Chapter 1320: Flooding
Thank you for a monthly pass rewarded by the Grape Lychee Wine Girl!
Alex came to a clay figure vendor, pointed to the vivid clay figurines, and asked curiously, "What is this?" So cute! ”
At this time, Alex looks like a heroine who dominates the world, and she is clearly a young girl with a childlike heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Cao Cao suddenly thought that he saw Diao Chan in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward.
Cao Cao explained: "This is a clay figure! It is a kind of craft in the Central Plains! This master can make anyone look like in a short time! ”
Alex couldn't help but be amused, and asked the honest-looking vendor, "Really?" ”
The vendor nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes!" Two generals, please wait! With a thick Guanzhong accent.
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "How do you know that the two of us are generals?" ”
The vendor picked at his head and said honestly: "I guessed!" ”
Alex pursed her lips and smiled, "You guessed it right!" ”
The vendor smiled innocently, took out a large ball of clay from the wooden barrel next to him, and began to pinch the clay figurines in the same way as Cao Cao and Alex.
After a moment, "That's it! The vendor laughed.
Alex immediately took the clay figurine from the vendor's hand and looked at it with a look of surprise.
These two little clay figures are like Cao Cao and Alex, who have been reduced dozens of times, vividly.
"It's incredible!" Alex exclaimed.
"The two generals are really a natural pair! Hehe! "The vendors are very honest and authentic.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and laughed.
Alex couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao beside her, her delicate face was slightly red, and there was a hint of a different taste in her beautiful eyes.
Back at the office, Cao Cao stopped Alex, who was about to leave.
Alex looked at Cao Cao who was slowly walking towards her in surprise, and her heart pounded for no reason.
Cao Cao pointed to the clay figure in Alex's hand, "I said, you have to give this back to me!" ”
Alex was stunned for a moment, her delicate face turned slightly red, she snorted, and said confidently: "This is what I bought, of course it's mine!" With that, he ran away with his two guards.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked Dian Wei on the side very uncertainly: "Dian Wei, didn't you pay?" ”
Dian Wei said: "Of course I paid it!" ”
Cao Cao turned his head to look at Alex's back and smiled.
A few days later, the proposal put forward by the Great Wei Empire received a positive response from the Roman Empire and the Jin Empire, after all, they did not want to expend a lot of manpower and material resources in order to prepare for a possible war.
The main armies of the three sides retreated two hundred miles each, leaving only 100,000 troops on the border.
The government and opposition of the three empires couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Empress Silan of the Jin Kingdom immediately began to reform the imperial court and local government to make it more efficient, and at the same time, the Jin State began to comprehensively reorganize and train the army, which is undoubtedly a great advantage, the semi-nomadic and semi-feudal Jin State, in addition to the military strength, can be said to be a soldier of the whole people, even if the loss of the country's population is large, can be enriched by capturing other barbarians.
On the other hand, Rome, the overlord of the West, also strengthened the local garrison, and at the same time adjusted the layout of the regular army of the Empire, the focus was of course on the Eastern Front, but the Northern Front and the defense line of Wright Province were also strengthened!
The Romans were secretly training armies for the royal family of Jerusalem, and it was self-evident that the soldiers of these armies were basically from the thirteen eastern provinces and had Jerusalem blood.
As the Wei army continued to strengthen the military industry and cantonment in Assyria and the Western Regions, as well as the outposts of the navy, it was foreseeable that a decisive naval battle with the Romans was inevitable.
The Wei Empire continued to increase the smuggling trade with an official background to the Jin State and Rome, and at the same time actively explored the markets of the surrounding protectorates and helped them develop their economies, which was necessary, because only the economic strength of these countries was enough to provide a market for the Great Wei Empire, not to mention that the Great Wei Empire could also benefit from it while helping them develop their economy, such as the mining of mines, from which the Great Wei Empire could obtain a large amount of cheap ore.
Green Ridge Fortress.
"Gongda, how long do you think this peace can last?" Cao Cao stood on the majestic gate tower of the Green Ridge Fortress and looked at the sky in the distance and asked.
Xun You and Dian Wei were separated from Cao Cao.
Xun You shook his head, "It's hard to say!" But what is certain is that none of the three of us will have the will to start a big war in the short term! ”
Cao Cao nodded, "I have decided to leave for Beijing tomorrow!" ”
Early the next morning, Cao Cao left the fortress under the escort of the iron wall guards, and at the same time, the garrisons of Yongzhou, Luoyang, and Xiliang, as well as the fifth, 121st, and 122nd armies, had also set off to return to Chang'an.
The current arrangement of the Wei army is that the second, fourth, and western regions legions defend the defense line of Luojia Mountain, the seventh legion is at the Khorezm fortress, the first, sixth, eighth, and Xianbei legions are on the Assyrian line, and the Xiongnu legion is transferred back to the Western Regions Changshi Mansion as a reserve.
The Third Army Corps and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were stationed in the Northern Protectorate, and the Fifth Army, the 121st Army Corps, and the 122nd Army Corps would be used as strategic reserves in Chang'an.
The Western Regions Coalition Army and the Rest Servant Army returned to their respective stations.
Most of the main forces of the Wei army were pressed on the border with Jin and Rome, and the situation was similar for the other side.
However, the three sides have no intention of starting a major war for the time being, and the situation is somewhat similar to the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the latter part of World War II.
When Cao Cao returned to Chang'an, it was already early autumn.
Cao Cao lay comfortably on the rocking chair in the dormitory with his eyes closed, and a group of wives sat around, like flowers, beautiful. The women whispered, laughing from time to time, and their beautiful eyes wrapped around Cao Cao's body.
A large group of children were playing in the distance, and the most ferocious one was the child Wang Cao Le, like a little bandit.
Cao Cao opened his eyes and scooped up the nearest Mihuan, and Mihuan couldn't help but scream. Cao Cao hugged Mihuan's slender waist and kissed his red lips, and teased: "What's it called?" I'm not a bandit! ”
The girls laughed.
Mihuan pursed his seductive red lips and said angrily: "Your Majesty is sometimes more of a bandit than a bandit!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, pinched Mihuan's smooth chin, and said angrily: "Say so, beg for a beating!" ”
Mihuan wrinkled the good-looking Qiong's nose, glanced at the snickering sisters, and said very aggrievedly: "You know how to bully others!" ”
Diao Chan pursed her lips and smiled, and teased: "Sister Huan said this, but she was actually very happy in her heart!" ”
The women chuckled.
Mi Huan blushed and argued that it was not.
The women laughed even louder.
Mihuan was ashamed of himself.
Cao Cao took Mihuan into his arms, acted like a hen to protect the chicks, and said to the girls seriously: "Don't bully Xiaohuan'er!" ”
The time was just right, and Cao Cao's heart was rarely relaxed.
A few days later, in the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing these days?" Xun Yu asked with a smile.
Cao Cao stretched his waist and said with emotion: "It's so comfortable! I don't even want to move! ”
Everyone smiled, and Xun Yu said half-jokingly: "If Your Majesty really doesn't move, I'm afraid that the people of the world will be panicked!" ”
Cao Cao laughed, "Wen Ruo, you don't need to find a way to remind me!" I'm just talking! Ay! The so-called 'people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes', and people can't help themselves in the throne! ”
Everyone laughed.
Cao Cao waved his hand, "Okay! No more gossiping! Let's get down to business! ”
Chen Gongyu reported: "Your Majesty, there has been a major flood in Yangzhou recently, and the imperial court is in urgent need of rescue!" ”
"Flood!" Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, "What's the situation?" ”
"It's serious! The three counties of Yangzhou have been affected! Thousands of people have been killed and injured, and the number of displaced people is estimated to be more than 100,000! Nearly half of the fertile land has been harvested! Although the local prefectures, counties and counties have launched disaster relief, it is a drop in the bucket! ”
Cao Cao frowned and said to Chen Gong: "The cabinet is directly responsible for this matter!" Gongtai, you go and supervise the disaster relief work! "Yes!"
Cao Cao glanced at everyone and admonished, "The matter of natural disasters is not trivial! I don't want a natural disaster to be followed by a man-made disaster! ”
"Yes!" Everyone is right.
Xun Yu took out a letter and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the flying pigeon biography sent by the two generals Lu Meng and Tai Shici from Nanban!" Then he presented the herald.
Cao Cao read the book and frowned: "Shiwei is really not simple!" The crisis was resolved in this way! ”
Xun Yu couldn't help but nod with emotion, "Yes!" Such a strange trick, we didn't think of it at all! However, this method is not going to last! Shiwei is still lingering after all! ”
Cao Cao nodded, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Tell Lu Meng and Tai Shici, don't be in a hurry, take it step by step!" At the same time, pay attention to the work of the barbarians under the command of Zhao Anshiwei! ”
"Yes!"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "At present, the great war with Jin Kingdom and Rome has come to an end, and a support army can be transferred to Nanban to solve the rebel army of Shiwei as soon as possible!" ”
The crowd nodded.
Cao Cao said: "A considerable number of the soldiers of the 122nd Army came from Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and they were more suitable for the climate of the Nanban, so they ordered the 122nd Army to go south!" Gongda, I heard you say that Jiaozhou has found a way to go south? ”
Xun You replied: "Yes! Closer to the coast, there is only one section of jungle terrain that is more difficult to walk, but this section of the road is not long, only half a day's journey, and it is not difficult to walk after passing through this section! ”
Cao Cao nodded, "Let the Jiaozhou side prepare!" When the Twelfth Army arrived, it went south by this road! At the same time, inform Lu Meng and Tai Shici to be ready to respond! ”
"Yes!"
Cao Cao glanced at everyone, "If nothing else, just retreat!" ”
Everyone saluted Cao Cao, and Yuguan withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.
Cao Cao turned his head to look at Dian Wei, smiled and asked, "Dian Wei, have you ever been back?" (To be continued.) )
