Chapter 3275 It seems that everything is reasonable
Wei Yan didn't expect that his initial starting point was just to calm Cao Ying's emotions and divert Cao Ying's attention, so that Cao Ying was not so nervous, and then he could take him into the transfer camps of Cao's army. However, he didn't expect that when he said casually, he found that Cao Ying was becoming more and more interested, and Wei Yan's heart was really moving.
Although Cao Ying tried hard to maintain the "no, don't want it", he actually seemed to pull open his pocket while walking...
Wei Yan may be slow in other aspects, but if he is involved in fighting, Wei Yan's head will be faster than anyone else.
"What? Do you still think that you can't bite your hands if you have too much money?" Wei Yan smiled and said, "Of course I can't do this with you. I still need more people. It's better to ask the Gao surname to come over now and discuss it together. For the sake of this wealth and honor, let go of any small grudges. What do you think? Cao County Zun?"
Cao Ying waved his hand, "Ah, I am the county magistrate, not the county magistrate, not the county magistrate..."
Wei Yan understood, laughed, and waved at Gao Rou, "Come here if you are surnamed Gao!"
The 'Gao' had a lot of orange-seeded wheat skin, but now people are under the eaves. Oh, under Wei Yan, they have to bow their heads, so they still barely pulled out a smile, "Ah, ah, this, General Wei, what's wrong?"
Wei Yan smiled and said, "I slashed you twice before, but my injuries were not serious, so why not?"
Gao Rou shivered for a moment. What does this mean? I want to say that it might be a slash or not, but it would be a slash to prevent the matter? If I want to say that it is really an irritating matter, would I think I was in the way?
Fortunately, Wei Yan didn't mean to keep it in hiding, so he said directly: "I think it's really hard to move without money in life! Now there is a good opportunity to get rich! Have you seen those acres? Didn't you think what's the most valuable thing next?"
"Food and Grain!" Gao Rou blurted out, then looked at Wei Yan in horror, and then looked at Cao Ying in even more horror.
Gao Rou swallowed and looked at Cao Ying, unable to believe it. "You" is surnamed Cao!
Cao Ying was stared at by Gao Rou like this, and she was a little shy. She covered her face with her sleeves, but said nothing.
Understood.
If that's the case, what else can I say?
Gao Rou suddenly felt that the wound on her leg didn't hurt much, "General Wei, everything follows your wishes..."
Wei Yan laughed loudly, then patted Cao Ying, "Don't cover your face. Think about it carefully, which camp manager has the most greedy business and will have the greatest deficit? Then we will go to find that guy first!"
After Wei Yan saw Cao Ying and Gao Rou, he became more and more convinced that his plan that he had temporarily thought of was very likely to be successful.
For corrupt people, what can’t betrayed?
Just the price.
Now that Wei Yan is in front of him, those corrupt officials may not be expected to see Wei Yan go so that they can have the opportunity to "delete the account"!
As long as a hole is torn open, when these Jizhou men are connected together and share food and money with each other, Wei Yan believes that he will become safer and safer, and can even walk sideways in Jizhou...
Because Cao Cao's interests are not the interests of Jizhou.
In Shandong, individuals, families and countries were divided and separated. The upper class took the greatest interests, while the lower class had to endure the greatest pain. Originally, the interests of the Han were the whole Han, including the interests of all families and individuals. Unfortunately, even policy makers in the court often considered not the interests of the whole Han, but their own interests first.
Only when they ensure their own interests will they consider the interests of others slightly, and may even have to cooperate with others in order to ensure their own interests...
In such a political environment in Shandong, money and power can be equated. Being an official is to be greedy for money. The more greedy, the larger the profit network, the more stable the official position will naturally become and the more able you can become a high-ranking official. Because in Shandong, fame will cost money. What is timely rain? Money is timely rain. Who can promote timely rain without money?
Under such circumstances, poverty in Shandong was a shame, and it was even equivalent to disloyalty and unfilial piety!
Because I don’t have money, I can’t hold a glorious funeral for my parents!
Even ordinary people around him would say that the family was so stingy that they were so stingy that they couldn't even hold a funeral after their parents died! They were unfilial! But they would never say that they were unhappy because they failed to eat the noodles for nothing. After all, they were eaten by others in vain back then, and now they can't eat them for nothing. Isn't it a big loss?
For example, when Guan Ning's parents died, his cousins ​​all expressed their desire to lend money to him to hold funerals. This was in the Han Dynasty, and it was not necessary to repay money in later generations! This was like the bride loan from some banks in later generations. It was not that the bride gifts were given, and that they did not need to repay the money after spending all!
It is not surprising that various strange phenomena have occurred in the atmosphere of looking at money from top to bottom in Shandong, Shandong.
Cao Ying quickly identified a person...
After all, he went to various places for inspection back then. After all, he had experience in discipline inspection. How could he not understand the actual situation?
Immediately, the entire army turned and headed openly towards the transit camp chosen by Cao Ying.
From now on, Wei Yan is no longer their enemy, but has become a "friendly army" with "stakeholders"!
...
...
Under the slope of Emei Ridge in Hedong, the first to contact the two sides who fought were actually aware that they were not the focus of the battle, but it did not mean that casualties would not come to them.
The retreat of Cao's scout led to almost all control of the battlefield being handed over to Xun Chen's side, but this does not mean that Xun Chen can be assured and bold in attacking the camp, because there are many things in Cao's camp that make the cavalry very troubled...
Double trenches.
This is almost entirely aimed at the arrangement of cavalry. For infantry, one or two layers actually doesn't matter. You can build a second piece by one board, but the space required for war horses is much more than that of humans. Although the jumping ability of war horses is better than that of humans, except for the perverted nature of Lu, most war horses have a certain range of jumping ability. Therefore, once faced with such double-layer trenches, even if the war horses jumped through the first trenches, most of them will fall into the second trenches.
In addition, Cao's army also arranged a horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse in the camp, and it was also a double-layer "male-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting horse-rejecting
The lower layer is nailed to the ground with wooden stakes and wooden frames, and it can't be pulled even if it can be pulled. Moreover, Cao Jun also pulled out a lot of ropes from a position more than one person in the air!
The main purpose is to make the cavalry careless but not the top...
Looking at the arrangements in the camp, Xun Chen could only say that he could not fight, he could not fight at all.
Even if this kind of camp breaks through the outer wall, it will be difficult to continue to damage the camp.
The reduction in combat will naturally reduce morale, no matter which side, the same is true for either side. Once the loss exceeds a certain limit, it will easily lead to the collapse of the entire army. Of course, Xun Chen could not bet on the casualties of the soldiers to bet where the line was, so he quickly ordered the big yellow crossbow to come up.
As the defensive side, Liu Zhu also saw Xun Chen's actions, but he still decided to shrank his head in the camp.
"Prepare for fire prevention!" Liu Zhu shouted, "The enemy's weapons are limited! Just carry them over!"
The soldiers of Cao's army were one after another.
It is obvious that as the attacking party, they had already walked fifteen miles from Emei Ridge. Although these fifteen miles were not very long for the cavalry, if the attack was fruitless, they had to walk fifteen miles before dark to return to Emei Ridge.
Anyway, the Cao army camp at the bottom of the slope is stuck at this pass. Unless the cavalry and his men take a detour, it is absolutely impossible to leave such a camp in the rear and ignore it and attack the Cao army's rear line directly.
Xun Chen gained the initiative on the battlefield, but the Cao army camp was also well prepared. Not only did various fortifications be built, the Cao army even changed the tents they lived in for a ground nest, covered with wood and mud, and prepared sand and soil to prevent the burning and destruction of the cavalry and horses.
Sure enough, the grenades and tinder oil shot in with a yellow crossbow outside the camp did not cause a large-scale riot in the Cao army's camp. The fire ignited was extinguished by Cao army with sand and soil, and even tinder oil could not burn freely under the wet sand and soil.
Liu Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the explosion points and fire points in the camp being suppressed and extinguished. After all, these are common tactics for the cavalry and horses, and they also showed their power in the previous confrontation. Now Cao's army seems to have begun to adapt to these cavalry tactics and respond properly, which is undoubtedly good news for Cao's army.
The two sides entangled for a while, and Xun Chen seemed to have consumed all the ammunition of the Great Yellow Crossbow he carried. He sorted out the queue and slowly retreated when the sun gradually set.
Liu Zhu in Cao's camp did not dare to send people to chase him, and just watched Xun Chen and others go away.
Both sides said goodbye to each other as if nothing had happened.
Only some red and black in the wilderness and camp seem to be the true manifestation of both sides.
...
...
The news that the Cao army camp at the foot of the slope was attacked by the cavalry army, and it was conveyed to Cao Xiu, who was in the rear.
There are some deep trenches under the Gushan Mountain, which can cover up the traces of Cao's army well.
Moreover, there are also guard posts on the Gushan Mountain to guard the world, which is really a good point.
Cao Xiu built a camp on his flank with Gushan.
Although Cao Xiu had encountered many difficulties before and knew that Xiahou Yuan and others eventually died in the battlefield, Cao Xiu's will was still firm. Cao Xiu's early wandering and suffering undoubtedly tempered his character of not being afraid of hardships. When Cao Cao raised his troops, Cao Xiu was still in Wu. He changed his name and went all the way to join Cao Cao, determined to "eliminate riots for the world". He was cruel to himself, and of course he would be cruel to others. This is undoubtedly a good quality for Cao Xiu. After all, in Shandong, there are too many people who are only cruel to others and are very gentle to himself.
Cao Xiu was on the lookout platform, looking at the terrain in the distance, his eyes flashing constantly.
He was not only planning the deployment of troops, but also thinking about Xun Chen's intentions.
If the cavalry really wanted to attack the Cao army camp down the slope, it seemed that the troops would have come less.
The key is that Fei Qian did not show up!
This shows that the Cavalry did not really want to attack Cao's army camp down the slope, or just tentative attacks, so Cao Xiu did not lead troops to support because the camp down the slope kept asking for help. However, Cao Xiu was still worried about whether the Cavalry would suddenly dispatch a large army, or followed the camp down the slope to ask for help, and followed the clues to Cao Xiu's place. Until he received the last message, saying that the Cavalry had returned to the slope, Cao Xiu was slightly relaxed.
However, Cao Xiu did not go down the watchtower of Gufeng Mountain because of the cavalry's withdrawal. Instead, he waited until his team of private soldiers came back, and summoned the private soldiers to the front and asked in a low voice: "Can soldiers be hidden in the mountains?"
The sect said: "You can hide your troops."
Although Gufeng Mountain has no water flow, there are many trees and vegetation. The surrounding yellow land is even washed away by the water vapor gathered from Gufeng Mountain. There are east-west streams in the mountains that do not dry up all year round, so there is no need to worry about drinking water, but it is impossible to store too many soldiers. After all, mountain springs are not rivers, and the total amount is still limited.
All of the Yuncheng Basin are flat, but only Gufeng Mountain and Jiwang Mountain to the north of Gufeng Mountain can be used as support points.
Especially to the south of Gufeng Mountain, there is Anyi City.
"General..." The sect said in a low voice, "If the cavalry attacks, we will still need more war horses to attack back and forth... The cavalry is mostly cavalry... If we cannot achieve success with one blow, we will lose the unexpected effect."
Cao Xiu looked around at the surrounding terrain, "There are all plains here, and it is the dominant place for the cavalry and cavalry. Only Jiwang Mountain and Gufeng Mountain can be used as evidence... If the cavalry wants to save Anyi, they will never be able to scatter and run around, and they will always come here. This is a battle to survive in death, and it is impossible to achieve everything."
The plot is also speechless.
Cao Xiu sighed, "Since you can hide your troops, go into the mountain in batches according to the original plan... Remember to clean up the traces of the camp, and let the scouts of the cavalry detect it..."
The song answered and went down to send the order without mentioning it.
...
...
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
Obviously, meetings are often only a fixed direction. What should we talk about in detail? It still requires a small meeting.
A small room was decorated very warmly, and even a painting was hung on the wall.
Cao Ren himself painted it.
Although Cao Ren didn't learn anything well when he was young and liked to hunt all day long, he was rich in family and could help him get along with some things that only elites could know while being happy.
Cao Cao also commented that Cao Ren was good at both civil and military affairs.
On the picture is a tiger descending from the mountain.
Cai Mao looked at it, his heart thumped.
This is not a good sign.
Cao Ren poured a cup of tea for Cai Mao with his own hands, and then pushed it along the table to Cai Mao.
"Digui, can three thousand soldiers be raised?"
Cao Ren was smiling at this moment, but behind the smile, there were some other emotions. Although Cao Ren was smiling now, he was actually extremely anxious.
You know, Cao Ren has no extra support here, so he can only rely on himself.
Regardless of whether there was a long time ago that Jiangdong would turn against each other, Cao Ren had to take it. In the past, Cao Ren was above, but now he was sitting in the same place with Cai Mao, staring at Cai Mao without blinking.
When Cai Mao heard this, his hand, who was about to pick up the tea bowl, stopped.
This tea is not delicious.
Cai Mao did not seem so frightened because of Cao Ren's mistake, nor did he become unyielding because of this. Instead, he was still very calm. He pondered respectfully for a while. Finally, he slowly shook his head in response to Cao Ren's earnest eyes, "Sorry, the general is really in a difficult situation. How easy is three thousand soldiers? First, there is no military reserves, and the military's capital is accumulated, and second, there is no training in daily life. Moreover, if you are drought and there is no rain everywhere, you have to be busy watering the fields, otherwise the farm will be difficult to maintain. If you recruit civilians to work, you may be... General, and this will still have a bottom line after all."
Cao Ren's face was slightly lowered, and then he forced a smile, "Haha, I thought it was difficult! Degui's military supplies were not bothered, so he would be able to complete them! It would be fine if he had not been trained, so he could teach one or two urgently and know how to advance and retreat! The bandits in Jiangdong occupied Jiangling, and they had already been plundered every day and robbed every night! If Jiangling cannot be recovered as soon as possible, Jiangdong would probably be moved away by Jiangdong, leaving an empty shell! In this way, as the head of the Jingzhou gentry, where is Degui's face?"
Cai Mao was stunned for a moment.
Oh, I actually have something like "face"?
Since he insisted on surrendering to Cao Cao, many people have muttered behind his back that he is unfaithful, unrighteous, etc., and there is absolutely nothing good to say anyway.
But is it Cai Mao alone to surrender to Cao Cao in Jingzhou? If no one from Jingzhou surrenders, just Cai Mao was shouting alone, what is the effect? ​​Of course, Cai Mao did play a very critical role in it, but the same role was also played by Liu Cong, Kuai family, and the gentry gentry in Jingzhou.
Of course, you should be scolded for itchy scalp, but are those who secretly follow it with itchy scalp and are they good people?
Nowadays, all the infamous are the ones who are born alone, while the Kuai family pretends that they are from Jiangling, not as a member of Cai Mao. The other natives in Jingzhou also said that they didn’t know at that time, they didn’t know, they didn’t understand, they didn’t understand...
This situation is obviously popular among the Cao family, so when these people scolded the Cai family, Cao Ren, who was in power, not only regarded it as not hearing it or seeing it, but even privately rewarded those who scolded Cai Mao.
It's very simple. If the Jingzhou gentry is a solid piece, it is obviously not conducive to Cao Cao's rule.
Under such circumstances, the life of the Cai family was not very easy. But now Cao Ren wants three thousand at once. Not to mention that Cai family didn't have it, it would be impossible to give it to Cao Ren if it really had it.
Cai Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's really not."
"This can be there!" Cao Ren said in a deep voice.
Cai Mao's heart suddenly jumped. Isn't Cao Ren just going to eat three fish?!
No, do you want to eat one and three?
Chapter completed!
