None of the generals had Xu Zhen's treatment.
He did not have many battle credits, but he was promoted one after another. Now, he was the commandant of Dian Nong, and he had only been in Yanzhou for a year.
In the past, everyone had gone through thick and thin together and worked together. Now, it was different. Yanzhou was rich. Not only the wealthy families, but even the common people were rich. Naturally, they had a firm foothold.
He could now prepare for military preparations, develop his internal affairs, and expand his diplomatic relations.
Then, the credit had to be divided. The civil died to remonstrate, and the martial died to fight. This was the principle since ancient times.
Of course, military merits and civil officials 'remonstrance merits couldn't be mixed together. A general was risking his life outside, while a civil official was just opening and closing his mouth. How could they be the same?
However, this was not good for the lord. He never considered Xu Zhen separately.
Civil officials and military officials would be given credit as well. If the grain transportation was done properly, it would be considered military merit. In this case, Xu Zhen would be given an official position.
Wouldn't that mean that he would have to ride on Xiahou Dun one day?
How could this do? Therefore, he found an opportunity to seize the opportunity.
Cao Cao put down his bowl and smiled,""It's fine, it's fine. If we run out of grain, we'll just retreat. If we can't take down Xuzhou, we'll attack again next spring. We have enough grain, so we're not afraid of consumption.”
Xun Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile,"My lord, you mean that it doesn't matter whether Yixuan can complete the grain transportation or not. Are you training him?”
"Humph humph humph…" Cao Cao laughed and glanced at Xun Yu."The one who knows me is Wen Ruo."”
"Aiya, Meng De!"
"My lord…"
Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun shouted helplessly at the same time.
"We've never trained them like this. You…"
Cao Cao rolled his eyes at them."Can you be the same?" You're my brothers, so you have to be of one heart! Yixuan is a young man with a different surname, but he is still very important to me. How can we confuse him? Besides, he is a civil servant. What are you worried about?”
"This…"
Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun looked at each other. They knew that they could not continue, but a seed had been planted in their hearts.
If he could conquer this world, he would definitely have to fight for credit in the future. It was more related to the glory that he had obtained from licking blood for his entire life.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun and most of the generals with the surname Cao were unwilling to let other surnames ride on their heads. In the future, the world would definitely be divided by Cao Cao himself.
"However, if the rations are delayed this time, we can't just let it go, right? That would be biased."
Xiahou Dun mustered his courage and said.
Cao Cao's face darkened.
Yuan Rang was a little talkative today!
"It shouldn't be like this..." Cao Ren muttered,"Yixuan is well versed in the art of war. He must know that the army and horses have yet to move, and the provisions have to be prepared first..." As soon as he
finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from the door.
Da da da da.
The guards entered the camp, panting, their faces filled with disbelief.
"They're here, the rations are here! Lord Xu transported 200,000 dan of grain to the various camps at the same time!! They were all delivered! There were also newly invented machines! Less than 10%."
What was that?
Cao Cao slammed the table with a loud bang. Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, and Xun Yu were all in disbelief.
Impossible, less than 10%?
This was absolutely impossible!
How did he do it?
In ancient times, when transporting grain, the greatest fear was that the grain would be damaged, moldy, or consumed due to a long delay.
Therefore, when they set off and returned, they would usually consume more than 50% of their supplies. This was why they needed an army to continuously transport rations.
How did he achieve such a loss of less than ten percent?
Cao Cao suddenly stood up and hurried out of the tent."Where is Yixuan? Bring me to him!"
Xun Yu and the others followed behind him. Xiahou Dun, who was dumbstruck, also came out. He had only casually suppressed Xu Zhen, thinking that if he failed this time, he would punish him as a punishment.
But now...
less than 10% of the 200,000 rations had been consumed?
Adding on the rations that their army carried with them, they could last until next year.
With so much food, they were fighting for wealth.
Moreover…
Xiahou Dun suddenly thought of a deeper meaning…
If that was the case, every battle in the future would have a rapid allocation of rations, and the cities would form a mutual support.
There would no longer be a situation where they would lose due to insufficient rations.
The enemy would have to pay a higher price to take out a city, even if it was just a small one.
As a general, he naturally understood the significance of the rapid transportation of grain.
This person…was he really born in the end?
"Hmm…
How did he manage to be resourceful and have martial arts skills at the same time…"
Xiahou Dun suddenly realized that his heart was aching even more…Outside the
tent, Xu Zhen was followed by a guard as strong as an ox. He was wearing armor and holding two halberds. He looked ferocious.
Compared to Xu Zhen, it was the size of a buffalo and a sheep.
Cao Cao subconsciously took a second look and asked,""
Oh, he's called Dian Wei, my grain transport officer. He'll be my guard in the future," Xu Zhen said with a smile."After all, I'm a civil official. It's reasonable for me to have a general as my guard, right?”
You…Cao
Cao really wanted to complain, but the words fell from his mouth.
"Yixuan, how long did it take you to get from Chenliu camp to Xuzhou, and you only used 10%?”
"I only spent eight days, seven days.”
What was that?
Cao Cao's eyes widened, his hands clasped tightly behind his back.
"Impossible, this is a 30-day journey!”
Cao Cao estimated that it would take at least 30 days, and he had to let the heavens be merciful.
Eight days…what kind of transportation method was this? It was heaven-defying!!
P.S.: Sigh, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'll add more and more. Please support me with the data. Don't be a troll. If you have any suggestions, I'll change them. It's very simple.
