Chapter 267: Two Sides of Danger

Cao Xuan directly used extraordinary techniques to take Fa Zheng away from Fa Xing, and a few days later, Cao Xuan said goodbye to Han Sui and others, and at this moment Han Sui and others came to send Cao Xing, although it was a send-off, but you can still see Han Sui's old face, extremely gloomy.

But Han Sui is not a fool, the more powerful Cao Xing is, the more he feels a crisis, in his opinion, Cao Xuan will definitely become his great enemy in the future.

However, Han Sui finally watched Cao Xuan and the others leave, and after Cao Xuan and the others left Liangzhou, they quickly rushed to the direction of Bingzhou.

After walking for half a month, it can basically be said that he has entered Cao Xing's territory here. This is the result of Cao Xing's westward expansion, this place is still relatively large, but all of it was used by Cao Xing to develop agriculture, animal husbandry and light industry.

So Cao Xing gave this land and named him a Jun and called him Xinjun, anyway, this can be described as the production base of Cao Xing's subordinates. After inspecting the new county and confirming that the new county was still going on steadily and unchaotically, Cao Xing returned to Bianyun County with the people.

Cao Xing went here, and after half a year, after returning to Bianyun County, Cao Xing was not idle, and immediately asked Fengyun to come back, count everything, and the result of the statistics is. Today, the population of Cao Xingzhi has reached 300,000.

The people had plenty of food and clothing, and the grain stored in the granary was enough for these 300,000 people to enjoy for seven or eight years. In this way, the transportation is much easier.

Seeing this, Cao Xing no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the recruitment. In just three days, there are countless young people who have enthusiastically joined the army in various places from Cao Xingzhi to the bottom.

After all, everyone knows that under Cao Xing's rule, if he serves in the army, then the treatment will be very good, not only will he have free meat every day, but he will even have military salaries. If the battle is won, it will be double the military salary, and even if you unfortunately die in battle, the family will also receive a generous pension.

More importantly, since Cao Xing established the Ten Jue Military Merit System, many civilian-born soldiers have seen the hope of their careers, so they enthusiastically joined the army, hoping that one day they can go into battle to kill the enemy and win the enemy's rank, so that their life destiny will be completely changed.

Cao Xing was also very happy that everyone's enthusiasm for joining the army was so high, and he ordered Chen Hu to be the commander-in-chief this time, carefully select a strong young man from these soldiers, and incorporate them into the team.

Chen Hu and the others only took a few days to hand over the list of this batch of newly recruited soldiers to Cao Xing, Cao Xing looked at the names of these people and nodded, but at the end he still picked up the pen and added a new person's name, Chen Hu and the others took a look and found that the person who was added by Cao Xuan was actually none other than Fa Zheng.

At this moment, Fa Zheng is temporarily staying in the post house arranged by Cao Xing, and he makes a lot of noise there every day, saying that since Cao Xuan arranged him here, why don't he arrange a position for him now, so let him eat here and wait for death.

Originally, Fa Zheng thought that with his talent, he could at least be a county magistrate, or a position such as a Sima in the army, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, all he waited for was a conscription order, and his Fa Zheng's name had been branded.

Thinking of the hardships that he would endure if he joined the army, Fa Zheng felt a heartbeat, no matter how he said it, he was also a literati, this Cao Xing was so unreasonable, he even let him go to hard training, he naturally resolutely refused to do it, but the matter has reached this point and can no longer help him.

In the end, amid Fazheng's wailing, crying, and begging for mercy, he still carried three or five sergeants on his back and dragged him directly into the barracks, and then his voice was completely drowned out by the sound of training.

After arranging all these things, Cao Xuan set his eyes on the 10,000 Dawan horses he had brought back.

Cultivating good horses has always been in Cao Xing's plan, but there were many things that bothered Cao Xing before, so Cao Xing's progress of these things was relatively slow, and now Cao Xing happened to be free, so he was naturally ready to do a big job.

He first brought in his wind-chasing horse, and then recruited Feng Yun and others, after all, Feng Yun was under Cao Xing's hands and was in charge of government affairs.

Cao Xing told him that now whether it is a bloody horse or a big-name horse, he has pulled enough of them, and Fengyun's next task is to quickly find a way to configure a good horse like Chasing the Wind, and then equip it with cavalry. He's of great use.

For Cao Xing's order, Feng Yun could only helplessly spread his hands to Cao Xing, in fact, Cao Xing's order could not be moved a long time ago, Feng Yun also realized that in this era of cold weapons, cavalry will become a big killer on the battlefield, as long as the cavalry is enough, it is not a problem to sweep the world.

Now Cao Xing and the others finally have such a good stallion, of course, they have to make good use of it, so Feng Yun also began to supervise these things, but it was only later that Feng Yun found that it seemed very difficult to complete this task.

Feng Yun told Cao Xing that he had basically understood the method taught by Cao Xing, which was to continuously cross and cultivate a stable appearance.

But then again, this horse is not like a fish in the water, it can give birth to tens of thousands of babies at a time, and the horse only goes into heat once a year, and it will only produce one foal at a time.

So it can be said that the number of newly born horses is very small, not to mention the problem of stability.

Hearing this, Cao Xing couldn't help frowning, what Feng Yun said seemed to be indeed a problem. Cao Xuan immediately convened everyone, and everyone held a short meeting again to discuss how to solve this problem, but this meeting was quite embarrassing, because in the end Jia Kui proposed a solution that was not a solution.

That is to prepare drugs to speed up the estrus period of horses. Although it sounded a little ridiculous, Cao Xing only thought about it for a moment and decided that this method was feasible.

So Cao Xing came to know people early and began to configure this medicine, but because ancient times were a feudal period after all. Some ideas can't be fully opened for a while, so there are fewer people who know how to do it, and there is no way, so Cao Xing has to participate in it personally.

However, since Cao Xing was born in this era, it is natural that he is not exempt from vulgarity, even if he is the lord, some things should not be too obvious, so Cao Xing directly moved the production process of this kind of thing to his home.

After studying day and night, almost a week later, Cao Xing used the knowledge of later generations to more or less finally have some eyebrows.

But at this moment, there was suddenly some bad news.

On this day, Cao Xing was in the underground maze at home, studying this chemical agent, but at this moment, a rapid knock on the door came, Cao Xing walked over to open the door to take a look, and the first thing that caught his eye was Xiao Man's delicate face.

After all, Cao Xuan once instructed that the fewer people who can enter here, the better, so Xiao Man can set foot here when he is usually fine, and send food and clothes to Cao Xing, as for other people, they are not allowed, but today Xiao Man is followed by Che Wu.

Seeing Che Wu Cao Xuan, he knew that something big would happen, Cao Xuan did not hesitate to let Che Wu and Xiaoman come in, and then asked the two of them to move a stool and sit on it.

Cao Xuan nodded to Che Wu, signaling Che Wu to say anything, Che Wu was only addicted for a moment, and finally directly took out a stack of letters from his pocket and handed them to Cao Xing, when he saw this pile of letters, Cao Xing was startled, it was full of intelligence, and the amount was so huge, it means that something really happened.

"Lord, in just two days, the situation ahead began to become a little critical, first of all, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought, Yuan Shao fought a little unpleasantly, and finally it seemed that he had found out that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban was our people, and it was we who had been harassing his grain road, so two days ago, Zhang Hegao and the two of them directly led 20,000 troops, preparing to invade our state, but they just happened to meet Marshal Xu Shu, and the two forces fought fiercely! As a result, the two sides hurt each other, and it ended hastily! ”

Cao Xuan nodded, Che Wu's intelligence organization was his eyes and ears, and some news was an hour or two faster than the eight-hundred-mile rush.

However, fortunately, Cao Xuan did not misunderstand Xu Shu, Xu Shu finally repelled Zhang and Gao Lan's troops in the form of a tough battle, and the crisis on Yuan Shao's side was temporarily lifted.

However, the most headache for Cao Xuan should be the problem in the south, the south has always been stationed with Zhang Yang's forces, not that Zhang Yang began to raise troops to attack Cao Xing again, but that Zhang Yang is difficult to protect himself at the moment, and Cao Cao, who has basically occupied Yanzhou and incorporated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, actually sent troops to the north, and wanted to attack and merge with the state.

If you ask Cao Cao why he did this, it is because there is a character in Yanzhou, that is Lu Bu, since Chang'an was breached, Lu Bu led his soldiers and horses to escape from Chang'an, and their escape is equivalent to a wandering army.

Lu Bu's first thought was naturally to return to Bingzhou, but he didn't go to Cao Xing in the end, but found Zhang Yang, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang are also old acquaintances, after all, everyone used to work together under Ding Yuan, and the relationship was not bad, Zhang Yang didn't hesitate, and directly asked Lu Bu to live with him.

As a result, Lu Bu didn't know how to provoke Cao Cao, so Cao Cao wanted to send troops to crusade against Lu Bu.

Although Zhang Yang and Cao Xuan do not deal with each other, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are opponents, Cao Xuan does not want to see Zhang Yang annihilated by Cao Cao, after all, Cao Xuan still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and more importantly, at this moment, the traitorous male Cao Cao has gradually grown up. Being a neighbor with this traitorous male, Cao Xing's heart is more or less unsteady, so no matter how Zhang Yang is, he must not be defeated by Cao Cao. Therefore, the current situation has a two-sided crisis for Cao Xing. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Strongest Marksmanship of the Three Kingdoms" to read for free for the first time.
