"Hahahaha, sir is finally back!"

"It makes me miss you so much!"

After Cao Cao saw Bai Feng, he immediately smiled and said.

Bai Feng smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you very much, King Wei, for your concern. I am deeply honored."

"Fortunately, I lived up to my command, severely damaged Shanyue, and successfully trained my troops."

"I have also collected a lot of information about Jiangdong."

Cao Cao immediately laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"As expected of you, sir! Come on, let's go to the city first!"

"I've already arranged a celebration banquet, and I'm just waiting for my husband to come back!"

"Thank you for your hard work, all the soldiers!"

Cao Cao was really happy at this time.

During this period, Cao Cao frequently went to Jiangdong to inquire about information.

However, there was no news about Bai Feng at all.

This is definitely a good thing, because Bai Feng's entry into Jiangdong was witnessed by Cao Cao's spies.

For five months, he lay dormant in Jiangdong without being discovered, which made Cao Cao admire him.

However, in Bai Feng's field, training is second, and the most important thing is to collect information about Jiangdong.

Although Cao Cao sent many spies to Jiangdong, most of them were disguised as ordinary people and had no access to Sun Quan's inside.

In this case, there is undoubtedly a lack of information.

"Sir, let's talk while eating!"

After sitting down, Cao Cao said with a smile.

No one else was invited to this banquet, only more than twenty people from Bai Feng's group were invited.

Among them, there were only the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun, Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, Qin Liangyu, and Jiang Wei.

Just after leaving Fancheng, Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang were taken away by the soldiers who came to meet them from Hanzhong.

If the two of them took off their disguises and were seen by Cao Cao, something might happen.

Sun Shangxiang is actually pretty good, and may not be Cao Cao's cup of tea, just like Qin Liangyu.

But that's not necessarily the case for Da Qiao.

Moreover, Cao Cao saw Da Qiao with his own eyes!

What's more, Sister Da Qiaosi is eager to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible.

And I had to come to Xuchang to report, so I had no choice but to do this.

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"Reporting to the King of Wei, the current movement in Jiangdong has gone south of Jiaozhou."

Cao Cao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this:

"Is this actually happening?"

Only Sun Quan, Liu Bei and a few ministers knew about Sun Quan's sending troops to the south.

The rest of the people had no idea where Sun Quan had sent his troops.

When the spy came to report, Cao Cao thought that Sun Quan had sent troops to Jingbei again.

Unexpectedly, I ended up going south!

Bai Feng nodded heavily and said:

"This Sun Quan wants to leave a way out for himself."

"He and Liu Bei had already sent people to inquire about the large and small counties and cities under King Wei's command, and they had already discovered the sudden increase in food."

"Therefore, Sun Quan specially sent troops to capture Jiaozhou, and then wiped out all the foreign tribes in the south."

"The purpose is to expand the territory. If our army marches south and they are unable to defeat us, they will move directly to the south."

"If this is the case, if the battle line expands to the south, our army's battle line will be stretched, and it will be difficult to catch up with them."

Cao Cao suddenly frowned and his face became a little ugly:

"Sun Zhongmou, Sun Zhongmou, I can't believe that you actually have this skill!"

Bai Feng smiled calmly and said:

"Don't worry, King Wei, I have already prepared a countermeasure."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"Oh? Sir, you always bring surprises to me."

"Tell me, what is the countermeasure?"

Thinking of the various black technologies developed by Bai Feng some time ago, Cao Cao became curious.

After all, the current Bai Feng is simply like a magician of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Bai Feng smiled calmly and said:

"To solve this, the most important thing is to solve the problem of food and grass transportation for our army."

"The carriage transport is slow, and the route is extremely long, and the baggage troops march extremely slowly. If this is the case, our army will not be able to extend the battle line too long."

"This is why during this period, I told General Ma Chao to stay put and not to attack the Qiang people first."

"Because when fighting the Qiang people, if they cannot defeat them, they will definitely run to the west. They will not be able to catch up by then, because the transportation of grain and grass and the arrival of reinforcements will take a lot of time."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.

Cao Cao knew about this problem early on. After all, he had been fighting for a lifetime, so he still understood this kind of thing.

"Could it be that Sir's plan can solve this transportation problem?"

Cao Cao asked after hesitating for a moment.

However, he had no confidence.

After all, if there had been a way, it would have been implemented long ago.

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"exactly."

"I wonder if King Wei still remembers Qin Zhidao?"

Cao Cao was sure and immediately smiled and said:

"How can this person not know?"

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"If we want to solve this problem, we need a road like Qin Zhidao, which runs through the entire Wei Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head heavily and said:

"Sir, I have thought about this method for a long time, but it is impossible to implement it."

"The construction of Qin Zhidao took a full two years and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources."

"If such a thing that wastes people and money is carried out alone, the Sun-Liu coalition will definitely know about it and will definitely wait for the opportunity to send troops."

"Gu, after all, he is still not as good as the First Emperor, who can unify the mountains and rivers."

Bai Feng smiled slightly and said:

"King Wei, this is my plan."

"That's how to build the Qinzhi Road. While building it, it will not affect the normal defense of the city by our soldiers."

"Besides, it's not a corvée."

Cao Cao suddenly became interested:

"Oh? How to do this?"

Cao Cao clearly remembered that Qin Shihuang recruited corvees extensively, which caused great dissatisfaction among the people.

At this time, Cao Cao did not want to follow suit.

Cao Cao himself is a person who doesn't like to be bound by rules, and he is also quite disgusted with these traditional things.

He sees things very clearly.

If corvees were to be collected, it would be a very fatal matter for the entire Wei Dynasty.

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"This matter can be left to all the merchants in Wei Dynasty."

“The method is contracting.”

"Let these merchants pay to recruit workers. As long as it is not the busy farming season, there will be a lot of strong men."

"If you take care of three meals a day and pay them back, there will definitely be a large number of strong men to do it."

Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head:

"Merchant? Since ancient times, merchants have been pursuing profits. It is a bit difficult to use merchants."

"What's more, asking them to pay directly is probably not feasible, right?"

Bai Feng nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"King Wei, businessmen are looking for profits, why don't we give them some profits?"

Cao Cao even disagreed and said:

"This is even more inappropriate."

"How can we allow businessmen to make money from the court?"
