The spring of the first year of Jian'an came quickly, as if the ice and snow became a gentle drizzle in an instant, and the end was wonderful.

The flow of people coming and going on the streets of Xudu also poured out from nowhere, as if the streets of Xudu had narrowed in an instant.

Among them, there is naturally a team of soldiers and armor patrolling in the city of Xudu, seeing them from afar, the people around them are out of the middle of the main road, let the patrolling soldiers pass, and return the eyes of envy and admiration, and the same, the eyes of these soldiers are also proud of the front, and the heart is happy, "As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier!"

For people like Xiao Cao Ang and Xiao Chen who are determined to be generals, this sentence is obviously inappropriate, but as the pillars of tens of millions of ordinary people's families, if they can't really feed the old and young in the family, who is willing to exchange their lives for that meager salary?

For those common men who can't even eat. The sense of mission is obviously so far away, why are deserters so often banned in history?

Guy they don't have a clear goal in mind, themselves. Who exactly is it fighting for?

Fight for the Great Han?

Obviously, this slogan is not suitable for soldiers who are in danger. What the generals are looking for is how to go further, let themselves hold power, and become famous in the world; All the soldiers asked for was how to protect themselves, how to bring some money and food to their wives and children."

But at the end of the day, there's one thing that everyone needs, and that's land!

A new set of articles was promulgated by the Great Han Situ Jiang Zheli pen and Shangshu Ling Xun Yu. This is one of the three strategies that Jiang Zhe said to Cao Cao earlier. improve the living conditions of the soldiers' families...... As soon as this order came out, the impact was very great, because Cao Cao actually ordered to divide the good land belonging to the clan that participated in the rebellion of Xudu with the 40,000 garrisons of Xudu, of course, these lands can only be obtained by the direct family of the soldier or relatives within three generations, and they must not be bought and sold!

In addition to this matter, Cao Cao also planned to open up the wasteland in Chongzhou and Yuzhou, and rewarded these lands to the meritorious soldiers, remember, it was the soldiers. And not generals!

For this reason, some veterans who followed Cao Cao early actually got more than 100 acres of land overnight, and there were those who laughed happily and those who were at a loss.

Of course, there is also a very humane clause in this decree: if a soldier has no relatives in his family, he can also "sell" the land to the government at the market price, but he is not allowed to buy and sell it privately.

Such a humane regulation was naturally added by Jiang Zhe.

Baixin owns land, which is not a new thing. But with such a huge amount of land and soldiers under his command allocated at one time, Cao Cao, as a prince, should be the first person!

I remember what Jiang Zhe said at that time, "It is not enough to tie the hearts of the soldiers with honor, if the wives and children at home are forced by life, how can the soldiers have the will to fight?" ”

Cao Cao was deeply aware of it, and with a stroke of the pen, he allocated countless wastelands in Chongzhou and Yuzhou, and even Xun Yu, who was in charge of internal affairs, nodded secretly.

Now that there are benefits, what about honor?

Honor is naturally there, and now there are countless reliefs carved with the heroic deeds of the soldiers within the city wall of Xudu, Jiang Zhe is bulldozing the piece of land in front of the Xudu Thorn Mansion, and erecting a huge stone tablet on it, the martyr's tablet!

But anyone who sacrifices his life for the country, no matter who he is, can go to this stele to be admired by future generations, and the name, place of origin, and the battle on the stele are all expressed, which should be readily available.

"That's all we can do to the dead"

When he said this, Jiang Zhe naturally remembered every battle he had experienced, from Xuzhou to Xudu, from Xudu to Yizhou, countless soldiers fought bravely for just one order from the general, attacking the city and attacking the pool, but what did they get?

On weekdays, it's just a small rice cake pasta for satisfying the stomach. After dying in battle, it can only be turned into a pension, that's all.

The credit always belongs to the generals, and it is because of this concept that there will be slackness. Or a deserter"

But now it is different, the interests of the soldiers of Chong and Henan have been linked to the Xudu government, and they have been hooked with the general Cao Cao, and they are both prosperous. It's a loss!

Cheng Yu, who is good at planning, deliberately asked Cao Cao to give Xu Du a three-day vacation, so that they could personally help the old and young in the family find their own place, so that they could see the changes in their own home."

If it were in another place, Cao Cao's wanton distribution of land would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the clans, but in Xu Du, Gaine was in Xu Du, all the clans who were on the stage died under the planning of Cheng Yu and Li Ru, and the rest were just a remnant of the world, how could they be qualified to fight against Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe who were in the sky?

In addition, the general Cao Cao Zun was invited by the drama Zhicai, issued a recruitment order, and recruited talented people to come to Xu Du to seek careers in March, and the children of the poor family accounted for the vast majority.

This is obviously very different from what the clan admires, filial piety, and honesty, so Cao Cao was suddenly blacklisted as unpopular by the clan.

However, Cao Cao can also think about it, anyway, since his debut, there are not many children of the family who have come to meet him, and when Cao Cao was in Luoyang earlier, he suffered from the white eyes of the big families in Luoyang, and he did not want to ask for people. That's why Cao Cao issued a recruitment order, and it was in the name of the general of the Han Dynasty!

It's just that there is also trouble in this way, although the officials who came through Cao Cao's recruitment order have a certain talent, but many of them are not of good moral character, for this reason, Jiang Zhe even advocated letting Cheng Yu, who is quite strict in law enforcement, be in charge of the crime.

But any official who commits a crime in the hands of Cheng Yu and the evidence is conclusive will end up extremely miserable, and it is best to just behead him in a vegetable market...... So the official style of the two states is one of the Qing Cao Cao has not sent troops to Xuzhou at this moment, because he got a secret report, Yuan Shu, who occupies Nanyang and Runan, used the excuse of Xuzhou Liu Bei's light troops to invade the territory, and wanted to use troops against Liu Bei, but Lu Bu was worried about Yuan Shu's false appearance, and helped Liu Bei under the persuasion of the strategist Chen Gong's lips and teeth.

Since then, Yuan Shu has had a bad relationship with Liu Bei and Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

In this way, Cao Cao consulted with the strategists and felt that there was an opportunity. On the one hand, he played Lu Bu as the assassin of Xuzhou, and let him attack Yuan Shu, who was unkind, and on the other hand, he sent a secret envoy to Yuan Shu. Hypothesis and his crusade against Lü Bu.

Cao Cao and Lu Bu had a bad relationship, Yuan Shu naturally knew about it, and he didn't doubt it, but he just wanted the land of Xuzhou in half of the realm.

Facing the envoy sent by Yuan Shu, Cao Cao laughed and said, "This general only needs Lu Bu's thief's head, and you will let your lord exchange Lu Bu's head for it!" ”

Yuan Shu's envoy truthfully told his master, Yuan Shu was convinced, and secretly mobilized troops and horses to enter Xuzhou, but he didn't think of using Lu Bu's head to Cao Cao to exchange for half of Xuzhou.

What he wants is the whole of Xuzhou!

All I want is a name to crusade against Lu Bu!

Similarly, how could Cao Cao hand over half of Xuzhou, such an important rice and grain land, to Yuan Shu?

Don't say half of it, Cao Cao doesn't want to do it at all, don't forget that Yuan Shu is among the people Cao Cao hates. It's just under Lu Bu.

Now there are three people that Cao Cao hates, the first is naturally Changbu, followed by Yuan Shu, and then Liu Biao of Jingzhou!

Liu Biao relied on the fact that he was a member of the royal family, refused Cao Cao and did not obey the edict, but actually drove away the attendants sent by Cao Cao to Jingzhou to appease him, and even scolded Cao Cao for being unkind and holding the Son of Heaven hostage.

Still, Cao Cao hated Liu Biao deeply.

But now in Cao Cao's heart, the first thing to take is naturally Xuzhou, one is to destroy Lu Bu's troubles, and the other is whether there is a chance to crusade against Yuan Shu. But Zhuo Cao was not in a hurry, and only let Guo Jia practice the battle formation of his soldiers every day, and he and the newlywed concubine came to Ying'er to drink every day, waiting for the best time to crusade against Xuzhou.

It is said that three days after Cao Cao took Jiang Zhe to drink flower wine that day, he put the Ying'er who he was obsessed with into the room, and his life was not comfortable.

But in this way, Jiang Zhe will be in trouble, anyway, Cao Cao just said a word, and let his subordinates go to Situ Jiang Mansion for anything.

And whenever Jiang Zhe went to Cao's mansion opposite, Cao Cao said apologetically, "If you are righteous, why should you not worry about it?" Ling Jiangzhe was speechless.

For internal affairs, Cao Cao did not have the slightest interest, when he was the prime minister of Jinan, he suffered from the lack of literati under his hands, and this is the end of himself, and now there are Jiang Zhe and other Wang Zuo talents, why should Cao Cao personally deal with everything?

Cao Cao only cares about Xuzhou!

Since he has become a great general, he must have a great victory to announce to the world, "This great general, I Cao Mengde has done it!" ”

Cao Cao is waiting!

Since Cao Cao is lazy, how can Jiang Zhe not find a reason to be lazy? Tomorrow, I will go to the Assassin's Mansion to order something, and then go to the palace to sit for a while, sometimes chat with the little emperor Liu Xie, and then return home early to accompany the good wife.

If he has nothing to do, Jiang Zhe will also go to various military camps to inspect them, and in the name of "surprise inspection", apart from these, there is no need for him to deal with the rest of the matters personally.

In other words, most of the government affairs of Jiang Zhe's Yuzhou Assassin History were handled by Li Ru and Xun Yu.

In April of the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu, the assassin of Yangzhou, worshiped Zhang Xun as a general, led an army of more than 100,000, and conquered Xuzhou in seven ways: Zhang Xun, the first general, took Xuzhou; On the second road, the bridge will be fern and take Xiaopei; On the third road, Chen Ji will take Yidu; The deputy general of the fourth road, Lei Bo, took Lang Nuo; Chen Lan, the deputy general of the fifth road, took brownstone; The sixth way descended to Han Hao, and took it down; The seventh road descended to Mei Cheng and took Junshan.

The generals of the subordinates will go from the beginning of the day.

He also ordered the general Ji Ling to save the seven roads.

Yuan Shu led 30,000 troops, so that Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le were the envoys to meet the soldiers of the Seven Roads.

Afterwards, Cao Cao got this report and gathered soldiers and horses, only waiting for the day of dispatch.

In order to prevent Liu Biao of Jingzhou and the generals of Guanzhong from taking advantage of the emptiness of Xudu to attack, Cao Cao ordered Zhong Harrier to guard Luoyang and stick to the Tiger Pass; He also ordered Xi Zhicai to lure 30,000 soldiers from the state to the border to contain Liu Biao.

Originally, under Cao Cao's consideration, Jiang Zhe was the most suitable candidate for him to stay in Xudu, but first, in Cao Cao's heart, Jiang Zhe was proficient in military and political affairs, and it seemed very condescending to let him stay behind, and secondly, Chen Deng, the key figure in Xuzhou, was Jiang Zhe's student, so how could Jiang Zhe not go?

Therefore, Cao Cao planned to leave Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to stay in Xudu, making Jiang Zhe a military advisor, Guo Jiafu and Xun You as the governor of grain and grass.

Among the generals who traveled, Xiahou Yuan had to go with Xi Zhicai to contain Liu Biao, Cao Ren led the garrison of Xu Du, Cao Chun had not yet subdued the tiger and leopard battalion, and Yu Ban was responsible for supervising the training of Qingzhou soldiers. As a result, none of the four generals can go to Xuzhou.

So, on the list of generals for Cao Cao's trip, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Li Tong were added."
