Chapter 783 - You can take Hanoi first

"Anyway, what do you think of the warm winter?" Wang Yong's eyes were a little stinging, and Cao Cao quickly changed the topic.

"It's good that fewer people can freeze to death, in a sense. Especially during this time, there are a lot of displaced people from Hebei and Guanzhong, and it seems that there are also many people from Jiangdong who go north......" Wang Yong thought about it.

"I'm not talking about this problem...... Cao Cao pursed his lips, "I mean, there may be a locust plague next year." And because of the weather, it is very likely that the autumn harvest will be reduced to a certain extent in a month. ”

"Reduced production is bound to be reduced, after all, we have invested in improving the river and repairing and expanding the aqueduct this year, and in the final analysis, we have not invested enough in the irrigation system. To a large extent, this year's funds have been used as military spending. Wang Yong replied.

After a pause, he continued: "As for locusts, it doesn't matter, some guys who used to be addicted to locusts seem to have begun to consider whether to raise locusts artificially. ”

This is no joke, after the locust plague, the price of locusts began to rise, after all, the cost of catching wild locusts is not ordinarily high. Not to mention that it is difficult to catch, the key is not enough to eat, and some people have begun to consider whether to artificially breed locusts to meet the needs of diners.

"The locust dishes developed to solve the locust plague back then, I didn't expect it to have developed into a system......" Cao Cao was also speechless, of course, if the locusts were fried, she felt that the taste was ...... It seems to be okay too.

During the critical period, Xiahou Dunbu took a large amount of locust powder, and the quality of the soldiers was greatly improved. However, the follow-up locust powder couldn't keep up, so after negotiation, it was changed to a cup of soy milk every day. In fact, milk may be better and can supplement some calcium, but the price is obviously too high to be purchased as a military supply.

"Anyway...... Doesn't it seem like it happened three or four years ago? Cao Pi interjected, why do you have to say what happened three or four years ago as if it had been a long time?

"I don't think the little kid understands this kind of emotion......," Wang Yong teased.

"You seem to be in your twenties, too!" Cao Pi pushed back, "Not a few years older than me!" ”

"No, no, no, I suspect you're only three years old." Wang Yong complained.

"I think you're more like a child! He still acts like an old man, but he has to deal with a young man like me! Cao Pi directly made a big killing move.

"Ahem...... Pi'er ...... It's tea time, and I don't want any arguments that would make the tea unpalatable. Cao Cao reminded beside him, and then slowly picked up the teacup.

"So...... Mother, take a good look at the documents when you have time, I'll go back first. "Cao Pi obviously came to hand in the documents before, and then came to help or something, but now there is no reason to stay, so he simply said goodbye and left.

"She's not like this at home or outside, why do you have to quarrel every time she meets you?" Cao Cao sighed, why is it Wang Yong.

"'Outsiders' and 'mother's remarriage partners' will certainly not be treated the same." Wang Yong was helpless, "After the tax rate was changed, the imperial court's revenue increased, and perhaps after the autumn harvest, while winter has not yet come, or the land is not so hard in the warm winter, it can launch conscription for infrastructure ......."

"Your proposal is good, but the question is...... Are you okay with that? Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong.

"I've recently been able to control my mind a little bit and not let it diverge. No, what do you ask me, I think, not just think aimlessly. Moreover, think at most to the next step, and not think too much. Wang Yong replied that he had done a good job of controlling his emotions.

"Since you're okay, I'm relieved." Cao Cao nodded, "What I'm thinking about now is not the issue of infrastructure. Yuan Shao's thoughts, there is one place I really care about, that is Hanoi County! ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "If I remember correctly, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang does not seem to have surrendered to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao wanted to launch an attack from Hanoi, Wang Kuang probably wouldn't be able to bypass it. ”

"According to history, the lord has already taken Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Shi Lian to attack Hanoi. But the side effect of crossing over into this world is that Hanoi hasn't taken it yet. In fact, considering the safety of Sizhou, it is better to take Hanoi down. As for why Yuan Shao still wanted to attack...... That's probably why they don't have enough food. Wang Yong began to think, and then raised his head and replied after a while.

"I see, so is what I said." Cao Cao thought a little when he heard this, and then he understood. Yuan Shao is short of food, but Wang Kuang's side is estimated to have food. Yuan Shao attacked Hanoi and happened to get a certain amount of supplies locally. It is estimated that Wang Kuang would not have thought that Yuan Shao would send troops to Hanoi, and it would be too late to clear the wall.

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao goes south, then she will definitely be strong and clear, and she may not be able to get food.

In this case, it is all the more necessary to attack Hanoi...... The Yanzhou Legion could be secretly transferred to the area around Guandu to garrison, and at the same time send Li Dian and Le Jin to command the troops, and bring Cao Xiu's cavalry troops to attack Hanoi County...... Do you think it would be better to let the defenders of Nam Duong go north to attack Hanoi County? Cao Cao thought for a moment.

"Lord, I'm just a cook." Wang Yong felt that the next question was not the question he should answer.

"Discuss with me privately, Ang'er has been stationed in Nanyang for a while, but there is basically no movement on Liu Biao's side. Go on, then he's just going to be there for a long time......" Cao Cao said in a low voice.

The meaning is very clear, that is, she intends to use this opportunity to let Cao Ang brush up on a wave of military exploits. After all, now the imperial court is the imperial court, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, even if Cao Ang is Cao Cao's son, he must abide by the rules, and he can't be promoted if he is promoted.

If you don't have military merits, even if you have enough resume, you have to rank behind military merits. This is the conclusion reached after a group of civil servants and military generals after a day of discussion. The imperial court's emphasis on military merit was restored to motivate soldiers to fight bravely abroad.

"It's just that if Cao Ang goes north, then the military and the government will be separated...... Wang Yong reminded.

The separation of military and political affairs in the imperial court was mainly aimed at the existing control area, but there was one special place, that is, Nanyang County. It was subordinate to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was not within the scope of the experiment, so Cao Ang was in charge of Nanyang's military and political power as Nanyang's Taishou.

If he goes north to crusade against Wang Kuang, not to mention the risks of the war itself, the key is that Cao Ang will definitely not be able to control the military and government together.

"That's why I need to talk to you." Cao Cao naturally knew this.

"Young man, you really still have to have more experience, don't you? It's not decent to always be under the wing of your mother. Wang Yong replied.

"Okay, let him be in command, and after conquering Hanoi County, let him merge into the Yanzhou Army and guard that side. This also means that I have to arrange another garrison in Nanyang, as well as a new Taishou. Cao Cao made a decision immediately.

"The lord is going to send troops to Hanoi?" Wang Yong was curious.

"Uh...... I won't go, but after the autumn harvest, I can transfer troops to take Hanoi down first. Cao Cao said confidently.
