Chapter 123 Cao Cao's Conspiracy (please subscribe!)

Xuchang City.

Cao Cao held the bamboo slips in his hand, and while browsing the content on them, he whispered to himself: "Yanzhou... Son of Heaven... Yuan Shao... Yanzhou..."

After repeating for a long time, he raised his head and asked Guo Jia: "Tell me, how can I defeat Yuan Shao and take back Yanzhou?"

Guo Jia was taken aback, and after a while, he came back to his senses.He bowed slightly and said respectfully: "My lord, Yuan Shao sits in the five prefectures of Ji, Qing, Bing, You, and Yan. He has millions of elite soldiers and thousands of good generals under his command. It is really difficult to compete with him."

Having said that, he paused, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to defeat Yuan Shao, my lord must unite with other princes to take back Yanzhou."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Tell me again, which princes should I contact?"

"In my opinion, Jingxiang Liu Biao, Jiangdong Sun Jian, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Yizhou Liu Zhang are all heroes of the separatist side. If they help, why worry about Yuan's perishing?"

"The people you mentioned are all dead bones in the tomb, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a big deal."

Guo Jia sighed, and said in a low voice: "This is the end, my lord still doesn't understand?"

Cao Cao was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What do you understand?"

"The Yuan family has become a climate. If the lord is not removed early, it will become a disaster in the future."

"In order to regain the emperor, I will fight again with the whole army, but..."

"What doubts do you have, my lord?"

"The emperor has left Xuchang, and Liu Biao and others will no longer recognize me as a prime minister."

Having said that, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said earnestly, "So, you have to do something for me."

Guo Jiagong said respectfully: "Please give orders, Prime Minister."

"I want you to go to Jingxiang and persuade Liu Biao to attack Jizhou. As long as he is willing to send troops, Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated!"

"My lord," Guo Jia frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are both clansmen of the Han family. One of them is indecisive and the other is weak and incompetent. How dare they become enemies with Yuan Shao?"

Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips and said in a deep voice, "It's up to people to do it. You should give it a try. Even if Liu Biao refuses to send troops, the truth will not blame you."

Guo Jia bowed to the ground: "Since this is the case, I would like to go to Jingxiang and persuade Liu Jingsheng to send troops."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out.

……

Yanzhou.

Yuan Tan held the Heavenly Breaking Halberd, and stood majestically at the gate of Fengfu.He turned his eyes and said to several guards: "Call your master out!"

"Return...Report to Eldest Young Master," a guard plucked up his courage and said in a trembling voice, "My master...is not at home today..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Tan interrupted: "Who are you lying to? I know he is hiding in the mansion. If he refuses to come out again, I will go in!"

As he spoke, he raised the Heaven Breaking Halberd and threw it towards the steps.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the steps were smashed into pieces.

When several guards saw it, their expressions changed greatly. Just as they were about to step forward to stop him, a familiar voice sounded.

"Slow down!"

After the words fell, Feng Ji ran out from the mansion and stopped the guards.

When the guards saw him coming out, they breathed a sigh of relief, and each stepped back.

Feng Ji's eyes flickered, and seeing the steps broken into seven or eight knots, he asked angrily, "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Mr. Feng, I have something to ask."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Father commander has an order, please prepare another ten thousand mu of fertile land for farming."

Feng Ji's face changed slightly, he shook his head and said: "The ten thousand mu of fertile land last time was already quite reluctant. This time I came to ask for it again, but I can't do anything about it."

After learning that Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were stuffed into the prison van and swaggered back to Yanzhou, Feng Ji hated Yuan Tan deeply.

If he hadn't been afraid of Yuan Tan's power, he wouldn't have talked to him at all.

Yuan Tan was not angry either, he cupped his hands and said, "This matter is very important, please help me, sir."

"Is it important?" Feng Ji sneered and said, "Tell me, what is the 'important' method."

Yuan Tan sighed, pretending to be helpless and said: "I told my father-in-law that if we need ten thousand hectares of fertile land, we don't need to hold Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi accountable for their defeat. Now that there is no fertile land, how can the soldiers spare these two people?" ?”

"What's the meaning of this... Eldest Young Master?"

Feng Ji shuddered and asked subconsciously.

Yuan Tan's smile did not fade and he said in a deep voice: "If there were no acres of fertile land, I'm afraid the soldiers would have a hard time settling their grudges and they would not be able to spare my two good brothers."

Hearing this, Feng Ji's face changed drastically.He gritted his teeth, stepped forward to hold Yuan Tan, and said with an apologetic smile: "After thinking about it, I always feel that ten thousand hectares of fertile land... It seems that it is not so difficult to prepare."

"Oh?" Yuan Tan leaned closer and asked intentionally, "Mister, are you sure?"

Feng Ji squeezed out a smile, nodded and said: "Young master, please come with me."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Please."

Under his "coercion and lure", Fengji was forced to set aside [-] mu of fertile land for his farming.

After getting the fertile land, Yuan Tan was not idle.He ordered Gao Lan to lead the army to protect the emperor, and asked Jiang Qi, Qianzhao, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun to select good soldiers from good fields, divide the land, and continue to grow potatoes according to the method taught earlier.

The civil and military officials in Yanzhou were quite puzzled, and kept mocking Yuan Tan behind his back.This group of people has everything to say, all kinds of irony and sarcasm, it is simply staggering.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan didn't care, and took Queen Guo and Xun Yu around to supervise the soldiers' farming every day.

More and more people were talking about it, and it reached Yuan Shao's ears, making him blush with embarrassment.But he really has nothing to do with Yuan Tan. After all, this kid can not only win battles, but also expand territory. Apart from his love of farming, he has no other problems.

Over time, Yuan Shao gradually got used to it, so he stopped asking about this matter.However, another big shot from Yanzhou couldn't sit still.

On this day, Yuan Tan commanded the soldiers to weed while calculating the maturity cycle of potatoes.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from my ear.

"Yuan Aiqing, this hobby of yours...is quite unique."

Following the prestige, he saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty standing behind him with a dozen eunuchs, staring at him with interest.

Yuan Tan came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "I didn't know the emperor was coming, but I didn't greet him from afar. Please forgive me."

Seeing this situation, Queen Guo and Xun Yu looked at each other, knelt on the ground at the same time, and said, "See Your Majesty."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, Yuan Aiqing, what are you doing?"

Yuan Tan pointed to the potatoes on the ground and replied: "Wei Chen is in the field."

"Tuntian?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty leaned forward and asked with great interest, "What's the use?"

"Let the people have enough to eat."

"What does Aiqing mean?"

Yuan Tan picked up the potatoes, handed them to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and explained: "According to what I know, the people's lack of food, or even lack of food, is the main cause of the turmoil. The Yellow Turban Uprising is a good example. Therefore, My biggest wish is to feed the common people."
