Chapter 969: Hero Cao Cao

Liu Biao didn't know about Liu Bei's actions. In history, it was because Liu Bei was too active and made friends with the aristocratic family in Jingzhou. Then Liu Biao found out, and then Liu Biao wanted to kill Liu Bei, but Liu Bei ran away.

But this time, Liu Biao's body was too weak, and Liu Biao was concealed from top to bottom, not letting Liu Biao know.

They are already secretly trying to train Liu Bei so that Liu Bei can take over smoothly.

At this time, Liu Biao didn't know that he had been excluded.

Just waiting for when Liu Biao's soul will return to the ground.

Liu Bei is in a good mood recently. He has recruited a group of staff. Although the number is not large, he finally has his own team.

Forming his own team has always been what Liu Bei wanted.

But he didn't know that one of his dozen or so staff members relied heavily on the nail planted by Zhang Yu in his early years.

On this day, Fu Xun went to drink tea in the teahouse at leisure, everything was normal.

When paying the bill after drinking, there was an extra note in my hand, and the note was secretly stuffed into the shopkeeper's hand, and then left.

This Fu Xun is one of Liu Bei's most important staff, and he often entrusts him to take care of some chores.

The shopkeeper didn't open the note. He often received this kind of note and didn't feel strange.

Put the note in the compartment of the counter and get on with the work.

About half an hour or so, everything was calm, the shopkeeper called a waiter to clean up, and then the waiter secretly took the note to the back.

If someone is watching, their movements are so hidden, it is difficult to be developed.

This teahouse was secretly opened by Jiangdong. It is very convenient to pass information here.

Non-urgent information can be handled in this way, and there is enough time to send it out.

Xiao Er handed the information to the accountant behind in the backyard, and the accountant arranged for the information to be passed on.

A few days later, Zhang Yu received the information.

"I'm afraid this Liu Bei is really going to become famous."

In Qingzhou to check road repairs,

Zhang Yu looked at the information directly on the side of the road.

Liu Bei's activities fell into Zhang Yu's eyes, but Zhang Yu didn't do anything.

"Liu Bei is going to rise after all, so let's rise."

At this time, Zhang Yu was so powerful that he was not worried about Liu Bei's influence on him.

This historical time and space of Liu Bei has been castrated by Zhang Yu. Without the support of the Mi family, even Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun would not be by his side.

Zhang Yu knew that Liu Bei was seeking Liu Biao's status, so he didn't bother to pay attention, and continued to pay attention to the things he cared about.

Zhang Yu is more concerned about Cao Cao's situation.

After the last war, Cao Ang handed over Yecheng to Cao Ren, and he returned to Xuchang.

After returning, Cao Ang reported the situation of the war in detail to Cao Cao.

After assessing the combat power in detail, Cao Ang explained to Cao Cao that Zhang Yu's young general broke out on that day, which dealt a serious blow to their army.

"Father, this Zhang Yu has established a military academy a few years ago, but few people have paid attention to this military academy."

"When this military academy was established, it trained low-level military officers such as centurion commanders and thousand commanders. There were not many people, and each period might have three or four hundred people, or even less. But in the past six months, we have strengthened our intelligence work. , It is not that simple to discover this military academy."

Cao Cao was listening carefully, and he also understood the course of the battle that day. Whether it was analyzed from the perspective of soldiers or other generals, the young generals in Zhang Yu's army were indeed very eye-catching in this battle.

Cao Cao is drinking tea, he likes drinking tea very much now, it can make him more sober.

He took a sip, warmed his body, and said, "Very good, let's continue."

Cao Ang continued: "This Zhang Yu focused on training a group of young generals. Many of these young generals came from Jiangdong College of Higher Education. If they join the army, they must go to this military academy for two years of training. After that, they will generally be able to take up the position of commander-in-chief. , After training in the army, they have grown up very quickly, and many of them have already led an army alone."

"In that battle, a dozen young generals led people to continuously attack, causing us a lot of casualties."

"According to our secret investigation, the number of such young generals recruited every year may be more than a dozen or twenty, and now there are more than one hundred in the army. Zhang Yu has gradually entrusted these people with important responsibilities, and now they have become middle-level generals. "

Cao Cao nodded, then sighed and said, "This is Zhang Yu's fear. Even the generals in the army are willing to use students from higher schools."

Scholars in this era are undoubtedly high-level talents, and talents are rare.

The key point is that Zhang Yu asked them to be centurion commanders, and the better ones are thousand commanders. The probability of these officers dying in battle is very high.

It is indeed very high. The seed officers trained by Zhang Yu and the others have a high death rate, and more than one-third of them died in battle.

But being able to stay and grow up undoubtedly has a bright future, and may become the cornerstone of the military in the future.

Cao Cao also understands this truth, but most of his scholars are from aristocratic families. They look down on soldiers, so naturally they will not serve in the army.

In this way, Cao Cao didn't have many choices.

"Father, we must also reform in the army. The low-level officers have too much influence on an army. Zhang Yu trained in batches for several months, and many officers have been trained. With these officers, it is easy for them to expand the army. .”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, you stay in Xuchang and hurry up on this matter."

Cao Cao thought for a while and then said: "We also need to help train the tiger and leopard cavalry, rebuild the tiger and leopard cavalry, and form combat power as soon as possible."

For the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao was quite sad. So many people died in battle, and it would cost too much to rebuild.

This Cao Cao is not as good at making money as Zhang Yu, which makes him feel a little stretched, and the money is often a large deficit.

If you have no money, you can find aristocratic families to support them. However, the asking prices of these aristocratic families are not low, and you need to pay from other places.

Cao Cao didn't like this very much, but he had no choice.

Cao Cao has worked hard to grasp the economy, and Xun Yu is almost exclusively helping Cao Cao to grasp the economy and grain. Although the effect is there, there is still a shortage.

Cao Ang left after reporting, but Cao Cao fell into deep thinking.

Now it seems that he has the advantage, because he can concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops, but Zhang Yu cannot.

It is rare for Zhang Yu to concentrate a force of 500,000 troops.

If 500,000 are concentrated, there will be many loopholes in Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

"Is there really so much wealth hidden overseas?"

Cao Cao knew that a lot of Zhang Yu's wealth came from overseas, but all the coastal areas were controlled by Zhang Yu.

It may be possible to grab it, but none of them can go to sea.

"Perhaps this king should initiate the decisive battle, and Zhang Yu should not be led by the nose." Cao Cao said, looking at the map hanging on the wall.
