Chapter 327

Hong Chengchou has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. There are as many as 12 at the level of the general army alone. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, various auxiliary soldiers and civilian men in the general army, which makes the local pressure very great,

Even though two armies were sent out to hunt down the exiled bandits, Lu Jiude and Zhu Dadian thought it would never be enough. Liu Bu defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops with thousands of troops. That is because the Liu family army has red cannon and they are the most elite troops, but Cao Wenzhao's army does not have so many artillery, The weapons and equipment were not so sophisticated. They went to suppress the bandits, and no one looked after them.

Liu Bu admired Cao Wenzhao. He died in the war. He killed the enemy bravely under the heavy siege of the enemy. After killing for a long time, he finally killed himself. The Ming Dynasty gave him a high evaluation. Even the later Manchu and Qing Dynasties gave him a high evaluation. He was a qualified soldier.

So when Cao Wenzhao led his troops to leave Fengyang City, Liu Bu led his trusted generals to see him off.

This somewhat surprised Cao Wenzhao. You know, there was no contact between him and Liu bu. On the contrary, the two sides not only had no contact, but also had a bad deal with each other. It was kind of hostile. However, it was a little surprising that Liu Bu actually came to send him.

If Liu Bu simply came to send him, it would not be surprising. It can be understood that he was hypocritical and hypocritical. Look at his jokes.

In the battle with the roving bandits, Cao Wenzhao was beaten head and blood, and finally got nothing, while Liu Bu was the kind of person who only made an inch of merit, but finally got a colorful head.

He Liu Bucai was young and fought with the wandering bandits. Unexpectedly, he won the title of famous general in the world, and also won such a good position as Fengyang general army and such a good territory as Fengyang. What did Cao Wenzhao get? He Cao Wenzhao didn't get anything. Under the name of Datong general army, he didn't have his own territory. Now he still wants to hunt down the rogue bandits.

Others enjoy happiness and go to war by themselves.

You should know that these elite armies have a characteristic, that is, if you have a territory, you can collect taxes or slowly scrape and raise troops in your own territory. There is a big difference between a general army with a territory and no territory.

Therefore, many people think that the imperial court's reward for Liu Bu is too thick, but the reward for Cao Wenzhao is too shallow.

You know, Cao Wenzhao was a veteran who had experienced many battles, but he was defeated by Liu Bu in the end. Compared with Liu Bu, he was far inferior, which made many people compare them and made Cao Wenzhao very angry.

But Liu Bu didn't send him jokes today, but sent a large number of grain and grass, which can be used by his army for several months. No matter what the other party's mentality, the other party sent him grain and grass, which still made Cao Wenzhao happy.

Since Cao Wenzhao joined the army, he has always been cruel and ruthless. He will slaughter and surrender soldiers every war. In this regard, his reputation is very bad. In addition, there are often impeachments about his army plundering soldiers and robbing people's wealth, which also makes them very bad reputation among the people. In fact, the reputation of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is not good among the people, Many people understand that roving bandits are rebellious farmers who don't have enough to eat, and the officials and soldiers are executioners who rob them of money and suppress the farmers. Moreover, Cao Wenzhao never showed mercy to the soldiers, so his reputation is even worse.

It has been said since ancient times that killing prisoners is unknown.

Even if Liu Bu came to see him off, Cao Wenzhao didn't have a good face. He just said a few words of politeness on the surface. The other party thanked him, then waved his horse and whip directly, and led his army away.

Cao Wenzhao knew that his Marshal Hong and Liu Bu were wrong. He could take Liu Bu's food and grass because he was very short of food and grass, but he didn't want to have any intersection with Liu bu. Would Cao Wenzhao, a famous general of his generation, have to change his face and turn to his Liu family?

His little Liu family has not reached the stage of self-reliance, and it is worth his Cao Wenzhao to serve.

Although it was the beginning of the sun, Liu Bu had a feeling of sunset. He knew that Cao Wenzhao would go here and would never come back. A generation of brave generals fell and left the title of unparalleled good general at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bu went to see Cao Wenzhao off, which surprised Hong Chengchou, who was also on the top of the city. Liu BU should be their enemy and would like them to die early.

So Hong Chengchou ordered his followers to call Liu Bu over. He said, "it's rare that you, General Liu, also came and sent a batch of grain and grass. I thank you on behalf of the officers and soldiers."

Although Hong Chengchou was entrenched in Fengyang City, governor Zhu Dadian and general Lu Jiude were so obsessed with them in terms of food and grass that they didn't have a good life.

This is Fengyang, the hometown of the emperor, and also the place with the most nobles and dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the 24 famous Huaixi generals have descendants here. Although it is a rich place, it is also a world-famous place difficult to govern. He is entrenched here, which is more difficult and sad than he imagined.

Hong Chengchou has been meeting with local dignitaries and squires these days, but the other party doesn't buy him. They always think that Hong Chengchou stationed in Xuzhou and didn't dare to enter Fengyang to recover the lost land as soon as possible, which made them cruelly treated by rogue bandits. Hong Chengchou is to blame in this regard.

However, Liu Bu is different. He keeps on fighting thieves in the north and south. Since the road on the land is blocked, he even comes by boat. To put it bluntly, he tries every means to save the people in Fengyang, so Liu Bu's reputation is very good.

In addition, Hong Chengchou has been impeached, supported the army and respected himself, and he dare not rob the army, so their life is not easy. Even if they sit in Fengyang mansion, which is the richest in the world, they live a bitter life.

Liu Bu said to him, "I belong to my colleagues. Since general Cao set out to fight, the last general should come to see him off."

Hong Chengchou said to him, "General Liu won the biggest prize this time. You should be honored for this."

Liu Bu had to say, "thunder, rain and dew are all grace."

Hong Chengchou said, "since you understand this, General Liu, you should know that the wandering bandits are the great enemy of the imperial court. If you have strong soldiers in the world, you shouldn't sit in the rich land of Fengyang and enjoy Qingfu, but share your worries for the emperor."

On this big issue of right and wrong and moral highland, Liu Bu will not lag behind others. He said: "As the commander-in-chief appointed by the emperor, the emperor's virtue is great and the emperor's grace is deeply bathed. Naturally, he wants to break his bones for the emperor to repay the emperor's grace. As for sharing worries for the emperor, it is also certain. The so-called sharing worries for the emperor will think that what the emperor asks me to do is right."

Liu Bu has been on the road for such a long time. He is also an old Jianghu and veteran. He won't be fooled into fighting because of the other party's light words. I sit in a cornucopia like Fengyang and enjoy happiness in the land of heaven. Isn't he fragrant? It's stupid to be fooled into fighting after listening to the other party's words.

Hong Chengchou also knew that he wanted to deceive the other party to go to war in a few words. It was impossible. He always felt uncomfortable when he saw the powerful Liu family army, well-equipped, deep and strict weather, and the real army of tigers and wolves. He thought that one day I would dispatch all this army to exterminate the roving bandits or go outside the pass to fight against JianNu.

Since the two sides did not speculate, they were polite and went to each other after a few words.

Liu Bu had a bad impression of Hong Chengchou. He was a famous scholar and a famous official. In the end, he became a traitor and took refuge in JianNu. Hong Chengchou in that era was deeply indebted to the emperor. Even people all over the world thought that Hong Chengchou was indebted to the emperor. After a big loss, he should commit suicide to repay the emperor's grace. Even the emperor thought so. So he built a temple for him He went to the ancestral hall, and finally came the news that he took refuge in JianNu.

This really slapped the emperor Chongzhen and the scholar bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty. You know, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the highest level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made the whole scholar bureaucrat class of the Ming Dynasty feel ashamed.

After the two sides dispersed, they went back to their barracks. Liu Bu still went back to his barracks. Although he did not work in Fengyang general army house, he was already performing the duties of Fengyang general army. Since he was Fengyang general army, he naturally had jurisdiction over the rule. He had a plan for the exiled bandits and mountain bandits under his rule, that is, sending troops to destroy them.

Liu Bu learned from his father's experience. After he took office as the commander in chief, he would immediately invite local sages with governor Zhu Dadian to discuss major plans. Through this hand, he gathered the hearts of local officials and asked everyone to give advice, unite together and fight the enemy together. Although this move was a little rustic, it was very effective. Soon Liu Bu became a regiment with them 。

Liu Bu was thinking that since he had become the commander-in-chief of Fengyang, it would be impossible to return to Shandong in a short time. Why not take all his husbands and make a scene here? So he immediately asked someone to do it.

Fengyang's name is Fu, but it is equivalent to a province. The quality of his chief soldier is also quite high. It is very beautiful and has great face. It can be regarded as honoring the ancestors. He brought his wives or family members here to enjoy glory and wealth, which is also a very correct thing.

Besides, he went to war soon after his marriage and fought for several months. He couldn't help it if he wasn't close to women. It's the so-called three years as a soldier. The sow is a Diao cicada. Now he can't control himself. So it's the best way to bring his wife here.
