"Father! When we went there, Brother Berwen was still sharing the food himself, and then we had to go up to the mountains to gather materials and build huts for the people to live in. ”

"When the internal affairs are restored in Shouchun City, the officials take office, and all the people are settled before the winter solstice, Brother Bowen asked me to bring you a message."

Cao Ang immediately touched his head and smiled bitterly, "He also asked Ang'er to come and see you." ”

"What did he say?"

Cao Cao is in a good mood now, Xu Bowen can accept whatever he says, even if he wants to extract the matter of Ning'er and Xian'er again, Cao Cao is afraid that at this moment, he will agree.

After all, this son is really a man from heaven who helped my Cao family become a hero.

"My brother said that until the people's hearts are settled, I am afraid that they will be busy, and I am afraid that they will not have time to have a long talk with the lord and sit and discuss."

Cao Cao was disappointed, and he felt uncomfortable.

"I thought something was wrong."

Regretful.

"It's okay, you are busy with this matter, I am very relieved, I will naturally have the opportunity to talk at home, you go and tell him, when the time comes, I will entertain you with a family banquet, and order Ning'er and Xian'er to accompany you."

"Oh?!"

Cao Ang immediately raised his eyebrows.

If you say so, there are only five of them.

Do you really want to marry a lady every solar term?!

"Father is wise," but even though he was slightly stunned in his heart, Cao Ang still felt from the bottom of his heart that Brother Bowen must be firmly bound and become his own family to feel at ease.

It must not be poached by anyone else.

"As for Jiujiang and Huainan, I will leave it to you and Bowen to guard against Lu Bu for me, and not let him escape from Guangling."

"Whoa!"

"Well, go ahead."

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, and smiled calmly.

But in fact, the palm of the hand he was carrying was already damp with more sweat.

This is not because Cao Cao is nervous, but excited.

Cao Ang already has the will to win people's hearts, which means that he has truly grown.

Not only did he learn from Xu Zhen how to discipline himself and serve the public, how to be courteous to the corporal, and treat the people well.

I also learned that the real merit lies in the hearts of people.

In the future, I am afraid that this eldest son, who has been carefully cultivated for many years, will not be able to be stronger than himself in the way of using troops on the battlefield, but he will be able to go further...... Become the person who is more needed by the people of the world.

Cao Ang rode away on horseback, personally transported grain to the homeless camps in the southeast, and resettled the people with Xu Zhen.

After knowing about it.

Cao Cao's mood for a walk became more and more relaxed.

"No wonder, I said that the people in the city are gradually becoming scarce, and they have all gone to the camp of exiles."

"Hehe, this son, let's see if you're a little stupid? Like Xu Bowen, oops...... I don't know whether to be angry or happy," Cao Cao's steps were lighter, and he walked with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows fluttering, "It is naturally important to win the hearts of the people, but you should not give up your merits." ”

"In addition to the thieves who usurped the Han Emperor, that is also very important."

Tut.

Guo Jia sighed in his heart.

Here we go.

Compared to what he just said, it is not an emotion at all.

Now it's pure show-off.

"Lord, the eldest prince can have such a mind and care for the people, but it is also admirable!? If this word is spread in Xu Du, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will praise it greatly, and all the ministers will praise it. ”

"The people of the world should have more respect for the eldest prince."

"That's right!"

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded happily.

I don't want to hide it anymore, tired.

simply smiled from ear to ear, occasionally nodding affirmatively, and occasionally laughing at the sky, as if he was relieved to live.

If you can get a son like this, what more can you ask for?

Guo Jia peeked at Cheng Yu and didn't say anything, but fortunately, Cheng Yu was there, and he could pretend not to understand, pretending to be deaf and dumb in every word, and what he said seemed to be true.

In fact, it is very pleasing to the lord.

As they spoke, they toured to the main camp.

Cao Ren was sitting in the camp, and at this moment, more than a dozen troops and horses had been sent out from the northern and eastern cities to chase Yuan Shu.

And he learned the lesson of the last time and did not celebrate immediately.

Over the years, Cao Ren has followed what Cao Cao said, self-discipline has become a practice and has been pushed to the whole camp, and all soldiers have scrupulously abided by their duties, and never rashly celebrated their achievements until they were truly relaxed.

Therefore, he not only sent soldiers and horses to pursue, but also sent men to repair the city walls.

At the same time, he ordered his relatives to occupy all the houses in the city, so as to keep them intact, and distribute them among the officials or return them to the merchants and the people.

is also a strong chest and straight back, without the slightest idleness.

Walking with a majestic posture, giving orders majestically, the style has the posture of a general, so that the generals and generals under his command all respect and trust.

It wasn't until he saw Cao Cao arrive that a smile appeared on Cao Ren's face for the first time in a long time.

This time, in terms of military discipline and strict requirements for soldiers, Cao Ren can be said to have set an example, by no means like last time, after the victory in the war, he drank and had fun first, and was complacent about his achievements.

"Big brother!"

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded lightly and sat down on the main seat in the main tent of the big camp, at this time many generals were also there, busy all night, sending troops to hunt down Yuan Shu and find his whereabouts.

Just watching this scene, of course he was still satisfied.

In the military tent, the most proud person at this moment is Cao Hong.

He had a broad face and a thick body, standing straight in battle armor, and looked at Cao Cao with burning eyes, expecting words of praise.

Such a look, I don't know how much stronger and sharper than back then, the soldiers and horses who are waiting for the battle, at first glance, have the style of a victorious division.

"Moreover, when I attacked the east gate, there were so many casualties among the soldiers and horses, and the hard work was high, just the compensation and reward cost a lot, and the eldest brother asked me to lead the troops to collect the counties of Jiujiang, and they were also collected one by one, and there was no crime in the autumn to treat the people.

"This time, it must be the name of the people."

"Big brother! Now all the generals are chasing Yuan Shu, the crowd is excited, this battle is also a big victory, last night not only collected its remnants, but counted the gains one by one," Cao Ren immediately straightened his waist and reported to Cao Cao, "Just the war horses, more than 9,000 horses were collected!" ”

"Moreover, all of them are good horses in the prime of life, and our cavalry can grow again!"

War horses have been difficult to raise over the years, and Yuan Shu is still in a place like Jiujiang, so it must have been obtained by looting, or relying on the prestige of the family in the past, to ask for it from the nearby famous people.

To be able to save such a large cavalry family business, Yuan Shu estimated that he had spent all of it, and now it was all owned by Cao Cao.

And that's counting the horses that were lost after the Great War.

"Good!"

Cao Cao only said a good word, but he was not too happy.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "Not only war horses, but also 100,000 stones of grain, as well as countless armaments and ordnance, gold, silver and jade are piled up into mountains, thousands of cloth and clothes, and he still has 100,000 gold and countless books and books in this imperial city. ”

"Such an achievement, it is truly worth celebrating! This money is completely enough for us to repair the city wall and rebuild Shouchun as the important land, whoever beheads Yuan Shu, the ten thousand gold can be rewarded immediately! ”

"Yes, the soldiers will move forward so bravely, bravely and diligently, and now the farthest is afraid that they have been chased out for thirty miles to search, and they will definitely be able to bring Yuan Shu's head back!!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he took a big step forward, approached Cao Cao and hugged his fists and said: "Not only that, but maybe you can also get the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand." ”

"Well, hehehe......" Cao Cao chuckled softly.

glanced at Cao Ren and Cao Hong a few times left and right.

Behind him, Cheng and Guo, the two military advisors who accompanied the army, had always been unhappy, and they were extremely calm, mainly because they had heard what the eldest prince had gained.

For some reason, I always feel that these things are nothing.

Money, gold, costumes, ancient books.

Everything is now subsidized military funds, but if you can get the hearts of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the people, you can really gain a firm foothold in Jiujiang.

The Han Dynasty, which has the support of the people, is a dynasty.

The Zhong family, which does not have the hearts of the people, is just a dream of Yuan Shu.

At this time, Cao Cao said lightly: "Do you know what Bowen was doing last night? ”

"Huh?!"

It's him again!

How is he always there.

At this time, Xu Bowen was mentioned again?!

What else could he do, had he already secretly gone out to get Yuan Shu's head back?

Cao Ren fell silent.

Cao Hong lowered his head slightly resentfully, as if he was extremely impatient, and took two steps back to stand still.

When the eldest brother suddenly said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Is the Jiujiang in hand going to fly? Even if you want to give it to Xu Bowen, you have to hear what the reason is, and why can he get it?

Just by virtue of him occupying Hefei?

Hefei City, plus all the ferry fortresses on the south side, is only one-third of Jiujiang, why give it all to him, I have the remaining seven points in my hands!

Cao Cao sighed and said, "All of you generals are chasing Yuan Shu, for the glory and wealth I promised last night, the title of military attaché, and the fame in the Jiangnan area. ”

"However, since last night, Xu Bowen and Ziyu have distributed all the food and meat transported to the displaced places in the southeast camp, so that everyone who has lost their homes due to the war can have a bite to eat."

"Do you remember why the people were displaced in the first place, and what did they gather in the future?"

Cao Ren's expression was still stunned and sluggish, but when he heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and replied weakly: "Full stomach." ”

"Not bad!"

Cao Cao suddenly stood up, his eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at the generals in the tent.

Every time they met their eyes, they all bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at them.

At this moment, his extremely majestic voice sounded like a bell, "A full belly is gathered by people's hearts." ”

"We will attack the city with the atrocities of Yuan Shu and the benevolence of the Son of Heaven! Now that the city is broken, how can you only care about the garrison and defense of the soldiers in the army, and ignore the displacement of the displaced people?! ”

"If there is no food transported by Ziyu, and there is no Xu Zhen's original intention to remain unchanged for the people, I am afraid that those people who are dying of hunger will say that I Cao Cao is the same as Yuan Shu!"

This sentence, sonorous and powerful, is like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all generals.

Several people fell silent.

Cao Hong was even more ashamed or angry, and his whole face was swollen red because of this.

I was suffocating the fire in my belly.

"However, if the generals have merit, how can they be buried?" Cao Cao smiled in a blink of an eye, stood up and walked in front of Cao Hong, patted him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Zilian has worked hard and made great achievements, and his merits are among the top of the generals." ”

"Zixiao sits in the Chinese army, commands the soldiers and horses properly, advances and retreats to a degree, the army is strict, and the soldiers and horses are drilled to a degree, and this achievement is also the merit of the general."

"Zihe led the tiger and leopard to ride, responded to the army, raided and robbed the camp, but the cavalry was not good at attacking fortifications, so although the merit was not as good as the two, it was still hard work."

"The rest of the civil and military forces, each of them still has merits, but it is not you who can really lead Jiujiang County and calm people's hearts."

"Zilian, after returning to Xudu, I will make you a general, continue to lead the troops for me, in order to earn prestige, and the land of Jiujiang will be handed over to Xu Zhen and Ziyu to lead!"

"Big brother!"

Cao Hong immediately shouted, but couldn't say anything.

After these words, he naturally understood the meaning.

The hearts of the people of Jiujiang are now in the hands of Xu Zhen.

Besides, he still has Zi Zhen by his side, and giving it to Xu Zhen is equivalent to giving it to Cao Ang.

Naturally, he can't take it hard, and the only advantage is that he is awarded the title of general, and the soldiers and horses sacrificed in this battle in the future can also be made up.

Or maybe even more in the camp.

"Good!"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Hong suddenly responded in a deep voice.

Good you Xu Bowen, buy people's hearts!

It's really a good means, so many civil and military people never thought of it, and they actually let you do it!

"In this case, you all do your duty," Cao Cao clapped his hands, preparing to go out of the tent, "and when the armies of all walks of life converge in Shouchun, we will prepare to return to the court." ”

"Zixiao, use the proceeds of the war, within ten days, the city wall will be repaired and intact, and then Ziyu should be able to garrison the army here."

"Then the farmland will be restored, so that water conservancy can be built in the spring of next year and internal affairs can be implemented."

"Whoa!"

Cao Ren hugged his fists and bowed.

has no decadence, and still maintains the demeanor of a general.

After Cao Cao left, he went to Cao Hong's side, grabbed his shoulders and persuaded: "Okay, it's nothing more than a Jiujiang County." ”

"Damn! I just can't get angry! The city that my soldiers fought with their lives! Why is it all his Xu Bowen's good deeds!? ”

"I'm not convinced!"

"If you don't accept it, hold it back, and then stand up with your own merits in the future," Cao Ren frowned slightly, and his tone became a little serious, and said: "What is Bowen ordering his son to win people's hearts for?" ”

"Yes—"

Cao Hong immediately realized, his eyes shook a few times, and he understood it all at once.

This one is the one who will win the hearts and minds of the people in the future and take over the big responsibility!

No wonder the lord will give Jiujiang to them, which means that a year later, this place will become the glorious exploits of Xu Zhen and Cao Ang!

This is clearly used to increase Cao Ang's reputation.

What are you going to rob your brothers, this is the place that the next lord wants!

I see.

That's really no way to fight.

"Alas!"

Cao Hong suddenly sighed, slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "If it's for Ziyu, then it's worth it!" ”

"As long as it's not Xu Bowen alone!"

Cao Ren relieved a few more words, which can be regarded as a little cheering up Cao Hong, although the battle broke through the east gate, although it relied on Zhuge Liang's plan, but the strategy can work, and it is also a battle of soldiers and horses, how can there be no hard work.

……

The southeast stream is private.

It's getting into the night.

Xu Zhen gave out the last bit of food, looked at the long line of homeless people, wiped the sweat from his head, and squatted on the stone next to him.

With his hands in his wide sleeves, he happily watched the people who poured in.

At the same time, there was a prompt sound of the system in my ears.

[Open a warehouse and release grain, never forget the original intention, and get self-discipline +120]
