The two were talking and laughing in front, and suddenly the horse's hooves were ringing in the back, and someone rushed up, Zhang Wei was afraid that he would miss his mouth, so he hurriedly said to Cao Ang: "Oh, eldest son, the villain has retired!" As he spoke, he stopped his mount and waited for Xiao Ming and the others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The person who came up was not someone else, it was Cheng Yu, he pretended to arch his hand to Cao Ang, and then asked in a low voice: "Eldest son, how can you change your strategy privately?" Wasn't it supposed to dismiss these thieves and return to their hometowns to farm? How did you take them in? ”

Cao Ang said with an innocent face: "Sir, I am really to blame for this, I have been acting according to the plan from beginning to end, but the acting is true, these thieves are convinced of my mortal identity, and threaten to submit to me, how can I dismiss them immediately?" Wouldn't it be easy for people to see through this? That's why I took advantage of the trend and was forced by the situation! He sighed as he spoke.

Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't speak, with a thoughtful expression, he knew that it was difficult to deceive him, so he hurriedly said: "What's more, my father has few soldiers, and there are only thousands of soldiers, and he will definitely take over the post of Yanzhou pastor in the future, and Yanzhou has Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou in the south, Xuzhou and Yuzhou in the south, and Li Daoguo in the west, which is actually a place of four wars, if there is no army in charge, how can you hold the fundamentals?" ”

Cheng Yu was a little relieved, if it seems a little incredible that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child wants to support the army and respect himself, but if it is said that he wants to help his father achieve great things, then everything makes sense, Cheng Yu patted Cao Ang's back lightly, shook his head and said: "Eldest son, eldest son, let the old man say what is good about you?" You are worried about your father in your heart, and you want to share his worries, this matter is indeed understandable, but do you know that in this way, you have fallen into the situation of General Cao Cao and the tiger rider! ”

Cao Angqi said: "With hundreds of thousands of troops, you should be happy, looking at the Central Plains, which prince has such strength?" Why did my husband say that I was trapped in my father's situation of riding a tiger? ”

Cheng Yu said slowly: "It is precisely because you are right that General Cao Cao will never give up this army easily. But have you ever thought that when General Cao first served as the pastor of Yanzhou, the wealthy people in the counties and counties under his command were unstable, and now most of them have been looted by the Yellow Turban thieves, and General Cao, as the state pastor, has taken all the thieves under his command, what will those Hao families who have a blood feud with the Yellow Turban thieves think? ”

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, indeed, he only thought of commanding the army to attack the city, but he never thought about how to govern one side and stabilize the situation.

"And that's just one of them!" Cheng Yu continued: "Putting aside whether the Yellow Turban Army is good at fighting or not for the time being, the supply of food and grass for these hundreds of thousands of people alone is a big problem! The grain in the hands of these Yellow Turban thieves was all looted from the treasury of each county, and even so, it was still difficult to last, if General Cao Cao accepted this army, how would he supply military food in the future? If the military rations are insufficient, it is inevitable that there will be another disaster, which will not only rekindle the flames of war, but also damage the prestige of the governor! That's the second one! ”

"Third, the Yellow Turban thieves dragged their families to bring their families, there are millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of troops must be accommodated, so they must settle more family members, although some land in Yanzhou has not been cultivated, but farming is not an overnight thing, you have to wait until the crops are ripe before harvesting, and who will feed them during this period? Forgive the old man's words, the eldest son added a million mouths to General Cao! ”

Cao Ang was dumbfounded by Cheng Yu's words, and his enthusiasm at the beginning was now extinguished by seven or eight points, he looked at Cheng Yu with a dejected face and asked, "How is this good?" Is there a good plan for you, sir? ”

Cheng Yu sighed and said: "It's not that there is no way, but it's not a good policy, the only way to do this is to cut hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, eliminate the old and weak soldiers, send some dry food supplies to each person, and order them to return to their hometowns to farm!" In this way, his family will definitely leave with him, so that he can relieve a lot of pressure! The remaining troops once again selected the elite to form an army, led by the general of the family, and the rest of the soldiers were assigned to the wealthy families as rewards, so that not only could they sell personal favors, but also solved the problem of eating. ”

Cao Ang praised: "Mr. is really talented, I never thought that he would solve this big problem in just a few words!" Immediately, he suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said: "It's just that this matter of distributing dry food, I'm afraid that there is not much food in the army!" ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The eldest son is very smart, how can he be confused now?" This dry food is naturally from the stock of the Yellow Turbans, and we only care about the travel expenses, so can we still supply it for a year? They must have this bit of food and grass! ”

Cao Ang patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't even think about this!" When I see my father, I will definitely take the credit of my husband to the truth! ”

Cheng Yu said: "The old man doesn't have any credit, he just moved his mouth, if you talk about credit, the eldest son and the general are the most credited!" Now that the eldest son has recovered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and solved General Cao's confidant, when General Cao asks how to deal with the pawns, the eldest son can sacrifice this plan, and General Cao will be happy! ”

Cao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it, and asked: "The biggest credit for this time is Mr., why does Mr. give the credit to him?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said nothing, reined in his mount, and stepped aside, he knew it well: Intimacy is intimate, this is an eternal truth, not just Cao Cao, anyone is inevitably vulgar.

He has not officially become Cao Cao's staff, and now even if he has great merit, it is impossible to make his position in Cao Cao's heart surpass his son, after all, he is the person who is about to inherit the unification, rather than leaving Cao Cao with an impression of being arrogant, it is better to sell Cao Ang's personal affection, he will definitely double the reward to himself in the future, and it is just a strange thing to live in.

Everyone walked slowly, and when they arrived at Lihu, it was noon the next day, and Chen Tianba rushed back in advance with a few Qu Shuai to recruit subordinate sergeants.

In fact, it is not so much about surrendering, it is better to say that it is just a change of flag, most of the sergeants under these Qu Shuai are following them to fight together, the soldiers do not know who General Tianxing is, but they know who their commander is, they only trust, and only obey the orders of their commander, so the recruitment and surrender work is progressing quickly and smoothly.

At this time, Cao Ang was sitting on the main seat of the handsome tent, discussing with Chen Tianba, Cheng Yu, Zhang Wei and others about the strategy of recovering Dingtao.

Suddenly, a canal chief rushed in and said, "Report, young master, the pseudo-immortal has led three thousand dead soldiers to the outside of the camp, asking to see Chen Qushuai!" ”

"Pseudo-immortals?" Cao Ang looked at Chen Tianba with a puzzled expression, "Shouldn't Deng Yi be in Shouzhang, why did he rush here so quickly?" ”

Chen Tianba bowed down and said: "Young Master, this pseudo-immortal is not Deng Yi, but the commander of the dead battalion under Deng Yi, who calls himself an immortal girl!" ”
