"This is my clan brother Xiahou Dun, the cousin Yuan Rang, was busy training soldiers yesterday, so I haven't seen you before......"

Cao Cao smiled and took Gao Heng to inspect the camp, and introduced the layout and personnel in Cao's camp to him from time to time, so that he could have a deeper understanding of Cao's army.

At the same time, this scene also made many people see Cao Cao's attention to Gao Heng.

Of course, there is also a reason why Gao Heng can recruit hundreds of soldiers. After all, for the current Cao Cao, any bit of strength is very important.

"Meng De......" The heroic and heroic Xiahoudun was dressed in military uniform, wearing a black iron jacket and a huge sword at his waist. Seeing Cao Cao, he only gave up his hand slightly, and then continued to focus on the drill of the soldiers in front of him, obviously governing the army very strictly.

"Ignore me, military affairs matter." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the generals who had come to salute to return to their respective posts.

Xiahoudun's identity is Sima Fenwu, the general of the account, and the first general of the Cao army. And he is also the oldest, and he has followed Cao Cao to conquer the Yingchuan Yellow Turban a few years ago.

As the governor of the account, Xiahoudun is in charge of the main general's personal soldiers, and there is no doubt that he is an absolute confidant.

At this time, on the huge school field, a group of soldiers was divided into several phalanxes and constantly practiced according to orders.

The pikemen stabbed with their spears on the ground, and the spears were fierce. The sword and shield soldiers practiced shield blocking hard and slashed counterattacks.

These are the two major branches of Cao's army, and they have the largest number of people.

In addition, there are some more special types of troops, such as the heavy halberds, which are often responsible for guarding the main general's tent. Warriors, steel ball soldiers, throwers, longbowmen, crossbowmen. These are a small number of elites.

The 5,000 Cao army formed their own phalanx because of different arms, and the momentum was not small. Cao Cao smiled and nodded frequently. It is obviously an affirmation of Xiahoudun's merits. Of these soldiers, only more than 1,000 people are private soldiers raised by the Cao family for many years with the Xiahou family. Most of them were recruited by Cao Cao when he was plotting to raise troops in Jiwu County, Chenliu County.

Since the training time is only a few months, it has taken a lot of effort to reach the level of uniformity that is now ordered.

"Yaoguang, what do you think of our army compared to Dong Zhuojun?" Cao Cao turned his head and asked. For Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, the heroes of the Kanto region are either timid or jealous.

Therefore, Gao Heng's greatest value is the information he knows about Dong Zhuojun, anyway, Cao Cao didn't expect him to go into battle to kill the enemy or anything.

"The soldiers under the command of the king are disciplined and the morale is high. It has a bit of the bearing of the court officials and soldiers. It's a pity that the army is too short, and the armament is not fine. Gao Heng naturally understood that the reason why Cao Cao took the time to take himself to inspect the camp was obviously thinking about taking the school examination, and his performance would fall in the eyes of this traitor in troubled times, so as to determine his specific status.

"Dong Zhuojun is a hundred elite soldiers in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, although the military discipline is loose, burning, killing and plundering, but they are all veterans for more than ten years, and they have obtained the Luoyang arsenal. Just from the apparatus a point. It has already taken advantage. ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with disappointment, of course he knew these situations, if Gao Heng's opinion only stopped there, it would be the capital of a Chinese person. But I want him to look the other way. But it's not enough.

Cao Cao employs people, first looking at his talent, and then looking at value. Then look at loyalty. If it is a talent, it can be reused for a long time under its account. And if it is only useful, then once it is used. But it will be discarded like a piece of.

Gao Heng now has a lot of use value, so Cao Cao behaved very enthusiastically and gave him a high status. But if he can't show enough vision, Cao Cao will not entrust him with important tasks, at most he will give a high-status idle job to raise, such as a teacher and friend sacrificing wine and a teacher and a friend engaged.

"However, for a few months at most, Dong Zhuo's army will definitely be defeated without defeat, while our army will be victorious without victory." Gao Heng smiled slightly, this is the benefit of knowing the general trend of history, and the reason can be found from the conclusion.

"Undefeated and defeated, undefeated and victorious?" A gleam flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, this statement is novel.

"Although Dong Zhuo can be a murderer for a while, no matter how strong his troops are, he will also lack food, otherwise he would not have to plunder Gyeonggi, so that Luoyang is deserted for 200 miles. Our army is weak, but there are many heroes and heroes, and they can be called brave. Dong Zhuojun has 200,000 soldiers, most of whom are veterans, and they can be called strong. But among the generals under his command, only Lu Bu and Xu Rong are worthy of attention. Once the food is exhausted and the internal and external difficulties are underway, Dong Zhuo will inevitably retreat to Guanzhong. At that time, how to support the army in the corner of Guanzhong and Xiliang? Within a few years, there will be civil strife! Gao Heng's tone was firm, but Cao Cao was skeptical.

"So, Yaoguang thinks that you can't go to war, but you should be stationed in the sour jujube camp, and the two armies will face each other, waiting for the opportunity?" Cao Cao frowned suddenly, and his face sank.

Cao Cao is a staunch main battle faction, if he wants to be like Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others to huddle in the sour jujube camp, drinking and singing, it is simply a coward.

"The king misunderstood, since ancient times, the two armies have faced each other, how can there be a reason to avoid the enemy and not fight?" Gao Heng shook his head, "If this is the case, it will definitely lose popularity." Moreover, if no one dares to fight with hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition troops, Dong Zhuo will be arrogant and will inevitably invade Yuzhou and seize military rations. Dong Zhuo's advantage is the elite soldiers, and the advantage of our army is the bravery. ”

The group talked and patrolled, and at this time they had already circled around a circle.

Several veterans dressed in the costumes of Du Bo and Shi Chang were originally commanding their subordinates, but at this time, they saw Gao Heng accompanying Cao Cao to inspect, and they all looked at each other immediately.

They worked hard for so long to climb to the position of a low-level officer. But as soon as Gao Heng came yesterday, he was able to make Cao Cao ceremoniously welcome, and he was even more chatty and laughing with the heroes of the Kanto region, which was really more popular than people.

"As a military officer, how can he be so lax and contemptuous, how can he be the leader of a team or a team?" Although Xiahoudun followed Cao Cao's side, he had been paying attention to the military formation, and immediately noticed the strangeness of these veterans, "Punish Er and others to be demoted by one level." ”

Each is downgraded by one level, that is, Dubo becomes the chief, and the chief becomes the chief. Several veterans suddenly had bitter faces, but they didn't dare to argue, Xiahoudun really dared to kill.

"If the army is not strictly governed, please punish Meng De." Xiahou clenched his fists and pleaded guilty.

"Yuan Rang has the old style of fine willows to govern the army, how can I be surprised." Cao Cao laughed heartily and helped Xiahoudun up, "If you can have a few more heroes like Yuan Rang, even if Dong Zhuo is stubborn, why be afraid?" ”

"Xiahou Sima Zhenhu Shiye." Gao Heng also sighed a few words of praise.

No way, this is the characteristic of the times of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how did the reputation of a fierce general and strategist come about? That's how it's touted. In the future, it will be publicized, and this will be the chicken soup for the soul of positive energy. Of course, Xiahoudun is indeed worthy of praise from others.

"Heng Bucai, but I know that a warrior, if he can be used by the Lord, he will definitely be like a tiger." Gao Heng looked at the unlucky veterans who had been demoted, and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Cao Cao suddenly became curious.

"Since the envoy has raised troops in Jiwu, I don't know if you have ever heard of the name of Dian Wei?" That's right, what Gao Heng said was Dian Wei, who was known as the evil of the ancients. Due to Gao Heng's influence, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai have defected to Cao Cao in advance, if Dian Wei is added, Cao Cao's strength is simply swelled by seven or eight percent compared to the original.
