People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

Cao Jun is no match for Sun Cejun, so admit defeat.

Cao Cao originally wanted to fight to the death with Sun Ce.

But the subordinates felt that they couldn't beat it.

How can Cao Cao not feel cold?

"Ahem, my lord misunderstood.

Subordinates ask you to hand over iron, not to admit defeat.

It is a strategic surrender. "

Guo Jia coughed and said.

"A strategic surrender?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he said.

"Fengxiao details the future."

"promise."

Guo Jia responded and explained what he meant.

"At the beginning, there was turmoil in the Great Qin Dynasty, and uprisings occurred everywhere.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, knew that he was no match for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

So after entering Hanzhong.

The Lianyun Plank Road, the only channel connecting Hanzhong with the countries in the east, was burned.

Said that he had no intention of returning east, so Xiang Yu withdrew his troops with peace of mind.

No longer pay attention to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was able to develop with great concentration in Hanzhong.

In the end, Liu Bang's soldiers were strong and his horses were strong.

There is a lot of food and grass.

Defeated Xiang Yu and created the Han Dynasty.

Now the situation facing the lord is very similar to that of Liu Bang.

Sun Ce is worried about your development.

So he asked for compensation for Yanzhou's three-year iron production.

Makes you incapable of crafting weapons.

Why didn't the lord give it to Sun Ce.

Reassure Sun Ce.

How about some development time? "

After a pause, Guo Jia continued.

"The subordinates know that the lord is worried that all the iron will be given to Sun Ce.

Even if you gain time, you can't develop it.

But don't forget my lord.

You also have Gongshuyuan and Mojiayuan.

My lord can definitely order the Gongshu Institute and the Mohist Academy to study the technology to increase iron production.

Once successful.

While the lord meets Sun Ce's conditions.

And have more iron than ever before.

You will not encounter the trouble of not being able to make weapons without iron at all. "

When Cao Cao heard this, he remembered that he still had the Gongshuyuan and the Mojiayuan in his hand.

If Gongshujia and Mojiayuan can really research the technology to increase iron production.

Sun Ce's harsh conditions are completely acceptable.

Now Yanzhou produces around [-] jin of iron a year.

Three years is 30.

Assume that the new technology developed by the Public Transportation Institute and the Mohist Academy can produce one million catties of iron a year.

Then Cao Cao compensated Sun Ce for the iron he demanded.

There are still 70 catties left.

This is more than the iron in Yanzhou before.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had already accepted Sun Ce's conditions in his heart.

I don't want the fish to die and the net broken.

Chapter 572

"Feng Xiao, you are still smart.

Offered this trick to me.

Should be rewarded. "

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a smile on his face.

"Ahem, I can do my part for the lord and relieve my worries.

It is the greatest honor and gift of being a courtier.

Reward or not reward is not important.

But if the lord really wants to reward.

Just reward me ten beauties, and ten boxes of Feitian Moutai. "

Guo Jia coughed and said.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

Ten beauties, ten boxes of Feitian Moutai.

You are so welcome.

That's a lot of money.

But Guo Jia made great contributions.

Cao Cao said reluctantly.

"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the reward you want to your house tomorrow."

"Ahem, thank you, my lord."

Guo Jia coughed, a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Xun Yu and the others looked at Cao Cao with a smile on their faces.

Cao Cao did not disappoint at the critical moment.

I figured it out.

Do not start a war with Sun Ce for the time being.

This is good.

They will have developmental time.

"Call Zhang Jin here."

Cao Cao waved his hand.

Take orders from left and right to invite Zhang Jin.

"Mr. Cao has already made a decision?"

After Zhang Jin saluted Cao Cao slightly, he asked straight to the point.

"Well, I agreed to Sun Ce's conditions."

Cao Cao said lightly.

"Duke Cao is wise.

The people of Yanzhou should thank you.

Because of your decision, the people of Yanzhou do not have to face the crisis of war. "

Zhang Jin said with a smile.

"You can go back and return to life."

Cao Cao said lightly that he had no plan to keep Zhang Jin for dinner.

The main reason is Zhang Jin's arrogant attitude.

It made Cao Cao unhappy.

Naturally, he didn't want to keep Zhang Jin for dinner.

Zhang Jin completed the task and hurried back to report the good news to Sun Ce.

By the way, brush your own sense of existence.

Show off your abilities.

He also didn't intend to stay in Cao's mansion for dinner.

At that moment Zhang Jin responded.

"Since that's the case, so-and-so has resigned."
