Chapter 374: Three Factors of the Winner
Thanks to the helpless instant noodle brothers for a monthly ticket!
The reaction of the two made Cao Cao feel a little bored, and he didn't say anything more, and directly ordered to return to Tongguan, a group of tens of thousands of people, and after nearly half an hour, they finally arrived in Tongguan.
Cao Cao, who did not have a trace of bad taste, the first thing he did when he returned to Tongguan was to bring Pang De out for trial, although now Cao Cao's command can be regarded as civil and military like rain, but for talents, Cao Cao still does not dislike much.
It was very easy for Pound to recruit him than before, and although it took some time, Pound finally chose to be loyal to Cao Cao.
Of course, Pang De's allegiance has a requirement, that is, to treat Ma Yunlu well, Cao Cao agreed to this, anyway, he didn't want to get anything from Ma Yunlu, even so, it is better to generously agree to Pang De's request and let him be loyal to himself, so wouldn't it be very good.
After Pang De's allegiance, Cao Cao let him stand aside, pointed Cao Ren out and said: "Zixiao, in this battle, you took the lead and killed nearly twenty enemy soldiers, but Gu had spoken before and the merits were offset, so this time to recover Chang'an, Gu will not send you, do you have complaints?" ”
"Returning to the king, the last general will not have the slightest complaint!"
Cao Cao still understands what Cao Ren's personality is, so Cao Cao still believes his words, nodded and said: "So good, Lejin, Pang De listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to lead an army of 50,000 to Chang'an, and after recovering it, beware of the army from the Xiliang side!" ”
Cao Cao asked the Hebei family to contribute a year's worth of money and grain, not only to support Tongguan, but also to use it again to regain Chang'an.
Although it is said that he can't attack Xiliang, it is impossible for Cao Cao to give up Chang'an, Chang'an is still a big city, and the vitality is still stored, as long as it is restored, the money and grain provided to Wei are still considerable.
Obviously, due to the financial crisis of Wei this time, Cao Cao has become somewhat similar and fell into the money bag, and the two people who didn't understand their king's thoughts immediately stood up and took Cao Cao's order, among which Pang De's touching and gratitude, needless to say.
After all the things to be explained were finished, Cao Cao went down to rest, as for other things, the rewards of the soldiers who would inevitably go out to fight, etc., these were only sent by Cao Ren and Sima Yi and others, and Cao Cao did not need to continue to say anything.
After a good night's sleep, on the second day, leaving 5,000 soldiers to garrison Tongguan, Cao Cao led the remaining army of more than 70,000 and Cao Ren, Zhao Yun, Cao Pi and Sima Yi, and the squad members marched towards Chendu.
On the way, I don't know if it's because of Cao Cao's order, Zhao Yun is very good to Ma Yunlu, a prisoner, and can be called conscientious, which makes Cao Cao, who is watching from the sidelines, feel a little subtle.
Cao Cao can't say whether Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu can become husband and wife like those written in later generations, but according to the current situation, there are still some possibilities between the two.
Although Ma Yunlu's expression was not very friendly every time he faced Zhao Yun, he snorted coldly, but in Cao Cao's opinion, this was angry and more like the so-called tsundere.
Thinking that Zhao Yun, a person who is not too young, it is finally possible to get married, Cao Cao still has some joy in his heart, to be honest, at this time, the only one under Cao Cao's command who has not yet married, except for Dian Wei, who is stunned, only Zhao Yun remains.
Dian Wei is not interested in women, for him, compared to women, he is interested in hunting, and Zhao Yun, it is simpler, directly a famous sentence of Huo Quai, and blocked Cao Cao's mouth.
Zilong, Zilong, this time it's not like you're forced to marry alone, if you can't hold it yourself, don't blame Lonely.
Cao Cao secretly thought in his heart that he really wanted to see what Zhao Yun looked like when he got married, which was the only small wish left by Cao Cao in his previous life.
Putting Zhao Yun's matter aside for the time being, Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi on the side and asked aloud: "Ziheng, this time my father let you experience on the battlefield, how did you train, and what do you think?" ”
"Back to the father, the child thinks that on the battlefield, the final winner comes from three aspects, one is the national strength, the second is the soldier's combat power, and the third is the talent of civil and military affairs, only these three aspects can have the upper hand, even if it fails for a while, the final victory will be us!"
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, who had no expression on his face, and he really didn't expect Cao Pi to say such a thing, this remark seems to be very ordinary, but even those princes are unlikely to understand, and more importantly, Cao Pi's words put national strength first, which is very rare at this time, in an era when almost all of them value the number of soldiers and strategies.
Cao Pi at this age, being able to say such a thing can be said to be shocking to Cao Cao, thinking about his previous life, at Cao Pi's age, he was still playing with toys in ignorance.
After secretly sighing in his heart, after the ordinary person in his previous life could not compare with Emperor Wei Wen above history, Cao Cao asked curiously: "National strength is the first, Ziheng, can you tell me, why do you think so?" ”
"Back to my father, just like this battle of Tongguan, if it weren't for my Great Wei heritage, for other princes, the defeat at this time would be enough to hurt the vitality, it is because of my profound Great Wei heritage and strong national strength that I was able to organize a large army to go to Tongguan again soon after the defeat of Tongguan, and this victory, in addition to this, my Great Wei soldiers, everyone is not afraid of death, coupled with Mr. Sima's clever strategy, we can finally defeat Ma Teng and others, and wipe out their 100,000 troops!"
Cao Pi's words were cold, and there was not the slightest hint of flattery, but the soldiers who heard it on the side, everyone was angry with a touch of pride and pride, and their eyes at Cao Pi became very friendly.
Looking at Cao Pi, who inadvertently gathered the hearts of the soldiers present, Cao Cao once again determined that the Cao Pi in front of him could never be the Emperor Wei Wen who almost did nothing in the romance.
But in history, the Emperor Wei Wendi who sent troops to recover the Western Regions and beat the Saiwai barbarians and Sun Quan, this kind of silent move to win people's hearts, even if he Cao Cao, was mastered after several years of experience. (To be continued.) )
