He stood up for his judgment!

That kind of persistence is something that everyone is moved by, and even Liu Xie can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart every time he sees his persistence.

If I could be as firm as him, I wouldn't be so passive now.

He had many chances, but determined... After all, it's still a little worse.

However, it was because of Zaoyi's firmness that he persevered to the end in the battle of Yecheng.

If he didn't know Zao Yi so well, he would definitely not disobey Jia Xu's ideas and instructions, and he would not let Cao Mengde give him this opportunity.

He was able to get those benefits on the battlefield in Jizhou in the end, and Liu Xie was happy to thank that Zaoyi.

And the same is true of Zao Yi himself.

He faced Xun Yu the same as Cao Cao, but kept repeating what he meant.

"Now is a troubled time, if you want to find a way out of this world, you can't be as determined as before.

If you want to develop rapidly, you must make your foundation solid, and you must do it on a large scale and with ruthless means.

Everything else is just a minor issue.

As long as we grasp the most important grain and grass, then we have a chance to win.

With food, we have hope.

As for the complaints of the people, it doesn't matter, we can appease them in other ways! ”

"Furthermore, in the long run, as long as Cao Gong's power becomes stronger, then the people will naturally learn to be stable and become stable.

After all, compared to how much food they pay, a stable place to get food is also what they need and like.

Only by surviving can they have more hope.

And we just have to give them that hope...."

Zao only knows very well that in this era, whether it is an official or any other person in a higher position.

Those people are not living lives, they are just resources in their own hands.

Therefore, how to make better use of these resources is the most important thing.

Therefore, Liu Xie also once sighed very seriously and seriously, this jujube is definitely not a good person, but he is definitely a ruthless person who is not inferior to Cheng Yu....

Back then, Qin didn't follow the national policy of "urgent agriculture and strengthening the country first", but it's a pity that they relied on this method to unify, but they forgot to change the channel.

In the end, it will be like this, and so will it be defeated.

And Zaoyi's continuous persistence finally made him have more and more supporters behind him, and at the same time, another wonderful and glamorous person also stood up.

That is, in the battle of Xiahou Xuansheng, he became famous and almost killed Han Hao, the rising star of the Cao family, who was the main general of Xiahou Xuan.

He was moved by Zao's idea, and then began to support Zaoyi.

At the same time, his support also moved Xiahoudun, the general who began to gradually take over logistics, and let Xiahoudun influence Cao Cao.

In the end, he succeeded in convincing Cao Mengde to let the matter begin.

And the pilot project that began in the first year of Jian'an finally proved that Zaoyi's theory was correct, and when he persisted to a certain point, even God would not do anything, and would help him!

In the first year, Yuzhou, which was plagued by disasters, had a rare appearance of beautiful wind and sunshine, abundant rain, and smooth wind and rain...

That year, Xuchang and other places had a bumper harvest!

For a while, Cao Mengde made a lot of money, so that he immediately forgot all the problems, and made him forget how many lives were lost here....

Then, this approach was successfully rolled out everywhere.

That year, Liu Xie had just gained a foothold in Chang'an, and he didn't know what was going on in the Central Plains.

I'm even thinking about whether to go to Huainan for a visit...

By the time his gaze returned, Cao Mengde had already accomplished his greatest benefit.

And many things in the back made Liu Xie feel mixed feelings.

The series of commotion that dazzled him made Liu Xie fully understand that he and those under his command could not play this kind of policy.

Or in today's world, there are few people who can play these things like Cao Mengde.

At the same time, in the process, as those people say, a series of problems have arisen.

But they all solved it one by one.

Cao Mengde reused Ren Jun, so that he not only went to the farm, but also was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and when the people could not bear this heavy pressure and began to flee.

Zao Yi and his successors did not disappoint Cao Mengde and Zao Yi, and they finally began to recruit new people freely.

Calm the mood of the people and use truly non-coercive means to ease the contradictions.

But it's not because they're backing down, it's because they're just surrounding them.

Cao Mengde, Zao Yi and others did not let these fleeing people leave this county, and then did not take the initiative to send troops to exterminate them.

Just watch, watch how they live.

As a result, those of them who fled finally understood one thing, on this one-third of an acre of land, if they didn't follow Cao Mengde to farm, they would not be able to survive.

Cao Mengde and his soldiers and horses watched, and those who had benefited from the original did not dare to have too much contact with them.

Nature could not give them a steady stream of food and grass.

But without the support of those people, how could they survive?

Cultivating farmland in the mountains and forests is not as simple as it sounds, and they don't cultivate below, but end up working on top for their own thankless farming.

In the end, what you get is not as good as the following, isn't this pure stupidity?

They found that they had nothing, no land of their own, not enough food, not even tools and cattle to plough the wasteland.

On top of that, they can't even do things to help farmers, such as building water conservancy.

In the end, the people who fled finally found that they had no chance to resist anymore.

Because they can't even do it, they don't have weapons and armor, they don't have a way to mine iron ore, and they can't stand outside for a long time.

Even if he wanted to snatch the grain and grass, he couldn't grab it.

In the end, the other party will find reasons and excuses to be branded....

There was no way, in the end, they could only return to Cao Mengde's side, and then directly created a scene for Cao Mengde.

That is, under the tuntian, the people's hearts are happy!

That's it, Liu Xie can't help it.

After all, in the little place under his rule, it is still contained?

This group of people drilled into the mountain directly to Qinling, and they could even run to Bashu and Hanzhong, but he couldn't catch up.

After entering Qinling and Taihang, what other ways can he solve it?

also let them take the initiative to stand up, and let them understand that this is the best choice under their own rule.

This is all pure nonsense!

So Liu Xie can't do this kind of thing, but Cao Mengde can do it, his Yuzhou, his Central Plains have unique benefits and geographical advantages.

Similarly, it is from these things that Liu Xie understands better why Cao Mengde in history can have such great achievements.

Because his two swords are the key to his success.

One is his tuntian, and the other is his historical self.

Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

This sharp sword gave Cao Mengde the possibility to compete with all the other local princes for talents.

He can make those who went to Jizhou but were not satisfied rush back to his side.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xin Bi, Dong Zhao, etc....

Liu Xie can't deny that many of these people came back on their own initiative, but there are also many people who need a reasonable reason to be willing to change their owners.

And Cao Mengde's "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" gave them this reason.

It can also make those scholars who have taken refuge in exile in Jingzhou and even Xichuan and Hanzhong rush to return to their side.

In history, Du Bohou, Zhao Yan, Pei Qian, Zheng Hun, He Qia, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Huan Jie, etc.

Of course, the talents of the Central Plains and Xuzhou are competing for attachment, which is their best choice.

That Chen Jiao, Xu Xuan, Xu Yi, He Kui, etc....

The talents of these people may not be as good as Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others, but they also have good talents, and they have left a strong mark on the Cao family and even history.

This time, although Liu Xie couldn't take away Xun Yu Xunyou and Guo Jia Chengyu and others, he still snatched a lot of talents from Cao Mengde's hands.

For example, on his current trip to Jingzhou, he used his identity to get back the Heqia Huan Rank, as well as Zheng Hun, Huaxin Wang Lang and his Du Hedong, who followed him before...

During the trip to Xuzhou and the battle of Huainan, he also got a lot of available people, although those people have not yet fully grown, but they only need to be given enough time.

They can surprise themselves with a big surprise.

Liu Xie has never forgotten and given up on this.

In the same way, blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although they could not make those warlords directly bow to them, could also deter them.

While making them dare not act rashly, it also gave them the right opportunity to bow down directly.

Ma Teng Han Sui in the west, Xuzhou in the east, such as Chen Deng and Zang Ba and so on.

The attachment of these people also made Cao Mengde's power grow rapidly.

This time, Liu Xie also grabbed a part of the benefits, and Cao Mengde relied on the orders and exchanges he gave him to take down the family Haoqiang in Xuzhou.

But he also used his identity to eat Ma Teng step by step, and even began to oppress many forces in Han Sui and Liangzhou.

That's the benefit of being who you are.

Liu Xie has taken this identity to the extreme.

But in Tuntian, Liu Xie still saw the gap between the two sides.

Cao Mengde's tuntian gave him a large amount of grain and grass, and second, he used this matter to directly open up a large number of wasteland and build water conservancy, clean up the mess in the Central Plains again, and began to expand.

Although this is a very large loss, it gives the Cao clan's power a more long-term plan and possibility, and at the same time, it also makes their power steadily increase.

The most important thing is that after more than ten years of tossing, he finally got the people to acquiesce to one thing.

That is, his policy is already a relatively stable and loose policy for himself.

Arguably, they couldn't have a better choice.

In this damn troubled world, they can have this kind of policy and have fun themselves, and it would be very rude to say anything else.

This idea has been ingrained in the minds of those people.

They were slowly beginning to be satisfied with such an environment in the troubled times, and at the same time, they gave up and continued to flee.

In this way, Liu Xie's hopes were dashed again and again, even though he used many methods, he made the Cao family appear in a vacuum on the border.

For example, the people of Hongnong and Hanoi fled in large numbers to the land of Sanfu and Hedong.

But there is no way to go deeper.

Even if Liu Xie has the ability to splash the sky, even if Liu Xie and the civil officials under his command wear out their mouths, there is no way.

This is not how powerful Liu Xie is, because this cannot change the difference in strength between the two sides.

In history, Liu Bei and Sun Quan actually did this, especially Sun Quan did exceptionally well.

This guy directly emptied Huainan.

In the end, Deng Ai went over in person, and Sun Quan was gone, which changed.

In Huainan back then, that almost made Sun Quan a vacant land.

Cao Mengde migrated hundreds of thousands of people, and finally cheapened him Jiangdong.

And Liu Xie has not yet reached the level of Sun Quan, so naturally it is not as good as the influence that Sun Quan can cause.

And it was these things that made Liu Xie fully understand the words he said when he read Wei Shu.

This is an era of great chaos in the world, at this time, the princes are rising, and people with hearts are emerging in an endless stream.

I don't know how many forces have risen rapidly, and the wonderful and glamorous people are amazed.

But in the end, they all set themselves on a path and a plan that didn't have enough to support them.

This is the so-called "no end to life".

This is also why there is a saying in the history books that "invincible and self-defeating".

You must know that in the war that just ended, the Jizhou of Yuan Shao, the lord of Hebei, could reach 300,000 soldiers alone.

The population is in the millions or even tens of millions.

And this Black Mountain thief, a mere thief force, has a population of one million!

Known as a million black mountain thieves, known as the world's first thief.

But they all failed in the end, and they only saw the fortune before, saw the fight on the battlefield, and saw their wrong operation.

But when Liu Xie saw that Cao Mengde once again gathered the rations of more than 100,000 people to fight at the fastest speed.

He finally understood why this Cao Mengde dared to fight with Yuan Shao, and also knew why Zhang Yan would throw himself into Cao Mengde's command at a critical moment in history.

Because they don't have any spectacular operations in this area.

They have been able to get to this point only by real luck and their own heritage.

This may also be why they choose to be as flexible as they are in the troubled times, but they just keep using the old methods.

Even... If you don't have enough food, you have to eat mulberries ...
