In fact, when Zhao Yu first came to this era, his first choice was Cao Mengde, not because he liked it for no reason.

In the original history, although Cao Wei did not exist for a long time, he left many valuable treasures for future generations.

In history, which has never changed, when Cao Mengde was in charge of the Central Plains and the northern land, he made great achievements in water conservancy projects alone. He built a waterway from the Yellow River to Youzhou, which was the prototype of the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. And re-build the abandoned wolf soup canal, which is the chasm, and the Jianghuai ditch. The chasm is an extremely important waterway in the Central Plains, and the Zhanggou is the prototype of the southern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

It is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the canal in the future, but who knows that the prototype of this canal has been formed in the Cao Wei period? !

What kind of great contribution has the construction of these canals and water conservancy canals made to this nation?!

In comparison, whether it is Liu Bei of Shu Han or Sun Quan of Jiangdong, what have they done, and what have they left for future generations?

This is why, before the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which distorted and confused people's concepts, the dynasties after Cao Wei generally regarded Cao Wei as orthodox.

Without him, because Cao Mengde is seeking eternity. And the other two, hehe...

Take Shu Han as an example, when Liu Bei entered Shu, the population of Shu was not low. Although the beacon fire is continuous, after the establishment of Shu Han, it is often Shu that takes the initiative to attack the Northern Expedition, and the war rarely affects Shu. However, with a figure like Zhuge Liang, why did the population of the late Shu Han Dynasty decline drastically? This cannot be explained by a sentence of 'war'.

The war did not affect Shu Han itself, and it is well documented how many soldiers died in Shu Han in repeated wars, and then the birth growth of the comprehensive population, while the total population of Shu Han has decreased significantly. You must know that in the turbulent times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the most serious impact was Cao Wei's territory, whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that affected tens of millions of people, or the countless wars between the princes during the later struggle for the Central Plains - the Central Plains was the area that suffered the most.

And Jiangdong is also the same as Shu Han.

However, when the three families returned to Jin, most of the population divisions were concentrated in the Central Plains. Shu Han and Eastern Wu were weakened.

They don't think about people's livelihood at all. Zhuge Liang, who was boasted of his god, was still persevering in the northern expedition when Shu Han continued to decline, which shows that he is not a person who seeks eternity.

With a sentence of Kuang Fu Han Room, Shu Han, a wealthy place that has never been affected in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, has been made into that appearance, and Zhuge Liang's virtuous name is not worthy of his name.

Of course, this is Zhao Yu's family's words, and he thinks so.

So as soon as he arrived in this era, he tended to Cao Mengde rather than Liu Bei, who was known for his 'benevolence and righteousness'.

And now, what Cao Mengde did did not disappoint Zhao Yu.

Even when he was fighting abroad, Cao Mengde did not forget to do what he should do for the people on this land, which is really not easy.

Now that Cao Mengde has defeated Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan will not be his opponent, and there is no opponent in the entire Central Plains region and the northern land, which can be said to be full-fledged. When the whole territory of Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, which are newly included in the rule, settles down, for a maximum of five years, the other princes will be meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

"It doesn't take five years, three years is enough. ”

Cao Mengde said in high spirits: "I only need three years to completely stabilize the three northern states, and I will also defeat the Xiongnu in these three years, but the north is Xianbei, and the state will be reestablished." In this way, You, Ji, and, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, and Sili are connected. Half of the country is in my hands. ”

He looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Liangzhou can't run either." Ma Teng, Han Sui, local chickens and dogs. I have Lu Bu Sun Ce, and in only one or two years, I can clean up the scourge of Liangzhou and suppress the chaos of Qiang. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be happy for him: "In this way, only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou are left." ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu said: "As for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong..."

Cao Mengde said: "Zhang Lu has a small ear. What's more, if you want to take Hanzhong, you can not be bloody. ”

"Oh?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the Hujia Village outside the Baochuan Road when he first went to Hanzhong.

But I heard Cao Mengde say: "Zhang Lu is based in Hanzhong with five buckets of rice Dao, and Wudou Rice Road is the Huang Lao Taoist faction, I returned from the north yesterday, and Wen Ruo said that there is a messenger from Hanzhong who wants to see me, and he is talking about Mr. News in a roundabout way." In my opinion, as long as Mr. says a word, Zhang Lu still won't give up Hanzhong?"

Zhao Yu heard this, and secretly said that he didn't expect it.

"Yes, Zhang Lu is also a Taoist. ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "I was negligent for a while, but I didn't expect it." By the way, I remember that Zuo Ci Lao Dao also told me about Zhang Lu. ”

"What does that mean?" Mr. Cao looked forward to.

Hanzhong is really difficult to fight because of the terrain. If you can fight without blood, it is most in line with Cao Mengde's wishes.

Anyway, if there is a chance, Cao Mengde will not have to save face. That Zhang Lu is a Taoist priest, and Zhao Yu is a true immortal in person, and he still bows his head? !

Zhao Yu said: "It's okay." ”

He said: "However, Hanzhong is not the Hanzhong of Zhang Lu's family. If something goes wrong in this and causes chaos in Hanzhong and destroys the people's livelihood, I am afraid that it is not what you want to see. ”

Cao Mengde nodded: "What Mr. said is true. I have also considered it with Wen Ruo and others. There have been families in Hanzhong who have secretly contacted me, but there are also stubborn ones. If Zhang Lu is willing to surrender, but these people are unwilling to surrender, Hanzhong will be in chaos. What they mean is that they can avoid hidden dangers to the greatest extent by fighting first, discounting the backbone of these people and then surrendering. ”

Zhao Yu bowed slightly: "This old man is a serious word." In this way, I will ask Zixu Lao Dao to go in person, he was originally the leader of the Taoist sect in Shuzhong, and he is close to Zhang Lu. There is Zixu Lao Dao who comes forward, and he is not afraid that Zhang Lu is unwilling to give up his rights. Let Zhang Lu stabilize Hanzhong first, and then let his stubborn people lead the troops into battle, you only need to drag it down, and Zhang Lu can let go of his hands and feet, so that he can get his wish. ”

Cao Mengde smiled happily: "I sent troops in two ways, all the way out of Guanzhong, and went straight to Nanzheng through the Bao ramp. All the way out of Nanyang, attack the east of Han..."

The two were talking about a refreshing time, and Guan Haifei came to report: "The owner, Cao Gong, Mr. Wenruo is here." ”

Zhao Yu and Cao Mengde were slightly stunned, and Zhao Yu said, "Go and invite Wen Ruo to come over." ”

Guan Hai responded, turned around and ran.

Zhao Yu said to Cao Mengde: "If Wen comes in person, is there something wrong?"

Cao Mengde pondered for a while, and there was a slight realization in his expression: "Or there is a change in the north." ”

After a while, Xun Yu walked briskly: "Lord, Mr. Zhao!"

"Wen Ruo doesn't have to be polite. Cao Mengde hurriedly said: "But there is a change in the north?"
