"My lord, did you feel well after resting last night?"
Sima Lang raised his hands in greeting.
When he looked at Cao Cao at this time, his eyes were a little different from before.
The King of Wei is a powerful person.
But Cao Cao himself was very complicated.
If before this, Sima Lang was subdued by Cao Cao by treating him like a virtuous corporal, then now, when Sima Lang looked at Cao Cao, he seemed to see a bright future.
How could such a talented but cautious lord be unable to defeat King Dongyang?
¡°After all, Sima Lang himself is also a proud and arrogant person. Unlike ordinary people, his philosophy of being an official is for his family.
By following Cao Cao, you will have the opportunity to make contributions and your family will prosper.
In Sima Lang¡¯s view, Cao Cao was the king of Wei, but he was willing to put down his face and live in a bamboo shed with many country folk here, eating pickles and light porridge.
Even if Cao Cao doesn't mean it sincerely, this kind of behavior is commendable.
??So forbearing, so winning over people's hearts, and so calculated.
For the sake of public support, you can put down your posture. In order to win, you can promote talents regardless of their origins
Cao Cao has too many advantages.
As if he had seen through Sima Lang¡¯s thoughts, Cao Cao decided to continue the pretense to the end and joked:
"Boda, you underestimate me. Do you think I have never suffered and have always been pampered? Remember when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, I started from a humble beginning and led the army on an expedition. What did it mean to live in a tent and eat pickles? At that time, I didn't even have food. No!"
"I still remember the most serious time. The army was short of food, and I took the lead in eating grass roots"
After hearing what Cao Cao said, everyone showed admiration.
¡°Whether it¡¯s true admiration or fake admiration, everyone has the same look anyway.
The people present were even more awe-struck, imagining in their minds how the majestic King Wei chewed grass roots.
At this time, Sima Lang realized that Cao Cao was also a general who led troops in war, so his eyes became more eager.
"I admire you!"
Just admire itCao Cao was very satisfied.
Afterwards, Cao Cao warned Cao Hong again.
"Zi Lian, you have followed me for so long and know some of my deeds. You can compile them and publicize them in the army."
What deed?
Cao Hong recalled it carefully. At that time, Dong Zhuo was in power and the princes gathered at Sishui Pass. Dongyang Hou broke through the pass. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and fled to Chang'an. Cao Cao volunteered to join the pursuit with Dongyang Hou.
" As a result, Dong Zhuo's army counterattacked, and Cao Cao was defeated and fled Cao Hong tried desperately to save him, but Cao Cao managed to save his life.
It doesn¡¯t seem like this will work
When the Xiliang princes attacked, Ma Chao even killed Cao Cao at Tongguan, leaving behind his helmet and armor. Under the protection of his subordinates, Cao Cao managed to escape.
This deed doesn¡¯t seem to work either¡
Cao Cao saw Cao Hong's uncertain expression and asked, "What, are you in trouble?"
Cao Hong shook his head quickly, joking, can such a thing be said?
After the show was over, Cao Cao left with satisfaction.
Precisely because of the swift and sufficient preparations, it only took Cao Chun and Yu Jin seven days to order their troops and set off.
By the time they arrived in Xiliang, the rebel army had expanded to 50,000 people.
But what threat do the Qiang people who don¡¯t ride horses pose?
Relying on advanced military equipment, it took the second general only one month to put down the rebellion.
Among them, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry performed the best, and they were no worse than the elite cavalry of the Qiang people, or even better.
Cao Cao commended the two of them.
This is also the last rebellion in Xiliang.
The Qiang people were all dead, crippled, and alive.
Even if they are dissatisfied and want to resist, they can't let women and children participate in the rebellion, right?
In one year, Cao Cao almost wiped out three feet of land, crazily recruited troops, plundered civilian wealth, and became unprecedentedly powerful.
???????????????In addition to having enough food and clothing, the people have nothing to live with.
It is precisely because of the abundant food that the Han people did not rebel except for the rebellious Qiang people.
Since ancient times, people's tolerance has always been very high. As long as they can live well, a little hardship is nothing.
But the businessmen couldn't stand it.
Their success lies in doing business.
?People are so poor that they don¡¯t have any extra money to buy goods.
I can¡¯t even afford clothes, let alone some luxuries.
Even pubs and tea shops related to people's livelihood have closed down.
Not only that, Cao Cao increased taxes.
The common people had no money and the aristocratic families could not afford to offend them, so businessmen became the most popular people.
Where is the fragrance?
They have wealth, but no one to protect them!
Cao Cao¡¯s drastic measures cut everything across the board, and the merchants complained endlessly.
But if you want to hang out in Cao Cao's territory, you must be patient.
The economic depression in Sizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Liangzhou has also indirectly affected Yangzhou.
In recent years, Yangzhou businessmen have flourished everywhere, and they can be found everywhere.
They pursued an exquisite life, so they established some high-end pubs, teahouses, and various entertainment venues.
But under Cao Cao's high-pressure policy, the people had no money, the merchants' pockets were shrinking, and only some dignitaries occasionally visited.
As for why it was accidental Because Cao Cao promoted a simple lifestyle, even the top nobles did not dare to commit crimes.
The Great Depression!
In order to alleviate this passive situation, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce began to strategically shrink, and some people have already smelled something unusual.
If Cao Cao continues like this, even if Liu Ke doesn't attack, he will launch a war and invade Yangzhou. Otherwise, with the current imperial system, it will collapse after a few years.
If you want to learn from the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, it also depends on whether the soldiers and the people will pay for it.
Cao Cao is expanding unscrupulously
The Yangzhou businessmen who suffered losses were unwilling to accept the loss and cried to Liu Ke, hoping that the Yangzhou government could turn the tide.
It¡¯s a pity that Yangzhou is deeply involved in the war between Yamatai and the Kingdom of Yamatai and does not have enough energy to manage it.
In the end, Liu Ke proposed a solution that was not a solution, and that was to negotiate with Cao Cao and open the Silk Road!
Cao Cao controls Xiliang, and also controls the entrance to the Western Regions.
In fact, Liu Ke mastered a secret trade route, which was to conduct trade with the Western Regions through grasslands and deserts.
This road is quite bumpy, starting from Youzhou and going to the homeland of the Xiongnu.
Although it has a certain value, it takes a long way and the profit is greatly reduced.
If you take this route, the risk is still relatively high.
The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei all surrendered to Liu Ke, but some small tribes will always be brave and take risks.
Therefore, it is necessary to negotiate with Cao Cao.
At first, Cao Cao thought it was some conspiracy and was so scared that he wanted to refuse, but in the end he agreed.
He is so poor!
He needs a large amount of iron ore and armaments, but it is impossible for Liu to sell them.
Therefore, foreign trade is very necessary.
Cao Cao agreed to the matter, but placed restrictions on the caravan.
The Silk Road thus unfolded, barely maintaining the balance between Yangzhou and the imperial court.
As for how long it can last, no one has any hope. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
