Chapter 205: Dilemma

On the open land, Qiang soldiers, riding horses and waving scimitars in their hands, shouted their loud voices.

This is not the first time this phenomenon has been in this land of Bingzhou, and whenever the Qiang people show such signs, it means that they are going out to plunder again.

Thousands of Qiang people roared and rushed towards the army on the opposite side, needless to say, the opposite side was naturally the defenders of the Han Dynasty, although the defenders of the Han Dynasty also had thousands of people, but the Qiang people were not afraid in the face of thousands of people, and it could even be said that in the eyes of these Qiang people, there was a faint hint of contempt.

After dealing with the Han people for so many years, the Qiang people can be regarded as having figured out the characteristics of the Han people, and the Han people are suitable for arranging troops, and every time there is a war, they will always use exquisite formations, so that each soldier can do it on time and on point, of course, the premise is to meet a good commander, so that the true power of the Fa-rectification can be issued.

But if you want to form a perfect and attacking formation, you need at least tens of thousands of people, and it is obvious that the group of Han troops in front of you cannot reach this number, and they cannot form a perfect formation to resist the Qiang people.

That is to say, the Qiang people only need to rely on their equestrian skills to forcibly break through the formation formed by the Han army, and then it is a one-on-one catch and kill, which has a huge advantage for the Qiang people, after all, compared with the Han people and them, the physical strength is indeed a little insufficient, others are a nation on horseback, eating and sleeping on horseback, on the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, it is naturally stronger than the Han people, so in the eyes of the Qiang people, they will undoubtedly win this battle.

One by one, the Qiang people roared and killed the Han army, they raised their scimitars, and began their crazy slaughter, when they just approached the Han army, I saw the commander of the Han army in front, clenched the steel gun in his hand, and suddenly shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"Brothers, maybe the time has come for us to change our fate, if you want to nest in the nest for the rest of your life, or it is vigorous, it depends on your own choice, take out the deepest courage in your hearts, take out the greatest anger in your hearts, kill me!"

With the fall of the commander's words, the Han army behind him all let out the deepest roar in their hearts, in the eyes of this group of Qiang soldiers, it seems that this group of Han soldiers is temporarily stimulated to fight spirit, but if it reaches the point of hard encounter, the morale of this group of Han troops will immediately retreat, once the morale is gone, the next thing is to collapse, so this group of Han troops has nothing to fear.

It's just that what this group of Qiang people didn't expect was that when they actually met the Han army this time, they found that the Han army this time seemed to be different from the Han army in the past.

The number of people on both sides is roughly equal, so on average, it is a one-on-one heads-up, and the physical fitness of the Qiang people is indeed a little stronger than that of the Han people, but it is only a little, and there is not much difference, not to mention that now it is a life-and-death fight, and everyone kills people not with fists, but with the blades in their hands.

If you want to kill the other party, you must not only look at your physical strength, your shots, but also your courage.

In the past, when the Han army found that they were single-handed, it was difficult to defeat these Qiang people, so they had the heart of retreat, and finally collapsed into an army, but this time, when these Han troops faced them, their eyes stared directly at their heads, and the Qiang people didn't know at first, so when the real fight started, they found that the Han army in front of them was like crazy.

A relatively small Han army, facing a Qiang man who is more than nine feet tall at this moment, the Qiang man showed a cruel smile on his face, thinking that wanting to take down this Han army is no different from pinching an ant to death, but he never expected that this short Han army would burst into a loud cheer and take the lead in making a move, only to see this Han army jump high and go straight to the head of this Qiang man.

The Han army hugged the neck of the Qiang people with one hand, and held the sword in the other hand, and was ready to put it on the head of the Qiang people, where are the Qiang people willing to do it, one hand directly pinched the small wrist of the Han army, the Han army could not move at the moment, originally thought that the battle would end like this, and finally ended with the victory of the Qiang people, but they did not expect that in the face of such a situation, the somewhat weak Han army was crazy.

His hands and feet had been held down by the tall Qiang man, and the short Han soldier knew that if he didn't save himself, he might not be far from death, so at the moment of crisis, he shouted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he opened his mouth directly, and bit the Qiang man's neck with one bite.

The Qiang man couldn't help screaming in pain, and he frantically shook his body, trying to throw the short Han soldier down, but the short Han soldier seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and bit his neck tightly, but he refused to let go.

In the face of these usually fragile Han army Qiang people, this time the fight was quite a headache, they only felt that this group of Han soldiers was really crazy, and they were completely dead. All the tricks have been used, and even they can't help but want to ask in their hearts, doesn't it mean that the Central Plains is a state of etiquette? How to use such despicable means when fighting.

However, no one answered their question, and when they were in pain, those Han soldiers directly brandished the swords in their hands, and the short Han soldiers finally slowly cut off the tall Qiang heads, and then raised them in their hands, and the short navy showed a smile of relief on his face.

……

During this time, the most lively place in Bianyun County should be the military camp, except for the daily training, the soldiers stepped up training, and even sat next to each other in their spare time, and then discussed happily.

"Wow! Great, I really didn't expect that the series of reforms promulgated by General Cao were actually true, I had already won a head on the battlefield, and after submitting it, not long after, someone actually came to inform me and asked me to go to the yamen to collect things, and the people of the yamen recorded my identity and name in the household register, and then issued me a token, from today I am a soldier, and my military salary has risen from two cents a day to five cents a day, and the people in the yamen also told me, There's a good chance I'll be promoted to captain this time! ”

"I really didn't expect it, General Cao is so open-minded, he actually goes to the battlefield to kill people, and he can gain fame, money and status, this is something we can't ask for in normal times, this time we have achieved it all, and the next time I fight again, I will definitely do my best, and cut off three or five heads at a time!"

"Hehe, save it, just cut three or five of your bears, you don't look at Liu Erhei next door, his father is a pig killer, no other skills, originally our brothers looked down on him before, but he just relied on the pig killing knife method passed to him by his father, and cut the heads of twelve people on the battlefield, it is said that he was personally received by Chen Quchang, and even directly promoted by two levels, it seems that we will work hard in the future!"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the soldiers, but in general everyone expressed the idea that they would definitely do their best in the future battles and work harder in training.

And at this moment, Chen Hu was also full of smiling faces and walked into the cliff.

"Big brother, you are really a genius, just because of the birth of the tenth-level military merit system, the group of people under my command, now the combat consciousness has reached a climax, usually training is lazy, and some people have even become old fritters, it's a big deal to eat less a day, but this time they are all crazy training, every day in my military tent has been filled with military affairs, open it and see, all of them are the war books of those boys who asked for war!"

Cao Xuan just smiled and didn't speak after hearing this, but Jia Xu next to him couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud, only to hear him say to Chen Hu and Cao Xuan.

"General Cao's ten-level military merit system has mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers to a large extent, in addition, your training methods are unique, others practice once a week, you practice five times a week, and other people's army meals are average, but you have meat all of a sudden, so the army can be called the division of tigers and wolves!"

Jia Xu's words are true. Chen Hu and Cao Xing both laughed, after all, this is indeed a very good thing.

Chen Hu reported the military affairs here for a while, and Cao Xuan felt that there was no problem after hearing it, so Chen Hu went back, but not long after, a bunch of cases were sent to Cao Xing's hands, and when Cao Xing saw these cases, the whole person felt a little dizzy.

And Jia Xu looked at Cao Xing's appearance, and couldn't help but ask Cao Xing, what happened? Cao Xuan shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and directly threw the case to Jia Xu, Jia Xu took a few letters casually and looked at them, the general situation was the same, and Jia Xu also smiled when he saw this.

"This is all General Cao's layout, if you win, it will be of great benefit to you, why bother to be sad!"

Listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Xuan didn't know how to answer, he didn't know what Jia Xu was mocking him? Or what's going on?

This large pile of books lifted a stack of books, making Cao Xing smile a little, if the others were simpler, then all of them would be money.

To be more accurate now, it can be said that he has mastered the four county seats, and half of Jiuyuan County has fallen into Cao Xing's hands.

After all, Cao Xing ran three county towns at the beginning, and used a lot of policies to benefit the people, and the bustle of the world was all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world was for profit. In the end, hundreds of people gathered in the three county seats, resulting in many high-level people such as county magistrates, but there were no ordinary people working for them, so many families and officials had no choice but to move their families.

More and more people have merged into the county seat under Cao Xing's jurisdiction, and Cao Xing's four county towns together have almost more than 160,000 people.

From a long-term point of view, Cao Xing's layout is quite good, there will be development with population, but everything is two-sided, Cao Xing believes that when his plan is realized, the return will be very rich, but the investment in the early stage is not small.

First of all, in order to attract all the people to live in his county, Cao Xing approved many preferential policies, such as a three-year rent reduction and so on. The people have benefited and are naturally very motivated, but in this way, the government's tax revenue will be reduced a lot.

There is also the fact that if you want to accommodate so many people, in addition to Bianyun County, the remaining three city wall streets need to be rectified, and now Cao Xing is building Yongdao and asking for money everywhere. And the army is also a big expense.

At the end of these cases, Liu Wan, who had been doing business, wrote on it that he had sent someone to work overtime to send four million and five baht from here, temporarily solving Cao Xing's urgent need.

But then again, although Liu Wan is a businessman and his business is doing very well, he also needs a steady stream of money if he wants to maintain his business, especially now that the status of businessmen has not been completely raised, only in places like Bianyun County, after Cao Xing's reform, the status of businessmen has improved, and in other places, it is still difficult for businessmen to do business.

Therefore, Liu Wanren took out another four million and five baht, which is already the greatest support for Cao Xuan, and Cao Xuan can no longer continue to ask Liu Xuan, otherwise Liu Wan's business may not be able to continue.

"Hehe, Mr. Wenhe, although the people in the area under my jurisdiction are now living and working in peace and contentment, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere, but then again, how can I solve the dilemma in front of me!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled, touched his goatee and said to Cao Xing: "General Cao's territory is developing rapidly now, and there are places where money is used everywhere, so it is better to obtain the right to mint coins, so that the current problem can be fundamentally solved!" ”

When Cao Xuan heard this, he secretly scolded Jia Xu, the old fox, although Jia Xu has been under Cao Xing's account, and now Jia Xu, it seems that he is not fully prepared to take refuge in Cao Xing, he has been observing, so some of his suggestions to Cao Xuan are ambiguous.

Cao Xing just wanted to say that if he already had a template for coinage in his hand, would he still need to ask Jia Xu?

The key is no, if you make money privately, this is completely illegal, not to mention that the livelihood of the Han Dynasty is withering and crumbling, just say that if Cao Xing really does this, the money circulating in the market will produce two kinds, one is regular, five baht money issued from Luoyang, and the other is he Cao sex privately minted, he Cao sex privately minted, can even be called counterfeit money, once the counterfeit money increases, the market economy will be seriously disrupted, if there is more circulation, it will lead to market turmoil, and then the world will be even more chaotic.

So this suggestion was immediately rejected by Cao Xing, and Cao Xing's problem was very simple, that is, lack of money.

Jia Xu still refused to give advice to Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan had no choice but to continue to meditate, but at this moment, Xiao Man actually walked in.
