Chapter 1465 Ballads on Jiangzhu for Thousands of Years
"Jiangdong..."
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, uttered two words, and then fell silent.
Like most people in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's understanding of Jiangdong was still very shallow. In fact, until the Jin Dynasty was forced to transfer, most people in the Han Dynasty did not think that Jiangnan and Jiangdong were so good. After all, the Lianghe Plain, Central China
North China is the king's road. The land is flat, the grain production is good, and transportation is very convenient.
However, the news from the spy sent to Jiangdong showed that Sun Ce's power was so huge that Cao Cao couldn't help but worry. He spanned four counties and encompassed nearly thirty cities. If we simply talk about the number of counties, it even exceeded Cao Cao himself. This
It had to make Cao Cao feel a lot of fear.
If Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, at the last moment, Sun Ce made a move at the last moment, and then reaped the benefits...
In that case, wouldn't Cao Cao have wasted the past two years?
Cao Cao's original plan was to eat Yuan Shu and then grow up on Yuan Shu's bones, and then he could think of coercing the emperor to control the princes. If he was not strong, what could he do even if he had the emperor? Drawing lessons from the past, Wang Yun Wang
Situ's flying body leaped into view.
"This matter is known, you go and rest for now..." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked a black-clothed civil servant to retreat first.
Cao Cao walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and then said in a deep voice: "Come here! Invite the Chinese army to offer wine!" The Chinese army was offering wine, it was Guo Jia.
During this period, because Cao Cao felt that his surroundings were very unstable and could not even sleep well, he formed a school affairs team under Guo Jia's suggestion. The so-called school affairs are to inspect the school.
The meaning of affairs is actually a mixture of military constitution and secret service. It is independent from the army, and then responsible to Cao Cao, directly underwriting various affairs, and then it expanded crazily, and now it has been extended to many areas...
Of course, on the surface, Cao Cao said that the military lieutenant colonel was temporarily established to rectify military discipline. If the army wants to be strong, it must declare discipline. In ancient times, there was Sima Rangju, and there was Yafu Xiliu nearby. There is no military discipline.
If there is no order, the sergeants are tyrannical, so school affairs must be established. Moreover, now that the army is under the imperial court, it is even more necessary to correct the names of officials. Robbery, indiscriminate killing, etc. must be prohibited. Only in this way can the world return to its heart and the people eat pots of pulp to welcome this...
Under the grand words, no one could express any objections, but in fact, Cao Cao still had a Nugget captain behind his back, and even if he saw it, he would treat it as invisible.
In history, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao later broke up, Chen Lin wrote an apology, which said: "Also, King Xiao of Liang and Kun, the late emperor's mother, are honored in their tombs; the pines and cypresses in the mulberry tree are still suitable for reverence. And Cao, the commander-in-chief, and the officials came to excavate them in person
, broke the coffin of the naked corpse, and plundered the gold and treasure... Cao also specially appointed the lieutenant general in the hair hill, and the gold captain, and no body was exposed in the sudden changes..."
It is said that Cao Cao collected military supplies by stealing graves and digging up graves. Although it is exaggerated and slanderous, it is also groundless and unfounded. However, Chen Lin was also always laughing. At that time, nine of the ten princes were in the capital.
Did Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao dig graves secretly? Cao Cao was by no means the most egregious one. After all, it was a common practice in the Han Dynasty to pay lavish burials. There were even some families who were ruined by funerals, so they dug graves.
It has become a convenient means of making windfall money.
In fact, Cao Cao's army in the early days was no different from ordinary warlords. After all, it had to feed such a large population, and it was not like a streamlined army like General Zhengxi. It was often just a bunch of people with families and families. The data looks good, but it looks good.
, the actual pressure is not small.
However, now that Cao Cao has welcomed the emperor, he will be more restrained and no longer as unscrupulous as before. Therefore, the establishment of a school in the military has gradually been accepted by most people, and as the person in charge of the transfer, it is Guo Jia.
Guo Jia arrived not long after. Cao Cao first asked Guo Jia to sit down. Without much foreshadowing, he directly talked about Jiangdong's affairs and expressed his worries about Sun Ce.
"If the people from Jiangdong are looking for an opportunity to come up..." Cao Cao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Is there any countermeasure for being filial?"
Guo Jia is a smart person. After hearing Cao Cao's words, he knew that Cao Cao already had a plan in mind. He just needed Guo Jia to verify it, or let Guo Jia be the scapegoat.
Otherwise, if something like this is considered a military and state matter, why not summon all the ministers to discuss it together, but instead call Guo Jia alone to answer the question?
Therefore, Cao Cao's calling Guo Jialai is a hint that Cao Cao does not intend to take the normal route. And this abnormal method is actually very simple...
Guo Jia sighed silently in his heart.
Why did Cao Cao find him? It was not because Guo Jia came from a poor family and did not have many involvements. Just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty liked to promote some children from poor families to serve as court ministers. If something happened, he would not abandon these children from poor families.
He has too many worries because of his family and so on.
"Haha..." Guo Jia said with a smile, "My lord, why should I worry about you? He is light and unprepared, has a quick temper and lacks strategy. He is a brave man, and he will surely die at the hands of villains one day..."
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "Really?"
Guo Jia nodded.
Cao Cao also nodded and said with a smile: "Now that I have a filial piety, I have nothing to worry about!"
Guo Jia bowed and said, "It's your duty..."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were a monarch and his minister.
"That's right!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "I have newly obtained some Pingyang Sanhua wine. It is brewed with peach blossoms in spring, osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. It has the fragrance of the three flowers and absorbs the beauty of the year. It is just the right time to bring it as a tribute.
Two altars!”
"In this case, I would be disrespectful!" Guo Jia smiled, accepted Cao Cao's reward, and then withdrew and returned home. After a moment of silence, he asked the servants at home to open the wine jar without adding anything.
The dishes were poured and drank by oneself.
I don’t know how to feel sad when I’m young, but I feel like I’m a good official, so I want to go upstairs, and go upstairs, where silk, satin, and fine wine are indispensable, and the scenery is beautiful. Now I go upstairs, and then go up again, but I only see the cold weather, what an autumn...
Autumn, the five elements belong to gold, is responsible for war and killing. Is it really a good autumn? Do you mean the autumn scenery?
Guo Jia smiled, raised the wine cup, stretched out his hand forward, and said to the void in the air: "I would like to honor you! Drink to win! Drink to win..." After saying that, he drank it and then spit it out.
A long breath of alcohol.
"...What's wrong..." Xun walked in from outside the courtyard and saw Guo Jia sitting at the booth drinking. He frowned slightly and said with some disdain, "...it's still bright and you're drinking now? You're really...
…Not even any dishes?”
Xun turned around and said to his men, "Go to the Qianjie Restaurant and ask him to bring some seasonal dishes..." His men responded before turning around and leaving.
"I want to buy roasted leg of lamb!" Guo Jia added from behind, "You don't need anything else, but roasted leg of lamb is a must!"
Xun's attendant stopped and glanced at Xun. Xun helplessly waved his hand and told the attendant to leave it alone. The attendant bent down and went out with his head pressed against his head. He didn't know if he could not help laughing if he raised his head.
come out……
Xun took off his clogs and walked into the hall. The wooden board in front of the hall seemed to be a little loose, and it made a creaking sound when he stepped on it.
The Laughing Guo Jia’s Butler.
"Don't blame him..." Guo Jia shook the wine baron and said, "The money originally used for repairs... well, I used it to drink... Anyway, if it is repaired, it might break again sometime, so it's better not to do it again.
build……"
Xun: "..."
Xun sat down in front of Guo Jia and was silent for a moment. He waved his hand for everyone to leave, and then whispered: "My lord is looking for you...for...Jiangdong?"
Guo Jia held the wine prince's hand and paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"What do you want, my lord?" Xun's eyes flickered for a few times, and then he said, "Could it be..."
Guo Jia didn't say a word, just drank.
"..." Xun frowned deeply and said, "How can it be like this! You must know that you don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. How can you do such a trivial thing! If it spreads, won't the world laugh at you?"
Guo Jia laughed twice and said vaguely: "Really? My master didn't do anything...how could he be laughed at? Haha..."
Xun shook his head and said: "This is not your fault, how can you accept this crime? In the past, Yuan Jiuji paid for the assassination and killed Duke Qin... The princes were all frightened, so Liu Jingzhou surrounded and attacked... Now if others know, I
If someone else behaves like this, wouldn’t it be worse than Yuan Jiujiu? It’s not appropriate. When someone finds the master, he must be persuaded not to do this..."
After Xun finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but Guo Jia grabbed his sleeve and almost fell over.
At that time, Yuan Shu may have felt that Cao Cao was too much of a threat, or he wanted to save some trouble. Anyway, he did not use the method of attacking with a large army. Instead, he found some rangers and warriors from Runan and came in disguise to assassinate Cao Cao. As a result, Qin Lang
Because this unlucky guy was about the same height and beard as Cao Cao, these Yuan Shu's assassins thought he was Cao Cao and died unexpectedly. Cao Cao was able to escape the disaster.
From then on, basically no matter where Cao Cao went, he would bring a large number of guards with him to prevent any unexpected events.
This is what Xun said about not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you. Since Cao Cao hated being assassinated by others, why did he let Guo Jia go to Jiangdong to arrange such a thing?
"Don't be impatient..." Guo Jia signaled, asking Xun to sit down again, then picked up the wine spoon, poured a glass of wine for Xun, and said, "... My lord, this is a helpless move... Listen here
Someone said..."
Xun was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have some realization. He held the table and sat down again. He straightened his robe that was pulled a little crooked by Guo Jia, and nodded, as if to indicate that Guo Jia could talk...
Guo Jia drank another gulp, and pointed to the wine jug in front of Xun with a hint of drunkenness. Xun reluctantly picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and then looked at Guo Jia.
"##..." Guo Jia muttered something vaguely, and then said, "My lord, if you take this strategy, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages... Wen Ruo just imagine, if Yuan Gongdao is destroyed, we will continue to send troops
Is it better to go south, or..."
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, then drank another gulp.
When Xun heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent. Then he sighed slightly, looked at the wine cup in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
Except for some people with special hobbies, most people don't like dirty things, but dirty things are definitely inevitable and there are always people who have to do them.
Due to Yuan Shu's own reasons, Jiangdong Sun Ce rebelled against the revolution after Yuan Shu. Although his behavior of pursuing his own interests seemed somewhat unloyal, most people still chose interests in front of him. So for Cao Cao
, continuing to attack Jiangdong southward may be considered by many people as a more righteous approach, but the benefits it brings are not many...
First of all, the distance from Yanzhou to Jiangdong is much longer than the distance from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, Yuzhou, or even Xuzhou. The last time Cao Cao went to Xuzhou, Yanzhou rebelled, which must have left a very deep impression on Cao Cao.
Although it is said that the emperor has been welcomed now, the emperor's performance in the court cannot be completely reassuring.
At least it couldn't make Cao Cao feel relieved.
So under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao move his army too far away from Yanzhou to conquer Jiangdong?
And there is Yuan Shao here...
In addition, there are many noble families in Jiangdong. Even if you can conquer them, it will not be possible to win over these people in a day or two. If something changes in Yanzhou at this time, should you save them or not?
Returning to the army is tantamount to giving up the territory once again. If you don't return to the army, then wouldn't the base area in the rear area that you have worked so hard to manage over the past few years fall into the hands of others?
Therefore, sending troops to Jiangdong is a thankless task, but it cannot be ignored. The development speed of Sun Ce in Jiangdong in the past two years is too amazing. The six counties of Jiangdong have already won most of them. If it continues to develop at this momentum, sooner or later
Become a serious problem.
Even if there is no problem now, if in the future when Cao Cao is busy in the north, Sun Ce comes out from the south, the sour taste will...
Although the methods are somewhat inferior, if we can use the least manpower and investment to disrupt Jiangdong, make Jiangdong fall into disputes, have no time to care, or even be unable to recover...
Xun let out a long sigh and remained silent. After Guo Jiayi reminded him, Xun could more or less understand that perhaps this matter could only be handled in this way, which was the most suitable for the current situation.
"...this matter..." Xun shook his head, paused for a moment, shook his head again, and said, "In the end... alas... we have to make it right... What's more, in addition to Jiangdong, there are also
Zhengxi..."
Speaking of this, Xun suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Jia.
"..." Guo Jia did not speak, but smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked outside the hall, and after a long time, he sighed slowly...
