In the dark room of the study.

Cao Ang looked at the hardcover book in front of him by the faint candlelight, and quickly turned to the page he had read before.

Read through the full article.

Double-check that the above content is available.

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth involuntarily rose upward, revealing snow-white and sharp teeth.

and his sunny smile.

When in front of Cai Yan.

Cao Ang can barely keep his facial expression intact, but now that he is in the dark room of the study, and no one is looking at him left and right, how can he still hold on?

Tut!

Sister smash, you've been tricked!

Now the trap has been set and the ambush is over.

Just wait for the enemy to come in!

Thinking of today, a month later, under Cai Yan's gaze, he splashed ink and wrote a large book, and wrote an article in an instant.

The frightened girl couldn't close her mouth.

Cao Ang felt a secret feeling in his heart.

And there is also the so-called, make a request at will, kill two birds with one stone, and earn directly with blood.

Come to think of it.

Cao Ang hurriedly rewrapped the book in his hand, and transferred the storage location from the dark room to the desk where he handled daily government affairs.

The next day-to-day arrangement.

He had to add a memorization text.

This article is still a bit long, and there are a lot of rare words in it, if you can't read and memorize it by heart, it won't be useful at that time.

This can be regarded as a drawback.

But compared to its advantages of being easy to understand and versatile, what is the point of being long?

It's just a flaw!

……

In fact, the reason why Cao Ang easily established a gambling contract with Cai Yan was precisely because he thought of the existence of this thing, this textbook fished from the river.

"People's Education Edition High School Chinese Compulsory II"

If you hadn't read this textbook before, you would have known that there was an article on it that was very suitable for you.

Cao Ang would rather continue to persuade Zhao Ji with words than easily agree to the bet.

After all, he didn't have much inventory of articles and songs in the Han Dynasty, and many of these stocks were useless, so he couldn't choose them with his eyes closed.

First of all, it has to be in line with his style.

Like his father Cao Cao's poetry articles, in fact, they are not very easy to use, and the domineering and heroic spirit that comes out of the bones is really not something that anyone can forcibly graft.

There is a high probability that Cai Zhaoji will see the authenticity of the brain, so that it will be questioned, but it will be inferior.

Second, it has to be easy to understand, at least I, the "author" myself, have to understand the allusions and the meaning of the words, right?

Otherwise, when an article was sprinkled with songs, Cai Yan turned around and asked him what some sentences in this article meant, and he, the author, couldn't answer.

That's a joke.

After satisfying these conditions, the range of options has actually narrowed down a lot.

Carefully selected.

The text in this textbook has become the best way to save the day.

……

Just as Cao Ang closed the door of the dark room.

When you cloak it up again.

There was a slight footstep outside the house, and then a maid was heard shouting softly at the door.

"Fujun, General Zhang, they have arrived, and they are waiting for your orders in the living room at this time."

Cao Ang responded.

Then packed up the things at hand, and walked quickly to the living room, before Cai Yan listened to him play the guqin, Cao Ang had already sent someone to invite Zhang Liao and a few of them over.

It's just the right time.

Now there are four senior generals under Cao Ang, Zhang Liao, Cao Chun, Cao Ren and Dian Wei.

Among them, except for Dian Wei, who was the leader of the personal soldiers who accompanied him to protect him, the other three led an army each.

And Cao Ang invited them over.

Naturally, there are things to order.

……

"Fujun!"

With Cao Ang appearing in front of him.

Zhang Liao and the others stood up in unison and bowed to Cao Ang in unison.

"Sit, sit!"

After Cao Ang gave his hand in response, he smiled and beckoned a few people to sit down, and then came to his main seat.

After a few casual conversations, after a while.

Cao Ang turned the conversation back on track.

"I'm inviting you here today, mainly because there are some things that need to be arranged."

"Please show the general!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao and the others were all looking at themselves solemnly, their faces were full of respectful and solemn expressions.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction, then took out a book from the table, and asked Zhang Liao about the content recorded on it.

"Wen Yuan, the document you handed me yesterday said that the total number of troops in our army has reached 12,000 now, is this true?"

Zhang Liao immediately stood up and reported back.

"General Hui, everything is true, but the total number of subordinates also includes the 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by General Zixiao, as well as more than 1,000 cavalry under General Zihe."

"After removing these, of the 8,000 Tiger Camp army, 5,000 are veterans who have gone through more than World War I, and the remaining 3,000 people are recruited from the Qingzhou Qingzhuang captured after the First World War in Jinxiang County."

When Cao Ren came to Cao Cao from the Huaisi generation, he brought 3,000 people under his command.

And Cao Ang exchanged Cao Xiu with his father, so the soldiers and horses led by Cao Ren naturally belonged to Cao Ang, and they were brought to Dongjun together.

As for the cavalry under Cao Chun's command.

Originally, there were more than 1,000 people.

It's just that the big head still has to stay in the state capital after all, and he can't let the cavalry battalion under Cao Cao become an empty shell.

Therefore, after the split, it was sewn and mended, and now there are barely more than 1,000 people.

……

After confirming the situation.

Cao Ang lightly sketched the book with a pen, and then solemnly instructed Zhang Liao.

"Yanzhou next, although it will enter a long period of peace, it does not mean that we can sit back and relax peacefully."

"Therefore, the training of the army cannot be stopped, and it is necessary to maintain that the soldiers under its command are always equipped with combat effectiveness, and at the same time, as soon as possible, those young and strong recruits who have not experienced war will be trained into combatable soldiers who are familiar with the battlefield."

Zhang Liao promised.

Acknowledgement of the orders given above.

Just after a moment of thought.

Before Cao Ang could turn his gaze to the other person, Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward and said something to him.

"General, there's no better way to train soldiers, keep them in battle, and turn recruits into veterans."

"Although there is no big war at the moment, there are actually many bandits in Dongjun, and when the counties and townships are connected, almost all of them are entrenched in the mountains, rivers, lakes and rivers."

"According to the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to mobilize the army to exterminate these bandits and bandits, firstly, to completely ensure the stability and stability of the eastern county, and secondly, to take the opportunity to hone the soldiers, so that the army can always maintain a high fighting spirit."

……

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately turned sideways.

I looked at the map that always hung behind me.

After thinking about it in my heart.

Then he threw Zhang Liao a transfer order arrow, nodded his head, and commanded.

"Then according to Ling's words, the bandits will be suppressed throughout the entire territory of Dongjun, and I now grant you the right to transfer troops, and you can weigh it yourself, mobilize the corresponding number of troops, and fight and eliminate the mountain bandits and thieves between the mountains."

"Just one thing you should remember."

"I ask you to follow the direction from north to south, first solve the bandits in Boping, Liaocheng, Linyi and other places in the northeast, and then come all the way to the southwest, and finally deal with Baima, Yanxian and other places."

"In short, from far to near!"

The reason why Cao Ang has such a request.

In fact, it is making a long-term plan.

He didn't know when the chaos would start in the north, and he didn't know when Yuan Shao was going to start plotting to seize Jizhou, but it was still a while before he thought about it.

Therefore, first far and then near.

When Jizhou needs to end up on its own in the future, Zhang Liao and the army led by him can just move around Puyang County.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that the mobilization will not be possible.

And although Zhang Liao didn't understand the reason for this, he knew that Cao Ang must have a deep meaning, and with his character, he would never question the orders from above, so he naturally took the orders honestly.

"Subordinate order!"

……

And after Zhang Liao took the order and returned to his position, Cao Angshun turned his gaze to Cao Chun.

My thoughts only turned slightly.

He already commanded with a smile on his face: "Zihe, since Wen Yuan plans to clear out the mountain bandits in this county, then your cavalry battalion should be pulled out together for training, and it can be regarded as cooperating to eliminate the bandits faster." ”

Cao Chun naturally did not object.

After getting up and giving up his promise.

He also took an arrow from Cao Ang's hand.

It was only after receiving the military order that Cao Chun suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a long time before he said to Cao Angjin.

"General, your subordinates have the courage to ask for it!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

As Cao Ang raised his hand in agreement.

Cao Chun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said in a hurried tone: "General, the number of cavalry is still too small at the moment, and there are not enough more than a thousand people, so they can't play their due role on the battlefield." ”

"So my subordinates have the courage to ask you to give the order to continue to expand the number of cavalry!"

Originally, I thought that Cao Chun had encountered something difficult.

Is that all it turned out to be?

Even if Cao Chun didn't say it, Cao Ang was ready to let him continue to expand the scale of the cavalry.

As a result, Cao Chun took the initiative to propose it now, and Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh a little.

……

Without saying a word, he waved his hand.

Cao Ang replied very boldly: "Move, as long as I don't shout stop, you can make a move!" ”

"As long as the number of war horses we have on hand is enough, you can only expand the number of people, don't worry about not being able to raise them, as many as you want!"

Of course, the words are shouted domineeringly.

However, the number of cavalry could not increase dramatically in a short period of time, mainly because of the horses.

Although there was an agreement between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would sell war horses to Yanzhou through the channels at his disposal.

But certainly not too much at once.

After all, if Yuan Shao really had tens of thousands of war horses, then he would have completely armed the army under his command a long time ago.

Therefore, on the side of the Cao family's father and son, even if they are rich, they can only focus on a trickle.

And Cao Chun got Cao Ang's approval.

The excitement on his face flashed.

The cavalry is his team and his foundation, and only the larger the size of the cavalry battalion, his status in the army will be correspondingly higher.

Therefore, hearing that Cao Ang promised him to continue to expand his recruitment, how could Cao Chun not be overjoyed?

"Thank you, General!"

……

After two orders were given in quick succession.

Right now, only Cao Ren has not been given the task.

Just when Cao Ren was full of hope, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Cao Ang tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, making a dull "tuk-tuk" sound, his eyes looked at Cao Ren, and from time to time he turned his head sideways to look at the map behind him.

It seems to be thinking about something.

It's just a long time without words.

This made Cao Ren anxious.

What about our mission?

Several generals under his command have already arranged the corresponding affairs, and he has nothing to do at the moment, does this mean that he is not reused?

This is unacceptable.

Although he brought capital into the shares, it was Cao Ang's father Cao Cao who defected at the beginning.

But now, he is directly subordinate to Cao Ang's armed forces, and his boss is Cao Ang, not Cao Cao.

If Cao Ang can't reuse it.

Isn't that just a wax ride?

Although Cao Ren has a calm personality and has always been able to calm down when encountering things, his stable temperament is by no means suitable for this kind of scene.

Therefore, Cao Ren intends to take the initiative to ask for his life.

Just before he could speak.

Cao Ang's voice was already shaking.

……

"General Cao Ren, come forward, I have an important task that needs to be entrusted to you!"

When Cao Ren heard this, his spirits immediately perked up.

Hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the front of the desk.

"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"

Cao Ang also stood up, facing Cao Ren sideways, and at the same time, with his left hand, traced a meandering line on the northwest contour of Dongjun.

Then he pointed to Dunqiu County, which is located north of Puyang County, on the north bank of the Yellow River, on the border between Dong County and Wei County.

"General Cao Ren, your task is to carry the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, take Dunqiu County as the foundation, extend to the northwest, and find out and grasp the situation of Neihuang, Yin'an, Fanyang and other counties located in Wei County."

When Cao Ren heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

For a time I failed to understand the meaning of this command.

But he nodded instinctively.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Seeing Cao Ren's attitude, Cao Ang still praised it in his heart, although he was puzzled in his heart, but after receiving the order, he chose to answer the order instead of questioning it.

This is a qualified subordinate!

Of course.

If you don't know your next plan, you will naturally have some doubts about this order.

In order to better carry out the plan.

Cao Ang still answered Cao Ren's doubts.

……

"Although Yanzhou is safe at the moment, the neighbors in the north and south are actually not stable, and Jizhou, which is north of Dongjun, is likely to become a place of war disaster in the future."

"Once there is chaos in the north, our opportunity will come, and Wei County is adjacent to our East County."

"Send you to go over first to find out the situation, and to grasp the cities in the central part to a certain extent, so that once the time comes, our army can control the entire territory of Wei County in the shortest possible time!"

Cao Ren's heart was suddenly shocked.
