Chapter 485: The Plan Afterwards

Xun Yu and others next to him could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. Is this Guo Jia really much younger than them? But speaking of it, it still has a kind of counterattack.

The few guys who were almost unattended by Yuan Shao were now doing well with Cao Cao and fighting against Yuan Shao. It is estimated that whether it was Xun Yu or Xun You, they had a sense of ambition in their hearts to defeat Yuan Shao to prove the world! Only Guo Jia would think about how to return to the villain who lost if he lost.

"However, it is not time to turn against Yuan Shao, so this matter is nothing more than just a matter. As you see, what should we do now? Should we directly attack Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's not very appropriate." Xun Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Lu Bu and Liu Bei are both enemies of our army. If they run to attack at this time, they will inevitably unite closely together. If they let it go, Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf. If he continues for a long time, he will definitely covet Liu Bei's Xuzhou. When the two tigers compete for food, we will watch the tiger fighting across the mountains and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"Brother Wen Ruo is right." Guo Jia nodded, "Lu Bu is extremely ambitious and will never be willing to be controlled by Liu Bei all the time. Chen Gong will definitely not want to see such a situation. Therefore, there will inevitably be a battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Liu Bei is popular. If Lu Bu defeats Liu Bei in the end, then we will definitely get the greatest support if we attack Lu Bu. As for Liu Bei, it will be a huge loss. When we run to attack Xuzhou, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, Xuzhou is still in the recovery period, so it is better to let Liu Bei continue to manage it on his behalf." Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao had no objection. In fact, he asked such a question. Of course, he thought that it was not appropriate to attack Xuzhou now. You should know that Cao Cao is a military expert, not a person without any ideas, but Cao Cao usually didn't say it directly. Cao Cao wanted to listen to the opinions of his advisers humbly, and of course, it might be to prevent people similar to Guo Tu. If Cao Cao directly expressed his meaning, would there be people who would still object? Well, Guo Jia is definitely the exception, which is one of the things that Cao Cao likes Guo Jia very much.

"Since we don't attack Xuzhou, where should we attack now? Is Yuan Shu? Yuan Shu has grown a little strong recently. Should we take the opportunity to suppress him?" Cao Cao couldn't help but say.

Cao Cao is the kind of person who can't get idle. Looking at Cao Cao's life, how many years have he not been fighting? Perhaps in Cao Cao's eyes, if he doesn't fight, he will be behind others if he stays there. Therefore, since he can't fight Xuzhou at present, Cao Cao immediately began to think of the question of where to fight.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly.

"I think we should rest for a while now."

Cheng Yu also advised,

"Yes, after a series of wars in Yanzhou, there are constant natural disasters, and I can no longer fight again."

"Of course I know this situation. I just want to set a goal in advance and make plans early!" Cao Cao said.

However, everyone who knows Cao Cao is present. Once the goal is set, it is estimated that Cao Cao will think he has recovered enough and will fight again. Now it is the autumn harvest season, and Cao Cao really doesn't want to rest for even half a year.

Guo Jia lowered his head and thought about it. After defeating Lu Bu in Yanzhou, he should have welcomed Emperor Fengxian to Xudu and used the emperor to command the princes. However, how many time was there? Guo Jia couldn't remember clearly, as if there were a number, and it seemed a little short.

So Guo Jia said,

"I think it's better not to make plans early. After all, there are noises and often suddenly appear. The key is who reacts quickly enough. If we decide to attack Yuan Shu early in the morning, the deployment of troops will inevitably shift towards Yuan Shu. And if something suddenly happens in other places at this time, there is a great opportunity to make a profit. If we fail to catch it because of this, it would be a pity."

"This... has some truth. Just like the Yanzhou Incident, who could have predicted it before? If Yuan Shao suddenly dies, I don't want to give Gongsun Zan a free gift!" Cao Cao murmured. It seems that Yuan Shao's behavior has completely angered Cao Cao. Although from the perspective of the princes, Cao Cao can't turn against Yuan Shao, from a personal perspective, Cao Cao no longer regards Yuan Shao as a friend at all. Isn't this curse Yuan Shao to die?

"Okay! Let's repair it for a month. In a month, if nothing has happened, then we will discuss it again!" Cao Cao immediately decided.

"By the way, lord." Xun Yu, who had been in charge of the internal affairs of Yanzhou, suddenly spoke, "This Yanzhou change has caused all parts of Yanzhou to be reshuffled, especially Chenliu and other places. Due to Zhang Miao's reasons, the gentry members were almost uprooted. There are also the newly obtained Runan, Yingchuan and other places, which were plundered by the Yellow Turban for a long time, and no gentry members will exist."

"Isn't this just right?" Cao Cao smiled, "I remember that Wenruo and Fengxiao are both from Yingchuan. Well, Wenruo you are from Yingyin and Fengxiao is from Yangdi. You were originally the gentry of Yingchuan, but now things return to the original owner, wouldn't it be great!" Cao Cao said, as if he had made a reward.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Xun Yu did not refuse. The ancients were very concerned about their hometown. After their death, they would talk about returning to their roots. Therefore, it would be better to have their own hometown. Although Yingchuan today can no longer be compared with Yingchuan back then.

Of course, no one could have thought that Emperor Xian would be welcomed to Xuchang by Cao Cao soon. At that time, Yingchuan, as the suburb of Kyoto, will be more glorious than that of the past, as well as important officials such as Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

"But even so, there are still too many empty places. So my subordinates believe that our previous policies are now time to change, one time and another, and now we should do our best to implement the military farm system!" Xun Yu said, "As for the official tax reduction system that Fengxiao has no meaning of existence."

Yes, the reason why lottery is tempting is that there are many people buying it, and each person only needs to pay a little benefit, and there will be a very considerable bonus. Nowadays, the number of lottery players has dropped significantly, and the remaining bonus is really not tempting enough.

Moreover, there was a special reason for the implementation of such a policy at the beginning. It was because Cao Cao wanted to compete with those gentry, so in order not to offend all gentry, he had to win over some of the outstanding gentry to support it. But now, Cao Cao no longer had to compete with the gentry for profit. After all, there were too few gentry left, which was equivalent to the annihilation of all the destroyed gentry being annexed by Cao Cao. In this way, there was no need to implement unequal policies.

Confucius said: "I also heard that those who have countries and families should not worry about lack of poverty but are uneven, and do not worry about poverty but are uneasy. There is no poverty, no harmony or lack of peace and stability. If this is the case, so if people far away do not accept it, they will cultivate their literary virtues and come to them. Once they come, they will be at peace."
