Chapter 147: Ruthless
In these years, the fastest way to deliver a message is by word of mouth, which is much faster than letters and urgent documents, and in word of mouth, the transmission of information between readers is faster than that circulated by ordinary people, and the same message, if the reader dares to be interested, then the speed of its spread is incredible.

Cao Pi once thought about this phenomenon, and the final result was that it was better for readers to step up, and they didn't have to be busy with life, so the days were more comfortable, and it was definitely indispensable to call friends to drink and chant poetry together, since they drank together, they would say some things from all over the world, if everyone was interested in this matter, and then the next place to call friends and friends would naturally be mentioned, friends of friends and friends, plus the children of the wealthy family hunting, doing business, and visiting each other are far away from the people who are trapped in geography and other harvests to eat. Naturally, the news spread quickly.
It has always been Cao Pi's plan to move the wine shop to Yecheng, because Cao Cao will inevitably move the military power he has mastered to Yecheng, for no other reason, the current Xu Capital is still the imperial capital after all, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, is still the emperor, and Cao Cao, who has the sole power, actually controls all the military and political powers, which is a conflict point in itself, and there are still many people who support the Son of Heaven, such as Xun Yu and Xun You, who have a high status in the Cao army, also support this crumbling Han River. The reason why they assisted Cao Cao was just to believe that Cao Cao was the one who could set things right.
If Cao Cao has been living in the same city with Liu Xie, the son of heaven, over time, no one can guarantee that the military and political power he holds will slowly run to Liu Xie's body, and now Cao Cao can take the initiative, the reason is that he controls a strong army, and in the case of Dong Cheng, the power of the imperial court has been wiped out by Cao Cao. This is also the reason why no one dares to openly oppose Cao Cao.
However, under the continuation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, the reputation of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has immeasurable potential and appeal, which has been proved by the strategy of the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, this reputation can help Cao Cao rise, and naturally divide his rights, especially under the premise of pacifying the four northern states, because countless generals and pawns will enter the system of Cao's army. This made Cao Jun's original team from the Cao family's disciples, to the Qingzhou soldiers, and then to the fusion of Yuan's generals, even more impure.
The more impure the team, the easier it is for other forces to penetrate. In later generations, infiltrating the army can be a political belief, a political proposition, or even a vision for the future, but now, infiltrating the army is only two words: Huangwei! No matter how inactive and weak Liu Xie is now, like a statue offered by Cao Cao, he has imperial authority on his body after all, which is the influence of the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty and the hearts of all the people of the Han Dynasty, and this influence is natural and no one can take it away.
Which of the generals and soldiers in Cao's army is not a big Han citizen? And who does not agree with the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is afraid that only the children of the Cao family and the children of the Xiahou family will agree with Cao Cao a little more, on the contrary, those generals and soldiers who surrendered to Cao Cao from later surrendered to Cao Cao will more or less think that they are just surrendering to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In the face of the continuous expansion of the military system, it is very difficult to prevent people with ulterior motives from infiltrating their own army with imperial authority, if they continue to leave their army in Xudu, the officials loyal to the imperial court, and even Xun Yu and Xun Yu in their own Cao army camp, are very likely to use the Han imperial prestige This highly penetrating concept to change the object of the soldiers' allegiance, this is undoubtedly a great challenge to Cao Cao's absolute control, and in the end, I am afraid that even Cao Cao himself can not tell whether his army is recognizing himself or Liu Xie.
Leaving Xudu, is Cao Cao's imperative choice, and Yecheng, is an ideal location, first, it is in the center of the Jizhong Plain, the terrain is open, can be stationed in the army Second, the Jizhong Plain must be more suitable for the Central Plains to open up a horse farm, since there are stirrups, horseshoes and high bridge saddles, Cao Cao has always wanted to expand his cavalry, fourth, the Jizhong Plain to the west can enter the state, the north is into Youzhou, to the east can control Qingzhou, to master the four states in the north here is definitely a strategic place in the center. Fifth, Yuan Shao has been stationed in Yecheng for many years and has been repaired many times, and Yecheng already has the prototype of a big city and is a place to be guarded for a long time.
Cao Pi asked Li Dian to release that he would open a store in Yecheng in the coming year, first, to tell the world that Yecheng will be broken in the coming year, and secondly, to vaguely remind Cao Cao that Yecheng is the best place for the Cao family to live in peace. Especially the second point is particularly important, if Cao Cao didn't think of these, this is a reminder, if Cao Cao thought of it, then he felt that Cao Pi knew his father's heart, not to mention that if he could attract more scholars to Yecheng, it would be a good thing for Cao Jun to enrich talents.
Li Dian would not understand Cao Pi's good intentions, but he still wrote to those fellow villagers, telling them that they had the courage to come to Yecheng to buy wine in the coming year.
In the days that followed, Cao Pi lived a life of studying. On the day of sword practice, although Lu Lingqi was also in the army, she didn't say a word about the so-called covenant of martial arts, and Cao Pi seemed to have forgotten it.
Time flies, a few months pass in a blink of an eye, in August of the eighth year of Jian'an, Jia Xu found Cao Pi and smiled at Cao Pi: "Sikong is going to withdraw the army." ”
"Can't take it from Yecheng?"
"There is more than one Yecheng in the Jizhong Plain, Yuan Shao has been there for a long time, many cities are located next to the Chi Road, and there are many cities built by water, the terrain is dangerous, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang divided their troops to guard the city with dangerous terrain, each of them became a corner, echoing Yecheng, the air force is not enough to control all the cities in the Jizhong Plain, it is difficult to take Yecheng, sacrificial wine: Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have become suspicious, it is better to withdraw the army and garrison Liyang. Wait for them to attack each other and then take the opportunity to attack and fall in one fell swoop. ”
Cao Pi nodded and said, "As soon as the external troubles are loosened, the brothers will inevitably make trouble." ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Sikong is cautious, afraid that the two will not be able to make trouble, the sacrificial wine will be immediately offered, and the troops will be divided to escort the people to harvest all the visible wheat in the Jizhou Plain, so that the entire Jizhou army and people will lack food, the north is cold, and if there is no food, it will be fatal, Yuan Shang will inevitably follow the state, Youzhou and borrow grain, but the land of Qingzhou is lost, Yuan Tan hurriedly returned to the north, I am afraid there is no food, Yuan Tan also needs to borrow grain, Youzhou is close to Qingzhou, and Jizhou is close to Jizhou, and the two brothers can only borrow grain from one state, Yuan Tan is also good, Jizhou has a large population, I am afraid that many people will starve to death, Yuan Shang will also be dissatisfied with Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan is angry with Yuan Shang, so it would be strange if he didn't fight. ”
Cao Pi understands how cruel it is for the people of Jizhou to harvest grain in the autumn, and he is dead without the food for the winter, and not only the people die, I am afraid that many big clans will also die, Guo Jia is still as ruthless as ever
