At the north gate of Xiangyang City, a group of Cao army soldiers stood in unison, looking extremely neat. The reason was simply because the big boss of the Cao Group came to Xiangyang in person and wanted to put on a show.
The streets have also been swept clean, but there are no spicy strips, uh, banners hanging on the city walls, saying "welcome", "come" and other words...
Classmate Lao Cao was also dressed in military uniform, standing in the middle on the top of the city with a serious look on his face.
On both sides of Cao Cao, the generals were also in armor, but they were divided into several small teams, whispering to each other in low voices.
The discussion with the Hussars has been basically settled, and the surrounding military situation has gradually calmed down. Although there was news two days ago that the Koto soldiers appeared near Nagasaka Toyo, it was later said that the invading Koto soldiers had been eliminated.
Even if Jiangdong really invades, Cao Cao is not afraid, and even has some vague expectations.
After generally determining some matters with Hussar, the specific details still need to be developed later, but today...
Cao Cao's current team is no longer the two or three guns of Dong Zhuo's period. Among Cao Cao's troops, there are vaguely divided into several small teams, including core figures such as Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren, and others such as Cai Mao and Kuai Liang who surrendered in Jingzhou
sect, not to mention people originally from Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou.
After all, in any era, if there are loyal people, there will naturally be those who sit on the wall and watch the wind and make soy sauce, ready to grease the soles of their feet at any time, or fish in troubled waters...
Classmate Lao Cao squinted his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Cao Cao had a slight cold. Although it was not serious, it seemed a bit frightening in the current epidemic. After all, Cao Cao was older. Not to mention running back and forth, he had spent a lot of time during this period and suddenly let go of something that was on his mind.
Things, coupled with the cold autumn night, it is natural to feel a little uncomfortable when being hit by the cold wind.
Now, Cao Cao, who was supposed to be recuperating, insisted on putting on a military uniform and standing on the city wall.
In the distance, several scholars who strayed away from the central area of Cao's family were smiling and seemed to be respectful. However, in fact, they were mocking each other in a subtle voice, "Look, what is it like to be a general?"
Not yet...hehe..."
"Actually, as long as we stabilize our own situation, what will happen if this hussar becomes rampant for a while? He has to mess with it. It's better now. This face, tsk tsk...hehe..."
These children are from Yanzhou and serve as minor officials in the army.
Since the Yanzhou Incident, basically speaking, Yanzhou people have been naturally pushed to the edge of politics. To say that these people are willing to do whatever is needed for the great cause of Lao Cao, well, no, yes
Just stick wherever there is an opening... Well, I always feel that something is wrong. Anyway, that's what it means... Naturally, there are some things that are unlikely to be applied smoothly...
In fact, Cao Cao has not been able to completely solve the problems left over from the previous Yanzhou.
After Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, there were two small groups with split tendencies within the Yanzhou Group at that time, namely the Yanzhou Upstart Group headed by Cao Cao and the original Yanzhou Scholar-official Group headed by Zhang Miao.
There are some special reasons for the formation of these two groups.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans may have been bewitched by Yuan Shu, or they really had no food to eat, so they entered Yanzhou like locusts. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou at that time, failed to see the situation clearly and was "unfortunately killed".
At that time, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin led a group of people to welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou. This represented the first peace negotiation between the original gentry of Yanzhou and Cao Cao.
The process was relatively smooth. After all, there was a man standing behind Cao Cao at that time...
In the early days when Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, it was considered a product of "democracy" and was supported by the people of Yanzhou. In particular, he had a good relationship with Zhang Miao. Cao Cao's old boss was willing to lower his head and talk and laugh with Cao Cao.
Zhang Miao is generally a pro-Han faction, as are Chen Guan, Zhang Chao and others, including some children of the old gentry clan in Yanzhou, who basically belong to this faction.
Before Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he was basically a qualified pro-Han faction, and the old gentry children in Yanzhou also realized that they needed a bodyguard, so the two sides made peace, but things changed soon after.
No matter how much you are a goddess with a daily price of more than two million, there are times when you get bored...
In the process of conquering Xuzhou, Cao Cao exposed his uncompromising mentality towards the old gentry forces, and at the same time, the division of key positions was uneven, which ultimately led to the Yanzhou Incident.
In fact, around the same time, Yuan Shao also faced a rebellion, and the protagonist of the rebellion was Zang Hong, who had made an alliance for him on the jujube. Before Zang Hong died, he made it very clear that the relationship between him and Yuan Shao was
The contradiction is a contradiction between political tendencies, a contradiction between "name policy" and "support of one's body", a contradiction between loyalty to the Han Emperor or loyalty to Yuan Shao, and this contradiction is still a thorny issue that Cao Cao is currently facing.
"Everyone, why are you so harsh... The biggest enemy now is the Hussar. The land of Xijing, the pass of the Three Qin Dynasty, is at the top of it. If there is some support in the future, I am afraid... you don't worry about this matter, just
It is extremely inappropriate to discuss the merits of a general!"
These young men from the Yanzhou gentry clan were startled, and turned around to look, but Dong Zhao walked up to them at some point, and hurriedly bowed to Dong Zhao, saying, "We are just talking casually, we have no other intentions, no other intentions..."
』
Dong Zhao snorted, ignored it, and continued to move forward.
When several Yanzhou disciples waited for Dong Zhao to go away, they exchanged glances with some disdain on their faces, "Look at this sacrificial wine... After a series of defeats, they are doing well..."
"That's not true...if it hadn't been for the promotion by the general...how could this person from Jizhou be so virtuous..."
"嘁嘁……"
"What?"
The people below all had their own thoughts, but Cao Cao just remained silent and independent.
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but look at Cao Cao, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. The situation here was already like this, and it seemed that it could only be like this, but Xiahou Dun still didn't understand why Cao Cao did this this time.
He actually agreed to give Fei Qian so many people?
Of course, in exchange for Guo Jia and Xia Houyuan, a certain amount is acceptable, but...does it really need to be that much?
Xiahou Dun didn't have any objections to Guo Jia and Xia Houyuan, but he felt a little distressed. After finally defeating them, Fei Qian got half of the profits invisibly!
Cao Cao's true meaning is probably hidden deep in his heart, and he will not declare it to his mouth. As Cao Cao's deputy, Xiahou Dun has been following Cao Cao for a long time. He can vaguely guess it, but he doesn't dare to do so at the moment.
Confirmation, on the other hand, seemed to be difficult to explain. After several hesitations, Xiahou Dun still hid all the words in his heart and just accompanied Cao Cao to look north.
A cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in his sight, causing a commotion above the city.
Xiahou Dun frowned slightly, then turned back to look at Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu. The two Cao Cao understood and turned around to patrol, immediately suppressing the commotion.
Not long after, I saw the three-color flag waving, and then I saw a large group of soldiers appearing on the horizon. There were almost two to three hundred people. Each soldier had a helmet on his head and body, and the sharp spear point was shining in the sun.
Dazzling light, red tassels swaying, neat and uniform.
The first person to take the lead was Liao Hua.
Behind the hundreds of soldiers led by Liao Hua, no other team followed for a while. It looked like Liao Hua was leading some people with him. I don't know if there was any change or something else.
What arrangement.
Cao Cao stood at the top of the city and did not speak. It was impossible for the other generals to cross Cao Cao and say anything. So in the silence at the top of the city, Liao Hua led his people across the Xiangyang Bridge and then to the bottom of the city.
.
Cao Cao could not hold back his composure. He waited until Liao Hua lined up outside the city and dismounted from his horse. Then he slowly took two steps forward and stood at the battlements. Then he looked at Liao Hua and waited for him to come to greet him.
"I have met the general!" Liao Hua did not do anything to deliberately show off or insult Cao Cao, but simply stepped forward and paid homage to him.
Cao Cao nodded, "No courtesy!"
Cao Cao looked at Liao Hua and sighed slightly in his heart. Why are there so many shrewd people under the hussar? Even a small military academy like this is in front of him, it advances and retreats in a measured manner, with courtesy and etiquette. It's really...
Cao Cao put up a large battle formation. On the one hand, he naturally wanted to promote the bravery of his army. This is very simple and most people can guess it. On the other hand, he wanted to kill the incoming hussars in a reasonable and legal manner.
If there is anything wrong with the personnel dispatched by the Hussar, or if they act arrogantly, Cao Cao can use his reputation as a Han general to directly turn his back and take over!
Cao Cao went to Fei Qian's place to discuss. In addition to the superficial negotiation conditions, some things were confirmed.
Fei Qian is still a big Han hussar...
Ever since humans entered primitive society, they have basically been inseparable from the word "society". Since it is a society, there are organizations, groups, classes, division of labor, etc...
From a certain perspective, Cao Cao and Fei Qian have something in common. They are both senior officials of the Han Dynasty, representing the highest power controllers in the Han Dynasty. The soldiers and generals under the Hussars can control Cao Cao.
This person is dissatisfied or hostile, but he cannot lose his courtesy towards the position of "General of the Han Dynasty".
No matter what, they are all under the overall rules of Dahan. Even if they fight, they are within this framework. This is a tacit understanding recognized by Cao Cao and Fei Qian.
"Reporting to the general, the physician from the Hundred Medical Hall was on his way and happened to see some medicine in the mountains. It was convenient for him to stop and pick it by the bank of Danshui..." Liao Hua said loudly, "That's why I'm late. Please forgive me, general!"
Although it is said to be "please forgive me", is it actually...
As long as everyone understands it.
Last night, Liao Hua was able to reach Xiangyang directly, but he still rested outside for the night. The reason was also very simple. Although Liao Hua was not sure why General Hussar entrusted him with such an important responsibility, he still had to do the best he could.
good.
There are 150,000 households, but there are still many that can be exploited. For example, there is only one person in each household, and they are still old and weak. In addition, due to the current plague in Jingzhou, some infected people will be sent over to make up the number...
General Fei Qian of the Hussars specifically asked Liao Hua to bring some doctors from the Hundred Medical Hall, probably because he expected that such a situation might occur.
To be honest, as for the future, Liao Hua naturally felt more confident in the husband, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to Guanzhong. However, when he was there, Liao Hua was still a little confused about the big man in the future.
The Han Dynasty is now divided into pieces. What will Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangbei and Jiangnan be like in the future? Liao Hua really lacks a more rational understanding. His status was not very high in the first place. It was not until the battle of Jingzhou that he improved slightly. Otherwise, let alone personally participate in it.
Even if you stand far away from such a big event, you may not be qualified.
In the future, will the Han Dynasty finally go to the Eastern Capital or return to the Xijing? Liao Hua doesn't know. But Liao Hua knows that the Hussar has the upper hand at the moment. So in this case, whether from his own point of view or from the current situation, Liao Hua
It cannot be said that it loses the dignity of the hussar, and it cannot be said that it is in vain to care about the moral integrity of the Han Dynasty. The balance between this is very difficult to grasp.
Therefore, Liao Hua finally chose to leave the doctor behind and rush to Xiangyang with his people first...
If it is the soldiers who compete on the battlefield, then it is the doctors who compete in the face of the plague.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "There are many inconveniences in the mountains, and the necessary herbs are also available in the city. It is best to ask a doctor to come to Xiangyang."
Liao Hua nodded, as if he accepted it humbly and refused to change, "I also persuaded you in the same way, but the doctors from the Baiyi Clinic all said that the herbal medicines from the mountains are the best when they are harvested and used... I am not familiar with medical skills, so I dare not make any presumption."
Conclusion...』
Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao suddenly felt a deep tiredness welling up in his heart.
The situation of the Jingzhou plague has made Cao Cao somewhat worried. Therefore, if he can use today's battle to scare some doctors who are not familiar with military affairs, and then buy them into his own army, he will undoubtedly be more secure. However, he encountered Liao Hua who played such a trick.
If it comes out, Cao Cao's plan will be completely failed.
Up and down the city, there was a response and an inexplicable feeling in everyone's heart.
"Such little thieves..." Xiahou Dun whispered beside Cao Cao, "Why don't you lead the troops and collect them all?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need, that's it..." Cao Cao was almost certain that the doctors from the Hundred Medical Hall sent here this time were not Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, so the use of force would be unreasonable.
What’s the point? The gain outweighs the loss...
Cao Cao turned his head slightly again and glanced at Dong Zhao, "Gongren, I'm really bothered by the household registration handover this time."
"My Lord's words are serious, I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities." Dong Zhao replied.
Cao Cao nodded, then glanced at Liao Hua at the bottom of the city, turned to Cao Zhen and said: "As for the reception, let Zi Dan go... Please note that this world war cannot be limited to battle formations..."
Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately accepted the order.
Cao Cao looked up at the sky, then shook his head, stopped talking to Liao Hua, and left. Cao Cao still needed to rush back to Xudu, because something happened there...
What Cao Cao and Cao Zhen said just now was apparently meant for Cao Zhen, but in fact it was not meant for others, or even for himself.
This lesson was taught by Hussar.
……(〃＞ dishes＜)……
However, this is not the end, but a new beginning...
Three days later, when Liao Hua and others started the work of registering, accepting, deploying and transporting refugees in the north of Xiangyang City, the skills displayed by Liao Hua himself, down to ordinary military officials, and even ordinary hussar soldiers,
Cao Jun who gave way to Xiangyang, as well as other nobles and clansmen, couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, and their jaws almost dropped.
As we all know, when there are more people, there are more things to do. Especially for such a large-scale migration project, once it is extremely complicated to operate, it will be like falling into a mess if you are not careful...
Why is it often said that the limit of the number of soldiers commanded by an ordinary general is three thousand? Because many times the limit of an ordinary general is right there. No matter how many people there are, it is useless. This mainly relates to the ability of overall planning, and this ability may also be innate.
However, with acquired learning and practice, some growth can also be achieved.
It is not that there was no theory of overall planning in ancient China, but there were not many people with such abilities. There is an allusion that Ding Wei, one of the Five Ghosts of the Song Dynasty, built the palace, and then used theories related to general planning to not only keep the project in order, but also
And it did not cause the project progress to conflict with each other, so that although Ding Wei's reputation was not very good, this incident still made the historian write a special book and record it in detail.
It can be seen that even in the Northern Song Dynasty, officials with some overall concepts were still rare and rare animals...
So in the current era of the Han Dynasty, a large number of ordinary people who know some preliminary overall planning knowledge, or experience, have appeared. Naturally, these guys who were originally preparing to watch the monkey show at the top of Xiangyang City became a little skeptical after seeing it in the end.
Before, almost everyone in Cao's army thought that in order to attract such a large number of people, the Hussars would need to send at least several thousand people to control them, which might be enough. But now that Liao Hua has brought these soldiers, even if they are all added
Together, there are only a thousand people, and they will definitely be in a hurry, and even ask Cao Jun for help...
Cao Zhen even thought about what he would need to say if Liao Hua really came to ask for support, so as to express the bad breath of being shot before, but when he saw that Liao Hua just gave a few simple instructions, and then brought
When his subordinates set up a huge formation on the north bank of Xiangyang and dealt with the refugees in an orderly manner, they finally understood the meaning of what Cao Cao had said before.
Cao Zhen stood on the north bank of Xiangyang Bridge, looking at the several areas separated by Liao Hua. After the refugees formed a queue under the command of the first few soldiers, they seemed to have entered the orbit and rolled forward.
, it seems so logical...
From the very beginning of the queue, to the intermediate levels and screenings, those without symptoms will continue to move forward, and those with symptoms will be isolated and treated on the spot. Only two or three cavalrymen on war horses can lead hundreds of refugees and move forward one by one.
, no one even asked Liao Hua for instructions back and forth. Everyone seemed to know which stage they were in and what exactly they had to do.
If all these soldiers were descendants of the gentry, Cao Zhen’s troops in Jingzhou Xiangyang, including Cao Zhen, would not be too surprised. The problem is that these orderly people are not gentry, but ordinary soldiers!
This is really...
Cao Zhen couldn't help but find Liao Hua, swallowed his saliva, and asked with some stuttering, "This... this, please ask Yuan Jian, how to train so that these soldiers can be so smooth..."
Liao Hua turned to look at Cao Zhen and raised his eyebrows.
"This...if it's inconvenient, haha, Yuan Jian doesn't have to..." Cao Zhen felt a little embarrassed.
Liao Hua didn't tell the truth, but he gave Cao Zhen an answer. He smiled and said, "Without him, since last year, a certain Wuguan administration has been responsible for attracting refugees... I'm just familiar with it..."
Cao Zhen:『⊙﹏⊙……』
last year!
Could it be said that Hussar had anticipated today's situation last year?!
