"These are just assertions, there is no information, and this place of grain and grass is so important, it will change depending on the situation of the war, it cannot be regarded as such," Cao Cao shook his head, although he felt that this was quite perfect, but it was groundless and too risky.

However, Zhang Han's opinion still made Cao Cao understand it many times, and he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Perhaps, after a period of deep reflection and discussion, we can improve the next military strategy.

Moreover, the purpose of Zhang Han's strategy is deeply in line with Cao Cao's intentions.

No matter what the means are, whether they can be accomplished, and how difficult they are, only two goals are needed, one is to lead the Yuan army to drive straight in, advance the expedition for dozens of miles, and set to fight at Guandu.

Instead, it is a surprise attack around the rear and burning its grain and grass, which can cover up the army, so that no matter how many people there are in the Yuan army, it will definitely be chaotic.

Once the army is in turmoil, it will definitely be defeated.

As long as his army is defeated once, the news spreads throughout the north and south of the Han Dynasty, and the princes everywhere will think that the Yuan clan is gone, and naturally there will be another decision.

At that time, it will only be a matter of time before the land of Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and Merge States collapses.

This theory of ten wins and ten defeats is well argued!!

Although there is a suspicion of flattery, it is enough to analyze the current relationship between the two parties.

Yuan Shao, there is no doubt that he will be defeated, it seems that he is superior, but in fact, the advantage is mine.

Cao Cao may not have felt it himself, at this moment, Zhang Han's theory of ten wins and ten losses has invisibly affected him, and the confidence in his heart is simply spontaneous.

"This is not flattery," Zhang Han suddenly looked back at this moment, turned to face Cao Cao, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply, his expression was very solemn, "This can make the great victory we won after the autumn even more precious." ”

"A big victory is just a little convenience for the soldiers immediately, but what impact does it have on their military strength, territory, and the heart of the military under their command? Probably not. ”

"But if the remarks spread all over the capital this time, my father-in-law can imagine what the situation will be, and how will the people in my territory and the princes of various places view the situation between the north and the south?"

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, he had already thought about this matter, but he failed to weigh how to spread it all over the world, if the purpose was too obvious, it would be too arrogant and might be counterproductive.

After all, this battle report is enough to persuade the "people of the world", especially the scholars who pay attention to interests and the future.

Not only scholars, but also scholars from poor families, students from all over the world, if they are talented and eager for the future, they should make a choice between the Yuan family and the Han court.

"That's a good suggestion......" Cao Cao looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly.

"In addition, there is another plan that can be used to divide the wedge, and I got an intriguing news here......"

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth rose and he sold a pass.

Cao Cao knew before that Zhang Han had sent hundreds of dead soldiers from the black-robed battalion to be rogue thieves and bandits, and some of them were also mixed into the merchant horse convoy and entered the more important cities in Jizhou.

For more than a year, they have been silently transmitting information to Zhang Han, although some people have lost contact because they have been discovered, but the entire team of dead soldiers has not been completely wiped out.

When Zhang Han was selected, he was looking for someone with a smart mind and a more clever temperament.

Now, Cao Cao heard that Zhang Han was so confident, and he looked forward to it for a moment, Zhang Han must have some news.

"You say."

He asked.

Cao Cao himself didn't expect it, he thought that Zhang Han was simply flattering with Fang Cai's ten-win-ten theory, but perhaps, there would be surprises.

Zhang Han stood still, arched his hands, showed a confident smile on his face, and said, "My lord, under Yuan Shao's camp, there is a member of the advisor who has a friendship with you since you were a child, yes or no?" ”

"Well," Cao Cao replied softly, "this person's name is Xu You, the word is far away, and he is a rather important adviser under Yuan Shao, and he has not had much contact with him for a long time." ”

"In the Battle of the White Horse this time, maybe he also gave advice under Yuan Shao's account, maybe he fought against you," Cao Cao smiled at him, and then recalled: "This person, when he was young, was heavy-minded, quite arrogant, and he was thin-skinned, in this regard, he can't compare with you at all." ”

Could you please tell the story well? Zhang Hanxin said, and cast a kind but slightly embarrassed gaze on the side.

"His character, I have heard a lot over the years, it is said that he is not on good terms with celebrities in Yecheng, and he is not liked by the Fu Zhi, Cui Yan, and Xin brothers, I am afraid that his party will also exclude him, it is conceivable that he will definitely be depressed in Jizhou."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao had already stopped what was in his mouth, looked at Zhang Han with a smile, and asked, "Say, but what is the strategy to make Xu You switch to me?" Or, can he design it to make Yuan Shao's internal civil and military inconsistencies? ? ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Father-in-law is not in a hurry, listen to this information first." ”

"Say it."

"The black-robed cavalry sent information that Xu Ziyuan's family was greedy for ink and bribery, amassed wealth in several mansions, embezzled money equivalent to more than 4,000 stone grains, and privately collected house slaves too much, greedy and uncontrollable."

"This news is the breakthrough."

"The strategists under Yuan Shao, Tian Feng just committed it, Xu Yu was greedy and didn't know, he tried to be specialized but unplanned, and he was useless in every discipline, and he should be divided and attacked against them."

"Xu Yu is the easiest person to start, he has too many handles, and he is easy to be manipulated, and at the same time, it will really anger Yuan Shao and make him murderous, but the other three are not ordinary times to make Yuan Shao angry but not hateful."

"It's kind of interesting."

Cao Cao touched the curly and thick beard on his chin and laughed happily, "Haha, if that's the case, Xu You's life will be lost." ”

Zhang Han was leisurely, he saw that Cao Cao's face was much better now, and his heart was naturally a little more relaxed, and now it seemed that he should not be looking for trouble anymore.

Or that he didn't want to make trouble at all, that is, the little old man sprinkled and found some sense of existence.

"What the lord said is very true, let me ask, who wants to be arrogant, corrupt and arrogant under the command of the lord."

"Xu Yu has privately rolled up several mansions and fields, with countless family properties and hundreds of people, how arrogant and arrogant, and he has collected money so far, it is like a worm that moths the pillars, how can it not make people hate and disgust!?"

"After the defeat in the Great War, once he is exposed, he will be severely punished, and if he is exposed after the march, Yuan Shao will have one less brain. Such a person who behaves badly will inevitably be condemned by a large number of people and will not be tolerated by the world. ”

"Hmmm......"

When he said this, he found that Cao Cao and Cao Ang both nodded at the same time, and they both looked at him with a rather strange gaze, the expression seemed to be wonderful, but he felt completely unconvinced.

Are you embarrassed to say this?

There are only a few mansions, hundreds of acres of land, and hundreds of slaves, do you want to take someone to the Mid-Levels City Mansion to count them? !

However, his family property was also earned by himself, and with his vision and talent, no one could say anything cool, but the Cao family and his son listened to Zhang Han's righteous words, and it was not right to listen to them.

Zhang Han only reacted at this time, oh, I don't seem to be qualified to criticize others for their incorruptibility.

Tsk, gaffe.

It's not a gaffe, I'm excited, I shouldn't be excited about these things, so they will think I'm a fake.

"Ahem......" After being embarrassed for a moment, Zhang Han cleared his throat and said with a smile: "But, then again, it is normal for people to be greedy for money and lustful, if someone does not do this at all, it is not normal, even if it is self-discipline." ”

"Yes."

"Then, we'll settle this matter?" Zhang Han asked tentatively, "What do you think of the plan for today?" Can what is said today be implemented, if so, tomorrow in the court, the son-in-law will have the courage to speak to the Son of Heaven......"

"Okay," Cao Cao had already lowered his head to look at the watch, but his mood was obviously much better now than Fang Cai, and there was already a faint smile on his face.

Zhang Han stayed on the side for a long time, and he didn't know what to say, so after scratching his head, he asked again: "Then, what do I ...... do?"

"What's the matter with you? I don't remember what you said about you? Cao Cao blinked, his face was dazed, "By the way, do you need to allocate some more money for your construction camp?" ”

Zhang Han nodded hurriedly and smiled very brightly, "Okay, listen to my father-in-law, the industrial camp is related to people's livelihood, and my son-in-law knows this well, and he will not disappoint his father-in-law." That's okay, I'll go back first? ”

"Go, tomorrow after the court meeting, go to the mansion to feast, my father misses you."

"Huh! Let's go! ”

Zhang Han turned around happily and left, and when he walked out of the lobby, he had already straightened his waist, and reached out to pat Xu Chu's shoulder, Xu Chu at this time was already dumbfounded.

Although he was not in the hall, the door was not closed, and he could still hear some conversation from time to time.

During the whole conversation, the emotional changes of both parties, he Xu Chuke listened to it, and he occasionally cast a "fourth person" gaze at Zhang Han.

He never dreamed that this would be directly ordered to allocate money and food, is this the happiness of Bo Chang?

Don't look at Xu Chu, who doesn't mix anything on weekdays, but in fact, he knows everything about big and small things.

Outrageous, in short, outrageous.

……

Day 2.

Early morning.

Hundreds of officials discussed, and when the sky was bright, on the big square in front of the Yongle Palace, there were groups of officials walking in pairs.

Cao Cao was given by the Son of Heaven to sit down, so he walked into the palace and took the lead.

The rest of the officials, dressed in black, gold-stitched uniforms, walked slowly behind.

At this moment, several figures slowly converged from a distance, walking side by side.

Zhang Han is in the middle, walking in a regular manner, with a crown and hat on his head, and his demeanor is good today, as if he is full of spring breeze.

Guo Jia was on the left, with a smile on his face, his eyes were smart, revealing a little arrogance.

Xi Zhicai yawned on the right, his eyes were blank, he slept too long last night, and after drinking, he was in Zhang Han's mansion again, enjoying the warmth of the soft couch, so uncomfortable, he didn't wake up.

"Do you receive the reward today?"

After walking for a while, Xi Zhi realized that something was wrong, why did the two people on the left seem to be holding back their joy today?

It's all like wanting to talk and stopping.

"Having won the battle, the momentum is huge, and the situation is in hand, how can you not like it?"

The two stared at each other and smiled.

It makes sense.

Xi Zhicai felt strange, looking at the ground suspiciously, but he didn't understand what was wrong, perhaps, with the temperament of the two of them, they shouldn't be happy for so long.

At this time, seeing Xun Yu in front of him from a distance, Xi Zhicai couldn't help it first, and called with a smile: "Wen Ruo." ”

"Hmm," Xun Yu paused, glanced back at them on the steps, nodded elegantly, and smiled slightly.

Then he turned around and walked first.

"What is he running?"

"Avoid suspicion," Guo Jia said directly, "The entire court knows that we have a good relationship, and if we enter the palace with you and me in public, it is suspected of forming a party for personal gain." ”

"Aren't so many people entering the palace together," Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, disapproving, "Look at the front, Hua Xin, Yang Xiu, and Wang Taifu also entered the palace together?" What about the dozen or so of them? ”

Huh?

Xi Zhicai suddenly discovered that the old lady actually came to the court today?

Yang Biao is now temporarily assisting Shangshutai, but he doesn't need to discuss it on weekdays, how strange it is.

"If you want me to say, Xun Lingjun is the one who avoids them, so as not to be said by the Shi clan to mix with us all day long," Zhang Han said fairly, the Xun Yu family was born in the famous family, and together with the three Han Mo side veins and white bodies, it affected the family's reputation.

"Hmm!" Guo Jia shook his head directly, "You don't know Wen Ruo, he is not a person who cares about this kind of reputation, he only follows his heart, if he avoids suspicion now, there is only one possibility." ”

"It's just annoying the three of us."

Zhang Han raised his eyelids, "It can't be me, it should be annoying the two brothers." ”

Guo Jiale said hehehe: "I have been fighting with the army for several months, and if Wen Ruo can't see me at all, it must not be me." ”

"That's me?"

Xi Zhicai's face was full of disgust, and he categorically didn't believe these words, "In the past, when I was sloppy, Wen Ruo also brought wine and food to eat with me, and drank water instead of wine.

When I got drunk, I also ordered the servants to change my clothes and beard, how considerate, friends in the world, I am afraid there are few people who can take care of me so meticulously. ”

"Is there a possibility that he just thinks you're dirty?" Zhang Han asked with a wink.

"you."

Xi Zhicai elbowed him.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't elbow, go in!" Zhang Han trotted a few steps, and arrived at the main hall with a fight, and after the little eunuch took off his boots, he entered the main hall and stood and returned to his place.

There are more than 100 officials in the palace, Zhang Han has been demoted several times, although he is now too guarded, but the position is still similar to the original temple, in the middle and rear, and there are people from the scholar clan around him.

Dian Wei was in the middle, nodding and dozing off like chickens pecking rice from time to time.

This look, Xun Yu is annoyed when he sees him! I still want to marry my little sister!?

However, the elegant and easy-going Xun Lingjun will never express this emotion, and when facing Dian Wei, he is still sincere.

At most, I don't allow it in my heart.

After the court discussion began, Liu Xie praised the war in the north, and Shang Shutai took this as a guide to talk about the deployment of defense in the coming year, and then transferred to various places to send the winter disaster.

Because of the establishment of the Medical Bureau, the winter plague has been greatly reduced in the past two years, and the situation is very good, and the clothing and food for the people to spend the winter have also increased year by year.

The inspection and evaluation of officials in various places are also unsatisfactory, and occasionally a few people are quite outstanding, such as Chen Deng, Dong Zhao, Che Zhou, Yu Ban, Zang Ba, Cheng Yu, etc., these people's achievements are either the merit of enriching the people, or the achievement of reassuring the people, or they can gather the hearts of the people in the territory, and are supported by wealthy families and businessmen, and their political achievements are remarkable.

After some introduction, it was already a stick of incense, and Liu Xie finally asked about the military strategy for next year's battle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the territory is safe and rich, and it is necessary to defend the territory in the coming year, since the war, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Xiliang and Yizhou are no longer paying tribute."

"And Jingzhou and Yangzhou are also fighting endlessly and the roads are not reached, passing the buck to each other, and I think that because of this war."

"Your Majesty." Cao Cao glanced back at him, full of relief and appreciation.

"Then, the prime minister thinks that if you fight again in the coming year, can you win the battle and recapture the land of Sizhou?"

"If you can, can you have a real military strategy?"

Liu Xie asked gently, this was not discussed in advance, but he really wanted to know how the battle was going.

Since the war between the two places, he has only heard of victory now, and at most, in Zhang Han's previous description, he roughly understands the style and combat style of the Jizhou soldiers.

As for the specific soldiers and horses, the number of troops, where to store troops and food, and who is strong and who is weak on the surface of the enemy and us, we are still confused.

From this point of view, disputes naturally arise.

"Minister, I want to hear what the minister has to say."

At this moment, Yang Biao was the first to stand up, bowed while holding the wat board, and said loudly: "Weichen believes that the Yuan clan is powerful, the soldiers are strong, and we should not be complacent because of a temporary victory, and we need to think in the long run." ”

"Huh?"

Xi Zhicai was stunned.

What he said was wrong, I remember that Taiwei Yang was on our side, why did he start to refute it again?

I slept all night, but not so confused, what happened all night?
