Yan and Yu are the strategic blueprints that Xun Yu has planned for Cao Cao for a long time.

It is the starting point for dominating the Central Plains, serving the Emperor and supporting the Han Dynasty.

Now that the ambition of Yuan Shu forces intend to seize Yuzhou, how could Xun Yu, who has always cared about the Han Dynasty, agree?

Therefore, with his strong suggestions, Cao Cao's intention to send troops to fight for Yuzhou.

As for the food and grass problems, Xun Yu did not show any concerns. He firmly believed that with Cao Cao's ability, he would not give up the land of a state for such difficulties.

This matter will inevitably be resolved.

All matters have been discussed and settled.

The civil and military people also slowly retreated.

At this moment, a young man who was about 20 years old, eight feet tall, with a sharp sword hanging on his waist and powerful arms was hinted by Cao Cao. After leaving, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people and returned.

Afterwards, Cao Cao just stepped back and closed the door.

After the remaining two people in the palace, he sat on the ground with the young man and asked slowly:

"Ade, how is the tomb robbery going?"

As soon as this said, the young man thought for a moment, then bowed and replied solemnly:

"Your uncle, after months of mining, my nephew has stolen nearly ten cemeteries of high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as princes and princes, and countless gold, silver and treasures have been collected!"

"If my uncle wants to use this to buy the food and grass for the troops sent this time, it will definitely be more than enough according to my nephew's budget."

After the words came, Xiahou De couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a worried look on his face: "But my uncle is now at frequent wars in the world, and food and grass are not sold in all states and counties. Even if you have money, can you get the food and grass you need?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, he was also far-fetched and had some views on the current situation.

In his opinion, all the princes are short of food and fodder at present.

Even if they have gold, silver and treasures, they may not be able to exchange for food.

As we all know, in war-torn times, food is much more important than money.

However, after hearing what Xiahou De said, Cao Cao was still a little happy at this moment.

Xiahou De was able to see this enough to show that he had some insight.

After saying that, Cao Cao looked at him with an extremely serious look and said slowly:

"Don't worry, this matter will turn around."

After these words fell, Cao Cao felt a strong sense of confidence.

"At worst, I'll just buy grain from Brother Yuan Shao from Jizhou."

Hearing this, Xiahou De couldn't help but ask:

"Food and grass are important strategic resources. Even though my uncle has benefited a lot from the relationship between Yuan Shao now, is he really willing to accept this favor?"

"This matter is certain for my father. This battle was originally intended to resist the intention of Yuan Shu in Huainan to be involved in the Central Plains. He could not help but control the strategic areas to form a situation where one can attack and retreat or defend."

"Yuan Shao is now in an extremely fierce battle with Gongsun Zan's army to compete for the Hebei prefectures. He obviously cannot come to the Central Plains in person."

"As his friend in the Central Plains, he could only entrust me to protect against Yuan Shu. If I lack military rations for sending troops, how could he not provide funding?"

Xiahou De was the son of Cao Cao's brother.

However, when his father followed Cao Song and his family to Yanzhou, he was killed by Tao Qian's general Zhang Kai through Xuzhou and Cao Song.

Xiahou De escaped by chance and fled back to Yanzhou at night.

Although his father passed away, Cao Cao took great care of this junior.

Stay carefully by your side and teach yourself.

I hope to cultivate it into a unique talent.

During this period, due to the destruction of Yanzhou, the entire Cao family group faced a poor and down-and-out situation and lived a very difficult life.

In order to support the military farming and the military expenditure issues between soldiers.

Cao Cao did not hesitate to dig out a secret project.

That is, the establishment of a lieutenant of the gold-touching school and fully arranged Xiahou De to be responsible.

Since digging the grave to steal finances, this is not a glorious thing. If it is spread out, it will inevitably have a great impact on reputation.

Therefore, Cao Cao also handed over this important task to his nephew personally supervised it.

His original intention was to cultivate Xiahou De.

Now seeing the many puzzled doubts on his face, Cao Cao naturally answered them carefully.

With Cao Cao's explanation, Xiahou De then understood his intentions, and naturally he was no longer worried about food and grass.

"This time my uncle personally confronted the attack of Yuan Shu's army. Where are we going south?"

Since the problem of food and grass was solved, Xiahou De was not the one who had been struggling with this problem, so he began to discuss the next march deployment with him in a noble manner.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao also showed a relaxed and free expression on his face, so he also wanted to take the exam, so he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what Ade thinks?"

After his uncle asked a question, Xiahou De solemnly pondered, he bowed and said in a deep voice: "My nephew thinks that our army will go directly to Liang Kingdom directly through Jiwu City south of Chenliu."

"Liang Guo?"

“What is Ade’s opinion?”

"Uncle, according to my nephew's opinion, our army will have many benefits to the Liang State."

"First of all, the Liang State is located in the south of Chenliuyi and is closely connected with the Chen State in the west. If our army can quickly occupy the Liang State, it can quickly gain a foothold in Yuzhou."

"In this way, there will be capital that is stalemate with Yuan Shujun, and we can start an early confrontation with him for the sake of Yuzhou."

"This will be the biggest advantage for our army."

Xiahou De talked with an extremely sharp expression with an extremely calm face.

At this moment, even Cao Cao, who had always been as stable as an old dog, couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

According to this, Xiahou De really has the potential to cultivate.

He had already predicted that in the future, Cao's family will have another rising star.

But this statement has not yet been finished.

After pondering for a moment, Xiahou De couldn't help but continue:

"This is just one of them. What's more important is that if our army wants to go south from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, except for entering Liang State through Jiwu, the remaining passage is Kuangting along the Ji River bank and entering Yingchuan County."

"Then we head south through Xuchang, Yangdi and other cities to reach the Chen State."

"But this road took a long time, and the extension of the road distance also doubled the pressure on the logistics food route."

"I'm afraid this is not what my uncle wants to see."

"What's more, Li Jue, the rebel who is currently in charge of the court, took advantage of the situation to take over the situation and arrange for the governor of Yuzhou Guo Gong to take office."

"And during this period, Guo Gong has been vigorously developing Yingchuan to develop this place as the foundation."
