Just this morning, Cao De was walking in the garden with Ren Hongchang as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info breathes the air with the breath of spring rejuvenation. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted the warm sweetness of Cao De and Ren Hongchang.

Cao De looked back and saw that it was a messenger. The messenger holds a very ordinary bamboo slip in his hand. Cao De took the bamboo slip and opened it slowly and casually as usual. But Cao De didn't read a few words. Immediately, he tucked the bamboo slip into his sleeve. Turning his head, he instructed the messenger: "Go, call Mr. Wenhe, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Fei, Zhang Lu, and Lu Gu to the study and wait for me." ”

Since the New Year's pass, Cao De ordered a few people to wait in Nanzheng City at all times and not to go out. Wait for news to come. And now Cao De finally gave the order to assemble.

After Cao De gave the order, he turned around and said to Ren Hongchang gently: "Hongchang, let's go back first." And Ren Hongchang naturally saw that Cao De had something important. Gently replied, "No need, I'll just go back by myself." Business matters. And Cao De insisted on sending Ren Hongchang back. In desperation, Ren Hongchang finally nodded.

Cao De after sending Ren Hongchang back. Immediately hurried to the study.

By the time Cao De arrived at the study, everyone had been waiting for a while. After Cao De entered the door, he immediately ordered the guards to guard carefully. Then Cao De closed the door of the study tightly.

After Jia Xu and the others saw Cao De enter the house, they were about to salute. Cao De waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary. Then Cao De walked quickly to his bookcase, took out the bamboo slip from his cuff, and put it on the bookcase with a snap. Then Cao De said slowly.

"The spies in Jizhou reported that five days ago, a group of people claiming to be the Yellow Turban Army in Julu in Jizhou announced an uprising, and then they broke through Julu. Then in two or three days, people from Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou responded. Now the entire Central Plains region can be said to be full of beacons. This is sent by the spies, everyone has a look. Cao De handed the bamboo slip to everyone for everyone to circulate.

After everyone finished reading it, Cao De continued: "There are three leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao, who calls himself General Tiangong, Zhang Bao, who calls himself General Digong, and Zhang Liang, who calls himself General Rengong. However, these three people are also led by Zhang Jiao. Because the rebel army wears yellow turbans on their heads, they call themselves the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army currently has 36 square commanders. There are more than 10,000 people in Dafang and 6,000 people in Xiaofang. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army must have numbered hundreds of thousands. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army is called 'the sky is dead, the Yellow Turban should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious'. So it's easy to recognize. But the Yellow Turbans were mostly composed of impoverished peasants and street gangsters. Now the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army is estimated to have shocked the Luoyang side. Now I order. Cao De suddenly raised his voice and said.

"Order Zhang Fei to lead a hundred cavalry to the Luoguguan camp to draw 1,000 elite people and rush to the Fangling camp to standby."

"Nuo" Zhang Fei stepped forward and took the token.

"Ling Cao Ren, immediately rush to the Shangyong camp to transfer six thousand elites, and rush to the Fangling camp to standby."

"No" Cao Ren stepped forward and took the token.

"Ling Xiahou Yuan, immediately prepare the army to go out to fight for supplies, and press to the Fang Ling camp to standby."

"No" Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and took the token.

"Ling Jiaxu, in a few days, I will set out on the expedition. The big and small affairs of Hanzhong are all up to you. ”

"Nuo" Jia Xu stepped forward to take the seal letter from Taishou.

"Ling Zhang Lu, Lu Gu. The two of you carefully assisted Jia Xu in managing Hanzhong. ”

"No."

"Go ahead, all of you. I want to be quiet. After Cao De finished giving the order, he suddenly felt as if his strength had been drained.

Everyone left the study one after another. Only Jia Xu stood quietly in place. After Jia Xu and the others left, after the door of the study was closed again, Jia Xu said slowly: "Lord, since the lord made a decision three years ago, why do you regret it today." Obviously, Jia Xu saw the change in Cao De's expression.

Cao De sighed helplessly and said: "Wenhe, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army is, to put it bluntly, a group of peasants fighting against the regular army of the Han Dynasty with hoes. That's hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"My lord. A woman's kindness will only trap you in it. As the saying goes, one will make ten thousand bones dry. Without a multitude of people dying, there can be no new order. When the judgment continues, the lord should know the truth, and please don't make mistakes. Suddenly, Cao Decai inexplicably remembered that Jia Xu was called a poisoner.

"Don't worry, Wenhe. I'm just sighing. I'm on my way in a few days, and you're going to have to watch our backyard. Cao De looked at Jia Xu deeply.

Jia Xu bowed down and said, "Don't worry, lord. Wen He will definitely not disappoint the lord. There is another thing, Wen He is not clear, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just broken out, the lord will immediately send troops, will it make people suspicious. ”

Cao De shook his head and said silently: "In a few days, Luoyang will issue an official document to fight against thieves, calling on the world's heroes to recruit volunteers and soldiers on their own to crusade against the Yellow Turban." We'll wait for the thief's official letter to be sent before we set off. ”

Soon the two ended their conversation. After Cao De stayed in the study for a while, he went to Ren Hongchang's small courtyard. Cao De rubbed his face vigorously with his hands before entering the door, so that the stiff muscles of his face became looser.

Cao De had just entered the door, and the first thing that caught his eye was a piece of soft armor. Cao De stared at the soft armor in surprise for a while, and didn't come back to his senses until Ren Hongchang came over. Without waiting for Cao De to ask, Ren Hongchang first said: "Today, the concubine accidentally saw the general's official document. But after only reading a few words about the rebel army, and listening to the general's words these days, the concubine knew that the general would definitely go to the battlefield. The concubine couldn't do anything, so she could only compile a soft armor for the general. ”

After Cao De heard this, he hugged Ren Hongchang hard. "It's really hard for you, you are still pregnant, I went out this time, and it is likely that I will not be around when you give birth. I've failed you again. ”

Ren Hongchang gently stroked Cao De's back and said slowly: "Although the concubine can't be in the hall of elegance, she also understands which is more important. Please also ask the general to put the cause first. There is no need to worry about it at home. ”

After Cao De heard this, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart, and he couldn't help but add more strength in his hands. Suddenly, Cao De remembered how Ren Hongchang called himself a general. Ren Hongchang chuckled: "In a few days, the general will lead thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the battlefield." If you don't call the general, do you still want to call the childe? ”

After hearing this, Cao De couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what more could he ask for if he had a wife like this.

Cao De was always by Ren Hongchang's side in the next few days. Of course, when the information about the Yellow Turban Rebellion came, Cao De still had to watch it for the first time. But Cao De really didn't do any other work.

As Cao De expected, on the tenth day of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Luoyang issued a notice to beg for thieves. And when Cao De received the notice, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had already broken out for fifteen days.

In the early morning of the second day after receiving the notice, Cao De said goodbye to Ren Hongchang. With 200 cavalry, he went straight to the Fangling camp.

On the way to the Fangling camp, Cao De laughed every time he remembered the content of the notice.

The notice says:

Yellow turban thieves, rabble, messing with my rivers and mountains, heaven will not tolerate it. However, His Majesty suddenly loved talents and promoted young talents. It is hereby decreed that young talents from all over the country will recruit volunteers and brave themselves to join forces with the masters of the Celestial Empire to defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves. Those who recruit 2,000 people can receive their own doctors, those who recruit 4,000 people can receive Guanglu doctors, and those who recruit 6,000 people can lead their own cavalry captains. After the yellow scarf is evaluated, the battle exploits will be presented, and then the reward will be awarded. Yun Yun.

In this way, Cao De gathered more than 7,000 people. In addition, the logistics supply personnel is just over 10,000 people. According to the notice, Cao De is now a cavalry lieutenant. In the army, he is also a miscellaneous general. In order to save effort, Cao De pressed his own words on the title of general. General Ampang.
