Chapter 355: Giving Away the Head

Cao Cao's will was quickly written on silk paper through pen and ink.

These silk papers were then recorded by the Prime Minister's Office and sent out in different categories.

The main entrance of the Jiaxian military camp was open, and a team of knights placed these silk papers close to their bodies, and then rode their horses to choose the direction, and galloped out in all directions without looking back.

This military order rubbed the air in August into a viscous point.

Before the knights rushed to Yecheng Xudu to give the order, the people of Tuntian in Yuzhou, Hebei and other places had already taken the lead in smelling the unusualness of this year.

After all, in the past, if one stone of grain was collected, Cao Jun would only collect five or six buckets for the field.

Although there is no bazaar, in the case of barter, such a day is not impossible to live.

Since the beginning of this year, the agricultural orders of each tun have been announced, saying that Prime Minister Cao Cheng cares about the people, makes new agricultural tools to facilitate farming, and sets the fertilizer order to fertilize the fields.

This should be a good thing, after all, this thing commonly known as the curved plough is really labor-saving, and the fertilizer used is also cheap, and the method of making it is simple.

Although there are sporadic rumors that this thing was made by Uncle Liu Huang in Jingzhou, the vast majority of the people simply do not have the strength to pay attention to this.

These two things are indeed simple and easy to use, making farming easier, so there are also words praising Prime Minister Cao Cheng in Tunzhong.

But soon such praise ushered in a sudden backstab:

The farmer announced that he had received the favor of Prime Minister Cao Cheng and should repay him.

This year's field endowment, a stone of grain, need to pay seven buckets for the endowment, borrowing official cattle to plough the field, the addition of a bucket is not exempt.

More than half of the people who are tuntian are poor households, and it is almost inevitable to rent official cattle to plough the fields.

As soon as the order was issued, the crowd was surging, but this turbulent public opinion was soon silenced under the front of Cao Jun's troops, and only the undercurrent slowly flowed.

Although the farmer soon came forward to guarantee that the two fields that increased the income were only once, and after Prime Minister Cao Cheng used it to quell the thieves, he would not take it again, but it was useless.

After all, many people didn't come here voluntarily in the first place, did they?

But in any case, at least according to the statistics of the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least there is indeed a lot of surplus grain in Taicang.

On the basis of these surplus grains, with the order of the Prime Minister's Office, the soldiers of Sizhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou also began to assemble towards Yuzhou on a large scale.

And for many of Cao Cao's generals, the message of this action could not be clearer:

At the beginning of the year, the attack was not successful, and then the confrontation lasted for several months without gain, and now Jiangdong is defeated and the rivers are blocked, and the prime minister finally can't hold it back!

Several armies were assembled towards Yingchuan Runan, but there was rarely a strange group of soldiers on the official road who walked in the opposite direction and marched towards Tongguan.

Saying that it is strange is the real first impression of the people on the side of the road.

About 1,000 unarmoured and unarmed soldiers marched together, and on the outside of this group was a Cao soldier with a tightly armed helmet and armor.

It seems to be a relationship between the captive and the escort.

But the strange thing is that the unarmed soldiers are all giggling, talking and laughing loudly to each other, and the joy in them is almost overflowing.

On the contrary, Cao Jun, who was wearing a helmet and armor, rarely talked and laughed, and spent most of his time staring at the group of people inside to prevent changes.

But occasionally in his spare time, Cao Jun's eyes when he looked at the group of people inside were also indescribably complicated.

"I'm homesick."

Cao Junzhong didn't know who whispered, and the others were waiting to echo it, but soon Jun Zheng's cold eyes swept over made them consciously silent.

In contrast, the cheerful chatter and laughter of the group of people inside became more and more harsh.

But even if they were resentful in their hearts, it was difficult for them to spill their anger on this group of unarmed people, and this group of Yizhou soldiers was the key to changing General Xiahou back now.

And for this group of Yizhou soldiers who have been disarmed, even if Tongguan is now in sight, they still can't believe each other, and they still feel like they are in a dream.

A month ago, they were in Cao's military camp, and anyone could come and bully them.

A month later, they were escorted by Cao's army, and it is said that it was Uncle Liu Huang, the new lord of Nayizhou, who defeated Xiahou Yuan and wanted to exchange this Cao Cheng's brother for more than 1,000 of them to return home.

Once one by one, Gu Ying sighed to himself, the festival was painful, and he was afraid that the guests would die in a foreign land.

Now that the opportunity to return home is close at hand, this group of Yizhou soldiers has begun to suffer from gains and losses one by one.

With the escort of Cao Jun, there is no obstacle on this road, after leaving Guangcheng Pass, all the way to the west, and finally passing through Shaanxi County, after a few days, Tongguan is already in sight.

At this point, the mentality of Yizhou soldiers has climbed to the highest point, and one by one they no longer talk and laugh loudly, but begin to feel uneasy.

I hope that this trip can really return to my hometown, but I am also afraid that this trip is a pretense to return to my hometown, and in fact I will go to another battlefield to serve and die.

The closer the panicked Yizhou soldiers got to Tongguan, the more clear the style of Xiongguan in the world became.

Along with it, it is clear that there are two lines of words on the big horn on the tong.

There are not many literate people in Yizhou soldiers, but the content of these two lines of words is quite simple, and after whispering to each other, the content of this book in Tongguan is also well known:

"Yizhou Erlang suffers"

"Enter the customs and go west and return home"

The two sentences that were quite simple and straightforward made this group of Yizhou soldiers even unable to hold back tears.

Some people screamed and vented, some ran wildly to lyricism, and some cried bitterly in the names of their parents and brothers, and pounded their heads on the ground.

And under Liu Bei's command, the only one who can welcome the athletes back to their hometown with such straightforward words is naturally Zhang Fei.

"You, this Yan man, are very calculating."

Because of the relationship of waiting for the prisoner exchange here, Xiahou Yuan was finally able to leave the small courtyard and go to Tongguan to wait with Zhang Fei.

The Yizhou soldiers arrived at Tongguan, which means that he Xiahou Yuan will soon be able to go out of the Guandong Pass, and it will only be a few days to see the eldest brother, and then see this Zhang Fei again, it should still be a military formation against the enemy.

But even so, Xiahou Yuan still did not want to officially call Zhang Fei by his name.

Zhang Fei didn't care, and said with a smile:

"A little trick, no one can beat the right of the woman and the tiger."

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, only to feel that this Zhang Fei was really hateful!

After choking on a sentence, Zhang Fei led the horse forward and took the initiative to meet the Yizhou soldiers who had gone through ups and downs.

Relying on the roster of soldiers he had previously included in Jingzhou, Zhang Fei quickly gained the trust of this soldier.

It took half an hour to confirm that each other was correct with the list, and then ticked off those sons and daughters who had been confirmed dead, Zhang Fei also waved his hand quite simply to signal the release of the handover.

It's just that before entering the Cao army array, Xiahou Yuan hesitated, and was still going to turn around and say something goodbye, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhang Fei staring at him:

"Woman, Fei has a good word."

was so solemn that it suddenly made Xiahou Yuan's heart tighten:

"Come on."

Zhang Fei's face was full of seriousness:

"If the woman returns to the east, don't go to Jingbei to give Huang Zhong a head."
