Chapter 803: The Matter of Xuzhou (5)
Time passed slowly, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
this day.
Cui Yan walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Qi Zhao Zhoumu!" ”
"Yan tried his best to stall for time."
"However, the envoy sent by Cao Cao just now suddenly gave in sharply."
"In this way, Cao Cao has agreed to all the agreements we negotiated before."
"The subordinates are incompetent, and they can't continue to delay any longer!"
Zhao Feng was not too surprised when he heard the news.
After all, Zhao Feng wanted to delay time, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Cao Cao.
So to a certain extent, Cao Cao could only make concessions.
It's just that I didn't expect Cao Cao to be so decisive, and after talking for ten days, he didn't continue to talk, but completely agreed with Zhao Feng's request.
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Cao Cao suddenly made such a big concession. ”
"There must have been some accident!"
You must know that in the past ten days, Zhao Feng's army, although it was holding back Cao Cao's army.
But because Cao Cao's camp was established between Zhao Feng's camp and Tan County.
So in the past ten days, Cao Cao was still attacking the city every day.
It's just that the siege strength will be affected by Zhao Feng's army.
Cui Yan shook his head: "Even if you know that there is a problem on Cao Cao's side." ”
"But if you look at the content of the agreement, it has indeed been negotiated."
Then put the bamboo slip in his hand and presented it with both hands: "This is a matter negotiated by both parties." ”
When Xiong Da saw it, he walked directly in front of Cui Yan, took the bamboo slip, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took the bamboo slip, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
The main content in it is all discussed around Yuan Shao.
Initially, Cao Cao promised that he would not accept Yuan Shao.
Now in the agreement, there is an agreement that not only will not accept Yuan Shao, but will also deploy garrison troops in Dongjun to prevent Yuan Shao from leading the remnants into Dongjun.
In addition, I took this as an opportunity to discuss many other matters related to people's livelihood.
For example, each side has to ensure the safety of each other's caravans.
Then, Cao Cao asked Zhao Feng every year to provide a purchase share of two million stone grains.
You must know that in the era of war, food is the most important material.
In addition to the first few years, there were cases where grain was purchased by people from other states, and now all princes basically prohibit the sale of grain.
Anyway, people outside, even if they buy food, they can't transport it out at some checkpoints.
It will also be temporarily detained in various names.
Of course, it sounds like a temporary detention, but in fact it is a permanent detention.
With a few such things, it was found that those caravans that were mainly from the family would not buy food outside.
After that, other materials such as war horses, cattle, and sheep were included, and there was also a corresponding share.
Here, except for the slightly stricter control of the war horse, there is not much control over the others.
After all, if everything is controlled, then business will be greatly hit.
However, the people of the Han Dynasty did not attach importance to commerce in the first place, and they did not care about these blows on commerce at all.
This is true not only of the Han Dynasty, but also of all dynasties.
Otherwise, there would be no sorting of Shinong industry and commerce.
Of course, because the five-baht financial system has been destroyed.
Therefore, these transactions, naturally, cannot be paid for with five baht money.
But if it is done in a bartering way, it is a step backwards for business.
Therefore, Zhao Feng proposed a plan to pay with gold cakes and silver cakes.
Cao Cao also agreed.
Zhao Feng also intends to use the gold standard to restore the financial system.
It's just that Zhao Feng didn't study finance, and he only knew a rough idea about it.
So you can only come up with an idea and let others slowly refine it.
The reason why Cao Cao agreed was not that Cao Cao understood the so-called gold standard.
Rather, it is because the gold cake and the silver cake are all given by the emperor as a reward to reward meritorious officials.
For Cao Cao, gold cakes and silver cakes are just valuables.
It's not a circulating thing at all.
The two sides are still bartering.
Read the agreement.
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Everything has been negotiated, and according to the content of the agreement, we should indeed withdraw from Xuzhou." ”
"In this way, the herald army, after five days, retreat thirty miles!"
"Then tell the news to the messenger sent by Cao Cao."
Zhao Feng's plan is still to delay time.
Although he wanted to withdraw, he did not say that he would withdraw from Xuzhou immediately.
Zhao Feng can withdraw slowly.
And if during this time, Cao Cao really withdrew his troops because of something.
Zhao Feng could still ask Tao Qian for the benefit of two million stone grains.
After all, as long as it is said that this is a strategic shift, Tao Qian has nothing to say.
Cui Yan waved his way: "Oh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
As for the envoy sent by Cao Cao, because Zhao Feng had never heard of it at all, Zhao Feng did not plan to meet him.
It didn't take long.
Cui Yan returned to the big tent of the Chinese army to resume his life, and waved at Zhao Feng: "Qi Zhao Zhoumu!" ”
"The matter has been told to the envoy sent by Cao Cao."
Then he put a document and presented it with both hands: "This is a document sent from Jizhou!" ”
Xiong Da immediately walked up to Cui Yan, took the document in Cui Yan's hand, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
After Zhao Feng took the paperwork, he started directly and checked it carefully.
Most of the content in it is related to the war in Wei County and Shangdang County.
For example, as soon as the spring festival is finished.
Guo Jia, Zhang Wu, Zhou Cang and others led the army of Shangdang County and invaded Hedong County.
Zhang Yang invaded the army of Shangdang County, because Guo Jia used a strategy to separate the army from the baggage and grain teams at Tianjing Pass.
It didn't last a few days, because the army was short of food, and if it continued, they would all starve to death.
Therefore, Zhang Yang's subordinate Yang Chou united with the rest of his subordinates, assassinated Zhang Yang, and then led the remnants of the army to surrender to Guo Jia.
With these leading parties, Guo Jia's attack on Hanoi County was very smooth.
And because Zhang Yang was killed, Guo Jia, Zhang Wu, Zhou Cang and others led their troops to attack Hanoi County.
Yuan Shao knew that his plan to attack Zhao Feng would not only be completely aborted, but if one was not done well, he might also lose Hanoi County.
So he immediately led the army and prepared to return to Hanoi County to resist Guo Jia's army.
After all, Zhang Yang is dead now, and when Yuan Shao is hopeless in trying to seize Jizhou, Hanoi County is also a good choice.
It's just that Yuan Shao wants to withdraw, but Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tian Feng, Man Chong and others will not agree.
Therefore, it was originally Yuan Shao who led his troops to besiege Ye County, but it turned into the Ye County army, which began to pursue and prevent Yuan Shao's army from returning to Hanoi County.
According to Tian Feng's prediction, the armies of Shangdang County and Wei County will eventually converge in the area of Hanoi County, Xiuwu and Zhisuohuai County.
When the time comes, it will also be the final war with Yuan Shao.
Won, Hanoi County was officially brought under Zhao Feng's command.
Lost, Zhao Feng could only stick to Shangdang County and Wei County because of the great loss.
And Yuan Shao can also occupy Hanoi County and recuperate.
Finally, the news also mentioned that the Yangzhou underground intelligence organization sent a message saying that the news of Lu Su had been discovered!
