Chapter 241
"Since Chengzhi needs troops, I just happen to have a few brothers from the same clan." Cao Cao said attentively.
"They are all good at martial arts. As long as County Magistrate Liu teaches them a little, they can become military officers leading troops."
"I will definitely satisfy Chengzhi."
Looking over with expectation, Cao Cao found the doubt on the other party's face.
Liu Yu rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "Meng De, it's not that I don't trust you."
"Tanghai County produces a small number of weapons."
"We also hope to exchange some capable people with that batch of weapons."
"Although I believe in Meng De's character, I naturally dare not believe it just because of a promise."
"This..." Cao Cao thought about it, if it were him, he would not believe what others said casually.
Liu Yu continued: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true."
"If Meng De wants that batch of weapons, he should take a few clan brothers to Tanghai County."
"One hand to test the person, and the other hand to deliver the goods."
"Okay!" Cao Cao made the decision on the spot.
How could he let go of such a chance to kill two birds with one stone?
He had already thought about how to fool people after he returned, or rather, how to persuade several clan brothers to go to Tanghai County in Youzhou for training.
More importantly, he had always had a good relationship with several clan brothers.
If he were to work in Tanghai County,
Wouldn't it be possible to get into the other party's inner circle?
In the future, no matter what new news there was in Tanghai County, he would receive reports from several brothers as soon as possible.
And they could verify the truth with each other.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Liu Yu saw all the expressions of the other party and smiled in his heart.
Although the relationship between clan brothers was close, could it be compared with brainwashing?
Hehe, ideological and moral education, plus the pyramid scheme to control people, let alone ancient scholars, modern college students who have received a good education can't stand it.
Escape into it and can't extricate yourself.
"Come, drink!" Cao Cao smiled and raised his glass, and the wine cups in the hands of the two collided with each other.
There was a crisp metallic knocking sound.
Liu Yu and Cao Cao smiled at each other, each with their own hidden agenda.
Everything was self-evident.
…
All matters in Yingchuan were completed.
The work of recruiting students went smoothly, and dozens of young students joined the team of Tanghai County with their passion.
Live and eat with the soldiers.
Under Liu Yu's arrangement, experience grassroots life.
Get everything done and wait for Xu Shu, who went to Nanyang to spread the news, to return.
Liu Yu said goodbye to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and headed north with the soldiers.
Cao Cao took the opportunity to take the soldiers and follow the Tanghai army.
He shamelessly said that he wanted to learn how to lead troops from Liu Yu.
He lowered his status and asked several Tanghai commanders without shame.
He also gained some favor from several Tanghai commanders.
Cao Cao was particularly interested in Guan Yu.
Ever since he saw Guan Yu, the leader of the Tanghai infantry who arrived later, he was shocked.
Apart from Liu Yu, Guan Yu shocked him the most.
Even Zhao Yun couldn't compare to him.
Cao Cao surrounded Guan Yu every day.
He admired his green hat and the Confucian robe that appeared under his armor.
He was very attentive.
But he didn't get any good looks from Guan Yu.
In the wilderness, the people and students of Yingchuan came to see him off after hearing the news.
More and more people joined the crowd of people seeing him off, and the momentum was huge.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, two court generals, felt sad when they saw the people and students of Yingchuan loving the Tanghai army so much.
After all, they led the court army to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan for a long time.
But they didn't get any thanks from the people of Yingchuan.
The two of them sighed that wherever Liu Yu led the Tanghai army, it would definitely attract attention.
Soldiers from other places were completely unable to perform.
…
In the wilderness, Tang Hai’s army suddenly changed direction.
Just after leaving Yingchuan, they turned to the southwest.
This puzzled Cao Cao, and he immediately found Liu Yu, "Why did Cheng Zhi order the troops to go southwest?"
"That is the direction of Chen State in Yuzhou."
"Didn't we say before that we are going to Jizhou to attack the Yellow Turbans' lair?"
Not only him, but also Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, and Xu Shu who were accompanying him, pricked up their ears to listen.
They didn't know why.
Riding on a white horse, Liu Yu asked calmly: "Meng De, is it better to add icing on the cake or to send charcoal in the snow?"
The short words made Cao Cao's mind flash, and he squinted his eyes and pondered.
Thinking of the war in Jizhou, he suddenly understood.
"Cheng is a great talent!"
"It would be better to help him in need!"
"The Zhonglang General and the Tiangong General are in a stalemate, although they can't make any further progress."
"But it's not the end of the road."
Cao Cao's face changed, "However, if we drag it on like this, what if the Yellow Turbans are killed by Zhonglang General?What should we do if the army we lead is defeated? "
"If we can win, we would have won long ago. There is no need to drag it out until now." Liu Yu said confidently under the gaze of several people.
"Besides, the General of the Central Army can't hold on for too long."
"The ministers of the court are eager to make achievements, and the emperor is urging us."
"The general will definitely be replaced on the battlefield."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
He has experienced the ministers in the court.
Don't ask the reason, just look at the result.
Although he can't do practical things, he is very good at commanding.
It's quite a bit of high-sounding and heroic talk on paper.
"But..." Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "What if the replacement generals are more powerful and quickly pacify the Yellow Turbans, then won't we delay the opportunity to fight?"
"Don't worry." Liu Yu said, "Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are responsible for clearing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, and they can't get away for the time being. ”
“And there are no more famous generals in the court.”
“We can only transfer them from their places.”
“There are some brave generals around Luoyang, namely Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, this person will take over the position of the official army of Jizhou.”
“Although this person treats the soldiers well, he is an opportunist, ambitious and incompetent, and his command ability is not very good.”
“Under the counterattack of the Yellow Turbans, they will surely be defeated in succession.”
“When the time comes, it will be our time to help them.”
Cao Cao frowned, “It turns out that Cheng Zhidu has already considered it so far. "
He silently memorized the name of Hedong Governor Dong Zhuo.
Wait and verify whether that person went to Jizhou to take over the government army.
If it is true, then Liu Yu is really thoughtful.
No one can compare to his scheming!
Chen Qun lowered his head and thought.
From Liu Yu's words, he felt something else.
A county magistrate far away in the border of Youzhou.
But he could casually name the governors around Luoyang.
Not to mention, he could even name the general characteristics of the other party.
This surprised Chen Qun.
So The meticulous analysis and intelligence combination skills made him admire Liu Yu even more.
Xu Shu listened and carefully recorded every word Liu Yu said.
Liu Yu had told him to learn more, listen more, watch more, and talk less.
He kept the other party's teachings in his heart.
He absorbed all kinds of knowledge crazily, hoping to develop strong skills.
From a ranger, he quickly transformed into a powerful person like Tang Hai.
The team walked slowly in the wilderness. After informing the Chen government, they went to the neighboring county, Qiao County.
