Jixian County, the government office.

Cao Cao's military generals were gathering together, and at this time, Jia Xu had temporarily replaced Guo Jia's position and temporarily served as Cao Cao's military advisor.

After Su Ming told Cao Cao that Guo Jia's physical condition was not good and he was not suitable for long-term fatigue in the bitter cold environment of the grassland.

Cao Cao began to arrange as few jobs for Guo Jia as possible, not only that, but he also arranged two personal doctors for Guo Jia.

One of these two doctors is in charge of the night and the other is in charge of the day, in short, to ensure that Guo Jia will not have any accidents.

Here, Cao Cao is taking the military generals of Wenchen to discuss how to beat the Wuhuan people in the palace.

At this time, I saw Xu Chu walking in from outside and came to Cao Cao to report: "Lord, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Cao Cao frowned, thinking to himself, what about his civil ministers and military generals in front of him? Who will look for themselves at this time?

"Who's looking for me?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Cao Cao pondered, or someone important would not have disappeared first. Don't you see yourself in a meeting? How can you see any messy people?

Xu Chu shook his head and replied, "I also know, it's a group of girls wearing red and green, saying that they are here to donate some military expenses to us." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chuleng paused for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Look at the girl who looks like she is in the Qinglou." ”

A group of girls in the Qinglou came to raise funds for the army?

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be moved to tears, and only heard him sigh with emotion: "The woman in the Qinglou is still worried about the country, how can our army not win this battle?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Jia Xu also said: "In this way, it can show that the prime minister has won the hearts of the people." The people's hearts are vested, and this little Wuhuan will not be able to produce any chaos. ”

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and ordered: "Zhongkang, quickly invite those girls in, and the prime minister will personally receive them." ”

You have to say that under normal circumstances, these Qinglou women have never had the opportunity to meet Cao Cao in this life.

The difference in identity is too big, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is the white cloud in the sky. These Qinglou women are the mud in the sewer.

There will be no intersection between the two in this life.

And now, Cao Cao wants to meet these Qinglou women in person.

Xu Chu took Cao Cao's order, came to the outside of the mansion, and said to the girls in the Qinglou who were waiting outside the mansion: "Ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister is very grateful to you, and wants to invite you in and personally express his gratitude to you." ”

Hearing Xu Chu's words, these Qinglou girls were also very moved.

In their opinion, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was able to accept their money without disliking them, and they were very moved.

What's more, Cao Cao is going to meet them now, and he has to thank them.

After many Qinglou girls were stunned for a long time, the old bustard stood up and said: "General, we Qinglou women don't know any big truths. ”

"But we know that when Liu Yu was in charge of Youzhou, we were bullied by the Wuhuan people. When Yuan Shao was in charge of Youzhou, we were still bullied by the Wuhuan people. Only the prime minister is willing to support us poor people. ”

"Now, Wuhuan is coming, and we weak women can't contribute to the country, so we can only donate this money, which can be regarded as doing our part."

"As for the prime minister, it's gone! The government is heavy, and it is not good for filthy women like us to trespass. When I saw the prime minister, I also stained the prime minister's eyes. ”

After saying this, the old bustard stuffed the wooden basin in his hand into Xu Chu's arms, and then took the girls to prepare to leave.

Seeing that the bustard was leaving with the girls, Xu Chu stretched out his hand and wanted to pull, but he was holding a wooden basin in his arms.

Besides, men and women are not kissed, although these are Qinglou girls, but these Qinglou girls are not bad.

Xu Chu was not embarrassed to reach out to pull them, so he had no choice but to hold the wooden basin in his arms, stomped his feet and shouted, "Don't go!" Don't go! If you leave, I won't be able to explain to the prime minister! ”

Xu Chu didn't shout, but when he shouted, the girls ran faster.

These girls insisted on leaving, and Xu Chu really had no choice, so he had to hold the wooden basin to see Cao Cao.

Xu Chu came to Cao Cao and put the wooden basin in front of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao lifted the red cloth covering the wooden basin.

After lifting the red cloth, Cao Cao saw that most of the wooden basins were copper coins, and there were also some broken gold beans.

In addition, the most are gold and silver jewelry, some jade jewelry and the like.

Seeing these things, Cao Cao was very moved in his heart, he never expected that at this time, the first to raise donations were actually these Qinglou women.

Cao Cao glanced at Xu Chu and said angrily: "What about people? ”

"How do you bring things, people?"

Xu Chu told Cao Cao what the old bustard had just said outside the mansion.

"No!"

"They are not filthy people, they are my sisters and relatives of Cao Mengde." Cao Cao said very movingly.

Speaking of emotion, Cao Cao actually shed tears.

Su Ming watched below, thinking, Cao Cao let Liu Bei possess him?

"Lord, the people's hearts have been gained, and great things can be accomplished."

"You should be happy! What are you crying about? Guo Jia persuaded on the side.

Cao Cao wiped his tears and said earnestly: "I, Cao Mengde, am ashamed of the people!" ”

"The people of Youzhou have been suffering from Wuhuan for a long time, and I, Cao Mengde, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, once wanted to talk to Wuhuan people."

"If I talk to Wuhuan people, what kind of face do I Cao Mengde have, facing the people of Youzhou."

"Today, I, Cao Mengde, swear here, that from now on, I, Cao Mengde, will be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty for one day, and when my Han faces foreign races, I will not negotiate peace, and I will not show weakness."

"If a foreign race kills one of my Han people, I, Cao Mengde, will definitely return it a hundredfold."

At this time, Cao Cao was well aware of the benefits of winning the hearts of the people.

He also understood why Liu Bei was so down, but those people followed him willingly.

At this time, Cao Cao secretly said in his heart: "He Liu Xuande can win the hearts of the people, and I, Cao Mengde, can also win the hearts of the people." ”

In addition, Cao Cao still thinks in his heart, thanks to Wu'er Chongguang for killing Lou Ban and the Wuhuan Mission, I have made up my mind to start a war with Wuhuan.

Otherwise, if I really want to negotiate peace with Wu Huan, I, Cao Cao, will inevitably bear the infamy of the ages and be spurned by the people.

After calming down his emotions, Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu: "You take out thirty silk horses from the treasury and send them to the Qinglou in person." He said, "It was I, Cao Mengde, who gave it to the girls." ”

The money donated by these girls in Qinglou is not much, and it is actually a drop in the bucket for the entire army.

However, a spark can start a prairie fire.

When the Qinglou girl raised donations, the news of Prime Minister Cao Cheng's reward spread.

For a time, fundraising was launched throughout Youzhou.

After all, the girls in the Qinglou have all donated, if they don't donate, wouldn't they even be as good as the girls in the Qinglou?

Especially those businessmen who were forcibly bought and sold by the Wuhuan people, their fundraising solved a large amount of military expenses for Cao Cao.
