the Ida ...... Although his method is not good, but his heart is very good, and I do not want to blame him anymore.

Sima Zhongda, it's Sima Zhongda, don't involve others. ”

"Yes!"

Mrs. Bian spoke, "Since Boda is not in good health, why don't you let him raise him in Xu Capital?"

Now Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Yuanhua and others are all in Xudu, which can make them recuperate for Boda...... Zijian is now also fourteen, and he and Yang Xiu and others are mixed together on weekdays to talk about poetry. Although things are good, they are inevitably exaggerated, and they are not a long-term solution. I watched Boda grow old and learned, even if Sima Zhongda was not comparable to his brother...... The concubine asked Sikong to ask Boda to come up with more ideas to build. Only in this way will Zijian not go astray......"

After that, Mrs. Bian bowed to her and expressed her strict mother's affection.

Really!

Mrs. Huan's heart trembled again.

Youxue's guess was right, and Mrs. Bian began to plan for Zijian. In the past, when Cao Pi was alive, Mrs. Bian focused on Cao Pi, hoping to help Cao Pi achieve his career; Now, Cao Pi is gone, and Mrs. Bian's hard work will definitely be transferred to others. Cao Zhi, she wants to support Cao Zhi...... That's why I want to win over that Sima Lang.

"Sikong, now Zihuan is too old, Zijian is not yet an adult.

The concubine thought that it was better to let Ziwen come back, and she could also comfort her sister...... Moreover, it was time for Ziwen to end the marriage. ”

Do you want Cao Zhang to lead the troops outside and help Cao Zhi in the future?

I don't want you to do it......

Cao Cao didn't notice the intrigue between the two ladies, but smiled with relief.

"Ziwen Fang has made new contributions, but I am afraid that he may not be willing to come back.

However, he is indeed not young, and he always has to make a decision when marrying his daughter. Although the daughter of the Sun family is from the Sun family of Eastern Wu, she can also be called knowledgeable. In the past two years, she has been virtuous and virtuous in the house, and she has not been delayed.

Sun Zhongmou......

Hey! ”

Cao Cao suddenly sneered twice and said no more.

Sun Quan ordered Tai Shi Ci to coerce Hefei, and his ambition was obvious.

Cao Cao has long known that Sun Quan is not an idle person, so he has always been on guard.

This time, Sun Quanquan forced Hefei, not so much a provocation as a temptation. He was testing Cao Cao's bottom line, and Cao Cao knew better what he was thinking. Sun Quan captured Jiangxia and was also worried about Cao Cao's final attitude.

This son's plan is very big, and it needs to be guarded against earlier.

But how?

Cao Cao was a little undecided.

Hefei, there needs to be a good general out of the town, but who will take over Hefei, he still does not have a safe candidate.

Xiahou Yuan? Xiahoudun? or Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Ren......

It seems like it's all right!

But it seems that none of them are quite suitable.

Cao Cao's mind was also diverted.

Mrs. Huan's eyes rolled and she smiled: "In that case, why don't you let the daughter of the Sun family go to the past?" ”

"No!"

When Mrs. Bian heard this, she was shocked.

With Cao Zhang's temperament, if he is forced to press him, it will backfire if he can't do it.

She also wanted Cao Zhang to come back and be by her side. However, she also knew that Cao Zhang's temperament was not suitable for being an heir.

He was too upright, and he was deeply liked by Cao Cao.

However, Cao Zhang is not a suitable successor.

Let him stay in Hexi, maybe he can still contain Cao Peng and break Mrs. Huan's arm. In the future, you can also help your brother and build a career.

Mrs. Bian smiled and said, "It's rare for Ziwen to have such a feat, and this matter is not in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Huan wanted to say more, so she saw Cao Cao wave her hand, "This matter is not in a hurry, I have my own arrangements......"

Since Cao Cao said so, Mrs. Huan naturally didn't want to say anything more.

She looked at Mrs. Bian, but saw that Mrs. Bian was also looking at him. Beneath the calm countenance, there is a strong hostility......

Mrs. Huan knew that the war between her and Mrs. Bian had just begun. In the future, she must be more careful, this is a great enemy!

On his face, a charming smile appeared.

But in her eyes, there was a flash of unrelenting essence.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In July, autumn tigers raged.

According to the original history, Cao Cao should have stayed in Yecheng at this time, preparing to start the conquest of Yuan Tan, and did not return to Xudu until the end of the year. But now, things seem to have changed a little. Yuan Shang did not escape from Yecheng as in history and ran to Youzhou to join Yuan Xi, but died under Yecheng. Similarly, Pingyuan County was also captured, and Yuan Tan was killed in battle. Among the three sons of the Yuan family, only one Yuan Xi remained, who was still dying in Youzhou, while Gao Gan joined forces with Liu Bao, and together with Karasuma Keji and Youzhou Yuan Xi, they were ready to fight Cao Jun for a final battle.

Sweeping through Hebei, it sounds very pleasant.

But in practice, it is not easy to implement.

And the state of Youzhou, all bitter cold places, the soldiers are brave, it is a place of elite soldiers. At the same time, due to the fact that there are many alien races here, some naturalized and some unnaturalized, the entanglement of various forces is definitely not something that can be achieved in a war.

Cao Cao has been conquering Jizhou for half a year.

Qingzhou has been completely controlled by him, and most of Jizhou has also become under his rule.

Suddenly obtaining the land of two states requires a process of digestion. At this time, it is necessary to start a war with Yuan Xigaogan, which will inevitably cause the dilemma that the battle line is too long and the supplies cannot be followed. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, and discussing it with others, Cao Cao still decided to temporarily collect troops and return to Xudu. At the same time, he sent people to appease Jizhou and Qingzhou, and appointed Cheng Yu to assassinate Jizhou to stabilize Hebei as soon as possible...... Due to the continuous war, the current situation in Jizhou is not very good. In particular, Cao Cao's spring attack caused most of Jizhou to be wiped out.

Since there is a harvest failure, there will inevitably be famine, and even the displacement of people everywhere, and eventually war will break out.

To this end, Cao Cao ordered the transfer of 600,000 stone grain and grass from Xuduku Mansion, which has been relieved in Jizhou to alleviate the famine.

In the past two years, Cao Cao no longer needs to worry about food.

The scope of Haixi Tuntian has been further expanded, connecting Haixi, Quyang, Huaipu and Lingxian into one, forming an extremely unique pattern of Haixi. The entire sea of Xituntian accounts for more than 50% of Xuzhou's total income.

Moreover, with the development of Haixi, the population of Lianghuai increased.

In addition, Xu Xuan governed Xuzhou in an orderly manner, and Xu Xuan, the new Taishou of Guangling County, was a person who knew military affairs, and joined forces with Chen Jiao to keep Eastern Wu south of the river. In the past four years, Xuzhou has developed rapidly, steadily and prosperously. Gradually, the population began to skyrocket. The people who fled from Xuzhou in the past began to slowly return.

The handicraft industry of Lianghuai has developed rapidly, and a large number of skilled craftsmen have emerged.

The Nine Guilds, after opening up the trade route with the Central Plains, have further developed and become an indispensable force in Xuzhou.

It is precisely for this reason that there has not been much rebellion in recent years.

The overall situation is very stable, and it has also created an excellent development environment for Cao Cao. 600,000 stone grain and grass is nothing to Xu Du. After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao again ordered 800,000 stones to be requisitioned from Xuzhou and transported to Jizhou. In this way, it can ensure that the whole of Jizhou does not need to worry about food this winter.

Back in the study, as soon as Cao Cao sat down, someone came to report: Xun Yu Guo Jia came to visit.

"Please!"

Cao Cao's spirit has improved much compared to his earlier time in Yecheng.

At least not so crazy, less hysterical, less tyrannical. After a while, Xun Yu and Guo Jia walked in and bowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down first, and someone else brought the freshly made honey syrup. At this time, the climate is drier. Honey syrup has a warm and moisturizing lung function, and is in season.

"Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, you sit first.

I have a copy of the official document here, and after reading it, I will talk to you. ”

"The lord is at his own convenience."

Cao Cao was not polite, he took it seriously and read the official document.

He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I want to recover the Haixi tax in the coming year, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "I came today to discuss this matter...... The lord used troops against Hebei, which cost a lot. Although we are not short of money and food now, this rule is becoming more and more extensive, and the places that need to be spent are also increasing...... Needless to say, Jizhou. But just plain county, at least nearly one million yuan will be invested in the coming year. At present, Guanzhong also needs a lot of investment to be able to restore its original appearance. Ziyang and I roughly calculated that if Guanzhong is completely stabilized in the coming year, at least tens of millions of dollars and grain will need to be invested......

In addition, Yuzhou and Yanzhou should also invest.

The uncle and grandson are preparing to reset the white horse in the coming year, and there will inevitably be a lot of expenditure...... It's not that I don't know, but it's really scary.

Youxue has been convincing Haixi for many years, and this year, Haixi's taxes account for almost 30% of the total taxes. According to Xu Tingshi's estimates, Haixi will further expand in the coming year and become one with Xutai Huaiyin. In this way, it is bound to produce even more amazing wealth. If Youxue continues to hold it, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for him. ”

"But the problem is, I promised him not to move Haixi for five years."

"There's no way around it...... If the lord feels that it is difficult to say, he can actually compensate from other aspects.

For example, the tax exemption in Hexi!

As far as I know, Youxue has invested a lot in Hexi.

But if it is said to be effective, I am afraid that it will take a long time. simply sent a favor and handed over the taxes in Hexi to him for disposal. ”

Hexi!

Xun Yu or Cao Cao.

In their view, Hexi's main income comes from Tuntian.

But they didn't expect that Cao Peng's construction policy in Hexi was actually based on commerce.

Through the unique geographical advantages of Hexi, a large commercial circle integrating the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions, Mobei and Guanzhong has been formed. Once this business circle is built, it will inevitably burst into amazing wealth. It's just that, at present, no one is paying attention to Hexi. Most people focus more on the land of Jizhou, Hebei.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Since this is the case, there is a text that is written and passed on to you.

Tell him that from next year, Hexi will be exempt from taxes for ten years; Inform him again that the Haixi tax will be recovered in the coming year. ”

"Whoa!"

In addition, Youxue defeated Wuwei, while Su took Zhangye.

This also made Liangzhou suddenly appear two vacancies of Taishou. If you discuss with someone and choose a few suitable candidates. This time, Ma Teng suffered a big loss and will never give up. Tell Wei Qi that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong stationed in Hedong should return one after another. However, with Wei Qi alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to ensure that Guanzhong is comprehensive, and a general is needed.

I'm going to let Zilian sit in Guanzhong, what do you think? ”

Xun Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"In addition, there are a few other things, which are also about friendship."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao raised his head suspiciously and looked at Xun Yu.
