"Yes."

Sun Ce nodded heavily, and then said in frustration: "But I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity!" ”

Wu Guotai was stunned, "Why did Ce'er say this?" ”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "Didn't my mother just say that the world has been decided?" What's more, all the countries in the Western Regions are under the control of the Great Wei, and the Liaodong barbarians have also surrendered, as for the Xiongnu and Xianbei, they have already become the eagle dogs of the Great Wei! Where is there a battle to be fought! ”

Wu Guotai smiled, "For my mother, I think that Ce'er's opportunity to really make contributions has not yet come!" ”

Sun Ce didn't know what to do, and asked suspiciously, "Mother, how do you say this?" ”

Wu Guotai shook his head, "It's hard to say now!" I believe that it will not be long before Ce'er herself will understand! ”

Sun Ce didn't ask and nodded.

"Mother, if there is nothing else to do, the son will retire!" Sun Ce said with a respectful face.

Wu Guotai nodded, "Remember what my mother said just now!" Also, your sister is now the concubine of the second prince, you can't make it difficult for her! ”

"Yes, the boy wrote it down!"

"You've got an injury, go down and get some rest!" Wu Guotai said with concern, and Sun Ce retreated in response.

Cao Cao stayed in the lake for two days, and then returned to the court, the first army, the second army, the third army, the Xuanjia cavalry, and the Hun army formed a mighty team, stretching for more than ten miles, and Cao Cao was accompanied by the Sun family.

At the same time as Cao Cao's class returned to the dynasty, Zhu Rong, the commander of the barbarian army, who was the general of the conquest, also led tens of thousands of barbarian troops under his command to leave Jianye and go west, and their destination was Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away.

Cao Cao decided. For a period of time in the future, Zhu Rong will be responsible for the defense of Jiaozhou and the vast areas south of it. For Cao Cao's trust in himself, Zhu Rong was very happy. However, she was also a little melancholy, this time, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to have the opportunity to see Cao **** again.

Two days later, the army entered Jingzhou, coiled for a day, the army continued to march in the direction of Chang'an, ten days later, on a sunny day, the mighty army finally returned to Chang'an. Immediately, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling, and almost all the people of the city flocked to the streets, shouting excitedly for the soldiers who were vying to witness the victory and return to the dynasty and Cao Cao, the emperor of the Great Wei, and the forbidden army responsible for maintaining the order of the people on both sides of the street with great difficulty.

Back in the palace, Cao Cao threw everything to Xun Yu and Chen Gong, and he couldn't wait to run into the harem.

For three days in a row, Cao Cao stayed in the harem and his wives were like glue, you and me, Cao Cao couldn't help but have a ridiculous idea that he would never be in the early dynasty. Of course, this is just a thought.

On the morning of the fourth day, Cao Cao finally appeared at the Fengtian Temple.

Cao Cao said apologetically to the people standing in His Highness: "I'm ridiculous! ”

Zhong Wenwu couldn't help but show a knowing smile, and Xun Yu came out and said: "Your Majesty and you have a deep affection, and they are separated by a few months. Naturally, it is human nature to be in love for a while! ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Okay." Don't gossip about it! ”

The first thing in the court was undoubtedly to give quite generous rewards to the generals who had made meritorious contributions to pacify Yangzhou. It is worth mentioning that many ordinary soldiers and officers at all levels who have made meritorious contributions to the war have also been promoted. However, of course, these matters were not handled in the court, nor were they handled by Cao Cao himself, but by the military department and lieutenant generals.

The second thing is that according to the current situation in China and the surrounding areas, Cao Cao decided to station the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army Corps, and the Xuanjia Cavalry in Chang'an, and transfer the Xiongnu Army to Yumen Pass.

Cao Cao originally wanted to transfer the Xiongnu army directly to the Western Regions, but Xun Yu and others thought that since this was so, they were only afraid that it would stimulate the nerves of the Western Regions countries and Guishan, so Cao Cao finally changed his decision.

After the completion of such a transfer, the distribution of the Wei army will be that the first, second, and third army corps and the Xuanjia cavalry will be stationed in the land of Chang'an and Gyeonggi, one part of the fourth and fifth army will be stationed in Yangzhou, the other part of the fifth army will be stationed in Bashu, Zhurong's 50,000 barbarian army will be stationed in Jiaozhou, the sixth army, the 50,000 Xianbei army and the Xiongnu army will be stationed in the line from the Western Regions to Yumen Pass, the seventh army will be stationed in Chongzhou, and the eighth army will still be stationed in Liaodong. Ganning's navy was stationed in the Yangtze River, centered on Chaohu Lake.

At this time, some officials in the court thought that now that the world had decided, some troops should be cut to save the court's expenses, and most of the officials in the three provinces and six ministries agreed.

After careful consideration, Cao Cao rejected this suggestion.

Not only that, Cao Cao then ordered the arsenal to step up the development of new weapons, and at the same time to make ballistas much as possible, hearing Cao Cao's order, everyone present felt that the flames of war would be ignited again in the near future, but this time the flames of war were completely different from before.

Cao Cao also promulgated a mistake aimed at encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland, those who reclaimed 20 acres of wasteland, owned the ownership of the land, and at the same time exempted from land tax for one year, and those who reclaimed 40 acres of wasteland, owned land ownership, and at the same time exempted from land tax for two years, but in order to prevent families and merchants from taking the opportunity to enclose land, this will only be for families other than scholars and merchants, Cao Cao actually had another purpose in doing this, that is, to further weaken the advantages of the scholars in terms of land, and at the same time force the merchants to put more power on handicrafts and management.

However, Cao Cao did not realize that there was another side effect of his will, because the common people generally owned land, although his popularity rose to an unprecedented height, but not many people were willing to work for the handicraft industry of the merchants!

This forced Cao Cao and the court officials to have to hit other countries with their ideas! In the future, the reason why the Wei army frequently conquered foreign countries was not only to realize Cao Cao's ideals, but more importantly, the need for labor for the primitive industries that flourished in China, coupled with the fact that Wei's financial revenue gradually shifted to commercial taxation in the future, so that the Wei court had to constantly expand and colonize for more huge taxes!

Otherwise, the tax revenue that is getting smaller and smaller year by year is enough to make the Wei officials, who are gradually accustomed to being lavish and not short of money, feel extremely bitter!

But these are all later words, so I won't go into details here.

Cao Cao also ordered that the garrisons in various places no longer have to participate in things that have nothing to do with their duties, such as Tuntian, and at the same time issued a series of decrees aimed at improving the social status of soldiers and their families, such as ordinary soldiers and their families do not have to kneel when they see civil officials below the seventh grade, and so on, military families will receive more care from the government, and if they are engaged in industry and commerce, they will receive additional care from the government, and so on.

However, if a soldier commits a crime, the punishment is more severe, and the crime is increased by one degree.

With the implementation of this series of policies, the land of China, which no longer has a golden dispute, has shown a thriving and vigorous scene, and confident and happy smiles have appeared on the faces of most of the people. (To be continued.) )
