Chapter 972: The Rewards and Punishments Are Clear

To be honest, after knowing Xu Chu's situation, it can be said that the vast majority of people think that Xu Chu is still not wrong. After all, it was the lord who let him enter the city, and it was the lord's order, so as a subordinate, of course you have to obey your lord's order, so you can do it.

However, some people think that Xu Chu is still not doing right, after all, you Xu Chu is the personal guard of the lord, so what does the personal guard do, who doesn't know. Therefore, you should always be by the side of the lord and be responsible for protecting the lord's safety. But the lord asked you to leave, and you left, isn't this disloyal to your duty? Fortunately, this time the lord is fine, or it depends on what you Xu Chu should do.

And Xun Yu next to Cao Cao, he looked at Xu Chu expressionlessly. But the heart said that this matter can be solved by his own father-in-law, and it will be solved very well.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao knew what Xu Chu meant, he first waved his hand, and then raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha!" Xiaoxiao just cast a cold arrow, but I didn't know that I, Cao Mengde, had already taken precautions against this! ”――

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao got off the war horse, and then helped Xu Chu up with both hands.

His lord came down to help him personally, of course Xu Chu couldn't do that thing that didn't let his lord help him, it was really rude.

At this time, I heard Cao Cao say again, "This matter is not Zhongkang, Zhongkang was personally sent into the city by me, so this time I am in danger." Nothing to do with Zhongkang! ”

Cao Cao's words can be said to have cleared up Xu Chu's relationship. Cao Cao wasn't such a calculating person originally, to be honest. Although he was also scared, he knew that he couldn't blame Xu Chu, if he really said something weird, it was still himself. But I'm still careful, I can be regarded as saving my life, or else. It's scary to think about.

Even with a character like Cao Cao, he can't be afraid of anything. And there are a few people who don't care about their lives, what is the difference between Cao Cao and him?

Xu Chu listened to his lord's words. He hurriedly said: "My lord, the last general should not leave, so please punish the lord!" “

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, took Xu Chu's hand and said. Zhong Kang doesn't have to be stubborn. Since I let Zhong Kang enter the city, then Zhong Kang naturally will not disagree. And now fortunately, there is nothing wrong, so Zhong Kang does not have to blame himself! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xun You and gave Xun You a look, which means that he has spoken to you.

To be honest, Cao Cao would definitely not punish Xu Chu. And I have to say a few words of comfort. This is what is necessary to be a lord, to buy people's hearts. Of course. If you really want to accept the hearts of your subordinates, many times it must not be achieved overnight, and this matter has to be done slowly, slowly.

Of course, Cao Cao knew Xu Chu's loyalty and loyalty, but he believed that from this incident onwards, Xu Chu could only be more loyal and loyal to himself, so his goal could be said to have been achieved.

And letting Xun Yu speak at this time is naturally to give Xu Chu a step down. I also know that his words are sincere, but Xu Chu is good-looking and stubborn, so he is really, it is impossible to directly say that he is not guilty, so he can only let Xun You speak, and no one else is suitable-

Xun You naturally understood what his lord meant, and he said in his heart at this time, it seems that he really has to get a horse, and his lord will not let him go.

At this time, I heard him say to Xu Chu, "General Zhongkang doesn't have to be like this, he doesn't have to be like this. Although General Zhongkang felt guilty about this matter, fortunately, the lord was safe and sound. As for the general entering the city, he was also ordered by the lord, so the general did not have to be attached to this. In the future, if you have the opportunity to kill more enemies and make meritorious contributions, then it is the best, I believe that the lord also thinks the same! ”

Sure enough, I saw Cao Cao is nodding straight, "Yes, yes, that's right!" Zhongkang doesn't have to blame himself, this matter is not yours, now that our army has won a big victory, it is time to celebrate, not here! ”

Hearing what his lord said, Xun You also spoke, and several colleagues came over and persuaded Xu Chu a few words. In this way, Xu Chu didn't say much. Of course, who wants to be punished, Xu Chu is naturally even more unwilling. But he really thinks that he is responsible, so he blames himself in his heart, and then he lets his lord do this-

So at this time, as soon as he listened to the words of his lord, Xun You's words, and everyone's words, Xu Chu finally stopped being stubborn.

At this time, Cao Cao asked, "I don't know who shouted it just now?" ”

Didn't a soldier shout before, is the lord careful, so Cao Cao heard it, but he didn't know which soldier shouted, so he asked again.

A soldier stood up from the crowd, "My lord, it's small. ”

Cao Cao glanced at this soldier, there was nothing special, "What's your name?" ”

"Hui, Hui Lord, the little one's name is Li Gen!"

His father was in his forties when he had him, and he was such a child, so he was named such a child.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and then said, "Okay, Li Gen, you're fine!" Let's go and claim the reward in a moment, 5,000 dollars! Five pieces of silk cloth! ”――

When Li Gen heard this, he immediately smiled, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand at him. Let him retreat, and then say to everyone: "Our army has always had clear rewards and punishments, and today the city is broken. Everyone has worked hard, and everyone has credit, so I want the whole army to celebrate one day, everyone go! ”

When all the Yanzhou soldiers heard this, they were all overjoyed. To tell the truth, when Li Gen was rewarded before, most of the soldiers were envious and jealous in their hearts. To be honest, don't look at it, it's five thousand dollars, five pieces of cloth. But for these people, that's a lot, so can you not be envious and jealous of Li Gen.

However, his lord said at this time that he would celebrate a day, and the soldiers were happy. Say celebrate. It must be to slaughter the sheep, there is meat to eat, and the food is improved, can they not be happy?

When good things don't come to you, you can only be envious and jealous, but if you have good things when you have them, you will naturally be happy, aren't people like this?

At this time, all the Yanzhou soldiers shouted in unison. "My lord! Lord! ”

and shouted long live, but Cao Cao only laughed at this. Then let everyone disperse, what to do and what to do, after all, you still have to clean up the battlefield.

Then at this time he said to the generals, "Everyone, let's go to the mansion and meet those people!" ”

"No!"

Everyone agreed in unison, knowing that their lord was going to the county mansion, just to see the surrender first, and it was also those Wuling officials who were accused by their own soldiers, and then it was the celebration banquet, has it never been this routine, everyone is too familiar with it anymore. Truth be told, it never seems to have changed anything, it always has been.

The group went straight to the county magistrate's office, and then there were a series of appeasements, and then they came out to calm the people, these things-

To be honest, Cao Cao rewarded Li Gen before, but in fact, Li Gen's words did not play a big role in Cao Cao at all.

At least Cao Cao had already seen the cold arrow, and it happened almost at the same time, but Cao Cao still rewarded Li Gen, so I have to say that this is the mind of the lord.

Cao Cao can buy people's hearts, and if he is like Xu Chu, then of course he also knows how to buy the hearts of all soldiers. On the side of the Yanzhou army, there has always been clear rewards and punishments, Xu Chu is right, naturally he can't be punished. And Li Gen has merit, of course, he should be rewarded. Yes, Li Gen's words are basically of no great use to himself, but others don't know it, and the soldiers don't know either. They just knew that Li Gen reminded them that there was merit, so Li Gen should be rewarded.

To put it bluntly, this is what Cao Cao did for everyone, to the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army and even some of the people of Linyuan City who were secretly looking at themselves. Cao Cao just wants everyone to know that his Yanzhou army has always had clear rewards and punishments, and meritorious service will definitely be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it must be punished-

Let's put it this way, the military discipline of the Yanzhou Army is second to none in the world, and it is not for nothing that you take a good look now.

From Cao Cao, to the generals, to the ordinary soldiers of the Yanzhou army, it can be said that they all know clearly what the rules are in their own army. Especially Cao Cao, who is the lord, has never forgotten to let his subordinates and everyone understand this. Cao Cao led by example, or there would be no allusion to cutting his hair and acting as the head, so isn't that because of this?

Even if he, the lord of the horse, was frightened and trampled on the people's crops, he had to be punished, let alone the Yanzhou army.

Moreover, the person in charge of punishment in the Yanzhou army is Yu Ban Yu Wen, and it can be said that Cao Cao is still very satisfied with the ban. At least Cao Cao knows very well that Yu Ban has two major characteristics, which should be said to be advantages and strengths. This first is naturally that he is an expert in military training, and he is definitely one of the best in the Yanzhou army. And the second is that he is extremely strict with the soldiers, and the constraints on the soldiers are very large, so Cao Cao has always been relieved to let him be in charge of the punishment of the Yanzhou army.

And over the years, Yu Ban has done things, Cao Cao has seen it in his eyes, it is indeed good, in this regard, he has not seen the wrong person-

So take a look, although Yu Ban really has a lot of shortcomings. But Cao Cao is really, and he values him a lot. After all, he is really a person, but he is not useless. Therefore, Cao Cao's reuse of his people is not without reason. It's just that what Cao Cao hasn't seen now is that Yu Ban is still not loyal enough to him to the Yanzhou army, but now he has not been threatened by his life or suffered any damage, so naturally he can't see anything.

Yu Ban took his soldiers to chase Huo Jun all the way. It's a pity that they were all chased out of the city, but Huo Jun and their shadows are gone.

Yu Ban didn't think that his speed was very slow, but now the situation is. It's true that they're gone. He knew that this was the reason why he was not familiar with the road, so even if it was daylight, he didn't find out where Huo Jun and the others went. There are several roads. But where are you going to chase it? Who knows. And Yu Ban also understood, since he didn't see the shadow of anyone at this time, he basically couldn't catch someone, so he should hurry back to Linyuan to give his main bus errand, or what else can he do.

In the end, Yu Ban had no choice but to lead the troops back again, which was the same as Zhang Fei chasing Han Dang, it was all in vain. Even Han Dang knew how to escape without being caught, which was in his best interest. So let's not say it's Huo Jun's person-

Huo Jun went all the way north, preparing to go directly to Nanjun.

Although the south of Nanjun is Liu Bei's territory. But Huo Jun also knew that his lord and Sun Ce had formed an alliance and formed the Sun-Liu coalition. Because he was besieged by the Yanzhou army, he didn't know that Xiangyang had also been captured by the Sun and Liu coalition forces, but he knew all the things before.

Looking at the wolf appearance of his own soldiers, although he said that his side was a remnant of the defeated army, Huo Jun really didn't like to see his own soldiers like this.

So although he was busy running, he still told the whole army to stop marching, and then shouted to all the soldiers, "What are you doing?" See what you're all like? What's the matter, it's decadent to lose once? Don't say it's someone brought out by me Huo Jun Huo Zhongmiao, I can't afford to lose this person! ”

As soon as the soldiers heard their general's words, many of them lowered their heads.

Huo Jun looked at everyone, and then continued, "What, I know I'm sorry? Hehe, who the fuck hasn't failed? What more than one of you! The ancients said, 'Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', don't you still understand this? Didn't I, Huo Jun, Huo Zhongmiao, also lose together, I didn't do anything, you look at you again, like a dead father......"

As a result, Liu Bei's soldiers were beaten down by Huo Jun.

Huo Jun actually really, he didn't want to say anything. Because at this time, he prefers to be quiet, think about something, and then see his lord early and talk about the war in Wuling.

But when he noticed that his soldiers were like this, he also knew that he couldn't say anything like that. In this case, it is not good for the army. He gave himself 3,000 people on the main bus, and as a result, there are a lot of people left, but he can't let them be mournful. The Yanzhou army is powerful, but it is not terrible, but once the soldiers of their own side are decadent and have no fighting spirit, then it is really over. Therefore, Huo Jun immediately decided that he had to stop the march, and then give these soldiers a slap in the face and make them all wake up.

Huo Jun continued, "We lost today, we lost. But this one is not scary, and there is no shame in it. But you guys, I just think the enemy is the most terrible thing! ”

After a pause, Huo Jun shouted to everyone: "I'll let you adjust well, but if you continue like this, get out of here, I, Huo Zhongmiao, don't know such a person, and the lord doesn't have such a soldier." Is the damn Yanzhou army terrible, what is there to be afraid of, what is decadent, if they dare to come, I, Huo Zhongmiao, will kill one if there is one! Look at what has become of you. You don't need the Yanzhou army to come over, you're all defeated, you know? ”

"Where I fall, I will get up. If we lose today, will we lose tomorrow? Today, the Yanzhou army has won, but will they always win? You sue me, don't you want revenge, don't you want to be ashamed? What do you think of the dead brethren, but you speak! ”

And when it came to this, Huo Jun spoke as if he was crazy, which really scared all the soldiers. It was the first time they had seen their own general like this, and they had never seen them before. Of course, nothing like this has ever happened.

In the end, Huo Jun calmed down, softened his tone, and said to everyone, "You better think about it, I hope you can understand what I mean today." It's not terrible to fail, but I'm afraid that I don't even have the courage to face failure. (To be continued......)
