The false emperor was killed, and Cao Cao's army returned triumphantly.

When more than 100,000 Cao troops passed through Yuzhou, thousands of banners with the word "Cao" suddenly rose from the ranks.

The strong wind howled, beat wildly on the flag, and made a crackling sound. For a while, the sound was heard for miles around.

More than 100,000 Cao troops did not stop for a moment.

He just raised the flag to signal to the surrounding folks that Cao Jun had made a triumphant return... Qiu did not commit any crime, and then returned all the way to the west.

This is the official road from Shouchun City to Xudu.

Cao Cao specially passed by Xuzhou. At the junction of Shouchun City and Xiapi City, Cao Cao's cavalry slowed down a little.

At this time, besides Cao Cao, there was also Xun You sitting in the carriage.

Recently, he discovered some unfavorable signs in Cao Cao's camp and was reporting them to Cao Cao.

Detecting the emotions of our soldiers is also one of the duties of a military advisor, and Xun You was very good at this.

"Cao Sikong... When we went out to attack the traitor Yuan Shu, we led more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. But now that we have triumphed, this number has more than doubled, to a total of 180,000 soldiers and horses..."

"There are a large number of Yuan Shu's troops among these troops, and most of them are from bandits, Yellow Turbans, and mountain bandits. Their discipline is extremely loose and they are disobedient... Many veterans have already protested before, and on the way back to the west, there was an even more violent outburst.

There were many conflicts between recruits and veterans, and even once...General Xia Houyuan raised his sword and killed two recruits, but it seemed..."

Xia Houyuan angrily killed the new soldiers...

This matter has long been spread in Cao's camp, and Cao Cao naturally knows about it.

The impact of this incident was huge. Xia Houyuan was happy to kill him, but... the consequences were the anger of more than 100,000 recruits, and the amplification of the conflict between recruits, veterans, military discipline and disrespect for military discipline.

just like…

Today, the entire Cao army is filled with the smell of gunpowder. All it takes is one explosive point to trigger a mutiny in the entire army.

For this reason, Xun You frowned. This was the third time that he reported the emotions of the soldiers of the three armies to Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao...

Every time he heard about this, he always waved his hands calmly, as if he had already made a plan.

"Gongda, I understand... Military discipline must be upright, and I have already thought of a strategy."

Cao Cao said.

this…

It was the same answer again, Xun You's face didn't look good.

His tone became urgent...

"Cao Sikong, upholding military discipline is the top priority at the moment... We can't delay it. If we delay it for a long time, I'm afraid the recruits will become more rebellious! What kind of soldiers are under the rebel Yuan Shu's command... Cao Sikong should know better than me.

.”

Xun You's words almost made it clear that Yuan Shu's men were a ragtag group, and the thieves were in a shelter.

Such a soldier, when used well, is a tyrannical force, but if it is not used well, it is just a cool thing...

"Haha..." Unexpectedly, Cao Cao laughed out loud. "Gongda, don't forget, our soldiers were originally from the Yellow Turban Army! You haven't behaved well in the past few years."

At this point, Cao Cao patted Xun You on the shoulder, and his next words were even more sincere. "Also, Gongda... you made a mistake in one sentence. Our top priority is not military discipline, but the autumn harvest!"

Mentioning this, Cao Cao glanced out the window...

It's autumn now, outside the window... On both sides of the official road, there are crops, yellow and orange, golden and shining...

Countless farmers in the fields showed smiling faces, as if they had finally waited for such a good year.

only…

this…

Xun You's eyes rolled, as if...Cao Cao's words suddenly made him realize something.

"Cao Sikong is planning to..."

"Haha..." Before Xun You could say anything, Cao Cao laughed first. "Don't forget that I mentioned something to you before, something Lu Sinong mentioned?"

"Barber in the wheat field?" Xun You blurted out subconsciously.

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded and murmured: "The hair and skin of your body are the responsibility of your parents!"

I just mentioned this... Cao Cao was about to elaborate...

"Da da da..."

A horse drove quickly to Cao Cao's chariot.

"Brother...everything is ready."

Listen to the voice, it's Cao Ren's voice...

"good."

Cao Cao's spirit was lifted, and he ordered the horseman to stop.

Immediately, he suddenly stood up and prepared to get off the carriage and ride on a war horse.

While dismounting, he did not forget to turn around and chant to Xun You: "Gongda, haha... The opportunity to enforce military discipline has come, haha."

While talking...

Cao Cao got off the carriage very excitedly and mounted a horse.

Xun You remembered...this horse was Yuan Shu's mount, and it was also a good horse.

But... the horse is a good horse, and Cao Cao lacks running-in with it. This move has a profound meaning...

"Haha, Cao Sikong doesn't ride Jueying, but rides this horse... interesting, interesting..."

Xun You thought for a moment, then laughed slightly.

At this moment, he seemed to understand that there was going to be another barber in the wheat field.

Just thought of this.

Cao Cao's loud voice has already resounded.

"I have been ordered by the emperor to send troops to attack the rebels and eliminate harm for the people. Now that the wheat is ripe... I am not allowed to return to the court in triumph. Whenever I, the generals and generals of Cao Camp, pass by the wheat fields, they must dismount and hold the wheat with their hands and pass it to each other.

Pass! Don’t trample on them wantonly! Anyone who tramples on the wheat fields will be beheaded... Our army of Cao Cao is as disciplined as a mountain and has never done anything against the people. People don’t have to worry!"

As soon as this statement came out...

Countless brave knights repeated and shouted over and over again... spread throughout the three armies and spread the praise to the people.

When the people heard... they all praised him happily and knelt down to Cao Cao...

What's more, some people shouted long live Cao Cao!

Yes, in these troubled times.

Long live the people who can feed the people!

…

Cao Cao personally ordered it, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies naturally did not dare to touch this bottom line.

Whenever they pass by a wheat field, they all hold it with their hands and pass it from hand to hand without daring to trample on it.

This is really a bit difficult for these new recruits.

They originally destroyed Wang Yuan Shu's men in Huainan and imitated them. Naturally, what they learned was also to plunder the people. In the fish and meat village...

If these wheat fields in Yuzhou were placed a year ago, then... they would have nothing to do with the people!

Almost 90% of them will be robbed or robbed...

But now... due to military orders, these new soldiers are inevitably... restrained and do not dare to act rashly.

It's just that... for them, one or two days is fine, but if the time goes on for a long time, it will inevitably... make them feel itchy.

You know, this is all wheat. Just take a handful and grind it into yellow noodles, and you can eat it for several meals!

I feel uncomfortable if I don’t grab it. How about ignoring military discipline and giving me a shot? Just a shot?

But...

Just when these recruits were feeling relaxed.

A "dove" appeared out of nowhere and flew in front of Cao Cao's horse. Cao Cao's horse was frightened and jumped into the wheat, destroying a large piece of the wheat field!

When everyone caught up, they saw that Cao Cao's hands were full of blood, and even the Heavenly Sword he had lifted was covered with blood stains, and drops of blood slipped...

In front of Cao Cao was a fallen war horse and a trampled wheat field.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Cao Ren rushed over immediately...

Countless soldiers came one after another and surrounded the place.

Xun You was also among them, and he was muttering in his heart that a good show was about to take place.
To be continued...
