Chapter 437 Frying Pot

"Can we determine the distance between them?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, pointing to the distance between Qingzhou and Gaoli.

"About 1,000 kilometers or more." Chen Xi estimated and gave a rough distance. Since there was no actual survey, he could only speculate based on the world map in his previous life.

"You said before that the Japanese troops were harassing us, but is there any movement from the Korean side?" Cao Cao asked.

It was not that he had any suspicion, but that the straight-line distance between Kyushu Island at the end of Japan and Qingzhou was separated by Gwangju and Busan in Goryeo.

"According to the intelligence from the front line, it seems that northern Goryeo and Japan have reached some kind of agreement, and both north and south Goryeo are in turmoil, so Qingzhou will be harassed by Japan."

Li Ru said calmly that Jia Xu had some difficulties in infiltrating Goryeo, but he still had the basic information.

"So Jianye will also be exposed to Japan's military front in the future?" Sun Jian suddenly appeared. His hometown is in Jiangdong, so how could he not be concerned about this matter.

"Yes, Japan is a fatal threat to our Han Dynasty along the coast!" Chen Xi nodded.

Although he now doesn't know why Japan didn't choose Jianye as the point of attack, it is probably the influence of sea beasts that forced Japan to take over Korea.

I just don’t know what agreement the two sides reached. According to Jia Xu’s speculation, the most likely possibility is that in order to obtain help from the Japanese, Yeon Gaesumun gave up some of his interests and attacked southern Goryeo with the Japanese.

At present, the enemies appearing along the coast of Qingzhou are carrying out violent tactics in order to contain the Han Dynasty and prevent the Han Dynasty from participating in the battle for the unification of Goryeo.

"Then can you send someone to contact the leader of Southern Goryeo?" Lu Su frowned and asked. In his opinion, the enemy of his enemy is his friend. If he can get in touch with Southern Goryeo, he can disturb the waters of Goryeo.

is more turbid.

"It's very difficult. The biggest problem is that we currently can't spare any manpower. If we simply send military generals there, I'm afraid it won't be of much help to the situation."

Li Ru shook his head. Jia Xu had tried it a long time ago, but the other party's attitude was very strange, so he could only let it go.

"Then wait for spring..."

Xun Yu just wanted to ask Youzhou to put pressure on Goryeo from the north next spring, but he immediately thought that they might not be able to deal with Goryeo next spring, and the barbarians in the north would be a big trouble.

"How about attacking the southern part of Goryeo in the east and hiring barbarians from the north to deal with Goryeo?" Zhuge Liang said.

"..." The Han Dynasty courtiers immediately focused their attention on Zhuge Liang.

"Tell me more specifically!" Chen Xi asked with squinted eyes. Zhuge Liang's proposal was very bold, but also very constructive.

"The Han Dynasty does not seem to be short of food and grass at present, and all the states, counties and counties are barely able to survive. Why don't we mobilize a batch of food and grass to hire the Southern Huns and other barbarians to attack Goryeo and completely transfer the contradiction away."

Zhuge Liang was not stage frightened and pointed to the grassland in the north of Youzhou naturally.

"This method is good!" Li Ru instantly understood what Zhuge Liang meant. Isn't this the same as Xiliang cavalry hiring Qiang people as auxiliary troops?

Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were indeed very famous among the Hu people. It seemed to be a very good idea to use the Hu people as auxiliary troops to plunder Goryeo.

"If the southern part of Goryeo is wise, they can still provide this food!" Zhuge Liang added.

"Okay! This method is very good! Kill three birds with one stone, what a good strategy!"

Xun Yu immediately clapped his hands and applauded. Zhuge Liang's plan would not only reduce the pressure on Qingzhou, but also solve the troubles in northern Youzhou, and even allow Goryeo to continue to fall into the quagmire of war.

"So, the Northeast Plains seems to be a good place!" Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and thought of something he had forgotten.

Having been in this era for so long, I almost forgot that the Northeast Plains are still undeveloped.

Opening up wasteland in the northeastern plains is not difficult in this world with inner energy and cloud energy, and the most difficult thing originally was the problem of farming after opening up wasteland. In the original Three Kingdoms period, there were not as many people as there are now.

After the Northeast Plains is enlarged, it will be at least more than 10 million hectares, more than 10 million hectares of black land, which can be used as a large granary in the eastern war zone.

"I suddenly remembered something!"

Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it out. This thing will benefit early if it is developed early. A large black land like the Northeast Plain is really suitable for growing food.

"If I remember correctly, there should be nearly 10 million hectares of black land in the area of ​​Goryeo, Liaodong, and Youzhou. It should be barren now. There are five to six months of winter in that place a year, but

The land is very suitable for farming.”

"That place will be a granary, a granary that surpasses the five major grain-producing areas in the Central Plains. Even if we build the canal, it may not be as good as that place!"

Chen Xi said ambiguously, and then the minds of all the courtiers who heard it collapsed.

As soon as Chen Xi said this, the whole place was completely silent, including Liu Ying who was dozing above, her eyes widened.

Zhonghuajia has been cultivating the skill of farming since ancient times. The black land in Northeast China mentioned by Chen Xi is simply shocking.

As a flower planter that started as an agricultural civilization, everyone knows the importance of food, so everyone understands what a large grain-producing land that can grow food means.

Such a good grain-growing land, you actually say it is barren.

No one doubts Chen Xi's words. As the prime minister, Chen Xi has long proven his ability, and everyone is used to Chen Xi's amazingness.

"Conscription, must be conscripted, five million conscripts, how can such a precious place be left desolate! It's just Goryeo, how can the barbarians survive in such a place!"

Someone said something on the spot, and everyone felt that this kind of speech full of domineering thoughts should be like this.

At this moment, the Han Dynasty officials showed a high degree of consistency, because this new grain-producing area not only represents the interests of the country, but is closely related to the interests of each of them.

Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. Chen Xi has long tied everyone to the big ship of the Han Dynasty. Their interests are closely related to the country. The more developed the country, the more they will benefit.

"Everyone, calm down! Listen to me!" Chen Xi raised his voice helplessly.

"What else is there to say? Just start the troops from Youzhou and Jizhou and march to the Northeast. Even if we risk our lives, we will completely capture that place!"

Li Ru said coldly that he was really dissatisfied with Chen Xi at this moment. Since Chen Xi knew why he didn't say it earlier.

As a person who has truly suffered from hunger and seen food exchanged for food, he simply cannot tolerate the desolation of a grain-producing land.
