Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

"The same situation applies to Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and compared to Yuan Shu, Tao Qian is actually more difficult to deal with. Tao Qian has been operating in Xuzhou for many years and has won the hearts of the people. Even after defeating Tao Qian, Xu Xutu, as long as Tao Qian If we can't hold on, it won't take more than three months at most. Our army will still be unable to succeed."

"The best thing about the victory is that we don’t need to consider the threats of Yuan Shu and Tao Qian in the short term, but from an internal perspective, we are still affected a lot. The farming system needs to be put on hold for the time being, which is a waste of time. There is also countless money, which will make the Lord’s finances even more of a problem."

"Mr. Li Mo, I heard that you seem to have invested a lot of money in this farming system. Is Mr. Li Mo worried about his own money?"

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Cheng Yu on the other side had already expressed his thoughts. After hearing this, Li Mo also had a black line in his head. He even admired Cheng Yu's uprightness. , he is really decisive, and he seems to have never offended this person.

"Master Cheng Yu is right, Li Mo is indeed distressed. After all, I have invested so much. If these investments of mine fail, it means that at least 600,000 stones of food and grass for the lord will be lost during this autumn harvest. Will Lord Cheng Yu be responsible for this shortfall?"

"I......"

"Okay, Zhongde, this matter itself is my question to Feng Ying, so why should Zhong De be suspicious? Feng Ying and I are our right-hand men, how could they drag me down because of money matters?"

"Well, Zhong De is being abrupt."

After hearing Cao Cao's interruption, Cheng Yu immediately became honest, while Li Mo couldn't help but curse in his heart. This is what Cao Cao, a good old man, did to earn his money in just a few words. The favorability level has come, but Li Mo also has to admit that Cao Cao does have his own unique personality charm.

"Feng Ying, if you say you won't fight, are you just waiting for Yuan Shu and Tao Qian to attack our army?"

"My lord has an army of 300,000 men. If all 300,000 men are stationed on the battlefield with Yuan Shu, my lord, do you think Yuan Shu dares to fight us head-on?"

"this......Most likely not"

"What Yuan Shao wants is for the lord to help contain Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. Mainly, this battle does not need to be fought, but it only requires the lord to build momentum."

"Building momentum? What is momentum building?"

After hearing Li Mo's words, Cao Cao was also confused. He began to become more and more confused as he listened to these words.

"Simple, the lord only needs to send out detective horses to enter Yuzhou in large numbers, especially Yingchuan, Chenjun, and Runan, and add more manpower to specifically inquire about the deployment of troops in various places."

"Fengying, do you want me to attack Yuzhou?"

Cao Cao already understood Li Mo's meaning as soon as he heard it, but Cao Cao was still a little confused about the purpose of doing this.

"It's not that the lord wants to attack Yuzhou, but it's enough to make Yuan Shu think that the lord wants to attack Yuzhou. When Yuan Shu learns this news, he will definitely retreat to the Yuzhou front line with strong troops, and Tao Qian's lord can send an eloquent person. Just bring some gifts and visit Tao Qian. There is no conflict between the lord and Tao Qian, and Tao Qian himself is old and has long lost his ambitions. He has more than enough defense and not enough offense."

"Fengying, everything you said is theoretical, but can Tao Qian really agree? Once your plan goes wrong, the whole Yanzhou will be affected."

Xun Yu listened to Li Mo's words, but he was not very surprised. Agree, although the war will cause Cao Cao to fall into poverty again, but with an army of 300,000 as the confidence, Xun Yu feels that even fighting on two fronts at the same time is not a problem, he can still win, but if he follows Li Mo's method Come, then it is easy to fall into passivity, and if you make a slight mistake, it is easy to become passive.

"Fengying, are you willing to send Tao Qian as an envoy? If you can really persuade Tao Qian to stop his army, I will follow your plan. If not, this battle will still be fought."

"Lord, is it appropriate for me to go on this errand?"

"Why, Lord Li Mo is afraid?"

"Um"

"Here......"

Hearing Li Mo's response, Cheng Yu was also very angry. Li Mo was really down-to-earth and admitted that he was scared. Cheng Yu gradually began to realize that Li Mo was capable, but This out-of-the-box character also makes people very helpless.

"Ha ha ha ha......Fengying, I’ll thank you for your hard work this time. If I can really follow your plan, within a year, I, Cao Mengde, will no longer be afraid of any princes."

""Here."

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Li Mo has discovered this hard work. He has to do it or not. Fortunately, Tao Qian is relatively reasonable. Even if we can't agree, we won't kill anyone.

"Xun Yu, be prepared with both hands. According to your plan, prepare everything that needs to be prepared in advance to prepare for emergencies."

"Here"

"Cao Ren"

"lord"

"Strengthen the training of soldiers. What I want is a warrior who can fight a hundred battles, not surrender troops that will collapse at the first touch. Do you understand? This is considered as your guilt and meritorious service. Do you understand?"

""Here."

After the meeting ended, Li Mo was already kept by Cao Cao before he could leave. This time it was good, it became a conversation between Cao Cao and Li Mo, and the rest There was nothing left, so Cao Cao simply entertained Li Mo in his pavilion. Li Mo didn't say anything more, just came to Cao Cao and sat down to drink tea.

"Fengcheng, there are still a lot of things that I haven’t said before."

"Lord, do you see it?"

"Well, is it because of Wen Ruo, Zhong De and others?"

"That's right, but not entirely. My lord should see the problems of this family more clearly than I do. It's just that there is no way to cut off the foundation of this kind of thing. It can only be done step by step. The matter with General Cao Ren is just a starting point."

"Alas, I have wronged you. I feel a little ashamed of you."

""Master, it's just you and me now, there's no point in saying this."

As Li Mo spoke, he drank another cup of tea. The more contact Cao Cao had with Li Mo, the more Cao Cao liked Li Mo. Mo went to talk, not only because talking to Li Mo was not so lifeless, but more importantly, Cao Cao always felt that he could learn a lot of new knowledge from Li Mo's conversations, and Cao Cao felt somewhat sorry for Cao Ren's matter. Li Mo,
