Both of them had a look of fear in their eyes. They said goodbye that day, and Yuan Shao actually had a battle with Karasuma. In this battle, all his soldiers exchanged 100,000 soldiers for Karasuma's 120,000 soldiers!
Unexpectedly, not long after, news came out that he had relapsed from an old illness and passed away.
And without Yuan Shao, Karasuma's next target will be Youzhou.
Although the Gongsun family has been fighting against foreign tribes, most of the White Horse Yi Cong in their hands have been lost, and the Yanmen Pass has been opened wide.
They were not worried about the Karasuma alien race in western Liaoning, but they were worried that the Karasuma might bring in other alien races.
"In the past few days, be sure to pay attention to the surrounding intelligence. The number of scouts will be tripled!"
Gongsun Zan was extremely familiar with Karasuma's plan.
After Xia Houyuan and Xia Houen arrived at Haocheng, the administrative seat of Jizhou, they also did not miss the progress of the farming system.
Moreover, the land in Jizhou is fertile, so the cost of implementing Tuantianzhi is lower and more blood. Although Cao Cao is not particularly scarce in food, in these troubled times, food and grass are as good as gold, so he naturally needs to collect food.
Granaries began to be built in various local government offices to store food. If we encounter a strong enemy, there will be no shortage of food even if the city is closed for several months.
Under Zhao Feng's suggestion, the soldiers gradually moved closer to Jizhou, because Karasuma would definitely attack Youzhou next, and everyone knew Karasuma's next plan.
However, it was obvious that Zhao Feng was not one to sit still and wait for death. He had immediately started to take charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard.
After all, Karasuma is a foreigner and must be dealt with first.
If Yanmen Pass is really put in their hands, I don’t know what changes will happen in the future.
Cao Cao was also a little anxious. He didn't need to seize the land of Bingzhou, but he must find a way to control Hulao Pass.
"Military advisor, it's hard to predict the strength of Karasuma's troops now. How can we capture Bingzhou?"
Karasuma's base camp is far away in western Liaoning, and even Tongque couldn't figure out their reality for a while.
Although there are still many old generals of Yuan Shao under Yuan Tan in Bingzhou, there are only a few Tongque among them.
And now Yuan Tan is just Karasuma's puppet, and Tongque can't get much information.
Zhao Feng smiled and didn't take Karasuma seriously.
"It's just a black pill, the lord can destroy it with his troops!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding generals showed surprise. The military advisor actually ignored Karasuma?
Zhao Feng said calmly: "The troops in Karasuma's hands are only 300,000. In the battle with Yuan Shao, more than 100,000 people were lost. Now, the number in hand is only 200,000 at most!"
After Zhao Feng's analysis, everyone showed doubts about this. Karasuma still has 200,000 troops. According to common sense, Cao Cao can indeed win with his current troops, but I'm afraid things are not that simple.
"Military advisor, are you planning to attack by force?"
"I'll be the pioneer!" At this time, Dian Wei's deep voice came.
There are also many people who are thinking deeply that this is obviously not what the military advisor meant.
Zhao Feng continued: "Since Karasuma can be destroyed with a snap of his finger, what if it's not just the Karasuma clan?"
As soon as these words are said, it makes people think deeply. What if under Karasuma's instigation, other alien races also come?
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. In this case, this Karasuma might be really difficult to solve.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and asked, "Commander, what do you mean?"
Everyone also gathered their gazes and saw Zhao Feng saying calmly: "Stop calmly. As long as they attack Youzhou, we can send troops to attack Bingzhou and surround Wei to save Zhao!"
The others looked at each other and nodded. At this moment, that was all they could do.
Then Zhao Feng looked at Cao Cao and continued: "We cannot waste this time."
Nowadays, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Youzhou are all in Cao Cao's hands. The north is also short of the final merging of states and the two states can be unified. Although it seems to have the land of six states, the territory is not that big.
"Although we are not particularly scarce in terms of money nowadays, we cannot ignore it in terms of domestic affairs."
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and couldn't help but ask: "Military advisor, what do you mean?"
In Cao Cao's view, the internal affairs system of the six states is now very perfect, and there is not much room for development at all.
Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The Chamber of Commerce, integrate all the chambers of commerce in the six states and implement a complete monopoly!"
Although the most powerful one now is still the Zhen family, the main sources of income are still Xueyan and Laobaigan.
However, the income of other chambers of commerce cannot be underestimated. After all, chambers of commerce focus on diversification, so naturally they have all kinds of products.
This step is just to collect money. The money consumed by the war is extremely terrifying. The income brought by Xue Yan and Lao Baigan is no longer enough for Cao Cao to spend.
"At the same time, the scale of the Chenliu steelmaking plant will also need to be increased again."
The current military strength has long exceeded that of the original, and the originally sufficient steel mills can no longer supply it. Although under Xi Zhicai's arrangement, the internal affairs of various places have developed smoothly, the details still need to be changed.
The two talked a lot and obviously understood the four words, expand the scale!
Zhao Feng knew that every elite unit was supported by money. The emergence of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard obviously cost a lot of money.
There is no need to say much about the farming system. The mature system does not even need to be promoted, and people have actively participated in it.
This system, which had been put aside since the Western Han Dynasty, was perfected by Zhao Feng and was imitated by all the princes in the world.
Coupled with the emergence of sweet potatoes, not only was food abundant, but food reserves also increased a lot.
Although Cao Cao has been fighting wars during this period, his development has never fallen behind.
The next day, there was no big abnormality in Bingzhou, and Zhao Feng did not waste this time. Looking at Zhao Feng who came, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "What else does the military advisor propose?"
Cao Cao naturally knew that if there was nothing wrong, he would never take the initiative to come.
Zhao Feng placed the letter in his hand on Cao Cao's desk. Obviously, what he wanted to say had already been written in the letter.
Cao Cao looked up, opened the letter, and read it carefully.
However, a strange color soon appeared in his eyes.
"Recruitment order?"
As Cao Cao expressed doubts, his eyes began to shine.
The content of this obviously made him appreciate it very much. The more he looked at Zhao Feng, the brighter the light in Cao Cao's eyes.
Zhao Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the recruitment order. Although there are many talents in our army now, who would dislike having so many talents in our hands?"
"Now that we occupy six states, there must be many talents that we have not yet recruited."
Seeing Zhao Feng's suggestion, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
"The military advisor does not care about loyalty and future, but only about talents. This makes me a little surprised."
Regarding these words, Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Even Yunchang was running around because he committed a murder in his early years. Naturally, we cannot let such a talent go for these reasons."
