Chapter 200: Not an Inch of Land


"Sikong, Qi is both Xuzhou Mu, this Xuzhou North County is a few counties, but it is necessary to exchange Sikong for the time being.

"I have this intention, but I have settled the five counties in the north of Xuzhou, appointed a lot of officials, and the soldiers under my command who have made meritorious contributions have also rewarded the acres of land, if it is returned to Jiangdong at this moment, I heard that Jiangdong has a law of tuntian, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers under Cao's account."

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Qi with an embarrassed expression, rubbing the wine bottle with one hand.

"However, Wu Hou is now the land of the four states of Jiaojiao, Jing, Yang, and Xu, so he can first pacify the south of the Yangtze River."

Cao Cao's words have the meaning of bringing disaster to the west.

"Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng, is my uncle of the same sect, there must be tribute every year, and there is no rebellious heart."

"Jiaozhou Shixie, the clan is strong, and even the barbarian cottage is a secession party, and the power should not be underestimated."

"With the elite soldiers and good generals under the command of Wu Hou, it should be able to quell the chaos by taking advantage of the situation."

Liu Bei stroked his beard with one hand.

"Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, but every year, never cut off, it can be seen that the Jiaozhou scholars are not rebellious ministers, I have no name, I can only use the edict of the Son of Heaven to order him to come to Moling."

Liu Qi said with a smile.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged a look, and the latter smiled: "Wu Hou is generous and far-sighted, which is really the luck of my Han family." ” Liu Qi waved his hand again and again, looking humble.

Cao Cao drank a cup by himself, and his face turned slightly red: "Today's sergeant has reported that more than ten counties in Huaibei have moved people to the south, that is, the north of Xuzhou, and there is also this matter, I don't know what Wu Hou's move means."

"Without him, but it was my Jiangdong Erlang rushed to the local area, and was liked by the local people, and now he has received the edict of the Son of Heaven, he will withdraw the army and return, these people, hearing about the prosperity of Jiangdong, have suffered from war, and have a yearning for a stable place, and bring their families with their mouths, so they go south with the army."

"The foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, the people in the Central Plains, tens of millions, although the south of Huaishui is good, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are no homestead and acres, uprooting their hometowns, abandoning their ancestral homes, which is very desirable, but I am afraid that most of these people are forced by the soldiers."

Cao Cao said with a gloomy face.

"Wu Jiangdong to the law of Tuntian, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land per year, the house has its own local soldiers to build for it, and provide rice grain before the harvest, living in peace naturally does not need to worry too much, as for the forced thing, the soldiers of Huainan in the east of Wu Jiangdong Town, are the soldiers and horses of the Lujiang Battalion and the Jiujiang Battalion, all of which are recruited locally and under the command of Yuan Shu to surrender to the old department, and the people of Huaibei, but also close.

We will never do anything to force the people. ” "Under the rule of Jiujiang, in the north of Huaishui, the counties suffer from the flooding of the river, if Wu Hou will move the people of several counties to the south, Cao will not be disturbed, but I Yuzhou Runan, Peiguo, and Xuzhou Xiapi, the people of the East China Sea, if the people of the counties and counties all move south, this longitudinal radius of hundreds of miles, I am afraid that there will be no more than one people, more than ten cities are left to guard the fog, and no one will plant acres of cultivated land, in the future, I am afraid that it will be a disaster for future generations."

"This matter is all on the initiative of the people, and it is really not surprising."

Liu Qi looked embarrassed, and then, he seemed to think of something, "I heard that General Xiahou Yuan and General Cao Xiu want to give war horses to the Jiangdong camp, and Sikong knows about it."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and gave me a war horse, are you stupid Jiangdong Army has been coveting the Central Plains for a long time, just as his wife Cao coveted Diao Chan and Mrs.

Zou, the former Aunt Zhang Xiu.

"I haven't heard of this, but when Cao was in the north to fight against the rebellion of the thieves, he seized horses and grain, if Wu Hou is scarce, he is also a Hanchen, and it is not impossible to allocate horses to Jiangdong."

Cao Cao quickly figured out that this was Liu Qi's intention to release Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xiu, and he categorically would not refuse.

In this expedition to Xuzhou, the tiger and leopard cavalry lost most of it, and almost put all his hard work for more than ten years into one fell swoop.

The generals Cao Ren was killed in battle, Hu Che'er was killed in battle, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Zhang Xiu, Cao Xiu, Ren Jun and others were arrested, and Xu Chu, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun and others were almost all wounded.

If Liu Qi intends to release the prisoners, he will not accept them, and the military spirit will definitely be shaken, and Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Cao Xiu and other generals are all his former confidants, Cao Cao firmly believes that they will not betray him.

"This is very good, then there will be 20,000 war horses prepared by Lao Sikong, and go south with the accompanying horsemen, and I will stay with General Xiahou and others for a long time, and when the time comes, I can also let them go north with Jiangdong paper silk."

"Twenty thousand horses" Liu Bei was stunned, he carefully paid attention to Cao Cao's expression, only to see that his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"In the Central Plains, there are many war horses in the north, but under the command of Cao Mengde, there is no horse farm in the northland grassland, if there are three or five thousand war horses, you can take out, 20,000 horses, I am afraid that it is under the command of Gongsun Boqi, and there have never been so many war horses."

"Then there are eight thousand good horses, but there must be good horses from the north."

Liu Qi said with a smile.

"Three thousand horses, Wu Hou, Cao Mou can't let his sons and daughters dismount as pawns."

"Eight thousand, the matter of giving away war horses, but it is what General Xiahou said, and it is not a strange wish, it is not commonplace, but it is reluctant to give up these war horses" Liu Qi had a little more narrow smile in his eyes, and in Cao Cao's eyes, it was like saying: "Do you think that Xiahou Yuan and them are not worth eight thousand war horses" "If Wu Hou can release the Huaibei prisoners of war, Cao is willing to spend all his land in Yan and Henan and give Wu Hou 6,000 war horses."

"In this case, thank you Sikong."

Liu Qi immediately raised his hand and thanked him.

When Xu Shu led the army to besiege Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, he captured only more than 2,000 people, in exchange for thousands of war horses, which was naturally worth it.

In Jiangdong, there is no shortage of soldiers to fight now, what is lacking is grain, grass and war horses.

The three of them chatted for a while, and it was almost noon.

Cao Cao took Liu Bei to get up and bowed his hand to Liu Qi, "Marquis Wu is going here, for the stability of the southern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, it is a contribution to the stability of the country, but it is a pity that Meng De cannot fight with Marquis Wu." ” "Sikong pacified the Central Plains, the Northern Expedition rebelled, and he should set an example for our courtiers, and he also has a heavy responsibility."

"The Son of Heaven is the elder brother of the Wu Hou clan, and if Wu Hou is free, he can go to Xu County."

"Qi Zi should rush to Xu County on a certain day to worship the Son of Heaven."

"Sikong, Uncle Huang, stay here."

"Wu Hou, Cao will not be far away."

"Farewell."

Liu Qi raised his feet and walked in front of Tai Shici and Wu Xian, turned over and landed on the war horse, saw the two people in the brocade tent in the distance, turned around and walked towards the military formation.

"Xuande, the three of us are all swords, if you and we draw our swords at the same time, we may be punished," Cao Cao said with a smile.

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, and a vigilance arose in his heart: "With the courage of Sikong, you will win over the yellow-haired child." ” "Xuande, I like honest people like you."

"Thank you for the compliment
