Chapter 793 Mi Zhu: I Have Found a God-Level Supporter! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

After Zhang He gave the order, Cao Cao's proud Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and all the soldiers of the front army were chased and killed by the imperial cavalry. Even begging for mercy was of no avail.

Killing people is something that the court cannot tolerate, and it also touches Li Yu's bottom line.

On the city wall, Wang Lang of Mi Zhu was a little confused when he saw his own cavalry suddenly going on a killing spree:

"What happened? Why did the army suddenly kill and capture prisoners?"

Zhang Kai is very supportive of this behavior:

"Cao Cao's men must have done something outrageous, so they are treated like this, right! After being castrated, they still try to reach the sky, which makes people laugh!"

Wang Lang asked:

"General Zhang, what should you do if you and Ah Man become ministers in the same palace in the future?"

"I still scold him. Without him making trouble in Yanzhou, the north would have been pacified long ago, causing the people to be displaced and their families destroyed... Normally speaking, Yanzhou is richer than Xuzhou. Now the streets in Xuzhou are full of refugees from Yanzhou, all of whom are Cao Ahma Shouldn’t such a person be scolded for doing this?”

Mi Zhu nodded:

"From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to chop off his head... General Zhang, do you still need more manpower for this intelligence department? If you don't give up, I would like to recommend my brother to follow you."

Intelligence work is more important than Mount Tai, especially the control of equipment such as drones and walkie-talkies, which is of great help to the war and is not dangerous at the same time.

Mi Zhu was very excited about this kind of promising job without having to go through life and death. She wanted her younger brother to join in, and maybe he could become a marquis in the future.

Zhang Kai asked:

"Are you talking about Mi Fang? He can't bear this kind of suffering, right?"

The Mi family is the largest merchant family in the East China Sea. Their family has a lot of money and food. It is said that the pile of copper coins is higher than the barn, and the hemp ropes used to string the coins are rotten.

Wang Lang was a little curious:

"If Zizhong wants your younger brother to join the army, why not directly follow General Jun Yi or serve in the governor's office?"

It's better to be a messenger with Zhang He or a clerk with Zhang Xi than with Zhang Kai, a military intelligence officer with a humble background, right?

Mi Zhu was a businessman and knew how to increase his worth.

Mi Fang doesn't understand anything now. She just follows Zhang He. It's easy for her to be ignored or have her shortcomings exposed, and then be disliked.

And by studying intelligence work with Zhang Kai, maybe during a certain war, the drone operated by Mi Fang will be able to perform meritorious deeds, and thus gain recognition and rise to the top.

Moreover, training at the grassroots level first will also help Mi Fang grow.

Seeing that Mi Zhu was very interested, Zhang Kai said:

"He can come, but he must first agree that in our army no drinking, no gambling, no servants or women, no disobedience to military orders, we must get up early every day to train, study every night, and recite the military management regulations..."

Before he finished speaking, Mi Zhu was stunned:

"Don't you want to go to the frontal battlefield? Why do you have to work so hard?"

Zhang Kai patted the steel armor on his body and said:

"We are soldiers. Although the responsibilities of the reconnaissance team are not on the frontal battlefield, we must always be prepared to fight with weapons... Soldiers don't see blood, so what's the difference between that and women?"

Mi Zhu: "..."

I won't send my brother into the tiger's mouth, right?

A dozen miles north of Changlu County, Zhang He pointed at Cao Xiu’s body and said:

"Tie him up and hang him to a big tree on the official road. Then put up a sign with the words [He will end up killing the people] to give Cao Mengde some color behind him."

Cao Xiu's actions of killing people made Zhang He no longer have any good impression of Cao Cao's group.

He was no longer interested in whether the imperial court ordered Cao Cao to be safe. Now he just wanted to abide by his duty as the captain of Xuzhou and annihilate all invading enemies.

It doesn't matter whether you are a prince, a general or a dragon.

After arranging this, he asked his men to pile up the bodies of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Cao Cao's former troops on the roadside, then pour gasoline on them and burn them all.

If you simply burn it with gasoline, the body will not be easily burned through.

But this was exactly what Zhang He wanted. For a normal person, seeing a pile of blackened corpses suddenly would be a little scary.

If the pile of corpses were detonated at this time, the shocking effect would definitely leave a lifelong psychological shadow on Cao Jun.

The cavalry began to sort out the corpses, and dug pits to bury the heads of the tiger and leopard cavalrymen, so that these innocent people could be buried in peace.

When a raging fire broke out in the pile of corpses, Zhang He and others took the captured war horses, armor and weapons and set off back to Changlu County.

As soon as he entered the city gate, all the officials in the city came out to welcome him.

When they received the news that Cao Cao was coming to attack, they were very scared and even wanted to follow the people and retreat to Tan County.

But today I saw the power of the imperial cavalry, saw the dimension-reducing strikes of artillery, and witnessed the elegance of ancient warfare with technological equipment, my confidence suddenly rose.

Especially Mi Zhu, when he heard that Cao Cao was coming with troops, he was actually very inclined to sue for peace and spend money to buy peace.

But today's victory came so decisively that this civil servant quickly grew into a militant:

"Negotiating peace or anything like that is a cowardly act. As a Xuzhou native, you have to do the damn thing!"

Looking at the black-armored knights, Mi Zhu planned to treat everyone to a good meal with his own money to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Zhang He waved his hand and rejected the proposal:

"The army has its own food, so Zizhong doesn't need to worry about it. If you really want to do something for the court, send off a group of servants at home and donate some land. If there is enough food, you can also sell it to them at a fair price. "Court."

The Mi family in the East China Sea boasted millions of hectares of fertile land, more than 100,000 slaves, and endless salt fields on the seaside, which continuously added to the Mi family's property.

Their operation model is very traditional. They make money by drying salt, save money to buy land, use the land to grow food, use the food to attract more people, use these people to cultivate more salt fields, and then buy more land to grow food...

Under the idea of ​​​​adding more noodles, add water, and adding more water, add noodles, the entire Mi family developed quickly.

With money, they began to get involved in officialdom, preparing to gain official status.

Hearing Zhang He mentioning his home, Mi Zhu quickly raised his hands and saluted:

"Please ask General Jun Yi to teach me!"

Since Zhang Xi took office as the governor of Xuzhou, everyone knew that the imperial court was making big moves, even ground-breaking moves.

But what exactly it was, Zhang Xi and Zhang He remained silent and did not mention it at all.

Now that she heard Zhang He taking the initiative to talk about this, Mi Zhu was very excited.

He knew very well that this was Zhang He's good mood to remind him. After passing this village, he might never have the chance to know the court's policy in advance.

Arriving at the military camp, Zhang He sat down in the tent and said to Mi Zhu:

"What the imperial court wants to do now is to allow the people to have their own farmland. All aristocratic families that occupy a large amount of land and population will be liquidated. Therefore, your family's slaves and cultivated land should be dispersed as soon as possible. In the words of the imperial court, it is - transformation. You must seize the time to transform, so that you can keep up with the pace of the court and give your family new vitality. "

Mi Zhu's mind was spinning quickly, she looked left and right, and then asked in a low voice:

"General Jun Yi, has the imperial court abandoned the family?"

Zhang He took a sip of tea and said:

"The imperial court believes in putting people first. Before I became the prefect of Hongnong, I stayed in Chang'an for a long time. I went to your majesty's imperial study several times. There was a calligraphy treasure in it, which your majesty treasured very much. Do you know what is written on that calligraphy treasure? ”

Mi Zhu did not expect that Zhang He would mention Your Majesty when he came up, so he quickly and politely brought the teapot to Zhang He:

"I'm just a small businessman living in a corner. How can I guess His Majesty's thoughts? General Jun Yi, don't be too secretive. What's written on the calligraphy treasure that Your Majesty cherishes?"

Zhang He said word by word:

"People, people, ten thousand years old!"

Mi Zhu opened her mouth and widened her eyes, making as many mistakes as she wanted:

"Your Majesty's calligraphy... who gave it to him? Why... this is wrong!"

All along, the knowledge Mi Zhu was exposed to and the social structure she was familiar with were that the emperor was the only one who controlled the gentry, and the gentry governed the world.

As for the people, they are just common people, who cares whether they live or die.

Zhang He said:

"This is a gift from His Majesty's master, Mr. Li. We, the great men, are able to achieve what we have today, with sharp weapons such as drones and walkie-talkies, and such good steel for armor, all thanks to Mr. Li's condescension to help. Mr. Li has a strong attachment to the people. Compassion has been promoting free education, free medical care and other issues... His Majesty once said that in the entire Han Dynasty, anyone who disagrees with Mr. Li's initiative will be a sinner of the court. "

Mi Zhu's mind was filled with shock and disbelief, and he opened his mouth. He lowered his voice and asked:

"Who is this Mr. Li?"

"The biological son of Empress Nuwa and the godson of Empress Houtu. The gods and immortals regard him as their master, and the Buddhas respect him as their elder. He was known for five thousand years before and five thousand years later. Those of us who followed him earlier called him As a gentleman, those who follow you can only respect His Majesty the Holy Son... Isn't Dong Zhuo powerful? He killed Dong Zhuo in just a few words, and the Xiliang army didn't even stir up a wave."

Zhang He combined the things he heard from hearsay with his own imagination and told them all at once, making Mi Zhu suddenly make up his mind:

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son showed compassion for us, and we naturally wanted to repay him with death. I immediately wrote to my hometown and asked them to dismiss their slaves, give each of them some housing allowance, and then allocate all the cultivated land under my name... I will leave this matter to Who is better to do it?”

Seeing him being so righteous, Zhang He was very happy:

"Leave these things to Governor Zhang. What you Mi family have to do now is to keep a low profile, so as not to be tolerated by the Xuzhou family. Moreover, you merchants have popular support. If it is not a good thing, don't mix it up... Just put your salt in it." Let it dry and it will benefit you in the future.”

After saying that, General Zhang He took out the Han official salt that General Zhang He had eaten and handed it to Mi Zhu:

"Look, what we eat now is this kind of official salt. It is very clean, pure and delicious. When Xuzhou is pacified in the future, sir, you may be rewarded with several sets of equipment. By then you can also produce this kind of official salt. If the people are willing to eat it, it will ensure the prosperity of your family."

Mi Zhu touched the salt bag, and the shock in her heart never stopped.

And when he saw the price on the salt bag, he was even more surprised:

"So cheap? If you let me sell it, this bag will cost at least five guan, and you won't even have to bargain."

Zhang He said:

"Mr. believes that salt is the foundation of life, so the price is set very low so that all people can easily buy it. He also formulates laws to crack down on hoarding and driving up salt prices. In the future, salt will also serve as an anchor for currency. function, so the price will be very stable.”

In just a few words, Mi Zhu opened the door to a new world. He never expected that there really were gods in the world, and they were willing to help the big man.

This kind of opportunity to hug his thigh is very rare, and he will not miss it no matter what.

Before it got dark, Mi Zhu wrote a letter in the camp. After sealing it properly, he sent his confidants to send it to his hometown in Tan County overnight... Hugging the family was already too weak. This time, Mi wanted to hug the gods' thighs tightly. !

After finishing writing the letter, Mi Zhu held the salt bag and looked at it again. The more she read, the more she liked it:

"General Jun Yi, is this produced in Hedong?"

"Yes, the Hedong Salt Pond has been transformed into a time-honored salt factory. The coarse salt produced in the sun can be processed through machines to produce this snowflake refined salt. When the war in Xuzhou is over, His Majesty will call you to Chang'an. When you pass by Hedong, you can go to the salt factory Let’s take a tour of the factory... Then I’ll write you a note and say hello to them in case they don’t let you in.”

The two of them chatted until dark, and then Mi Zhu reluctantly left.

Before leaving, he felt that it would be inappropriate not to do something, so he turned back and asked:

"General Jun Yi, my family is quite wealthy. Can you donate money to the court to show your appreciation?"

Worried that Zhang He would misunderstand, he also emphasized:

"This is not to buy an official position or a title. It is purely to express your love for my great man. I also ask General Jun Yi to fulfill my wish!"

Zhang He said:

"The imperial court will definitely appreciate your behavior, but I suggest you consider this matter after the year... The imperial court is about to issue new currency, and someone needs to take the lead in exchanging it with the old currency. If you, the Mi family, perform well, your majesty will probably Special commendation. It’s not too late to donate when you change to new currency.”

After sending Mi Zhu away, Zhang He frowned and just chatted. He still didn't understand the situation with Cao Cao.

He strolled to the intelligence office's camp and saw Zhang Kai who was leading people to read and write:

"When did you start the night reading class?"

Zhang Kai smiled sheepishly:

"The brothers you brought said that our imperial army has the habit of studying at night, so we inherited it. Moreover, in our department, it is not possible if we do not know how to read and write, so we have organized a literacy class like this."

Reading and literacy started in the Bingzhou Army. Since Jia Xu came into contact with real-world knowledge, he started cram schools in the army such as literacy classes, map surveying classes, and electronic and electrical appliance repair classes.

After entering Chang'an, the Bingzhou Army was reorganized. This habit was brought into various armies by the old men of the Bingzhou Army. Now, armies everywhere have developed the habit of studying at night, and the literacy rate has increased significantly.

Zhang He encouraged everyone and asked Zhang Kai:

"What's going on with Cao Cao now?"

Speaking of business, Zhang Kai immediately put down the map on the wall, pointed at the Miaoshui River sixty or seventy miles northwest of Changlu, and said:

"They have just completed crossing the river today, and they should set up camp and rest by the river... If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Ren will arrive at the camp tonight and bring the news of the annihilation of the former army to the camp. If the defeated troops follow, there may be The camp mutinied."

Just after crossing the river, another invincible cavalry appeared in front, which was indeed easy to cause panic.

Zhang He said regretfully:

"It's a pity that we don't have a car, otherwise we could bring a drone and drive over there to bomb it."

It takes a horse almost a day to travel dozens of miles, but under normal road conditions, a car can cover it in more than an hour.

Throwing gasoline and other objects into Cao Cao's camp through drones will definitely cause Cao Cao a psychological shadow.

Zhang Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this:

"General, how about I try to make a trip tonight?"

Zhang He shook his head:

"It's too late. When Cao Ren returns to the camp, Cao Cao will definitely take precautions and even place the sentry dozens of miles away. We are in a sure-win situation, so there is no need to take risks."

It was time to switch to Ma Chao, and the group had already set off, but Zhang He was cautious and did not like such risky behavior.

Dozens of miles away, the gauze lanterns in the military camp were already lit. Cao Cao felt restless and walked out of the military camp, intending to go to the Miaoshui River to have a look.

It is midsummer now, and the sound of frogs in the Miaoshui River is full of sounds. Cao Cao frowns when he hears it, and Cao Hongchong, who has been guarding him, ordered his subordinates:

"Go, chop up all those squawking frogs and feed them to the dogs!"

Cao Cao waved his hand:

"Zilian doesn't have to be like this...are you still afraid of hearing loud noises now?"

Cao Hong shook his head:

"Whether you are afraid or not, you have to face it...Brother, what should I do if I can't find my uncle? Now I only know that he is missing in Xuzhou, but I don't know the specific location. It is impossible to find him."

Cao Cao walked to a stone and sat down, listening to the rushing water and said:

"If you can't find him, massacre the city and let the people of Xuzhou take the initiative to hand over his father... The people of Xuzhou, the place where the Four Battles took place, are weak. With a little intimidation, Tao Qian will be at my mercy."

Just as he was about to talk about his plans after occupying Xuzhou, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from ahead, and Cao Ren's shout:

"Get out of the way, get out of my way! Let me see the lord!"

Cao Cao was stunned:

"Is this... Zixiao's voice? Shouldn't he be in Changlu County now?"

Cao Hong was also stunned, then he held a knife in one hand and a lantern in the other, and quickly rushed towards the sound of horse hooves.

Cao Cao followed behind, his footsteps messy, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Finally, Cao Hong stopped Cao Ren:

"Zixiao, my lord is here, why are you in such a mess? Get off your horse quickly!"

Cao Ren rolled off his horse, and the horse tilted on the ground, foaming at the mouth from exhaustion, and could not stand up at all.

Seeing Cao Cao, Cao Ren's tears burst out:

"My Lord, the front army... is all gone!"

Cao Cao shook his body and almost fell to the ground... The most worried thing still happened. A mere Changliu County in Xuzhou actually blocked the front army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Cao Cao was a little distracted.

Cao Hong looked back and asked Cao Ren:

"Where is Wen Lie? Where is he?"

Speaking of Cao Xiu, Cao Ren's tears flowed again:

"We were chased by the black-armored cavalry, and he stayed behind to cover the rear. I am afraid that he is in danger... Brother Zi Lian, I am ashamed of you, please punish me."

Before leaving, Cao Ren patted his chest and promised to take good care of Cao Xiu, but he didn't expect that he would be lost on the expedition, which made Cao Ren very regretful.

Black-armored cavalry?

Cao Cao's attention was attracted by these four words:

"You mean, there are troops from the imperial court in Xuzhou?"

Cao Ren nodded and was about to speak, when the sound of a small boat crossing the river suddenly came from the originally calm surface of the Huangshui River, and someone on the boat kept shouting:

"Where is the lord? Yanzhou...Yanzhou has fallen!"
