In fact, when Zhao Yu first came to this era, his first choice was Cao Mengde, which was not for no reason to like him.

In the original history, although Cao Wei did not exist for a long time, it left many precious wealth for later generations.

In history that has never been changed, during the period when Cao Mengde was in charge of the Central Plains and the northern land, he made great achievements in water conservancy projects alone. He built a waterway from the Yellow River to Youzhou, which is the prototype of the northern section of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. He reopened the abandoned Langtang Canal, namely the Honggou, and the Jiangou in Jianghuai. The Honggou is an extremely important waterway in the Central Plains, while the Jiangou is the prototype of the southern section of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou.

It is said that Emperor Yang of Sui made great contributions to building the canal for thousands of years, but who knows that the prototype of this canal was formed during the Cao Wei period?!

What great contributions did these canals and water conservancy canals have made to this nation?!

In comparison, whether it was Liu Bei of Shu Han or Sun Quan of Jiangdong, what did they do? What did they leave for future generations?

This is why before the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms distorted and confused people's ideas, the dynasties after Cao Wei generally regarded Cao Wei as orthodox.

There is nothing else, because Cao Mengde is planning for the world. And the other two companies, hehe...

Take Shu Han for example. When Liu Bei entered Shu, the population in Shu was not low. Although the war was full of fire, after the establishment of Shu Han, Shu often took the initiative to attack the northern expedition, and the war rarely affected Shu. However, with people like Zhuge Liang, why did the population of Shu Han decrease significantly in the later period? This is not something that can be explained by a word "war".

The war did not affect the Shu Han local area, and the number of soldiers killed in Shu Han in many wars is also documented. In addition, the population growth has increased, but the total population of Shu Han decreased significantly. You should know that in the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the most affected was the territory of Cao Wei. Whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that hundreds of millions of people were affected, or the countless wars between the princes of various families later fought for the Central Plains - the Central Plains was the most affected area.

Jiangdong is also exactly the same as Shu Han.

However, when the three families returned to Jin, most of the population was concentrated in the Central Plains. Shu Han and Eastern Wu were in disgrace.

They had never considered people's livelihood at all. Zhuge Liang, who was so swearing, was still persevering in the northern expeditions while Shu Han continued to decline, which shows that he was not a person who would make plans for the whole world.

With one word to support the Han Dynasty, the wealthy land of Shu Han that was never affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion was turned into that way. Zhuge Liang's reputation was not worthy of it.

Of course, this is Zhao Yu's family's opinion, so he thinks.

So when he arrived at this era, he tended to Cao Mengde instead of Liu Bei, who was known for his "benevolence and righteousness".

Now, what Cao Mengde did has not disappointed Zhao Yu.

Even when fighting against the outside world, Cao Mengde did not forget to do what he should do for the people on this land, which is really not easy.

Now that Cao Mengde defeated Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan will not be his opponent. There are no rivals in the entire Central Plains and the northern land. It can be said that he is full of wings. By the time the newly incorporated Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou have been stable, and for up to five years, the other princes will be the meat on the chopping board and will be slaughtered.

"It doesn't take five years, three years are enough."

Cao Mengde said with great enthusiasm: "It only takes three years for me to completely stabilize the three northern states, and I will defeat the Xiongnu in these three years, and the Xianbei in the North will redefine Bingzhou. In this way, You, Ji, Bing, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, and Sili will be connected into one piece. Half of the country will be in my hands."

He looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Liangzhou can't run away. Ma Teng, Han Sui, native chickens and tiles. I have Lu Bu and Sun Ce, and I can eliminate the disasters in Liangzhou in just one or two years and suppress the Qiang and the rebellion."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be happy for him: "In this way, only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou will be left."

After a pause, Zhao Yu said, "As for Zhang Lu, Hanzhong..."

Cao Mengde said: "Zhang Lu is a little worried. What's more, he wants to take Hanzhong, but the soldiers are not bloody."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think of the Hujia Village outside Baoxiaodao when he went to Hanzhong.

But Cao Mengde said, "Zhang Lu is based in Hanzhong with the Five Doks of Rice. The Five Doks of Rice is the Huang Lao Dao faction. I returned from the north yesterday. Wen Ruo said that a Hanzhong envoy wanted to see me, and he was strode in his words to find out the news of Mr. In my opinion, if only a word from Mr. Zhang Lu would not give up Hanzhong?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yu thought to himself that he hadn't expected it.

"Yes, Zhang Lu is also a Taoist."

Zhao Yu laughed: "I was negligent for a moment, but I didn't expect it. By the way, I remember that Old Taoist Zuo Ci once told me Zhang Lu."

"What does sir mean?" Cao Mengde was looking forward to it.

Due to the terrain in Hanzhong, it is really hard to fight. If you can fight without bloodshed, it will be the most in line with Cao Mengde's wishes.

Anyway, if you have the chance, Cao Mengde will not take the blame. Since Zhang Lu is a Taoist priest and Zhao Yu is in front of him, he will bow to him without accepting his head?!

Zhao Yu said: "It's possible."

He said: "However, Hanzhong is not Hanzhong of Zhang Lu's family. Even if he is willing to surrender, can his civil and military officials be willing to surrender? If something goes wrong, causing chaos in Hanzhong and destroying people's livelihood, it is probably not what you are willing to see."

Cao Mengde nodded: "What sir said is not bad. I have also considered it with Wen Ruo and others. There have been aristocratic families in Hanzhong who secretly contacted me, but there are also stubborn people who are not. Zhang Luruo is willing to surrender, but these people are unwilling to surrender, so Hanzhong will be in chaos. Gongda their meaning is to fight first, discount the backbone of these people and then surrender, which can avoid hidden dangers to the greatest extent."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "This is a serious and steadfast. Let's do this. I'll ask the old Taoist Zixu to go there personally. He is the leader of the Taoist school in Shuzhong and is similar to Zhang Lu. With the old Taoist Zixu coming forward, he is not afraid that Zhang Lu will not be willing to give up his power. First let Zhang Lu stabilize Hanzhong, and then let his stubborn people lead troops to fight. You just need to hold him back, and Zhang Lu can let go of his hands and feet, so that he can get what he wants."

Cao Mengde smiled happily: "I sent troops from both sides, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, attacking the eastern part of Hanzhong..."

The two were talking at the right time, and Guan Hai flew to report: "The boss, Mr. Cao, and Mr. Wenruo are here."

Zhao Yu and Cao Mengde were slightly stunned, and Zhao Yu said, "Go and invite Wen Ruo over."

Guan Hai responded and turned around and ran away.

Zhao Yu said to Cao Mengde: "Wen Ruo comes in person, is there something wrong?"

Cao Mengde thought about it and had a slight understanding in his expression: "There may be changes in the north."

After a moment, Xun Yu walked quickly: "Lord, Mr. Zhao!"
