Chapter 531 Merge State Strategy (1/3)

Counting up, I haven't seen Deng Ji for three years!

I haven't seen him for three years, Deng Ji looks a lot older, and his temples have slightly turned white. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but in this way, it makes him more calm and capable temperament, a pair of black eyes as bright as stars, but now it gives people a deep and unfathomable sense of wisdom.

One-armed, green shirt.

With a faint smile on his face.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the one-armed man in front of him, who had the demeanor of everyone, was just a small official in Jianyang County back then.

"Ah Fu!"

Deng Ji saw Cao Peng on the doorstep and immediately smiled.

He walked up, stretched out one arm, and hugged Cao Peng hard.

However, Deng Ji is lower than Cao Peng, and he is a little thin. So much so that he wanted to hug Cao Peng, but was stopped by Cao Peng and picked up.

"Brother-in-law, don't come unharmed."

Deng Ji's smile was even bigger.

Looking at the heroic young man in front of him, he couldn't believe that the young man who was sick ten years ago and fled from Zhongyang Mountain was the same person. Time is like a knife, a blink of an eye, the young man who followed him in the army in the Nine Women's City, then transferred to Nanyang, and went to Haixi with bumps, experienced countless turmoil and tribulations, and now has become a world-renowned and outstanding "Cao Gongzi".

Although the title of 'Gongzi' has been flooded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

But during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the unique meaning of the word 'Gongzi' was still not given to anyone.

'Childe', in the Warring States period, was a noble title.

Persons who are not princes and nobles, or who are of great status, cannot obtain them.

Now, although it is no longer as illustrious as it was earlier, it still has an unusual significance.

Being able to be called 'Childe' also represents a kind of recognition from the upper class. Therefore, the sons and daughters of those squires and tyrants may call themselves 'sons' in the local area, but when they arrive in the city, they immediately die down. If nothing else, if you call yourself a 'childe', you will not only be ridiculed, but may even lead to death. Especially in front of those celebrities, pay more attention to details.

Cao Peng, now he is a well-known 'son'.

Yanzhou is also a place where the strength of the clan is rampant, and when Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, it aroused the anger of Yanzhou Shilin and almost made Cao Cao lose his foundation. But even so, it still caused Chen Gong to defect, and Zhang Miao turned against him. It can be seen that the strength of Yanzhou Shilin is huge. Deng Ji is in Dongjun, which is also the place of Yanzhou. Of course, he knew how Cao Peng was viewed in Yanzhou Shilin.

Childe Friend!

This is the honorific title of the Dongjun scholars to Cao Peng.

In the eyes of the Dongjun scholars, Cao Peng is enough to be worthy of the word 'son'.

Is this the sick boy back then?

Deng Ji even felt a little trance.

"Ah Fu, I'll introduce you."

After a simple greeting, Deng Ji turned sideways and let go of the people behind him.

It was also a young man, and it didn't look much different from Deng Ji's age. Between the eyebrows, there was a touch of arrogance, but in front of Cao Peng, he was quite polite. Taking two steps forward, the young man waved his hand and respectfully bowed to Cao Peng.

"Deng Bomiao has seen Childe."

Deng Zhi?

Cao Peng smiled!

"Brother Bo Miao, don't come to harm, right?"

Deng Zhi didn't dare to slack off at all, and thanked him repeatedly.

From the first defection to Deng Ji, the arrogant and arrogant young man, to the calm and capable Dongjun who is now introverted and temperamental, Deng Zhi has gone through several twists and turns in the past few years. At the beginning, he defected to Deng Ji, but in his heart he still looked down on Deng Ji. In his eyes, Deng Ji is just a guy with super good luck, and somehow, he became a county magistrate and sat firmly in Haixi.

Therefore, at the beginning, Deng Zhi assisted on the surface, but he was actually selfish inside.

He even wanted to override Cao Peng's power left in Haixi, enhance the control of the Deng family, and finally replace Deng Ji......

It is precisely because of this that Deng Zhi was very active at the beginning.

When Cao Cao tried to transfer Deng Ji out of Haixi, Deng Zhi also strongly objected.

But in the end, he was persuaded by Puyang Min, and Deng Ji finally chose to leave. Then Bu Qi took over Haixi, and Deng Zhi wanted to break his wrist with Bu Qi. But he didn't want to be suppressed by Buqi and almost couldn't gain a foothold in Haixi, but fortunately, at this time, Deng Ji was in Yanjin Tuntian and transferred Deng Zhi away, which was a sigh of relief. At this time, Deng Zhi had lost his arrogance, but for Deng Ji, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Later, he served as the Sima of the city gate and asked him to assist Cao Ji.

At that time, Deng Zhi looked down on Cao Ji a little, thinking that he was a rough man and a contemptible man......

In the end, except for his old retainer, the captain of the city gate, he couldn't even mobilize a single soldier. Cao Ji seemed to ignore the Yamen, the captain of the city gate, but the eight soldiers and horses of the city gate were firmly in control. made Deng Zhi feel depressed and depressed...... He felt that he had learned for many years, but he was not even as good as a blacksmith-born husband, and he was so depressed and aggrieved in his heart.

It was Deng Ji again, who transferred him from Xudu and went to Puyang to take up his post.

At this time, Cao Peng had already begun to pass through Hexi, and Deng Zhi began to focus on the land of Hexi.

He has always been unconvinced, why can Cao Peng get such a big reputation? However, after paying attention, he was gradually convinced by Cao Peng.

It is okay to say that Cao Peng is lucky, and it is said that Cao Peng is talented and successful!

Anyway, the land west of the river was controlled by Cao Peng, and then its edge was revealed, causing the entire Liangzhou to oscillate......

Turn your hands into clouds, cover your hands for rain!

That's roughly the case.

Deng Ji's reliance on Deng Zhi did not diminish in the slightest, and he was appointed to work for Dongjun.

This also made Deng Zhi respect Deng Ji more and more. At the same time, he was even more shocked by Cao's energy in Xudu.

If you don't go deep into it, you will never know Cao Peng's energy.

originally thought that Cao Peng would be demoted and would be silent for a while. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, this guy would have a huge business...... The appearance of the Fu Paper Building shocked the people of Yanzhou. And the white paper has become the capital that everyone is sought after and even shown off. The Dongjun County Party suddenly became much more lively. Powerful gentlemen from all over Yanzhou came to visit Deng Ji.

Some want to ask for some white deer paper from Deng Ji, and some hope to cooperate with Fu Paper House to set up a store in Yanzhou......

Deng Ji's prestige seems to have improved a lot.

And from beginning to end, Cao Peng didn't even show up, and with just a piece of white deer paper, he knocked on the door of the Yanzhou family that Deng Ji had worked hard for two years and had never knocked on.

It was only at this time that Deng Zhi was completely convinced!

When I was in Haixi in the past, and even later followed Deng Ji to turn around, I always heard people say how Cao Peng was. But to be honest, after all, I haven't seen it, Deng Zhi doesn't believe it. But now he believes! Cao Peng can always accurately capture everyone's pulse, and without even saying a word, he can make people all over the world crazy. It's a wisdom and a means! Cao Peng seems to be degraded, but his status, and even his influence, have not weakened much because he is good at killing Wei Duan, but has become stronger and stronger.

It's just right, it's the end of the year!

Deng Zhi's parents died early and did not get married.

So Deng Ji invited him to go to Xingyang together, saying that it was the New Year.

Deng Zhi did not refuse, and came to Xingyang with Deng Ji......

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

The Cao family seems to have not been so lively for a long time.

Although Cao Ji is not there, Cao Peng is. Now in the Cao family, Cao Peng's importance has long surpassed Cao Ji and become the backbone of this big family. Nearly three years ago, he was on a expedition in Hexi and failed to return home, which made everyone feel that something was missing.

Now, he's back!

"If your father is also here, if Brother Wang is still here, if the tiger head and the big bear are here, our family will be truly reunited."

Zhang was in tears and muttered between the banquets.

Cao Nan hugged her mother and comforted her softly, "Mother, don't be sad, although my father is in Liangzhou, this mind is with us."

Two days ago, Ah Fu asked people to send the freshly marinated beef to Lintao, presumably his father is eating meat and drinking wine now, and he is lively with Bodao. ”

"yes, yes...... You see me, I'm older, I just like that.

Uncle and grandson, Ah Fu, as well as Lao Hong's sister-in-law, Brother Deng, let's drink this cup full, and I wish everything will go smoothly and be safe in the coming year. ”

"Madame, please!"

"Old lady, please!"

"Mother, please!"

Cao Peng and others raised a glass together and drank a full wine with Mrs. Zhang......

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

After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the old lady drank some wine and was a little tired, so she went back to her room to rest.

Huang Yueying and others gathered together and whispered about their daughter's family one after another. And Cao Peng, Deng Ji, Deng Zhi and Pound De and others gathered around again, drinking wine and chatting. Tiannan Haibei chatted, and the topic gradually led to the battle against the state in the coming year.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think about the battle of Merging States?"

Cao Peng is Deng Ji, full of knights.

Deng Ji pondered for a moment and then spoke: "I went to Xudu after the New Year, and I was about to discuss this matter with the lord.

And the state is a high-level cadre, but a clown jumping beam. If you want to get rid of it, it is effortless. However, I thought that it would not be easy to use troops against high-ranking cadres at this time. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Deng Ji suspiciously.

Deng Ji smiled and glanced at the silent Deng Zhi, "Actually, this is also the conclusion that Bo Miao mentioned and we discussed several times before we came to a conclusion." I think that the top priority of the lord at present is to eliminate Yuan Xi as soon as possible, not Gao Gan. Yuan Xi, the thief of the country. Although Youzhou is a bitter cold place, it cannot be underestimated. Yuan Shao has been operating in the north for a long time, and his momentum is very great. Although Yuan Shao is dead, he has left many parts. And most of these parts, after Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were killed, defected to Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi sits on the land of a state, and the external contact with Hulu, and the remnants of the inner group. If you take time, it will come to pass. If you want to eliminate it, you have to spend a lot of time, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, I thought that the most important thing was to eliminate Yuan Xi as soon as possible.

This is one of them. ”

Cao Peng looked at Deng Ji with a surprised gaze.

He was 100% sure that in his memory, there was no such person as Deng Ji.

And looking at his pride in pointing out the country now, where is the slightest bit of the decadence of the little official back then? Therefore, life is the best partner to hone people. Disasters can make people grow faster. Deng Ji lost an arm, and he was destined to be unable to climb to the top of the court. However, it has made it possible to dive in, ponder knowledge, vision and insight, and grow a lot more than at the beginning, and the overall situation has also been enhanced a lot.

"I want to hear about it."

"That's the second thing...... Let's let Bo Miao talk about it. ”

Deng Zhi nodded, and said with a straight face: "Childe, do you know, how many people are in Bingzhou?" How many Han dwellings are there? How many Hulu are there? ”

"This ......"

"It has eight counties, vast land, and most of them are plains and grasslands...... The population of the state is about 800,000, and if you count the non-registered population, it is at least about 1.5 million. Among them, Hermes-Epitek is only 40%, and Hulu is as much as 60%. Not to mention, the Southern Xiongnu who occupied Wuyuan and Shuofang had a population of hundreds of thousands, and there were countless people who controlled the strings. and fought for many years, and the land was barren...... It is as easy as a snap of the lord to destroy the high-level cadres. However, if the state is annexed, it will face huge trouble. First of all, after the annexation of the state, it will not be self-sufficient for at least three years. Therefore, the lord must be prepared to import a huge amount of grain and grass of 2 million hu to the state every year in order to stabilize the situation.

Second, the state is vast, and the passes are scattered.

After the lord took the annexation of the state, he had to fill the army in the annexation state to prevent harm. But the question is, from the Shangdang West River to the Yanmen Yunzhong, thousands of miles of borders, how to defend. I think that back then, with the strength of the violent Qin, he swallowed the south of the river and expelled the Hulu, but he was quickly recaptured by the Xiongnu. The difficulty is that this border is too long...... If the state is annexed, at least 200,000 soldiers and horses will be stationed, and the daily consumption will be amazing. ”

After Deng Zhi finished speaking, he glanced at Cao Peng.

I feel that Deng Ji and Deng Zhi have really spent a lot of effort on merging the state.

It is said in the book of war: Where the law of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, thousands of leather cars are carried, 100,000 armor is carried, and food is fed for thousands of miles. The cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, and the daily cost. Then, the 100,000 divisions were raised.

This is the cost of soldiers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

If you put it in this time, I am afraid that it is even more amazing!

The consumption of 200,000 troops, although Deng Zhi did not say, can estimate an approximate one.

Cao Peng couldn't help but nod again and again, "But there are three?" ”

"Third......" Deng Zhi took a deep breath, "Hu Lu is greedy and despicable, and he can't be relied on." Now, the Southern Xiongnu and Gao Gan have joined forces to gain a foothold. And Xianbei seems to be allied with the lord, but Kebineng can't be trusted. The Southern Huns are here, and they can't make a big disaster. But if the Southern Xiongnu are not there, the lord will face the entire Xianbei. Gongzi thinks that with the current ability of the lord, can he resist the Xianbei army? ”

Cao Peng raised his eyebrows and shook his head after a while.

It seems that it is not a good thing to take it back and merge it immediately.

He glanced at Deng Ji, and after a while, asked, "But if the high-level cadres attack and disturb, it will be a trouble after all, how can it be solved?" ”

Deng Ji smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about this?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

"The lord only needs to send a wise general to defend the pot pass, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will not dare to act rashly.

When the pot is closed, the high cadres can't toss any wind and waves. Bingzhou is like a gourd, the mouth is plugged, and the water in the gourd cannot flow out. With 3,000 soldiers and horses, a wise general, plus Cao Taishou and General Li, the senior cadres are like turtles in the urn, and they will die sooner or later.

Three years, just three years.

Only wait for Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou to recover, and the state will not be self-defeating. ”
