Chapter 7: Troubled times, thieves, solid people's hearts, called heroes!
Zhang Han felt that his muscles were much tighter again, and his eyesight also improved, don't look at the addition of only a small "1", the higher the total, the greater the increase each time.
Of course, the more precious it is.
He had a faint feeling that when he approached one hundred and twelve, it might be an otherworldly situation.
"Bo Chang, how did you get up on your horse just now?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
Just look at the stirrups of the cavalry today, most of them are made of leather and cloth, and the soldiers and horses want to use their feet hard, which is inconvenient, if it is not for the superb equestrian skills, it is difficult to stand up so vigorously when the war horse raises its front hooves.
Unless Zhang Han is really familiar with it, or his legs are very strong enough to clamp the war horse.
It is not impossible to get up by clamping the horse's back, for example, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, did not even have stirrups in his time, but he was able to stabilize the horse's back and stabilize his body with his thighs.
However, when there are no stirrups, the thighs are often worn out very seriously every time they fight.
"Practice makes perfect," Zhang Han said with a smile.
He once made a pair of stirrups himself, but he was not ready to promote them for the time being, and wrapped them in old cloth, and it was difficult to see the difference with the naked eye, unless he got on the horse and tried to ride.
After all, with the current level of forging, if it is not promoted for a few years, it may be able to be used.
Although Boss Cao can get up in troubled times, he can't control it now, and once he is defeated, he can't hide.
Zhang Han was already brave in battle, and this thing was more stable and agile than ordinary cavalry on his war horse, which was the secret of his good fighting.
His explanation is reasonable.
Cao Cao didn't know whether to believe it or not, anyway, he nodded and praised a few words and revealed it.
Then he took people back to the Shouzhang camp first, asked Bao Xin to enter the account to discuss, understand the current situation in the north of Yanzhou, and set up a small banquet for him to suppress the shock, after all, he almost died on the battlefield.
By the way, waiting for Cao Ren and other generals to return, Bao Xin was also waiting for one of his generals to lead troops from another road to converge.
It is said to be a small banquet, but in fact, it is still dry food and wine, and there are not even many pieces of meat, only small pieces of minced meat.
Several people ate their meals, drank and talked, and talked about the current situation, and the emotions in Bao Xin and Cao Cao's mouths were a little heavier.
"Meng De, this time to the rescue, set up a strange soldier in Shouzhang, anticipating the enemy's opportunity and marching in a hurry, so that my brother admired, I knew that you were extraordinary in your use of soldiers, and you have everyone's demeanor. If Yuan Benchu can listen to his words, why will Dong thieves be in trouble. ”
There are many people who learn the art of war, but very few can understand it in depth, and there are very few who understand and can skillfully use it, strategize and understand its "Tao" well.
Bao Xin was under He Jin in his early years, and he worked together a lot, and Cao Cao knew each other very early.
Only Yuan Shao will not be like this, he still corresponds with Cao Cao, and he is relatively close.
Later, Cao Cao continued to rise in fame and achievements, and this situation was alleviated a lot, but those so-called friends of the world did not make friends, but were only polite on the surface.
It was not until later that Bao Xin felt that Cao Cao was decisive, had a large pattern, was resourceful and decisive, and had a deep friendship with him. At that time, it was expected that Cao Mengde was very human and had a lot to do.
Then the Dong Alliance, even more friendship to life and death, only then did the Lord welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou, and today Cao Jun set up an ambush to rescue, which can confirm the vision of the year.
The friendship between the two is already complicated, not only an "alliance", but also admiration in Bao's confidence.
If it weren't for this bold prediction, decisive dispatch of troops, and strange plans to ambush the troops, it would not have been so easy.
Cao Cao was relaxed, lifted the bowl and touched Bao Xin again, and after drinking it all, he said: "Brother Tao, Wei Gong, once saved my life in Bian Shui, and now I save Yuncheng again, it is nothing more than a cycle of heavenly principles." ”
"Ho," Bao Xin made a short choking sound in his throat, and the two people Cao Cao mentioned, Bao Tao and Wei Zi.
All of them died at the hands of Xu Rong.
Died in the Battle of Bian Shui on the way to chase the Son of Heaven when he was fighting for Dong, which also dispersed all the troops and aid gathered by Cao Cao, so he had to return to the place where his relatives and friends gathered to seek funds for a comeback after fleeing.
Thinking of the two, he missed them more and more.
"Heh," Bao Xin smiled bitterly, and the scene was quiet.
After a while, Cao Cao put down the wine bowl and said softly: "If Meng Zhuo and Liu Dai were in prison, I might grieve, but I wouldn't be in danger to save them, and Yuncheng was different." ”
After speaking, he put his hand on the back of Bao Xin's hand, shook it hard, leaned over with slightly weak eyes, and said softly: "Yuncheng, I have very few friends in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and none of them, and you are my mentor and close friend." ”
"Yuan Shao doesn't count? He is the closest person to you in the world. ”
"Hmm~" Cao Cao shook his head with a smile, "That's not the case, the clan is not in the same stream as the eunuchs, so most people in Luoyang don't like to, if they are friends with Cao, they are regarded as cheap and self-falling, because Cao's background is not innocent; Although Yuan Shao is a family member, but he and Cao are close friends, people will praise him for being informal and open-minded. No one else has such praise. ”
"Ha-" Bao Xin was stunned with a smile, and then laughed even louder, "Hahaha! His Yuan Benchu's fame can indeed greatly lower people's standards. ”
"This is due to status," Cao Cao looked at Bao Xin again, "At that time, I was thinking, I am afraid that the elegance of this clan can only rely on Yuan Shao to lead me in, and now after several ups and downs, I finally feel that I don't want to go in after all." ”
"Yuan Shao is not the lord of the Ming Dynasty, he wants to set up Liu Yu as the puppet emperor, and he is the first to break away from the Han Dynasty, and many people in the family praise him for his courage and heroism, daring to be the first, and not being coerced by Dong thieves to support and praise. Isn't that the same as 'being friends with each other'? ”
"If one day I can have this status, there will be people who praise Cao Mengde for being smart since he was a child, so he is called 'Apu', he is called a hero, he is a hero, and he has become a hero with the world, so why ask the source if he is a hero?"
"Well said," Bao Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. After drinking, he looked pensive again, grabbed Cao Cao's wrist with his backhand, and approached: "What is the hero?" Peaceful thieves in troubled times, and those who stabilize people's hearts. ”
"Meng Deping has already seen his first achievements, Gu'an can have a strategy?! If you can calm people's hearts and have the bearing to follow the shadow, I Bao Xin will do my best to promote Meng De as the main and lead the counties of Yanzhou! ”
He understands.
Bao Xin understands Cao Cao's words too well, but also his ambition in his rhetoric.
Yanzhou, he wants Yanzhou!
And it's not a trick, this is to tell yourself that he Cao Mengde is a hero who is more suitable for Yanzhou than Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Zheng Sui, Bian Rang and others!
The work of leveling the thief, the strategy of centering! If you can achieve it, why worry about fame!?
The real problem now is whether to drive away or recover these Qingxu thieves who have repelled them! How many displaced people are there for them, and how will they be resettled once they have them?
You must know that if you can't place it, you can't cause a mutiny, but you will suffer from it; After the resettlement, how will the local people be appeased? If one of these two parties is unpopular with the people, it will not be possible to last long.
Cao Cao chuckled and said: "Although I don't have a strategy for the time being, I may be able to win the hearts and minds of the people." ”
"Hmm...... I would like to hear about it. Bao Xin bowed his hand, and asked with a serious face, he knew that Cao Cao's next words were to really talk to him and discuss the politics of Yanzhou from now on.
