Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 89 Dealing with the Big Ear Thief
Chapter 89 Dealing with the Big Ear Thief
With the arrival of salt, whether it was Nanjun or Hefei, the situation of the battle was reversed in an instant, Cao Jun turned the corner and once again took the initiative.

On the other hand, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were beaten into embarrassment.

Liu Bei retreated to Changsha again, not daring to challenge Cao Ren again.

Sun Quan was trapped on the north bank of the Yangtze River, neither retreating nor advancing.

For Sun Quan, what is even more terrible is that Cao Chong took his salary from the bottom of the pot and sold salt in Jiangdong, and it was in the name of the emperor.

Salt is an important source of tax revenue for Sun Quan, and Cao Chong's actions undoubtedly cut off Sun Quan's financial resources.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Cao Chong's move was ruthless enough.

No wonder Sun Quan would vomit blood with anger.

What made Sun Quan even more helpless was that he could not use political means. This time when he sent troops to the north, Sun Quan's slogan was to eliminate the national traitors and rescue the emperor.

Cao Chong was selling salt in Jiangdong in the name of the Son of Heaven. If Sun Quan used political means, he would undoubtedly be slapping himself in the face.

Since political means cannot be used, can black-box operations work?
No!

It's not that Sun Quan can't do it, but that Sun Quan can't do it.

The people in the school affairs office are all dragons and phoenixes, so how can they be so easy to deal with? Since the school affairs office can quickly sell salt in Jiangdong, it has a way to resist the local family forces in Jiangdong.

Why can the school government resist?
Because Cao Chong obtained an imperial decree through Empress Fu, which stated that the emperor's caravan sold salt in Jiangdong.

If the Jiangdong local family dared to use despicable means to deal with the people of the school office, it would undoubtedly let the court seize Sun Quan's handle.

The handle that the court grasped was the handle that Cao Cao grasped.

Cao Cao can use Sun Quan to disrespect the emperor, and in the name of rebellion, let the princes of the world attack Sun Quan together.

Isn't that what Yuan Shu was like back then.

Don't look at the big man who is in chaos now, but no one dares to be disrespectful to the court.

Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the feudal lords were in chaos and fought their own way, it was still a truth to regard the Emperor of Zhou as the Lord of the world.

……

"Hahaha, my son is indeed a talent, and he can make Sun Quan's son suffer a lot without a thousand troops!"

Cao Cao raised his head to the sky and screamed, feeling very happy.

As soon as the salt came out, both Nanjun and Hefei resolved the crisis.

It is enough to show Cao Chong's talent.

Cao Cao admired Cao Chong more and more.

And Cao Zhi, who was behind him, felt uncomfortable. He was asked to guard Hefei, but he couldn't beat Sun Quan for a long time.

Cao Chong, who was far away in Xudu, did not participate in the battle at all, so Sun Quan and Liu Bei could retreat at the same time.

It is enough to show Cao Chong's military talent.

If this continues, the possibility of Cao Chong inheriting the Datong will be greatly improved.

"Father, brother Chong is indeed a great talent, but it is still father who commanded well. If father hadn't tried his best to resist Sun Quan, how could Hefei have waited until the day when brother Chong's salt was delivered."

Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, but there was a little complexity in his smile.

"What's the situation with Liu Bei?" Cao Cao changed the subject.

Cao Zhi replied, "Liu Bei is short of money and food, and life is very difficult."

"Hmph, that big-eared thief actually set up a trap for Truth in the Battle of Chibi last year, causing Truth to lose a hundred thousand arrows for nothing. Truth must avenge this revenge."

Cao Cao was furious, and he was brooding about the straw boat borrowing arrows.

Just then Xun You, the military adviser, came over with a letter in his hand.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the young master has made a new move."

"Oh?" Cao Cao frowned, his Chong'er had a new movement, and he was really curious what it would be.

"Come on!"

Xun You didn't come right away, but looked at Cao Zhi before opening the letter.

As Cao Cao's old minister, Xun You didn't need to stand in line with the princes, but he admired Cao Chong's talent very much, and was worried that Cao Zhi would be jealous of Cao Chong after the letter came out.

"The young master said that he would help the prime minister avenge the grass boat borrowing arrows."

"How Zhuge Liang borrowed the prime minister's arrow back then, the young master will return it to Zhuge Liang, and it will definitely cause Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to suffer heavy losses."

Cao Zhi smiled coldly, not believing Cao Chong's words at all.

"Brother Chong is a child prodigy, but he is also too arrogant. Zhuge Liang has a great plan and is the number one military adviser under Liu Bei. If he hadn't borrowed the east wind, how could we have lost the Red Cliff."

"Brother Chong actually went to provoke Zhuge Liang, this is asking for trouble."

Cao Cao didn't like Cao Zhi's words very much. This was undoubtedly to increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.

But Cao Cao didn't say it. After all, the defeat in Chibi was indeed caused by Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind. If he refuted Cao Zhi's statement, he would undoubtedly expose his own scars.

"Since Chong'er has an idea, let him do it. You should write back to Chong'er immediately. Once it is done, the truth will definitely reward you."

To Cao Zhi's surprise, Cao Cao agreed with Cao Chong's idea.

Cao Zhi still wanted to say something, but seeing Cao Cao's resolute attitude, he hesitated to speak.

Xun You was neither happy nor angry, he couldn't see any thoughts, he just bowed back, "Yes!"

The letter quickly spread to Xudu.

When Cao Chong saw the letter that Lao Cao had written back to him in the school affairs office, the corner of his mouth curled up.

As long as Lao Cao agrees, it will be easy for him to do it.

This time I don't play Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, I am simply sorry for my talent.

"Old Cao agreed, let's start the action." Cao Chong said to Zhou Buyi.

Zhou Buyi nodded, "Xiahouba and the others have already transported the grain and grass to the intersection of Yizhou, Hanzhong and Jingzhou. As long as we give Liu Bei a little word, they will definitely be moved."

During this period, Xia Houba was sent by Cao Chong to Yizhou to buy grain and grass, and inquired about the situation of Fazheng by the way.

According to the original plan, Xiahouba should return to Xudu with the Liangyuan Road, but Cao Chong deliberately made Xiahouba divert in order to clean up Liu Bei.

"Very good, very good, what's the situation with Cao Yan?" Cao Chong continued.

Zhou Buyi then replied, "Cao Yan has brought the elite of the school affairs office to Changsha County, and now he is waiting for the young master's order."

Since we want to deal with big-eared thieves, how can we not send some love generals over there!

In order to complete the suppression of the big-eared thieves, Cao Chong directly asked the second in command of the school affairs office to direct the battle in person.

"In that case, just start acting and follow my plan." Cao Chong waved his hand.

When Dahan Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established, Cao Chong was preparing to deal with Liu Bei.

Now everything is ready and only owes the east wind.

It's time to avenge Lao Cao.

The old Cao Yingming I was thrown around by Zhuge Liang on the straw boat borrowing arrows, so that he became the background board of Zhuge Liang's myth.

Whatever you say today, you have to avenge Lao Cao.

"Hmph, big-eared thief, Zhuge Liang, you are all waiting for me, I want you to be the background board of my myth!"

"Ding, please pay attention to the host, a new task has appeared, which will seriously damage Liu Bei's strength, and there will be rewards after the task is completed."

The sound of the system sounded again.
