Chapter 562: The Duke of the Cao Family
After Liu Xun integrated the Qi army outside the city, he found that the 90,000 troops under his command were first lost by Feng Fang by more than 6,000, and now they won again, leaving only more than 50,000.
The Qi army drove Chen Gongbing away, which was nominally a victory, and Liu Xun also needed such propaganda to boost morale.
Of course, when Chen Gong propagandized, he also claimed that he was victorious, and the reorganized lineage of more than 10,000 captives under his command is the best proof of this.
More than 10,000 captives have become Chen Gong's private songs, and the generals under his command include Xue Lan and other local heroes in Yanzhou.
So more than 60,000 plus more than 10,000 equals less than 80,000, where did the remaining more than 10,000 go? Dead in battle?
In fact, there is very little area for real engagement on the battlefield, and it is normal for more than half of the soldiers in the three battles to have no chance of touching the enemy.
That is to say, those who really died in battle, the sum of both sides did not exceed 5,000, and as for the blank that disappeared, it was a real deserter, a deserter who would not return to the team on his own initiative and would not surrender to the enemy.
In any case, Liu Xun suffered heavy losses, compared to Ji Ling, who made Chen Gong unable to get out of Chen Liucheng and won the entire Chen Liuguo outside Chen Liucheng, he was the second one, maybe there would be someone competing with him for the second position.
Liu Xun wanted to rectify morale, Chen Gong wanted to digest and reorganize the captured Qi army, and build his own lineage team, and the war that broke out again in Chen Liu fell into a stalemate of confrontation.
Except for the surface, from the inside, the first winner is Chen Gong, the second winner is not Liu Xun, Liu Xun is a loser, why is there a second winner?
That is, there is still a Chu army that did not participate in the war, but it has benefits!
Just as the Qi army under the city who was recruited by Xue Lan said: "We are soldiers with combat experience, and when we sell them to the Chu army, they are more than ten times more expensive than ordinary people!" ”
Liu Xun wanted to rectify the morale of the army, replenish the ordnance, need a lot of money to boost morale, and even punish the failed criminals.
There is a reason for the tragic victory, Liu Xun is the winner of the power cable turmoil, and someone takes advantage of the victory, and someone needs to bear the misery.
Chen Gong also needs to eliminate dissidents and build a lineage.
Both of them inevitably have to get rid of a group of disobedient people and guilty people, and in order to achieve the principle of waste utilization, they sell them to the Chu army at a high price, which will not affect the worst and be directly executed, and can be exchanged for a large number of scarce materials, why not?
So even if Chu Jun doesn't participate, he is the second victor.
These "sinners" and "dissidents" with combat experience are still on the way, Cao Xuan doesn't know that he has become the winner of Chen Liu's refight, he also has more important things to do at this time, and he doesn't care too much about this.
At this time, Cao Xing had already left the Beihai Kingdom and crossed the ocean to the land of Liaodong, the land where his father-in-law Tian Shao served as the Taishou.
A geographical location is extremely important, a very important point for Cao Xing's entire colonial plan, I often come here to preach to the people of this land, I Cao Xuan always care about you, I am by your side, this is indispensable.
Time has passed, from the Zhou Dynasty to the establishment of a large and small country in Liaodong, and then to the dominance of the Yan State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it has completely become an inseparable land of the Chinese nation and dominated by the Chinese people.
More than 1,000 years of development have made this the land of the Chinese people, a desolate frontier, and Cao Xing's arrival in this world has made this place from a desolate and uninhabited frontier to a crowded and densely populated Central Plains.
On this land, Cao Xing's hometown revisited, climbed the mountain Taoist temple that made the "Burrow Ming", the bluestone brick paved road, the width is more than one zhang, guardrails, pavilions, tea shops, etc., there is everything.
The people who come and go up the mountain to ask for blessings and vows are endless, where there is still the original desolation, and the Taoist holy land Longhu Mountain is nothing more than that.
Nowadays, it is indeed characterized as one of the sacred places of Taoism, a place dedicated to Taishang Laojun and the eighteenth incarnation of Huanglong Tianzun.
One of the pavilions in the mountains was pulled out of the cordon, not allowing others to approach, Cao Xing and Wenwu in disguise, as well as Liaodong Taishou Tian Shao and Taoist Temple - now it should be said that it is the head of the two halls and nine temples of the whole mountain.
With so many pilgrims, many volunteers, and many refugees without work arrangements, Cao Xing personally approved the creation of this Taoist holy place and a place to appease the people.
There are many holy places that are preached in this way, and there are many sub-holy places that are inferior to this, and it is naturally important to conquer the enemy physically, and it is not possible to leave behind the conquest of the mind.
Now these people are gathered around Cao Xing, Cao Xing looked at his father-in-law Tian Shao with a smile: "Have you seen your grandson?" Xiang'er is really good, she gave birth to a big fat boy for me and a big fat grandson for you! ”
"Haha~ The crane looks good! And at a young age, he has a smart shadow, like his father! ”
As soon as he mentioned his grandson, Tian Shao smiled from ear to ear, happier than mentioning his grandson, his grandson was born in a dragon and phoenix, and he will definitely soar in the future, Cao Xing does not have a son-in-law, and it is uncertain whether he will inherit Cao Xing's family business in the future, even if he does not ask for this, he is at least a prince.
Cao Xing has announced to all his relatives that in the future, his children will be divided except for the one who inherits the family business.
The fief of the son of the first person in the world, can there be less? It is said that the prince is a few.
Cao Xuan pretended to beg for it:
"Cao Ming became the king of Ming and became the largest feudal state of the Han Dynasty.
My brother Cao Yong's Cao State is on the edge of your Liaodong, although the land is not as fertile as the Ming Kingdom, but it is not worse than Liaodong, and now in the Cao Kingdom, there are no less than 30,000 people with pure blood, and the local Yi people form more than 20,000 households.
According to the "Partition Colonization Law", 30,000 people with pure blood are 3 million acres of land, and half of all the barbarian land captured by the feudal state is included in the feudal land, and half is handed over to the imperial court in 50 years. ”
After some foreshadowing, Cao Xuan looked at the others present, and the reason why he didn't look at Tian Shao was that he didn't mean to tell him, Tian Shao, as the Taishou of Liaodong, knew too much about the feudal country on the edge of Liaodong, and he didn't need Cao Xuan to say that he understood.
"Now my brother's Cao Kingdom, whose borders stretch for tens of thousands of miles, has actually been sealed as a duke in accordance with the feudal colonial law, which is the reason why I don't let everyone call me Cao Gong.
It's not because I'm young, but because the title of Cao Guogong has long been taken away by my brother.
And my false son Cao Yu's feudal Jin State population and land have not increased less, and they have also been sealed according to the law, as well as Cao Xiang, Cao Qing, Cao Ou, Cao Jiu, Cao Cormorant ......"
