By the Luoshui River, in the camp of the Cao army, the drunken Cao Cao fell asleep for a day and a night before slowly waking up, this is really a good sleep, sweeping away the fatigue after the war, if it is not for the hunger in the belly, Cao Cao really wants to continue to sleep, until the earth is barren, the traitor is also a human being, and there is also the laziness that ordinary people have, but it is difficult for ordinary people to overcome themselves, and Cao Cao can!

"This is a chef named 'Fat Liu' specially sent by Commander Xiao to boil it for Cao Gong, and the heat is just right!" Seeing Cao Cao wake up, Cao Chun, the captain of the army, immediately brought him a big bowl of boiled corn porridge, and his stomach was empty after being drunk.

However, this bowl of porridge is foreign after all, for safety reasons, Cao Chun is ready to take a sip first, in case someone poisons, he is Cao Cao's nephew, because he is brave and good at fighting, and he is careful, so he was appointed as a pro-soldier captain, responsible for protecting Cao Cao's safety, this kind of thing is only the most suitable for him to do, but the porridge bowl was snatched away by Cao Cao before it reached his mouth, and he drank it clean in an instant!

"Hehe, it tastes good, no worries!" Cao Cao nodded, after getting drunk, not only was his stomach empty, but his whole mental state was also empty, at this time, he could eat a bowl of rice porridge with a strong human touch, which was really a big supplement, "Don't worry, how can there be a ghost face Xiao Lang who poisons people!" ”

For Xiao Yi, Cao Cao is 100% trusted, just like those Cao family's children and nephews, besides, if Xiao Yi wants to kill him, do you still need to poison him? One day, when the army was defeated and fled to the river, there was an opportunity to attack.

"In the future, you don't have to worry about coming to my account to ask for a meeting, you don't need to pass it, just let it go!"

"No!" Cao Chun clenched his fists with both hands, saying that he had written it down, and at the same time understood Xiao Yi's position in Cao Cao's heart, and those who could directly enter this inner tent were also among the few in the Cao family's own people, this trust was really heartfelt!

After eating and drinking, you have to start facing the reality, in fact, the current situation is not optimistic, the army is newly defeated, morale is low, if you want to come out of the shadow of defeat, it is difficult!

Changed into a bright red armor, with a few guards, holding high his handsome flag, Cao Cao began to patrol the camp in person, the reason why he wore such a sassy bag is to let his soldiers see that your commander is still there, and has not been defeated, so as to achieve the purpose of boosting the morale of the three armies!

He walked around the barracks with a few guards, and Cao Cao was taken aback by the result, not that the situation was too bad, but on the contrary, it was too good!

In just one day, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the barracks, only to see that the originally chaotic barracks have become serious and tidy, the white tents are next to each other, vertical and horizontal, all the soldiers have changed into brand new military uniforms, and their little faces have been washed cleanly, and there is no longer the original sad face!

At this time, it was meal time, smoke curled everywhere, Cao Cao went to take a look, dried corn, dried meat and wild vegetable soup, the portion was enough, the soldiers ate wolf, Luoyang City had long been swept away by the Xiliang rebels, and no grain and grass could be collected, and there was a general shortage of food in the princes' army, and it was definitely a luxury to be able to eat such food!

"Big brother, it's all thanks to Xiao Lang that the military spirit has stabilized!" Seeing Cao Cao coming to patrol the camp, Cao Ren, who was having dinner with the soldiers, came over and told him what had happened that day and night!

It turned out that after Xiao Yi carried the drunk Cao Cao back last night, he did not remove his armor and immediately began to reorganize the whole army, because Xiao Yi has always had prestige and has just saved the lives of Cao Ying's generals, so everyone is willing to listen to his command.

The first thing Xiao Yi did was to rectify the appearance of the army, if you want to restore morale, you must first start from the appearance of clothing, Xiao Yi ordered, the whole army took turns to bathe by the Luoshui River, and burned all the military uniforms stained with blood, which can not only completely sweep away the shadow left after the defeat, but also prevent the plague from spreading in the army, and then the whole army will change clothes.

At this time, I can see that Xiao Yi had the foresight to seize the 'Shangfang', as the largest workshop in the Han Empire, this is simply a large military factory, Zhang Ji was also interesting enough, and there were a lot of good things left!

Military uniforms, weapons, armor, tents, flags, gongs and drums, ...... everything needed in the army, almost all can be found here, and the storage is sufficient, enough to equip tens of thousands of troops, and then Xiao Yi sent cavalry to collect those soldiers who were scattered, the day before yesterday, there are many soldiers scattered outside, if they are abandoned, those people are either starving to death in the wilderness, or become rogues, plundering the people everywhere, so we must take back all the rebellious soldiers, which is responsible for the soldiers, but also responsible for the people, In the end, after a day and a night's retraction, thousands of people were pulled back......

After Xiao Yi's efforts, Cao Jun finally recovered a little bit of vitality, and there was no longer the miserable appearance when he was defeated!

"Good! Good! Wuwu is doing beautifully, and he can save a lot of worry after having his old man! Cao Cao praised two good words in a row, he can go on the horse to fight on the outside, and he can govern the army on the inside, and there is such an all-round talent to help him take care of these things, and he can preside over the plan wholeheartedly in the future!

This is Cao Cao's way of employing people, only grasp the program, do not ask about others, as a commander, he knows what he should do, and what should he delegate power, unlike other princes, in order to firmly control the army, everything must be done personally, and the trivial matters of sesame mung beans must also be asked, for fear that others will hide him, the result is that he is tired half to death and does not say anything, and his subordinates still feel that they are not trusted, and they are detached!

"Order, drum gathering, Chinese army big tent discussion!" Cao Cao has made up his mind that since there are capable people under him, he must reuse them, give full play to all his skills, and bury talents, it is definitely not his Cao Mengde's doing, and there are some major things, it is time to discuss them with his subordinates, and the future is bleak......

"Woo! Woo! Woo!! ...... "With the sound of the horn, the generals of the Cao army scattered everywhere gathered to the big tent of the Chinese army, this is the first time that Cao Cao has convened a meeting after the defeat, there must be important things to discuss, so no one slackens!"

After Cao Cao sat in the handsome case in a military uniform, Xiahou was the leader on the left hand, Cao Ren on the right, and the rest of the generals were arranged on both sides according to the size of their official positions, and when they heard the sound of the horn, Xiao Yi also came to participate in the parliament, but standing there became a problem!

According to his official position, Xiao Yi is still a small 'point army Sima', lower than the positions of all the generals in Cao Ying, that is, partial generals like Li Dian and Le Jin are his superiors, so Xiao Yi also consciously stood at the end of the team at the beginning!

As a result, all the generals in Cao Ying's camp exploded at once, just kidding, who dares to stand in front of the 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' in a big way, even if Cao Cao doesn't punish them, they have to let those soldiers drown with spitting stars!

So there was such a scene:

Li Dianqian conceded, "Xiao Lang, please!" ”

Le Jinqian let '" Xiao Lang come ahead! ”

Xiahou Qian, "It's good for me to go to the back......

Cao Ren also humbly conceded, "This first position is actually for you......

In the end, Xiao Yi was pushed down all the way to the right-hand position of the handsome case, the big Han Chong right, the right is the up, this position means that he is the first general of Cao Ying! And the name is well deserved, and everyone is convinced!

"Xiao Lang listens to the order!" After the conference began, Cao Cao's first point was Xiao Yi's name,

"Humble duty!" Face is given by others and lost by himself, although everyone humbly allows him, Xiao Yi will never swell indiscriminately, and still claims to be humble.

"Xiao Lang first has the merit of conquest, and then has the ability to lead the army, and he specially named you as 'General Yingyang', ranking above the generals of the battalion, and has the right to command the army in peacetime, and the officers below the rank of lieutenant in the whole army, you can cut first and then play!" After the handsome case, Cao Cao began to reward him with a smile on his face, and it was rewarded at one time, and you couldn't stop at it!

This is also the way of employing people!

Now that Dong Zhuo has held the Son of Heaven hostage and moved the capital to Chang'an, the country is in a state of anarchy, so the officers under the various princes are basically rewarded by themselves, and the big seal is also engraved by themselves, at most send someone to Chang'an to report it, and it doesn't matter whether it is approved or not.

The highest official position in the military generals of the Han Dynasty is the great general, followed by the 'hussar general, the great Sima', followed by the 'four expedition generals', and then the following are all miscellaneous generals, but Cao Cao is strict in governing the army and never rewards indiscriminately, so the gold content of Xiao Yi's 'General Yingyang' is still very high.

"Xie Cao Gong is rewarded, and the last general will be loyal to his duties, carry the flag, and move forward!" Xiao Yi took a few steps forward and paid homage with a military salute, but he was secretly crying in his heart, after staying up for so long, his brother was finally promoted.

"Congratulations to Xiao Lang on his ascension, I'll see General Eagle later!" The rest of the generals stepped forward to congratulate, and at the same time, Xiao Yi also had a new title - General Eagle!

"Alright, let's discuss what to do next!" Cao Cao said the biggest worry now, the princes begged Dong to give up halfway, Luoyang City was ravaged by the war and dilapidated, it is impossible to supply the 300,000 horses of the coalition army for a long time, some princes have begun to lack food, the next step, everyone will have to fend for themselves.

But where is the road ahead? Cao Cao's command has been rectified and collected, plus the Xuanjia Army, now there are about 20,000 people, not too much, but not too much, if you want to feed this army, you must have a base, Kyushu in the world, where is the place to go?

"Lord, go to Yangzhou, it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it has not been ravaged by war, the people are rich, whether it is recruiting soldiers or collecting grain, it is more convenient, it is a good place to go!" Xia Hou first proposed that he had wandered away from Yangzhou in the past and was more familiar with it.

"Yangzhou? Gangnam! Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly asked, "No worries, what do you think, how about going to Yangzhou?" ”

"Back to Cao Gong, the last general thinks it's impossible!" Xiao Yi has been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, the base is very important, after the choice is good, it will get twice the result with half the effort, if you choose the wrong one, you are likely to be put in a cage, and it will be difficult to do it in the future, "Although Yangzhou is rich, but one is far away from us, and most of the soldiers in the battalion are northerners, and they rushed to the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the water and soil are not adaptable, and moreover, Nanyang is too guarded by Yuan Shu, Changsha is too guarded by Sun Jian, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, all of them are divided in that vicinity, if we go to divide a piece, it will inevitably conflict with them, with the current strength comparison, we win less and lose more!" ”

"Yuan Shu? Sun Jian? Liu Biao? It's a problem! Cao Cao nodded approvingly, none of these three people are easy to mess with, at least they can't deal with it now, but the wealth of Jiangnan is true, it's a pity to give up!

"In addition, the last general dares to ask Cao Gongzhi? If Cao Gong wants to divide one side, then he can go to Jiangnan, where the people are rich and the Yangtze River is dangerous, and it is indeed a good place to divide the land as the king; Speaking of this, Xiao Yi took a step forward, staring at Cao Cao with eyes like a black hole, "But if Cao Gong is determined to be in the world, then he must gain a foothold in the Central Plains, because since ancient times, those who win the Central Plains win the world!" ”

"Whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world!" Cao Cao kept reading this sentence in his mouth, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Xiao Yi was right, although Jiangnan was good, it could only be divided into one side, from ancient times to the present, the country has never been unified from south to north, with the courage of the overlord of Chu in the west, the power of Jiangdong, and finally it was not destroyed by Liu Bang, who occupied Guanzhong!

A little closer, the huge 'Seven Kings Rebellion', hundreds of thousands of rebels also divided Wu Chu against the Central Plains, but it was wiped out in three months, because of the terrain, fighting from the south to the north, it is indeed a loss, especially the elite cavalry necessary to dominate the world, that is a special product only in the north!

"Okay, let's go to Yanzhou, where is the middle of the world!" Finally, Cao Cao said a word!

"No! ……”
