Chapter 015 The ability to know people, buy iron and raise generals

In fact, Cao Pi's gods are more than that.

Finally, a careful count was made. All 32 new recruits from Cao's army were within 45.

I have to say that this proportion is already very high.

Although the thirty-two new recruits were carefully selected by Cao Pi.

In the past half a day, Cao's army had nearly a hundred soldiers.

Moreover, Cao Pi asked them to recommend themselves and said that they thought they were good at walking.

Then Cao Pi kept striving for excellence and sorted according to the length of their ring fingers.

In the end, the soldiers who participated in the competition were able to run into the top forty-five among more than a hundred people, which was very rare.

In fact, from the surprise and amazement of the onlookers, one can easily draw a conclusion that Cao Pi's "knowing the power of people" had conquered the people of Chenliu.

Many famous scholars have the ability to see qi and observe the appearance. Looking at it together, that is, the ability to recognize people.

Famous commentators, such as the brothers Xu Shao of Runan, can make the nameless person soar into the sky and become famous all over the world with just one sentence.

I remember that Lao Cao had no choice but to get the word "A capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times".

Now Cao Pi can tell the strength of an ordinary person by just looking at it. What kind of ability is this?

At this moment, Cao Pi was simply secretly happy that he was not slapped in the face and was successfully pretending to behave.

But I don’t know that in this race, Cao Pi’s gains are far more than just a simple thing to show off.

After the long-distance race was completely over, the number plates on the people at the rear of the crane were similar to those given by Cao Pi.

They are all close to one hundred or one hundred, and only two or three people have a number plate of fifty or sixty, but this is no longer important.

What’s important at the moment is that everyone knows that Cao Pi is very accurate in judging people, and there are still practical cases.

The people of Chenliu saw it very magically, and the Chenliu family knew that Cao Pi did not do anything, at least they did not find out how they cheated.

Then we can only think that Cao Pi has magical powers, which is a skill given to Cao Pi by God.

For this reason, everyone can only describe it as "strange", "shocking" and "god" to look at Cao Pi.

After this long-distance race, no one had any objections to Cao Pi, and no one had any doubts about Cao's army's selection of soldiers.

On the contrary, many Chenliu people, or those who wanted to join the army at the other two recruiting offices, ran to the north gate to join the army after hearing the news. Of course, they were more likely to watch the fun and the prodigy.

In order to make friends with Cao Pi and make friends with Cao Pi, the aristocratic family specially sent gifts to Cao Pi, or gave two copies.

Before, the Chenliu family naturally had to give gifts to Cao Ang, but now Cao Pi has another one.

This second part is not for the sake of the Cao family, but for Cao Pi.

The Cao brothers recruited soldiers in Chenliu on the first day, and Cao Pi alone recruited more than 300 soldiers.

Before, Cao Pi and Cao Ang discussed that each person would recruit 1,000 soldiers, including Shi Huan, which would be a total of 3,000 people.

Chenliu is a county with a large population. It is certainly possible to recruit 10,000 soldiers, but the key is that recruiting soldiers costs money. After the new recruits join the army, the Cao army will continue to consume money and food, which is something that the Cao brothers cannot take out.

Now we are also offering Buddha with flowers and relying on the strong help of Zhang Miao and Chenliu family, this is the only way to recruit this group of new recruits.

However, there are still some problems that have not been resolved at present - Soldiers.

The Cao brothers lacked enough weapons and equipment. Although the Chenliu family and the powerful men supported some supplies, the weapons and equipment were a minority, and they even gave not much iron material.

This cannot be blamed on the Chenliu family. The powerful hiding private affairs. When today there is a scene of troubled times, it is extremely normal to have a self-protection spirit.

In addition, there are not many iron ore in Yanzhou. The powerful iron smelting of iron and privately prepared armor by trading iron materials from Jing, Ji and Qingzhou.

Liu Bei started his career and was helped by the great merchant Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping of Zhongshan, and obtained fifty war horses and a thousand pounds of iron.

Why are Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping so proud and generous? That's because Zhongshan is rich in iron ore.

As the saying goes, those who win Hebei will win the world. The four prefectures of Hebei, Qingyou and Hebei all have iron ore. In addition, You and Hebei produce horses, Jizhou produces grain, and Qingzhou produces salt. It is no need to say that it has the advantage of Hebei.

As for why Cao Cao was able to withstand Yuan Shao, who was all in Hebei?

That's because there are iron ore in Nanyang, Yuzhou Yingchuan, Silisanhe and Hongnong areas. Cao Cao set up Sijin Duwei and supervise the eunuchs in these places to ensure that he is not inferior to Yuan Shao, Hebei in terms of military armor and equipment.

However, now the Cao family's father and son are still hiding in the small Yuanwu County. If they want to engage in iron smelting and preparing for war, they still need to find iron traders.

"Brother, how will you gain in one day?"

In the evening, the Cao brothers who had finished recruiting the troops gathered together and met.

"Recruited three hundred soldiers."

"I also got three hundred soldiers." Shi Huan also explained what happened today.

"The military order of Zhang Taishou has been conveyed to the county for only one day, and there are still many righteous men on the way. Now our army has recruited one-third of them, and we should strictly require it in the next two days." Cao Pi suggested.

"Yes." Cao Ang nodded and said yes, and then thought, "Our army lacks troops and armor, may we ask Shi Jun to go to Yingchuan to buy iron. I wonder what Shi Jun is waiting for?"

"I really want to ask for it!"

Shi Huan received the appointment, and the Cao brothers each took out the money and gave the materials to Shi Huan for the reward of the Chenliu family, and asked Shi Huan to bring the money to Chenliu tomorrow to buy iron and weapons.

As Shi Huan left, Cao Ang said to Cao Pi again: "In this way, each of them can be recruited 1,000 troops within five days."

"Yes. As Ang led his troops to fight, we should provide support early." Cao Pi also agreed.

"I don't know if my brother can recruit powerful generals today? The soldiers should not be without generals for a day. The new army will be completed. Make preparations as soon as possible."

Cao Pi reminded Cao Ang to establish a new army soon. The Cao brothers wanted to use this new army to help their father Cao Cao overcome difficulties, but they did not have the new army to fight without tied them.

Cao Ang should have been the commander of this new army, but Cao Ang had learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius and the ways of being an official. It was not difficult for Cao Ang to recite poems and essays, but if you want to lead the army to fight, that would not work.

Cao Ang was not afraid, but he was afraid that he would not help his father Cao Cao. Instead, because of Cao Ang's rashness, he caused trouble for his father.

Judging from the current situation, the only one who can lead troops in Cao's army is Shi Huan, but Shi Huan only participated in the Battle of Bian River, and was not a commander, but a personal guard beside Cao Cao.

Now Shi Huan has been promoted to military commander, but this does not mean that Shi Huan's current talent can really lead an army of four or five hundred people.

Of course, even if Shi Huan can lead an army of four or five hundred people, now the new army has two or three thousand people. The difficulty of controlling the army has been greatly improved, and Shi Huan's ability seems to be insufficient.

Therefore, the problem that the Cao brothers need to solve now is not how to pull the army up, but to find several generals suitable for commanding the army.

There is no need to find Han Xin's commanders who can really lead thousands of soldiers to fight. Only a few warriors who are powerful and convincing.

These generals charged forward, and the soldiers behind them would follow each other, so it would be much less difficult for Cao Ang to control the army.

Cao Pi's reminder made Cao Ang careless, and he should pay attention to the warriors who defected to Cao's army next.
