Chapter 60: Joining the Army
Cao Cao froze for a moment, turned his head to look at the people present, and said: "The matter of this martial arts competition must not be leaked out, and those who violate military law will do it!" ”
When he said this, it was really domineering, and everyone present, whether it was Cao Pi Cao Zhi, or Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, including Xu Chu, they all bowed their hands: "No!" ”
Of course, you can't say it, and no one will believe it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Xuchang City in 201 AD, there were countless good young men who were both filial and ambitious, and soldiers who were also effectively loyal to Cao Cao, as well as many idealists who planned to abolish Cao Cao and support the Han Dynasty, and countless speculators who planned to kneel and lick Cao Cao to seek glory and wealth. But there will never be anyone who believes that thirteen-year-old Cao Zhang punched Xu Chu.
If this matter is spread out, no one will say that Cao Zhang is brave, but will say that Xu Chu patted Cao Cao's ass and deliberately lost to a thirteen-year-old child, and then it was a merciless whipping of Xu Chu's reputation.
People want faces, trees want bark, and Xu Chu will continue to serve the Cao family, if the message forces the whole family to go to the moat with a white cloth, where will they go to find such a fierce general who is brave and champion of the three armies?
Even if no one says that about Xu Chu, the rumor that "Cao Zhang is the reincarnation of a demon and has infinite power" is not good!
So everyone agreed.
Cao Cao said to Ye Ke: "Duting waits for Xu Gongming's army to be strictly organized, and there are 1,000 people under him who supervise the cavalry and use halberds, you can go and serve as the commander of Qu." ”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military system was chaotic, and Cao Cao's army establishment at this time was roughly six levels: department, qu, tun, team, shi, and wu. Wu has jurisdiction over five people, and has a military chief; Shizhi two troops, a total of ten people, set up a chief; The team has jurisdiction over five shes, a total of fifty people, and has a capital city.
Tun jurisdiction two teams, a total of 100 people, set up a tun general; Qu governs Wutun, a total of 500 people, set up a Qu chief; The ministry has jurisdiction over two songs, a total of 1,000 people, and a thousand governors, also known as tooth generals.
The ministry set up a battalion, 5,000 people, and set up a school inspector and lieutenant; The two battalions are an army, with a total of 10,000 men, and there are captains.
Although Ye Ke is Cao Cao's third son, since he is in the army, he has to follow the military law, does he have any merit, and being a Qu Chang who governs five hundred people is already very preferential to him, but Ye Ke doesn't care at all.
He just wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy as soon as possible, and kill nine million as soon as possible.
Three days later, outside the gate of Sikong Mansion, two soldiers came, two of them were tall, with straight waists, thick hands, and fierce spirits all over their bodies.
One of them glanced up at the gate of Sikong Mansion, and suddenly sneered: "Our Qu Chang used to live in Sikong Mansion, I thought he would open another mansion." ”
"General Chen Ya, Cao Quchang is the third son of the lord." The other tapped lightly.
"Hmph, I don't care what he's up to. If you are a son, how can you govern the tribe under me? Isn't it delaying the great cause of the lord! Chen snorted coldly.
When the person next to him saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that the tooth general next to him was called Chen Geng, who had come to defect since Cao Cao started his family, and was promoted from a pawn to a tooth general who commanded thousands of people, which can be said to have made great contributions to Cao Cao, that is, Cao Cao saw him and could call his name.
If he can continue to make contributions in the next war, Chen Geng may also be able to get a wife and a perfect ending for the inheritance of the prince after the lord Cao Cao unifies the world.
However, because Chen Geng was born at the bottom, he had quite a lot of military achievements, his personality was also quite upright, and he was a subordinate of Xu Huang, who was strict in governing the army, so he was very disdainful of some children of the family who went to the army to gild.
"Yu Zhubo, you said that a thirteen-year-old hairy boy just followed the lord to watch the battle, what are you doing in our army?"
Chen was even more angry.
It's no wonder that they want to come to the door to pick up the third son of the lord, and go to their own troops to be a little Qu Chang, who is replaced, they will not be too happy.
This is about to cross the Yellow River in the north, and then fight Yuan Shao, although the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao lost a big loss, but after all, his family is four generations and three dukes, deep-rooted, and the war in Japan will be very dangerous.
The third son of your Cao family came down to join the army at this time, and when the time comes, do we have to stay and protect you when the war starts? How do you get up to war? How to make a contribution? When the time comes, his third son pats his ass and leaves, and the others eat fragrant and spicy food, but your brother can only stare dryly and drink thin soup. But how will he give an account to the brethren?
"The lord has always attached importance to the military system, and he will definitely not delay the war because of the third son." Yu Zhubo groaned.
"Humph! Perhaps! Chen said.
Seeing that Chen didn't believe it, Lord Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He is an ordinary master in Xu Huang's army, so he naturally can't be hard with Xu Huang's love general, but he can't let this fierce general be too rigid when he sees the third son, after all, the third son is the lord's son-in-law, and he can't be slack.
So he said: "I heard that the third prince has been good at archery and driving since he was a child, and his arm strength is outstanding. ”
"That's even more outrageous!" Chen Geng's voice instantly rose to the sky. "I practiced martial arts at the age of seven, and I dared to go out of the mountains to join the lord at the age of eighteen, and now I have more than ten years, and I don't have too much experience in battle.
"He is a thirteen-year-old boy, no matter how talented he is, at most he only has some strength, and on the battlefield, his strength will dissipate with a meal."
While talking, the two handed over the official sign, entered the Sikong Mansion, and went to the courtyard where Ye Ke was under the leadership of the officials inside.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the two soon met Ye Ke.
Although Ye Ke will soon become a Qu Chang and is Chen Geng's subordinate, he is still the third son of the Cao family and belongs to the nobles. So the two of them bowed down and saluted: "I've seen the third son." ”
Ye Ke nodded. At this time, Yu Zhubo took a step forward and said: "Third son, go down to the ranks, and wait for a master in the army in Duting, and I am ordered to ask you to report in the army." ”
As he spoke, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, it was really that Cao Zhang, the third son of the Cao family, was too young, but at the age of thirteen, he was full of food and went to the army to train.
Ye Ke nodded, and gave a military salute to the two: "Since I joined the army today, the two of them are my superiors, Cao Zhang doesn't dare to be rude!" ”
His military salute was strong and powerful, without any pretentiousness, Yu Jie, and Chen Geng glanced at each other, and a trace of dumbness flashed in their hearts.
This third son is quite serious.
When the three of them saw the ceremony, Ye Ke left the mansion with the two and went to Xu Huang's army.
Along the way, Yu Jie said to Ye Ke: "Since the third prince treats each other with military courtesy, then I will be called Cao Quchang in the army." ”
Ye Ke nodded and said: "My father said that Duting is waiting for the army to be strictly organized, and there is the style of Zhou Yafu, even if the emperor is not allowed to drive in, this title of the third son, just forget about it." ”
Yu Zhubo nodded, and continued: "Since this is the case, then I will not be welcome." Don't hide it from Cao Quchang, a certain Duting Hou is the master of the army, mainly responsible for the money, food, ordnance and related matters of Chen Yajiang, the thousand-person governor, and the affairs in the army, Qu Chang but not know, can be asked. ”
Ye Ke smiled faintly and said, "No! ”
Yu Jie and Chen Geng glanced at each other, and a trace of contempt flashed again.
I went to report without asking anything, where is this joining the army, this is clearly an outing!
