Chapter 258: Living Up to the Reputation

The heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were quietly placed in two wooden boxes, Cao Pi had never met Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, so Ji Yong, Zhang Nan, Yan Rou, these old generals of the Yuan family were called to identify, and several people were very surprised when they came, there were still more than 100,000 Yuan brothers in the big clan, and no less than 20,000 sergeants died like this, which is really a bit hard to believe.

After Cao Pi got the confirmation of the three of them, he immediately asked Gongsun Gong: "Why don't you explain your intention to Zhizhong?" ”

Gongsun Gong replied: "Zhou Mu Mingjian, this Liaoxi and Liaodong vassal countries and the big clan with a heart to the Yuan family, if the news of the dedication of the head is spread, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lower officials to come here through the two places, even if the news is not leaked, the lower officials will be quick on the way, and they dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear of being intercepted." ”

Cao Zhang asked, "How did the two of them bestow their heads?" ”

Gongsun Gong replied: "The two of them took 20,000 soldiers to Liaodong to join their brothers, and even dedicated the two counties of Liaoxi County and Liaodong to their brothers, but the brothers are Hanchen, and they know that Liaodong and Liaoxi County are the land of our dynasty, how can it be that the Yuan thieves said that they would offer it, so they pretended to set up a banquet to entertain the two brothers, but in fact, they secretly ambushed the sergeants, hacked the two to death, and took the heads of the two to attack the Yuan camp, and the 20,000 soldiers saw that the commander was dead, so they naturally surrendered. ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhang asked reluctantly: "So, these 20,000 soldiers are still in Liaodong County?" ”

Gongsun Gong replied, "Exactly." If the state pastor wants to take it back, he can send someone to Liaodong to receive it. ”

Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Pi and did not speak. Cao Pi smiled and said: "Liaodong is bound to go, Yongning Township Marquis has made this great achievement, and naturally the court will reward him, and then the reward of the Son of Heaven will naturally be read out." As for the 20,000 people........ There are many foreign tribes near Liaodong, and it is the time to use soldiers, and the Marquis of Yongning is on the border for my Han Dynasty, how can there be no soldiers? These 20,000 people are all thieves, and they are there to defend the territory and make a difference. ”

Gongsun Gong was overjoyed and thanked, Cao Pi immediately set up a banquet to entertain Gongsun Gong, and let the wine Tian Yu entertain the officials who came with Gongsun Gong, and Cao Pi returned to the mansion after a night of joy for the guests and hosts, but he heard someone tell him that Sima Yi was waiting in the house for a long time. Cao Pi immediately asked Sima Yi to wait for him in the study.

In the study, Cao Pi and Sima Yi sat opposite each other, only to hear Sima Yi say: "The grass people have found a large amount of limestone in Xu Wushan and Yanshan, and they have sent people to mine it, and at the same time, they will make lime-burning utensils according to the method taught by the state pastor, and the first batch of lime will be completed soon." ”

Cao Pi said: "This thing ........ It should be sold to the people first, and then sold to the government, so that Zhongda can make more money for a while, because I guess that as long as my father knows the magic of this thing, I am afraid that it will not be burned by people without permission, and this lime burning place will become an official kiln. ”

Sima Yi nodded and said: "That's true, if there is such a thing in the houses of the big clan manor Wubao in various places, you can build a house mainly with stone, which is much stronger and more durable, and if it is sold among the people, it can be sold for a large price." It's just that Zhong Changtong's side ....."

Cao Pi smiled and said, "I have already asked Zhong Changtong to close the lime-burning kiln, because he can't find limestone, and now the places where Yanshan and Xu Wushan are rich in limestone are your Sima family's manor, don't worry about this." Even if my father doesn't give you the fire, he still has to buy limestone from you, and the profit is less, but there is still some. ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The state pastor is smart, before the grass people were worried that the state pasture used limestone to hit the Wuhuan cavalry, and turned his head and let the grass people burn lime for sale, the discerning people knew at a glance that it was the state pastor who granted the grass people the method of burning, which would cause the commonplace to be unhappy, and now the state pastor said that the limestone can not be mined, and the grass people can say that some of my Sima clan are good at identifying soil and stone, and return these places with the method of burning lime, so even if Sikong knows it, it is not easy to blame the state pastor and the grass people, because the state pastor has a lot of things, It is impossible to mine limestone by himself, and the grass people Sima already have two people for Sikong's use, and it is also necessary to make some money. Besides, the state pastor wants limestone, and we will give it with both hands, and we will not take a penny. ”

"This is no different from farming at home, but the limestone has a greater effect, and there is no precedent, the state pastor will not take it to heart, since Zhongda is here, I happen to have another matter to inquire." Cao Pi said.

"Governor, please."

"I want to get rid of the Liaodong Gongsun clan, and then take the entire Youzhou into the palm of my hand, I don't know what Zhongda's good plan is? Now the Gongsun clan is called Liaodong Taishou, but in fact, it controls the three counties of Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuansu, and even because of the fall of the Yuan family, Wuhuan is declining, and the power has penetrated into Liaoxi and Liaodong. Cao Pi said.

Sima Yi smiled when he heard this: "This matter is simple, I heard that there are Buyeo, Goguryeo, Wofu, Sushen and other countries near Liaodong, these countries are afraid of its might, and they all surrender to him, since ancient times, surrender must send protons, this Liaodong County must have these foreign protons." ”

Cao Pi asked, "So what?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Since it is a proton, it is naturally the blood of the royal family, if you go back to inherit the national ancestry, it is understandable, the state pastor can find an excuse, let the Gongsun clan of Liaodong send troops to help a certain proton restore the country, it is best to find a foreign clan with a large force, let its troops be deeply trapped, or at that time or can sneak attack Liaodong, or take advantage of its defeat to send troops to help, occupy Liaodong, and take the Gongsun clan back to Youbeiping to be sealed." ”

Cao Pi laughed: "Brilliant plan! Now Gongsun Gongshang is in the mound, I sent people to have a banquet with his subordinates, looking for an opportunity to promise heavy profits, to find out which country Liaodong County has protons, and then let the imperial court issue an edict for the Liaodong Gongsun clan to send troops to restore the country. Those who are sent to other countries as hostages are not full of resentment against their emperor, and if someone helps him restore the country, he will naturally agree, this plan is wonderful! ”

Sima Yi said: "This edict allows the state pastor of the Gongsun clan to personally handle the matter of the restoration of the country, but the capture of Liaodong can be handled by the don't drive, so that the don't drive has a prestige in Liaodong, and it will be easier to deter Youzhou in the future, and at the same time, it can let Sikong know that the state pastor does not want to establish a prestige in Youzhou, and it can also complete the brotherhood between the state pastor and the other driver." ”

Cao Pi nodded again and again and said, "It should be so." ”

Sima Yi said: "It's getting late, and the grass people have to go back to Xu Wushan, so say goodbye." ”

Cao Pi said: "Zhongda walks slowly. ”

Sima Yi got up and saluted and left. Cao Pi watched the back of this person leave and said to himself: "There is no vanity under the fame! This is the person who understands "The Legend of the Ram"... (To be continued.) )
