"If we don't increase taxes, I'm afraid the national treasury won't be able to afford it!" Dian Wei said with a serious face.

"Well! These are indeed problems! Time waits for no one! Send me an order to let all countries come to participate in the Luoyang League! Don't blame those who don't come. If you lose the power of the world, don't come alone! Send Du He to Wei and Xu Maogong to Zhao

State, Li Bai went to the State of Yue, Duanmuci went to the State of Shan, Chen Zhen went to the State of Xiang, Zhang Song went to the State of Wu, Chen Qun went to the State of Qin! Zhong Yao went to the State of Sui! Chen Tai went to the State of Ju! Zhong Hui went to the State of Yan, the above ten

China, within one month! Each country can bring 5,000 troops into the country, but no more than 5,000 troops are allowed to enter!" Han Yi said with a serious face.

When Dian Wei heard this, he was stunned and said for a while: "Won't your Majesty go to Qi this time?"

"Qi State! Whether they can survive this winter or not is a question, who cares what they do!" Han Yi smiled disdainfully, paused with the brush in his hand for a while, and said after a while: "The streets of Kaifeng have been left alone for so long.

, it’s time to collect some rewards!”

"The king means..." Dian Wei said thoughtfully.

"Kaifeng is located in the Central Plains and has become one of the world's economic zones. This cannot be changed. We can start collecting taxes. The profits from this are very large! It should be able to make up for the vacancies.

"You will finally understand!" Dian Wei Ying said.

"Are there any wealthy businessmen from Kaifeng in Tianji? After raising these fat sheep for so long, it's time to let them bleed!" Han Yi rubbed his temples and said seriously.

"There are three people with huge wealth!" Dian Wei said with a serious face. Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said after a while: "Those three people!"

"Hu Shangzi! Liang Ziqian! And Shen Wansan! These three are the richest people in Kaifeng!" Dian Wei said calmly.

"Oh!" Han Yi was stunned for a moment. When he heard Shen Wansan's name, Han Yi remembered that this cornucopia had almost forgotten him. Although he knew that this person existed, Han Yi still pretended not to know him, and immediately

Said: "What are the backgrounds of these three people!"

"Hu Shangzi was one of the first people to enter Kaifeng. He was a local wealthy family and a foreign businessman. He often resold furs and exchanged salt and iron for furs in the north. He earned the price difference and the profits were very generous.

This Liang Ziqian was an out-and-out businessman from his own country, with extensive business and many cooperation with the imperial court. He sold the excess moldy grain and grass in the household department at a high price. He then sold the grain and grass at a higher price to those who were short of grain during the war abroad.

Common people, as for this Shen Wansan, they only know that he started his business with a piece of jade pendant, and his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is vaguely surpassing these two people!" Dian Wei said with a calm face.

Han Yi stroked his beard and said after a while: "Yes! Not bad! We need more efforts from these three people this time. You should send someone to summon them to Chang'an now. I will see them in the afternoon of three days!"

"The final general has an order..." Dian Wei nodded.

"Yeah! Back off!" Han Yi nodded.

"promise!"

In the dark night, after a day of fighting in military camps in various places, they were all too tired to open their eyes and fell asleep directly. However, there were always a few people who wanted to stay up late and read.

Gongsun Yan and Cao Cao put on heavy clothes, looked at the bamboo slips in their hands, and discussed countermeasures all night long. It has been half a month now, and they still haven't taken the city, which made them extremely anxious.

Gongsun Yan looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said immediately: "The secret sentry sent to Laiwu City has released the news that Tian Dan is dead!"

"Tian Dan is dead!" Cao Cao became cold and threw the bamboo slips in his hand to Cao Ang behind him, and said with a heavy breath: "It is useless to die. Now the military power of Laiwu is in the hands of Gao Changgong!"

"Not necessarily. There are fewer and fewer soldiers in the city in the past few days. It is certain that Qi State does not have many soldiers and horses. It is only a matter of time before the city is broken!" Cao Cao said calmly.

"A strong attack would cause too many casualties, and it would be impractical to outwit him. This Gao Changgong is not a loser!" Gongsun Yan said with a serious face.

"This time...!" Cao Cao was about to say something when he saw a tall and thick man running in in a panic and said immediately: "General! Good news, General! Good news!"

"What's happening in such a hurry, what kind of behavior is this?" Cao Cao looked at the person who came, and when he saw that it was his third son, Cao Ning immediately scolded him.

"Father! There are soldiers in Laiwu City who want to surrender!" Cao Ning said with joy.

"Oh!" Cao Cao was stunned and immediately said: "Quick! Call in quickly!"

Gongsun Yan was stunned. This good news came a bit unnaturally. Han Chen, who was standing behind, pressed the sword in his arms and closed his eyes to rest. When the soldier greeted him, Han Chen opened his eyes. If there is

He looked out of the big tent thoughtfully.

After a while, I saw a sharp-mouthed monkey with cheeks! The skinny soldier walked in, looked at Cao Cao and Gongsun Yan, knelt down and said, "The little mermaid has seen all the generals before!"

The soldier was shivering, as if he was a little cold, but also a little scared. Cao Cao glanced at Gongsun Yan who was standing aside. Gongsun Yan nodded slowly, and Cao Cao said: "What are you doing here?"

"General Cao! My general has admired General Cao and General Gongsun for a long time. He was specially sent to submit a letter. He is willing to open the city at midnight tomorrow to welcome the general into the city. I don't know what the general wants!" The soldier looked calm and bowed.

He handed the cloth in his hand to Cao Ang's hand!"

"Father! Please!" Cao Ang handed his hands to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, took the cloth and took a look at it, and immediately said: "Not bad! I have good calligraphy. Whatever I ask next, you will answer!"

"The villain must tell you everything he knows! He can tell you everything he knows!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city!"

"Forty thousand regular troops, 20,000 soldiers and horses have been taken away by General Gao Xingzhou, and there are still 40,000 militiamen, the combat effectiveness is low."

"Why mobilize troops!"

"This!... I don't know if it will happen again!"

Cao Cao was stunned, glanced at Gongsun Yan, and said, "General, do you have anything to ask?"

Gongsun Yan glanced at the letter and said after a while: "That's it! Adjust the time. At noon tomorrow, you will open the three cities in the north, east, and south! Open the three cities, and you will lead the soldiers with white cloths tied on their arms to the south city, and the other three cities.

You don’t have to worry about it! Can you?”

"This...!" The soldier looked embarrassed.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on the two generals tomorrow! It doesn't matter whether you open or not, it's just that you will kill fewer people! You can retreat!" Gongsun Yan waved his hand and said.

"Wait a minute! Anmin! Send it to me for me. I will entertain you with good wine and food. When I take you away, I will take some yellow and white things with you. It can be considered as travel expenses for my brother!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Thank you, general! Thank you, general!" The soldier suddenly said with joy.

After the soldiers left, Gongsun Yan quickly looked at Cao Cao and said immediately: "General Cao! Do you think this person is reliable?"
