Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

The reason why Cao Ang asked people to recover the craftsmen was because in Cao Cao's reply, he mentioned the matter of reporting to the emperor and asking for credit for Cao Ang.

And in the letter to the good boy, Cao Cao revealed to Cao Ang without any concealment that Cao Ang should be added to the hussar general for his contribution this time!

The hussar general is second only to the general. He has the power of a captain, but he is above the three princes!

Sometimes the characters can be enlarged and called"General of the Hussars"!

This title was originally created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the champion Hou Huo Qubing.

Only those who bravely champion three armies and whose one cavalry is ahead of ten thousand armies can be called hussar generals!

Although this title was later inherited, it became a Han system like the general.

However, none of the subsequent Hussar Generals were as famous as Huo Qubing, and they were all unworthy of their reputation.

Now, before Cao Cao's memorial reaches Xudu, he has already told Cao Ang that he will be the hussar general. It can be seen that Cao Cao clearly regards the emperor as a puppet...

But of course, Cao Ang will not object to this.

If the Han Dynasty loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away. This is how it should be.

If Lao Cao is really loyal to the Han Dynasty and respects the emperor as a god, how can Cao Ang give Lao Cao a yellow robe in the future and pass the blame for treason on Lao Cao?

What's more, in the eyes of both Cao Cao and Cao Ang himself, Cao Ang's strategies, tactics and results this time were not inferior to Huo Qubing's back then.

With two thousand cavalry, they marched back and forth for hundreds of miles, and made an emergency landing of 200,000 troops. They were the bravest of the three armies, and their achievements were outstanding!

However, the money model that Cao Ang had asked the craftsmen to cast before had to be changed.

After all, Lao Cao had already spoken out, and it would only take more than half a month at most for his memorial to arrive in Xudu before the imperial court in Xudu issued an edict proclaiming Cao Ang the title of Hussars General and sent it to Pengcheng.

In other words, within a month, Cao Ang will officially change the title of Cavalry General, so the title of Cavalry Cao on the new money is out of date.

It should be changed to Hussar!

Jian'an five baht, cavalry Cao Zhu!

So, Cao Ang explained to the money-making master who was called back, and then he asked him to go back and change the money style, and cast Cao Lang's money in advance.

When Xu Du's sealing edict arrives, it will be the time when the newly minted Qiusi Caolang Qian comes out.

By then, Cao Ang will definitely surprise everyone in the world!

At this moment, Chen Deng was also smiling at the side and said:"Then I would like to congratulate the young master in advance on the addition of the hussar general!

Since the champion three hundred years ago, the successor generals of the hussar general have not lived up to their reputation.

Now the young master Lanling Pengcheng is In the battle, we can directly catch up with the champion of the year and revive the reputation of the Cavalry General!"

Cao Ang waved his hand and said with a smile:"Thank you, sir. My memorial to thank you and all the generals has already followed the escort of Lu Bu and Zhang. Xun Xun's team is going to Xudu, and it is almost here now.

Presumably, by then, the praises from Mr. Yuanlong and the soldiers will also arrive."

After that, Cao Ang handed over some political affairs of Xuzhou County to Chen Denglai. reason.

He went to the school field outside the city to continue reorganizing and training the troops of each tribe.

It is now mid-to-late July, Mars is setting, the hottest season is over, and the weather is starting to cool down.

At this time, the weather is pleasant for military training.

It took more than half a month to completely reorganize the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under Cao Ang's command, and the drills were almost the same.

And seeing how Cao Ang appeased the people in Xuzhou, took good measures to surrender troops, settled fields, opened mines, and minted new money, he was very wise and benevolent. With Guan Yu and Chen Deng assisting, Cao Ang effortlessly did not even need to persuade him to surrender. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were asked to surrender on their own initiative.

As for Chen Gong, after saying that he would only surrender Cao Ang but not Cao Cao, he also surrendered to Cao Ang and assisted Chen Deng in handling the political affairs of Xuzhou County.

In terms of military affairs, Cao Ang organized more than 2,000 Xiliang elite cavalry and Zhang Liao's 1,000 Yanmen elite cavalry together.

From the 200,000 Zang Ba Taishan tribe, Lu Bu's surrender, and Huainan's surrender, one in a hundred was selected, and two thousand elites who were brave, strong, good at riding and shooting were selected and incorporated into this elite cavalry.

Therefore, Cao Ang had five thousand cavalry and more than nine thousand horses under his command.

More than 6,000 of them were all the war horses owned by Cao Ang and his son, and the other more than 3,000 were the war horses brought by the Yanmen Jingqi, as well as the horses of Zang Ba, Huainan, and other surrendered troops by Lu Bu.

The number of these surrendered troops was 200,000, but the total number of all the war horses was only more than 3,000. This shows how precious war horses are in the hands of the princes.

If Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry and horses hadn't joined, even Cao Cao would have had less than a thousand horses at most.

Five thousand elite cavalry and more than nine thousand war horses can barely achieve the configuration of one person and two horses.

It happened that Cao Ang had internally decided on the title of Hussars General, so Cao Ang named these five thousand elite cavalry troops as the Hussars Army, which was directly under Cao Ang's command.

As for the five thousand hussars, there are five cavalry generals, each leading one thousand fine cavalry.

Among them, Zhang Liao still led the old army of one thousand Yanmen fine cavalry, Xiliang Xiao general Hu Che'er also led one thousand Xiliang fine cavalry, and Xu Chu led another one thousand Xiliang fine cavalry.

As for the two thousand elite cavalry newly obtained from the surrendered troops, Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang, two peerless generals, each led one thousand.

In this way, after the former Five Tigers of Chen County were dispersed, Cao Ang formed another Five Hussars Tigers!

These five generals commanded a total of 5,000 hussars, all of whom were directly under Cao Ang's central army.

When the battle comes, these five thousand hussars, led by Cao Ang and five fierce generals, will charge, and they will be the battlefield bulldozers of this era!

It can be said that with these five thousand hussars in hand, Cao Ang is confident that he can sweep the princes even without other troops!

What's more, in addition to these five thousand hussars, Cao Ang also has about two hundred thousand troops.

Among the remaining troops, Cao Ang selected half of the 20,000 soldiers from Changxi's old army and 20,000 soldiers from Xuzhou who had surrendered, and gathered 20,000 strong soldiers, including Xu Dan's more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers.

In addition to the 2,000 elite soldiers brought by Cao Ang from Xudu, including Qingzhou soldiers, and the 3,000 able soldiers previously selected from Zang Ba and other Taishan tribes and commanded by Li Cunxiao, the total number is 25,000. An elite infantry army was also organized and named the Hujie Army.

This elite infantry, the Tiger Army, is also directly under Cao Ang's Central Army.

Cao Ang did not stick to one pattern and appointed Lu Bu's surrendered general Gao Shun as the general of this tiger and victory army.

He also trapped the seven to eight hundred heavy armored infantrymen of Gao Shun's old unit into the camp, selected warriors in the army, and supplemented the number by one thousand, allowing Gao Shun to still take charge of them.

Immediately, Gao Shun, who was newly promoted, was filled with emotion.

After all, Gao Shun was clearly loyal when he was under Lu Bu.

Even last year, when Lu Bu's general Hao Meng rebelled and attacked Lu Bu's official office, forcing Lu Bu to flee from the toilet for safety, Gao Shun loyally rescued Lu Bu and welcomed him into his military camp.

Afterwards, not only did Lu Bu not appreciate Gao Shun's contribution to saving Hao Meng, he also became suspicious of Gao Shun, who had saved Hao Meng's life, because of Hao Meng's rebellion. Lu Bu's relative Wei Xu was in charge.

But Gao Shun was asked to command Wei Xu's weak troops.

Only when going on an expedition, Lu Bu would hand over the trapped camp to Gao Shun for temporary command.

Being so loyal but not trusted, Gao Shun never complained.

But in the end, when Lu Bu was trapped in Pengcheng, it was Lu Bu's once-trusted relative Wei Xu who, together with Song Xian, kidnapped Lu Bu and surrendered.

Gao Shun, who was not trusted, once begged for death after being captured and refused to surrender.

It was only in the past few days that I saw that Cao Ang's words and deeds were all clear and benevolent, so I surrendered under the persuasion of Chen Deng and Gao Shun's old troops.

But he had just asked for surrender, but Cao Ang still put him in charge of the heavily armored camp, supplemented it by one thousand, and arbitrarily handed over 25,000 elite light infantry troops to him.

So many soldiers and horses, even more than the total strength of the old master Lu Bu.

It was something Gao Shun had never been under.

How could Gao Shun not shed tears of gratitude for such trust and kindness?

Compared with Lu Bu, who was saved by Gao Shun but was suspicious of Gao Shun, Cao Ang's unquestioning attitude and sincerity towards the newly surrendered general were like heaven and earth.

Lu Bu's magnanimity can't even lift Cao Zixiu's shoes!

Therefore, Gao Shun solemnly bowed to Cao Ang on the spot and expressed his willingness to die for Cao Ang!

In this way, Cao Ang received the sworn allegiance of Gao Shun, as well as the elite tiger army consisting of 5,000 hussars and light cavalry, 1,000 heavy armored infantry, and 25,000 light armored infantry, a total of 31,000 The Chinese army on foot and cavalry!

With these 31,000 elite infantry and cavalry in hand, Cao Ang was confident that he could compete head-on with any princes.

Even if the opponent has an army of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands!

After training the central army, Cao Ang combined Chen Deng's Guangling County soldiers and the remaining 10,000 Xuzhou surrender troops, plus the 4,000 recruits Cao Ang had previously recruited in Xiaopei, to form a first army of 20,000 troops. , is the Xuzhou New Army.

Chen Deng was in charge, and Lü Bu demoted Song Xian, Wei Xuhou Cheng and others as generals.

Although these people are betraying their masters and surrendering, on the one hand, there is a reason for everything, and on the other hand, now that Cao Ang is in the ascendant, these people will not have any second thoughts and can be trusted.

And Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, a resourceful man, can control them and lead 20,000 troops to guard Xuzhou, so we can rest assured.

As for Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other Taishan surrendered generals, Cao Ang supplied them with the remaining 10,000 troops from Changxi's old tribe, making up for the thousands of capable soldiers selected from their subordinates to be added to the central army. Due to the damage, its number of troops and horses is still around 80,000.

After Cao Ang's reorganization and training during this period, the troops of Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others have gained some momentum, which is completely different from before.

Moreover, Cao Ang supplied them with Chang Xi's 10,000 old troops, which even slightly increased the number of thousands of troops they had lost due to being picked away.

Zang Ba and others were also very happy about this, and they respected Cao Ang even more.

As soon as Xu Du's edict of commendation arrives and gives Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others the official title of governor, Cao Ang will let Zang Ba and others return to the north with their more than 80,000 troops. They were stationed in Taishan County and Langya Kingdom.

Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, used defense to contain Qingzhou, so that even if Yuan Shao reacted and wanted to deal with the Cao family and his son, he could not move his troops in Qingzhou.

In this way, Yuan Shao's troops from Youzhou to the north were attacking Gongsun Zan of Yijing, and he had to send some troops from Jizhou to fight.

This meant that they could only mobilize the troops of Bingzhou and most of Jizhou to deal with the Cao family and his son.

The main force of Cao Jun's 150,000 troops was already in Yuzhou.

Even if Lao Cao and Liu Biao confront each other, they can still allocate some troops. In addition, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong have more than 20,000 troops and horses in Chenliu to defend Yuan Shao. Chen Junqiao Rui's 18,000 troops can also go north to defend Yuan Shao without worrying about the south. Yuan Shu.

In this way, across the natural danger of the Yellow River, we can defend Xu with a force several times smaller than Yuan Shao's.

This allowed Cao Ang to concentrate on going south to attack Yuan Shu.

Of course, this is just the worst case scenario.

What is more likely is that before Yuan Shao's scheming guy had time to respond, Cao Ang had already defeated Yuan Shu and led his army back!

Speaking of Yuan Shu, we have to mention another force that Cao Ang plans to attack Yuan Shu.

That was Lejiu, Liang Gang and others who surrendered troops from Huainan.

Lejiu and Liang Gang were originally deputy generals of the Huainan Army, each commanding 20,000 troops.

General Zhang Xun personally led 40,000 Chinese troops.

In the process of organizing and training the surrender troops, Cao Ang still barely touched the organization of the army, except for selecting some strong soldiers, fine cavalry and war horses from the 80,000 Huainan surrender troops.

Therefore, the remaining more than 70,000 Huainan surrender troops are still organized.

Cao Ang asked Le to take charge of Liang Gang, but he still led his men and horses, and even allocated troops from the rest of the Huainan army to make up for the 20,000 men each.

The two surrendered generals were completely reassured and loyal to him sincerely. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

What's more, Cao Ang has sent people to assist them and brought all his family members to Pengcheng.

Without worries, they served Cao Ang even more loyally.

As for the remaining 30,000-strong Huainan Central Army, Cao Ang used some scheming to hand them over to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, each commanding more than 10,000.

As a result, Liu Bei, who originally only had a thousand remnant troops, finally had decent troops to lead, and he was worthy of Liu Bei, the left general who led the Yuzhou herd...

Cao Ang did this, of course, not doing a good thing, let alone Raising tigers is a disaster.

Of course he knew that people like Liu Bei would never settle for being dependent on others.

Even Cao Ang appreciates this.

But first of all, at this moment Liu Bei was still a Han official in the Xudu court and a subordinate of Cao Ang.

Cao Ang made great use of Lejiu, Liang Gang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other surrendered generals. If he abandoned Liu Guan and Zhang, he would have put his intention to guard against suspicion on his face.

After all, Cao Ang won Xuzhou, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang also had some credit.

At that time, if Liu Bei cries and tells the world that Cao Ang's rewards and punishments are unfair, then Liu Bei will have a chance to win people's sympathy, and Cao Ang's benevolent and righteous persona will be exposed by Liu Bei.

So Cao Ang won't let this happen.

Since Liu Bei also had merit, Cao Ang naturally had to give him the same treatment.

What's more, if nothing else, Cao Ang still wants to subdue Guan Yu, a general who is loyal and loyal throughout the ages.

Cao Ang was able to conquer the people that Lao Cao couldn't conquer. Thinking about it, he felt very accomplished.

For example, in history, Chen Gong and Gao Shun, who vowed not to surrender to Cao Cao, also surrendered to Cao Ang?

If you want to conquer Guan Yu, you must not be suspicious of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is a loyal and righteous person, he will accept soft things but not hard things.

The more sincere Cao Ang is to him, the more he will consider loyalty.

Now that Cao Ang has distributed more than ten thousand Huainan soldiers to Guan Yu, even if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei wanted to rebel and abduct these Huainan troops and leave, Guan Yu would not agree.

Even if he leaves, he will persuade Liu Bei to only take his old troops and will not let Liu Bei take away the Huainan soldiers (okay Zhao).

Otherwise, we will lose the great justice that Liu Bei and Guan Yu have always advocated, and our character will collapse and we will be ridiculed.

What's more, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Liu Bei can't resist the temptation and takes away the Huainan soldiers even if he doesn't listen to Guan Yu. That will create a rift with Guan Yu, which will be more conducive to Cao Ang's subjugation of Guan Yu.

Moreover, by that time, even if Liu Bei breaks with Guan Yu, he will not be able to take away these Huainan soldiers.

Because Cao Ang has already taken insurance, not to mention that Liu Bei's army will always be under the supervision of his main force, but also for the more than 30,000 Huainan soldiers handed over to Liu Bei, including generals, military officers, commanders, and captains. The key positions were taken over by Cao Ang during his military training from top to bottom.

Even the family members of many people were secretly transferred from Runan to Chen County for placement.

These middle and lower-level military lieutenants, generals and officers are the key to truly controlling the military strength.

After all, the general in charge of the army can only control the level of captain and commander, and cannot command every soldier.

It can be said that only those who control the middle and lower-level generals truly have military power, otherwise they will just be ignored.

If Liu Bei wanted to run away with these 30,000 Huainan soldiers, the generals who took orders from Cao Ang would directly lead their troops to mutiny, and no one would listen to Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei wants to run away, it will be difficult for him. He will directly become a rebel and his reputation will be ruined.

Therefore, this time he will attack Yuan Shu, and Liu Guan and Zhang Baibai can help lead the troops. Not only is Cao Ang not worried, he is even happy to see the success.

And just when Cao Ang had organized all his troops and was ready to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan.

The imperial edict and reward from the Xudu court finally arrived.

"The emperor ordered General Chariot and Cavalry to lead the Xuzhou Shepherd Cao Ang. He conquered the rebel generals Zhang Xun and Lü Bu, who were rebels against Yuan Shu. He captured Lü Bu and Zhang Xun alive under the palace, captured 200,000 men, surrendered Zang Ba and other Taishan generals, and recovered Xuzhou, More than ten prefectures and counties, including Mount Tai, fought vigorously and raised their eagles to strengthen the prestige of the Han Dynasty. Their contribution was tremendous!

I am hereby issuing this edict to lead Cao Ang as a Hussar General, lead Xuzhou as a herdsman, and grant the title of Marquis of Lanling, with a settlement of 5,000 households!"

The imperial envoy's voice was melodious, and he read out the news that Cao Ang was granted the title of General of Hussars and the title of Marquis of Lanling.……
