Chapter 884: I don't know
Liu Yu has already given Jia Xu enough benefits. Accompanying the prince to study, in the current Han Dynasty, means that one of Jia Xu's sons has entered the core of power in the future court. As long as Liu Xuan himself doesn't die and doesn't do some messy things, for example, he can't hold back his ambitions and wants to replace his father, his position as the emperor's heir is very solid. Not to mention nonsense such as Liu Yu will have a better heir in the future, with Huang Die's current stable position as the queen of the main palace, she is both the eldest son and the son-in-law, plus Liu Xuan is very competitive, Wen Taowu is fine. Standing up and standing up are all taking a huge advantage. The crown prince Liu Xuan has long been recognized by the government and the opposition.
Jia Xu is clear in his heart, Liu Xuan's fiancée is Ma Chao's sister, and the Xiliang faction in Guanzhong is originally a scarcity of talents, Liu Yu did this to balance the forces of the DPRK and China, and at the same time, he also had a promise to let Jia Xu, an old fox, do things for him. If it weren't for Jia Xu's own daughter, he would have thought about whether to be in-laws with Liu Yu.
Undoubtedly, this made Jia Xu miss it.
With benefits, Jia Xu will do it desperately. Jia Xu is a person who either doesn't do it, or what he wants to do is to be the best. So Cao Cao is going to be unlucky.
Jia Xu began to use his brain with all his might, ready to teach Cao Cao a hard lesson.
A day later, Jia Xu had already planned a very good plan. Jia Xu felt that his plan was perfect.
And Cao Cao of Shouchun suddenly had a very bad feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
Cao Cao has not had a very good time these days, Yuzhou was destroyed by Zhang Fei, if it weren't for the help of Jiangdong, Yuzhou would be really sad this time. Yuzhou is still very rich in products, in the case of insufficient food, there are still a large number of fish and shrimp available, and the people will not be hungry. Cao Cao took the lead in tightening food and clothing, hoping that civil and military officials would follow suit, and at the same time donate his own money to subsidize the needs of the imperial court. Cao Cao's cronies naturally have no problem, everything they have is given by Cao Cao, and whatever Cao Cao says is what it is. But the forest is big, and all kinds of birds will have it. Loyal to Liu Xie, or Xungui who did not deal with Cao Cao, was unwilling. Of course, there is no problem with tightening clothes and food, the big guy usually has dozens of dishes for a meal, and it is reduced by half, and if you can have twenty dishes, you will eat it. Dressing and the like are indispensable, they are all officials of the imperial court, representing the face of the imperial court, so they can't be too shabby. These are all good things to say, the big guy saves a little and keeps it for future use. But you Cao Cao wants us to donate our own money and food? It's not beautiful, but it's beautiful.
Yuzhou is in a difficult situation now, it's because you, the prime minister, are not doing well enough, it's your responsibility, what do you have to do with me? The big guy's money and grain are not blown by the wind, which one is not a big business, a big expense, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain. So it's because you Cao Cheng didn't do his job well.
Besides, even if Yuzhou can't hold it, you Cao Cao will definitely die, but as long as we surrender to the king, there will still be great wealth and glory. At this time, when it comes to donations, two words, no way!
The above words, those who don't deal with Cao Cao can only think about it in their hearts. Really let them say it, unless their brains are broken and they are tired of living with their own family.
These people have adopted the four no's principle: not speaking, not agreeing, not opposing, and not acting. This made Cao Cao very helpless, these ministers did not cooperate, do you want Cao Cao to do it to those poor people, even if Cao Cao did that, how much can the people of Yuzhou support Yuzhou.
Cao Cao is ruthless, since you don't cooperate, Lone will cut off your income, so that you don't have any income.
But this trick didn't work, if these ministers could give in so easily, they wouldn't be so resolute.
This incident finally alarmed Liu Xie in the palace. Liu Xie saw that if this posture continued to expand, he would suffer in the end. The only one who can maintain his status as Emperor Liu Xie is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Xie will have no other to rely on, so he can only obediently step down from the emperor's throne.
Liu Xie, the emperor of Jian'an, immediately took measures and summoned several ministers who supported him into the palace, and bitterly expressed to them that he would support Cao Cao's policy. Liu Xie also said a lot, but I don't know if these ministers listened to it. Next, Liu Xie ordered to reduce the use of the palace, and also took out some of the property in the palace to support Cao Cao's decree with actions. The Son of Heaven has done this, and if the other ministers do not respond to Cao Cao's decree, then Cao Cao will do something to them in the future, and Liu Xie has nothing else to say. The ministers immediately returned to their homes, took out the money and food from their homes, and donated them to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could maintain its operation. When they took out the money and food, the faces of these ministers were as ugly as if their father had died. Maybe their own father didn't have such an ugly face when he died.
At the same time, the wealthy families throughout Shouchun automatically donated a lot of money and grain to the imperial court. It's just that it's not known whether they are voluntary or not. But according to reliable grapevine, some soldiers with knives came to their homes before the wealthy people made donations. After the second day, these wealthy people came out very enthusiastically to donate.
With such an income, Cao Cao could barely breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, the entire Yuzhou adopted fiscal austerity, and could barely transfer money and grain to prevent a possible attack from Liu Yu's side.
The problem of money and food has been initially resolved, but how to break the current deadlock is a big problem.
Cao Cao had already analyzed the situation around him. The north of Yuzhou is connected to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and a large number of fortifications have been built before, as long as this line of defense is held, it is simply wishful thinking for Liu Jun of Yanzhou and Xuzhou to break through.
Yuzhou borders Jiangdong to the south, and now Cao Cao and Jiangdong Sun Ce are united, and the biggest enemy in Jiangdong is Liu Yu, and in the Yangtze River, a life-and-death battle must be inevitable. Sun Ce urgently needed Cao Cao to give Jiangdong some help, so that he could keep Jiangdong from losing and not cause trouble to Cao Cao at all. So the south side can be assured. At least the current situation seems safe. But if Liu Yu fails in Jingzhou, Cao Cao must be cautious to prevent a treachery from Sun Ce's side. But Cao Cao also thought that if Liu Yu failed, Sun Ce's greatest possibility was to march into Jingzhou, seize Jingzhou in the upper reaches of Jiangdong, and make Jiangdong stronger, instead of fighting against him Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would not be so stupid.
Not to mention the east of Yuzhou, which is almost by the sea, Cao Cao is not worried about an enemy coming from the sea. Because the possibility of being able to attack from the sea is too low at the moment. In Cao Cao's consciousness, the ocean is a natural barrier.
Cao Cao was most worried about the southwest defense line of Yuzhou, and the biggest threat was the Liu army garrison in Runan.
According to the desperate investigation of Cao Cao's intelligence organization "Black Ice Platform", a large number of Liu Jun soldiers have been stationed in Runan County, and the main general is Jin Ma Chao, who is brave and good at fighting, and Sima Yi, who originally assisted Zhao Zilong in Yanzhou, as well as various fierce generals and warriors. With such a great power in Runan, Cao Cao didn't worry about it.
Ma Chao is an opponent that Cao Cao is very familiar with. This person is simply a madman when he fights, and if he is killed in Yuzhou, the entire Yuzhou will suffer heavy losses. And Sima Yi, a young man, Cao Cao also knows something. The Sima family in Hedong is a talented family, and Sima Yi shows that he is the most outstanding talent of the Sima family in terms of intelligence. Cao Cao didn't dare to underestimate this Sima Yi, often these young people would have some unexpected strategies, so that Cao Cao, a scheming traitor, would suffer.
Not to mention that there may be fierce generals like Zhang Fei hidden in Runan, especially Zhang Fei, if Cao Cao can catch him now, he will immediately break Zhang Fei's body into ten thousand pieces. The last time he invaded Yuzhou, he took away the most beautiful flower of Xiahou's family. became Cao Cao's relative for no reason, Cao Cao didn't want to suffer this dumb loss, and always wanted to give Zhang Fei a good look.
In fact, occupying Runan was indeed the greatest achievement of Liu Jun, which directly cut off all the possibilities of Cao Cao's march into Nanyang and Yingchuan. made all Cao Cao's previous plans fail, and wasted a lot of vital power in vain.
Stealing chickens and rice is not enough, and Runan has now become a huge threat. Cao Cao had to put the focus of defense in the southwest direction, and let Xiahou Yuan lead the heavy army to deploy the defense, intending to arrange a very strong defense line like the defense in the north.
"I didn't expect that Lone would fall to the point of sticking to Yuzhou. Once upon a time, it was so majestic to be alone in the Central Plains, but now it is controlled by people everywhere, which is really a trick to make people. Cao Cao laughed at himself in front of all his subordinates.
Cao Cao lamented his situation, which made his subordinate Wenwu very ashamed.
Especially Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other strategists, they are all first-class in terms of ability, and their wisdom is profound, but they have failed again and again. Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others are also among the top generals in the world. But he has always been pressed and beaten by the generals on Liu Yu's side. Cao Cao's current situation has a lot to do with them.
"Lord, why do you have to do this? Now we are not at the end of the mountain. As long as Jiangdong can give Liu Yu a ruthless blow this time, then the situation will begin to reverse. Our army will be able to re-enter the Central Plains and fight Liu Yu. As Xun Yu, who was called "my son's room" by Cao Cao, Xun Yu's mother immediately came out to strengthen Cao Cao's confidence.
"Wen Ruo is right, if the lord is discouraged. Then Liu Yu was happy. He now wishes that the lord would lose confidence, so that he could easily take Yuzhou. Guo Jia was caught off guard and echoed Xun Yu beside him.
As soon as Liu Yu was mentioned, Cao Cao came to the spirit. After so many years, Liu Yu and Cao Cao have too much to do with each other, originally Cao Cao and Liu Yu had a very good relationship, Cao Cao's strength was steadily better than Liu Yu at the beginning, but now he was pressed upside down by Liu Yu, this anger, Cao Cao is not convinced.
"Loneliness is also a feeling. In this case, how will Lone break the situation next? Cao Cao's spirit changed, and his whole person began to regain his desire to fight.
This kind of Cao Cao is what Guo Jia wants to see, and the big guy will follow Cao Cao's side because of Cao Cao's strong personality charm and willpower.
"Lord, since Jiangdong has come to ask us to help deal with Liu Yu with them, we can't help but make a move." Xun You said loudly.
"That's what I said. But how is our army going to do it now? How can we ensure that Liu Yu's side is also calculating us? "Xiahou Yuan, as a general, is most concerned about whether he can win, and he has also had a shadow on Liu Yu over the years.
Endless conspiracies, specifically aimed at Cao Cao, led to Cao Cao's defeat all the way to this point today.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "If Liu Yu is not counted as the lord, unless the lord surrenders to Liu Yu now." ”
Including Cao Cao, everyone laughed. Xiahou Yuan was also ashamed of the stupid thing he said.
"My lord, what our army is worried about is none other than Runan. Ma Chao's army was stationed in Runan, undoubtedly to block our army's plan to raid Nanyang and Yingchuan in Runan, and at the same time to be able to attack our army at any time. In the next suggestion, the lord should tend to the real and avoid the false, concentrate his forces, and kill Xu Yan Erzhou as quickly as possible. Taking these two states is undoubtedly scraping a big piece of meat on Liu Yu. Xun Yu suggested.
"Tell me more!" Cao Cao was obviously interested.
Xun Yu was obviously prepared, and said directly: "Liu Yu gathered a large army in Jingzhou, and arranged a large number of soldiers and horses to be stationed in Runan to threaten our army, and at the same time protect his safety in Jingzhou, then the troops in Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be much less." This is our army's chance. ”
Such reasons are not convincing to others.
"Wen Ruo, have you ever thought that Liu Yu may have already set up defenses in these two places. Just waiting for us to enter. Guo Jia said worriedly.
But Xun Yu didn't think so, and said with a smile: "If we keep looking ahead and backward, then we will wait for Liu Yu to come and beat us." What a difference between this and sitting still. And Liu Yu was about to break Jiangdong. If the lord had waited for that time to make a move, it would have been too late. ”
Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with this statement. Everyone else is recognized. It's impossible for Cao Jun's side to stop because of some previous failures.
"Wen Ruo's idea is very good. But if you don't want to attack Yanzhou and Xuzhou, you still need to discuss it. "Cao Cao still needs to be cautious.
"The lord is wise!" Everyone present replied.
Cao Cao did not speak lightly of failure, nor did he back down. He was about to launch a large-scale attack on Liu Yu.
But Cao Cao didn't know that Liu Yu had already arranged for a vicious person to make trouble for him.
