Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 68 Just in Time!Something is wrong!

"This is more difficult." Bao Xin was also helpless. If it comes to the money for internal governance, the three places under his rule, Jibei, Jinan, and Rencheng, were also emptied of military rations during the first battle against Xu.

Now there is only food used for governance, and the money distributed is not enough.

To put it bluntly, the current situation in Yanzhou is that the background is insufficient.

Originally, after last year's bumper harvest, they were already very rich, enough to fight for three years, and they could even recruit troops wantonly. Whether it was food for cooking or marching, it was perfect and sufficient.

Now that the battle is over, we still have to reserve food for prevention. If there is an attack by soldiers and horses at this time, we must ask for food from the people and big households.

It is certain that grain can be collected. With the current prestige and reputation, how difficult is it?

But after that, people's hearts will be consumed, and if they want to collect food or fathers in the future, they will cause fear in the people. This is the disadvantage of Guo Yi's plan.

"Unfortunately, taking the two places of Xuzhou, but being bound here, I can't immediately agree to Zang Ba's request. Fortunately, the rest of the princes are still busy this year, and we still have a chance."

Cao Cao was speaking for Guo Yi, and was also resolving his inner unwillingness.

After all, no one is perfect, Guo Yi still made meritorious service.

Pengcheng and Xiapi are the barriers of Tanxian County in Xuzhou. Once they are removed, they can rest easy and wait for the right time. If Lu Bu wins these two cities, there will be more casualties if they attack Xuzhou again.

"Forget it, since Yuncheng is here, let's stay for a few more days."

"Hedong Wei sent a letter to support me in Yanzhou and made friends with me. At the same time, he asked me to stay in Yuzhou from Chen and go outside the pass to help welcome Cai's family."

"Cai Yong, it's my teacher. I'm duty-bound to deliver this. I'm going to deliver the watch riders. I've been looking for them a long time ago, and they're almost here."

"Oh, that's very good," Bao Xin laughed, "Isn't this good news? Mengde's acceptance of a great Confucian girl is also a good story."

"Hedong Wei is also a big family, all of which can increase Mengde's mighty reputation, and it will get better and better in the future."

"It has to be what you said," Cao Cao pointed at him, "Don't worry."

"Wait for the time," said Cao Cao, taking a deep breath. "Hiss, I just realized now that Meng Yu's plan and strategy tends to be more stable than supernatural, which is not a good thing. If you are too stable, if you miss a moment, you will be hindered, just like what you are doing now."

"It's not a bad thing either."

Bao Xin smiled and said a few words of persuasion. He is an old friend. Of course, he understands that although Cao Cao said that he was quiet in his mouth, it must be a pity in his heart.

Now Bao Xin is worried, Cao Cao is like this, the army can't march for half a year, they can only farm the fields, and the clansmen are working hard day and night to train the sergeants.

In the First World War, Xuzhou did not make any financial achievements. Will it be boring to blame Guo Yi and make things difficult for him?

This is indeed Meng Yu's loss...

……

"This Guo Mengyu, this strategy is desperate. Now we seem to have won the battle, but in fact we can't move."

"In my opinion, it is time to requisition grain now, store up military resources, and wait for Lu Bu to be conscripted next year. Don't say that there is no crime in autumn. You should collect money from the army and use it to reward soldiers!"

"What are these soldiers following us for?!"

"Isn't that just for money! If you don't feed them, who will work for you in the future!"

In the military tent, the strong and generous Cao Hong stood in front of the main seat, his face was slightly red, his eyes stared like copper bells, and he waved his hands to speak frankly to Cao Ren.

He didn't suppress his temper at all.

The soldiers and horses under his command are now quite complaining.

After Cao Jun entered Xuzhou, he worked hard to attack the city one after another, but after capturing the city, he was restrained by military orders and committed no crimes, so he lost many opportunities to make a fortune for no reason.

Most of those who joined the army and entered the camp did not have enough to eat and wanted to find a place to do meritorious service, but there are still many people who are fighting for a way out with their lives.

Now not only have they failed to get money for their lives, they will not be able to fight again this year.

Cao Hong had a broad face and a rough manner, but he was also cunning. Although he was complaining angrily, he still secretly observed Cao Ren's reaction.

Seeing him sitting upright in the main seat, his expression didn't change much, but his face had darkened slightly, so he also relaxed a little.

"Zixiao, let me tell you, this is indeed Guo Yi's fault, right? Now the soldiers in the army are constantly complaining, how can I suppress it?"

After asking, he stopped talking, waiting for Cao Ren's attitude.

Among the clan members now, Cao Ren is faintly headed, and among the generals, he has the highest status and the most achievements.

Both Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan were brought up gradually after they had made meritorious service, while Yuan Rang's elder brother was already the prefect of Dongjun, and most of them led troops to guard the frontier, and rarely rushed to kill them personally.

That's hard work and still demands respect.

Only Cao Hong has always led troops, but he is not so magnanimous, and he is a little more gangster-like.

Moreover, he did not restrain his subordinates in the past, nor would he be as generous as other generals. He often distributed rewards, so he could not suppress the soldiers under his command.

But you can't blame him, generals are like this, if you want to be full, join the army, but if you want soldiers to work for you, apart from personal charm, then you have to rely on heavy rewards.

After all, everyone believes in the saying that wealth and wealth can be found in danger.

After a long while, Cao Ren pondered for a long time, looked up at Cao Hong, sighed and said, "Zi Lian's words are not unreasonable. Although Meng Yu's actions are meritorious, they have also emptied the army rations in the territory."

"But it's not an exaggeration, it's a merit. It's just that I didn't expect such a result." Cao Ren glanced at him and understood Cao Hong's difficulties.

That's why the battle is brave.

This is equivalent to reducing his fighting spirit, and no one will work hard for him anymore.

The rest of the camps were fine. After all, most of the generals were very strict in running the army, and they would not plunder before.

Therefore, there is no such worry. Once the military order is issued and mobilized several times, it can basically be suppressed. If there are complaints in the army, they can be rewarded and comforted.

There is indeed not much money for rewards and food for marching, and we still have to wait for the spring and summer solstice in the coming year.

"Zi Lian, I will explain this matter to my eldest brother, and I will allocate money for you from my reward and family assets, so that you can reward the sergeant."

After thinking about it, Cao Ren made this decision with great difficulty. He has always been reluctant to part with money, and often fights for food, grass and armaments for his subordinates.

But on this matter, he didn't want to talk too much with Cao Hong, and it would be best to just suppress it.

"Hey! Then, wouldn't this cost my brother a lot...haha!"

Cao Hong laughed immediately, and that expression did not say that he refused. For him, being able to suppress it was a good thing.

"But Zixiao, I still have something to tell you."

"Guo Yi is indecisive in his tactics, he doesn't make good use of the morale of soldiers and horses, and procrastinates and delays the war opportunity. This matter should be explained to the elder brother, otherwise what should the soldiers do if they don't accept it in the future?"

Cao Ren nodded, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I make my own decision."

……

Inside the Juancheng Government Office.

Cao Ren and Bao Xin, who came from the barracks, happened to enter together. The two walked together and mentioned the pain that Guo Yi's plan had caused, but Bao Xin obviously didn't care.

"Zixiao, with the strategy of military settlements, Qingzhou soldiers following, and the people as manpower, how can he lose money? It will only become richer and richer in the future."

"It's just a little constraint, it's nothing. After the autumn harvest this year, you can still go to Xuzhou. Wouldn't you be able to make meritorious service then?"

"Having said that, the only thing to do now is to find a way to boost the morale of the army. I didn't know the consequences before. Of course, it is a great achievement. Now that it has happened, it needs to be remedied. Otherwise, I will think carefully before making suggestions in the future."

Cao Ren said coldly.

He came today to talk about this matter with Cao Cao, and then asked him to transfer his reward to Zi Lian's camp, so as to suppress his complaints for the time being.

After all, it would be extremely bad for Guo Yi's reputation if he was left alone.

However, just as the two of them were about to step into the main hall, Xi Zhicai twirled his beard with one hand and put the other behind his back, and hurried over.

His eyes were solemn, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he was thoughtful. When he looked up and saw the two of them, he didn't even have time to say hello. He said quickly: "You two are right here. Come with me to meet the lord. Something is wrong."

"what?"

Bao Xin and Cao Ren were startled, they stared at each other in shock, their hearts were suspended.

What is so serious.

　Sorry for the late post, make it up.
