There was a turmoil in Yangzhou, but with Liu Ke's suppression, everything returned to calm.
There were no external wars in Sizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou under Cao Cao's rule, but civil strife occurred frequently.
The imperial court had to send generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to suppress all parties, especially in the Xiliang area, where rebellions were repeated.
The Qiang people were dissatisfied with the imperial court, that is, Cao Cao's rule, and raised armies one after another.
Among the Qiang people, Han Sui and Ma Chao had the highest prestige, but unfortunately they were not used by Cao Cao.
Even if Cao Cao got help, it would be of no avail. Because what he did in Liangzhou simply gave the Qiang people no way to survive.
???As long as he is a strong man, he needs to join the army!
Cao Cao was in Liangzhou, harvesting leeks in waves to strengthen himself.
The Qiang people do not have high recognition of Cao Cao, so of course they will rebel. However, their resistance did not put much pressure on Cao Cao.
Often rebellions are wiped out by Cao Cao just after they start, or are still being plotted.
Cao Cao also knew that he had offended the public, but he had no choice.
He needs enough troops!
The Han people are the foundation of rule. Never use critical strikes, otherwise the Qiang people will be in trouble.
All because of Sima Yi¡¯s suggestion, all the people became soldiers and the military system of the Warring States Period was restored.
Soldiers fight in wartime and plow the fields in their spare time.
This greatly violated the Han Dynasty¡¯s recruitment system, but in troubled times, who could control so many?
In his madness, Cao Cao was able to raise an army of 600,000 men and restore his former glory.
This 600,000-strong army is based on local units. Each place has two to five battalions. Each battalion has more than 20,000 soldiers. It is the main force of Cao Cao's army and can be called "elite".
Of course, with such brutal conquests, it is absolutely impossible to have only these 600,000 troops.
These 600,000 troops are the "main battle corps" formed on the basis of excluding local defenders.
In other words, these 600,000 troops can be mobilized at will without putting the local guards in a dilemma of being unable to operate, that is, an army that can be used for battle at any time.
If all the soldiers of the imperial court were included, the number should exceed one million, but unfortunately, more than 400,000 of them belonged to the guard army and guarded the four states.
They are distributed in the large and small cities and border fortresses under Cao Cao's rule. They are responsible for local security, anti-theft, city gate closing, etc. Under normal circumstances, they will hardly be mobilized.
Of course, the reason why Cao Cao's main battle regiments are stationed separately is because they usually have to farm.
During busy farming times, the main battle corps needed help. As for the maintenance of the crops, it was left to the defenders.
Due to the high yield of food, Cao Cao did not have to worry about food shortage.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was especially grateful to Liu Ke. If Yangzhou hadn't promoted corn, sweet potatoes and other new foods, it would have been impossible for Cao Cao to feed so many people.
Considering the surrounding situation, there are only 30,000 troops stationed in the military camp on the outskirts of Chang'an. As for Xuchang, the nominal capital of the Han Dynasty, there are only 20,000.
"Compared to Yangzhou's 100,000 troops stationed in Runan, Xuchang is in danger.
But Cao Cao no longer cares. The Han Dynasty is in its decline, and its influence has become smaller and smaller over the years.
Emperor Xian is even less worth mentioning.
If he can attract the attention of Yangzhou, Cao Cao feels that this is a very cost-effective deal.
The main force of Cao Cao's army is best located in Luoyang!
Luoyang has a strong pass, and it is not an easy task to attack.
And it is more convenient to start from Luoyang, whether it is to support Xuchang or Yanzhou, and Bingzhou is only separated by the Yellow River.
Therefore, Cao Cao stationed 300,000 troops in Luoyang, collectively called Luoyang Guards.
In Cao Cao's knowledge, he has only one enemy, and that is Liu Dingfang, King of Dongyang.
One morning, Cao Cao took his hundreds of personal guards and generals out of the city and left Luoyang, and came to the Luoyang Guards¡¯ barracks to inspect the army.
Only when accompanied by a mighty and majestic army can Cao Cao feel at ease.
Because the rebellions in various places did not cause much harm, but they always made people upset.
"How does such a powerful army compare to the Yangzhou Army?" Cao Cao said in high spirits.
"This is where the elite of Cao Cao's army lies, and it is also Cao Cao's pride. Anyone who dares to gibber will lose their head."
Therefore, some generals remained silent. However, Cao Cao would also be angry if no one spoke.
So Cao Hong took the lead and said: "King Wei, if the 300,000 Luoyang guards hold on to one place, even the 500,000 Yangzhou troops will not be able to attack!"
The defenders already had the advantage, and Cao Hong took advantage of the situation, but it still opened up the topic.
"Haha! Zi Lian is right." Cao Cao smiled very happily, "What if it's a field battle?"
Cao Hong took a step back and signaled that this question would be answered by someone else. After all, he had already taken a crucial step.
When Cao Cao glanced at him, many people lowered their heads, even some veteran generals.
"Yu Jin, you tell me."
Why is it me?
Being called by Cao Cao, Yu Jin looked horrified.
"King Wei"
"Call me Lord from now on!"
Cao Cao corrected the situation with his words.
"The same goes for you."
King Dongyang has long been proclaimed king, but his subordinates still call him lord.
"King Wei kept shouting, and Cao Cao always felt uncomfortable.
"My lord my subordinates believe that it is best not to fight with the Yangzhou Army in the field. They have endless methods and are difficult to defeat. Our army has many new troops and can be trained to defend the city in simple and easy-to-understand means."
This sentence touched the heart of Cao Cao, but he was also a person who wanted to save face.
This kind of training can be done secretly, but it cannot be said in front of so many people.
Xia Houyuan quickly added:
"Please give the order, my lord, to hand over the Luoyang Guards to the last general. The last general will definitely train a warrior capable of hundreds of battles."
In other words, the 300,000 Luoyang Guards will be trained into a force that is good at field combat and can compete with the Yangzhou Army.
As for the other troops, let¡¯s defend the city.
Cao Cao fell into deep thought and said after a while: "Good!"
Xia Houyuan clasped his fists in response.
These are all generals under Cao Cao. After experiencing so much, Cao Cao has become more tolerant.
"King Dongyang is strong, and we are not weak either. Now, what we lack is an opportunity, an opportunity to win!"
"My lord is wise!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was so talkative, Yu Jin was pushed. He turned his head and bared his teeth.
¡°What the hell, what he just said was already very offensive, and now he¡¯s being asked to take action
Don¡¯t you know he is timid?
"Wenze, what do you want to say?" Cao Cao said amiably and authentically, "Now we share the same adversity, and there is no distinction between monarch and minister."
Believe it or not!
Yu Jin maintained his respect for Cao Cao and said cautiously: "That's it, my lord, our army is expanding too fast. Food is fine, but the armament cannot keep up."
Many local troops don¡¯t even have weapons!
Not to mention armor, swords and the like, even the simplest spears and spears can't keep up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
