Of course, it is inevitable that Cao Cao and Sun Ce would use part of this huge sum of money to train troops and improve combat readiness. However, these were not the big ones, and even Chen Xi had guessed early on. Fortunately, the real bulk of the work has fallen on infrastructure construction. At least Cao Cao and Sun Ce still have to face it. People like Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao are indeed better than others in domestic affairs. They can basically follow Chen Xi's plan at that time. Advance step by step. And with the improvement of these things, the entire country gradually became connected, and the connections between various regions became closer. The Han Empire, which was barely unified under the banner of the Han Dynasty and was vaguely fragmented, once again became one overall. This close connection made Cao Cao deeply aware of Chen Xi's methods. Taking into account the Grand Canal and the arteries being built in the northeast and southwest, Cao Cao deeply realized that Chen Xi was really using his own means to end the possibility of the country's split. ! "I'm warning you, if I catch you using the money I lent you to develop military equipment, I will definitely take it back." Chen Xi looked at Liu, who was on Cao Cao's side, and came to discuss the matter with a heartbroken expression. Ba, and Yu Fan, who also came to discuss the matter with Sun Ce, warned. Hearing this, Liu Ba was speechless and could only put his forehead on his face and say nothing. This kind of warning was completely ineffective. Well, the money was given to Cao Cao and Sun Ce. When the time comes, it will only depend on the self-discipline of Cao Cao and Sun Ce. But relatively speaking, Liu Ba is still very optimistic about Cao Cao. It is inevitable that Cao Cao will get a little bit of this money, but Cao Cao will never make a big move. After all, it has not reached that level yet, and the three parties have done it before. The relationship with Chen Xi was pretty good, so there was no need to make it so tense. In Liu Ba's opinion, this was also an important reason why Chen Xi was willing to borrow money. Yu Fan turned his head and said nothing. He didn't care at all about Chen Xi's words. Once he got the money, it would be his own business to spend it. As for you who are not satisfied, come and beat me. Of course, Yu Fan also knew that with Sun Ce's integrity, since he had agreed to this matter, he would definitely not mess around, so there would be a lot less places to operate, but with the abilities of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, they would definitely be able to dig out part of it as a subsidy. Home use. "You guys, this attitude makes me very worried about how the money I loaned you will be spent. I want to add terms!" Chen Xi looked like he was offended by these two guys. "Mr. Chen, what terms do you want to add? We agreed at the time that this document cannot be changed randomly." Although Liu Ba admired Chen Xi very much, he was still very clear about his mission and immediately jumped out to stop him. "Of course there is one more thing. If I catch you spending my money randomly, I will take back the money that belongs to the country. After all, all this money belongs to the country. Let me catch you spending money randomly. I am sure I want to teach you how to behave." Chen Xi looked like I'm offended by you and I don't trust your integrity. "Come on, come on, didn't you have this before?" Yu Fan said indifferently, after all, after getting the money, these are not important to Yu Fan. "Now that I see Yu Zhongxiang's indifferent expression, I want to take back the loan." Chen Xi looked like I doubt your integrity, and he looked quite angry. "Ha, how is this possible? I can guarantee that every penny here will be spent where it should be spent." When Yu Fan heard Chen Xi's words, he immediately assured with a serious look on his face that the money has not been received yet. Chen Xi is still an uncle, pretending to be a grandson, pretending to be a grandson. Chen Xi glanced at Yu Fan and said angrily, "Wait a minute, I will also write this sentence in the document. Remember to press your fingerprints." In an instant, Yu Fan's pressure doubled. This was okay to say, but in fact it was definitely It would be really embarrassing if he had to go to another place to supervise her and he would be responsible for it. Fortunately, Chen Xi didn't pursue it too much. He just added his own terms as a warning. To put it simply, if you bastards take my money and don't do what you planned before, I, Chen Xi, can use it when the time comes. Ask for money by any means. Okay, it's a normal regulation. There's nothing to say. Anyway, most people are armed to demand wages. Although Cao Cao hasn't figured out the overall situation yet, he gave up after losing. Cao Cao can still do it as an official in the same dynasty. Anyway, he is now Still Hanchen, his dreams have not changed. As for Sun Ce, Zhou Yu already had vague guesses at this time. Although he had not yet taken a boat to go south to conduct research, Zhou Yu, who had already made some guesses, planned for the next unification battle, which was to show his force. Prove your own worth and prepare for the future. After all, the strength Liu Bei has shown now is too strong. Even a figure like Zhou Yu is not sure that he can win the battle. In addition, from the Yellow Turban period to the present, Sun Ce and Liu Bei have not broken their faces, and now the people above?There is a Han Dynasty pressing down. Even if they lose, as long as they prove their worth, Zhou Yu, who has not yet understood the overall situation of the world and has not yet gone south to conduct research, guesses that they will not be too miserable. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will fight in the battle of unification, but its meaning is no longer a matter of life and death as in other eras, but to prove their worth and give an explanation to the men who follow them and the ministers who follow them. , also to gain a future. By now, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are actually not fighting simply for themselves, but to follow their ministers. They both need to give an explanation to their supporters. This is also the necessity of the battle for unification. But what is different from other eras is that in other eras, you have to win this battle or lead the battle to death. Otherwise, Cao Cao's line and Sun Ce's line will never be stable. Since Liu Bei had said that he would not kill him, Cao Cao and Sun Ce also guessed that there was a way to deal with it. After all, if this kind of thing is not handled well, even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce don't want to rebel at that time, they may have to rebel in the end. ??The addition of Huangpao is not only his own wish, but sometimes also the collective wish of his subordinates. If Liu Bei has no way to deal with it, then sooner or later, being pushed by his own people to rebel will happen. As for Cao Cao and Sun Ce letting go, in fact, according to political terms, it means that they are irresponsible to their own family. The Yang family knew that they must be responsible for the supporters behind them when they were in such a dangerous situation. How could Cao Cao and Sun Ce How can I not know? Well, Sun Ce may not know, but Sun Ce will definitely protect his own people. People without brains can best distinguish between distance and distance. 8
