    Time flies, and another half month has passed.

    Cao Cao received a piece of good news in panic.

    Gan Ning commanded an army of 150,000 to suppress the Yamatai Kingdom. In the past three years, the territory has expanded more than five times.

    ¡°However, this also completely offended the indigenous people.

    Hundreds of small countries, including the Yamatai Kingdom and the Gounu Kingdom, united to resist the rule of Yangzhou.

    In the first confrontation, Gan Ning lost 30,000 soldiers because he underestimated the enemy. King Dongyang was furious and dismissed Gan Ning from his post. He appointed Ding Feng to lead the navy, and sent the victorious general Zhao Zilong to Dongzhou County to suppress the rebellion.

    "No wonder King Dongyang is absent-minded about the war in the Central Plains. It turns out to be because of this matter!" Jiang Ji suddenly had a realization.

    "Could this be King Dongyang's conspiracy?" Cao Cao asked warily.

    "My lord, how is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

    "One emperor through the ages!"

    "How was the Han Dynasty when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power?"

    "All nations come to court."

    "Yes, even so, the Han Dynasty can't help but control the lands in the Western Regions."

    The subtext is that it is normal for King Dongyang to be unable to do anything to Yamatai!

    "You are saying that King Dongyang is trapped in overseas expeditions and unable to advance westward?"

    No wonder King Dongyang didn¡¯t reply to the letter of challenge, everything is explained.

    "This is not what I meant, I just wanted my lord to refer to it for more reference." Jiang Ji quickly waved his hand.

    If there is a slight mistake in his guess, he cannot bear the responsibility.

    Therefore, when Jiang Ji spoke, he would always leave room for Cao Cao to imagine.

    "It's definitely not something a smart person would do to say something to death."

    Cao Cao was indeed affected by Jiang Ji's thinking and breathed a sigh of relief.

    "If King Dongyang doesn't come, of course that's fine."

    I can survive for a while again.

    Gan Xingba is a good general, but even he can't defeat Yamatai. Even if Zhao Yun is a victorious general, he won't be able to defeat him in a year or two.

    It is best not to deal with it and let King Dongyang conquer it himself.

    Cao Cao couldn't help but imagine a better future, and he finally had hope.

    "My lord, now is not the time to relax." Jiang Ji reminded, it would be fun if Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to take a vacation or something.

    "Don't worry, it's just that spring plowing cannot be delayed"

    Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate.

    All the strong men in the four states were captured by Cao Cao and sent to the army, so naturally there were fewer people farming.

    The so-called farming system means that everyone works together to farm, and soldiers are no exception.

    It¡¯s just that this year¡¯s situation is special, with nearly 600,000 troops deployed on the front line.

    As a result, there will be fewer soldiers farming, which will affect next year's harvest and tax revenue.

    Of course, we can also let the remaining 400,000 people continue to farm, and one person can do the work of two people.

    In the agricultural era, population was the primary productive force.

    When food production is low, it is very normal for a strong man to manage hundreds of acres of crops.

    The situation is getting better now, but it still requires a lot of manpower.

    Is it appropriate to let most of the sergeants patrol idle while a small number work hard?

    "Since ancient times, spring plowing has been an urgent matter." Jiang Ji also hesitated.

    Crops are very fragile. Once the season is missed, the yield may be reduced, or the growth may be impossible.

    "My lord, I have a plan, you might as well do the spring plowing yourself!"

    Cao Cao often did this kind of thing like planting an acre of land for show.

    "Aristocratic families, princes and nobles all maintain servants. It is a pity that these people are used to look after the family and the courtyard."

    Jiang Ji set his sights on the servants of a wealthy family.

    ??The king of Wei has gone to work in the fields, why don¡¯t you contribute a little?

    "Okay!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and agreed. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.

    A little hard work is nothing.

    So, under the leadership of Cao Cao, vigorous spring plowing began in the four states.

    The work was in full swing, and the princes and nobles came to an end one after another.

    Cao Pi and Cao Zhi wrote poems and essays praising Cao Cao.

    When Cao Zhen, the general who guarded Huguan, heard about Cao Cao's deeds, he was very moved and dispatched some troops to participate in spring plowing.

    He can¡¯t go to other places, but he can still go to several counties in Bingzhou.

    "Haha, Zidan has won my heart!"Cao Cao laughed and praised Cao Zhen in front of everyone.

    "Zi Dan is not only a general, but also a caring and considerate official for the common people!"

    "General Cao Zhen is hard-working and simple, and will definitely be able to make great achievements."

    Everyone followed Cao Cao and flattered him.

    Jiang Ji was ready, but he held it back.

    Cao Cao was busy with spring plowing, and Liu Ke was not idle either.

    "Where is Zilong?"

    "To inform my lord, Zilong has secretly arrived in Jizhou. One hundred thousand troops are intact." Guo Jiadao.

    "This matter can't be kept secret for long. Let Zilong decide on his own. I don't care how to fight. I only want him to win Huguan within a month!"

    Guo Jia couldn't help but frowned. Hu Pass was no weaker than Bishui Pass. It would be impossible to attack such a powerful pass without any real ability.

    "Our spies have found out that General Cao, the guard at Huguan, is really busy with spring plowing. Maybe we can start from here." Xun Youhui reported.

    Liu Ke nodded and said, "Let the Imperial Academy students cause trouble and provide cover for Zilong."

    As soon as this was said, everyone laughed meaningfully.

    In the next few days, because of the "defeat of Gan Ning", Taixue students wrote letters one after another, demanding severe punishment.

    The person currently serving as the Dongyang Order is Chen Deng, the former governor of Pingzhou, who is gentle and refined but very capable.

    "Students of Taixue, if you don't study hard, why will you cause trouble?"

    "Gan Ning was defeated, lost power and humiliated the country. Shouldn't he give an explanation to the world?"

    Liu Ke became the most powerful prince, and his fortune was in Yangzhou.

    People¡¯s wisdom is gradually opening up, and the sense of honor and disgrace is also something that academy teachers often talk about.

    "This matter will be decided by King Dongyang, please go back as soon as possible!" Chen Deng dismissed the Taixue students.

    Some people were unwilling to give in and called on enthusiastic students to parade on the streets.

    Things are getting bigger and bigger.

    "Haha, no wonder Liu Dingfang wants to send Zhao Yun to attack the Yamatai Kingdom. If they can't win, Yangzhou's backyard will be on fire." Cao Cao said cheerfully.

    "My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Hua Xin added.

    what chance?

    Of course it¡¯s farming!

    During this period, Cao Cao was always on tenterhooks and did not dare to put all his energy into spring plowing.

    Now that Yangzhou is in chaos, it¡¯s time for Cao Cao to free up his hands and concentrate on farming.

    The current constitution of the imperial court is to take over all the work.

    Although everyone has become a soldier, there are still many trivial matters.

    Spring plowing is one of the bigger ones.  Without farming, everyone would have nothing to eat.

    "Except for the troops stationed in Yingchuan, Yanzhou, and Bingzhou, all troops in other places must be mobilized!" Cao Cao ordered.

    Hua Xin sighed, Cao Cao was still too cautious. In fact, there was no need to keep so many frontier troops.

    Spring plowing is happening everywhere, and Huguan is the busiest.

    Cao Zhen was very hands-on and led the people to actively respond to the court's call and strive to complete spring plowing within seven days.

    This is his mission.

    Cao Cao has ordered him not to leave Huguan, but it doesn¡¯t matter, isn¡¯t there a lot of land in Huguan?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
