Chapter 945 Cao Cao's Ecstasy
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty promises to me the important tasks in the south, I will definitely live up to what you wish."
Li Hui was also clever and immediately fell to the ground and said.
"The important task of the south is that Gu has already been handed over to one person. Even if you go through it, you will only assist that person. However, Gu can tell you that that person is very talented and only experience in the south. The real burden still needs to be handed over to you." Kou Feng said with a smile.
When Li Hui heard that there was already someone in the south, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, Li Hui's heart was also very calm and he quickly put away his hope.
He knew that as a Chu minister just now, he would definitely not be able to reach the top in one step.
Therefore, when Li Hui heard Kou Feng's second half, he said that the man was a talented man, but he was only trained in the south. From then on, he was the main one in the south.
Li Hui didn't seem very excited, he was very calm either.
"Okay." Kou Feng nodded when he saw it and praised secretly.
The south seems stable, but it is also very dangerous. The ten countries seem to surrender, but they also have their own ulterior motives. The other tribes and natives can be said to be poor and bad, and they are very complicated.
If a person is unstable, he may not be competent.
What Li Hui showed today has already made Kou Feng break away from the old historical impression, but actually saw a talent.
After Zhuge Liang, he was enough to take over the important task of the south.
It was not until this moment that Kou Feng truly felt at ease with the south. Zhuge Liang, Li Hui, and a large number of merchants. The Han people's development of the history of Southeast Asia began with Emperor Chu.
Immediately, Kou Feng and Li Hui said something more. Then, he personally led Li Hui to Situ Jiang Wan's official residence and asked Jiang Wan to draft official documents and appointed Li Hui as the chief historian of Zhuge Liang.
Sitting in Nanzhong with Zhuge Liang.
In this way, after the seal, official uniforms and other items were cast, Li Hui could leave Chengdu and go south.
Three days later, Kou Feng issued an edict, setting up checkpoints on the main channels between Nanzhou and the ten southern countries, with taxes of 20 and 1,000 percent of the interests.
It is already very cheap to only draw two-tenths of tariffs. In addition, the Chu army is on standby at any time to protect the merchants.
After the Chu State's strategy came out, it was basically not boycotted. The big merchants from all over the Chu State were very enthusiastic. Sixty or seventy merchants were willing to form caravans and explore southwards.
Although the number of people is only 60% or 70%, it is already an amazing power. After all, every big merchant has a very strong caravan, and thirty or forty merchants carry out this transaction, which has led thousands of people into the south.
When they return with a full load, more people will enter the south. When the real southern trade reaches its peak, there may be hundreds of thousands.
Those people may settle down in the south and reproduce. The culture of Chu State was exported and gold was earned.
It can be said that the blueprint for Kou Feng's invasion to the south has been established. Next, we must do our best to deal with the north.
In the first year of Xingba, winter.
The highest power of Chu State, Kou Feng, issued a period of entry into the north. Under Kou Feng's high pressure, the entire Chu State's state machine was operating with all its strength.
A series of Chu swords were produced, completely replacing weapons for the Chu army. A series of crossbows were produced as backup weapons.
Parts of armor were produced as armor for the eight thousand Pojun.
We are all preparing for the first year of Xingba, the season of winter attack.
The State of Chu was fully operating, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and Cao Cao in the north had no time. With the help of Cao Cao, Ma Teng and Han Sui quickly stabilized the interior.
The country quickly stabilized after selecting officials and setting up military garrisons.
In addition to stabilizing Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Cao also issued a order to seek talents again, recruiting a large number of poor talents to carry out national construction.
In addition to internal affairs construction, Cao Cao also ordered the construction of Wei Dao, and must equip the entire army. Make comprehensive preparations for the fight against the Chu army.
In addition to Wei Dao, there were also various armors. In addition, he cooperated with Ma Teng and Han Sui to buy high-quality Xiliang war horses from Xiliang and build a large number of cavalry again.
The entire state machine is also running at full speed, not slower than the Chu State in the south.
In this kind of full-strength operation, Cao Cao spent a lot of energy to be Duke of Wei. Because Wei is not as good as Chu, Chu was established by Kou Feng, and there was not much of it used the power of the great tyrants and the great gentry.
Kou Feng himself had a supreme position and respect in Chu State. Therefore, his willpower was unimpeded in Chu State. However, Cao Cao was different. On the way to establish the Wei State, he leveraged the power of many great gentry and great tyrants.
Therefore, in many aspects, they will not dare to act rashly on the interests of the great tyrants and powerful gentry, and they will be reluctant to turn their hands and feet. Cao Cao has to keep a close eye on it. Therefore, the energy he has put in is huge.
On this evening, in the study room in Duke Wei’s mansion.
After Cao Cao finished all the official duties, he was very tired and was about to get up and go back. But he saw Chen Qun suddenly walked in from outside, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
"Ming Gong, the intelligence from Chu State."
After walking into the study, Chen Qun said quickly, and then handed it to Cao Cao with the bamboo slips.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was excited when he heard this and took the bamboo slips from Chen Qun. Cao Cao attached great importance to the news about Chu and arranged a large number of spies in Chu.
No matter how big or small the matter is, they must be reported to Chen Qun, and then Chen Qun will delete it. If the matter is big or serious, they will be handed over to Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao knew that the records in this bamboo slip must be nothing small.
Even though he was prepared, when Cao Cao opened the bamboo slips, he saw that Kou Feng sold Chu's construction technology in Chu State to raise funds, and released large-scale merchants to explore the south.
Cao Cao still felt shocked.
Because Cao Cao got a lot of favorable information from this simple news.
First, the very powerful Chu State was still short of money. It can be concluded that the expenses of Chu State were also huge. Therefore, the construction technology of Chu Book had to be sold to raise funds.
Secondly, the Chu State made a major breakthrough in business development and went south. Cao Cao did not understand the situation further south, but he knew deeply that Kou Feng was definitely not the kind of targetless person.
Since a large number of merchants have been guided to move south, it means that there are huge interests in the south.
The above news confirms that the State of Chu is building and forging its arms on a large scale. Then, the war is not far away.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart was extremely solemn. Chu State, Cao Cao underestimated Chu State at the time, thinking that sending Cao Ren was enough to kill Kou Feng.
However, Kou Feng invited Pang Tong to come out of the mountain and used the Fire Bull Formation to destroy Pang Tong. This was the first time he failed.
The second time, Cao Cao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, thinking that he could kill Liu Bei, Kou Feng and Sun Quan. But in the end, Liu Bei and Sun Quan rebelled.
For the third time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei worked together to fight with Kou Feng. As a result, Kou Feng first killed Liu Bei in Jingzhou, then seized Jiangdong with Sun Quan, and then sent troops north to eliminate Cao Cao's forces entrenched in Yangzhou.
During this period, Cao Cao also put in a lot of effort, including famous generals Li Dian, Zang Ba, etc., but they were all destroyed by Kou Feng.
The fourth time, Kou Feng sent a large army to capture Shuzhong, and Cao Cao sent Man Chong to Shuzhong to create a craft for Liu Zhang to create a Wei sword, intending to cause trouble to the State of Chu.
As a result, Kou Feng still captured Shuzhong in a short period of time and stabilized. Man Chong's whereabouts are unknown since now.
The repeated failures made Cao Cao begin to treat Chu State extremely cautiously. Now, a war is about to go.
But this is just one of the reasons that shocked Cao Cao, and it is not an important reason. The most important thing is the news above.
Kou Feng raised funds by selling Chu books.
Cao Cao didn't know what Kou Feng was thinking. But he felt that this move was a big failure. What Cao Cao feared was not the powerful combat power of Chu State or the sharpness of Chu's sword.
Because at present, the combat power of Wei State is still strong. Wei Dao can also be compared with Chu Dao. Not only that, the power of Qin and Liang State is also dependent on Wei State.
The three-party alliance must definitely surpass the Chu State in combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Cao Cao was not afraid of Chu. What Cao Cao feared was that Kou Feng was young, which was too young compared to his. The second was that of Chu Shu.
The books of Chu were all circulated in the southern part of Chu, and Kou Feng personally invested and circulated. This method is good, and it eliminated the imitation of Wei.
With such a Chu Book, the talent training of Chu State is ten times stronger than that of Wei State. It is still impossible to see it now, but it can be seen in ten or twenty years.
These are the two things that Cao Cao really feared and the only two things that Chu State had the upper hand.
Now Kou Feng's technology of selling Chu Books on a large scale will definitely be leaked. It is very likely that the Wei State will get it, not very likely that it will definitely get it.
Kou Feng did this to cut off his arm. From then on, the only advantage of Chu State was Kou Feng to be younger. Compared with Chu Shu's power.
Kou Feng is much easier to solve when he is young.
For example, Kou Feng often leads troops outside and kills Kou Feng in front of Cao ***. In this way, both sides will reach the starting line, all of which are to look at the successors.
It is rare for Kou Feng to make a fool of himself and give up his skills for money. This is why Cao Cao was shocked and unable to do so.
"Go inform Ma Teng and Han Sui, telling them that Kou Feng's army may be dispatched this winter. Let them be careful. In addition, send spies to Chu State immediately to ask for the forging technology of Chu Shu."
After a burst of ecstasy, Cao Cao calmed down and calmly ordered.
"No." Chen Qun Yingnui said, and immediately went down to do things.
"As long as I get the manufacturing technology of Chu Shu, even if the war lasts for twenty years, at least if I die, my son will not be afraid of succeeding to the throne. As for the foundation of the Wei Kingdom I left behind, as long as I am not an incompetent person, I can stabilize the situation. Of course, if I can kill Kou Feng on the battlefield, it would be even more perfect."
After Chen Qun walked on, Cao Cao's heart was turbulent again, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
