In desperation, Cao Cao could only press his anger in his heart, search for merchants, and began to sell resources, coal and other materials. Although it was not mined, the foundation was there. The merchant estimated the price and then gave the corresponding price. Cao Cao decided to sell it to them. As for the mined labor, Cao Cao could provide it, but the wages were paid by merchants. From this, it can be imagined how much the merchant would suppress the price.

The major merchants will definitely not come forward to discuss with Cao Cao in person, but will just send some management personnel. Otherwise, Cao Cao would lose his life in anger, which would be a bit unprofitable.

After selling three coal mining sites, Cao Cao felt a little calmer and used the money in his hands to buy rice and grain from merchants.

The resources mined by the Xiliang Army were not only coal, but also cement. However, the materials were collected nearby, and they were not like coal. They needed a specific place to produce them.

Cao Cao was busy raising money, and Jia Rong was also busy. How to defeat Cao's army as quickly as possible? Once he decided to hit Cao Cao, all the officials would move, each perform his duties, and the war plans needed for the troops, horses, food and grass, and the war plan needed to be formulated specifically. Soldiers are a major event for the country, especially since the Daliang Kingdom was just established, and a victory would make the whole country happy.

Jingzhou has made certain developments in Liu Bei's hands. He has no mistakes in his hands for the governance of a strategist like Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei gradually discovered how well it was to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain. This strategist is not only proficient in the strategy of the battlefield, but also knows how to govern the local area. Many opinions and opinions are refreshing.

Therefore, Liu Bei's trust in Zhuge Liang became increasingly heavy, and Liu Bei did not even read many things and directly approved them.

However, Jingzhou has experienced the previous war with the Cao army. Although it has won the victory, the lack of combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army has also been reflected. Moreover, many military powers are controlled by the generals. It seems that it is not easy to let them hand over the power in their hands. Liu Bei has always attached great importance to the defense of the Cai family. Jia Rong ascended the throne and became emperor. Cai Mao's sister is one of Jia Rong's wives. Although the officials of Liang Kingdom do not admit that they have any connection with the Cai family, anyone with discerning eyes knows that once Cai Mao chooses to defect to Liang Kingdom, his status will be a royal relative.

Liu Bei was a royal family member, nominally assisting Liu Qi, so he naturally could not make extreme actions. The emperor of Jingzhou changed from Liu Cong to Liu Qi, and it seemed that the world had no reaction, because all his eyes were concentrated in Liang Kingdom. Liu Qi was a descendant of the royal family and ascending the throne and becoming emperor would not cause any storm. Jia Rong stood up as a civilian, and became emperor again, overthrew the imperial power of the Han Dynasty, which really stimulated the world.

However, at present, few people in the world can challenge the Xiliang Army. Even merchants from all over the world also regarded it as unheard of and secretly supported the Xiliang Army.

"Lord, now Jia Rong ascended the throne and became emperor, this is against the will of heaven. The world will inevitably be in turmoil and life will be in trouble." Zhuge Liang said earnestly. He had not seen that Jia Rong was already full of wings. No matter what means he had, it had no effect. His military strength was not as good as others. He had never heard of winning by relying solely on righteousness.

"Kong Ming said that, but the rebels in Xiliang are strong, and even Cao's army has been defeated repeatedly under his command, let alone Jingzhou." Liu Bei's tone was a little unconfident. Although he had never fought with the Xiliang army for many years, he saw it and saw it. He asked the weapons and armor given to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were so fine, let alone the generals in the Xiliang army were ten times more terrifying than Cao's army. When Jia Rong attacked Bingzhou, he only led 50,000 troops and almost pacified Bingzhou. When attacking Jizhou, he still had 50,000 troops and horses. The troops of the siege were far less than those of the defending city. What does this mean? Liu Bei felt a little scared when he thought about it.

"Lord, Jingzhou is a place of four battles. There is Cao Cao and Sun Quan staring at him and there is no danger to defend. However, there is one place that is the best place for Zhongxing the Han Dynasty."

"Where?" A glimmer flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, his tone was full of eagerness.

"The country of Tianfu in Yizhou has a fertile land of thousands of miles, and the surrounding passes can be defended. One man can pass tens of thousands of men. Even if the Xiliang army approaches Yizhou, it will not be able to get it well. Moreover, the land of Yizhou has rugged mountain roads and cavalry can't exert its combat power. In the past, Emperor Gaozu occupied Yizhou, which led to the Han Dynasty." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

"Kong Ming and Liu Yan of Yizhou were relatives of the Han Dynasty. He has been managing Yizhou for many years and worked diligently. If he took it, he would probably be ridiculed by the world." Liu Bei said.

"My lord, is it the king's land? Now Liu Qi is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Yan dares not to obey, it will be natural. If he dares not to obey the will of heaven, it will be a matter of course. Besides, Yizhou is not so stable on the surface. It is said that Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong and did not obey Liu Yan's orders. The lord can support Yizhou in this name and assist Liu Yan in pacifying Yizhou. Then he took it right for himself. It is said that Liu Yan was seriously ill and was in the world soon. Yizhou was weak. This is a good opportunity for heaven. After possessing Yizhou and Jingzhou, it will continue to develop. When the Central Plains changes, the two sides will send troops at the same time. "

"Okay, just because the military advisors don't know how many soldiers, horses, money, and food are enough to attack Yizhou?" Liu Bei said. Now he is a minister in the court, but the main force in his hand is still the soldiers who followed him at the time. Even if he gathered Cao Cao's defeated soldiers, there were only more than 20,000 people, which seemed to be a bit insignificant to attack Yizhou.

Hanoi County became a must-attack place for the Western Liang army. Although Cao's army was driven away from Luoyang in the previous battle, Cao Cao's background was still there. The army was stationed in Hanoi County, with many soldiers and generals. For a time, Jia Rong did not attack. Now the national strength is at its peak.

The attack on Hanoi County is a big deal. The Hanoi County Governor was the garrison of Xiahou Dun, the general of Cao's army. Xiahou Dun was a general who Cao Cao trusted very much and commanded the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army. However, after the battle in Jingzhou, the tiger and leopard cavalry lost more than half of the people and their strength was greatly damaged. Moreover, the Cao army fell into a financial crisis in a short period of time, and the number of tiger and leopard cavalry did not increase.

In the court, Jia Rong sat upright on the dragon throne, looking at the civil and military officials below, and his heart was filled with great ambitions. For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was within reach. The civil and military generals under his command had been tempered and many of them were independent figures when they were placed outside.

"The Liang Kingdom is in good weather, the national treasury is rich, the soldiers are working hard to train, and the generals are trying hard to fight and expand their territory. Now I want to include Hanoi County into the Liang Kingdom's territory. I wonder which general is willing to be a pioneer?" Jia Rong said lightly.

"The last wish." "The last wish." As soon as the words finished, several generals stood up.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "It is a blessing for Liang's country to be willing to use his life. I am very pleased. However, soldiers are a major event for the country. For generals, they must also know how to cherish the lives of their soldiers and not make meaningless sacrifices. Otherwise, they will not be a good general. The pioneer will open a road to the mountains and fill a bridge when they encounter water. When fighting, they will be the pioneer of the army, killing generals and catching flags and rushing to the enemy formation."

"Is General Ma confident that he will take on this important task?" Jia Rong turned his tone and turned his attention to Ma Chao. After many battlefield training, Ma Chao can be said to have grown up, not the child who always loved to follow him back.

"The last general will definitely not be disgrace to the mission of the Emperor." Ma Chao knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Well, it's great that General Ma can have such a determination. After he goes back, he will order all his troops and wait for the imperial edict."

"promise."

"The attack on Hanoi County is of great importance. The Hanoi garrison is also a famous general of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun, commanding the tiger and leopard cavalry. The tiger and leopard cavalry has combat power that is not inferior to our cavalry, so it must not be underestimated."

"General Huang is the commander of the army. Deputy Commander General Jiang has worked hard to order the troops and wait for the imperial edict." Jia Rong said.

The Xiliang Army mobilized many troops to attack Henei County this time, and naturally did not escape the Cao army's suspicion. In fact, the distance between Hanoi County and Luoyang was too close. Even if there were 30,000 soldiers in the city, the people and merchant families in the city still had no sense of security. The main reason was that the Xiliang Army was too powerful, so powerful that it was a level that people could stop. It was difficult to find the army that could be compared with the Xiliang Army, with strict military discipline, high fighting spirit, and orders. Every team could be called the name of elite soldiers.

"Zilong, what do you think about attacking Hanoi County?" After the court came, Jia Rong stayed Zhao Yun, Jia Xu and others.

"Master, my soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they fought 50,000 people, which is enough to pacify Hanoi County." Zhao Yun's tone was full of confidence. Now Zhao Yun is a former general of the Liang Kingdom, and his status can be said to be the highest among the generals.

"Well, Hanoi County is not worth worrying about, but Cao Cao's territory is wide and there are many soldiers. It cannot be pacified overnight." Jia Rong changed his tone and said, "Yuzhou, Jingzhou, bordering our army, it is not impossible to attack them."

Looking at Jia Rong's smile, Zhao Yun was shocked. It turned out that Jia Rong's purpose was not the Henei County, but Yuzhou and Jingzhou. In this way, the fate of Jingzhou and Yuzhou can be imagined. Needless to say, Jingzhou has Liu Bei in charge, and although it has resistance, it still seems a bit insufficient. As for the Zhuge Liang who has been celebrating the world recently, Zhao Yun has not taken it seriously. With absolute strength, any conspiracy is a bluff.

"Father-in-law, after you go back, let Chen Lin write a verdict to publish it, so that the whole world can know it. However, all this is aimed at Hanoi County. We must let Cao's army feel the firmness of our army's will to attack Hanoi County."

"No." Cai Yong replied respectfully. Although he was Jia Rong's father-in-law and a royal relative, Cai Yong never held his own identity in the court, and he was an official among the three provinces and had a high position and a powerful position.
