Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

autumn harvest.

The people all showed joy. There was no drought this year, and the weather was good.

Especially Chenliu and Xudu, as the first counties where the farming system was popularized, the farming and harvesting here are equally terrifying and somewhat astonishing. The harvest of millions of stones of grain and grass is simply shocking.

Sure enough, in less than a week, the granary in the county was instantly full.

It looks the same as in the past, but the difference is that there are countless more granaries built today, but the granaries are still full.

This is the horror of the field system after the perfection of Cao Yang, coupled with the improvement of the people's farming by the curved plough.

Not only the population, but also the total population of Dahan is also increasing.

Because of the great chaos in the world before, it was difficult for the people to live, and many people were running around for a meal, and there was no condition to have children at all.

The promotion of the farmland system and the emergence of sweet potatoes have greatly solved this problem.

All the food that Cao Cao had invested in the earlier period returned several times.

Wealthy people can even have their own cattle.

Originally, the total population of Dahan during this time period should have been only about 23 million, but because of the appearance of sweet potatoes, the population tends to increase in a straight line.

In just a few years, the population has soared to 29 million, approaching the 30 million mark.

You must know that there is still war in the middle, and the war has never stopped, which has also increased the population by 6 million.

And 70% of the 6 million was provided by Cao Wei, and the effect of the farmland system was undoubtedly revealed.

At the same time, not only Cao Wei, but also Jiangdong, Yizhou, and Xiliang are also waiting for this day.

Especially Xiliang, under the investigation of the dark guard, it can be clearly felt that the movement of Xiliang recently is very abnormal.

This can't help but let countless people show their curiosity. The strategist said that it is right or wrong to discuss Yizhou first.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yang on the side with a hint of curiosity.

"Are you going to send troops to garrison now?"

Now their harvest is only halfway through, and at least it will take another day to end the harvest.

Cao Yang said with a smile.

"My lord, have you neglected something?"

"Do you think the cultivated fields of Xiliang and Yizhou can be compared with ours?

"In the past two days, they have estimated that they have already harvested almost the same amount.

Hearing these words, Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.

"Yeah, I didn't think about that.

However, this made him show a confident smile, and food was the root of his pride.

"According to the meaning of the military division, is it to defend in Sizhou first? 35

"Then in the pacification of Shu?

Cao Yang nodded and said.

"That's right, that Ma Teng has a son who is extremely brave, and his force is probably even higher than that of Yide!

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"There is such a brave general in this Xiliang!"

But for a moment he became suspicious again.

"With my current soldiers, I can send troops to attack Xiliang, why should I defend it?

Cao Yang smiled lightly.

"Ma Chao and his Xiliang iron cavalry ability, if there is no tiger and leopard cavalry in front, I am afraid that it is not necessarily his opponent."5

"The strength of the Xiliang iron cavalry is far higher than that of the elite Liangzhou iron cavalry under Dong Zhuo. 35

When Cao Cao said this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Does this Xiliang really have such urgent strength?

Cao Cao, who originally did not pay attention to Xiliang, had to change his views on Xiliang.

At the time when the princes of the Eighteenth Route were asking for Dong, Ma Teng's performance was only mediocre, but now it seems that he really did not contribute, and the real elites stayed in Xiliang.

"And if you want to occupy Xiliang with the lowest casualties, you must not be hostile to it.

"So let him mess with it.

Cao Cao nodded, and sure enough, the military advisor had foresight.

His eyesight was still a little too short.

Then he looked at Cao Yang again and asked.

"That military division, according to Shou Sizhou, can there be a general to recommend?

"Zhang Liao? Or Huang Zhong?"

After hearing about these generals, Cao Yang did not shake his head to express his rejection, but said with a light smile.

"I have an excellent candidate to guard Sizhou.

"Although it is slightly inferior to any of the generals that the lord just said."

"And if it's just about garrisoning the city defense, this person is stronger than these people!"

Hearing Cao Yang's determined tone, Cao Cao couldn't help being surprised.

Do you still have such talents in your own army? 3

This made Cao Cao more curious and asked.

"Who is this person according to what the strategist said?"

Cao Yang smiled lightly.

"General Fubo He Zhao.

At the beginning, He Zhao had only one thousand troops to block Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops from attacking, and abruptly delayed the arrival of reinforcements.

Let him lead troops to defend Sizhou and stare at Xiliang, and he will be fine.

Cao Cao was stunned for a while, showing a thoughtful look.

This General Fubo was nothing more than a miscellaneous general. There were several generals under Cao Cao, and he really didn't have much impression of He Zhao.

However, when Cao Yang mentioned this person today, he had to pay attention.

Cao Cao nodded and said.

"it is good!"

Then he looked at Cao Yang curiously again.

"Then how does the military advisor plan to take Yizhou?"

Although it is now known that Liu Zhang intends to surrender, how should this be handled?

Moreover, even if Liu Zhang surrendered in Yizhou, there would still be two major forces entrenched in it, Zhang Lu and Nanman who had fallen out with him.

"Once our army is stationed, Zhang Lu's relationship with that Xiliang Ma Teng will probably be even closer."

There was a trace of disdain in Cao Yang's eyes, and he said lightly.

"There are only tens of thousands of horses in Zhang Lu's hands, and it will be destroyed.

Zhang Lu may still be a threat to Liu Zhang, but in Cao Yang's eyes, he is just a clown who can be destroyed.

To deal with Ma Chao, Cao Yang had already had a plan in his heart.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and he nodded.

Cao Yang continued.

"Since Liu Zhang has long been willing to surrender in Yizhou, we can directly send people to lobby.""

"This person can choose Lu Su!

In terms of diplomacy, there are really few people who can compare with Lu Su.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded without even asking.

"I don't need to discuss this matter with me, just leave it to the military advisor to handle it, I can rest assured. 35

As usual, Cao Cao will continue to ask questions, but now he has completely delegated power to Cao Yang.

This made Cao Yang a little surprised, what was his plan.

But since Cao Cao handed over this matter to him, then Cao Yang will do it directly.

Watching Cao Cao's departure from the business, Cao Yang showed all his thoughts.

At this moment, among Chen Liu, the final peace of the soldiers was also broken.

Now it is necessary to set off.

And Cao Yang is discussing related matters with several people.

"Zijing, it's up to you to go to Yizhou."

Cao Yang looked at Lu Su with a hint of firmness in his eyes.

The world looked down on Lu Su's talent, just because he was not famous enough and his appearance was mediocre.

Lu Su looked at Cao Yang with a hint of gratitude. Although he was capable under Sun Quan's men, he was not reused.

In Cao Jun's reuse of him, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Thank you for your attention. 99

Cao Yang waved his hand indifferently and said again.

"This trip to Yizhou, I have a few points that need to be highlighted!

Although Lu Su was good at diplomacy, Cao Yang had to mention it.

"Go and persuade me to let Taishi Ci protect you, and within three days, Liu Zhang must be let out of Yizhou!

"No need to worry about any consequences when negotiating!

Cao Yang's words are very clear, that is, the alarmist makes Liu Zhang give up Yizhou at the fastest speed.

For them, after commanding Yizhou, there are still Nanman who need to be pacified.

Time is very important to them.

Although Cao Jun now occupies half of the world, half of it is still in the hands of other princes.

Lu Su nodded, and naturally understood the importance of this matter.

"Zi Jing will definitely live up to the expectations of the military advisors.

Cao Yang smiled and nodded.

Lu Su was particularly good at diplomacy, and he was not allowed to say too much.

Yizhou is close to the three major states of Jingzhou, Xiliang, and Jiaozhou. If Cao Jun wants to take Yizhou now, he must send troops to support him.

Because the soldiers of Jingzhou were attracted, it was easy to attract the support of Jiangdong and Nanman.

After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, although today's Cao Cao proclaims himself King of Wei.

But no one in the world knows that although Cao Cao is in the name of the young emperor, he is actually a thief of the Han Dynasty. Now that most of the country in the Han Dynasty is in the hands of Cao Wei, he still cannot take it lightly.

Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, it was not dead, and the hundred-legged worm was dead but not dead.

If the other feudal lords were able to fight against Cao Cao with the same spirit, it would probably take a few more years to rule the world at that time.

Then Cao Yang looked at Zhao Yun and said.

"Zilong, prepare to count the army and head to Jingzhou!"

Zhao Yun nodded with both hands, then turned around and left immediately.

"The commander-in-chief!

It's just this arrangement, obviously something is missing.

I saw a dark guard walking out of the shadows.

"Report to the strategist, now Zhang Lu has surrendered to Xiliang!"

As for the information on Xiliang's side, Cao Yang didn't get it at all.

Including the close relationship between Xiliang and Qiangdi.

Otherwise, where did so many high-quality war horses in Xiliang come from, Qiang Di has been giving support behind his back.

Now that Zhang Lu wants to surrender, Cao Yang can't make them do so.

Then he showed a smile, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Pay attention to who's coming from Xiliang."

"Wait until the next time they contact, keep Xiliang and the others in Zhang Lu's territory forever."5

As soon as these words came out, the dark guard on the side flickered and nodded.

"clear."

After speaking, the dark guard left again.

Now, we only need to wait for Zhao Yun to rectify his troops before heading to Jingzhou.

At this time, Dongwu also called many people here.

"Master, why did you call us here?

Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun on the side with a hint of doubt.

Although it is said that they have just experienced a bumper harvest, they do not dare to send troops in their current state of affairs?

If the victory is good, the defeat will use up all the surplus food. At that time, if you want to send troops again without spending three years to accumulate food, the army will have no food for 877 years.

Lu Meng also showed a trace of doubts, looking at Lu Xun and couldn't help asking.

"Bo Yan, what do you mean?

Lu Xun's eyes showed a trace of brilliance.

"Because there is no surplus food, everyone thinks that we will not use troops, so I will call you here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hair stood on end, and it was true.

And Sun Quan said with a frown.

"Bo Yan, are you trying to gamble?

Lu Xun shook his head and said.

"A year is too long!

"At that time, Cao Cao had already occupied the world. 35

"Master thinks that after Cao Cao occupied Yizhou or Liangzhou, can we still compete with Cao Cao?

"Although there is no surplus food now, it is the best opportunity for us."

Lu Xun closed his eyes and sighed, then he opened his eyes.

"Now is our last chance, once this plan fails, Soochow will have no place to stand!

As soon as this statement came out, countless people were shocked.

According to Lu Xun's analysis, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

If the other princes in the world are connected with each other, I am afraid there is still a chance.

For a time, everyone panicked, and Lu Xun asked in a hurry.

"What do you mean, Sergeant?"

Lu Xun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know why Cao Cao was able to grow from a small county in Chenliu to the present?"

All of you present here have different opinions and opinions.

In the face of everyone's opinions, Lu Xun all shook his head.

He continued.

"Cao Cao can take over half of the world because of one person!"

"Cao Yang, the chief military officer under his account!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone showed shocking expressions, and they couldn't find anything to refute.

Although it is natural that the world's princes would be defeated by Cao Cao, who is planning behind this is the most important.

And Cao Yang has been able to hold the position of chief military advisor from the beginning, until now, even on the red cliff, and Lu Xun's extremely meticulous plan has been seen through.

"This person has a great influence. If I don't capture it, I will never want to turn over in Soochow!"

Lu Xun's voice reached everyone's ears.

Countless people couldn't help but their hearts pounded. Are they going to attack Cao Cao again so soon?

Looking at the crowd, Lu Xun's eyes flashed a flash of sharpness and continued.

"And just in time, Cao Yang will personally lead his troops to Jingzhou in these two days."5

"That's our perfect opportunity!"
