Chapter 28
In May, Cao Cao really retreated.

Boss Cao retreated reluctantly, throwing out a classic password "chicken ribs", which also attracted Yang Xiu's wave of enterprise-level understanding of it, and gave Boss Cao an excellent excuse to kill himself.

But there is also a positive side to this matter. At least the joke of "chicken ribs" was written into textbooks after a thousand years. Boss Cao made an outstanding contribution to the education of our country with his failure in Hanzhong...

In addition, there is a group of ethnic minorities living in the Wudu area of ​​Hanzhong—the Di people.

Because of Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang and Di people, Cao Cao was afraid that these Di people would be used by Liu Bei, so he became the director of the demolition office.

Before leaving, Wudu moved these tens of thousands of Di people to Tianshui and Fufeng.

Since then, he has moved out more than half of the people in Hanzhong in several batches...

Old Liu gained land and lost people. Hanzhong in the original history has been short of people and food since then, which laid a hidden danger for Jiang Wei's inability to hold Hanzhong a few years later.

Boss Cao, who had succeeded in disgusting Old Liu, didn't know that what he, the director of the demolition office, had done indirectly planted a greater disaster for the Han family's children on the land of China...

……

During this month, apart from continuing to train soldiers, asking Uncle Zhuge for advice on how to change the battle formation, Liu Chan successively handed over and transported equipment from Wu Yi.

Also did a seemingly insignificant little thing.

He ordered his own winery to only use straight hundred dollars for settlement, no matter when purchasing or shipping.

This move did not arouse the vigilance of the big clans in Yizhou, and they even rejoiced that General Zuo's Mansion was willing to accept the Zhibai coins in their hands as processing fees, and they just happened to be able to clear out the Zhibai coins in stock.

But what will happen when the [-] coins in their hands are no longer enough to pay the high grape processing fee, and they have to use other materials or five baht to reverse exchange for [-] coins, they haven’t thought about it yet... …

……

Chengdu.

There are lights and festoons everywhere in the city, and the faces of pedestrians are all beaming.

Winning the battle means that taxes will also fall.

After the shortage of materials gradually improves, prices will also drop, and the lives of ordinary people will be better than before.

My son who went out with the army is coming back, and the pressure on farming will also be relieved.

The people were still happy, and there was a big banquet in General Zuo's mansion, playing music and dancing.

At this time when the city was full of joy, Liu Chan only showed his face at the beginning of the banquet, and then disappeared.

The care of the mother and the company of the beauty make people feel very happy.

A man can't indulge in it all day long.

Before leaving this time, although the mother was still tearful and the beauties were still reluctant to part, they did not dissuade Liu Chan too much.

Because at least in name, Liu Chan didn't go to fight and kill this time.

He only said that he wanted to go to Jingzhou and Soochow with the caravan, and some things needed to be handled by himself.

After all, in the eyes of the mother and the others, the relevant second uncle in Jingzhou is in charge, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Soochow is also an ally of its own side, so there will be no danger at all in this trip.

As for Guan Yinping, Liu Chan only said one word, and let the girl stay in Chengdu obediently.

"Help me take care of my mother and the people in the shanty town."

In Ms. Guan San's view, this is not only a great trust, but also a confirmation of the relationship between them. She is very happy.

As for Zhang Xingcai... she never questioned or discouraged any of Liu Chan's decisions, and it was the same this time.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Liu Chan left the bustling Chengdu city, and he came to the outskirts of the military camp in a well-dressed suit.

More than a month of hard training has brought about earth-shaking changes to the recruits.

First is the body.

In April and May, the weather in Bashu has gradually become hotter.

Although the national climate in this era has begun to turn cold as a whole, the sun on the top of Chengdu is still vicious in this season.

After practicing under the sun for more than a month, the recruits were physically peeled off... The sun was so tan that they were almost as dark as Uncle Zhang.

The harsh training, as well as sufficient calorie and protein intake in the daily diet, also significantly increased the tendons on their bodies.

But it's not a big guy like a bodybuilder. After all, although Liu Chan's army has meat in their meals, they still can't supply it openly.

It is similar to the set meal of later generations, corn and rice are enough, vegetables and meat are rationed, and some other non-staple foods are occasionally added.

As the price for their physical strength, each person used to have no more than two catties of corn a day, but now they can lose two catties in a big meal, which can be called a ruthless cooking machine.

Furthermore, it is the miraculous changes in the spirit of these people.

Although he still has a fierce look on his face, the ruffian spirit he used to have when he was a bandit has gradually faded away.

The changes in life and the respect of family members and neighbors made their understanding of the concept of "soldier" gradually different from the past.

Liu Chan's way of getting along with the regular army is also moistening things and silently transforming the thinking of this team.

The first is generals and schools at all levels.

Liu Chan set up one military marquis, five village chiefs, ten captains, and 50 special chiefs in the regular army.

The corporal leader below was canceled by Liu Chan because of the duplication of duties with the chief, and the large number of people affected the order.

The ten-man team is the smallest unit in Liu Chan's army.

The recruits found that although the officers appointed by Liu Chan were extremely strict in training them, if their movements were not standardized, they would be like a cane, and they never showed mercy.

But during the rest time outside of training, they are very kind, even treat them as equals, without putting on airs at all.

This surprised the recruits, and Hu Li was even more puzzled.

It shouldn't be...

When distributing money and food, they were exploited layer by layer, and military officers secretly blackmailed soldiers. In the name of entertainment, it was actually a variety of gambling games to find a reason for their subordinates to pay tribute.

Aren't these the traditional performing arts of the army these days?
In fact, the reason is very simple.

Liu Chan, the master of their hearts, exists like the sky. In his free time, he treats ordinary soldiers of regular soldiers as equals, even brothers.

You are a little military marquis, even a senior, dare to be special?

No one has the guts.

The so-called upper and lower effects, that is.

After a long time, always staying in such an isolated environment similar to an information cocoon, everyone gradually felt that this was the correct way to get along.

The changes from the inside out made these original bandits look completely new at this time.

Liu Chan nodded in satisfaction, now it's time for actual combat...

Ok?
"Hu Li."

"Yes!" Hu Lishua stepped out, standing like a spear in his hand, without squinting.

It's just...the obvious bruises on his eyes ruined his image, making him look a little funny.

A specialty of the Bashu area-iron-eating beasts.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Report to the young general, and was beaten up by the head of the village, Qian Duo, during the duel!"

He was obviously beaten, but why is this kid Hu Li so arrogant.

Liu Chan looked at the regular army phalanx: "There is a lot of money."

"Have!"

After Qian Duo came out, Liu Chan was overjoyed when he saw it, and he also understood why Hu Li was so arrogant.

This buddy also had a faint bruise on his cheek, which was obviously hit on the face by Hu Li.

No wonder Qian Duo looked bitter and hatred.

The head of the regular army was slapped in the face by a new recruit, although Hu Li was obviously injured more severely, it was embarrassing enough.

Liu Chan called him because he wanted him to be gentle with the recruits during sparring, but it seemed unnecessary.

"Let's go back to the team."

"Yes!" The two joined in at the same time.

"You have been training in the camp for more than a month. As I said at the beginning, it's time to go out and practice." Liu Chan glanced at them, "Aren't you afraid of meeting bloody people?"

"Not afraid."

Liu Chan became playful: "I can't hear you at all."

"Don't be afraid!" The roars were in unison, and the few birds that had stopped on the log fence were frightened and flew away.

"Okay, very energetic! Ready to follow me out of camp."
