Goguryeo was afraid of Cao Mengde's military attack, so she did not dare to accept Yuan Shao. So she killed him, trying to calm Cao Mengde's murderous aura. However, her cleverness was mistaken and she was self-defeating.

Although Cao Mengde was an enemy of Yuan Shao, he was also a friend who had been playing with since childhood. Cao Mengde could kill Yuan Shao, but he did not want to see Yuan Shao being killed by Goguryeo, a small country in Chuoer. When he learned that Yuan Shao was killed, Cao Mengde was so sad that he immediately ordered the attack on Goguryeo.

The north is extremely cold after winter.

However, all the soldiers under Cao Mengde's command have practiced the Five Elements Boxing Classic for several years. Any one of them is a good player to strengthen external divine power. In addition, Cao Mengde does not lack food and supplies, and keeping warm is not a problem. Therefore, there is no big problem in the war in the north in winter.

This year, Cao Mengde used a large army of 70,000. After occupying Youzhou, the army was divided into three, attacking Goguryeo from Liaodong, and out of Shanggu, attacking Wuwan and Xianbei. Finally, they headed west and rushed to Yanmen in Bingzhou.

According to Cao Mengde's intention, these three armies will earn him enough 100,000 strong laborers before the beginning of spring, provide assistance to the construction of the coming year, and complete the strategy for Bingzhou.

To establish a dynasty, war is just a means. It is easy to conquer the world and difficult to seize the world. Whether it is Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, or the barbarians in the north, it is not a problem. It took only one year to achieve the strategic goal. However, after the war, what you have to face is the top priority.

Restoring the people's livelihoods in Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even the four states that are about to be guided by Bingzhou is the biggest problem.

In addition to Bingzhou, even Youzhou in the northern border was affected. Especially in Jizhou, Qingzhou, was still a severely affected area. After more than ten years, wars have continued, and bandits and frequent natural disasters have occurred in various places. As one of the most prosperous areas of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Qingzhou were covered with bruises.

To restore to its peak, I don’t know how Cao Mengde will work hard.

To have ambition, one must have corresponding talents to carry it and be mentally prepared to put in all your energy.

Especially those who plan for the world will not only focus on the present, but also on the future. Cao Mengde needs to do more and more.

The complexity of humanity is fully reflected here. Sometimes Zhao Yu felt that it was such a wise decision that he had chosen Cao Mengde instead of ending in person. Some people say that as a leader, you only need to grasp the direction.

Yet that said, is it actually so?

Absolutely not.

A force is composed of countless people, each person has different ideas and behaviors. As a leader, not only should he guide the direction, but more energy is actually focused on the personnel and affairs of his subordinates. It is the top priority to balance and stabilize the internal situation of the power.

A hand-blank manager is seeking death.

He could not say that he was under silence in three to five years, and his government orders were not taken ten steps, and his subordinates were disobedient and then overthrew. All his previous efforts were wasted.

There are tens of thousands of feet in the world of mankind, and at least five thousand feet are all here.

As a bystander, Zhao Yu could see clearly. From Cao Mengde, everything was becoming clearer and clearer.

This is how the fourth year of Jian'an has arrived.

In April of spring, a large number of prisoners were escorted south and then diverted to various places to contribute to this new and huge force. Among these prisoners were the Wuwan people, the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu, and the Goguryeo people.

Among these four components, Wuhuan had already perished. His royal court was wiped out by Cao's army, and the remaining troops retreated to the north and were then swallowed by the Xianbei.

As for the Xianbei, they suffered heavy losses. Their Gaoliu royal court had to move and retreat under the command of Cao's army, otherwise they would be defeated and destroyed like Wuhuan. Moreover, the forces of the Xianbei in the eastern region were reduced by 80% in this battle and had to merge with the Xianbei in the central region.

The Goguryeo Kingdom was destroyed and the king was captured.

The Southern Xiongnu, who had almost the same fate as Wuhuan, had Yu Meiji's Xiongnu royal court also defeated in a battle.

In foreign wars, Cao Mengde used the tactics to support the war by fighting. That is to say, the army's supply was carried out in the war. There were only 70,000 troops in total, so the logistical pressure was not great. The gains were huge.

Cao Mengde originally thought that it would be enough for a hundred thousand strong labor for the time being, but by June, the prisoners who were escorting southwards had exceeded 300,000.

This is just a strong labor force. Women and children do not count.

As for women and children, the number is more than twice that of strong labor, with more than 400,000. The more than 400,000 women and children were selected to reward the soldiers under their command. The rest were diverted to Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, and a small part was moved to Guanzhong. For this reason, Cao Mengde issued a decree to sell them to the people under his command at a low price in the situation of selling.

The labor force is diverted to various local projects, or to build roads and cities, or to dig canals.

In short, in order to resettle prisoners, Cao Mengde and his ministers were busy without touching the ground.

In addition to population, the wealth of war also has a large number of livestock. Whether it is the Wuwan, Xianbei, or the Xiongnu, they are all nomadic peoples. Most of their wealth is concentrated on livestock. Therefore, in addition to capturing nearly one million people, the livestock they plunder is as high as millions.

In order to transport livestock, Cao Mengde issued several decrees, mainly the official, and mobilized the merchants under his rule to turn the Youzhou border into a huge livestock market.

Once this batch of livestock is used on the ground, it is unimaginable for the Cao regime to benefit the great extent of the benefits. Whether it is farming or eating.

When Cao Mengde was busy and was about to take time to breathe, when the young emperor Liu Xie was lonely in the deep palace, and when this land entered a hot construction stage, just as autumn came, Zhao Yu's machine speed slowly landed in Cao's mansion in Puyang.

Cao Mengde was summoning his civil and military officials to discuss major events. He heard that Zhao Yu had arrived and did not dare to neglect him. He immediately took a group of civil and military officials out of the hall and came to greet him.

Zhao Yu's motor vehicle is still the same as before, and the appearance has not changed because Zhao Yu feels it doesn't matter.

The machine car landed, stirring up a slight dust, and then the car door opened, Zhao Yu'e Guanbo led the way out first.

Then Zhaoji, Mi Zhen, Xiao Qiao and Sun Ren all wore heroic and neat looks, and followed them out.

Normally, Zhaoji, Mi Zhen and Xiao Qiao's home clothes are mainly loose and gorgeous. Now, like Sun Ren, they wear clean and neat clothes, but they have a unique temperament.

Cao Mengde stepped forward, laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, how can you always be good?"

Zhao Yu laughed: "Okay, why should you be polite between you and me? I am Jingji Sixing and plan to come out for a walk."
