If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

"Why do you have the jade seal?" Cao Cao touched his hand feeling good, and confirmed that it was Liu Hong's jade seal. He held the jade seal under the light to check, and he really saw the mysterious streamer in it. Cao Cao knew that streamer, beautiful The land is like the uncanny workmanship of nature, which is amazing.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly. Cao Cao thought he would not answer, but he heard him say calmly: "I got it from Sun Jian's eldest son."

As for how Sun Jian obtained this jade seal, it may have something to do with the chaotic Luoyang where he led his troops away.Yuan Shu could only guess in this way. The dream of becoming king and emperor in his heart was shattered, which made him feel at a loss as to what to do in the future. His ambition was not realized, and the jade seal that made his ambition expand had already been lost to Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu's state of mind was a bit strange. This jade seal seemed to have the magic power to charm people's hearts. Holding it in his hand, he seemed to be able to see the whole world in the palm of his hand. The taste was so wonderful, it was the sweet fragrance of the pinnacle of power. He did not believe that Cao Cao could abide by his heart and never be fascinated by the hegemony in front of him.

Yuan Shu didn't want to admit that he was inferior to Cao Cao. Everyone graduated from Taixue, and they were all students taught by the same master. They had experienced the same learning. How could Cao Man be so much better than him?

Yuan Shu thought so, so he did it. He threw the jade seal to Cao Cao, and watched him go his own way, approaching the supreme power, whether he was playing with power or being played by power. In the meantime, he waited and saw the future of the No.1 Taixue.

When Cao Cao talked about nonsense, he was full of sweet words. He wanted to win over Yuan Shu. Although he defeated Yuan Shu, his tolerance and generosity would become a good foundation for him to occupy other princes in the future. If he gets decent here, more and more people will turn to him.

Cao Cao, who already had awareness of this aspect, finally grew into a mature man with a city and a scheming heart. The counselors were very pleased.

Cao Cao was taken aback. Seeing his blood streaks drop again, he was so worried that he lost a few more beards.

Over the past few years, Xi Zhicai has been sick for a few months every year, his health is not good, he loves to worry about things, and he is a hard worker, and his health has not improved until now.

Cao Cao searched for herbal medicines in Yuzhou, and asked the military doctor to show Xi Zhicai. The military doctor could only adopt the old-fashioned cooling treatment, and the prescription was the same as before. Cao Cao then recruited Yuzhou to find famous local doctors.I took advantage of Xi Zhicai to fall asleep, and brushed his blood bar, which was only a temporary relief. If it really worked, Cao Cao wouldn't worry about it.

The subordinates came to report to Cao Cao: "My lord, we have collected the whole territory, and the food we got is only enough for our army for another five days. After five days, we will run out of food."

"My lord, Yuzhou is not rich in herbs. They don't have a lot of land for artificial cultivation. They can only rely on the wild herbs collected by the villagers. The medicines for our wounded soldiers are also insufficient."

Although the army captured the chassis, the Yuzhou left by Yuan Shu to Cao Cao is indeed riddled with holes. The local people are withered and the economy is backward. This year's fields have been recruited by the army because of the war. The farmers have no food to eat. , can only gnaw turf, gnaw tree roots, and eat wild fruits. After eating them all, the ugliness of human nature will be fully exposed. Cao Cao does not want to see the tragic image of Yizi eating. .

There was also news from the rear of Yanzhou that the supply of grain and grass in the state was in short supply. The war already consumed food, and raising another Yuzhou would make life difficult for those who were struggling before.

Cao Cao had a terrible headache, and soon Liu Bei also sent someone to report: Yuan Shao had only fulfilled [-]% of the grain that Yuan Shao had promised to Qingzhou, and the rest was never supplied.

Cao Cao was anxious about food and grass, and some people began to suggest to Cao Cao: "If you can't supply food, you can only give up the small and protect the big, at least keep Yanzhou."

So the newly laid chassis just give up? !

What is even more infuriating is that at this juncture, Tao Qian of Xuzhou began to harass the border of Yanzhou again. A large number of Xuzhou soldiers and horses were stationed in Taishan County, and a large number of Xuzhou troops approached outside Peiguo, which is adjacent to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao immediately ordered to mobilize the generals near Peiguo to guard the pass. At this time of food shortage, if even the granary of Peiguo was lost, they would really be doomed.

Xi Zhicai fell ill, so Guo Jia could only take his place. Guo Jia, who was in the back, was busy day and night to join Cao Cao. The ends of the hair are all withered and yellow.

Although the situation was not good, Cao Cao still did not give up lobbying Yuan Shu, and he never mentioned in front of Yuan Shu how bad Yuzhou was by him: "Although the road was defeated by me, it was because I was a local official in Jiujiang. The victory is not fair to you. In my opinion, you have excellent ability. I don't know if I have the honor to invite my former classmates to seek the future together? I can submit a letter to let you continue to be a Yuzhou pastor and recruit you back. Your old subordinate, let you continue to manage this piece of land as a magistrate."

It's just that at this time, Yuzhou Mu will be surrounded by people arranged by Cao Cao, and his family members must also migrate to Yanzhou to become hostages. Just like Liu Bei's family members live in Yanzhou, Cao Cao sent the big man "local officials are not allowed to bring their family members with them when they go to any place." regulations have been extended.

Yuan Shu ignored Cao Cao, rolled his eyes at him, and issued a dismissal order unceremoniously: "I'm sick, and I should be allowed to recuperate. You are a busy person, and you are always wasting your time with me."

Even though Yuan Shu didn't cooperate, Cao Cao didn't feel disappointed when he had the jade seal in his hand. He had a premonition that it was a good face for Gong Gong, so he didn't immediately agree to be loyal to him.

Otherwise, what would he do for himself Yuxi?

Cao Cao said again: "Your family members are still in Linjiang County, there is no military protection there, and Liu Biao is on the other side of the river. Since the road has already arrived here, why don't you bring your family members here to reunite with you?"

Yuan Shu lazily raised his eyes and glanced at him, pursed his lips and didn't answer, because he didn't want to succumb to Cao Cao's obscenity and prestige.

Cao Cao thought it was Yuan Shu's acquiescence, and sent people to surround Yuan Shu's family members and clan members who had fled outside, and tied them back.

The whole family should live neatly under his nose, so that he can rest assured that Yuan Shu will not make a comeback.

Killing the possibility of Yuan Shu's resurgence, Cao Cao returned to his previous melancholy, that without food, he could not fight, if the people were hungry, it would be easy to cause chaos, and if the soldiers were hungry, they would not be able to fight.

After Guo Jia came, he told Cao Cao: "Tao Qian gathered nearly [-] soldiers from Xuzhou to block Taishan County, and nearly [-] infantry to press outside Peiguo. At present, General Xiahou has gone to guard the pass, but because the lord took away the army , the defense in the rear is insufficient, once General Xiahou leaves, if there is another disturbance in the rear of Yanzhou at this time, all the achievements that the lord has built before will fall short."

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Before Zhicai persuaded me not to disturb the local clans in Yanzhou, I endured it. Fortunately, they were not disturbed at that time. At least the government and the people in Yanzhou at this time are of one mind."

Fortunately, at that time, he didn't kill the local celebrities in Yanzhou who hindered him because of a moment of anger, so that in the face of foreign troubles, at least there were no internal worries, which allowed him to make a stable layout.

"Tao Qian is such an annoying old man, he will be beaten sooner or later!" Cao Cao said ruthlessly, "I want him to pay compensation from the entire state for taking the revenge of a county in Mount Tai."

Cao Ang, who has been silently running errands for Cao Cao and failed to go to the battlefield, asked Cao Cao: "Father, why don't you ask Yuan Shao again, if he is willing to give us the food he promised before, and save some food, this winter It will pass."

Guo Jia felt that if Yuan Shao was really willing to give the food, he would have already given it readily, and divided it into several batches in a procrastinated manner.

Cao Cao sent someone to deliver a message to Yuan Shao, and said in the letter: I believe that you are the one who kept your promise at the beginning. I kept my promise to help you take down Bohai. Now, can you reciprocate and keep our promise?

After Yuan Shao saw it, he recruited his subordinates to discuss it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Cao Jun's attack on Bohai, Guo Tu, who had finally returned to Yuan Shao's camp, hated Cao Cao. He stood up and said forcefully, "My lord! Times are different. At the beginning, he was a poor magistrate who was sitting on the barren land of Yanzhou. You just won Qingzhou. You didn’t care. Now his power has grown and he has eaten Yuzhou. Cao Cao has become a veritable The Lord of the Three States, if you give him food at this time, won't you be taken advantage of?"

Other counselors also spoke up one after another, and Ju Shou stepped forward and said: "My lord promised Cao Cao to give him food, but I failed to keep my promise. People in the world will scold my lord for reneging on your promises, and say that you are a capricious Lv Bu. Your reputation is not good. Cao Cao has three states, and you are a cooperative relationship. Now you have Bingzhou, which is good at producing horses, and Jizhou, which is rich in grain. Since there is a surplus of grain, borrow some from Cao Cao. Well, we can propose to use his power to wipe out Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop."

Guo Tu sternly objected: "Isn't my lord raising tigers?! Cao Cao already owns the three states, and nearly half of the land north of the river is in Cao Cao's hands. Now the three states are poor. Does the lord have to pay for his own food?" , to feed Cao Cao's army? When Cao Cao prospers in the future, won't he become another powerful enemy of the lord?"

Rationally, Xun Chen knew that what Guo Tu said was somewhat reasonable, but after all, for the sake of Yuan Shao's reputation, he had to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Xun Chen bowed to Yuan Shao and said: "Since ancient times, the cooperation between the two forces has the habit of giving protons. The cooperation between the lord and Cao Cao is to take what each takes, and it is also a strong alliance, but I am also afraid that the partner will stab you in turn. Daozi, why don't you ask Cao Cao to send a hostage, so that the hostage will be in the hands of the lord, and the alliance between you will go further."

In fact, a better way to form an alliance is to marry, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are destined to have sons, and the sons appear one after another in the family. Even if there is no daughter, the marriage will not work, and they can only rely on protons to provide a layer of insurance.

Yuan Shao adopted this suggestion, and also mentioned in his answer to Cao Cao: If you want food, you can, but you have to send your family members to Jizhou to live.

Cao Cao was immediately annoyed, threw the bamboo slips to the ground in front of everyone, and said angrily: "Yuan Benchu ​​wanted me to bow down to him, but I am the one who surrenders just for a few buckets of grain, this is taking advantage of the fire! "

Cao Cao would rather grit his teeth and persevere through this difficult winter, and would never bow to Yuan Shao, sign a treaty of forfeiture of power, or even sell his family's safety to complete his career.

The envoy sent by Yuan Shao turned pale when he saw this: "Pastor Yanzhou refused to cooperate with our lord?"

"Is this cooperation? The conditions he gave Yuan Benchu, isn't that an extremely absurd proposal? Is this to treat me like a good-tempered clay figurine, or to deceive me as a fool? His cooperation is not sincere, and neither are I. It will give him this face, the emissary, please go back! Help him beat Gongsun Zan, don't talk about it!"

Cao Cao scolded Yuan Shao coldly for his whimsy. When the subordinate officials asked what happened, Cao Cao replied, "He wants me to move my family to live in Jizhou."

As he talked, Cao Cao became even more angry: "Is he sure to be a fool? My family members moved to the highway because I defeated him. He didn't do anything, just wanted to eat me with some food. I Not so stupid!"

It turned out that Yuan Shao did not ask Cao Cao to send a hostage as Xun Chen said, but because Cao Cao had no food, the lion asked him to move all his family members here, which made Cao Cao angry.

Guo Jia was not surprised by this: "Yuan Shao has the heart to aspire to the world, and he has already regarded the lord as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and he is cooperating with you now because there are other enemies. It's time for the lord to fight Yuan Shao."

There are so many granaries in Jizhou that they are piled up to fill the barn, and even the mice are raised to be fat and strong. If Cao Cao knew about this, his eyes would turn red with envy and hatred.

Without food, he had to think of other ways to feed his hunger. Cao Cao sent people to collect wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, and found "cabbage" and "shepherd's purse" which were easy to grow. After inquiring about the system, Cao Cao made up for it. Regarding the knowledge of agricultural plants, I sent people to dig everywhere in Yuzhou to search the mountains.

Cao Cao tried his best, and sent people to collect pheasants, ducks, and rabbits, and enclose them to grow poultry. The good-looking army did not go to war, but tossed some plants and poultry in the nest, but was forced to do nothing.

Cao Cao had the cheek to ask the gentlemen in the system space if there was any way to increase the food.

The two gentlemen exchanged glances and cleared their throats: "Originally, there are some things that cannot be told to you. The system encourages you to work on your own and adapt to the development of the times. We can only teach you concepts, but cannot give you information that is too advanced. You have real items, but I know a way to increase food, and you can get it now."

A female cultivator named Mei Niang gave advice to Cao Cao: "You mostly use grain to cook, or make porridge, or make dry food, and rarely raise dough. You can ask someone to try it. The dough comes out The finished product will make the grain soft, and the one that looks small at first will end up with pasta that is much larger than the original volume."

The era in which Mei Niang lived was obviously an era when making noodles had become a common phenomenon. Cao Cao listened attentively to this method, and when he woke up in the morning, he immediately asked people to try making noodles.

The winter of this year was the hardest for Cao Cao since he became a local official. He seemed to own the land of the three states, but he was poor. He had treasures in his pockets and excellent weapons. The only thing he lacked was supplies. Bread for people to eat and clothes for people to wear.

If there is no food, people will starve. Without clothes, people will freeze to death in the cold winter. The only good thing is that Yuzhou is located in the south compared to Yanzhou, and the temperature is higher than Yanzhou. To the point where a large number of people froze to death.

All of a sudden, even the generals and bureaucrats began to drink porridge and eat noodles to survive. Everyone cut down on food and clothing, and tried to go out as little as possible. The most food in the three states is currently supplied to the front lines against Xuzhou .

Maybe God is watching Cao Cao's poverty, and his worried rear has survived the winter in peace, while the biggest enemy in the west of Yanzhou, Zhang Yang who lives in Sili, has mastered Guo Si and Li Jue in Chang'an. Together, there is no time to manage Cao Cao's place for the time being, giving Cao Cao time to recover.

After this battle, Cao Cao paid more attention to the breeding of crops and silkworms.

Since Yuzhou was conquered, Yingchuan, located in Yuzhou, also became under the rule of Cao Cao. Guo Jia took a trip to Yingchuan and returned to his hometown to persuade the scholars who had entered Yingchuan Academy one by one. As much as possible, try to introduce them to Cao Cao to do things.

With the addition of this group of literati, the civil servant group under Cao Cao finally had a new life, with new blood in it.

Among the scholars who were born in Yingchuan, there was a very special person. He came from a poor family and had been waiting for the opportunity to become an official. When Yuan Shu came, he was not recruited because of his unknown reputation, so he lived in seclusion at home.With Guo Jia's visit this time, the scholar named Zaozhi finally got the chance to become an official.He has a lot of experience in farming, mulberry and fields. After Guo Jia's introduction, he showed his face and gave Cao Cao new opinions.

Xizhi suggested that Cao Cao adopt the "Garrison System" to use the strength of the army to gather the refugees and poor people who had no land to plant, and those who surrendered from Yuzhou to let them work and reclaim new wasteland.

As early as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was already the concept of garrisoning fields, and Cao Cao also took measures to garrison fields under his own rule.

The "farming system" suggested by Zaozhi is different from Cao Cao's previous gentle methods. What he wants is high-intensity and high-efficiency production. Therefore, the peasants are strictly managed like an army. To tame them and obey orders, even the officials in charge of "Tuntian" are set up by "Tuntian Xiaowei", "Tuntian Duwei", and "Tuntian Sima" respectively, so as to assign target tasks to each county under the rule , Each county then assigns tasks to the county, and pushes down layer by layer, and finally every village has officials in charge.

In order to prevent the local officials from being exploited layer by layer, Kaizhi suggested: "It is only necessary for the lord to hold each official's official in his own hands, and the upper and lower levels among the local officials are only responsible for supervision and have no subordinate relationship. To a certain extent, avoid the situation that the lord is worried about."

Perhaps because of the lingering fears of the dark officialdom of corruption and bribery in various places in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was very vigilant when he was in governance, and his subordinate officials colluded with each other to search for the people's fat and anointment.

Once the garrison system was issued, the originally scattered refugees in Yuzhou and those who were running around because of lack of food were gathered, and the chaotic situation was restored.This year, Cao Cao's New Year's Eve was celebrated in Yuzhou. He spent an anxious New Year with Xi Zhicai, who was sick, and Guo Jia, who had typhoid and runny nose. Fortunately, he was accompanied by his eldest son. Like a golden boy who has landed in the mortal world, caring and filial to his father, he is already able to take charge of himself like a little adult.

Xi Zhicai's illness required nutrition and medicinal herbs, but there was a food shortage. In order to feed this counselor well, Cao Cao spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources to search for medicinal herbs and find a doctor.

Xi Zhicai, who was ill, held his hand softly to stop his wasteful and money-consuming behavior, and said helplessly: "It's such a time, and you are still working so hard for me, because I am alone, how much manpower and material resources should be wasted! "

Cao Cao held his cold hand. When he was not on official business, either Guo Jia came to visit Xi Zhicai, or Cao Cao came to see Xi Zhicai himself. They also recruited two maidservants for Xi Zhicai, and two servants to serve him. Now Guo Jia He also had a runny nose, and he became Cao Cao who often ran to Xi Zhicai alone.

"My counselor, one man is stronger than a thousand troops. If I lose a few soldiers, how can I feel sorry for the loss of a thousand troops?" Cao Cao watched in horror as Zhicai's blood continued to drop every day. And it drops more and more every day.

For this reason, he can only run here every day, channeling his internal energy, taking advantage of his low blood volume and falling asleep to have a fan dance.After each dance, Xi Zhicai felt more energetic the next morning and had an appetite to eat again. In the afternoon, he developed a low fever again.

The doctors were helpless about this, and the military doctors were only good at treating trauma. Cao Cao asked everyone, and several doctors said that Xi Zhicai could only survive this disease on his own.

The doctor said: "Military Master, he just caught cold, but because of his weak body, he got typhoid fever and hasn't recovered for a long time."

The current situation of Xi Zhicai seemed familiar, which aroused Cao Cao's familiar memories. He especially remembered that Cao Jie, the first eunuch who was in power in the imperial court, how many literati wanted to pull him off the horse but destroyed themselves. The mountain was attacked and destroyed by the sudden wind and cold. From the mild illness at the beginning, to the lingering sickness after a long time, and then died of severe illness, Cao Cao, who died in Cao Jie, still remembers this. Typhoid fever is so terrible that it can be easily cured Take human life.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai's situation was the same as that of Cao Jie, Cao Cao was very disturbed, fearing that his adviser would leave him.At the same time, Guo Jia, who also had mild typhoid fever, was ordered by him to stay at home obediently and was not allowed to go out. Various supplements, soups and medicines were delivered to the door. Cao Ang volunteered to supervise, full of enthusiasm and vitality.

In this cold winter, Cao Cao was very pleased to have such a lively and energetic figure busy before and after. He warned Cao Ang to protect himself, and personally checked the capacity of Cao Ang's internal energy, so he was relieved to let him do things.

It was rare for Guo Jia to listen to Cao Cao's words. He stayed at home obediently and wrote official documents when he had nothing to do, or read a scroll of bamboo slips over there.

Cao Ang glanced aside inadvertently, and saw some strange words on the bamboo slips, and when he took a closer look, his face turned red.

Guo Jia was not ashamed when he was discovered, and he waved to Cao Ang with a smile: "Aang has also reached the age of the governor, this book is fascinating, it's good, why don't I lend it to you."

Cao Ang took a few steps back, and stared at him like a ghost: "Reading pornographic books in broad daylight, the military commander is too dishonest!"

"Where is this a pornographic book? This is a love story between a female ghost and a scholar! It's a good book to relax after dinner," Guo Jia shouted, although his voice was a little hoarse, but he was in good spirits: "You can't just because When you see the eclectic place, you ignore the sincere emotion written in it!"

Cao Ang didn't want to know at all how the female ghost was able to nourish the yin and yang of the scholar. He shook his head, turned around and went to complain to Cao Cao.

After Cao Ang left, Guo Jia murmured behind him: "Isn't it naive to complain to my father every now and then?"

When Cao Ang arrived at the mansion, he walked to the place where Cao Cao was familiar. When he passed the yard, a familiar figure flashed in his sight. He stopped and blinked: "Huh? Mother is here?"

He hastened to follow her, and ran behind her to call her.
