The tranquility of death around the surroundings.

Le Jin and Xu Huang's faces were extremely ugly. Although they did not show any anger, they had already used silence to fight Xiahou Dun's account check.

When Liu Bei's army was weak, they naturally couldn't do anything to resell military rations. Later, they grew a little bit stronger, and there was a pure idealist like Zhuge Liang who was capable. He sorted out accounts and counted military rations and weapons every day, which allowed the weak Liu Bei's army to concentrate as little food as possible, like a young man with insufficient strength, clenched his fists and fought to the death with all his strength.

But Cao's army cannot do it.

When they recruited workers, they said that character is not important. It is a fantasy to recruit a group of people with abilities and no character. If you want them to lead a team well, the Cao army has always adhered to the principle of never pursuing it. Just be almost the same and it is enough to fool it slowly.

In history, Cao Cao's grandson Cao Rui wanted to go to the Shangshutai to check the accounts when he was the emperor. The Shangshuling was Chen Jiao, the follower of Cao Ren in Jiangling City now. He was not afraid of Cao Rui. He said that this document could not be shown to the emperor. If the emperor trusted him, he would continue to let him do it. If he didn't trust him, he would hurry up and let him get out.

Cao Rui had no choice but to let Chen Jiao go. The most terrifying thing was that people at that time regarded this as a beautiful talk and praised Chen Jiao's integrity.

At present, the honest and honest people in the Cao army have not yet died. Xiahou Dun is average in fighting skills, but he is indeed extremely strict in governing the military and the people. He has long heard of the situation in Jingzhou and is preparing to make drastic adjustments in Jingzhou to change the current situation.

Guan Ping was silent for a moment and said:

"I think it's not a good opportunity to clean up accounts now."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

Xiahou Dun looked terrifying on the outside, but he spoke quite gentlely. He looked at Guan Ping with a smile, letting him speak freely.

Guan Pingdao:

“It is natural that it is a lot of money to check accounts.

Now the two young men are fighting the strong enemy in Dangyang. If we check the accounts, the soldiers will delay the rescue..."

"Not bad!" Xu Huang also immediately concluded the topic, "We should send troops to support immediately now and untie the siege of Jiangling in one fell swoop. If it is delayed, how could the two young men fail? I can afford it."

"What Gongming said is very true!" Le Jin also said quickly, "Now, clearing the accounts, the people in the military academy are unstable, and the war is not good! Our army should advance south quickly and eliminate all the evildoers in one fell swoop. This is the best strategy."

Xiahou Dun's face was as usual, and he nodded slowly after everyone finished speaking:

"Wen Qian, didn't Gongming hear that 'If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your weapons'? War is a major event for the country. Before, our army was defeated by Wulin, and he was self-conceived and had many soldiers and blindly fought, and was defeated.

Nowadays, the soldiers, military rations, and the enemy situation are unknown, so we rely on our subordinates... Haha, we may not have enough troops.

This account must be checked—”

His eyes turned to Guan Ping's face:

"General Yun just joined our army and is on the front line again. If you don't check this account, don't check it. Wen Qian and Gongming are both veterans, so you should understand what I want to do.

Stop talking, this matter is not allowed to be pleaded with - immediately report the soldiers, food, and weapons of each army!"

this……

Guan Ping had always heard people say that Xiahou Dun was stupid - including Guan Yu.

But from this perspective, isn’t this person quite capable?

Cao's army was defeated in Jingzhou before because of blind optimism, thinking that it would be easy for him to win hundreds of thousands of people under his command to take a photo.

But I never expected that the situation in Jingzhou was much more complicated than that in the Central Plains. Diseases, terrain, water battles, etc. were almost killing Cao's army. How could most of the water ducks in the army fight against the Jiangdong naval army, which everyone has been playing by the river since childhood?

Xiahou Dun was very familiar with the atmosphere of the Cao army. Before leaving, he also negotiated with Cao Cao and decided to make a name for himself in Jingzhou, but in fact, no big war could be fought in a short period of time. Even if he wanted to fight, it was necessary to count the soldiers and rectify military discipline.

Le Jin and Xu Huang's subordinates claim to gather 40,000 elite troops, plus 15,000 Yunshan, which can be said to be a large army.

But Xiahou Dun completely didn't believe this number, let alone the people in Jingzhou would try their best to support Le Jin.

So he planned to thoroughly investigate Le Jin's soldiers and figure out how much combat power he still has in Jingzhou.

In order to appease Yunshan, who had just joined Cao's army and was particularly good at water warfare, Xiahou Dun also directly used methods to allow him to exempt him from inspecting Yunshan, allowing him to continue to transport food and grass to Dangyang to ensure the safety of the Dangyang front line.

As for Le Jin and Xu Huang...

His eyes were bright, and he wanted to see what the two of them had done during their time in Jingzhou.

To be fair, Guan Ping still supports Xiahou Dun quite well.

War is a major event for the country and the way of survival. Of course, no matter how cautious it is, it is not an exaggeration to be cautious.

But now...

"General. Yunshan was promoted by General Le. If you want to investigate General Le's troops and equipment, Yun will naturally have to undergo verification. Please help the general!"

Le Jin was immediately moved and looked at Yunshan in disbelief, with a trace of tears in his eyes.

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. If Xiahou Dun wants to deal with local military seriously, as the governor of Jingzhou, he will definitely bear the blame.

When Cao Ren is rescued, he may not be able to continue to control Jingzhou by relying on this. Xiahou Dun can even supervise the military affairs of Jingzhou by himself, promote Yunshan, Man Chong and others to take over his position.

But I didn't expect that Yunshan was so loyal to him and was willing to use his future to accompany him to advance and retreat!

Xiahou Dun frowned.

He hadn't met such a person from Cao's army for a long time. In a trance, he suddenly felt that Yunshan looked familiar.

Have I seen this guy since?

Seeing Xiahou Dun hesitating, Guan Ping looked at Le Jin and Xu Huang with a deep look, with a hint of determination on his face and said with a sigh:

"General Xiahou has been in charge of his army for many years, so we can naturally not hide the general's plan.

I clearly said that our army did falsely report money and food expenses. The two generals Wen Qian and Gong Ming pity me, the barbarians, do not understand military law. Although they had some advice, they did not go into it.

I was moved and regarded the two generals as uncles, so I naturally didn't want the two generals to take responsibility for me.

Yes, the two generals must have falsely reported food, food, food, and wages.

But there is so much inside story about this matter, please listen to me and tell me—”

"Before, Prime Minister Nanzheng fought in Xiakoulang and lost Shiyang again. All the soldiers of the army were wiped out and they were spared only by their own life.

The two generals ignored the past and supplemented the cost of troops for me, so as to help me retake Shi Yang.

Jiangxia is vast, and our army is stationed in Shiyang, Anlu and Nanxin counties respectively. We also have to reclaim wasteland and resist the bandits. Thousands of troops are far from enough. The two generals save money and transport troops, food, and weapons to me.

Later, Mr. Zijian led me to fight, and he suffered heavy casualties in the battle with Guan Yu. According to the Han Dynasty, he was imprisoned and punished him. It was also the two generals who helped me hide my guilt. This was why I defeated Guan Yu in the later Nanzheng and opened up the Han River."

"If the general wants to investigate, I believe that Xiangyang, Fancheng must be short of troops, and there are many false reports and concealment of food, grass, and weapons. But this is all Yunshan's crime. If the general wants to investigate..."

Guan Ping took off the official seal he hung on his waist and held it in his hand, bowed slowly, and raised the official seal above his head.

"Shan is willing to atone for his sins with his own life. Please do not humiliate the two generals because of their age!"

"Fast!"

Xu Huang's nose felt sore and tears came down.

He always felt that this young general looked quite like an old friend of his, so he remembered and cared for Guan Ping.

Xu Huang had never thought about who Yunshan looked like before. Now he remembered that except for being a little greedy, this guy was exactly the same as Yun he looked back then.

"It's not your business, get up quickly!" Xu Huang said angrily, "One person does things and one person does it. Can't I, Xu Huang, afford it?"

Le Jin whined, pulled Guan Ping up and cursed:

"What a bastard! You are not yet old and have a bright future! Why don't you get up quickly?"

He has been in the army for many years, and what he cares about is a fight and intrigue between him and his companion, and for the sake of his interests, he can turn against Xu Huang, a comrade who has been with him for many years.

But I never expected that a young barbarian general in Jingzhou whom I recruited was so loyal to me, and even willing to trade his future for his conscience - well, although the method is quite stupid, it shows his loyalty and courage.

There are not many such people in Cao's army.

Xiahou Dun didn't know that it was not the first time that Guan Ping threatened to resign.

He stared blankly at the young general in front of him, and was both admiring and helpless.

Such a good man, hey, he should learn some of the right ways in our army. It would be a pity to follow Lejin.

He has heard of all the things Guan Ping said.

It is said that Yunshan and Guan Yu could survive his knife by fighting alone. Later, Cao Zhi forced him to send troops and fought desperately to repel Guan Ping. Even if he lost some, it would be reasonable.

Le Jin and Xu Huang are both long-time generals, and they will be sold to the Cao family in this life.

But this barbarian boy is now a key figure in the Jingzhou War. If he quits his job, it will have a huge impact on Meng De's future career in Jingzhou.

Xiahou Dun thought for a moment, but a rather relieved smile appeared on his face:

"There are not many loyal and righteous people like Tanzhi."

He stretched out his thick palm to grab Guan Ping's hand, asked him to take the official seal back, and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll give you a face, and I won't check the omissions for the time being.

But from now on, everything in the army will be re-created. If there is any violation, don’t blame someone for being ruthless.”

Le Jin and Xu Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if it weren't for Yunshan's support, they would be afraid that they would lose face this time.

If you don’t blame me for the past, it doesn’t mean that Xiahou Dun has changed his temper. He stared at the three of them and said slowly:

"Wen Qian, tell me honestly, how many soldiers can fight under your command?"

"Twenty thousand." Le Jin gritted his teeth.

"Only ten thousand?" Xiahou Dun exclaimed, "Gongming, where are your subordinates?"

"Ten to eighteen thousand."

"Only eight thousand!"

"Where is this?"

"Ten thousand five."

"?"

Guan Ping smiled bitterly:

"It's really 15,000..."
