Yecheng.

In the government hall in the palace, more than a dozen core ministers of the Wei dynasty were all standing in front of Cao Cao with some trepidation, and Cao Cao's face was gloomy as water, cold as ice.

"Father, this is an urgent report from the Julu County Guard!"

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and the prince Cao Ang could only personally hold a copy of the recital and hand it to Cao Cao: "Guangzong has sent troops to Quzhou, Quzhou is in a hurry, and the giant deer soldiers and horses are too late, so I ask Handan to send troops to help!" ”

"Smack!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly stood up irritably, and a pair of big hands smashed the things on the desk to the ground, and a pair of gloomy eyes swept over the ministers.

"A little traitor, actually beat them like this, three days, in less than three days, Lone actually lost three cities!"

"The king's wrath!"

The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads and shouted.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Jizhou is lonely, in the most difficult time, they all survived one by one, and now Jizhou has stabilized, seeing that Lone is about to move the capital to Luoyang City, but I didn't expect that at this time, someone is anti-Lonely, Guangzong is rebellious, why is this?" ”

Guangzong had a husband, named Zhang Wei, who erected the banner of Zhang Liang, the former general of Rengong, and led his troops against Wei.

This matter was not Cao Cao's concern.

The yellow scarf has been a matter of more than ten years, and its banner has no impact on the world today.

However, in just three days, Guangzong City has gathered 3,000 thieves, holding high the banner of the Yellow Turbans of the past, and has the momentum of the Yellow Turbans of the past, and has captured the two surrounding cities in succession. Even with Julu County, he was about to move.

Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and because of this situation, not only Julu, but also the whole Jizhou has some precursors of chaos.

The situation was in a few days, and it was eroded to a point that Cao Cao himself couldn't even imagine, and he couldn't get out of hand. He knew very well that if Guangzong could not be stabilized quickly, I am afraid that Jizhou might still cause a rebellion.

The spreading power of the yellow scarf, he had witnessed with his own eyes.

Cao Cao raised his head, looking at his left and right henchmen with gloomy eyes, the head of civil and military affairs, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, and his gloomy voice continued to echo in the government affairs hall: "Zhicai, Wen Ruo." Wait until you tell Lonely, why is this? Is it the power of the remnants of Jin who is fighting back? ”

Although the Jin State was destroyed, he has accumulated a lot of reputation in running Jizhou for nearly ten years, and when he ruled Jizhou, he also experienced several counterattacks by the remnants of the Jin State.

"King, Zhang Wei's matter is unusual!" Xun Yu stood up and arched his hand: "Since the Wei State pacified Jizhou. Although there have been a few scattered counterattacks, but this time. Obviously, it has nothing to do with the destroyed Jin Kingdom. ”

"What do you mean, maybe they're just the resurgence of the Yellow Turban?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a frown.

Until now, he still hasn't connected this rebellion with the affairs of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, in his opinion, a group of mercenary. A businessman who is greedy for life and afraid of death cannot have such energy.

"It's not!"

Xun Yu shook his head, his eyes crossed with a glint of essence, and he said lightly: "This matter should have something to do with Wu Guo!" ”

"Wu Guo?"

Cao Cao's heart moved. Turning his head, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost pawns, and asked coldly: "Wenhe, you come and tell Gu, what is going on?" ”

"King, there are only two reasons why this matter has evolved into the current situation, first, the merchants of Guangzong are hoarding grain, and second, someone is making a stumbling block and adding fuel to the fire, so that things have evolved to the point where they are today!"

Jia Xu said calmly.

"Who?" Cao Cao raised his head and looked awe-inspiring: "Who is doing the trick in the end?" ”

"Wu Guojin Yiwei!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The matter of Guangzong's rebellion, the ghost pawn has been quickly investigated, but the progress is not much, someone is deliberately covering some people, and they can fight against the ghost pawn on the ground in Jizhou, under the whole world, there is only Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei should only be an auxiliary, the main first offender, should be the Beidi Chamber of Commerce, a suspicion, the two giants of the Beishang Chamber of Commerce, Su Shuang and Zhang Li, are in Jizhou, they use the power of the merchants under the Chamber of Commerce to disrupt the market, raise prices, and finally clear the grain, and the people have no food, Naturally, it will turn against us! ”

"Damn it!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he punched the bookcase, took a deep breath, he thought about it, and shouted: "Wenyuan! ”

"The last general!"

After the first battle of Guandu, Zhang Liao, who had been promoted to the general of Wei, stood up in great strides and bowed his hand respectfully.

"Do you have a plan to quell the chaos?" Cao Cao's eyes were vivid and he asked.

"King, now there are heavy troops stationed in Handan, only yellow turbans, and the soldiers are all young and strong, we only need one general, lead the army north, within three days, this chaos can be extinguished!" Zhang Liao said indifferently.

Now the Wei army, which is strong and strong, has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and it is easy to extinguish this small rebellion.

Guangzong Zhang Wei, although he erected the Yellow Turban battle flag in the past, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been more than ten years in the past, and the impact is weak, and there are few people who respond.

The only one who responded to them was the Black Mountain Yellow Turban.

But as long as the Black Mountain Yellow Turban gets out of the Black Mountain, it may still be a good thing for the Wei State, and this scourge can be cut down.

Moreover, the Wei State was not the Han Dynasty of the past, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, who had been recuperating for many years, had long been ineffective in battle, so they were beaten like this by the Yellow Turban Uprising.

But the Wei army has been defeated step by step, and the soldiers and horses of the Wei State have not been on the battlefield for ten years, and there are countless generals, and the soldiers are iron-blooded.

"King, the last general does not approve of sending troops to quell the chaos!"

But at this time, Xun Yu suddenly stood up and bowed down.

"Wen Ruo, why are you dying?" Cao Cao frowned: "If Lone doesn't send troops to suppress it, I'm afraid it won't take a few days for them to hit Yecheng!" ”

"King, Weichen agrees with what the prime minister said, this time you can't send troops to suppress it!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Tell me about Lone, why?" Cao Cao saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs he relied on the most were all opposed to sending troops, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"Great King, Jizhou has been ruled by the Wei State, and there are thousands of rebels. Even if Yuan Shao is resurrected and gathers 100,000 troops, he can be destroyed with a backhand, unless Wu sends troops south, no one can shake our rule in Jizhou, but this time the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The root cause is not here, once the troops are sent to quell the chaos, I am afraid that it will add fuel to the fire! ”

Xun Yu's expression was solemn, and he said: "This chaos, the ministers have already understood, it is purely a rebellion of officials and people, these rebels are pure and virtuous, and the reason why they will oppose us is only because of food!" ”

"Is Zhang Wei also a pure person?"

Cao Cao said coldly.

"The King. Although Zhang Wei is Zhang Liang's guard in the past, there has been no sign of rebellion over the years, and now he is only forced to embark on a desperate road, so he will gather troops to rebel! Jia Xu said.

"You say, what should Lone do?"

Cao Cao looked at the ministers one by one, calmed down, and asked.

"King, the bell must be tied to the bell!"

Xun Yu's gaze crossed with a sharp essence. Said: "Wu Guo used a group of merchants from the Northland Chamber of Commerce this time to disturb the markets in Jizhou. The intention is to mess with my Jizhou, if we send troops, we are in the middle of it, Guangzong's rebellion is just a small trouble, if we can't deal with this group of businessmen, I'm afraid there will be countless Guangzong in Jizhou. It is easy for us to level a Guangzong, but if the whole Jizhou is against us, then our Wei State is in Jizhou, but there will be a big problem! ”

Gwangjong rebellion. It seems that the problem is serious, but in fact, for Wei State, it is just a small itch, not a problem, and if you want to calm the chaos, it will be a matter of a few days.

But at present, the most important thing is to hide in the shadows and keep an eye on the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

Xun Yuke is very worried about the prices these days, he is afraid that the entire market in Jizhou will be messed up, and when the time comes, it will be really difficult to clean up the situation.

"What a group of businessmen, I underestimate them!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it for a while, and asked with some gritted teeth: "You and Gu have a good talk, how should they deal with it?" ”

When more than a dozen ministers heard this, they glanced at each other, and they couldn't say why.

If it is a confrontation between two armies and a battle between soldiers, they are good at it, and they can say a reason casually, but these businessmen who are like rats, they really don't know how to deal with them!

"King, for the sake of today's plan, we must not easily use the army, since they are using money to disrupt the market, we can only use money to stabilize the market!"

Xun Yu bowed down.

"Lone doesn't quite understand!" When Cao Cao heard this, he had some doubts in his heart.

"The king, the minister recommends a person for the king!" Xun Yu smiled slightly, in fact, he was a little unfamiliar with these, but after Chen Qun's reminder, with his wisdom and experience, he saw more nature than Chen Qun.

He analyzed in a low voice: "This person has a deep study of the Chamber of Commerce of Wu State, maybe he can come up with some strategies for us!" ”

"Who?"

Cao Cao's gaze came with a hint of interest.

"King Qiyu, this person is the son of Yingchuan Confucian Chen Ji, Chen Qun!" Xun Yu said: "This person was born in Yingchuan Academy, young and studious, last year, Zhong Xuan personally raised filial piety, and now he has become a small scribe in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"The son of Yuan Fanggong?"

Cao Cao's expression moved slightly, the Chen family is also a Yingchuan family, and Chen Ji is one of the best Confucians in Yingchuan, on par with Zhong Xuan.

"That's the man!" Xun Yu nodded: "He is already waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Immediately pass on Chen Qun to see you!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"No!"

Several guards outside the government affairs hall hurriedly went to give orders.

In a quarter of an hour, under the eyes of the ministers of the Wei State, the young Chen Qun walked into the government affairs hall in the heart of the Wei State step by step.

"Minister, Chen Qun, meet the king!" Chen Qun arched his hands and bowed.

"Chen Qun, what is your character?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this young man, and it has always been unusual to be recommended by an upright person like Xun Yu.

"Minister, the word is long!"

Chen Qun replied respectfully.

"Changwen, if Wen Ruo said, you have a way to deal with these businessmen in your heart, right?" Cao Cao's eyes were a little awe-inspiring, and Chen Qun's heart was a little more stressed.

He let out a long breath of turbidity, stabilized his mind, and said: "Weichen does not have absolute confidence, but Weichen thinks that since Wu does not send troops, if we send troops to each other, wouldn't we lose the upper hand, they dare to use merchants to fight, why shouldn't Wei State fight?" Weichen is willing to fight for the Wei State! (To be continued......)
