Chapter 71: Public Opinion Matters

Guo Jia and others set off on the same day and went to Taiyuan.

Yuan Xu, accompanied by Pang Tong, went to the barracks to check.

Since the advent of the stele, his status in the hearts of the soldiers in the army has risen a lot.

Gan Ning greeted the door.

Yuan Xu said to him: "I came to the barracks for two things, one is to look at the newly recruited soldiers. Second, I will send you some necessary things for the march. ”

"This is a call for new recruits." Gan Ning instructed Xia Zhao, who was following behind: "Please ask General Xia to pass the order on your behalf." ”

Ever since he was beaten by Gan Ning in Taiyuan, Xia Zhao has a deep fear of him.

Xia Zhao retired and left first.

Yuan Xu asked Gan Ning: "How is he?" ”

"Okay." Gan Ning replied: "I'm always watching, as long as I dare to cause trouble, I will give him a good look immediately." ”

"I'll transfer Mr. Deng to you." Yuan Xu didn't ask anything about Xia Zhao again: "It's easy to do things with multiple of your own people." ”

Gan Ning accompanied him into the barracks to the school grounds.

Recruits are lined up on campus.

Untrained, they were just civilians in the armor of a soldier.

The array is loose, and there is no military appearance that a sergeant in the army should have.

Yuan Xu stood on the high platform, and the eyes of the recruits focused on him.

"I don't really have anything to say, I just came to see you." His gaze swept around the array of recruits: "Although a soldier will not starve to death, he may be killed by the enemy. If you want to live, you have to practice hard. In the future, you will be successful and famous, and you will return to your hometown, so that the people in your hometown can see that there is nothing wrong with choosing to join the army! ”

Yuan Xu didn't say anything sensational, because he knew that for recruits, filling their stomachs and surviving was the most important thing.

is willing to follow him, it is nothing more than witnessing the "providence" with his own eyes, and he also knows that the food in the army is very good.

What kind of national righteousness, the rise and fall of the country, no matter how much you say to them, you will be smeared with lime.

It's better to draw them something more realistic.

There was silence on the school ground, and the eyes of the recruits were focused on Yuan Xu's face.

They thought Yuan Xu would say something more.

But what happened next made the recruits present look confused one by one.

Yuan Xu waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you twelve words." Eat well, sleep well, and practice well. ”

He wouldn't say more, and the recruits were all dazed.

Summoning people to the school just to say a few words?

Gan Ning stepped forward and shouted to the recruits: "Remember what Gongzi explained, all of them are scattered." ”

The recruits dispersed.

Yuan Xu said to Gan Ning: "During the siege of the city, the soldiers lit arrows, and I saw that the fire was in trouble, so I specially got some lighters. ”

"Lighters?" Gan Ning blinked in confusion: "What is that?" ”

took out the lighter filled with kerosene, Yuan Xu dialed the wheel, and the flames jumped.

Gan Ning had never seen such a worry-free ignition tool, and he was stunned.

"It's all yours." Yuan Xu explained: "During the battle, it will be distributed to the soldiers who need it. ”

"How do you use this thing?" took the lighter, Gan Ning looked at it over and over, but didn't know how to use it.

"I'll teach you." Yuan Xu taught him how to light a fire, how to fill a lighter, and how to change cotton cores and flints.

He taught seriously, and Gan Ning also studied seriously.

It didn't take long for Gan Ning to master the use of lighters.

"Where did Childe get such a practical thing?" Gan Ning said: "With it, it is much easier to ignite the fire." ”

"If I can think of it, I can probably get it." Yuan Xu patted his arm lightly: "If you have difficulties to say in the future, I'll find a way." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Gan Ning bowed and thanked him.

Yuan Xu ordered: "The army will set off early tomorrow morning and attack Xudu." Have the recruits follow the back of the line to watch the battle, and try not to put them into battle. ”

"I understand." With the experience of breaking through Tianjing Pass and attacking Huai County, Gan Ning did not propose to be a pioneer.

After inspecting the barracks, Yuan Xu left with Pang Tong.

Walking out of the barracks, Pang Tong asked him, "Do you want to drive the dead corpses into the army tomorrow?" ”

"In troubled times, human life is like mustard, can there be no dead corpses?" Yuan Xu said: "The purpose of driving the dead corpses to break through Huai County is to capture Feng Xiao and others. Now that they have taken refuge, what am I going to do on the march with the dead bodies? ”

Pang Tong asked again: "The newly recruited soldiers can stay in Huaixian County for training, and the son's class will be brought back to Taiyuan, why do you want to take them with you?" ”

Yuan Xu replied: "The recruits recruited from Huai County must not only be brought, but also brought in every battle. And try not to let them go to war. ”

His thoughts made Pang Tong feel puzzled.

"What happened in Huai County, they witnessed it with their own eyes." Yuan Xu said: "The stele is left here, placed at the intersection where everyone can see, and guarded by a special person. In the next few days, I will also support the people of Huaixian County to do business and urge them to travel all over the country. ”

Although Yuan Xu didn't make the purpose clear, Pang Tong understood: "Is the son going to borrow the people of Huaixian County to announce the stone tablet to the world?" ”

"A lot of things, I say it's useless, and you say it's useless." Yuan Xu said: "It has to be handed over to the people to pass on." The people of Huaixian County have witnessed it with their own eyes, and in order to show that they are different, of course, they will add oil and vinegar. One spread of ten, ten and hundred, not to mention that it is true, even if it has never happened, it can be decent. ”

Pang Tong knew that ruining a person could achieve his goal by spreading rumors.

He just didn't expect that Yuan Xu actually planned to use the people of Huai County to spread the news of the stone stele.

"Public opinion matters." Yuan Xu smiled: "We must use the people's hearts, borrow the people's mouths, and say the words to the whole world." When I defeat Cao Cao, who else dares to doubt the authenticity of the stele? ”

Yuan Xu attacked Huaixian, and a few days later, Cao Cao received a battle report.

Tie Qing's face was blue, and he threw the battle report to the ground: "I didn't expect Guo Fengxiao to lose to Yuan Xianxin so quickly!" ”

Accompanying him was his long-time friend Xun Yu.

Xun Yu picked up the battle report, and after reading it, he said to Cao Cao: "Recently, our army has advanced all the way, and Yuan Benchu has been defeated and retreated. On the Qingzhou battlefield, General Zang also had the advantage. Huaixian is just a small defeat, don't take it to heart. ”

"Guo Fengxiao's army was defeated, and Yuan Xianxin must point directly at Xu Du." Cao Cao looked solemn: "Although there is an advantage here, there is not much difference in military strength. If I divide my troops to help Xudu, it will be difficult for Cangting to make achievements......"

"If you can't divide the troops, you can't return to help, and the only way out is to destroy Yuan Shao in one go." Xun Yu proposed: "It's better to transfer back a small number of soldiers and horses and put pressure on Yuan Xianxin on the periphery." Before defeating Yuan Shao, as long as Xu was not lost, the lord still took the initiative. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Xu won't be able to keep it." Cao Cao asked, "Who do you think is appropriate?" ”

"Zhang He and Gao Ran used to be Yuan Shao's old department." Xun Yu replied: "The two of them are also familiar with Yuan Xianxin, so it is only fitting for them to rush to the aid of Xu Du." ”
