A bowl of fragrant corn was placed in front of He Yan, but He Yan had no intention of eating it. His eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"how?"
At this time, Cao Ren also came over with a bowl of corn, sat down next to He Yan, and picked up the grain in the bowl.
"Still angry?"
Cao Ren chewed two mouthfuls casually: "Don't worry, I will report to Sikong truthfully what happened today. When Sikong wins, Yuan Shao will definitely compensate you."
After eating the meal, Cao Ren seemed to feel embarrassed, so he explained to He Yan: "In fact, there is no other way. There is a general shortage of food in the army. If you don't have this food, we have to use the food in Xuchang City. But this can be done
The faction is bound to cause panic in the city."
"..."
Seeing that He Yan still didn't say anything, Cao Ren simply broke the jar and said, "Then report them all to the Tingwei. I will resist any punishment!"
He Yan then glanced at Cao Ren: "Robbing other people's food is a capital crime. Uncle Ren has really thought about it?"
Cao Ren also felt guilty when he thought of Mao Jie, Chen Qun and other upright officials. He chuckled and said, "Is Yulang really going to sue me?"
He Yan wanted to say something, but still sighed.
"Actually, when I think about it carefully, the three lessons my uncle taught me are quite meaningful."
Thousands of dan of food, no matter how little, not too much, would not make He Yan and Cao Ren angry.
But Cao Ren really sounded a wake-up call to He Yan today.
In troubled times, only soldiers can do anything!
In addition, the Cao family is so shameless, what if that little bastard Cao Pi gets some power and comes back with revenge?
No, that little bastard will definitely come back with revenge!
Then wouldn’t He Yan have to suffer humiliation from now on?
Then Cao Pi completed his counterattack and rode on his head to dominate?
no!
He Yan would never allow such an awesome supporting role to exist!
…
…
After thinking for a long time, He Yan turned his neck, almost into two ninety degrees, and then stared at Cao Ren.
"Uncle Ren, I want to lead the troops!"
————————
————————
After He Yan and Cao Ren reached a consensus, they followed Cao Ren to learn the art of war.
Cao Ren, like Cao Cao, was trained in leading troops in battles on the battlefield. He could not explain clearly with his words, and he could not teach even if he was taught.
After explaining the most basic affairs to He Yan, Cao Ren simply handed over the command of the army to He Yan temporarily. Every time He Yan gave an order, it would be implemented immediately as long as Cao Ren agreed.
"Uncle Ren, where should we camp?"
"Uncle Ren, when should the soldiers get up in the morning?"
"Uncle Ren..."
He Yan was not polite to Cao Ren. He asked Cao Ren any questions he had. Even when a soldier was sick, he eagerly asked Cao Ren how to deal with it.
Cao Ren was short-tongued and soft-handed. Although he was a little impatient, he still tried his best to answer He Yan's questions.
…
Practice is the best teacher.
After only three days in the army, He Yan understood the rules of the army's daily encampment, baggage, etc.
Commanding in the army is actually much easier than doing things in official circles or shopping malls.
One is one, two is two.
Elsewhere, some may raise objections, but in the military, all you have to do is obey!
"No wonder the civil servants in later generations always thought that warriors were vulgar."
"When a civil official makes a decision, he often has to consider the balance of forces, background, temperament, etc. of all parties."
"But the military commander is comfortable. At least no one in his own army dares to refute it."
Of course, this comparison is not comprehensive.
The supreme prestige of generals in the army is based on the "lives" of soldiers.
Only generals who can win battles and save the lives of soldiers are good generals. If you change to a general who is often defeated, these soldiers with strong execution ability will become ** in the next second, let you know what "vulgar warriors" mean
.
But let’s just say that, after all, those who are often defeated will probably not be able to become generals...
The reason why He Yan was able to experience the joy of being a general in this army was all because the fox pretended to be the tiger's power and took advantage of Cao Ren.
He wanted to lead these soldiers by himself, fearing that he would be eaten alive.
"The rules in this industry are indeed different."
"In other words, this taste of power is really wonderful."
He Yan, who was nourished by power for the first time, was a little unable to control himself, let alone others?
"The military is the amplifier of power."
At this moment, He Yan once again gained a new understanding of various disputes in history.
However, this borrowed power went away as quickly as it came, and Cao Ren soon began to lead the army himself.
Not because he is stingy, but because they have discovered the enemy!
He Yan was also shocked when he heard the news: "Uncle Ren, could it be possible that Liu Beijun was discovered?"
"Um."
When Cao Ren talked about military affairs, he seemed to be a different person. He was not frivolous or reckless at all, but was extremely calm.
"Man Chong, the governor of Runan, sent me information, saying that traces of Liu Bei were found in Ruyang and Nandun."
"How many people are there in Liu Bei's army?"
"About a thousand people."
He Yan was relieved after hearing this number.
Liu Bei's wars were actually very fierce, but after all, he did not have a stable base, and the quality of his soldiers varied between good and bad.
Of those thousand soldiers, it is estimated that half are made up of rogue bandits who are inferior to Cao Ren's current field soldiers...
With such a strong advantage, even if Liu Bei is still accompanied by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Cao Ren can easily defeat him.
"But before that, we will first go to Shangcai, where a bandit army of about a thousand people has gathered to respond to Liu Bei, and we will attack them first!"
Cao Ren's tone was full of solemnity.
Even though Runan's rebellion was justified.
But rebellion is rebellion!
If we don't kill some people, the situation will not stabilize in a short time.
Cao Ren immediately started the forced march mode and headed towards Shangcai, hoping to catch the opponent off guard.
At this time, the bandit soldiers gathered in Shangcai did not know that Cao Ren had led his army to approach, but they happily shared the food.
Liu Bei is very charming.
But his charm cannot be deified. It does not mean that people are willing to follow Liu Bei as soon as they hear his name. Specifically, it is because of what Liu Bei has done that people are willing to follow him.
When Liu Bei was causing trouble in Runan, he also captured several counties. Facing these small counties, Liu Bei's soldiers were not only in good order and did not take a penny from the people, but at least they were very measured and did not bully the people too much.
In addition, Liu Bei was currently "committing crimes on the run" and could not take away much food after conquering the county town, so he distributed the food to the poor local people so that they could unite their forces to resist Cao Cao.
The bandit leader in Shangcai, Chen Yu, was such a person.
