Gongsun Xu was sealed as the Marquis of Youbeiping, received 1500 Shiyi, and also got a Changshui Lieutenant with a rank of 2,000 stones, although now Youbeiping is still under the control of Yuan Shao, but the income of 1500 Shiyi was collected from the jurisdiction of Cao Jun, so Gongsun Xu received a good income from the day he was sealed, but when Cao Pi saw him in the main hall, this person's mood did not seem to be very good, his face was depressed, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that it was caused by frequent insomnia.

Cao Pi looked at Gongsun and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Youbei Pinghou seems to be in poor spirits, but he is not accustomed to the water and soil of Xu Du?" ”

"I took refuge in Sikong because I wanted to go north with the army and crusade against Yuan Shao in order to avenge my revenge, not another marquis, guarding an idle post of two thousand stones in Xudu." Gongsun continued to say bluntly.

Now Cao Cao's army is the Northern Army, with five battalions of Wuwei, Zhongjian, Zhongbase, Xiaocai, and guerrilla, and only these five battalions have sergeants, in addition, only the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Tiger Guard Battalion and the Southern Army have soldiers, although Gongsun Xu, the captain of Changshui, also has a silver seal and blue ribbon of two thousand stones, but not only does he have no soldiers, but he does not even have a subordinate officer, and the Zhongji who followed Dong Cheng's ass back then is also a captain of Changshui, and the situation is the same as that of Gongsun Xu now.

"This year's battle of Cangting is just to capture a stronghold to cross the river for Yuan Shao in the north, and now our army in the four states of Yuan Shao in the north has only won half of Qingzhou, and the right Beiping Marquis has no chance to fight?" Cao Pi said with a smile.

"Having said that, the few white horse guards who have taken refuge with me have already been incorporated into the guerrilla camp to serve, why do I still stay in Xudu?" Gongsun continued to ask.

"I thought Sikong wanted to keep the right Beiping Marquis to be activated at a critical time."

"When is the pinch?"

"Since the Hou has been sealed, it is natural to lead the army to echo our army, instead of staying in the division of the air force to seek a job, I don't know if the Hou of Beiping thinks so?"

"I'm a man whose family is ruined, how can I come as a sergeant?"

"When Yuan Shao besieged Lingzun that day, where did the Marquis of Youbei Pinghou go for help?"

"Go to Montenegro at the junction of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou to ask for help."

"I learned from the Shangshutai military situation that the leader of this Montenegro is named Zhang Yan, and the army under his command is called the Montenegrin Army. Emperor Ling immediately appointed Zhang Yan as the general of the Ping Nan Zhonglang, not only let him manage the political affairs of the mountainous area north of the great river, but also allowed him to recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and sent officials to Luoyang to make a report. Later, this Zhang Yan had a dispute with Yuan Shao, who unified the northern land, and when Lu Bu left Chang'an to join Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao also borrowed Lu Bu's hand to defeat Zhang Yan in a row, so that he hid in the Black Mountain, but Rao is like this, there are still tens of thousands of people under this person's command, and it is the son who asks him for help, right? "Cao Pi's official residence is in charge of Jinwu, and he can refer to the military situation of Shangshutai at any time, which is also the meaning that Cao Cao can cultivate.

"That's right, now Zhang Yan is still connected with the thieves in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi valleys, although the weapons are crude, but they can make up 100,000 people, but Yuan Shao is strong, so they are hidden in the mountains." Gongsun replied.

"What does Zhang Yan use to feed a population of 100,000? Plus the thieves' families, how many rations have to be eaten. Cao Pi heard Gongsun continue to say that there were 100,000 people, and suddenly became interested, after all, even if there were only tens of thousands of people, he felt a little incredible, let alone 100,000, he didn't believe that these thieves were self-sufficient in farming in the mountains.

"The local wealthy people provide for the ears." Gongsun replied.

"Why?"

"It can make them take away the small farmers of Kollio County, take their grain, destroy their fields, and then force the small farmers who have no way to live into their estates to become tenant farmers."

"Yuan Shao doesn't care?" Cao Pi is very incredible Yuan Shao will allow this kind of thing to occur in his own jurisdiction, in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which are controlled by Cao Cao, as long as there are bandits, they will be exterminated as soon as possible, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan did not know how many bandits were exterminated in these two states in the early days, as for Xuzhou and Chang'an, Luoyang is also the same, for bandits, Cao Cao has a zero-tolerance attitude, so when hybrid rice comes out, it is difficult for the big clans in Cao Jun's jurisdiction to annex the land, because the taxes have been reduced, the price of grain has stabilized, and the small farmers have a way to live. Although this way of life is temporary.

"If Yuan Shao wants to take care of it, how can he afford to raise an army of nearly 100,000? These armies are all supplied by the food of the local clans, and the hundreds of thousands of people are tenant farmers of the manor, how vast the land of the four states is, and the 100,000 army of the Yuan family cannot leave a few people in each county of the four states, so how can they defend the border? What's more, the army still has to rely on the taxes of the big clans to provide support, and the expedition has to rely on them to send out the people's husbands, if this kind of big clan annexed the land and forced people to become tenant farmers, he would not be able to do it today. "Gongsun Xu has been fighting with Yuan Shao all the year round, and he obviously knows each other very well.

"In this way, Yuan Shao and my father's governance methods are really different." Cao Cao is now implementing the tuntian system, the farmers in the tuntian can become tenant farmers as soon as they turn around, if they are suppressing bandits in the territory, they can even be used as soldiers, and there are field officials and farmers in the counties and counties of tuntian, in cooperation with the Taishou, they definitely have the ability to suppress the local clans, so that they can not use similar methods to drive thieves and rob to force small farmers into the manor and more tenants, so whether it is a border county with a large garrison or an internal county that does not border with the princes, small farmers can live and work in peace and contentment since the emergence of hybrid rice.

"It is indeed the opposite of the north, if it is said that there is still a peaceful place in the world, that is, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, which are ruled by the sky. The west of Sili is close to the Hu and Han miscellaneous places in Yongzhou, the people are fierce, and there are many thieves who are self-respecting, so although Zhong Xuan holds the festival pass, it is only half of the place east of Chang'an. The situation on the west side of the country is probably even more sinister than that of Montenegro. ”

"Does the Marquis of Youbei Pingping also know a lot about the situation in Guanzhong?" Cao Pi said with a smile.

Gongsun continued to laugh and said: "This Yongzhou and Bingzhou are not only separated by the big river, but also separated by Helan Mountain, Wolf Mountain, Daqing Mountain, to pass from the Central Plains, it can be called thousands of mountains and rivers, but if you go out of the pass, ride a horse and gallop, the higher the grassland next door, it is not so far, when you were at war with Xianbei, you have saved a lot of Han people who were captured by Xianbei people from Guanxi, so you naturally know a little bit about it." ”

"If I go to Chang'an one day, I will definitely take the Right Beiping Marquis." Cao Pi said with a smile.

"Childe, why don't you think of a good plan first, how to let me attack Yuan Shao in the north."

"What's so difficult about this, the Son of Heaven, ask for a piece of music to go to Montenegro to recruit Zhang Yan, and get 100,000 people, echoing Sikong to attack Yuan Shao in the north, at that time, even if you don't want to participate in the war, it is impossible."

Gongsun continued to shoot the case, and said to Cao Pi: "Clever plan! Thank you, Childe! Back then, his father was defeated and died, Zhang Yan was afraid that Yuan Shao would not dare to send troops, and now Yuan Shao is defeated, Sikong Shengwei Rilong, and then there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yan will inevitably surrender! After saying that, he hurried away.
