Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 140 I'm Not Convinced!How come all good things belong to Xu Bowen!

"Father! We've gone there. Brother Bowen is still sharing the food himself. After that, we will go to the mountains to collect materials and build wooden houses for the people to settle down."

"In Shouchun City, when the internal affairs are restored and the officials take office, all the people should be settled before the winter solstice. Therefore, Brother Bowen asked me to give you a message."

Cao Ang immediately touched his head and smiled wryly, "He also asked Ang Er to come to see you."

"what did he say?"

Cao Cao is in a good mood now, and Xu Bowen can accept whatever he says, even if he wants to bring up the matter of Ning'er and Xian'er again, Cao Cao will probably agree to it right now.

After all, this son is really a man who descended from the sky, helping me Cao family to rule the roost.

"Brother said, until people's hearts are settled, I'm afraid I'll be busy, and I'm afraid I won't have time to have a long talk with the lord."

Cao Cao was so disappointed that he felt uncomfortable instead.

"I thought what was going on."

Regret.

"It's okay, you are busy with this matter, I am very relieved, there will naturally be a chance when you return to Xu, go to the house for a long talk, you go and tell him, when the time comes, I will treat you with a family banquet, and order Ning'er and Xian'er to accompany you .”

"Oh?!"

Cao Ang frowned immediately.

If you say so, there are only five.

Is it really necessary to marry a wife every solar term? !
"Father is wise," but even though he was slightly astonished, Cao Ang still felt from the bottom of his heart that brother Bowen must be tied tightly, so that he can feel at ease as a member of his own family.

Never be poached by others.

"As for the parts of Jiujiang and Huainan, I will hand them over to you and Bowen to guard against Lu Bu and prevent him from escaping from Guangling."

"Here!"

"Well, let's go."

Cao Cao smiled calmly with his hands behind his back.

But in fact, the palms of his hands were already moist with sweat.

This is not because Cao Cao is nervous, but excited.

Cao Ang already has the determination to win people's hearts, which means that he has really grown up.

Not only did I learn from Xu Zhen how to be self-disciplined, how to be courteous and corporal, and how to treat the people kindly.

I also learned that the real merit lies in the human heart.

In the future, I am afraid that this eldest son who has been carefully cultivated for many years will not be able to surpass himself in the way of fighting on the battlefield, but he will be able to go one step further...to become the person that the people of the world need more.

Cao Ang galloped away on horseback, personally transported food to the refugee camp in the southeast, and resettled the people together with Xu Zhen.

After knowing this.

Cao Cao felt more and more relaxed while walking.

"No wonder, I said that the number of people in the city gradually decreased, and they all went to the refugee camp."

"Hey, this Zixiu, let's see if he's a little stupid? Like Xu Bowen, oops... I don't know whether to be angry or happy," Cao Cao's footsteps were a little lighter, and he walked with his hands behind his back, beaming with joy, "Take People's hearts are naturally important, but merit should not be given up."

"Except for the thieves who usurped the Han Emperor, that's also very important."

Gee.

Guo Jia gasped inwardly.

Have you started? That's it.

Compared with just now, these words are not an emotion at all.

Now it's purely showing off.

"My lord, it's admirable that the eldest son has such a heart and cares about the common people!? If this word is spread in Xudu, I'm afraid the emperor will greatly appreciate it, and all the officials will praise it."

"Scholars in the world should respect the eldest son even more."

"That's true!"

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded cheerfully.

I don't want to hide it anymore, I'm tired.

Simply laughing from ear to ear, occasionally nodding affirmatively, and occasionally laughing uproariously, as if comforting his whole life.

What can a husband ask for if he can have a son like this.

Guo Jia took a sneak peek at Cheng Yu, but said nothing. Fortunately, Cheng Yu was there, so he could ask questions pretending not to understand, pretending to be deaf and dumb with every word, and what he said seemed to be true.

In fact, it can please the lord very much.

While talking, they patrolled the main camp.

Cao Ren was sitting in the camp, and at this moment, he had dispatched more than a dozen soldiers and horses to go out from the North City and the East City, chasing where Yuan Shu was.

And he learned the lesson from last time, so he didn't celebrate immediately.

Over the years, Cao Ren followed what Cao Cao said, and the practice of self-discipline spread throughout the battalion. All officers and soldiers strictly abide by their duties, and they will never celebrate their achievements rashly until they really relax.

So he not only sent soldiers and horses to pursue it, but also sent additional men to repair the city wall.

At the same time, he ordered his relatives and cronies to occupy various houses in the city to preserve them and distribute them to officials or return them to merchants and common people.

He also held his chest up and straightened his back, never having the slightest time to sneak away.

Walking in a majestic posture, ordering with majesty, his demeanor has the appearance of a general, and all the generals and generals under his command respect and trust him.

It was not until he saw Cao Cao coming that Cao Ren had a long-lost smile on his face.

This time, it can be said that Cao Ren has set an example in terms of military discipline and strict demands on soldiers. He is not like last time.

"Big brother!"

"Ah."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and sat down at the main seat in the main tent of the camp. At this time, many generals were also there, and after a busy night, they sent troops to chase and kill Yuan Shu, looking for his whereabouts.

Just watching this scene, he is of course satisfied.

In the military tent, Cao Hong is the most proud at the moment.

With a broad face and a thick body, he stood upright in his battle armor, looking at Cao Cao with burning eyes, expecting words of praise.

With such an appearance, he was much stronger and sharper than he was back then, and the soldiers and horses who were ready to fight in battle seemed to have the appearance of a victorious army.

"Besides, when I attacked the east gate, there were so many casualties and hard work, so it would cost a lot just to pay for pensions and rewards. My elder brother asked me to lead my troops to collect the counties of Jiujiang, and I collected them one by one. There was no offense to the people. , although there is no consensus among famous people in various places, it is peaceful for the time being."

"This time, it must be that the fame is crowned with everyone."

"Brother! Now all the generals are chasing Yuan Shu, the crowd is excited, and this battle is a big victory. Last night, he not only took away his remnants, but also counted his gains one by one." Cao Ren immediately straightened his back and came to report in front of Cao Cao, "Just More than 9000 war horses have been collected!"

"Besides, they are all young horses, and our cavalry can grow stronger again!"

War horses are not easy to raise these years, and Yuan Shu is still in a place like Jiujiang, so it must be obtained from looting, or relying on the family's reputation in the past, he obtained it from nearby celebrities.

To be able to save such a large cavalry family business, Yuan Shu probably spent all of his own, and now it is all owned by Cao Cao.

This also includes the horses that were worn out after the war.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao only said one good word, but he was not too happy.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists together and said, "Not only war horses, but also hundreds of thousands of grains of food, countless armaments and weapons, mountains of gold, silver and jade wares, and thousands of pieces of cloth and fine clothes. There are a hundred thousand gold and countless collections of ancient books."

"Such a feat is really worth celebrating! This money is completely enough for us to repair the city wall and rebuild Shouchun as the most important place. Whoever beheads Yuan Shu will be rewarded immediately!"

"That's why the soldiers are so brave and diligent. Now the furthest one has been chased for [-] miles, and they will definitely be able to bring back Yuan Shu's head!!"

Hearing this, Cao Hong took a big step forward, leaned close to Cao Cao and clasped his fists and said, "Not only that, maybe you can also get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in Yuan Shu's hand."

"Well, hehehe..." Cao Cao laughed softly.

He glanced left and right at Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

Behind him, Cheng and Guo, the two military advisers who accompanied the army, had always been unhappy, and they were extremely calm, mainly because they had just heard what the eldest son had learned.

For some reason, I always feel that these things are nothing.

Money, ten thousand gold, fancy clothes, ancient books.

All of them are obtained from subsidizing military funds today, but if they can get tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people's hearts, they can really gain a firm foothold in Jiujiang.

A great man who has the support of the people is a great dynasty just now.

The Zhong family without popular support is just a dream of Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Cao Cao said calmly, "Do you know what Bowen was doing last night?"

"Um?!"

It is him again!
Why is it always him.

Xu Bowen was mentioned again at this time? !

What else could he do? Did he go out secretly to get Yuan Shu's head back?
Cao Ren fell silent.

Cao Hong lowered his head slightly resentfully, as if extremely impatient, he took two steps back and stood still.

When the eldest brother said that suddenly, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Is the Jiujiang in hand going to fly?Even if you want to give it to Xu Bowen, you have to listen to the reason, how can he get it?
Just relying on him to occupy Hefei?
Hefei City, plus all the ferry fortresses on the south side, is only one-third of Jiujiang. Why give it all to him, but I have the remaining seven points in my hands!
Cao Cao sighed, and said, "All of you generals are chasing after Yuan Shu, because of the glory and wealth I promised last night, the title of military officer, and being famous in the south of the Yangtze River."

"However, since last night, Xu Bowen and Zixiu have distributed all the food and meat they brought in to the refugees in the Southeast Camp, so that all those who lost their homes due to the war can have something to eat."

"Do you still remember why the people were displaced in the first place, and what did they gather for later?"

Cao Ren's expression was still stunned and stunned, but when he heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied feebly, "I'm full."

"Not bad!"

Cao Cao immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes were slightly stern, and he glanced at the generals in the tent.

Every time the eyes meet, they always lower their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at them.

At this moment, his majestic voice resounded like a torrent of bells, "A full stomach brings people together."

"We will attack the city with Yuan Shu's atrocities and the emperor's favorable government! Now that the city is broken, how can we only care about the defense of the army and soldiers, and ignore the displacement of the refugees?!"

"If there is no food brought by Zixiu, and Xu Zhenchu ​​who has never changed his mind and always served the people, I am afraid that the people who are about to starve to death now will say that I am Cao Cao, and I am the same as Yuan Shu!"

This sentence, sonorous and powerful, hit the hearts of all the generals like a heavy hammer.

Let several people fall into silence.

Cao Hong didn't know whether to be ashamed or angry, and his whole face was flushed because of this.

Suffocating fire.

"However, the generals have made great achievements, so how can they be buried?" Cao Cao smiled in a blink of an eye, stood up and walked in front of Cao Hong, patted him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Zi Lian has worked hard and made great achievements, and his achievements are also the highest among all generals." .”

"Zixiao sits in the central army, commanding the soldiers and horses properly, advancing and retreating well, the army formation is strict, and the soldiers and horses are drilled well. This achievement is also the achievement of a general."

"Zihe led the tiger and leopard cavalry, sided with the army, and raided the camp. However, the cavalry is not good at attacking fortifications, so although their achievements are not as good as those of the two, they still have a lot of hard work."

"The rest of the civil and military have their own merits, but it is none of you who can really lead Jiujiang County and calm people's hearts."

"Zilian, after returning to Xudu, I will make you a general and continue to lead the army for me to earn a reputation, and the land of Jiujiang will be led by Xu Zhen and Zixiu!"

"Big brother!"

Cao Hong shouted immediately, but couldn't say anything.

After these words, he naturally understood the meaning.

The hearts and minds of Jiujiang are now in Xu Zhen's hands.

Besides, he still has Zixiu by his side, so giving it to Xu Zhen is equivalent to giving it to Cao Ang.

Naturally, he can't take it by force. The only advantage is that if he is named a general, he can also make up for the soldiers and horses who died in this battle in the future.

Even more may be available in the camp.

"it is good!"

After Cao Hong thought for a moment, he immediately responded in a deep voice.

Well you Xu Bowen, buy people's hearts!
It's really a good method, so many civil and military people have never thought of this, and you actually let you do it!
"Since that's the case, you all perform your own duties." Cao Cao clapped his hands and prepared to leave the tent. "When all the troops from all walks of life are gathered in Shouchun, we will prepare to return to the court."

"Zixiao, use the profits from the war to repair the city wall within ten days, and then Zixiu will be able to station troops here."

"After the farmland is restored, water conservancy can be built in the spring of next year and internal affairs can be carried out."

"Here!"

Cao Ren cupped his fists and bowed to see him off.

There is no feeling of depression, but he still maintains the demeanor of a general.

After Cao Cao left, he went to Cao Hong's side, put his arms around his shoulders and persuaded him, "Okay, it's nothing more than Jiujiang County."

"Damn it! I just can't get enough of it! The city was built by my soldiers! Why is it all because of him, Xu Bowen!?"

"I don't agree!"

"If you don't accept it, just hold it in, and you will make more achievements in the future." Cao Ren frowned slightly, and his tone became a little more serious, "Bowen ordered his son to cultivate people's hearts, why?"

"Yes--"

Cao Hong suddenly realized, his eyes moved a few times, and he understood everything at once.

This one will win the hearts of the people and take over the big job in the future!
No wonder the lord will give Jiujiang to them, which means that after one year, this place will become the glorious achievements of Xu Zhen and Cao Ang!

This is clearly used to increase Cao Ang's reputation.

What are you clan brothers going to grab, this is what the next lord wants!
It turned out to be the case.

That really couldn't be contested.

"Ugh!"

Cao Hong immediately sighed, slapped his thigh, and said angrily, "If it's for Zixiu, then it's worth it!"

"As long as Xu Bowen doesn't enjoy it all by himself!"

Cao Ren said a few more words of relief, which finally cheered Cao Hong up a bit. Although Zhuge Liang's strategy was used to defeat the East Gate in this battle, the strategy was effective because of the hard work of the soldiers and horses. How could it be possible without hard work? .

……

Southeast flow private.

It was gradually getting dark.

Xu Zhen distributed the last bit of food, looked at the long line of refugees, wiped the sweat off his brow, and squatted on the nearby stone.

With both hands tucked into the wide sleeves, he looked cheerfully at the people who came rushing.

At the same time, a system beep came from the ear.

[Open a warehouse to release food, never forget your original intention, get self-discipline value +120]
