Chapter 624
,(click co)!
Cao Ang never dreamed that he would see Yang Xiu and Sima Yi here. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment?
What to say, it's quite surprising.
After seeing the etiquette, Yang Xiu couldn't help but curse: "It's not that bastard Xun Yu. After the young master came to Liaodong, he slandered his lord every few days, saying that you lacked manpower and asked us to come and help. In fact, it was just to kick us away so that we could replace him with someone."
"As for why it is us, alas... who lets us hold what Xun Yu wants most? Once we left, Xuzhou's personnel and finances fell into Xun Yu's hands. After working hard for a few years, he made wedding dresses for others. He was so angry that he thought about it."
"Haha..." Cao Ang smiled and said, "You don't have to do this. The soil in Liaodong is not worse than that in the Central Plains, and the land is vast and rich in resources. When you show off your skills, don't be idle since you are here. More than 200,000 Xianbei prisoners will be handed over to you."
"Zhongda, tens of thousands of cattle and millions of sheep, and those goods are handed over to you. Shiyuan, screen the horses and send them to the soldiers as soon as possible if you can go to the battlefield. Each person has one, and those who cannot fight will be transferred to freight. In short, don't let them be idle."
The two of them looked at the huge team behind Cao Ang and were stunned.
They had just arrived in Xiangping for less than an hour, and were they requisitioned?
Young Master, you at least treat us as individuals.
Yang Xiu wanted to cry without tears.
Sima Yi asked, "Young Master, who have you beaten? You have won so much."
They just came and no one explained it to them, so they didn't know much about the situation in Liaodong.
Facing Sima Yi's inquiry, Cao Ang looked up at the sky, Pang Tong looked down at the ground, and the others also turned their heads intentionally or unintentionally.
How to explain it?
"I want to say, this is the situation." Cao Zhang excitedly squeezed out of the crowd and told the whole story of the war with added fuel to the fire.
After hearing this, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were both confused at the same time, stunned for a long time before asking: "So, Tadun, Bu Dugen, Ke Bineng, Fu Luohan, Nengchen Di, Mijia, Suli, Que Ji and other leaders of the grassland tribe were all killed by you?"
The leaders of each tribe were taken down and the grassland would inevitably be in chaos. This record was passed back to Xudu, and all the civil and military officials in the court could not faint collectively.
Cao Ang said with confidence: "I'm going to talk about business sincerely, who made them glare at me?"
Yang Xiu: “…”
Sima Yi: “…”
After all, the overlord with tens of thousands of troops actually managed to get his life in for a broken stone. Both of them arrived for Bu Dugen and the others.
"Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master." The two bowed against their will and said, "The young master has established a great achievement for the unparalleled generation, and it is just around the corner to be named a marquis and ministers."
If they had known that such a good thing would have come a few days in advance.
A great military achievements were just passing by, and they missed it.
Cao Ang smiled generously and said, "I'll go back and have some rest, and I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, he took Hu San to the city and left a group of confidants looking at each other for a while. Pang Tong spread his hands and said, "Let's work, I hope to hold a banquet for you."
The two of them were helpless and shook their heads and sighed!
For Liaodong, the biggest gain this time was not how many enemy soldiers were killed, but the hundreds of thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of plowing oxen.
With war horses, the black-robed army can replace the cannons with bird guns and completely transform from infantry into cavalry.
With the plowing oxen, the barren land in Liaodong can be quickly reclaimed and turned into a fertile land of thousands of miles.
In contrast, millions of sheep have become burdens.
Liaodong does not have that big place for grazing, and all you can do is improve your food.
...
The war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan has entered a state of intense heat, and Gongsun Zan has lost consecutive battles and suffered heavy losses.
When the news came back to Xu Du, Cao Cao was so angry that he scolded Gongsun Zan for being incompetent. He smashed several pieces of porcelain before summoning Xun Yu and other confidants to discuss.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others rushed to the first time after receiving the news. They walked into the conference hall and were about to salute, but Mao Ba Nian's voice sounded outside the door like a crow reporting the death.
"The great victory in Liaodong, the lord, the great victory in Liaodong."
Cao Cao: "..."
Everyone: "..."
They had long been numb to the battle report of Liaodong. When they heard the word "Great Victory", their first reaction was not surprise, but surprise.
Can't that ancestor calm down?
Mao Ba Nian rushed into the hall, clasped his fists and said, "I have met the lord, Xun Lingjun, and..."
"Okay, okay." Cao Cao interrupted him and said, "Tell me, who is in trouble again?"
Mao Ba Nian: "…"
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.
Dian Wei took it and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao checked the hot paint, and then tore it apart after confirming it was correct. After reading it, he could stuff an egg into his mouth and subconsciously handed the letter to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu stepped forward to take it, and after seeing it, his face also became very exciting. He said speechlessly: "Young Master is really... really..."
After thinking for a long time, I didn't expect a suitable adjective.
He never dreamed that a nonsense story about Houyi shooting the sun could trick all the grassland leaders to the Liaodong border, and then he would make a pot of it without hesitation.
This...how do you want history books to be written?
"The young master's move is quite like killing three soldiers with two peaches. I am submissive." Guo Jia handed the letter to Liu Ye and said with a serious look on his face.
Cao Cao finally came back to his senses, and said with reproach and helplessness: "It's unprecedented to talk about business. Alas, I was born to wipe my butt for this rebellious son."
"Tell me, after the death of the leaders, the grassland will inevitably be in chaos. How should this chaos be good or bad for our great man? "
Xun Yu went out and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Take Youzhou as an example. In addition to resisting Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan's main task was to resist the Xianbei Wuhuan and guard the border for the Han Dynasty."
"In recent years, the Xianbei Kebineng tribe and Wuhuan attacked the border twice in three days, which restrained Gongsun Zan's energy. Now, once Kebineng dies, his troops will inevitably split without a leader, and thus fight for the position of the leader."
"The Wuhuan was even more miserable. He was defeated by the young master a few days ago. He captured tens of thousands of young and strong prisoners. Before he could figure it out, Shanyu was defeated again. He probably had no strength and no energy to invade the border of our Han Dynasty in a short period of time."
"Without the Xianbei and Wuhuan causing trouble, Gongsun Zan can free up his hands to deal with Yuan Shao. The longer they spend, the more beneficial it will be to us."
"The only thing that is not good is that there is a fish that escapes the net in each tribe of the grassland, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan."
"The Southern Xiongnu's strength has recovered a lot in recent years. As their strength increases, their ambitions have gradually been revealed. How can they let go of the opportunity to annex other tribes like this? I'm afraid that a hegemon will rise to the grassland in a few years."
"Hu Chuquan, Hu Chuquan..." Cao Cao tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while and looked at Mao Banian and said, "What are the plans for the young master?"
Mao Banian shook his head and said, "Young Master said he should take one step at a time. Why do you think so much? It's not useful at critical moments. Like this time, he wrote down all the contracts for doing business with the Grassland Tribe. Isn't it useless?"
Cao Cao: "..."
Mao Ba Nian said again: "By the way, lord, the young master also sent back three ships of wool, leather, and three plowing oxen. However, the plowing oxen did not walk steadily when he got off the boat and his legs broke. It can only be used to nourish your body and your wife."
Cao Cao: "..."
Xun Yu and others looked at each other, and their eyes showed envy.
If you think about it carefully, they haven't eaten beef for a long time.
No, I have to find a way to get a piece of the pie. There are three cows, and Sikong Mansion can't finish it.
Xun Yu said: "Lord, Liaodong is barren, and there are tens of thousands of plowing oxen to use. If you don't give it even more, there are war horses and the black-robed army's three major disciplines and eight items, aren't you just paying them? If you want to pay them back to the public, should they hand over some?"
Cao Cao: "..."
