In the end, no matter what you do, you need to think twice.

"Hey, this thing is really annoying, what do you think those soldiers and ruffians think? If you want to make a scene at this time, it will only increase the trouble. ”

Cao Ren held his head in his hands and squatted on the ground helplessly.

The surrounding area is his own family, and he is too lazy to pay attention to anything.

After all, it's not the first time for everyone to get along, not to mention, although Cao Pi is the lord at the moment, he has never put on a shelf in front of the two.

Therefore, the habit of several people to speak has never changed.

"Who says it's not, a whole 50,000 people, to say the least, a million gold, where can we find so much money?"

This sudden millions of severance payments is not a trivial matter for Xuchang.

"A million gold······ Alas, Fang Caizhi has already counted, only a little, but even so, we have to take it out! ”

That being said, but looking at Cao Ren, who was so decadent that he was sitting on the ground, he could know that this matter was quite difficult.

What's more, even if they can come up with millions of severance pay, it is not a preferential treatment for the 50,000 army, after all, these Qingzhou soldiers have made great contributions to the army.

In the middle of the night, inside the camp.

The soldiers stood crookedly, listless, with drooping eyebrows.

Since they took off their armor, they no longer regarded themselves as qualified warriors.

Anyway, in recent years, the military and civilians have been stationed in the fields, and even if they don't fight, they have to go to the fields to farm, but now that they have no shackles of being soldiers, there is no problem at all when they return home to farm or something.

Listening to Cao Pi's lengthy speeches on the high platform such as thanks, gratitude, and remembering the monarchs in this life, everyone only felt irritable.

"It's still over, isn't it just a little severance pay? If you can give it, what's the use of saying so much? ”

"That is to say, now that the lord is dead, what's the use of saying so much? Everyone should disperse, and if you go back early, you can help your family cultivate some land and grow some food. ”

Several soldiers leaned back and forth and muttered quietly. The words are quite disrespectful.

"Hey, how long do you think he can speak? I guess when the autumn harvest comes, we may not be able to get out of this camp! ”

Another soldier who joined in the chat laughed teasingly, and from time to time he was carrying a pebble under his feet.

As soon as these words came out, they caused a small range of laughter.

After all, summer has only just begun, and the autumn harvest is still a few months away.

With such a commotion, the guards who stood with their heads held high around became more and more unhappy.

Especially the few people led by Cao Hong, their already reluctant faces were rampant, and the hands holding the spears were even more squeaky.

This group of Qingzhou soldiers is really bold, and they rely on their own military merits on weekdays, and no one pays attention to them.

Nowadays, they are looking for trouble in groups. The appearance of asking for money is comparable to the crossing of locusts, which is really unreasonable!

However······ They'll be able to run rampant for a while.

After sending them away with money, there will be no more Qingzhou soldiers staying in this big camp.

After a while, Cao Pi fought with the increasingly fierce eyes of the two sides, and finally said the most critical and important point - severance pay.

"Thinking of the past achievements of the monarchs, the Han today gave 50,000 troops and millions of gold as severance pay, which is also a part of my Han's heart to the monarchs, and I will invite you to the quartermaster department later——"

"What? Million gold? If this is calculated, there will be only twenty taels of gold per person, which is also considered a heart? ”

"Yes, how much credit have we made over the years to follow the Han Dynasty to fight in the south and the north, how can you send it with just twenty taels of gold?"

"Where is this intention? It's a joke! ”

“······”

Before Cao Pi finished speaking, the Qingzhou soldiers below were dissatisfied.

"It's a ridiculous joke! I knew that today, I shouldn't have come to Dahan in the first place! Who to fight with or not? ”

"That's right, just twenty taels of gold, it's really enough, why don't you call us flowers? If I had known that there were only twenty taels, who would still be here to listen to you talk so much? ”

"Who says it's not, Bai has been in the sun for so long and gone."

“······”

As he spoke, some of the indignant people shook their hands and left, and then more and more people strode towards the gate of the camp.

It's just that before leaving, none of them forgot to go to the quartermaster office to get money.

The mighty army of 50,000 swaggered out of the barracks with luggage on their backs after leaving the quartermaster's office.

The lively scene frightened the people in Xuchang City, and they thought that the army was going to fight.

After learning the true situation, within half a day, the news that 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers had unloaded their armor and returned to the field spread throughout Xuchang City.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Pi also learned the news, so he sulked.

I didn't think about the tea and dinner, and I lost my temper inexplicably in the middle of the night, so scared that all the servants in the house didn't dare to breathe.

"Tell me what I'm doing all this for? Hey, the severance pay that I finally got was given to them, yes, I also know that this money is not much, but the money spent on fighting every year is more, and I think I am worthy of them. ”

"But what about them? I knew that there would be a war again soon, but I wanted to go home regardless of it, and I agreed under pressure, but what about them? Not only is he not considerate, but he also ruined my reputation outside, and if this continues, I am afraid that the world will say that I have been picked! ”

"That's really······ Out of reason! ”

The more Cao Pi spoke, the more angry he became, and when his wife saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

It's just that this lady is just the daughter of an ordinary clan, and she is neither gentle nor intelligent, and her persuasion is dry, and it is not of any use.

Listening to the other party's repeated topics without any nutrition, Cao Pi was even more stunned.

The next day, Cao Pi, who was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night, had his head buzzing, and he had never slowed down, and he had a bit of gnashing of teeth at Qingzhou Bing.

If you want to manage it, you can't be too strict, no matter what, you can't say it, give more money, don't say it's uncomfortable, it's hard to do, if it's less, you have to be blamed and ridiculed.

This one is not good, maybe there will be no soldiers who will follow him in the future.

When Cao Ren and Xiahoudun came to the study to prepare for the discussion, Cao Pi was still angry.

At this time, half of his body was trembling unconsciously, his teeth were constantly fighting, and his sleepless face was hung with deep eye bags and eye circles, which was quite terminally ill.

Speaking of which, Cao Pi has had a miserable life for more than a month.

Because of his father's death, he had to kneel in front of Cao Cao's mourning hall every day and cry for a while, even if he didn't find a memory to cry to this day, so he had to howl.

There were several times before, and he was crying halfway through when he suddenly remembered those uncontrollable Qingzhou soldiers, and suddenly stopped howling.

More recently.

As soon as he thought of the disrespect in the words of those Qingzhou soldiers and the disdainful look on their swaggering when they left Xuchang, he couldn't help but be angry.

"Ziheng, what's wrong with you? The departure of the Qingzhou soldiers is also a good thing for us, and as for the one million severance pay, you should be treated as a reward for the three armies. ”

Xiahoudun persuaded softly.

"Yes, those people don't obey discipline at all, and they used to be able to deter the three armies by killing a few people, but now, a full 50,000 people, it's not like we can kill them, if they die, I'm afraid that the entire Xuchang City will be in chaos."

"That's right, if Xuchang City is in chaos, then our life will be even worse, and those soldiers outside will be afraid that they will be terrified all day long, and they will no longer dare to work for us."

"Now that they're gone, we can recruit again, expand the barracks, and build an army that is completely under our control, and then step up training in the future, and then disperse these people to other armies."

"Well, in this way, I'm afraid our military strength will be a little stronger next year!"

“······”

Under the persuasion of Cao Ren and Xiahou Dian, the anger in Cao Pi's heart gradually subsided.

And with that comes a burning ambition.

After weighing the pros and cons left and right, he gradually figured it out without anger.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although a lot of money has not been spent and has not landed a good reputation, the scope of the impact is not large.

Moreover, in addition to the 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, and their opinion of themselves is the most important thing.

From now on, as long as you learn to be as frugal as the old lady Cao Song, and at the same time make the Cao clan more diligent and thrifty, you can always save a lot of money.

You can use the money you have saved to reward the meritorious people.

There is no arrogance and indulgence in oneself, diligence and thrift at home, courtesy and virtuous corporal to the outside, and generosity to subordinates······

As long as he can persist for a year and work up and down, Cao Pi fully believes that his reputation of being slandered by those 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers can be completely reversed!

At that time, the people will not only know their good name, but also think of their great deeds of spending millions of dollars to pay severance pay to meritorious officials.

In this way, not to mention that the people will not have other thoughts, even their own prestige may be even higher.

Maybe you can get the reputation of a Ming Jun!

"Actually, we just need to get through the most difficult year now, in addition to internal thrift, we can also use the steady stream of income from all over the territory to expand the treasury ······"

Sima Yi also started from a humanistic perspective at this time, combined with the current situation, and gave Cao Pi a lot of ideas.

"When your prestige rises next year, it will be the time for you to be crowned King of Wei and add nine tins!"

"At that time, the world's soldiers and horses are at your fingertips, and then you will go north to Xiliang Ma Teng, and when your reputation rises again, Xiaoer Xiyu will no longer be your opponent!"

Sima Yi's words won Cao Pi's heart.

He and Cao Pi are also teachers and friends, and they have the same heart, and the two have been together for several years, and they have been with each other most of the time.

Yes, the person who knows Cao Pi the most has to be him.

After he finished speaking, the only little fire in Cao Pi's heart was extinguished.

The follow-up affairs have been properly arranged, and it is time to go to the father's funeral hall and cry a few more seriously.

Of course, that's what he should do.

Although his father is not kind to him, but in the end he is a generation of heroes, if it weren't for him to get rid of the traitors and help the Han family, where would he come from today?

Therefore, whether it is for gratitude, or for his prestige and ambition, Cao Cao's mourning hall, he should go to it for a while.

When the mood is smooth, everything will naturally be solved.

However, in just a few days, the people in Xuchang City were a little less prejudiced against Cao Pi.

However, just when everyone thought that the days could be calm day by day, a sudden news made Cao Pi angry again.

"Wei Gong ······"

Hua Xin lingered outside the door for a long time, but he never knew how to speak.

Looking at the generals and lords in the room, after hesitating for a long time, he finally took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Then, after receiving the signal, he walked forward quickly.

Looking at his hesitant appearance, everyone in the mourning hall looked at each other.

Especially the people of the clan.

Why is Hua Xin so flustered? Isn't there too many official documents that need to be reviewed recently?

No, even if there are too many official documents, he won't stop talking like this.

"Hua Xin, what happened? How can you be so worried? ”

"Something is straightforward, why pretend to be mysterious?"

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Could it be that something big happened in the army?" ”

"This ······ Sort of······"

Hua Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Today, I got a piece of news, saying that all the 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers who left a few days ago went to Xuzhou, and it seems that they plan to defect to Xiyu······"

"How is this possible?"

"Fuck, a bunch of bastards!"

"Lao Tzu knows that these Qingzhou soldiers are scoundrels! Ruffian hooligans! ”

Before Hua Xin's words fell, several generals present couldn't help but scold.

One by one, they were so angry that they were foaming at the mouth, that is, the 50,000 army was not in front of them at the moment, otherwise they would have the idea of eating their flesh and drinking their blood.

Cao Pi was stunned in the noisy insults, and an indescribable grievance suddenly rose in his heart after he had been calm for a few days.

In an instant, the grievance swept through his body like a tide, and his face turned blue at this moment.

Immediately, "woo~~~" got up.

Then, he turned his head and knelt in front of Cao Cao's spirit card, tears raining down.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

Although Cao Pi didn't cry, he still let everyone see his broken heart.

In other words, the last time I saw Cao Pi so sad, it should have been the day I saw his father die, right?

Oh no!

He didn't cry so much that day.

However······

Don't say it's Cao Pi, the corners of Cao Ren and Xiahoudun's mouths are also twitching, and there are faint bursts of tears in their eyes.

Damn, when this kind of thing happens, it's hard not to cry even if it's a strong man with five big and three thick!

Those stinky ruffians, just go by yourself, it's not a fucking thing to ask for a million gold.

If it's just that, it's fine, but those bastards are so shameless, they really don't recognize people when they lift their pants.

turned his head and ran to Xuzhou, and went to the territory of Xiyu.

At such a distance, if you really have such a fucking spare time, why don't you move the treasury to the enemy?

Is this something that people can do?

······

Xiapi, Dayingkou.

The Qingzhou soldiers met again after a long time, and they were all excited and teary-eyed.

"I'll fuck you bastard, shit, Cao Gong just left, and you went to others."

"Haha, I already knew that you weren't good birds, sure enough."

"Tell me, what are you rebels doing here?"

“······”

Inside the camp, the Qingzhou soldiers complained mercilessly, while the Qingzhou soldiers outside the camp did not give a cent.

"Fuck your uncle's rebels, can you talk? See? Lao Tzu has already unloaded his armor and returned to the field, and now he is an ordinary person, what's wrong? Ordinary people can't join the army? ”

"That's it, you control the sky and the earth, and you still care about Lao Tzu shit and fart?"

"Hehe, that's a good point, I can tell you, Lao Tzu came today with a severance pay of twenty taels of gold, and you should pay attention to me!"

"If you don't know how to speak, shut up, we are the first to bring money to join the army this year, plus Lao Tzu's unique riding skills, you can steal the fun!"

“······”

It can be seen that although the two groups of people spoke unceremoniously and poked each other's lung tubes, they still had some feelings for each other.

Speaking of which, the idea of these 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers who came from afar is also quite simple.

At the beginning, he followed Cao Cao because he was not only a corporal of Lixian, but also brave and resourceful in battle, and of course, the most important thing was that he was also quite precious to them.

The elite is the elite, and it is not a vanguard that anyone can be a pioneer to send to death.

But others don't think so.

Especially the other generals in the Cao clan, the only ones they love the most are the cronies and soldiers and horses of the headquarters that they have spent money to cultivate.

As for them, they are completely free-range, unnoticed and unmanaged.

This is the root cause of their frequent troubles and the convulsions of the soldiers of other armies.

Of course, in the final analysis, it was because Cao Cao valued them too much at the beginning, which led to a gap in treatment and life at the moment, which made everyone unhappy.

I think that at the beginning, when Cao Cao was there, the Qingzhou soldiers could almost walk sideways in the army, and when they took advantage of the wicked people to sue first, they could always get the comfort and reward of the lord.

On the contrary, the soldiers who were bullied by them could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs every time.

But now, Cao Cao is gone, and the biggest backer has fallen, not to mention that they are as arrogant and domineering as before, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to even be honest and responsible.

No way, who let the people who used to bully too much.

Under such circumstances, even if the Qingzhou soldiers were sad about Cao Cao's death, they would never dare to stay in the Han military camp.

Is this a proper death-seeking?

Since the Han military camp was unreliable, everyone had to find another way out.

In such a situation, the only one who can be regarded as a lifesaver by them is the same baby Qingzhou soldier's play.
