"Hahahaha, you're finally back!"
"I've missed you so much!"
Cao Cao said with a smile when he saw Bai Feng.
Bai Feng smiled and cupped his hands.
"Thank you, Wei Emperor, for your concern. It's my honor."
"I didn't let you down. I've severely injured Shanyue and successfully trained the soldiers."
"I've also gathered some information about Jiangdong."
Cao Cao smiled.
"Good, good, good!"
"As expected of you, Sir! Come, let's enter the city! "
"I've already prepared a celebratory banquet. We're just waiting for you to return!"
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed.
During this period of time, Cao Cao had been trying to get information from Jiangdong.
However, he couldn't find out anything about Bai Feng.
This was definitely good news because Cao Cao's spies had seen Bai Feng enter Jiangdong.
Cao Cao couldn't help but admire Bai Feng for hiding in Jiangdong for five whole months without being discovered.
However, for Bai Feng, training was secondary. The most important thing was to gather information about Jiangdong.
Although Cao Cao had sent many spies to Jiangdong, most of them were disguised as civilians and couldn't get close to the inner workings of Sun Quan.
This was undoubtedly a lack of information.
"Sir, let's talk while we eat!"
Cao Cao said with a smile after they were seated.
No one else was invited to this banquet. Only Bai Feng and his group of twenty people were invited.
Only the Eighteen Steeds of Yanyun, Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, Qin Liangyu, and Jiang Wei were invited.
As soon as they left Fan City, Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang were taken away by the Hanzhong soldiers who came to pick them up.
If the two of them removed their disguises and were seen by Cao Cao, who knew what would happen?
Sun Shangxiang wasn't too bad. She might not be Cao Cao's cup of tea, just like Qin Liangyu.
However, Da Qiao might not be the same.
Moreover, Cao Cao had seen Da Qiao with his own eyes!
Moreover, Da Qiao missed her sister and and wanted to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible. and
He had no choice but to report to Xu Chang.
Bai Feng smiled.
"Emperor Wei, the current movement in Jiangdong is heading to the south of Jiaozhou."
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard that.
"There's such a thing?"
Only Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and a few other officials knew that Sun Quan had sent troops to the south.
The others didn't know where Sun Quan had sent troops to.
When the spy came to report, Cao Cao thought that Sun Quan had sent troops to Jingbei again.
He didn't expect them to be heading south!
Bai Feng nodded solemnly and said,
"Sun Quan wants to leave a way out for himself."
"He and Liu Bei have already sent people to investigate the various prefectures under Wei Emperor's control and discovered the sudden increase in food supplies."
"Therefore, Sun Quan specially sent troops to Jiaozhou and exterminate all the foreign tribes in the south."
"They did it to expand their territory. If our army is going south and they can't win, they will move south."
"If that's the case, our army will have a hard time catching up to them."
Cao Cao furrowed his brows and his face turned ugly.
"Sun Zhongmou, oh Sun Zhongmou, I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve!"
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Wei Emperor, don't worry. I already have a plan."
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
"Oh? Mister is always able to surprise me. "
"Tell me, what's your plan?"
Cao Cao was curious when he thought about the various advanced technologies Bai Feng had developed.
After all, the current Bai Feng was like a magician of the Wei Dynasty.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"The most important thing to solve this problem is to solve the problem of our army's food supply."
"Carriage transport is slow, and the route is extremely long. The supply lines are also extremely slow. If that's the case, our army won't be able to extend the battle line."
"This is also why this subject has told General Ma Chao not to make a move against the Qiang first."
"Because when we attack the Qiang, if they can't win, they'll definitely run west. We won't be able to catch them then, because the transportation of food and reinforcements will take a lot of time."
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.
Cao Cao had known about this problem for a long time. After all, he had fought a lifetime of wars, so he had some understanding.
"Could it be that Teacher's plan is to solve this transportation problem?"
Cao Cao asked after a few moments of hesitation.
But he wasn't confident.
After all, if he had a plan, he would have implemented it long ago.
Bai Feng smiled.
"Precisely."
"Does Wei Emperor still remember Qin Zhidao?"
Cao Cao paused and smiled.
"How could I not know?"
Bai Feng smiled.
"If we want to solve this problem, we need roads like Qin Zhidao's, roads that cover all of Great Wei!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned at first, then he shook his head heavily and said, "That's right.
"Teacher, I've thought of this plan before, but it's impossible to implement."
"Qin Zhidao spent two full years building it, and expended a great deal of manpower and resources."
"If I carry out such a wasteful and costly matter, the Sun Liu Alliance will definitely know about it and will definitely wait for an opportunity to send troops."
"In the end, I'm still not at the level of the First Emperor, who can unify the world."
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Wei Emperor, this is this subject's plan."
"It's how to build the Qin Zhidao without affecting our soldiers' ability to defend the city."
"Moreover, it's not about conscripting corvee labor."
Cao Cao's interest was immediately piqued.
"Oh? How is this done? "
Cao Cao clearly remembered that the First Emperor of Qin had conscripted corvee labor, causing great dissatisfaction among the people.
At this moment, Cao Cao did not want to follow suit.
Cao Cao was a person who did not like to be bound by rules, and he was also repulsed by these traditions.
He had a clear view of the situation.
If they were to conscript corvee labor, it would be a terrible thing for the entire Great Wei.
Bai Feng smiled.
"This matter can be handed over to all the merchants of the Great Wei to handle."
"The method is to contract."
"Let the merchants pay to recruit workers. As long as it's not the busy season, there will be plenty of able-bodied men."
"Provide three meals a day and pay them. There will definitely be a large number of able-bodied men willing to work."
Cao Cao could not help but shake his head.
"Merchants? Since ancient times, merchants have pursued profits. It's a little difficult to use merchants. "
"Moreover, I'm afraid that asking them to pay directly won't work."
Bai Feng nodded and smiled.
"Wei Emperor, merchants pursue profits. Can't we just give them some profits?"
Cao Cao disagreed.
"This is even more inappropriate."
