Chapter 17 Cultivation and cultivation with livestock and military resources
Chapter 17: Farming and planting for livestock and military resources
Cao Cao surrendered 300,000 Yellow Turban troops.
In a short period of time, this piece of information spread to every corner of the Han Dynasty.
For a moment, the world was shocked!
…
Yecheng.
"Is Cao Cao crazy?"
Yuan Shao frowned tightly. Strictly speaking, Cao Cao was now dependent on him.
As for Cao Cao's role, in Yuan Shao's mind he was a "tool man" who helped him guard the southern gate so that he could peacefully pacify the north!
But now, Cao Cao actually surrendered 300,000 Yellow Turban troops on his own initiative. In Yuan Shao's view, this is tantamount to a recipe for disaster!
"Cao Ah Man, Cao Ah Man, your brain has been kicked by a donkey!"
Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly, feeling as if he hated iron.
"I recommended him to be the prefect of Dongjun. He has some ability in planning for Yanzhou. But? Accepting 300,000 moth thieves? I am really dizzy... Yanzhou? A barren land? There are 300,000 more mouths and food for no reason.
How is it possible to keep up! Besides, these are a group of traitors with no loyalty at all!"
"Lord, I don't think so..."
Ju Shuo, a counselor under Yuan Shao, expressed a different opinion. "Although the influx of three hundred thousand moth thieves will temporarily increase the burden on Yanzhou, in the long run, they can help with production inside and fight bravely outside."
, is actually a great benefit to the rise of Cao Cao! If Cao Cao is allowed to develop, he may threaten our Jizhou in the future."
Hmm? Threaten Jizhou?
Upon hearing these four words, Yuan Shao's face suddenly darkened.
Who is Yuan Shao? The fourth generation and the third prince from a famous family? What the hell is Cao Cao? A eunuch raising a grandson?
When Yuan Shao was a child, he played with Cao Cao. That was to praise him. Is he worthy of threatening Jizhou? Threatening himself?
Guo Tu, another military advisor on the side, noticed the change in Yuan Shao's expression and spoke immediately.
"Cao Cao is just a dog placed by the lord in Yanzhou. His role is to help the lord guard the south gate! Hehe, I have never heard of a dog daring to bite its owner! Is Master Jushou thinking too much?"
"My Lord, Cao Cao is a man with great ambitions and good plans. How can he be a man who is subordinate to others? If now, taking advantage of its weakness, Yanzhou is captured, seizes the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, develops production, and reclaims wasteland.
In less than three years, there will be no one in the world who can be my lord’s opponent. My lord, think twice!”
Jushou continued to persuade...
"Hmph! Whoever surrenders these 300,000 moth thieves will bring about his own destruction."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shaoyi raised his hand and his tone was not polite at all. "What's more, in less than three years, no one in the world is my opponent!"
"My lord is wise and mighty!" Guo Xiangxiu echoed like a licking dog... "It is only a matter of time before we can dominate the world!"
"Lord..." Ju Shou wanted to persuade him, but Yuan Shao gave him a cold look. "Don't mention it again! Cao Cao, I have never taken him seriously! Since he accepted the Yellow Turban and committed suicide, it proves that he is a fool.
What a fool!"
In a word, Yuan Shao strode out of the tent.
"well…"
Jushou was helpless and could only let out a long sigh.
He kept shaking his head.
"If the Yellow Turbans are not handled well, it will be a big trouble. If it is handled well, Yanzhou and Cao Cao will quickly grow into a behemoth. By then, even the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince will be
You may not be able to compete with him!”
When I think of this.
Jushou's whole person became dejected.
…
…
Yanzhou, inside the Chenliu County Yamen Office!
Hahaha…
Laughter that shook the rubble was heard one after another.
Xun Yu is laughing, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan are laughing, Cao Ren, Cao Hong are also laughing, and the new generals Li Dian and Le Jin who have joined Cao Cao's camp are laughing...
It seems that they are talking about quite interesting things...
"It's amazing, it's amazing!"
While laughing, Xiahou Dun did not forget to speak.
"Meng De, you are so amazing! How do you know that our land in Yanzhou is ownerless land? How do you know that these 300,000 yellow turban thieves bring their own cattle and farm tools? How can you still calculate that,
Will these Yellow Turban troops actively respond to the Qingzhou soldiers we formed?"
After three questions in a row, all the civil servants and generals in Yanzhou, including Xiahou Dun, expressed their admiration for Cao Cao.
Ha ha…
Cao Cao smiled and didn't answer. There's no way to answer this... You can't say that a wine shop owner told me, right?
Never thought about it.
Cao Cao's pretentious appearance made everyone more curious.
"My lord, you are a great talent."
Yu was so impressed that he fell to the ground."
Faced with Xun Yu’s praise...
Cao Cao bowed his hands in return, but he actually felt guilty.
How could he solve this thorny problem? Yi Xiaotian had made a clear arrangement early in the morning, and he was just executing it.
"Mr. Miao praised it." Cao Cao responded with a short beard and a smile.
"Meng De, if you don't answer these questions, then you have to tell us? How come these Yellow Turbans have been admiring you since they entered Yanzhou?"
Xiahou Dun was suspicious, his temper was a bit irritable, and he couldn't hide the matter, so he asked him to cross-examine him.
"Let them plow the land, and they are all very happy; when they say they want to recruit Qingzhou soldiers, those strong men respond, as if they are willing to go through life and death for you! I, Xiahou Dun, really don't understand this."
"Yuan Rang..." Cao Cao replied with a smile...
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu answered for him before he opened his mouth.
"General Yuan Rang, don't you know that the old and the old are like the old, and the young and the young are like the young. The Lord thinks of them at all times and arranges for their livelihood, so that they have full stomachs and warm clothes. Even if they are
Even a hard-hearted person will be moved, not to mention that these Yellow Turbans are just farmers of flesh and blood?"
Xun Yu raised his hand. "My lord leads them sincerely, and they will naturally treat my lord sincerely. That's why I said that my lord's move not only calmed the people, won the hearts of the people, but also developed Yanzhou. He killed three birds with one stone. My lord is a genius, Xun Yu."
I admire you so much!"
Being praised again...
Cao Cao felt a little embarrassed.
After all, speaking of it, the credit should go to Yi Xiaotian...
"OK OK!"
Cao Cao hurriedly stopped them, then turned to Xun Yu and changed the topic. "Since the military advisor can see this, he will naturally have some plans for our next plan, and we also ask the military advisor for advice..."
Hmm? Give me some advice?
Xun Yu waved his hand. "My lord has a strategy in mind, and I'm afraid he has already thought of it. My lord, you and I will write down the strategy we want on paper. How about we show it together?"
"That's wonderful." Cao Cao nodded.
Cao Ren hurriedly fetched pens, ink, and bamboo slips.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu turned to write respectively.
All the civil and military officials raised their heads, trying to get a closer look. They were also curious, what would Cao Cao do next?
After a while, the two of them finished writing.
Turn around and unfold at the same time...
What Cao Cao wrote here was a sentence proposed by Yi Xiaotian - "Purchase and cultivate crops to raise military resources!"
What Xun Yu wrote was simple and clear, with two words - "Tuntian!"
Huo...different approaches but the same effect!
Cao Cao was overjoyed. The so-called heroes had the same vision.
He, Xun Yu, and Yi Xiaotian all had the same ideas for the next step in the development of Yanzhou - to farm fields, store grain, and train troops to wait for the situation to change.
