Chapter 229
Soon, Cao Cao had already covered in armor and came to the army to summon all the generals.
He ordered people to take out the map, and then pointed to the Yingshui River in Xu County and announced: "The enemy is plundering in Ruyang. After about ten days, cross the Yingshui River and head north, and you can come to Xu County in two days! Our goal is to reach the edge of Yingshui River in one day, and then build a dam upstream with civil engineering to increase the water level. When the enemy crosses the river, open the dam and use Yingshui to attack the enemy's army!"
After saying that, he looked directly at the generals in the army: "Where is Cao Ren?"
Cao Ren stepped out, clasped his fists with his hands, and shouted: "I'm here!"
"You are ordered to take 20,000 baggage troops and set off immediately to the upper reaches of Yingshui for construction. You must arrive within one day. You must build the dam for me within eight days at the latest. Can you?" Cao Cao asked immediately.
"Please it on me!" Cao Ren immediately took the order. She knew very well that if the answer could not be done, Cao Cao would change it. But in this way, he would be embarrassed.
Cao Cao nodded, then pointed to a location on the map, and issued a formal order: "Now, lead troops immediately to this place, and do not delay!"
"Get orders!" Cao Ren immediately responded with his fists, and took his soldiers to the headquarters to count the baggage and soldiers. In fact, the concept of one day is still very abundant. It is only in the morning, and she has half a day to count the supplies and manpower, and then set off in the afternoon, and the calculation will only start the next day.
Of course, she could arrive in two days and then spend seven days to build the dam, but in this way, time is urgent.
"Xiahou Dun and are here?" Cao Cao immediately shouted.
"I'm here!" Xiahou Dun came out, and at this moment she was wearing armor and handsomely. The missing eye did not destroy this feeling, but instead had a little more power.
"You are the forward, camp here first!" Cao Cao pointed to the map, which was located downstream, only three miles away from Cao Ren's dam building in the upper reaches.
"Subordinate to the order!" Xiahou Dun clasped his fists and immediately counted the troops. The vanguard army had a lot of work, not only to explore the way, but also to build bridges and pave roads to ensure the marching of the central army.
"Others, have a good rest and set off immediately as soon as tomorrow dawn!" Cao Cao immediately ordered the rest.
Among the central army, Cao Cao was actually in charge, Cao Ang was also in the army, and the rest were the Guards, Dian Wei and Xiahou En. If you really want to calculate, Wang Yong himself also counted. In terms of civil servants, the marching chefs, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were responsible for coordination and staff, as well as a group of officials responsible for the military's orders, documents and logistics, and there were four or five military officers responsible for giving advice.
Although there are excellent military advisors like Xun Yu and Guo Jia, there is no way that there are only two men of an army's staff system. It can only be said that these talents who join the army are insufficient and cannot leave a single thing in history, but it is still possible to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
After all, creation may be difficult, but improvement is still easy.
Today, we will call everyone here temporarily, and many things will definitely not be able to be improved. This half day is actually the time required for civil servants to complete the follow-up procedures. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have wasted such a time if he could go to the battle.
"I won't go back to Zhuangzi tonight." After disbanding, Xun Yu came to Wang Yong, "a lot of things to do..."
"Your ability also find it difficult?" Wang Yong quipped after hearing this.
"It's really nothing before. After all, everything belongs to the lord, so you only need to complete some basic arrangements, and some things can even be checked and re-issued. But now it's not possible. The lord has supported the Emperor of Han and re-established the court, so you must abide by the rules of the court. For example..." Xun Yu said this and looked at Wang Yong, "If we want to use troops to the outside world, we must first get the permission of His Majesty. After all, this is a mobilization of 30,000 people!"
"I need my help?" Wang Yong immediately heard the implication of her words.
"Yes, you need to go to the palace and ask Your Majesty for a decree. Without this decree, our troops will be in compliance with the rules! Xun Yu nodded. The second side effect of support appeared, just like the first side effect, was aimed at their subordinates.
What Cao Cao could do was to arrange for them to make contributions to the greatest extent and then continue to improve their positions based on this. For example, Xun Yu was promoted to Shizhong, guarding the Shangshu Order, and would continue to be promoted in the future. Other military generals also had promotions, with the purpose of so-called old ministers, so that they would not be at a disadvantage when they faced with the so-called old ministers.
But he can't promote too quickly, so as not to be sealed. The standard must be well grasped, and Cao Cao is not easy either.
"Okay, leave it to me!" Wang Yong felt that he could do this.
"Also!" Xun Yu suddenly became solemn, "It's a must for dinner!"
"Understand!" Wang Yong heard this, this foodie was still the same.
Wang Yong came to the kitchen of the palace wearing armor. At this time, it was obvious that it was already past lunch. The servants were cleaning up the plates, bowls and chopsticks that had been eaten, but they saw Wang Yong wearing armor walking in.
"Sir, why are you back?" The servant couldn't help but ask carefully.
"Your Majesty, are you back?" Wang Yong looked around and didn't see Liu Xie.
"Why don't you leave? Your Majesty will go back. It is said that there is a class in the afternoon to listen to." The servant whispered. This was something he heard by accident, but it was not easy to say it openly.
"Well... it seems that I have to go and look for her..." Wang Yong nodded, then turned around and left.
When he arrived at the palace, the first person he met was Xu Huang, who now patrolled the army with a soldier. To be honest, his identity was obviously the safest to protect the palace. At least, no matter what happened, he would do everything he could to protect Liu Xie's safety.
"Sir, why are you..." Seeing Wang Yong coming, Xu Huang was stunned and stepped forward to ask.
"Shizhong Xun has no time to ask me for an order. I don't know if Your Majesty is here?" Wang Yong stepped forward and asked.
"Your Majesty is inside. I will listen to Situ (Lu Zhi)'s lecture later. It's just right to go in now!" Xu Huang was also considered a 'his own person', so naturally he would not make things difficult for Wang Yong.
After Wang Yong received the notice and allowed, he successfully entered the palace. Liu Xie was naturally very happy to see him, especially in his armor, he looked very heroic, but unfortunately his height was a little different, only 1.73 meters tall.
Of course, Liu Xie didn't mind when he explained his purpose, so he came to the imperial case, picked up a blank imperial edict, filled in the contents in a few "swish" times, then picked up the jade seal and covered it, blowing the ink marks dry, and then handed it to Wang Yong.
"You need to come back safely!" Liu Xie said with a smile as he watched Wang Yong take over the imperial edict.
