"Two years to recuperate and stop the conquest? This is an extremely stupid proposal. I wonder if it is Taiwei Yang's intention? Or is it His Majesty's intention?"
Far away, I could hear Cao Cao's roaring words in Deyang Palace.
Now, Yuan Shu has been eliminated and the Huainan region has been included.
Cao Cao, who was sitting in the four states of Si, Xu, Yan, and Henan, straightened his back. He changed his past respect and awe for the emperor and the imperial court, and became somewhat arbitrary in the direction of the court.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Deyang Hall was extremely cold.
Cao Cao was furious because of a proposal made by Lieutenant Commander Yang Biao.
Tread...
A low and heavy two-step.
Yang Biao walked out slowly, bowed his hands to His Majesty, and then looked at Cao Cao. "Cao Sikong, this is an old minister's suggestion and has nothing to do with the Emperor."
As soon as he said this, Yang Biao raised his hand and said loudly.
"Cao Sikong conquered the south and the north, annihilated the traitor Yuan Shu, the puppet emperor in Huainan, and helped the Han Dynasty to become powerful in all the nine provinces. He was really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. But I checked the granary yesterday and found that there were not many left. The old minister thought
, Now we should rest and recuperate, and be careful not to launch any more conquests. This is not only good for Your Majesty! It is also good for the court and Cao Sikong!"
It turns out that moving the capital to Xuchang City only took two or three years.
Cao Cao attacked Yuzhou and Yuan Shu, and fought in the south and north.
Even with the vigorous implementation of the farming system, the grain and grass in the granaries were still insufficient. Therefore, Taiwei Yang Biao proposed to use two years to recuperate and stock up on grain and grass, so as not to cause another war.
But...the truth is this. In fact, this matter is not that simple.
First and foremost…
He, Yang Biao, could wait two years, the imperial court could wait two years, but Cao Cao could not wait two years.
The report of the battle in the north came from the fast horse.
The war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou has reached a fever pitch. Yuan Shao is fighting with Lianjie, and it looks like he will be able to completely annihilate Gongsun Zan within a few years. How can Cao Cao wait? How dare he wait? He doesn't dare to let go of Tuo Cao.
Zhang's pace.
Just imagine…
If Yuan Shao completely pacifies the northern border in the future, there is no doubt that his next opponent will only be Cao Cao from the Central Plains...
Until then? With his current strength and current territory, what can Cao Cao do to compete with Yuan Shao?
Therefore, Cao Cao immediately vetoed the proposal.
"We don't have to worry about the Southern and Northern Wars," Taiwei Yang said. Cao Cao declined very politely...
Unexpectedly, Yang Biao frowned and puffed up his chest. "I am the prince of the dynasty, in charge of the Han Dynasty's military affairs and wars. Why can't I take care of it!"
This is the first time that the Cao Cao camp and the Emperor's camp are at war with each other in the court...
And this is precisely the second percent meaning of this dispute.
As Cao Cao's power continued to grow, pro-Han officials in the court noticed the subtle changes in Cao Cao's domineering changes.
At this point, neither the court nor the emperor could retreat, and they did not dare to compromise. Once they retreated, Cao Cao would become the second Dong Zhuo.
It is for this reason that the current dispute seems to be a discussion of Cao Cao's next strategy. In fact, it is a fierce collision between two forces.
"good…"
Cao Cao always kept his composure and did not further express his anger.
Facing Lieutenant Yang Biao's unyielding words, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and raised his hand. "Let's talk about this next time..."
After blurting out a sentence, Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his hands, and his tone became colder and harsher.
"I want to take a rest, so I'll leave first!"
As he spoke, he walked out of Deyang Hall without waiting for the emperor's answer.
After walking down the last step, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp edge suddenly appeared in his eyes.
…
…
Xu Ducheng, Sikong Mansion.
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense..."
Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun had bad tempers. They both heard about today's court meeting and were pacing left and right in anger. They wished they could kill Yang Biao's entire family just by mentioning this guy.
"Brother, as long as you say a word, I, Cao Hong, will work hard to commit crimes and make Yang Biao's life difficult!" Cao Hong muttered to himself...
Judging from his appearance, he was already about to draw his sword and go out.
"Stop!" Cao Cao hurriedly shouted to him... "Come back here."
Is this a time for impulsiveness?
Is this a Yang Biao problem?
This was basically a sharp confrontation between the pro-Han faction and Cao Cao's camp. Through this confrontation, the pro-Han officials expressed their attitude. They defended the Han Dynasty and the emperor's attitude. This made Cao Cao quite embarrassed.
It also made Cao Cao deeply understand that it was time for the court officials to make drastic adjustments, and dissidents must be eliminated...
Talk about it.
Cao Cao is now Sikong and Marquis of Wu Ping. Logically speaking, his official position is not low. However, there are still threats in the court, such as Yang Biao's position as Taiwei.
Strictly speaking, Taiwei was the highest military official in the ancient imperial court, in charge of military and political affairs in the world...
Even if Yang Biao has no soldiers, as long as this title is there, he can point out all of Cao Cao's military actions. Even if he is purging the imperial court and making drastic personnel adjustments, he cannot avoid the title of Taiwei!
It can be said that the official title of Taiwei has seriously affected the formulation and execution of Cao Cao's military operations and personnel appointments and removals. It is a mountain that Cao Cao cannot get around, and it even makes Cao Cao breathless.
"Brother, I just can't understand why you are so spoiled by Yang Biao!" Cao Hongyou was furious. "Kill him directly. If you don't understand, then assassinate him. I don't believe anyone in the entire court dares to say anything.
What?"
Cao Hong has a hot temper, and when he gets angry, he doesn't think much about the consequences of doing things.
However, he didn't consider the consequences, Cao Cao had to think about it.
Killing Yang Biao is easy, but what will be the consequences afterwards?
The first thing to bear the brunt was the complete break between Cao Cao and the Han emperor's camp. Now, depending on Cao Cao's strength, he still has to rely on the imperial court for everything.
At least now, he simply cannot afford the consequences of a complete break with the Han Dynasty.
In addition, Yang Biao is the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family.
The Yang family of Hongnong can rival the Runan Yuan family, the fourth generation and third prince. In the past hundred years alone, the Yang family has produced countless princes and ministers...
Who knows how many famous families the Hongnong Yang family is closely related to, and how intricate their network of relationships is. This is a major event that can affect the whole body. Cao Cao does not dare to act rashly!
What's more...
Another thing is that Yang Biao is a Qingliu and a famous scholar.
These days, celebrities have a very unique position in the circle of scholars, in the circle of Confucian scholars, and in the circle of common people.
Cao Cao once killed a famous scholar named Bian Rang in Yanzhou, which led to the betrayal of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao. Lu Bu almost succeeded in stealing his home.
The past events are still vivid in my mind, celebrities cannot be killed!
But... if he doesn’t kill him, then let Yang Biao continue to fight against him?
Or they could be locked up. Damn it, Cao Cao knew the temperament of this group of Party members and Qingliu all too well. They would not give in even if they were beaten to death, and would even cause greater public outrage.
call…
When he thought of this, Cao Cao took a long breath, annoyed, upset...
When he captured Yuzhou, subdued Chen State, and conquered Yuan Shu, he was not so upset when faced with many difficulties.
Nowadays, the position of Taiwei, the leader of the three princes, is simply a mountain above Cao Cao's head. It is an insurmountable mountain, and Cao Cao can't breathe under the direct pressure!
"Brother? Don't worry, I will do the evil thing!" Cao Hong actually pulled out the knife this time.
Speaking of which, there are not many people in Cao Cao's camp who can help Cao Cao, and Cao Hong is one of them.
"Stop talking about this." Cao Cao waved his hand, feeling a little confused, "If you have extra energy, you might as well think about how to raise food and grass. What Lieutenant Yang Biao said is right, we do not have much food!
"
At this point, Cao Cao sighed "Alas" and then sighed. "Hmph, if our annual harvest could double, Yang Biao wouldn't be able to propose a recuperation for the past two years! Nor would he take it.
This is making a fuss..."
At this point, Cao Cao sighed again...
But at this moment.
"Father, father..." the voice of Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, came from outside the door...
I heard the footsteps were very hurried, and it seemed that I had something important to report.
"Ang'er?"
"Father, my husband has successfully planted winter wheat in Youjian Villa. He said that if we vigorously promote it, our grain output can be doubled every year!" Before he could reach Cao Cao, Cao Ang had already blurted out...
Here, everyone is beaming with joy and excitement!
Hmm...this...double the food?
Now, Cao Ang was not the only one who was excited. Cao Cao suddenly turned from sadness to joy and became extremely ecstatic.
