Chapter 9: The Marquis of Huaiyin

The older captives watched the officers and soldiers who did not leave their weapons getting closer and closer, and somehow got the courage to use their skin-covered and weak bodies to block in front of their sons, like a hen guarding calves: "The general spares his life!" The dog is young and ignorant! ”

"Awen!" The young captive was moved to see his father like this, and as he spoke, he squeezed forward, and cried out, "I did the thing!" I'll take it all by myself! Don't do me woon! ”

Looking at the pulling of the father and son, Cao Yong, who was more than half of his injuries, was afraid that Wang Xiao would do something out of the ordinary, and said anxiously: "Ah Xuan!? Is this Wang Tunchang overperforming! ”

"Brother don't panic! Read on! Cao Xuan smiled, his tone full of anticipation.

I saw Wang Xiao, who was striding forward like a crab, and handed a bowl of broth to the young captive, and said in an unceremonious, non-negotiable tone: "Tell me!" You name it! It's yours! ”

"I am Guangling Wu Peng!" Although Wu Peng was angry in his heart, he also replied angrily.

Wang Xiao put his arm around his shoulders and praised loudly: "Good! Selling melons! From now on, you will be my own soldier! ”

"Thank you, General, for your attention!" Wu Peng looked at the meat in the bowl, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, remembered his father who had never eaten a full meal, turned around with a painful face, and handed it to the father next to him: "Ah Weng, you eat!" ”

Looking at this son, who usually makes himself angry and disobedient, and has such a side, the tears in his father's eyes couldn't help it, and he choked up: "I'm not hungry!" You eat! ”

"Haha!" Wang Xiao interrupted the father and son with a loud laugh, and handed over a bowl of broth again: "Follow our dragon general!" General Cao! Not only can you eat yourself! The family is even more fragrant and spicy! ”

The father and son looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief, and Wu Peng took the meat bowl: "The person who is born is a general!" Death is also the general's ghost! ”

"Huh! This general has to be General Cao Long, and I am also the job he gave! After speaking, Wang Xiao turned his head to look at the remaining Yellow Turban captives, and said loudly: "Everyone! Dragon General! General Cao loves soldiers like a son! And break the tradition, give three meals a day, and be full! We look forward to your joining! ”

Some people took the lead, and slowly some people followed, and more than 1,000 captives, ninety percent chose to take refuge in Cao Xing.

looked at the yellow turban captives who lined up to eat meat, while everyone was thinking about whether they would be promoted this time.

Lei Gong and Cao Yong had a melancholy look in their eyes, the two exchanged glances with each other, and Cao Yong spoke: "Ah sex! A total of 1,325 people joined, which is a lot of people, but is this appropriate? Loyalty is immeasurable! ”

Cao Xuan had a smile on his face, looking at the blue sky, giving people an unpredictable illusion: "Does my brother know the Marquis of Huaiyin?" ”

The name of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, Cao Yong naturally knew, but he didn't know what it had to do with the present, at this time, Wang Xiao showed a thoughtful expression, and Cao Yong couldn't help but be even more puzzled.

"The newly joined brothers first select those who can ride horses as auxiliary soldiers of the cavalry team, and then select a hundred elite ones to merge into the main army, and all the rest are used as auxiliary troops, and select reliable ones who have brothers and relatives in the regular army as low-level Wu Shi chiefs."

As he spoke, Cao Xing patted Cao Yong's shoulder, looking at this cautious brother with expectation and encouragement in his eyes:

"Brother, your burden is heavy! The remaining 1,000 people, under the command of the most loyal guards, will be handed over to you! In the future, the pro-guard will have to learn to read and write, just like the old soldiers who are seriously injured and my righteous sons, and most of the military attaches will come from here! ”

"Yes!" Cao Yong, who has a calm personality, did not have the excitement of becoming a thousand-commander, and resolutely accepted this heavy burden.

In the Han Dynasty, where a mat was simply laid on the back of the horse, and there was no stirrup, a qualified cavalryman was especially precious, without the accumulation of experience year after year, he could not ride steadily at all, and he wanted to swing a knife and ride and slash, without long-term training, he was simply playing with his life.

The huge inertia that breaks the arm of a new rider is simply not too simple.

The use of long soldiers and cavalry archery on horseback is the elite of the elite, especially in the south where there is a shortage of horses, and even only a few wealthy generals specialize.

These 1,300 newcomers from the north were only selected to know how to ride horses, just simple rides, three people who could ride and chop, and none of them could ride and shoot, plus more than ten tall people, who made up a hundred, and incorporated into the cavalry auxiliary army.

One hundred and fifty cavalry is an auxiliary army, five hundred infantry is a regular army, and one thousand two hundred auxiliary troops (combat power is equal to none).

Yingchuan County is full of scholars, there are many families, and there are many celebrities, and you are half a world of famous people, referring to Runan and Yingchuan.

Turning the first page of Chinese history, you will also find that Yingchuan County is the capital of the first dynasty in history, the Xia Dynasty.

Finally, Yingchuan Xu County, not far from the Changshe place, became the capital of the Wei Dynasty.

Xun Yu Xun family, Chen Qun Chen family, Guo Tu Guo family, Hao Qiang Chun Yu Qiongchun Yu family, as well as Zhong Xuan, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and so on.

It can be described as an outstanding person.

Cao Xuan personally carried out ideological education for several days on the Yellow Turban captives who were unwilling to join, and then gave them a small bag of food that was better than money at the moment, plus a small bag of five baht coins, and sent these people away.

Several times more people ate and drank at once, plus three meals a day (in ancient times, it was two meals a day), and the grain and grass quickly bottomed out.

Cao Xuan took his subordinates to the nearest Chenjiawu Fort.

The high wall of nearly two zhang and the moat three zhang wide come into view.

"Selling melons! This city is high and deep, and our county can't compare to it! Wang Xiao looked at the dock fort in front of him and complained loudly.

The Chen family's Ding Qu stood at the head of the city, looking at the army under the banner of Cao under the city, pointing and pointing, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Who's coming?" The defenders of Fort Dock shouted.

Lei Gong rode forward and took a deep breath: "Fight against poison, retreat to the left and break 10,000 with fifty, the dragon general Cao Xing, General Cao is here, don't hurry up and open the door to greet you!" ”

The defenders who shouted were yelled by Lei Gong, and they were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, causing them to make fun of them again and again, and they were immediately annoyed and angry: "Where did you come from! Haven't heard of it! Get out of here quickly. ”

Unexpectedly looked down upon by a small doorman, Wang Xiao, who was born as a herdsman in Biansai, was furious, and stepped forward: "Selling melons!" When Naion (your father) arrives, you dare to shut up! ”

"You! You! "Because of the identity of the Chen family, the guards who are used to walking sideways are now humiliated in public, and they are speechless for a while.

Lei Gong's roar was as piercing as a gong ringing in his ears, and in the deep house in the dock fort, the three gentlemen of the Chen family who were drinking tea could hear it clearly.

His thoughts were interrupted, and Chen Yu, who was over eighty years old, frowned slightly:

"Has this Cao Xing ever heard of it?"

The two sons of the three gentlemen of the Chen family shook their heads one after another.
