The Three Kingdoms were fighting for supremacy, but I was busy with GDPThe Three Kingdoms were fight

Chapter 249

Cao Cao admired and envied.

There was jealousy mixed in his emotions.

All kinds of emotions mixed together, making him feel such complicated emotions that he had never felt before.

He suddenly thought of a question.

"If the whole village is taken away, how many people are there in Tanghai County now?"

"Do you have to bring back thousands of people every time you go out to quell the rebellion?"

"Can you afford it?"

Various questions rushed out of his mouth continuously, making him extremely curious.

Even Xu Shu, who had no specific understanding of Tanghai County, was attracted by these questions.

Looking at Liu Yu, his face was full of expectations.

"The population of Tanghai County has exceeded 120,000 when we were away." Liu Yu put down his chopsticks in the expectant eyes of several people, and introduced it directly without covering up.

"Now, if we include the Zhongkang clan, and some people from Qingzhou and other places, the conservative estimate is that the number will reach 140,000."

"10...140,000?" Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched, "Not to mention the sparsely populated Youzhou."

"In a densely populated place like Yingchuan, it is considered a county of good size!"

"Chengzhi really has the ability to govern."

A glimmer of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

"I really want to go to Tanghai County if I have a chance."

"What exactly does it look like?"

"All the counties in the world are trapped by famine."

"But Tanghai County can go against the trend."

"Leading so many people to live a well-fed life."

"It's amazing!"

The emotion of admiration dominated Cao Cao's heart.

It brought back his idea of ​​becoming a capable minister in governing the world.

Having seen too much darkness in the court, he suddenly found Tanghai County.

It was as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

I don't know if it was the dawn of light that swept away all the darkness.

Still oppressed by the darkness, and finally swallowed up.

Cao Cao said with a complicated look: "I hope Chengzhi will not be affected by those people or those things in the court in the future."

"I can continue to live a good life with the people of Tanghai."

A look of loss appeared on Cao Cao's face.

Liu Yu looked at him, thinking.

"A capable minister in a peaceful era, a treacherous hero in a chaotic era." He said in a deep voice.

"Does Meng De like the first half or the second half of Xu Zijiang's evaluation?"

Cao Cao was stunned, but without much hesitation, he said with a firm look: "Of course I like the first half!"

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man."

"If you become a capable minister, you will do your best."

The resounding words made several Tanghai commanders feel a different side of each other.

It was completely different from the flexibility when he used clever words to appease the Luoyang cavalry.

There was actually a sense of righteousness on him.

This made several Tanghai commanders very curious.

How could such contradictory phenomena appear in one person at the same time?

They felt that someone with Cao Cao's work style would definitely become a traitor.

How could he be loyal to a minister?

Unbelievable.

"I hope Meng De will not forget his original intention." Liu Yu picked up the wine cup and said meaningfully.

"If there is such a day, I hope you will remember the heroic words you said today."

Cao Cao frowned, stared at Liu Yu, and was speechless for a long time.

Although the wine cup in his hand touched the other party, he still couldn't escape from his thoughts.

The wine went down his throat, and it was sour.

Cao Cao was in a complicated mood.

Liu Yu stood up neatly, "Give the order, take a break, and prepare to set off!"

"Yes!" Several Tanghai commanders responded and turned to work.

Cao Cao, sitting alone, stared at the back of the Tanghai County Magistrate who was going away.

Muttering to himself: "If there is such a day..."

He has always been smart, and his eyes gradually became complicated in combination with current politics.

…

Youzhou.

On the official road, a carriage with a team of more than a dozen people was heading northeast.

In the carriage, Cai Yan took out a document from her bosom.

The flying white script on the paper touched her heartstrings every time she read it.

After her father was exiled to the north, she was arranged to live with her future brother-in-law.

Living under someone else's roof naturally brought some unspeakable sadness.

She didn't know if she could see her father return alive, but she never gave up hope.

She wanted to work in the court through her sister's husband's family and try to get her father released from the north.

However, she never thought.

The father she missed day and night suddenly sent a secret letter.

This letter was transferred from her father's student Gu Yong and was originally sent to Gu Yong.

The moment she opened the letter, she froze in place.

The familiar flying white script, with her father's unique pen strokes.

Cai Yan burst into tears at the sight of it.

I thought,The letter was from Shuofang.

But she never thought that it came from Youbeiping County in Youzhou, a place called Tanghai County.

After reading the letter quickly, Cai Yan decided to secretly run to Tanghai County on the spot.

The last sentence in the letter, "The teacher misses Zhaoji very much", made her burst into tears instantly.

This matter could not be made public, so she prepared secretly.

Although the world was in chaos and there were yellow turbans making trouble.

But she carefully inquired about it.

She knew that the yellow turbans in Youzhou had been suppressed by the court, and the one who broke the yellow turbans was actually the county soldiers from Tanghai County.

Such news made Cai Yan curious about the small county town on the border.

She secretly took a dozen old slaves from her family, got on the carriage, and secretly left the city and headed north.

Fortunately, she did not encounter any danger along the way, and entered Youzhou.

Rushed to the northeast.

"Young lady!"

The old housekeeper in charge of driving the carriage said excitedly: "I just met an old farmer who said that the Youbeiping County is ahead!"

"It won't take long for us to reach Tanghai County."

Cai Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

Seeing some people with their families on the road, ragged but supporting each other, walking firmly towards the east.

They had encountered many such scenes on the road before.

After asking, they learned that they were all refugees heading to Tanghai County.

It is said that when they get there, the Tanghai County Magistrate can give them food.

Along the way, Cai Yan saw too many poor people digging wild grass and eating everything they could eat.

It was the first time she knew what the immortal soil was.

It simply refreshed her cognition.

There are actually people who are so hungry that they eat soil!

Such news overturned all her previous views on the poor.

In the past, in the mansion, she did not have a very specific impression of the poor.

I guessed that they just couldn't have food to eat.

But she never thought that the poor people in the world were so hard that she couldn't bear to look at them.

The matter of eating the immortal soil made her speechless for a long time.

After asking, those people insisted on going to Tanghai County.

She asked those people what to do if everything was fake.

Then die.

Anyway, they can't live.

The refugees' answers made Cai Yan silent.

The world is difficult and people can't live well.

Cai Yan tried her best to distribute some food to the refugees she met.

Although it was little, she received their thanks.

Such a scene made her silently pray in her heart that Tanghai County was the place in the rumors.

It could lead the poor people to live a good life.

Otherwise, she really didn't know how tragic and desperate these hopeful people would be when their hopes were completely shattered.
