Thanks to gz2f22 for the tip!

Cao Cao's eyebrows shrank, Huo Ran rose, and ordered: "Immediately put together the sand table around the Green Ridge Fortress."

The Imperial Foresters in the main hall immediately took several components from the wooden frame on the side of the main hall, and soon put together a topographical map of the Green Ridge Fortress and its surroundings

Cao Cao came to the sand table, and the ministers gathered around the sand table.

Cao Cao pondered, "If I am the King of Guishuang, I will definitely do it when our army is fighting in Wusun!" If so, then Guishuang's current series of puzzling moves makes sense! ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" But I don't think they expected that a war to destroy the country would end in just a few months! ”

Chen Gong said: "If King Guishuang is not a madman, after learning of our army's victory in the Western Regions, he will definitely terminate the plan, and it is unknown whether he will really take action against the rest of the danger!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and ordered: "Immediately send an order to Zilong and Zhongda to prepare for battle, and at the same time, the Xiongnu army stationed at Yumen Pass will immediately enter the Western Regions!" ”

"Command!" Xun Yu promised.

Xi Zhicai said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if the Xiongnu Legion is transferred to the Western Regions, I am afraid that it will make many people panic!" ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly, "If you are uneasy, you will be uneasy!" Today, the influence of my Great Wei in the countries of the Western Regions has extended to all aspects, and the lives of the people of the Western Regions are vastly different from those before the entry of our Great Wei forces. What's more, I have just destroyed a few disobedient countries in the Western Regions! ”

Cao Cao glanced at the ministers and said solemnly: "You have to remember! The demands of the people are the most practical, who can give them

The better life, to whom they will be allegiant! ”

The ministers showed thoughtful expressions and promised together.

Cao Cao returned to the dragon and sat down

"Gongtai, the reservists who have been replenished to the legions cannot be delayed!"

"The minister understands!"

"Gongda, immediately send orders to the First and Second Army Corps, and be ready to go out at any time!"

"Command!"

At the same time, far away in the royal capital of Guishuang

"Father just sent news from Chang'an!"

Yueduo hurried into the back garden, where his father was enjoying the flowers with his most favored concubine, Hilpa.

Vesudeva I hurriedly took the herald from Yueduo's hand, flew it over, his face changed, and muttered, "How is it possible? It's over in just a few months?? ”

Chang'an Imperial Palace Qianqing Palace.

"The 300,000 troops of Guishan, led by General Zhenxi, launched an attack on Meiwei City, northeast of Anxi! Hmph, it seems that Guishan has received the news of our army's victory in the Eastern Crusade! Cao Cao put down the handbook in his hand and said with a smile.

At this moment, Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu were all present.

Xi Zhicai smiled: "Guishuang is not stupid! ”

"It's not stupid, but it's arrogant! Even if His Majesty is leading a large army to fight in Xizhou, will he really have a chance to take advantage of it? Cheng Yu said contemptuously.

Everyone smiled sympathetically.

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu: "When the Xiongnu army enters the Western Regions, what is the reaction of the countries in the Western Regions?" ”

Xun Yu smiled: "There are several countries where the monarchs are a little worried, but that's all!" The military prestige of our DPRK has not yet dissipated, and as for the people, there are several civil associations in the Western Regions that have taken the opportunity to fan the flames and make a lot of nonsense! This must be noted! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of some restless groups led by religious forces in later generations, and frowned: "Although a good policy coupled with strong military strength can make the vast majority of foreign races submit, there are always some people in any nation who are restless and keep to themselves!" ”

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that these problems can be eliminated by simply dealing with them strictly according to the law!" Cheng Yu arched his hand.

Cao Cao smiled: "Zhongde is good at the law, but this matter is not so simple! ”

After a pause, Cao Cao instructed: "Let the Jinyi Guard strengthen infiltration and surveillance!" Tell Sima Yi not to take any action just yet! Xun Yu Guishuang promised.

"By the way, what happened to the people who moved from Fusang Prefecture to Lingnan?"

Chen Gong replied: "The 100,000 households that moved out of Fusang Prefecture have landed in Yangzhou and are now on their way to Lingnan, and they are expected to arrive in a month!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and asked with emotion, "You say, is it a bit cruel for me to make such a decision?" ”

The four of them couldn't help but be stunned, and Xi Zhicai said categorically: "Those who govern the country put the overall situation first, so even if there are no bones left, it is understandable!" Your Majesty's doing sand in this way is not only conducive to the control of Fusang Continent by our Great Wei, but also conducive to the opening and control of the wild land of Lingnan, which is of great benefit to the country! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much about this! ”

Xun Yu, Chen Gong, and Cheng Yu echoed one after another.

Cao Cao put these inexplicable emotions behind him and said, "Tell Zhu Rong to be vigilant against these newly migrated people!" ”

"Yes! Wechen understands! ”

Xun Yu smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the general is about to return to Beijing to report on his work!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the captured general was Zhu Rong, and couldn't help but recall the resolute beauty who dared to love and hate, and was extremely hot, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

Due to some problems, the relationship between Cao Cao and Zhu Rong has been unclear, and Zhu Rong has only returned to Chang'an once in the past two years, when the two only had official meetings.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time. Xun Yu, they didn't bother Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pulled his mind out of these personal feelings and asked Chen Gongdao: "Gongtai, how are the people who moved to Xizhou and Fusang Continent to recruit them?" ”

As soon as he heard Cao Cao ask about this, Chen Gong couldn't help but get excited, "Your Majesty, I'm about to report to you!" As soon as the people heard that they had been exempted from any agricultural taxes for five years, and that all the wasteland they had reclaimed in two years belonged to them, they immediately exploded, and the gate of the yamen in charge of this matter was almost crowded! ”

Cao Cao smiled, "That's very good!" ”

"By the way, Your Majesty, we did not recruit the people who migrated in Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an have a lot of complaints!" Chen Gong said with a smile.

Cao Cao smiled and thought for a moment, "Since that's the case, then open a recruitment point in Chang'an!" However, the public station should pay attention to the fact that the total number of people recruited shall not exceed 200,000 households! ”

"Yes! Wechen understands! ”

Cao Cao pondered: "Regulating immigration is only the first step in controlling the newly expanded territory, and the most important thing is to fully assimilate in culture, life, tradition, and morality!" So that the people of these newly expanded territories will completely become Wei people! Only then will the occupation be successful and the future of the empire will be secure! ”

The four of them couldn't help but bow their hands with reverence.

"In addition, it is convenient for businessmen who are interested in entering Xizhou and Fusang Continent!" (To be continued.) )
