Chapter 122 Walk in the dark and serve the light! (4000 chapters)(1/2)
Command the Hu army...
These five words gave Wu Liang an instant reassurance. There is no doubt that the Huren Army will be his one-stop shop from now on!
As for Cao Zhen, he can definitely get what he wants and leave the Hu army to lead the war. It just depends on what kind of official position he will be given and how many soldiers and horses he will be given. This still depends on Boss Cao's wishes.
But this is not Wu Liang’s responsibility.
"Thank you so much, envoy. I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Wu Liang was overjoyed and thanked him with his hands.
However, Cao Zhen didn't understand what Boss Cao meant. When he heard that Wu Liang had been promoted to the rank of Captain, he immediately winked at Wu Liang and looked at Boss Cao eagerly, with " Me, me, me! And me!" with an expression on his face, fearing that Boss Cao would accidentally forget him.
"Anmin."
Boss Cao glanced at him and finally gave him a pleasant word, "You have also made some achievements this time. You were brave when fighting Zhang Liao, but your qualifications are still young. From now on, you will be temporarily included in the Zixiu corps." , give him some experience as a deputy general (deputy general), and I will have other plans when you are qualified enough."
"Thank you uncle, I will definitely follow brother Zixiu to have a good experience!"
Cao Zhen's eyes widened as he regained his energy, and his joy was beyond words. He almost laughed and said these words. This guy just wants to lead the army to fight. Even if he is allowed to go back to the army again, he can't ask for it. What's more? The best general second only to Cao Ang?
"Be careful and use your brain when encountering problems. Zixiu still has a long way to go in the future. As his general, you must also make progress before you can make achievements."
Boss Cao pressed Cao Zhen's shoulder in a rare and intimate manner, and spoke with sincerity, the meaning of which was self-evident.
But this was definitely not just for Cao Zhen alone.
On this occasion, this tone was a very heart-to-heart private conversation. Since both Xi Zhong and Wu Liang were present, this conversation was also meant for them.
It can be seen that this time Wu Liang has really entered the heart of Boss Cao, and the trust he has gained is extraordinary.
"Yes! My nephew will definitely work hard in the future and dare not let down his uncle's expectations!"
Cao Zhen responded quickly.
"..."
Although Xi Zhicai and Wu Liang did not speak, they both bowed and saluted Boss Cao in unison.
Seeing that Wu Liang agreed with him, Xi Zhicai saluted him and glanced sideways at him, then a knowing smile appeared on his face, which meant that he officially regarded him as a colleague...
"Um."
Boss Cao patted Cao Chun's shoulder twice more, turned back to look at Wu Liang, and said with a smile, "You are talented. The war in Xuzhou has not yet completely ended, and the rebellion in Yanzhou has not yet been completely put down. Fortunately, What our army gained this time was not small, not only did we capture half of Xuzhou, but we also used our momentum to surrender many soldiers and horses along the way."
"It's a pity that it's winter now. I'm afraid the war will have to be put on hold for the time being. We'll wait until next spring to make plans. And these tens of thousands of extra soldiers and horses will be tens of thousands of mouths to eat."
"Although there is still some surplus in food and salary now, it should be no problem to survive the winter, but when we fight again next year, I am afraid we will be stretched again..."
At this point, Boss Cao's meaning is already very obvious.
The army of the Hu army, the army of the army, the captain of Wu, the captain of Wu, there is not much rice in my bowl, and there is not much milk in Cao Jun's bowl. How much is it? Not much!
Please give me milk, please give me milk, please give me milk in advance!
"I am willing to share your worries with you!"
Wu Liang decisively cupped his hands.
"Oh? You already have a plan?"
Boss Cao perked up and asked immediately.
"Do you know that there was a Haihun Kingdom in Yuzhang County?"
Wu Liang asked.
"Of course I know that it was once the territory of Liu He, the deposed emperor of the former Han Dynasty. This man only served as emperor for 27 days before he was deposed. Later, he was moved to Yuzhang County and became the Marquis of Haihun. Unfortunately, the Haihun Kingdom did not take long.
He had no successors and was expelled from the country by the imperial court."
Boss Cao is naturally a well-informed person, and Wu Liang can tell a story by just mentioning his head.
"Exactly, the general had previously heard that the deposed emperor Liu He was not willing to accept his deposition, and secretly conspired with the prefect named Sun Wanshi to restore his throne, so he prepared a large amount of property in advance. Unfortunately, someone reported the incident later.
He will pass away soon, and those belongings will probably be buried in the tomb with him."
Wu Liang said half truthfully.
"I know something about this matter. If it is true, as long as the talented people endure some hardships, our army will have no worries when we go to war with Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others next year!"
A flash of light flashed in Boss Cao's eyes and he said immediately.
"I would like to share your worries with you!"
Wu Liang immediately raised his chest and responded.
"But Yuzhang County is a long way away. How many troops do you plan to bring with you? What kind of support do you need from me?"
Boss Cao thought for a while and asked again.
"The Hu army marches in darkness to serve the light. Too many people will easily expose them, which will be disadvantageous in their actions. Therefore, I only plan to bring a hundred people with me this time, and carry the 'flying slaves' with me. If we encounter special circumstances, we can report the news in time."
The message was sent back to Juancheng to ask for help from the envoy. In addition..."
Wu Liang pondered for a moment, and finally bowed and said to Boss Cao, "... I will boldly ask the envoy to borrow the Marquis Bead. The army of the Hu army often has to go underground where they can't see their fingers. Sometimes the underground environment is special and open flames cannot be used for lighting.
, Suihou beads have become an indispensable lighting item, which can greatly increase the success rate of actions."
This is something Wu Liang has thought about for a long time. Suihou beads also come with a Suizhu man, who must come back.
Wu Liang was willing to give the Suihou Pearl to Boss Cao without even feeling sorry for him, but the same could not be said for the Suihou Pearl. In Wu Liang's opinion, it was a rare treasure.
"Okay! What a 'walking in darkness and serving the light', this 'light' will be temporarily given to you, take it!"
Boss Cao was more generous than he imagined. Without thinking, he re-wrapped the Suihou Pearl that he had just put aside and handed it to Wu Liang. He said, "Although the Suihou Pearl is a treasure, it is not important to me.
It is only useful for the moment when it is announced to the world. As long as you bring it to me at that time, what's the harm in having it used by the Hu people's army the rest of the time?"
Don't say anything else.
Just Wu Liang's words "I only plan to bring a hundred people with me" can make Boss Cao feel relieved.
The most suspicious thing in this era is that his generals come to borrow troops when they are traveling far away...
Liu Bei is one of the best. According to statistics, as the person who betrayed his superiors the most times in the history of the late Han Dynasty, whether he borrowed troops or territory, he never returned it. The famous Lao Lao of the Three Kingdoms is not just talk.
.
If someone borrows something based on their ability, why should they return it?
"Thank you so much for your trust, I will shed tears of gratitude!"
Wu Liang was delighted and thanked him.
Tonight he came to Boss Cao to offer beads, but he didn't even dare to let Bai Jingjing know. What if this girl insisted on following him, not to mention whether she would be caught by Boss Cao for breaking into Cao's house? What if Boss Cao
It would be a big loss to collect the person and the beads together.
but.
Bai Jingjing is not yet a wife, nor is she a woman from a noble family, and she may not be able to catch the eye of Boss Cao, but let's take precautions before it happens.
Especially after what happens with Bai Jingjing in the future, we must be more careful and guard against it!
"I wonder when Youcai plans to set off?"
Boss Cao pondered for a moment and asked again.
"In a few days, the general will still need to make some preparations before leaving. Once the preparations are complete, we will set off immediately."
Wu Liang said.
"Don't worry, I'm going to hold a celebration banquet in the next few days. I'll call all the generals who have made contributions in this battle to celebrate. As the biggest contributor in this battle, you must drink a few glasses of wine with the banquet. When the time comes,
I would also like to select a few achievements that can be made public and tell them to everyone, and also tell these people not to underestimate you and make you feel wronged!"
Boss Cao smiled, shook his head, and said again.
Although Boss Cao is not an easy leader to serve, if you study history carefully, you will find that as long as you are sincere enough to gain his absolute trust and have enough ability to be used by him.
He is a rare leader who protects his shortcomings well.
For example: Guo Jia has the three most criticized problems of being greedy for money, drinking, and lustful, and his life is very disorderly;
Another example: Cheng Yu became a stubborn old man with a violent nature when he was older, and often had conflicts with others;
Another example: Xiahou Dun was kidnapped by Lu Bu and lost the face of Cao's army. Every time he fought, he lost more than he won. He patted his chest and tried to lobby his friends for Boss Cao but failed;
Another example: Dianwei was not born well. He always eats and drinks as if no one else is around, regardless of the occasion, regardless of his image.
Officials often came to Boss Cao to complain about these people, but Boss Cao never took them seriously. He indulged them as much as he wanted, and sometimes when pressed, he would even punish the person who complained.
So Boss Cao's move is reasonable. Regardless of whether it wins people's hearts or not, he has always done a pretty good job in this regard.
"Thanks for your great love, I will do my best to serve you."
Wu Liang handed over his hand and thanked him again.
"No need to thank me, I would rather thank you, hahaha."
Boss Cao laughed heartily. While laughing, he mentioned what Wu Liang had said just now and praised the opera actor beside him.
This phrase 'Walking in the darkness and serving the light' really touches my heart, it touches my heart..."
