Great Wei Nengchen

Changed into a bright red armor, led a few guards, and held up his commander-in-chief, Cao Cao began to patrol the camp in person. The reason why he wore such a coquettish bag was to let his soldiers see, your commander-in-chief It is still there, it has not been defeated, so as to achieve the purpose of boosting the morale of the three armed forces!

Walking around the barracks with a few guards, Cao Cao was surprised. It wasn't that the situation was too bad, but on the contrary, it was great!

In just one day, earth-shaking changes took place in the barracks. The original chaotic barracks became serious and orderly. The white tents were next to each other in an orderly manner. All the soldiers had put on brand new uniforms. It was also washed clean, and there was no longer the original frowning look!

At this time, it was meal time, and the smoke was rising everywhere. Cao Cao went to have a look. The dried corn rice, the dried meat and the wild vegetable soup were enough. The soldiers were devouring the food. There is no food and grass to collect, and there is a general shortage of food in the armies of the princes. It is definitely a luxury to be able to eat such food!

"Brother, it's all thanks to Xiao Lang that the morale of the army has stabilized!" Seeing Cao Cao coming to patrol the camp, Cao Ren, who was eating with the soldiers, came over and told him what happened that day and night!

It turned out that after Xiao Yi brought the drunk Cao Cao back last night, he immediately started to rectify the whole army without taking off his armor. Because Xiao Yi has always been prestigious, and he just saved the lives of Cao Ying's generals, so everyone willingly listened to his command .

The first thing Xiao Yi did was to rectify the appearance of the army. If he wanted to restore morale, he had to start with the appearance. Xiao Yi ordered that the whole army take turns to take a bath by the Luoshui River, and burn all the blood-stained military uniforms. Doing this can not only completely clear away the shadow left by the defeat, but also prevent the plague from spreading in the army, and then change the whole army.

At this time, we can see that Xiao Yi had the foresight to seize the 'Shangfang'. As the largest workshop in the Han Empire, this place is simply a large military factory. Zhang Ji was interesting back then, leaving a lot of good things behind!

Military uniforms, weapons, armor, tents, flags, gongs and drums... almost everything that the army needs can be found here, and the storage is sufficient, enough to equip tens of thousands of troops. Then Xiao Yi sent cavalry to gather up those who were scattered In the battle the day before yesterday, there were quite a few soldiers scattered outside. If they were ignored, those people would either starve to death in the wilderness, or become rogues, plundering the people everywhere, so all the soldiers must be taken back. He is responsible to the soldiers as well as the common people. Finally, after a day and night of gathering, he brought back thousands of troops...

After Xiao Yi's hard work, Cao Jun finally regained some vitality, and he no longer had the miserable appearance when he was defeated!

"Good! Good! Wuchou is doing beautifully. With him in the future, I can save a lot of worry!" Cao Cao praised two good words in a row. Take care of these things by yourself, and you can preside over the big plan wholeheartedly in the future!

This is Cao Cao's way of employing people. He only grasps the program and does not ask other things. As a commander, he knows what he should do and what he should delegate power to. Unlike other princes, in order to firmly control the army, he must do everything himself. I also have to ask, for fear that others will hide him, but the result is that I am too tired to say anything, and my subordinates still feel that they are not trusted, which makes them alienated!

"Pass orders, beat drums and gather generals, and discuss matters in the big tent of the Chinese army!" Cao Cao has made a plan in his heart. Since he has capable people under his command, he must reuse them and bring out his full abilities. It is by no means Cao Mengde's doing to bury talents. If there are some important matters, it is time to discuss with the subordinates, the road ahead is bleak...

"Woo! Woo! Woo!..." With the sound of horns, the generals of Cao Jun who were scattered all over the place gathered in the central army tent. This is the first time Cao Cao convened a meeting after the defeat, and there must be something important. Discuss, so no one neglects!

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform, he was sitting in command. Xiahou Dun was on the left and Cao Ren was on the right. But standing there has become a problem!

According to his official position, Xiao Yi is still a small "Dianjun Sima", and his position is lower than that of all the generals in Cao Ying. Consciously stand at the end of the line!

As a result, all the generals of Cao Ying were blown up at once. Just kidding, whoever dares to stand in front of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' in a big way, even if Cao Cao doesn't punish them, the soldiers will have to drown them with spitting stars!

So this happened:

Li Dian humbly said, "Xiao Lang please!"

Le Jin humbly &039; "Xiao Lang come forward!"

Xiahou Dun gave way, "It's fine if I go to the back...

Cao Ren was also humble, "This number one position is actually prepared for you...

In the end, Xiao Yi was pushed all the way to the right side of the Shuai case. The big man respected the right, and the right was the top. This position represented that he was the number one general of Cao Ying! 'And the name is well deserved, and everyone is convinced!

"Xiao Lang listens!" After the meeting started, Cao Cao called Xiao Yi's name first.

"The humble job is here!" Face is given by others and lost by oneself. Although everyone humbly tolerates him, Xiao Yi himself will never inflate indiscriminately, and still calls himself a humble job.

"Xiao Lang first has the merits of fighting, and then has the ability to command the army. I specially named you "General Yingyang". You can cut it first and then play it!" After the handsome case, Cao Cao began to award rewards with a smile on his face, and he rewarded it in one go, so that you can't stop being rewarded!

This is also the way to employ people!

Now that Dong Zhuo has taken the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, the country is in a state of anarchy, so the officers of the various princes are basically rewarded by themselves, and the seal is also engraved by themselves. At most, they can send someone to Chang'an to report. As for whether to approve it or not It doesn't matter either.

The highest official position among military generals in the Han Dynasty is the Great General, followed by the "Hussar General and the Great Sima", followed by the "General of the Four Expeditions", and the following are all miscellaneous generals. However, Cao Cao was strict in governing the army. He never awarded rewards indiscriminately, so Xiao Yi's 'General Ying Yang' has a high gold content.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for the reward. The last general will be loyal to his duty, and go forward with all his banners!" Xiao Yi took a few steps forward and paid his respects with a military salute, but he was crying secretly in his heart. After waiting for so long, his brother was finally promoted.

"Congratulations to Xiao Lang for his promotion, we will meet General Eagle!" The rest of the generals stepped forward to congratulate him, and at the same time Xiao Yi also got a new title - General Eagle!

"Okay, let's discuss it next, what should we do next!" Cao Cao expressed his biggest worry now. The princes' pursuit of Dong failed halfway, and Luoyang City was ravaged by the war. , Some princes have already started to lack food, the next step, everyone will have to fend for themselves.

But where is the way forward?Cao Cao's subordinates have been rectified and collected, and together with the Xuanjia Army, there are now about 2 horses, no more, no less. If you want to support this army, you must have a base. , where is the place to go?

"My lord, let's go to Yangzhou. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It has never experienced the ravages of war. The people are rich. It is more convenient to recruit soldiers and food. It is a good place!" Xiahoudun first suggested that he had traveled to Yangzhou before. more familiar.

"Yangzhou? Jiangnan!" Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Wushou, what do you think, how about going to Yangzhou?"

"Go back to Mr. Cao, the general thinks it's impossible!" Xiao Yi had been thinking about it for a long time. The base area is very important. If you choose it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Although rich, but one is far away from us, and most of the soldiers in the battalion are from the north. If they rashly go to the south of the Yangtze River, they may not be acclimatized. Moreover, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, are all there. The nearby separatists, if we go to divide another piece, we will inevitably conflict with them. Compared with the current strength, we win less and lose more!"

"Yuan Shu? Sun Jian? Liu Biao? It's a problem!" Cao Cao nodded approvingly. None of these three people is easy to mess with, at least they can't deal with them now, but Jiangnan's wealth is real. It's a pity to give up!

"In addition, the last general dares to ask Mr. Cao's ambition? If Mr. Cao wants to separate himself from one side, then he can go to Jiangnan, where the people's livelihood is rich and the Yangtze River is dangerous. It is indeed a good place to be king;" Xiao Yi said here Taking a step forward, he stared at Cao Cao with eyes like black holes, "But if Mr. Cao wants to be in the world, he must gain a foothold in the Central Plains, because since ancient times—the one who wins the Central Plains wins the world!"

"Who wins the Central Plains wins the world!" Cao Cao kept chanting this sentence, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. Xiao Yi was right. Although Jiangnan is good, it can only be divided into one side. From ancient times to the present, The country has never been unified from south to north. With the courage of the overlord of Chu in the west and the power of Jiangdong, isn't it finally wiped out by Liu Bang who occupies Guanzhong!

A little closer, in the massive "Seven Kings Rebellion" back then, hundreds of thousands of rebels also separated from Wu and Chu to fight against the Central Plains, but they were wiped out in three months. Because of the terrain, they fought from south to north. It's a disadvantage, especially the elite cavalry that is necessary to traverse the world, which is a specialty only available in the north!

"Okay, let's go to Yanzhou, there is the center of the world!" Finally Cao Cao said goodbye!

"promise!……"

247. Chapter 247 Everyone is planning

The news that Cao Cao led the army back to the east immediately caused a great shock among the princes. In addition, the army's food and grass had begun to be in short supply, and people wanted to return. No one wanted to stay in Luoyang any longer. Return to the east!

The second one who slipped away was Sun Jian. As the saying goes, he has a guilty conscience, and he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his arms, which has made him sleepless for several nights. I also became wary, since I can betray one, I may betray the second; now that Cao Cao is gone, I might as well sneak away!

Without fanfare or greeting anyone, Sun Jian raised his troops overnight and sneaked away, and the marching speed was very fast. When the princes reacted, it was too late to stop them!

"Jiangdong rats, keep the jade seal privately, do you think you can slip away like this?" Yuan Shao's seven orifices are full of smoke. Escaped from my palm, "Come here, quickly send a letter to Liu Biao, Mu Jingzhou, saying that the imperial seal of the Liu family is in the hands of Sun Jian, and he will know what to do when the time comes!"

Yuan Shao's move is vicious. If Sun Jian wants to go back to Jiangdong, he must pass through Liu Biao's territory. Liu Biao is a genuine Han family clan, and he sits in the nine counties of Jingxiang and has strong strength. The princes of the opposite sex are still jealous, let alone their surname Liu.

"In addition, call all the counselors and generals to discuss the matter!"

"Promise!..." The personal guard flew away to inform everyone.

Yuan Shao is also a hero of the times. Over the years, he has used his reputation of "four generations and three princes" to attract talents. However, in the previous battles, he implemented the strategy of "preserving himself and consuming others", so he has always shown Very low-key, now it's time to grab the territory, it's time to expose my family background, and let the world see, I, Yuan Benchu, am amazing!

The four great advisers under Yuan Shao's command, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You, Feng Ji, and the two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, these people are either resourceful or brave, and they are all heroes of the moment!

"See my lord!" After all the counselors and generals arrived, they bowed together to salute!

"No! Everyone, Cao Cao and Sun Jian have already left, and the rest of the princes are also ready to move. Now we should discuss where to go!"

"My lord, Dong Zhuo hijacked the emperor and moved westward to Chang'an. The majesty of the court has been lost. After the princes go back, they will inevitably form a separatist regime, and they will continue to conquer each other. For the current plan, the lord should act first to be strong and take a piece of money. The land thinks that the foundation is the only one, but you must know that you have it quickly, but you don’t have it if you are slow!

Counselor Xu You is greedy, he plans things like a businessman, he likes to care about gains and losses, but this is exactly what Yuan Shao likes, so he nods frequently!

"In terms of abundance of money and food, Jizhou is the first among the nine states in the world. Jizhou is located in Hebei, with fertile land, a large population, and rich products. It also embraces the Bohai Sea on the left, Taihang on the right, and Yan and Dai on the back. Hu Qi in the north, and fight in the south to fight for the world, there is a geographical advantage!"

The counselor is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he knows the geography of Kyushu like the palm of his hand, so he recommended Jizhou first. It has to be said that his vision is precise, and he has a clear view of the unification of the country from north to south!

"Jizhou is a good place, but there is already an owner there. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, is still a former student and acquaintance of my Yuan family. It's not easy to do it!" His eyes were on Fengji, the advisers had their own strengths, and Fengji's advantage was that he was full of tricks!

"Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, is a man of no plans and a coward. I have a plan to take Jizhou without bloodshed." The prefect Gongsun Zan is also greedy for Jizhou. My lord can send someone to lobby and invite him to attack Jizhou together. After the matter is completed, the land will be divided equally. The governor Han Fu will ask the lord for help in panic. Advance into Jizhou, and then give him a counterattack..."
