Cao Cao is a tyrant and prefers to take the initiative.

has been restrained by Zhang Yu many times, and this time he already plans to take the initiative and take the initiative.

Cao Cao studied the map, wrote and drew on it.

After thinking about it for a night, Cao Cao went to rest very late.

With a mature idea, Cao Cao called Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Man Pang.

"Now that our soldiers and horses are strong and we can concentrate superior forces, I plan to continue to attack Jizhou and wipe out the Yuan family in Jizhou, and now the Yuan army has been recovering, and has been recruiting soldiers and horses, we can't give them too much time, otherwise they will have to pay a big price in the future."

Cao Cao had already made up his mind in his tone, and after thinking for a while, the three strategists said to Manpang: "Lord, this Yuan group has recovered some vitality after cultivation, and it can't be defeated quickly, if Zhang Yu drags his feet at this time, there will be unexpected situations, and his subordinates think that Sun Ce has to cooperate in Jiangdong." ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and asked Sun Ce to cooperate, that is to give benefits, Sun Ce is not that he wants the other party to cooperate with the other party.

"We can't help Sun Ce recapture the Poyang Lake area, I'm afraid we won't necessarily give what they want." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu took over and said: "My lord, if you want Sun Ce to cooperate vigorously, it is impossible not to give enough benefits, and they may not want to see us develop." Maintaining a balance between the three parties is definitely what Sun Ce wants to see. ”

"But Sun Ce must also have a lot of internal problems, why don't we send someone to talk, it's going to be autumn soon, we are not well prepared, and we will only be able to fight after the beginning of spring next year."

Cao Cao nodded silently, and couldn't help but play with the teacup with his hand.

He silently took another sip of tea and said: "No matter whether Sun Ce can cooperate or not, this battle will be fought, our total territory is equivalent to three states, but Zhang Yuming has four states on his face, plus a large number of overseas regions, if we continue to develop, we will be thrown away sooner or later." ”

The contrast of strength is obvious, and on the turf, Zhang Yu already has enough advantages.

Counting the territory, Zhang Yu's territory is already larger than theirs, the population is larger than theirs, and the talent is about to surpass them.

All things are counted, if Zhang Yu's forces can be integrated, they will be far behind in the future.

Seeing that Cao Cao had made such a big determination, then they could only provide Cao Cao with a plan and give Cao Cao advice.

Xun Yu said: "Lord, our current money and grain are obviously not good to support the big war of five or six hundred thousand troops, there is still half a year to prepare, and the autumn harvest is also underway, but the gap will also be very large." ”

Xun Yu is a good hand at managing internal affairs, but he can't conjure up a lot of money and food out of thin air.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Cao Cao frowned, then asked.

Xun Yu said: "It's no longer appropriate to raise money from the family, otherwise they will definitely ask the eldest prince to give up cultivating civilian talents, and they will make it difficult in many ways, but they can raise funds from other aspects." ”

Cao Cao was silent, drinking tea and waiting for Xun Yu's answer.

Xun Yu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Conventional means, you can collect taxes in advance, and next year's taxes will be collected in advance, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, but it is acceptable, and the unconventional way is to forcibly occupy some people's property." ”

It is rare for Xun Yu to come up with some unconventional practices, and it is obviously not possible to ask him to propose more excessive practices.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "It's a good way to collect taxes in advance, but this will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the enemy, according to Zhang Yu's vigilance, I'm afraid we will guess our purpose, but there is a way to make Zhang Yu less concerned?" ”

Everyone is in trouble again, they must prepare in advance, and they must collect the money in advance, otherwise they will not be able to do anything.

But if it is in advance, Zhang Yu and the Yuan family will prepare in advance.

Cheng Yu said: "Now, grand strategy, we can no longer deceive the opponent, no matter who it is, only tactically can we deceive the opponent, we are prepared to increase the number of troops, this is a normal practice, as long as the time comes, we can tactically deceive the opponent." ”

"Even if it is the time, strength, scale, etc. of the attack, it can make the enemy make a wrong judgment, therefore, lord, we should prepare now, and we don't need to think about what Zhang Yu and the Yuan family will think."

Cheng Yu analyzed it, which made Cao Cao mouth pause, so he said: "Okay, Xun Yu, you prepare immediately and collect taxes as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yu was able to raise taxes because the tax rate itself was not very high, and the territory he controlled was rich, so the impact of the tax increase was not very large.

However, Cao Cao's original tax rate was much higher, so they could not continue to raise taxes, not increase taxes, and use the practice of collecting taxes in advance.

This practice will certainly cause dissatisfaction among the people, but Cao Cao did not exercise any harsh government, and the occasional tax increase or two will not cause any chaos.

After Cao Cao decided, let Xun Yu go down to prepare first.

After Xun Yu left, Cao Cao said: "Xun Yu is too upright, there are actually many unconventional methods, what can you do?" ”

Man Pang said: "My lord, some half-hearted families can knock and knock and release the rumor of liquidation, and some people will cooperate." ”

This is blackmail, there are soldiers in the hands, blackmailing a small number of families, and there is nothing in it.

Cao Cao immediately agreed, and then Cao Cao said: "There is also a lot of wealth buried in this underground, Dong Zhuo dug up hundreds of millions of family assets, we might as well learn from it." ”

Cheng Yu and Man Pang looked at each other for a moment, and then were speechless, Cao Cao actually wanted to rob the tomb.

If Zhang Yu knew, it would not be surprising, this touching Jin Lieutenant was made by Cao Cao, and he specially sent an army to rob the tomb.

Cao Cao is already planning to fight a big battle and needs a lot of money, so Cheng Yu and Man Pang have no objections, anyway, Cao Cao will not dare to steal their family, and even Cao Cao, who has the lord now, will not move.

Otherwise, digging people's ancestral graves, not all of this family will have enemies with him, and they will join the enemy one after another.

Cheng Yu also proposed to secretly find some well-connected families to borrow, and even develop some cities like Zhang Yu and sell them to the family.

After that, after they went to war, Cao Cao should take action against the local families, collect their wealth, and make up for his own shortcomings.

Cao Cao didn't dare to do this before, and now he can't take care of it, anyway, he doesn't move those families who support him, and for other families, Cao Cao also plans to change his strategy and do something to them.

After discussing for a long time, Cao Cao let them go back.

Immediately, Cao Cao's side began a new round of preparations.

At the beginning, Zhang Yu received the news and felt very normal, because he was doing such a thing himself.

He only increased his troops by tens of thousands, but the training of the militia was raised to a higher level, and at the same time, the second-line defense army was also strengthened.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu trained the Fusang army on a large scale this time and directly recruited 200,000.

For this purpose, Zhang Yu directly reduced one-third of the Fusang queen's tribute and made her agree to recruit Fusang people.
