Chapter 2772 Tiger's head and snake's tail(2/2)
Oh, Prime Minister Cao is worthy of being a scheming person!
Wang Chang was indeed a little impressed by this.
During this period, Wang Chang had come into contact with many Shandong gentry members in Xu County one after another, but Wang Chang found that there were indeed great problems in the thoughts of these Shandong gentry members, and it seemed that it was more obvious in this celebration.
These Shandong gentry seem to be always shaking.
If these gentry and gentry can be completely united, no matter which side they support, the emperor or the prime minister, they will become the strongest opponents of the cavalry and the biggest threat, but the problem is that they cannot unite and will always be unstable.
So did Prime Minister Cao also realize this problem, so he has been continuously integrating during this period?
Wang Chang suddenly felt that this contradiction was the biggest gain he had gained from coming to Xu County this time.
As for this celebration, overall, Lao Cao was undoubtedly the biggest advantage, and almost nothing the emperor Liu Xie wanted could be achieved smoothly.
Some people expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor's celebration this time, believing that for Shandong, they should not invest too much in the border areas, so that they can concentrate on dealing with Guanzhong. As long as Guanzhong is pacified, the situation can naturally be restored and the country will be stable.
In fact, this is just a joke. The key is that such a joke can actually have many supporters!
Because at present, the nomadic peoples have been beaten to pieces and have no combat power at all. All nomadic peoples are very honest and are even afraid of the Han army's advance...
In addition to the white disaster last year, many tribes in the desert were unable to protect themselves. Those who wanted to go south to rob can't defeat the elite Han army such as Zhao Yun, and the rest could only compete with Cao's army. Therefore, overall, they did not consume money and food like the previous Western Qiang War, and only increased casualties.
So in fact, Shandong's treasury is empty and its money is in a dilemma, it actually has nothing to do with the desert and the north.
Moreover, if Cao's army really gave up the northern desert area, then Shandong would have only the Central Plains. Although Cao Chun and others did withdraw, it seemed that the army was more concentrated on the surface and the soldiers in the Central Plains increased, the next question was what Cao Cao would use to fight Fei Qian's cavalry?
Even if you can attack the infantry phalanx to push, what about the population and money that can be consumed?
To attack Chang'an, let alone 30,000 to 50,000, even if there are 100,000 elite soldiers, they may not be able to conquer Hangu Tongguan. And the daily food and drink expenses of these 100,000 or more soldiers and soldiers are an astonishing value. Where will these food and grass come out?
Therefore, Cao Cao's strategy of using Youbei to train cavalry and use cavalry to control cavalry was the most cost-saving way, but he was pissed off by many gentry children in Shandong...
