Han counter current

Later, after discussing with these 30 people, Gao Lan decided to use these 30 people as the basis to rebuild Xiandeng dead soldiers. Now the 3000 people Gao Lan recruited are the second generation Xiandeng dead soldiers.

After arranging various matters, Chen Feng devoted himself to the deal with Cao Cao. In fact, Chen Feng didn't care about the deal with Cao Cao this time. He just asked Cao Cao for something and then let Cao Hong go.

The reason why Chen Feng cares so much about this transaction is not the transaction itself, but the impact of the transaction.

First, the last time Chen Feng defeated Cao Cao's cavalry was not to make enemies with Cao Cao, but to gain the capital to negotiate with Cao Cao.

Now that the capital has been obtained, it is necessary for Chen Feng to repair his relationship with Cao Cao, and releasing Cao Hong is the best way.

Second, Cao Hong has already learned some things from Chen Feng, and these things are what Chen Feng wants someone to pass on to Cao Cao.

Cao Hong played such a role unintentionally, so Chen Feng also wished that Cao Hong would go back.

Third, Cao Hong can go back, but Xu Huang cannot.Because Xu Huang can be subdued by Chen Feng, but Cao Hong is needed to help him to subdue him.

Not only does Cao Hong need to be used as a comparison, but Cao Hong himself is needed to help Chen Feng.Of course, this so-called help was also in Chen Feng's calculations.

In view of the above three points, Chen Feng of course had to carefully plan this transaction. After careful consideration, Chen Feng decided to ask Cao Cao for the three thousand euphorbia soldiers from Yuan's army who were captured during the Battle of Guandu.

These 3000 people were once the most powerful infantry under Yuan Shao's command. Unfortunately, during the Battle of Guandu, these people did not play much role.

And these people were supposed to be secretly murdered by Cao Cao, but because Cao Cao was not busy with the matter at hand, he had to postpone the processing of these 3000 people.

Now, Chen Feng wanted to seize this opportunity and ask Cao Cao for the 3000 people.

In fact, these 3000 people were indeed world-famous euphorbia fighters a few months ago, but now, these people are just prisoners locked in cells.

They are different from other captives. These 3000 people were carefully trained by Yuan Shao. At the beginning, their loyalty to Yuan Shao was nothing to say. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao did not intend to waste time to subdue these people.

In the past few months, these 3000 people lived a life that was worse than death. Needless to say, they had poor food and lived in a miserable life. The key point was that they could not see the hope of life.

It is no secret that Cao Cao wanted to kill them, it was just a matter of time. Rather than being captured, it might be better to say that these 3000 people have been waiting to die.

Over the past few months, they have long forgotten the prestige and honor of the Euphorbia warriors, their allegiance to Yuan Shao, etc., and all that is left in their minds is life and death.

More precisely, to live temporarily and die together.However, what is strange is that even if they know that they will die, these people are willing to live this kind of life that drags on day by day.

People, only when they are about to lose their lives, will they truly realize the preciousness of life.In the face of life and death, the prosperity and wealth in the past, the grievances and hatreds in the past, will appear so pale and powerless in many cases.

In fact, they didn't know whether they didn't dare to commit suicide, or whether they didn't give up hope of life at all.

Maybe someone is waiting for a turnaround, even if the turnaround is unlikely to happen.I have to admit that this group of soldiers is indeed different from other soldiers.

Even though they were whipped, ridiculed, scolded and bullied every day, they still insisted on surviving.If they were other prisoners, they would have chosen to commit suicide long ago, but they didn't.

When Cao Jun took them out of the cell, many of them could not stand still, and they would die almost at any moment. Fortunately, Cao Jun was kind to them this time.

Because this time, Chen Feng not only wanted to exchange the 3000 people with Cao Hong, but also secretly paid a thousand horses in order to impress Cao Cao. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's character, he would not agree to exchange the 3000 people. .

In fact, the success of this transaction also benefited from the change of Cao Cao's attitude towards Chen Feng. Cao Cao already understood that Chen Feng was indeed not far from being his enemy.

Just like Guo Jia also analyzed for Cao Cao, Chen Feng could not afford to be defeated, so Chen Feng would not choose a powerful faction like Cao Cao as an enemy, and Cao Cao knew this in his heart.

Cao Cao understands that Chen Feng has the heart to fight for world hegemony, so, to be precise, Cao Cao and Chen Feng have a common enemy now, they are both the Yuan family.

Cao Cao wanted to defeat the Yuan brothers, while Chen Feng wanted to benefit from the Yuan brothers. Therefore, on the surface, Chen Feng was on the side of the Yuan brothers, but secretly, Chen Feng and Cao Cao had the same goals. .

An enemy's enemy is his friend. Perhaps Cao Cao has never heard of this sentence, but he must understand the meaning of it.

The success of this negotiation saved Chen Feng a lot of trouble. Chen Feng had intentionally told Cao Cao that as long as there were three thousand more soldiers like Euphorbia soldiers, he would even exchange Xu Huang back, but Cao Cao did not give a clear reply.

Cao Cao's vague answer just helped Chen Feng a lot.However, Cao Cao didn't realize this busyness.

After the two parties successfully completed the transaction, Chen Feng led [-] cavalry to bring [-] inhuman euphorbia warriors to Liyang City.

When the 3000 people saw their familiar comrades-in-arms and saw the way back home, all of them cried happily. After waiting for several months and suffering every day, they finally got a chance to live.

Chen Feng did an examination for this group of people, and after statistics, he found that among the 3000 people, more than 200 people were seriously injured during this period, did not receive timely treatment, and could not live for a few months.

More than 500 people were no longer suitable for battle because of disabilities, and a few dozen people had to be sent home because of mental problems.

Among the remaining people, in terms of physical fitness alone, none of them met the original conditions of the Euphorbia warrior.Chen Feng finally understood why Cao Cao agreed so readily.

Because these 3000 people had been tortured and crippled by Cao Cao long ago. What Cao Cao sent to Chen Feng was not elite euphorbia soldiers, but a group of burdensome people.

Although disappointed, Chen Feng still tried his best to settle these people. At the same time, Chen Feng also wrote a military report to Yuan Shang.

As for the remaining soldiers, whether they can recover, Chen Feng has no hope for the time being.After all, they don't have that much time and energy.

In Liyang, with Cao Cao before and after, and senior officials behind him, he himself is not sure what will happen next.

However, he also knew that this would be an opportunity to win the hearts of the army, and at the same time increase the bargaining chip for Yuan Shang. As long as there is an opportunity, Chen Feng will not relax his provocations in Jizhou City.

On the third day after the 3000 Euphorbia soldiers returned, Zhang He finally put down what he was doing and came to visit these former subordinates.

At the beginning, because Zhang He had won the trust of Yuan Shao, the elite euphorbia warriors were divided into two. Yuan Shao himself was in charge of five thousand, and Zhang He was in charge of three thousand at the front. subordinates.

Can the arrival of Zhang He inject new vitality into the Euphorbia warriors?Will the Euphorbia Warriors be able to reappear on the battlefield?Chen Feng, how to win the development opportunity from Cao Cao's eyes, all of this is still unknown.

Chapter 35 Even More Busy 1

Chen Feng specially arranged a camp to settle the redeemed Euphorbia soldiers. At the same time, in Liyang, Jizhou and other places, he started his own hype. image of a good general.

This can be regarded as a stroke of genius by Chen Feng, and now he is trying to win the support of those low-level civilians and soldiers.

In his current situation, unless he puts the knife on the necks of those aristocratic families, it is impossible for those aristocratic families to give him a good look, let alone support him.

There is no way, let alone this world, even in another 1000 years, I am afraid that the situation will be similar. For a poor ghost like Cheng who has no foundation and background, how can those aristocratic families bet their wealth and life on him at this moment.

Only those poor people and low-level soldiers need a hero who can take them out of the sea of ​​suffering or bring them hope, and Chen Feng is now trying to create such a hero.

While playing these tricks, Chen Feng did not forget to spread such news in Cao Cao's territory and prisoner camps.

Many Yuan Jun prisoners have been looking forward to Yuan Shao, or which young master of the Yuan family can find a way to get them back, but unfortunately, none of the surnamed Yuan did so.

Now, unexpectedly there is a Chen Feng who has never heard of it, who has been thinking about these captured soldiers.Perhaps, some soldiers will never be saved, but when they heard the news, there was more or less hope in their hearts.

Many low-level soldiers were talking about it. Even in the camp of high-ranking officials, there were many things about Chen Feng. More and more soldiers were full of affection and curiosity for Chen Feng.

After all, in such an era, few princes or generals can do this for the sake of ordinary soldiers, and not every general can treat soldiers like a son like the Han general Li Guang.

In many cases, these ordinary soldiers are just chips and pawns in the hands of these generals, rather than living people.

Chen Feng has been thinking of ways to create public opinion. He wants fame, because he lacks it, but this kind of reputation cannot be achieved overnight, nor can it be established in any way.

Therefore, Chen Feng put his first target on the army and ordinary people. No matter what, the army and ordinary people are the capital for him to fight for hegemony.

After Zhang He visited the Euphorbia soldiers, after a night of thinking and pondering, Zhang He submitted a report to Chen Feng the next day, roughly meaning that the Euphorbia soldiers could be rebuilt.
