Cao Hong was training in the camp, but suddenly got Cao Cao's summons and rushed over non-stop, still thinking about what was going on.

Could it be that the brother is ready to let himself lead the troops into battle?

Cao Hong is younger than Cao Cao, because he has been in the army for a long time, he deliberately has a big beard, and he looks mighty.

Among those who have some kinship with Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun are the most valued by Cao Cao.

Now Cao Ren has led the army to Taishan County, preparing for an invasion from Tao Qian in Xuzhou.

Cao Hong followed Cao Cao's side, and Cao Ren was able to lead the troops outside, which made Cao Hong's heart itch, which was why Cao Hong was extremely excited to see Cao Cao.

"Zilian, can you still be handy in the army now?" Cao Cao smiled and looked at his younger brother Cao Hong, and pulled up his routine.

Cao Hong pulled the corners of his mouth and raised his voice: "Brother is worry-free, there is no problem with the sons in the army." "The elder brother summoned the younger brother to come, but he wants to send troops and ask the younger brother to lead the troops to the battle?"

Cao Cao laughed and shook his head, "It's not, Yanzhou is still stable now, and the war in Taishan County is filial piety, so I can rest assured." ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he was slightly disappointed in his heart, and asked, "Then the elder brother summoned his brother to come and I don't know what the important thing is?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, his eyes swept over the maids serving in the hall, and ordered, "Wait and retreat." ”

"Yes."

The maids in the hall rushed out, and after a while, only Cao Cao and Cao Hong remained in the hall.

When Cao Hong saw Cao Cao act like this, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, and he retreated from everyone, this is a big deal!

At this time, I only heard Cao Cao greet him: "Zilian, sit." ”

Cao Hong bowed and sat down on his knees, waiting for Cao Cao's follow-up.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, as if organizing his words, "Zilian, there is something important for you to do now." ”

Cao Hong responded: "Brother just commands." ”

Cao Cao said softly: "Now that there is a shortage of food and money in the army, this grain and grass has been arranged, but this silver money is quite tricky. ”

Cao Hong's eyes showed doubts, I know about the lack of food and money.

The question is that I am a little brother who leads soldiers, where do you ask me to conjure money and food for you?

This kind of thing shouldn't be asked about Xi Zhicai and Xun Wenruo.

Big brother, is this a sudden illness and rushed to the doctor?

Cao Cao seemed to see Cao Hong's doubts and explained: "The virtuous brother should know Dong Zhuo. ”

Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Cao Hong immediately responded: "Dong Zhuo's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief, Luoyang City was burned by him, if it weren't for him, the court would not be like this." ”

"Ahem, ahem." Cao Cao coughed lightly twice and interrupted Cao Hong, "Brother Xian, what my brother said is that when Dong Zhuo was at the beginning, he was also short of soldiers and food. ”

"But ......" Cao Cao didn't finish his words, and glanced at Cao Hong.

Cao Hong suddenly realized, "What does the eldest brother mean to let the younger brother lead the troops to borrow some silver, grain and grass from the rich families in Yanzhou?" ”

Cao Hong accentuated the word "borrow" once.

"No, no."

Cao Cao shook his head and retorted: "Now that I have only won Yanzhou, I have not yet gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, although I can act like this, but it is always a little unbeautiful." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, "What does that brother mean?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes moved, and he whispered to Cao Hong: "In addition to robbing the rich, Dong Zhuo's family also has a way to get money. ”

"Shhh

Cao Hong instantly understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

"Big brother, is it to let the younger brother rob the tomb?"

As we all know, in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, after the peaceful and prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, the social productive forces were fully utilized, and the economic prosperity made it a common practice at that time.

Thick burial, there must be a lot of gold and silver in that tomb.

Many people think that Cao Cao is the ancestor of tomb robbers, but they don't know that the person who started the warlord tomb robbery is Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo not only robbed the tomb, but also was generous and bold, which can be described as a thief.

After Dong Zhuo's army entered Luoyang, he burned the palace and temple at home, and there was no return within 200 miles, and Lu Bu led the troops to excavate the tombs of the emperors and the tombs of the princes, and collected their treasures.

From the emperor to the minister, no one was spared.

Could it be that this is a lot of debt?

If you have more lice on your body, you are not afraid of biting?

Anyway, everyone was shocked by Dong Zhuo's generosity, but there was no way to take Dong Zhuo but to criticize him verbally and in writing, but it was useless.

Dong Zhuo is still Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo has another idea about tomb robbing, and he can't help it, so he is very helpless.

Wars are fought not only by people, but also by money.

If you don't have money to pay your salary, where can you recruit soldiers?

Who wants to die for you?

Where does that money come from?

Money cannot fall from heaven, nor money can come from heaven, but what about the earth?

There are mines in the ground, but mining is too slow to make money.

What else is there besides mines? O Tomb!

It is precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo thought of robbing the tomb.

Those emperors, that ministers, so many funeral goods are placed there, it is better to take them out and let me use them, otherwise it will be a waste!

It was precisely because Dong Zhuo set this precedent that Cao Cao made up his mind and prepared to organize people to rob the tomb.

After all, the pegs that came out were rotten first, Dong Zhuo had already been this peg, and he could always use Dong Zhuo as a shield.

And as long as this thing is done in a more subtle way, there should be no problem.

Cao Cao's actions naturally can't be as "high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade" as Dong Zhuo, and can only be carried out secretly.

And Dong Zhuo's excavation of the imperial tomb is known to everyone, and Cao Hong naturally knows.

Dong Zhuo's first method of getting money and grain was to rob the rich and dig the tombs.

Since it is not to rob the rich, it is natural to dig the tomb, but digging the tomb is a taboo thing after all, no wonder the eldest brother is so cautious.

At this time, I saw Cao Cao nodding and sighing lightly, "Zilian, this is also a helpless move." ”

"Expedient."

"It's just a matter of equity."

"Now there is no other way but to act like this."

Cao Hong saw that Cao Cao had already made up his mind, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "The younger brother just listens to the elder brother's orders." ”

"It's just a tomb robbery."

"It's just a tomb robbery."

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded, "Brother Wei has already calculated this matter before, and Dong Zhuo got a lot of money from Emperor Wu's mausoleum. ”

"I thought that my brother would see that there must be a lot of burial things in the tomb of King Liang Xiao."

"King Liang Xiao is the son of Emperor Wen and the younger brother of Emperor Jing, he is full of grace in front of him, and the size of his mausoleum is comparable to that of the emperor, and he will be rewarded with his goal!"

"But when you act secretly, my brother will hand over this matter to Zilian."

Cao Hong frowned slightly, King Xiao of Han Liang?

Liu Wu?

But then Cao Hong secretly thought about it and nodded.

After Cao Cao explained to Cao Hong about how to get the money, he sent him out.

After Cao Hong left, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, smiled again, and muttered: "Dong Zhuo is indeed extraordinary. ”

"He's a good guy."

"Whether it's the strategy of tuntian or tomb robbing, there is a place to throw in front, as long as you follow behind it, you can sit back and relax."

"Wonderful!"

"Wonderful!"

"It seems that we have to send more spies to Yongzhou to inquire about the news, and see what new tricks Dong Zhuo's house has played."

"Confucius Yun, threesome, there must be my teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."

"Reasonable!"

"Reasonable!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

“……”

Cao Cao's hearty laughter came from the hall.
