As one of the most famous generals under Cao Cao, no matter how dissatisfied he was, at Xia Houyuan's level, things like being able to reason clearly had become their most basic quality.
Why is it said that Liu Bei and the generals around him have a nouveau riche mentality, while Cao Cao's side seems to be well organized?
The question of background——
I don’t know how many years in the past, Liu Bei and the Guan and Zhang men who followed Liu Bei, regardless of their temperament, because they were the only ones who could lead troops to fight, although they were constantly defeated and fled in embarrassment, the overall strength of the army
The architecture is actually not much different from that of the Bandit.
In addition to what the first boss said, the second boss and the third boss also had their own ideas.
A strategist who suddenly came out of nowhere, not to mention whether he could convince the crowd, qualifications were particularly important in the eyes of Guan Zhang and others, but they had not figured it out yet. After occupying a large area of Jingnan, Liu Bei had already
We can no longer be a so-called one-spoken speaker like before.
He is now the master of a real power and the monarch of Jingnan, and the status of Guan Zhang and others has also changed from the previous leaders to generals in the army.
Their status has truly risen, but this also means that their responsibilities are heavier. They must not treat military orders as a child's play.
That is to say, Zhang Fei has not yet woken up. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would definitely tell Zhang Fei this immediately.
Xia Houyuan is the type who has experienced transformation - he clearly understands that although he is related to Cao Cao, more importantly, he is a general of the Han army -
But who can understand the anxiety in Xia Houyuan's heart?
…
"Mr. Xun, does General Miaocai have something on his mind?"
"No...not just General Miaocai..."
Nearly 20,000 soldiers were left to guard the city, and the remaining nearly 80,000 soldiers had been fully assigned. Under Cao Cao's call, even if some people were dissatisfied, they performed their duties obediently.
But Jiang Wan was different. As the actual decision-maker and a newcomer, although he knew a lot about Cao Jun before joining the army, he was still an outsider after all.
Now that he has become a formal military advisor, he urgently wants to know whether the generals around him have any grudges in their hearts——
"Miaocai's temper has never been like this before. Gongyan, you don't need to panic."
"Probably it was because of the previous battle in Xiangyang Xinye. Miaocai and Yuan Rang still couldn't let go of their defeat at the hands of Liu Beijun."
"I see……"
When Jiang Wan made the arrangements, he was as precise as a machine without emotion.
But precisely because of this, he also had doubts in his heart after realizing that some people were dissatisfied with the order.
Isn't it natural for soldiers to obey military orders?
In Jiang Wan's view, no matter where you are, as long as you are still in the army, orders are more important than anything else, and you should not have any unnecessary thoughts.
"If Gong Yan is worried, leave the explanation to me - he is so young and has so much on his shoulders. As a senior, I really can't bear to watch -"
Xun You smiled and stood outside the front door of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Wan, whose head was filled with important military matters, finally came out of his previous numbness.
He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xun You:
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Xun!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! We are all family members, so there is nothing to worry about."
He chuckled twice and walked out of the door, leaving Jiang Wan standing a little lonely in the room.
——War is never a game between a group of counselors. Every person in the war, every seemingly inconspicuous pawn, is a force that promotes its development.
Jiang Wan still has a long way to go in how to balance the relationship between being a good person and the battlefield.
but…
Apart from the real battlefield, war is conducted in more than just hand-to-hand combat.
——
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"I'm going to... I'm going to die! I'm going to die!! Don't continue! I'll do it! I'll do it all!"
"Let...let me go..."
In Nanzheng City, almost half of the buildings in the city were destroyed by fire. The reconstruction process could only move forward steadily because of the impending war.
Fortunately, the source of the fire was the southwest corner of Nanzheng City, and the real estate of Zhang Lu and his family suffered the most serious damage.
After getting the information about the location of Zhang Lu's treasury from Li Xiu, who almost died, Cao Cao certainly would not let such a big piece of fat go.
It can only be said that it is better to come early than to come by chance.
The Yang family and the Zhang family fought for several days, with nearly a thousand people killed and injured, but no result was achieved. Cao Cao got a big advantage as soon as he came.
When he opened the tunnel and came to Zhang Lu's underground cave, he was as rich as Cao Cao, and he was still shocked by the exaggerated amount of Zhang Lu's treasures.
Evacuate - You don't need to think too much about this order. As long as you empty this treasure house, it will be enough to make up for all the consumption of this troop dispatch.
Of course, Cao Cao was not idle in the underground caves left behind.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... you... you better let me die...let me die happily!"
"Please... don't... stop torturing me, I can do whatever you want... but why don't you speak!!"
In the past few days, the screams coming from the underground cave have been so frequent that Cao Jun soldiers guarding the Zhang Family Treasure House would feel hairy all over from time to time.
I can't blame them for this.
As for torturing prisoners, there are many such talents in Cao's army.
"Hey - listen, is that big man who was sent to prison a few days ago dying?"
On the ground, several guards were whispering to each other. Listening to the voices coming from the underground, they were gradually exhausted. They were a little happy, but of course, they were also a little worried.
"Don't think so much. After all, it's those people who took action. They won't let it go without first torturing the prisoner to the point of death."
An insider mentioned this and waved his hand, signaling not to continue the discussion.
"That group of people... Speaking of which, I haven't seen their true colors yet... I heard that their leader was a talent recruited by the Prime Minister when he attacked Jizhou..."
"Shh! Stop talking. The Prime Minister said that no one is allowed to expose their existence."
"Oh yes..."
Several soldiers hurriedly held on to their helmets and stood back to their positions - but at this moment, the huge building complex that was originally the Zhanglu Cave Mansion underground had been transformed into natural prisons.
Although there are not many prisoners in the prison yet.
But...the existence of prisoners does not seek much, but seeks to be useful.
Especially now that a war is imminent, once there is a possibility of capturing enemy generals, Cao Cao will try his best to send those enemy generals to prison.
And then... be interrogated - or rather, tortured - by a group of people who live in the shadows.
