The Three Kingdoms

"Good!" Cao Cao clapped his hands.Lang Lang laughed loudly and said: "The matter of moving the capital is related to the government of the Wei State. There must be some little ones watching, and the ghost soldiers must do their jobs well. I don't want to see Jin Yiwei planting a flag in Luoyang City!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let anyone disrupt the relocation of the capital!" Jia Xu nodded, his eyes flickering coldly: "If Jin Yiwei wants to take advantage of the opportunity to plant a flag, I will let them go around without food!"

"That's right. Where is the old Taoist Nanhua?"

Cao Cao raised his head, with a gleam in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Old Immortal of Nanhua failed to assassinate Sun Quan, and was chased by Zuo Ci all the way." Jia Xu replied.

"Zuo Ci?"

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth curled into a sneer: "This is an old god named Jiangdong. Sun Zhongmou is really lucky, and he even hired such a person to escort him. So is Nanhua in danger now?"

"Old Immortal Nanhua crossed the prairie and went south, but he didn't dare to enter Yecheng. Zuo Ci is a man with great means and superb skills. Even ordinary generals are hard to resist. He is hard to guard against. He will inevitably be disadvantageous to the King!"

Jia Xu bowed and said, "He led Zuo Ci south to Shu, and now he should be in Hanzhong!"

"Hanzhong?" Cao Cao frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Hanzhong is Zhang Lu's territory, and Zhang Lu is still somewhat hostile to our Wei State. Why did he go to Hanzhong?"

"Nanhua should have some friendship with the Tianshimeng, otherwise he wouldn't have lured Zuo Ci, the great enemy, to the Tianshimeng's territory!" Jia Xu guessed, "Your Majesty, Zhang Lu is also rumored to have some ghosts. technique!"

"These old gods really make Gu a little uneasy!"

Cao Cao's face had a hint of killing intent.

No one in power likes the appearance of a person who is beyond his control.

"Your Majesty, this kind of people act on their own, and they can't do it by ordinary means!" Jia Xu said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly!"

"I don't know!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath. He had seen Nanhua's method. Under the precautions of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he was able to enter within three feet of him without a sound.

"Your Majesty, luckily Nanhua is on our side. With him in front of Zuo Ci, we are not worried. Besides, if they are really our enemies, they are not invincible!"

Jia Xu said gloomyly: "Although they have some unpredictable skills, they are still flesh and blood after all. As long as we are willing to pay the price and want to kill them, it is still possible!"

"Let's put this aside for now!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, then shook his head quickly. He looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu who were standing beside him, his face tightened, then he looked at Jia Xu, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to report?"

"There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the king!" Jia Xu said hastily.

"Say!"

"The great merchants of Zhongshan, the Su family and the Zhang family, all moved to Youzhou within a few days. I feel that there is something wrong with this!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice.

"What's the problem?" Cao Cao was puzzled, with a trace of contempt in his expression, he said: "Aren't they just a few merchants, they left as soon as they left, and it's impossible to keep them alone!"

"Your Majesty, the Zhang family and the Su family are the richest merchants in Jizhou. They are sitting on tens of millions of wealth and monopolizing a lot of goods in Jizhou. Now their whole family is relocating. In the process, we found that it is still in Youzhou. People from the army came to respond, this matter must not be easy!"

Jia Xu said.

"The Youzhou army is responding?"

Cao Cao's eyes turned cold: "Presumably they are the court of Wu Kingdom who have taken refuge!"

"Not only that, I always think that there are some things we don't know!" Jia Xu said.

"Then go and check it out!"

Cao Cao didn't really care much about it. Like all princes in his era, he was born with contempt for merchants.He doesn't value them as much as Wu Guo.

"promise!"

After Jia Xu saluted Cao Cao, he walked down.

"Wen Ruo, Zhi Cai, sit down!"

Cao Cao sat on the chair with a golden knife, and personally poured two cups of hot tea for Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu who were standing beside them, who were a little stiff!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two sat side by side, taking a sip of hot tea to warm their stomachs.

"Zhicai. How are things going with the military?" After a while, Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked directly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the rectification is almost done!" Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Although we suffered a lot of casualties in the battle of destroying Jin, now we have gathered hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops from the Jin Kingdom. Buffer time. The army has basically recovered to a certain degree of combat effectiveness!"

"What is the mentality of the Jin army's surrender?"

Cao Cao asked after taking a sip of hot tea.

In the first battle of Guandu, many soldiers and horses were captured. Later, Jizhou was captured, and the number of captured Jin soldiers totaled hundreds of thousands.

Although many ordinary county soldiers have been laid off, there are only 20 soldiers and horses in the elite. If this group of soldiers and horses is well trained.Returning to Wei State, Wei State's military strength can directly rise to a higher level.

"These surrendered soldiers were quite resistant to our Wei State before, but since Tian Feng surrendered, people's hearts have calmed down. Tian Feng is a man with great prestige among the Jin army. He stepped forward. With Gao Lan and Zhang Jaw, It's under control!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "But if we want them to completely return to Wei, it will take at least one or two years!"

Tian Feng and Jushou were both captives of Wei State. Tian Feng was captured after being defeated by Yuan Shao in the First Battle of Baima.In the end, because Yuan Shao offended his whole family, he returned to the state of Wei.

But Jushou never let go.

"Where's the navy?" Cao Cao thought for a while before continuing to ask.

"Your Majesty, Cai Mao has rich experience in water warfare. Although he lost to Wu State in the Battle of Chibi in the past, it was only because of the disparity in strength between Chu State and Wu State. He is more familiar with water than all of us. war!"

After Xi Zhicai reported it, he said regretfully: "The naval base in Qingzhou has been established. In terms of shipbuilding, the blueprints of the battleships stolen from the state of Wu by the ghost soldiers played a lot of roles, but we still haven't got the blueprints for the ships. Create blueprints!"

"The building ships are the biggest combat power of Wu Guo's navy, of course they will be on strict defense!"

Cao Cao was not surprised, he said lightly: "This matter can't be rushed. Gu's establishment of a navy does not mean to compete with Wu Guo in the sea. Gu is not stupid enough to use his own shortcomings to forcibly collide with him. Wu's strengths."

"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu said suddenly, "Since we don't want to compete with Wu for the domination of the East China Sea, why do we spend so much manpower and material resources to build a navy?"

"Wen Ruo, that's a good question!" Cao Cao smiled, and then explained: "The reason why Gu built the navy was just to defend the coastline. In the past, Wei State was inland, so he didn't care about the seaside. , but now Jizhou is an important territory of the Wei State, Bohai Sea and Qingzhou are all coastlines, and the Wu State fleet can land at any time, so Gu can't be unprepared at all!"

"Your Majesty thinks very much!"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at each other and nodded quickly.

They all ignore the coastline. Now Jizhou and Qingzhou are connected to the East China Sea. On the East China Sea, the Wu Kingdom fleet is rampant. Come and go when you want. It is hard to defend. Only by developing the navy can we stop them. .

"Wen Ruo, does Wei Guo have the ability to go to war against Guanzhong this year?" Cao Cao suddenly looked at Prime Minister Xun Yu and asked.

"No!"
