Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!

The soldier Ergou held the pancake in his hand, looked at the porridge in the pot, and still praised the general's generosity in his heart.

Take a bite, "Ah, I usually can't eat such a hungry thing."

When these soldiers were farming at home, they could only barely make ends meet because of the heavy taxes. Later, Xuzhou was also involved in the wave of hegemony, and the taxes must only rise but not fall.

As much as the imperial court or the local prefect wants, the county magistrate will add another yard, and the tax collector will give more.

Even those officials invented many messy and unthinkable tax items.

For example, the water fee, I have already paid a tax for digging a well, and now I still pay for the water in my yard every day.

Some people say that it would be great if there was a river at home, but can he not think of those skins?A river water fee is added every minute, and then there are food for resisting the enemy, loyalty tax and so on, just changing ways to drain the blood of the common people.

In fact, these are not bad. Some county magistrates racked their brains and couldn't come up with any new reasons, so the new tax items were simply called "taxes".

Or simply collect the five-year share in one go.

Er Gou couldn't survive anymore, so he pasted the land deed on the door of his house and fled. Anyway, he was the only one at home and had nothing to worry about.

Later, I met Uncle Liu Huang, canceled some miscellaneous taxes, and rewarded farming, so that I and some other tenant farmers returned home one after another.

Then Uncle Liu Huang was beaten away by General Jiang. I thought that the good days would come to an end in a few days. I almost packed up my things and prepared to continue fleeing. Who knew that just as I was about to leave, the neighbors nearby spread some rumors. Excited words.

"After General Jiang comes, the tax will be reduced and more miscellaneous taxes will be cancelled."

"I heard that they are planning to open a warehouse to release grain."

"Being a soldier now has enough vegetables and porridge, and two big pancakes a day!"

"Big pancake! Is it so delicious to fight for the general?"

Thinking that when I was a child, I could still see a few pieces of cakes a month, but now I have forgotten what it tastes like, so Ergou put down his bags decisively and joined the army.

Previously, he worked hard and was diligent in farming, and his body was naturally strong, so it was not a problem to join the army smoothly and become a leading soldier.

Stop thinking about it, and concentrate on the "desire to join the army" in front of you.

The cakes that Jiang Zhe distributed to the soldiers were all steamed or baked from food stored in Xiapi and Xuzhou City, which nominally belonged to the non-existing prefect in the future, but had actually become his property.

Naturally, the old ones are picked first, and then all the things that can be found are mixed together, such as wild vegetables on the mountain and all starchy things.

Regardless of the taste, at least it can fight hunger, and it is a delicious meal with enough vegetable porridge.

With a sharp whistle, Ergou quickly sent the bowl back.

This is the sound of continuing training. After eating and drinking, no one complains about how hard and tired they are.

Xiapi Fuzhong.

A special guest was honored as a guest of honor by Jiang Zhe and others.

He brought two important pieces of information.

One is to order Jiang Zhe and his troops to go north to Qingzhou and contain Yuan Shao's troops from the flanks.

The second is... this guest has become the supreme commander of the two armies.

Going north to fight against Yuan, even the local army in Xuzhou has no opinion on this one, so it's the second one... If it is really a strong general, it's fine, the problem is that this guy is Xia Houjie.

Leaving aside Jiang Zhe's understanding of him, even Xia Houba and Wu Lang had already heard about his bad deeds in Xuchang.

Molesting women, robbing civilian girls, not giving money for meals are all basic operations.

The most important thing is that he is also bullying and fearful, and even has a little congenital heart disease.

It's not because of the honor of Xiahou's surname that he can get to this position by playing jokes all day long.

This time, it was Xia Houyuan and others who recommended him to go to Xuzhou for gold plating, so Cao Cao reluctantly gave him a broken army and asked him to be the nominal Xuzhou commander-in-chief.

Under the command of Xia Houjie's "excellent" military talent, the strategy of attacking the youth was finalized without any discussion with everyone.

The reason is that Xia Houjie confidently claimed that there were only [-] Yuan troops in Qingzhou area, and not even a few cavalry, with information he did not know.

When his army arrives, these people will naturally piss off, and then he can go back to Xuchang to be promoted and enjoy the glory and wealth.

As for his "big army", Jiang Zhe and the others directly arranged to station outside the city on the grounds that they were about to leave soon, and they were afraid that the soldiers would relax emotionally.

Xia Houjie has a total of [-] troops under his command, and it is said that there are [-] people. It is not known where Boss Cao dug these "elites".

Not to mention the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the quality is still extremely poor, the training is sloppy, and the maintenance of weapons only exists on paper.

But from a spiritual point of view, these people must be good at robbing houses and women.

Also worthy of the title of "elite".

"Bandits, this tm is simply a bunch of bullies."

After finally seeing off the Lord of Plague, Jiang Zhe kept complaining to his cronies in the inner room.

"General, you are right, and I heard that Xia Houjie is narrow-minded and shameless, so I hope you are careful."

Wu Lang's conclusion based on his own understanding actually reminded Jiang Zhe.

It would be terrible if this guy went to Boss Cao to add fuel to the story and say that training the army was treason.

——It's over, and I still have to worship it as an ancestor.

Xia Houba was not good at speaking because he was related to him.

"Stop talking about this, the generals will obey orders!"

"The end is here."

Jiang Zhe changed his expression, and he felt very good when he saw the grass-roots team that had just begun to scale.

"The general ordered you and others to quickly return to the camp to mobilize the soldiers, and inform the whole army to set off in three days!"

"promise!"

The generals retreated under the orders, and Jiang Zhe stayed on the spot alone, looking at the huge map behind him that was replaced by his order, thinking about his next move.

Accidentally glanced at Xu Chang.

——I don’t know how those three children are doing now, and I don’t know if they miss me.

As for the three, of course they are Liu Fu and the others. Who would think about Cao Ning, a little witch who has one thing on the outside and another on the back.

...

At this moment, a lot of soldiers in Xuchang Prime Minister's Mansion may have been transferred due to the imminent battle, which seemed a little deserted.

As the logistics manager, Xun Yu is working hard, sorting out the material collection of all parties, and arranging the frequency and interval of transportation.

Otherwise, you will fall into the embarrassing situation where there is a backlog of food and grass but no one can transport it.

Thanks to my hair, otherwise I would have been bald.

This is also thanks to his own belief that if he chooses between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will be more loyal to His Majesty and the big man, even if it is superficial.

"Mr. Xun, come and play with me."

A pleasant girlish voice came, and Cao Ning appeared in front of Xun Yu holding a hydrangea ball.
