The news brought by Cheng Yu surprised everyone, and at the same time, some of the deployments that had been designed for a long time had to be changed.

Cao Ang also felt that there were fewer generals in Luoyang at this time, and Yuan Yun was transferred to the north to deal with Karasuma, in order to be more safe, he could only assign Zhang Liao to Yuan Yun, which made the available generals to crusade against Xiliang even less.

However, even if there was a lack of generals in the battle of Xiliang, Cao Ang still assigned Zhang Liao to Yuan Yun, compared to leading the army, Yuan Yun was more suitable for the existence of the general staff and military division, and only Zhang Liao led the army could rest assured that the 10,000 gunpowder army would go north to the border.

"The gunpowder army brought to the north will be mainly craftsmen and medical battalions, so I only need 6,000 fighters." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he leaned comfortably on the recliner in Cao Ang's study.

Cao Ang thought for a moment and said: "This battle against Karasuma really doesn't need too many combatable soldiers, my father's soldiers should be sufficient, Brother Yun has some new killing weapons, it is indeed better to bring more craftsmen than more soldiers, and the medical battalion can also help the wounded soldiers who retreated from my father's side, which is also necessary, and I am fighting in Xiliang, I need more combat power, and I also need a quick battle, the craftsman battalion and the medical battalion really don't need much, so it is very good to divide it like this." ”

Yuan Yun saw that Cao Ang agreed, so he proposed: "I have a famous general, and I really want to go to Xiliang with Brother Cao Ang at this moment, according to what he means, I want to meet that Jinma Chao, so Brother Cao Ang might as well take him with me." ”

Cao Ang was stunned and puzzled: "Do you have such a powerful general in your family?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "It is Zhao Yun, the closed disciple of Tong Yuan, who once served on Gongsun Zhan's side, and is invincible with a silver spear, Brother Cao Ang believes me, this person's strength is definitely not lower than that of Jin Ma Chao, if he encounters something that challenges before the battle, although he can be sent to fight." ”

Cao Ang naturally saw Zhao Yun once, and he felt that this person was very powerful when he stood on the horse, so he was more impressed, and after listening to Yuan Yun's introduction at this moment, he smiled and said: "No wonder I saw this person heroic and extraordinary, it turned out to be a closed disciple of the old man Tong Yuan."

It's just that since this Zhao Yun is a northerner and has served under Gongsun Zhan, he must be familiar with the battle with Karasuma, Brother Yun went to crusade against Karasuma this time, isn't it better to take him with him, why did he choose Xiliang? This really confuses me. ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, after receiving the order brought by Cheng Yu yesterday, he held an internal meeting when he returned home, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Zhao Yun were all present, and when Yuan Yun said the next arrangement, Zhao Yun asked to go to Xiliang with the prince without thinking about it.

Zhao Yun's reason is very simple, Karasuma is a rabble, but he relies on horses to be fast and good at shooting, so he can crisscross the north, and it is really very boring to fight with these people, but he is very yearning for the name of Jin Ma Chao, thinking that he must go to meet this person, this is completely the blood of a martial artist.

Yuan Yun saw that Zhao Yun had finally raised his spirits and was ready to do something, so he immediately agreed to his request, so he immediately told Cao Ang the cause and effect today.

After hearing this, Cao Ang smiled and said: "Since Zhao Yun has such ambitions, then it is good to fulfill him, and I will assign a thousand cavalry to his command when I go back, and it will depend on his wonderful performance." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, although Zhao Yun always appeared as Liu Bei's personal guard leader in history, but he also often led troops, a thousand cavalry should not be a problem, just thinking that there might be a scene of Zhao Yun vs. Ma Chao, he felt that he was at a loss, and it was a pity not to see such a wonderful scene.

Then a group of people redivided the strategy of this crusade against Xiliang, and then Cao Ang assigned personal matters, and a clean meeting was over, Yuan Yun saw that it was only noon outside the window, so he chose to go to Ma Jun's workshop to take a turn, because the hot air balloon was originally prepared for testing today, but it was postponed due to a small problem, so he had to go and take a good look.

The frame entered the market, Yuan Yun saw Cheng Yu hanging around with three guards outside the car window, this old man was smiling all over his face, looking like a kind old man, constantly walking in the market, and then greeted those merchants, and asked some if there were any, I felt very enjoyable.

After Cheng Yu finished explaining Cao Cao's order yesterday, he began to wander around Luoyang City, and the matter of transferring 10,000 gunpowder troops took some time to prepare, which he knew very well, so he took advantage of this period of time to observe the people's livelihood in Luoyang, after all, he was one of the founders of New Luoyang back then, and he was always unwilling to take a good look at it nearby.

Whenever Cheng Yu saw the bustling Luoyang Market, he couldn't help but feel that it was a barren place back then, the East Market was a piece of grass, and the West Market was also a mess of stones, and now these two markets have become the core of the market in the north, and even the whole world, all the goods you can understand, there is almost everything here.

And the merchants who shuttled back and forth also made Cheng Yu sigh, because he could actually see some Hu people, these merchants in the west were each excited, because they had never seen such good goods, so even if their camel team could no longer be loaded, they were still desperately carrying on themselves, just hoping to bring more goods back, because as long as they could return smoothly, just the money after the sale of these goods could immediately make them a local rich family.

On the other hand, in China, most of the businessmen from all over the world also gather here, just from the accent and some small changes in clothing, Cheng Yu can tell where the hometown of these businessmen is, what surprised him is that there are some caravans in South Vietnam, so thinking about it, he immediately smiled bitterly, because he had already guessed that Yuan Yun's business was estimated to have done it over there.

It's just that this bastard boy never reported that Luoyang now only pays taxes according to a city, which is really a big loss, because if you develop South Vietnam, as long as Luoyang piggybacks on the court of Xudu, you will definitely be able to earn back a lot for the treasury, and now it's good, these profits are all monopolized by Luoyang, and it's no wonder that Luoyang is now developing like a monster, not only can it be self-sufficient in just a few years, but it can even develop with the counties on the side, Hongnong is a typical example.

Thinking like this, Cheng Yu was stunned again, I am afraid that it is not a bad thing to take the imperial court without Xu Du, if those old officials in the court are involved, I am afraid that now these profits not only do not enter the treasury, but fatten those insatiable clans, which must be what the lord Cao Cao does not want to see.

Cao Cao because of his background, so he was always not favored by those big clans, although some policies were later adopted, so that these clans gradually became obedient, but in the bones, these big families still became Cao Cao is a nouveau riche, and there are many people who are separated from each other, so Cao Cao is also secretly suppressing, if these people are fat, wouldn't it be a bad thing, and it is no wonder that Cao Cao can let Luoyang operate like this, and the interests involved in this must be very complicated.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu touched the beard on his chin, immediately laughed, said hello to the South Vietnamese merchants, and pretended not to see anything, and went to the next shop on his own.

"Mr. Zhongde is so interested, he is hanging out here." Yuan Yun lifted the curtain on his car window, and then said hello to Cheng Yu, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Yu turned around slightly, and then replied with a smile: "Since Yuan Hou is here, it is better to be a guide for the old man, after leaving these days, the old man can't understand many things in Luoyang, and everyone can't introduce them." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, then got off the frame, and came to Cheng Yu's side in a few steps, and before he could speak, he heard a sudden uproar around him, and the owners of the shops who turned out to be a kind of shop ran out, and then everyone saluted Yuan Yun.

When Cheng Yu saw so many people gathered around, he immediately smiled bitterly, shook his head and said to Yuan Yun: "It's better to return to Yuan Hou's frame, so you can't continue to hang around." ”

Yuan Yun is also ugly, these bastard businessmen, they won't have a good look, a swarm of bees is coming, and they don't let people be clean, just stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling people, the bosses of these shops are not only constantly making trouble, but also constantly bringing good things from their own shops to feed Yuan Yun's guards, some stuffing some silk, some stuffing tea, and the most incredible thing is that some people actually stuff well-made tables and chairs for the guards, so that these guards don't know what to do.

After getting on the frame, Cheng Yu looked through the window and looked outside, immediately laughed, and then pointed to Yuan Yundao, who had just come up: "Yuan Hou still has a big face, just show his face on the street, and get so many good things, you see that the silk and satin taken by the guard are enough for two or three horses, if this is exchanged for money, it is a lot, you look at those teas, they are all famous products of Yangzhou, and they are also worth a lot of money, these businessmen are generous." ”

Yuan Yun laughed embarrassedly, of course he knew what was going on, now Luoyang is engaged in bidding, that is, to form a fleet that can go to South Vietnam by sea and land, or even farther away, these businessmen are naturally red-eyed, and they all want to take the big ship of the Luoyang caravan, so they are so enthusiastic.

After a few perfunctory words, Yuan Yun opened the topic and said, "Now those officials and generals in Yecheng must have a lot of disputes, right?" ”

Cheng Yu heard Yuan Yun say this, his face sank, and he nodded: "It is still divided into two factions, one side advocates sticking to the north and stabilizing the territory that has just been defeated, these people are mainly Chen Qun and Wang Lang; The other side advocated immediately starting a war against Karasuma, so as to completely pull out Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, so as not to have many dreams at night, and these people were mainly Guo Jia and Xun You. ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Since Cao Sikong instructed Mr. Zhongde to recruit me, it was naturally Mr. Fengxiao who won." ”

Cheng Yu sighed and replied: "Not necessarily, the lord is still a little hesitant to recruit you Gunpowder Army to come over, just because I want you to change some people's minds after you pass, after all, the Gunpowder Army is now a strong army in our forces, and your arrival will inevitably make some people change their minds and then support the Northern Expedition." ”

Yuan Yun sighed, Cao Cao is like this, he always likes to play the royal set, that is, he looks at the people below to argue, in fact, he already has an idea in his heart, and he will start to use means for this thing that has been decided, and then let things gradually develop as he imagined, and finally his subordinates finished arguing, and he seemed to be very wise to accept and fulfill.

But since Cao Cao is planning to let Yuan Yun go over, so that everyone can be reassured, then this matter is easy to do, after all, he is the son-in-law of Cao Mansion, and if he wants to rectify it, he will not need the whole big one, anyway, the old man invited him to go, and it doesn't matter if he pokes out the basket, it seems that it is time to use the power of the beggar gang, the biggest gang in the north is now them, and it is natural to get some wind and rain out.

Thinking like this, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth rose unconsciously, he didn't feel anything, but Cheng Yu, who was sitting opposite him, trembled all over, and his eyes were full of fear.

Yuan Yun's smile Cheng Yu is really familiar, this bastard kid is definitely going to harm people again, and he will definitely make a storm all over the city, and now Yecheng must not know how big an incident will be made, at this moment, Cheng Yu's mind is full of regret, and he keeps pumping his mouth in his heart, why did he say that to Yuan Yun just now, now it's okay, it has aroused the bad water of this kid, it is really infinitely regretful.
