Prime Minister's House.

The employees of the Cao Group in Xuchang gathered here, and Cao Cao's face was almost dripping.

"It's so ruthless!"

Cao Cao slapped the cloth strip on the table.

Xun Yu sighed, with a thick worry on his face: "I'm afraid that this time Yuan Shao is going to tear his face." "

"The salt of the thirteen states is all produced in Qingzhou, and now Yuan Shao has sent troops to directly block the six transportation routes and cut off our salt road!"

Xun Yu gritted his teeth and said, "This is not only a sanction for the army, but even the people will not let go!"

Cheng Yu, who knew a little about medicine, frowned into Sichuan characters and said: "Once people lose salt, they will become weak, and over time, let alone the people, even the indomitable warriors can't bear it!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and looked extremely embarrassed.

He thought of a poisonous salt scheme to delay the fighter, who expected that Yuan Shao would also counter a wave on the same thing.

"For now, the only way to do this is to requisition all the stocks of Xuchang salt dealers first. "

"I just don't know how much they still have on hand..."

Jia Xu did not dare to speculate, in order to open the salt line in Qingzhou, he only used one day to purchase a large amount of salt in Xuchang, and now these refined refined salts have been sent to Qingzhou.

Cao Hong reported the situation directly: "The army's salt supply can still last about half a month. "

"The army cannot be considered now. "

Cao Cao rubbed his temples and said, "Once the salt supply is lost, the people will be in chaos." "

Once the salt supply cannot keep up, the price of salt will skyrocket, and even in the end, there will be no salt to sell.

Over time, either the people moved, or there was turmoil.

Either way, it was a disaster for Xu Chang.

Everyone present could anticipate the consequences, and the atmosphere of the entire hall became extremely solemn for a while.

"Is there a way for you to turn things around?"

Cao Cao's gaze swept over the group of Wen Chen martial generals, and he asked, "Haven't Fengxiao and Xuan Immortal arrived yet?"

"Xu Chu went to inform them, it should be soon. "

Xun Yu replied, and after a slight pause, said: "The other princes may not have received the news yet, we can order people to go to the prefectures to rush to buy some salt back, at least to alleviate the current crisis." "

"It's a way to do it. "

At this time, Guo Yun, Guo Jia and Xu Chu also arrived, and when they entered the house, Yu Ban roughly elaborated.

"But this is always a palliative, not a cure, and it will offend other princes." "

Guo Jia was worried: "At that time, if Yuan Shao unites with Liu Zhang, Liu Biao and others to attack us in a coordinated manner, I am afraid that the situation will become even worse..."

"Is there a way to smuggle from Qingzhou?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and proposed: "If you take the mountains and forests, without taking the official road, Yuan Shao can't even block the mountains and forests, right?"

"Without transport equipment, how much can you carry by manpower alone?"

Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

When everyone heard this, they fell silent again.

Cao Cao's gaze fixed on Guo Yun, seeing his pensive look, he did not open his mouth to disturb him: "Miaocai, you are responsible for going to the prefectures to buy salt." "

"Wen Ruo, Gongda, how much food and grass do we have today?"

"Can you support the Northern Expedition?!"

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head: "If you raise troops for the Northern Expedition, you can only support the army for sixteen days of food and grass at most..."

"Is it only sixteen days?"

Cao Cao sighed, the sixteenth day of grain and grass was meaningless.

The army is completely different from the concept of riding a gallop, and if you travel day and night, Xuchang will take no more than ten days to Qingzhou.

But the army can be raised, and the time is at least nearly doubled.

Once there is a weather problem, the delay is longer.

That is to say, even if Cao Cao wanted to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, there was no way, the army had not yet reached Qingzhou, and I was afraid that most of them would starve to death on the way.

In this way, Cao Cao did not even have a chance to break the cauldron and sink the boat.

All kinds of methods are drinking to quench thirst, which does not play a substantial role.

"Xuan Xian, do you have any other opinion?!"

Cao Cao finally couldn't help but ask.

Everyone looked at Guo Yun, who had been frowning and thinking.

"Wait, right away!"

Guo Yun waved his hand and continued to show a pensive look.

"Is even Xuan Immortal helpless?"

Cao Cao felt a splitting headache.

"Lord..."

Guo Jia snorted worriedly, and saw Cao Cao wave his hand and gesture: "When the manpower is finally exhausted, I understand." "

"For now, it can only be carried out in three directions. "

Guo Jia unified the proposed regulation of all parties:

"First, the states buy salt. "

"Second, double the vinegar cloth to prevent salt from breaking. "

"Third, send some soldiers disguised as ordinary people and enter Qingzhou to try manpower transportation. "

"As long as we get to the first corn harvest, we will have enough military food to expedition to Yuan Shao!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded: "Just follow the method of filial piety..."

"Done!"

At this time, Guo Yun suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to bother so much, I have a way to solve the salt problem!"

"Since Yuan Shao wants to blockade Qingzhou, then let's take over his salt business!"

Hearing this, the martial generals of the Wen Chen Dynasty looked at Guo Yun with wide eyes.

Cao Cao stood up directly and said excitedly: "Xuan Xian, what is the plan?!"

"Isn't it only Qingzhou that produces salt, but also in Guanzhong?"

As soon as these words came out, the mood of the entire hall was like going straight from heaven to hell, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

Cao Cao: "(.) _。 )"

Guo Jia: "" (╯_╰)

Xun Yu: "(⊙〈⊙)"

"Xuan Xian, there are salt pans in Guanzhong, but they are highly toxic and cannot be eaten at all. "

Jia Xu, who was responsible for the 'poisonous salt', was clearly ruthless, and said with a long sigh: "It's normal that you don't know, after all, there is cholera in Guanzhong, there are too many homeless bandits, and the news is relatively closed..."

"Xuan Xian, you don't have to blame yourself. "

Cao Cao was in such a headache, and also said to comfort Guo Yun, which shows that Guo Yun's position in his heart is important.

"No, Master, you are mistaken. "

Guo Yun thought for a while and said: "When the eldest brother used the 'poisonous salt' plan before, I studied the poisonous salt in the pass, in fact, it is very simple, only two more steps in the process of refining refined salt can reduce the toxicity and harm... It should be lower than the air-dried salt in Qingzhou. "

Guo Jia: "T_T"

"Huh?"

"Lord, please believe me anyway, I really don't like men!"

“......"

Guo Yun shivered in the face of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"
