Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140
"..."

After Cao Cao returned to his room, his heart was full of unrest.

He knew that he shouldn't doubt the counselors around him, but he just couldn't stop himself from being suspicious.

As for his brothers, after all, they have known each other for many years, even if Cao Chun was captured and released, he would still trust him.

But speaking of trust, Cao Cao temporarily put Cao Chun in an unimportant position, he needs time to observe.

But for these advisers and the children of the aristocratic family, even if they clearly showed their loyalty, he still couldn't believe too much.

Therefore, Cao Cao never delegated the right to make decisions. No matter what strategies Xun Yu and others proposed, he needed to judge.

This is an excellent quality that a monarch should have. In addition, Cao Cao has outstanding ability, so he can always make correct decisions compared to Yuan Shao. This is also the reason why many counselors turn to Cao Cao.

As long as the monarch can appoint talents, other shortcomings are not intolerable, and in their eyes, being suspicious is a quality that a hero should possess.

Cao Cao calmed down the emotional turmoil in his heart, and then began to carefully read the letter in his hand.

However, Cao Cao is a capable minister, but after all, his wisdom is far behind these counselors who were born with spiritual talents.

Jia Xu didn't say much in the letter, the most important core content is.

Qingzhou has already formed an alliance with Bingzhou. After the beginning of spring, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Heishan bandits will attack Yanzhou together.

At that time, Qingzhou will also use Xuzhou to attack Yanzhou together with Xuzhou.

The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more frightened he became. He didn't know why these advisers completely defined this information as fake news.

Moreover, Jia Xu mentioned Chen Gong in the letter.

Others didn't know, but he couldn't help but know that Chen Gong was quick to deal with him. If Qingzhou and Bingzhou really formed an alliance, Chen Gong might really drive Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou.

Moreover, there was indeed some communication between Qingzhou and Bingzhou before. This is not a secret. Cao Cao knew the news.

Cao Cao's expression was uncertain, he didn't know whether he should trust Xun Yu's judgment at this moment.

In the end, Cao Cao still decided that he would rather believe in what he has than believe in what he has not. It is impossible for him to gamble Chen Gong's conscience with his current foundation.

If it was before, he might not have done this, but Xi Zhicai's defeat made him realize that spiritually gifted counselors are not invincible, and they may also miss.

Every decision he has to make is his own responsibility.

Moreover, the children of these aristocratic families may not have no selfishness in their hearts.

In the last defeat, he lost Xiahoudun, Cao Chun, and Cheng Yu. Looking back now, none of those family members were dispatched.

Moreover, the aristocratic family encouraged them to test Taishan County, so there may not be no conspiracy in it.

The power of the Xun family, Wei family, and Chen family made him full of vigilance. It is good to have the support of these families, but if the proportion of people from these families is too large, then whether this Yanzhou believes in Cao or has other surnames? of.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not adopt Xun Yu's suggestion, but deployed heavy troops in the direction of Bingzhou and Xuzhou. Cao Ren and Cao Hong respectively dispatched Xia Houyuan and an army to settle in the direction of the Black Bandits in advance.

I took Cao Chun with me, and prepared to bring other civil and military soldiers to settle in the direction of Yanzhou after the spring.

No matter what time, Cao Cao always believed in himself.

……

"Hehehe, it seems that Cao Cao believed it when we mobilized troops in winter!" After Jia Xu saw the information about the caravan, he smiled and handed it over to Guo Jia.

"Suspicion is so severe, no wonder you will suffer from headaches in the future!" Guo Jia sneered twice.

Cao Cao's actions were completely within his and Jia Xu's expectations. To be honest, Xun Yu and others were indeed on par with them.

But who let them grasp the intelligence of Cao Cao and even Xun Yu and others in advance, which led to a complete unequal status between the two parties.

They were in the dark, and Xun Yu and the others were in the light. If they did their calculations intentionally or unintentionally, Xun Yu and the others would not have discovered Cao Cao's faults unless they suffered a big loss.

After all, in many cases, the essence of a person can only be determined after the test of time.

They have read their own biographies and recognized the historical records, so they believe that Cao Cao is also the same as the records.

Their series of strategies had only one meaning, that is to let Cao Cao take the initiative to divide his troops, so that after the spring, Guo Jia led the army to go straight to the counties and counties of Yanzhou.

"Are you sure we'd better do it before the spring plowing, if the spring plowing is delayed, it may affect agricultural production." Guo Jia raised the wine glass in his hand and asked rather distressed.

"Hmph, do you think we can cut Cao Cao to death at once?" Jia Xu put down the tea cup in her hand and asked seriously.

"It shouldn't be possible..." Guo Jia also put down the wine glass in his hand and said seriously.

Based on what they know about Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat him at once, especially when they have laid out such a large battle line.

But this time they will definitely be able to gnaw something from Yanzhou, but the inability to kill will eventually lead to hidden dangers.

"That's why I choose before spring plowing!" Jia Xu said rather gloomyly.

"You don't lose your reputation as a poisoner, but you don't worry about the emperor's reprimand?" Guo Jia understood.

Jia Xu's meaning is obvious, that is to drag Cao Cao to blow himself up. The Qingzhou family has a big business and can survive this year even without farming, but Cao Cao can't.

He wants to see if the Yanzhou family can spend all their wealth to help Cao Cao, especially in the case of Cao Cao's defeat, except for those thousand-year-old families, the remaining small and medium-sized families are nothing but grass.

When the courts are fighting against courtesy, they will support Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao falls into an absolute disadvantage, he might sell Cao Cao directly.

After all, it is not difficult to make a choice between the possibility of perishing in the future and immediate perishing now.

However, although Jia Xu's plan is effective, the problem is that such behavior will inevitably cause Yanzhou to starve for thousands of miles. Maybe many people in Yanzhou will die by then.

"Of course I will plead guilty to the emperor, Cao Mengde is the enemy, you should understand this!" Jia Xu's eyes showed deep fear.

Although the three families returned to Jin, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, was really not built.

Jia Xu is very afraid of it, for fear that it will explode like in history. What they want is a complete thirteen states, not the Central Plains that was directly smashed and even led to chaos in the records.

"Hey, when the time comes, I will advise the emperor to send soldiers to gather the refugees!" Guo Jia sighed, and did not continue to persuade Jia Xu. He knew that since Jia Xu had already shown his cards to him, he had already made pre-preparations.

His interference now will only destroy Jia Xu's plan. As the person in charge of the crusade against Yanzhou, Jia Xu's plan can indeed facilitate him to the greatest extent.

"Your words are enough!" Jia Xu nodded. He came to Guo Jia for a showdown, just to let Guo Jia take over the matter and recover some losses at that time.

Jia Xu now really understands why Mu Yi always talks about population being the most precious resource. Although they can plunder population from other worlds, it is all different after all.

When the population of other worlds is much greater than the local population, whose world is this land?

Besides, they need a ready-made labor force, and plundering the population from other worlds will be a matter of the future.

At least at this stage, it takes at least 15 years for a child to grow up, so young women and children who can immediately put into labor are very precious.

"What do you think about Xuzhou?" Guo Jia asked after pondering for a moment.

"Hehehe, don't worry, it's smoother than we thought." Jia Xu couldn't help smiling when he thought of the information he had collected.

"When Tao Qian was young, he was indeed worthy of the name of a hero. If Xuzhou's Danyang elite soldiers come out in full force, they don't need a commander, and it may be easy to defeat Cao Mengde spontaneously."

"But?" Guo Jia looked curious, this should be bad news, why Jia Xu smiled.

"One general is incompetent and tired the whole army to death, do you know who is the current No. [-] person in Xuzhou?" Jia Xu sneered twice.

"Who is it?" Guo Jia frowned.

"Cao Bao!" Jia Xu said with a sneer.

It never occurred to him that the Xuzhou aristocratic family had such fierce internal strife that it was possible for an idiot to become the No. [-] figure on the surface.

To be honest, Cao Bao is not an idiot, even this guy is a good hand of the Cao family in Xuzhou.

But the problem is, this guy may be very powerful in plotting and infighting, but he is a serious war commander who lives up to his name.

So after knowing that Cao Bao was the second-in-command, Jia Xu once even wanted to add fuel to the flames, and directly let Cao Cao reproduce the massacre of Xuzhou, and then Qingzhou would be able to take Yanzhou and Xuzhou without bloodshed.

But Jia Xu just thought about it, the matter of spring plowing can still be said, after all, there is no mercy in war.

But if he really pushed Cao Cao to slaughter Xuzhou, he could guarantee that Mu Yi would really sacrifice him to heaven.

Although he didn't think much about Mu Yi, just by seeing Mu Yi's frequent visits to the countryside, he could know his views on the people.

Mu Yi's big ship will go a long way, and Jia Xu doesn't want to jump off the ship halfway. He wants to use his own hands to push the big ship forward. He also wants to see where the ship can go in the future.

"Feng Xiao, drink less alcohol, have you indulged a bit too much recently, you seem a bit hypocritical!" Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia while speaking, and advised him sincerely.

"Wen He, don't be so rigid, you should be the most aware of the changes in us!" Guo Jia gulped down the fine wine in his hand with a smile.

This thing is fine wine made by fermenting tree fruits and grains together. It almost quickly occupied more than half of the fine wine market.

It has almost become the second specialty of Qingzhou's foreign sales, and it is crazily attracting money from all over the world. Even Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, the state shepherds, can't put it down.

"You!"

Jia Xu shook his head and didn't stop trying to persuade him anymore. Now that he has a star, his life will be extended by at least 50 years, and his health is extremely good. This is also the cost of Guo Jia's death.

"Carpe diem, come, come, Wenhe, drink this cup!"

"No, I still have something to do. Song Shijie still has things to deal with. You can enjoy yourself!" Jia Xu waved his hand.

Even though his life has been extended for several years, he still maintains a consistent style of health preservation. In his opinion, this fruit wine is not much different from tea.

"Report, Junshi Jia, we have found out what you ordered before. The boy named Yue Fei is currently in the Northern Expeditionary Army!"

When Jia Xu returned to Song Shijie, his subordinates came over immediately to deliver the news.

"Northern Expedition Army... It's also good to let them see the decay of the Song Army. After the Song Army and the Jin Army negotiate a peace, immediately send someone to invite this young hero!"

Jia Xu sneered twice, under his arrangement, Tong Guan, as expected, chose to cooperate with the Kingdom of Jin to attack the Kingdom of Liao.

If there is no accident, the land of Liao Kingdom that Song Jun spent a lot of money to win will probably be cheaper for them in the end.

"The disgusting and corrupt court, let's go to the coffin and rest in peace!"

"Jia Junshi, there is news from General Xiahou in Dongpu, it seems that the progress is not going well, and he wants to apply for reinforcements!"

Another subordinate passed the information to Jia Xu. Jia Xu frowned, but still planned to send some reinforcements to Xiahou Dun.

The two sides finally reached an agreement of intent, but he was a little surprised by the blocked progress. To be cautious, he still planned to continue to send some people to support.

"Send someone to find Governor Gan and ask him to bring someone to support General Xiahou!"

……

The peaceful life did not last long, and the crusade against Yanzhou and Xuzhou officially began as winter went to spring.

There are not a few materials that need to be prepared for dispatching troops, but fortunately, they have been prepared since years ago, so the transfer of materials has not attracted the attention of others.

Although it is the beginning of spring, the temperature is not very high, so the necessary leather and linen clothes are indispensable. If the transfer of these materials is concentrated at the same time, it is likely to alarm those who are interested.

There are not a few spies sent between states. Huang Tianji alone has marked nearly 500 people. These people are mixed in various regions to investigate news. Mu Yi and the others did not immediately remove them before, just to keep them to spread false news.

"Yuan Zhi has already set off, Feng Xiao, do you really think that starting the war before spring plowing is the best time?" Mu Yi frowned, looked at Xu Shu who was leaving in the distance, and looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement.

"Nature is the most suitable time. If we are lucky, we can still catch up with the spring plowing!"

Guo Jia's eyes flickered slightly. Although he and Jia Xu had passed their anger, he still couldn't calm down when facing Mu Yi's questioning.

"It always feels a little strange!"

Mu Yi frowned. When Jia Xu gave him advice, he went to discuss with Xu Shu. Xu Shu was surprised, but after thinking for a while, he agreed to the request to leave early.

After thinking for a while, Mu Yi still shook his head to get the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

As Guo Jia said, as long as they move fast enough, they can catch up with Chun Plow, and there is nothing strange about it.

Even if they can't keep up with the spring plowing, they don't have any problems opening warehouses to release grain. They have been operating Qingzhou for so long, so they still have some confidence.

"My lord, let's order the thieves to be arrested. It's time for them to spread the news." Guo Jia changed the subject.

"Well, Huang Tianji, according to the plan, we will arrest them with all our heart, and we must pass the information to Cao Cao!"
