The army will move, and there will be many trifles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although Xun Yu solved most of the problems, Cao Cao still had to make some arrangements. For example, who controls the military power of Xu Du? For example, who should take care of all government affairs? There are so many of them, it doesn't seem like much, but it can be arranged very cumbersomely. Fortunately, with Xiahou Yuan's return from Shandong, Xu Du's safety can be guaranteed.

Xiahou Yuan, General Baiwei......

After processing, it was getting late.

Guo Jia was about to go back, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

He followed Cao Cao to the study of the back house, and saw that the furnishings in the study seemed to have some wonderful changes.

The former couch and long case are gone, replaced by a pair of Taishi chairs and a half-person tall and wide bookcase.

"This is a new gadget made by Youxue in Hexi based on the furniture of the Hu people.

At the beginning of spring, he sent someone to send a set, as well as eighty volumes of books collected by Bo Jiaogong back then. It is said that Akihime wrote it by heart. He asked people to buy some handmaidens who could read and write in Xudu, saying that he wanted to give them to Zhaoji...... Hehe, it's strange to say, Zhao Ji has been wandering for many years, and she refused to return to her homeland, and actually chose to stay in Hexi. ā€

Cao Cao opened with a playful look.

At the end, he blinked, with a 'you know' expression.

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao had left him behind, most likely to discuss things about Cao Peng.

But since Cao Cao didn't speak first, Guo Jia wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. So he smiled and said: "Talented and beautiful people, the most beautiful talk." Friends are talented and talented, and Zhao Ji is omniscient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Together, it is normal to stay in Hexi. ā€

"Hahaha, what Feng Xiao said won my heart."

Cao Cao smiled, and his face suddenly changed.

"Fengxiao, have you heard any rumors recently?"

"Oh?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, a little uncertain, so he shook his head and said softly: "Jia has been unwell recently, so he rarely pays attention to the outside. ā€

It's not that I don't care, it's that I'm not in good health!

Cao Cao smiled, "I heard some sayings, Yan Cangshu is smart, and he has won my heart, can he be the son of the world?" ā€

Those slender eyes, like eagle falcons, stared at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's heart moved, and he pretended to be surprised: "No, Cang Shu is only eight years old, who would be so boring to talk about this?" ā€

"However, Zihuan believed it."

Cao Cao, pressing step by step.

Guo Jia said: "Zihuan Gongzi is old, if he continues to stay in Qi County, his vision will inevitably be narrow. Returning to Xudu today to ask for war is also an opportunity. The battle of Hebei is imminent, and it is the time when Zihuan establishes his achievements, which I think is very suitable. ā€

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh!

He wanted to set Guo Jia's tone, but Guo Jia just didn't get closer.

He shook his head, "Fengxiao, you know what I mean." ā€

Guo Jia was silent for a moment......

He knew that this time he might not be able to avoid the past. So, after a moment of silence, Guo Jia raised his head and said, "Sikong is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why rush to establish a successor?" ā€

"I didn't want it, but I had to do it."

Cao Cao sighed and said softly: "After Zi Yan passed away, someone has been persuading me. But I couldn't make up my mind. Zihuan is calm, Zijian is talented, and Cangshu is smart, all of them are candidates. But the problem is that Zihuan's foundation is unstable, he has no merits, and it is difficult to convince the public; Zijian is good at talking, although his talent is high, he can be a celebrity but not enough to be a big thing. Cangshu ...... is too young, and Ziwen is brave and ruthless. I wanted to wait a few years to think about it, but now ......

To do big things, you need to plan early.

If you are not prepared for something, if it happens, won't you be caught off guard?

Yuan Shao hesitated in the past, which caused chaos in Hebei; I need to plan early to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. ā€

Cao Cao said it very vaguely, but Guo Jia heard the meaning.

He's worried!

But what was he worried about?

When Cao Cao mentioned the sons of the Yuan family, Guo Jia's heart moved. Thinking of Cao Cao's mention of Cao Peng before, it suddenly became clear.

Could it be that Cao Cao is worried about party strife?

This is a big problem, and Guo Jia has to be cautious. After pondering for a long time, he said softly: "Lord, you learn ......."

He swallowed it back again.

After thinking about it again, he suddenly looked at Cao Cao with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Lord, I have a plan to make the lord have no worries."

"Speak!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, "Today's lord once showed his friends to learn thirty-six strategies. Although it only won the battle, it ......

The lord, the enemy is clear, the friend is undecided, lead the friend to kill the enemy, do not contribute by himself, and deduce with "Loss". I don't know what to do? ā€

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and a flash of essence flashed.

After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Ha, Feng Xiao is laughing, just say it casually, Feng Xiao doesn't have to go to his heart." ā€

"Haha, Jia Yi laughed."

"Then go back and rest early."

"Jia, retire."

Guo Jia got up and left, while Cao Cao sat upright on the Taishi's chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, and fell into deep thought......

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

The wind of early spring, there is still a chill.

Guo Jia walked out of Sikong Mansion, and Ji Lingling shuddered, only to realize that his underwear was almost soaked. In my heart, I felt a little chilled, but I couldn't help but feel a little excited. He could feel that the tight spell that had imprisoned Cao Cao's ambition was a little loose. In fact, at this point, Cao Cao can be said to have achieved the general trend, just waiting for the north to be pacified. It's just that Cao Cao has always had concerns before. Now, his concerns seem to have diminished somewhat.

However, Cao Cao seems to be wary of Cao Peng.

Although Guo Jia didn't understand the ingenuity in this, he still realized it......

I hope you don't blame me!

He sighed to himself.

The words I said to Cao Cao just now originated from Cao Peng's explanation of "Killing with a Knife". Cao Peng, it's a knife! Kill whom? Cao Cao knew, and so did he, Guo Fengxiao...... It's just that for now, the time doesn't seem to be ripe.

Only in this way can Cao Cao alleviate his concerns about Cao Peng.

I hope he will understand my hard work in the future!

Guo Jia shook his head vigorously and boarded the carriage parked outside Sikong Mansion. This incident must be forgotten as if it never happened......

"Go to Yuxiu Building!"

With Guo Jia's command, the coachman agreed, raised his whip with a crisp sound in the air, and drove the carriage slowly.

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

Nine years of Jian'an, February.

Cao Cao waved his army to conquer Yecheng, and the war in Hebei was about to break out.

At the same time, Cao Peng, who was far away in Hexi, was wearing a short shirt with a slanted shirt, barefoot, holding Cao Gong's plow, standing on the ridge of the field.

The land of the Central Plains has already begun to be cultivated.

But Hexi has just thawed. The black earth, after a winter of hibernation, is finally about to be sown and cultivated. Cao Peng, as the Taishou of Hexi County, must participate in this ploughing ceremony. In fact, he also had some fields under his name, which were used as cultivated fields. As a county magistrate, he wants to drive this first plough to encourage everyone to farm.

Two ploughing oxen, standing quietly on the ridges of the field.

And Cao Peng held the whip in one hand and the plough in the other, and with a burst of cheers, he raised the whip to drive the oxen and helped the plough to go.

A sharp ploughshare, breaking through the land that had been sleeping for a winter.

With a smell of earthy smell, it makes people feel energetic.

The people around the ridges couldn't help but cheer. Watching the black dirt roll around, they all smiled.

After walking a ridge, Cao Peng stopped and gasped slightly.

Bu Luan and Guo Huan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Bu Qi, who was the second-in-command of Hexi County, took over the plough from Cao Peng and continued to reclaim the land. Next, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Hao Zhao, Xiahoulan and Pan Zhang, the members of Hexi County, will come up one by one. After they finished ploughing, it also means that Hexi Tuntian officially began.

The same ceremony, not just in Hongshui County.

Fengming Fort, Lian Fort, Hu Fort and Wu Fort all have such rituals.

Among them, Lianbao has the most arable land, because its county seat has been built, which is considered to be officially invested. And Hongshui County, with the return of spring to the earth, is also ready to resume work. Fort Hu and Fort Fengming need to start over, while Fort Wu is renovated on the basis of Hongshuiji. In the whole of Hexi, there are now 30,000 hectares of cultivated land, which is far from Cao Peng's requirements.

According to Cao Peng's plan, by the end of the year, Hexi County would have to reach 60,000 hectares of cultivated land.

However, there is no hurry to plough the fields, and a large number of slaves will be based on the construction of the city, and then they will start to open up the wasteland. Overall, Hexi County has a heavy task this year. If it is carried out according to the plan, the population can be increased to 400,000 by the next year. This will take a slow time, and it will take the efforts of Cao Peng and others.

Taking the wet towel from Bu Luan's hand, Cao Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This farm work is even harder than martial arts training.

As soon as the field was ridged, Cao Peng was out of breath......

Cai Yan took Zhen Mi and stood in the crowd, watching Cao Peng's clumsy movements, and couldn't help laughing. Zhen Mi also wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh. After all, she is still just a captive, and Cai Yan's identity is completely different. From the panic of being taken captive to Hexi at the beginning, to the gradual calmness now, Zhen Mi is slowly getting used to it.

"Xiaoluan, Xiaohuan...... In two years, this place will definitely become a pearl in Mobei, believe it or not. ā€

Standing on the field, Cao Peng was full of spirit, pointing to the field, quite a bit of the spirit of pointing the country.

At this time, Pang Tong had just taken over the plow, and if he was not careful, he fell to the ground, looking so embarrassed.

Buluan Guo Huan and others couldn't help laughing.

And Cao Peng also shook his head and said to Cao Zhang, who was following him: "See, thirty-six lines, the line is the champion, and it is not so simple to be an excellent mud leg." ā€

"Sir, what's the champion?"

"Uh......"

Cao Peng suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

The title of champion does not seem to have appeared in this era. He thought for a while, and didn't open his mouth to explain, but pushed Cao Zhang, "Ziwen, you also go over and try, let me see how you are at cultivating the field?" ā€

What do I seem to have forgotten all along?

But what is it?

Just as Cao Peng was thinking, a war horse galloped in the distance.

"Childe, Hedong War Report...... Gao Gan led his troops to attack Hedong, and General Wei Qi has sent troops to pacify him, so please beware of Gongzi. ā€
