Chapter 41: The Dead!

And so much more...

For Xin Chang's words, Cao Chong was somewhat mentally prepared.

It's good to think.

After the north camp opened and left Yecheng, the south camp was the largest army except for the Yecheng guards, with 50,000 people, if someone with a heart got this force, even if it threatened Yecheng, it was not an impossible thing.

Therefore, now Nanying has long become a place of right and wrong, not to mention Cao Chong becoming a general of the chariot cavalry, which directly makes Nanying's barrel of oil even hotter.

Of course, no matter how things change, most of the initiative is still in Cao Chong's hands.

Without him!

Just because Cao Chong is a general of the chariot is enough.

He was originally the master of Nanying, and now he is just taking back his power.

Xin Chang glanced at Cao Chong and continued: "Actually, Cao Tai represents the power of Chang'an Hou, but in Cao Tai's army, many of them are members of the Cao family's Xiahou family, and most of them have something to do with Cao Tai. ”

Cao Chong can understand this.

Cao Pi wants to get the support of so many clansmen, and in turn, he has to solve problems for these clansmen.

One of the problems is, of course, the issue of their official position.

Cao Pi had to solve the problem of the official positions of these clan relatives.

It can be said that the reason why Cao Pi is anxious now is not as good as the unity on Cao Chong's side, on the one hand, it is precisely because of those clan relatives.

Clan relatives and clan relatives, after all, there are fewer capable people, and there are more waste.

A person like Cao Tai is still good, but even a person like Cao Tai is really not much better.

In the final analysis, Cao Tai is just an incompetent person who eats Cao Ren's old book, and those who are worse than Cao Tai are not as simple as eating old books.

That's gnawing at the old book.

Those who eat the old book may still be able to vomit, but those who gnaw on it can't vomit, and their appetite is still growing.

Those who have no talent occupy most of the important positions, and those who have talent have to be submissive to these clan relatives, which is why Cao Chong did not exert his strength when he could get the support of the clan relatives.

Cao Chong, the clan relatives of other eras, didn't know very well, but these people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family had too few abilities, and there were too many wastes.

This is also the reason why you can only see people like Cao Shuang in the third generation of Cao.

Of course, there are also reasons why Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui restricted their clansmen.

But one thing is undeniable.

As a family that started as a military general, the Cao family may have bravery, but the governance of the country is not as good as the clansmen of other eras.

Cao Chong waved his hand and motioned for Xin Chang to continue.

And Xin Chang's words followed.

"And in the bathroom army, it seems that there is only one Wei family, but the Wei family is a business, and the business only values interests, in the bathroom camp, the power is the most complicated, basically, whether it is a clan, a family, or a Chang'an marquis, there are secret hands reaching in, and the princes also have secret hands in it?"

Cao Chong nodded and motioned for Xin Chang to continue.

For the Wei family, Cao Chong doesn't think much of it.

The merchant's house looks beautiful, but this is just duckweed in the prosperous world.

Like the Wei family's wealth now, Cao Chong is very greedy.

If he inherits the throne, as soon as he has the opportunity, Cao Chong will copy the Wei family.

A family that can contribute to the country's tax revenue for more than ten years and decades, why not copy it?

Even if he is innocent, the wealth in his hands is original sin.

With this large amount of money, Cao Chong is rich if he wants to send troops to fight against Guishuang.

At this time, Xin Chang's words also came again.

"As for the seemingly simplest Wang Shi camp, there is another scenery, as far as I know, Wang Shi should be the eyeliner left by the king in Nanying..."

Boss Cao left?

Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved.

Nanying is so important to Yecheng, Cao Cao will not let go easily, so it is natural for him to master Nanying, but Boss Cao still took precautions.

In the future, no matter who masters Nanying, if you have a heart of disobedience, then this Wang Shi will teach you to be a man.

Think of it this way.

So...

This king stone may not be so simple.

Can a reckless man take on such a heavy responsibility as Cao Cao?

Even if Wang Shi has Cao Cao's edict and an arrow in his hand, it won't be useful.

In the face of military disasters, what is the role of a black cloth and an arrow?

But the name Wang Shi, Cao Chong has never heard of it once.

But Cao Cao will definitely not reuse an incompetent.

Could it be the pseudonym of that famous general in history?

Cao Chong was a little puzzled.

"In the subordinate camp, as well as in Mr. Xun Jian's camp, they are naturally all the people of the prince, and there may be other people's shadows in them, but there are not many of them."

After listening to Xin Chang's words, Cao Chong nodded, looking like he was thinking.

As soon as Xin Chang said this, the situation in this Nanying became somewhat clear.

First of all, no matter how Cao Chong wants to move, this Wang Shi can't move, and even if he wants to move, he has to be unaware.

Cao Tai can't move easily, not only because of Cao Rende's relationship, but also because of those clan relatives, although the Cao family's clan relatives are not many now, but they can't bear to have a lot of relationships!

As the Cao family, they can see Cao Cao directly, in case they are annoyed, wouldn't they bother Boss Cao every day, and Cao Cao will not be unreasonable to punish himself a little in order to make these people bother him less.

Up to now, Cao Chong's most active thing is only the bathroom camp.

In this way, there are 30,000 people in Nanying.

30,000 people is not much, but it is not a lot, and at a critical moment, the situation can be changed.

Of course, with the current 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Battalion, naturally it will not change much of the current situation.

Although they are soldiers, they are not entirely their own people.

Cao Chong wants someone who completely obeys his orders, in other words.

Cao Chong wants a dead man.

Tens of thousands of dead!

It may seem impossible, but it's also possible.

Before we can recognize this problem, we need to understand another question.

How were the ancient dead men trained?

If it is said that the dead are raised, some of the dead are exchanged for kindness, some of the dead are threatened with the lives of their relatives, and some of the dead are brainwashed, which is no different from modern times, such as those ** (cult) believers, such as those underworld organizations.

If we talk about how the considerable class of dead soldiers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were cultivated, then it has to be another matter.

Everything needs to be seen in its specific context.

For example, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this is a period of turmoil that lasted for more than 550 years, most people did not live to survive to die of war, famine, banditry, and plague.

Rather than die of a possible war disaster a month later, a possible famine half a year later, or a possible plague a year later, it is better to choose a life that pursues value, and it is in this context that the heavy and light death is born.

In the eyes of today's people, Prince Dan just gave Jing Ke some benefits, and he encircled Jing Ke to work for him, but at that time, a golden cake in the human market could buy a lot of lives back, and countless people died in all corners every day, more than half a thousand years, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of wars and famines abounded, if Jing Ke did not assassinate the King of Qin, he would be one of the unknown dead, just like the 200,000 (another 400,000) Zhao soldiers who were killed in the Battle of Changping.

Jing Ke did not die for Prince Dan, but to pursue the value of his life.

As an assassin and a warrior, he was able to leave a name for eternity and become a figure comparable to or even surpass his predecessors such as Zhuzhu Yu Rang Nie Zheng, Jing Ke died a well-deserved death.

In the context of death coming at any time, people are more concerned about how to live in vain.

Confucius said, "When you hear the Tao, you can die at night", Mencius said, "Those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness", Lao Tzu said, "People's life is also weak, and their death is strong", and Mozi said, "Fighting for a word to kill each other is the righteousness of one's body" These sages are not saying that life is not enough to pity, on the contrary, they are saying that life is very precious, and in a limited life, there should be something to pursue, so that the extreme situation of death can also be faced.

The dead man refers to the warriors who dare to die, Jing Ke is only one of these assassins, and Gao Yuanli, who saw off Jing Ke and then assassinated the King of Qin, has the three Taishi brothers who adhered to the way of the historian and recorded that "Cui Shu killed his king" calmly went to death, there are Jie Zitui mother and son who lived in seclusion and burned themselves in the mountains, and Cheng Ying who secretly raised his friends and orphans behind his infamy and then committed suicide to report his friends.....

This is the dead soldier of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is also the most famous dead soldier in Chinese history, and the later dead soldiers have never exceeded their height.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the cultivation of dead soldiers was different from that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, the social existence determines the social consciousness, and the atmosphere of righteousness and generosity and chivalry did arise due to the troubled times, but even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not all a dead soldier who died for righteousness or the pursuit of self-worth.

The human factor is also essential, such as the way of scheming, the art of control, giving and receiving privately, the lure of money, and the hope of retribution in the future.

In this respect, Sima Yi's dead soldier is a model of captive dead soldiers in this era.

But...

The cost of Sima Yi's way of training a dead soldier is too high, and there are too few people who become a dead soldier after all.

This is not in line with Cao Chong's expectations.

Cao Chong's so-called dead soldier is another concept.

In other words, Cao Chong's so-called dead soldiers are an army of faith.

Even in the later era of Gaowu, the People's Liberation Army relied on faith and belief to make the Mi Guoyan unable to advance an inch in the 38th parallel.

So...

If this army reaches this era.

That...

What will happen?
