"Guo Jia has seen Cao Gong!"

It was Guo Jia who came, and when he saw Cao Cao, he was not very respectful, so he only bowed his hand slightly.

Cao Cao didn't care at all, and he didn't show the slightest discoloration because Guo Jia was unkempt and a little cold, and personally stepped forward to help Luo Zheng, and said in a loud voice: "Sir, hurry up and be polite!" ”

"Thank you Cao Gong!"

Guo Jia straightened up, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After Cao Cao ordered the armor to give Guo Jia a seat, he returned to the main seat and sat down, persuaded a few glasses of wine, and then asked: "I heard Zhongde say that Mr. is a great talent in the world, and his intelligence is ten times better than Zhongde, I don't know if Mr. can teach me?" ”

Guo Jia was also not modest, and asked, "I don't know what Gong Cao wants to ask?" ”

Cao Cao said: "What is the general trend today? ”

Guo Jia said without thinking: "The society has collapsed, the princes are divided, and the heroes are competing for the deer!" ”

Cao Cao asked again, "In that case, how about the?" ”

Guo Jialuo thought about it, then his eyes showed an astonishing look, and said: "First set the Central Plains, then level Hebei, and then Ansi Liguanzhong, and then coerce the Central Plains and Hebei millions of troops to go south to Jingyang, and finally enter Sichuan, the world can be determined!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, was shocked, and immediately got up and waved to Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Gaojian, I have been taught." ”

Although this short sentence is not a few words, it is like a slap in the face, pointing out a very clear and clear path for Cao Cao's future military strategy, and it is also highly feasible, so that Cao Cao can see great hope.

For any prince who supports the division of troops, a clear and well-defined strategy with high feasibility is absolutely the core of a qiē and is indispensable. Only by developing a clear strategy. in order to achieve one goal after another.

Without a clear strategic goal, we can only hit a wall everywhere like a blind man boxing.

Cao Cao has also been thinking about it lately. Although there are some eyebrows, they have not been straightened out.

Say this to Guo Jia. My heart immediately brightened.

This alone is enough to prove the talent of this person.

Cao Cao never skimped with Corporal Lixian, but that was to divide the object, and Guo Jia only said a few words, and immediately occupied a place in Cao Cao's heart, this is the difference between people.

"Don't dare, Cao Gong is polite!"

Guo Jia put away his wild and uninhibited temperament, got up and gave a salute, and said, "The last school is the last." An dared to be a great gift to Duke Cao. As for what Mr. Cheng Yu said, he was even more upset. Mr. Cheng Yu is a great talent in the world, how can Jia reach it! ”

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao had a big heart, holding Guo Jia in one hand and Cheng Yu in the other, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao doesn't have to be humble, Zhongde is a great talent, and Fengxiao is also a great talent." Come on, come on, and have dinner with Cao Cao first. Political affairs again. ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

And Cao Cao's expression finally made Guo Jia see the difference.

Compared with Yuan Shao's indecisiveness and deep sense of superiority in his bones, Cao Cao is both open-minded and generous. is still better at dealing with the world, and it can hide the true thoughts in his heart very well, which is really ambitious.

Guo Jia originally just planned to come and take a look. If Cao Cao is the same as Yuan Shao, it is not enough to make things happen. I'm ready to find a chance to get out, and I'd rather never be a doctor for the rest of my life. is also unwilling to work for a mediocre talent who is destined to be unable to succeed.

And when I met Cao Cao, my mind changed.

As the saying goes, talents are hard to find, and it is rare to meet the master.

Although Cao Cao may not be the master, he undoubtedly has the potential to be a hero, and this is enough.

Longxian, General Pingdi's Mansion, Luo Zheng convened a group of civil and military discussions.

"Lord, the situation is not good!"

Cheng Ying said: "If Guo Yan and Xu Rong continue to fight like this, Guanzhong will be completely finished." ”

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, rubbed his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Xun Yu also said: "If Guo Yan and Xu Rong are allowed to fight, within a few years, Guanzhong will become a scorched earth, and when Liangzhou is completely stabilized, even if the lord sends troops to take Guanzhong, he will face a problem that is stricter than the current Liangzhou." ”

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "Then what can be done, General Ben can't intervene again!" ”

Xun Yu sighed and couldn't speak anymore.

Jia Xu also said: "Guo Yan has an army of 70,000, and Xu Rong also has an army of more than 20,000. At present, the only thing our army can do is to seize the time to recuperate. ”

Xun Yu sighed: "Xu Rong is better, he knows how to be sympathetic to the people, but Guo Yan only knows how to extort violently, in less than a month, the people of Guanzhong began to flee in a big way, and there are tens of thousands of people who poured into Longxian alone." ”

Cheng Ying said: "General Gao Shun has sent news that the two counties of Beidi and Anding have also contained tens of thousands of displaced people!" ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "This thing must be done well, no matter how many displaced people come, they must be resettled, those who have no food will be given food, and those who have no land will be given land, and these fleeing people must no longer be allowed to starve to death in the wilderness." Since Guo Yan doesn't want the people, he simply sent people to all parts of Guanzhong to spread the news and lead all the fleeing people to Liangzhou! ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord's surname is good, and I will arrange someone to do it later!" ”

Jia Xu also nodded and said: "At present, what Liangzhou lacks the most is the people, why don't the generals set up a few porridge fields in the border area to help the fleeing people, and then let people release the news, so that all the fleeing people can be attracted." ”

Luo Zhengjie said: "Good, Wen He's plan is very good, Wen Ruo, hurry up and arrange it properly!" ”

Xun Yu nodded, this is his business, and Lu Ren will not let him.

Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu and said, "I don't know if the grain and grass can be received." ”

Xun Yu said: "There is no problem for the time being, with the current grain in the treasury, even if hundreds of thousands of people are settled, they can eat until the beginning of spring next year." But if you want to survive until next year's autumn grain goes to the ground, you have to find another way! ”

Luo Zheng asked: "What about Elfang, didn't that guy go to Xichuan, but did he get something?" ”

Xun Yu said: "I got back more than 1,000 loads of grain, barely enough for 10,000 people and half a month's ration!" ”

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "How can such a little food be enough, let that guy think of a way, as long as he can get a lot of grain, General Ben will give him the planting right of gold and jade in the spring next year." It is not impossible to even hand over the salt and iron business to him. ”

Xun Yu immediately objected: "Lord, this can't work, salt and iron are a national plan." How can you let the businessmen run it! ”

Luo Zheng said: "General Ben just said that, give Elfang some motivation!" ”

Xun Yu suddenly realized. Gladly responded.

At the end of October, the Qingzhou yellow scarf revived. The thieves are huge, out of Mount Tai to plunder.

Some rebellious troops entered Yanzhou, attacked the city and plundered the land, and the people were dissatisfied for a while.

Cao Cao hurriedly led the 8,000 soldiers and horses that had just been collected out of Dongping to resist the enemy, how could the Yellow Turban thieves be huge, Cao Cao's initial battle was unfavorable, and some of the soldiers and horses were broken, and he had to lead the people to retreat temporarily. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves who plundered everywhere could not grab grain and grass, so that within a month, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves had no food to eat.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to send people to persuade him to surrender, and hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves surrendered.

When the first winter snow of the first three years of the year came, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves were finally calmed down.

Cao Cao collected all his troops, selected 30,000 young men and women to form the Qingzhou battalion, drilled the military formation, and returned the rest to various places and opened canals and tuntian. Suddenly, the weather was like a thing, and after a few years of difficult mixing, Cao Cao's generation of heroes finally had a trilogy.

At the same time, the battlefield in Hebei gradually calmed down after the winter.

Gongsun Zhan attacked the boundary bridge and did not resist. Many soldiers and horses were broken, and they had to retire to rest and recuperate, and they would fight again in the coming year.

Twenty months.

Yuan Shu attacked in two ways. The land army went out of Hefei Lu'an, and the waterway army attacked Anhui City from Liyang to Zongyang. In mid-December, he broke through Zhishu County, Lujiang County, and Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, was killed in battle. So far, the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang in Jiangbei are owned by Yuan Shu.

In December, after pacifying the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, Zhang Liao returned to Longxian.

Luo Zheng then took the general Gao Shun as the Taishou of stability, led the two counties of Anding and Beidi, and guarded the gateway of Liangzhou; and took Elk Zhu as the Taishou of Jiuquan, leading Jiuquan and Dunhuang two counties; Zhao Yun is the Taishou of Wuwei, leading the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye; Wu Yi is the Taishou of Jincheng, and Zhong Miao is the Taishou of Longxi; Shi Tao is too guarded by the military capital. Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and other generals were ordered to train their soldiers and horses to prepare for battle.

With Xun Yu as the history of the general's mansion, the general consul ruled the government affairs.

With Jia Xu as the military advisor, the staff staff internal and external military; Cheng Ying joined the army and was responsible for collecting intelligence.

There are ten counties in Liangzhou, but there are only six Taishou.

Luo Zheng really can't help it, there are too few people available under his command, and it's just a matter of using military generals to serve as Taishou, even Wu Yi and Lu Zhu, who have always been unpleasant, have to be reluctantly put up, and there is really no one available.

That's it, I barely managed to make up six Taishou.

The rest of them, such as Li Meng and Wang Fang, although they are quite old and loyal, are really difficult to resist.

Yan Xing and Zhang Liao are both wise and brave, but Zhang Liao has never had any experience in dealing with the military and political affairs of a county, Yan Xing is too young, and he has to hone for a few more years before he can take on a big responsibility, and the only ones who can satisfy Luo Zheng are Zhong Xuan and Shi Tao.

These two people are indeed rare talents, and they are more than enough to guard any county.

With no one to use, Luo Zheng was under great pressure, so he ordered Xun Yu to be in charge of building the academy, trying to collect all kinds of books, opening the school widely, and even selecting sensitive and good scholars to provide food and clothing to send them to the school to study.

Some scholars who were captured from the Central Plains to Liangzhou and have been idle at home so far were ordered to teach in the school, but if they did not comply, they were all arrested and sent to the dung-soaked kiln for three days, and they had to grit their teeth and succumb to Luo Zheng's vicious methods.

The literati of the Han Dynasty may not be afraid of death, but there are no who are not afraid of this kind of poisoning.

After being immersed in the dung kiln for three days, it was really worse than death, and it was more painful than death. Besides, he only went to the academy to teach, and he didn't work for Luo Zheng's butcher, after someone set an example, the literati who were arrested immediately changed their position.

When the first year of Jian'an arrived, all the princes of the world died down and quit their troops to rest.

Liangzhou, Longxian, General Pingdi's Mansion.

Luo Zheng convened a group of civil and military personnel to hold an annual meeting to discuss the military and political strategies of a higher level.

"How's the academy doing?"

Luo Zheng has been worried about this matter recently, and when the military discussion was about to end, he asked again.

Cheng Ying, who was in charge of this matter, hurriedly said: "Except for the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang, the construction of the Confucius and Mencius Academies in the other eight counties and county governments is almost complete, and students can be recruited as long as the gentleman sent by the lord is in place." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "Keep an eye on this matter, don't relax." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Ying bowed down.

At this moment, a small official hurried in.

bowed to Luo Zheng and everyone first, and then ran to Cheng Ying's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Cheng Ying asked a few more words, then waved his hand to let the little official retreat, and said to Luo Zheng: "Lord, our army has just sent an urgent report from Xihai, and the brother neighbor department and the wolf department have already stopped their troops and recuperated, and they have returned to various places." ”

"Hmm, the Qiang people don't fight?"

Luo Zheng's expression moved, and he immediately felt a little moved.

Jia Xu was also in good spirits, and said: "My lord, the brother's neighboring department and the wolf department have been fighting for more than a year, and they have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Luo Zheng asked Cheng Ying, "What is the strength of the two departments now?" ”

Cheng Ying replied: "Originally, after dividing up the most powerful burning department, the two divisions each had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but after more than a year of fighting, both of them suffered heavy casualties, and now the two divisions have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Luo Zheng said: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in each of the two divisions, so there is really no need to worry. After waiting for more than a year, the time is finally ripe for our army to conquer Qiangyuan in the west, seize the time to reorganize the army, and use troops against Xiqiang at the beginning of spring. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone gave up their orders in unison, and then got up and retreated.

Luo Zheng left Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Cheng Ying alone to discuss the use of troops against Xiqiang in Kaichun. (To be continued......) R1292
