Thank you for the reward from the False Silent Son!

Thanks to the old bird, it is a monthly ticket rewarded by my son-in-law!

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile with relief, and there was an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Then Cao Cao watched the recital of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Ministry of Agriculture can be said to be newly established by Cao Cao, the original agricultural affairs are just one of the responsibilities of the local officials, and now agricultural affairs are a special affairs of the imperial court, and the local officials in charge of agriculture are directly under the Ministry of Agriculture, and the six ministries have also become eight ministries.

At this time, the highest power holder in the Wei State was still the emperor Cao Cao, and under it was the cabinet, which was composed of six cabinet ministers, one of whom was the first assistant, two second-assistants, and three group assistants, namely Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia.

Of course, due to Guo Langzi's character, the cabinet has been under the five cabinets for a long time, and it seems that neither the five cabinet ministers nor Cao Cao have clear objections to this situation.

The cabinet composed of six people ensured the normal operation of the Great Wei Dynasty, and then there were eight Shangshu, namely Zhou Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Liu Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhong Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Cheng Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Zhang Xi, and the Shangshu Zaoyi of the Ministry of Agriculture!

The cabinet plus the eight ministries can be said to be a political system that has not existed in all dynasties of China, but although it is a little strange in Cao Cao's opinion, it does ensure that the Great Wei is running normally now, and it can even be said to be thriving!

As for Zaoyi, although he is not very talented in other internal affairs, but in the matter of agriculture, it can be said that even capable ministers like Xun Yu, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia are not as good as him, of course, Cao Cao's Tuntian policy is also planned by him!

Due to the existence of Hua Tuo and the medical palace he founded, Zao, who should have died young, is still alive and kicking until now.

It is expected that the imperial court will be able to obtain more than 10 million quintals of grain from all over the country, and the reserves of the local treasury will increase to 30 million stones.

Cao Cao put down the piece in his hand and was in a particularly good mood.

Cao Cao came outside. Looking at the silver under the moonlight, Cao Cao almost wanted to shout.

Half a month later, a flying pigeon with red feathers flew into a peaceful Chang'an from the west, and then an urgent report was handed to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it, and immediately ordered all the cabinet ministers to go to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.

The four cabinet ministers who stayed behind hurried to the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as they entered, Xun Yu arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, but something urgent happened?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and asked Cui Yingying to pass on the handbook on the case.

The four of them couldn't help but be shocked after reading the book.

"Your Majesty, how could such a thing suddenly happen? Zhuo Yifan, why didn't they show any signs beforehand? Xun You was very surprised.

Cao Cao shook his head and frowned, "You can't blame Zhuo Yifan!" It's hard to avoid something like this! ”

"This matter must have nothing to do with the Jin people!" Chen Gong frowned.

Cao Cao nodded and sneered, "This is obvious! Two beauties of the Jin Kingdom who were sent by the Jin people assassinated Vesudeva while they were sleeping! It seems that they have made some secret pact with the Moonlord! ”

"As soon as Vesudeva dies, there will not be much suspense about the situation in Kushan!" Jia Xu frowned.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "I won't let Jin Ren and Yue Duo succeed so easily!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is imperative that General Zilong closely monitor Guishuang's every move in case of contingencies!" Jia Xu arched his hand.

Cao Cao nodded: "Tell Zilong that you can attack with a camera, and you don't need to ask for instructions!" Let Zhuo Yifan bring back the detailed information of all aspects of Guishuang as soon as possible! ”

Before the evening of the same day, another urgent flying pigeon herald flew to Chang'an from the west.

"It seems that the situation is better than expected! Although the Jin people regained control of Nissa, and Yueduo also defeated Kozhile in the east, Shuksa supported the second son of Visudeva as emperor in the western town of Yangsuke, temporarily blocking the attack of the Jin people and Yueduo! Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we have to intervene with troops! Guishan must not be unified again or fall under the control of the Jin people, only by dividing Guishan is the best for my Great Wei! Jia Xu said coldly.

Cao Cao nodded, and thought for a moment, "Tell Zilong that if he receives Shuksa's request, he will attack with the camera!" Otherwise, don't move! ”

The four of them understood what Cao Cao meant, and nodded.

Cao Cao walked down the steps to the sand table in a corner of the hall, and the four of them followed, and the sand table in front of him reflected the current situation of the entire Great Wei Empire and the surrounding situation.

Cao Cao picked up a wooden stick on the side of the sand table and suddenly lit the Jinren Fortress north of Dingbei City.

The four of them couldn't help but be stunned.

"The Golden Man's Fortress is like a nail that makes it difficult for me to sleep! Although our Dingbei City has blocked the passage of the Jin people from here to the south, the Jin people can still rely on the strong fortress to accumulate grain, grass and soldiers! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you want?" Xun Yu asked in surprise.

Cao Cao nodded, "The Jinren's fortress has always been a threat to our Great Wei, we must pull it out!" ”

The four of them were silent for a moment, and Jia Xu said: "The Jin Country Fortress can be said to be the core of the Jin people's defense system!" Not only is there plenty of grain and grass, and the city defense is strong, but the 150,000 troops led by the general of the expedition to the south are guarding here! Capture it ······"

Jia Xu couldn't help frowning.

Cao Cao said with some heaviness: "To capture this strong fortress, our army will definitely pay a heavy price!" But this battle is imperative! ”

"Your Majesty's consideration is indeed very thoughtful! In fact, this is the time to attack this fortress, according to the current situation, the strategic center of gravity of the Jin people is indeed still in the west, and most of its main force is in the west, once our army is launched, they must spend at least a month to reinforce! In this month's time, our army may be able to take the fortress! However, I am afraid that Zilong will be under unimaginable pressure! Xun Yu analyzed.

Cao Cao understood what Xun Yu meant, once the Wei army attacked the fortress, the most likely action of the Jin people was to concentrate the army in the west to storm the Kangju to the line of the fortress of the Green Ridge, although the strength of the Wei army in the Western Regions was 450,000 people, but the real elite was only a Xiongnu iron cavalry, and the defensive front of this line was very long! Once the main force of the Jin army comes to attack with all its might, I am afraid that it will be a tragic battle!

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate, because it was entirely possible for the Jin people's power in the west to break through the Wei army's defense line in the Western Regions, and if that was the case, it would be bad!

Cao Cao paced back and forth, Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Xun You did not disturb Cao Cao, the situation in front of him was obvious, the pros and cons of attacking the fortress were obvious, the key was whether Zhao Yun's side could withstand it!

Cao Cao stopped pacing: "Send a book to Zilong and ask him!" ”

For the first time, Cao Cao seemed so hesitant when dealing with a big matter

The next morning, Cao Cao received a reply from Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said in the letter: "The last general and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will definitely be able to resist the army outside the Saiwai, Your Majesty rest assured!" The last will knock! ’

Zhao Yun's reply made Cao Cao make up his mind.

"The First Legion and the Second Legion are ready for battle at once! Mobilize all the catapults in the Arsenal! Don't place the target just yet! Cao Cao ordered categorically

Xun Yu and Chen Gong agreed. (To be continued.) )
