Cao Cao, who was asleep, naturally didn't know these actions of Zhao Ji, although he could expect that there would be this day sooner or later from the moment he decided to take Master Li away, but when this day would come, Cao Cao couldn't predict.

An hour later, Cao Cao woke up from his dream, looking at Pan Jinlian curled up in his arms, Cao Cao gently pulled out his arm and did not wake her up.

Walking out of the house, Cao Cao looked at the sun, and then hurried to the west of the city.

Although it was already spring, the cold wind was still cold, and Cao Cao, who felt a chill, unconsciously tightened his clothes.

When he arrived at the school grounds, Cao Cao found that the competition had begun for a while.

Wu Song found Cao Cao's figure and came over: "Brother, the game has been going on for two rounds, and there have been no accidents or surprises, Wang Wu, Gao Chong, and Wang Meng have all won." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "I know, it's hard work, you just continue to organize the competition, I'll go to Tian Chao to take a look." ”

"Yes."

Cao Cao walked on the school grounds, and everyone he met was saluted and greeted him excitedly.

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, he knew that Yanggu Tuanlian had been deeply marked by him at the beginning of its formation, and it would be easy to manage and deploy in the future.

From a distance, Cao Cao saw Tian Chao gesturing in front of a group of people, obviously teaching the experience of archery.

"Tian Chao, are you busy?" Cao Cao walked up to Tian Chao and spoke.

Tian Chao put down his work and hurriedly came to Cao Cao's side.

Under Tian Chao's command, the archers behind him also stood still at this moment and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Lord Dujian." ”

Cao Cao looked at everyone, although the clothing and weapons are not uniform, but they have begun to take shape, and over time, people will not dare to underestimate them.

The most important thing is that in less than a day, Tian Chao can already make the bow and arrow salute in unison, which shows that he does have the talent to lead the army.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at Tian Chao and praised him sincerely: "Yes, the momentum is magnificent, with the appearance of a tiger and a wolf, I am relieved that the bow and arrow will be handed over to you." ”

Tian Chao hurriedly replied: "Lord Metropolitan Supervisor, you look up to me, and arrange such an important position for me, I will definitely repay me with a straw title." I will do my best to train the bow and arrow well, and I will never disgrace the adults. ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll be relieved." ”

In fact, Cao Cao wanted to come and see Tian Chao, that is, he still had questions about Tian Chao's ability to lead troops, and he wanted to hear his next plans.

Tian Chao's eyes rolled, and Shi Li said, "My lord, I was just about to report to you." ”

"Our bows and arrows have now completed the selection, and I have screened out a hundred people according to the requirements, all of whom are good archers, although they can't make arrows without missing shots, and the hit rate is not bad."

"During this time, I elected the officer, the team leader, the deputy team leader, the left and right Qian banners, etc., and the bows and arrows have been preliminarily built, but they are just ......"

Cao Cao heard what Tian Chao said, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Tian Chao observed Cao Cao's expression and said cautiously: "Yes!" As you can see, too, bows and arrows are not uniformly equipped at present, and the consumables used in daily training are not sufficient. My lord, don't you think? ”

Cao Cao knew what Tian Chao wanted to say, so he waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't worry about these things, I have my own arrangements." ”

"When all the selections are completed and the Yanggu group training is officially completed, I will start to solve the military expenses, equipment, weapons, etc., and you will relax, strengthen training, and temper your skills."

After hearing this, Tian Chao was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "Yes!" ”

Having said that, Cao Cao also knew that the army spent money like water, and for the time being, regardless of equipment and horses, the daily food and drink of more than 500 people was a large expense.

Before the formation of the Yanggu County League Training, Cao Cao allocated 5,000 yuan of the money raised for the group training.

After returning from Tokyo, the county commander He Fei allocated another 2,000 guan to the group training, and at present, the Yanggu group training has a total of 7,000 copper coins.

These 7,000 guan are a huge wealth in ordinary people's homes, but if they are used for group training, they are absolutely not enough.

Cao Cao inquired and learned that the price of a good horse on the market was more than 100 guan, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to arm the entire regiment with these 7,000 guan.

The matter of the war horse can be delayed and solved, but it is impossible for the soldier to fight with the enemy hungry, so with the successful formation of the regimental training, it is urgent to solve the military salary.

Besides, there are people who form a group to practice, but weapons must always be equipped, right? If you don't have any weapons to take advantage of, what are you talking about defending Yanggu with your bare hands.

Cao Cao still remembers when he talked about Yang Zhi with Zhang Qing, and he once mentioned that when Yang Zhi was down, he sold the ancestral treasure sword in Jingshi, asking for 3,000 yuan.

These seven thousand guan are only afraid that they will not even be able to take advantage of a weapon in their hands, thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed secretly.

In fact, Cao Cao did not think about the problem of military spending, and he knew that if he wanted to solve this problem, he did not have many options.

Either the old trick was repeated and the squire raised money, or the support of Yanggu County was enlisted, or the Dongping Mansion was requested.

Cao Cao thought about it, and there were only these three roads.

But among the three options, Cao Cao's first choice is the first two.

Cao Cao knows very well that he has a short mouth and a soft hand, if he seeks support from Dongping Mansion, then the independence of Yanggu Group Training will definitely be greatly affected, and it will be difficult for Cao Cao to disobey when the time comes.

Cao Cao had already made up his mind in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that there was nothing he could do, he would not take this step easily.

The breeze blew, interrupting Cao Cao's thoughts, he looked at the bow and arrow capital in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the bow and arrow capital, I hope that you can practice your skills under the leadership of Tian Chao and contribute your strength to the defense of Yanggu." ”

"I promise you that I will definitely give you the opportunity to make contributions and glorify your ancestors."

"For the sake of your wives and children, I hope you will be strict with yourself, abide by military discipline, prove your strength on the battlefield, and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone in the bow and arrow capital was inspired and eager to try, and then a thunderous roar sounded: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The sound of killing shook the sky, spreading to every corner of the school field, and the soldiers looked at the bow and arrow capital one after another, and became enthusiastic and energetic due to their infection.

Wu Song walked over at this time and said in Cao Cao's ear: "Brother, the selection of the infantry army has come to an end, and there is only one game left. ”

"Huh? How could it be so fast? Cao Cao asked puzzled.

Cao Cao estimated that the selection of infantry troops, with a large number of people, would not end until at least tomorrow, and it should not end so soon.

Wu Song explained: "My brother doesn't know, Wang Wu and Gao are outstanding, and they win easily every time, and the soldiers in their group have given up participating in the competition, and they have spontaneously recommended them to be the deputy heads. ”
