Chapter 138: Cao Ying no longer has Xun Xiao
In Runan City, the displaced people have gradually joined these days, and the scholars and villagers in various places have been informed of this situation by Xu Chu in person, and the announcement will be informed.
Xun Xiao had a rare few days of relaxation and leisure, as for Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the two talented people who had a strange plan to run the country knew that the scribes still felt a little dazed.
It's really that easy.
I couldn't have imagined it before.
After all, they are not very familiar with the situation in Runan, and they still rely on intelligence and scouts to constantly probe, and collect news along the way, so that they can spy a little.
But Xun Xiao has always been in the chest.
Inside the Runan City Office.
Xun Xiao sat on the main seat, writing quietly, next to Wang Er and Dian Wei, Zhao Yun was still the same as usual, training recruits day and night.
But this time he's not alone.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are training together, these are honest and hardworking people, and they also understand that merit will not be easy and lazy, and they can be obtained by lying down.
If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must keep forging ahead, and courage and diligence are the right way.
On the other hand, Guo Jia and Jia Xu haven't slept well for a long time.
The main thing is that I don't understand what Xun Xiao is still writing when he has reached this point.
Didn't you say you wouldn't write letters?
Can't help it, huh?
"Second uncle, the news of Runan's rebellion has been sent to Xudu."
"I guess it'll be there today."
"And now in Runan, population is the biggest problem, and with a large number of displaced people, it is difficult for us to organize manpower to prepare for next year's spring ploughing."
"Local ...... Well, you didn't find the so-called talents and warriors in the field...... But we found a few horse dealers who were willing to fund our horses."
"In terms of food, I got tens of thousands of stone of grain from the Gepi army, as well as more than 3,000 pairs of armor, tens of thousands of spears and swords and other blades, and countless farm tools."
"Tell me the bill?"
Xun Xiao raised his head and stared at Xun You.
"I don't know? It's been very rewarding."
It is indeed a lot of gains, but the question in front of him now is what to do with Xu Chu's more than 3,000 people and the more than 30,000 soldiers who surrendered to Ge Pina.
How do I escalate?
It is not convenient for him to recruit troops, Cao Cao gave him the task of leveling the thieves and eliminating the chaos, and now that the rebel army has fallen, the income should be reported as merit, and then go to ask the Son of Heaven for favor.
But that's a pity.
strengthened the entire Cao family's soldiers and horses, and he didn't leave anything behind.
If you let your nephew take in these soldiers and horses, and they belong to the army of Runan, it is the army of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the soldiers and horses of the Cao family, and if there is a war in the future, they will still be transferred to the front line.
Besides, they would never let themselves have so many soldiers.
Xun Xiao thought about Buddhism, and he could see that this time Cao Cao asked him to stay away from Xu Du and consume his own private army of dead soldiers, which was already a little jealous.
That's why he temporarily cut off the correspondence with Tao'er, came out first to level the thief, and then went to talk to the people in Xu Du after he got the merit.
Now, he doesn't know how to say it, if he wants to grow stronger, once this mind is detected in the future, it will naturally lead to a rupture.
"Let's put it on hold."
Xun Xiao was a little irritable, he put away all these reported notes in front of Xun You, but he didn't worry for too long, and soon received a letter from Tao'er.
It is very strange that Xun Xiao was originally in Runan, and the route of the march was not informed of the letter, but the letter could still be delivered, and when he opened the letter, he was even more shocked in his heart, and after reading it, he was immediately struck by lightning.
The tone in the letter is completely Cao Xian, every word is the same as Cao Xian who has known him during this time, and he talked about one thing, which made Xun Xiao suddenly lose his thoughts.
"There is no peach at all, or rather, peach has long since died in which wilderness, and the chance of surviving in the troubled times is really not very good."
Xun Xiao received the letter and read all the contents, Wang Er stared closely at the side, and planned to run away at any time, his legs moved outward from time to time, but for some reason, he still planned to see what was walking, whether he was dead or alive, he had to wait for the prince to scold a few words and say, if it was fatal, then run again, anyway, his legs and feet were fast and he ran extremely fast, and it was not easy to be caught up.
But Xun Xiao was surprisingly calm, as if someone had pierced the window paper, and everything was clear in the eyes, "Actually, fame in troubled times is a dream, maybe I may have died a long time ago, before I died, I dreamed that I came to the Xun family, and there is a person to guide me and make a name for myself in the troubled times, right?"
"Or am I actually just a butterfly in troubled times, dreaming of a world like this?"
"Junhou, if you cut me twice, if I live, I will spare my life, and if I die, I will make amends," Wang Er gritted his teeth, he thought that Xun Xiao's mood was too depressed, and he was already a little crazy, otherwise how could he say such a thing.
"That's it!"
Xun Xiao smiled and put away the letter, and then said to Wang Er: "In the future, when the army marches and fights, you can't do it at will, tell Dian Wei that Wancheng picked up a life after that, and Zhong Kang guarded Cao Gong left and right, and it must not be violated."
"Tell Uncle Wenruo that in the future, when he slowly abdicates, relieves the Han family, and makes Zhong Xuan and Yang Biao the kings, it is best to enjoy his old age in peace, the Han Dynasty will be the world of the Han people sooner or later, and it is impossible to go against the trend."
"Tell Brother Zhicai that the five poultry dramas need to be practiced for a long time, and the wine and wealth should not be touched."
"Tell ......"
Xun Xiao asked many people this night, and Wang Er felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and after listening to it for an hour or so, he understood that it was irreparable.
So he wrote down these words one by one, and after sorting them out from Runan, he was ready to spend a year traveling all over the places where the generals are now, and inform everyone of these instructions, as for how many people are willing to listen and how many are not, it is not for him to control.
One day at the end, Cao Cao, who was in the capital of Xu, woke up one day and suddenly saw his daughter crying and running into the room, delivering a letter to the case, and then crawling on the ground and crying silently.
Cao Cao got up in confusion, and there was no need to ask why, he came up and took a deep look, knowing that it was a letter written by Xun Xiao, so he opened it while sitting on the desk and read it.
It is full of heartfelt words, from the policy of Tuntian, it is necessary to divide the land and the people, and settle the people to the people's hearts.
Then when the army marched to the north, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing and there was no need to force it into Liaodong, and then it was said that if the northern states were to be won in the future, when Jingzhou seized Jiangdong, once the boat fell into the water battle, we must be careful of fire attack.
The last sentence is, beware of Sima Shi Cao Ye.
"Xun Xiao is gone."
Cao Cao said indifferently, lamented slightly, and did not blame his daughter for not being able to hide it, and also knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, so according to Xun Xiao's request in the letter, he informed the whole army that Xun Xiao died of cold during the march to Runan.
Posthumously named Marquis.
Since then, Cao Ying has no more strategist Xun Xiao.
