Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"General Cao is superior in skill, I admire you!"

"I heard that Gongjin is extremely talented. You came from the south and must have passed through Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. Why don't you analyze the situation in the Central Plains?"

Zhou Yu looked at Cao Shuo in surprise, unexpectedly he knew where he came from.

"These states are currently recovering from the Yellow Turban. The states are in a state of chaos, and the shepherds and guards of each state are attacking each other. Within a month, the power of these states will definitely be reshuffled."

"Then Gongjin thinks who will have the last laugh?"

"Although the Yellow Turbans are powerful, it doesn't mean they can shake the positions of several governors."

"Which place in the world does Gongjin think is the safest?"

Zhou Yu looked at Cao Shuo and smiled, and said, "Does General Cao want you to praise him?"

"Then how about Gong Jin coming to work in Jizhou?"

Facing Cao Shuo's courtship, Zhou Yu was still very calm, "General Cao has countless advisers and generals, and my coming here is just icing on the cake."

Cao Shuo laughed, and said, "Gong Jin is taking refuge in Sun Ce, isn't he afraid that he will be caught out of the fire?"

"Everyone has his own ambitions. The friendship between me and Bofu cannot be explained clearly in a few words!"

Cao Shuo jokingly asked, "Gongjin really doesn't think about me, Jizhou?"

"Think about it, of course you have to think about it, didn't I come here to discuss cooperation with the general?"

Zhou Yu looked at Cao Shuo playfully, trying to poach me, it's really ridiculous.

"I wonder if Bofu has acted according to my plan?"

"General Cao's strategy is flawless. It not only weakened Yuan Shu's strength, but also won the support of the Gu family."

"Actually, there is one thing that Gongjin didn't expect!"

"What?" Zhou Yu looked at Cao Shuo in puzzlement. Did he miss something in his guess?

"The Lu family's Lu Yu carrier's family is small, and he's almost arriving in Jizhou!"

"what!"

Zhou Yu was terrified, why did Lu Yu come to Jizhou?Shouldn't he seek revenge from Yuan Shu?

Well, Cao Zixiang, you are so ruthless that you actually poached two of the four major Jiangdong families, and Bofu is very grateful to you.

"General Cao's move to get rid of the bottom line is really ingenious!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, it's different if there are more counselors around him, and he didn't even see this trick.

"What kind of business do you want to talk about? Bofu and I already owe each other nothing."

"I heard that Jizhou is rich in fine wine and fine salt. I want to cooperate with General Cao."

Zhen Jiang suddenly said: "Our wine is not cheap!"

Zhou Yu glanced in surprise and was shocked. Could it be that this person is from the Zhen family?

"Dare to ask Madam's name?"

"The Zhen family, Zhen Jiang!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. He didn't expect that these two beauties belonged to the Zhen family. Could it be that Cao Shuo knew the purpose of coming here?He even called Zhen's family.

"I heard that the Zhen family sells many types of wine, what are the prices?"

Zhen Jiang explained with a smile: "Jizhou officials wholesale from us. Spirits cost 100 stones per catty, and the price is 150 stones. If it is an outsider, it is 130 stones per catty, and the price is 150 stones. Huadiao wine...! "

Zhen Jiang told Zhou Yu more than a dozen types of wine in one breath, and Zhou Yu was horrified that the reserve price bought by Jizhou officials would be so different.

"Mrs. Zhen, why is there such a big price gap?"

"Because they work for my husband, this is the treatment they have won. If you also come to our Jizhou to be an official, the price will be the same!"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Cao Shuo to be so ruthless, and he still wanted to use this method to win over talents.

"Madam Zhen, why are the prices the same?"

"Because we will have equal opportunities and fair competition!"

"Equal Opportunity?"

Zhou Yu looked at the three with disdain, what kind of equal opportunity is this?

"Why, don't Mr. Zhou think this is not equal opportunity? If we don't control the selling price, then the merchants outside Jizhou, they have the strength to compete with our merchants in Jizhou?"

"This……"

Zhou Yu was right when he thought about it, if they wantonly cut the price down to 130 shi, then they are still playing a fart!

"How to exchange money for food?"

Zhen Jiang said ruthlessly: "No exchange! We don't want money. Dong Zhuo has already abolished the five baht coins. Copper coins are meaningless to us."

"My grass!"

Zhou Yu looked depressed and exchanged grain, so why did they transport so much grain to Jizhou?

"I still have something to do today. Gongjin can think about it slowly when he goes back. If he thinks that the local customs and customs of Jizhou are good, he can also settle here."

"Then don't bother!"

Chapter 120

Mid-May, 190 AD!

Qingzhou Yellow Turban led Bai Rao, Yu Du, Xu He, Geng Ling and others, and together with Taishan bandit Zang Ba, ravaged Jibei, Taishan County, Lu, Dongping, Rencheng, Shanyang and Dongjun in the east of Yanzhou.

Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, requisitioned food and grass from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. Qiao Mao refused to provide Liu Dai with food and grass on the grounds that there was not much food and grass in Dongjun.

In Juancheng, Jiyin County, Yanzhou, in the governor's mansion, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Cao Cao, who had just taken over as prime minister of Jiyin, gathered together to study how to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou.

"Master Inspector, our Jibei Kingdom needs the Inspector's reinforcements."

Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, looked at Liu Dai with a sad face. The Yellow Turban Army was said to be in the millions. He was the first to be affected by the Jibei Kingdom. The soldiers were only tens of thousands, and they could not stop their army at all.

"Right now, the whole of Yanzhou is rioting about the Yellow Turbans. Our troops are limited, and Bao Guoxiang still has to figure out a way for himself!"

How could Liu Dai have the extra troops for him, he was so devastated that he couldn't take care of himself.

Zhang Miao said: "The shepherd Yuan Shao of Qingzhou deliberately drove the Yellow Turban Army to Yanzhou, which is really the act of a villain."

"Right now, we must wipe out the Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible and restore order in Yanzhou!"

Cao Cao reminded everyone that if he was allowed to command, he would be sure to repel the Yellow Turban Army, but why.

Liu Dai said: "Jizhou Cao Shuo has a strong army, why doesn't Meng De let your son come to Yanzhou to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Cao Shuo is currently attacking Youzhou Xianbei and Wuhuan, and there is no spare force at all!"

Cao Cao didn't want Cao Shuo to intervene in Yanzhou. With his character, if he came to Yanzhou, he would surely plunder a lot of people. How would he live in Dongjun then?

Zhang Miao said: "Inspector Liu, the Yellow Turban army is powerful, I think it's better to stay out of the way for now."

"I agree with Meng Zhuo's suggestion. The Yellow Turban Army has millions of people. The soldiers are afraid of their numbers and have no fighting spirit. Our army can't resist it at all."

Bao Xin also disapproved of continuing the fight, and I am afraid that Yanzhou's strength will be greatly damaged if it continues to fight.

Zhang Miao said: "The Yellow Turban Army is a group of people who have been bewitched. They have no food, grass, and supplies. They loot all the way to make a living. If we stick to the city, the opponent has no siege equipment and cannot advance or retreat. It will definitely affect morale. If we take the opportunity If you attack, you will definitely win."

"Meng Zhuo is right, Governor Liu should not rush to attack!"

Bao Xin and Zhang Miao told Liu Dai to avoid his sharp edge first and recharge his energy.

However, Liu Dai was furious and said angrily: "I have led the army to fight for more than ten years, and I still need you to tell me what to do? The Yellow Turban Army is a group of farmers, with inferior weapons and equipment, and no horses. As long as I lead [-] elite soldiers, they can defeat them. But now I don't know where the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is."

Cao Cao looked horrified, this bastard actually wanted to find the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to decide the winner?Go crazy.

"Report, the Taishan bandit Zang Ba led his troops to attack the Anping Kingdom, and the Prime Minister of the Anping Kingdom Wang Hui asked for help."

Liu Dai was overjoyed that he finally found the Taishan thieves.

"Come here, ask Xu Xi and Wang Kai to mobilize five thousand elite soldiers and rush to Anping Kingdom with me."

Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Zhang Miao looked at each other with horror in their hearts. This guy is looking for death.

"The three county guards will clear up the Yellow Turban Army in the county as soon as possible, and the Taishan bandits will be handed over to me."

After Liu Dai left a word, he hurried to the barracks.

The first day of June in 190 AD!

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was surrounded by Taishan bandits in Shouzhang, Dongping State. Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao and others failed to rescue him. Shouzhang was breached, and Liu Dai was stabbed to death by Zang Ba, the leader of the bandits.

The dragons in Yanzhou had no leader, and fell into an era of disputes among princes.

Cao Shuo sent Zhou Yu away and went to the study.

"My lords, two of my food and grass have already come back. How can you say this is a good thing?"

Cao Shuo looked at Xun Yu and Xun You with a depressed expression.

Liu Dai is dead, Qiao Mao is dead, Yuan Yi is dead, Kong Ni is also dead, and there are more than 50 shi of grain in total.

The death of Liu Dai means that Cao Cao will take over. If he becomes the governor of Yanzhou, it will be equivalent to blocking most of his southward road.

Xun You said with a smile: "My lords, even if they don't die, they won't be able to get out so much food for a while, and they will be annexed by others, and they will still get nothing!"

"Liu Bei inherited Yuzhou, should you find someone to discuss with us about when Yuzhou owes us food, and when do you plan to return it?"

"My lord, Chen Lin, Yuan Shao's general, can take on this role!"

Xun Yu looked at Cao Shuo with a smile on his face. Since Chen Lin and Han Meng returned to Xindu, they had been idle in Xindu. Now is the time for him to come in handy.

"Send someone to notify Chen Lin and ask him to come here to see me."

"promise!"

"Who do you think is the most suitable governor of Yanzhou?"

"I feel that no matter who is the governor of Yanzhou, right now we have to cross the Yellow River, assist them in eradicating the Yellow Turbans, and gain some benefits!"

After Xun You finished speaking, he looked at Xi Zhicai beside him. He had a lot of information about Yanzhou in his hands, and he would definitely have the best plan.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, the geographical location of Chiping is extremely important. We can let General Zhang Yun capture Chiping to prepare for our southward crossing of the Yellow River."

"Chi Ping?"

Cao Shuo took out a map and searched for a long time before finding out that the northernmost county in Jibei Kingdom used to be the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Since I have occupied all the boundaries of the East County north of the Yellow River, it has now become the junction of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou.

Xi Zhicai said again: "Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and now the prefect of Dongjun has been vacant all the time. The territory north of the Yellow River in Dongjun has been claimed by our army, and it has become the smallest county in Yanzhou. Puyang is the county along the Yellow River. An important town, we can take the opportunity to take it."

"Okay, then let Han Meng and Zhao Feng lead an army of [-] to attack Puyang while the dragons in Yanzhou are leaderless."

Xun You reminded: "My lord, why don't you announce that Cao Cao is the governor of Yanzhou?"

"If Cao Cao became the Inspector of Yanzhou, how can we obtain the territory south of the Yellow River?"

"My lord, if Cao Cao is standing up in Yanzhou, then we can fully deal with Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, or Dong Zhuo's army in Henan Yin."

Cao Shuo asked suspiciously:

"Henan Yin has already been plundered by Dong Zhuo and the Eighteenth Route princes. He has empty territory but no population. What is the use of it?"

"My lord, Henan Yin is next to Yingchuan. Although Yingchuan has suffered from wars, its population is still 50 million, accounting for almost half of Yuzhou's population. If we can form an alliance with Cao Cao and help him take Yanzhou, then we will You can seize Henan Yin and spy on Yingchuan County."

"Then listen to your lords and let Cao Cao be the governor of Yanzhou. However, that will only happen after we take down Puyang and Chiping."

Chapter 121 Ah... What Are You Doing?

In the middle of the night, Cao Shuo sent some of his subordinates away, got up and went to the backyard.

"boom!"

As soon as he reached the door of the study, he bumped into someone.

"Sorry, Miss Zhao, I walked too fast!"

Zhao Aier said apologetically, "I was walking without looking at the road!"
