Chapter 20: The tiger and leopard are riding well, Wenbo didn't lie to me!
This year, from the end of spring to the end of the summer, the whole Yanzhou was extremely busy.
But people are surprisingly surprised to find that they don't feel tired.
Because the wasteland has really been renovated and replanted, the growth of the land is excellent, and it just so happens that God also gives face.
There was not much rain in the summer of this year, but it was not really a big drought, and the growth in the fields was not bad.
According to the reports of the officials who inspected the various places, there will definitely be a good harvest this year.
In the absence of a bumper harvest on the land, we can store 10 times more grain than last year.
This is really the result of the unity of the army and the people.
Therefore, the people everywhere naturally had no objections, and even Bian Rang could no longer gather celebrities to make Cao Cao the state pastor.
He could only scold Cao Cao a few words after drinking, so he was sent to prison and beheaded.
Bian Rang's death, coupled with Cao Cao's imminent harvest of grain and grass, won the hearts of hundreds of people, and all the families in Yanzhou naturally remained silent.
No one dared to say a bad word about Cao Cao anymore, and they didn't dare to talk about his grandparents, the eunuch Cao Teng.
Even if the scholars hate the eunuchs and their families.
I won't lose my mind.
Cao Cao fulfilled his promise, the promise of the resettlement of a million people, there will be no more criticism from the people in the territory, and the remaining thieves from Qingxu and Xu will no longer have to continue to make trouble.
For them, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was an uprising that they had to participate in, otherwise they would be affected by natural and man-made disasters, and even their entire families.
But it's also a big gamble that doesn't know when it will end.
This year, they have made the right bet, and after the autumn harvest, the Qingxu and Xu people in various places will not only be able to get grain.
You can also take the materials of the mountains and forests by yourself, build a collective village, live by the fields, and get water is also naturally convenient.
After being in charge of the Tuntian affairs in person, Zao Ji put forward a number of feasible strategies.
Homeopathically, these people were placed near the fields.
As a result, Yanzhou began to prosper and became a major agricultural land.
In the eyes of outsiders, a million mouths for food have become hundreds of thousands of laborers, who will continue to stock up on grain for Yanzhou in the next few years.
What surprised Cao Cao even more was that.
Qingxu descended and really returned to more than 70,000 people!
Although they had no armaments and no soldiers, they were still willing to wait for the drill, and even at first they did not ask for money, but only food to feed their families.
From a thief who overthrew the Han Dynasty, he has become a soldier of the Han Dynasty!
It was only because of the lack of blades and armor that these soldiers and horses were only temporarily trained in fists and feet, physique, or for labor to obtain nearby minerals.
Dig for iron, silver and other ores.
And they are only willing to listen to Cao Cao's words, and no one else will admit it.
Unless it was someone appointed by Cao Cao himself.
For a while, these people became Cao Cao's happy troubles.
But even so, the experience of taking over the remaining thieves by guerrilla warfare made Cao Cao more familiar with the tactics of cavalry raids.
It's also handy.
Therefore, after settling down this time, the assets of the thieves and soldiers, plus the subsidy of the scholars, and the taxes from the autumn harvest, Cao Cao could exchange them for a large number of high-quality horses.
In addition, there are many ores, gold, silver, and iron mined by labor, and many craftsmen have collected them.
He wanted to build a team of elite riders.
A combination of light riding and heavy riding.
There is no need to spend too much, and they can cooperate with each other and advance and retreat with each other.
The light cavalry is responsible for the safari, and the heavy cavalry is responsible for charging and covering, but this commander...... Who is it better to hand it over?
Cao Cao has many candidates in his heart, and the first thing that comes to mind is Xun Xiao.
At this moment, Xun Xiao was compiling the grain and grass record book in front of him and summarizing the official documents from all over the world.
This kid......
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at it secretly for a while, and suddenly remembered what Xun Yu said when he first came.
Excellent martial arts, good at imperial arts, and it is best to ride horses.
Good horse, this kid likes to ride horses, and he has good skills.
He should have known cavalry, and had a great interest in it.
"Wen Bo," Cao Cao smiled kindly, "you say, how about I use this year's tax income to form a cavalry battalion?" ”
Xun Xiao raised his head, his expression was very calm, and he arched his hand quite perfunctorily, "With your fame." ”
"It's not an exaggeration to form a cavalry army to the west."
Cao Cao: "......"
Tut.
Forget it, this kid doesn't seem to be interested.
And looking at this tone, there seems to be a lot of resentment, is it too busy lately?
Heaven is gone, I am not secretly exalting you to let you get close to the main account, what a good opportunity.
If someone else is going to do something, he would have already brought me out of the flowers every day, and this kid didn't say a word of flattery!
No, I don't believe it, I'm not qualified to let you belong to Cao Cao, one day I want you to give me advice willingly!
And not through ...... By writing a letter!
"Well, that's right," Cao Cao said perfunctorily.
The scene was a little embarrassing, but Xun Xiao had already buried her head and continued to be busy.
At this time, when Cao Ren and Cao Hong heard this, they immediately became interested, and as soon as the two looked at each other, one of them immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "What the lord said is extremely true. ”
Cao Ren was a little excited, smiled and leaned closer and said, "Big brother, you have taught me before, there are not many soldiers and horses, and there are strong generals, and they are better than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers." ”
"Since the remaining thieves of Qingxu are willing to join, we have a full 70,000 soldiers, divided into elite soldiers and reserve soldiers and horses."
"If you gradually form it in the future, you can become stronger and stronger!"
That's a good point, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.
"Under my command, there is just a shortage of fine horses, if it is incorporated into the camp, it will be easy to make contributions in the future, and it is guaranteed to be comparable to the Xiliang Flying Bear back then!"
Cao Ren immediately patted his chest, and Cao Cao was stunned.
Raising her head, she glanced at him with a slight disgust.
There are outsiders here, can you show this bandit appearance when you only have your own family!
Look at the monkey's anxious look!
Today's treasury has at least thousands of elite horsemen, and the combination of light and heavy, the geometry of combat power is unknown, these yellow turban thieves from Qingxu are all experienced in a hundred battles.
All of them are cunning veterans, how can they be weak when formed.
But such soldiers and horses can't all be handed over to Zixiao.
Zixiao has the talent of a general, but he also wants to be a commander in the future, and now ......
The generals under his command must be promoted.
Xun Xiao is impossible, who else......
Among the clan relatives, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are still young.
Ang'er is even more unlikely.
Before the great cause is accomplished, he brought his own son, and spread the word on how to serve the public, he should find a person who is now famous and quite convincing.
Clan ......
Cao Chun.
Well, it's time to make good on that promise.
Moreover, Cao Chun is known to the whole camp when he reads the Spring and Autumn Festival at night, and his prestige is admirable.
After practicing day and night, he still found time to study the art of war without resting.
Such a general, can he not be successful in the future?
"Well, what Zixiao said is very much, I intend to form a fine horse, named Tiger and Leopard, which means to take the power of the tiger, the agility of the leopard, and the combination of light riding and heavy riding."
"By, Zihe will do it, select 5,000 people from the Qingzhou soldiers to enter the camp, lead the war horses, and build the camp."
"In the future, even if he is the commander of the tiger and leopard ride, he will be directly subordinate to me."
In other words, Cao Chun, the commander of Cao Chun, was directly under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao, and he was still the ability of the guard, but his army had expanded to 5,000 people and was well-equipped......
For a while, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were suddenly stunned.
Why should I rely on him to be a doorman, a commander!?
Just rely on the night to read the spring and autumn!
At this moment, Cao Chun's mouth opened wide, his eyes were a little confused, and his vision was slightly blurred.
Recently, because I can't calm down, I've been suffering from insomnia, and I've been in a daze with a book for too long.
The spirit has been bad.
I thought that there was no hope of making meritorious contributions in recent years......
It turned out that I was really ...... It's really coming?!!
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Xun Xiao.
Wenbo, it's amazing, did you foresee this!!
Or is it ...... What did the eldest brother say to Wenbo in the letter?
