Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123
The continuation of war is politics, and political conflicts are usually resolved at the wine table and negotiation table. Last night, they fought all night and sweated all over their bodies. Thousands of people were killed and injured, and more than 700 horses were damaged. It was a fierce battle!However, in the end, the commanders of both sides actually sat at the wine table together again.

Although Yan Liangyan's face is still as smelly as Changsha stinky tofu.

"General Yan, please! There is no good wine in Puyang, Jimo wine for the past ten years, please general!"

Wang Hou respectfully poured a glass of old wine with a strong fragrance into the glass, and brought it to Yan Liang, but seeing him pretending to be a grandson, General Yan didn't appreciate it, he didn't drink his wine, he didn't say anything Bo Ran made a sound, blew his beard and stared, and slapped the table with a bang.

"Skills are not as good as people, there is nothing to say, if you want to kill, you can kill or cut, why do you humiliate someone here!"

"Why did the general say this?"

Hearing this, Wang Hou had a "shocked" face and shook his head full of astonishment. He just pretended to be a grandson for many days, and when he always pretended to be tired, he picked up the wine jar and poured himself a full glass. Jimo Laojiu, under Yan Liang's astonished eyes, for the first time, Wang Hou hummed mockingly.

"The general is indeed incompetent, but the general has a good lord! The land of the four states has hundreds of thousands of armor! My little Puyang city still wants to survive, how dare I kill the general?"

"Besides, the general has a stubborn mind. He only has the courage to fight and kill. He has no skills. The general is not as good as Li Guang in terms of force, and he is not as good at running the army. It's okay to be a vanguard. It's okay for a general to lead an army. It is very useful, the general is in Hebei, it is still a good thing for me in the Central Plains, why kill the general!"

"you!"

An old face instantly turned into a purple eggplant with fury, and he stood up directly against the table, but seeing Wang Hou holding the wine bowl and sipping to himself, he sat back silently, just like he just As I said, I have nothing to say, I have never beaten Zhao Yun in a one-on-one match, and the best soldiers in Hebei he led in a group beating lost to a group of third-class local soldiers in Wang Hou's hands. .

But the first time he was speechless, Yan Liang was not reconciled. After a while, he gnashed his teeth and knocked on the table again.

"Remember this revenge! When we meet again on the battlefield, I will kill you!"

"General Yan, please feel free to send General Yan away. After General Yan leaves, Wang will also let people out. The general is wolf-hearted. After Wang explained the general, the general is not grateful, but bites back! This way everyone will be evened!"

Yan Liang almost didn't spit out another mouthful of old blood, but the Han people are more down-to-earth, and don't have so many curse words, even Mr. Zhuge's famous "I have never seen such a shameless person without shame", he was so angry that his chest was full Wheezing and wheezing against the armor, he was so angry that he simply picked up the wine that Wang Hou had poured for him, and drank it in one gulp, then snatched Wang Hou's wine jar, raised his head and mutter Gulu drank most of the jar and went down.

Hey!It's bad for you to drink, but it's bad for me to eat vegetables!As soon as the wine bowl with half a bowl left was placed on the table, it was Chef Lu Ji who stuffed a big mouthful of crispy fried mushrooms from Shandong into his mouth, crunching like a vicious dog. He also stared at Yan Liang fiercely.

But Jimo old wine is Jimo old wine after all, with an alcohol content of more than 20 degrees, it can be regarded as the highest alcohol in this era. The kind of drinking in Romance is more slippery than water. Choking so hard that he wanted to vomit, he reached out and grabbed Puyang's unique Wang Hou fried chicken, tore off a chicken thigh and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hey!You eat vegetables fiercely!I'm drinking again!Today, I will compete with Yan Liang!He poured down half a glass of wine in one gulp, reached out and grabbed the half-jar of Jimo old wine and handed it to his mouth, er..., after thinking about it, he poured himself a glass, and then drank it in one gulp. He and Chen Deng drank it before. , it is not comparable to the folk brewed rice wine with five or six degrees and seven or eight degrees. Drinking too much is a real headache!
The two of you are coming and going, the voice can't be heard, but the shadow can be seen, looking at the second floor, Yan Liang Wang Hou, you eat with chopsticks and I have a cup, and those below are also brought to the second floor of the restaurant for dinner The captured Hebei army officer was relieved.

Execution of captives is not a rare thing these days, or why there are so few people in the Three Kingdoms, but seeing the great conversation between the two sides, I guess I saved my life!
Unknowingly, another political signal was sent out by Wang Hou, he and Yan Liang had a great chat!

It's not just that the nickname was saved, Puyang was really humiliated like my Daqing in the later generations!Of the 100 cavalry brought by Yan Liang, more than [-] were scattered and fled, and [-] were killed on the spot, and the remaining [-] who were captured were released on the spot after eating!Moreover, the horses were also returned, as were the weapons and armor. The wounded went to the doctor to heal the wounds. Not to mention, one person even gave out a lot of money to suppress the shock. Could not be softer.

However, in politics, success or failure cannot be easily judged by gains or losses. Although he lost a sum of money, he sent Yan Liang out of the city gate and watched them limping back to Hua County. He looked like he had earned money, because the people who took Yan Liang back were Guo Ding from Yincheng and Guotu from Yingchuan. Political turmoil is coming.

Regardless of whether the Yingchuan faction, the Jizhou faction or the Ruyang faction win, Yuan Shao's Huaxian camp will have to be in chaos for a while, then Puyang City will be stable!After all, the Puyang Ferry is deep and the boat is big, which is not suitable for large armies to cross the river. It is not a strategic point for Yuan Cao to fight for hegemony. After harvesting the grain and grass in autumn, it will lose the last bit of strategic value. Yuan Shao probably wasn't interested in hitting him alone.

Then, before the ice was frozen, the money earned to Wang Hou in Puyang, where the four roads intersected with the entire northern commercial road, was hundreds of times more than the thousands of coins he lost to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang's attack can be regarded as the biggest crisis since the founding of Puyang City. Now that it has passed and sent away Yan Liang's remnant army, Wang Hou easily shook his head and returned to his prefect's mansion. However, Wang Hou didn't know that his own greatest The crisis has just arrived!

Downstairs from the tall second floor of the inner courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, a black figure kept staring at the street. Seeing Wang Hou's guard of honor staggering back to the mansion, a gloomy and cruel smile slammed onto the small face under the black mark. It was revealed, and immediately the black shadow rushed down quickly.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was even thirstier now. After entering the gate of the mansion and sitting on the flower hall, Wang Hou shouted dryly: "Come on! Serve tea to my lord and General Zhao! Hurry up! ! My lord will reward General Zhao later..., ouch, let go! It's about to fall!!!"

Unprepared, Wang Hou was finally murdered, and saw a white and tender hand stretch out from behind him with precision, pinching his ear, while Wang Hou grinned in pain, Cao Hongjie's face was full of anger , roared angrily.

"What did you do last night? Yan Liang attacked Puyang! Don't tell me about such a big event! Do you still think I'm your wife!"

"Ma'am, isn't my lord afraid that you will worry, so that you can raise your baby with peace of mind?"

Seeing Wang Hou baring his teeth and letting out a cold breath, the handsome face of Zhao Yun, who followed in, also became complicated. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he seemed to feel that his lord was immoral, and his handsome face twisted like a pig. With a waist like that, Zhao Yun stuttered and begged for mercy, but Cao Hongjie, who had a big belly, didn't take this at all, and still pinched Wang Hou's "wrong point", yelling angrily.

"Raise a baby with peace of mind? Don't tell me that Yan Liang attacked the city today! Next time, will you raise a mistress behind my back!"

Wang Hou really wanted to slap himself, why teach her so many new words?Retribution!More importantly, this girl Cao Hongjie still has a "big bomb" in her stomach, and a "human bomb" threatens him!Even Fu Gang didn't dare to shake, covering his ears, Wang Hou screamed in distress.

"My wife! I was wrong! Please forgive me!!!"

…………

Today is estimated to be Wang Hou's financial ruin day. After winning the battle in the morning, he had to "lose power and humiliate the country", and he lost both food and money. He returned to the mansion at noon and signed a lot of "unequal treaties". Wealth boy.

I have to say that the once lazy Puyang soldiers fought really well last night, not to mention how many people killed, only three consecutive gatherings and dispersal as usual, even Cao Cao's Xudu elite soldiers, I am afraid that only tiger and leopard cavalry can do it It is true, and under the threat of military training, they really beat Yan Liang's Hebei elite soldiers one by one. While panting restlessly waiting.

Especially when he saw that the eunuch had a red protruding ear, and his face was so ugly that he was thrown out of bed by his wife because he didn't do a good job last night.

After the three-way drum, under the restless but expectant eyes of thousands of people, Wang Hou, with Zhao Yun, Zanghong and several generals, stood on the general platform in a mighty manner, and looked down at his subordinates. Son, he ordered dully: "All ministries present their heads!"

It’s a bit like the time for later generations to reveal the test scores in the final exam. The eight songs that participated in the battle last night in Puyang were sent one by one to wear watches and hold the heads and credit books. At Wang Hou's feet.

I have to praise the Han Dynasty again. The legacy of the Qin Dynasty’s twelve military merits and other nobility systems has not completely dissipated. Even at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, most of the military merits were reported truthfully, unlike the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty. In a battle of thousands of people, the heads of 10 people can be "beheaded".

"A part of a song, beheaded level 34, captured 110 eight people!"

"Part B trilogy, behead level 52, capture 150 people!"

After the report, the heads under Wang Hou's feet and Yan Liangjun's military flag were also placed into a hill, and the final result was revealed. The most unlucky one was the song A, the sum of the heads and prisoners was less than other songs More than ten people.

It can be considered that they are unlucky, the area assigned to Yuan Jun is the least, but a military order is a military order!Wang Hou ordered in a stern and selfless manner.

"According to the military order of my government! Part A will have an additional [-] days of training, morning and afternoon military training, morning queue training, and afternoon horse-step assassination training. Part B's three songs will kill the most prisoners, and [-] days of military training will be exempted!"

Team A, who lost the fight for character, drooped their heads sadly, and the soldiers lost control of their emotions and kept beating their chests, while the winning song was full of excitement, and even cheered.

However, this record of merit was far from over, without scolding military discipline, Wang Hou, who had a dark face, actually laughed at this time. stand up.

"Brothers, you fought very well last night! Very good! With less than a hundred deaths, you defeated the most elite cavalry in Hebei three years ago and the Sitingzhu in Hebei Yan Liang, defending the prosperity and stability of Puyang, you are all good! Puyang is proud of you!"

"I didn't say anything! Reward! Heavy reward! For each level of beheading, ten guan of money, one piece of cloth, and one stone of food! Whoever captures one person will get twenty guan of money, and the whole song will be rewarded according to the total number!"

"You have shed blood and sweat for Puyang, and this prefect will never forget your achievements! As long as the lord of this government stays in Dongjun for one day, the victor who bleeds and sacrifices for Puyang will have a hundred acres of land, a hundred yuan of money, and ten years of tax exemption! Puyang County Those who retire with fifty soldiers, ten mu of land, ten guan of money, tax exemption until the end of their year! Brothers, step up your hard work! It is all up to you to make a fortune!"

Is Wang Hou's reward generous?Definitely thicker!In the battle of Xiapi, one soldier was beheaded, and Cao Cao only rewarded a piece of cloth, a grain of rice, and a prefect Wang Hou, and the reward was four times that of Cao Cao, but it was the same as spending money to send Yan Liang away in the morning. Wang Hou still feels that the value of the flower is absolutely worth it!
Hundreds of years ago, why was the Qin army called the division of tigers and wolves?You can get a title of noble, land, food, and a number of servants by killing an enemy!Originally, a worthless pauper could turn himself into a self-cultivator, beheaded three enemies to become a small landlord, and live a fairly comfortable life, and beheaded a hundred to become a nobleman. With the monopoly of the upper class, anyone can rely on military exploits to improve their social status!It also created the name of the people of Qin who are angry when they hear gold, and happy when they hear drums!
The reason why the Qi family army of later generations can fight is because of rewards!He trains hard on weekdays, the military pay is only average, and the military discipline is terrifyingly strict, but when he goes into battle, a Mongolian Tartar or Japanese pirate will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver for his head, and he will never default on it! 30 taels of silver is enough to buy ten acres of land, and if a tenth-level enemy is beheaded, it is enough to live a life of a small landlord who buys maids and collects rent in a prosperous place like Changshu, Suzhou.

Sufficient profits can support enough combat power, and if Pu Yangcheng does not fall for a day, Wang Hou will have a lot of money in his account, and he can continue to increase his influence!So it's definitely worth buying and selling!
Listening to Wang Hou's generous reward and promise, the entire school field became silent for a while. After a full ten seconds of silence, the entire school field seemed to be boiling, and each and every soldier raised their weapons in their hands extremely excitedly. Cheers.

"Your Majesty is mighty!!!"
