The four leopards used tricks to win people's hearts again, and Cao Pi bought soldiers to secretly grow his strength
I saw Daji standing beside Cao Pi and playing with the tips of his hair with his slender fingers, looking at the five of them with a smile. Shu Xuanyuan Yu looked at Daji blankly, the fairy-like Daji has the charm of a goblin, who can resist this alluring appearance? And Dian Wei remembered a light kiss that night, and couldn't help blushing like a red sun, and hurriedly said goodbye and left. And Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at each other, knowing that Dian Wei had something in his heart, and he also quit to tease Dian Wei. And Cao Pi is also a wise person, knowing that there is something to say between the four leopards and Daji, so he arched his hand and dragged Xuanyuan Yu, who refused to leave, away.
"Hee-hee, miss me?" Daji asked softly around the ends of her hair, like a shy woman.
"Go back!" The four leopards said coldly.
"What? I finally begged Lord Lu Zhi to come here to be a prisoner, you let me go back! Daji stomped her foot hard.
"Go back!" The four leopards remained unwavering.
"Why! I was sent by Lord Yuanlu Zhi, why should I listen to you? Daji was immediately annoyed, this man was really not a good thing. When I arrived in the world of flowers, I became a different person.
"Go back!" After the four leopards finished speaking, they were about to leave.
Daji stomped his feet, grabbed the wrists of the four leopards, and was aggrieved: "Don't you want to see me so much?" After all, Daji still held on to a glimmer of hope, unwilling to give up the happiness she had been hoping for for a long time.
The four leopards took a deep breath, didn't look back and just said, "The prison army is not good, it will die!" Daji already understood what the four leopards wanted to do at this time. But in front of the lord and her lover, Daji had a long time to choose.
"Go back, I'll pick you up!" At this time, the four leopards' tones softened, and they left.
At this time, Daji's heart was like honey, and the balance instantly fell to the side of the four leopards, but with the willfulness of a fox, he said to the back of the four leopards: "I won't go back, if there is another prison army without my help, he will indeed supervise the army strictly." The four leopards paused, looked back at Daji quietly, and did not speak. Acquiesced, right? Daji covered her mouth and chuckled.
In the council hall, Cao Pi and the four of them were waiting for the four leopards with a wicked smile. Only Xuanyuan Yu was crying and mourning, and there were only scratches on his face, it seemed that Cao Pi didn't see if he was facing when he dragged Xuanyuan Yu away.
"Is it done?" Cao Pi, who is usually cold, actually made a joke.
"What's the matter with my lord?" The four leopards give the five villains a big roll of the eyes and begin to change the subject.
Cao Pi didn't continue to laugh at the four leopards, and glanced at the other garden.
"But the lord said that it was okay, and there was no other way."
"Now all these troops are" Cao Pi was still not at ease, and his words were vague.
"The four leopards have a plan in their hearts, I wonder if the lord can authorize it?" The four leopards once again tested Cao Pi, and this time it was indeed too much to openly ask for rights. Cao Pi actually allowed it, and there was no doubt that the use of people was not suspicious, but it was Cao Pi who hired people. But at this time, Cao Pi saw the strength of the four leopards now, and he was even more afraid of losing this wise general, for fear of making the four leopards suspicious.
The next day, the four leopards gathered everyone in the largest square in Xuchang City. Cao Pi sat on the side with Zhang Liao and others, it seems that this time the plan is all up to the four leopards.
"I gather all men today to have a law to proclaim." The four leopards stood at the front and began to speak. The crowd began to panic, for fear that there would be another thorn in the history of oppression of the people, and everyone's hearts were full of confusion.
"The first law is to cancel the tax on Xuchang City for one year. In the second year, the tax was reduced by one-tenth of the original amount. After the first law was spoken, the crowd burst into applause. Cao Pi and Zhang Liao nodded on the side, although the military rations are important, it is important to store the military rations for yourself, not for Yuanlu Zhijun.
"The second law is that the army and the people are for the people, the people support the people, and the army supports the army. Those who do not work will have no food to distribute, and those who do not contribute will be hungry. As soon as this law was issued, the people did not object, but the army began to oppose it.
"Why? If we do our best to protect the people, they should support us! ”
"That's right! Let's farm, we are an army at war, not peasants! ”
"We farm, what about you? What about you? What about you, Cao Pi? The ugly face of the Yuan Lu Zhi army began to be revealed, and there was an attempt to pull the Four Leopards and Cao Pi into the water, and then vainly tried to make the Four Leopards cancel this law.
"We? We don't farm, we don't have food! Regardless of the army, the history of assassination, there are no exceptions for the people! Those who disobey military orders will be killed! ”
"Good!" There was another deafening round of applause from the crowd. This move of the four leopards is to capture the old people, and the four leopards are to make the Yuanlu Zhi army oppose, and in this way, the people will be more attached to the side that sings the red face. Although Yuanluzhi's army was a regular army, years of comfort had allowed them to develop various vices. Wushisan will not leave his body, if there is no Wushisan, the army of Yuanlu Zhi will be a bunch of mud that can only yawn. Although the Four Leopards didn't want to strengthen the Yuanlu Zhi army, after all, Cao Pi only had such an army. The Four Leopards could only use this method to temporarily improve Yuanlu Zhijun's physical fitness. And this trick hides a mystery, and it is a foreshadowing for the promulgation of the next law.
"The next law, now that the war is raging, in order to replenish the troops, we will collect those who want to serve Cao Pi. If you are interested, you can sign up for the army, but the army training is hard. And after this law was promulgated, Yuanlu Zhijun began to laugh loudly at the stupidity of the four leopards, and they seemed to know that the people hated Yuanlu Zhi to the core, how could there be people who voluntarily threw themselves into Yuanlu Zhi? But Cao Pi and Daji's hearts are like mirrors, Cao Pi's heart is gratified, but Daji's heart is like a needle prick.
In fact, the trick of the four leopards is very ingenious, and in that sentence it is to replenish the troops, but it emphasizes the service to Cao Pi. This is a threshold, and the dull person naturally does not understand the reason. The person who can understand that sentence to serve Cao Pi must be a clever person. The current Four Leopards just want to use this sentence to contain the dead soldiers who belong to Cao Pi, and what the dead people need most is a smart mind. The four leopards have always believed in a sentence: there are not many soldiers, but they care about the fine. A naturally intelligent person can be cultivated into a supreme master, but a naturally dull person cannot make him smarter, and the Four Leopards do not have so much time to cultivate such a person.
After the promulgation of the Three Laws, Cao Pi simply said: "One qiē acts according to the words of the gentleman, and if anyone disobeys, there will be no forgiveness." The people naturally rejoiced in their hearts, but the army of Yuan Lu Zhi dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
A month passed, and the law promulgated by Cao Pi spread far and wide to the ruins of antiquity. Nalan Ruoshui was thoughtful, and repeatedly told Yuan Lu Zhijin that Cao Pi was afraid that there would be something wrong. Yuan Lu Zhi didn't know if he was too confident, or if he didn't put Cao Pi in his eyes at all, and actually acquiesced to Cao Pi's approach.
After hearing this, the people defected to Xuchang City, and for a time Xuchang City became the most prosperous area in the entire mainland. After the promulgation of a series of laws beneficial to the people, if it were not for the reality in front of them, no one would believe that Cao Pi was Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinate. In terms of the army, it was the same as the four leopards thought, and sure enough, there were people of insight who came to Cao Pi, and Cao Pi's private army increased to more than 10,000 for a while. Coupled with the training of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Dian Wei, the three tiger generals who have been tempered on the battlefield, have trained an elite unit in just a few months. With a team of 2,500 people as a team, they were Cao Pi, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Dian Wei's subordinates.
Just when Qiē was in full swing, Xuchang City actually received a battle report: the rebel army had captured several cities one after another, and now it was approaching Xuchang.
