Chapter 945: Cao Cao's ecstasy

"Your Majesty rest assured, if Your Majesty promises to hand over the important task of the south to the minister, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Li Hui was also clever, and immediately fell to the ground and said.

"The southern responsibility has been handed over to one person. Even if you were in the past, you were only assisting that person. However, Lone can also tell you that the man is very talented, and he is only trained in the south, and the real burden will still be on you. Kou Feng said with a smile.

When Li Hui heard that there were already people in the south, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, Li Hui's heart is also very calm, and he quickly put away his hope.

He knew that as Chu Chen just now, he would definitely not be able to ascend to the sky in one step.

Therefore, when Li Hui listened to the second half of Kou Feng, he said that the person was a great talent, but he had only experienced gilding in the south. Later, he was still the main one in the south.

Li Hui didn't seem too excited, he was very calm.

Feng couldn't help but nod when he saw it, and secretly praised it.

The south seems to be stable, but it is also very sinister. The ten kingdoms seem to be subservient, but they also have their own ghosts, and the rest of the tribes, the natives, can be said to be poor and complicated.

If a person's mind is unstable, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it.

What Li Hui showed today has made Kou Feng get out of the old historical impression, but really see a talent.

After Zhuge Liang, he is enough to take over the important task of the south.

It was not until this moment that Kou Feng really felt at ease with the south. Zhuge Liang, Li Hui, plus a large number of businessmen. The history of the Han people's development of Southeast Asia began with his Chu Tianzi.

Immediately, Kou Feng and Li Hui said some more words. Then, he personally led Li Hui to Situ Jiang Wan's official residence, and asked Jiang Wan to draw up an official document and seal Li Hui as Zhuge Liang's long history.

Sit in Nanzhong with Zhuge Liang.

In this way, after the seal letter, official uniform and other things are cast, Li Hui will be able to leave Chengdu and go south.

Three days later, Kou Feng issued an edict to set up checkpoints on the main passages between Nanzhou and the ten southern countries, and the tax revenue was two-tenths. One thousand percent interest.

Pumping only two-tenths of the tariff is already very cheap. In addition, the army of the State of Chu was on standby at any time to escort the merchants.

After this strategy of the Chu State came out, it was basically not resisted. The big merchants from all over the Chu State were very enthusiastic, and sixty or seventy percent of the more than seventy merchants were willing to form caravans and open up to the south.

Don't look at the number of people is only six or seventy, but it is already an extremely amazing strength. After all, every big merchant had a very strong caravan, and thirty or forty merchants carried out this trade, after all, they brought thousands of people into the south.

When they return with a full load, more people will enter the south. When the real southern trade was at its peak, it could have been in the hundreds of thousands.

Those people may settle in the south, multiply. The culture of Chu has been exported, and gold has also been earned.

It can be said that the blueprint for Kou Feng's invasion to the south has been established. Next, it's time to deal with the north with all our might.

The first year of Xingba, winter.

The highest power of the Chu State, Kou Feng, issued this deadline as a period to enter the north. Under Kou Feng's high pressure, the state apparatus of the entire Chu State was running at full capacity.

A handle of the Chu knife was produced, and the weapon was completely replaced for the army of the Chu State. A repeater with a handle was produced as a backup weapon.

Pieces of armor were produced as armor for the 8,000 broken army.

are all preparing for the first year of Xingba, the offensive season of winter.

The state of Chu is running at full strength, and Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cao Cao in the north are not idle, and Ma Teng and Han Sui quickly stabilized the interior with the help of Cao Cao.

Officials were selected and military cantonments were set up. The country has quickly stabilized.

In addition to stabilizing Ma Teng and Han Sui's interior, Cao Cao once again issued a talent seeking order and recruited a large number of poor talents for the construction of the country.

In addition to the construction of internal affairs, Cao Cao also ordered to step up the construction of Wei Dao, and the whole army must be equipped. Make comprehensive preparations for the fight against the Chu army.

In addition to the Wei knife, there are also various types of armor. In addition, in cooperation with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he purchased high-grade Xiliang war horses from Xiliang, and built a large number of cavalry again.

The entire state apparatus is also running at full speed, no slower than the Chu State in the south.

In this kind of all-out operation, Cao Cao, as the Duke of Wei, has paid a lot of energy. Because the Wei State is not as good as the Chu State, the Chu State was established by Kou Feng, and there is not much use of the power of the Dahao and Dashi clans.

Kou Feng himself has a supreme position in the state of Chu and is respected. Therefore, his willpower was unimpeded in the state of Chu. Cao Cao is different, on the way to establish the Wei State, he relied on many Dashi clans, great and powerful forces.

Therefore, many parties will not dare to act rashly against the interests of the Dahao and Dashi clans, and they will shrink back. Cao Cao had to keep an eye on it. Therefore, the amount of effort expended is enormous.

On this day, in the evening, in the study in the Wei Mansion.

After Cao Cao had finished all his official duties, he was very tired and was about to get up and go back. saw Chen Qun suddenly walk in from outside. Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Ming Gong, intelligence from the State of Chu."

After walking into the study, Chen Qun spoke quickly, and then took the bamboo slip and handed it to Cao Cao.

"Oh?" Cao Cao lifted his spirits when he heard this, and took the bamboo slip from Chen Qun's hand. Cao Cao attached great importance to the news of Chu and arranged a large number of spies in Chu State.

No matter how big or small the matter is, it must be reported to Chen Qun, and then Chen Qun will delete and select, and the bigger or more serious things will be handed over to Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao knew that what was recorded in this bamboo slip must not be a trivial matter.

Even though he was prepared, when Cao Cao opened the bamboo slip, he saw that it recorded Kou Feng's construction technology in Chu to sell Chu Shu to raise funds, and when he released a large-scale merchant to explore the south.

Cao Cao still felt his heart shake.

Because Cao Cao got a lot of favorable information from this simple news.

One is that the very powerful state of Chu is still short of money. It can also be concluded that the expenses of the state of Chu are equally huge. Therefore, the construction technology of Chu Shu had to be sold to raise funds.

Second, that is, the state of Chu has made a major breakthrough in the development of commerce, and opened up to the south? Cao Cao didn't know much about the situation further south, but he knew very well that Kou Feng was definitely not the kind of person who didn't want to be targeted for no reason.

Since a large number of merchants have been guided to the south, it means that the south has huge interests.

The above news confirms that the state of Chu is building prosperity on a large scale and forging armaments on a large scale. Then, war is not far off.

Cao Cao's eyes flickered slightly, and his heart was solemn. Chu State, Cao Cao also underestimated Chu State at the beginning, thinking that sending Cao Ren would be enough to kill Kou Feng.

However, Kou Feng invited Pang Tong to come out of the mountain and eliminated Pang Tong with a fire ox array. This is the first failure.

The second time, Cao Cao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops south, thinking that he could take Liu Bei, Kou Feng, and Sun Quan in one pot. But as a result, he was reversed by Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

The third time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined forces to fight with Kou Feng, but Kou Feng first killed Liu Bei in Jingzhou, and then seized Jiangdong with Sun Quan, and then sent troops north to eliminate Cao Cao's forces entrenched in Yangzhou.

In the middle, Cao Cao also made a lot of efforts, famous generals Li Dian, Zang Ba, etc., but they were all eliminated by Kou Feng.

On the fourth occasion, Kou Feng sent a large army to capture Shuzhong, and Cao Cao sent Man Zhong to Shuzhong to give Liu Zhang the craft of making Wei Dao, intending to cause trouble for the Chu State.

As a result, Kou Feng still captured Shuzhong in a short period of time and stabilized. Man's whereabouts are unknown since then.

Failure after failure made Cao Cao begin to treat Chu extremely cautiously. Now, there is going to be a war.

But this is only one of the reasons that made Cao Cao's heart shake, and it is not an important reason. The most important thing is the message above.

Kou Feng used the technology of selling Chu Shu to raise funds.

Cao Cao didn't know what Kou Feng thought. But he felt that this move was a big failure. What Cao Cao was afraid of was not the powerful combat power of the Chu State, nor the sharpness of the Chu sword.

Because at the moment, the fighting power of Wei is still strong. And the Wei knife can also be comparable to the Chu knife. Not only that, but the forces of Qin and Liang are also dependent on Wei.

The tripartite alliance is definitely superior to the state of Chu in terms of combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Cao Cao was not afraid of the Chu State. Cao Cao was afraid of Kou Feng's youth, which was too young compared to him. The second is the Book of Chu.

The books of Chu were all circulated in the south of the Chu State, and they were all built and circulated by Kou Feng himself. This method is good, and it puts an end to the imitation of Wei.

With that kind of Chu book, the talent training of Chu State is ten times stronger than that of Wei State. I can't see it now, but in ten or twenty years, I can see it.

These are the two things that Cao Cao is really afraid of, and they are the only two things that the Chu State has the upper hand.

And now that Kou Feng actually sells Chu Shu on a large scale, it will definitely be leaked. It is very likely that Wei will get it, but it is not very likely, it will definitely be obtained.

Kou Feng did this, he was cutting off his own arm. From then on, the advantage of the Chu State was only Kou Feng's youth. Compared to the power of Chu Shu.

The fact that Kou Feng is young is much easier to solve.

For example, Kou Feng often led troops outside. Before Cao Cao died, kill Kou Feng. In this way, both sides will reach the starting line, and it will be up to future generations to compete for glory.

It's rare that Kou Feng made a stupid trick and gave up technology for money. This is the reason why Cao Cao's heart is shaken and he is difficult to himself.

"Go and inform Ma Teng, Han Sui, and tell them that Kou Feng's army may be about to be dispatched this winter. Let them be careful. In addition, he immediately sent spies into the state of Chu to ask for the forging process of the book of Chu. ”

After a burst of ecstasy, Cao Cao stabilized his mind and calmly ordered.

Qun Ying promised, and immediately went down to do things.

"As long as you get Chu Shu's manufacturing technology, even if the war lasts for twenty years. At least if I die, my son will succeed him, and he will not be afraid. In terms of the foundation of the Wei State that I left behind, as long as I am not incompetent. will be able to stabilize the situation. Of course, it would be even more perfect if he could kill Kou Feng on the battlefield. ”

After Chen Qun walked down, Cao Cao's heart rippled again, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
