Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 115 Could it be that Guo Mengyu was lucky! ?

"Zi Lian!" Cao Cao yelled immediately, and walked up to Cao Hong, put his arm on his shoulder, and looked at him deeply meaningfully, "Tell me, is this achievement not bad?"

"It's more than passable..."

Cao Hong lowered his head and muttered, Cao Cao's expression was too obvious.

Don't you understand? It must have been the nonsense words of the drunken night that reached the ears of the lord. He doesn't say anything on weekdays. Now that he has such achievements and popularity, he must speak up.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed upright, and squeezed his shoulder again, "Then tell me, which general should be transferred to help them practice?"

"The letter said it was Gao Shun, so let him go," Cao Hong sighed, and answered according to the words, not daring to have the slightest emotion in it, but he was not in the mood to say it.

My lord knows how to torture people. This sentence really hurts my heart, and I can't even hold back my anger. But what I said before is indeed drunken nonsense and cannot be taken seriously.

"I was wrong," Cao Hong was also very honest now, he directly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, he didn't want to be tortured any more, if he asked any more, many people in the hall would probably sneer.

When Cao Cao heard this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his figure also slowly stood still, staring at him with unclear emotions.

Then said in a deep voice: "I'll ask you, and you will answer truthfully."

"Here."

Cao Hong clasped his fists and bowed, and his mood became more serious.

"What's the use of a military adviser?" Cao Cao said seriously, calmly, but his eyes glanced at all the generals. Those who met his eyes at this moment all dodged and bowed their heads, not daring to look at each other.

Cao Hong was silent for a moment, his cheeks twitched, and he replied: "It is to deal with the military affairs in the army, to observe the terrain, to formulate military strategies, to ensure the marching road is guaranteed, to mobilize troops and horses, to defeat the enemy and dispatch them in times of war. In fact...the one with the most powerful plans in the army should be regarded as the leader."

"Well, let me ask you again, when I asked all the sages to conspire, and worshiped as sacrificial wine, military adviser, Sima, etc., have you ever neglected?"

"No, no..." Cao Hong sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and felt even more uncomfortable. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only answer truthfully.

"I have to respect the counselors under my account, why don't the generals respect?"

Cao Cao's tone had already cooled down here, and Cao Ren couldn't help but say, "My lord, I will definitely not do it again in the future. Zi Lian also uttered wild words just now..."

"It's okay." Cao Cao laughed again, waved his hands and said, "I'm just asking, haha, hehehe..."

He gave Cao Hong a disappointed look, then walked back to the throne, and said to Cao Ren, "Zi Xiao will be transferred to Gao Shun, go to Chenliu to help Ang'er, train these soldiers, and at the same time inform the emperor about this, as a reward. "

"Afterwards, money, food, and cloth will be allocated to finance and prepare armaments. After a month of training, they will be dispatched to Guangling. I guess that Chen Deng can only guard outside Guangling, and can't take it completely. After all, it's his first time on the battlefield. , it would be nice to gain some experience.”

He smiled and looked at Zhu Wenwu, his happy and leisurely expression made people feel a lot more relaxed, and he would not be as angry as before.

So they all laughed. At this time, Cao Cao recalled the year with regret, "When I raised the army, there was even a mutiny. If those cunning Danyang soldiers hadn't been protected by the clansmen and ran faster, they might have died. Died on the way."

"Ha ha……"

It wasn't until Cao Cao told the past that Cao Hong was sure that he was really not angry anymore, because Cao Hong's achievements were in it.

Not only the mutiny, but Bian Shui let the horse and Cao Cao, both are life-saving feats, and they will definitely be remembered by others, and they will not be forgotten.

The lord is still the lord, with clear rewards and punishments, which is great.

……

Coming out of the tent, Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Chun, who was passing by, looked at him directly and laughed, patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Brother Zilian, don't talk too much after drinking."

"You see that you have the support of many merchants, so you can only enrich yourself. I heard that you have already started buying land."

"Fart," Cao Hong glared, and immediately shook his thick and strong shoulders, shaking Cao Chun's hand away, his face full of displeasure, knowing that this kid has a good relationship with Guo Yi, and talking like this is simply to wash him away , too lazy to talk to him.

"You don't have the task of recruiting soldiers, you only bring tigers and leopards to ride, and watch the fun, right?!"

In the end, Cao Hong still couldn't help complaining, but he was also envious of Cao Chun in his heart. This kid didn't know what kind of shit luck he had. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is an ever-victorious division, with a record in the body, there is no limit to the future.

"No, I just want to remind Brother Lian that it is useless to recruit more soldiers. The main thing is to see that you may not lose to Meng Yu on the battlefield. What's so depressing?"

"That's it!" Cao Hong didn't care what Cao Chun was thinking, but this sentence was correct, and the truth was this. To be able to really win the battlefield, Gao Shun's military training was to be upright, and he had to be excellent. The military equipment is not good, and he will not be able to train so many elite divisions if he goes there.

"Zihe, did my lord say recently, where should I lead the army?!"

Cao Hong was going to leave at first, but when he heard Cao Chun came to talk to him for a while, he turned around and crossed his shoulders, asking about the current military situation.

After the autumn, there must be some people who were dissatisfied with Cao's winning the emperor and rebelled against the tribute, and even if no one objected, but just delayed, then Cao Cao would ask the emperor to issue an edict to urge him.

From this point of view, people who are not ministers have an advantage in doing so. If there are no such people who are not ministers, they can get a lot of tribute as military funds to enrich themselves.

And if someone really refuses to give them life and death, they can just be labeled as thieves.

Recently, this news has been spread in many military camps. It seems that war with Hebei is about to start. Yuan Shao is in the position of general, and he only sent a little tribute, but Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou are almost subordinate to him, but they don't pay.

That is to say, Yuan Shao made a discount and only sent the tribute from Jizhou. Add together greater, reap more, but give not.

Then how do you define Yuan Shao's heart? !

It can't be defined, if you want to continue to suppress, you must go to war, so Cao Hong can't guess what the lord is thinking now, maybe after recruiting troops, he really wants to go to war with Hebei, and this war will never end in a few years.

Both of them are heroes of one party, and now they claim to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but they can actually gather [-] elite soldiers. If they use their wealth to fight, maybe both sides will be at the end of their battles, so the current situation is very tense. .

Cao Chun stopped teasing Cao Hong when he heard the words, his expression became more serious, and he shook his head after thinking for a moment, "I'm not sure, there are still a lot of chaos in various places, and there were too many forces escorting the emperor back to the east, although they were not able to follow all the way Come to vote, but you are not willing to die outside.”

"Just outside the pass, there are at least four places to conquer. There are also Yang Feng and Han Siam who fled to Yangzhou, and Zhang Xiu who is entrenched in Wancheng. After Zhang Ji died, Zhang Xiu inherited his soldiers and horses. , and there are more than ten thousand people, Liu Biao has to support them, and they can gradually stabilize their positions and grow stronger. These troops are his Jingzhou's barrier." He is deeply influenced by him, and now he is very serious about any military official duties, so he can't stop talking at this time, "I think that if you don't fight the first battle, you must choose a good opponent .”

"It can't be too weak, and it can't be too strong. If it's too weak, it won't be able to deter us. If it's too strong, it won't be good for our development. It won't stand to consolidate our current power, so Eryuan may not send troops to conquer, and also There is no reason."

"Well, that's right!" Cao Hong exclaimed from the bottom of his heart when he heard this. It's different when he becomes a general.

A few years ago, he was still sighing and had no interest in military affairs, but now he was able to talk freely and analyze the situation in the world. This person's growth was also obvious, which was enough to show how well that tiger and leopard rider supported people.

Not only raising heroes, but also raising famous generals. Cao Chun is one of the vested interests. Cao Hong is so envious that the walls are separated, but it is useless.

When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was first built, it seemed to be recommended by Guo Yi.

Guo Yi came from Cao Chun's camp again, and the relationship between the two was very good.

Alas, what a pity.

"Then I will go to guard outside the pass, that's my wish!"

Cao Hong turned from sadness to joy, and immediately patted his thigh and said, he only knew that this brother would definitely not come and shake him casually, this analysis is indeed solid.

"Well, garrisoning the land outside the pass, defending the pass against those princes outside the pass, in fact, even if there is no war, there is actually a merit of garrisoning. If you can keep one side safe, who can say that it is not a reputation!"

"Yes! Hahaha! Haha..." Cao Hong kept patting Cao Chun's shoulder tightly, his face full of joy, his brother is good, although Cao Chun would not drink with him and speak ill of others, but when he knew that his brother needed credit, I'll be right over with a word.

So after the two said goodbye, Cao Hong immediately returned to the army tent, expressed his thoughts to Cao Cao, and asked for orders to lead troops to the west to garrison the pass, and if possible, take Chang'an as the base camp.

In Chang'an, the former bandits and bandits should be guarding now. Although this city is abandoned, it is a capital built over the years, how can it not be rich? !

It is also occupied by those Xiliang thieves, if they lead troops to break through the city, just take soldiers and horses to plunder, maybe they can get a lot of treasures, those tigers and wolves under my hands will definitely be happy with this kind of thing!

Cao Cao didn't make a sound after hearing this, but just nodded his head to express his understanding, but before evening, the order came down, making Cao Hong the captain of cavalry, and leading the troops of the headquarters to march westward slowly.

Inquire about the situation, and set up camp and march. Food and grass should follow up together after autumn. If there is merit, it can be taken as a place to garrison.

As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, they are on standby for the time being and are still practicing.

The mobilization of troops at this time, even if it is just a little movement, will make people constantly speculate about Cao Cao's intentions, and it can also become a military message to spread to all parties. Those spies lurking in Xudu rely on such things to sell money .

……

By the time the news reached almost everywhere, it basically entered September.

This year's harvest is very good, and God did not make things difficult. After all, a locust plague last year killed at least one million people. This is still a statistical number. Those areas that do not pay tribute or are remote, there is no report at all. .

But fortunately, this year's Dafeng, when the harvest was first ripe, the harvest was already full, the army rations and fodder were well prepared, thousands of war horses, and five thousand tiger and leopard riders were attracted.

Cao Cao really expanded his stall this year, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut during the harvest. Then he saw the performance table sent by Cao Ang, which clearly stated that the Tiangong Camp where Guo Yi worked made keel waterwheels, big bamboo pipes, and storage. Water and earth ponds, etc., can be used for irrigation.

Now that Chen Liu has already extended it, please gradually extend it throughout the territory, which can save manpower to benefit the people, and the rest of the productivity has been released again. Cao Cao can use military service to expand the barracks, but there is no need to do so now.

With his reputation, he has already attracted people like a shadow, so why use the policy of conscripting husbands, it is only when the war is helpless that he will resort to the method of forced conscripting.

During this period of time, at home, he really felt that good things were happening again and again. The news that kept coming in and the reports of recruiting soldiers from all over the place seemed to be flourishing.

I don't know when this day will get better. Anyway, Cao Cao feels that those days when he couldn't afford food and fight wars seemed to be just like yesterday.

He counted carefully, and in fact, three years had passed.

And the biggest change in the past three years is that a group of outstanding economics talents like Guo Yi have been hired.

From Zhicai to Guo Yi, Mao Jie, Han Hao, and Cheng Yu, they are all very good at farming and enriching the people. Although their positions in civil and military are different, their methods are almost the same.

In addition, there are heroes such as the Xu brothers from Huairu and Zang Ba from Taishan. If they are willing to vote, there are 2 people who can be selected as soldiers.

It's going very well.

When Cao Cao began to feel comfortable, another extremely loud news seemed to soar into the sky, alarming the princes and generals in the entire Huaiyang area.

Even the local heroes ran away one after another as if they were awakened like birds and beasts in the forest.

Yuan Shu himself proclaimed himself emperor!
He couldn't even make it through this year, and he proclaimed himself emperor directly after the fall, and he issued an edict to the Quartet. Most of his remarks said that the Han Dynasty had died early, and the world's imperial court had been in chaos for a long time. He was willing to use the outstanding achievements of the Yuan family to In exchange for peace and happiness in the world.

Therefore, he called himself the emperor of the Zhong family, with the country name "Dacheng" and the year name "Zhongxing", and also issued an edict to the country to use the people and soldiers near Zhen'an.

So less than a month after he became the emperor, Sun Ce stabbed him hard in the back. Sun Ce, who took down Jiangdong, finally obtained the land of his father's foundation, and got the help of many talents in his hometown. Zhengchou didn't know how to get away from Yuan Shu.

Hearing this news, he quickly cut off the banquet with Yuan Shu. In the past, the martyrs would feel reluctant to part with Yuan Shu.

When Guo Yi and Cao Ang heard the news, they also knew that the real opportunity had come. The soldiers and horses they practiced day and night just happened to be able to march south.

At the same time, even more coincidentally, Chen Deng, whose potential and ambition had been aroused by Guo Yi, succeeded in eliminating thieves one after another in Guangling. , went straight to Guangling within two days, and then went south to Yangzhou to confront Yuan Shu.

In this way, Chen Deng, who is in Guangling, finds it hard to believe that this fucking coincidence, is there anything more coincidental than this in the world? !
Could it be that Guo Mengyu had already calculated this! ?I'm a trailblazer! ?
Therefore, Guo Yi and Cao Ang said that there is no need to wait for the emperor's edict, just fight directly!

"Wait, wait, wait until the day lily is cold by the military order, I'm sure Yuan Shu is still preparing to worship the heavens and ancestors, and prepare to use the emperor's ceremony to make the official uniforms of the courtiers step by step. Don't grab him at this time, too loss!!!"

Dian Wei nodded in support: "Yes, yes, I think so too!!"

Gao Shun also urged Cao Ang in front of him, saying: "The art of war is as fast as it is, so make preparations immediately..."
