Chapter 524. The plague lord is mighty
Wang Hou's success comes from two points, one is that he is a traverser, although he can't catch Cao Cao in a taxi with his governing experience and intriguing skills, but the future generations can see the tires, after all, he has more than 2,000 years more than Cao Cao's shoulders of a big giant, and the rich intestines in his stomach are several catties more than Cao Cao.
On the other hand, the source of Wang Hou's success comes precisely from his low starting point, from the low to the full climb, at the beginning of those arrogant and arrogant family valves looked down on him, did not treat him as an enemy of the same magnitude, so he didn't really spend too much effort to deal with him, and when Wang Hou pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, the little brother saved a lot, and the hands of cutting people were also practiced, and a group of bigwigs found that the momentum was not good, and they were all cut down by him.
Mr. Cao's second advantage is very similar to Wang Hou, but he lacks more innate advantages of the first point, and when he gets Wang Hou's way to make a fortune, he is already in a high position, and the shrewd ghosts of the family who have dozens of catties of flowers and intestines in their stomachs under his hands are staring at the calculations behind their backs, and then they want to do any big reforms, but they have reached the point where they will affect the whole body, and they dare not do it easily.
In order to further his ambitions, Mr. Cao did not dare to devour the interests of the wealthy families like Wang Hou did when he was in Qidi, and even did not hesitate to tear his face and start a war with them.
So, he is also fighting a decisive battle related to the future of the entire force, even if the Battle of Chibi is much higher than Wang Hou's Battle of Xiangping, but when it really falls on the battlefield, Cao's exit is much worse than Wang Hou's.
Let's just say this is the food!
Cao Jun's military rations are not lacking! Thanks to Liu Biao for his timely death, Liu Zong, who was on the throne, is a young son, cowardly and unassertive, and I have to thank Liu Bei, without such an ambitious uncle as him here, Liu Zong would not have surrendered so easily, anyway, he is not in charge of his own house anyway, who is not listening?
Even if Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou in Jingzhou, he is actually quite a nest, and the power basically falls into the hands of the local wealthy families in Jingzhou, and he has also collected a lot of people's fat and people's ointment over the years, and according to the urine of the official government in this era, everything is good, and the military rations that originally defended the north were all cheapened by Mr. Cao, and became the military rations for the northern army to attack the south of the Yangtze River.
This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang tried his best to instigate Liu Bei to attack Xiangyang after retreating from Xinye.
But if there is enough food, it is enough to eat! Want more? No! What kind of meat! Eggs! Milk! Fish! You're dreaming! Is that for you poor soldiers?
Not to mention these meaty non-staple foods, just look at the green vegetables are not enough to eat, and the hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun who are hoarded in Ulin eat the most is still the same as the dead house in the dormitory of later generations.
The millet porridge that is stronger than instant noodles is the Han Dynasty sauce with a similar nature to the old godmother, and it's gone!
"Damn, every day millet porridge is sauce, millet porridge is sauce, and a bird fades out of his mouth!"
The two teams of soldiers patrolled together, wearing the same armor, all of them were heavy infantry equipment with chain armor inside the plate armor, but listening to the words, the soft power was exposed and unintentionally walked while walking, and Zhao Ping, the leader of the Rizhao Brigade, was still muttering with a stomach full of complaints.
But listening to his words, Li Wei, the head of the overlord on the side, was too accustomed to it, and hummed indifferently: "Isn't it normal to be a soldier and fight!" You Qingzhou people are hypocritical! Isn't there just a few leaves missing! Now my army of more than 100,000 people is gathered here, and when I break through those southern barbarians on the other side of the river, then let go and grab it! How much of it was caught! ”
"Vegetable leaves? Rob? ”
The generation gap between the two armies is undoubtedly revealed, and it is indeed bitter to be a soldier to fight, but except for the second Liaodong War last year, when he braved the ice and snow to attack Xiangping City, the minimum supply standard of Wang Hou's infantry was also a vacuum of canned bamboo skin fish and a kang on the kang to make soup with extremely dry and antiseptic vegetable leaves.
As for looting, it is impossible to travel in Rizhao with a strict record, in his Wang Houyuan's words, Lao Tzu eats and drinks well to support you, pays monthly salaries and silver, and pays bonuses for meritorious service, you are Lao Tzu's buddies, and the war power is also Lao Tzu's output, and he dares to embezzle Lao Tzu's interests with his mother's insatiable greed, and Lao Tzu eats him!
This cruel blessing, coupled with the fact that it is a felony to act indiscriminately in the Qingzhou army, other troops do not care about it, in the Qingzhou army, you must maintain the formation at any time! The most common wealth robbery of soldiers in this era is not so common in Qingzhou.
Looking at the righteous appearance of this General Li Dian and his second uncle, Zhao Ping's eyes were really straight, but before he opened his mouth to refute, another strange thing happened, following Li Wei's back, the two soldiers who were not energetic when they got up in the morning, walked and walked, and suddenly fluttered and fell to the ground, unable to get up!
It's blowing up in the marching procession! **Style, Li Wei first kicked up angrily, and shouted rudely: "Get up for Lao Tzu!" Don't fucking pretend to be a bear! Watch out for the sticks! ”
But after kicking two feet in a row, the two sergeants who almost fell together were convulsive and couldn't stand up, so they felt that the situation was serious, Zhao Ping on the side took a hand on the side, and took off the heavy helmet of the person on the left casually, but at this glance, whether it was the overlord soldiers or the soldiers of the Rizhao Brigade, they couldn't help but gasp.
The skin on the neck of the person nearby has ulcerated and rotted a large piece, hideous and terrifying, and disgusting yellow-green pus is flowing downward, and the skin that is not bad is also a kind of pale, the head is already full of sweat, and the body is trembling incessantly, seeing this scene, Li Wei can't help but exhale heavily, and scolds in annoyance.
"! It's flatulence again! ”
"Brother, the rest of the camp will continue to patrol your department! We have to send these two brothers back to camp! ”
Shocked, Zhao Ping nodded subconsciously.
Carrying the two of them down, the twenty-person elite patrol of the Overlord Mansion turned back heavily, and inadvertently, Zhao Ping saw pieces of charred black scabs from their hands, the exposed skin on their necks, and even the back of Li Wei's hands, and followed his subordinates to watch the friendly troops leave, this foreign sect disciple of the Zhao clan of Langya Kingdom couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
This is not an exception, just next to the side of the military camp they patrolled, the sergeant who also had abscesses and scorched scabs on his body, his face was white, and his chest was violently swollen, and he was pushed out of the tent or shed, and there were hundreds of people basking in the sun, this is a military camp with only two thousand people, and the few military camps that had just been patrolled, more or less, were all such a scene, and the heavy one was to look at it again, and Zhao Ping suddenly turned around gloomily and shouted fiercely.
"Go back and smoke the clothes and quilts with mugwort leaves, and sprinkle them with the sulfur powder that was sent out before departure! Zhang Laosi, the big guy scraped together some money, and he had to get some vegetables and fruits anyway! If you don't want to die here like this, you should be diligent! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
It's really painful! Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, more than twenty heavy infantry suddenly agreed at the same time, and immediately followed Zhao Ping with fear, and continued to patrol forward cautiously!
The barracks in front of him were the same, with hideous scars, weak soldiers, moans of pain, the sick people lying outside seemed to be no different from the dead, the humid weather, and the mosquitoes surrounded these poor soldiers who could not move!
Something is not good!
