Chapter 651 The War of the Merchant

In desperation, Cao Cao could only press the anger in his heart, look for merchants, and start to sell resources, coal and other materials. Although they were not mined, the foundation was there. The merchants valued it, and then gave the corresponding price. Cao Cao decided to sell it to them. As for the mining labor and so on, Cao Cao can provide However, the wages are paid by the merchants, so you can imagine how much the merchants will press the price.

Major businessmen will certainly not come forward to negotiate with Cao Cao in person, but just send some managers, otherwise it will not be cost-effective for Cao Cao to lose his life in anger.

Three coal mining sites were sold. Cao Cao calmed down a little and used the money in his hand to buy rice from merchants.

The resources extracted by the Xiliang Army are not only coal, but also the production of cement, but the production of cement is not like coal, which needs to be produced in a specific place.

Cao Cao is busy raising money, and Jia Rong is also busy. How to defeat Cao's army as quickly as possible? Once it is decided to attack Cao Cao Cao, all the officials will move. They will perform their respective duties. The soldiers, horses, food and grass and the battle plans need to be formulated in detail. Soldiers are the national event, especially Daliang. The country has just been established, and a victory will make the whole country happy.

Jingzhou has achieved a certain development in the hands of Liu Bei. There was a counselor like Zhuge Liang in his hand, but there was no mistake for a while. Liu Bei gradually found that what a clear decision it was to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain at the beginning. This counselor was not only proficient in the strategy of the battlefield, but also knew how to govern the place. Many Opinions and opinions are refreshing.

Therefore, Liu Bei's trust in Zhuge Liang is getting heavier and heavier. Liu Bei didn't look at many things and approved them directly.

However, after all, Jingzhou has experienced the previous war with Cao's army. Although it has won, the shortcomings such as the lack of combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army are also reflected, and many military power is in the hands of the generals. It seems that it is not easy for them to hand over their power. For the defense of the Cai family, Liu Bei has always attached great importance to it. Jia Rong ascended the throne and became emperor. Cai Mao's sister is one of Jia Rong's wives. Although the officials of Liang Guo do not admit what it has to do with the Cai family, people with bright eyes know that once Cai Mao chooses to turn to Liang Guo, his status is a relative of the emperor.

Liu Bei is a royal clan. In name, he is an assistant to Liu Qi. Naturally, he can't make extreme actions. The emperor of Jingzhou changed from Liu Cong to Liu Qi. It seems that the people in the world have no reaction, because all eyes are concentrated on the country of Liang. Liu Qi is a descendant of the royal family and ascending to the throne, which will not cause any disturbance, while Jia Rong is The uncommised civilians got up, and the emperor overthrew the imperial power of the Han Dynasty, which really stimulated the people of the world.

But at present, few people in the world can challenge the Xiliang Army, even merchants from all over the world, who are also unheard of, secretly support the Xiliang Army.

"Lord, now Jia Rong ascends the throne and proclaims himself as emperor, which is against God's will. The world is bound to be turbulent and life will be ruined." Zhuge Liang said earnestly. He didn't see that Jia Rong's wings were abundant. No matter what means he had, it had no effect. His military strength could not be compared with others. He had never heard that he could win by justice alone.

"Kong Ming's words are true, but the Xiliang rebels are strong, and even Cao's army has been repeatedly defeated under him, not to mention Jingzhou." Liu Bei's tone was a little unconfident. For many years, although he had not fought with the Xiliang army, he peeped at the whole leopard and asked the weapons and armor given to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be such a boutique. What's more, the general in the Xiliang army was ten times more horrible than the Cao army. When he heard that Jia Rong attacked Bingzhou, he only led five Ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the generals of Bingzhou were almost pacified. When attacking Jizhou, there were still 50,000 soldiers and horses. The troops attacking the city were far less than defending the city. What kind of concept is this? Liu Bei felt a little scared when he thought about it.

"Lord, Jingzhou is the place of the four wars. Outside, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are staring at each other. There is no danger to guard, but there is one place, which is the best place for Zhongxing Han Dynasty."

"Where?" A light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and his tone was full of eagerness.

"The country of Yizhou Tianfu is thousands of miles away, and the surrounding relevant pass can be defended. Even if the Xiliang army and soldiers visit Yizhou, they can't please them. Moreover, the land of Yizhou, the mountain roads are rugged, and it is difficult for the cavalry to exert their fighting power. In the past, Gaozu occupied Yizhou, which led to the Han Dynasty." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

"Kong Ming, Liu Yan in Yizhou is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He has governed Yizhou for many years and is conscientious. If he takes it, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed by people all over the world." Liu Beidao.

"Lord, the shore of the earth is not the king's land. Now Liu Qi is the emperor of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Yan dares not to obey, it is contrary to the fate of heaven. It is also natural for the lord to attack it. What's more, Yizhou is not so stable on the surface. It is said that Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong and does not obey Liu Yan's orders. The lord can In this name, he supported Yizhou and assisted Liu Yan to pacify Yizhou. Later, it is said that Liu Yan has been seriously ill. Soon after, Yizhou will be weak. This is a God-given opportunity. After having Yizhou and Jingzhou, it will continue to develop. When the Central Plains changes, the two sides will send troops at the same time, and it will definitely achieve miraculous results.

"Okay, between the military divisions, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are needed to attack Yizhou. Can money and food be enough?" Liu Bei said that now he is a minister in the court, but the main force in his hand is still the soldiers who followed him at the beginning. Even with the defeated soldiers who collected Cao Cao, there are only more than 20,000 people to attack Yizhou, which seems to be not enough.

Hanoi County has become a must-have place for the Xiliang army. Although the previous battle ousted Cao's army from Luyang, Cao Cao's background is still there. The army is stationed in Hanoi County, and there are many generals. For a while, Jia Rong did not attack, and now the national strength is at its peak.

Attacking Hanoi County is not a small thing. The general of Hanoi County is Xia Hou Dun, the general of the Cao army. Xia Hou Dun is a trusted general of Cao Cao, and he is also the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army. However, after the battle of Jingzhou, the tiger and leopard cavalry lost more than half of its strength, and his strength was greatly lost, and the Cao army fell into wealth in a short time. In the political crisis, the number of tigers and leopards riding has not increased.

On the court, Jia Rong sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials below. There was a surge of lofty ambition in his chest. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world was at his fingertips. These civilian generals under him had been carefully honed, and many people were independent figures outside.

"The wind and rain of Liang is smooth, the treasury is rich, and the soldiers train hard. The generals work hard to fight and expand their territory. Now I want to incorporate Hanoi County into the territory of Liangguo. I don't know which general is willing to be a pioneer?" Jia Rong said lightly.

"The last general's wish." The last wish." As soon as the words fell, several generals stood up.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "The general is willing to use his life, which is the blessing of the Liang Kingdom. I am very gratified, but the soldiers are the major event of the country. For the generals, they should know how to cherish the lives of their soldiers and not make meaningless sacrifices. Otherwise, he will not be a good general. The pioneer will fill the bridge when the mountain opens the road and the water. When fighting, it is even bigger. The pioneer of the army, the generals seized the flag and rushed to kill the enemy.

"Is General Ma confident to take on this important task?" Jia Rong turned his tone and turned his eyes to Ma Chao. After a lot of battlefield experience, Ma Chao can be said to have grown up, not the child who always loved to follow him.

"The last general will never disgrace the mission of the Holy." Ma Chao knelt down on one knee and worshipped.

"Well, General Ma can have this determination. It's very good. After going back, click the soldiers and horses and wait for the imperial edict."

"No."

"The attack on Hanoi County is very important. It is a Hanoi garrison. It is also a famous general of the Cao army, Xia Hou Dun, who commands the tiger and leopard cavalry. The tiger and leopard cavalry has the combat effectiveness that is not inferior to our army's cavalry, so it must not be despised."

"The commander-in-chief of the army is General Huang. The deputy commander-in-chief, General Jiang, worked hard and waited for the imperial edict." Jia Rongdao.

This time, the Xiliang Army moved the crowd to attack Hanoi County. Naturally, it did not escape the eyeliner of Cao's army. In fact, Hanoi County and Luoyang are too close. Even if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, the people and merchants in the city still have no sense of security. The main reason is that the Xiliang Army is too strong enough to stop. The degree of step, the world, is difficult to find out the army that can be compared with the Xiliang army, the strict military discipline, the high fighting spirit, and the prohibition. Each team can be called the name of the best soldier.

"Zilong, what do you think of attacking Hanoi County?" After the next dynasty, Jia Rong left Zhao Yun, Jia Xu and others behind.

"Sir, the soldiers of our Daliang Kingdom are all elite soldiers, 50,000 soldiers, enough to pacify Hanoi County." Zhao Yun's tone is full of self-confidence, and now Zhao Yun is a former general of Liang. Among the generals, his status can be said to be the highest.

"Well, Hanoi County is not a worry, but Cao Cao's territory is wide, and there are many soldiers. It can't be calmed down overnight." Jia Rong's tone turned and said, "Jingzhou, Yuzhou, border with our army. It's okay to attack them."

Looking at Jia Rong's smile, Zhao Yun was shocked. It turned out that Jia Rong's purpose was not to be a county in Hanoi, but Yuzhou and Jingzhou. In this way, you can predict the fate of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Jingzhou needless to say, Jingzhou has Liu Bei sitting in town. Although he has resistance, he still seems to be a little insufficient. As for the recent rumor in the world. Zhao Yun has not yet paid attention to the boiling Zhuge Liang. Under absolute strength, any conspiracy and trick is a floating cloud.

"Father-in-law, after you go back, let Chen Lin write a rebellious article and publish it to let the whole world know, but all this is aimed at Hanoi County. You must let Cao Jun feel the firmness of our army's will to attack Hanoi County."

"No." Cai Yong replied respectfully that although he was Jia Rong's father-in-law and a relative of the emperor, Cai Yong had never held his own identity in the court, and he was an official in the three provinces, with high status.
