Chapter 144
In this battle, not only Cao Cao's position was consolidated, but those who questioned Guo Jia also consciously shut up.
Since Liu Xuan's birth, his name has been like thunder constantly slashing and exploding in the sky, attracting the attention of the whole world. At that time, Liu Xuan was like a bright star rising.
It once aroused the praise of countless literati.
That battle, you can imagine.
Therefore, there was a peculiar wind blowing at that time, which changed from suppressing Liu Xuan to touting, and everyone admired it. As a result, Guo Jia's light seemed much dimmer, and was even "forgotten" by Cao Cao for a time.
During that period of time, Guo Jia himself was a little skeptical of life and felt that he couldn't do it.
Later, it was Liu Xuan who took the initiative to remind Cao Cao to go to Guo Jia to discuss the major matter of unifying the north. As Liu Xuan said, Guo Jia is very capable, even without Liu Xuan's guidance, he can deal with the enemy.
One strategy after another, put it down in an orderly manner, and easily put an end to the large and small forces in the entire north. consolidated Cao Cao's rule, and forcibly added nearly 200,000 troops, which was a huge supplement to his own strength.
What Cao Cao has to do now is to make the rule of the entire north stable and reliable.
In this way, he has a strong backing.
With the spear and shield in hand, you can start planning the great cause of dominating the world.
Cao Cao was in high spirits, and as soon as he returned to Xuchang, he didn't even go to the meeting, so he ran directly to find Liu Xuan.
At this moment, Liu Xuan is ......
Cao Cao motioned to his subordinates not to disturb Liu Xuan, and he went to find it himself. When I found it, the whole person was a little suspicious of life, even if I came to Xuchang, even if I lived in such a good house.
Liu Xuan hasn't forgotten to do his old job.
In the back garden of such a good mansion, a large piece of land was opened up for planting.
Grow flowers, plants, trees, and even some exotic crops.
Although Cao Cao found Liu Xuan, he did not jump out immediately, but quietly hid in a hidden corner, and observed Liu Xuan sneakily through the gaps in the leaves. He saw with his own eyes that Liu Xuan was hoeing the ground, making himself sweaty and covered in mud without stopping.
"This Mr. Xuanyuan, when has it been, and he hasn't forgotten to plant his one-third of an acre of land!" Cao Cao was also happy.
How can there be such a person as Liu Xuan in the world?
It stands to reason that with such a good opportunity, we should start thinking about making a difference in officialdom.
Chase fame and fortune.
But he didn't do this, but he didn't go out of the door and didn't go out, and he actually planted vegetables here.
Cao Cao was relieved, but he couldn't help but spray Liu Xuan.
"Ahem!" Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and coughed lightly twice. Liu Xuan's ears were not deaf, and when he heard this voice, he turned his head and glanced back.
"Prime Minister!"
said that, Liu Xuan excitedly greeted this side and wanted to shake hands with Lao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't refuse, his face was filled with a very sunny smile, "Liu Xuan, you have a very leisurely life these days! I am fighting outside and my life is threatened all the time, but you are here without hearing anything outside the window, and you are only focused on farming."
"On the surface, it seems to be farming, but in fact, it is to share the worries of the prime minister. "
Liu Xuan is very thick-skinned.
There was no embarrassment at all.
Cao Cao silently glanced at his two broad palms, which were all covered with mud.
If you change to other heroes, I am afraid that I will be angry at this time, and I will find trouble with Liu Xuan.
But Cao Cao didn't, he just glanced at it slightly, and then silently peeled off the mud on his hands, and said
, "How do you say this?" "You are obviously growing vegetables for yourself, but you say that you will share your worries for
me?" "Yes! Prime Minister, look, what is this?" "This is shallots, this is alfalfa......"
"No, these are all grain!"
"Yes,
you are not wrong, but what does this have to do with me?" Why are
you worried about me?" Liu Xuan opened his mouth and said conclusively, "If I am not mistaken, the prime minister came here to discuss with me about the army going south to dominate the world, right?"
"Yes!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xuan with interest, as if there were some words written on his face, "Look how you make it up
!"
"Entering the army to fight, especially this kind of expedition that travels thousands of miles, the success or failure depends on two aspects!" First, the combat effectiveness of the army;
"Whether the supply can keep up is even more important than the combat effectiveness of the army.
"And what are the supplies? It's nothing more than rations!
"After a long period of research and improvement, I finally transformed some crops with strong viability, which can survive in a relatively difficult environment and mature! If it spreads and everyone can plant it, then it will be equivalent to an increase in the taxes that can be collected by the prime minister."
"Now, in the vast north, not only do the people not have to worry about starvation, but the prime minister also does not have to worry about not having enough supplies to support them! At the same time, it is equivalent to ensuring the stability of the rear. "
It can be said that many years ago, I was worried about the prime minister!" Liu
Xuan said directly, Cao Cao's heart was in trouble.
He really wants to send troops, wanting to pacify the north, dominate the world, and establish immortal feats.
But it's not an easy thing to do.
There is no room for sloppiness in marching and fighting. Because, any mistake may bring disaster to yourself.
Cao Cao has been fighting for so many years, and he has long had enough experience, and he is also very aware that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.
It's not that if the army is strong enough, it will be able to achieve victory.
Moreover, he wants to go south, it is not enough to have a strong army, but also a stable and strong rear. Obviously, Cao Cao was very entangled, because he knew that governing such a large place was more difficult than fighting.
On top of that, it can be a long process to get the supplies ready.
He had been thinking about it for a long time, and his head was so bothered that it was three times bigger.
Now after listening to Liu Xuan's words, he suddenly brightened, and his eyes were bright.
"Are these things really that amazing?"
Cao Cao knew very well how useful food was in this kind of world.
Not only can it be used to recruit troops, but also to make the people in the north follow them honestly.
"The prime minister once saw with his own eyes how terrible the potatoes I growed! Not to mention anything else, just one potato is enough to lay the foundation for the prime minister to unify the whole world!"
"These are to increase the odds of winning.
Since Liu Xuan said everything about this, Cao Cao naturally did not doubt it, and he asked again, "So, according to Mr. Xuan's estimate, how many years will it take for me to have the capital to go south?"
Liu Xuan stretched out ten fingers.
"I can't afford to wait ten years!"
"At that time, even if everything is ready, there will be no advantage! They are also developing. "
The timing is very important!
Right now is the best time to go south, because the south has not yet formed a unified power. As an expert in military affairs, Cao Cao naturally saw it very thoroughly.
Liu Xuan shook his head silently.
"Ten months!".
