Chapter 703 Cao Pi and Cao Cao
Seeing Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, everyone present did not dare to say a word. Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Cao looked at Mao Jie beside him.
After Guo Jia and Xun Can both left, Cao Cao reused the young Mao Jie. For many important matters, he had to ask Mao Jie first, and this time when Yizhou came to give orders, it was Mao Jie who should give his advice.
"Liu Xin asked my lord to attack Yongzhou, mostly because he wanted us to show off. If my lord really wants to attack Yongzhou, it's okay, but this time Liu Xin is bound to win Liangzhou, and he will definitely take Yongzhou next. Now let us
When the son returns to Sizhou, letting him be the pastor of Sizhou is a kind of compensation to the lord.
Three million Han Yuan, we can’t spend so much on military expenses for a year, and Yizhou is considered generous this time. I guess if our attack on Yongzhou goes smoothly this time, Liu Xin may let us Sizhou form an independent army, and the future will be very good.
We may have to go to the grassland, or even go to war with the Parthian Empire and the Kushan Empire!" When Mao Jie said this, he saw Xu Chu and other generals' eyes light up, which general would not want to contribute to the country and die in battle.
"If we don't accept the order this time, Sizhou will only leave a symbolic battalion of elites, and all the generals will be dispersed to the various legions in Yizhou. Maybe we will be asked to go to the Yizhou Mufu to study for a period of time.
Only then will we be allowed to become officials and generals." Mao Jie continued.
All the officials nodded. They have been familiar with Yizhou's style of doing things for so many years. Yizhou is finally going to take action, and it will be against Ma Teng first. This is the same as everyone had guessed before. So what will happen to their Sizhou
It is very clear. Liangzhou was captured by Yizhou, followed by Yongzhou, Sizhou and Bingzhou.
Cao Cao's officials and generals discussed the changes in the world situation after Liu Xin attacked Liangzhou, but they did not see that Cao Cao's face was getting darker and darker. He had thought about this for a long time, and he knew that sooner or later, Sizhou would
It was captured by Liu Xin, but I didn't expect that Liu Xin would choose to use this method.
"My lord, Liu Xin has the strength to take over the entire Qiang grassland, and there is no problem in taking down Ma Teng. But he still asked the lord to help him and paid him enough, which shows that Liu Xin still values the lord.
After taking Yongzhou this time, the lord can go to Shu County to live for a while and experience the prosperity of Shu County. The lord's headaches are getting worse and worse, so Liu Xin has magical powers that can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases in the world. In Shu County
A year or two of rest will allow the second young master to exercise." Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao.
"I know that Liu Xin's power is unstoppable, and he can only give in to Sizhou, but I can't bear it!"
Luoyang City has put in a lot of effort to restore Sizhou to its current prosperity, but as soon as it became better, it no longer belongs to me!" Cao Cao said to everyone present.
Everyone understands, but who can say anything at this time? Liu Xin gave them all a chance this time. Whether they can seize it or not is right in front of them. There is no need to discuss. Everyone must hope that the entire Sizhou army will dispatch to capture Yongzhou, so Liu Xin will
Give them better official positions.
"My lord's kindness to the people of Sizhou will never be forgotten by all the people of Sizhou. Without my lord, the city of Luoyang would still be in ruins!
Liu Xin's steps to dominate the world are unstoppable. If we go against Liu Xin's wishes this time, Guo Fengxiao will definitely not let us go, not to mention Yizhou. Guo Fengxiao now has an army of 200,000, and we are definitely no match for him.
There is also Zhuge Liang of Yuzhou. If he is dissatisfied with our actions and targets us together with the Yanzhou family, it will only cut off the trade between us. Sizhou cannot bear it. Now that the people are used to a good life, we want to make them live without food.
The people are not willing to live like this." Mao Jie continued.
Everyone knows that Cao Cao is unwilling, but now even if they want to rebel against Liu Xin, they have no way to do so. The Yanzhou family in the east is like an iron barrel with Yuzhou, Bingzhou in the north is Zhang Xiu's territory, and Ma Teng in the west. Where can Cao Cao find allies?
.
So everyone is secretly trying to persuade Cao Cao to settle down at the age of 54! Sizhou should be handed over to your son, and you can go to Shu County to treat your illness and retire in peace. None of us sitting here supports you.
Even the Xiahou brothers and Xu Chu, who used to only rely on Cao Cao to look ahead, did not say anything at this time. If you want to rebel against Liu Xin, you must at least see the future! To rebel for the sake of rebellion is not to seek death. They all know that Cao Cao has always been with Guo Cao
Jia had connections, and only if Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang fought against Liu Xin, and they acted together, would they have a chance. But until now, Cao Cao could only see Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia continue to earn money and labor for Yizhou.
"Since everyone thinks we should obey Liu Xin's order and send troops to Yongzhou, let's start preparations from now on!
Ma Tengduo cavalry, didn't Liu Xin give three million Han yuan? Now go to Wudu County to buy war horses. The horses want the best war horses, buy 5,000 for the Hubao Cavalry, and the Hubao Cavalry will be eliminated.
The horses were used to form 10,000 cavalry. This cavalry was very important in the Yongzhou battle.
By the way, buy some repeating crossbows from Yizhou and go talk to the Prefectural Mufu. Those things are crucial for siege. Buy ten of Yizhou's chariots as well." Cao Cao said to Mao Jie.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Cao Cao finally chose to obey. Cao Bu has reached the position of the prefect of Guanghan County in Yizhou in recent years, and his ability is relatively outstanding in the entire Yizhou officialdom. At this time, Cao Bu
Coming back is a good thing for everyone. Coupled with their relationship with Guo Jia, they will not be afraid of being targeted under Liu Xin in the future.
After receiving the order from Yizhou, Sizhou quickly took action. The Sizhou Chamber of Commerce purchased a large amount of military supplies from Yizhou. Liu Xin sent a batch of Cao Cao's request for Liannu and [Lai Riche] to them. Now Yizhou
The state can also make [Lai Bi Car], but the quality of the [Gan Bi Car] they make is much worse than the one produced by the system, mainly because it is too heavy.
Xu Chu began to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the southern area of Yongzhou, which had always been an unmanaged area. Cao Cao sent officials here and began to dispatch the army to Yongzhou. In this way, the entire Yongzhou had seen that Liu Xin was about to take action, and the world said that Liu Xin was about to take action.
It has been many years since Xin became emperor, and everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now, except for the southernmost Yongchang County, all other counties in Yizhou have entered a period of complete stability. The six Qiang counties, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Sizhou have resisted for them.
Despite all possible wars, people living in Yizhou have never felt so at ease.
Sun Ce entered Yizhou with Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Sun Shangxiang, and Taishi Ci. They took the train all the way to Chengdu County. Everyone could not help but be amazed when they saw such a prosperous city in front of them.
"I have long heard that Yizhou is prosperous and Chengdu County is the political and cultural center of Yizhou. It is indeed extraordinary to see it today. It is more than a thousand miles from Baidi City to Chengdu County, but it took us a day and a half to get there by train. No wonder
Yizhou's business and trade can be so prosperous." Lu Su couldn't help but sigh after leaving the train station.
"The first thing Yizhou built was the train track from Buwei County, Yongchang County to Chengdu County. It was all covered with mountains. In the past, only barbarian tribes lived there. I heard that Liu Xin spent more than three years building this section of railway.
It took millions of manpower and more than seven years to build the railway track, and more than 20,000 workers died in the end. This is a much greater loss than a war!" Zhou Yu said.
"Three million people? Why did Liu Xin occupy those barbarian tribes at such a huge cost?" Tai Shici asked in confusion.
"This is the power of Liu Xin. In the past, the southern area of Yizhou belonged to the southern barbarians. These barbarian tribes nominally submitted to our Han Dynasty, but they basically rebelled every year. The transportation here is not convenient, and the Han army wants to attack these barbarians.
It was very difficult for the tribe, and more than half of them were often lost before the army arrived. The southern part of Yizhou has never been truly included in the rule of our Han Dynasty.
If Liu Xin does not solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians, his energy will always be tied up. You must know that the population of the counties in southern Yizhou exceeds three million, which is more than any nomadic country in the grassland.
After nearly ten years, southern Yizhou was now completely under the rule of Liu Xin, adding more than three million laborers to Liu Xin, and opening up a trade route to the resting place. This alone,
His achievements can be compared with those of Emperor Wu.
Yizhou has now established six counties in the Qiang grassland, which means that our Han Dynasty now has an extra state. Therefore, the people of Yizhou hope that Liu Xin can proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible and lead all the Han people to conquer more national strength.
Establish a Han Empire that is more powerful than that of Emperor Wu." Zhou Yu said.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce when he spoke, and Sun Shangxiang listened carefully. In the past, few people in Yangzhou discussed the topic of Yizhou. This was to limit the people from hearing news about Yizhou.
Even Sun Ce's knowledge of Yizhou was limited to traders in Yangzhou.
"The fact that a man like Liu Xin can be born in my country is considered God's favor to me. Liu Xin has such a powerful force, but he has not unified the Central Plains. His love for me is worthy of admiration.
If the people of Yangzhou can live the same life as the people of Yizhou, the interests of my Sun family are nothing. I just don’t know how Liu Xin will settle the princes like us in the world in the end." Sun Ce said.
"If my lord can think so, then everything can be easily solved. Liu Xin always has respect for the princes of the world. He has come step by step to this point. My lord, has anyone heard that Liu Xin took the initiative to attack anyone? Not one prince or even a military commander or counselor died.
In the hands of Liu Xin, it is rumored that Liu Xin has achieved a breakthrough. Twenty years ago, he was even with Lu Bu at his peak. Everyone knows that the dangerous cavalry is the best in the world. Until now, Yizhou Elite
, they have never caused any major killings to the big Han.
Liu Xin's attitude towards the princes was very clear from the beginning. Liu Qi and Cao Pi were both trained in Yizhou. Liu Xin was willing to give some resources to the princes of the world, but all princely families were not allowed to have privileges. In fact, under Yizhou's system
