Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

"Are your army's requirements a little harsh?"

Tuoba really gritted his teeth and said: "I Xianbei can still make up 30,000 war horses, but I really can't get 60,000 young and strong labor.55

"If your army insists on doing this, I, Xianbei, would rather fight to the death!"

Tuoba Zhen is also playing drums in his heart, he is trying to bet!

If they make concessions, although they can't meet expectations, they can finally make a fortune.

Now that the great Han princes are rising together, he is betting that Cao Cao will never attack Xianbei in the north because of this incident.

Xianbei is remote and requires too many troops and funds to go north.

Tuoba Zhenqi's eyes rolled slightly, but he knew that Cao Jun had just destroyed Yuan Shao and Wuhuan again.

The current Cao Jun should not have much troops and money.

Tuoba is really taking his life to lower the price.

Zhang Liao, who was on the side, was furious when he heard the words: "Fight to the death, okay, I will fight to the death with you! 35

"Is it true that someone can't be destroyed, can't you?"

These words made Tuoba Zhen shudder and his face turned pale.

The other party's tough attitude made him despair.

Cao Yang smiled indifferently and let Zhang Liao reprimand.

Even a small Xianbei dared to sit on the ground and raise prices, and now their troops and money are fully capable of fighting again.

They also underestimate the power of the Quyuan Plough, not to mention that with the per-mu yield of sweet potatoes, even the people in the six states still have no shortage of food at all.

At the same time, the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce also integrated the crazy money-making in the six states.

Looking at Tuoba Zhen's appearance, Cao Yang said calmly.

"Come on, drag Tuoba Zhen out and behead it, and send troops to the north tomorrow!"

This statement directly made Tuoba Zhen's face turn pale with fright, and he shouted quickly.

"Sixty thousand young men, I Xianbei really can't come up with it.

"The young men in my clan are all in the army. Earlier, General Zhang Liao smashed our army, causing countless casualties. Now, where can we get 60,000 young men!"

Hearing this, Cao Yang raised his brows and finally said: "Then I will change the conditions, 60,000 warhorses and 20,000 young and strong laborers.

"This condition is considered generous. If there are no people, there must be livestock, right?"

"If you can't meet such conditions, then wait for my army to go north. 55

With a big wave of his hand, Cao Yang tried to test the conditions once, and now that he has found out the truth, the price is naturally open.

Tuoba Zhen heard the words, blood was dripping in his heart.

This is simply killing him!

But after glancing at the murderous Zhang Liao and Cao Yang, who had no room for negotiation, he had no choice but to agree.

Then, soon, Tuoba Zhen was taken out by Zhang Liao and went all the way to Xianbei for handover.

At the same time, Cao Yang left a letter of reconciliation in his hand.

This letter was about seeking peace, but it was actually a letter of surrender under the supervision of Cao Yang and Zhang Liao.

In the days that followed, Cao Yang handled affairs at the border, waiting for Zhang He and Zhang Liao to settle down after the war.

20,000 young Xianbei young men as slaves can greatly make up for the loss of Bingzhou's labor force.

After the recovery of Bingzhou, the gate of Yanmen Pass was sealed again, completely cutting off the thoughts of foreign races wanting to attack.

At the same time, the news of this battle was inquired by the scouts around Cao Jun, which shocked the surrounding princes.

Wuhuan was able to occupy the northern part of Youzhou, and had been harassing Youzhou for several years, and even Gongsun Zan was not able to kill them all in one fell swoop.

Now that it was destroyed by Cao Cao in one fell swoop, the surrounding princes were not surprised.

The more important point is not these, but Cao Cao has just fought Yuan Shao. He should have been short of troops and lack of resources, but he still directly exterminates the Wuhuan.

The news of Cao Cao's victory made the surrounding Lv Bu and Zhang Xiu completely cut off the idea of ​​being an enemy of Cao Cao.

Although he now holds the land of the six states in his hand, his troops and population are not in short supply.

Sizhou, the territory of Lu Bu.

Although Zhang Yang voluntarily ceded the territory to Lu Bu, under the management of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, the scarce population in this state still did not improve.

The land of Sizhou, after experiencing the Dong Zhuo Rebellion in Luoyang and the Guo Si Rebellion under Jia Xu's poisonous scheme, has long been desolate and desolate.

How could Lu Bu and his subordinates not know about this.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Gong took the risk and thought of taking a piece of the pie from Cao Cao, but unfortunately he underestimated Cao Jun too much.

"Gongtai, today's grain production capacity in this state limits our development.

Lu Bu frowned and said to Chen Gong, who was on the side.

Today, Sizhou's food, even if he sends Lu Bu a hundred thousand troops, he can't support it.

"And since Sizhou is close to Cao Cao's territory, we simply don't have any room to play.

Disaster!

Lu Bu's face was not good-looking.

If he attacked other prefectures, Cao Cao would certainly not ignore it.

"With Cao Mengde's temperament, the next one will definitely attack our Sizhou.""

Chen Gong was an old friend of Cao Cao and was very familiar with his nature.

He closed his eyes and thought a little.

Now that Cao Cao has recaptured Bingzhou, only Sizhou and Liangzhou are left in the north.

If Cao Cao intends to unify the north, then Cao Cao will definitely attack Sizhou with his army westward.

But now Lü Bu's forces wanted to stop Cao Cao's attack, and they were just like chariots, vulnerable to a single blow.

Lu Bu's expression showed a hint of worry.

"Master, what should we do next?"

With hundreds of thousands of troops under Cao Cao, now is not the time to be brave.

How can he stand against the opponent's hundreds of thousands of soldiers by himself?

Chen Gong let out a breath of turbid air, looked at Lu Bu and said.

"Leave Sizhou!

Lu Bu's face showed a hint of shock, and he said angrily.

"This is the Sizhou that Brother Zhang Yang gave me, how can I give it away? 99

For this, Chen Gong was also very helpless, how could he not know this?

He shook his head, revealing a hint of complexity.

"Sizhou lacks population and land, and it is of no use for us to stick to this place."

The fact that Lu Bu was able to occupy this Sizhou for so long was not because the other princes did not intend to attack.

But occupying such a large piece of land, but without population, cultivated land, does not bring any meaning at all.

If you want to use this land, I am afraid it will cost people and money, and this transaction is obviously not cost-effective.

Hearing Chen Gong say this, Lu Bu also fell silent.

On the contrary, Zhang Yang on one side showed a thoughtful look.

"Brother Gongtai, what do you mean?"

Since Chen Gong said so, it is obvious that he has already thought about the countermeasures in the future.

Sure enough, Chen Gong nodded, and there was a glint in his eyes.

"Dedicate Sizhou to Cao Cao!

"Let's go south and attack Zhangxiu in Nanyang!"

The two of them both showed shock, and fell silent one after another, pondering carefully.

Nanyang has fertile land, abundant population, and its position in the central fortress of the world.

If it is said that it has occupied this place and developed it, it will not be like Sizhou's inability to use its hands because of money and food.

Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully.

"I think it works!"

Zhang Yang on the side did not have any opinion and nodded.

"I also think Gongtai brother is right!

Chen Gong nodded with a smile.

"At that time, if Cao Cao accepts Sizhou, he will inevitably be stymied by the lack of population and barren land in Sizhou."

"At that time, we will attack Nanyang without worry! 99

"........."

...(bafe)..

At this moment, among the Xu capitals, Cao Yang returned with Xianbei's letter of reconciliation.

"My lord, the strategist is back!"

As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao showed a look of joy, and now the troubles of Wuhuan in Bingzhou have been wiped out.

If all of these six states can be developed, with the production capacity of sweet potatoes and the influence of the field system, the territory is really harmless to Cao Cao.

"Hahaha, Sergeant, you are finally back!"

Cao Cao showed his joy and came out to greet Cao Yang in person.

He stared at Cao Yang in front of him, and there was a complex look in his eyes, but he still didn't show it, leaving only a smile outside.

The surrounding soldiers have long been surprised by this scene, and only Cao Yang in the entire Cao army can get this kind of treatment.

Ordinary people are even more envious.

And Cao Yang showed a smile.

"My lord, there is an unexpected joy in this trip to the northern expedition of Wuhuan. 35

As soon as he heard the news, Cao Cao immediately showed a very interesting look.

What other surprises can the Northern Expedition Karasuma have?

He immediately asked.

"Dare to ask the strategist, what is the unexpected joy?

Cao Yang showed a smile, took out the letter of reconciliation in his hand, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Looking at this letter, Cao Cao showed curiosity and took it over to read it carefully.

After a while, Cao Cao laughed.

"Hahaha, strategist, this trip even caught the leader of Xianbei?

"There are still 60,000 war horses and 20,000 slaves.

“At present, there is a shortage of labor in Bingzhou, which can be dispatched to Bingzhou to make up for the shortage of labor.35

In fact, compared to these, these 60,000 war horses are the ones that make Cao Cao act even more.

In today's world, war horses are like gold, and the most important problem in building a cavalry army is that there are not enough war horses.

"According to what is written in the book of reconciliation, won't my Cao Jun no longer worry about horses?"

Cao Yang smiled and shook his head.

"How can you not think so, it is obviously impossible to give us 60,000 horses every year.

"The current Xianbei leaders are just temporarily taking control of the Xianbei situation."

"There is no influence in Xianbei, and it is useless to kill, it is better to exchange materials.

This Tuoba Zhen was probably just a patriarch of the Tuoba clan, who was elected to the throne. Just after a few words, Cao Yang could already see that this person would not be sitting on the throne for long.

Cao Cao also nodded, with the Xianbei's dispositions, it was a miracle that this book of reconciliation could last for a year.

What's more, Xianbei will definitely change to a new king soon.

But for this harvest, Cao Cao is also extremely satisfied.

60,000 war horses, a huge sum of money for a man with scarce horse resources.

Then Cao Cao showed a smile.

"Since Bingzhou has become a fixed number, we should go west to Sizhou!"

In fact, Cao Cao was able to take down this state at will, but was rejected by Cao Yang.

Since Sizhou is sparsely populated, it might be better to leave it to Lu Bu to take care of it, and then send troops westward.

Although the population of Sizhou has not grown much today, it has been much better than before.

Cao Yang nodded with a smile on his face. With the strength of Sizhou Lu Bu, he didn't need to say more.

"However, lord, if you want to win Sizhou, you don't have to be so eager. 35

Cao Cao's face was puzzled, what was the point of taking down this Sizhou.

"Master, what do you mean?

Cao Yang said indifferently.

"The army should be rehabilitated, and at the same time, soldiers should be recruited again in various places.

"Bingzhou also allowed those slaves to develop and cultivate the land.

After hearing this, Cao Cao showed doubts.

With his current strength, he doesn't need a rest if he wants to mobilize his troops, but after thinking about it carefully, he came up with the reason.

"Master, are you trying to confuse other princes?

Cao Yang nodded with a smile.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

At the beginning, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan could understand the truth, and it was impossible for other princes to be vigilant.

Now that Cao Jun is so powerful, if he shows his terrifying strength again.

Then all the princes in the world will all join forces to fight against Cao Cao!

Cao Yang's consideration can be described as thoughtful, and he will take over the world when Nasizhou and Liangzhou are a foregone conclusion.

Hearing about Cao Yang, Cao Cao also nodded and instantly understood.

Because the great power will inevitably arouse the uneasiness of other princes in the world, it is obviously insufficient to fight against the world with Cao Cao's troops.

At this point, Cao Cao did not struggle.

In this case, why not put away the edge and polish it carefully?

Then he showed a smile.

"Then these 60,000 war horses have returned, so can't I expect the military division to build a strong cavalry force for me?

Cao Yang showed a small smile.

"Of course, what the cavalry lacked was never soldiers, but horses.

"Now that Xianbei has offered 60,000 horses, the cavalry will naturally come naturally!

Hearing this, Cao Cao showed a hint of anticipation.

At any time, the cavalry is a big killer in war. If it really owns 70,000 warhorses, then the future westward expedition to Xiliang will not be too weak.
