After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Cao Pi hesitated for a while, and realized that some things should not be said indiscriminately, so he changed his words: "Don't inquire about things in the barracks!"

Lao Huang said again: "Last time I heard people from the supply camp say that no one has seen Mr. Cao Ji?"

"Don't inquire, inquire less!" Cao Pi continued to wave his hands.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Lao Huang stopped talking.

On the other side, Cao Cao was still guarding the tavern.

Zhao Da walked in quickly: "I have seen the prime minister!"

"How's the progress?" Cao Cao poured a bowl of wine and said slowly.

Zhao Da clasped his fists together: "Mr. Ziyu is having a heart-to-heart conversation with Miss Zhen Mi under the moon, and I have already arranged the new residence!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, with a smile on his lips.

Being able to bring about Liu Xian and Zhen Mi's success can be regarded as an end to one of his own concerns.

Zhao Da said again: "Prime Minister, there is still something to report to you, uh..."

Cao Cao was displeased: "If you have something to say, just say it, why are you so long-winded today?"

Zhao Da hurriedly said: "It's Mrs. Liu, she wants to see you, and thank you in person for sending troops to protect the Yuan Mansion!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Yuan Shao and I are brothers. According to our seniority, I want to call her sister-in-law, how can I bully her widow and orphan? Tell her, there is no need to thank her face to face!"

Zhao Da nodded and said: "Yes, I will let her go now!"

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao stopped Zhao Da: "Is she here?"

"Yes!" Zhao Da continued to nod: "Madam Liu insists on coming, but I am incompetent, I can't stop it, please prime minister..."

"That's all, that's all!" Cao Cao waved his hand: "Since she is here, let her come in!"

"Obey!" Zhao Da cupped his fists and hurriedly exited the tavern.

A moment later, Mrs. Liu in a red dress smiled and entered the tavern.

Mrs. Liu bowed her body and saluted: "I am from the Liu family, and I have met the prime minister!"

"You don't need to be too polite, just take a seat!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and just glanced at the other party.

"Yes!" Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, and sat down in front of Cao Cao with her red dress lightly lifted.

She picked up the jug and filled a large bowl of wine for Cao Cao and herself: "Your prime minister will not disgrace your family by destroying the city of Ye. On behalf of the Yuan family, I would like to offer you a toast!"

"Hey!" Cao Cao grabbed Mrs. Liu's arm, "You are a woman, how can you be so big?"

Mrs. Liu smiled, and cast a wink at Cao Cao: "If you drink with others, of course you don't have such a capacity for alcohol, but if you drink with the prime minister, why are you afraid of getting drunk?"

"Ahem!" Cao Cao coughed twice.

"Your subordinate will leave!" Xu Chu and Zhao Da left the tavern one after another.

"The concubine does it first and respects it!"

"Ma'am, I'll accompany you for a bowl!"

"Prime Minister, it would seem heretic to call me my wife!"

"In terms of seniority, I really should be called sister-in-law!"

"Then can I call the prime minister uncle?"

"Sister-in-law opened her mouth up and down, no matter what she said, it was reasonable!"

"Hate……"

Xu Chu, who was eavesdropping outside the door, scratched his head again and again, and asked Zhao Da softly, "How many mouths?"

Zhao Da: "Shut up!"

"Oh!" Xu Chu nodded, and shut his mouth obediently.

Early the next morning, Lao Cao left the tavern and went straight to Chengnan Mansion.

This mansion was originally prepared by Yuan Shao for his son Yuan Xi's wedding.

However, Yuan Xi has not moved in yet.

After Cao Jun entered the city, the Cao family had the final say.

According to Cao Cao's instructions, Zhao Da assigned the mansion to Liu Xian.

"Brother Ziyu, were you happy last night?"

Lao Cao laughed and entered the door.

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed loudly: "Brother Chicken, please, please sit down!"

Lao Cao sat down, glanced at the back hall, and asked in a low voice: "Last night..."

Liu Xian said solemnly: "Last night, Miss Zhen Mi and I had a very happy conversation, but she lives in the Yuan Mansion!"

"Why is that?" Lao Cao was puzzled.

Liu Xian said: "Although we agree with each other, but she is in Yuan's residence, she can be regarded as the half daughter of the Yuan family, and Madam Liu has to decide all matters big and small!"

"What's this called?" Old Cao slapped the table, "I helped you fix Mrs. Liu last night!"

"Huh?" Liu Xian frowned: "Brother Chicken, you last night..."

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed loudly: "I also talked with Mrs. Liu all night, and she couldn't help feeling distressed when I mentioned the matter between you two!"

Liu Xian nodded: "Oh..."

"You understand!" Lao Cao winked at Liu Xian.

"Understood, understood!" Liu Xian nodded again and again, showing a meaningful smile.

Old Cao said: "Don't worry, if there are no accidents, Mrs. Liu will send Miss Zhen Mi to your house tonight and let you dispose of her!"

Liu Xian hurriedly bowed his hands to Lao Cao: "Brother Chicken, my gratitude to you is beyond words. I just want to say that you are so beautiful, Chicken!"

Lao Cao frowned: "Chicken, you are too beautiful? What does this mean?"

Lao Huang hurriedly interjected: "It's just to praise you, Mr. Chicken, for your beautiful work, which is a rhetorical technique that my husband often uses!"

"Oh, that's how you want to come. You're welcome, you're welcome!" Lao Cao waved his hands with a smile, and said, "We used to be partners, and you offered advice to me. From now on, we will be brothers!"

"Well said!" Liu Xian said: "But our brothers can settle accounts clearly!"

"Fuck!" Lao Cao was speechless.

I pulled my face down to treat you as a brother, and you will settle the score with me?

Who is the profiteer?

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed, and filled Lao Cao with a glass of wine: "Come on, come on, brother chicken!"

Lao Cao smiled and raised his wine glass: "Brother Ziyu, winter is coming soon, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport food and grass. In your opinion, should Handan City be attacked within the year or after the year?"

Lao Cao took out the map and told Liu Xian the details.

There are twelve counties in Jizhou, but there are only two strong cities.

They are Ye City and Handan City!

Yecheng is located in Wei County, and Handan City is located in Guangping County. The two armies are closely adjacent to each other, so close at hand!

It is indeed not difficult to break through Handan City, the problem is that the supply of food and grass is not easy.

Chapter 75 Mr. Cao Ji, you are really as stable as an old dog

"Sir, after reading it, can you make a complete solution?"

Lao Cao spoke slowly, looking at Liu Xian expectantly.

"Yeah!" Liu Xian nodded slightly.

Lao Cao was shocked: "Sir, do you have a perfect plan?"

"No!" Liu Xian shook his head decisively.

Old Cao: "Uh, this..."

Liu Xian smiled: "Dr. Cao wants to fight but is afraid of the cold weather, and wants to attack Handan City because of insufficient military supplies. Isn't this a daydream?"

Old Cao: "..."

Liu Xian raised his head and looked at Lao Cao: "Brother Chicken, you are asking me to give advice, you are making things difficult for me!"

"I... embarrass you?" Lao Cao was shocked: "Even you can't do anything?"

Liu Xian shook his head: "I don't have a perfect plan, but I do have a safe one!"

Lao Cao cupped his hands and signaled: "Please advise, sir!"

Liu Xian raised two fingers and made a movement of stirring up and down.

"Huh?" Lao Cao was extremely shocked: "This action..."

Liu Xian said: "Two aspects!"

"That's what it means!" Lao Cao laughed.

Liu Xian said: "The problem is nothing more than two. Mr. Cao wants to use the fastest speed to transport the grain and grass, and then quickly take the whole Jizhou!"

"That's right, that's what it means!" Lao Cao nodded.

"Simple!" Liu Xian said: "First solve the problem of grain and grass, and start digging a canal around Yecheng to dredge the waterway from now on. Next summer, the grain road will be unblocked, which can solve the problem of Duke Cao's grain transportation!"

Lao Cao smiled: "Sir, digging canals just to mobilize food and grass is time-consuming and labor-intensive. From this time to next summer, I am afraid that any amount of food and grass can be mobilized!"

"That's right, you're right!" Liu Xian nodded.

Lao Cao was puzzled: "Then why did you offer such a strategy? Someone in the court has already proposed it, and it has been rejected!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian smiled: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. The merits of the present age will benefit the future."

Lao Cao asked: "But is this directly related to attacking Yuan Shang?"

"Yes!" Liu Xian said: "According to the future development trend, the four prefectures in Hebei will all be in the hands of Duke Cao. Today, canals will be dug to speed up the unification of Hebei. In the future, Duke Cao will go south to capture Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places. Wouldn't it be beneficial to transfer to Xudu or Xuzhou?"

"Hahaha!" Old Cao laughed, "Sir, you have a long-term vision. Others only see small profits in front of you, but your long-term vision has been calculated thousands of miles away!"

Liu Xian pointed to the map and said, "There is one more point that must be made clear. After the canal passes through the city of Ye, it will also divert water to flood the city of Handan!"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed loudly: "Then the canal is worth digging!"

Liu Xian smiled: "When doing business, you must weigh the pros and cons and take a long-term view!"

"Well said, well said!" Lao Cao nodded again and again.

Liu Xian also said: "As for the attack on Handan City, there is no need to rush for a while. Mr. Cao can make a false attack on the surrounding counties and counties, and then send people to persuade them to surrender. Soldiers first and then courtesy, the surrounding counties will surely surrender!"

"That makes sense!" Lao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian continued: "When the encirclement of Handan City is formed next year, and the city will be flooded with water from the canal, even if Yuan Shang has ten lives, he will not dare to defend an isolated city!"

"Absolutely!" Lao Cao excitedly said: "Mr.'s two strategies seem to be foolish, but in fact they are steady and steady like a rock!"

"Small meaning, small meaning!" Liu Xian said: "Brother Ji is beautiful as an adult, how can I let you embarrass you in front of Cao Gong?"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed loudly, grabbed the wine jar and filled two big bowls: "Come on, have a drink!"

"Please!" Liu Xian immediately raised his wine bowl and drank with Lao Cao.

After finishing the wine, Lao Cao patted his ass and left.

Quickly rushed back to the Chinese army and convened civil and military discussions on important matters.

The generals are very excited.

At this time, the prime minister raised his account to discuss matters, and it was likely that he was going to attack Handan.

But Cao Cao said: "I want to dig a canal, together with the waterways of Yecheng and Xudu, who can do it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of civil and military officials in the big tent changed.

Jiang Gan was the first to stand up: "Prime Minister, someone in the DPRK proposed that this matter was rejected earlier, and you didn't object at that time?"

Cao Cao said: "Today is not what it used to be, when the city of Ye was not conquered!"

Jiang Gan asked: "Dare to ask the prime minister, is there any difference?"
