Chapter 123: Ma Xiang and Jia Long
Cao De ran to find Jia Xu and Xun Yu early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Xu Shu was rushing to the Shangyong camp to complete the reorganization of the army and the recruitment of new soldiers. Therefore, Xu Shu was not in Nanzheng City.
When Cao De found Jia Xu and Xun Yu, Xun Yu was about to go out. Go out and investigate land reform. It can be said that Cao De came just in time. If it is half a quarter in the evening, maybe Xun Yu will go out, and in the middle of the morning, Jia Xu and Xun Yu may not be together.
Cao De grabbed Xun Yu, who was about to go out. Pulling Xun Yu to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu and Xun Yu saw that Cao De must have something to do, otherwise they would not act like this. So after Jia Xu saluted, he asked Cao De what was the matter, so anxious.
Cao De hurriedly told the two of them about yesterday's problem. The reaction of the two after hearing it made Cao De feel like a fool. After Jia Xu heard this, he smiled and stroked his beard. And Xun Yu laughed when he heard it, as if he was laughing at Cao De, you stupid.
Cao De couldn't help but be a little annoyed as he watched the reactions of the two. What's going on, I'm going to be so angry here, you two are still playing dumb riddles with me. After Xun Yu finished laughing, he saw Cao De's sharp eyes, and knew that Cao De was about to get angry, so he hurriedly said, "The general should still consult Mr. Wenhe." Mr. Wenhe already had a countermeasure, and Yu still had something to do, so he retired first. ”
After Xun Yu's reminder, Cao De remembered that Jia Xu also knew about this a long time ago. At that time, Jia Xu concealed it and did not report it, and he never saw Jia Xu report the matter again. Na Jia Xu must have taken care of it.
So Cao De nodded and allowed Xun Yu's retirement. stared at Jia Xu. Cao De's sharp eyes told Jia Xu, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, see how I clean you up.
After Jia Xu waited for Xun Yu to leave, he closed the door and put Cao Drake on the main seat. Jia Xu clenched his fists and said to Cao De.
"Lord," Jia Xu and others have always called Cao De a general in front of people, and only when two people talk alone, will they call Cao De the lord.
"Lord, if you have something to hide from your lord, please punish him. Regarding the occurrence of the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou, at that time, when the lord led the army to the north, he was worried that the lord would be distracted, so he never told the lord and made an initiative without authorization. Jia Xu was the first to plead guilty.
Of course Cao De can't say it, I know about this, and I also know that you gave me a prelude. Isn't this just telling your subordinates that I've been watching you?
Cao De said anxiously: "I understand Wenhe's suffering. Now that Wenhe already has a countermeasure, let's talk about it directly. I will not pursue the previous matter. I believe in Wenhe. ”
Invisibly, Cao De successfully bought the hearts of the people.
Subsequently, Jia Xu said: "Lord, don't care about Luoyang first. Now that the lord has learned that the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army killed Xuan Jian, the lord can know the details. ”
Cao De shook his head, "I would like to hear about it." "Since Jia Xu mentioned this, it will definitely be useful. It's impossible for Jia Xu to talk nonsense.
Jia Xu continued: "This Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Yizhou. It was the Yellow Turban Army that the lord broke up when he was in Nanyang. Somehow, they actually wandered all the way to Yizhou. At that time, his subordinates received a report from Xizuo, and his subordinates immediately launched an operation, monitoring this group of Yellow Turban troops and strengthening the defense of Baishui Pass. After waiting for his subordinates to give the order, he thought about it, and this Yellow Turban Army could become the blade of the lord. So his subordinates privately contacted the Yellow Turban Army. The leader of this Yellow Turban Army is a man named Ma Xiang. This man has courage and righteousness. When his subordinates sent someone to contact Ma Xiang and offered to fund Ma Xiang, Ma Xiang did not trust his subordinates at first. After a long period of suspicion, Ma Xiang accepted the funding from his subordinates. The intention of the subordinates is to use Ma Xiang to create large-scale chaos in Yizhou, which is conducive to the future lord sending troops to fish in troubled waters. Obtain Yizhou at the lowest cost. The lord can imagine that without the assistance of my Hanzhong, how could a single horse minister have the strength to besiege Chengdu.
But what I didn't expect was that there was a guy named Jia Long in Yizhou. This person is also very courageous and resourceful. In the case of Xuan Jian's inaction, he led the city guards of Yizhou to defeat Ma Xiang, who was funded by my Hanzhong, several times.
However, Ma Xiang's strength is still much stronger than Jia Long's under our funding. In the end, Ma Xiangyong used his suspicions to distract Jia Long's attention. Then took the opportunity to surround Chengdu. And this Xuan Jian led the army to look for Ma Xiang several times, but Ma Xiang showed weakness and fled. Therefore, Ma Xiang after the siege of Chengdu. Xuan Jian self-righteously led the army to fight with Ma Xiang out of the city. At this time, Ma Xiangcai showed his skills and killed Xuan Jian.
For generals, a chaotic Yizhou is much easier to get than a stable Yizhou. The general can completely attack Ma Xiang's lair under the banner of the official army and smoothly.
However, in view of the fact that our Hanzhong army is not suitable to go out at this moment. The general could have funded Jia Long again. Let Garon and the horse kill each other. After the strength of the two declined, the general entered Yizhou as a Han reinforcement. Conquest of horses. At that time, the banner of the general was the Han official army. The Yizhou garrison, who is also an official army of the Han Dynasty, will naturally open the camp door for the general. In this way, the road to attack Yizhou will not be unimpeded.
As for Luoyang. The general can completely delay and delay. Wait for the black smoke miasma of Yizhou's chaos, and wait until it can no longer be delayed. It's best to drag it out for three or four months. After that, the general reported to the Emperor of Luoyang. At the time, whether the Son of Heaven appointed the general as an assassin or sent another assassin. The most elite soldiers and horses in Yizhou are all in the hands of the general. Can a small Yizhou thorn history make any waves? ”
After Cao De heard this, he slapped his thigh. Good strategy. That's it.
Subsequently, Cao De handed over all the affairs of Yizhou to Jia Xu for management. Cao De himself went to grasp the training of the troops. The sooner the combat effectiveness of the army is formed, the sooner the problem of Yizhou will be solved. Don't forget, Cao De and Cai Wenji are going to get married in October.
Cao De entered Jia Xu's office with a sad face, and left with a smile. After Cao De returned to the general's mansion, he packed up his things and ran to the Shangyong camp. Together with Xu Shu, he was busy with the reorganization of the army.
After Cao De came to the Shangyong camp, the 50,000 Hanzhong regular troops who had undergone reorganization had all assembled in the Shangyong camp at this moment. And Xu Shu also began the work of reorganization.
Under Xu Shu's reasonable arrangement, the reorganization work was carried out in an orderly manner. Cao De couldn't intervene at all, and Cao De, who couldn't stay idle, had to run to the labor camp to add to the chaos.
Labor camp, at first Cao De wanted to call it the Construction Corps. The construction corps first appeared in the hands of Cao Cao. Cao Cao accepted Zao's suggestion and asked the soldiers to stay behind for defense when there was no war. The rest all went to work in the fields. Conduct tuntian.
Since Cao Cao implemented Tuntian, some far-sighted figures in the past dynasties have practiced Tuntian. As a later generation, Cao De naturally knows the meaning of Tuntian. Therefore, the earliest tuntian system appeared in the hands of Cao De.
However, Cao De's tuntian system is different from Cao Cao's. Cao Detuntian's men were captured from the battlefield. Wouldn't it be a waste to have so much labor to spare.
Therefore, when Cao De took in the prisoners, he put forward the slogan of serving five years of labor in Hanzhong and regaining his freedom after five years. To put it bluntly, it's like a prison in the future.
You made a mistake. If I catch you, you'll have to go to jail. When you go to prison, do you have to eat and drink for nothing? That's not good, I Cao De can't make a loss-making deal. You are idle, and I do not kill you rebels, but you eat my food and live in my place. I can't help but do some work.
Isn't this a famous labor camp prisoner in later generations? Therefore, Cao De waved his pen and the labor camp came out. The full name is the Labor Reform Camp.
In fact, the purpose of Cao De's establishment of the labor camp was to make it easy to catch strong men. If you need a strong man, go around the labor camp. Anyway, all the people here were caught from the battlefield. They were peasants before they became soldiers, and when they became soldiers, they were captured. After being captured, it is possible to farm, and it is also possible to join the army after retraining. No matter how they are, they are also people who have been on the battlefield, and their foundation is a little thicker than ordinary people.
And Cao De also made a sentence when attracting these captives. When the captives have regained their freedom, they can decide whether to go or stay.
In Cao De's thoughts. These captives won't let you really work for five years. Before you can finish your five years of peaceful life, you will be pulled out and sent to the battlefield one by one. As long as someone is lucky enough to get the merit. Cao De is generous enough to appreciate some land and money. Although the people in the Central Plains have a strong hometown complex. But you are all rich in Hanzhongtian, who will run away to your hometown where you have nothing. In this way, Cao De will get a large number of people who have settled in Hanzhong.
And wherever you go, people are the most important thing. With people, you have the possibility to do something else. As long as 10,000 captives remain after five years. They will have to marry and have children in Hanzhong. One person becomes four people after a few years, five people or even more.
This is good for long-term development in the future.
When Cao De arrived at the labor camp, the 30,000 recruits had basically been selected.
The labor camp is full of young people who have been enthusiastic and strong. After getting the news, now there is a chance to join the army. This time it's not a peasant army that's messing around. Rather, it is a regular Han regular army. Although it is said that the salary is a little less, after all, there is still a chance to make military achievements. With military merit, then there is everything.
Therefore, Xiahou Yuan's recruitment work went smoothly. Originally, only 30,000 people were recruited, but nearly 50,000 people came to sign up.
In the end, Xiahou Yuan selected 30,000 people who were physically strong and knew some martial arts from the 50,000 people who signed up. A new army was formed.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers after the selection of the Five Elements Battalion were also dispersed and scattered into the two new armies, the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion.
Most of them served as junior officers such as chiefs and centurions. In this way, they can firmly grasp the troops in their own hands and ensure their allegiance. And they came to instill the idea of Hanzhong and my family to the soldiers who came to surrender anytime and anywhere.
Now that the selection of recruits is complete, let's start training. The two top officers of the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. I also came to the labor camp early. This is the choice of soldiers for both of them. Can they do it if they don't come?
Although Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao came, they were really not good at training soldiers. If you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, Zou Cang and Pei Yuanshao really don't frown. Therefore, the task of training soldiers still fell on Xiahou Yuan.
From the establishment of the first army in Hanzhong to the present. The training of recruits has always been on Xiahou Yuan's body, and Xiahou Yuan can also be said to be familiar with this.
Now Cao De has arrived. Xiahou Yuan's workload can be said to have decreased. Cao De can also be an assistant instructor.
Cao De's training is nothing more than some physical training, physical fitness training, nervous reaction training and so on.
Therefore, Cao De directly took out the method of training himself back then.
Running with weights, sit-ups, pull-ups, that's the basics.
There are also obstacle runs, special marches, emergency gatherings, and so on.
Cao De is only capable of the most basic training. Moreover, Cao De's training methods were also learned from watching TV in his previous life.
As for the training of killing skills and the deduction of formations. This still has to rely on Xiahou Yuan.
Time passed quickly and unconsciously for a month and a half. The formation of the Five Elements Battalion has been completed. Training is in full swing right now.
The training of the 40,000 new troops is also in full swing. Cao De has gained a new nickname in this month, and that is the whole dead.
In the early stage of physical training, Cao De made 40,000 recruits unable to wake up every day, and they were in pain all day long. But the effect of the training is really noticeable. On a bloody battlefield where you have a little more physical strength than the enemy, then you have a great chance of surviving. It's the law.
And Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were originally happily watching the soldiers train. But Cao De threw the two of them into the training team with a word. Cao De said this: "These soldiers will go into battle with you to kill the enemy in a few days, and they can be delivered to the brothers in the back." They're sweating now, but you're lounging. Is there such a commander who shares the weal and woe with the soldiers? ”
More than half a month passed. In Cao De's view, no amount of training has begun to make up for it. It's time to put it into practice on the battlefield. Therefore, Cao De resigned from the post of deputy instructor. Returned to Nanzheng City.
Then, according to Jia Xu's strategy, he sent a messenger to Luoyang, Lu Gu.
When Lu Gu was about to set off, Cao De specially instructed Lu Gu. If Luoyang asks me to be a assassin to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, then you will hurry up on the road. If Luoyang gives us a thorn in the sky, then you can create some damage, and the slower you go, the better.
Lu Gu set off with Cao De's order. Lu Gu's departure was already a month later after he came back.
At this time, Cao De was already impatient.
Joke. It's April now, and I'm going to get a new wife in October. Do I want to marry a daughter-in-law in the Yizhou barracks?
Cao De, you are still unreasonable, you are making the family go slower. They have done your job beautifully, and now you're starting to bury them. Like words. (To be continued.) )
