Chapter 74
Can I sit and watch?
Well, for the sake of his own mind, Wang Hou didn't say this sentence, but stood up helplessly from the cushion, and walked to the central corridor with four fingers in a standard ceremonial posture with his thumb upwards.
"Prime Minister, the lower officials are originally warehouse officials. The military and national affairs are not reasonable. However, since the Prime Minister asked, the lower officials had to say anything. However, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me for my crime!"
Now that I have many people staring at him, I have to buy the insurance first! Sure enough, listening to his words, Cao Cao waved his face impatiently.
"It's not a sin to say, but it's okay to say it!"
"Prime Minister, in fact, the most important thing to ask is not the subordinates, but yourself. You are the ones who are inseparable from Yuan Shao and Yuan Gong. You once had a heroic countryside and were inseparable from you. You know the temper of Yuan Gong the best. If the Prime Minister was Yuan Gong, would he take advantage of the Prime Minister's army to pacify Lu Bu that he hated, in addition to sending troops to Xu Du, or wait for you, an old friend to come back. Relying on the absolute advantage of the four prefectures of Hebei, Yan Zhao's generous and tragic singers and the war horses from the north are defeating you?"
As soon as these words were said, Xun Yu, who had just raised the question, frowned obviously, but Cao Cao's expression relaxed a little.
"And Duke Yuan is still a little inferior to the Prime Minister. Under the command of Duke Yuan, Tian Feng was born in Jizhou, Xin Ping Guo Tu was born in Yingchuan, and Xu You from Nanyang, Feng Ji, excluding each other, fighting for power and profit, and fighting for endless struggles. Moreover, the journey to Hebei is long. Even if Duke Yuan is determined to go straight to Xudu, he cannot unify his ministers' opinions without a short period of half a year. On the contrary, under the command of the Prime Minister, everyone is united and supported by the ministers. If the Prime Minister goes to war, it is like an instructor. Therefore, I believe that as long as you can defeat the Lu bandits within three to six months, there will be no worries in the north!"
Wang Hou talked with his head raised, but the second half made Cao Cao's originally calm expression startle and startled. He opened his mouth to ask, but he swallowed it again when he was about to speak, but nodded with a heavy emphasis.
Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't ask. Wang Hou's words were made out because he understood this history and knew that the biggest advantage of time travelers had happened. However, in this era, the conflicts between factions under his command were all the highest military secrets of the faction. For example, Wang Hou now has conflicts with a large number of high-ranking officials, including the Grand Secretary, the Grand Duke, the Father-in-law, and the Father-in-law, but it is limited to the faction. No one will specifically spread it. If Cao Cao asked how to find out the conflict under Yuan Shao, Wang Hou would really not be able to answer it.
"The original intention is to decide! The Lu thief is fickle, arrogant, arrogant, disobedient, disobeyed, and even colluded with Yuan Shu to rebel, attacked the court's personal title of the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Xuande, and then openly rebelled, and was unpardoned! He was a great generation of emperor to attack him!"
"Former General Xiahou Dun, Changshui School Captain Le Jin, and Ru led the Dominic Mansion's three thousand troops, and recruited 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers as vanguards, first responded to Liu Bei's defeated army, and recaptured Xiaopei! Stop Lu Bu's way to advance westward!"
"I will obey the order!"
Xiahou Dun and Le Jin, who was named after the name, were both happy and held his fists and agreed. On the other side, Xun Yu's brows frowned tightly. Although the current situation was like sailing against the current, if he did not advance, he would retreat as soon as possible. If he could not sweep away Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu in the east and southwest directions as soon as possible, Cao Cao's power could not compete with the huge Yuan Shao group in the north. If he fought with Lu Bu, he had to fire the arrow! But to his surprise, Wang Hou's influence on Cao Cao was so great! After asking for Wang Hou's opinions, Cao Cao did not discuss with anyone anymore, and he had already made up his mind.
And there were more than these unexpected things. After accepting the vanguard general, Cao Cao immediately took Wang Hou out again.
"Cangcao Wanghou! You immediately allocated 20,000 stones of grain from Taicang to provide Xiahou Dun's vanguard army as an army. In addition, I will give you the right to recruit civil servants from all counties and counties. After preparing the vanguard army, set off from Xuchang immediately, collect this year's autumn grain along the way, and station it in Xiaoxian! Supply the front-line army, and do not make any mistakes!"
"Prime Minister, the lower officials are just warehouses, local collection and population allocation, and the power of the Secretary-General..."
"Transfer Cao Hongjie as your deputy! Cangtun Captain Zhao Yun will accompany you! Go down!"
This is another troublesome thing that offends people. Wang Hou was sadly trying to postpone it, but Cao Cao gave the order without any objection. He also arranged for him, the two old partners Cao Hongjie and Zhao Yun. With Cao Xiaoniu supervising the work, he should not think about being lazy. He could only hold his fists helplessly.
"Only obey the order!"
At least he took Zhao Yun out, and he was not in Xudu or on the front line for the time being. He was temporarily on guard against Liu Da'er's hookup. Moreover, the military arrangements, recruiting military soldiers, etc. were not what he, a small warehouseman, should care about. He had no choice but to receive the order. Wang Hou bowed his farewell and left the meeting hall.
However, he went out of the door with a worried look on his face, but he didn't notice at all. Xun Yu was a little lost. His eyes followed him out of the door and stopped in the direction of his disappearance. It was not until Cao Cao pondered and pointed his name, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and stood up quickly.
"Zhong Lingzhong, Shangshu Cheng! After the original minister's expedition to Xuzhou in the east, I have to trouble you to take care of Xu Du's big and big things!"
"Sir, obey the order!"
Holding his fist, Xun Yu responded dullly, and the left-behind accepted his orders and Cheng Yu. It seemed that Cao Cao's trust in him was still the same as before, but as Wang Hou said just now, recruiting local civil servants and transporting military rations, all of which were originally his powers of the Secretariat, but now Cao Cao has stripped them out and given them to Wang Hou, which has finally fallen into Xun Yu's heart.
…………
I feel so tired every day, but I am retribution this time. The end of my life!
In this era, Cao Cao's work efficiency was still very high. After all, in the era of warlord separatism, he had long been eliminated as he was as delayed as during the Han Dynasty!
As soon as Wang Hou came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiahou Dun came to his house. After half a year of reform in Wang Hou, Taicang's efficiency has also improved a lot. He immediately allocated grain according to the booklet, allocated 10,000 shi of military rations from each sub-warehouse, and directly stored in the empty warehouses No. 16 to 18.
The civilians of the Pioneer Army were not worried about Wang Hou. In the past few days, seventy or eighty percent of the battlefield were used to fight. The additional 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers allocated were probably the coolies for this transportation. After the Qingzhou soldiers were summoned to Xudu, they would be responsible for the transportation.
However, Wang Hou was even more careful here. He pulled Xiahou Dun to inspect and deliver the goods on the spot. He filled a warehouse and directly posted a seal, and handed it over to Xiahou Dun's personal soldiers to personally guard it, so as to save any mistakes at that time and find him on the head.
He was so tired that he was so tired that he was in trouble this day. Mr. Cao's temporary emergency meeting was held at about 1:00 noon. After delivering the food that day, it was almost 1:00 a.m. when he returned home in the evening. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun accompanied him. Otherwise, according to the night prohibition law of this era, he would not be able to leave Taicang and could only deal with it for one night.
However, he was not at ease after returning to the mansion. As soon as the door was opened, Wang Fu looked helpless. Cao Hongjie, who was used to going to bed early but stayed up until midnight, had already emerged excitedly.
"Are you going out again?"
"Hey, hey, talk! Why are you swaying? Open your eyes!!!"
…………
The show is even bigger now. In addition to his own 100 pieces, Zhao Yun's 400 grain troop troops were added, and 500 people were cleared to one water medium armor. He carried a large halberd and marched along the official road with flying loess, which was quite imposing.
But he was wandering in the carriage with Cao Hongjie who was excited and like a monkey, but Wang Hou frowned.
Cao Cao ordered him to replace Xun Yu to open up the food route in advance and provide military rations. This is definitely a promotion. After all, Xu Du looked at Taicang, no matter how outstanding he did, he was still an optional little person. However, supplying military rations was considered to be directly involved in Cao Cao's military operations. Although he was not riding a horse and charging on the front line, he was still the only one and became an indispensable member of the Cao group. His importance was incomparable to the past.
However, this is really not a good job. Almost all self-cultivated farmers have been forced to go bankrupt by fierce wars and turbulent current situations. If they want to recruit civil servants, they can only second them with local aristocratic families in Yanzhou. The reason why this is the job of the Secretariat Xun Yu is because he is a member of the Yanzhou clan, and before that he was mainly responsible for communicating with local aristocratic families.
Perhaps it was because he was too dependent on Xun Yu that Cao Cao intended to replace him with Wang Hou this time, slightly reducing Xun Yu's weight in the entire Cao family group. He knew how much Wang Hou himself was. If he was a humble little person to recruit him, these local aristocratic families might not have given him this face!
How can we let the rice insects in the place sell their face? Pinching the mustache left on the chin, Wang Hou frowned as the carriage swayed.
"Master! Yingyin is ahead! Will you visit Yingyin County when you enter the city?"
Just as Wang Hou was thinking, outside the door, Wang Congge, who knew that he was knocking on the door, suddenly rang out again, and suddenly came to his senses, but Wang Hou vetoed in a hurry.
"I won't enter the city anymore! Continue along the official road and head straight for Liang State!"
"Little one obeys the order!"
Wang Congge's side was easy to deal with, but Cao Hongjie, a small construction worker, was not easy to deal with. She immediately widened her eyes and asked in a hurry: "Didn't the Prime Minister order us to collect the grain tax this autumn along the way as military rations? Go straight to Liang State, will the grain from Yingchuan County and Chenliu County be no longer collected?"
"Jie'er, if an arrow hits your forehead and comes out from the back of your head, but you are not dead, do you know why?"
"Ah? Why!"
It's about collecting food! Suddenly, he pulled the arrow again. Cao Hongjie's little face was suddenly full of confusion and asked in surprise. Who knew that Wang Hou was a row of thighs and hummed in a slutty voice: "Because you have no brains!"
"Go to death! Tell me the truth! I can bully me!"
"You don't like to listen to you because you are brainless. From Yingchuan County to the Pei Kingdom of Liu Bei, there is a total of 800 miles. When you are transported to the front line, you will have to spend one and a half stones of food on the road. You can't even figure out the account. When you get married, your family will be defeated!"
"Besides, there are less than 20,000 people in Xuzhou, and they are divided into several local forces. The real Lu Bu's headquarters in Xiapi City only has more than 10,000 people. If you attack him, you need to fight quickly and decide quickly. There must be no more troops. I expect that at most, there will be 30,000 elite troops and 30,000 people under the command of the Ba Mansion. The war must be ended within three months. Three months, more than 100,000 stones of food is enough! The Liang Kingdom has 1.9 million mu of land in the book, and one ten-final quorum is enough to pay for this war!"
This is also the countermeasure that Wang Hou had just thought. According to convention, Cao Cao would spend a month to recruit troops. The army traveled 60 miles a day, and it would take fifteen days to reach the edge of Liang and Pei, so he only had forty-five days! If the whole two and a half states and more than a dozen counties were struggling, Cao Cao might not be able to prepare the food when he arrived at the front line. So in Northeastern dialect, it would be a disaster for one place!
Moreover, it is the end of July and the beginning of August, and his wheat fields have just matured. Wang Fu is still in a state of great difficulty in organizing the harvest of various villages! The Chenliu area in Yingchuan has just been preparing to harvest autumn grains, and even if they are delayed, they can't collect the grains. It's better to travel for more than ten days. By the time they arrived in Liang Kingdom, they could harvest half of them, and the harvested wheat was just taken away as military rations!
People were forced out. Wang Hou, who had never entered the operation department before traveling through time, was forced to come up with such a meticulous plan. After explanation, Cao Hongjie heard it and heard it, but after a long time of reaction, the girl reacted. Her face turned red and she fisted Wang Hou in anger.
"Who wants to marry you, a useless person! Dream!"
"Hey! This time the Prime Minister openly accepted his fate! I am the chief official! You are the deputy! You dare to openly beat the chief official! You have rebelled against you! Are you owed a tie again?"
He grinned his teeth and covered his weak ribs. Then Wang Hou took the chicken feather arrow again, deliberately pretending to be ferocious and evil, putting out the thin linen hidden in the drawer of the car, and swaying around with his teeth and claws.
Looking at the thing, Cao Hongjie's little face suddenly turned red. Last time he went out, because this thing was bullied by him a lot! In his heart, the girl pinched her waist and big eyes and widened again, and shouted fiercely: "You dare!!!"
"parking!"
After being grasped at once, the girl's face suddenly collapsed again. She lowered her little head sadly and held up the slap she was with her, begging for forgiveness.
"Oh! Isn't it okay if I was wrong?"
The carriage was thicker this time, but it did not block the sound of fighting as if no one was left behind! The sound of flapping sound made Zhao Yun, who was riding a horse next to the carriage, shook his head and thought depressedly.
I am wise and powerful, so why did I follow such a ridiculous lord?
But looking at Ms. Cao's appearance, she wasn't too resistant. Otherwise, I would try it with Ruan'er when I go back?
After all, he is a man! Without Wang Hou's knowledge, Zhao Zilong of Changshan had already begun to become worse under his influence!
…………
Although the war is coming, I have to live with a smile and fight and travel for more than ten days. Halfway through the road, I went to the city to spend the night when I met the county town. If I couldn’t meet it, I would just set up camp in the wild. Wang Hou had lived the RV career that later generations dreamed of. After twelve days of sleeping in the open, Suiyang City, the main city of Liang Kingdom, finally revealed to Wang Hou.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, this city relied on its own to withstand the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms for several months. Until now, mottled arrow marks can still be seen on the top of the city where the bricks are covered with bricks.
However, this time Wang Hou had no intention of missing the past, and he was also facing the difficulty of mobilizing the gentry of Liang State to obtain food and labor from them. Soon after he stayed in the inn, Wang Hou had already started to work hard.
But his busyness was neither visiting Liang's Prime Minister Zou Chang nor asking his grandfather to run around one by one Liang's family, but he first extended his hand to Cao Hongjie.
"When we compile the "Clan Chronicle", did families in various places report this year's list of filial piety and honest people together? Give me the Liang Kingdom's name!"
"What are you going to do!"
