Chapter 172: Liu Bei gets married
The true meaning of war is 'the victor is the prince, the loser is the thief', when Lu Bu was panicked like a lost dog, Cao Cao was laughing proudly.
In the first battle of Jibei, the Cao army captured countless piles of weapons, war horses all over the mountains, and groups of captives tied back with ropes ......, and these things will soon be absorbed by the Cao army after some digestion, so as to strengthen their own strength!
After the victory, the first thing is to reward meritorious deeds, whether it is those who go out to fight, or those who stick to the city, whether they contribute or strategize, Cao Cao will give heavy rewards one by one, a lot of official seals, boxes of gold and silver, beautiful houses, fertile fields, slaves, singers...... The whole nine yards!
If you have no wealth, you will not come, you will not be rewarded, and you will not go;
There will be dead fish under the bait,
There will be brave men under the reward!
Use material rewards to motivate morale and control people's hearts, Cao Cao is one of the masters!
Of course, heavy rewards are not the same as excessive rewards, Cao Cao will award corresponding rewards according to everyone's merits, which will not be thin and stingy, nor will it make people feel that the reward is easy, it is always just enough to stimulate the fighting spirit of the rewardee, so that he can make persistent efforts!
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, and at this celebration banquet, there are three people who are not rewarded!
The first is Mrs. Ding, as Cao Cao's main room, the husband and wife are one, one is lost, one is prosperous, Cao Cao's victory is her victory, you can't reward yourself!
However, when she learned that Jibei City was in the most crisis, it was Mrs. Ding who risked her life to personally sit at the head of the city and boost the morale of the defenders.
Husband and wife are concentric, and their profits are gold, which is true!
The second thing that can't be rewarded is Xiao Jing, a twelve-year-old little girl, who took the lead in the fierce offensive and defensive battles, and personally went into battle to swing her sword and slash, it is said that there are more than a dozen enemy soldiers who died in her hands, such a thing is simply a fantasy, but it appeared alive in front of everyone!
For a little girl, official positions, money, and beautiful women...... it seems that no matter how they are rewarded, they are not suitable, but the credit is really there, which is obvious to all; In the end, Cao Cao even moved the plan to accept Xiao Jing as a 'righteous daughter', but was stopped by Mrs. Ding, after the husband and wife discussed it privately, Cao Cao also dispelled this idea, but he officially announced at the celebration banquet that Xiao Jing will enjoy the same rights as his daughters in the future, that is to say, what the Cao Jie sisters have, Xiao Jing will have, no less than a hair!
In the face of such a grace, Xiao Jing is naturally very happy, but there is still a trace of fear in her heart after being happy, if her brother knows that she has opened a killing ring, and there will be more than a dozen of them, it is estimated that her little ass will suffer again, in order to avoid the pain of skin and flesh, it seems that you have to find a 'talisman'!
But who can protect themselves? Xiao Jing shook her little head and searched in the crowd for a long time, and finally her eyes fell on Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, these two talismans can keep her safe and sound, right?
At that moment, she beckoned her little hand, and first called the two brothers Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi to her side, and taking a roundabout route is the king!
As for the third person, it is naturally Xiao Yi!
In this foreign campaign, Xiao Yi destroyed Kong Ling's 50,000 troops in one battle, won the city of three and a half counties in Yuzhou in World War II, and attacked Puyang in three wars, cutting off Lu Bu's back road.
In terms of status, Xiao Yi is already the chief general of Cao Ying, and even Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and other relatives cannot compare with him, it can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand!
In terms of wealth, the Liang family of Jixian County supported him wholeheartedly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich and rivals the country, otherwise Xun Yu, Xun You and a group of people would not have been thinking about looting him all day long!
There is no reward, it has always been a taboo in the heart of the monarch, but this is not enough to stop Cao Cao!
He first asked people to send a lot of cattle and sheep and wine to the Xuanjia army to reward those hard-working soldiers, as for Xiao Yi, Cao Cao let his three daughters embroider a 'golden silk hundred flowers robe' and send it over, the meaning of which is not to be known!
Sometimes family affection is the best reward, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Wei Qing and Huo Quai, contact and marry, and the two families become one, isn't it all happy!
However, while celebrating the victory, Cao Cao did not get carried away, this time he was able to defeat Lu Bu, all by using 'tricks' to win, recalling the course of the war, it was too dangerous, if Lu Bu was not so hesitant, if Chen Gong's reaction could be a little faster, then the final result would probably be reversed!
Although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but after all, the 'trick' thing can not be used again and again, the key is to strengthen their own strength, and the top priority is to form an elite cavalry unit, used to increase the ability of the army to fight in the field, just this time a large number of war horses and blades were captured, and their own 'tiger and leopard ride' is time to be born!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Just when Cao Cao was proud of the spring breeze, there was another person who was also happily turning his head, that is, 'Big Ear Ah Fu'...... Liu Bei!
Since the retirement of Cao Bing, Xuzhou City is also a big banquet for three days, all the soldiers who participate in the war, each person has a generous reward, anyway, there is a big chaebol like the Mi family, there will be no shortage of money and food, so they are all happy!
After the banquet, Kong Rong and Zhao Yun said goodbye one after another, one of them went back to Beihai County to continue to be a taishou, and the other wanted to go back to Gongsun Zan's account to listen to it, when parting, Liu Bei took Zhao Yun's hand for a long time and was unwilling to let go, and sent a ride, another ride!
In the end, Zhao Yun's people left, but the heart stayed by Liu Bei's side!
The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang stayed under the strong pleas of a group of civil and military officials, Tao Qian once again said that he wanted to give up the Great Seal of the Assassin History, Liu Bei naturally tried his best to resign, just like that, after the two of them pushed it several times, they finally made a decision: Xuzhou Assassin Shi or Tao Qian, Liu Bei stayed to assist in government affairs!
said that it was assistance, because Tao Qian was old and sick, in fact, the big and small things in Xuzhou fell on Liu Bei's body, I have to say that this 'big ear Ah Fu' really has two hits, whether it is governing the people or training soldiers and horses, it has its own uniqueness, and has been unanimously praised by Xuzhou!
Just when Liu Bei's career was going well, he also got a bumper harvest emotionally, Mi Zhu intended to marry his own sister to Liu Bei as his wife, and the two families married, which is a good thing for pie in the sky!
Mi family is a large clan in Xuzhou, and is one of the three major chaebols in the world, the family is extremely rich, passed to this generation, in addition to Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers, there is also a young sister, named Mi Zhen, just 17 years old this year, not only long like a flower like jade, but also know the book and etiquette, write a good hand, draw a good hand, is a famous "talented girl" and "rich girl" in Xuzhou! ’
For this marriage, Liu Bei is naturally 10,000 willing, not to mention a big beauty, with the help of the Mi family, he can completely gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, whether it is politically or financially, there are great benefits!
In the same way, this matter is also a lot of benefits to the Mi family, Liu Bei's skills are all in their eyes, this is a hidden dragon, as long as the wind and clouds meet in the future, it will inevitably soar into the sky, and now it is pressed on him in advance, and the dividends in the future will definitely be very rich!
Charcoal in the snow is much more precious than icing on the cake!
As for the relationship between men and women?
Although Liu Bei is a little older, it is nothing in this era, there is only one criterion for distinguishing men in troubled times, heroes? Or a bear?
An old lion is also a lion, and no matter how young a wild dog is, it is still a wild dog, and the two are not the same!
Besides, our 'Big Ears Ah Fu' is still very good, with a handsome look, a face like a crown of jade, and a pair of big ears are even more blessed, how to look at how festive!
At the moment, 'pick a good day, blame auspicious day', for the two to complete the marriage, and at the same time send a large invitation, all Xuzhou's civil and military officials, clan households, erudite and Confucian ......, all invited over, to strengthen the momentum!
On the day of the wedding, Liu Bei bathed and cleansed himself, smoked incense, changed into three new clothes inside and out, covered with a red robe, crossed flower arrangement, and chose a majestic white horse as a mount, accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he went out of the mansion and went to Mifu to pick up relatives!
"Congratulations to General Liu!"
"A hundred years together!"
"Give birth to a noble son early!"
Liu Bei has gained a high reputation among the people of Xuzhou because of his meritorious service in retreating from the enemy, and when he saw that he went to Mifu to pick up his relatives, he hugged his fists on the side of the road to congratulate!
"Rejoice! …… Rejoice! Liu Bei smiled and returned the salute with his fists, and at the same time asked his entourage to throw happy money into the crowd in baskets, and there was naturally thunder of joy everywhere he went!
In this way, Liu Bei and his entourage went straight to Mifu......
