Jiang Ji did not refute the Prime Minister's words. He knew that the Prime Minister did not want to give up Jingzhou easily.

Especially if you want to use Jingzhou to divide the Sun and Liu families and let them bleed more in Jingzhou, you will then think that you have suffered a loss in Zhengnan County.

No one is willing to let go easily, so there will definitely be a gap between the Sun and Liu families, and the alliance can be broken!

After the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army was depleted, Sun Quan besieged Hefei, and Boss Cao had no spare troops to rescue him.

Zhang Xi could only be sent to lead more than a thousand troops to try his luck. However, although Zhang Xi received the order, he did not dare to take the lead easily. Even if he took the lead, it would be of no avail.

Fortunately, Jiang Ji was more skilled and could convert one letter into three letters, which frightened Sun Quan into relieving the siege.

"Zitong, in the past, Yuan Benchu ​​and I faced each other in Guandu and moved the people to Yan, Baima and other places. The people never fled, and the enemy troops never came to plunder the people.

And now, although Sun Quan was frightened by your half-letter, he retreated.

However, Hefei was in danger, and there were rebellions in Huainan such as Chen Lanmeicheng and others, which were not put down.

The Battle of Chibi caused great losses in the Central Plains. I want to move the people from Huainan to fill the Central Plains. What do you think?"

Jiang Ji thought for a moment, then immediately handed over his hands and said: "Prime Minister, this is absolutely impossible!

During the Battle of Guandu, the enemy was strong and we were weak. If the people were not relocated, they would be displaced and would be captured by Yuan Shao.

But since the prime minister defeated Yuan Shao, conquered Liucheng in the north, and crossed arms with Jiang, Han, and Jingzhou in the south, the prime minister was so powerful that the people had no other ambitions.

But the people in Huainan all miss their old land and cannot move easily.

An order from the Prime Minister will definitely make him fearful and uneasy, which will be detrimental to me."

Cao Cao pinched his beard and thought about it. He had made up his mind and did not want to discuss the matter.

"What Zi Tong said makes sense. Well, no need to say more, I will issue an order to let the people of Huainan migrate." Boss Cao nodded while stroking his beard.

Jiang Ji:???

Didn't I just say it in vain?

Jiang Ji saw that his remonstrance was ineffective, and the prime minister had already told him to shut up, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

"Zitong is tired from the journey. Come down and rest."

"Here."

Jiang Ji stood up obediently, bowed and exited the hall.

"Ming Gong, what Jiang Zitong said is not unreasonable." Xun Yu on the side suggested again.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Wen Ruo, there is no need to say anything more about this matter."

Xun Yu naturally handed him over and proclaimed himself Prime Minister. He had already made up his mind, so he had to find a way to appease the people of Jianghuai and prevent them from fleeing to Jiangdong due to the Prime Minister's order and taking advantage of Sun Quan.

The Battle of Chibi caused a huge loss of population in the Central Plains, and there was an urgent need to replenish the population.

Whether from Jianghuai or Jingzhou, the Prime Minister was unable to conquer the Sun and Liu families in a short period of time.

In order to prevent the two families from growing, they had to first move the border people to live in the Central Plains to increase taxes and population for the court.

"Ming Gong, just now the Jianghuai messenger sent two letters, one from Zhang Wenyuan and one from Yu Wenze."

Xun Yu took out two bamboo slips from his desk and sent them to Cao Cao's desk.

Cao Cao put down Zhang Liao's bamboo slips and first picked up Yu Jin's letter. Among the "five good generals", Yu Jin strictly controlled the army and never hid the captured property privately.

Therefore, Boss Cao rewarded Jin very heavily, but Yu Jin used strict military laws to control the army, so he did not gain the support of his soldiers at all.

But Wenpin doesn't care, as long as Boss Cao appreciates him.

Boss Cao opened the bamboo slips and took a closer look. It turned out to be Wen Ze who had credulously believed in Mei Cheng's fake surrender and rashly returned to the army, causing Mei Cheng to join Chen Lan and lead the army to move to Tianzhu Mountain. He came here to apologize.

Then there is Zhang Liao's letter, which briefly mentions Yu Jin, and then the rebels gather together, just in time to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

However, all the generals disagreed, believing that Tianzhu Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and that the troops at hand were insufficient and that food and grass would be unsustainable.

Especially since Chen Lan had Sun Quan's tens of thousands of troops to support him, he was afraid that Zang Ba would not be able to withstand him and Sun Quan would attack his retreat.

But Zhang Liao did not ask for reinforcements, but only asked the prime minister to allocate grain and grass for him to continue to exterminate the rebels.

He must cut off the heads of Chen Lan, Meicheng and Chen to put down the rebellion.

After Boss Cao read it, he breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Lan and Sun Quan had colluded together.

If the war in Jingzhou is calmed down and Sun Quan and others start to use weapons again, it will be a headache for Chen Lanmei to respond in Jianghuai.

Fortunately, Cao Cao realized that he was prepared for a rainy day and was unable to protect Huainan in a short period of time, so he first moved the people from Jianghuai and other places to the Central Plains.

Kill two birds with one stone!

"Wen Ruo, we still need to find a way to mobilize some food and grass. Gongming and others may not be able to quell the rebellion in a short time, so I ordered Wen to escort the food and grass."

"Here." Xun Yu responded naturally.

Cao Cao was somewhat partial to Yu Jin, and this time he sent him to escort Zhang Liao and other generals who suppressed the rebellion, in order to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

"Ming Gong, we still need to accumulate strength in the future. We will not be able to eliminate the Sun and Liu families in a short time."

Xun Yu touched his beard and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He really suffered a big loss this time.

There is an urgent need to recuperate and recuperate, and it is even necessary to establish a pension plan as soon as possible for the families of soldiers serving in the army. The gap in what can be provided is not small.

For the current plan, we can only quell the rebellions in various places first, and allocate materials to support the widows in the army.

The first thing that matters is to suppress the rebellion, so that people's hearts can be stabilized, and then pensions can be issued.

Boss Cao pinched his forehead and felt more and more pain!

~~

At Hanjin Ferry, the fire was soaring into the sky.

Wenxiu shook off the blood on his knife and looked at the people who were crying and running away, leaving a mess behind. Many people who had been hit by arrows on the ground didn't even look at them, and then turned around and got on the boat.

Wenpin did not raise his banner, but took advantage of the night to leave Hanyang County, raised his banner and disguised himself as Liu Bei's men, and was able to sneak attack Hanjin Ferry.

Now he wants to move quickly to Jingcheng, preparing to seize the opportunity and ambush him.

I heard that Guan Yu sent people to transport the grain back to Jingcheng, and there were few soldiers stationed there. Couldn't it be a trap?

Wenpin stood on the bow of the boat and went upstream. At this time, he was surging and did not stop his adopted son's behavior.

Liu Bei must not be allowed to grow bigger. If things go well, he will be able to capture Jingcheng before Guan Yu can react in time.

"Father, the rebels at Hanjin Ferry have been almost killed. As for the common people, those with quick legs let them escape."

Wenxiu got on the boat and reported: "In order to deceive others, we have sent people to put out the fire."

Wenpin nodded. He didn't care about the performance at Hanjin Ferry. It was just a sneak attack. If he failed, it would be because of his improper command.

Wenpin hoped that Guan Yu would send his son to escort the grain and grass, so that the old and new grudges could be settled together.

"Such a great kindness." Wen Dai held the hilt of the sword and stood on the bow of the boat and said:

"Guan Yu, he definitely didn't expect that we would use this method to sneak attack on him."

A few days ago, Liu Jun's warships plied back and forth on the Han River, sending people to live in the four counties of Jingnan to fill the population there.

Everyone has long been used to it, and it makes sense to succeed today.

Only Wenpin thought to himself: "This is to repay the other person with his own way."

Just how Guan Ping plotted against him in front of Changbanpo and Dangyang Bridge, how would he return the same tactics to him today?

In Jingcheng, the county magistrate Su Fei looked at his sleeping men and was very satisfied. This showed that the whole group was not lazy.

According to the information he received, the people rowing through the Han River were like crucian carp crossing the river.

In this way, it can be regarded as completing General Guan's instructions.

Just after Su Fei turned around and went out, someone outside the city reported that Uncle Liu Huang had sent empty ships to transport people again.

Jingcheng County Magistrate Su Fei responded, not daring to delay, and hurriedly led a few people out of the city.

After dawn, a line of warships on the Han River went down the river and arrived at Jingcheng Ferry.

After Guan Ping was woken up, he asked his bodyguard Wang Xi to help him put on his armor. No matter what, he should be more careful.

Anyway, in his current state, wearing armor is as accustomed as wearing a piece of clothing.

The soldiers jumped off the warships, mostly to pee, and sent people to load and unload food.

Guan Ping took his big black horse and got off the boat for a walk.

Because of this movement, the people who were placed far away and did not know the truth were also alerted, and many people were picked up yesterday.

Unexpectedly, General Guan brought back a lot of grain and grass.

Among them, there are many barbarians from the mountains waiting here for the distribution of food.

Wenpin was standing on the gate tower of Jingcheng. There were only a few sparse soldiers standing guard on the city, while the rest were ambushing under the city wall.

Just wait for Guan Ping to lead his army into the city to catch turtles in an urn.

Wenpin had already spotted Guan Ping walking his horse at a glance. From this look, the boy's riding skills became more and more superb.

Back then, he had one horse and two men, and even had a death buckle, so why did I just believe his words!
