Chapter 71 What reward do you want?

"It's a good thing for people to be kind." Cao Cao nodded, and changed his tone: "But Yicong is a general. If he wants to represent someone who fights, his heart is too soft. It doesn't seem to be a good thing."

"This..." Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, just about to say that my soft-heartedness has nothing to do with being a general, but he stopped in time.

Because he suddenly thought that in this era, no, it should be in the eyes of Cao Cao, it seems that a general should be hard-hearted.

A military general is not qualified to be soft-hearted, a good general is a hard-hearted general.

Not only that, good generals have to be ruthless to themselves, just like Xia Houdun's eye-catching, and Guan Yu's bone scraping to heal poison, all of which Cao Cao appreciates.

And saving the dozen or so children by himself obviously did not follow Cao Cao's wishes, so Cao Cao raised this question.

How should I answer?Gao Shun frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then with a sincere expression, he said:

"Actually, it's not all about being kind and pitying them. It has to start with my life experience."

Gao Shun paused slightly, and said: "Shun lost his father since he was a child, and lost his mother before his hair was tied, so he has experienced the feeling of being without relatives and reasons.

Seeing that these children had no father or mother, they naturally had some kindness. It happened that they were not very old, so they brought them back. "

Yes, it is like that.Gao Shun thought in his heart.

This reason is not very good, but it is not very lame after all, Cao Cao will basically not bother him after hearing it.

Sure enough, after Gao Shun explained, Cao Cao nodded to express his understanding, and stopped talking.

Cao Cao didn't speak, Gao Shun naturally wouldn't bring up anything, he just waited for Cao Cao to let him go back.

Just seeing Cao Cao serving and drinking tea all the time, his mind gradually became active.

I don't know why I love tea so much, but does it taste so good now?
Gao Shun thought about it carefully. In his memory, although tea in China has a history of more than 4000 years, it gradually emerged during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Today's tea can only be said to be soaked in leaf water.

If I hadn't traveled back in time to this era, to the Han Dynasty earlier, or to the Tang Dynasty later, I could still have a tea-frying business, but now...

Just as Gao Shun was thinking, he heard Cao Cao say calmly: "The weather is getting colder, it's better to drink something hot."

"Yes." Gao Shun was at a loss, not knowing what Cao Cao wanted to express, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only answer softly.

This is the disadvantage of being under Cao Cao. If you are under Liu Bei, among other things, the big-eared thief will not kill you just because you can't speak a few words well, or if there is a slight rebellious intention in your sentences.

It is said that the big-eared thief fakes benevolence and righteousness, but he has been pretending to be benevolent and righteous all his life, but he is true benevolence and righteousness.

There was no way, Cao Cao had a profound negative impact on him. He killed his friends, his attendants, his subordinates, massacred the city, and killed prisoners. Cao Cao had really done all these things.

While thinking about it, Gao Shun pricked up his ears to listen to the next words.

He has discovered that Cao Cao likes to say half of what he says, giving people a sense of mystery that cannot be understood.

"This bandit suppression is very good, what reward do you want?"

Sure enough, Cao Cao then changed his tone and turned to the topic at the beginning, as if the middle paragraph had never happened.

"Bandits do a lot of harm to people; bandits have been harassing the people here for many years. When the bandits are finally suppressed, they must first obey Duke Cao's orders."

After saying this, Gao Shun pursed his lips slightly, put on a firm face, and said in a deep voice: "Secondly, the general has not been here for a long time, but he has some feelings and has received a lot of support from the people. Suppressing bandits is the duty of the last general, so how dare he extravagantly reward him?
If Cao Gong really wants to give it, then please give the last general more opportunities to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, so that the last general can fulfill the responsibility of a general. "

Gao Shun changed his self-proclaimed name at this time, from "I" should be "last general" instead of his own word "Yi Cong", just to highlight his identity as a general like Cao Cao.

As for the reasons he gave, the first one is false, but the second one is true.

Although it has only been less than a month since he traveled here, he has indeed received the favor of many local people.

Among other things, the soldiers under his command were persecuted by bandits, and if he had the ability, he would naturally stand up for them.

He just said no rewards, not because he was refusing, but because Cao Cao couldn't come up with, or wouldn't give him any rewards that he liked.

money?He has.

Beauty?Is there a Diao Chan?Nevermind.

It's not that he doesn't look down on other beauties, it's just that he really doesn't have other thoughts to think about these now. As for Diao Chan, he's just curious.

Official position?How much can Cao Cao give?At most, give him the position of Zhonglang General, on the same level as Zhang Liao, but no matter how high he is, he cannot be obtained by suppressing bandits.

Let Cao Cao give him more opportunities to fight the enemy, that is what he said from the bottom of his heart.

God knows how long it will take to go to the battlefield in Xudu. You must know that it is already 198 years. If the "butterfly effect" is not outrageous, he will definitely participate in the Battle of Guandu in 200 years. By then, he will definitely need as many troops as possible , the trapped camp must be stronger.

If you don't go to the battlefield, how can you upgrade your soldiers in battle?How to improve your own strength?

"How can there be no rewards? What are you saying!" Cao Cao pretended to be angry, but his face was very friendly, and he didn't know how to pretend: "The generals under my command have always been rewarded for meritorious service. How can you be bad? Breaking this rule? No amount of credit is credit!
Besides, if you don't accept the reward today, what will others think of me?They will think that I, Cao Mengde, are stingy and stingy, and I am not willing to give rewards to my subordinates. "

At the end of the speech, Cao Cao raised his finger, pointed at Gao Shun with a waggle, and said a long sentence: "You..." Then he picked up his cup and continued to sip his tea.

Come on, I still want you to be stingy and stingy, who dares?The grass on the grave of the last person who said this is probably eight feet high.

Gao Shun cursed, but with a look of sudden realization on his face, he said: "So that's the case, but the general doesn't know what reward he wants, so it's better to let Duke Cao make the decision."

"That's good." Cao Cao shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Under Lu Fengxian, you are a general of Zhonglang, but you know that after surrendering to me, the official position will naturally be degraded by one level. This is the usual practice. .”

"Understood." Gao Shun nodded, here Cao Cao didn't lie to him, or in this battle of Xiapi, all the generals he surrendered were demoted.

For example, Zhang Liao used to be the prefect of Beidi with a monthly salary of one hundred and twenty dendrobiums, but now he is a general of Zhonglang with a monthly salary of one hundred dendrobiums.

And Gao Shun was under Lu Bu's account before, although his status was slightly higher than Zhang Liao's, and Gao Shun advocated Liao's assistance in fighting, but his official position was really inferior.

Now it seems that Cao Cao should reward him as Zhonglang Future.
