Chapter 108: How to Gather People's Hearts?

Guo Jia came to Xiao Yi to plan things again, or he came to drink again, anyway, others couldn't tell whether the two of them were drinking, or discussing military affairs, two guys who were addicted to alcohol met like this, when they looked drunk, maybe they were discussing the life and death of millions of people, but when they were arguing endlessly, and even about to break off their relationship, don't be nervous, in fact, the two were just discussing who drank more and who drank less!

True and false, false and real; When you are sober, you are confused and ignorant, and when you are drunk, you are enlightened into everything in the world, which is 'drunkard'; Philosophy of life!

But ordinary people must not learn, and they can't learn it!

In order to drink, Guo Jia even proposed several times, hoping to hand over the wine shop in the Xuanjia Army to him to manage, the reason is that Xiao Yi is busy with military affairs, and he is afraid that he will be tired, as a friend, he should lend a hand and help him, as for what attention is paid in his heart, the ghost knows!

In this regard, Xiao Yi directly refused, joking, the wine shop is his lifeline, there are two things in his life that he will never give away, one is a woman, the other is the wine shop, now he has no wife, so the wine shop is his everything, if a man has no wine to drink, then the end of the world will come!

But this time Guo Jia came over, not for the winery, but for money and food, now in order to feed the millions of refugees, Cao Ying is all thrifty, and even the rations of the lord Cao Cao have been halved, but in this way, life is still tight, I heard that there have been starvation deaths in the refugee camp, so Xun almost has gray hair, there are so many grains and grass that can be drawn from Dongjun, and the only way left is to spend money to buy grain!

In recent years, because of frequent wars, a large number of men were forced to go to the battlefield, and the fields were neglected to cultivate, resulting in famine in many places, but several states along the Yangtze River were peaceful and prosperous, and the war did not affect anywhere at all, especially in Jingxiang Nine Counties, where Liu Biao sits, the influx of a large number of refugees in the north has brought sufficient labor force there, coupled with sufficient local water, mild climate, crops have been harvested year after year, and grain and grass are piled up, if there is enough money, a large number of grains will be able to be bought!

But the problem is, there is no money; The taxes in Dongjun are extremely limited, Xiao Yi has found a lot of money from those leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, but he can only solve the temporary urgency, millions of refugees need to eat, dress, and settle them to live, and when the spring of the next year begins, he has to provide them with ploughing cattle and seeds, so that they can resume production, that is, before the harvest next autumn, Cao Ying will have to feed these million refugees for a whole year!

With such a big consumption, even a mountain of gold can be emptied, for this reason, Cao Ying is at a loss, so many refugees, even the country's all-out disaster relief will be difficult, not to mention their small force that has just emerged!

It feels like a kitten catching a kangaroo, a good thing is a good thing, but you can't eat it, you can't digest it, but you may be swollen to death!

However, think about it on the other hand, if the kitten grits its its teeth and insists on digesting the big kangaroo, then soon the cat will be full of muscles and flesh and become a colorful tiger!

Opportunity and danger coexist so skillfully!

Cao Cao couldn't sleep all night because of this!

Xun turned his hair gray because of this!

Xiao Yat and Guo Jia drank several more jars of spirits for this!

Everyone behaves in different ways, but the purpose is the same, and even some martial artists in Cao Ying, who only know how to slash and kill on weekdays, are also thinking of a way at this time, but they have come up with a way, hehe!

The money and food did not get it, but the reward of the imperial court came, in just half a month, Cao Cao subdued the millions of yellow scarves in Zonghengqing and Yanzhou, and removed a big harm for the world, for a time Yanzhou shook, Kanto shook, the world shook, no matter what the princes of all walks of life thought of Cao Cao, at this time they had to stretch out their thumbs and express their admiration, especially Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, who was even more excited to turn his head, during this time he was most worried about the Yellow Turban Army sneaking into his Xuzhou, for which the old man had not slept peacefully for several months, this is good, In addition to the scourge, I can finally sit back and relax, in order to express my gratitude to Tao Qian, he also sent someone to send some grain and grass, and the personality of the good man is vividly expressed!

In the end, even Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in Chang'an and holding the imperial court hostage, couldn't sit still, this troubled man pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Cao Aman is a traitor, and Xiao Yi is his minion, and now his wings are full, and it is difficult to compete!" ”

Later, Dong Zhuo issued a commendation in the name of the little emperor, crowned Cao Cao as the 'General of Zhengdong', and gave him horses and carved saddles; For a while, Cao Ying was all cheering, such as today's chaos, there are many people who call themselves 'generals', but they are all some miscellaneous generals, and the gold content is very low, but this 'Zhengdong General' is different, it is one of the 'four marches' generals officially recognized by the imperial court, and it belongs to the famous generals, and the most important thing is that Cao Cao can justifiably open the shogunate with this title!

The shogunate, which is an office under the shogun, can set up its own subordinates and official positions, in a sense, it is a ******, with a strong independence, if one day this shogunate is strong enough, it can even replace the current imperial court, and it is justifiable to command the world!

For the Cao Ying power group, this is a big step forward!

At the moment, Cao Cao held a celebration banquet, and added officials to the hard-working generals and strategists, isn't everyone following him for a high-ranking official, now one person becomes an immortal, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and everyone has a share of the benefits!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Meng De can have today thanks to everyone's great help, if there are no strategists working day and night, and the generals are fighting bloodily, there is a good situation today, Meng De hereby swears that from now on, everyone will share wealth and wealth, and never lose each other!" At the banquet, Cao Cao held a cup in one hand and a pot in the other, and personally poured wine for each of his subordinates, so that everyone could feel his sincerity, Cao Cao just wanted to tell everyone, follow me, there is a future!

The reason for doing this, in fact, Cao Cao also has his own unspeakable secrets, recently because of the problem of money and food, the people's hearts have fluctuated, not only the millions of prisoners are unstable, but also in Cao Ying's own internal situation, the same undercurrent is surging!

It is a matter of course to be a soldier to eat food, but in order to relieve the refugees, the rations in the barracks have been greatly reduced, which has caused the dissatisfaction of many generals, they dare not resent Cao Cao, let alone resent Xiao Yi, because these generals are leading by example, and they only eat one meal a day, so they set their eyes on those captives, since they can't afford to raise them, and they can't let go, isn't it all solved if they kill them all!

There are many Cao Ying generals who have this kind of thought, and in their opinion, these old and weak women and children are useless except for spoiling food, according to their ideas, tens of thousands of strong and strong people are selected from the captives to fill the army, and as for the rest, all of them are killed!

It's not just talking, these people are secretly actively connecting with each other, and they also recommend the most suitable executive candidate--- Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi has the nickname of 'killing gods', when it comes to killing, no one in Cao's camp has killed more than him, and he has a history of killing and surrendering Xiongnu captives when he was at Yanmen Pass, and he is considered to be experienced, so it is most suitable for him to be the executioner;

In this regard, Xiao Yi's response was to whip all these people away, what kind of joke, if it is a Huns, let alone a million, it is millions, tens of millions, he also went to the hand, 'If it is not my race, its heart will be different!' This is Xiao Yat's life creed, for the survival of his own nation, he did not hesitate to kill all the aliens; But when facing his own people, Xiao Yi can't lift the butcher's knife in his hand, years of war, the population of the northern states has declined significantly, the Han nation can be said to be a big injury, and then casually kill and surrender prisoners, when the world is unified, how many people will be left in the Han family's bloodline?

Isn't it because of the civil war in the Central Plains that the vitality of the Han nation was greatly damaged, so that those blonde and blue-eyed Hu people had a chance, if there was no later 'Wuzhuo Heavenly King' Ran Min's order to kill Hu, the Han people were almost extinct, and now that Xiao Yi has come to this time and space, he must not let the tragedy repeat again, no matter what, he must retain a little more vitality for the Han nation, as for those alien races, those who dare to peep into China will be killed!

"Come, Xiao Lang, go out for a walk with the old man!" After today's celebration banquet and some exchanges, he finally stabilized the hearts of the generals in the camp, for Xiao Yi to suppress those 'radicals' in private, he knew everything clearly, and the minds of the two people could always think of going together, which was the thing that made him the happiest!

"No! I'll accompany Cao Gong out for a walk! "Leaving behind the generals of the camp who were still carnival and drinking, the two walked out of the big tent like this, and they didn't bring any personal soldiers, only Xu Chu carried the banner of 'General Zhengdong' and followed behind, which was very popular!

"Xiao Lang, do you know what our biggest crisis is now?" Cao Cao did drink a lot today, and his steps were a little vain, but his thin eyes were still so bright, indicating that his mind was very quiet now!

"The biggest crisis? It should be that people's hearts are unstable! Xiao Yi also drank a lot today, especially those generals who were whipped by him, and took turns to pounce on them to toast, and drinking wine is one of the good ways to eliminate conflicts between men!

"Xiao Lang knows my heart!" Cao Cao laughed and patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder, "The old man has settled down in the hearts of all the generals in the camp, the next step is to appease the hearts of the millions of prisoners, can Xiao Lang accompany the old man and his party!" "(2)miào(2)bi.*(2)ge(2),

"I wonder how Gong Cao is going to appease the hearts of those Yellow Turban prisoners?"

How to collect the captives who surrendered as used has always been a historical problem, with high-ranking officials and generous lucies, with heavy money and beautiful women, and with steel knives and spears to coerce, but whether it is with profit or force, the effect is not very good, once the situation is unfavorable, these prisoners are easy to betray.

Now, if you want to appease the hearts of those Yellow Turban soldiers, the best way is to provide them with sufficient food and materials for the winter, and then slowly digest them and collect them for their own use, but Cao Yingli is now asking for money and lack of food, Xiao Yizhen doesn't know what else Cao Cao can come up with to appease people's hearts; Is it asking a wizard to cast a spell?

"The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to figure out, it can be described as ever-changing, loyalty, treachery, good and evil, love and hatred, right and wrong, all hidden between the hearts of people, even the saints are afraid it is difficult to figure out what is going on in people's hearts!" At this time, Cao Cao is not a traitor in troubled times, but like a philosopher, at least Xiao Yi has the feeling of returning to his college days and listening to philosophy classes!

"However, although it is difficult to know the hearts of people, it is not difficult to gather!"

"Oh, I don't know what kind of plan Cao Gong has, can he collect a million yellow scarves to surrender the hearts of prisoners?"

"Without him, it's just a matter of putting your heart in your heart!"
