Chief dashing military division at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 24 Cao Cao
"Meng De, I'm really laughing at you." The person who spoke was a somewhat thin middle-aged man, holding the information he had just received in his hand, and said a little ashamedly.

Opposite him is Cao Cao, a well-known traitor in troubled times in history.But his appearance is very good, unlike the historical novels, with fine eyes and long eyebrows, and a sinister face.Instead, he has a long beard, full of dignity, and the square square face gives people a sense of stability and reliability, and faintly reveals an inviolable aura.

This time Cao Cao came to Chenliu to find his close friend Zhang Miao. He had just collected the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou and was going to fight a big battle.He himself was ready to sacrifice his life for righteousness, but he was a little worried about the funeral, fearing that if he died, there would be no one to take care of his family, so he came to say hello to Zhang Miao in advance.At this time, the two of them were utterly devoted to each other and depended on each other. No one expected that they would turn against each other in just a few years, to the extent of killing each other.

"Brother Meng Zhuo, I'm a little curious. Who is that big man who murdered?" Not long after Cao Cao came to Zhang Miao's place, he heard a report from Zhang Miao's subordinates, saying that there was a riot in Chenliu County. The leader of the bandits, Dian Wei, led his family to wipe out Chen Liu's army, and the county magistrate Wang Heng was held hostage, which had a great impact.Zhang Miao was naturally furious, and it made him feel ashamed that such an out-of-control incident happened in front of his friend and nominal superior Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao's consideration of things is obviously more far-reaching, and he keenly interpreted one point: this Dianwei is not simple.According to the intelligence, Dian Wei's family members totaled ten members, while Chen Liu's defenders numbered in the hundreds. Under such a situation where the enemy was outnumbered, he was able to wipe out the defenders and hold the county magistrate hostage. , This requires courage and courage as well as force.If this kind of person can be used for his own use, it will definitely be a great help. If not, then he must be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

"Hey, if you want to talk about Dian Wei, I've actually heard his name before. The former Chenliu county magistrate, Liu Jie, was killed by him. It is said that his friend died because of a wrong. , and this Liu Jie is the one behind the scenes. I never imagined that he would do something like this to me now, it’s really daring!" Zhang Miao was so angry that his body trembled involuntarily, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice: "He really Can you be invincible when you have a little brute force? Offending my authority repeatedly is really unforgivable!"

The more he talked, the more angry Zhang Miao simply stood up, pacing anxiously with his hands behind his back, and said, "After I've been busy for a while, I'll personally order troops to meet this demon king—you don't know Meng De, right? Because the foolish people in Chenliu County are afraid of him, they secretly call him the Demon King. How unreasonable is that! I don’t believe that he can still kill a thousand troops and horses!”

Cao Cao stopped him with a smile: "Brother Meng Zhuo, don't worry, Cao is a little interested in Dian Wei. Let Cao do this kind of trivial matter." But in his heart, he had a higher opinion of Dian Wei, Being able to stand out for a friend with such passion is definitely a loyal and reliable person. If he can gain his approval, it will definitely be a life-long benefit.

But what Zhang Miao said next made Cao Cao's heart turbulent: "Hahaha, if Meng De goes out, then I will be more at ease. Meng De has been in battle for a long time, and he is proficient in the art of war. He must be more than enough to deal with such a small thief." However, this Dian Wei is nothing to worry about, he is just a reckless man. After killing Liu Jie before, he has been fleeing far away, not daring to fight back. But I heard that I met an 11-year-old boy on the road, and somehow he was persuaded Confused, he killed Chen Liu instead and did this kind of thing! In my opinion, that little thief deserves to die even more! How many tricks can a warrior like Dian Wei have? Method? Most likely the little thief is behind the scenes, if Meng De can catch him, please hope to hand it over to me."

Cao Cao was ecstatic in his heart: an 11-year-old boy has such courage and vision, a genius, definitely a genius!The original curiosity and longing for Dian Wei in his heart has completely transformed into the expectation for Huang Jing at this moment.As a man with great wisdom in his chest, Cao Cao undoubtedly understood that a general who can only fight is more important than a military adviser who can make suggestions.The former is the courage of a man, and the latter is the enemy of ten thousand people.

Of course Huang Jing, who was far away in Chenliu County, would not know that he was missed by Cao Cao just like that.At this moment, he is working hard in the county government to formulate the rules and regulations and training methods for the newly established militia battalion.Dian Wei, on the other hand, scolded the rookie who had just entered the camp in the school grounds with great vigor, as if he had already become a leading general.

Since he followed Huang Jing's advice last time, Dian Wei has had good luck.His current reputation as a god-killer has spread all over Chen Liu, and even many foreign merchants know his name, and many people call him "Devil King" in private.Although it didn't sound very good, at least no one dared to offend him, and everyone had to be polite when they met, which made him very proud.Then he hijacked Wang Henglai to order Chen Liu to recruit healthy young and middle-aged men who had no food to form a militia battalion to develop their own strength.According to Huang Jing, one person cannot fight against a group of people. Although he won a complete victory with one enemy against a hundred last time, what if it was not infantry but cavalry?Are there tens of thousands of people, not hundreds of people?Wasn't it Chen Liu's garrison, or the Imperial Guards of the capital?At that time, you must rely on your partners to win.

Dian Wei was extremely conceited at first, thinking that with his own martial arts, it was possible to defeat all the invincible opponents in the world. He even thought of going to Chang'an to compete with Dong Zhuo's No. 1 general, Lv Bu.But when Huang Jing said this, his heart immediately turned cold. He is not stupid, but no one has guided him to think like this before.After thinking about this, Dian Wei acted decisively according to Huang Jing's idea, trying to train a usable soldier before the end of the year.Moreover, since he put away the arrogance in his heart, his martial arts has also made great progress, which made him very excited, and he also understood the truth of Wu Wu Boundless.

"My lord, rest for a while. This servant will hammer your shoulders for you first. From morning till now, you have been sitting here for several hours." It was Yin Susu who spoke. Since she followed Huang Jing, she fell down. She also kept her duty, honestly did some work as a maid, and didn't make any excessive demands, for fear of accidentally offending Huang Jing and being expelled.

After a few days of contact, she also gradually figured out Huang Jing's temper. Generally speaking, he is a very good person to his servants.As long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, he basically won't scold him, and he is very considerate of those around him.Feng Yong, who had been following him all this time, had a more prosperous life than ordinary young masters from rich families, and he didn't feel wronged, so he gradually began to attach his heart to Huang Jing.If she was a little bit reluctant at the beginning and had other thoughts, now she can be said to be the one who really thinks of herself as Huang Jing.This is an obvious thing. Whose son or young master would treat the maid and concubine as a person?
Huang Jing didn't refuse. He is a person who likes to enjoy himself. If it weren't for the critical moment, he really wouldn't want to wrong himself to do these jobs.He squinted his eyes and silently felt the vague warmth coming from his shoulders, and then asked softly, "Is everything okay outside?"

Yin Susu's hands stopped suddenly, and she panicked: "Ah, my lord, this servant is dead, and someone asked to see him just now. The servant saw that the young master was concentrating on his desk, so he didn't dare to report. The man is still waiting in the hall right now!"

Huang Jing opened his eyes and said, "Did he say who he is?"

"Yes, yes, he said that he is Cao Mengde from Peiguoqiao County." Yin Susu quickly replied.
