Cao Cao saw that he had established his prestige and changed his tone,
"Now, let me tell you the second option.”
This time, Ding Jia had learned his lesson. He quietly looked at Cao Cao on the high platform and did not say a word.
"You don't have to worry about the distribution of the gold, and you don't have to bear the risk of taking my head. As long as you do as I say, when we reach Chen Liu, I'll give each of you half a hanging coin.”
"Really?"
Hearing this question, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
"This Cao has always been a man of his word. If my words are false, I will take his head and hand it over to you to exchange for money in Luoyang. Not only will everyone get half a string of money this time, but from now on, as long as you do as I say, you will get half a string of money every time!”
Whoosh!
For a moment, there was an uproar below.
Half a string of money was half a string.
Compared with thousands of gold, it is far away.
However, the amount of thousands of gold was too huge, so huge that these ordinary people had never seen so much money in their entire lives. Therefore, they felt that it was unreal.
Moreover, this money was not easy to get, and it was not easy to divide.
However, half a string of coins was different.
To them, this was still a huge sum of money. Moreover, they could see and touch it.
It was very real and convincing.
When the heated discussion gradually died down, Cao Cao asked calmly,""What do you think?"
A thousand people knelt down in unison and shouted in unison,"I'm willing to serve Lord Cao!"
Even Lu Boshe, who was observing the situation from afar, was a little jealous.
He had spent a lot of money to provide for these guards. How could Cao Mengde make these ungrateful wolves obey him willingly after only meeting him once?
Chen Gong appeared beside Lu Boshe and comforted him in a low voice,
"Duke Lu, you don't have to be jealous. Cao Mengde was born in the army after all. He had made great contributions to the crusade against the Yellow Turban in his early years, so he became a valiant cavalry lieutenant along the way.”
" I don't have any other intentions," Lu Boshe hurriedly explained." I'm just lamenting. I'm just lamenting."”
"This is chaotic times," Chen Gong said with a smile.”
Lü Boshe drove people to give them kindness, provided them with good food and drink, and took care of them all the time.
Cao Cao sent people to help him. There weren't so many twists and turns. He was just doing things for money.
The two were essentially the same.
However, the former was far less enthusiastic than the latter. This was human nature.
"Alright, now listen to my orders. Everyone prepare a torch and leave the village.”
In a short while, the manor servants prepared their torches and left the manor in high spirits.
Just as Chen Tong was about to move, he was stopped by Cao Cao.
"Brother Tong, these farmers can't fight a tough battle without a battle formation. When you see Guan Hai later, go out and challenge him. He will see that you are young and will definitely not refuse.”
Cao Cao really wanted these servants.
At the same time, Cao Cao knew that it was unrealistic for them to fight the Yellow Turban elites for half a string of money.
"Big brother, I don't quite understand."
"What don't you understand?"
"If we just let these village servants wave flags and shout at the back, there's no need to pay so much money, right?”
"Brother, you have to understand that I didn't give you this money for nothing. The next time, they would subconsciously think that it was easy to do things with me and they would get paid.”
“......”
Was this the scheme of a top-notch big shot?
..........
To the west of Chenggao, halfway up a mountain, the temporary stronghold of the Yellow Turban was located.
The Yellow Turban had lasted for more than five years and was no longer as powerful as it was in the past.
The houses were basically made of wood, and then some straw was laid on them to survive.
If they were stripped of their Yellow Turban and thrown outside, they would be no different from the homeless refugees on the road, let alone the Yellow Turban elites.
"Chief, not only did Lu Boshe refuse to hand over the rations, he also gathered many local soldiers in the village. Clearly, he doesn't intend to form a good relationship with us.”
"I asked you to find out what kind of rich and heartless actions this person usually does. Have you found out clearly?”
"I've never heard of this, but I heard that Lu Boshe is the sworn brother of the former Grand Commandant Cao Song.”
When the leader heard this, he immediately perked up.
"Cao Song? Is he the adopted son of the Great Eunuch Cao Teng?"
"Yes, it's him."
"Good! After befriending the eunuchs, he secretly did something to oppress the people. He went to order his brothers to cook at midnight and set off at five. I will personally flatten the Lu Family Residence.”
"Alright."
Without waiting for his subordinate to give the order, a small soldier wearing a yellow turban stumbled in.
"Chief, the Lu Family Village's soldiers are invading. The leader calls himself Cao Cao, and there's a young man at the foot of the mountain calling for battle.”
"What are you panicking for?" The canal commander laughed sinisterly. I haven't even gone to find trouble with him, but he's already delivered himself to my doorstep. I'll go and meet them!”
In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn,
The gate of the temporary stronghold opened from the inside.
A group of about five hundred people came out from the inside.
The leader was seven feet eight inches tall, with a burly figure and a fierce expression. He carried a ring-shaped saber on his shoulder and sat on a thin horse. He swayed forward and pointed his saber."You're the one who came to challenge me, you reckless kid? The battlefield is the lord's business. I won't kill you, but get your master to come out and die.”
Chen Tong took a closer look.
Name: Guan Hai (No Words)
[Strength: 89 (Constitution: 90, Martial Arts: 87, Courage: 90)]
[Intelligence: 36 (Military strategy 55, strange plan 26, strategy 15)]
[Commander: 74 (March 73, Formation 65, Army Management 77)]
[Political Affairs: 20 (People's Lives: 25, Criminal Law: 10, Knowledge of People: 38)]
a pity
If Guan Hai's overall martial strength was one point higher, Chen Tong would get 10 points.
It seemed like he only had 5 points left to earn.
