Cao Cao groaned, without saying anything.

Guo Jia sneered and said, "Brother Gongda only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

"I hope to hear the details."

"I heard that the city had been in chaos, and the generals had already lost peace and was in chaos. Lu Bu's subordinates, now the people of Bingzhou surrender, Yanzhou is in charge of war, Chen Gong and other Yanzhou generals and generals in Lu Bu's army have already reached the point of not hesitating to fight. It was because our army was here that they barely worked together. Our army retreated, and maybe they would fight to death before we could fight."

So Xun You looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao nodded after hearing this, "Long time before my father-in-law came to Xuzhou, Lu Bu's Yanzhou faction, Xuzhou faction, Danyang faction, and Bingzhou faction were indeed full of conflicts. It is hard to say about other factions. The soldiers of the Bingzhou faction have indeed had the intention to surrender. Since they followed Jinwu to Beijing, the soldiers have been wandering for more than ten years and have not wanted to be enemies with the court to be rebels."

"For this reason, most of Lu Bu dared not go out of the city to fight. If he went out of the city to fight, the main force would be the Bingzhou cavalry. If he left the city, he would not be sure what would happen in the city."

When Xun You heard this, he frowned slightly. He knew that the generals in Xia Pi City did not agree with him, but he really didn't know that he had lost his peace to this level.

Of course, it is normal for Guo Jia to know this news. He is in charge of the school affairs office. If the city has really reached the point of fighting, he would not know that he was dereliction of duty. However, such news, as the master, he would not know.

For a moment, Xun You didn't know whether Guo Jia didn't want to tell him, and wanted to have a conflict with him and steal the limelight, or whether Cao Cao no longer trusted him and no longer wanted to give him advice.

As for the so-called harm to the sky and such reasons, I don’t care about it now.

Of course, at this time, in Xia Pi, Lu Bu's army saw that the Zhang Liao army's flags had already been erected outside the city, and the morale, which had already fallen to freezing point, could not help but fall further.

Lu Bu had to appear again in the city camp and patrols, to cheer up the morale of the army, but the results were only slight.

And just when Lu Bu was almost desperate, the main force of Cao's army actually left?

It really made Lu Bu look confused.

……………………

At this time, Liu Xie, who was far away in Nanyang, was dedicating his military power and trying every means to offend the nobles and powerful people, naturally did not know that, except for him, most of the civil and military officials in the court could see the so-called capital movement from his actions.

For this reason, Cao Cao had inexplicably given up the victory that was about to be won, and returned to the court.

He has now devoted himself to the great cause of farming and can no longer extricate himself.

It can not only do practical things for the people at the bottom, but also help abdicate. Ah~ Finally, there is something I want to do well and will not do more wrong things by mistake!

To be honest, he is really good at this, because he was a science student in his previous life and was very good at basic physics.

So after seven days of retreating for a long time, I finally drew a design drawing on the design drawings, a large windmill and a large water wheel that can easily help irrigate and grind wheat grains.

So he personally summoned the craftsmen to make samples of these two things overnight, and was busy.

I haven't done this before because I am afraid that he will be praised as a wise ruler because of this thing, which will affect his abdication.

Now, since he figured out the relationship between the powerful, the people, and the imperial power, he has become more and more free.

Praise, the more the people praise me, maybe the more the rich people will scold me. The super-large windmills and water trucks he designed are really big, both of which are more than ten meters high. This thing is not suitable for small peasant economy at all. A pavilion or even a township may not be built together, and it is not practical and has very low utilization rate.

Only those with a scale of more than 10,000 people and super-large collective farming projects will use these things more practically.

If this thing is promoted to other places in the future, a large county with a population of more than 10,000 households may only create two or three sets of such things in the whole county. For generally smaller counties, one county may only create one set and put it in the county town.

This is a disguised strengthening of the government's centralized management!

Even if some powerful local powers, such as Li Dian and others, have the ability and economic benefits to build them, can they simply forcefully pass administrative orders and not allow them to build them?

There is no possibility of secretly creating such a big thing.

The government's influence has been strengthened, isn't the influence of the powerful? Of course they will hate me! You must know that the powerful is the real backbone of the Eastern Han society!

By the way, Liu Xie also designed papermaking and printing technology, and planned to do it when he returned to Xu Du.

The windmills and waterwheels offend the powerful, and the papermaking and printing offend the gentry. The specifications of the gentry monopolize the official position by monopolizing knowledge? The literacy rate these days is so low.

Then I will find a way to make everyone in the world have books to read, and I will not be afraid of not having books and seals at that time. Don’t you all have families to learn from? I forcefully ordered every household to hand in one copy, and then print it all for everyone in the world to read. Don’t you hate me to death?

Then, will I become a lonely emperor?

Even if I write it into history books, I, as an emperor, will be able to end up being a ruthless emperor who will be punished for the present and will be of great success.

Ah, I feel so happy even if I think about it.

If this continues, as long as I wait for another two years, I can abandon the imperial examination and promote the imperial examination.

What aristocrats or powerful men, I will throw you away directly.

What is this called reform?

In the administrative reform plan, he had already thought of countless tricks in his little head to offend those vested interests. When he returned to Xudu, he would do it drastically.

Even if Liu Xie lacks historical knowledge, he also knows that reform measures such as this serious damage that shakes the foundation of society and touches almost all vested interests will not have a good end, regardless of success or failure.

Is this abdication still far?

Ah, I feel so happy when I think about it.
