Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an City, Yongzhou, accumulated his strength.

The battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the Youzhou area continues; Tao Qian's army in the border area of Yanzhou and Xuzhou has begun to advance into the interior of Yanzhou.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had a bit of a posture of "strategizing in the account and winning thousands of miles away".

It's just that although Dong Zhuo has already exerted his influence, as for how things develop, it depends on how the people involved in it fall.

Dong Zhuo sighed lightly in his heart, "Alas, the situation is changing too fast, and it's too late to deal with it." ”

Whether it is Youzhou or Yanzhou, the reason why Dong Zhuo did this, that's why!

It's not because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are too powerful.

Don't make any trouble for them, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao develop, he will be the one who is in trouble.

Dong Zhuo rubbed his brows, and thought about it in his heart, the whip in Youzhou is beyond the reach of the whip, so he can only see what the follow-up news looks like, and as for the Yanzhou area, it can be completely operated.

When Tao Qian and Cao Cao fight, if Tao Qian can defeat Cao Cao, then he doesn't mind sending troops to stab Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao can defeat Tao Qian, then ......

I will choose to sneak attack if I am decisive.

The mobilization of the army is not so easy, there are many places that need to be planned, Dong Zhuo does not believe that after Cao Cao enters Xuzhou, he will attack Yanzhou by himself, and Cao Cao will be able to guard against it.

If it develops in this direction, the land of Yanzhou is also in the bag!

Dong Zhuo swept his beard, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

Yanzhou

At this time, Cao Cao was in high spirits, because after he defeated Yuan, he made an inventory and found that his strength had increased greatly.

The co-opted Yellow Turban Thieves, no, now it should be called the "Qingzhou Army", and there are as many as 100,000 people who can fight.

The only problem that plagued Cao Cao now was food, but the food problem was not only faced by Cao Cao alone, most of the warlords were relatively short of food.

"Wen Ruo, how is the matter of Tuntian, the land of Yanzhou, going?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu who was looking down and said slowly.

When Xun Yu heard this, he responded: "Back to the Ming Dynasty, the matter of Tuntian in Yanzhou is going very smoothly, and after the people in Yanzhou were ravaged by the Yellow Turban thieves, the people are at peace and have no rejection of the matter of Tuntian. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice, "What happened to the big family in the land of Yanzhou?" ”

Xun Yu paused, and said softly: "The Shi family in the land of Yanzhou is quite cooperative, and there is no big problem. ”

"Oh?"

"That's good."

Cao Cao's mouth should be so good, but in his heart is a different thought, this big family in Yanzhou has become so interesting?

Is it because of Lu Bu's house?

The reason why Cao Cao thought of Lü Bu was because Dong Zhuo was hindered by the local family when he implemented the tuntian system in the Yongzhou area, so Dong Zhuo sent Lü Bu.

And Lu Bu ......

Needless to say, Lu Bu came out of the horse, and Dong Zhuo supported him, so it was naturally a burst of indiscriminate killing.

The local families have become extremely honest after being educated by Lu Bu, and at the same time, of course, Lu Bu will not just teach them a lesson, and make a lot of money.

The situation in the land of Yongzhou spread to Yanzhou, which caused the families in the land of Yanzhou to become respectful when they heard that Cao Cao was going to implement the tuntian system.

The big clans in the land of Yanzhou were afraid that Cao Cao would be like Dong Zhuo and threaten with military strength, if that was the case, it would be better to cooperate honestly.

After all, "those who know the times are handsome", and the family that can exist for a long time naturally understands the truth that heroes do not suffer immediate losses.

Cao Cao wanted to understand the reason, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity.

Because......

He really has the idea of opening a family knife that he can't take away.

These local wealthy families, after generations of accumulation, have countless money and food in their families, and they are all treasures in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Ming Gong."

At this time, Xun Yu at the head of the next interrupted Cao Cao's train of thought, "Duke Ming, the strategy of Tuntian can indeed solve the problem of grain and grass, but this silver money is ......."

Cao Cao understood what Xun Yu meant when he heard this, and he frowned.

Grain and grass are a problem.

Tuntian is for long-term benefits, but in the short term, it is necessary to use silver money to buy, although Xun Yu has outstanding ability, but Qiao Woman can cook without rice.

No money!

It's a tough thing to do.

Do I want to follow Dong Zhuo's example? Recoinage?

It doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Dong Zhuo's house is now stealing a high position, and he is nominally the prime minister of the dynasty, and it makes sense that he can implement the new currency.

I only have the land of Yanzhou now, if I issue new coins and I am caught by Dong Zhuo's house, I will definitely say that I Cao someone has a heart of disobedience.

Previously, Dong Zhuo issued an edict saying that Cao Cao was a traitor, but it was only a blow in words and prestige.

What is particular about being a teacher is famous.

But if Cao Cao really minted a new coin, it would be too inverted and given a handle.

You say you don't want to rebel?

Not a rebellion?

So what do you do with new money?

Making coins is the right of the state, even if you are a Yanzhou pastor, if you act like this, is it to make Yanzhou a country within a country?

If this is the case, it will confirm Cao Cao's remarks of betrayal, and Cao Cao's political wisdom will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

If you can't follow Dong Zhuo, you can only find another way.

Similar to Dong Zhuo?!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Cao Cao's mind.

Wonderful!

Cao Cao instantly had an idea in his heart.

Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, there is a way that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, Dong Zhuo is really a good person!

Cao Cao had a plan, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Xun Yu, who was at the bottom, saw Cao Cao's expression and knew that Cao Cao had a way, "Ming Gong has a countermeasure?" ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Wen Ruo doesn't have to worry, I already have a countermeasure for this money." "Well, though, this matter still needs to be planned."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao had sold Guanzi, so naturally it was not easy to continue to ask, since Ming Gong said that there was a way, it should not be untargeted.

After Xun Yu and Cao Cao discussed other matters, they left with doubts in their hearts.

After Xun Yu left, Cao Cao had a smile on his face and muttered, "Dong Zhuo is a good person." ”

"If it weren't for him, how would I have thought of this solution?"

"Not bad, not bad."

"But this matter should be more secretive, there are lessons from Dong Zhuo's past, be careful, you must do it with people close to you."

After Cao Cao wandered left and right in the hall for a while, he secretly said: "Without further ado, Xuzhou Tao Qian's actions will not be slow, although Zixiao has been sent to go, but he is always a little uneasy." ”

"Since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first; The matter of this money should be put on the agenda. ”

Cao Cao stopped wandering, shouted, and ordered, "Come on, go and invite Zilian to come." ”

Cao Cao's call for Zilian was his younger brother Cao Hong.

The attendants listened to Cao Cao's order and immediately went to invite Cao Hong to Cao Cao's place.

Soon after, a muscular man with armor and a full beard came to Cao Cao's place.

This person's appearance is somewhat similar to Cao Cao, except that his full beard looks a little more mature than Cao Cao.
