Three Kingdoms: The son-in-law was lying flat, and Lu Bu eavesdropped on his heart

The moment when Cao Cao left Xiangyang and galloped on his horse.

His mood was extremely happy. as if......

It has been blown to Nanyang County with the breeze.

In ancient times, it was very important to have an indicator to measure the strength of a region.

That’s population!

Because population represents productivity, money, food, and taxes.

Even the upper limit of troop strength!

In the Han Dynasty, there were two counties, which were large in population.

One is Runan County in Yuzhou; the other is Nanyang County in Jingzhou.

In history, Cao Cao moved his capital to Xu County.

It is not Yangzhai, the seat of Yingchuan.

In a sense, it is related to the control of Nanyang County and Runan County.

Of course, purely based on historical data, the population migration in Xu County in a short period of time is also inseparable from Runan and Nanyang, the two most populous counties.

Otherwise, it would not be able to support the foundation of Cao Wei and Xudu in history.

Cai Mao has been coveting Nanyang for a long time.

Or should I say so, if it weren't for the proximity to Lu Bu.

Then, Nanyang County will inevitably become the focus of competition for the entire Jingxiang gentry clan.

It was precisely because of Lu Bu that they might be deterred.

After all, the land was swept away by war.

It has always been a narrow escape from death.

The number of people who can survive is really pitiful.

If once the population passively decreases, then the initial investment will naturally be wasted, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

But......

Because of the joining of Cao Cao.

Cai Mao has already penetrated the Cai family's influence into Nanyang.

Moreover, in just two years of operation, it has successfully turned a profit and recovered its costs.

Nowadays, because of Cao Cao's reasonable arrangements, Nanyang County is becoming more and more dynamic.

In this way, Cai Mao's original investment will inevitably be magnified.

Although it is difficult to quantify the income of the Cai family, if there is a ranking list for future generations, such an investment-to-income ratio will definitely be among the best, and even win the first place!

Cai Mao to Cao Cao.

It was never a simple friendship between buddies.

After all, if there is no absolute benefit, who would want a guy who will only bring disaster to himself.

Cai Mao is no longer the young boy he once was. He is the head of the Cai family in Xiangyang. Regarding these matters, he will naturally consider the overall situation and the family, and it is no longer as simple as brotherly loyalty.

This is a sign of a person's maturity.

Yes!

Cai Mao couldn't be tough in front of Cao Cao.

After all, without Cao Cao, his power in Nanyang would be greatly suppressed.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao dared to talk to Cai Mao like this, and even felt like he was on the other side.

When he left Xiangyang, he galloped towards Nanyang.

Cao Cao was in a great mood!

In all these years, he has never been as happy as he is today.

Nanyang, Wan County.

Yizheng Hall

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!"

"Successfully captured Mrs. Cai."

The man on the side is mature and solemn, his eyes are slightly tired, and his face is wrinkled. He seems to have a heavy air of twilight.

It gives people the feeling that most of his body is buried in loess and is about to die.

However ,......

Although this person is full of twilight.

But he is the counselor under Cao Cao, second only to Guo Jia.

His name is Jia Xu!

He was originally a counselor under Zhang Xiu.

When Cao Cao was sent to Nanyang, he successfully recruited him and became his subordinate.

Naturally, Jia Xu also became one of Cao Cao's think tanks.

"Ha ha! Cao

Cao looked up to the sky and laughed:"Thanks to Wen He for your plan. Why didn't I think of starting with Mrs. Cai? She is clearly the strongest link between Liu Biao and Cai Mao.'~"

"As long as we can capture Mrs. Cai!"

"Ha ha!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao became more and more excited, as if he wanted to jump up from his seat:"We will definitely be able to leverage the current stable situation in Jingzhou and make it fall into our strategy."

Actually,

Cao Cao's original plan was to successfully capture Jingzhou after Liu Yu succeeded.

But who would have thought that Liu Yu actually failed, and he failed so completely that there was no room for maneuver at all.

There was no way!

Cao Cao could only find another way.

At this moment, Jia Xu had just offered his own strategy.

Now, Liu Biao and Cai Mao each have their own agenda.

If they want the relationship between the two to be controlled by an outsider, Cao Cao, they must We need to find the power of a third party.

Obviously!

Cai Xin has a relationship with both Liu Biao and Cai Mao.

And the relationship is very close.

This is the reason why Jia Xu chose Mrs. Cai.

It is a coincidence that Cai Xin just has a loophole. , enough for Cao Cao to break through.

So, in just a few days, Cao Cao coaxed Cai Xin around, and even succeeded in one fell swoop today.

You must know that women in love all have negative IQs, and Cai Xin is still like this today.

She Now!

You can do anything for Cao Cao.

And Cai Xin will not hesitate at all.

"Mrs. Cai's victory is only the first step"

"lord~~~"

Jia Xu bowed his head and said softly:"The most critical thing is the second level. Only by passing the second level can we possibly change the situation in Jingzhou. We must remember not to act too hastily.""

"kindness! Cao Cao nodded slowly:"

Wen He, continue!""

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and then said:"My lord, you must continue to maintain high-frequency contact with Mrs. Cai. At the same time, you must always remind Cai Mao to pay attention to the situation in Jingxiang."

"Liu Biao has hated the Cai family for a long time, and he will never let go of any detail that can suppress the Cai family. Especially now, Liu Biao's health is getting worse and worse. He has no fighting spirit and just wants to let Jingzhou live in peace."

I have to admit.

Jia Xu's analysis is very accurate.

Liu Biao has lost the heroic spirit of riding into Jingzhou alone.

Now he is just an old man in his sixties, with a gray beard and a bright head. He is not old anymore.

Now his only hope is to stay in Jingzhou forever.

Then.......

Successfully transfer the business to the next generation.

Liu Biao was from a clan of the Han Dynasty, so he was very clear about the change of generations.

He definitely does not want to establish a baby as the head of the family.

Therefore, the only choice was for Liu Qi.

But Liu Qi is old.

He and Cai Xin couldn't even pee in the same pot.

Once Liu Qi took power, it would definitely be a disaster for the Cai family.

Cai Mao knew this very well. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He will never watch the situation move in a direction that is unfavorable to Cai's development.

It's just a pity that Cai Mao is still very naive today.

All Cao Cao has to do is to raise his wits.

Not only must Cai Mao be successfully included as one of his own, but he must even be used by himself.

Because only in this way can he truly control Jing Xiang

"kindness! Cao

Cao nodded slowly:"Wen He's words make sense, so what do you think we should do?""

Jia Xu exhaled a thick breath:"My Lord understands in his heart."

Cao Cao's lips curved slightly.

"Oh, right."

Jia Xu suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly:"My lord, news came back from Youzhou. Lu Bu abolished the three princes and restored the prime minister system. He appointed himself prime minister, and his son-in-law Wang Hao became the general."

"kindness?

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned:"Wang Hao?" General?"

Jia Xu nodded:"Yes.

Cao Cao was stunned and confirmed again:"Is it possible that the information is wrong?" Jia Xu shook his head:"

I have confirmed it three times. There is absolutely no mistake. Lu Bu did appoint Wang Hao as the general. Rumor has it that Wang Hao was Lu Bu's son-in-law and half-son, so he was named the general.""

"but......"

Jia Xu made a sudden change and lengthened his tone.

"But how?"

Cao Cao frowned and asked.

Huh?~~~

Jia Xu exhaled a breath:"I noticed a detail."

Cao Cao asked tentatively:"What detail?"

Jia Xu answered honestly:"The generals under Lu Bu's tent seemed to have no complaints about this, even Jushou and Tian Feng and other civil servants did not let any rumors leak out."

"ah?"

Cao Cao was stunned on the spot.

But after a moment, he understood.

Jia Xu's meaning was very clear.

He wanted to tell Cao Cao that the people in the public were talking wildly, but it seemed that in Lu Bu's system, everyone agreed that Wang Hao should be the general. And there are no complaints.

Damn it!

This time is indeed different from before.

Wang Hao has always been very ambiguous under Lu Bu's account.

Especially when Lu Bu promoted Wang Hao to be a military advisor, it attracted a lot of criticism.

After all, in In the eyes of everyone, Wang Hao is a guy who has no knowledge and skills and only knows how to sell his face.

But now, everything seems to have changed.

General!

That is a general!

There is no criticism at all.

There must be something in this. Cao Cao didn't know what happened.

Suddenly,

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he had doubted Wang Hao at the beginning.

After all, no matter where Lu Bu went, he would always take Wang Hao with him.

So it was probably Wang Hao who was secretly guiding Lu Bu. but......

After experiencing the Battle of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao changed his mind.

Because, even without Wang Hao, Lu Bu still persisted.

And in such a disadvantageous situation, they forced a comeback.

If this is the case, then Wang Hao is not that master.

Huh?

Something's wrong!

Cao Cao seemed to realize something:"Wenhe, have you sent someone to investigate Liu Yu's case?"

Jia Xu blurted out without hesitation:"There are some doubts."

Cao Cao:"Tell me!"

Jia Xu said softly:"One. , there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the eight captains of Xiyuan, even the smallest one, the strength will not be less than 2,000, with a full force of 2,000 troops to attack Wang Hao's mansion, how can Wang Hao win?"

"Rumor has it that Huang Zhong's daughter Huang Wudie, Lu Bu's daughter Lu Qiling, and Zhao Yun's biological sister Zhao Yu all have unstoppable courage, decisive killing, and are very powerful!"

"I have also investigated it below. Jia

Xu exhaled and said,"Lü Qiling has indeed formed a female army, with a strength of more than a thousand. The maids in the mansion are all the most elite female soldiers, and they are indeed capable of fighting!""

"anything else?"

Cao Cao continued to ask

"Second!

Jia Xu said softly:"Zhang Liao was able to rush to Xuzhou in time to support at the most critical moment. He must have received the news in advance. Who delivered this news?""

"Rumor has it that it was Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu. Huang Xu rushed to Sili, while Huang Zhong went straight to the camp outside the city to help Xu Huang fight back against the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan."

"That......"

Cao Cao asked curiously:"Is it Huang Xu?"

Jia Xu nodded again:"It is indeed Huang Xu."

Hiss~~~

Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp.

Then, Jia Xu raised six or seven more doubtful points in succession.

But......

He himself also sent people to investigate.

And it is basically consistent with the facts.

In this way, it makes myself embarrassed

"Wenhe."

Cao Cao turned to look at Jia Xu, with an expression as if he had discovered a new world:"Do you feel a little strange?

Jia Xu frowned:"My lord, what do you mean?" Cao

Cao waved his hands hurriedly:"It's not interesting. I just feel that all these things have nothing to do with Wang Hao. Isn't it a coincidence, or is it intentional?""

"Ah, this......"

Have to admit.

It's really possible.

For a moment, Jia Xu's angry eyes seemed to have suddenly brightened up:"My lord is wise, this Wang Hao is indeed not simple. If he really did it on purpose, then this person's strategy must be better than mine, Jia Xu's.""

"check!"

Cao Cao gave an order:"While we still have enough time, we must investigate with all our strength. Keep an eye on Wang Hao and never let go of a clue.

Jia Xu bowed his head and said,"Here!" Don't worry, lord, leave everything to me. Cao

Cao nodded:"But if you have news, you must report it, no matter when, do you understand?"

Jia Xu handed over his hand again:"Don't worry, my lord, it must be like this.""

"very good!"

Cao Cao, thisHe breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart finally settled in his stomach.

Wang Hao! ?

Even if you are a ghost.

Labor and capital will still dig you out of the underworld.
