Chapter 2552 The wind blows and Cao Dong is useful
Longing for this thing is not something that everyone can have if they want it.
These days, Cao Chun did not sleep very peacefully.
?Every time I close my eyes, the armor and iron horses come into my dream, disturbing my peace.
??Although Cao Chun is not very old, he feels that the longings he had when he was young are so vague that he cannot even remember them in his dreams. When he was young, his life was nothing more than a typical life for a child of aristocratic families, wearing fine clothes and fine food, exercising his muscles and bones, honing his martial arts, traveling around, greeting friends, flying around, laughing and drinking.
At that time, Cao Chun had no pressure. He knew that no matter who was sitting on the throne, he would be able to obtain a certain official career that was exclusive to people like him, and then take the glory of the family and embark on the journey. The stage of this era.
Only when he actually started his official career did he realize that the reality was actually different from what he had imagined when he was young.
The pressure of being the son of a wealthy family is always on his head.
?For the inheritance of the family, for the preservation of the family status, for the authority in his hands, and for the glory of the Cao family, he must do well, and he can only do well.
Everything else is unimportant.
Nowadays, the general noble families are basically aware of the current confrontation between the East and the West. Even if they don''t say it on the surface, they have actually begun to separate the children of the family into the forces of all parties to ensure that no matter who wins in the end. , there is a family that will stand on the side of the winner, and if these children who are divided into different parties are unfortunate enough to meet on the battlefield, they can only fight mercilessly.
This is the pain of the noble nobles in general, but the pain of the Cao family and the Xiahou family is even worse.
Although the Cao Clan and the Xiahou Clan can split off some of their children like ordinary noble clans, the backbone of the Cao Clan and Xiahou Clan are too strong, so even the children who are separated may not be reused by other forces. More often than not, they are placed there like those horse bones...
Since everyone in the Cao family can be pardoned, what do other people have to worry about?
That’s probably what it means, but if you want to gain real power, you basically don’t even think about it.
?Hence, most of the Cao and Xiahou families could only keep their heads down and rush forward.
There is no second way.
At the same time, there are not even friends on this road.
?Those gentry heroes who are double-minded and make separate bets on their actions will not be of the same mind as Cao Cao.
To hold the emperor in arms and order the princes, the princes must be willing to obey the order.
Therefore, Cao Cao was vigorously invading the noble nobles who were riding on the wall, and even if he could not knock them off the wall, he would try to replace the wall they were riding on with spear heads...
At the same time, Cao Cao also vigorously promoted the children of noble families from poor families, but placed more restrictions on those who came from wealthy families. Like General Fei Qian of the Hussars, he promoted examination selection and changed the focus of the assessment from those who were vain in reputation and exaggerated filial piety and integrity. transferred to specific abilities.
This led to the collective resistance of the Shandong gentry group who had been accustomed to promoting filial piety and integrity for hundreds of years. The result was the grand parade and fireworks in Xu County...
??Although Cao Cao was well prepared and suppressed it, it does not mean that the coals under Cao Cao''s **** have been completely extinguished. If there is a slight breeze, Cao Cao will be forced to move.
Otherwise, it will burn like a chicken flying over an egg.
Cao Chun somewhat understood Cao Cao''s dilemma.
??As the general of the Cao family in Youzhou, Cao Chun naturally had the ambition to become a flying general in Dragon City and also had the responsibility of guarding the border.
?These responsibilities weigh heavily on him.
??Now so many descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family have worked together, in exchange for Cao Cao standing in the highest position in the court, um, the second highest position, in exchange for the glory and authority of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Among them, there are also large and small children of the Xiahou family of the Cao family wrapped in horse leather. Some even have no horse leather, just a torn mat wrapped in rotten linen and burned.
?As the person of the Cao family who controls the cavalry force of Cao''s army in the north of Youzhou, what reason does he have not to think of ways to expand the territory of Youzhou and strive for more glory for his family?
If you don’t do something, the risk will naturally be small, but there are risks that Cao Chun must take.
Therefore, Cao Chun went north to the desert, not only for the sake of military training, but also to obtain more war horses and expand Youzhou''s strength.
Before going into battle, everything had been arranged and the plan seemed to be flawless.
It’s just…
No matter how good the plan is, it is of no use if it is not realized!
It''s like buying a lottery ticket, then choosing the real estate, and even thinking about the name of the child.
Then what about the staff?
Cao Chun woke up from his dream and felt that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, wet and cold. He dreamed that the camp was attacked, and then countless iron horses came galloping, chopped down Cao Jun''s banner, and trampled...
Is it the uneasiness caused by the attack on the back camp?
Or is it an omen?
?At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came, and then they started talking softly with Cao Chun''s guards outside the tent.
??Cao Chun’s **** probably means that Cao Chun is asleep. If it’s not an urgent military situation, don’t disturb him.
??Cao Chun''s heart skipped a beat, thinking that it might be a sign from his dream, so he stood up and ordered people to enter the tent.
The visitor hurriedly came forward to apologize for disturbing Cao Chun''s rest.
There is no need to be polite, but something happened in the back camp? ”Cao Chun frowned. After he received the news that the rear camp was attacked, and after careful verification, he suspected that it was a small group of troops infiltrating, not Zhao Yun''s army approaching, so he deliberately laid a trap and lurked not far from the rear camp, waiting for this small group of troops to attack again. attack.
Because a small group of troops must not have the courage to attack Cao Chun''s headquarters, nor can they attack Youzhou City, so the grain transport queue and the grain rear camp must be important targets for these people. Seeing Cao Chun The damage to the rear camp was not too great and it was still in operation. It was very likely that a second sneak attack would be carried out.
Unfortunately, the visitor did not come from the rear camp, but brought news from Yuyang.
In Yuyang, I don’t know since when, there were rumors that Cao Chun was defeated in Mobei. There were noses and eyes. Some people also said that Cao Chun was attacked by someone and died without a complete body, etc...
??Cao Chun stood there coldly, but his heart suddenly stirred up a storm.
There is no doubt that this is a rumor.
It''s very easy to refute the rumors. All you need is Cao Chun to come out and wander around for a while, and it will be self-defeating. But the problem is that Cao Chun is currently ambushing in the desert, with tentacles stretched out in all directions, like a spider, waiting for someone to fall into his trap. , but at this point in time, there are such rumors.
Who passed this on?
For what?
…m9(`Д)…
In the city of Ji County, Zu Wu waved his hand and asked the people coming from Yuyang to retreat.
??Zu Wu is not from Ji County, but he is from the next county, Fanyang County. Living in Jixian County is just because Jixian County is more prosperous, and life, or business, is more convenient.
?? Fan Yang has two common surnames, one is Lu and the other is Zu.
?Lu is Lu Zhi, because Lu Zhi is so famous that many people have forgotten that Fan Yang also has a second child, Zu.
??Zu Wu was also a famous light knight in Fan Yang back then. He took over the family business when he was very young, and his main business was the trading business leading to the grassland. Whether it was legal or illegal, he could get involved, and his connections could be said to be sophisticated.
With such a person behind the scenes, it only takes one day for any news to spread throughout Yuyang City. Although it is the seat of a county, it is in a border county after all, and Yuyang City is indeed not big.
A city located in a border area is never a large city.
This is also for the convenience of defense. The city is small but strong, and it is the most difficult place to conquer.
?The city is small, so rumors spread quickly. Almost within a day, they spread to every corner of Yuyang City.
It is different from the people in Jizhou who can accept lying under Cao Cao''s skirt. People in Youzhou disliked Cao Cao even more.
No one likes a leader who cannot do himself any good. And there are not only no benefits, but also many disadvantages. Not only do you have to pay for the money and food yourself, but you also have to bear the blame.
Jizhou has at least lost some real power positions under Cui Yan''s mediation, but what does Youzhou have?
Without him, Cao''s appearance is too ugly.
In history, after the Cao family conquered Wuhuan in the north, Youzhou basically did not receive much pressure. Gongsun''s army invaded several times and was defeated and ran away without even using the main force of Cao''s army, so no matter it was Whether it is military or economic, the pressure will be much smaller.
But it’s different now. The huge and majestic Northern Territory Protectorate is like a sword on the neck of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, always reminding them of danger and death. Therefore, Cao Chun''s most important task in Youzhou is not to relax and develop. Economy, but explosive troops.
Continuous explosion of troops.
The explosion of troops will definitely hurt the economy...
At least it has seriously affected the economy and development. Moreover, Cao Chun took the initiative and wanted to attack the Hu tribe in the Northern Desert to obtain war horses. The overall strategic idea was good, but the problem was that he could get close to the Hu tribe in the north of Youzhou and generally have some relationship with the nobles and right-wingers in Youzhou. . Otherwise, where did these noble voices come from?
??Cao Cao tolerated not giving promotions to the people of Youzhou, but now that his fortune is about to be cut off, he can''t endure it anymore.
?Everyone needs to eat, and Cao Chun not only snatched food from their rice bowls, but also wanted to destroy their rice bowls...
?Therefore, who in Youzhou hopes that Cao Chun can win the battle?
In addition to Cao Chun himself, no one hopes that, not even the cavalry recruited by Cao Chun...
…Σ（дlll）…
The head of the big account. Cao Chun was dressed in military uniform, with a serious face and anger flashing in his eyes.
He had always thought that his enemies were in front of him. His biggest opponents were Zhao Yun and the barbarians from the Northern Desert. But now he suddenly discovered that his enemies were far more than just these two. The swords and guns may not always be right in front!
?Under Cao Chun''s angry gaze, all the civil servants, generals and assistants were all in good posture and did not dare to make any sound.
After receiving the news from Yuyang last night, Cao Chun immediately changed his deployment.
??Those who can tell that Cao Chun was captured in the Northern Desert, and can even tell it so vividly that ordinary people believe it, are basically at least not ordinary people!
?This is almost equivalent to a hard slap on Cao Chun’s face!
It’s just that Cao Chun doesn’t know who to believe now...
For a moment, the thought of confronting the enemy flashed through Cao Chun''s mind. The road upward, the road to victory for the family, was paved with blood and corpses! Just like Cao Cao, arrest all the suspects, and then tear them apart without hesitation, without worrying about anything, massacre all these people, kill them all happily!
Then what?
?With these people dead, who will handle local affairs in Youzhou? Ask Boss Cao to send someone over? Boss Cao wants to deploy people from Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou. There are not enough people. How many more people can be transferred to Youzhou?
What''s more, Cao Chun also thought that he wanted to leave a good reputation in Youzhou and manage the three or four counties in Youbei as his reliable rear.
If it really comes to a point where we don’t care, and the conflict deepens, is it possible to kill them all? There is Zhao Yun next to him, who welcomes the refugees in Youzhou with open arms!
Therefore, Cao Chun can only swallow his anger, but before that, Cao Chun must teach these guys a lesson, at least so that the restless people in Youzhou counties will never dare to cause trouble easily again!
It is not possible to kill them all, but there is no problem in catching at least some current criminals.
??Cao Chun''s eyes swept over the summoned military academies and civil servants over and over again, as if a knife was pressed against these people''s bodies, causing them to break out in a cold sweat. Only Cao Shang, who was sitting at the bottom, looked as usual, even scanning these officials like Cao Chun.
Cao Chun finally spoke quietly.
『A certain northern hunter wanted to hunt tigers and leopards, but he never thought...the tigers and leopards hadn''t come yet, but the jackals were out! Cao Chun sneered and said, "In that case, just hunt jackals!" We need to let these bad things know that the power of God cannot be violated! 』
?Everyone raised their heads and were about to echo and praise Cao Chun''s words.
Cao Chun had already raised his hand to stop them early, and his eyes became more and more fierce.
『The wild dolphins and dogs in the countryside are good at deceiving people by playing with their lips and tongues, causing unrest in the hearts of the people in Youbei. This is an act of betraying a friend to the enemy, and it is a heinous crime! Those naughty people who disobey orders, arbitrarily discuss military and political affairs, and leak secrets should be severely punished! This should be used to shock Xiaoxiao and make him know that there are still laws and national prestige in this world, and there is no room for regret! 』
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting for Cao Chun''s final order.
There are country beetles in counties and counties who commit crimes and commit crimes. They have always been lawless, but now they are even more aggressive and plotting against the law. Send the county soldiers to take charge of his family and serve as a warning to the remaining people in the county! 』
『Cao Shang, the Marquis of Zuojun! 』
『My subordinates are here! 』
Leading the vanguard by a thousand, rush to Yuyang, isolate the inside and outside, and thoroughly check the people who are spreading rumors and causing trouble! 』
『My subordinates take orders! 』
…(╬￣俣)=○…
??Zu Wu stood on the hill outside Jixian City, watching a group of cavalry coming in the dust, and then hurried away along the road.
This is the messenger cavalry of Cao Jun.
?The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and then disappeared.
It''s not slow to come, but it''s too late.
?Zu Wu smiled and said: "He is anxious..."
『If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. " Another person beside Zu Wu said.
??Zu Wu certainly did not fight alone in Jixian County. He also had business partners.
For example, Heshi in Jixian County.
The He family is said to be the queen of Xihe who was in charge of astronomical laws during the Yao period. However, most people know that this statement is not very reliable. All books were written by Huangdi, and everything was said by Shuren. Most of them are fictitious, just to add some luster to their ancestors.
Actually, the He family appeared at most during the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, there was the He family after Bian He. Some people even said that the He family name was actually changed from the Hu surname to the Han surname...
??But now, He Cheng, the son of the He family, can''t see any traces of the barbarians on his body. Whether it is the wide robe and big sleeves or the crown and belt on the top of his head, he is completely Han style.
He Cheng looked gloomy and said, "This thief is really capable of killing him!" If you really harm the people, you don’t know how it will end in the future? ! 』
??Zu Wu chuckled and did not answer He Cheng''s question, but said: "It is said that Lu Ziqian''s son has arrived in Guanzhong?" Dear brother, have you heard about this? 』
He Cheng glanced at Zu Wu and nodded slightly, "I heard a little bit." 』
Lu Zhi, the Lu family, is the weathervane of the entire Youzhou.
Originally, Zushi and others were still hesitant, but now that they heard that the Lu family had arrived in Guanzhong and showed up publicly in Qinglong Temple to give a speech, what were they still hesitating about?
?Of course, it is not enough to resist Cao Cao directly, or to fight Cao Chun head-on on the battlefield, whether it is Zuwu or Hecheng. They have private soldiers, tenants, and servants, but after all, there is still a gap between them and the regular army. So if you can''t do **** from the front, can''t you stab me in the back?
Furthermore, rumors are true, the cost is low and the effect is remarkable.
No matter where they are, don’t these groups of ignorant people long for peace and quiet, and have no worries about food and drink? As long as you draw a little bit into this aspect, it will be the topic that these people are most interested in!
It doesn’t take much effort!
As for why we do this, it’s naturally to take credit...
Although it is said that the Zu family and the family are both under the rule of Cao Cao and working under Cao Chun, seeing that the Lu family is betting on Guanzhong, no matter how hard one''s own side has to express it, otherwise, what if it really happens? That day when General Hussar''s army arrived at Youzhou, when General Pingbei''s troops were pointing directly at their door, wouldn''t it be in vain if they didn''t have any friendship?
??Cao Chun wants to catch those who spread rumors, how can he possibly catch them?
?Those disciples who showed up are now waiting under the hills and are about to leave for Guanzhong.
??Zu Wu, He Cheng joined hands with each other, walked down, and stood in front of the two families who were preparing to leave for Guanzhong.
The court is rotten! The people are in ruins! This is a great calamity for thousands of years! Whose fault? 』
?Zu Wu is right and strict in his words.
『Youzhou is in pain! The people are in dire straits! We will not have peace for more than ten years! Whose fault? 』
He Cheng also shouted from the side.
??Zu Wu looked excited and seemed to be in tears, "In the past, it was my disciples who fought hard in Youbei and defended the vassal for the country. They died a hundred times without regrets!" However, our blood has been stained all over Youzhou, but in exchange for oppression, in exchange for persecution, in exchange for you, the children of Youzhou, have no future! 』
The emotions of a dozen young disciples were aroused, just like they had been inciting the emotions of ordinary people before.
“A certain person and his grandfather are both old and find it difficult to travel far. Now the future of Youzhou and the hope of the people are entrusted to you! Not to be outdone, He Cheng bowed deeply and bowed to the ground.
?These young disciples quickly returned the gift, with excited expressions, and some shed tears involuntarily.
?Zu Wu and He Cheng looked at each other, and then raised their arms in unison, "For the people of Youzhou!" 』
For the people of Youzhou! ” Everyone shouted along.
For the big man! 』
Everyone also raised their arms and shouted, "For the big man!" 』
Go! When you achieve success and return, you will be the heroes of Youzhou and the pillars of the Han Dynasty! 』
Go! 』
