The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 471 Luo Gongqi had no choice but to train his troops, Cao Cao was angry again
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't listen to him, Luo Yuan didn't say much.

Xu Shu listened, but didn't know why Luo Yuan agreed. Wouldn't it be better to help Cao Cao train the navy to enhance Cao Cao's strength?
It's really of no benefit to Jiang Ling.

He couldn't help but wanted to say it, but Luo Yuan shook his head gently.

Although Li Ru and Xun You felt it was strange, they were not quite sure and could not say anything. Luo Yuan had already agreed, so it was a good thing for Cao Cao.

After all, Luo Yuan no longer has to conflict with Cao Cao.

After Cai Mao suffered a defeat, he ran back in panic and knelt in front of Cao Cao. He was soaked with water and soon there was a pool of water under him. If the soldiers had not rescued him in time, he would have been hacked to death by Huang Gai.

In the naval battle just now, one of his two cousins ​​was shot dead by Jiang Qin, and the other fell into the water and was finally stabbed to death by Ding Feng with a spear.

Cai Mao was very uneasy and did not even dare to look at Cao Cao. Cao's army was defeated in the first naval battle, and he felt that Cao Cao would not forgive him.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategy. You should go and rest first and fight again another day."

Cai Mao couldn't believe it.

What does it mean?
"The King of Wei will not kill me."

Cao Cao was very experienced: "You are the commander of the navy, how can I kill you at will? Victory and defeat are just common things."

Cai Mao was overjoyed and immediately expressed his gratitude.

When he went down, Cao Cao's face looked unhappy. How could Boss Cao like failure?

Xu Shu glanced at Luo Yuan and asked, "Why not kill him?"

"Just to stabilize the morale of the army." Luo Yuan said.

Cao Cao had just taken over the navy of Jingzhou, and the navy of Jingzhou had not yet returned. If he killed Cai Mao now, those in Jingzhou and Jiangling would definitely be uneasy.
Xu Shu nodded.

After Liu Bei and Zhou Yu met up on the Yangtze River, they sailed straight down the river to Jiangxia. Cao Cao could only sigh when he saw this.

Cao Cao then ordered the construction of water forts on the banks of the Yangtze River. There were hundreds of them, large and small, stretching for more than ten miles, and they were used to train the soldiers coming from the north day and night.

Luo Yuan and Xu Shu returned to the military headquarters, and Xu Shu asked, "My lord, why did you help Cao Cao train the navy?"

"I don't want to, it's Cao Cao's wishful thinking, I can't refuse." Luo Yuan sighed and said, "He will regret it."

"Why?"

Xu Shu was originally worried about increasing Cao Cao's power, but after hearing what Luo Yuan said, he became curious.

Training the navy was good for Cao Cao, so why would he regret it?

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, our army organization is completely different from Cao Cao's, and the training method of the navy is also different. Not to mention other things, he can't compare with our navy's food, and there is also a propaganda team..."

Xu Shu realized that the Jiangling navy was not large in number, but was clearly organized and treated fairly. The environment of the entire army was different from that of Cao Cao.

Serving as a soldier under Cao Cao, ordinary soldiers had no channels for advancement, but serving as a soldier in Jiangling, if you were well trained and improved quickly, you could become a soldier and be promoted normally.

I'm afraid those soldiers of Cao's army are going to rebel.

It is normal for soldiers to disappear at this time.

Xu Shu laughed: "Cao Cao thought our army was good at naval warfare, so he asked us to train. He must not know the key points."

Thinking about the possible situations, Xu Shu was overjoyed.

The King of Wei would never have thought of this!

As for whether Jiangling could attract Cao Cao's men to rebel, Xu Shu had no doubt at all.

The people of Jiangling are extremely eager to join the army.

Anyone who wants to succeed will be willing to join Jiangling.

Xu Shu said, "In this case, we should be more careful." Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Since I have already promised Meng De, how can I not do it? Otherwise, he will blame me again."

Luo Yuan ordered the elites of Jiangling's navy to train Cao Cao's navy. Everything was done according to Jiangling's rules, with clear rewards and punishments. They trained during the day and took literacy classes at night.

The food is similar to that of the Jiangling navy. Not only is there meat at every meal, but meat is a must at least once a day.

After a few days, Cao Cao's subordinates became dissatisfied. The navy was eating too well. The generals such as Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun did not eat as well as the navy soldiers.

When the army soldiers saw the treatment of the sailors, they were immediately dissatisfied.

"King Wei, the navy has meat every day, but our army only has beans, rice, and salted vegetables. The soldiers are dissatisfied."

"Morale in the army is low. Some say the King of Wei treats them differently, forgetting that the infantry fought for the King of Wei."

Cao Cao was speechless. He felt that this was really an injustice to him. How could he possibly treat people differently?

He quickly called Cai Mao to ask.

Cai Mao said, "Well... the food and training of the King of Wei's navy are all in the charge of people from Jiangling. The Jiangling navy attaches great importance to rules, and all treatment has standards. Ordinary soldiers are given three taels of meat a day, half a pound of various vegetables, and plenty of rice. Those who perform well in training are rewarded with copper coins and can be promoted to officials."

Cai Mao said that he had no control over the training of soldiers in Jiangling.

How could those people from Jiangling give him face?

"I am really incompetent in governing. This... has nothing to do with me." Cai Mao looked at Cao Cao.

That was something Boss Cao and Luo Yuan had agreed upon, so I wouldn't dare to do it myself.

Cao Cao was shocked: "Is Luo Yuan really training his soldiers this way, or is he deliberately causing unrest among our troops?"

Luo Gongqi was a very bad man, and it was possible that he deliberately discriminated among his own troops and deliberately caused discord between the navy and the army.

Cai Mao said: "It's the same in Jiangling. There has been no change in the food."

Cao Cao was depressed, this...

Suddenly he remembered that Luo Yuan was not very willing to train the navy for him that day, and he understood a little.

Cai Mao added: "Some soldiers in the navy were promoted to officials by them, and the officers and soldiers in the army also complained. The King of Wei didn't know how to deal with it."

Cao Cao asked about the identities of those who were promoted, and it turned out that they were all ordinary people.

His face changed drastically and he slapped his thigh hard, thinking that something was wrong.

Luo Yuan must be trying to sow discord.

After all, all the officials in his army had their backgrounds, and the generals under his command were either his relatives, nobles, or his confidants. This was true for the superiors, and naturally so for the subordinates.

What does being an official have to do with being a peasant? No matter how small the official position is, there are a lot of connections and backgrounds behind it.

Now that ordinary people are allowed to become officials, the soldiers in the army will definitely feel unbalanced when they know about it.

The lower-level soldiers’ own foundation, Luo Yuan is digging his own foundation.

Cao Cao immediately said: "Let Luo Yuan's men go back, and we should train ourselves!"

Cai Mao hurried to do it, but the next day he came to Cao Cao and said: "King of Wei, five or six thousand navy soldiers escaped overnight. Those people went to Jiangling... and joined the Jiangling navy."

“Luo Yuan…”

You are such a son of a bitch!

Cao Cao was so angry that if it wasn't for the overall situation, he would have killed Luo Yuan. "Jiang Ling actually lured our army. I can't bear this anger."

Cao Cao took the sword and was about to go to Luo Yuan to settle the score, asking him to return my soldiers to me.
