"Yuan Rang has worked hard, how are the people in the city?"

"Don't worry, general, the people are all in a safe place."

When they came to the city wall, they saw a scribe standing on a high place, commanding his subordinates to besiege the Heishan army in the city. The wind from the high place made his hair messy, but he couldn't hide his handsome figure. Cao Cao's eyes were shining, Shouted: "Wen Ruo!"

Seeing Cao Cao approaching, the scholar nodded and said, "My lord, everything is going according to plan. The bandit leader has been captured, and I ask my lord to take charge of the overall situation."

Cao Cao looked at the scene in the city, and everything was expected, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "I didn't expect these thieves to be so bold!"

But it turned out that he led the army out to take the old nest of the Black Mountain Army, and the layout in his own city was even more prosperous. As long as the Black Mountain Army dared to come, he would definitely give them a catch.The Xiahou brothers guarded the city, so Cao Cao was at ease.

Cao Cao was overjoyed after capturing the Black Mountain Army alive, and told Xun Yu what he had gained during his trip: "I followed their tracks all the way and brought them to their lair."

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "Where is the Lord's horse?"

Cao Cao froze. His horse had been chopped off by thieves a long time ago. With erratic eyes, he replied guiltily, "Xi... sacrificed."

Xun Yu's smile became brighter and brighter: "Is this the sacrifice of a good horse raised with a lot of horse grass?"

Cao Cao was a little afraid of him, so he shivered, and hurriedly said: "The Black Mountain Army has a lot of food and military resources in the den, and dozens of horses!"

Xun Yu's face looked better now, and he said lightly: "My lord, I wish I had said this earlier. I thought you went out for a trip and made a loss-making business again. Can the black mountain army provide us with food and grass for the winter?"

"Shouldn't be enough for the winter," Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, "probably enough for one month."

Xun Yu lowered his head and played with his hair, sighed softly: "That's all." No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and it is enough to have enough food for a month, and it will be the autumn harvest in a short time. The days after that will be easier.

"My lord's clothes are torn," Xun Yu asked, "It must be a lot of danger along the way."

Cao Cao said sternly: "The thieves continued to attack and slaughtered the nearby villages. I have ordered people to recruit villagers to live in the county town. Next, we can open the city gate to welcome the people. When the people settle down and cultivate more land, everything will be fine in the future. He looked down at the big cut in his shirt, thinking that he would go back to the house to get a needle and thread to mend it.

Xun Yu sighed, indeed, it will be better in the future, but next year must be a sad year. There must be enough people to plant the land during the spring plowing, and then save food and clothing to support the next autumn harvest.This period of time will be the most difficult test.

Xun Yu, a top strategist with a glorious reputation, is far superior to ordinary people in terms of internal affairs, strategy, and literati talent. When he was in Yuan Shao's tent, the civil servant Xu You persuaded him. He is the real master of enlightenment, don't follow him blindly, he has no future, and he is Cao Cao after the eunuch.

Xun Yu stuffed him with sugar on the grounds that he could not be reused in Yuan Shao's tent, and soon resigned from Yuan Shao, and went to join Cao Cao, who was chasing Dong Zhuo at that time.

He was very handy in dealing with internal affairs, but at this time he said helplessly to Cao Cao: "Horses are rare in the Lord's army, not to mention that there is no horse dealer to sell our horses, and we don't have the money to buy horses. We will wait for the next battle." My lord, be careful, don't let the good horse be easily damaged outside."

Cao Cao hurriedly nodded in response, repeatedly reassuring.

What made Xun Yu's smile turn dark because of the horse?

What compelled Cao Cao, who used soldiers like a god, to go back to the house to sew and mend bitterly?

It's poor!

They are really poor. They want to build a city, form an army, take in the people, guard the city, wipe out bandits, and ask for money everywhere. What's worse, Cao Cao's old father, who has a rich family, is stingy and stingy, and he is unwilling to give up at all. Money to support this self-made son who suffers from haha.

In the early days of starting from scratch, Cao Cao, who was originally the second generation of officials, and his friends lived a poor life wishing to break a penny in half.

Just as Cao Cao said, when he issued an order saying that the county was willing to accept the survivors of the slaughtered village, many of the surviving villagers packed up their belongings and prepared to leave for the county with their families.

"Weak and weak, the only destiny is to be bullied. If you can't seek shelter from someone else, you will end up with a tragic death." Jia Xu sighed lightly, and whispered in Diaochan's ear, "What does Dongcao think?"

"They go to Cao Cao, at least their safety is guaranteed," Diao Chan said. "As for how Cao Cao treats the people under his rule, I don't know. I'm not familiar with him."

"The demands of the common people are very simple, as long as they can live, eat enough, and wear warm clothes, that's enough," Jia Xu said quietly: "How many people in this world can do this, and how many princes set off a war for their own selfish desires?" In the end, the war is so bitter that it is not the common people.”

Diao Chan gave him a strange look: "Have you lost your mind?"

Jia Xu:"……"

It's fine if you don't fall for it, but she still curses!

Would Diao Chan be perplexed by this kind of thing?She, the "savior", has been retired for a long time since solving the survival plan of the people in the future world!It doesn't make sense to work without a certificate in ancient times.

"You have to know that there are a few fools in every dynasty who take the great responsibility of the world on their shoulders and do things that ordinary people can't do. They may spend their entire lives, or they may devote their efforts to do it for several generations. In this troubled world , will always come to an end someday in the future," Diao Chan said lightly.

Jia Xu was startled: "What about you? Are you such a fool?"

Diao Chan gave him a strange look, she really felt that Jia Xu was weird today, she pointed to her eyes.

"Look at my eyes, am I stupid?"

Her eyes are clear to the bottom, the most clear and calm, like ice spring water, condensed and indifferent.

Jia Xu:"???"

Seeing that Jia Xu was confused by her, Diao Chan chuckled, "I'm not stupid, and neither is Lu Bu. So far, I've only seen one person with such eyes."

Jia Xu: "Who is it?"

"Cao Cao!"

Diao Chan replied decisively, and she suddenly laughed, trembling wildly, laughing so that Jia Xu immediately moved three feet away from her, with an expression of what's wrong with you again.

"How do you know?" Jia Xu asked again.

Diao Chan stopped talking. She glanced across the field and saw rats surrounding the roots of the trees, gnawing on the trees. The surroundings were gray and the air smelled of scorched earth. hands.

Diaochan murmured, "Is this the rat of disaster that Xiaochan remembered from her childhood?"

She looked at the ugly mouse over and over again, and suddenly laughed: "Wood mouse?"

As the name suggests, it is a mouse that eats wood, but the meat quality is not good.

Others don't know, but Diao Chan doesn't know?After the wood mouse is hybridized, it becomes the famous bamboo mouse!

Jia Xu said: "This kind of rat is used to plunder the roots and bark of trees to eat with the people in disaster years. It is hated by people. What do you do with it?"

Diaochan sighed softly: "People will die if they eat tree roots, but rats won't die if they eat them, and people won't die if they eat them, what do you think?"

It's a pity, if there are people who know how to breed, the villagers of Xiaochan back then will not only not starve to death, but maybe they can get rich by doing so.Diao Chan was a little dazed, and she thought again: getting rich quickly leads to disaster, just like a child holding gold bricks in the market, but if he can't keep it, it will still be nothing.

What she didn't tell Jia Xu was that besides Cao Cao, she had seen such firm eyes in another person.

The man was in her vanity mirror, looking at her steadfastly.

little cicada...

Jia Xu was very surprised: "Can this rat also be eaten?" When he was in Luoyang before, he knew how low Diao Chan's lower limit was, she even ate insects!This is also what he admires. A woman who eats bugs can't be easily provoked. Whoever provokes her will be unlucky!

"Most rats are the source of plagues and disasters, how can they eat them!"

"Rats spread diseases because they are carriers, not producers," Diao Chan said. "Cooked rat meat after artificial breeding is naturally edible."

Jia Xu stared at the ugly wood mouse for a while, and muttered to himself: "Indeed, look at its butt, it's quite fat and tender."

Diao Chan tidied up and headed for the county seat, Jia Xu led the army to follow behind, marching a little slower.

Meeting the young man with a fierce face again, Diao Chan asked: "The battle in the city is over, can we be allowed to enter the city now?"

Xia Houdun clasped his fists and said, "I have offended Dong Caoyu before, but I hope Dongcao will not take it to heart. Our general has told us that if we see a woman with a long halberd leading an army, I will definitely invite you in." Inside the city, Dong Cao Yu, please follow me."

Cao Cao knew that Diao Chan wanted to enter the city but failed.After communicating with Xiahoudun, I already knew that Diaochan was the Dong Caozhu sent by Lu Bu, and I felt extremely regretful. Why did Lu Feng get all the benefits first?

After they arrived in the city, Cao Cao came to greet them in person, with a warm and generous attitude. Hearing that Diao Chan was going to lead the army across the city, Cao Cao immediately agreed.

Xun Yu was puzzled, and asked Cao Cao in private, "Why is my lord so enthusiastic about Dong Caochao?"

"Lü Bu is courageous, cunning, reflexive, and mercenary. Chang'an will not last long in his hands," Cao Cao said, "Dong Cao is courageous, resourceful, intelligent and farsighted. There is an opportunity to gain a good general.”

Xun Yu was amazed to hear that Cao Cao had a high opinion of Dong Caoju: "However, there are rumors in the world that Dong Caojun is Lu Fengxian's confidante, simple in the emperor's heart, beautiful and heavenly, and has the appearance of a witch who is a disaster for the country."

Cao Cao said: "Rumors and rumors cannot be trusted. There is a strange woman in the world. She can go into battle and kill the enemy, and she can give advice when she retreats. She is excellent in riding, superb in martial arts, and her ability to lead troops is not inferior to mine. People who have really seen her will not Fascinated by her beauty, you will only be overwhelmed by her strength."

Cao Cao sighed softly, knowing that he couldn't keep him now, so he could only stop with regret.

Xun Yu asked, "Why is my lord sighing?"

Cao Cao said: "I lament that there are no outstanding generals to lead my soldiers, and there is no one around me except you."

Indeed, apart from his own clan or fellow countrymen, Cao Cao lacked other generals to lead the army, and even counselors and civil servants were pitifully few. Xun Yu thought thoughtfully, and he said to Cao Cao: "When I was in Yingchuan, I used to make friends with talented people from poor families. My good friend, the Son of Heaven, is excellent, and I can give advice to my lord. Another family member has returned to Yingchuan. It is Xun You, the former servant of the Huangmen who just resigned from Chang'an and returned to his hometown. Why don't I write a letter asking if they are willing to come and join the lord? ?”

Cao Cao said in surprise, "Great kindness!"

When Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao finally cheered up again, he shook his head amusedly. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and murmured, "Wang Yun's daughter?"

Xun Yu was very curious about Diao Chan. Hearing that Cao Cao had such a high opinion of Diao Chan, he even wanted to get in touch with Diao Chan himself.

If she is so good, then take the opportunity to pry Lu Bu's corner. It would be even better if she can work with her one day in the future.

A talented person chooses a good master to live in, and no one can say for sure about the future!

Because the 5000 people led by Jia Xu had not yet arrived outside the city, Diao Chan temporarily stayed in the city to wait for him.When Xun Yu came to visit, it happened that Diao Chan was playing with wood mice idly.

When Diao Chan saw Cao Cao, a military adviser with clear eyes, a majestic orchid and jade trees, and an outstanding demeanor, as well as the "fool" eyes similar to Cao Cao's, his affection increased greatly.

Look, not all counselors are as old and cunning as Jia Xu, isn't there an honest person here?Should it be said that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups?Cao Cao and Xun Yu are like comrades-in-arms who have the same goal and walk the same path.

Diao Chan chatted with Xun Yu, and heard him ask about the situation of the veterans around Emperor Han in Chang'an, so she said a few more words, and she suddenly realized: "So you are the youngest son of Mr. Xun Yu."

Knowing his father Kangtai, Xun Yu felt at ease. He made tea and played chess with Diao Chan, and found that she was not only good on the battlefield, but also had a very high literary accomplishment. Any man in the world."

"Thank you, I'm just superficial," Diao Chan started to play chess, sometimes aggressively, like a general rushing to kill in front of the battle, Xun Yu responded with a smile, quietly laying out the layout, using softness to overcome strength.

Her eyes were as charming as autumn water, and she asked Xun Yu while playing chess: "The people nearby, under Cao Cao's rule, should be able to live and work in peace and contentment, right? At least they don't have to worry about bandits attacking the village overnight."

Xun Yu paused his chess hand, looked at Diao Chan, and saw her eyes were burning like a fire, he sighed softly, nodded and replied: "My lord will definitely protect the people under my rule, so as not to worry about the flames of war. "

The elegant and peaceful aura on Xun Yu made people feel very comfortable. Diao Chan chuckled lightly, looked down at the chessboard that had been wiped out by her, and said to Xun Yu, "You lost."

Xun Yu dropped a son, cut off Bai Zi's lifeline, reversed the situation in an instant, turned against the wind, he said slowly: "Dong Cao's heart is not calm, impatience will make mistakes, it is inevitable."

Watching the way of chess can be seen in people's hearts, Diao Chan's fierceness of chess moves Xun Yu is shocked, if he hadn't exhausted his energy to endure and grind against her chess edge, maybe he would be crushed by her!

Diao Chan picked up the black pieces and blocked the back path of the white characters. In an instant, all the chessboards became the territory laid down by the black pieces, and the poor white pieces were besieged in it.

Xun Yu was stunned, observed carefully, and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is." To attract people's attention by charging forward vigorously, and then to consolidate the defense with a silent layout, it seemed like a mindless aggressive move, but in fact It's all a well-thought-out layout.

Xun Yu nodded and said, "It is true that I lost."

Diao Chan feels that there are not many smart people like Xun Yu who are honest and sincere. Hey, the world is declining and people's hearts are not old. Compared with Jia Xu, Xun Yu is a conscientious person among counselors!

She said to Xun Yu: "I think Cao Cao still loves the people under his rule. I just hope that his original heart can last longer, and don't be corrupted by the war and become an ambitious man."

Xun Yu picked up the chessboard, and upon hearing this, he replied firmly, "No."

With him here, no, even if there is a day, he will do everything in his power to prevent it!

Diao Chan nodded, expressing that she was very optimistic about Cao Cao and Xun Yu. She felt that these two "young people" would definitely achieve something in the future, so Diao Chan chuckled, and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that you are very poor and don't even have enough food. Is it winter?"

Xun Yu: "..."

Whoever said it, just know it in your heart, and what to do when you say it!My lord, don't you want to lose face? !

"It's not that we can't survive the winter, it's just that because we have taken in a lot of people, the next year's autumn harvest will be a bit more difficult."

Xun Yu's smile could hardly be maintained, and Diao Chan laughed heartily when she saw this, but she heard Diao Chan say: "I see that you have the heart to keep this side peaceful, and you still love the people. I might as well help you out."

Xun Yu showed doubts on his face, Diao Chan brought a cage, and caught the wood mouse that was eating wood and eating the ground happily. Too scared to move.

Diao Chan handed the wood mouse to Xun Yu. The wood mouse was ugly and dusty. Xun Yu hurriedly took it and found that the little thing was heavier than expected. The butt was solid and full of flesh. !

Xun Yu was at a loss for a while.

He lowered his head, and the wood mouse's peasy eyes met his line of sight, making a magical beeping sound, and the two big dies emitted white light.

Xun Yu:  …

so ugly!
