After Yuan Yun said that Dianman was going to go to the Karasuma realm again, Cao Cao's brows never relaxed, but he was very tempting to cultivate a puppet Lou Ban, if Dianman could really let the Lou Ban reintegrate the Karasuma people who had been scattered, and then start a war with the Xianbei people, then the north could be stable for at least a hundred years.

Hua Xin looked at Cao Cao's expression and knew that this lord was still worried about letting Dian Wei die in battle, so he knew that the current matter of Karasuma was a rare and good thing, but he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

"Lord, since Yuan Hou said that he would give the little general Dianman the identity of a court envoy, and he has Lou Banshan to take care of him, there should be no danger in thinking about it, so it is better to let Dianman go on a trip, as long as we induce it a little later, let the Karasuma people start a war with Xianbei, which will be of great benefit to us." After Hua Xin finished speaking, he glanced at Guo Jia, because Guo Jia seemed to be unusually silent today.

When Guo Jia saw Hua Xin looking at him, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Ziyu, don't look at me, I also have the same opinion as you." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused slightly, then turned to Cao Cao and continued: "Lord, the war between the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people will immediately reduce the number of people on both sides, and they will no longer have any chance to invade the Central Plains in a few years, and not only that, once the little general really envelops the Lou Ban, those cavalry of Karasuma can also become our rare combat power, this time I fought several battles with the Karasuma people with Yuan Hou, and I really admired their combat power."

So no matter how you think about this matter, it will be of great benefit to us, and what Mr. Ziyu just said is right, if you go to Louban, you will inevitably get special preferential treatment because of your status as an envoy of the imperial court, and there will be no danger. ”

Cao Cao's brows finally relaxed, and now he also figured it out, so he said loudly: "Since you all say so, then send Dianman to go, as long as Dianman completes the important task of completing the commission this time, the old man will give him the title of marquis when he comes back." ”

Yuan Yun was overjoyed in his heart, he had suffered a lot in the Karasuma realm over the years, and now since Cao Cao promised to give him the title of marquis, he must not have run away, and it was a few little brothers who were the first to be crowned marquis, except for him Yuan Yun who was the first to be crowned marquis, which is gratifying.

After Cao Cao said this, he immediately turned to Yuan Yun, and then continued: "Dianman's envoy Karasuma this time will be handed over to you to be responsible, you must be cautious, and don't make any mistakes." ”

Yuan Yun was in the middle of it, and immediately gave his hand and said: "Cao Sikong, although rest assured, Dianman went to Karasuma to see Lou Ban this time, in addition to the military one, I also prepared a big gift, which is a great thing that benefits both sides, I believe that Lou Ban Shan Yu as long as he is not too stupid, he will definitely be able to seize the opportunity, and then unify Karasuma again." ”

Cao Cao was interested when he heard this, and wondered: "What gift have you prepared?" Let's talk to the old man first. ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Trade, Dianman went to see Lou Ban, the first thing is to let the other party open trade, I believe that the Karasuma people will never refuse, before they united with Yuan Shao, but it was just to be able to buy goods from the Central Plains, now we take the initiative to come to the door, Lou Ban will definitely accept it."

In this way, Luoyang's goods can go directly to the Karasuma realm, and when these Luoyang goods spread in the Karasuma realm, then the Karasuma people will no longer dare to make trouble, which is much better than war.

From now on, as long as we continue to trade and exchange, the Karasuma people will never dare to start a war, because at that time, all the Karasuma people have adapted to the convenience of our Central Plains goods, and if they return to the past, I am afraid that not only those tribal elders will not do it, but even the most ordinary Karasuma people will not do it. ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, the corners of his mouth immediately rose a little, and Cao Cao lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and only nodded after a while: "This is very good, but some goods still cannot be supplied, such as iron tools or related to strategic materials, these will be reviewed by Hua Xin." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, glanced at Hua Xin, and then asked: "As for what goods to supply to Karasuma, I can't decide until I return to Luoyang, is it too early to trouble Mr. Ziyu?" ”

Cao Cao didn't reply, but tapped Hua Xin with his finger, Hua Xin immediately hugged his fist at Yuan Yun and smiled: "This time Yuan Hou returns to Luoyang, I, Hua Xin, will also go with me, I don't know if Yuan Hou welcomes it." ”

Yuan Yun instantly turned into a smiling face, since Hua Xin was going to Luoyang, it would be better, because when dealing with the Sun family in the south later, this Hua Xin was the chief military division, but it was very strange to think about it like this, because now Guo Jia is still alive, Cao Cao's first choice must be Guo Jia, so Hua Xin's position is more embarrassing.

The best result is that Cao Cao continues to take Guo Jia to the south to fight, and Hua Xin, who has nothing to do, will be sent to Luoyang, anyway, what Luoyang lacks most now is a wise man like Hua Xin.

Guo Jia saw Yuan Yun looking at Hua Xin's expression, he was almost drooling, and immediately understood the other party's intentions, but he didn't break it, but sighed in his heart, before he Guo Jia also agreed, and when the world was peaceful in the future, he would go to Luoyang to retire, and now seeing Yuan Yun's idea of playing Hua Xin again, he could only smile bitterly, the other party seemed to be ready to bring all the talents into Luoyang, and he was very greedy, and now he began to prepare to dig the corner of the lord Cao Cao.

After saying the matter of Dianman, Cao Cao changed his words and said: "Now that the north has been stable, the letter asking for Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's head has also been sent to Gongsun Kang, it is estimated that the heads of the two brothers will be sent soon, and now the old man is only worried about the south." ”

Yuan Yunxin said, in history, after the pacification of Karasuma, Cao Cao's strategic intentions completely turned to the south, and Cao Cao in this period was the most beautiful time, the land expanded several times, and the relative materials and manpower also increased a lot, so the ambition to pacify the world was really mastered by Cao Cao at this moment.

"Sun Ce is now beginning to storm Jiangxia, Huang Zu is retreating, sooner or later he will be cleaned up, although this time is a good time for us to send troops, but after a few major battles, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our side to support a big battle, and the lord still needs to endure for a few more years." Guo Jia said very pertinently, now the four northern states have just stabilized, and the war losses consumed before cannot be replenished immediately, which will take at least several years to prepare.

Hua Xin also affirmed Guo Jia's speech, emphasized the importance of the tuntian system, and suggested that Cao Cao start a large-scale popularization of Luoyang's water conservancy system in the territory, and speed up the manufacture of new agricultural tools.

After Cao Cao listened to the words of the two important strategists in front of him, his face seemed to be a little unnatural, and after Hua Xin finished speaking his opinion, he immediately continued: "Now that the old man has the Luoyang Gunpowder Army in his hands, and there will be the heroic knights of Karasuma in the back, a Sun family in the south, does it really need the old man to wait for several years?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the three people present all showed a trace of horror, because it was obvious that the current Cao Cao was already a little arrogant, killing Lu Bu, leveling Yuan Shao, and now capturing the Karasuma people, these feats are indeed enough for Cao Cao to be arrogant, but now he has to face the Sun family who has taken root in the south, and such arrogance is very inappropriate.

Yuan Yun's brows were about to wring out of the water, and finally he stood up from his position with some uncontrollability, and before he could speak, he saw that Guo Jia had already rushed to say: "Yuan Hou has something to do, go back first, the strategy about the south is not something that can be decided now, it is better to wait for the army to withdraw from Yecheng, the veteran generals and ministers are calm, and we are sitting down and chatting." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and in an instant, he understood what Guo Jia meant, that is, it was really not suitable for the eyes of the law to dissuade himself at this time, so he could only sigh secretly, in the face of a person who was already arrogant, words were indeed the most powerless, even if he said it, it would make Cao Cao unhappy.

Arching his hand slightly, Yuan Yun immediately smiled and said: "Cao Sikong, the kid has made an appointment with Xiao Chong, it will be dark this time, so it's better to go over earlier." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's okay, you go to meet Chong'er first, and you will all come over to accompany the old man for dinner later, today the old man specially instructed the cook, prepared the dumplings with big fillings, and the spirits sent by your Yuan Mansion, you must have a good meal." ”

As Yuan Yun walked out, Guo Jia and Hua Xin also said goodbye, and Cao Cao continued to review the documents on the desktop.

After Guo Jia arrived outside the door, he grabbed Yuan Yun, and then said: "At this time, if you persuade the lord and ask him not to march south, I am afraid it will only be counterproductive. ”

Yuan Yun was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thanks to Guo Jiajun's obstruction, otherwise I would have really stepped forward to dissuade him just now." ”

Hua Xin took a step closer at this time and said, "Now that the lord has just calmed down Karasuma, he is naturally arrogant, and I hope that after a while, when there is more news sent back from the south, the lord can calm down."

We have been growing stronger over the years, and the Sun family in the south has not been idle, they are now not only intermarrying with the clans in the south, but also tying up their interests, so they have sat firmly, and these southern clans have been bound because of their interests, and it is absolutely terrifying to resist when the time comes, and it is very inappropriate for us to send troops now. ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Although Xiliang and Hanzhong have been included in our territory now, but Xiliang still has Han Sui and Ma Chao, as long as the gunpowder army stays in Luoyang and Chang'an, they will not dare to make trouble, but if we follow the army to the south, I am afraid that Ma Chao's temperament will be chaotic, and then we will be attacked on both sides." ”

Hua Xin was stunned and wondered: "Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, is about to arrive in Yecheng in the near future, with him as a hostage, Ma Chao dares to make trouble?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "With my understanding of Ma Chao, if he thinks the time has come, he won't care who is taking him hostage." ”

Hua Xin was stunned for a moment, and finally could only shake his head, he didn't know much about the Xiliang Ma family, at this moment, since Yuan Yun said so, he still chose to believe, thinking so, Ma Chao would not be unprepared, if it was really when the army was marching south, Ma Chao would come behind his back like this, then the Cao family would definitely drop a piece of meat.

Guo Jia saw that Hua Xin was silent, so he continued: "Cao Ang's prince won a big victory in Xiliang, and now he has swept the whole territory aside, and the warlord forces over there have all chosen to surrender, how long does Yuan Hou think it will take us to completely integrate the Xiliang realm?" ”

Yuan Yun immediately became cautious when he heard this, because he clearly knew the meaning of Guo Jia's question, that is, this time represented when he could fight to the south.

After weighing it for a while, Yuan Yun replied: "It will take at least ten years to have a very stable effect, and if it is not enough to go south, it will definitely not be able to wait so long, so it can only take extraordinary measures, and it will take at least three years." ”

Guo Jia snorted and asked again: "What does Yuan Hou mean by the extraordinary means?" ”

Yuan Yun sighed, his eyes turned cold in an instant, and then he replied lightly: "Beheading operation!" ”
