Cao Pi continued to set off three days after seeing a few envoys and Jia Ji, and now there was one more Jia Ji in Cao Pi's team, and Cao Zhang's team had more than a dozen knights, more than thirty horses, and more than thirty men. γγ
Cao Zhen saw it in his eyes and shook his head: "Such a recruitment method, even if you recruit all the big clans in Youzhou Prefecture and County, I'm afraid it will be less than five hundred, because these people in the army are either concubines in the big clans, or illiterate people, and they are not taken seriously. Those who can come must be from a wealthy family, so they are willing to spend so much on their concubines. β
At this time, Cao Pi and Cao Zhen rode side by side, the tiger and leopard rode in front to open the way, Niu Jin fell more than ten steps back, followed by Zhen's, Shu'er, Xin Xianying's frame, Lu Lingqi rode a horse and walked next to the frame, and then behind was Cao Zhang and his newly recruited sergeant, followed by Zhang Liao's supplementary troops, and then in the rear was the grain transport man carried by Yu Ban. Cao Zhen didn't speak loudly, and the sound of tigers and leopards riding hooves in front of him rumbled, and the sound of the rear frame walking was not small, plus the marching footsteps of more than 10,000 people behind and the sound of the wind blowing flags, Cao Zhen's words were only heard by Cao Pi, who was closest to him.
"The home of the super-rich! Isn't this exactly what my brother and Sima Lang mean? There are so many counties and counties in Youzhou, and there are so many local wealthy families, when will it take to complete the wooing one by one? Wouldn't it be very convenient to win over the families of the super-rich, and then suppress the small wealthy families under the super-rich. Cao Pi said with a smile.
"How do you get together the number of two thousand cavalry?" Cao Zhenqi said.
"There are 2,000 cavalry under Xian Yufu's command, and there are 2,000 cavalry under Yan Rou's command, and there are less than 2,000 people to choose from the elite?" Cao Pi rode forward and replied nonchalantly.
"Isn't that for someone from my brother? This Youzhou soldier is my brother, this Youzhou pastor! Cao Zhen said in surprise.
"Well, having said that, but my father's edict is clearly written, to give Ziwen two thousand cavalry, since he can't recruit him, my brother naturally wants to share the profit with him." Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Hey! Four thousand cavalry, three to one, then you have to pick more than 1,000 people to go, and they are all elite, the remaining cavalry must be far inferior to Ziwen's 2,000 people, can my brother go to Youbeiping to take the lead and pick out a thousand relatively old and weak cavalry to Ziwen? Cao Zhen asked.
"Brother Zidanxian! For my brother today I want to teach you a good job, in the outside of the town to pacify the local affairs, it is impossible to show the act of supporting the army, this Youzhou's surrender is my Youzhou pastor, but he is also common, is the court, is the Son of Heaven, on the contrary, the same is true of Ziwen's cavalry, whose soldiers are fine, whose soldiers are weak, aren't they all a master? If such a calculation reaches the ears of others, it will become a self-respect for the army, and there are many civil servants in our army. Cao Pi felt that the young Cao Zhen was still a little naΓ―ve, so he educated him seriously.
Cao Zhen said as if he didn't understand: "So.......... Brother thinks that Sima Lang will correspond with his father? Tell your brother what's going on? β
Cao Pi said with a smile: "Not only that, if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, it will be dark, maybe General Wenyuan, General Wen Ze, and even Brother Wenlie will communicate with my father, that is, I and Ziwen can't write to my father, but I am the commander, and I can go to the Sikong Mansion or the imperial court, but Ziwen must not be able to communicate." β
Cao Zhen stuck out his tongue and said, "It seems that this should be the case, such a general's law!" It's amazing. β
Cao Pi smiled: "There is still something you have to learn." β
At this time, their army has entered Yuyang County, this Yuyang County is Xian Yufu's territory, when he was under Liu Yu's command, he was originally engaged, and later Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan were killed after a battle, he united his own brothers, and under Liu Yu's command as a cavalry captain Xian Yuyin, Liu Yu's son Liu He, Wuhuan Cliff King, Yuan Shao's fierce general Lu Yi and Wu Huan's captain Yan Rou fought back, plus Yuan Shao's help, and finally Gongsun Chan was defeated, as a child of the Yuyang County clan, Xian Yufu was promoted by the people of Yuyang to be too guarded, Later, the battle of Guandu broke out, and Xian Yufu stood strongly with Cao Cao, and was awarded the title of General Jianzhong, and the governor of the six counties of Youzhou.
Now because of the rebellion of Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, the generals under Yuan Xi, Xian Yufu led the army to Youbeiping to stabilize the situation, but in Cao Pi's opinion, he should have rushed to the scene of the incident to make an appearance, saying that he was also at the scene, and he was just taking credit.
Xian Yufu is gone, Yuyang is in charge of his brother Xian Yuyin, as for Xian Yufu's military advisor Tian Yu should also be with the army in Youbeiping now.
Guangyang County and Yuyang County handed over a big city is Lucheng (County), said to be a big city, but the city wall is three meters high, this kind of city wall can be said to be a blow to the elite soldiers, there is nothing to guard, generally can be based on the city and the height of the city wall should be at least five meters or more, for example, the height of the city wall of Xiapi City is close to seven meters, Cao Cao did not choose to attack, but came to a flood.
A city wall like Lucheng can at most defend against thieves, and it can also block the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people who enter the pass to rob. When Cao Pi's army came here, a general wearing Mingguang armor led dozens of light cavalry and a dozen or so richly dressed people to greet him at the city gate, according to the previous scout report, this Mingguang armor general is Xian Yuyin, behind him is his own soldiers, as for the dozen or so people are the big families of Lucheng.
Xian Yuyin looks not young, should be close to forty, single eyelids, thin lips, square face, thin eyes, tall and strong, it looks like he is really a little different from the Central Plains, this person is now riding into Lucheng with Cao Pi, and said with a smile: "Zhijinwu has worked hard all the way, and the last general has prepared a banquet to catch the wind for Zhijinwu." β
Cao Pi said indifferently: "There is also General Lao in the measurement hall to be seated, and there are female dependents in the army." β
Xian Yuyin hurriedly agreed, and then glanced at a man in a gorgeous suit who followed him step by step, the man understood, and immediately ran to the side of the road, said a few words to a man in sackcloth, and the man hurriedly ran away. Cao Pi saw all these in his eyes, and suddenly said in his heart: "The two Xianyu generals are in Yuyang, I don't know how much grain is still in stock?" β
Xian Yuyin was stunned when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Since the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, Yuyang has been under the rule of my brother, although he does not starve to death, but he is also hard to support, fortunately, there are many birds and beasts in the land of Yuyang, hunting and eating, but he can also live." If there is any store, there is none. β
Cao Pi smiled and said, "In the final analysis, this grain and grass is a big problem after all." (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
