Chapter 2538 Some people raise their heads while others look down.
If you do more things, will there be more rewards?
Cao Shang didn't know it before, but he knew it now. He also suddenly understood why many people were unwilling to do more. He even clearly recalled the battle in the rear camp last night. The military lord looked at him strangely.
Eyes.
Is that the way you look at a fool?
Haha, idiot.
I am indeed a fool.
Why did you rush out last night? Cao Shang asked himself.
Cao Shang lowered his head, and his heart kept sinking, because he found that the aloof Xia Houshang didn't seem to want Cao Shang to say anything or do anything...
Although Cao Shang did not raise his head, from the corner of his eye, he could somewhat see Xia Houshang's appearance.
Wearing a suit of bright armor, Xia Houshang is indeed majestic.
The armor pieces on the armor are all very regular, and they seem to sparkle even inside the large tent. The carefully carved patterns flow on the edges of the armor pieces, like the breath of glory flowing.
Xia Houshang has a white face, a short beard, and a slightly blessed appearance. His slightly protruding belly cannot be stretched even by the armor belt, and it bulges out in an arc. There are at least several jade buttons and gold buttons inlaid on the belt.
, a colorful silk ribbon hangs diagonally, and under the silk ribbon hangs a sachet decorated with gold and silver threads.
Even if he didn't say anything, Xia Houshang just sat there, and an aura of wealth rushed towards him, which was suffocating!
Xia Houshang raised his head high and raised his chin.
He was also looking at Cao Shang.
In terms of appearance, although Cao Shang is not too ugly, his skin is dark, his hair is brittle, and there are some smoke and blood stains on his head and face that have not been cleaned from last night, making him look like a refugee.
If we talk about meritorious service, Cao Shang is just a warrior. He went into battle for the first time and defeated some barbarians with his bravery. He didn't even get a few first-level merits. How can we talk about meritorious service?
If we talk about talent, how much talent can a guy who has not read many scriptures and has no famous country biography have?
The more Xiahou Shang looked at Cao Shang, the more bored he became.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to give a confession... Bah, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Shang's surname was Cao, it's hard to say that Xia Houshang didn't even bother to see him!
Last night, Cao Shang reported that it was only Hu Qi?!
Actually, there is only Hu Qi?!
This is obviously the hussar army!
If he just rides wildly, wouldn't it mean that the rear camp is up and down, left and right, inside and outside, from Qu Changjunjunhou to Duwei Xiaowei, and even himself, the commander of the rear camp, has lost his face?
On the ground, let it be trampled on?
What a bastard!
Here, a certain person represents the Han court, the military power of the Han Dynasty, and the family majesty of the Cao family and the Xiahou family!
In the end, he didn’t even fight Hu Qi?
Then there is such a small grain transport officer who maintains order in the rear camp?
Is it ridiculous?
ridiculous!
Ridiculous?
absurd!
"...chirping..." Some voices echoed in the big tent.
Xia Houshang closed his eyes slightly, suppressing his anger deep in his eyes, and then focused his attention again on the young general in front of him, his nephew Xia Houdao.
Xia Houdao is much more pleasing to the eye. He is young, handsome, with a fair face, full of vitality, tall and straight waist, and articulate. He is talking eloquently, "...the general is strategizing, and although he is being harassed, it is okay, just a mere thief."
How can soldiers be shaken? As the saying goes, the Liao River is cold but the western mountains are clear, the brilliance is condensed and the dusk is purple. They are like soldiers on the military road, attacking barbarians with waved sleeves, driving away bandits and soldiers like turning the palms of hands, and fighting in the Youbei like exploring bags.
.And with the loyalty of all the military academies, the personal presence of the halberds, and the soldiers and civilians returning home and serving their lives, why can't great achievements be achieved? What do the barbarians have to fear? Having generals here and all of you working together is a blessing to the country.
, the blessing of the great man..."
Xia Houshang nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
Is this what people say?
To do things, you must first be a good person. If you don't know how to be a good person, you won't be able to do anything.
Hello, hello, hello, everyone, is really good. If you don’t know how to behave, you can’t talk about having both ability and political integrity!
Everyone knows how to fight and kill enemies, but if you want to be a good person, manage relationships well, and handle people around you well, can you just kill people with a knife and a gun? To be a human being is to weave yourself as a point into the web of up, down, left, and right, and become this
As a part of the Internet, you must have a view of the overall situation. How can you become a big success if you only care about your own small calculations?
Now my nephew is obviously a bit talented!
Look, how well it is said, victory belongs to everyone, not just one person!
Last night, we defeated, um, defeated, um, no matter what, the enemy retreated and the rear camp was saved. Is this the credit of one person? If it weren’t for the entire battalion, up and down, left and right, front and back, everyone’s credit
With joint efforts, can we save the rear camp? Look back at the military intelligence report written by this bastard Cao Shang, what kind of bullshit is it?
Let’s not talk about literary talent. I’m sure those from Xiaojiazi can’t be said to have any literary talent. Just looking at the content can make people angry to death!
What does it mean to be improperly arranged, resulting in scattered farmers outside the camp, causing riots when the Hu cavalry attack? That is called taking advantage of the enemy's opportunity! First arrange the civilians outside to slow down the impact of the local cavalry! Such an exquisite arrangement turned out to be "
"Improper"? What's "inappropriate" there?
Let’s look at what is called ineffective command. As a result, the soldiers in the rear camp were at a loss as to what to do. They were in chaos and failed to form an array, so that they were attacked by random cavalry. What can this be called ineffective command? This is obviously to invite the king into the urn and lure the enemy deeper! The enemy cavalry can be outside.
Can you catch it? Shouldn't you let it in and fight? Even if there is a slight loss, doesn't the enemy also suffer losses? Why don't you mention this? You are simply a bastard!
Then there are the "slow reaction", "cavalry failure", etc., a series of these are all bastard words!
They are all separated from the masses, the Cao Xiahou family, Prime Minister Cao, and the nonsense made by the Han court!
If it weren't for the sake of...
Well, considering that his surname was Cao, I had already ordered him to be pushed out of the camp gate and beheaded!
Xia Houshang nodded with satisfaction and signaled Xia Houdao to retreat.
“Where is the grain transport officer?”
Like the universe, it is majestic.
Cao Shang lowered his head, took a step forward, and prostrated, "I'm here, my official."
Xia Houshang narrowed his eyes and asked: "A certain lord ordered me to lead the emperor's army to fight here and defeat the invading enemies... I want to ask you, who did you receive the order and what did you do? Hmm."
?』
It doesn't matter what the truth is, because most people just want the real fragrance. So those who dare to tell the truth often ruin the jobs of other people.
Xiahou Shang decided that this was the last chance for Cao Shang.
It doesn't matter if you don't have literary talent. Don't you have a sample essay? Have you asked Xia Houdao to read it aloud? You can say as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you tell it dryly. The important thing is that the direction must be correct.
If the direction is wrong and the steps are inconsistent, can we still be a family?
If we are not a family, do we still need to take care of them?
Xia Houshang almost made it clear that he was not representing himself now, he was talking to Cao Shang on behalf of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Cao, and an organ of state violence such as the army!
Then he asked Cao Shang what position he stood on and what did he represent?
For a moment, there was extremely silence in the big tent.
Cao Shang lowered his head and looked at the ground.
Inside the tent is a floor.
The floor is camphor wood board.
It is very wide, at least made of camphor wood that is more than 20 to 30 years old. The wooden board is also painted, and even if it is stepped on, it is still shiny, and only some wood grains can be seen faintly.
This is a good thing. With such camphor wood spread on the ground, not to mention the bugs in the soil, mosquitoes will not come even in summer! Insulation from cold and heat to repel insects has many benefits, but the only disadvantage is that it is expensive.
But being expensive is not a disadvantage for Xiahou Shang.
Only for Cao Shang, it is a shortcoming.
Although it is also "Shang", this "Shang" is not the other "Shang".
"Why don't you answer?" Xiahou Shang swollen his belly, shook the wind and thunder, and pointed his finger at Cao Shang like a halberd, "Could it be that you despise the military law?"
At this time, here, Xia Houshang represents the military law!
Cao Shang still lowered his head, with the protrusions of bones exposed on his neck, "Xia Guan..."
Cao Shang suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry and his breath was a little uneven. He even started to tremble slightly because of this, as if he was afraid, but in fact he was angry.
Xia Houshang was angry, and Cao Shang himself was angry.
"The official...failed...to understand...the general, the general's exquisite deployment, unauthorized...to command the soldiers...in the battle, disrupted...the general's arrangement, the official...the official...is guilty...guilty...
…』
Xia Houshang smiled and continued to raise his head, revealing the Adam's apple on his white and tender neck.
Is this true?
Like human speech.
Then he doesn't look too disgusting anymore, more or less like a human being.
You have to know how to be a good person!
Xia Houshang coughed slightly, as if he was clearing his throat and preparing to make a judgment, or as if he was giving a secret code for others to understand.
A military commander next to him stood up, raised his hands in salute, and said: "General Mingjian, although the grain transport officer left his post without authorization, overstepped his command, and disobeyed military orders, he was still motivated by a temporary desire and did not cause any serious harm... Please forgive me, general."
Second-rate……"
Xia Houshang pondered, playing with the jade ring worth fifteen thousand yuan in his hand, as if he was playing with the whole world.
This military prince is the military prince who divided the soldiers between Cao Shang and Cao Shang. As long as Cao Shang is fine, then he will be fine. Cao Shang is not guilty, so his behavior of dividing the troops is naturally not guilty, and he may still be meritorious!
So when others didn't stand up, he had to stand up first to support Cao Shang.
With this military leader taking the lead to lubricate it, things went much smoother later on. One after another, people stood up to support Cao Shang and pressed against his anus, indicating that Cao Shang was still a good comrade. Occasionally, he made some small mistakes, which was not a problem.
After all, everyone makes mistakes. Knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things. Cao Shang should be given a chance. Only then can he show the magnanimity of General Xiahou Shang and his magnanimity as the commander-in-chief of an army!
Suddenly, there was a scene of support and love in the big tent.
Xia Houshang smiled with satisfaction.
This can reflect the spirit of unity, unity and love!
This is the group that can overcome all difficulties and achieve all kinds of victories!
What are you afraid of a small setback? As long as you overcome this small setback, a broader future is ahead!
"Good." Xia Houshang nodded and smiled, "Since everyone said so, I can't ignore everyone's opinions! Cao Ziyuan, get up... I'll write it down for now. You still need to reflect on it, do you know?"
』
Cao Shang stood up slowly, still lowering his head, "I understand."
"Okay, step back. Come on, take a step away and have a good rest..." Xia Houshang gave the guard around him a look and ordered.
"Your Majesty...Resign..." Cao Shang backed up. From the corner of his eye, he could see the people around him nodding and smiling at him kindly. They looked like they were trying to eat him alive when he entered the tent just now.
The appearance is completely different, which makes people wonder if the two worlds are confused.
Following Xia Houshang's guards out of the tent, a little laughter came from behind. There seemed to be some cheerfulness and pleasure in the laughter. Cao Shang knew that the laughter was not necessarily laughing at him, but it made Cao Shang feel
The laughter was so harsh that it made his face turn red and his breathing was not smooth.
Cao Shang followed the guards in a daze and arrived at the baggage camp. Then, under the guidance of another servant, he took a good bath.
When the warm water washed away the dirt and blood stains between Cao Shang's fingers, Cao Shang felt that his soul seemed to be fading and flowing away with the dirt and blood stains, as if he had just taken off a
The cicada, which has a thick outer shell, still feels the biting cold wind even in warm water.
Is this you?
Cao Shang felt very ashamed.
My whole body was shaking with shame.
But what can he do? Argue on the spot and argue? Directly point out Xiahou Shang's various problems and the various shortcomings in the entire back-road camp? Then can he still live? If he can't survive, what will happen to his wife at home?
What should I do?
His mother is not a high-ranking official, and his wife is not a wealthy family. What they worry about every day every day every year is how to keep the family fed and clothed with limited money. For this reason
, his mother was scratching and scratching, wishing she could break a copper into two halves. She hadn't changed into a decent outer skirt for many years. She always said that when people are old, they need whatever clothes they can, as long as they can wear them.
His wife, on the other hand, works day and night. He has to go out to fight, and all kinds of things at home, big and small, naturally fall on his wife. She has to take care of the elderly, and even more, the children. She is busy from morning to night every day, just like a living person.
It keeps spinning like a whipping top.
Do you have the qualifications to insist on your own truth and then abandon everything else? Cao Shang knew that if he continued to insist on his previous opinions and rhetoric, he would surely be dead.
Yes, he saved many people in the rear camp, including civilians and soldiers, some he knew and some he didn't know...
But what's the use?
These people have no mouth, no tongue, and no voice. Those who can make sounds are not these people. Maybe these people can see, but what's the use?
It's useless. Just like last night, they might have expressed their gratitude to Cao Shang again and again, and even kowtowed to pay homage. But if they saw Cao Shang being dragged to the camp gate and beheaded today, who would stand up?
Will the civilian husband stand up?
Will the soldiers stand up?
Anyone?
Who could it be?
Cao Shang knew this.
He knew, just like he knew that he himself was the same. His voice was too soft, even in the back camp, it was easily covered up, and then he could only hear the voices of others, and he only
Can shut up.
The hot soup gradually cooled down, just like Cao Shang's heart.
Cao Shang scooped up some cold water and covered his face. Then he stood up, wiped the water casually, turned around the screen, and was about to put on his clothes. When he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.
one time.
The robe, leather armor, etc. that were originally hanging outside and stained with blood, mud, and various stains were gone. They were replaced by brand new fine linen robes, a bright red cloak, and exquisite inlaid armor.
Even the Doudou has been replaced with a brand new one...
Cao Shang was stunned for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand, took off his brand new robe and armor, and put it on.
The delicate linen clothes stick to the skin, neither scratching nor irritating. It is as soft as a girl's skin, which seems to make every pore of Cao Shang laugh. The lined armor is put on the body.
, suddenly it was as if the cold was isolated, and the ice cold accumulated in the body seemed to be removed.
The inside of the bag is also clean. There are no lice or black bugs crawling around, and there is no oil or dirt that cannot be scraped off. The bottom is made of fine flannel and the outside is brand new cowhide. It is most suitable for weather like this.
Wear it inside.
And a bright red cloak...
The belt, combat boots, and even the battle knife with some gaps in its mouth were replaced with brand new ring-shou swords.
"Dang clang..."
Cao Shang drew his sword.
The cloud pattern of the Bailian Sword vaguely shows strength and beauty on the back of the sword.
This knife alone is worth all the equipment he had before.
And now...
On the sharp and shining blade, Cao Shang saw his own face. The face seemed a little twisted and deformed, which made his heart skip a beat, and then he sheathed the knife with a clang.
After taking a breath, Cao Shang regained his composure, then walked out of the tent with his head lowered.
Outside the tent, Xiahou's guards were already waiting. When they saw Cao Shang coming out, they didn't say anything. They didn't even take a second look at Cao Shang's new clothes and armor, and said lightly, "Follow me."
He led Cao Shang back into the camp. After turning a few corners, he stood outside a tent, opened the door curtain, and motioned for Cao Shang to enter.
"Here, this is your tent... Mark down the location yourself, don't make a mistake by walking in the wrong direction... If anything happens, just tell the soldiers on duty outside... By the way," Xiahou's guard took out one from his arms.
The new waist card was thrown to Cao Shang, "This is given to you by the general... The general also has another sentence..."
"..." Cao Shang looked down at his waist badge, "Please tell me..."
"The so-called clansmen, first there is a clan, then there are people..." Xiahou's guard stared at Cao Shang, "Can you understand?"
Cao Shang nodded, "Understood."
"It's good to understand," Xiahou's guard turned around and said as he walked out, "By the way, you don't have to worry about your food transportation errand. Now you are with us... Let's have a drink together next time we have a chance... Take a break
Well, I’ll order your dick tomorrow, and I’ll call you then…”
Xiahou's guard waved his hands and left.
The sound of footsteps faded away.
Above the belt is a brand new position, a leader of the direct guard of General Xiahou Shang.
After a while, Cao Shang slowly raised his head and heard the bones in his neck seem to click.
After standing there for a long time, Cao Shangfang felt the corners of his eyes were cold, but he didn't know when he shed tears...
