Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 675
"Then Liaodong..."

Mr. Wang's first sentence fully exposed his "small business" consciousness, clinging to the old market, and refused to open up the "new market" bravely, but!This time Mr. Cao's head was squeezed by the door, he nodded without hesitation.

"It's still under your command!"

This is a bit of a joke, independent warlords, the territory under their control has spread from Liaodong to Guanzhong, and Wang Hou is even more powerful than the Xiongnu!After all, the Huns couldn't get their hands on Guanzhong even during the Huns period!In terms of power, I am afraid that in the Han Empire, apart from Cao Cao, he is Wang Hou, and his ruling territory is even incomparable to Liu Bei's Shu Kingdom in its heyday.

Cao Cao's head was really caught by the door?Take the initiative to give him such great power!

However, such a great power was not given for nothing, Cao Cao changed his tone, and expressed his request again.

"It is not for nothing that the truth appoints you as Guanzhong Daxingtai, in charge of Guanzhong's military affairs. Han Sui and Ma Chao are two rebels. You must bring their heads to the truth. Liangzhou must be put down!"

"And the truth gives you three years. These days, you have been there to mourn the spring and autumn and say that the Zhengguo Canal is depleted! In three years, you have to rebuild the Zhengguo Canal! Re-irrigate the eight hundred li pass. In the third year, at least 50 shi of grain will be paid to Yecheng!"

"Three years, 50 shi of grain! My father-in-law! It took ten years to build the Zhengguo Canal with all the strength of the Qin State! Now that the population of Guanzhong is withered, I am afraid that even 50 people are gone! You again You want your son-in-law to fight wars, and you want your son-in-law to plow the fields, don't you make things difficult for your son-in-law?"

That face was almost stretched into a sausage, as if paying back the flowers at the beginning of the month, Wang Hou begged me very sadly, but unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't ask him to come here to reason with him, with a gloomy face, Mr. Cao is particularly domineering CEO hummed.

"Miaocai leads an army of [-] troops, stationed in Chang'an, to help you defend! In addition, the truth appoints your old subordinate Sima Zhongda as the governor of Yongzhou, at your disposal!"

"The truth is just embarrassing you, Wang Tuqiu! There is no reason! It must be done for the truth! Otherwise, the truth will make you look good!"

Still helping?Xia Houyuan's 1 people are watching him, and they are also his old subordinates. Sima Yi is not willing to be subordinated to others. When Wang Hou was in Qingzhou, the two were already in harmony!Cao Cao's transfer of him to Yongzhou as his subordinate is also a constraint on him, and it looks like he has to manage the military pay and food expenses of Xia Houyuan, the ten thousand Central Army.

With bitterness in his mouth, Wang Hou asked again in a low voice sadly.

"Ah! Father, dare to ask, the one who recommends the younger son-in-law is Dr. Jia Xu?"

"It's your subordinate, Sima Yi, the governor of Yongzhou. Jia Xu persuaded the truth before the truth was decided. You Wang Tu begged the people who guarded the frontier, how could you give the two states the whole world! But you, Wang Hou, are the son-in-law of Cao Mengde, old man I believe in the Red Festival, and I believe in you too! So, do a good job for this old man!"

Seeing Cao Cao's good looks like our two brothers, the same expression as the manager of later generations when he patted himself on the shoulder and asked him to achieve how much performance, Wang Hou vomited blood even more.

Who said Cao Cao is old?Who said that Cao Cao's ambition faded after the Chibi War?He is taking a big gamble!
Don't look at the Battle of Weinan, which wiped out the [-] troops of the Guanzhong Allied Forces, and Ma Chao ran away with his head in his arms, but the situation in the Northwest is very complicated!

Here I would like to thank Emperor Guangwu for his excellent policy of old scumbags. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty established Luoyang as the capital, the western border of the empire has allowed the Western Qiang, Di people and Huns to enter the empire to engage in farming. The good thing about this policy is that it has promoted ethnic integration. The spread of Han culture, but now it is completely bad. The population of Liangzhou is still relatively affluent, and the number of Han people is only half!Yongzhou Guanzhong is better, because the warlords have been fighting for years, and those who can escape have fled to Guandong.

In particular, Yongzhou in Guanzhong actually only included the cities of Xi’an, Baoji, Weinan, Tongchuan, and Xianyang in Shaanxi in later generations, and Yan’an and Yulin on the Loess Plateau to the north, including a part of Gansu in later generations. At this time, it has become an autonomous region of Xiqiang. It's almost out of tune and out of tune!

Then there is Liangzhou, which is about the same outline as Gansu in later generations. The whole is the famous Hexi Corridor, a narrow strip sandwiched between two mountains. Ma Chao and Han Sui have been operating here for many years. It is not comparable to Wang Hou, an outsider.

These are threats from the north, from the south, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not a friend of Wang Hou, and further south, after the rise of brother Zhuge, he will have to attack him.

and!In later generations, Shaanxi's agricultural production ranks last in the country. It is said that Qinchuan is [-] miles away. To be honest, I have actually walked here. The land here is not as fertile as the cultivated land he obtained by the Liaohe River!Not to mention the Montenegro country that already belongs to the Songnen Plain in the black soil belt.

It can be said that the area of ​​Guanzhong is also quite tasteless. In the place of the Fourth World War, the output of goods is just the same. The only advantage is that the tiger occupies an important traffic point on the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and Qinchuan is in the east to suppress the Guandong. It goes through Hanzhong in the southwest and reaches Bashu, and goes out of Wuguan in the southeast to approach Jingzhou. The strategic position is extremely important, and it has a little advantage.

However, it is of no use to Wang Hou!He didn't have the ambition of dominating the world, he just wanted to do business honestly to make money, be a simple and unpretentious man, the number one rich man, and live the boring life of a rich man.

That's why Cao Cao gave him the position of Daxingtai in Guanzhong!If he went to pacify Kansai by himself, he would need at least [-] troops to guard him. A million grains and salaries would be light, and he might have to fight for several years, costing tens of millions of salaries. More importantly, it would be equivalent to dragging Cao Han in a The embarrassing state of fighting on two fronts. In history, it was so difficult for Cao Wei to unify the world. It was also because of the two fronts. The western front continued to fight with Prime Minister Zhuge. Ruxukou, who wanted to find a place, also fought three times.

That’s right, the center line was also rushed by Guan Yu. If it wasn’t for Liu Bei’s diplomatic problems, the ally of Soochow would start stabbing him in the back. Cao Cao almost gave up Yingchuan and other places and moved Han Xiandi and his capital to Ye The city took refuge.

But now, to hand over Guanzhong to Wang Hou, the first thing is to rest assured, not to mention the relationship between Wang Hou and his in-laws, only from the mountain goods store in Liaodong, the grassland specialty store opened from Qingzhou to the west to the front of Tongguan, and there are horses and chariots. From wood for bed boats, to small pots and pans, soy sauce and tea leaves, almost all the business in the northern part of the Han Dynasty was monopolized by Wang Hou.

This is enough to reassure Cao Cao. Unlike the Xiongnu, Liaodong and Guanzhong are too closely connected. If this kid really dares to provoke, Cao Cao will close the border. Without the source of business in the mainland, he can't hold back for a few months. Dirty and greedy big capitalists are going crazy, so naturally Wang Hou can't sit still and has to be kicked out.

This is also Sima Yi who came up with the idea. He didn't feel at ease. The bigger the territory, the better. From Wang Hou's hometown in Liaodong to Guanzhong, if it takes three months on foot, it takes one month to ride a horse and lightly pack. Wang Hou's rule is more difficult than The difficulty of ruling the huge Han Empire is also limited, which is tantamount to dividing Wang Hou's power.

Not to mention driving the ducks to the shelves, and asking Wang Hou to repair the Zhengguo Canal, and then to pay tribute to Yecheng. These are all purely consuming Liaodong's strength to enrich himself.

Another point, is it possible that this kid Wang Hou is really a blockbuster, occupying the main road of Guanzhong Ferye, punching Ma Chao and Han Sui, kicking Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and really becoming the overlord of one party?

This possibility is too high, so Cao Cao is betting on this point, betting that he is more talented than this lazy boy. In the bag, he will dominate the universe. When the time comes, the entire Han Empire will be in his hands, and he doesn't care about the bitter cold frontier occupied by Wang Hou.

"Going back to the prime minister, there is no reason, but you asked Xiaoxu to guard the western border for you, can you meet a few conditions?"

"Say!"

"Don't kill Ma Teng's family! Give it to my son-in-law!"

Wang Hou can't compete directly with the popularity among the Qiang people and the Di people, but he can use the corpse to revive his soul!Isn't Ma Teng famous?Let him stand by his side as a display in the name of crusade against unfilial sons, and Liangzhou will be much more peaceful!
Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate at this point. Ma Chao didn't kill Ma Teng if he rebelled, but he lost his dignity. Wouldn't this encourage the generals to rebel?
However, compared with Wang Hou jumping out to top the cylinder, the political loss caused by this is very small, so after thinking about it for only two or three seconds, Cao Cao readily agreed.

"Can!"

"Second point, if the people who fled from the Kansai to the Kanto and were incorporated into the army and the people are willing to return to their hometowns, the prime minister must also let them go!"

"This……"

"Father, Liaodong has a population of less than 50, Guanzhong has a population of less than 30, and nearly half of Liangzhou is Qiang people. They don't farm and have no population! Even if you kill your son-in-law now, I won't be able to dig the Zhengguo Canal in three years. Not to mention 50 shi of grain!"

Immediately, he became like Grandet with a mournful face, and Wang Hou yelled aggrieved in a particularly sad way. Finally, seeing Mr. Cao helplessly, he slapped him.

"Can!"

"make a deal!"

Although he agreed resoundingly, but while gnashing his teeth, Wang Hou's flesh-pained appearance did not look like he had just become the first official of the Han Empire. On the contrary, it was as if he had made a loss-making business. trembling.It can be seen that Xia Houyuan, who guards Chang'an next to him and is one level shorter than him, has the intention of slapping them both!

That's Guanzhong Daxingtai, and the military and political encyclopedia single-handedly grasps the senior officials in charge of the two states!This pretentious grandson!
