Chapter 100: Stubbornness
An arrow was shot at the head of the city in Bianyun County, and the soldiers took it down and presented it to Cao Xing. Cao Xuan opened it and saw that there was a row of crooked Chinese characters written on it.
"Cao Xing, you have the courage to come out and fight!"
Seeing this sentence, Cao Xuan laughed twice, and now it has been two days since Hadoli attacked with the Qiang people, but in these two days, except for the hundred soldiers who were injured by Hadoli before, Cao Xing had no other casualties on his side, but Hadoli, every time he attacked, he would drop rows of corpses, and finally fade like a tide, so now Hadoli can't take Bianyun County at all, and even the city head of Bianyun County can't get close. After all, Cao Xing has now begun to use the well to open, and he can hurt people's lives five hundred steps away, so this makes Hadoli quite a headache.
Cao Xing ignored this letter, and the second day passed like this, but on the night of the third day, Hadoli was sleeping in the barracks, when suddenly the fire outside rushed out, shouting and killing shook the sky, and more than 1,000 cavalry directly attacked Hadoli's barracks at night.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Cao Xing was carefully reviewing the official documents in the county office, but at this moment, Zhong got up and walked in with armor.
Cao Xuan saw that Zhong Qi also stood up, asked the scribe next to him to pour two cups of tea, and then brought it to Zhong Qi's face, Zhong Qi poured the tea down, and then opened his mouth, and said to Cao Xuan excitedly.
"Lord, yesterday's night attack was very successful, beheading more than 800 horsemen, and the casualties on our side were only in double digits!"
Cao Xuan was also very satisfied with this situation, after all, he only sent more than a thousand cavalry, and it was already very good to have this number of enemies, but Zhong Qi still looked a little lost.
"It's just that when it was close to dawn, Hadoli directly ran around with people in a hurry, we chased them for a full hour, and they kept circling with us around Bianyun County, but they didn't confront us head-on, and their subordinates really couldn't catch up with them, so they retreated and came back!"
For this point, Cao Xing also expected in his heart, whether it is Xianbei or Qiang, they can be regarded as nomads, they have no fixed place, live on horseback for a long time, and want to eliminate them at one time, how easy it is to say, so even if you defeat them, you may not be able to wipe them out.
"Alright, good job, let's go down and rest first!" Cao Xuan patted Zhong Qi's shoulder and said with a smile.
And Zhong Qi also retreated, looking at the back of Zhong Qi leaving, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction in his heart, now in Bianyun County, Cao Xing's subordinates can be regarded as three generals, one is Chen Hu, one is Zhou Cang, and the other is Zhong Qi.
Cao Xing is also quite concerned about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, he has been to the barracks many times to see the three of them practice with each other, and the final result is that Chen Hu is a must whether it is cavalry or infantry, but Chen Hu's method of leading the troops seems to be a little simple, every time he fights, Chen Hu is carrying his flower axe to charge forward, relying on his huge strength and volume, as soon as he comes, he will overthrow the vanguard of others, so that the morale of people will plummet, so that the troops behind him, You can take advantage of the situation to attack and annihilate the opponent's troops in one fell swoop.
This style of play is a fierce general-type style of play, although the results are very fast, but then again, it seems that there are still some problems with relying only on the general's charge and not paying attention to any arrangement. If you encounter a general who is stronger than yourself, this style of play will be somewhat ineffective.
So in response to this kind of problem, Cao Xing once ordered Chen Hu to read a little military book every day, but according to Chen Hu's personality, he didn't want to read at all, so Cao Xing had no choice but to take coercive measures to make Fengyun work harder, go to the military camp every day, and teach Chen Hu for half an hour, anyway, take your time.
As for Zhou Cang, he is a little worse in terms of cavalry tactics, but he is very good in the infantry sequence, as for Zhong Qi's situation, he belongs to the type of drama in the middle, he can lead the cavalry, he can also lead the infantry, and he also knows some art of war, so no matter what kind of formation, he can easily control it. So for Zhong Qi, Cao Xing is still more optimistic.
However, Cao Xing sent Zhong Qi out, but he failed to hit Haduoli at one time, and Haduoli seemed to be on the bar with Cao Xing, although he couldn't win Cao Xing by fighting hard, but he just didn't go around Bianyun County, and he kept running around Bianyun County every day to see if there were any people in the past, and then carried out a surprise attack.
Cao Xuan also felt quite a headache for Hadoli's harassment tactics, and more importantly, now that the people from the imperial court are about to arrive here, if those people arrive, they find that Bianyun County is still in a high degree of war, what will they think, if it is not good, Cao Xing's hope of being the county guard will be dashed.
Therefore, Cao Xing's task for Chen Hu and Zhong Qi now is that they must personally patrol the city every day, if this group of Qiang people is five hundred steps away from Bianyun County, then they will shoot arrows and fight back, anyway, they must block them out of Bianyun County, minimize their attack on Bianyun County, as long as they wait for their food to run out, they will automatically go back.
When Cao County used this method, Hadoli's troops really felt a little difficult to move an inch, and they could only wait outside Bianyun County every day, although Cao Xuan also inquired, in fact, in this army, most of them were composed of Qiang people, they were dissatisfied with Hadoli, and they were a little unhappy about Hadoli's defeat in this war, but Hadoli was like Cao Xing, and he did not retreat.
Cao Xuan can't help it, since Hadoli wants to play, then let him play, anyway, Cao Xuan sits in the county government every day, and reads official duties comfortably.
On this day, Cao Xuan had just finished reviewing official business, stretched his waist, and just wanted to sleep for a while, but Chen Hu walked in anxiously, Cao Xuan asked Chen Hu what happened, but Chen Hu told Cao Xuan that there was a family running to make trouble at the South City Gate.
Although there are Qiang tribes harassing there now, Cao Xing only ordered everyone to close the north city gate, as for the other three city gates, they are open to let merchants come and go, so as to continuously improve the economy of Bianyun County.
Now there are almost 50,000 people in Bianyun County, after all, Cao Xing's new policy implemented in Bianyun County has made all the people have fields to grow and clothes to wear, so the people who come to settle in Bianyun County can be said to be flocking.
Bianyun County has developed from a small county town to a middle-to-upper county seat, and is even about to catch up with the county seat, and now Bianyun County is basically saturated, but this has caused some people to be dissatisfied.
For example, those people of the family, Cao Xing included all the people around him in Bianyun County, without the support of the population, what would the family do to survive, so from Liu Wan, who was wandering outside, Cao Xing got a lot of rumors about him, anyway, those upstarts of the family sent countless literati, where they criticized Cao Xing, saying that Cao Xing was simply inhumane, intolerable, and would be brought to justice sooner or later.
For these people who have already stood on the moral high ground, Cao Xing's comments can only be ignored with a smile, and they can only talk about Cao Xing there, what can be done about Cao Xing?
However, there are also some nobles of the family, they chose another way, since the population is in Bianyun County, then they are ready to come to Bianyun County to mess around, only to learn at the gate of the city that Bianyun County has been given a death order by Cao Xing, and they are not allowed to enter the family, and they are all stopped outside the city.
Of course, these big families don't do it, so every day there are groups of nobles of the family who make a lot of noise outside the city.
As for these people, Cao Xing's disposal measure is to let Chen Hu take people to enclose a piece of land outside, let these people from the family enter that land, and let them roar and make trouble. Anyway, in the end, Cao Xing just won't let go.
Of course, there are also some nobles of the family who have adopted the measure of suing Cao Xing to the county town and to the assassin Shi, but somehow, no place has responded to them anyway.
Cao Xing's conjecture about this may be the credit of Lu Bu, Lu Bu is also from a poor background, and he dare not say that he is a diligent and loving person, but he is also more or less disgusted with these families, so under his prestige, the Assassin Mansion will not come to Cao Xing's trouble, and the county town will not be bored.
Therefore, in order to be grateful to Lu Bu, Cao Xing specially ordered someone to fill a hundred jars of cold sky spirits and 50,000 yuan, and went to Shangtang to deliver it to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also accepted it happily.
"It's not the first day of this kind of thing, what do you mean by making a fuss here!" Cao Xuan asked with a frown.
Chen Hu looked a little helpless, he explained, if it was just those nobles of the family who were making trouble below, it would be easy to say, anyway, those nobles of the family dragged their families with their mouths, hundreds of people up and down, at first the momentum was huge, but in the end, after seeing that it was indeed hopeless to enter the city, they would scold and take people back separately.
However, three days ago, a young man asked to enter the city, but when he entered the city, Chen Hu asked him to hand over his identity and household registration to prove it, but it turned out to be a member of the family, so Chen Hu stopped him outside.
But the young man told Chen Hu that he wanted to see Cao Xing, he had something to say, and he also bluntly said that if he continued to play like Cao Xing, he would dig his own grave sooner or later, so he had to talk to Cao Xing.
Listening to this young man's unkind tone, Chen Hu's heart was naturally not very happy, he directly waved his hand to let the young man go back, he didn't embarrass the young man, but the young man was really stubborn, and he waited outside until Cao Xuan was willing to see him.
