Chapter 120: Kick-off Mobilization Meeting after the New Year

Cao De stayed in the Fangling camp for three days. Three days after the pen & fun > pavilion www.biquge.info Cao De began to embark on the return journey. The original mighty convoy is now much smaller. With the exception of some wagons that were necessary for the entourage, almost all the wagons that hauled supplies were left behind.

Now Cai Wenji is finally sitting in Cao De's carriage in the open. After the two of them pierced the layer of paper, there was finally no barrier and entered the stage of glue-like paint. Although the current Cai Wenji has run into the bowl by herself, Cao De still did not take the last step. It's not that Cao De doesn't want to, but that Sister Wen Ji disagrees.

After five days of walking, the convoy finally returned to Nanzheng City. In these five days, Cao De felt as if time was a blink of an eye. It's not, every day I nest in a carriage with Sister Wen Ji, you and me.

But after the convoy entered the gate of Nanzheng City, Cao De suddenly remembered a question, that is, how to explain it to Ren Hongchang. Cai Wenji looked at Cao De's tightly knit brows and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the general, is there something to worry about?" Cao De sighed and confessed what he had done to Cai Wenji. I hope this talented woman can help herself. But Cai Wenji smiled after hearing this and said: "Since it was the general's lie, the general still needs to fulfill this lie." Is the general going to leave this problem to me, a weak woman? ”

When Cao De heard this, he was speechless! Cao De thought about it, but he had no choice but to put his heart sideways and let it out!

After Cao De returned to the General's Mansion, he found Ren Hongchang. first asked with a smile, which made Ren Hongchang confused. In the end, Cao De still told the matter.

But Ren Hongchang smiled gently after hearing this, and said: "The general is a hero among the people, and his future is immeasurable. What's the harm in having three wives and four concubines? What's more, the concubine had long thought that Sister Wen Ji's entry into my Cao family was a good match, and it was a matter of course. Why bother the general! ”

Obviously, Cao De didn't expect to get such an answer. After that, Cao De thought about it, yes, now is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not monogamy in later generations. Although Cao De wanted to occupy a few more beauties, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. I feel sorry for Ren Hongchang.

Especially now. Cao De looked at Ren Hongchang's clear eyes. couldn't help but hug Ren Hongchang hard. Originally, Cao De was going to do the thing, but now it seems. Cao De has to do it!

On the third day of Cao De's return to Nanzheng, he summoned all the people who held important positions in Hanzhong. Of course, Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in the Shangyong camp, still failed to arrive.

On this morning, the gate of General Nanzheng's mansion was opened early. Immediately afterwards, an endless stream of carriages rushed to the general's mansion on the morning light.

In the antechamber of the General's Palace. Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun...... It's already here, and now it's just waiting for Cao De's arrival.

It was three quarters past the hour. Cao De, dressed in decent cotton clothes, arrived. Everyone in the front hall bent down and clenched their fists: "Welcome to the general!" ”

"You don't have to be polite." Cao De put away his usual grinning smile and said seriously.

Then, Cao De strode to the main seat and sat down cross-legged. Then, everyone in the front hall also sat down cross-legged. Immediately afterwards, the door of the front hall was slowly closed by Cao De's personal guards.

Cao De raised his eyes and looked at everyone present, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, last March. The Yellow Turban was in turmoil, and I ordered 10,000 troops to go east to Hanzhong to conquer the Yellow Turban. After more than nine months, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was finally exterminated. Jia Xu, Jia Master Book. ”

Jia Xu stepped forward, "Humble duty!" ”

"I am no longer in Hanzhong. The affairs of Hanzhong are all decided by the master book. And report to me, how is the development of Yu Hanzhong in September? Cao De asked.

"No. There were 198 warehouses of various kinds in Hanzhong County. Among them, there are 93 granaries, 30 armory warehouses, and 75 other various supply warehouses. Seven or eight each. When the general led the army to go on the expedition, the need for the army to go out was used up to 30%. After that, the general did not ask Hanzhong for a single weapon or food, but continued to transport all kinds of materials back to Hanzhong. There is no reduction and compensation in the position. In addition, last year's wind and rain were smooth and the grains were abundant. Today, there are 120 granaries, 40 armory warehouses, and 100 other supply warehouses in Hanzhong. The warehouses are full, but there is overflow. There are still more than 50 warehouses of various types that have not yet been completed. Only after the construction of the warehouse is completed, all kinds of materials will be put into storage immediately.

When the general set out on the expedition, Hanzhong had a population of more than 300,000. In addition, the general sent back more than 100,000 prisoners, and the residents of Hanzhong multiplied. At present, the population of Hanzhong County should be more than 470,000.

Other......

……”

Jia Xu said a few thousand words freely, basically expounding the development of Hanzhong County in the past nine months. To sum it up, Hanzhong County is now developing at a rapid pace.

Cao De nodded after listening to Jia Xu. He asked: "Now that the fields of the people of Hanzhong can be divided, is it reasonable?" ”

After Cao De asked, Zhang Lu, who was in charge of dividing the field, immediately walked out, "General Qiyu." At present, every household in Hanzhong is allocated land according to the head. There is nothing unreasonable. ”

Cao De nodded again and said to Lu Gu: "Everything is incomplete. Don't say it so absolutely. The matter will be discussed later, and you will step back first. ”

Lu Gu clenched his fists and said that he retreated to his position. Then Cao De asked, "During my absence." Is there any change in the old men of the various families in Hanzhong? ”

Jia Xu stood up again, clenched his fists and said, "Back to the general's words." There was no change in the clans. Moreover, some scholars once took the initiative to ask the general about the expedition, and took the initiative to offer the materials needed by the army. The humble office unceremoniously took it all and returned it to the warehouse. ”

Cao De sneered after hearing this, "Do you care about me, or do you want me to die in battle as soon as possible." Okay, let's not talk about these scum who criticize hypocrisy. ”

Cao De paused and continued: "Previously, I Hanzhong had always been short of talents to manage internal affairs, and all the burdens were on Wen He alone. Wenhe, suffered! ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said politely: "It is a blessing for subordinates to be able to share the worries of the general with their meager strength." ”

Cao De waved his hand and said, "Wen He doesn't have to be humble. Your deeds are obvious to all. Now that I have Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo and Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi joining in Hanzhong, it is a charcoal in the snow. After much deliberation, I want to make adjustments to the internal affairs. In order to allow all talented people to display their strengths and feet for the benefit of the people. ”

After Cao De finished speaking, everyone got up and bowed to Cao De and clenched his fists and said, "Listen to the general's orders!" ”

"Good!" Cao De patted the table in front of him lightly, and continued: "Now, let Jia Xu Jia Wenhe be the county prince. In charge of the affairs of the county. Wenhe, it looks like you're going to have to work hard for a while. ”

Jia Xu stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you for your trust." The subordinates will live up to the general's trust. ”

Cao De nodded, and then said: "Ling, Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, is the main book." The county's large and small government affairs are all handled by Wen Ruo. ”

Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "How can his subordinates be able to do it, but they are up to the task." I hope the general will think twice. ”

Xun Yu is a newcomer to many of you after all. A newcomer, Cao De, was directly appointed as the chief secretary. In charge of the affairs of a county. It's a step to the top.

After Cao De heard Xun Yu's words, he said: "If Wen Ruo has a lot of talent, don't I know!" Wen Ruo, I believe that you will keep Hanzhong County in order. Thou shalt let it go, and thou shalt not be taboo. Remember, there is the General's Mansion behind you. ”

Cao De's words are to tell Xun Yu, let it go, don't be afraid, if someone disagrees, you will show me Cao De's tricks, and see if anyone is still convincing you.

Since Cao De's words are all said to be on this part, it would be so bad for Xun Yu to postpone it again. Xun Yu received the order and retreated.

Then, Cao De continued: "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi. ”

When Xu Shu heard that it was his turn, he also hurriedly stood up.

"Yuan Zhi has been fighting in the south and north with me since he was in Duncheng. There are many good strategies to help our army defeat the enemy. Now, Xu Shu is ordered to join the army. Specially for me. ”

"Nuo, Yuan Zhi commands!" Xu Shu was also free and easy, and directly received the order. Yes, Xu Shu's achievements are obvious to all. People do have that ability.

Cao De nodded and continued: "Lu Gu, Zhang Lu. ”

When Lu Gu and Zhang Lu heard that they still had their own share, they were immediately a little happy and hurriedly stood up.

"The two of you were originally cloth clothes, and you entered my general's mansion through the Naxian Pavilion. During your tenure, it is not easy for you two to do your best. Lugu, as his name suggests, is conscientious and meticulous, which is indeed rare. Now, Ling Lugu is the main secretary and remembers things in the house. Zhang Lu, during his tenure, his eyes were like torches, and he had many unique features. Now, I want Zhang Lu to sacrifice wine for his teachers and friends, and I want to select more materials that can be made for my general's mansion. ”

When the two of them heard this, they were happy in their hearts and hurriedly said yes. Take the order. Although the two of them have always been Cao De's people and are also doing things in front of Cao De, the tasks of the two are varied, and they have any work to do. Now that Cao De's appointment has come down, the work of the two is stable. The official position was also determined.

Afterwards, Cao De said to Zhang Lu: "Zhang Lu, I will talk to you in detail about the matter of the Naxian Pavilion later." You two stand down first! ”

Now that the officials of the internal affairs department have been sealed, it is the turn of the generals. Cao De slowed down and said: "I led the army to fight abroad for more than nine months, and all the soldiers killed the enemy with their hearts. The hard work is very high, and the achievements are quite rich. As early as the time of Jibei City, although I had already appointed many generals. But after I arrived in Luoyang, I found that those military positions were all vain, and they were in vain. No, I have made the following adjustments for this reason. ”

When the generals heard this, it was really their turn, and they were suddenly in high spirits.

Cao De glanced at everyone's reactions and continued: "Before that. I want to make adjustments to the army. There are nearly 60,000 troops in my Han. Now these 60,000 people are selected and 50,000 are divided into five battalions, each with 10,000 men. The five battalions are the Ruijin Battalion, the Giant Wood Battalion, the Flood Battalion, the Fire Battalion and the Thick Earth Battalion. "Cao De has moved out the children of the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner, who are well-known in later generations. Could it be that Cao De can't be the leader of the Ming Sect!

The five elements are no stranger to everyone present. But Cao De, who used the five elements as the title of the army, can be said to be the first.

Cao De looked at the people who were talking and knocked lightly on the table. Suddenly, there was silence in the entire front hall. "These five battalions are the elite of my Hanzhong. Since then, the number of soldiers in these five battalions has not increased. A model for our army. Another 3,000 men of the Heavy Hammer Battalion could not move. The Hammer Battalion is where the flag of our army is located. I want to distribute the soldiers of the Heavy Hammer Battalion to the generals as their own soldiers, and to protect the generals' thoroughness. In the end, I want to select 30,000 of the 100,000 Yellow Turban captives to be incorporated into the Hanzhong army. With the remaining 10,000 soldiers, form the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion. 20,000 men per battalion. ”

The message given by Cao De in the last few sentences is to expand the army. Everyone present except Jia Xu showed an incredible expression. Obviously, the Yellow Turban Army has been exterminated, and the world is going to be peaceful. Why did Cao De expand his army? Cao De did not explain and directly began to move on to the next step. "Now, make adjustments to your generals."

"Ling, Cao Ren is the rebel general, and Zhang Fei is the general of the prisoner. The two of you are in charge of the Five Elements Battalion. Cao Ren is the main general, and Zhang Fei is the deputy general. ”

When Cao Ren and Zhang Fei heard Cao De say his name, he stepped forward. After Cao De finished speaking, he bowed down and said, "Command!" ’

"Ling, Zhou Cang is the captain of Yokono, and Pei Yuanshao is the captain of the middle guard. The two of you are in charge of the Blade Camp and the Sword Battalion! ”

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao also stepped forward to receive the order.

Don't look at the soldiers of the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion, which are similar to the Five Elements Battalion. But Cao Ren and Zhang Fei are elite. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led the recruits. Zhou Cang has been following Cao De in the southern expedition to the north and has been wounded many times. The heaviest of them was outside Wancheng. was slashed five or six times on his body, and it was a miracle that Zhou Cang didn't die. And Pei Yuanshao has been guarding Dengcheng for Cao Dezhen since Cao De led the army to Yingchuan, and he has never made a mistake. Pei Yuanshao's merits are not small, and he deserves this honor.

In the end, only Zhao Yun remained. Just when Zhao Yun was waiting quietly, Cao De clicked on Zhao Yun's name. "Zhao Yun, make you the captain of Huwei. Commander Cavalry Battalion. Now I have nearly 3,000 military horses in Hanzhong. It's all my treasure. Ordered Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong to form cavalry and train cavalry. Build an iron hoof team for my Hanzhong. If Zilong doesn't understand something, he can ask Zixiao for advice. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, his sworn brother really took care of himself. But I really don't have any experience. So Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "General, ...... of humble duties."

As soon as Cao De saw Zhao Yun speak, he waited until Zhao Yun wanted to say something, so he hurriedly said: "Zilong, I believe you can do it, what do you think?" ”

Cao De's rhetorical question made Zhao Yun a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yun said firmly: "Zilong will definitely live up to the general's trust." ”

Cao De smiled, "Good, good, good." ”

In the end, Cao De said: "Now there are only wonderful talents." Lugu, write it down. Xiahou Yuan was made the general of Zhenwu. At present, he is responsible for selecting soldiers from among the prisoners and then training. After forming an army, it was handed over to the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion. ”

Lu Gu Banban wrote it down and then retreated.

Cao De's official position was basically sealed. Cao De glanced at the reactions of everyone in the hall. He got up and said: "The reorganization of the army is not a trivial matter. Today, Xu Shu is specially appointed as a military general. The reorganization of our Hanzhong army was handed over to Yuan Zhi. ”

After Xu Shu heard what Cao De said, he hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bowed down to say 'Promise. Then, Cao De said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, this time I have to work hard again." ”

Then, Cao De didn't wait for Xu Shu to answer, and continued: "Today's matter is over, and we will discuss it in detail tomorrow." Let's all go back and rest. ”

Now that Cao De gave the rest order, everyone bowed down and hugged their fists. "Retire from your duties."

Cao De watched as everyone slowly walked out of the hall door. With a slight grin, the first mobilization meeting ended after the year. The second conference starts tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
