Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

Li Mo said this for no reason. It was mainly because Yuan Shu did this in history. He directly attacked Chenliu County by surprise and stationed troops in Chenliu in preparation for a surprise attack on Yuan Shao. Historically, Yuan Shu did not take Cao Cao seriously at that time. At that time, Cao Cao had just acquired Yanzhou. Although it was called Yanzhou Mu, the various places in Yanzhou were not stable.

In the end, only more than 100,000 troops were left after 300,000 surrendered troops, while Yuan Shu had two Naturally, the one hundred thousand troops did not take Cao Cao seriously. Although the situation has changed now, Li Mo had to remind Cao Cao that

Xuzhou and Yanzhou seemed to be close to each other, but this was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and traveling was extremely inconvenient, even if It is between two prefectures and counties, and it will take at least a month on the road. In addition to the time spent coming back and spending time in Xuzhou, it would be good if Li Mo can come back within three months. By that time, the spring plowing will be over. The fight would most likely have started by then, so Li Mo decided to give a reminder,

"Okay, I've written this down, but how do you plan to enter Xuzhou and go to Xiapi?"

"Go to Yuzhou"

"Yuzhou?"

After hearing Li Mo's words, Cao Cao was also slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Li Mo would choose a completely different route. Although both routes can reach Xuzhou, there is no doubt that it is safer to go directly from Yanzhou to Xuzhou. But Li Mo chose the more dangerous Yuzhou. Not only did it take longer, but the probability of danger on the road was also higher. After all, the tense situation between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao at this time could be seen.

"Yes, even if I enter Xuzhou now, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Tao Qian smoothly. It seems that I am in Xuzhou, but how can Yuan Shu not be on guard? Yuan Shu must have reached an agreement with Tao Qian now. This Shi Wei has really exposed his lord. I am afraid that he will either not see Tao Qian or he may be ambushed on the way. Going to Yuzhou may seem dangerous, but in fact it is much safer. Yuan Shu definitely did not expect that his lord would send someone. Passed by Yuzhou and went directly to Tao Qian as envoy"

"At that time, we will pass through Pengcheng and directly arrive at Xiapi, where we can ask for an audience with Tao Qian. As long as we persuade Tao Qian not to send troops, the lord's crisis will be resolved. After the autumn harvest, the lord will have sufficient supplies of food and grass, and there is no need to worry about the later stage."

"Alas, Fengying, I have wronged you."

Listening to Li Mo's analysis, Cao Cao couldn't tell that Li Mo's seemingly peaceful mission was actually risky, and Tao Qian did not dare to kill him easily. Li Mo, because Li Mo is going on behalf of Cao Cao, but if someone discovers him on the way there, if he dies before meeting Tao Qian, then his death will really be in vain.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Dian Wei can stay, but forget about the lord's personal soldiers. They are all members of the army and are too eye-catching. I'll just let the caravan guards protect me. In this way On the contrary, it is safer"

"Okay, be careful along the way. When you come back, I have a big gift for you."

""Here."

After bidding farewell to Cao Cao, Li Mo was not idle. He immediately prepared for the trip. At the same time, he also began to summon his own escort. As for Cao Cao's so-called gift, Li Mo didn't pay attention at all. In Li Mo's All he saw was a promotion. Li Mo was really unwilling to accept it. He might as well give it a discount. Then it would be more suitable for Li Mo to get more land in Yanzhou.

At night, in another residence of Li Mo, Dozens of young and middle-aged people are neatly dressed and waiting for Li Mo to appear. This is Li Mo's so-called escort team. Although there are only a few dozen people, they are carefully cultivated by Li Mo.

"Lord, everyone is ready."

At this time, a man dressed in plain clothes but exceptionally strong came to Li Mo and said, this is Zhang Kun, who was carefully trained by Li Mo and is specifically responsible for the escort team. Existing, this escort team of only a few dozen people is Li Mo's family. Everyone is carefully trained, and the training is no less than that of later generations of special forces. They are absolutely top-notch experts, and they are still there. Under the leadership of Zhang Kun, many bandits and bandits were wiped out. They were all masters who had seen blood.

Before Zhang Kun surrendered to Li Mo, he was actually a general in the Yellow Turban Army. His strength was comparable to that of Dian Wei. Not as good as him, but not worse than ordinary generals. However, Li Mo gave the opponent Zhang Kun's identity again, erased the past and took care of Zhang Kun's family. Zhang Kun was also completely loyal to Li Mo. Mo, and trained this special group of guards for Li Mo, Li Mo would not use them easily, unless it was something special or extremely expensive. During this period, the warlords were fighting, and the people were miserable, including bandits and bandits. There are naturally many bandits, especially many bandits and bandits who are made up of deserters. The Black Mountain Army is the most famous one among them, but there are still many bandits and bandits in various places. After all, it is too hard for ordinary people. , not only have to face heavy taxes, but also face oppression from officials and wealthy families. There is no way to survive. Naturally, many people choose to become bandits.

"Well, in advance, I have already told the city defense army to leave the city at night and set off early tomorrow morning"

""Here" this means that Cao Cao and others are not here at this time, otherwise they would have been surprised by Li Mo's special escort team. Everyone's equipment is very sophisticated, even the crossbows in their hands. They all have very special shapes, which Li Mo redeemed with points. Li Mo has redeemed a lot of design drawings, but many things cannot be made at this time due to material limitations, so they can only be redeemed with points.

The crossbows in the hands of these people are actually the famous compound bows. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with an average shooting distance of one hundred to one hundred and fifty steps, with the blessing of Li Mo's compound bow, these people were completely Able to easily shoot enemies within two hundred steps, and not only compound bows, but also hand crossbows. For convenience, although they did not wear obvious armor, everyone wore special armor under their coats. The inner armor's defensive power is no worse than that of armor, but it can be worn close to the body. The effect is very outstanding.

Early the next morning, Li Mo took Dianwei and a lot of goods and went straight to Yuzhou. And it was true that a lot of time was wasted on the way, especially in the cold winter, when there were fewer people walking, including businessmen, so Li Mo and his party were wasted a lot of time on the way. Some, fortunately, did not encounter any obstacles. When passing through some cities for supplies, it was nothing more than a waste of money, and they could pass easily.
