The head of the house, there have been rumors outside recently......"

"What rumors?"

Yuan Tan put away the spear, he had not trained for more than a year, and his physical fitness had declined very much, but after more than half an hour, he was already a little exhausted.

Yuan Tan is not a fierce general, but after all, he is Yuan Shao's eldest son, and someone has taught him martial arts and studies before.

Even if it is a pig, after being taught by so many powerful teachers, it will become a strong pig.

Yuan Tan could originally be regarded as a second-rate level in martial arts, but for more than a year, he has spent a lot of time, and now he is only a third-rate level at most.

For more than a year, Yuan Tan has also lived a trembling life, and even those officials who had been promoted by the Yuan family did not dare to visit him, for fear of being suspicious of Cao Cao.

If he had a real job, Yuan Tan would not be so afraid, since it was just a fictitious position, it was obvious that Cao Cao was not worried about him.

So he had to be more cautious.

For a year, I didn't even dare to touch a gun.

With Cao Cao's approval that day, Yuan Tan began to train.

However, with the original foundation, he has been training for three hours a day in the past few days, and his progress is very fast, and his strength is improving every day.

In almost a month, you can return to the level of a second-rate general.

Yuan Tan is now thinking about leaving Xu Du.

Here, it's so uncomfortable.

Not only does he have no rights, but he also has to be afraid, he has to change places.

It's a pity that Yan Song only told him the news that Zhao Hui was going to attack Yanzhou, and he didn't intend to be completely on his side.

Others, the relationship with him is even farther away, and it is difficult for Yuan Tan to find a helper in Xudu.

Although he is the son of Yuan Shao and one of the few remaining achievements of the Yuan family, his own prestige has not been reached after all, and not many people are willing to serve him.

With Yuan Tan, apart from the endless risks, they can't see where the benefits lie.

Even if he was once supported by the Yuan family, now such as Yan Song is already very conscientious.

More people choose to forget the favor they received from the Yuan family.

The Yuan family has declined, and they will not take their own future for the sake of the Yuan family.

The servant cautiously took Yuan Tan's spear and said, "There are rumors outside, say ......"

"Say what, hurry up." Yuan Tan's temper has not been very good recently, and he is in a hurry to leave Xu Du.

"Say...... said that Prime Minister Cao couldn't beat Zhao Hui, and wanted to kill the head of the family, so he offered the head of the head of the family to Zhao Hui for peace. ”

"What!"

Yuan Tan was shocked, and his face changed suddenly.

The first thought was to run quickly, and immediately run out of Xudu.

However, he is now in Xudu, which is close to house arrest, he can't run out at all, and he will be arrested before he reaches the city gate.

In Xudu, if Cao Cao really wanted to kill him, it was really too simple, and he had no possibility of resisting at all.

Yuan Tan thought about it for a while, and his emotions were not excited.

Cao Cao wanted to kill him, but he couldn't escape.

"Rumors, it's just rumors." Yuan Tan thought to himself.

"Since it's a rumor, it's not credible."

If Cao Cao really wanted to kill him, there would be no rumors at all.

Yuan Tan would not know how he died.

The rumors did not have no effect on Yuan Tan, but they only made him more determined that he must leave.

This time it's a rumor, and next time it's uncertain if it's true.

Yuan Tan pretended not to know about the rumors, and continued to practice behind closed doors every day.

At least when he plays, he has to return to his original level.

Yuan Tan didn't know that his closed-door practice really saved his life this time.

After Yuan Tan's servant came out, he told Man Chong, who was guarding outside, about Yuan Tan's reaction, and then Man Chong went to report to Cao Cao again.

After Cao Cao learned about it, he also temporarily let go of Yuan Tan's matter.

"Rumors still have to be investigated quickly, no matter who they are, there is no need to leave them alive." Cao Cao said.

He himself often uses rumors and is well aware of the power of rumors.

So as long as he finds out who is spreading the rumors, he will be killed by Cao Cao immediately.

Unless the rumor is his own.

Let the full pet check the rumors, as well as the details in the city.

Cao Cao himself began to stare at the recruits.

Facing Zhao Hui, he did not have an army of more than 100,000 in his hands, and he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Cao Cao now has 50,000 veterans in his hands, all of whom are elite.

The newly recruited soldiers have a big problem, and if they want to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, not only must the equipment keep up, but also the training must not be left behind.

It's just that even with the recruitment order issued by the Son of Heaven, there are still too few people from Yanzhou to participate in the conscription.

Yanzhou has only recovered a little at present, and the supply of troops is seriously insufficient.

The situation in Yuzhou is slightly better.

After all, Yuzhou was in the hands of Yuan Shu before, and it was also calm for a few years.

But Cao Cao wanted to recruit 50,000 new soldiers, and it was still a little difficult.

After all, as soon as the recruitment order came out, there were rumors that would appear, and the people knew that they were going to war with Zhao Hui.

It is rumored that Zhao Hui's army is invincible, and there is even a force of men and horses that is invulnerable.

No one wanted to fight with Zhao Hui's army.

As long as it is not that the family really can't get by, they will not join Cao Jun at this time.

After all, no one wants to die on the battlefield.

Even if it was just an ordinary person, because of the existence of newspapers, they all knew the difference in strength between Zhao Hui and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao himself had no confidence, and neither did the ministers in the court.

Ordinary people also thought that Cao Cao would not be Zhao Hui's opponent.

Some wise people even did the opposite.

Not only did he not participate in the conscription in Yanzhou, but he went all the way to Jizhou, wanting to become a soldier in Zhao Hui's army.

Even if the probability of life and death on the battlefield is the same, but in Zhao Huijun, if he survives, he will get more.

And I heard that the treatment in Zhao Hui's army was very good, and the food and salary were better than those of other princes.

Cao Cao looked at the recruitment office, where there were only a dozen people queuing, and his face was very ugly.

"Why?"

It was Cao Ren who was in charge of the conscription.

He said: "The news has spread, and the people already know that they are going to war with Zhao Hui, so they are not willing to enlist in the army." ”

Cao Cao frowned, this was unavoidable, unless he didn't recruit new soldiers.

As long as he wants to recruit new soldiers, everyone will know that this is going to war.

With whom to fight?

Even if the people are ignorant and can't think of it, there are still those families and scholars.

They are smart, and they have various channels to get the news from the court.

Cao Cao said: "As long as you enlist in the army, each person will get an extra bag of rice." ”

He also made a bloody investment, and he must recruit recruits as soon as possible, otherwise it will drag on for too long, and even if enough recruits are recruited later, there will be no time to train.

So paying a little more food now, for Cao Cao, it is not necessarily a loss.

He had to be willing to give.

Recruit enough soldiers in the fastest time.

Cao Ren nodded in understanding, but there was some pain in his heart.

Each person has an extra bag of rice, even if there is only one bucket in a bag, recruiting 50,000 soldiers will require 5,000 stone of grain to pay. And it's rice.
