Chapter 470 I, Double Flower Red Stick [Subscription Request]
Yao Jing came to Cao Cao, picked up the teacup and poured him a cup of tea.
When she bent down to pour tea, Cao Cao looked over and what caught his eye was her delicate collarbone and small shoulder sockets.
The summer shirt was thin, and you could vaguely see the moon-white undershirt she was wearing.
Yao Jing glanced at Cao Cao and said with her red lips:
"I see Qingyu and the others are in charge of the Qingbi Li, and they are often busy. They can help your majesty do something."
"Master wants me and Wen Ji to help him add some content to the ancient scrolls on rituals and music."
"I want to agree, but I have to go to the Imperial Academy sometimes.
The master sent someone to ask, and he is waiting for a reply outside the palace."
Cao Cao: "I don't want you to stay in the palace all your life, never leaving the house."
This means that we agree to allow them to add to the scriptures.
Yao Jing smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."
"I haven't finished yet. There are many people watching this palace. You can leave, but the female guards cannot leave."
At this stage, hostile forces are fighting for their lives, and someone is deliberately approaching Cao Ang, so concubines should also be careful when going out.
"I understand." Yao Jing said happily.
The little tigers came over, trying to show their presence, and sat in a row in front of Cao Cao.
Seeing that Cao Cao ignored them, one of them raised its chubby paws, placed it on Cao Cao's dragon-patterned auspicious cloud boots, and slapped it hard.
The other two, one tilted his head back and let out a childish growl that sounded like snoring.
The remaining one used his back to rub Cao Cao's other foot.
Diao Chan was fine, she just came here to walk around.
Yao Jing got the approval and took Diao Chan with her.
The three little fat tigers also ran away happily.
Cao Cao turned his attention back to the entry prompt.
In Chinese history, there were three dynasties with an area of over 10 million square kilometers, and two with an area close to 10 million.
Strictly speaking, the population is close to 10 million, including the plateau areas on the roof of the world.
At present, there is no unified government in the plateau area.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, with large areas of uninhabited areas.
Tribes such as Congpi Qiang, Fa Qiang, Xiangxiong, and Nuguo all live and distribute on the plateau.
In the later Tang and Song dynasties, the Tuyuhun regime appeared in the plateau area.
It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the plateau area was officially incorporated into China.
Cao Cao is currently working on incorporating approximately 2.4 million square kilometers of land in the plateau area into China.
This process can be done without violence.
The population in the area is sparse, and through diplomacy, stationing troops and other means, we can gradually occupy and annex its land.
"The border of our Great Wei is temporarily ranked fifth..."
evening.
Zheng Xuan was summoned by Cao Cao and asked, "How is the progress of setting up more schools in various places?"
"Most of them are noble families, both large and small, who send their children to schools to respond to Your Majesty. There are not many students who enroll, and their development is slow."
Zheng Xuan was seventy-four years old.
But he doesn't look old at all, he still looks the same as when I first met him seven or eight years ago.
When the Great Wei was established and its fortunes were on the rise, he promoted education and took charge of the Imperial Academy, which brought him great benefits. His knowledge of Confucianism was unfathomable.
“Learning calligraphy and writing, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are not affordable for ordinary people.
Without the popularization of paper, no matter how much we promote it, it will be difficult to see the great development of education.”
At present, the types of paper in Cao Wei have expanded to include bamboo curtain paper, rattan paper, fish egg paper, etc.
The relevant costs and raw materials are also reduced accordingly.
Cao Cao and Zheng Xuan were discussing the promotion of religion when the sun set.
After Zheng Xuan left, Cao Cao came out of the study and saw Yin sitting on the corridor.
Dian Wei took a steamed bun, stuffed it with pickled vegetables and donkey meat, and made a Han Dynasty version of a giant donkey meat burger. He also made one for Yin.
Cao Cao walked towards the inner palace, and Jia Xu caught up with him from behind:
"Your Majesty, Wuwei County is taking action tonight. Should we wipe out the entire army, or let some of them go and take the opportunity to infiltrate our spies?"
"The situation is now very clear. There is no need to fish for a long time. Let's get rid of it all."
……
Bu Liu sat alone in the Dayuezhi palace in Fulusha, motionless.
The eldest brother Chi Yunfu died in battle, and the shaman army, known for its elite strength, was also defeated and wiped out.
The commander-in-chief, General Muto, also died in the battle.
The environment in the Western Regions and the restrictions of the desert on horses offset the advantage of the Xianbei cavalry's ability to move as fast as the wind.
The Shaman army did not even display their full combat power and was defeated by the Wei army at the lowest cost.
The fact that Muto and Chi Yunfu led the Xianbei tribe into the Western Regions was directly related to the defense map that Bu Liugu stole.
She took out the defense map again and looked down at it.
She still hasn't figured out whether this defense map is authentic.
It doesn't look fake at all.
Relying on the defense map, they did gain a great advantage in the early stages, which is why they advanced step by step, leading to the final collapse.
The Xianbei, which had been a powerful army ten years ago, had gradually grown to its current state, but was disintegrated and weakened by Cao Wei.
The strength of both sides has become increasingly obvious.
Tears silently slid down Bu Liugu's face.
The strength of Cao Wei made her, and even the entire Xianbei, feel fear.
The Kushans fought with the Wei in two directions, but also failed to achieve any success. They have now withdrawn their troops.
Bu Liugu wiped the tears from his face and disappeared into the darkness.
She wanted to find Moganqiu and see what she could do to make up for her mistake.
...After completing the task of burning the Tianshui granary, Moganqiu evacuated to the northwest overnight.
A few days later, he entered the Hexi Corridor and lay dormant again.
He is currently in Wuwei County, a county town at the junction of the Hexi Corridor and the heartland of China.
Dusk is falling.
He walked through the streets of the city.
The city is a mixed crowd, with merchants coming and going from the north and south, and it is extremely prosperous.
Judging from the flow of people alone, it is hard to believe that this is just a medium-sized city on the border of Wei.
Moganqiu raised his head and looked outside the city.
After nightfall, one can seem to hear the sounds of people transporting earth and rocks and building roads.
He withdrew his gaze, hunched his back slightly, and slowly returned to his residence in the city.
No one would have thought that this seemingly old coachman was the leader of a Xianbei tribe and was in charge of the Xianbei's only information transmission system.
The residence of Moganqiu is a small courtyard.
He works in a carriage and horse business here.
He also had an apprentice in his room, and the two of them lived together.
The apprentice's left hand was missing half of the palm, his face was dark and his shoulders were hunched.
He was Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang. After being defeated by the Western Xianbei several years ago, he had several fingers chopped off.
Because of his understanding of Han territory, he accompanied Moganqiu to Han territory to carry out the mission of destruction.
The two of them called each other master and disciple.
Yuan Shang picked up a wooden kettle, poured hot water for Moganqiu, and said in a low voice:
"I have discovered that the Wei people have the largest horse farm in Hexi in the western part of Wuwei County and they recruit horse breeders all year round. Maybe we can send someone in and find an opportunity to destroy the horse farm."
Moganqiu shook his head:
"After the Wei people recovered the Western Regions, they also acquired Wusun, Dayuan and other places, and they had abundant horses."
"According to the information we have, their reserve horse supply has exceeded 150,000 horses.
Destroying one or two horse farms will not have much impact on Wei. "
"Besides, the Tianshui incident just happened. It's very difficult to take action now."
"The various kings are trying to negotiate peace with Wei, so it's not the right time to take action."
Yuan Shang said anxiously: "Cao...will never accept the peace talks. My father knew him and they had a close relationship, but he killed me."
“In the past few years, he would kill prisoners whenever he fought with the surrounding tribes.
Unless we destroy his vital points and make him unable to march north, why would he give up?"
"If he accepts the negotiation, it must be a false impression."
"There are many noble families in Wei, and they have had close relations with our Yuan family. Xianbei sold furs in Beiguan several years ago, and they also had contacts with many noble families.
We force these nobles to do something for us, or we will expose their previous connections with us. It is very likely that some of the nobles will be dragged into this.”
"Sabotaging Cao Wei from within is the only hope for the Xianbei."
Moganqiu looked Yuan Shang up and down, and he seemed to have looked down on this Han Chinese youth in the past:
"What else do you have planned?"
"I have drawn up a plan to destroy the Wei Dynasty. Their shipyards, craftsmen, and ministers can all be assassinated."
"In order to build the canal, Cao Wei mobilized a large number of hard laborers, most of whom were foreigners who had a grudge against Cao Wei for exterminating their race.
If these slaves can be released, it will cause great unrest."
“Including Wusun and other places, which Cao Wei occupied through killing.
Even if Wei tried to relocate the population of Wusun, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in a short period of time.
We can increase our activities in Wusun, incite the Wusun people to rebel, and then work with the Kushans to disrupt the Wei people's east-west trade routes."
Moganqiu was more and more surprised.
What Yuan Shang said was very close to what he was thinking.
He also had corresponding arrangements, sending people to Wusun to try to stir up unrest.
While the two were discussing in the house, in another location in Wuwei County.
Two young men, pushing a wooden cart, just entered a courtyard after dark.
After unloading the cargo from the truck, they walked into a room inside.
The two young men looked ordinary and were not tall.
People pushing wooden carts to load and unload goods can be seen everywhere along the Hexi Corridor, where there is a lot of construction going on.
However, as soon as they entered the room, they both straightened their backs, their eyes lit up, and they showed their amazing practice.
They looked at the accountant sitting in the room with eyes full of respect and expectation:
"Are you the commander-in-chief of the four counties in Hexi?"
The accountant frowned, not very satisfied with their performance:
"Why don't you reveal your identity by not telling me the incision?"
"When we arrived, we had already been notified and knew that it was you who was personally in charge of this operation!"
The three of them quickly compared the secret code to prove that they were one and the same.
The two young men were delighted and asked, "Which of the two great commanders are you?"
"I, the double-flowered red stick!"
The accountant proudly gave out his code name.
This code name sounds very sexy and it is obvious that it is the work of Boss Cao.
Mr. Accountant is the chief spy of the four counties in Hexi: "Your code names."
"I am 'four two six', I am 'stick'!"
Double flower red stick and 426 stick.
The 426 sticks are red sticks. Within Cao Wei, they are responsible for punishment and expansion of military force and are the military thugs among the spies.
If a Red Stick performs great deeds, he or she may be promoted to a Double-Flowered Red Stick, responsible for espionage in multiple regions and in charge of armed executions.
"The people who burned Tianshui Warehouse are in Wuwei County. The higher-ups have ordered us to get rid of them!"
The double-flowered red stick straightened up, and a series of crackling sounds came from its body. Its body became tall and mighty, with an imposing aura:
"Let's go and kill them!"
