Chapter 254: When this rumor spread, the whole army screamed
In the barracks, Cao Cao summoned thousands of soldiers and gathered in the wide school field behind the camp, still the elite soldiers under the command of the Cao clan, and those who came naturally understood the purpose, in addition, there were also the commanders and commanders of the entire company and battalion.
Cao Cao soon arrived on the high platform, didn't say anything, just held his head high and glanced slightly, laughing and talking with the surrounding civil and military, the whole person was relaxed and comfortable, and the soldiers gathered in the school field below could see from his eyes that he was in a good mood, and there must be good news.
If you react quickly, you will naturally understand that the original promise should have been fulfilled.
"Seeing that the lord is happy, this morning the black-robed rider suddenly went to the bank of the river and caught a lot, I am afraid that there are already 100,000 arrows."
"I heard that the lord let the straw man and the grass boat push to the river, and led the Yuan army to shoot on a foggy day, and those arrows were pierced in the grass man and the grass boat, all of which were transported back by us, and there were already tens of thousands of them the day before yesterday."
"So, Yuan Shao personally sent these arrows over?"
"Yes, I also heard just now that Zhang Junhou personally urged the horse to gallop wildly, and took the shadow to the shallows to drink, and he was a jar of wine, in the face of arrows like rain, he was not afraid at all, scolded Yuan Shao, and tried his best to ridicule it, making Yuan Shao's army angry, but there was nothing he could do!"
"Good!"
"Wow, really? A person who faces a rain of arrows and doesn't change his face?! Not only did his face not change, but he even took the war horse to the river beach? The prince's courage is unparalleled in the world?! ”
"I want to do that, too! It's so majestic. ”
"I'm the same."
"Talking about facing thousands of arrows in the face of a salvo, his face does not change, he is not afraid, the prince is really a god in the world!"
"The prince is just joining the army."
"The one in charge of making plans."
In the lively conversation, the stubborn armor soldiers lined up to carry a large number of arrows, which were densely packed and placed on the school grounds, attracting countless eager eyes.
These elite soldiers who were summoned to the assembly all straightened their necks to look, and some of them were even secretly counting the piles.
This pile is more than half a person high, I'm afraid there are five hundred, only two hundred bundles are 10,000, Liu Ye put a case in front of the high platform, safely counted, every time he passed in front of him, that is, a stroke, every twenty strokes are recorded horizontally.
After a while, there was an endless stream of armor soldiers carrying arrows, stunned the soldiers present, and caused an uproar from time to time.
"So much?!"
"I've secretly counted it, I'm afraid it's more than 100,000."
"Prime minister's clever plan, we are short of arrows, and now we have 100,000 arrows, and we still use Yuan Shao to build an arrow tower, which shows that there is a huge difference in the strategy of the enemy and us."
"Yuan Shao claims to be an army of hundreds of thousands, and I don't think it's a problem, isn't this just the fat given by God?"
"Swallow it, it is fat, and when you go back, it can be spread throughout the whole army, and the prime minister regards the Yuan army on the other side as cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and the money and wealth are expensive, and you can take it from them, and its intention is here."
"Hahaha, don't rely on heaven, rely on the prime minister, I already understand this sentence, if it is about the clever calculation of the gods, controlling the hearts of the people, it is unparalleled in the world, this plan is used so far, so the military heart is stable."
During the conversation, the arrows had been stacked, and they had reached 130,000, which could be used, and they were all well-made arrows among Yuan Shao's elites.
After the arrow is fired, because of the large falling force, sometimes it will be damaged, and it can not be used again, otherwise it is easy to tear off when the bow is drawn, or burst when it is fired, and it is easy to be dangerous, and there are good bows and arrows in the army, who can identify the advantages and disadvantages, and select more than 30,000 unusable arrows.
In fact, the promise of the lord was not fulfilled, and it was a little worse.
After the record was completed, Liu Ye swept the gazes in front of him, slowly got up, turned around and looked up at Cao Cao, with one hand behind his back, the other hand naturally picked up a scroll of books, the breeze blew the short and thick beard of his chin, his eyes were a little vain because of raising his head, and he didn't dare to open his eyes, and said loudly: "Back to the prime minister, a total of 131,500 arrows, the prime minister is martial and virtuous, and even the enemy is transporting armaments for our army, how can he not win?!" ”
"Hahaha!!" Cao Cao propped his hands on the railing, and naturally stretched out his hand and nodded to Liu Ye, this young man's way of speaking is very clever, and he can always pat his heart just right every time.
Not only is it comfortable for me, but everyone is comfortable listening to it.
Even Guo Jia has said words of praise several times during conversations, you must know that Feng Xiao is an arrogant person, and he will not praise someone easily, he can be blue-eyed to Liu Ye, and say a few good words, even if it is just a slightly neutral remark, it is enough to show that Guo Jia appreciates it in his heart.
At this time, a few words can just trigger the emotions of the soldiers, not just inform them of the number.
After all, some people remember the promise made nine days ago, and when the number of arrows comes out at this moment, they will naturally be amazed; But some people, he was stunned! If you just count the numbers, he may be stunned for a long time, and then he will be guided by someone to gradually get excited.
"The prime minister is mighty!"
"It turned out to be a strategy, and if the prime minister of my family turns over his hands and uses a little strategy, he can make Yuan Shao lose his troops and lose his generals!"
"It is said that not only these arrows, but also the Yuan army lost two thousand elites on the bank of the river, right?!"
"Nonsense, I remember that the black-robed rider came to report that it was three thousand!"
"The prince has obtained a thousand armaments, and there are more than 2,000 armor blades in the quartermaster's office, which can be issued to Xinding at that time, everyone, the prime minister's promise has been fulfilled, and he can send an order to the whole army, inform the soldiers of each battalion, go all out to be prepared, prepare bows and arrows, and receive arrows, but excellent armor still needs to be taken by those who are capable!"
"Good !!"
The general who shouted loudly on the side of the high platform was naturally the Taishou Xiahoudun of Dongjun, except for Cao Cao, he was the chief general in the army, shouldering all the matters of armament transfer, training of soldiers and horses, and sending troops to fight.
At this time, his loud voice can be said to really make the people present show an uplifting smile, these old elites, in addition to listening to the victory report, really want this.
It's the promise of the peak. With this, they returned to their respective battalions, and only then did they dare to promise to the recruits in the battalion.
There are also armaments, arrows, money and food, and now listening to the meaning of Taishou's words, it doesn't mean that you may not even need to go to the battlefield, as long as you can perform well during the drill, you can be rewarded.
As soon as he had this thought, someone soon asked out loud: "Taishou, can those fine armors also be issued to recruits?" ”
"Hmph," Cao Cao was directly happy on the top, looked at the man and said with a smile: "Naturally, we have all of them, we have the heavens to help, there are no arrows to drop arrows from the sky, no armor can be transformed into armor, if this battle can be won, it will be able to increase the official and enter the knighthood, and there will be a big reward!" ”
"Good, good!!"
"Prime Minister's atmosphere!"
"The last general will go and tell his brothers that everyone must be brave!"
"Hahaha!!" Cao Cao glanced away, and everywhere he saw was a happy face, and everyone was talking shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but open his arms and shouted heroically: "Everyone!! Not only that, but in a few days, there will also be heavenly help! The watchtower arrow tower that Yuan Shao worked so hard to make collapsed, and all of them were in vain for a month, do you believe it or not? ”
"Huh?"
"This ......"
For a while, the originally excited crowd slowly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Cao.
It's a look of amazement, incomprehension, but also anticipation and adoration.
Of course, this time, they no longer believe in Cao Cao's "heavenly help", because the strategy clearly comes from Cao Cao.
This is the wisdom of man, with these 100,000 arrows in the first place, today's words must also be in the chest.
The point is that the soldiers believed that Cao Cao was a bamboo in his chest.
"Letter!!"
"Lord Gong Wei Jia Hainei, the plan is unparalleled!!"
"It's okay for Yuan Jun!!"
"Letter!!"
Quite neat cheers came and went, and the soldiers unconsciously straightened their waists, with such a capable master, the future is bright, and the whole heart is one, why worry about the enemy not breaking?
Cao Cao's words made Zhang Han, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but turn his head to stare at him, staring at him intently.
It's like looking at a stubborn old Deng, and the corners of his mouth keep twitching, is it really okay to say this?
Why are you still addicted? Just ended a promise, and now another one is coming?
The loading is bigger than the other, and I haven't even started to study the thunderbolt with Liu Ziyang, and I plan to change it to a catapult.
You've actually put it on, it's you, Boss Cao.
"Isn't that a bit early?"
Zhang Han leaned closer and whispered, "It will take at least ten days to make catapults and thunderbolts during this time. ”
Cao Cao's face did not change, he still smiled downward, leaned sideways to Zhang Han and said: "Then ten days, build it first, and destroy as much as you can." ”
"The wisdom of the father-in-law is really dizzying and fascinating the son-in-law."
"Don't get lost, go back and hurry up immediately!"
Okay, it's still us black-robed riders who are suffering, I don't think it's called this name, it's called the black slave camp.
After the school assembly was dispersed, the commanders of each battalion led the team back to the camp and informed the recruits who were being trained that many of them even organized to come to the school field and count the arrows piled on the ground in person.
One afternoon, the whole army was very excited and excited, and they were full of praise for Cao Cao, and what they talked about was the prime minister's clever calculation, which was very mysterious.
It is said that Cao Cao seems to be a man who descended from heaven, a peerless master who descended from heaven to calm the troubled times.
A little trick can make Yuan Shao tired and sweaty.
When he talked about the bold words that destroyed Yuan Shao's fortifications, he was even more amazed, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
These recruits, who had just entered the camp, had already been conquered by Cao Cao before they had experienced a few major battles.
But while chatting, a new anecdote suddenly appeared, which was widely circulated and talked about......
"My brother in the black robe came to have a drink together yesterday."
"He told me that at that time on the bank of the river, the reason why the prince dared to rush into the foreshore alone, without fear of the rain of arrows, was really inspired by the words of the lord, and that was the words of the lord to teach his heirs."
"That sentence is called, who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat, what does this mean? ! DID YOU KNOW? ”
In Guan Yu's school knife camp, a group of people sat around and listened to the commander centurion talking in a colorful voice.
Naturally, he stopped, listened intently from a distance, and pretended to be looking straight ahead, when in fact his attention was on the group.
"This means that since ancient times, people are inevitably dead, but death must be meaningful, if you can be loyal to the country, you can still shine for thousands of years after death, and leave a name in history."
"Well said!"
"We don't want to be famous in history, but if we want to die a heroic death, we must at least earn the money for the family!"
"You just have this point of interest, if you are separated today, how can you be home? Isn't following the prime minister to calm the troubled times and let our children live a peaceful life? ”
"Hehe, I don't have such great ambitions, but the prime minister's teaching is good, who has not died since ancient times? Everyone will die, die a heroic death and make a profit, why not? ”
"The prince just wants to die! Go to the rain of arrows alone, what kind of courage is this!? This is what I dreamed of! ”
"Why is the prince okay?"
"He just joined the army, and he is not the kind of captain who can carry thousands of troops."
"You don't understand this, the more Confucian you are, the more you know the principle of sacrificing one's life for righteousness," the commander explained with a smile, "and when you are fearless, the arrows will go around you." ”
"Stormtroopers, born to death, the more afraid they are on the battlefield, the easier it is to die, the more crazy they are, maybe they can kill a bloody road, glory and wealth are on the way, do you all remember?"
"Remember!!"
"Hmm."
In the distance, when few people were paying attention, Guan Yu listened to the whole picture, nodded lightly, and walked away.
Then, Jian Yong followed, and he heard Guan Yu still muttering the two sentences that Cao Cao taught Zhang Han.
"Fang just said, this is the words of teaching the heirs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the golden words and jade laws are not exaggerated," Jian Yong sighed first, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Just this sentence, not everyone can say it, let alone a poem that has become a law, which can be passed down for centuries.
This Prime Minister Cao Cheng didn't show his name to the outside world, but only taught his children at home, as well as Zhang Han, his son-in-law.
"Alas," Guan Yu let out a long sigh, his face kept changing, as if he was extremely struggling, and he took a few more steps before he said leisurely: "Such a heart, such a moral character, the prime minister is worthy of the name of the able minister who ruled the world in his early years." ”
"In this world, I am afraid that it will really be calmed because of him......"
"Yun Chang's words, do you also have admiration for Prime Minister Cao?"
"Why can't there be?" Guan Yu turned around and looked at him calmly, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is so wise, shouldn't he be worthy of respect?" ”
"Xianhe, you tell me that you often say that he has the intention of usurping the Han Dynasty, and in the future, he is afraid of coercing His Majesty to abdicate and causing chaos to the dynasty, just like Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and other thieves."
"But that's for the future, and now can you do anything like that?"
"Yun Chang," Jian Yong didn't know how to answer, so he bowed first, "He may have been coercing and enticing and controlling the government, but ordinary people can't see it." ”
"Guan only saw the tranquility in the territory, the harmony of the monarch and the ministers, the stability of the dynasty, and the joy of the people; Seeing the wisdom of Cao Ying's strategists, and seeing the loyalty and courage of Cao Ying's generals, at this time, you told me that he would rebel and let me go elsewhere to guard against him with soldiers and horses, wouldn't it...... Betraying the Han and rebelling first? ”
Jian Yong frowned, pursed his lips, and looked helpless.
It's bad, Yun Chang is already tempted.
"So, Yun Chang doesn't want to go to Jingzhou with his lord anymore?"
"Categorically not," Guan Yu's face turned cold, his hands were put behind his back, and he gradually strode in, "The final word in Guan's life, promised my eldest brother, of course he will not regret it, admiration is admiration, but my brother wants me to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, what is the impact of these two." ”
"Yun Chang's affection is deep and righteous, and it is also admirable," Jian Yong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hand.
Click.
Taking another step, Guan Yu stopped, turned his head slightly, and said: "Xianhe doesn't have to keep an eye on it, Brother Guan won't let you supervise me, I just hope that you will help me make meritorious contributions, in exchange for meritorious service." ”
"He won't do such a temptation, and please don't do it yourself."
"Alas, I know, Yun Chang forgives his sins......" Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, and bowed his hand again, deeply feeling Guan Yu's wisdom and true feelings, and sighed that this person is also a wonderful person in the world.
Liu Bei really didn't say anything about surveillance, but only asked him to help Guan Yu make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.
And the two are hundreds of miles apart, but they can still trust each other, and this friendship is enough to make people talk about it.
"Speaking of meritorious service, I do have a thought about it, and I ask Yun Chang to listen to it."
"If it is feasible, maybe I can make a big achievement, and I can petition with Cao Gong in the future," Jian Yong seemed to put away other thoughts, and the whole person focused a lot, so he also raised his interest to discuss with Guan Yu.
"Okay, Kenwa, please speak!" Guan Yu's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly felt excited, he had really been suffocated recently, so many victories and merits had nothing to do with him.
Now that he has made a contribution, he still picked up Zhang Han, and he has long wanted to do a big job.
It's not a question of repaying the favor, it's really that kind of ...... The indescribable feeling, no matter how much he does not make a meritorious contribution to his fame, Guan someone is uncomfortable.
