The land of Yingchuan outstanding people, in the past, Nanyang was too shouyin and cultivated for Yingchuan to be too punctual, with Jingxian and promoting Jun as the business, lifting the five senses and Peng Zhang Zhong as the square, and inspecting the gong Cao Zhongxuan, the main book Xun Yu, the main secretary Peng Zhang Li, the thief Cao Peng Du You, the filial piety Xun You, and the official Guo Tu as the officials, with the Guangguo Dynasty.

The Yingchuan talents recommended by Yin Xiu, such as Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu, Xun You, etc., all entered the court as officials.

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "Mr. Wenruo, although Li Min, the inaugurated Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, died in Luoyang, but now Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, is Yuan Shu's performance, and if you want to gain a foothold in Yingchuan, you need to ask Yuan Shu's consent, otherwise it will be difficult to enter Yingchuan." ”

"Zhou Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou who was originally performed last time, has now died in Yuzhou."

Xun Yu said in a condensed voice: "General Cao, whether it is Zhou Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou played by Yuan Shao, or Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, played by Yuan Shu, they are all hypocrites who have not received the edict of the imperial court. ”

"It doesn't matter if they live or die."

"The battle in Luoyang will not last long, once Dong Zhuo retreats to Chang'an and chooses to defend Tongguan, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian will return to Yuzhou and compete for the land of Kanto when they see that it is difficult to succeed in fighting Dong."

"Yuan Shao stole Jizhou, married Yanzhou, and coveted Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu, who had accumulated anger due to the failure to woo Dong, will definitely take the opportunity to go north to compete with Yuan Shao."

"Going north alone is not good for Yuan Shu, if you want to compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu has to find allies."

"Gongsun Zhan, who has a dislike for Yuan Shao, and the Black Mountain thieves in the west of Jizhou may participate in the war!"

"And if Yuan Shao doesn't want to be attacked in Jizhou, he will definitely move the battlefield to the south as much as possible, and Yanzhou will soon become a battlefield for the two Yuan to fight."

"However, Yuan Shu is greedy and tyrannical, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command are from bandits, and they like to plunder without knowing military discipline."

"Whether it is the people of Nanyang or Yuzhou, they are all afraid of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses like tigers and leopards, and they hate them like mandrills."

"Yuan Shu, who has lost the hearts of the people, as long as he is defeated once, he will not be able to stay in this Yuzhou!"

Xun Yu used a stone branch to make a comparison on the ground while analyzing, explaining the situation in Yuzhou to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "Although Yuan Shu is brutal and unkind, the soldiers and horses under his command are brave. The recruits I recruited in Dongwuyang were a group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and it was difficult for me to win if I rashly fought against Yuan Shu. ”

Xun Yu shook his head: "That's not the case!" Yuan Shu went north, and the first to bear the brunt was Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and before Liu Dai was defeated, General Cao did not need to send troops. ”

"In this Dongwuyang, you can fight hard and wait for the opportunity."

"If Liu Dai is defeated, General Cao can take the initiative to ask Yuan Shao to enter Yanzhou, first use the advantages of the city to consume the sharp spirit of Yuan Shu's soldiers, and then concentrate his troops to break Yuan Shu's partial army to raise the morale of new soldiers."

"The longer the time drags on, the more the people of Yanyu Erzhou hate Yuan Shu."

"The attack on Yanzhou failed, and the rear was unstable, Yuan Shu could only choose to retreat temporarily, and at that time, it was the time to fight Yuan Shu for a decisive victory!"

Cao Cao was excited when he heard this: "If Yuan Shu is defeated, then wouldn't I be able to directly enter Yanzhou?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head again: "If Liu Dai does not die, it will be difficult for General Cao to take charge of Yanzhou." It is better to take advantage of Liu Dai's momentum to fight for General Cao's opportunity to develop in Yingchuan. ”

Cao Cao's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished: "Liu Gongshan has an in-law with Ben Chu, and it is indeed difficult to become the master. ”

Liu Dai's death is one reason, but in Cao Cao's heart, there is a more important reason that has not been spoken.

is similar to Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao also looks at Cao Cao's mood as a younger brother.

I want Cao Cao to live well, but I don't want Cao Cao to live better than myself.

Yuan Shao can play Cao Cao as a Taishou, but he will never play Cao Cao as a assassin and a state pastor.

Under Xun Yu's intentional inducement, Cao Cao's gaze gradually tilted towards the land of Yingchuan.

Talking about the excitement, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is my son's room!

Bao Xin, who was on the side, suddenly asked: "Mr. Wenruo, if the two Yuan are fighting, will Liu Bei of Qingzhou also intervene in the dispute?" After all, Liu Bei, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu have now formed an alliance. ”

"Zhou Qiao's death was also caused by Liu Bei and Tao Qian's sudden mobilization of troops in Yuzhou."

Cao Cao also said in a condensed voice: "Liu Bei, I have never been able to see his purpose clearly. It stands to reason that a person who is determined to settle 500,000 hungry people will not be able to form an alliance with someone like Yuan Shu. ”

"At the beginning, he called for support for Qingzhou grain and grass twice, but Liu Bei repeatedly ruined the original good deeds, and his position was too elusive."

"If Liu Bei intervenes in the dispute, will he help Ben Chu or Yuan Shu?"

Xun Yu said in faith: "If there is no accident, no one in Qingzhou will help!" ”

Cao Cao and Bao Xin were taken aback.

"Mr. Wenruo, why is that?" Bao Xin was puzzled.

Xun Yu pointed the branch to the stone representing Luoyang on the ground: "The reason why Liu Bei formed an alliance with the cruel and unkind Yuan Shu and got rid of Zhou Qiao for Yuan Shu is only because Lu Shangshu is still crusading against Dong Zhuo in Luoyang!" ”

"But once Yuan Shu withdraws his troops and returns to Yuzhou to compete with Yuan Shao, it means that Lu Shangshu's army against Dong will become a lone army."

"Giving up the national righteousness of Dong, but competing with Yuan Shao for personal gain, this is a betrayal of the covenant for Liu Bei!"

"General Cao can even make an alliance with Liu Bei, promising that after Liu Bei repels Yuan, he will march to Yingchuan and meet Lu Shangshu in Luoyang."

"In this way, Liu Bei will not only not help Yuan Shu, but will even help General Cao defeat Yuan Shu!"

"Liu Bei will never ignore Lu Shangshu's safety!"

"And General Cao sent troops to meet Lu Shangshu, not only can he get a good name, but he can also form a friendship with Liu Bei in Qingzhou."

"The heroes of the Kanto region, whether it is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, or Gongsun Zan Taoqian and Liu Dai, are all ambitious people, and only Liu Bei is truly implementing the duty of protecting the territory and the people on the pastoral side."

"If General Cao wants to achieve a great cause, he can't attack privately like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and should follow the example of the former Duke of Qi Huan, and serve the Son of Heaven as an order."

"Only by taking advantage of the righteousness of the loyal Han and connecting the loyal and righteous people in the world can we destroy the ambitions of the little people in this world and return this great man to a bright future!"

Xun Yu's words were loud.

Respect the king, and obey the Son of Heaven to order not to obey!

Cao Cao was shocked in his heart.

For a long time, although Cao Cao had the determination to be a capable minister of the world, he encountered troubled times and could not find the direction.

wants to be a Qingliu scholar, but the Qingliu scholar thinks that Cao Cao is a eunuch and is not worthy of common language.

wants to be an honest and capable minister, but his father Cao Song is a big corrupt official, so that he is often criticized for being so honest, why didn't he arrest Cao Song first?

wanted King Qin to ask Dong, but found that King Qin's alliance probably only wanted to make meritorious contributions to themselves and didn't want others to make meritorious contributions, so that they dragged each other back and made Dong Zhuo laugh in vain.

He had been in Dongwuyang for almost a year, and Cao Cao didn't understand what to do with the road ahead.

But now, Xun Yu has given Cao Cao a clear path!

Take advantage of the situation to base yourself on Yingchuan, respect the king, and serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey!

"Mr. Wenruo is talented, please accept Cao's worship!" Cao Cao got up and bowed to Xun Yu: "Although Cao has courage, his wisdom is insufficient. When I met Mr. Wenruo today, it was like a long drought and a rain! Please Mr. help Cao, if he succeeds in the future, Cao will not lose! ”

Xun Yu already had the heart to help, so he immediately did not shirk, and helped Cao Cao to say: "The general and I are both Hanchen, and we have both received the favor of the first emperor. If the general is interested, Yu will help! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

There is the general trend of Xun Yu's planning, and Xun Yu follows, why worry about the great cause?

Cao Cao got Xun Yu and thought again: "Xingyang was defeated, I learned from the pain, although I have been studying the war strategy, but I have never been able to grasp the essentials. If there are talents to recommend? ”

Xun Yu originally wanted to recommend Guo Jia, but he thought that Guo Jia's current position was unclear, for fear that Guo Jia would be frightened away if he was recommended, so he said: "Yu has a friend, a planner, and a master of the art of war. ”

"Zhicai is also avoiding trouble in Wei County, and the general can send someone to extend the invitation!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Since it is a talented person recommended by Wen Ruo, Cao Mou should personally go to invite him!" ”

Linzi City.

The successful conclusion of spring ploughing made Liu Bei's heart that had been worried finally become stable.

As long as you wait for another half a year, you can harvest a lot of grain.

With the current scale of Qingzhou's tuntian, as long as it is not extravagant and wasteful, it is enough to feed these hundreds of thousands of hungry people.

And the wealthy families of Qingzhou who have obtained agricultural books such as "The Book of Victory" will also get more grain than in previous years.

This means that as long as there is a bumper harvest this year, Qingzhou will be able to completely get rid of its dependence on grain from other states.

To this end, Liu Bei also specially gathered hundreds of old farmers and scholars who had experience in celestial phenomena and climates to predict changes in celestial phenomena.

State Pastoral Office.

Guoyuan, the newly appointed lieutenant of the Diannong School, said: "The envoys, the sages have a saying, spring ploughing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest, and winter hiding, the four do not lose time, so the grains are endless, and the people have surplus food." ”

"Qingzhou used to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources on land reclamation and spring ploughing, but it paid little attention to water conservancy."

"Please issue an order to organize the people to build water conservancy and dredge rivers and canals in all counties of Qingzhou, and if anyone obstructs water conservancy in each county, regardless of their status, they will be punished with a capital crime reduced by one."

Liu Bei nodded: "Xia Yun is the foundation of agriculture, and it should not be abandoned because of water conservancy." Zini is solely responsible for this matter, and the state and pastoral government will fully support the money, food, and manpower needed. ”

Zhang Zhaodao, who is engaged in literature: "The people are susceptible to demagoguery because of the lack of Confucianism. Official schools can be set up in various prefectures and counties, and some scholars who are not suitable for official politics can be placed, so that they can teach in the schools, educate the people, and promote the virtues of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, and faith. ”

"In addition, scholars can be encouraged to run their own private schools to preach and receive careers, but private schools must be uniformly supervised by the state and pastoral governments, so as to avoid thieves from preaching evil words in the name of private learning."

Liu Bei agreed to Zhang Zhao's proposal: "Indoctrination and water conservancy are both important matters, and they should not be neglected. Zibu is in charge of this matter, and the size of the school depends on the financial situation of the state governor. ”

Bing Cao engaged in the recruitment and said: "Envoy, the current situation is chaotic, if Qingzhou cannot demonstrate martial virtue, it will be taken advantage of by ambition." ”

"Nowadays, although there are many county soldiers and county soldiers in all departments of Qingzhou County, most of them lack training."

"It can still be used to maintain law and order and deal with some ordinary bandits, but it is a bit reluctant to deal with strong bandits such as Guan Cheng and unauthorized attackers such as Liu Dai."

"At this time, you can select good families in each county, organize them into 5,000 people, and practice diligently in case of emergency!"

Seeing that Guoyuan, Zhang Zhao, and Zhao Zhao spoke one after another, and the rest of the civil and military affairs were also listed and made suggestions.

Liu Bei was suddenly in trouble.

Water conservancy needs money and grain, the school needs money and grain, the training requires money and grain, and the rest of the civil and military personnel are engaged in making suggestions, all of which are places in Qingzhou where a lot of money and grain need to be invested.

Liu Bei looked at the newly promoted bookkeeper Cao engaged in Hu Zhao: "Hu book, Qingzhou's money and grain, can it still be supported?" ”

Hu Zhao's cousin is married to Zhang Fei, and he is an old man who has followed Liu Bei since Gaotang County, and his father is still Zheng Xuan's disciple, and Hu Zhao's ability is also obvious to all.

Therefore, after Liu Bei thought about it carefully, he transferred Hu Zhao from the county order of Gaotang County to the state pastoral office, responsible for the money and grain books, and in charge of the transfer of money and grain from the state pastoral government.

Hu Zhao said quietly: "Envoy, get rid of Qingzhou's wartime reserves of money and grain, with the current money and grain estimates, at most the two of you can be engaged in the plan." ”

As soon as he heard Hu Zhao's words, Zhang Zhao suddenly became anxious.

If it is a plan that can only be done by two people, then his plan will inevitably be brushed down.

Agriculture is the core of Qingzhou at present, and Guoyuan's plan must not be moved.

And military affairs are also the core of Qingzhou, and the plan for recruitment cannot be moved.

Then the plan to add schools is less important than agricultural and military affairs.

"Hu Shucao, although Qingzhou is indeed short of food, but calculating the time, the Zhen family of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the money and grain promised by Jingzhou Thorn Shi are also on the way."

"Educating the people is to prevent the people from being bewitched by thieves, and it is also to show the heart of the king to seek talent, and he must not be negligent."

Zhang Zhao is engaged in literature, and he is in charge of this part.

If he can't educate the people, then Zhang Zhao will have no political achievements.

Although Hu Zhao is not as famous as Zhang Zhao, he has seen a lot of scenes, and in the face of Zhang Zhao's inquiry, Hu Zhao bowed his hand and said: "Zhang Wenxue, he is only engaged in the book, and he is only responsible for managing the money and grain of the state pastoral government. ”

"The money and food on the road, since they have not arrived at the treasury, will not be under the control."

"If Zhang Wenxue can raise money and grain for the state pastoral government, he can give a certain amount of authority according to the reward and punishment regulations for raising money and grain in Qingzhou."

Zhang Zhao was speechless for a moment.

If I can raise money and food, why should I ask you, a bookkeeper?

But Zhang Zhao did not give up because of this, but continued to explain to Liu Bei the benefits of adding a school.

And all the civil and military personnel are also insisting on their own plans, hoping that Liu Bei can consider it as appropriate and allocate some money and food.

Liu Bei suddenly felt his head bigger.

Money, money, money, everything.

At this moment, the scattered officials came to report, and Zheng Ping asked to see him outside.

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Xianmou is back!" Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you listen to the opinions of other drivers before deciding? ”

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Zheng Ping is back, and it is even more difficult to get the state pastoral government to allocate money and grain to set up a school.

Not much.

Zheng Ping came with a smile.

Glancing at the expression of civil and military engagement, Zheng Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time?" Why don't you discuss it first? ”
