"Those who don't hear the drum and don't stop hearing the gold, cut it!"

"If you can't raise the flag, if you can't press the flag, cut it!"

"Abuse the people, **** women, behead!"

"If you don't call your name, if you don't arrive at the time, cut it!"

"In addition, anyone who has a light army, a slow army, a thief army, a bully army, a betrayal army, a disorderly army, and a misguided army will be killed!"

Outside Xuchang City, the colonel's military field, the point of the general's platform, in the sound of the horn, facing the thousands of troops and horses under the stage, the Chinese army-law enforcement officer is loudly reading out the new military law formulated by Prime Minister Cao Cao, a total of ~~ seven bans, fifty-four beheadings!

The rules are strict, the order is beheaded, and the soldiers and soldiers in the audience who only listen are silent, and the cold wind gusts on their necks, no one dares to be negligent, for fear of missing a message, and they will give away their own lives!

In addition to the strategists and brave generals under his command, Cao Cao also transferred 100,000 male soldiers from various states and counties, plus 70,000 horses brought by Xiao Yi from Guanzhong, a total of 170,000 troops, it can be said that he took out all the family funds, in order to strengthen military discipline and unite people's hearts, this is the promulgation of such a powerful military law!

In addition, fighting tiger brothers and going into battle as father and son soldiers, Cao Cao also brought his three sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi with him to stimulate the morale of the three armies, which was completely a desperate posture!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this expedition **** is a matter of life and death for the community, only victory, not defeat, if you dare to disobey the military order and delay the big event, the 'Heavenly Sword' in the old man's hand will not be merciful!" Pulling out the sword at his waist, Cao Cao's gaze swept over the civil and military officials under the tent one by one, especially when he saw the Cao clan, his expression was even sharper, and it could be seen that he was really killing!

"Obey the military orders of the Prime Minister!"

"Obey the military orders of the Prime Minister!"

Whether it was the generals under the tent, the Cao clan, or the large and small sergeants of each battalion, they all smashed their fists into their hearts to show that they had memorized these military orders!

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, the auspicious time has arrived!" There is a huge sundial made of white marble next to the general platform, and the military commander is in charge of guarding it intently!

"Sacrifice the Banner!"

At the sound of an order, nine prisoners dressed in white criminal clothes were dragged up, all tied up with flowers, and their mouths were stuffed with rags, all of which were found from the prison in Xuchang, heinous felons, specially used to sacrifice flags.

The eighteen executioners, all of whom were strong men with big shoulders and round waists and horizontal faces, were divided into nine groups, one was one and one pair, all wearing bright red 'soul-sending robes', showing one arm, and stood there murderously!

With a 'chop' word out, one executioner pressed the prisoner's back hard, forcing him to lower his head and stretch out his neck, and the other raised the snow-bright ghost-headed knife in his hand, which fell like lightning, and nine strands of blood quickly spurted out, and I don't know if the prisoners picked have high blood pressure, and the farthest one actually squirted out more than a zhang away~~

Blood into the ground, human heads sacrificed to the sky, if there are really all kinds of gods in the sky, you should be satisfied with receiving such a tribute!

Then the executioners immediately smeared the blood of the prisoners on a black military flag, in order to bless the victory of the army flag and the success, as for why they chose to kill the flag at three o'clock in the afternoon, because this is the sunniest time of the day, the souls of those prisoners can be melted immediately, so as not to become a ghost, and then come back to find trouble~~

Respect for heaven and earth, fear of ghosts and gods, the hearts of the people have always been like this, unchanged through the ages!

"The army is on the march!" On the platform, Cao Cao was wearing gold armor and his sword forward, issuing a military order for the army to go out!

The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds.

The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass.

Hanxia Baideng Road, Hu peep into Qinghai Bay.

came to the battlefield, but no one returned.

…………………………

……………………………

In the vast military song, each battalion in accordance with the pre-arranged order, a team, a column began to pull out the camp, the general Xiahoudun was appointed as the pioneer, with 10,000 elite to rush to the front of the army, and at the same time take on the responsibility of opening the road, building bridges, and spying on the military situation!

Cao's army moved quickly, echoing between the battalions, the formation was strict, not chaotic at all, and it was advancing at a speed of sixty or seventy miles a day, which was already a god speed in the Han Dynasty when transportation was inconvenient and the means of travel were even more rudimentary!

The reason why the march was so rapid was that in addition to Cao Cao's good command of the troops, these 170,000 troops were all elite soldiers and strong generals, and it also had a lot to do with the fact that they did not carry too many grain and grass vehicles.

Although Xuchang is rich, but the population is also large, if the grain in the official warehouse here is exhausted, it is easy to cause panic in the imperial court, shake the hearts of the people in the rear, and moreover, from Xuchang to the Huainan front line to transport military food, the road is far away, the loss in the middle is too great, and some gains outweigh the losses!

Therefore, the marching route set by Cao Ying is that the army starts from Xuchang, passes through Yanzhou, goes south to Yuzhou, and finally enters Huainan, of which Yanzhou is where Cao Ying's old nest is located, and it is easy to requisition military food and people from there, and it is closer to the front line, and it is much more labor-saving to transport, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After three days, the army smoothly drove into the territory of Yanzhou, the original red land for thousands of miles, uninhabited place, after more than two years of effective governance, now it has changed greatly, along the way cooking smoke is misty, from time to time there are densely populated villages, both sides of the road are also full of wheat fields that are about to ripen, a good scene!

"God bless, the wind and rain are smooth, it's a great year!" Looking at the wheat fields on both sides, Cao Cao on horseback couldn't help but be overjoyed, now it is the end of September, and in more than half a month, the wheat fields will all be ripe, and the grain and grass needed by the army to the south will not have to worry!

"This is all the work of Cheng Jinping's early order to Tuntian, and Yanzhou can be so rich!" The strategist Cheng Yu once acted as an agent for Yanzhou government affairs and was most familiar with the situation here.

"After the defeat of the million Yellow Turban Army, the prime minister did not kill a single person, but ordered all these people to be placed in the counties of Yanzhou, and also gave them cattle, farm tools, and seeds free of charge, more than two years have passed, these hundreds of thousands of households have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and millions of acres of farmland have been reclaimed, and several large ditches have been built for irrigation, and the five grains are abundant, and now the annual taxes collected are enough for the army to fight!"

"Very good, as long as the military rations are sufficient, the old man will not have to worry about it!" Looking at the wheat fields that can not be seen at a glance, Cao Cao felt infinite satisfaction, when he first came to Yanzhou, he took his subordinates to start from scratch, to eat or not, to wear or not, in order to fill the stomach, everyone had to go hunting all over the mountains, so that it was similar to the savages, now it is good, the grain and grass are piled up, and the counties are also prosperous, see who is still their opponent among the princes of the world!

The world is in turmoil, the people are not happy, food has always been a big problem for the princes to face, every time the green and yellow are not connected, all kinds of tragedies have happened, Yuan Shao of Hebei took the soldiers to collect wild mulberries to eat, Huainan Yuan Shu forced the soldiers to catch river mussels to eat, as for the other princes, even grass roots, tree bark can not eat, they have to eat people.

Hebei, Bingzhou, Hanzhong, Jiangdong, and even Xuzhou under Liu Bei's rule often have cannibalism, and the hungry soldiers sometimes slaughter the people in one village and one village, and then make adult dried meat as military food, and as a result, their eyes are red and their saliva is long, like a group of wolves......

Under Cao Cao's rule, the people had enough food and clothing, and there had been no cannibalism for two whole years, which made the subordinate officials very proud, people, should not eat people.

"Now that the wheat is ripe, pass the order, and when the army marches, follow the line, be careful under your feet, and do not trample on the farmland, and those who violate this order will be killed!" Happy, Cao Cao added another article to the military discipline!

Otherwise, the road is narrow, and these hundreds of thousands of troops will inevitably hurt the farmland as soon as they pass by, and then the people's hard work for a year will be gone!

"No!"

"The prime minister has an order not to trample on the wheat field, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"The Prime Minister has an order ,............"

The military order is like a mountain, and the magistrate immediately runs out with the order arrow to convey it, and while running, he has to look at the soles of his feet, in case he steps on the air, he will become the first to test the knife......

"The prime minister loves the people like a son, and we admire him very much!"

(There should be applause here, ancient and modern...... ）

"Haha!" Holding a horsewhip in his hand, Cao Cao was full of pride, "Old man, law enforcement is like a mountain, and the three armies are ......"

"Plop! …… Whoosh! ”

Before the boasting words fell, a group of sparrows suddenly came from the wheat field, this group of small creatures seemed to have a good eye, knew whose official was the biggest, and did not go anywhere else, and all rushed towards the banner of the Chinese army, many of which directly hit Cao Cao's mount ...... 'Claw Yellow Flying Lightning'!

There was a neigh, and the horse was startled!
