These words gave Cao Cao another headache!
The people have become soldiers.
Where do taxes come from?
Yangzhou¡¯s commerce supported the sky, but the four states under Cao Cao¡¯s rule were still dominated by agriculture.
Now that all the farmers have become his own people, how dare Cao Cao go and collect taxes from women and children?
If Cao Cao dared to collect taxes from women and children, his soldiers would dare to rebel.
How about continuing to squeeze the merchants?
In order to get money, Cao Cao often did this, which also led to the failure of business development.
why?
Because Cao Cao did not dare to impose heavy taxes on Yangzhou merchants, he could only start with local merchants.
This has also resulted in businessmen in the four states being uncompetitive!
There is no way, Cao Cao is short of money.
As for the aristocratic family Cao Cao didn't dare to eat this piece of meat.
The rebellion of the common people and Qiang people is just a minor illness. If aristocratic families are involved, the state, county and government are in danger of being destroyed.
At this critical moment, Cao Cao did not dare to provoke the family, and even offered some benefits to get them to side with the court.
?????????????????? Time is such a good thing!
If Cao Cao is given enough time, he believes that he will be able to arm a million troops.
Although a million-strong army is not safe enough, it still has the power to compete for supremacy.
Just when Cao Cao was worried and his subordinates were silent, Sima Yi came in a hurry.
"My lord, I have something important to report!"
Seeing Sima Yi¡¯s serious look, Cao Cao became very nervous.
Now he can¡¯t stand the trouble.
"Good news or bad news?"
"It's good news, Lord."
"Oh?" Cao Cao suddenly became interested.
"According to reports from spies in Yangzhou, King Dongyang has sent more troops to the Kingdom of Yamatai."
Cao Cao calmed down his thoughts. Not long ago, Yangzhou sent troops to conquer Yamatai Kingdom, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
How could the Yamatai Kingdom be the opponent of the Yangzhou Army?
It¡¯s almost time to destroy it!
But now, King Dongyang has sent more troops to Yamatai Kingdom.
what does that mean?
The war has reached a stalemate and reinforcements are needed to change it.
But why is the country of Yamatai so capable?
"Zhongda, the battle report sent out by Yangzhou a while ago doesn't show that Yangzhou is at an absolute advantage? Gan Ning, the general of the Chishui Army, was unstoppable along the way"
"My lord, there are many doubts about it."
"Tell me the details."
"The Chishui Army and the so-called Bohai Fleet lost a total of fifty-two ships. Why did they only lose a hundred people?"
Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
Sima Yi took one look and knew that Cao Cao didn't know much about warships.
"Yangzhou's warships can carry up to 500 people at full capacity."
After saying this, Cao Cao understood a little bit.
Fifty-two large ships were damaged. If they were fully loaded, the Yangzhou Navy would lose at least 20,000 people!
And the army that conquered Yamatai Kingdom only numbered 50,000 people in total
This shows what?
More than half of the expeditionary force has been lost!
But this was concealed in the Yangzhou battle report, so King Dongyang continued to send reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was very happy!
But after a while, Cao Cao's face darkened again.
Yangzhou¡¯s army is more than one million, what does the loss of 20,000 people mean?
It¡¯s just a drop in the bucket. With Yangzhou¡¯s financial resources, it can be supplemented casually.
So, there is nothing to be happy about.
¡°My lord, you only saw the surface of the matter.¡± Sima Yi said bluntly.
"Please enlighten me!" Cao Cao said humbly.
Cao Cao has a problem, that is, when facing talents who are not his subordinates, he likes to treat virtuous corporals.
But when this talent became his subordinate, Cao Cao entered the stage of giving both kindness and power.
Like Sima Yi, who can keep Cao Cao humble, he is already a very capable minister.
Of course, this is also related to Cao Cao's preparation to "share weal and woe". After this period of time, they will have a brighter future.
"The reason why the Yangzhou Navy suffered serious losses is not because the Taiwanese army could not match it."?'s combat power, but Queen Himihu summoned the strong wind with the help of witchcraft and divine power. "
"Um?"
Cao Cao expressed his doubts about how the so-called divine power could exist But when he thought of Zhang Jiao's various supernatural powers, Cao Cao was skeptical.
"My lord, just imagine, if it weren't for the help of the gods, how could the Yamatai Kingdom sink fifty-two giant ships? In order to conceal this, King Dongyang only announced the casualties of one hundred people"
"Actually, regardless of whether Queen Himihu has supernatural power or not, we only need to be sure of one thing, that is, Yamatai has enough strength to contain Yangzhou. This is enough."
"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so talented and strategizing, didn't he also suffer a loss when he conquered the Dawan Kingdom?"
"Moreover, the Yamatai Kingdom is a bloody country. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, a hundred thousand troops came across the sea and attacked Qingzhou."
"Presumably the Yamatai Kingdom can still raise an army of 200,000 to deal with the Yangzhou Army. If King Dongyang continues to increase his troops, it will explain the problem."
After the Zuo Rong incident, Sima Yi gained a lot and had a group of loyal and reliable spies.
But no matter how good these spies are, they only get news about Yangzhou and know nothing about overseas.
So some of the contents of these reports are Sima Yi¡¯s guesses.
There may be some exaggeration in it, but Sima Yi made up for it by "looking back".
Everything needs to be told with facts!
Cao Cao was very satisfied and even had some unrealistic ideas.
If the Yamatai Kingdom can swallow the entire expeditionary force, then Yangzhou will definitely be in pain!
Cao Cao also found an opportunity to continue to develop.
¡°Every move in Yangzhou must be monitored.¡±
"I understand!"
Cao Cao was very satisfied with Sima Yi's attitude of not being arrogant or impetuous. This kind of man with a strong government is very reassuring in his work.
It¡¯s just that Sima Yi looked too much like him, and Cao Cao didn¡¯t like it.
This is the only way to go in extraordinary times.
In fact, there were many things that Sima Yi did not dare to report because he could not do them.
For example, he found out that the expeditionary army¡¯s supplies departed from Daifang County.
Daifang County is located on the Chao Peninsula. No matter how capable Sima Yi is, he cannot control it.
" Moreover, it is not worth the effort to lead Fang County away from the Central Plains and away from Cao Cao's territory.
Most of the energy and limited funds were spent in Yangzhou.
No way, intelligence work is also very expensive.
"With the character of King Dongyang, he will not be willing to admit defeat. It would be great if he could give Yamatai some support." Cao Cao said regretfully.
"My lord is determined. I believe Queen Himihu will stick to it after she finds out." Sima Yi said.
"Haha!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed and his mood improved a lot.
According to the current situation, it is impossible for Yangzhou to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.
¡°The top priority is to quell rebellions in various places and produce armaments.¡±
"Send envoys to Yizhou and Jingzhou to see if Liu Bei and Sun Ce have enough courage to support the imperial court."
"As long as we survive the most difficult period, we will share the glory and wealth!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
