Yili is adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains and has rare rainfall-rich soil in Xinjiang and Central Asia. However, due to its deviation from the main line, only a few shepherds could reach here in this era. Before Cao Ren arrived here, this place was almost a primitive fertile soil.
.
Seeing that these hundreds of miles of fertile land and humid climate could support soldiers and people, Cao Ren, as the vanguard, did not hesitate and immediately ordered people to return to Chang'an to inform the news. He himself was sitting here, preparing to build it as the Cao family's invasion of the Central Plains.
The bridgehead.
Of course, Cao Ren has no idea where their main attack direction will be in the future. He is just using this place as a good bridgehead for the old Cao family to transfer their resources and heritage abroad.
The urgent secret letter sent back by Cao Ren quickly gave Cheng Yu great confidence. He compared the ancient books and determined that it was the wet island in Central Asia named Yili by the predecessors. He immediately no longer had any hesitation, representing Cao Yu.
Legions of family members began to move there.
As for the candidates for the generals, they were all Cao Cao's confidants, most of whom were ministers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. However, what surprised Cheng Yu was that among these people were Xu Huang and Pang De.
But then Cheng Yu understood Cao Cao's plan. Xu Huang and Pang De were both very good generals. Although Pang De was Ma Teng's subordinate, he had been trying to integrate into Cao Cao's forces. This time, Pang De was actually given the opportunity.
It's more about explaining Cao Cao's attitude towards him, which is a very important point.
As for Xu Huang, Xu Huang saved Yang Xiu's life when the Dachao Society was tricked by the Yang family. However, the Yang family's actions also completely consumed Yang Feng's kindness in recommending Xu Huang, and even made those who wanted to integrate
Xu Huang, under Cao Cao, was extremely passive.
So after that incident, Xu Huang, who originally had a low sense of presence, simply lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in front of people. You must know that Xu Huang killed the general of the Northern Huns in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. Such a great achievement was actually mixed up.
To this extent, we can see the impact that incident had on Xu Huang.
Cao Cao handed over such an important task to Xu Huang at this time. With Xu Huang's character, he would definitely repay him with death.
Such a move can regain a famous general, which is very important to Cao Cao now, not to mention that Xu Huang, who lives in seclusion, can carry out this mission even more deceitfully.
From the time he received the news to now, Cheng Yu has transferred the Cao family's information to Yili to the maximum extent, and brought tens of thousands of soldiers there with him. This large-scale transfer has greatly consumed the Cao family's strength.
So much so that Lao Cao's family was at a loss.
However, Zao Zhi has promised Cheng Yu that if the soil quality is really as good as what Cao Ren sent back, then they will be self-sufficient next year, and this is a very important point.
"This is already the maximum limit. It is impossible to continue mobilizing supplies there. This kind of long-distance journey, before the road is repaired, the current situation is probably the limit." Cheng Yu flipped through the entries in his hand before continuing.
If they move, the country will be greatly affected. Although that will be their source of strength in the future, for now, the country is their foundation.
"That is to say, do we need to stop transferring resources now?" Liu Ba frowned and said, because this kind of matter involves the transfer of money and food, so there is no way to hide it from Liu Ba, who is in charge of this aspect, so from the beginning
From the beginning, Liu Ba entered this circle.
"Yes, we have allocated a lot of resources and invested them there to build our bridgehead. However, because the road has not yet been built, and based on the information I have now, it is actually impossible to build the road to our location.
Cheng Yu said with a gloomy expression.
"There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is not easy to be discovered. As for the disadvantage, needless to say, the transportation of grain and grass at such a distance will become a huge trouble." Xun You nodded silently and said with his eyebrows. He already understood Cheng Yu.
idea.
"Our plan is to open up wasteland on the spot. I have subsequently mobilized a group of field soldiers. According to the soil quality there, we will be self-sufficient in about next year." Cheng Yu nodded and said, "What is left now
It is to complete the final battle in the country."
Xun You and Liu Ba nodded silently. Compared with the bridgehead to the west of the Western Regions, which can be completed after construction begins, the current domestic situation is the most troublesome.
"Do you have any information from Lieutenant Liu?" Xun Yu, who had been silent for the whole time, slowly said, "How far will they go with us in this battle?"
"Same as before, after Taiwei Liu has completed his household registration, it is unlikely that our intelligence line will penetrate into it. Although we have thought of a way to crack it, it is still difficult to make progress in a short period of time."
Xun You said calmly.
"Let's give up the intelligence collection there first and conduct an internal personnel investigation. Before the final battle comes, we will select all our own people first." Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, they no longer have so much time to waste.
, it is almost a matter of time before the final battle comes. This is already a clear sign, and there is no need to think about it any more.
Xun You nodded and understood Xun Yu's thoughts. External intelligence is no longer important at this period. On the contrary, internal investigation will determine their overall strength in the future. When the current situation has been determined, give up the immediate situation.
, pursuing long-term interests is also a choice.
"Give Sun Boxu all the information we have now and let him make preparations in advance. The Yangtze River is no longer a natural hazard, and under the will of those two people, Sun Boxu will not have many choices.
Let him make plans early." Xun Yu flipped through the information and slowly raised his head and said.
Some time ago, the focus of Xun Yu's work has shifted from the domestic situation to the layout and arrangements abroad. However, the biggest obstacle to Xun Yu now is the manpower and dispatch. It is absolutely impossible to complete this series of things in a covert manner.
It's not that easy.
"I have transcribed a large amount of information. After sorting it out today, it will be sent directly to Yangzhou. Sun Bofu and we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. They don't have many choices. Giving this to them will be a good thing for both of us.
There are benefits to all." Cheng Yu stood up the information in his hand and sorted it out on the table twice, with a flash of light in his eyes.
"It's not that easy. Jiangdong is different from us. Although our intelligence network has been destroyed to some extent, I still received some information. The sea is not stable. Gan Xingba was completely wiped out by his opponents before.
Compared to us, there probably aren't many places in Jiangdong where we can transfer information, and the sea is not safe." Xun You shook his head and said.
"We have already made plans. As for whether we can transfer, that is not what we have considered. The Lord has already sent a message to the other side and is preparing to train the troops." Xun Yu said slowly, "Compared with those elites in the past, our soldiers lack
The most important part is the fight."
"The battlefield to the west of the Western Region?" Cheng Yu nodded. This did not exceed his guess. After all, when Chen Xi sent those people to the west of the Western Region, he led a lot of soldiers. I'm afraid there is no peace there, but no.
Peace or not, the Army and the others have nothing to fear.
"I don't know how the unification war will start. With Liu Taiwei's military strength, even if we only count the 400,000 soldiers on the surface, we have no chance of winning." Xun You said with a wry smile, "They will definitely
There are other hidden elites, but there is no need to do this when facing our opponent, they no longer need too many calculations."
"If I were the other party, I would probably directly declare a war, giving us and Sun Bofu enough time to mobilize their troops, and end this troubled times with the war of the Spring and Autumn Period." Cheng Yu slowly raised his head and said, "After all, this is
He is a dignified teacher, so it would be more appropriate to use ancient etiquette as the criterion."
"It is indeed very possible to make a fight. Is it the ancient etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period? Is it the so-called etiquette? And yes, this method is equivalent to telling us that they will abide by the ancient etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period in the future." Xun
Yu nodded and said that this kind of thing was very possible.
"Actually, I don't really want to use this method, but we don't have many choices. The other party is qualified to be merciful, and we can only accept this kind of mercy." Xun Yu continued, obviously after he asked this
Before the incident, I already had an answer in my heart.
"There is no choice. As for the location, it is nine out of ten that it is Nanyang."
The war between Liu Bei and Cao Sun came to an end.
Even if it still has the background of a wealthy family, after its foundation has been weakened several times, the Nanyang family that once dominated the world has been completely destroyed.
A political force that claimed to dominate the political arena of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time completely lost its power under such continuous blows.
"Nanyang." Cheng Yu said with a sigh and a bit of ridicule, "Another force that can control the country has disappeared. Every step has its own calculation. I am afraid that the Nanyang family will never be able to unite again. The entire Nanyang family
If it turns into a battlefield, people will be moved away."
"Now that the matter has come to this, let me say no more and let me fulfill my original promise to Chen Zichuan. The five-year plan is indeed a very good strategy." Xun Yu put his hands on his face and said solemnly, "It is also for this reason.
nation."
Xun You, Cheng Yu and others all nodded. Although they had their own selfish desires for Cao Cao, their own family, and for their descendants, in the face of the current general situation of the country, almost everyone was forced to do so.
