"May I ask the general if he knows the population of the seven counties of Xinye, Nanxiang, Xiangyang, Shangyong, Hanzhong, Shouchun, and Wancheng in the south?"

Cheng Yu asked.

"This." The embarrassment in Yuan Shao's eyes flashed away when he heard the words. In his life, he didn't pay attention to the people of the world, and Cao Cao was the only opponent he took seriously.

Although he also hated Liu Feng from the south, but he really didn't know what was going on.

The courtiers under him didn't have much information from the leader.

Yuan Shao only knew that the population was probably one million.

"The five counties have a population of more than 300 million." Cheng Yu spit out the words that shocked Yuan Shao, and then Cheng Yu became even more powerful and said: "Please think about it, the general. How many soldiers and horses can a population of 300 support? At least 30. Moreover, Xiangyang has been operated by Liu Biao for many years, and the food and grass are unknown. If Liu Feng is cruel, this number may skyrocket again."

"It only takes a few months, and it only takes a few months to train so many soldiers and horses. Now, Cao Gong was dragged by the general in Hebei, and there is no way to return to the Central Plains. If the Central Plains, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou are completely If it is breached by Liu Feng, the rest will be Hebei."

Cheng Yu alarmistly said.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "That's Liu Feng, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, who will settle accounts after the fall. I'm afraid the princes of the world will have a hard time."

With a population of more than 300 million, the whole of Hebei is about the same.Then Liu Feng actually has the same power as him.

Yuan Shao was shocked at first, but then a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he sneered, "After all, you just want Gu to let Cao Cao go."

"That's right, cooperation will benefit both, and division will harm both. Let's regard it as the general who let our Duke Ming go back, and fight with Liu Feng and lose both." Cheng Yu didn't deny the words, and said boldly.

This last sentence moved Yuan Shao's heart.

Cheng Yu's alarmist words were alarming, but Yuan Shao also listened to them.Then Liu Feng became much stronger all of a sudden, and if Cao Cao were let go back, both sides would suffer.

Feeling flustered in his heart, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look around and asked, "What do you guys think?"

The officials were silent for a while when they heard the words, pondering their gains and losses in their hearts.In the end, Fengji was decisive, saluted Yuan Shao and said, "Yes."

The rest of the ministers did not object.

Yuan Shao suddenly lost his firmness before, and said loudly: "Okay, let's make peace. However, I have to return the lost Guandu captives."

"Three million people."

Cheng Yu said in one breath.It is impossible for Guandu to return 20 prisoners to Yuan Shao all at once.

"make a deal."

Yuan Shao felt that it was almost the same when he heard the words, and nodded fiercely.

"The general is wise." Cheng Yu bowed down.

Cheng Yu went out, causing Cao Cao to lose a price of [-] captives, and asked Yuan Shao to let Cao's army go south.Liu Feng had been preparing all along, and the storm he was worried about finally came.

Chapter 643 It's Done

In Yuan Shao, Hebei, Cao Cao was trading, Cao Cao retreated, and Yuan Shao took back the [-] soldiers he had lost.The transaction between the two parties was methodical, but not fast.

Because Yuan Shao did not see [-] captives entering the city, he would never let Cao Cao go.

In this way, although the two sides reached an agreement, Cao Jun still did not retreat immediately.

Xu capital city, the imperial palace, inside the side hall.

Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu received the news and reported directly to Emperor Liu Xie, while Liu Feng listened.After Xun Yu finished reporting on the situation in Hebei.

Liu Feng sneered, and said, "Then Yuan Shao is not a complete fool, knowing that letting Cao Cao go south at this moment is beneficial to him."

"It's good for Yuan Shao, but it's a disaster for us." Liu Xie said with a wry smile.

"Exactly, if Cao Cao's cavalry goes south in an all-round way, then our connection with Xinye may be cut off, and Yingchuan, Xudu, and Hulaoguan will all become lonely officials."

Xun Yu said worriedly.

"If you stick to the city, it is indeed hopeless. But the father has forgotten the two things that the emperor gave that day?" Liu Feng said with a slight smile.

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Of course I remember, how is the output now?"

"The stirrups have been made more than 6000 pairs, and the horseshoes are also being made. Father, would you like to see it?" Liu Feng said with a slight smile.

If that thing hadn't been built, Liu Feng wouldn't have been so relaxed.

With iron cavalry, you have the capital to reverse the situation.

"Oh, so fast?" Liu Xie's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Ah."

Liu Feng nodded, then walked out of the side hall, greeted Dong Xi who was standing outside the door, and said, "Go to the palace and take out the stirrups and horseshoes that were left alone in the study."

"No." Dong Xi promised, and immediately went down to get it.

Liu Feng turned his head and returned to the side hall.

"What exactly are your majesty and the general talking about?" Xun Yu didn't know what the specific problem was, and asked with interest after hearing the words.

"The emperor said that there are two things that can change the cavalry." Liu Xie said proudly, and then told Xun Yu the stirrups and horseshoes that Liu Feng mentioned.

"There is such a strange thing in the world?"

Xun Yu gasped when he heard the words. It is conceivable that if these two things really existed, they would be infinitely powerful.

"I think back then, there was no crossbow in this world. It was not made by man." At this time, Liu Feng had just turned back, and said with a smile after hearing the words.

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Xun Yu was suddenly enlightened and slightly delighted.If there is such a magical thing, their chances of winning will be greatly increased.

But soon, Xun Yu encountered another problem, he couldn't help but said: "If these two strange things can change the cavalry, and now Cao Cao's cavalry is the best in the world, what if it is obtained by Cao Cao?"

Liu Feng gave a secret compliment when he heard the words. During this period of time, he had already introduced the horseshoe and stirrup to Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and others, but only Xun Yu considered the consequences, he is worthy of being a wise man.

"That's right. If that's the case, wouldn't it be terrible?" Liu Xie was shocked when he heard the words, and frowned.

"People have no long-term worries, and there must be near-term worries. Let's solve the near-term worries first." Liu Feng said with a smile, how he thought about it at the beginning, and now he thinks the same way

Volume 162 Chapter 1292: Chapter 643 Completed (2)

After defeating Cao Cao and keeping Xu Du, let's talk about it. "What the general said is true. If the immediate victory cannot be guaranteed, then there is no point in worrying about the future." Xun Yu also said openly when he heard the words.

Not long after, Dong Xi came back.

He was holding two things in his hands, naturally they were stirrups and horseshoes.
