"My lord, you were the one who said there was no need to be so formal.”As he walked through the camp, he saw the soldiers coming and going. Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao's footsteps were a little fast, so he went forward and smiled.
'Don't Be Pretentious'…
He was not only not reserved, he was not treating himself as an outsider. When Cao Cao thought of this, his face twitched again.
"Hmph hmph, it's fine, Wen Ruo is worrying too much.”
Cao Cao smiled magnanimously.
"Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles.”
"Hahaha! I'm fine."
"It's fine, Wen Ruo, don't worry."
Xun Yu's footsteps slowed down a little, and his expression gradually became awkward.
He repeated it three times in a row, repeatedly emphasizing it…
Thinking of this, they quickened their pace again.
Forget it, I'll go and see what happened first.
Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and the others were all dumbfounded and filled with disbelief.
Therefore, everyone walked quickly towards the camp.
……
Not long after.
Almost all the surrendered soldiers had rushed out of the huge camp and gathered on the large field, talking to each other.
"Within three years, we can obtain rice and grain reserves! They could even have a house to live in and would definitely not go hungry! Can he really guarantee that?"
"General, you can guarantee it with your life!"
"Of course I have to go!"
"Everyone who joins the army will receive one gold and half a bushel of food next month! From next year onwards, you will be able to get pork every month. When have you ever seen such rich conditions?!”
"Please ask General Xu to come back! Why did he only ask for 3,000 people!”
"Someone come! We want to see Cao Gong!"
"I want to follow General Xu. I have eight family members to support. I have parents and children.!!”
"General Xu, General Xu!"
Some people were shouting, some were explaining, so the loud and soft conversations were endless. From afar, it sounded like a vegetable market, noisy.
For a moment, the entire camp was in chaos.
As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he was shocked by this scene.
Oh my god.
What did Xu Zhen say?
These people seemed to have gone crazy.
" Big Brother, I'll go ask." Cao Chun hurriedly ran over with large strides. He then brought hundreds of elite soldiers with him and guarded the outer end to prevent any mutiny.
Not long after, Cao Chun hurried back. His mustache fluttered, and his expression changed drastically. On his thin face, beads of sweat rolled down.
"Big brother, it's over, it's over, it's over!”
"Xu Zhen, that kid, is a traitor!!”
"He actually dared to make such a promise.”
"This is definitely a scam! This kid was up to no good! You can't tolerate it anymore!"
" What?!"
Cao Cao's brows twitched as his heart jumped.
Swindling soldiers into the camp?
This was a big taboo!
"Tell me in detail!"
Cao Cao's tone turned cold. If he was really cheating, then it was a problem with his temperament. Looking at how polite he was, he didn't seem like a cunning person.
How could he do such a thing?
This was a trick only bandits used to swindle local soldiers or fierce men into their ranks with false promises, thus recruiting soldiers and buying horses.
In the future, if these people were sent to their deaths, it could be converted into compensation. The promise from before could not be carried out, but a large number of new soldiers would be sent to their deaths.
But how could these Yellow Turban Moth Bandits be new?!
These were all old foxes who had been on the battlefield for many years. Once they discovered any clues, they would definitely mutiny.
After the mutiny, Yanzhou might suffer even greater losses!
How could Cao Cao not be afraid!
Moreover, who gave Xu Zhen the guts to actually dare to do such a thing of swindling soldiers into the camp!
"He, he promised that within three years, he would be able to let the soldiers in his camp settle down and have surplus food in their homes. They would also be able to get pork and a monthly salary of three buckets of rice.”
"San Dou! Everyone! What right does he have to make such a promise!"
"Moreover, he has already given everyone a gold coin and is going to collect the military equipment into the camp. This, this is going to be a big deal!”
Cao Chun's eyes were filled with fear. They had never dared to do such a thing.
Even Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, the two military strategists, were speechless at this moment. They could not advise Xu Zhen at all. He had committed a great taboo.
Under such a situation, there were certainly brave men, but what should they do after that?!
How are you going to fulfill your promise? With such great benefits, even if you send your soldiers to their deaths, you will have to pay a lot of compensation, and…
The most important thing was…
Now, he was using Cao Cao's reputation to calm the hearts of these surrendered soldiers. If he was discovered in the future, it would also damage the lord's reputation.
The one who was cursed the most was Cao Cao.
This was simply too much. There was really no way to persuade him.
"Preposterous…"
Cao Cao's face was ashen.
At this moment, his hands were trembling because he heard this.
He even said…that he would leave the remaining tens of thousands to me?!
How could I dare to promise you these words?!
Within three years, he had to collect at least 500,000 dans of grain every year for it to be possible. Now that the situation was unstable and he was about to miss the spring plowing season, what should he do with this year's grain?!
"Zihe."
"Bring Xu Zhen to me immediately!"
"Here!"
Cao Chun's expression darkened when he received the military order. He placed his left hand on the hilt of his saber and shouted,"Guards, follow me and bring Xu Zhen here!!! General Xu, General Yu, you guys hold down these surrendered soldiers first!”
"Yes, sir!"
The generals immediately dispersed, and the 300 soldiers quickly gathered and followed Cao Chun toward Xu Zhen's camp.
Their campsite was located in the eastern side of the mountain. It had expanded a lot, but it was still in a corner.
Now that they had obtained the military equipment, they were probably still piling it up.
After all, the army wouldn't stay in Shouzhang for too long. They would return to Chenliu or Juancheng sooner or later.
Cao Chun was very confident that if he was fast enough, Xu Zhen would not be able to react in time. He would be able to take him down at lightning speed and bring him to his lord.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if the three thousand people wanted to rebel.
……
Not long after.
Cao Cao returned to the main tent in a huff, gasping for breath. He was escorted back to his seat by Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.
Her heart was so tired that she could not breathe.
Mistake, mistake!
I actually believed a general who had no education experience at all. I actually tolerated such a general.
When he disobeyed military orders, he should be beheaded!
"This time, no matter what he says, I will definitely punish him severely. Otherwise, I won't be able to maintain military discipline!”
Cao Cao said in a low voice.
His voice was hoarse and deep, which was enough to show his anger.
He sat on the futon and waited for Cao Chun to bring Xu Zhen over.
"My lord, please calm down and don't get angry. Fortunately, only 3,000 people believe his words. The rest of the surrendered soldiers are not too crazy. We can still control them.”
Xi Zhicai bowed deeply and said,""We will quickly discuss how to settle them and try our best to satisfy these surrendered soldiers. If we can settle them, I think they will accept it.”
This was the only way.
Cao Cao remained silent. Although he could suppress the matter, he needed his civil officials to rack their brains to deal with the aftermath for Xu Zhen.
His casual arrogant words caused these surrendered soldiers to be so agitated. The others had to rack their brains to come back to their senses.
How can we tolerate it?
"Even so, I still want Xu Zhen to pay the price.”
Bang!
Cao Cao slammed the table heavily.
"Hmm?"
Then, he was puzzled to find that there was a scroll on the table.
The signature was…Xu Zhen.
Cao Cao's expression froze. He opened the bamboo scroll and glanced at it.
He was immediately stunned.
"Military camp, cultivate and plant to store military funds…"
What the f * ck?
Cao Cao's eyelids twitched.
He immediately raised his head and said to Xun Yu,"Quick!! Go stop Zihe and invite Fengyi over!”
"Invite him, be polite!"
" Oh, oh." Xun Yu did not understand what had happened and quickly turned around to leave the tent.
"Run!"
Just as he left the tent, Cao Cao's shout came from behind him.
Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace.
