Chapter XXXII
The moment he entered Cao Cao's study, Yuan Yun was surprised, the space here had been expanded a lot, widening no less than ten meters to both sides, and after seeing the people in the room again, he felt that it really needed to be expanded, because it was still full of people even now.
Yuan Yun carefully swept over everyone's faces, and found that many of them had never been seen before, so it was certain that Cao Cao's staff team had been growing over the years, and the scale of the number of people was already unbearable in the small study in the past.
In addition, Yuan Yun also discovered another strange phenomenon, that is, his position was actually ranked in the fifth seat on the left side of Cao Cao, which was quite a high position, if it was changed to the past, he would be arranged at the door at most.
In the top position of Yuan Yun, there are naturally Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu and other big-name figures, and Cao Hong, who has met Yuan Yun, is also among them, and he is constantly smiling at Yuan Yun at the moment, looking very friendly.
At this time, I saw Cao Ang, who was in the top position, tilted his head, and then lowered his voice and said: "The shopkeeper of your family is much more generous than your Hou Ye, you gave Guo Jiajun three broken beads, your shopkeeper named Su Jie, but he gave Cao Hong two glass bead necklaces in one go, he is really generous, Uncle Cao Hong has been showing off with me." ”
Yuan Yun smiled embarrassedly, and was not in a hurry to answer, glanced left and right slightly, and then replied in a low voice: "Everyone is brothers, if Brother Cao Ang likes it, I will send Shi Shen to send you dozens of glassware to play with, what is this?" ”
Cao Ang frowned, and said unhappily: "In the past, I also cherished the glazed ware, and since I saw that you can casually burn a bunch of them in your yard, I have no interest in it anymore. ”
Yuan Yun was not angry when Cao Ang directly rejected him in person, he looked at Guo Jia opposite, and then stretched out an index finger to Cao Ang and put it to his mouth, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which was considered to have been revealed.
Cao Cao had been looking at the few volumes of documents in his hand until everyone was quiet, and he only nodded at Yuan Yun's arrival, which could be regarded as an explanation.
Yuan Yun sat down slightly, and he felt as if there was a guy glaring at him, he knew with his ass that it was Cao Ren, and this thing was now almost all about to transfer all his hatred for Cao Ang to him Yuan Yun, which was really a bit inexplicable.
Cao Cao finally raised his head, just waved his arm, and the audience immediately fell silent, everyone's eyes were focused on the main seat, not even a loud panting, one can imagine Cao Cao's current might.
Cao Cao's eyes swept over everyone, and he suddenly smiled, and said: "You don't have to be too restrained, today we are just discussing the strategy of testing Yuan Shang, since the main lord has arrived, what we said before can be recounted again." ”
After speaking, Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and Yuan Yun, and continued: "Cao Ang has now set up a mansion, and the scale of the gunpowder army has also expanded to nearly 30,000 people, but so many people can only train every day, but they don't farm, the old man feels pain when he looks at it, so you must let you have something to do, otherwise it won't be in vain." ”
Yuan Yun's face still kept a smile, but he scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu spent the money he earned, and the court didn't give out a penny, what is there to hurt now, don't you just want to find an excuse to send the gunpowder army to the front line, you have to go around so far to say it, it's not too troublesome.
Cao Ang cautiously hugged his fists at this time, and said: "What my father said is extremely true, the gunpowder army also needs this opportunity to exercise, and this crusade against Yuan Shang will inevitably rush to the forefront." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him, and then said: "It's not a crusade, this time the gunpowder army went to Yecheng mainly to try, and it is simply ridiculous to want to take Yecheng with 20,000 people, so I must not be impatient, just follow the steps." ”
Cao Ang bowed his hand slightly, and replied respectfully: "Follow my father's teachings!" ”
Cao Cao saw that Cao Ang agreed so happily, and Yuan Yun, who was sitting on the side, did not show any disgust, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but when he thought that the gunpowder army would send a maximum of 20,000 horses, and they would not be able to attack Yecheng even if they were brave, even the children on the street could understand that these two boys should not be too arbitrary.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao was just about to give an official order, but when he saw Cao Ren stand up, he clasped his fists and saluted, and immediately snorted at Yuan Yun and Cao Ang, and said: "The lord should not be too impulsive, although Cao Ang has some experience in the army, but after all, he is young, and he must have many shortcomings in leading an army so early. ”
Cao Cao squinted slightly, then glanced at Yuan Yun and Cao Ang, and then smiled at Cao Ren: "Is there a better candidate for Zixiao to lead the Gunpowder Army?" ”
Cao Ren immediately patted his chest when he heard this, and said confidently: "Most of the old man's subordinates are generals who have been living and dying on the battlefield all year round, and if you find a good candidate, you will be better than Cao Ang and Yuan Hou." ”
Before Cao Ren's words fell, Yuan Yun immediately raised his two arms before Cao Ang objected, and then said with a smile: "It's easy to say, then it's all handed over to General Cao Ren." ”
Facing such a bachelor Yuan Yun, Cao Cao and Cao Ren were both shocked on their faces, they never thought that Yuan Yun would compromise so easily, this would definitely be a problem.
After a moment's effort, Cao Ren immediately became embarrassed, now it is not a promise, it is not a promise, at first he was very happy that Yuan Yun was willing to compromise, but now he felt extremely heavy, and he had already guessed in his heart what kind of ghost idea Yuan Yun was thinking about.
Without waiting for Cao Ren to answer, Yuan Yun laughed again and said: "Back then, General Cao Ren also patted his chest and promised, saying that he would hand over the new city to you to take care of it, and ensure that it was stronger than us, what is the result, I believe everyone here knows very well that now General Cao Ren is going to snatch the command of the Gunpowder Army again, and this Hou will hand it over to you."
But this time we must make a written note, once there is a mistake in the gunpowder army, please General Cao Ren to bring your head to see, oh yes, and your veteran generals, not a single head is missing, this time it is not a city, but the lives of 20,000 well-trained soldiers, and I and the prince will not be able to wipe your ass for General Cao Ren again. ”
Cao Ren's eyes kept flickering, and he was hesitant in his heart, if he agreed now, he would immediately have an extra 20,000 gunpowder troops armed to the teeth in his hands, but looking at Yuan Yun's calm expression, he felt a little frightened.
In the end, Cao Ren still lost to impulse, slapped the table fiercely, and shouted: "Xiao'er dares to insult the old man, this gunpowder army will definitely take over today." ”
Yuan Yun didn't panic when he saw Cao Ren say this, and immediately asked, "Those generals who don't know General Cao Ren, do they know how to use gunpowder bullets?" ”
Cao Ren snorted, but did not answer directly, but everyone present could see that his subordinates did not understand what powder bullets were.
Yuan Yun asked again: "Then I don't know about the incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, mines, wire arrays, these things General Cao Ren and those generals know a little bit about it?" ”
Cao Ren was a little angry now, snorted heavily, and said unhappily: "The generals under the old man are all true warriors who lick blood from the knife edge, where will those obscene things be used?" ”
Yuan Yun laughed loudly, his eyes were cold in an instant, and he stared at Cao Ren and said: "I don't understand anything, General Cao Ren plans to let his people lead the gunpowder army, the generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, does General Cao Ren think that Yuan Shang will take the initiative to surrender when he listens to your prestige?"
If that's the case, it's better to send you alone, now that you want to seize the command of the Gunpowder Army, then you have to give an explanation, don't take responsibility for anything, just rely on you Cao Ren to pat his chest and guarantee? I don't think it's worth even a fart, General Cao Ren might as well put his head on the main table now, so as not to implicate the lives of more than 20,000 gunpowder soldiers. ”
After Yuan Yun finished speaking, all the princes in the audience began to nod their heads in agreement, for Cao Ren's recklessness, some people were persuading, some people were sighing, and some even directly scolded him for being a fool, Xu Chu was like this.
Yuan Yun looked at the form of the house a little, and found that his status has really changed a lot now, if he dared to speak to Cao Ren like this in the past, he would guarantee that many people would stand up and slap his face, but today more people are persuading Cao Ren not to be so reckless, it seems that his own achievements in building Luoyang really made these guys finally look up to them.
Cao Ren's face was blue and white at the moment, and he couldn't wait to eat Yuan Yun alive now, but now Yuan Yun's status is very different, and he has become the most promising rising star, and it is really not easy for him to move him now.
Before, people thought that Yuan Yun was just relying on some luck of the immortal family, which made a lot of contributions, but after Luoyang was gradually established, everyone began to change their minds and thought that Yuan Yun was a person who could achieve great things.
In addition, Cao Ang is now also optimistic about the future heir status because of Yuan Yun's relationship, resulting in the two of them now becoming the hottest characters in Xu Du, and what is even more terrifying is that the relationship between these two people is not good, and many people have begun to say that they are the future mainstay of the Cao family.
There are definitely not a few people who have such thoughts in this room, and now many people have already had the idea of seeing the wind and making the rudder, and now in this form, if they don't stand on the side of Cao Ang and Yuan Yun, they are definitely fools.
As for Cao Ren and Cao Pi, although many people also know that they are strong, Cao Pi is young after all, and Cao Ren's family has suffered huge losses several times recently, and now the strength in their hands has been greatly reduced.
This is a wake-up call for many people, if they stand on the side of Cao Ren again, once they wait for Cao Ang to succeed to the throne, they will inevitably be liquidated, this kind of thing is simply too commonplace, and now most of the people in this study are clan children, and their inherent family concept has to be re-evaluated.
"Zixiao, don't talk, Yuan Hou is right, the general doesn't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, this battle doesn't have to be fought, you are also a master of the art of war, and the truth in the middle doesn't need to be explained to you by the old man." Cao Cao finally spoke, and Cao Ren also took advantage of the situation, and found a step to go down.
After Cao Cao finished explaining to Cao Ren, he turned to Cao Ang and said: "The commander of the gunpowder army must be the eldest son of the old man, Cao Ang, there is no doubt about this, this kind of thing is changed before the battle, even if the old man is mediocre, he can't do it, so there is no need to discuss this matter, let's talk about the policy of the gunpowder army's actions first, Xiahoudun, where is Xu Chu?" ”
With Cao Cao's summons, Xiahoudun and Xu Chu stood up one after another, and then clenched their fists and waited for the lord's next speech.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "With the two of you leading 20,000 male divisions to protect the wings of the gunpowder army, it may be possible?" ”
Xiahoudun and Xu Chu naturally hugged their fists to receive their lives, shouting that everything is worry-free, Xu Chu also derogated Cao Ren by the way, only saying that the other party was too old and too mediocre, it was better to hand over the military power earlier and go home to retire, and glared at Cao Ren angrily, but he was helpless.
Originally, Xu Chu was just saying that, and he didn't really want Cao Ren's military power, but Yuan Yun didn't think so, and at this moment, he had already stood up with Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, and then bowed his hand slightly to Cao Cao, and said, "Can Cao Sikong let General Cao Chun hand over the command of the tiger and leopard cavalry?"
