Chapter 92: Huang Zhong has arrived, and the world is in turmoil [Seeking follow-up reading]

In October in Luoyang, the autumn atmosphere is bleak.

The streets were deserted, with leaves blown by the wind, like a dead city.

Dong Zhuo did not forbid Yuan Wei from coming to the Secretariat to handle government affairs, nor did he forbid him from sending and receiving messages.

It just restricted his freedom.

royal palace.

Yuan Wei was holding the message from Chen Ying.

It describes what Cao Cao did in Chenliu County after he left Luoyang.

Yuan Wei frowned slightly when he saw that Cao Cao had nearly doubled his army to ten thousand in just one month.

We also see that Cao Cao is trying to implement a military farming system.

As Yuan Wei thought about it, his brows furrowed even more.

You should know that the military farming system was originated by Cao Cao. It was his subordinates who suggested it, and he improved it and then decided to implement it.

There was no military farming system before him.

After him, it had an influence for thousands of years and was used by many dynasties.

Simply put, the military farming system is a collective agricultural farming system directly organized and operated by the state.

They are mainly divided into military settlements and civilian settlements.

Military settlements are a way for soldiers to reclaim wasteland, grow food and become self-sufficient when they are not fighting.

The military farming system solved many problems and addressed the root causes of social unrest.

The disadvantage of military farming is that it will cause certain safety risks.

If rulers and managers are not wise and fair, and do not pay attention to regulating and balancing interests, it may cause social contradictions and conflicts.

It may even induce civil unrest and endanger national security.

But overall, the advantages of the military farming system far outweigh its disadvantages.

Therefore, it can be used from generation to generation and is irreplaceable for a long time.

It was especially suitable for the chaotic late Han Dynasty, as the implementation of the military farming system could restore production, provide sufficient food and strengthen the army.

Solve the problems of military supplies and taxation and reshape social order.

Yuan Wei’s position is different from Chen Ying’s.

When Chen Ying saw Cao Cao trying out military farming, he felt it was a good idea that might solve some problems.

However, Yuan Wei had a far-sighted vision and vaguely felt that Cao Cao wanted to fundamentally restore the world's productivity.

If this system is fully implemented, the impact and reputation it will bring will be unimaginable... Yuan Wei's heart slowly trembled, and he read the message sent by Chen Ying from the beginning again.

In one month, there were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses.

If you want to raise an army, it does not mean to just recruit people, put on armor, and pick up spears.

What is needed is excellent training, and weapons and armor correspond to financial resources, military preparation capabilities, and so on.

The number that Chen Ying reported was an increase in military strength, but behind it was the reflection of Cao Cao's comprehensive strength in Chenliu.

How could it be so fast?

After reading the message, Yuan Wei placed one hand on the low mat in front of him.

Using Cao Cao to share Dong Zhuo's destructive power and reduce the pressure on Luoyang and the court was a strategy that Yuan Wei had already decided on.

After Cao Cao left Luoyang, the situation in the court took a sharp turn for the worse, which made Yuan Wei further realize that Cao Cao was the most suitable person to deal with Dong Zhuo.

This would in turn lead Dong Zhuo to attack Cao Cao. Regardless of the outcome, it would be beneficial to the Yuan family and Luoyang.

Yuan Wei quickly made up his mind to drive the wolf to devour the tiger, letting the two kill each other...

----

the next morning.

Cao Cao went to the parade ground to observe the training process of the troops led by Zhang Liao.

The martial arts training ground of Chenliu County was located on the outskirts of the city and was surrounded by land paved with gravel.

The army that had been formed in the past few months had part of it already started preliminary training in Qiao County, so after the personnel took over, they made rapid progress.

The troops roared and their might shook the heavens.

Even the clouds seemed to be blown away by a sharp breath.

After checking the military training, Cao Cao smiled and felt it was really exciting.

Near noon, he returned to the prefectural government to deal with various matters.

Diao Chan was grinding ink for him while Yin Ze lay on the low mat, fast asleep.

The afternoon is quiet.

After Cao Cao had dealt with the matters at hand, he inadvertently saw a copper box in the corner of the study. He suddenly remembered that it was the secret scroll of internal cultivation that he had seized from the homes of the Ten Attendants.

Some of the Ten Attendants wanted to develop a second time and add an egg to strengthen their foundation.

Cao Cao was so busy that he almost forgot about the box.

But since Diao Chan is here, it's obviously not convenient to watch it now, so I have to take a look when I have time. Cao Cao always feels that the content inside is not ordinary.

He picked up a scroll and checked the message on it.

It's about Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo became more and more trusting of Wu Qiong, He Yong, Wang Yun and others.

Wu Qiong and He Yong had made suggestions to Dong Zhuo several times, suggesting that some people be transferred to other parts of the country to take charge of power and help Dong Zhuo govern the country.

In this way, he would have more confidants and could consolidate his power.

Dong Zhuo agreed with this.

During this period, a number of people, such as Liu Dai, Kong Rong, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao and others, were sent to various places to serve as governors, prefects or inspectors, and to hold military and political power.

And these people were the backbone of the opposition against him later.

After they left Luoyang, they immediately severed ties with Dong Zhuo and went about their own business, controlling one side of the country.

The chaos in this world can no longer be contained.

Everyone was waiting for a small flame, and then they would jump up together and rebel under the banner of overthrowing Dong.

And that little flame is actually in Cao Cao's hands.

An imperial edict, whether true or false, announcing the campaign against Dong Zhuo would immediately attract a large number of followers, with countless people standing up together.

After reading the news from Luoyang, Cao Cao thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote an article on the Caihou paper in front of him.

His cursive script has a magnificent atmosphere, as if there are mountains and rivers hidden in it, and his strokes are like dragons and snakes.

Especially his literary talent, which has been improved in all aspects, including calligraphy, and his handwriting has reached the level of a divine work.

When Diao Chan watched him write, she could feel Cao Cao's heavy mood.

He wrote on the scroll: ... a monkey wearing a crown and a robe, knowing little but seeking to become powerful... he overturned the emperor's foundation and burned down the ancestral temples.

This poem is called "Xie Lu".

None of the poems written by Cao Cao, such as "Viewing the Sea" and "Short Song", are as magnificent and moving, or as majestic and powerful.

But it can relieve the anger in my heart.

It tells the story of the mutual attacks between the foreign relative He Jin and the favored eunuch Zhang Rang, like a monkey wearing a crown, wanting to do great things without any ability. The serious consequences led to Dong Zhuo taking advantage of the situation, committing treason, and reducing the ancestral temple and the country to ruins. Their evil deeds are too numerous to mention.

This content was also written by Cao Cao in history after he saw the tragic situation in Luoyang.

He also knew that Dong Zhuo would force the capital to move in the near future.

Luoyang, the greatest and most powerful city in the world, will be burned down.

The tragic situation in Luoyang and the scenes of changes in the world were churning in Cao Cao's mind, and he naturally put them into words.

The style of writing is simple, but the connotation is heavy.

Diao Chan understood the meaning, and with her own experience from Luoyang, she felt a little sad.

Cao Cao stopped writing and sighed.

At this moment, he felt concerned about the country and the people, and wanted urgently to do something.

Suddenly he felt a pair of small hands kneading his shoulders lightly. Diao Chan could see that he was in a bad mood and was kneading his shoulders.

Cao Cao reached back and pulled Diao Chan to the front, letting her sit next to him, half-sitting on his lap.

Diao Chan was overwhelmed with shame, but she did not struggle. After hesitating for a moment, she put her little hand into Cao Cao's.

She thought it was still the same as before, just a touch of hand would do.

Cao Cao looked at the most beautiful girl in the world.

She is at the age of budding, but her figure has already begun to show its gracefulness and charm.

Her long, straight legs were not plump but soft and boneless. Under her honey-colored skirt, a pair of white silk shoes were faintly visible.

Diao Chan shuddered as she saw Cao Cao taking off her shoes, followed by her white silk stockings, revealing a pair of delicate and small feet, a graceful arch, and a slightly light green instep, every part of her foot was exquisite.

Cao Cao held it with his warm hands and played with it casually.

Diao Chan's whole body trembled with shyness, and her delicate face turned red, making her even more extraordinary.

These little feet are so charming that it is indescribable.

Yin, who was standing by, woke up and watched with wide eyes. The tiger tilted its head and suddenly jumped in front of Cao Cao, offering him its big furry paws.

Cao Cao laughed.

It happened that a personal soldier was at the door and reported: "Sir, the people from Changsha have arrived. Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing want to see you."

Cao Cao said hello, helped Diao Chan, whose face was red all the way to her neck, put on her shoes and socks again, and smiled: "Come again next time."

Diao Chan could no longer suppress her shyness, so she walked out of the study in small steps and ran back to the inner house.

Yin chased her happily from behind, and in a blink of an eye he was far away.

Cao Cao stood up and went out to meet Huang Zhong in person.

He has always been eager for talent, and when some talented people and good generals that he likes come, he will not hesitate to welcome them and show them courtesy.

Ps: Tomorrow the heroes will fight against Dong, and the world will be in chaos from now on. Cao Cao will start to move. Please vote and read~
