Chapter 105: Forming a Water Army
At this time, in Yuan Shu's big tent, Yuan Shu held the battle report in his hand, his heart was dripping blood, not only killed three generals in the first battle, but also lost more than 3,000 soldiers, and almost all the generals were injured, which was a big blow to the momentum of Yuan Jun.
Yuan Shu was furious and said: "Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on, why did Cao Cao leave Chen Liu, and Chen Liu will still have so many guards?" ”
Yuan Shu Chang Shi Yang Hong explained: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, according to reliable sources, Cao Cao did leave Chen Liu, and Chen Liu's guards were not Cao Cao's men, but his righteous brother Wang Sen's generals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What, you mean Wang Sen's general? How is this possible? How could he have so many talented people under him, and how could these generals be able to substitute for the soldiers? ”
Yang Hong smiled bitterly, "My lord, don't you know, the current Wang Sen is not the same Wang Sen who was locked in the Tiger Prison before!" ”
"After Cao Cao rescued Emperor Xian, he rewarded those who made meritorious contributions, and this Wang Sen was also named Dasi Nong and Guangluxun, and Wang Sen also became a staff member of the princess's mansion, and he also recommended his own general, so he has the current situation."
"How long ago was this? Why haven't I heard about such an important thing? ”
Yang Hong smiled bitterly, "My lord, when Princess Liu Ming opened the princess's mansion, I mentioned this matter to you, but you said that now that the royal family is swept away, you don't need to pay attention to the royal affairs, as long as you pay attention to Cao Cao, so this matter is shelved." ”
At this time, Yuan Shu was also embarrassed, and sighed at the same time, "I blame me for this, I didn't expect a cook to be able to mix to such an extent, it seems that I underestimated Wang Sen before." ”
"By the way, Yang Hong, do you think it is possible for us to recover Wang Sen? You must know that Wang Sen's cooking skills are famous all over the world, and this person's ability is not bad, I still remember when he was in the Tiger Prison, when he made a bet with my eldest brother Yuan Shao, every bet must win, and now in retrospect, he is definitely a talented person. ”
Yang Hong didn't think about it and replied directly: "My lord, don't even think about this matter, Wang Sen and Cao Cao are righteous brothers, and their relationship is extremely deep, it can be seen from the matter of Chen Liu this time that Cao Cao basically took all the soldiers and horses on his behalf, and handed over Chen Liu and Emperor Xian to Wang Sen, what a great trust this is." ”
"And now that Wang Sen has become a staff member of the princess's mansion, his future is extremely bright, so my lord still dispelled this thought!"
Yuan Shu shook his head impatiently, so he had to dispel this idea and get back to the point.
"Yang Hong, according to the current situation of our army, what are we going to do next?"
"My lord, this time we also received a letter from Lord Yuan Shao, secretly working together to fight Cao, although we suffered losses along the way, it does not mean that other aspects have also failed, as long as we wait secretly, as soon as there is news from other aspects, we secretly cooperate, there is still a chance to move back to a game."
Yuan Shu nodded, now he has to wait...
In the next few days, news also came from all over the country, first of all, the Qingzhou generation, Cao Cao suppressed the remnants of the Yellow Turbans on behalf of the soldiers, and wherever they passed, the Yellow Turban Army surrendered without a fight, and Cao Cao gained a lot of young and strong labor.
Then Nanyang Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu also fought for a few days, and suddenly the two stopped fighting, which made everyone very curious.
Then Lu Budai disappeared into the eyes of all the people, and a few days later, he appeared in Xuzhou and began to attack Tao Qian, which surprised everyone, and couldn't understand what was going on?
And Jizhou Yuan Shao was not having a good time, I don't know what was going on, Zhang Yang, who had always been timid, actually took the initiative to send troops from Hanoi to attack Yuan Shao's back road, which made Yuan Shao unable to care about each other, withdrew the soldiers and horses that attacked Gongsun Zhan, and began to take the initiative to defend.
After Yuan Shu knew, he was a little stunned, he didn't expect things to be like this, just when he wanted to leave the book Yuan Shao to ask what was going on,
News came from Yangzhou that Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Jian of Jiangnan had sent troops to attack Runan and Lujiang respectively.
Yuan Shu panicked a little, ignored Tao Qian's call for help, and made a detour back to Yangzhou.
In this way, Yuan Shao's strategy of secretly encircling and suppressing Cao Cao this time failed.
………………
And Cao Cao also returned to Chenliu as soon as possible, and Wang Sen also went out to greet him on behalf of his family.
"Big brother, congratulations, this time we have won Qingzhou, and the territory has expanded to Yan and Qingzhou, now we finally have a foundation!"
Cao Cao was also very happy at this time, and laughed and said: "Brother Sen, this is thanks to you, if you hadn't cracked Yuan Shao's conspiracy, how could I have a chance to recover Qingzhou." ”
"Big brother, don't say that, isn't your business my business? Let's not stand outside the city, the princess and Emperor Xian have been waiting for you for a long time, let's go to the court and talk about it. ”
Cao Cao nodded, and entered Chen Liu's house side by side with Wang Sen, and came to the court at the same time.
After Cao Cao saw Emperor Xian, he immediately knelt down and said: "The hussar general, the great Honglu Cao Cao has seen the emperor. ”
Emperor Xian immediately waved his hand and said: "Cao Aiqing, please get up, I have heard about you, you recovered Qingzhou so quickly, you did a good job, Cao Aiqing is really capable!" ”
"The emperor has said that this is what the lower officials should do..."
"Cao Aiqing, don't be modest, I understand your ability, I will hand over Yan and Qing Prefectures to Lord Cao to take care of, and I hope Cao Aiqing will make persistent efforts to govern the two places well."
In this way, the emperor was rewarded....
"Cao Cao listened to the seal, in addition to serving as the general of the hussars and the great Honglu, he also served as the pastor of the two states of Qingyan and supervised the construction of the two states."
Cao Cao was very happy in his heart, "Thank you for the emperor's reward, the lower officials will do their best." ”
"Okay, Cao Aiqing, now that you have served as the Qingzhou pastor, how do you want to govern next?"
"Back to the emperor, Qingzhou has been chaotic in recent years, the land boundary is basically unharvested, and commerce is also in a state of paralysis, I hope the princess's mansion will cooperate with me to let Qingzhou settle down as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Emperor Xian immediately looked at his princess Liu Ming and asked him what he meant....
"Auntie, now Cao Aiqing asks you to cooperate, is it okay?"
At this time, Liu Ming was a little embarrassed, you must know that this time Cao Cao used troops in Qingzhou, he used a lot of grain and grass, and he also came back with a large number of troops, this is another amount of grain and grass, plus Yuan Shu to attack Chen Liu, Wang Sen used a lot of grain and grass, and now the grain and grass in the hands of the princess's mansion are really a little urgent.
If it is used for refugees and tuntian in Qingzhou, it will really not be enough, and Liu Ming will also be embarrassed at this time.
"Lord Cao, my princess's mansion also wants to help with this matter, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, but the grain and grass on hand are really not enough, if this continues, once there is something in Yanzhou, we will not be able to respond at all."
As soon as Liu Ming's words were finished, Cao Cao was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this, and the court was also embarrassed, and everyone didn't know what to do.
At this time, Wang Sen stepped forward and came out and said: "Princess, emperor, brother Cao, these things are not difficult, I have a plan, I can solve it, but I need the emperor's cooperation!" ”
"Oh, Wang Aiqing has something to say, as long as the grain and grass problem can be solved, I will definitely promise you."
"Well, the emperor, I'll say it directly, although it seems that Tuntian has all kinds of harm and no benefit, but this is not absolute."
"We can first follow Lord Cao's idea to put Tian Xiantun, as for the relief of refugees, then we don't need to use grain and grass, there is a way to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, Qingzhou is close to the sea, we will eat the sea to feed the refugees?" Wang Sen thought.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea, but they don't have a water army at all, how is this good?
Cao Cao also mentioned it at the first time, "Wang Sen, although your idea is very good, it is really difficult to implement, we don't have a water army in our hands, what should we do?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Sen laughed, "Big brother, have you forgotten?" How did I come back from Jingzhou! My subordinates Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin know this aspect very well, but they have never had the opportunity to show it, and these brothers under him have also become subordinates of my house. ”
"As long as the emperor leads it, I will let them form a naval army to serve the people of Qingzhou, isn't it great?"
Only then did everyone react, Wang Sen's idea was really good, with the water army, the problem of grain and grass in Qingzhou would be solved, and at the same time, with water transportation, Qingzhou would also develop very quickly, Cao Cao was very much in favor.
Emperor Xian and Liu Ming also understood the truth and applauded unanimously!
The three of them glanced at each other, nodded, and Emperor Xian finally agreed.
"Okay, Wang Sen's matter will be handed over to you, and at the same time, Gan Ning will be appointed as the commander of the navy, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin will be the deputy commanders of the navy, assisting Gan Ning, and the soldiers under him will also be recruited by the three of them."
Wang Sen immediately thanked the emperor on behalf of the three of them, and in this way, Wang Sen's naval army was officially established!
…………..
After retiring from the dynasty, Wang Sen returned to the house as soon as possible and told his generals about it.
Everyone also immediately rejoiced, and Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also immediately bowed down and thanked Wang Sen for his support.
Wang Sen stepped forward to help the three of them up and instructed the three of them that although the main task now is to provide rations for the refugees in Qingzhou, after a long time and Qingzhou recovers, they will be able to become a real water army.
The three of them also understood this truth and said that they would do their duty.
Wang Sen was relieved at this time, and at the same time informed Zhang Hu to draw out all the talents they had reserved in various industries and prepare to follow him to Qingzhou for development.
Only then did everyone react, knowing that Wang Sen was going to leave Chen to stay in Qingzhou, and everyone was also excited, because everyone knew that there was a lot of money to be made this time!
"My lord, go to Qingzhou this time and replace me, it doesn't matter what you do with confidence!"
"Yes, my lord, you can replace us, I haven't been out to play for a long time, and this time I will be counted as one."
…………
Seeing everyone's positive appearance, Wang Sen stretched out his hand to stop everyone from continuing.
"Don't worry, with such a profitable business, how can I not replace everyone, but I want to leave one person to watch the house, you all watch it!"
After Wang Sen's words were finished, he no longer paid attention to everyone and left the meeting room directly....
After seeing Wang Sen leave, everyone was stunned, and everyone looked at Huang Zhong, hoping that he could come up with a good decision.
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we draw lots, and then he prepared a few branches, and drew the shortest one, that is, the people who stayed at home." ”
Everyone also tried their luck at the first time, but in the end, Zhou Cang drew the shortest one, and everyone also stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Zhou, although you stay at home to take care of the house, we can't forget your share, and after we all make money, we will give you a part." ”
"Yes, Zhou Cang, you can take care of your home with peace of mind, and when you come back, we will tell you everything we see and hear."
…………
Zhou Cang had no choice but to smile wryly and nodded, and in this way, after everyone arranged everything, they all went back to the room to pack up their things...
It wasn't until dinner time that everyone got together, and at the same time, Wang Sen also appeared in front of everyone on behalf of Cai Yan.
"Well, have you all decided, who is staying at home?" Wang Sen asked as soon as he came up.
"My lord, we have already thought about it, Zhou Cang will stay in the mansion on behalf of all of us, and we have also explained everything that should be done clearly, I believe there will be no problems." Huang Zhong replied on the side.
This is Cai Yanxun beside Wang Sen and asked: "Wang Sen, you handed over the mansion to Zhou Cang, what are you going to do, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Wang Sen put down the chopsticks in his hand and laughed, "Yan'er, I originally wanted to surprise you, but now that you already know, then I'll tell you the truth." ”
"Didn't Brother Cao take Qingzhou? Originally, I was asked to go there to build, but now this season is the fattest time for hairy crabs, so I want to take you with me, and when it's okay, let's try seafood and go to the sea to see, isn't it great? ”
Cai Yan immediately became happy, "Wang Sen, are you serious, are you going to take me with you too?" ”
"Of course, after you and I came to Chenliu, we didn't go out to have a good time, so it's better to treat it as a tour this time, and we will go to Beihai to work and play!"
Cai Yan smiled happily and nodded in agreement.
Hearing that they went to sea and ate seafood again, others also looked forward to life in Beihai, and at the same time, everyone discussed the next work while eating....
At this time, the subordinates of the mansion came to inform that Lord Cao had come to the mansion.
Wang Sen was a little confused at first, since opening Cao's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion, Cao Cao rarely came to Wang Sen's mansion, firstly, to avoid others from gossiping, and secondly, Cao Cao was too busy with work to have time, but what happened today, his eldest brother actually took the initiative to come?
Wang Sen immediately got up and came to the outside of the mansion to greet him,
"Big brother, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"
Cao Cao laughed out loud and said half-jokingly: "Why, it seems that Brother Sen doesn't seem to be very happy, then I'll go back." After saying that Cao Cao pretended to leave, Wang Sen immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cao's hand and said, "Big brother, don't make fun of me, you come to my house, how can I be unhappy, it just so happens that we are eating, why don't we eat together?" ”
"Well, it's been a long time since I've tasted Zhang Hu's craftsmanship, let's see what delicious you made today?"
