Chapter 010 Borrowing soldiers to recruit soldiers, little ghosts are really difficult to deal with
"It's not true, but I just ask for a military order from Gong Ming."
Cao Pi's tender voice came from outside the door, and Cao Ang and Zhang Miao both looked for the voice.
When Cao Ang saw that the person coming was Cao Pi, he was inevitably angry. He first bowed to Zhang Miao, then stood up and came to Cao Pi.
Cao Ang looked at Zhang Miao with his back and glared at Cao Pi in a place where Zhang Miao couldn't see.
Cao Ang's eyes seemed to speak: "You brother is just about to force Zhang Miao to submit, why did you come over and give Zhang Miao a step?
Do you want to ask for military orders? What military orders are important?
Send troops to attack the Black Mountain bandits? Impossible, right? Zhang Miao is only willing to hide in this Fengqiu City.
Alas, third brother, you are still a child and don’t understand the world of adults.”
Cao Ang quickly calmed down his anger and felt a little sad again.
As the saying goes, Xiao He defeated Xiao He. Cao Ang came to Chenliu to borrow troops after Cao Pi's advice, but he did not want to eventually borrow troops to be ruined by Cao Pi.
In the first half of the journey, Cao Ang had already thought of today's appearance since he met river bandits and thieves.
As long as he could borrow a thousand sets of weapons and armor from Chenliu, Cao Ang could arm the river bandits and thieves he had previously incorporated, instantly giving Cao's army a thousand more available men.
But now without weapons and armor, it is hard to cook without rice. Even if Cao Ang takes the previous thief to the battlefield, people will escape at the last minute because of their poor equipment and lack of morale.
"What a military order is needed for, but it's okay." Zhang Miao followed the steps given by Cao Pi and quickly agreed.
If you don’t borrow soldiers or weapons, then the rest will be easy to say. Zhang Miao even wants to send Cao Pi some extra cloth.
When Cao Pi returned, he could recruit soldiers and cloth, so he could only make new clothes or flags, which were not that useful.
While Zhang Miao was proud of himself, Cao Pi said what he had thought of in advance.
"Please issue a military order to inform all counties that my brothers want to recruit troops in Chenliu and fight against the Black Mountain bandits."
"This..." Zhang Miao was very surprised when he heard this. This kind of words was completely different from what a four-year-old child like Cao Pi could say.
Everything can only be repeated, not repeated.
Zhang Miao had rejected Cao Ang twice before. This third time was Cao Pi's request. Zhang Miao had already agreed intentionally before. If Zhang Miao refused again, it would be a breakup and no longer merciless.
In fact, Zhang Miao was allowed emotionally by the conditions Cao Pi asked.
He just recruited troops, but he didn't spend his money or food anyway.
However, if Cao Pi asked Zhang Miao to order recruit soldiers in Chenliu, then the officials of each county would understand Zhang Miao's meaning and believe that to strongly support the Cao brothers, the Cao brothers would gain a lot of money and the trip would be worth it.
But this is not Zhang Miao's original intention, and what Zhang Miao is thinking is exactly the opposite.
Moreover, this military order will also cause widespread response from the Chenliu people.
On the surface, the military order recruited troops to fight against the Black Mountain bandits, which was to call on the benevolent and righteous people in Chenliu County to guard their homes.
In fact, the Cao brothers recruited soldiers to fight against the Black Mountain bandits, but the guards were Yuan Wu, Cao Cao, the Cao family, and the Dongjun.
Fundamentally speaking, Cao Pi's recruitment order was very tricky, which harmed Zhang Miao and Chen Liu's interests, and the Cao family used this to gain a lot of strength invisibly.
Zhang Miao could imagine that in this wave of recruiting troops, there might be a local passionate young man from Chenliu who not only wanted to join the army, but also gave money, gifts, weapons, and rewarded the army. Even the Chenliu family would make a little contribution and gain a reputation.
Just when Zhang Miao was worried, Cao Pi did not give Zhang Miao a chance to think and continued, "My father once said, if I don't return, I will go to Yi Meng Zhuo, will Ming Gong really want to see you die and not save me?"
"Stop talking, Ming Gong is worried, so you must not lose your etiquette. You should apologize to Ming Gong quickly." Cao Ang cooperated with Cao Pi to sing.
Zhang Miao blushed when he heard this, but fortunately, his face was full of flesh and he couldn't tell it.
Cao Pi and Cao Ang made a deal like this, and Zhang Miao was completely unable to come to Taiwan, so he had to admit defeat.
"It's not true, what I asked before was what I should do, so why do I use the word "seeking"?
My nephew misunderstood me deeply. What I thought before was how to help Meng De.
It is autumn now, and new grain is coming out. I want to help with the old grains of Chenliu. I wonder what my two nephews think?”
Zhang Miao made an excuse for himself and also gave him some gifts.
Zhang Miao originally intended to give him tens of thousands of hu of food and grass, and he just wanted to do it.
Ten thousand hu of grain and grass sounds like a lot, but it is only enough for ten thousand troops to use for ten days.
The Cao brothers recruited soldiers in Chenliu, and they had to recruit at least 3,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of hu of grain and grass for this group of soldiers, which would only last for one month.
"Xie Minggong."
"Xie Minggong."
When the Cao brothers heard Zhang Miao's reply, they finally felt relieved and thanked them one after another.
When Zhang Miao saw that the Cao brothers were not greedy, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These two brothers are so difficult to deal with!
Zhang Miao believed that this was Cao Ang's plan, but Cao Pi was a little bitch and was so sensible at such a young age. It was really not easy to cooperate with Cao Ang's performance.
Of course, Cao Ang would not think so, but he also found it very incredible for this brother who seemed a little unfamiliar.
During Chen Liu's military use, Cao Pi made too much effort.
Without Cao Pi, Cao Ang might not have thought of coming to Chen Liu to borrow troops.
Without Cao Pi, Cao Ang would have been able to take the water route, so he would not be able to recruit river bandits and water thieves.
Without Cao Pi, Zhang Miao would not have been able to do so smoothly without Cao Miao's lent troops.
Next, Chen Liu recruited soldiers, and I believe his younger brother could bring him some surprises, and Cao Ang deeply agreed.
"Two nephews, I'll go to eat with me later. You can feel in advance what is the difference between Chen Liusu and Yuan Wusu! Haha." Zhang Miao returned to the attitude of a kind and elder, and invited the Cao brothers to have a meal together.
The ancients usually ate two meals, one meal each morning and evening, but in the powerful families and the army, they mostly ate three meals.
Most of the disciples of powerful families practice martial arts and consume their bodies. If they don’t eat three meals, they will only become weaker the more they practice.
The same is true for the soldiers in the army. Some soldiers with abnormal physiques even have to eat five or six meals a day.
Now that it is approaching noon, Zhang Miao invites the Cao brothers to have lunch together. After lunch, Zhang Miao issues a military order to send the Cao brothers to Chenliu, but it is clean.
When Cao Ang heard that he had lunch, he didn't care, so he just thought it was just a casual lunch.
Cao Pi was not like that. When Cao Pi heard that he had lunch in Zhang Miao's army, did he say that he would have the chance to meet Dian Wei?
Dian Wei should be just a soldier or a lower-level officer now, but a burly man like Dian Wei, who has been a Ren Xia, should be quite famous and not difficult to find.
Cao Pi is only four years old now, and is a child who loves to play and longs for heroes. It is natural to inquire about Dian Wei's whereabouts.
