Chapter 484: What Zhang Baozhi Thinks
Tiger Prison Pass, the big camp of the coalition army, the big tent of Yuan Shao's Chinese army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bearded man Xiahoudun and Cao Ren held sharp steel guns, guarding outside the tent like a fierce and vicious door god, the lights in the tent were dim, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was difficult to breathe, Cao Cao sat opposite Yuan Shao with a gloomy face, and there was a parchment scroll on the table, but it was Zhang Bao's reply.
Yuan Shao's face was hideous and terrifying, and he said sharply: "Zhang Bao's thief is hateful, and he actually took the opportunity to blackmail us to provide him with millions of stones, grain and grass, and the erection is not enough and conspiracy!" ”
"The original anger is gone!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Zhang Bao has already said that the Yellow Turban Army does not have much food and grass, and if he wants to send troops to merge with the state, I will wait to say that the grain and grass should also be, otherwise, with his insidious character, if he joins forces with Dong Thief, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to wait!" ”
Yuan Shao was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "Meng De, are you crazy? Millions of stone grains and grass are enough for a million military for ten years! How could it be for him! ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Cao Cao's small eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Cao's intention is to give him food and grass, but it is not a million stones." Zhang Baozhi is afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink! ”
"Huh!?" Yuan Shao said in a condensed voice, "What does Meng De mean?" ”
Cao Cao said coldly: "At the beginning, let me ask you, do we give or not give a million stones of grain?" ”
"How is it possible to give?" Yuan Shao said sharply, "Don't say that there are no millions of stone grain and grass, even if there is, the leader of this alliance would rather not form an alliance with him, and it is impossible to take out a million stone grain and grass!" Otherwise, how can the leader of this alliance explain to the princes of the world? ”
"That's right." Cao Cao bowed his head lightly and said, "That Zhang Bao must also know how precious a million stone grains and grass are, how can we give it to him?" And gas knows that it can't do it, why does it make this request? ”
"Hmph~" Yuan Shao said coldly, "The heart of a thief is changeable, how can the leader of this alliance know?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look of disappointment, shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Bao knew that we would not agree, but he made this request, just to have room for bargaining. Zhang Bao occupied Youzhou, and coerced a large number of people to enrich Youzhou, and now there is a threat to pacify the north, which can be described as a soldier with enough food. However, it has a fatal weakness! ”
"Achilles' heel?" Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Identity, an identity that can be recognized by the world's scholars!" ”
"Not bad!" Cao Cao said loudly, "It's identity." Although Zhang Bao has enough soldiers and food in Youzhou, and the generals are brave, it is feasible to fight, but it is not possible to govern the people's livelihood. If you want to govern the people's livelihood, only literati can be governed, and Zhang Bao just lacks people with good governance. Those who want to accept good government must first correct their status. In this way, Zhang Baozhi's request is obvious! ”
Yes, Cao Cao's analysis is indeed correct. What Zhang Bao is looking for is indeed an identity, an identity recognized by a literati. In this era, military generals may defect to Zhang Bao to ask for a future, but literati who are familiar with the history of governing the world will definitely not defect to Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban Army.
Even if the four major military divisions under Zhang Bao's command, except for Zhang Lie who defected in desperation, of course, it can be said that he was coerced by Guo Tu to join, and the rest of the people were Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others, and Zhang Bao used a steel knife to coerce them to be tied to the chariot of the Yellow Turban. However, how big Youzhou is, it will not take long for Zhang Bao to cultivate the family by himself, and the most important thing is that with the expansion of the Yellow Turban Army, the land under his rule is becoming more and more extensive, and it is not a way to suppress it by force after all~
So Zhang Bao wants an identity, a legitimate identity, as long as there is a family to defect, and so that the people under Zhang Bao can everyone study, with a selection system, even if there is no identity, there is nothing to fear, but now the transition period is not good, although the transition period, but I don't know how long it will take, so Zhang Bao needs to think about him, and Cao Cao's letter of alliance gave Zhang Bao a chance!
Cao Cao said this, and then said: "In this way, I can send someone to send ten carts of grain rice to pay Zhang Bao for sending troops!" ”
"Ten carts of grain and rice for military rations?" Yuan Shao was stunned and said, "Meng De, this is too little, right?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes showed a cunning look and smiled: "It's a lot, just do it at the beginning!" ”
"Okay, good~" Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, according to Mengde's words!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Youzhou, a suburb of Jixian County.
Zhang Bao's only Karasuma cavalry was stationed here, but because he followed Zhang Bao to fight all day long, there were now only 8,000 men and horses left, and there were also 1,000 Yellow Turban Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry. At the beginning, Zhang Bao wanted 3,000 cavalry to attack the Central Plains, but now that he has decided to temporarily ally with Cao Cao, 3,000 soldiers and horses are a little less. After Zhang Lie's calculations, the current number of economic support is at most 9,000 cavalry, although there is a slight gap with 10,000 in Zhang Bao's heart, but it is not a big problem.
Nine thousand soldiers have been lined up in a neat phalanx under the platform, Zhang Bao appeared on the platform surrounded by Xu Chu, Dian Wei, He Man, and Yu She, and all the soldiers focused their eyes on the platform.
With the change of the situation, the beast style that Zhang Bao has been advocating is no longer suitable for the Yellow Turban Army, because now the purpose of the Yellow Turban Army is no longer to plunder and survive, but to expand the territory, and in order to adapt to this change, the Yellow Turban Army is undergoing an unprecedented change.
Under Zhang Bao's instructions, the Yellow Turban Army after the reform must become as strict as the Qin Army, but as long as you bravely kill the enemy, you can get promotions and corresponding rewards by virtue of your military exploits, and use this strict reward system to stimulate the Yellow Turban Army's enthusiasm for war, so as to gather into a strong will to fight.
Here is the most powerful thing about this military revolution!
From then on, the army did not have to rely on Zhang Bao's personal charm and hollow out to say some inflammatory remarks for pre-war mobilization, and there was no need to use women, massacres and crazy looting to stimulate the desire of the soldiers.
Yu Shi held the bamboo slip in his hand, walked quickly to the point platform, and then slowly unfolded the bamboo slip, and suddenly, Yu She's suppressed voice resounded throughout the school.
"The cowardly and cowardly who retreat from the battle - slash!"
"Those who do not obey military orders, do not advance when they hear the drums, and do not retreat when they hear the gold - behead!"
"Those who embezzle and seize, wantonly plunder, and trample on the crops - behead!"
"Kill the people's heads and risk leading the army's merit - behead!"
After Yu She's last word was finished, there was an uproar in the audience.
Compared with the previous Yellow Turban military regulations, (do not abandon, do not give up, the robe is forbidden to draw swords at each other, *** Han women's iron law) The re-announced military regulations this time can be described as much stricter, especially the two items of embezzlement and seizure and trampling on crops are unacceptable, in the past, Zhang Bao was resigned, and now he is suddenly not allowed to do it, and the cavalry formed by these barbarian peoples naturally have opinions.
