Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 334: The court is discussing matters. Does the Northern Patrol need food and grass?

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. When I returned home in May, Zhang Wu was in high spirits.

A successful young man, a high official and a generous salary, accompanied by a lovely wife and concubines, spends his free time flying eagles and running dogs, walking birds and fighting cocks, so happy.

A majestic military god, Xianfu turned into a playboy during his days in Yecheng.

If there were no hustle and bustle of the world, Zhang Wu would not feel that this kind of leisure is valuable.

The world is in chaos and wars have been going on for years. Only when you take a break from your busy schedule can you feel comfortable.

That is to say, in Chuping, Northland, Boss Cao has emptied his money bag and will not be able to go south in a short time. Otherwise, he would have gone into battle long ago.

On this day, Zhang Wucai woke up from his sleep and heard from his servants that the King of Wei was looking for him to come to court to discuss matters.

It’s not surprising that Cao Cao summoned Zhang Wu every three days.

But unlike usual, Zhang Wu never got involved in politics. It is true that there was only one situation when he went to court to discuss matters.

——There is going to be a war.

Cai Yan and Diao Chan dressed him in regular clothes without much reluctance on their faces.

Compared with previous years when he was away from home and fighting for many years, Zhang Wu stayed at home for too long after Guandu.

Even women who are not familiar with state affairs and only listen to external rumors know that their husbands belong on the battlefield.

A life that is too comfortable will only wear down his will.

Before going out, Zhang Wu hung up the Heavenly Sword and headed for the palace.

After two years of work, the Emperor's Palace was finally completed, as was the Wei Palace.

In terms of scale, there is no specific difference between the two palaces.

There is only a palace wall in the middle. Once the wall is removed, it is estimated that it will be the time when Boss Cao ascends the throne.

"General Hussars, the champion has arrived~"

As the palace people sang and drank at the top of their lungs, Zhang Wu entered the palace with a treaded sword.

Because it was not a formal court meeting, not all the ministers were present.

The huge Deyang Hall does not seem crowded.

Liu Xie sat on the throne like a puppet, and Cao Cao sat on one side of Liu Xie. It was as noisy as a vegetable market below, and all the counselors were already quarreling.

After Zhang Wu looked around the hall, he did not stand at the second position on the left that belonged to him. Instead, he walked in the right direction.

"Idiot Guo, how does it feel to be appointed as Tai Chang?"

Guo Jia is wearing a crown uniform, which is a bit funny because of its unusually wide size, like a monkey wearing a crown.

Ignoring the joke in Zhang Wu's words, he sighed: "My lord has indeed found you. It seems that this time the Northern Patrol did not escape."

"Northern patrol?" Zhang Wu suddenly became more energetic: "Tell me about it."

"My lord wants to patrol the territory of the northern defense line and scare the foreigners, because this matter has been quarreling all morning."

"This is a good thing. What's the fuss about?"

Cao Cao's original dream was for peace in the north and peace in the world.

Now the north has been decided and the general trend has been achieved.

The territory spans You Bingliang, Qingxu, Yanyu, and Sili Guanzhong.

Nine out of the thirteen states in the world.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that any promising king would also like to inspect his territory.

Guo Jia spread his hands and said, "We have no money. If we use weapons again, there will be a shortage of grain and grass stored in Yecheng."

"Bang!~ I take this as a big deal. The expedition to the Central Plains may result in a lack of food and grass, which will scare the foreigners."

Zhang Wu paused, grinned, and stepped out to interrupt the commotion in the court: "King Wei, the last general has something to say, and I won't be happy if I don't say it!"

"Don't show off, tell me quickly." Although Cao Cao's tone was serious, there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhang Wu had never let him down when it came to following his wishes.

Zhang Wu bowed his hands and said: "In view of the King of Wei's northern patrol, I will ask you to be the commander of the army. I only need one battalion of cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and more than one month of food and grass. I will protect the King of Wei from Lelang in the east of Youzhou." , patrolling all the way to Zhangye, Liangzhou in the west."

"General Hussar! The safety of the King of Wei is related to the stability of the world. Do you think you are in trouble in the north? If there is a slight mistake, it will be irreversible!"

Zhang Wu was still wondering why Guo Jia didn't come out to speak for Boss Cao at this time. The person who led the opposition for a long time turned out to be Guo Jia's father-in-law Cheng Yu.

In the past, radical militants were the masterminds, but now they are looking forward and backward. The contrast is too great.

Zhang Wu can understand this.

When Cao Cao first raised his army, he had only a small number of generals, so it was appropriate to take risks at that time.

As the territory becomes larger and larger, and the status becomes higher and higher, the surrounding opinions become less and less like that.

After all, the safety of Boss Cao now has a bearing on the general trend of the world.

Even the radicals have become conservative.

However, this man had better not forget his original intention. Just because Cao Cao's safety was important, he could not go against his will and force him into Yecheng.

This is not the way to be a minister.

Besides, Cao Cao was a great leader. Can his decisions really be blocked by his advisers in just a few words?

"Don't you believe me, Mr. Zhongde?"

"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief. The matter is serious and requires more discussion."

Zhang Wu curled his lips: "No matter how fast you discuss it, there will be no results until next year. If you have any questions, tell me, and I will answer your questions."

"The Cavalry General has no knowledge of political affairs. I can't tell you about this."

Cheng Yu is senior and has a hot temper, so many people in Cao Wei would give him three points.

But Zhang Wu was definitely not included.

Compared with his seniority, he had already surrendered to the army when Cao Cao launched an army to attack Dong. At present, more than half of the prominent generals in Cao Wei's army have served as deputy generals under him. His qualifications are definitely above Cheng Yu's.

Comparing his merits, Zhang Wu never stopped fighting in the south and north. His footprints can be found everywhere on the territory of Kyushu, and his achievements are unparalleled.

Based on these two points, apart from Cao Cao, there is no other person in the world who can make him give in.

"Don't bother me with political affairs. It's just the Northern Patrol. It's just political affairs. You are worried about not having enough food and grass. I only need one month's rations for the army of 25,000 people. You are worried about the safety of King Wei. With me as your guarantee, there is no one in the world. But it hurts my father-in-law. Is there anything else? If not, the matter is settled like this."

Cheng Yu snorted coldly: "More than a month of food and grass? How can I support the army from Lelang to Zhangye with more than a month of food and grass!"

"Hey, what you're asking is interesting. Idiot Guo, I'll give you a chance to show off. Come and tell your father-in-law how I traveled from Lelang to Zhangye with more than a month's worth of food and grass."

Guo Jia lowered his head, not looking at Cheng Yu's cannibalistic eyes, and turned his head to cup his hands.

"Father-in-law, Taishan, don't you see where the fatness of Bingzhou's cattle and sheep comes from? Not to mention more than a month's rations, if you only give this guy three days' rations, he can still complete the northern tour."

It’s not easy to run out of food and grass, just grab it.

When Zhang Wu was fighting in the Central Plains, he still looked like a human being. When he arrived in the northern grasslands, he was like a jackal and a bandit with a sword in his mouth, and he had no scruples at all.

The Central Plains will become poorer with more wars, but outside the Han Dynasty, they will only become richer with more wars.

What's there to worry about?
