Chapter 2 Jian'an for five years

Juice chibi! Postwar. Cao Jun was frustrated and retreated to Jingqi Jiangling. Came to the Spider World Satire Mountain for the second time

When I went there was an army of hundreds of thousands, and when I returned, there were only a few thousand.

Of course, there are exaggerations in it, and generally speaking, there are still 40,000 or 50,000 Cao troops who were able to return, but among them, there are indeed only a few thousand people who can still fight again and are willing to continue to stay in the army.

Cao Jun did not enter the city, perhaps because he had no face to enter the city, or he was unable to enter the city, or for other reasons,

Cai Mao complied with Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe's intentions, recruited people to build a military camp in the east of the city, which was obviously not seen in the past.

The camp was completed in three days, and then, the bustling defeated army settled in it,

Tens of thousands of defeated troops walked into the camp without saying a word, and the scene was very bleak.

Although before this battle, after the epidemic, Jiang Zhe had told everyone that the Cao army had already prepared in their hearts, but when they encountered it in person now, they still felt lost.

Defeated! Defeated after all!

Although he is defeated in the sky, he is defeated after all,"

The ancients said that blessings and disasters do not go alone, this sentence is indeed reasonable!

The next day, a mutiny broke out in the military camp outside Jiangling City, the scale was not very large, only hundreds of defeated soldiers clashed with the local Jingzhou defenders, the reason is also a little ridiculous, but when the local Jingzhou defenders looked at Cao Ying to escort rice food, the two sides raised the corners of their mouths, among them, there was a Jingzhou defender scolded a Cao soldier who lost his right leg, "There are many lame things"

Before the Cao soldier lying on the straw couch came back to his senses, suddenly, some Cao soldiers in the camp felt aggrieved and had no way to vent, so they immediately turned red with anger, drew their swords, and cut the Jingzhou defender into pulp, in front of the rest of the Jingzhou defenders who came to transport grain."

And so. It escalated into a fight......

In just a cup of tea, more than 100 Jingzhou defenders and more than 100 Cao army defeated soldiers in the camp joined the melee, and when Cai Mao heard the news and rushed to come, the matter was already erosive, the camp was noisy, and more than 1,000 people fought each other, and it was difficult to stop.

Cai Mao didn't say a word, while telling Cao Cao about the matter, he transferred 3,000 guards from Jiangling. Barely take the two sides apart.

waited for half a pillar of incense, didn't wait for Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe, but waited for Cao Chun and three thousand tigers and leopards

"General Cao, dare to ask Cao Gong and Situ

That Cao Chun glanced at the chaos in the camp lightly, frowned and said, "The lord has a headache and is sick in bed at the moment, the lord has ordered, this matter will be dealt with by General Cai at his discretion!" ”

"Discretionary?" Cai Mao looked surprised, and then asked, "What about Situ?" ”

"Situ," Cao Chun sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "In these days, Situ has never slept well for a few nights, and yesterday he rested in the city according to the lord's wishes, and the lord never told Situ about this," said Cao Chun, Cao Chun stepped forward and yelled at the two groups of people, "Who else dares to do it?" Lay down your blade for me! ”

The tiger and leopard with three thousand horses and cold faces rode beside them, only to hear a "Ding Suo." At the sound of the sound, the two groups of people bowed their heads one after another and abandoned the blades in their hands.

Discretionary disposal? What is the discretionary method?

Cai Mao smiled bitterly, and after discussing with Cai Zhong and Cai He, it was finally decided that the two sides would deal with each other, and the defenders of Jingzhou would be punished heavily, and Cao Jun would be punished lightly

For those who scold themselves villains. The defenders of Jingzhou, Cai Mao was indifferent, but she sneered in her heart: Don't look at what time it is, stupid!

Indeed, what time is it now?

Now is the time when Cao Jun's army is fighting against Chibi and withdrawing in disgrace, and Cao Cao is eager to improve the sense of belonging of the officers and soldiers in the army!

Sure enough, after hearing that Cai Mao would "reoffend." After dozens of people were killed on the spot, Cao Cao's face was flat, and the generals in the army were very angry, if it wasn't for Cai Mao to take the lead, if it was for Xiahou Dun, who came to hear the news, to do it, I'm afraid of this, "Hey!

Jiang Zhe, who was waiting to wake up, heard this, sighed secretly, and immediately ordered the gate of the village to be closed and sent back to the defenders of Jingzhou.

However, this matter is not over,

Three days later, there was another incident in the camp, and a Cao army Dubo came to Li Dian of the rear army and asked to withdraw from the army, followed by thousands of Cao soldiers.

Although Li Dian also knew that the army had to be reorganized, so that the disabled soldiers who were difficult to return to combat would be disarmed and returned to the field, but this did not include the able-bodied Dubo in front of him?

I hope that among the thousands of soldiers, there are also many Cao soldiers who are not sick or injured."

A dignified general was blocked out of the tent by thousands of people under his command, is this funny? Is it angry?

Li Dian didn't feel funny, nor did he feel angry, he just asked someone to report the matter to Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe, after all, even if he was a general, he had no right or dared to make a decision about it at this moment."

Cao Cao was not surprised to ask about this, because Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xun You had already expected a reward for this

When Cao Bing, who wanted to retire, saw Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xun You coming, more than 100 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army with sound limbs quietly withdrew, and immediately, it was the Eastern Expeditionary Army......

In the end, there were only three or five thousand people standing in front of Cao Cao.

Looking at those soldiers who lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up at them, Cao Cao didn't feel the atmosphere in his heart, but felt desolate, sighed secretly, and shouted, "I, Cao soldiers, raise your heads!" ”

The Cao army looked up in disbelief, but saw Cao Cao give a deep salute, and said in a deep voice, "You soldiers are not against me Cao Cao, but I Cao Cao can't stand against you" Chibi Vicious battle, how tragic, but my 400,000 Cao army, no one surrendered to the thief, Cao Cao felt honored, if it weren't for you, how could Cao Cao stand on this? Please bow to Cao Cao! "My lord!" All Cao soldiers exclaimed in surprise, and watched Cao Cao make another big salute.

"You are all good sons of our army!" shouted loudly, Cao Cao looked back at Li Dian beside him, and sighed slightly, "Man Cheng, from the rear army quartermaster's office, take the military salary that has been transported, or if our army wants to return to its hometown, in addition to rewards and pensions, another 10,000 yuan will be issued for travel expenses."

"Ten thousand dollars?" Li Dian's eyes widened, and when he looked at the generals beside him, he was also shocked.

You must know that the military salary of ordinary soldiers is only 2,000 yuan!

Ignoring Li Dian's exclamation, Cao Cao looked back at the Cao soldiers in front of him, and said apologetically, "You don't hesitate to use your lives to help me Cao Cao calm the war in the world, but unfortunately he doesn't wait with me, Cao Cao has nothing else, only this meager heart, I can't bear it, I want to say, the athletes in our army are all heroes in the world, how can they be compared with ten thousand dollars?" However, in recent years, there has been a lot of war. Cao Cao didn't have much money to spare, and he couldn't bear to harsh the people, so he only "only called the soldiers in the army" alas! Please bow to Cao Cao again! ”

"My lord!" With a flurry of exclamations. The Cao soldiers looked excited, and shouted, "Cao Gong treats us and waits, there is nothing more, if we can still resume the war, we will definitely help Cao Ping to settle this troubled world,"

"Cao Gong!"

As a result, another group of able-bodied Cao soldiers quietly withdrew from the ranks, and the rest were indeed incomplete limbs, and it was difficult to resume the war."

"Good guy" looked at the place from afar, Sima Yi smiled and said to Jia Xu beside him, "Three worships, plus a mere 10,000 yuan of travel expenses, so I called these soldiers, "Hey, this matter is probably Situ's idea, right?" ”

"Humph!" I saw Jia Xu sneer and said in a low voice. "Don't think that the world is like you. Ill-intentioned! Situ Ke really issued the road fee, "just ten thousand dollars? In addition to humiliation and pensions, there is no spare money in the army" It's you, hey! In addition, Cao Gong can listen to Situ's kind words and bend his face like this, he is really a hero in the world! ”

"Hey, hey!" Sima Yi smiled and said in a low voice. "It sounds good, but it's just buying people's hearts!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Sima Yi lightly, and stroked his beard silently.

Cao Cao at this moment, he should say the same!

In just half an hour, in front of the Cao soldiers, countless wooden boxes were already placed, and inside the wooden boxes, there were all dark yellow and slightly dull copper coins".

Looking at those copper coins, the Cao soldiers breathed a little heavy......

"Send money!" Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted.

I saw Li Dian frowning, hesitantly looked at the wooden boxes, waved his hand, and even if there were several junior colonels in the army and hundreds of generals and soldiers, they distributed rewards, pensions, and the 10,000 yuan of travel expenses one by one

Just like Sima Yi said, it's just a small amount of money.

However, it was this mere amount of money, and the impact it brought to Cao Bing was incomparable

"It's your turn!" A pro-soldier looked up at Tong Ze in front of him, then saw his empty right arm, and whispered. "Brother, don't be stunned, come and get the money"

"Hmm!" The man answered, took a step forward, but saw that the soldier looked up at the man's armor, and while taking the money, he said, "What is the position" to reward, these, this is a pension, plus 10,000 yuan for travel expenses, okay, here, can you make it clear? ”

Glancing at the money bag carried by the soldiers, Wang Er opened his mouth, took it silently, turned his head to look, but saw that not far away, Chen Ergou, who had been promoted to Dubo, was looking at him with a reluctant expression.

Hey! At first, he just wanted to earn some military salaries, so he used the excuse to leave the army. Who would think now

Wang Er raised his hand slowly, but he didn't take the money bag, but wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and the pro-soldiers were not in a hurry, and the rest of the Cao soldiers were not in a hurry. Quietly looking at Wang Er, he sighed deeply, glanced at his empty right arm, and slowly took the money bag.

"Next!"

"Chief's position,"

The heavy money bag, just like Wang Er's mood at the moment, as soon as he checked the weight of the money bag, he knew that it was rich, if on weekdays, Wang Er would have already grinned, and right now"

Maybe it's because the money was exchanged for one of his own arms, or maybe it's because he's leaving the army...... Shaking his head with self-deprecation, Wang Er suddenly looked at one more person in front of him, and looked up at the person who came. Said with a wry smile, "What, come and see if I can't make a joke?" ”

"Where do you dare" The person who came was Chen Ergou, and I saw him walking side by side with Wang Er, and said sincerely, "If it weren't for Brother Wang, he would be standing there right now." I'm afraid it's me."

"Heh" Wang Er smiled faintly, shook his head and said. "Who called Brother Wang, I am the commander of your boy's subordinates?"

"That's not the case," Chen Ergou smiled slightly, and suddenly clenched his fists and said, "Brother Wang's life-saving grace, little brother doesn't know if he can repay it in this life." But what did Brother Wang send the younger brother to do? As in duty bound! ”

"Come on" flipped the money bag in his hand, and Wang Er subconsciously wanted to pat Chen Ergou on the shoulder. But his complexion changed suddenly, and then he sighed and said, "Although it is not a return to the hometown, it is better than dying in battle, so it's okay,"

Raising his head, Wang Er turned his head and said, "Remember, Ergou, only if you are alive can you do the position of Dubo, if you are accidentally disabled, you can only be like me" said, he checked the money bag in his hand, and then said, "If you die, you will have to work for the rest of the brothers, and you will be rewarded, rewarded, and the ashes will be sent back to the township."

"Brother Wang's meaning, little brother understands!"

"It's good to understand" laughed at himself, Wang Er looked up and down at the armor on Chen Ergou's body, and suddenly smiled, "It's quite fitting, not bad, people look like dogs"

"Brother Wang, don't make fun of me

"Come on, since you've become Dubo, take the time to change your name. Two dogs and two dogs, it's not good after all! ”

"Hmm!"

"That'...... Then I'll..."

The two were silent for a while.

At this moment, a man shouted from the camp.

"Brothers, who have received the money, do not want to leave the camp, the lord has sent a message, and he wants to erect a "mound of ten thousand armies" outside Gangneung City to comfort the souls of my soldiers who died in battle, and I hope that you will leave for a few days

"As it should be!" Before the man could finish shouting, Cao Bing nearby replied loudly.

"The Mass of Hosts?" Wang Er smiled faintly.

"Brothers, I just learned from the brothers of Cao Gong's own soldiers that Cao Gong wants to erect a huge monument on the mound of ten thousand armies, and record the names of all the soldiers of our army in this battle on the monument and spread it to the world."

"All?" Wang Er looked back in amazement, and a glimmer of light flashed in his gloomy eyes.

"Be Knowledgeable"

"Is that so?" Like Wang Er, the camp suddenly became lively.

At the same time, Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Xun You had already quietly left and entered the camp commander's tent.

Hearing a sudden cheer from the camp, Jiang Zhe sighed slightly and said, "That's all I can do!" ”

"Is it good to keep righteousness" shook his head and glanced at Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia smiled, "But Shouyi, this way, it is no less than Xu Du's taxes, and it will affect the lord."

"Feng Xiao's words are wrong!" It's not people who speak. It was Cao Cao, I saw him interrupt Guo Jia's words, and said with a smile, "It's just a shame." can make the soldiers under his command feel relieved, let alone three bows, that is, thirty bows, three hundred bows, so what? ”

"Haha" Guo Jia laughed and bowed. "The lord is really the lord!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard complacently and said with a smile, "Keeping righteousness and thinking is so clever that it appeases the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers,"

"More than that, the lord" chuckled, Xun You said gently, "I thought that after this incident, the name of the lord and the sage should be known all over the world, everyone admires our army, and our army is condensed."

"Cohesion!" Jiang Zhe said with a light smile.

"Yes!" Glancing at Jiang Zhe kindly, Xun You then said, "As Shouyi said before, our army is more cohesive!" ”

"Not bad!" Cao Cao patted the table in front of him, and suddenly said, "The matter of the Wanjun Tomb was supervised by Cai Mao and others, but it is just a sacrificial text, is Cao good at writing this kind of prayer, righteousness, filial piety, and public reach?" As he spoke, Cao Cao set his eyes on Jiang Zhe.

"Zhe is not good at this!" Jiang Zhe's face was a little embarrassed.

Also! What is good at guarding righteousness is military and internal affairs! Cao Cao was stunned, and then looked at Guo Jia again.

"Don't, I'm not good at this!" Guo Jia waved his hand again and again.

Indeed, filial piety is also ......

With a wry smile, Cao Cao finally looked at Xun Xin...

"This." I saw Xun You's face full of embarrassment, and he hesitated and said, "I haven't written it before."

When he opened his mouth, Cao Cao was speechless for a while. Raising for a while, he said suddenly. "Where is Chen Lin?"

"This person is still in Xudu," Guo Jia said.

"Then this" hehe smiled, Cao Cao's ill-intentioned eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, and Chuan Tai, but the ugly two stared at themselves. Immediately shouted to Yu Ai, coughed and said, "It is ridiculous that someone may falsely rumor that he is good at words!" Shouyi, filial piety, and Gongda, this matter will be handed over to you and the other three! Hugh to mention it again! ”

The voice fell into the net, and someone outside the tent walked in, looking into the tent in amazement.

The four of them turned their heads to look, but it was Jia Xu and Sima Yi."

"Situ, what are you discussing?" Jia Xu asked in a low voice.

Before Jiang Zhe could speak, Cao Cao asked, "Wenhe, are you good at writing sacrificial texts?" ”

"Sacrifice?" Jia Xu was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, smiled and said, "Go back to Cao Gong's words." I'm not good at this, but there's a candidate in the next,"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise. "Don't say it's that madman is called Zhengping!" Obviously, Cao Cao still has resentment towards him.

Hey! Sima Yi sneered, if he really asked that guy to write a sacrificial text, it would be interesting!

"No, no," he shook his head with a wry smile, and Jia Xu said in a condensed voice. "The person recommended below. Maybe he is not good at this matter, but this person is well-read and strong, has outstanding literary talents, and is rumored to be Jingxiang, and now, he is also under the command of Cao Gong

"Is there really such a person?" Cao Cao frowned and asked, and Jiang Zhe also turned his head in surprise.

As if seeing Jiang Zhe looking at him, Jia Xu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this person has some relationship with Situ!" ”

"What Wen He said is,"

"Wang Cang, Wang Zhongxuan! This person had studied under Cai Saijiu. Later, under Liu Biao's account, after Cao Gong and Situ attacked Jingzhou, this person was a director under the side of Xenodu. If Cao Gong wants to use it, he only needs a fast horse, and it will be soon! ”

"It turned out to be him!" Jiang Zhe was stunned.

Indeed, speaking of this person, Jiang Zhe really has some connections with him, but because of this, when Jiang Zhe was re-appointed as an official in Jingzhou, it was inconvenient to promote this Wang Cang, and he was only transferred to the director of Fang Yue.

And he, Wang Can, seems to be unwilling to attach himself to Jiang Zhe in order to achieve glory, and like Cai Mao, he has never been to Jiang Zhe's mansion when he lived in Xiangyang."

"If that's the case" Cao Cao thought for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Someone! ”

When even one of the soldiers walked in, he clenched his fists and called, "Lord! ”

"You take a quick trip to Xiangyang, and ask Wang Cang and Wang Zhongxuan to come to Jiangling quickly, I will be of great use!"

"No!"

Three days later, Wang Cang, who was in Jia Xu's mouth, came by order.

After he greeted Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, Xun You and others, Cao Cao asked directly. "Today, I want to use you to write an article to mourn my soldiers who died in this battle, so as to rest their souls!" said. He told Wang Cang about the battle one by one.

"What's so hard about that?" Wang Cang smiled faintly and immediately responded.

Seeing him so confident, Cao Cao was also a little surprised, raised his hand and shouted, "Someone!" Take pen and ink! ”

From time to time, Cao Cao's own soldiers took pen and ink and presented it to Wang Cang.

I saw Wang Cang looking at the paper and closing his eyes for a while, and suddenly picked up the pen and waved the pen to write, during which he did not hesitate for a moment.

However, as soon as the tea scene was opened, Wang Cang threw his pen on the ground, got up and arched his hand, "The article has been completed!" ”

"What?" Cao Cao, who was drinking tea with a teacup, looked stunned, glanced at Wang Cang in surprise, suddenly put down the teacup, frowned and said, "Take it and show it!" ”

Wang Cang respectfully presented it, only to see Cao Cao look at it roughly, his face was already shocked, and then he looked carefully, and he was even more moved, while handing the article to Jiang Zhe beside him, he said with a smile, "There is a lack of one person in my house to write a pen, are you willing to give in?" ”

"Cao Gong is in love, so gracious, how can he be disrespectful?" Wang Cang said respectfully.

"Haha" Lang laughed, Cao Cao said to Jiang Zhe, "Shouyi, what do you think?" ”

I saw Jiang Zhe smile kindly at Wang Cang, nodded and said, "It's really a good article!" ”

"Oh, let me see" casually snatched Jiang Zhe's Chinese chapter, Guo Jia carefully tasted it. He also nodded again and again.

"Someone!" With a straight face, Cao Cao got up and shouted. "Pass the order, three days later, I will set up an altar in Gangneung to sacrifice the souls of hundreds of thousands of my soldiers!"

"No!"

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao built a mound of ten thousand armies in Jiangling. A huge stone tablet was erected again, and the names of the 400,000 soldiers of this battle were listed on it one by one, and the project was huge. The year is over.

During this period, Cao Cao set up an altar here. To comfort the souls of 400,000 soldiers in heaven.

The people of Jingzhou and Cao Jun Shangping all watched from the sidelines.

Put incense on the case, spread sacrifices, and list 8864 lamps. to raise the banner to summon the spirit.

When the rising sun came, Cao Cao was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a golden crown on his head, and personally sacrificed and stood with a sword.

And the matter of reading the sacrificial text naturally fell on Jiang Zhe,

I saw Jiang Zhe wearing a white plain suit, and his face was solemn. Take a slight breath, wait for the voices in the audience to stop, and read slowly:

"On the fourth day of the first month of the fifth spring of the fifth year of Jian'an of the Wei Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Wuping, Sikong, Lingchong Prefecture Mu, and Cao Cao, the captain of Sili, solemnly presented the sacrificial ceremony, and enjoyed the martyrdom of the army and said: My Han is prosperous in the sky. Prestige is spread to Rize, and the famous broadcast has a bird's eye view. Jiangdong puppets, who do not obey the mandate of heaven, cut themselves off in vain, and recklessly steal the wolf's heart with the tail of the longitudinal spring, and steal the wolf's heart, it is really unforgivable! I am ordained by heaven. Guilty of Jiangdong; There is a large shortage of ships, and all ants are eliminated; The male army gathered, and the madness disappeared; When I heard the sound of breaking bamboo, it was the momentum of losing the ape.

However, the weather is unpredictable. The fatigue in the army is to make Jiangdong succeed, and it is really the time of the day!

But the soldier is a child. It is full of Kyushu heroes; Bureaucrats and generals are all heroes from all over the world: practicing martial arts. Vote for the master, don't apply for three orders, and repeatedly fight thieves; Qi Jian is sincere to the country and loyal to the will of the king.

When did you lose the opportunity to lose the army, and the fate fell into the treacherous scheme: or you were hit by the arrow, and the soul covered the spring platform; Or be wounded by a sword, and return to the long night: if you are born, you will be brave, and if you die, you will become famous. Today, our army wants to return and sacrifice the prisoners. Thou art and the heroic spirits are still there, and prayers must be heard: follow me to carry the flag. Chase me and return to the kingdom together. Each recognizes his hometown, is steamed by flesh and bones, and receives the sacrifice of his family; Don't be a ghost in a foreign land, but a soul in a foreign land.

Thou and the rest of the families were all covered with grace, and they gave food and clothing in those years, and Kanglu in the month. Reward you with this, and comfort you.

The living are both majestic and mighty, and the dead are also returned to the king.

Talk about Dancheng and pay tribute to Chen sacrifices.

Woohoo, alas! Fu Wei is still feasting! ”

The exquisite words, combined with Jiang Zhe's slightly mournful voice, only listened to the countless Cao soldiers in the audience, and all the people of Jiangling also had a look of kinship.

At the same time, Zhang Baiqi mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses, with the generals Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai as the vanguard, and fiercely attacked the water pass.

On the one hand, Zhong Xuan, the general of the Bishui Pass, requisitioned Zhongmu, Changshe, and Guandu soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he sent letters to Xu Du again and again, and got this bad news, Cheng Yu's subordinates had no military power, and in desperation, they had to send more than ten messengers to Jiangling,"

The rest, led by Wen Shi Wei Kai. It is intended to respect Cao Cao and establish himself as emperor."

If it is really a blessing and a disaster,

Five years of Jian'an is indeed an eventful autumn (to be continued)
