Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

Xuchang, in Cao Cao's mansion, at this time, Cao Cao was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously in the main hall, and below, all the civil and military personnel were standing below, and no one dared to go too far. Say a word and signal to each other with their eyes,

"Lord, there is no way to rush this matter. I think we should consider the immediate matter first. Now Yuan Shu suddenly mobilized 50,000 troops to cross Yingchuan and go straight to Hanoi. There must be something fishy about this matter." Seeing that no one said anything, Xun Yu still had the courage to speak, and when Cao Cao heard someone speaking, he took a long breath and then sat down again.

"I already know about this matter. Before Fengying left, he asked me to make preparations in advance, saying that Yuan Shu might send troops across Hexi into Hanoi to surprise Chen Liu."

"What?"

After hearing this, not only Xun Yu, but also everyone else showed surprised expressions. No one thought that before Li Moyuan left, he had already thought about what might happen in the spring.

"Lord, can Fengcheng tell me how to deal with it?"

"Well, Feng Ying advocated that the stalemate should continue until the spring plowing was completed. He said that Yuan Shu's move was to deal with me and to divert Yuan Shao's attention, forcing Yuan Shao to deploy troops for defense. Once the spring plowing was completed, Feng Ying said that I The army can send a general out of Yingchuan and into Runan. There is no need to fight. It can only be surrounded without fighting to force Yuan Shu to retreat."

"hiss......Does the lord mean that these were all calculated before Feng Feng left?"

Even Cheng Yu was not calm at this time. Cheng Yu had always had an unfavorable attitude toward Li Mo, so naturally he didn't have a good impression. It has been more than three months since Li Mo sent Tao Qian as envoy. The spring plowing was almost over, and Li Mo hadn't returned yet. What awaited him was that Yuan Shu suddenly dispatched a hundred thousand troops, led by General Ji Ling, bypassing Yingchuan and heading towards Hanoi. This is what today's meeting is about. The reason, everyone saw Cao Cao pacing back and forth with an unkind look on his face, but no one dared to ask first. It wasn't until Xun Yu couldn't help but ask, that everyone knew that Li Mo had foresighted to such an extent and actually mentioned it. Qian had already calculated Yuan Shu's actions and made corresponding arrangements.

"Well, when Fengying told me about this, I thought it was impossible. I had an army of 300,000 people. Why did Yuan Shu dare to do this? But now it has come true. Yuan Shu has calculated that our army is short of food and grass."

"Lord, isn't this a good thing? The news from Xuzhou has been passed back. Li Mo has instigated the relationship between Tao Qian and Yuan Shu in the name of the Lord. Tao Qian will definitely not send troops easily. As for Chenliu County, the Lord has given me a hundred thousand troops. , I will definitely be able to defeat Ji Ling."

At this time, Cao Ren stood up directly. After what happened last time, the conflict between Cao Ren and Li Mo has been reduced a lot, but when it is time to ask for a fight, Cao Ren naturally Nor will I refuse,

"General Cao Ren, don't worry. Although Fengying successfully provoked mutual distrust between Yuan Shu and Tao Qian in the name of the lord, the site still cannot be opened easily."

"What does this mean?"

"Feng Feng's plan is to use defense instead of attack. If the enemy cannot move, I will not move. Lord."

"Alas, exactly, now our army, Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian are constraining each other. Fengying single-handedly instigated an alliance between Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, so Yuan Shu's purpose of doing this now is most likely to attract Tao Qian to send troops. , and Tao Qian is determined not to send troops easily, and Yuan Shu is also worried about fighting to the death with our army."

"My lord, Yuan Shu wanted to attract the lord's attention and induce Tao Qian to send troops, but Feng Ying used this in reverse. As long as the lord sent troops into Runan when Yuan Shu couldn't hold it back, Yuan Shu was afraid that his retreat would be cut off. It is inevitable to retreat. This time, I am afraid that the delay will be more than a few months. As long as the lord's crisis is resolved by the autumn harvest, this plan is not as good as mine."

Xun Yu was also sighing at this time. Li Mo was brave and careful, and had the ability to predict the enemy first. He even took the initiative to publicly say that he was not as good as Li Mo. Cao Cao also sighed with emotion when he heard this.

"Lord, since we have already planned something, why are we still in such a difficult situation?"

At this time, Cheng Yu was somewhat puzzled. Since the problem had already been planned, why was Cao Cao still looking nervous?

"I have sent out several groups of exploration horses before and after, but there is still no news about Feng Ying. If something goes wrong with Feng Ying, this will definitely be the biggest loss to Cao Mengde." Listening to

Li Mo's words, everyone present fell silent. All of them claim to be able to fight and have the ability to know the world, but when Cao Cao faced a crisis this time, Li Mo helped Cao Cao solve almost everything by himself. It can be said that he indirectly stabilized Cao Cao's great cause. This contribution cannot be matched by any one person.

Not only did he save an army of 300,000 people, but he also designed this method to prevent Cao Cao from being attacked from both sides. He also promoted the farming system and left a bright way out for Cao Cao. This contribution has surpassed everyone present. At the same time, what Cao Cao felt even more distressed was that he had lost someone who could talk to him like a friend.

Especially since Cao Cao believed in meritocracy and was actually rejecting wealthy families in his heart, Cao Cao It can be understood that among all his subordinates, only Li Mo supported him from the bottom of his heart. Cao Cao only dared to reveal this idea to Li Mo. Cao Cao's career cannot be separated from the support of the family, but Cao Cao's heart But Li knew that one of the culprits of the chaos in the world was this wealthy family, so there was no news about Li Mo until now, which was a huge blow to Cao Cao, and to the rest of the civil and military ministers under Cao Cao who were present, this incident Things are mixed, the good news is that Li Mo attaches great importance to his subordinates, attaches great importance to feelings, and it is not a loss to serve Cao Cao. The sad thing is that Li Mo is already a very favored subordinate of Cao Cao, but Li Mo has control over it. It is only in terms of money and food, and it cannot have much impact on those who really hold military and political power.

But now if Li Mo returns, just looking at Cao Cao's attitude, we know that Li Mo will definitely be further used by Cao Cao. Once he has some military and political authority, Li Mo will definitely suppress all of them. How could they not be jealous?
