Xiaoguangong

Chapter 138 Don't Say It, Don't Say It
On Cao Jun's account, there are [-] troops in Jingzhou, and the previous food, grass, military equipment, etc. were also deployed according to this number.

5 people are [-] mouths that are constantly moving every day. To provide for these people’s daily needs, the land under Xiahou Dun’s rule must be frugal, and a large amount of food and grass must be transported to the front line. Even women have to work hard to weave cloth And taking on some manual work can barely guarantee the sufficient military resources on the front line.

The lightning continued, the sky thundered, and the angry thunder sounded like Xiahou Dun's current mood.

How much he wanted to draw out his sword and give Le Jin and Xu Huang a knife to express the extreme anger in his heart, but his monstrous anger could only turn into a hysterical roar in the end, and the angry Xia Houdun slashed fiercely with his long sword on the ground he could see. In front of everything, the broken sundries are like a little bit of mud splashed by the waves outside, which is shocking to the people watching.

"Get out, get out immediately!"

He roared angrily, feeling the hot blood in his skull continuously rushing up, rushing against the top of his head and temples, Xiahou Dun's eyes were filled with tears, his arms were trembling constantly, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

If Yunshan's words are true, then Jingzhou's battle is a fart.

At present, Cai Mao's army has the largest number of soldiers, while Le Jin, Xu Huang and others are seriously short of troops.

The most well-organized army is actually the Yunshan Department.

This young barbarian general retained more than 5000 soldiers and horses. Judging from the fact that his troops can be stationed in Jiangxia and Jingcheng respectively, and the infantry and navy are ready, this number should be about the same.

This is still Guan Ping's underreporting.

No wonder Sima Fu was not at all worried about being found out about his empty pay before, and the generals who co-authored with Cao Jun ate more and more powerfully. On the contrary, he was the main force of Cao Jun.

Guan Ping knew that of course these soldiers under Yue Jin and Xu Huang didn't disappear out of thin air, but in order to reduce the expenditure on military rations, the two sold them all while the names of these people were still on the army register.

This not only saves expenses, but also adds an extra income to yourself.

Guan Ping could figure out who the specific buyer was after thinking about it with his toes.

"Frankly, you stay, I have something to tell you."

The furious Xiahou Dun drove Le Jin and Xu Huang away, and he seemed to be a few years older.

He called Guan Ping, who wanted to escape together, and let him sit in front of him.

The General Cao stood like a lonely mountain for a long time before he slowly bent down, lifted a wine jar clumsily, and poured Guan Ping a bowl of wine.

His movements were very gentle, and he didn't let the wine in the altar spill a drop. Seeing that the bowl was full of turbid wine, he gave a wry smile and sat down slowly:

"Frankly, do you think I'm harsh and unreasonable?"

"Some." Guan Ping stared at Xiahou Dun's hideous face, and reluctantly nodded.

"Hey, in fact, Mengde was like this back then." Xiahoudun smiled helplessly, beat his knee lightly, and said with emotion, "The world was in chaos back then, Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage, and Mengde and I raised troops in the village and agreed to revive the Han Dynasty." room, and rescued the Son of Heaven from the hands of the thieves."

"At that time, we didn't have many people under our command. Apart from me and Cao's nephew, the only one who followed the prime minister was Wang Bi himself.

At that time, Meng Deqin was in charge of the army, selected the world's heroes for his own use, and everyone worked hard to move forward without fear of death. This is how we are today. "

"Later Wen Qian and Gong Ming also came.

At that time, they were all brave heroes, willing to die for the world, forgetting all about money, food, official positions and wealth. At that time, we were as strong and fierce as Liu Bei, and we never played all kinds of ghosts and tricks. "

Guan Ping looked at the old man who was recalling the past, and couldn't help sighing: "Everyone will change."

Xiahou Dun showed a hint of sorrow on his old face:
"good."

"Since when?"

"It started with... the massacre of Xuzhou."

The Qingzhou soldiers who started under Cao Cao were all rebellious yellow scarf thieves.

These people didn't come here for loyalty and feelings for the world, but because they couldn't beat Cao Cao and were recruited by Cao Cao.

These people couldn't beat Cao Cao, but they gradually corroded the military discipline of Cao Jun. After that, they would rob every battle, and even struggled to seize all kinds of finances when massacring the city.Gradually they made a fortune, so that other people were jealous, and gradually began to follow suit.

If Cao Cao could stop it quickly and strictly enforce military discipline, many problems in the future would be much easier to solve.

It's a pity that Cao Cao was worried that the strict enforcement of military discipline would cause problems in the army, and as his status became higher and higher, and his ambitions became bigger and bigger, those who adhered to the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy would naturally dare not use it, in order to give some favors to those who supported him , The means of massacring cities naturally appeared continuously, and later became the characteristics of Cao Jun, relying on massacring cities to accumulate enough military resources.

The Yellow Turbans back then couldn't beat Cao Cao, but their ethos had a strong impact on this army. Since then, Cao Jun has fallen.

"I... I'm not very good at fighting. But I have a vague feeling that this day will come sooner or later." Xiahou Dun's face was covered with a trace of sadness, which made people feel a little more sympathetic, "Meng De always said that he can wait Wait, we can wait until we pacify the world. But I see that the army is plagued by problems, morale is low, and treacherous people are becoming more and more indispensable. It seems impossible to pacify the world like Gaozu and Guangwu."

He looked at Yunshan in front of him, and sighed: "Frankly, the prime minister has already ordered the world, and only talents are the only ones. With your ability and talent, if you abide by your heart and stick to the right way, you will definitely be able to rise to the top in the future. The prime minister said it a long time ago. I wish you, my second wife, such a good opportunity, you will never learn these bad things in the army again, you must follow your heart and be a person who keeps integrity."

Xiahoudun's advice was extremely attentive, obviously because he valued Yunshan very much and regarded him as his own person and the object of training in the future.

As an important figure in the formation of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun's appreciation was no less than Cao Cao's. As long as Yunshan bowed down immediately and said he was ready for the general's dispatch, he could immediately change his family and become Xiahou Dun's subordinate, with a bright future.

Unfortunately, Guan Ping knew that he was Guan Ping, and Yunshan was just a name he made up.

"The general is upright, impartial and selfless. Shan wants to report a thief in Jingzhou. If this thief is eliminated, Jingzhou can be settled."

"Oh, who is it?" Xiahou Dun asked pleasantly, "If you can determine Jingzhou except for one person, just tell me, and I will verify the truth and execute the law immediately!"

"It's Cao Hong!" Guan Ping said solemnly, "Cao Hong is greedy, and the military assets accumulated by General Le and General Xu are also sold to him, and he buys properties and sells them to others.

This person is extremely greedy and has seriously violated the law. A few days ago, Jiangling was relieved, and a large number of Shu brocades went northward. Even General Le Jin dared not touch the benefits of this wealth!
If the general is strict with the law, please order to kill this thief!

Even if you don't kill him immediately, you can still report to the prime minister, declare to the world, and agree that Jiangling will be rescued and all his families will be killed!
Cao Hong is the best at managing property, and his family wealth is countless. As long as he announces the confiscation of his family wealth, it will surely deter Xiao Xiaoxiao in Jingzhou.It's not destroyed by a snap of the fingers! "

Guan Ping stood up while talking, his voice was like a chime, and the expression on his face became more determined——

Zhuge Liang once said that things like military law must be treated equally.

To make a mistake is to be punished, and the punishment must be painful, making people feel unbearable, so that there is a chance to correct it.

Cao Hong is particularly good at managing property. Cao Cao himself said that Cao Hong is richer than himself.

This person was beaten almost to death by Huang Zhong and Huo Jun before, but now he is still standing tenaciously. Taking advantage of the waterway in Jiangling, he started to resell Shuzhong salt and Shu brocade. coalition forces,

This military information was passed on by Cao Ren's school affairs, which shows that Cao Ren's subordinates were also very angry with this general. If Xiahou Dun raised his arms and punished Cao Hong severely, the morale of Cao's army in Jingzhou would definitely skyrocket, and it would be no problem to beat Zhou Yu back.

The premise is...

Xiahou Dun really dared.

Hearing Cao Hong's name, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly became very helpless.

Cao Hong is stingy and greedy, which is recognized by everyone.

If he really made up his mind to attack him, there would naturally be many people who could intimidate him, but Xiahoudun had to weigh it carefully when attacking him.

Cao Hong is not only Cao Cao's hero, but his property is related to the interests of countless people in the Cao family and Xiahou family. If he is killed, the soldiers will be the happiest first, and then the veterans of the Han Dynasty must be the most happy.

As we all know, Cao Cao's basic base is neither these soldiers nor those veterans of the Han Dynasty, but his own flesh and blood clan. Xiahou Dun thought about it, but still could only shake his head slowly.

"Not yet.

The matter of Zilian has a lot to do with it, I..."

"General." Guan Ping sighed, "The matter of Cao Zilian is very important, what about Jingzhou? What about the world? This one person is hard to get rid of, so what about the world? As long as Cao Hong is excluded, we will..."

"Stop it." Xiahoudun sighed for a long time, his eyes were a little more lonely, "Stop it, don't say it."

"Then how did General Cha Lejin and Xu Huang feel at ease? How could they be willing to obey?"

Xiahou Dun was startled, then slowly shook his head:
"Don't talk, don't talk."

At this moment, Guan Ping felt a little more sympathy for the person in front of him. He saluted and slowly withdrew from Xiahoudun's military tent, feeling joyful in his heart and uncontrollably flustered.

Over the years, he has never been as confident in defeating Cao Cao in the future as he is today.

So many ills had already appeared before Cao Jun took down the world. When Cao Cao was there, he could still rely on his own prestige to support him. Xiahou Dun's prestige and strictness were enough to deter most people from abusing them unscrupulously.

But when Cao Cao is gone, how can his descendants have such prestige.

As long as we have accumulated enough power to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, we have a chance to take over the world.

But when we seize the world, can we still keep our original intentions and create a better world?
He was a little confused for a moment.

The dense spring rain fell on Guan Ping's face, he slowly clenched his fists, and walked into the heavy rain without hesitation.
