"Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Ma Teng in Xiliang, and Liu Bei in Yanmen are all ready to attack, and they may launch an attack at any time. And the target of their attack is none other than Prime Minister Cao."

"hiss……"

Cao Anmin gasped when he heard that.

In the battle of Guandu, all the princes watched from the sidelines, but they did not expect that there would be a joint effort to defeat Cao.

Is it really because his halo is too serious that he has drawn hatred for the cheap uncle?

"Which road is the most difficult right now?"

"Jiangdong Sun Ce."

Chapter 312 Preparing for War

Above the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu led the Soochow Navy up the river, and the momentum was extremely powerful.

Since Cao Anmin made a big fuss in Jiangdong, Sun Ce deeply realized the shortcomings of the navy.Therefore, a lot of money was invested in the training of the navy and the building of warships.

Relying on Jiangdong's unique advantages, in just over a year, they restored the navy to its peak period, and the number of main warships such as building ships even far exceeded the peak period.

It is precisely because of the advantage of the navy that when they attacked Jiangxia, they were able to suppress Liu Biao, who was fighting in the local area, and had no power to fight back.

Looking at the calm river in front of him, for some reason, Zhou Yu's heart suddenly thumped.

"Great Governor." Zhou Tai and Ling Cao came quickly.

"The two generals came here in a hurry, is there something urgent?"

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Taijin said: "The plan to march into Xuzhou will eventually be considered inappropriate, and I hope the governor will think twice."

"That's right, the governor, the prefect of Guangling, Hu Lujin, and the prefect of Xiapi, Wang Anshi, are all talented in both civil and military affairs. They also have the courage of Lu Zhishen and Guan Sheng. Under heavy defense, these two counties can be said to be watertight. Cross the river and attack If the second county cannot be attacked by force, it will be extremely unfavorable to us, I hope the governor thinks twice."

Looking at the river in front of him, Zhou Yu said calmly, "Stand at thirty, and not be confused at forty. It took me only one year to help Bofu, and I conquered the 81 prefectures in the six counties of Jiangdong. After more than three years, I took an inch of merit as an example, and stayed in this small Jiangdong. Didn’t you two hear that it’s partial security to be trapped in Jiangdong, and if things go on like this, great things will be hard to come by. Now the enemy Cao Anmin has died in Yecheng, and it was us who Humiliation, the best moment to conquer Xuzhou, why do you build up the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige."

Jiangdong Xuzhou is a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred.At the beginning, if Cao Anmin hadn't attacked Jiangdong, with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's ability to lie dormant for several years, he would be able to stabilize the rear.

Now that Cao Anmin is dead, if they still keep going.

Once Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao and the north is unified, there is no room for them to survive.

"But, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. I've already submitted my lord. The army will return to Jianye to rest for ten days, and then prepare to attack Xuzhou."

Cao Anmin left Peijun and went straight to Xuzhou.Five days later, just arrived in Xuzhou city.

Compared with more than two months ago, the biggest difference now is that a large number of people are still silent in the shadow of Cao Anmin's murder.

Especially the lower class people, the more mournful their faces are.

Feeling the scene in front of him, Cao Anmin felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Since the implementation of the New Deal, the people in Xuzhou have finally benefited. Rice is widely planted throughout the territory. Although affected by the seasons, the output in the second season will decrease, but it is far more than the output of wheat and corn.

After one season, the yield per mu reached six shi for the first time.In addition to paying taxes, every household no longer has to worry about food.

It is precisely because of this that the common people respect Cao Anmin, the implementer of the New Deal, so much.Knowing that Cao Anmin was murdered, grief filled the whole of Xuzhou, not to mention, many people spontaneously built ancestral halls for him and paid homage to him.

Li Shimin's words can carry a boat or overturn it.Although it cannot fully explain the benefits of the support of the people, it also proves that without the support of the people, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

In Xuzhou today, unless all the people are slaughtered, no one can shake their rule.

Moreover, as agriculture continues to increase production and income, it is bound to reduce the proportion of agriculture in economic development.Coupled with Cao Anmin's vigorous promotion of Mohist studies and business development, even if capitalism will not be born, it will continue to promote Xuzhou's take-off.

The carriage circled the city for a while, and then returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Because Cao Anmin has a lot of talents under his command, the prefects of each county are all the talents who have been able to govern the country for 5000 years.The State Shepherd's Mansion, which was supposed to be the core, was actually weakened.

During the period when Cao Anmin left, Yao Guangxiao was in charge of the whole process, and the prefects of the counties were in charge of the whole process. All documents were decided by Yao Guangxiao and Chen Deng.

The Xuzhou family, except for Sanhan, are all preparing for battle.Therefore, before returning to the mansion, Cao Anmin went to the front yard first, looking for Chen Deng, and checking the latest situation in each county.

The current Chen Deng is not like the past.

Although the Chen family is becoming more and more low-key.But everyone knows that his low profile is an implicit high profile.

Yao Guangxiao is lazy, unless it is a big government affairs, he doesn't bother to manage it.All the complicated and trivial matters were on Chen Deng. Although he was dizzy from exhaustion every day, the aura of a minister in his body became stronger and stronger.

Unless he was with his father Chen Gui, when facing other people, Chen Deng's aura was enough to overwhelm him and make him breathless.

"My lord." Yu Wencheng informed Chen Deng first.Therefore, when Cao Anmin arrived, Chen Deng had already stepped forward.

"Yuanlong has lost a lot of weight. Chengdu, let Ge Hong get some supplements, and get some meat from Zizhong for Yuanlong to nourish."

"Obey." Yu Wencheng knew that the gift was just an excuse. In fact, Cao Anmin wanted to have a private conversation with Chen Deng, so he gave himself an errand.

Get out and close the door.

Chen Deng thanked him again and again.

Cao Anmin pulled Chen Deng to the table, and a large number of bamboo slips were piled up like a mountain.

"I know that the first thing my lord will do when I come back is to ask about my preparations, so I took Zizhong and the others to check all the things in each county two days ago, and now they are all here."

"I can't finish reading so much at once, so just give me a general idea. Have you ever had enough food, grass, and military equipment?"

"Don't worry, my lord, both of these are extremely sufficient. Even if this war is protracted, the supplies I have hoarded in Xuzhou will be enough to consume for a year or two." Xuzhou's joint business with a family is not just for fun.Even though the struggle for hegemony among the three Koreas cost some money, for Xuzhou today, that money is just a drop in the bucket.

Right now, the grain, grass, and military equipment in all counties are constantly gathering, and all the soldiers and medicinal materials are also distributed. As long as Cao Anmin gives an order, the army can be dispatched immediately.

"Very good. I have Yuanlong, so there is nothing to worry about. After this battle, if Yuan Shao can be eliminated, I will definitely go to the emperor to add officials and ranks for you."

"Thank you, my lord." Chen Deng doesn't really care about titles, he values ​​reputation more.

In Xuzhou today, he seems to be the second person after Yao Guangxiao, and even in many cases he is No.1.

Under his fame, he no longer complained about being underappreciated as before, and he admired Cao Anmin all over.

"In this case, immediately take my warrant and send it to the counties, so that the guards of the counties will come to Xuzhou immediately to discuss the military situation."

"Subordinates obey."

Chapter 313

Although there were only two days, Cao Anmin had to leave again, and the time left for his family was too short.

After nearly two months away, it's only been two days since I came back. It's a little strange that my daughter hasn't seen Cao Anmin for several months.
