Chapter 61: The New Army is formed

In order to solve the two problems of the large number of prisoners in Wancheng, the lack of soldiers and horses that have attacked Yingchuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Cao De thought of a solution that was not a solution. In desperation, Cao De had no choice but to come to the prisoner camp. However, what Cao De didn't expect was that the early effect was still okay. In fact, when Cao De first captured the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't think about reorganizing the Yellow Turban Army. Become your own army. But Cao De also has concerns.

First, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is really not on the table. It's okay to fight a good fight, as long as they are frustrated in the battle, the Yellow Turban Army may not know what to do. Second, it is the military spirit. After all, the current situation is not a struggle for hegemony. Everybody, you hit me, I'll beat you. Whoever gives food will be a soldier to whomever he serves. The fighting is now between the officers and the rebels. In the previous example, the officers and soldiers had no affection for the traitors. Kill as long as you take prisoners. You are rebels, and this must not be kept. However, Cao De couldn't bear to kill so many captives, so he could only press all the captives back to Hanzhong, and after a long period of brainwashing, he would move on to the next step.

But now the situation has to take a dangerous move. Therefore, Cao De could only bite the bullet.

By the afternoon of the next day. Xu Shu came to report the good news to Cao De. Of the 50,000 captives, nearly 7,000 joined the army, and more than 20,000 wanted to go to Hanzhong County. More than 20,000 people chose to return to their hometowns. In order to prevent those people from making trouble, Xu Shu sent enough dry food and sent the departing Yellow Turban prisoners out of the city.

After Cao De listened. Asked Xu Shudao: "Now there are more than 4,000 of us in the city." There are less than a thousand wounded. Xu Shu nodded: "Exactly." ”

Cao De thought for a while and said, "In this way, at the latest tomorrow morning, Zixiao will be able to arrive in Wancheng with more than 1,000 horses from Deng Cheng and An Zhong." Well, so be it. Draw 2,000 of our elite and mix them into the newly recruited men. Each veteran with three recruits, Yuan Zhi, remember to tell our veterans to promote the good of our Hanzhong to the recruits, and instill loyalty to them inadvertently and for a long time. Arrange for 1,500 soldiers to return to Hanzhong with more than 20,000 people, and arrange for those who have lost their combat effectiveness but can walk. After arranging for 500 men and horses to return to Shancheng with the seriously wounded to recuperate and garrison. In this way, we barely have two thousand elites. Organize the elite into a battalion. The nine thousand men were organized into new barracks. Once something goes wrong in the new military camp, the elite battalion will be the straw that saves our lives. Therefore, the elite battalion should be arranged around our important people, and we must always be vigilant. In addition, Yuan Zhi, you pay more attention to that Liao Hua to see if it is a talent that can be created. ”

After Cao De finished speaking, Xu Shu was ordered to retire.

In the evening, Cao Ren arrived in Wancheng ahead of schedule with 1,500 men and horses. The defense task of Dengcheng was taken over by Pei Yuanshao of Anzhong. After Cao Ren entered the city, intimacy with his brothers was unavoidable. At this time, Cao De burned the burden to Xu Shu and went to drink with his brothers.

It only took three days for Xu Shu to complete the formation of the new army in an orderly manner. The commanders and chiefs in the new army were basically all veterans of Cao Dejun's army, and some veterans held the posts of senior officers such as captains. In this way, even if there were Yellow Turban captives who served as high-ranking officers, it would be impossible for them to command the lowest soldiers. Moreover, there are Cao Dejun veterans in the same position to contain them, which is an extra layer of insurance.

Now that the new army has been formed, the next thing is training. Although it is easy to build an army, you can call yourself an army by pulling up a group of people, giving you a knife and a spear. But to go to war, you still have to go through training. In this way, the problem that Cao Cao was originally worried about appeared.

Now, it has been six or seven days since Wancheng was recovered. It's time to head to Yingchuan. Otherwise, Zhu Jun would have jumped to his feet. Lao Tzu is working the front line, and you two are spending all day drinking in the back.

So, on the third day of the establishment of Cao De's new army. Cao Cao and Cao De rushed to Yingchuan with nearly 20,000 horses. For the training of the new army, Cao De can be regarded as having a big brain. Cao De asked Cao Cao to go first, and then arranged for the new army to conduct various technical training in the first afternoon, after lunch. Cao De's whole army lined up and hurriedly chased after Cao Cao. If you can't keep up with the team, you won't have anything to eat at night, and then Cao De also arranged for 300 cavalry to hang at the back of the team far away, and if you fall behind, you will take a stick to whip it.

When night fell one day, Cao De was still more than ten miles away from Cao Cao. And Cao De's new army, after Cao De ordered to rest, the vast majority of people immediately fell asleep. Immediately after that, the second day continues with the first day of the training session.

Originally, it would take four days to rush from Wancheng to Yingchuan for a rapid march, and Cao Cao walked for ten days in order to take care of Cao De. Every time, it is not far away, not close, hanging Cao De more than ten miles away. At the beginning, Cao De's new army was still very difficult. But from the seventh day onwards, most of the soldiers became accustomed to the intense training and gradually eased up. Then came the outbreak period of Cao Dejun. Cao Dejun once caught up with Cao Cao's tail.

When they arrived at the west gate of Yingchuan City, the arrival of Cao De's army was more than half an hour away from Cao Cao's army. Cao Dejun finally finished his ten-day high-intensity training and could sleep peacefully.

And Cao De asked Cao Cao for leave early the morning of the second day when he arrived at Yingchuan City and went to Yingchuan Academy at the foot of Songshan Mountain. Cao De only brought more than ten guards with him to Yingchuan Academy this time. The light horse rushed to the door of Yingchuan Academy. Since the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan Territory was driven into Yingchuan City, Cao De did not encounter anything along the way. It's just that the miserable appearance after the Yellow Turban Army really made Cao De feel a burst of heartache. A few years ago, when Cao De first came to Yingchuan Academy, although the local people lived a very difficult life, the bustling crowds everywhere were now nowhere to go.

Cao De gently knocked on the door of Yingchuan Academy. After a long time, the door of the academy slowly opened, and a child that Cao De had never seen before showed his little head. "Who are you looking for?" Cao De smiled: "Please inform Mr. Shui Jing, the deceased is visiting." The boy tilted his head and said, "But the gentleman said that he did not see anyone." Cao De squatted down, wanting to reach out and touch the child's cute little head, but the child turned his head to dodge, Cao De rubbed his fingers in embarrassment, and said: "You go and report, you just say that I am a disciple and old friend of Mr., and Mr. will definitely see me." I promise. The boy thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Then, with a thud, the door slammed shut shut again. Only Cao De was left staring awkwardly outside the door.

After a while, the door was reopened, and it was the same child who opened the door, "Sir, please come in." With that, the child generously opened the door behind him.

Cao De took off the ring-headed broadsword at his waist, handed it to the guards who came with him, and commanded: "You wait again, I will come when I go." Thou shalt not disturb the people, and thou shalt not make trouble. ”

After the guards behind him took Cao De's saber, they made a promise. Cao De turned around and entered the gate of the academy.
