Chapter 394 Inspecting Duyang
A few days later, Cao Cao asked Dian Wei to come over again and asked Yang Ling to go to the mansion to discuss.
When Yang Ling came to the Wei Palace, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others had been waiting for a long time.
"I've met the King of Wei."
Yang Ling bowed and bowed.
"Zi Yi is here."
Cao Cao laughed and said hello, and then asked,
"The army has been prepared these days. I wonder how Ziyi, you are?"
"Reporting to the King of Wei, my subordinates have prepared it. Just wait for the King of Wei to order, my subordinates can set off for Nanyang County."
Yang Ling replied.
"Since that's the case, then you will set out to go south tomorrow. Who do you want to take on this trip? Just say hello to the court."
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then asked as if he had thought of something,
"Do you have a way to learn about the enlightenment reading I told you a few days ago?"
"The King of Wei ordered, how dare I be negligent?"
Yang Ling took out the three enlightenment books in his arms and handed them to Cao Cao.
"I have worked hard in the past few days to compile three works, which is the most suitable way to serve as an enlightenment textbook for public schools."
Hearing this, Cao Cao was moved.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others who were standing beside him couldn't help but come up and look with Cao Cao.
"At the beginning of man, one's nature is good..."
"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast..."
"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang..."
After watching, everyone present looked shocked.
Compared with the enlightenment textbooks used in the world, Yang Ling's three works are catchy and more suitable for children's enlightenment.
The most important thing is that these three works are concise and contain profound truths, which can be passed down for thousands of years and sung by the world!
"Zi Yi's talent is not inferior to lonely!"
Seeing three works that could be called kings, Cao Cao couldn't help but praise them.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others on the side twitched.
Is this called not below you? It is obviously above you!
After reading it a few more times, Cao Cao reluctantly put down three works and said to Xun Yu,
"Xun Lingjun, quickly copy these articles and send them to various public schools as children's enlightenment teaching materials."
"The official follows the order."
Xun Yu bowed.
"Zi Yi has made another contribution today. When you return from Nanyang, I will reward you with great rewards."
Cao Cao laughed.
"Then I will thank the King of Wei in advance."
Yang Ling bowed.
...
After returning to the mansion, Yang Ling packed up his greetings and said goodbye to his wives and concubines, so that he could embark on a journey to Nanyang County the next day.
Cao Cao is now old and his health is not as good as before.
Yang Ling is the only one he can reuse.
In order to successfully capture Jingzhou, Cao Cao was also extremely generous to Yang Ling.
Not only did he choose the military generals and counselors he needed, but he decided on military and political affairs in the Nanyang County area, and he also met all the requirements.
This time Yang Ling went south, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao are naturally indispensable.
In addition, Jiang Wei, Gao Rou, Gao Shun, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Hu Cheer, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai and others also followed the army.
Yang Ling originally wanted to transfer Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong over, but then he thought that once he attacked Jingzhou, Sun Quan from Jiangdong would naturally not be able to sit still.
It is most appropriate to let Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others take charge of Hefei.
The group of people rode fast horses lightly, and in just a few days, they arrived at Duyang.
Upon hearing the news of Yang Ling's arrival, Cao Ren, the highest commander in the city, came out to greet him personally.
After both sides made some courtesy, Cao Ren came to Chengzhong County Government Office with Yang Ling.
"It's been a hard work for General Zixiao to station in Duyang for so long."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"It's not hard to work for the Han Dynasty, His Majesty, and the King of Wei."
Cao Ren smiled discontently.
"By the way, I wonder if Jingzhou has ever committed any of the incidents during this period?"
"I've been here a few times, but they're mainly harassment."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling nodded.
It seems that Cai Yu's pillow style is quite useful.
Before Liu Biao died, it would be impossible for Jingzhou to use troops as strongly as last time.
"Since the general is here under the order of the King of Wei, the general will be in charge of all military affairs."
Cao Ren stood up with a smile,
"I'll ask the general to go with the last general to inspect."
Cao Ren has been operating in Duyang for so long. If someone else had been airborne, he would have been a little unhappy.
But Yang Ling is different. Since Cao Cao started his army, Cao Ren has met Yang Ling.
Besides, Yang Ling has made great achievements over the years, and Cao Ren admires him from the bottom of his heart!
"Then I'll trouble General Zixiao."
Yang Ling also stood up.
So under Cao Ren's leadership, Yang Ling and his group began to patrol Duyang City.
During the period of time stationed in Duyang, Cao Ren did not dare to be careless.
While repairing and strengthening the city walls, he trained soldiers, repaired armor and weapons, and sent scouts to strengthen combat readiness.
After Yang Ling inspected the tour, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Cao Ren, who is famous for his defense, is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Cao Cao let him station in Duyang!
"A total of 100,000 troops were stationed in Duyang, of which 50,000 were elite soldiers, and they only need daily practice on weekdays."
While telling Yang Ling, Cao Ren took them out of the city.
"The other 50,000 are the troops stationed in the army. While being responsible for the farming, they also need to receive regular training."
Although Cao Cao implemented the new policy at Yang Ling's suggestion, the imperial court's warehouses were full.
However, the consumption of marching and fighting is still quite burdened on the court.
Not to mention that these 100,000 troops are stationed in Duyang, and the food consumed by daily light is an astronomical figure.
Therefore, Cao Ren divided half of the army to carry out military farming to reduce the burden on the court.
Looking at the endless and endless farmland in front of him, Yang Ling couldn't help but praise,
"It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have a general guarding Duyang!"
"The general is too good. Compared with the general, what is the last contribution? "
Cao Ren said a few words to his eldest son Cao Tai,
"Go and call the Diannong Captain who is in charge of this place, and report the situation to the general in more detail."
"Here!"
Cao Tai took the order and left.
After a while, he returned, with the Diannong Commander who was in charge of military farming affairs and a group of officials under his command.
"We have seen the general!"
Everyone respectfully bowed to Yang Ling.
"Cai Kun, today the general is here to inspect. You can report the specific situation of the military farm to the general."
Cao Tai ordered.
"That...this...the specific situation of the military farming...is actually very good..."
Cai Kun, the Diannong Commander, stammered, but couldn't say one, two, three.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Cao Ren, who had just been praised by Yang Ling, suddenly felt dull and shouted sternly.
"You are responsible for the military farming affairs here, don't you know yet?"
Just as Cai Kun's face turned red and he didn't know what to do, a young man with a tender face stood up behind him.
Chapter completed!
