…

"Back to the lord, according to the information I inquired, this army is led by Hua Xiong, the former fierce general of Bishui Pass, with more than 10,000 cavalry, nearly 20,000 infantry, and nearly forty percent of the army." Cao Hong got up again and answered.

Since he dares to come up with ideas, he naturally has a considerable understanding of this army, and it is also the reason why he is extremely afraid of this army.

Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this information, a little hard to believe.

With Taishan County, is it necessary to send such a huge army to transport grain?

"Forty percent of the armor, the elite of tens of thousands of personnel? I didn't expect Liu Xuande to be so cautious. Cao Cao said with emotion.

Cao Cao greatly appreciated Liu Bei's personality and ability.

Liu Bei was able to do this kind of behavior, and in Cao Cao's opinion, this was a sign of absolute caution.

With such a large number of troops and escorting food, even if others want to start, they have to weigh it.

Even if he Cao Cao is now in charge of Yanzhou, in the face of this situation, it is not possible to mobilize troops for encirclement and suppression in a while.

What's more, the time to come back is too good, it is the cultivation period, how can you use the sword in vain?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Yuan Benchu in Jizhou.

Directly raise a large army and put the army on the border between Jizhou and Youzhou, and judging from intelligence, this number of troops means that Yuan Benchu gave up the cultivation of at least two counties.

Jizhou, which is extremely rich in grain, has a lot of money, which makes Cao Cao look extremely envious, but he can't do anything about it.

"My lord, the number of people who went to Chang'an City in Taishan County before did not match, and the time of going there was too long, and the delay was too long, and it can also be inferred that most of these troops were formed by bandits in the Yongzhou region." Xi Zhong coughed twice, and then said.

After Cao Cao heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he said happily, "Has the Yongzhou area been chaotic to this extent?" ”

Xi Zhong nodded at this, and then said, "Since Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Fengxian, the entire Xiliang army has no leader, and it has become completely chaotic, and now the Yongzhou area is full of bandits, and the chaos is incomparable. ”

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, it is difficult to have such information.

"So in this case, Yanzhou must maintain stability this year, and this year's grain must be guaranteed, only in this way, until the grain harvest is supported, we will have enough food to complete our strategic plan." Xun Yu glanced at Xi Zhong, and then said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao thought about the surrounding situation, nodded, and said to Cheng Yu at the same time, "Zhongde, the information of the Quartet, please leave it to you, if there is any change in the other princes, please inform me." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and took it, quite satisfied with the job.

In addition to the normal investigation of intelligence, there are also opportunities to block other forces, so why not?

"Zi Ke, Zi Lian, please keep an eye on that army, as long as they march steadily, don't care about them, if they have any other ideas." Cao Cao instructed Lu Qian and Cao Hong, and at the same time, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

As a monarch, he Cao Cao never lacked decisive courage.

For the sake of long-term planning, he Cao Cao can give up the present, but if this army does not give face, he will be killed even if he loses.

Cao Hong and Lu Qian agreed directly, and then got up and left.

"Wen Ruo, the big and small affairs in the state, I have to worry about Wen Ruo." Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu not far away and hurriedly said.

Xun Yu nodded and took it, this is what he is best at, how difficult can it be to do politics?

"Gongda, are you sure that there is no problem with Ling's strategic direction? According to the current intelligence, Chen Zichuan's ability will definitely not be weaker than mine. Xun Yu packed up the bamboo slips in his hand and said to Xun Yu behind him.

Xun You was silent for a moment, as if he was stunned, and finally said slowly, "First stabilize the rule, at least there must be enough food, before you can plot against Yongzhou, even if you use the land of Guanzhong, collect Liangzhou in the west, go to Yizhou in the south, sit on the momentum of Western Qin, and swallow the world." ”

"What about time? Do we really have that long? Xun Yu sighed and asked slowly.

Xun You looked at Xun Yu, then at Cao Cao who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "It is not us who makes the decision on this matter after all, but Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, and the speed of their progress is the time we can have." ”

"Since Gongda understands it so well, I don't need to say anything more when I think about it." Xun Yu's expression was calm, and he said to Xun Yu while dealing with the government affairs in his hand.

"But is that really good? After all, Yuan Benchu recommended the lord to sit in the position of Yanzhou Thorn History, and at the same time gave a large amount of grain and grass, so that we could easily survive this year and persist until the time of this year's grain harvest. Xun You said calmly, as if he was a gentleman, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

Xun Yu raised his head, then looked sideways at Xun Yu, thought for a while, and finally said slowly, "Gongda, what did you say before?" What did we do? ”

After Xun You heard it, he sighed, looked up at Xun Yu, and said calmly, "Since this is the case, then I understand, but I don't know how long it can last." ”

"A little more time, the more chance of winning, so let's work hard." Xun Yu said calmly.

Although they are all a family, Xun Yu also knows that there are too many talents in his family, and even he cannot order all the Xun family members.

Xun You could only nod at this, and he had already begun to plan in his mind, how to weaken the first prince of the world, and the second prince of the world, so that they could have more time for development.

Xi Zhong looked at the two of them, smiled faintly, and then felt a pain from his body, and took out a handkerchief from his cuffs as a matter of course, put it to his mouth, and wiped the blood from his mouth as if nothing had happened.

It's a pity, the master who was finally found, why can't you give me a little more time, even if it's another ten years.

Fengxiao, why did you run to Taishan County? Wouldn't it be good to be my successor?

Cao Mengde is so wise and martial, isn't he much stronger than Liu Xuande?

Isn't it just because of the beatings in the past that you're going to the opposite side?

Xi Zhong kept thinking about the genius he fancied in his mind.

What was once considered the most suitable successor is now under the command of other princes.

Even if the relationship is good, he has to fight for his lord, and with his loyal body, I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to see Guo Jia again.
