Chapter 138 Don't say it, don't say it
Cao's army had 50,000 troops in Jingzhou on the books, and the previous food, grass, weapons, and other items were all allocated according to this number.
Fifty thousand people are 50,000 mouths that keep moving every day, and they must provide the daily needs of these people. The land under Xiahou Dun had to be frugal, and they took out a lot of food and grass to transport it to the front line. Even women had to work hard to weave cloth and undertake some manual work to barely ensure that the front line had sufficient military resources.
Lightning continued, thunder rolled, and the angry thunder sounded like Xiahou Dun's current mood.
He wanted to pull out the knife and slash Le Jin and Xu Huang one by one to express his extreme anger, but his surging anger could only turn into a hysterical roar. The angry Xiahou Dun used his long sword to slash everything he could see. The broken debris were like a little bit of mud splashed from the waves outside, which was shocking to see.
"Get out of here, get out of here immediately!"
He roared angrily, feeling the blood in his skull rushing upwards, rushing against his head and temples. Xiahou Dun's eyes were filled with tears, his arms were trembling, and he couldn't say a word for a moment.
If Yunshan is true, then Jingzhou will be a big fucker in this battle.
Currently, the most soldiers are the army under Cai Mao, and the troops of Le Jin, Xu Huang and others are seriously insufficient.
The Yunshan tribe has the most strict force.
This young barbarian general retained more than 15,000 troops. Judging from the fact that his army can station in Jiangxia and Jingcheng, the infantry and naval forces are equipped with each other, this number should be similar.
This is still Guan Ping reported it to the point of being less.
No wonder Sima Fu was not worried about the discovery of having an empty salary before. As the generals of Cao's army ate more and more, he was the main elite soldier of Cao's army.
Guan Ping knew that of course, these soldiers under Le Jin and Xu Huang did not disappear out of thin air. They just sold them all in order to reduce the expenditure on military rations when these people still had their names on the military registration.
This not only saves expenses, but also adds an additional income to yourself.
Guan Ping thought about who the specific buyer was and thought about it clearly.
"Frankly, stay here, I have something to say to you."
The furious Xiahou Dun drove Le Jin and Xu Huang away, and it seemed that he was a few years older.
He called out Guan Ping, who wanted to escape with him, and let him sit in front of him.
The Cao army general stood like a lonely mountain for a long time before slowly bent down, clumsyly lifted a wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Guan Ping.
His movements were very gentle, and he did not let the wine in the jar spread out. Seeing the muddy wine filling the bowl, he then smiled bitterly and sat down slowly:
"Frankly, do you think I'm harsh and inhumane?"
"Some." Guan Ping stared at Xiahou Dun's rather ferocious face and nodded reluctantly.
"Hey, actually Meng De was the same back then." Xiahou Dun smiled helplessly, gently hit his knees, and said with emotion, "The world was in chaos back then, Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage. Meng De and I rose up in the village and agreed to restore the Han Dynasty and rescue the emperor from the thieves."
"At that time, we had not many people. Except for me and my son and nephew of the Cao family, only Wang Bi himself was the first to follow the Prime Minister.
At that time, Meng Deqin was in charge of the army and selected heroes from all over the world for his own use. Everyone worked hard to move forward without fear of death, which led to the current situation."
"Later, Wen Qian, Gong Ming and others came.
Back then, they were all heroic and willing to die for the world. They would leave all the money, food and wealth behind them. At that time, we were as fierce as Liu Bei and had never played with all kinds of ghost tricks."
Guan Ping looked at the old man who was recalling the past and couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone will change."
Xiahou Dun's face was full of oldness and a hint of sigh:
"good."
“When does it start?”
"Start from...slaughtering Xuzhou."
The Qingzhou soldiers who started under Cao Cao were all rebellious Yellow Turban thieves.
These people did not come for loyalty and worldly feelings, but were just because they could not defeat Cao Cao and were incorporated by Cao Cao.
These people could not defeat Cao Cao, but gradually corrupted the military discipline of Cao's army. They would rob each battle and struggled to seize various finances when the city was massacred. Gradually, they became rich, and others were jealous and began to gradually imitate them.
If Cao Cao could stop it quickly and strictly enforce military discipline, many problems would be solved later.
It’s a pity that Cao Cao was worried that strict implementation of military discipline would cause problems in the army. Moreover, as his status grew higher and his ambitions became greater, those who adhered to the Han Dynasty’s Taoist tradition naturally did not dare to use it. In order to give some favors to those who supported him, the means of massacre of the city naturally appeared. Later, they became the characteristic of the Cao army, and they relied on massacre to accumulate enough military funds.
The Yellow Turbans could not defeat Cao Cao at that time, but their atmosphere had a strong influence on the army. Since then, Cao's army has fallen.
"I... I don't know how to fight. But I already have a vague premonition that this day will come sooner or later." Xiahou Dun's face was covered with sadness, which made people feel a little sympathetic. "Meng De always said that he could wait a little longer, and that we could wait until we pacify the world. But I saw that the army is now full of ills and morale, and evil people are becoming more and more indispensable. It seems impossible to pacify the world like Emperor Gaozu and Guangwu."
He looked at Yunshan in front of him and sighed, "Full, the Prime Minister has commanded the world, only talent is the only way to do it. With your ability and talent, if you abide by your original intention and stick to the right path, you will definitely be able to rise to the top in the future. The Prime Minister has long said that he wishes to be the second daughter of your daughter. With such a good opportunity, you must never learn these bad things in the army. You must follow your original intention and be a righteous person."
Xiahou Dun's advice was extremely attentive, and obviously he valued Yunshan very much, and regarded him as the object of his own people and future cultivation.
As an important figure in forming the Cao army, Xiahou Dun's appreciation is no less than Cao Cao's appreciation. As long as Yunshan immediately bows and says he can immediately change his ranks and become a subordinate of Xiahou Dun's tent, and his future is unlimited.
Unfortunately, Guan Ping knew that he was Guan Ping, and Yunshan was just a name he made up.
"The general is honest and impartial and selfless. The mountain wants to report a thief from Jingzhou. If this thief is eliminated, Jingzhou can be settled."
"Oh, who is it?" Xiahou Dun asked in surprise, "If you can decide Jingzhou except one person, even if you say it to me, I will verify it as true, and then the Dharma will be rectified immediately!"
"It's Cao Hong!" Guan Ping said solemnly, "Cao Hong is greedy, and the military assets accumulated by General Le and General Xu are also sold to him, and he will buy the property and then sell it to others.
This person is extremely greedy and seriously violates the law. Jiangling slightly resolved a few days ago, and a large number of Shu Jin went north. Even General Le Jin dared not get involved in the profits of this wealth!
If the general strictly enforces the laws, please order the killing of this thief!
Even if you don’t kill immediately, you can report to the Prime Minister and declare the world. You will agree that Jiangling will be able to kill all his family if they can be rescued!
Cao Hong is the best at managing property, and his family has countless wealth. As long as he announces that his family's wealth is confiscated, he will surely shock Jingzhou's sluts. Everyone strives to move forward. Zhou Yu always has a million troops, so what can he do? He is still destroyed by a blink of an eye!"
Guan Ping spoke as he grew up, his voice was like a bell and chime, and his expression became stronger and stronger—
Zhuge Liang once said that military law must be treated equally.
Making mistakes means being punished. The pain of punishment is to make people feel unbearable, so that they can have the opportunity to correct them.
Cao Hong is particularly good at managing industries. Cao Cao personally said that Cao Hong is richer than himself. Xiahou Dun is Cao Hong's elder brother in terms of age, and his ability to manage industries is Cao Hong's younger brother.
This person was beaten by Huang Zhong and Huo Jun before and almost died, but now he is still standing stubbornly. He takes advantage of the waterway to start a business of reselling salt and Shu Jin in Shu. The transaction targets are the Sun and Liu coalition forces who are besieging the city.
This military information was conveyed by the school affairs under Cao Ren. It can be seen that Cao Ren's subordinates were also very indignant of the general. If Xiahou Dun raised his arms and severely punished Cao Hong, the morale of the Cao army in Jingzhou would definitely surge, and it would be no problem to defeat Zhou Yu.
The premise is...
Xiahou Dun really dares.
After hearing Cao Hong's name, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly became very helpless.
Cao Hong is both stingy and greedy, which is recognized by everyone.
If you really make up your mind to attack him, there will naturally be many people who can shock him, but Xiahou Dun has to consider it seriously when he attacks him.
Cao Hong was not only a hero of Cao Cao's Yuan Cong, but his property was also related to the interests of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. If he was killed, the happiest ones would be the soldiers first, and then the happy ones would definitely be the old Han officials.
As we all know, Cao Cao's basic foundation was neither these soldiers nor those old Han officials, but his own relatives. Xiahou Dun thought about it, but could only shake his head slowly.
“It’s not possible yet.
Zi Lian's affairs are of great importance, I..."
"General." Guan Ping sighed, "Cao Zilian's affairs are of great importance. What about Jingzhou? What about the world? This person is difficult to eliminate, so what about the world? As long as we abandon Cao Hong, we...
"Stop talking." Xiahou Dun sighed long, with a little more loneliness in his eyes, "Stop talking, stop talking."
"How can General Cha Lejin and Xu Huang feel at ease when they were the two generals? How can they be convinced?"
Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head:
"Stop talking, stop talking."
At this moment, Guan Ping felt a little more sympathy for the people in front of him. He saluted and slowly withdrew from Xiahou Dun's military tent. He was happy and uncontrollably panicked.
Over the years, he has never been as confident as he has in the future to defeat Cao Cao like today.
The Cao army had already experienced so many ills before it was defeated. When Cao Cao was there, he could still rely on his own prestige to support him. Xiahou Dun's prestige and strictness were enough to shock the majority of people, making them afraid to abuse them unscrupulously.
But when Cao Cao is gone, his descendants will not have such prestige.
As long as we accumulate enough strength to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, we will have the opportunity to seize the world.
But when we seize the world, can we still keep our original intentions unchanged and create a better world?
He was a little confused for a moment.
