After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.

Not only them, but also the staff members of the staff who were full of military plans and planned to show their strength.

"Your Majesty, what Master Cao said..."

"Cai Degui and Meng De are young friends. Back then, after I pacified Hebei, Cai Degui sent someone to find Meng De to reminisce about the past and tried to get in touch with me. After that, he repeatedly passed on the news from Jingzhou to me, and even attracted Zhang Yun to secretly surrender to me. These two people would not resist. Once the army arrived, they would inevitably surrender to the city."

Guo Peng answered Xi Zhong and Guo Jia’s doubts.

"There is such a thing..."

Xi Zhong was a little surprised, but then he thought it was reasonable.

Guo Jia remembered the Kuai Yue she met before, and contacted Kuai Yue's attitude. At that time, he just wanted to win over Kuai Yue, but he didn't expect that someone had already walked far ahead of everyone.

It seems that Guo Peng has not penetrated the entire Jingzhou area by Guo Peng...

This kind of thing is amazing, but it is something that is actually happening.

"In this way, the Central Plains army and General Zhu's army could obtain Nanyang County and Xiangyang City without any effort. In this way, the army could march straight into Jiangling!"

Guo Jia pointed to the military situation on the sand table, directly replaced the Jingzhou soldiers in Nanyang County and Xiangyang with the Wei army's war chess, and then pointed directly at Jiangling.

"The situation has been finalized. Liu Biao will lose Jingbei within a month. He must escape to Jingnan. However, after the war, Liu Biao's foundation is unstable and it is impossible to attack us with Jingnan as the foundation. He can only keep running away, and may even escape to... Jiaozhou!"

Guo Jia pointed at Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou, the southernmost part of the Han Empire, was also the least existence. He did not even deserve a name in front of the heroes of the Central Plains who were fighting for hegemony. His status was very embarrassing, and he seemed to have not been recognized uniformly.

In terms of population and the number of land cultivated, it is estimated that even a large county in the Central Plains is not as good as that on the map. It seems to be very large, but in fact, the jurisdiction area set up by the Han government can only be controlled around the city.

The others are the territory of some local local kings, nominally the Han territory, but in fact they do not pay a penny of taxes. They are said to be semi-autonomous, but in fact they are independent kingdoms. The Han government's ruling foundation in Jiaozhou is extremely weak.

That is, when Qin Shihuang was very talented and had a strong power. When he sent 500,000 troops south to expand his territory, he injected the genes of China into this land. However, for the past four hundred years, he did not continue to promote culturalization based on Qin Shihuang.

The short-sightedness and greed of the powerful landlord class are fully reflected in this incident.

I know that I have seized the developed land and disdained the vast undeveloped wasteland and just pretended it did not exist.

Therefore, development still depends on the government, not the private sector.

But sometimes the government is unreliable.

The Western Han government was strong enough, but its energy was focused on dealing with the grassland nomadic peoples in the north. The Eastern Han government directly degenerated into a small government, and even the war was difficult, let alone development.

So this matter ended up falling on Mr. Guo.

While wiping the Eastern Han Dynasty, fighting with the gentry, the powerful and brave, and safeguarding the interests of themselves and the common people.

While picking up Qin Shihuang's unfinished career, he continued to develop and broaden the living space of the entire nation.

It’s really too difficult for Mr. Guo to be.

"Jiaozhou... we don't seem to have sent Jiaozhou an edict to ask them to pay tribute? Will Jiaozhou still not know that I have already claimed to be emperor? Who is responsible for this matter?"

Guo Peng suddenly remembered this incident.

That's right, because he ignored Jiaozhou too much, Guo Peng even forgot to send an edict to Jiaozhou, but then again, he didn't even know who Jiaozhou is in power, so what else would he say?

“…………”

Xi Zhong and Guo Jia didn't know about this. For this, I would like to ask Guo Pengxin's appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs Xin Pi, instead of asking them.

And then again, in such a remote place, maybe it’s a group of primitive people, what’s there to care about?

After packing up Liu Biao, are you still afraid that Jiaozhou will not accept it?

There is no King Zhao Tuo of Nanyue in Jiaozhou now.

However, it is hard to say that the wilderness land is very fierce, and the economic benefits of these places were very low before it was developed. During the Central Plains, Jiaozhou was almost the only pure land in the world, because no one would think of attacking him.

Guo Peng asked the eunuchs to pass the order to Xinpi, asking Xinpi to start investigating who the current ruler of Jiaozhou was, and then report it.

There is almost no problem in solving the problem of Jiaozhou. The only problem is how to prevent Liu Biao from escaping to Jiaozhou. If he really wants to escape, it will definitely be a disaster. If he can catch it, it must be seized. In addition, whether Liu Zhang will send troops to help is also a problem.

However, after a little discussion, everyone reached an agreement - it was useless.

If Liu Zhang came, then come. If he went north to Hanzhong, then beat him in Hanzhong. If he came directly to Jiangling, he would beat rabbits and beat them. They would not be able to do anything to Guo, let alone the more powerful Guo and Wei Empire than at that time.

So there is no need to worry about anything at all. It would be better to worry about it. It is not Guo Peng, but Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.

As for the moment, Liu Zhang's proclaimed emperor and Liu Biao's proclaimed king spread within the territory of the Wei State, but it did not cause any disturbance. As for the kind and lofty people in the world who attacked Guo and Wei, they only existed in their imagination.

It is a great gift to give these refugees a safe home, a piece of land and some seeds of farm tools and food.

The grassroots township and village chiefs will also often preach to them the gifts of the great Emperor to them. Guo Wei is really heartfelt.

Compared to the illusory restoration of the Han Dynasty, it is still more popular to eat the food in its mouth.

The reason why these news can be spread to the Central Plains is also the business of merchants. Linziying is not a good meal. If there were spies to cause trouble, Linziying would have taken action to wipe out them.

And at present, the ecological conditions of the grassroots level of Wei State are completely different from those of Liu Biao and others. The villages in the military farms account for the majority, and the manors in the powerful do not account for the majority. It is not easy to buy the powerful and raise the army to cause trouble.

Moreover, Guo Peng has made great efforts to improve traffic conditions and has innovated the backward traffic conditions in the late Han Dynasty. Those spies in Jiangnan who want to contact the so-called lofty and ambitions will probably not find a way.

It can still be spread in this case, which can only be said to be the credit of the business traveler.

Although the war photos are being fought, the caravan still needs to be done and the economy still needs to develop. Guo is doing business himself, so others will naturally do business, bringing what the southerners need to sell to the south, and then exchanging what the northerners need.

For example, the famous Shu brocade.

No matter how Guo Peng's relationship with Liu Zhang deteriorated, the supply of Shu Jin has never been cut off.

The wealthy families in Shu and Shu Han officials liked the standard Wuzhu coins cast by Guo Peng very much, and the official Guo Wei officials also liked Shu brocade very much. The dress used by Guo Peng ascended the throne was purely made of Shu brocade.

Although the two sides have no exchanges at the military and political level, there is still exchanges in economic and cultural aspects.

Moreover, the borders of this era are not the Berlin Wall. They are not as clear as those on the map, nor are they satellite surveillance. No one knows that they come here, and they will not build a border wall to prevent smuggling. It is just a big concept.

Otherwise, Guo Peng would not have won most of the scholars in Jingzhou to his own side by using a ritual, and directly destroyed the culture of Jingzhou.

So the news that Liu Zhang became emperor and Liu Biao became king also came with the caravans. The news that the two called on the benevolent people of the world to rise up and resist the pseudo-Kuo Wei Dynasty also spread to the Central Plains like a joke.

Those business travelers do use jokes to spread such things.

In their opinion, if the world is about war, Guo Peng will say second, who dares to be the first?

If there is a first place, then Guo Peng will not be the emperor.

Mr. Guo himself was the only "benevolent and ambitious person" who maintained the Han Dynasty back then. If Mr. Guo had not "raised an army to attack Yuan Shu", the world now would have the surname Yuan.
