Under the conditions of this era, it was not difficult to build a camp, but it could be completed in a few days, but as for this night, because of the urgency of time, it was only possible to build a simple car camp.

Of these 100,000 troops, only 70,000 can actually fight, and 30,000 are logistics personnel, camping, transporting grain and grass, washing and cooking, ...... so many people eat and chew, they must have enough logistics.

As for the chariot camp, it was to surround the carts carrying heavy grain and grass, and then dig trenches and pits outside the carts, and build some watchtowers near the barracks.

Time is urgent, and this is the only way to do it for a while.

As for the subsequent planting of fences, the expansion of the watchtower outwards, and the establishment of scout teams in shady areas, those are all things that need to be done later.

Cao Zhengzhi's ability is not only in his wisdom, but also in his overall planning ability, which is also first-class in this era.

The team of 100,000 people was huge, but he was able to arrange it in an orderly manner.

By the time it got dark, the whole camp was already presentable.

His camp was not a gathering of 100,000 people, but a battalion of about 5,000 men, separated from each other by a certain distance, so as to prevent any enemy from stealing the camp and causing chaos to the entire army.

At the same time, as long as there is a problem with one camp, the rest of the camps can be reinforced extremely quickly and copied from the three sides.

Such a pattern, even if there is chaos, will generally only mess up one camp and will not affect the overall situation.

Of course, this arrangement is also because it has just been set up in camp, and when it is needed, a large camp will be established as a center, and then many small camps will be distributed around.

In this way, it is easier to gather strength, and there are small camps for early warning, and at the same time, with large camps, the army also has a strong and powerful center, and various arrangements and instructions can be better implemented.

Although there are many benefits to a large camp, it takes a lot of time to build.

Here, how to build it depends on whether it is a blitzkrieg or a protracted war.

If the war is short, then the former, if it is long, then the latter.

But Cao Zheng knew that this battle must be a protracted war, and it was very necessary for him to station troops here and build a center, not only because the strength was more cohesive, but more importantly, it was also safer for himself.

As for the intention of surrender he showed before, it was just a foreshadowing, and it depends on the war later.

If Zhao Cheng's momentum is unstoppable, then he will vote directly, but if he is severely suppressed by the army of the imperial court, the so-called collaborator with the enemy, it is just a slander of a thief.

His greatest strength is his knowledge of current affairs.

At night, after drinking and eating, Cao Zheng did not go directly to sleep, but came to the middle camp, on top of one of the tallest watchtowers.

From here, if it's daytime, the whole camp can be seen.

As for now, only vague outlines can be seen, and the pots of bonfires, which are burning brightly, like stars falling on the earth.

He has seen a lot of such scenes, since he was a teenager, he began to march and fight, of course, naturally not from the small soldiers.

No matter what era it is, there are only a very small number of people who have grown from small soldiers to generals, and there are indeed such people, but in terms of quantity, they are far inferior to those generals who were already born illustrious.

The Cao family is naturally prominent, because when he started, he mastered a banner of men, that is, more than 200 people.

It's not that he can't be given more soldiers, this position is just a training for him, so that he can know how the bottom of the army works.

Ordinary officers, their purpose is only one, that is, to make meritorious service, and for Cao Zheng, it does not matter whether he has made meritorious service or not.

And that's exactly what happened.

Dangerous things are always done by officers and generals with no background, and things with great merit and little danger will always fall on his head.

In the past few years, he has climbed to the height of a small soldier, even if he has ten lives, he may not be able to stand on it.

The rules of the world are like this, even if you are on the battlefield, no matter how many knives you take and make great achievements, it is impossible for you to rise to the top, on the contrary, if you have too much credit, many people will tacitly suppress you......

And Cao Zheng has adapted to this rule, and he is like a fish in water, so he will always be on the side of vested interests and on the stronger side.

Therefore, the relationship with the Qingzhou family is very good, and between each other, various in-laws continue, and the family also reciprocates, optimistic about his future, and sends him money and food, soldiers and horses, generals, and strategists.

Therefore, he also has a very good relationship with the literati of Qingzhou, all kinds of courtesies, every New Year's holiday, he also visits the great Confucians, and the literati and Confucians, also return the favor, or promote his good reputation, or recommend his talented students to work under him......

Even, even if Yuan Chu publicly ridiculed him at the beginning, he wanted any garbage, but his reputation in the world was not ruined much, but he won the favor of some poor scholars.

Even some people can't help but think, he, Cao Zheng, is so polite to people who are born poorly, isn't it even more polite for people who are born well? !

So he had a reputation for being a thirsty candidate.

But if he is not close to the literati, as well as those great Confucians, then I am afraid that it will be a different situation, and everyone in the world will laugh at him Cao Zheng, hungry and hungry, and wild boars can't eat fine chaff......

After all, for those who have the right to speak, it can be said that both positive and negative are reasonable, as long as they want, the black can become white, the white can also become black, the hero can become the devil, and the demon can also become a hero......

For a long time, Cao Zheng has relied on his understanding of the rules of the world to become bigger and bigger, and it can be said that he has reaped all the benefits.

But now, in the past few years, he has found that the direction of the wind in the world is changing, and it is beginning to change in a direction that he does not understand, or it is difficult to understand.

It's not just the Southern Wilderness that is changing, but the eleven states in the world outside the Southern Wilderness are also changing.

With the sudden rise of firearms, the lowly businessmen now have a tendency to rise to the top, and this emergence is not about having more wealth, but about a higher status.

Originally, businessmen had money but no power, but now thanks to the court's large-scale sale of firearms to enrich the treasury, as long as there is money, you can buy firearms certified by the imperial court, if anyone dares to stop it, it is a rebellion.

In this case, the originally lowly businessman has legal power, and no matter what era it is, power is status.

This is also because Cao Zheng is not a modern person, not a traverser, otherwise he would know that this is the germ of the so-called big capital group......
