468 Cao Cao is depressed 2
Xun Yu's words once again stunned Cao Cao and his civil and military officials. In the past, he heard that Bingzhou was rich, but he had not taken it seriously. Now, it was said by Xun Yu, so the weight was different. What is the difference between this and the paradise on earth?
Cheng Yu asked in surprise: "Wenruo, it took only ten years for Big Bear to manage Bingzhou. How could he be so rich? Isn't this a myth? What exactly is he doing? If this is true, then we scholars who are well-read, are not as good as a Murano man who doesn't know much about it."
Xun You said: "You can't say that. Big Bear is illiterate, but he also has many talented scholars under his command, especially Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, etc., aren't they all there? Besides, Big Bear is also a capable hero, otherwise there wouldn't be so many talents willing to work for him. This shows that Big Bear has extraordinary features, at least he can make his subordinates play a role, and have talent to know people, etc."
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "What's the difference between the big bear on the surface? It's no different from an ordinary person. He is dressed in a unique style and casual manner. In public, he wears casual clothes or strange clothes. Under his influence, his civil and military officials did not wear court clothes, but all wore strange clothes."
Xu You said: "Wenruo, Big Xiong and others don't have court uniforms. Isn't that nonsense? Can the great scholars of the times, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi, also don't have court uniforms?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Even if Big Bear is not wearing it, especially Big Bear, the emperor has no respect at all. He calls the emperor a little shit child. The emperor is nothing in their eyes. They only admit that he is a Han ethnic group. Big Bear's current actions are no different from being independent and becoming king. He is not calling the world how people evaluate him, nor how outsiders scold him. He still does his own way as before. Of course, the policies and laws he implemented in Bingzhou cannot work for us, and can only be implemented in him."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Wenruo, what policies should Big Bear implement? Why can't we implement them?"
Xun Yu replied seriously: "My lord, Big Bear is a poor man and has never studied. His foundation is ordinary people. The series of policies and regulations formulated are all considered first of all the interests of ordinary people. The lord's economic foundation mainly relies on the big clan. Once the policies and laws of Big Bear and others are implemented, it will definitely harm the interests of the big clan. This is not a good thing for the lord. If the support of the big clan is lost, then our economy will have big problems and our money and food will not be solved."
After listening for a long time, Cao Hong didn't understand anything, so he had to say, "You have been talking for a long time. Where is the Big Bear going to attack? How should we defend?"
Xun You thought for a while and said, "Lord, since Big Bear wants to capture Luoyang and Yongzhou, we will send envoys to Ma Teng and Zhang and Lu to tell them that once Big Bear occupy Yongzhou, their territory will be attacked by Big Bear Iron Cavalry. We will promote them to official positions with the reputation of the court and assign Chang'an to Ma Teng. This will induce them to advance to Yongzhou, and also give some resistance to Big Bear, consume Big Bear's strength, and win time for our army to develop."
Cheng Yu said: "Lord, it is best to lure Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Yuan Shu from Shouchun from Shouchun to attack Wancheng at the same time. In this way, Daxiong's troops will definitely be tight, which will relieve the pressure on our army."
After hearing this, Man Chong said, "Lord, is it possible to instigate the civil servants or generals who lead troops under Daxiong? If it succeeds, the blow to Daxiong will be very huge."
After hearing this, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "There is basically no possibility. The civil and military officials under Daxiong have very high salaries. What kind of treatment can we give? Besides, even if it succeeds and makes Daxiong angry, it will be irrelevant to any consequences. The army is coming to us. Can our army resist Daxiong's attack now?"
Cao Cao thought for a long time and finally said: "Immediately informed Yu Jin and Liu Yan of Puyang City to guard Puyang City carefully, strictly prevent the raid of Zhang He's army under Daxiong, and increase some troops to Puyang. Quick horses informed Zixiao of Qingzhou to let him guard Qingzhou, the focus was on Beihai and Le'an. At the same time, told all soldiers that if the Big Bear army did not invade us, they must not fight with the Big Bear army, and they must not take the initiative to attack. Of course, if the Big Bear army takes action first, our army cannot sit and wait for death, and they still have to fight back."
Cao Ang said: "What should I do if the Miaocai in Luoyang City?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao said helplessly: "I inform Miaocai to withdraw from Luoyang and station in Xingyang to strictly prevent the invasion of the Big Bear."
Xun You said: "Lord, are Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass defending? These are two dangerous passes. If they can be kept in our hands, it will be very beneficial to our army's future operations. I am worried that Big Bear will not let this dangerous pass."
Cao Cao said, "Forget it, since Luoyang has given up, why not occupy Hulao and Sishui Pass? If Big Bear really wants to occupy Luoyang, how could he give up these two dangerous passes? It would be better to give up Da Bear's personal favor. Of course, we have to send envoys to Liangzhou and Hanzhong to pass the orders to Ma Teng and Zhang Lu to see if we can induce him to seize Yongzhou."
After the major matter was handled, Cao Cao and his officials breathed a sigh of relief, and only heard Xiahou Dun say, "Wenruo, where is your original sword? Why did you change to an ordinary sword!"
Xun Yu replied: "Oh, this is a sword specially given to me as a souvenir when Lu Ning separated. I heard from Lu Ning that this sword has been with him to the battlefield and drank the blood of the Huns and Tartars. It is also a famous sword. This sword is called "Lie Destruction".
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao and his officials looked at the sword hanging on Xun Yu's waist. There was no special place in the sword. The scabbard was also an ordinary wooden scabbard, with no gems and gold inlays. What kind of famous sword is this?
Cao Hong joked: "Wenruo, I don't look like a famous sword? Isn't this just an ordinary sword? It's much worse than your original sword. You're probably fooled by the big bear." After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Xun Yu said seriously: "General Zi Lian, don't underestimate this sword. It has drunk the blood of the Huns. It is valuable in itself, and it is also the sword of the Big Bear. Don't think it is an ordinary sword. There are no gems on the scabbard and gold inlaid. But the sharpness of this sword is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary swords. Ju Lu Ning said that there are not many swords in the world that can compete with it."
Xiahou Dun still didn't believe Xun Yu's words. After all, a scholar knows a good sword, isn't it just an ordinary sword that Big Bear has used. "Wenruo, Lu Ning is probably bragging. If it is a famous sword, why is the scabbard made of wood and there are no precious gems, gold and other things inlaid on it. Besides, can "Liu Mie" be compared with the lord's "Qinghong" sword?"
