Under Cao Ming's supervision, the county lieutenant returned the gold and silver to the people, and also wrote a letter of guarantee that he would not continue to set up checkpoints.

The situation in Yuzhou is indeed very bad, much worse than in Jingzhou and other places, where there are refugees begging and even selling their children and daughters.

"Childe is good, save us!" A woman with a child stopped Cao Ming's carriage, apparently not intending to let them pass, presumably thinking that being crushed by the carriage was better than starving to death.

Cao Ming said to Shangguan Qing when she heard this: "Give them a little dry food, remember to let them spread the news, just say that there is more food in Yanzhou, and let the refugees go in the direction of Yanzhou." ”

Shangguan Qing said: "Niangniang is trying to win over refugees, so that the population of Yanzhou will increase, and the military strength will be strengthened accordingly." ”

After getting the food, the woman got out of the way, and at the same time spread the news that there was food in Yanzhou, which was hope in the hearts of the refugees.

After a two-day journey, the carriage soon entered the hinterland of Yanzhou, and the surrounding situation changed a lot, the refugees were basically extinct, and most of the people were dedicated to farming.

Cao Ming lifted the curtain and looked at the field, and wondered in his heart: "Shangguan Qing, look at these people ploughing the land, why are they all using two cows, in my opinion, one is enough." ”

After hearing this, Shangguan Qing smiled and said: "Niangniang may not have worked in farming, if this plough uses two oxen, the speed of ploughing will be much faster." ”

Cao Ming suddenly remembered that this was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Quyuan plough was invented in the Tang Dynasty, so he simply let it come out in advance.

Cao Ming remembered that there was a plow at her grandmother's house in her previous life, and she still remembered the shape of the plow very clearly, as long as she drew it from memory.

Anyway, this thing has no technology content at all, and the material is ordinary wood and iron, and it will definitely be able to be made after a long time.

Shangguan Qing frowned and smiled when she saw Cao Ming, and said incomprehensibly: "Niangniang didn't think of something, can you tell me?" ”

Cao Ming coughed lightly and said, "I'm just interested in this plow, by the way, after you send me back, do you plan to return to your master?" ”

Shangguan Qing shook his head and said, "Master asked me to follow you, although I am not a great talent, I can also solve problems for my mother." ”

Cao Ming thought to himself that this person was Sima Hui's apprentice, and his knowledge and morality would definitely not be bad, and it would be good to stay by his side.

Thinking of this, Cao Ming couldn't help laughing: "Are you sure you want to follow me, the men around me are eunuchs, so don't you want to castrate!" ”

Shangguan Qing's face changed and said: "I am just a strategist, as for being a eunuch, I am not competent in the next place, so Niangniang should choose someone else." ”

Cao Ming stopped laughing and said, "I was joking with you just now, if you really let you become a eunuch, your master won't have to fight hard with me." ”

Shangguan Qing's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he thought that if he really wanted to let himself be a eunuch, wouldn't the bloodline of his generation be broken.

Just when Cao Ming was chatting with Shangguan Qing, a group of elite cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, and the number of cavalry was about more than 100 people.

Shangguan Qing stopped the carriage, observed it carefully, and said, "There is a team of cavalry in front, it is estimated that they are here to meet us, Niangniang should make some preparations." ”

The cavalry team went from far to near, and the person at the head was Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, followed by a soldier with a face.

"Stop!" Cao Cao ordered the team to stop, and he stepped forward to greet him alone, apparently not wanting to lose his manners.

Cao Cao stepped forward and bowed: "Minister Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, knock to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"What am I supposed to say?" Cao Ming's heart couldn't help but panic, and she couldn't think of what to say for a while, as if she had to call someone to get up or something.

Shangguan Qing reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang should get out of the car now, and then say to the state pastor to be even." ”

Cao Ming's heart beat hard, and then he got out of the car and said, "Flat!" Thank you for welcoming you, Father Cao, are we going back to Dongjun? ”

Cao Cao got up and replied, "Qi Yu Niangniang, your palace is in Shanyang County for the time being, and you will move to another place when you have the opportunity in the future." ”

Cao Ming felt a little awkward and said: "I haven't been canonized, now it's just a title, let's talk normally." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "It's worthy of being my daughter, I also feel awkward, come and let me take a look, has my Ming'er lost weight?" ”

Cao Ming patted her belly and said, "I may be a little fat, but my father has lost weight, and he must have stayed up late again." ”

The scholar walked over respectfully and said, "Lord, let's talk about something when I go back, isn't the public platform already preparing a banquet, don't let them wait any longer." ”

Cao Cao introduced Cao Ming: "This is the strategist recommended to me by Xun Yu, whose surname is Zhongzi Zhicai. ”

Xi Zhong arched his hand and said: "The villain is in poor health, and it is difficult to bow down, and I hope that the mother will forgive the sin." ”

Cao Ming agreed: "Then you don't have to kneel, I don't like this kind of etiquette either, so it's better to just abandon it, and save yourself from having to kneel once when you see someone, which feels very troublesome." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Nonsense, you are the queen now, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, don't say this kind of thing in the future." ”

"Got it!" Cao Ming thought that he was just a title, and it would not be too late to change it after he was really canonized, hoping that the emperor would change his mind halfway, so that he would not have to suffer this crime.

At this time, Chang'an City was in ruins, full of corpses and broken tiles, and occasionally screams.

The streets were full of Xiliang rebels, they were like wolves of wealth, they killed people on the spot when they saw them, and the people could only go out at night to find food, and during the day they could only hide in their houses or in the ruins.

In the Weiyang Palace, Li Dao looked at the roster in his hand, and then the eunuch said: "This number is a little wrong, you see that the emperor is in this palace, but only the queen's figure is missing." ”

The eunuch trembled and said, "The general doesn't know, this queen was selected recently, and she is not in the palace for the time being." ”

Li Dao threw the roster on the ground and said: "It's really unlucky, Lao Tzu thought he could taste the taste of the queen, but I didn't expect this person to be in the palace, you go and find a palace maid for this general." ”

"General, wait a minute." The eunuch wiped his cold sweat and retreated, thinking to himself that the thieves were causing trouble in the government, and now the entire Weiyang Palace is hell on earth, when will it be the end.

On the upper floor of Shanyang County, Cao Ming looked at the moon and was stunned until a person appeared behind him, and this person was Yang Heng, the commander of the Snow Wolf Army.

After Cao Ming saw Yang Heng, he was puzzled: "Why didn't General Yang go to the banquet, as a general, he should be invited, it's not that the food at the banquet is not palatable." ”

Yang Heng arched his hand and said: "The last general feels that there is nothing to celebrate, now that the imperial court has fallen into the hands of thieves, and the people are in distress, it is really not happy." ”

After listening to this, Cao Ming said: "I believe that the situation will change, I don't know how the Snow Wolf Army is doing now, has the number of people increased?" ”

Yang Heng said proudly: "The Snow Wolf Army is very popular with the people, the number has reached 20,000, and many soldiers now have families. ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "I heard that the lord has set up a tiger and leopard battalion, is it a snow wolf army to imitate, you shouldn't have said the training method, right?" ”

Yang Heng shook his head: "The last general has always remembered Niangniang's entrustment, and did not say our unique training method, as for the tiger and leopard battalion set up by the lord, it is actually a fine cavalry, all of which are composed of cavalry, and the assault may be stronger than us, but the infantry and siege are far worse than us." ”

Cao Ming thought to himself that this cavalry was really important, if only he could have a cavalry in his hands, but unfortunately Cao Cao would not agree to this matter, and even the Snow Wolf Army would not let himself take care of it.

Thinking of this, Cao Ming said: "Yang Heng wants you to do something, if you can't do it, I will remove your position, now that Yuzhou is out of order, I want you to take the opportunity to enter Yuzhou." ”

Yang Heng was puzzled and said: "Yuzhou is not a prosperous place, and it is also a war zone, even if we can successfully take the counties, but we can't hold such a large area." ”

Cao Ming was a little hated and said: "Can your brain be flexible, who let you take the county, I will write the strategy when the time comes, you just need to follow the above strategy, and you can control Yuzhou." ”

Cao Ming decided to let Yang Heng become a guerrilla, practice has proved that the moves of a certain great man are absolutely practical, what is there to grab in those counties, and after making those warlords feel disgusted, they will definitely choose to leave Yuzhou.

Two days later, in the Thorn History Mansion in Shanyang County, Cao Ming was drinking tea in his house, and at the same time holding a bamboo slip in his hand, which was engraved with the three words of Warring States Policy.

At this time, Cao Cao hurriedly walked in, with a little anger on his face, thinking that he wanted to hold the other party accountable.

Cao Ming pretended to be confused and said: "It turned out to be Lord Zhoumu, I don't know what to do with this palace, this palace is reading the Warring States Policy." ”

Cao Cao sneered and said: "Good one is reading the Warring States Policy, let me ask you where the Snow Wolf Army went, after last night, even the battalion with baggage was gone, and that Shangguan Qing was gone, your actions are terrifying!" ”

Cao Ming dragged the handle with one hand and said, "It may be that they went to train the army, my father doesn't have to worry too much, maybe he will be back in a few months." ”

Cao Cao was even more angry after hearing this, and raised his hand to slap Cao Ming, but Cao Ming blocked it out of instinct, but Cao Cao fell down.

Cao Ming hurriedly helped Cao Cao up: "I really didn't mean it, if you are angry, you will fight!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ming's pitiful appearance, sighed and said: "This matter is over, I hope you can tell me the next time you make a decision, after all, I am your biological father, and my father will not harm his own children." ”
