In less than a stick of incense, Jia Ji hurriedly brought a map of the area from Hanoi to Wei County, but some of them had not yet been sorted out and summarized, and they were still rags to be viewed separately.

Zhang Han and Jia Xu searched quickly, and soon found a boundary, from the Guandu Trail to cross the river by boat, which can pass hundreds of people.

"I feel that it is actually useless to capture this place, just occupy Baimajin, occupy the riverbank, whether you retreat or defend in the future, you can choose by yourself, or destroy this place after retreating, which can also delay the advance route of Yuan's army."

Until now, Jia Xu and Xun You still have the same opinion, and both of them are very sure that if they want to defeat Yuan Shao, they must not cross the river on an expedition, but should wait for them to come.

Once Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River and fought in the field of Guandu, he could rely on the danger of the river to facilitate the pursuit and defeat of his people.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao's foundation is in Wei County, and what if he crosses the river in the past, even if he wins a big victory?

Is it possible to storm Liyang?

Liyang is the barrier to the south of Wei County, and even if it was not an easy and difficult fortified city to defend in the past, if the two sides intended to fight, it would become a fortified city in the next few years.

Therefore, in Jia Xu's concept, he has never thought about taking Liyang City from the beginning to the present.

The target is at the various ferry crossings in Kawazu.

Guandu, Baimajin, and Yanjin are all extremely important, and they will become the main battlefield and the key to grain transportation in the future.

This means that Zhang Han will show weakness in his calculations, and the results to be obtained in exchange should be looked at here.

Jia Xu nodded at Bai Majin and said, "You only need to cross the river from the northwest of Dongjun here, and you should take it." ”

"With the power of the prince, there is nothing that cannot be done, if this plan is changed to others, it may be difficult, and the sacrifice is also great, but the black robe and armor of the prince are not afraid."

Jia Xu's eyes were constantly shining, this was the advantage he saw in Zhang Han, and this advantage was something he had never had in his previous masters.

For example, Zhang Xiu, although he is also young and heroic, is far inferior to Zhang Han, and Lu Bu is quite brave and far less cunning than Zhang Han.

Other people's plans are enough, but they can't control the soldiers to achieve their plans together, I'm afraid that if this is the case, Zhang Bochang can already be said to be unparalleled in the world.

"Well, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the battlefield is ruthless and the sword has no eyes, what if I unfortunately die?"

"Never," Jia Xu said categorically without thinking.

Zhang Han was speechless: "You are looking forward to me to attack, if you succeed, you have the merit of contribution, if you don't succeed, you will die...... Or if you are wounded and flee, your father and son will be free. ”

"Evil!!" Jia Xu's face was pinched, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Junhou, don't be suspicious at this time, okay!?" ”

"Still skeptical?" Jia Xu is numb, and his scalp trembles! When did this suspicious nature begin?

I remember not being like this before, huh?

Could it be that now that the status is different, do you start to spare your life?

Zhang Han saw that Jia Xu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and fried his hair, his heart was full of interest, and he said: "I'm not, just ask casually, just say no without you." ”

You're still reasonable!! The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute it very carefully, just smiled lightly.

"What does the prince think?"

"I think it's too dangerous, I don't want to go," Zhang Han said crisply, "but the route you planned is good." ”

"What do you mean?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Han curiously.

"Showing the enemy weakness is actually to make them think that their goal has been achieved, and they are satisfied with their schemes, and they have safely passed the danger of Xu Du's tribute with the order of the Son of Heaven."

"And since I have already shown weakness, why should I suddenly rise up and attack the east and west, in order to show my talent and prestige?"

The two looked at each other, both blinked, and were quiet for a moment.

At this moment, Jia Xu tentatively approached and said, "Don't attack it, just let the outpost go over?" ”

"So, in what capacity?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, what does Mr. Wenhe think should be the best?"

"Hmm......" Jia Xu felt that there was obviously a hole in this, and he didn't want to answer, but if he didn't answer, he seemed to be guilty.

Forget it, it would rather hurt Tianhe than Wenhe, he sighed and said: "The rogue bandits are the best, and the homeless people can also be connected to each other, and they can find out a lot of news and see a lot of truths." ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wenhe for your advice, Ben Hou accepted it," Zhang Han nodded very quickly, and cast an approving glance at Jia Xu.

Even, there is some gratitude in his eyes that he has learned a lot.

Of course, Jia Xu didn't believe these micro-expressions at all, and now the prince has become more and more a chicken thief.

He is no longer the boy who charged with money, and he has changed in a hundred and every way.

……

Three days later.

Zhang Han left Hanoi, and very suddenly, almost urgently, put down all the affairs in his hands, and entrusted the task of disaster relief to Cao Hong, the Taishou.

What is claimed to the outside world is ...... I went back to accompany my family, I have been running around for a year, I have never taken care of my family, and I want to reunite with my family for a year.

Originally, Zhang Han planned to say that his family was sick, but after thinking about it, which good person is okay to say this about his family?

Under the inquiry of well-intentioned people, this news has spread quickly and spread widely in Hanoi.

Zhang Han's close ministers were even more secretive about this and kept silent, but the more the news was concealed, the faster it went.

It didn't take long for the news to spread to the border of Hanoi, and those who inquired about it were speculating whether Zhang Han had been punished for corruption and had returned to Xu Du to be imprisoned.

However, at this time, Xu Du was more peaceful than most people thought, especially Zhang Han.

On the evening of this night, he received a letter from Cao Cao, telling him to act with peace of mind and not need to worry about the court's comments.

Cao Cao said that he was completely sure that Zhang Han would not lose his reputation because of this, but would become famous and contribute a lot to the court.

So Zhang Han began to think deeply about the meaning of these words, whether it implied that he could do anything wrong, after all, according to the principle of balanced exchange, the "great merit" in the mouth of the righteous father can be offset by the "great disaster".

And this great calamity cannot be a crime of rebellion, as long as it is a meritorious thing in that kind of calamity, it does not matter.

In the letter, it was not stated what the merits were, and Zhang Han himself didn't know what hole cards he had, after all, he hadn't had any unique merits since Shouchun came back.

That's it, since the dignified prime minister of the dynasty has said so, nothing will go wrong, but there is no need to worry.

……

Xu Du.

Cao Cao, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia were in the hall together, and there were still Jizhou recitals sent on the table.

And Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai didn't understand the meaning of Cao Cao's letter to Zhang Han.

Even a person like Guo Jia, who is clear and transparent, and is eager and wise, doesn't know what confidence this prime minister has.

According to his guess, it should be directly suppressed by force and force, rather than normal methods, which can indeed be preserved, but it will also cause some discord between the monarch and the minister.

In this way, the current situation cannot be suppressed.

Naturally, there will be dislikes, which is also a scene that many people are willing to see, and it is the effect that Jizhou is willing to see.

Isn't this the real purpose of this plan?

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, with deep worry in their eyes, and they knew very well that Cao Cao's mind was difficult to guess, and he was far-sighted, and his eyes were based on lofty vision.

Cao Cao caught a glimpse of the eyes of the two, snorted coldly and laughed: "Are you curious, what confidence do I have to assure Bo Chang that it will be okay?" ”

"That's right," the two people present were not chronic, and as soon as they heard Cao Cao's words, they understood that he was definitely willing to say it, so they turned to look at him at the same time.

Even Xun You couldn't help but turn his head and look scrutinizing.

Cao Cao smiled, "This kid still has a merit, maybe he has forgotten it himself." ”

"That was a strategy he pulled out before he left his post to go to the countryside to harm the mountain people before he went to Shouchun."

"Huh?" Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai exclaimed at the same time, going to the countryside to harm the mountain people, what is this statement, will it be a little too direct?

"So, what kind of merit?" Xun You asked helplessly on the side.

He can still maintain his bearing, because he has made sufficient psychological preparations for Zhang Han, and in his heart, it is not surprising that Zhang Shaoqing has done anything.

Cao Cao took out a scroll of dossier written on brocade cloth, spread it out and said: "Zhang Han offered the method of plowing pigs, reopened the pig craftsman, and spread it to Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Runan County, and Pengguo. ”

"Until the winter of this year, when the year is approaching, all over the country will open the slaughter of pigs to cook into the family feast, the pork production in the territory will increase, and the people can be said to be able to eat meat, compared with the previous five grains and rice millet, is this not a great achievement?"

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were suddenly stunned, "There is such a thing? ”

"How much more will it take?"

"Xuzhou alone is more than ten times more than that, and Yuncheng's performance table is already on the way."

Cao Cao smiled softly and said, "With such a feat, how can Bo Chang suffer?" ”

"It's too late for the Son of Heaven to be happy, the ability of hundreds of officials is speechless, such feats, although there are ancients in the past, and there may be people in the future, but at the moment it is really worth celebrating by the whole country, and Bo Chang can be described as a true hero."

Cao Cao's words are not true, because it is not Zhang Han who advocates the promotion, but Cao Cao.

Zhang Han just mentioned at the beginning, and then the method of plowing pigs, fattening with geldings, and then making villagers around the country diligent breeding.

Only then did this year's "bumper harvest", and Cao Cao's decree released the pigs that could only be raised by large households and businessmen to civilians everywhere.

Only then did he have the current merits, but he happened to encounter something from Jizhou, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave the merits to Zhang Han.

Not only can it stop this disaster, but it can also make him famous again.

As for what Zhang Han is doing now, Cao Cao is looking forward to it, and he also wants to see what Zhang Han is going to do.

After all, I didn't ask him to take the initiative to deal with Yuan Shao, it was Yuan Shao who provoked it himself.

Cao Cao's current mentality is like that of a rich man, watching his young and vigorous son fight for money with others.

He can fight on his own, and he has his own mountains of gold and silver behind him to support him, if he is defeated, it doesn't matter, and he still has merit when he comes back.

"I see," Xun You nodded at this time, stroked his beard and smiled, and said with emotion: "The prince is really, he knows a little bit about everything, this gelding method was had in the time of Emperor Wu, but it was not promoted." ”

"Later folk records were also recorded, but after all, because there was no evidence, it was not convincing, and it could not be deduced, but I didn't expect the prince to understand this."

Awesome, really awesome.

A person is not too surprising, it will only arouse admiration, but he can even understand pigs and, pee and fart at the same time, then it is surprising.

What's more, Zhang Han is still so young, he still has at least a few decades to accumulate knowledge and experience, and I don't know what kind of person he will be in the future.

If you can grow up and improve your temperament, I am afraid that you will have to call "Zhang Sheng" in later generations, and I don't know what kind of saint it is.

Xun You asked himself that he had always been very accurate in seeing people, and when he had something in his heart, he couldn't help but say it, causing Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhong to laugh dumbly at the same time.

"Hehehe, haha!"

At the end, Cao Cao slapped the case and laughed: "He's just a dog, what kind of holy ......?"

The hall was full of laughter, and Cao Cao changed into an official uniform and entered the palace in a relaxed atmosphere, and he planned to explain the matter to Liu Xie first.

It's okay to let Your Majesty have a bottom in your heart, and at the same time respect Your Majesty's identity and status, and finally make a plan.

……

"Oh?"

In the Changle Palace, after Liu Xie listened to Cao Cao's report, his face showed a curious look of joy, "Zhang Aiqing still understands this?" ”

"Understood," Cao Cao nodded immediately, "Your Majesty, don't forget, Bo Chang is from recklessness and has a low status, and these people's feelings are only easier for people with low status to see." ”

"He also once said that those who know the government are not in the court, but in the opposition."

"The people of the mountains and wilderness walk among the people, and they know the sufferings well, and their eyes must be different from the officials who live in the temples."

"That's right!" Liu Xie agreed, "In this way, Zhang Aiqing was able to take out his family assets to support 80,000 refugees, but it was actually because of the previous strong gelding policy. ”

"Not only did he increase the production of minced meat in my territory, but he also had a lot of food in his hands, which can be used to feed the people."

"Well," Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, with a kind eyebrow that he had never seen before, but soon frowned, and sighed: "Alas, it's not ......"

"Why is the prime minister lamenting?! Is there anything wrong with this? It should be a major event worth celebrating, and it is a good omen for the repeated revitalization of our Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Xie's face was full of doubts, isn't it good news? How to sigh again.

"It's a pity that these watches sent by Jizhou are not good-hearted, and they want to ignore Bochang in injustice."

"What?" Liu Xie's eyes were sharp, quite angry and majestic, and he unconsciously stood up straight.

"Prime Minister, what does this mean, let's talk about it in detail."

Cao Cao bowed his hand and said: "Jizhou sent a watch, and the disaster relief in Wei County was not strict, causing the displaced people to flee south to seek survival from Xudu, and shirked it in Youzhou. ”

"And he praised Bo Chang for scattering his family wealth to treat 80,000 refugees, Xu Du has already rumored that Bo Chang's family has too much money, which is due to greed for ink, but in fact, it is all a reward won by him for his exploits in life and death."

"However, the rumors are to the population, just like the hills can't cut off the flowing water, and the words are terrifying, and I am only afraid that Yuan Shao of Jizhou in the court is meticulous, and wants to disturb this matter, Yuan's dissenting intentions are no longer a secret thing, and this law can mess with my Xu Du's foundation......"

"I understand," Liu Xie's eyes were full of light, majestic, and he stood on top of the main hall with his hands in his hands, "What is the prime minister's plan?" ”

Cao Cao further said in a low voice: "Your Majesty can pretend not to know about this matter first, and hold this Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Runan and Pengcheng performances, and when the last dynasty listens to who will come to investigate and deal with Bochang, you can pay attention to who is the person whose heart is towards Yuan and not towards Han." ”

"Well, this great feat, has not yet been shangshutai?"

"No," Cao Cao smiled, "only the minister knows." ”
