Chapter 485: Plans After that
Xun Yu and the others next to him could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, this Guo Jia, is it really the reason why he is much younger than them? However, speaking of which, this still smells of a counterattack.
A few guys who were almost not valued on Yuan Shao's side at the beginning are now thriving on Cao Cao's side and fighting against Yuan Shao's side. It is estimated that whether it is Xun Yu or Xun You, there is a kind of ambition in their hearts at this time that they must defeat Yuan Shao to prove to the world! Only Guo Jia would think about how to return to Yuan Shao's villain if he lost.
"However, now that it is not yet time to be able to turn his face with Yuan Shao, this matter can only be stopped. What do you see of us now? Is it a direct attack on Xuzhou? Cao Cao asked.
"Not really." Xun Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Lu Bu and Liu Bei are both enemies of our army, if they run to attack at this time, they will inevitably unite closely." And if you leave it alone, Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, and if he continues for a long time, he will definitely covet Liu Bei's Xuzhou. Wait until the two tigers compete for food, and then we will watch the tiger fight across the mountain, and reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
"Brother Wen Ruo is right." Guo Jia nodded beside him, "Lu Bu is extremely ambitious, and he will definitely not be willing to be subject to Liu Bei all the time, and Chen Gong definitely does not want to see such a situation." Therefore, there will inevitably be a battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Liu Bei won the hearts of the people, if Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei in the end, then if we attack Lu Bu again, we will definitely get the greatest support. As for Liu Bei's defeat of Lu Bu, it is also a huge loss, and when the time comes, we will be able to run to attack Xuzhou, and we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. And now Xuzhou is still in the recovery period. It would be better to let Liu Bei continue to govern on his behalf. Guo Jia said.
Cao Cao didn't have any opinions, in fact, he asked such a thing. Naturally, I also think that it is not appropriate to attack Xuzhou now. You must know that Cao Cao is a military expert, not a person without any ideas. It's just that Cao Cao usually doesn't say it directly. Cao Cao wanted to humbly listen to the opinions of the strategists, of course, it could also be to prevent the emergence of people similar to Guo Tu. If Cao Cao directly expressed his meaning, would there still be anyone who objected? Well, Guo Jia is definitely excepted, which is one of the things that Cao Cao likes about Guo Jia very much.
"Since we don't fight Xuzhou, where should we fight now? Yuan Shu? Yuan Shu has grown a little bit stronger recently, isn't it time to take the opportunity to suppress him? Cao Cao couldn't help but say.
Cao Cao is the kind of person who can't be idle, throughout Cao Cao's life. He hasn't been at war in a few years? Perhaps in Cao Cao's eyes, if he doesn't fight, he will be standing still and will fall behind. Therefore, since he can't fight Xuzhou at the moment, Cao Cao immediately began to think of the question of where to fight.
Xun Yu smiled bitterly,
"I think it's better for us to take a break for a while."
Cheng Yu also followed and persuaded,
"Yes, Yanzhou has gone through a series of wars. There are many natural disasters again, and I can't fight anymore. ”
"Of course, I know this situation, I just want to set a goal in advance and plan early!" Cao Cao said.
But. All the people present knew Cao Cao, and once the goal was set, it was estimated that the spring of the second year would be at the latest. Cao Cao will think that he has recuperated enough, and he will directly fight again. It's autumn harvest now. Cao Cao really didn't want to rest for even half a year.
Guo Jia lowered his head and thought about it, after defeating Lu Bu in Yanzhou. It should be to welcome the emperor to Xudu and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. It's just that Guo Jia can't remember how much time has passed, it seems to be a little long, and it seems to be a little short.
So Guo Jia opened his mouth and said,
"I think it's better not to plan early, after all, some opportunities often come out of nowhere. The key depends on who reacts quickly enough, if we decide to attack Yuan Shu early on, the deployment of troops will inevitably shift towards Yuan Shu's side. And if something suddenly happens elsewhere at this time, there is a lot of opportunity to make money, and it would be a pity if you didn't take advantage of it because of this. ”
"This ...... There is also a certain amount of truth, just like the Yanzhou incident at the beginning, who could have expected it in advance. If Yuan Shao dies suddenly, I don't want to cheapen Gongsun Chan for nothing! Cao Cao muttered, it seems that Yuan Shao's behavior this time has completely angered Cao Cao, although from the level of princes, Cao Cao can't turn his face with Yuan Shao, but from a personal point of view, Cao Cao doesn't regard Yuan Shao as a friend at all. Isn't this all cursing Yuan Shao's death!
"That's good! Let's fix it for a month. In a month, if nothing happens, then we'll talk about it again! Cao Cao suddenly decided.
"That's right, my lord." Xun Yu, who has been in charge of Yanzhou's internal affairs, suddenly said, "This Yanzhou change has caused all parts of Yanzhou to be reshuffled, especially in Chenliu and other places, because of Zhang Miao, the scholars have almost been uprooted. There are also newly acquired Runan, Yingchuan and other places, which have been plundered by the yellow turbans for a long time, and there are no more scholars. ”
"Isn't that just right!" Cao Cao smiled, "I remember that Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao are both from Yingchuan, well, Wen Ruo is from Yingyin, and Feng Xiao is from Yangzhai." You were originally from the Yingchuan clan, and now the things have returned to their original owners, wouldn't it be wonderful! Cao Cao said, it can be regarded as a reward.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xun Yu did not refuse to come down, the ancients were very fond of their homeland, and they had to talk about what fallen leaves would return to their roots after death, so it was great to have their own hometown, although today's Yingchuan can no longer be compared with the Yingchuan of the year.
Of course, it was also at this time that no one could have imagined that Emperor Xian would be welcomed to Xuchang by Cao Cao soon after. At that time, Yingchuan, as a suburb of Kyoto, will have important ministers such as Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and in a few years, it will be even more brilliant than back then!
"But even so, there are still too many empty spaces. Therefore, my subordinates believe that it is time to change our previous policy, and now we should fully implement the tuntian system! Xun Yu said, "As for Fengxiao's official grade tax reduction system, it no longer has much meaning." ”
That's right, the reason why lottery tickets are attractive is because there are many people who buy them, and each person only needs to pay a small amount of benefits, and there will be very considerable prizes. And now, the number of people buying lottery tickets has dropped dramatically, and the remaining prize money is really not attractive enough.
Moreover, the reason why such a policy was implemented in the first place was for a special reason, because Cao Cao wanted to compete for interests with those scholars, so in order not to offend all the scholars, he had to win over some of the outstanding scholars to support. But now, Cao Cao doesn't need to compete with the scholars for benefits at all, after all, there are too few remaining scholars, which means that all the exterminated scholars have been swallowed up by Cao Cao. In this way, there is no need to implement unequal policies.
Zi said: "Qiu also heard that those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety. There is no poverty, no widowhood, and no inclination. If the husband is like this, so people from afar are not satisfied, and they will repair Wende. If it comes, it will be safe. (To be continued......)
