Chapter 71 rushed to Dongguan
Three days later, Cao Cao sent out the order.
Liu Ping was ordered to take over as the county guard of Dongguan and prepare to move the people of Dongguan County to Xu County.
Ordered Cao Ang to go with him to assist Xiahou Yuan in defending the city.
Cao Cao pondered, it is indeed not trivial to move so many people at one time, if it were not for Cao Ang, the eldest prince, to go to the town in person, the people's hearts could not be attached, and naturally they could not move smoothly.
If Xiahou Yuan is allowed to come, I am afraid it will become a massacre.
As for letting Liu Ping take over as the county guard of Dongguan, it was purely to lower his evaluation.
The matter of relocating the people, it would be good if it didn't become a chicken feather, how could there be any political achievements at all?
If the relocation fails, it means that it is not good to do things, and there is no political achievement in staying in that mountainous and poor county.
It's not a good thing inside or outside anyway.
Cao Cao was quite proud of his plan, and at the same time a little funny.
Others are afraid that their son-in-law's mud will not be able to support the wall, but he is because his son-in-law is too capable, so he has gone to great lengths to discredit his son-in-law.
After Liu Ping received the order, he was simply stunned by the very creative idea of his future father-in-law.
No matter how you look at it, it's a big pit, the kind that can't be avoided left and right.
Even if you turn 80,000 people into 80,000 pigs, it's not easy to rush to Xu County, right?
Not to mention 80,000 living people.
Who wants to leave their homeland and move somewhere else?
Unless coercive means are used, an army is sent to forcibly drive them away.
That will inevitably cause public resentment to boil, and if it provokes a popular uprising, the 5,000 defenders may not be enough to suppress it.
If you don't move......
That's right, how can I let the old father-in-law dispel this idea by himself, wouldn't it be much easier?
Although he understood that it would be no surprise that the emperor would leave Chang'an next year and be taken to Xu County by Cao Cao.
Xu County was renamed Xudu and became the location of the capital, and many people would inevitably have to be moved over.
But this kind of tiring and thankless work, whoever likes to do it, he doesn't do it anyway.
Liu Ping received the order, and the next day he took Tai Shici and Zhang Liao to Dongguan to take office.
He's already thought of a solution.
Cao Ang needs to be handed over in the barracks, and it will take some time to go.
……
Cao Cao was in the study, knowing that after Liu Ping moved, he casually asked Cheng Yu: "How many people did Ping'er bring?" ”
"There are only two domestic servants," Cheng Yu replied.
"Just the three of them?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "The soldiers are in chaos, and this kid is too careless." ”
Liu Ping had 1,000 Tuntian soldiers under his command, and it was not too much to travel as a county guard, especially to go to the newly peaceful place in Dongguan County, and bring hundreds of military horses to escort him.
But Liu Ping only brought three people.
Although Yanzhou is the territory of the Cao family, and the ground is relatively peaceful, there are still a few bandits, most of them are 3,500 people, and there are as few as 10 or 20 people.
These bandits can become people anytime and anywhere, and even ordinary people during the day, and become bandits when they cover their faces at night, and it is extremely difficult for the army to clear them.
Fortunately, these outlaws did not dare to fight against Cao Jun, and Cao Cao regarded them as scabies, although disgusting, it had no impact on the overall situation.
But Liu Ping was so bold that he only took two slaves out of the house, and if he met any small group of bandits, he would be killed.
"Quickly give way to the forbidden five hundred military horses, and secretly protect them, there must be no mistake."
"No!" Immediately a herald went down to give the order.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu began to discuss business.
Their most urgent task now is how well the labor is progressing.
Will the collected cloth be able to support the 20,000 newly recruited soldiers?
Now it seems that they were a little optimistic at the beginning, and it was not difficult for a peasant woman to weave two pieces of linen, but they ignored the problem of raw materials.
At this time, linen cloth is mainly made of hemp, ramie, chrysanthemum and kudzu, soaked in salt water or rice water, then dried, exposed fibers, and then scraped and combed with a metal dense comb to form coarse fibers, woven into cloth.
Cao Cao suddenly ordered a woman to weave cloth on a large scale, where did the woman find so much hemp?
Now that the order has just been issued, there have been several incidents of civil fighting reported by local officials, all of which were caused by the grabbing of hemp.
Although it did not cause much harm, it gave Yanzhou officials a wake-up call, and I am afraid that the linen cloth that was expected at the beginning would not be collected.
The women did not have hemp in their hands, and even if they were killed, it would be impossible to conjure cloth out of thin air.
But Cao Cao has now recruited 20,000 soldiers and started training, and he can't be disbanded and go home.
After discussing and discussing, he didn't discuss a strange trick, and he could conjure up military salaries out of thin air, which couldn't help but give him a headache.
At this time, he was no longer short of food, enough to last until next autumn's harvest, and the size of the army was still limited by military salaries.
If there are not enough soldiers to guard the rear, how can he dare to go out with confidence and attack Xuzhou?
After all, the last crisis was still vivid, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Ping was left to assist Cao Ang, and Liu Ping almost single-handedly defeated the rebels, now he has no place to stand.
Thinking of the rebels, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "How are those rebels?" ”
After the three rebels of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, and Lu Bu were arrested, they were all imprisoned in Yanzhou City, but Cao Cao did not put them in prison, but was imprisoned alone in several small courtyards.
Of course, Lu Bu has to be shackled, otherwise he will go crazy, and few people in the world will be able to clean it up.
As for Lu Bu's family, Cao Cao was imprisoned in an extremely secret courtyard, and he also specially assigned maids and servants to serve, and the living conditions were also good.
"Zhang Miao Chen Gong only wants to die quickly," Cheng Yu replied with a smile: "It's just that Lu Bu has been shouting for surrender."
He also said that he would lead the cavalry for the envoy, and the envoy would bring his own infantry to pacify the world, but it was really ridiculous to say that he was like digging into the bag to get something.
This guy is brave and fierce, but he is capricious, he has killed the lord several times, and even Yuan Shao Zhangyang does not dare to use him, and I am afraid that no one in the world dares to use it. ”
"Since Zhang Miao Chen Gong has the will to die, then fulfill him," Cao Cao smiled slightly: "As for Lu Bu, in fact, it may not be unavailable, the biggest weakness of this guy is his family, as long as his family is firmly controlled in my hands, I am not afraid of him messing around."
However, if it comes to bravery, my subordinates Dian Wei and Lu Bu are not reckless, and they are loyal to me, so why do you have to use him? ”
I have to say that although Lu Bu is portrayed as the world's number one fierce general in the romance, in real history, Dian Wei is probably stronger than Lu Bu, and in the Battle of Puyang, Dian Wei defeated Lu Bu.
When it comes to loyalty, I am afraid that a person is stronger than Lu Bu, let alone a person like Dian Wei who is dedicated to the Lord.
The reason why Cao Cao didn't kill Lu Bu was only because Cao Cao was a person who loved talents.
He had no pressure to kill Zhang Miao Chen Gong, but Lu Bu was like an unruly horse, even if he couldn't be used by me, he couldn't bear to kill him.
At this time, Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But Lu Bu's daughter is quite interesting, she begged the envoy to transfer her to the account of Prince Ping, she wants to make meritorious service to atone for her father's sins." ”
"Oh? Why Ping'er's account? Cao Cao was very interested when he heard this.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "It is said that at that time, in order to force Lu Bu to withdraw the army, Ping Gongzi took off Miss Lu's embroidered shoes, and this Miss Lu decided that Ping Gongzi was the one who defiled her chastity.
The women of Bingzhou are all martyrs, and those who defile their chastity will either be killed or married. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "Jiangmen Tiger Girl, I'm afraid that Ping'er's small figure can't contain this fierce horse, let's talk about this matter later."
Let's discuss again where this military salary will come from. ”
