Chapter 375
Cao Cao put a towel on his forehead and saw that the counselors were standing in front of the bed, so he was so angry that he was so angry.
I'm not dead yet, are you here to send me off?
"It's all gone, it's all gone. Fengxiao stays, everyone else goes to work."
The strategists sighed, shook their heads helplessly, and walked away.
Guo Jia sat at Cao Cao's bedside and brought medicine for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's hand: "Fengxiao, Chen Liu has been lost, Puyang has been lost, do we still have any help?"
"I remember when the lord was wanted by Dong thief, he scattered all his property and recruited soldiers. The general was only my brother, but his soldiers were only neighbors nearby. The lord never gave up. Haven't he survived the ups and downs of so many years?"
"What Fengxiao said makes sense."
"Now Lu Bu's soldiers are very good and have strong morale, so he cannot compete with them. Since the land in the Central Plains is lost, we will advance westward and enter Xichuan. The country of Tianfu has great potential. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The soil is fertile, and it will be fine to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a few years."
Cao Cao suddenly realized, yes, if the Central Plains is not good, let’s fight in Sichuan.
Didn’t Confucius say that the road is difficult to walk, so just make a boat?
Immediately, I turned over and my head no longer hurts.
"We have fewer generals, so who is better to send into Sichuan?"
"We are in a cloud of generals, not a small amount. Since Li Dian is fine, why not use it? Xiahou Dun is the main general and Jia Xu is the military advisor. Li Dian and Le Jin are the general. We lead 30,000 troops west into Xichuan. Our goal is not big, just to obtain a large amount of money, grain, and material population in the plain in the middle of the Sichuan Province. This is our goal. As for other places, there is no need to worry about it. Liu Zhang is weak and Zhang Lu is incompetent. Taking Xichuan is like taking things out of his bag."
Cao Cao laughed: "The method of filial piety is great. If you can't beat Lu Bu, you can't fight Xichuan. The wheelbarrow we invented just came in handy. Sichuan has a large population and just recruited to fight."
Cao Cao changed his clothes, tidied up his clothes, and beat drums to gather the generals.
The dongdongdongdong war drum sounded, and Cao Cao sat in the middle in neat clothes.
Generals and advisers were placed on both sides.
Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia and secretly praised him. This was so amazing. Cao Cao was lying on the bed weakly, and was about to play the suona and eat the mat. Unexpectedly, he only took a while to get out of bed.
"Cheng Yu."
"In. count the grain and grass, check the collection of autumn grain, and ensure that all autumn grain receivables are collected."
"yes."
"By the way, what happened to our sweet potatoes? What happened to the potatoes?"
"By lord, our sweet potatoes have a good harvest, about 300,000 kilograms, and I didn't eat them at all. They are all kept in the vegetable cellar and planted in the spring."
Cao Cao was very excited and finally no longer had to worry about food and grass.
Lu Bu is a man who relies on sweet potatoes. The potatoes not only allow the people of Xuzhou to eat and wear warm clothes, but also raise pigs and sheep in large quantities.
"Okay, that's great. Go down and arrange to grind noodles and pound rice, and prepare military rations for the army."
"It's the lord."
Cheng Yu went down, and he saw that he was going to prepare for a war like this. The stone mill and the mill were about to turn.
He arranged Jia Xu to recruit 50,000 troops, and arranged Xun Yu to supervise the construction of weapons, big swords, spears, bows and arrows.
It is not difficult to recruit soldiers. The hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army recruited from Qingzhou were in the military farming field, so you can just recruit them directly from Tundingli.
The people in the tun world have a hard life and have not had the last meal. Everyone is still happy to join the army. Not only can they make money or not, but at least they can eat enough.
Cao Cao was like he was injected with chicken blood, and all departments took action.
Because he was using the emperor to command the princes, Cao Cao would do everything under the name of the emperor and would fool the people.
The Central Plains has a large population and many craftsmen.
The craftsmen worked at full capacity to make all kinds of weapons to prepare for the attack on Xichuan.
Literary scholars and poets also began to find theoretical basis for their expedition to Xichuan.
There are hundreds of reasons: Xichuan is disrespectful to the emperor, does not obey orders, etc. In short, attacking Xichuan is a just war.
Who dares to say that no one is a word? But Kong Rong came out.
Kong Rong said that Liu Zhang was also the orthodox Han Dynasty and was enthroned by the emperor. You can fight if you say you want?
Kong Rong's remarks quickly reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao was angry recently.
Puyang was lost, Chen Liu was lost, Cao Hong was killed, Yu Jin surrendered, Cao Ren was injured, and Xiahou Yuan was injured.
There was no place to get evil fire, and Kong Rong hit the knife.
The whole family was killed, and the family was more than 300, and even the maids and the female soldiers were cut off.
Originally, those families with dissenting intentions of Xu Du put away their disobedient thoughts and obediently listened to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was still the same Cao Cao, who was so ruthless and killed without blinking.
Chen Liu, Puyang has always been very stable, and Cao Cao did not have the ability to counterattack.
Lu Bu arranged to transport more than 100,000 bags of cement, rebuilt the city defense, and build a new city tower.
Lu Bu made many more arrangements. Chen Gong returned to Xuzhou because there were too many government affairs to deal with, so Chen Gong was inseparable from it.
Zhuge Liang came over as the military officer Lu Bu followed the army.
Cao Xing and Liao Hua combined two troops to defend Chenliu, while Gao Shun's army guarded Puyang. Lu Su returned to Jizhou and presided over the military affairs of Jizhou.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang. The two groups raised troops and gathered together, with a total of 15,000 cavalrymen, one man and two horses, and rushed to the north.
The heat of the autumn tiger has completely subsided, and the autumn air is clear and cool, just marching.
More than 120 miles a day.
Pass through Jizhou and go directly to Jizhou.
Green wheat seedlings are everywhere outside Jizhou City. With the promotion of horse farming, Youzhou's farming technology has also been greatly improved.
After autumn harvest, plant winter wheat, and after summer harvest, plant a season of corn.
Originally, the fertility of the land could not withstand such cultivation and needed fallow.
However, the cattle, sheep and livestock that Xuzhou has been vigorously promoting in recent years have developed more rapidly in Youzhou.
The local large tribes in Jizhou raise cattle, and there are many horse herds.
Other states prohibit killing cattle, with Youzhou exceptions.
The cattle raised here, especially those grazed by the Huns, are in a semi-wild state and have no possibility of training, so it is allowed to be killed to make beef jerky.
Usually, when it snowed, groups of cattle, sheep and animals died of starvation. But now they have a cattle and shed built with blue bricks that can shelter from wind and rain, as well as a large amount of corn stalks and corn.
Livestock such as horses, cattle and sheep are very resistant to rough feed, corn stalks, wheat straw, and a small amount of corn particles. This is the best feed. If you eat enough, you can resist the severe cold, so that you can survive the winter safely.
Chunyu Qiong went out of the city to welcome the army and dismounted from afar.
"Chunyu Qiong meets the lord."
Speaking of which, Chunyu Qiong and Lu Bu fought several times, but Lu Bu was very good at him. He was the leader and led the army to seven or eight thousand troops.
"General Chun is exempted from gifts, and the food in the military farm has been collected?"
