Chapter 382: Advancing at a Rapid Speed ​​[Subscription Request]

Study in the afternoon, the weather is nice.

Cao Cao held the list handed to him by Jia Xu and saw the names one after another.

There are relatives of Jiangdong, as well as famous officials of Jiangdong who were once famous in history.

Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and others, along with their families, were on it.

Some of them are still young and not well-known.

Cao Wei planned to relocate part of the population of Jiangdong to Yecheng, Luoyang and Chang'an.

Luoyang and Chang'an were the places that suffered the most serious damage when the world was in turmoil.

But these two places are extremely important, and reconstruction must be given priority, with people moving in to gradually restore their population base.

Cao Cao saw a name on the list and raised the corner of his mouth.

Sun Shangxiang, isn’t this Liu Bei’s wife?

It is said that she is a very aggressive and unruly little heroine who wields a spear and a stick.

Xiao Qiao is also on the list.

Like Da Qiao, she and her husband had a miserable life. Not long after they got married, their husbands died.

Cao Cao took up his pen, marked out a few of the names, and sent them to Yecheng.

The rest went to Luoyang and Chang'an.

Coincidentally, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia also came in together to report something.

After Jiangdong was taken back, several close ministers around Cao Cao were busy with their own affairs.

Because there are too many things that need to be sorted out.

Xi Zhicai also handed over a scroll, which contained the weapons, supplies, etc. that had been recovered from Jiangdong.

He is responsible for summarizing and statistics.

Jiangdong has a weak foundation and not much can catch Cao Cao's eye.

But there were many military gains.

Especially water craftsmanship.

After the fire at Chibi, they still had thousands of warships.

In addition, a lot of things were obtained from the confiscation of the property of the Jiangdong gentry.

Cao Cao read it and wrote a few lines of comments on the booklet.

Xi Zhicai took it and walked away in a hurry.

"Your Majesty."

Jia Xu said: "I want to move my family to my side."

He has not yet moved all his family members to Yecheng.

He brought his wife and children with him to show that he had no second thoughts about Cao Cao.

But the other branch of the Jia family, such as uncles, uncles, parents and other relatives, have never been seen.

For many years, he himself did not contact.

Jia Wenhe is such a cautious person.

Not only did he survive himself, but he also took his whole family with him.

There was a statistic in later generations that said Jia Xu was the only well-known person among the three major camps in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms who not only lived a long and good life, but also all his relatives within three generations were well protected by him, without any accidents.

This is so rare in troubled times.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities have nothing to do with the Jia family.

The place to live and the way of survival he found must be absolutely safe.

For so many years, Cao Cao pretended not to know that there was another branch of the Jia family and never asked about it.

Now that Jiangdong has surrendered, Jia Xu himself proposed to move the entire Jia family to Yecheng.

He felt that this opportunity was quite suitable.

Firstly, Cao Wei was already stable enough, and if it didn't move, it would be meaningless to wait for the unification of the world.

"Jia Wenhe, you are quite cautious."

Guo Jia tried to sow discord: "The king treats you kindly, but you waited for so many years before moving your family here. It shows that you are not a sincere person and you are always secretive in doing things.

If the king had not been so broad-minded, he would have dragged you out and beheaded you long ago."

Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia, made a somewhat strange gesture, turned his palm over and turned it in a circle.

When Guo Jia saw this, he was stunned for a moment and immediately stopped talking.

But also returned a gesture.

Jia Xu was also a little surprised and turned back without saying anything else.

Cao Cao lowered his head to read the scroll, and caught a glimpse of the two people's small movements. He wondered what leverage these two had that allowed them to fall into the hands of the other?

I've heard of verbal battles, but this is the first time I've seen them use hand gestures to spar with each other. Fortunately, both of them could understand each other.

"Fengxiao, what are you doing here?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

“The king said earlier that some arrangements should be made early to promote the rapid development of our Great Wei.

After Jiangdong is taken back, we must open up the sea. Opening up the sea will be full of difficulties in the early stages, and there is no previous experience to refer to. It cannot be done without people of extraordinary ability. "

Guo Jia meant that reclaiming wasteland at sea was a tough job.

But ability is extremely needed and very important.

Only Cao Cao has the right to decide who to choose.

What Cao Cao meant by opening up the sea borders was, in the early stage, annexation and seizure of resources to enrich himself.

Japan was the first target he set his sights on.

Japan is not big, but it is rich in minerals such as iron ore, coal, rare metals, and horses.

What they implemented in later generations was to keep their own resources untouched or unmined, and pass them on to future generations.

Basically, they consume other countries' products first, and then save their own products to store for the winter.

Cao Cao was preparing to carry out destructive exploitation on Japan in order to drain its resources and strengthen the Wei Kingdom.

Use the Japanese to mine and exploit resources to provide blood transfusion to the Wei Dynasty.

If you want a country to restore governance and enter a prosperous era after a chaotic period, it usually requires the efforts of several generations of rulers and ministers, and generations of revival.

But there are shortcuts.

For example, Genghis Khan in later generations relied on outward expansion and plundering other people's resources to support the national strength, which snowballed and continued to invade other countries.

The way he used to get rich quickly was to rob others to make himself stronger.

The same thing happened to Japan in later generations, which relied on launching wars to rob China of many resources.

They transported these resources back, hoarded them, and made them rich for generations?
However, launching a war is a double-edged sword. If you don't do it well, you will lose soldiers and generals, suffer heavy losses, and the gains will not outweigh the losses. Therefore, this matter requires capable and capable subordinates to lead and promote it.

And it is best to have more than one person so that they can check and balance each other and assist each other to form a stable structure.

Cao Cao had already thought of the candidate.

To expand territory, we must gather talents from all over the world and unite more people to accomplish great things.

"Lu Zijing's ability to weigh and judge, and his ability to plan and discern matters are all top-notch.

Then let Ju Gong cooperate with (Ju Shou) to speed up the preparation of ships and handle all matters related to the sea borders. "

Guo Jia nodded in agreement.

Lu Su was not only extremely capable, but he was also born in Jiangdong and was familiar with ship preparations and water affairs, making him the most suitable person to open the sea.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu took their leave, and Cao Cao sat in his seat, pondering for a while.

If Zhou Yu surrendered, the original plan was to let him develop overseas affairs.

The commander-in-chief of the Wei navy and the commander-in-chief of the sea, he can kill the villains from all directions overseas. He is much better than the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong!

Unfortunately, he chose to commit suicide.

Influenced by the times, during the Han Dynasty, even the most outstanding people only focused on a particular time and place and could not see beyond China.

Liu Bei, including Zhuge Liang, were also subject to this limitation.

Although Cao Cao has been remembered by later generations, he set his sights on areas outside the Han Dynasty from the very beginning.

Two years earlier, he was anxious to conquer Wuhuan first, and then to open up the Western Regions in order to make external arrangements in advance.

If you want to make a country strong, the territory you directly control does not have to be too large.

But the influence and coverage of power must be strong enough.

Hollow out all the surrounding tribes and countries that are causing trouble and provide blood supply for Wei.

Cao Cao planned to make the surrounding foreign tribes unable to read and have no usable resources in order to complete his spiritual and resource control. Those who were not usable would be eradicated to prevent future troubles and facilitate the long-term stability of Chang'an in China.

He stood up and looked out the window, calculating the time in his mind. Yitong was right in front of him.

What will it be like when power reaches its peak?
He quickly gathered his thoughts, returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and pushed forward his own practice.

During this period, Cao Cao personally went to the front line to take back Jiangdong, and finally experienced the pain of not even having time to pee, and sometimes had to work all night long.

Do some exercise to restore your mental and physical strength, as there will be many things to do later.

He closed his eyes and practiced.

In the distant Ye City, the imperial seal in the study was swirling with purple light, and it actually echoed with him from a distance.

After conquering Jiangdong and gaining millions of people, Cao Wei's national fortunes surged again.

Inside the state seal, the vast mountains and rivers are reflected.

A real dragon was swimming in it, absorbing the energy of mountains and rivers.

Cao Cao was thousands of miles away, but his aura was connected to the national seal.

Every breath he took was able to integrate the great fortune of humanity, and his body was filled with abundant energy.

In Cao's mansion in Yecheng, Bian Mei, Yu Qing and other wives and concubines gave birth to children one after another shortly after Cao Cao left, adding new members to the Cao family.

At this time, Yu Qing, Bian Mei, Bai Ke, Wen Ji and others gathered together in the inner house.

Cao Cao asked someone to send back some small items in advance and distribute them to his wives and concubines.

Several girls gathered together and selected the gifts sent back by Cao Cao with great interest.

Yu Qing's eyes were bright: "My husband has taken Jiangdong back, and it won't be long before he becomes emperor."

Subtext: I want to be a royal concubine.

Bian Mei looked towards the south of Yecheng and felt a little envious of Diao Chan.

Diao Chan had no children to take care of and was in charge of the inner treasury of Cao's mansion.

The Great Wei conquered Jiangdong and confiscated the property of the nobles, and there were many things to be stored in the palace's treasury.

Diao Chan received the news some time ago and went south to meet Cao Cao.

"I wonder when my husband will be back?" Mrs. Du yawned and asked lazily.

"My husband sent a message saying that he will be back soon."

By May, Cao Wei's troops, led by generals such as Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Cai Mao, Zhang He, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang, completed the first wave of combing the Jiangdong region.

Then Taishi Ci led the army westward from Jiangdong and entered Jingzhou.

Zhao Yun marched from north to south, fighting his way down from Changbanpo, and formed two armies with Taishi Ci, attacking cities and seizing territories in order to take Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's troops did not dare to engage in battle and retreated to defend, so Cao's army advanced rapidly in Jingzhou.

The rest of the generals stayed in Jiangdong to stabilize the situation.

Previously, there was a bandit problem called Shanyue in Jiangdong territory, which was difficult to quell for many years.

The main reason was that Jiangdong had many naval forces, and the Shanyue were fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, advancing and retreating, making it difficult to wipe them out.

When Cao's army arrived, Cao Cao issued an order of amnesty in order to split up the Shanyue bandits.

No one wants to be a gangster all his life and hide from the light.

Shanyue was previously hostile to Jiangdong and had a deep hatred for it. With no chance of reconciliation, they were forced to become bandits.

The current situation in Jiangdong has changed, and this can be said to be their only chance to get rid of their bandit identity and get ashore.

When Cao Cao issued the amnesty order, the Shanyue tribe immediately split into two factions.

Some advocated surrendering to Wei.

The other part objected.

In mid-May, some Shanyue bandits came down the mountain and accepted the amnesty.

Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong army, immediately ordered them to lead the way and wipe out the Shanyue bandits in return, thus showing their loyalty.

Shanyue then collapsed from within.

Cao's army rushed into the mountains, used an insider to lead the way, and chased the enemy everywhere. In just half a month, they attacked the Shanyue's four hideouts in succession.

This is the danger of internal rebellion, there is nowhere to hide.

Although there were still some remnants of the Shanyue, they fled in all directions.

But it is no longer a big deal and can no longer be considered a disaster.

Cao's army was advancing smoothly in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and the situation was stabilizing.

Only then did Cao Cao feel relieved and able to relax.

In the afternoon, Yin, who was lying at Cao Cao's feet in the study, suddenly pricked up his ears. He leaped up his huge body, as light as a civet cat, and rushed out of the window and ran out of the mansion.

Yao Jing, who was in the study room, asked in surprise, "What happened to Yin?"

"In a hurry to flatter."
