Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49 Greeting barefoot?

After Lu Yan, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun left,

The government affairs of Chenliu County were all handed over to Mao Jie and Ren Jun. They had recently enriched some grassroots officials, and the work on their hands was actually not too heavy.

Military defense and the like are now fully responsible due to the ban,

Dian Wei is temporarily in charge of the security of Chenliu County. As long as he appears, the crime rate will definitely drop sharply.

Since the north is now an alliance with Yuan Shao, and the south and east are their own territories, Chenliu County now only needs to defend the west.

However, Luoyang in the west was already in ruins, so Chen Liu basically had no military pressure, which was one of the reasons why Lu Yan left with confidence.

Yanzhou Prefecture, Juancheng, in Boss Cao's bedroom.

When he got up early in the morning, Boss Cao felt refreshed and said to himself: "Today is another happy day, so we must work hard!"

Cao Cao has recently been in good spirits on happy occasions,

When he heard that Yuan Shu was attacking, Cao Cao was already mentally prepared for a blood loss.

I don't know, that guy Lu Yan from Chenliu County,

Not only led Chenliu's soldiers to block Yuan Shu from Chenliu County,

Even repelled Yuan Shu, and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy a Yingchuan County!

Every time Cao Cao thinks of this, he is rather smug and carried away, and he is still muttering to himself at this moment:

"Mr. Lu can always bring me surprises. I, Cao Mengde, really have the destiny? Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed and took out the Tiandao diary notebook from under the pillow when he turned around, and was about to follow up on the diary from the previous two days.

Look, he didn't keep up with Lu Yan's diary every day, isn't that considered inflated?It must be inflated!

Just when Boss Cao had just opened the cover of the diary less than halfway through,

Suddenly a servant came to report from outside the door,

"Patriarch, Lu Yan, Zhao Yun, Xi Zhong, and Guo Jia are visiting!"

Hearing that these four people came to visit together,

The diary in Cao Cao's hand almost fell to the ground.

His heart trembled even more, and he thought to himself: "Why did these four people come together? Could it be that something serious happened?"

Not daring to be negligent, even a little anxious, Cao Cao didn't even wear shoes and coat,

Just wearing a fur cloak,

Out of the bedroom!

This is late autumn,

Cao Cao couldn't feel the cold hands and feet at all, because now he just wants to know what happened!

The four of Lu Yan just took their seats in the hall,

Cao Cao suddenly disheveled his hair, and rushed in barefoot and loose clothes.

The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while...

Lu Yan and the others looked at Cao Cao in shock, and Cao Cao also looked at Lu Yan and the others in extreme embarrassment...

"Looking at their situation, it doesn't seem like something serious has happened?" Cao Cao thought for a while, "What should I do, I'm so embarrassing..."

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, thinking how could Boss Cao be so frivolous?

Lu Yan saw the embarrassment in Cao Cao's eyes,

So he pretended to cough twice, got up and cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao greeted you with bare feet, Yan, panic!"

Only then did Xi Zhicai and the others recover from the shock, regardless of whether he, Cao Cao, really wanted to greet them barefoot, anyway, first pass the ladder to the boss's feet first...

The ladder was stretched to the foot, and Cao Cao naturally took advantage of the situation to step down.

But when Cao Cao saw the stranger among the four,

His mind couldn't help but turn again,

Then he ran up to Guo Jia, grabbed Guo Jia's hand firmly, and said in an extremely sensational tone:

"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I finally hoped for you!"

The smile on Guo Jia's face froze at first, but was immediately replaced by a moved and excited expression.

Although Yuan Shao also recruited him in the past, compared to Boss Cao's "greeting with bare feet" and "looking forward to the stars and the moon" in front of him, one is in the underground and the other is in the sky!

Guo Jia gently broke away from Cao Cao's hand, then took two big steps back, cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Jia, how can you be so kind to Duke Cao?!"

"Heaven did not give birth to me, Guo Fengxiao, seeking the way through the ages is like a long night!"

Cao Cao's words made Guo Jia blush,

Just when he wanted to say that this was just a teasing and joke between Lu Yan and himself,

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao stepped forward to help him up and said solemnly: "You are the first person who can be evaluated by Mr. Lu in this way!"

"Mr. Lu?"

Guo Jia slowly turned to look at Lu Yan,

"Cao Cao called him Mr.? I remember Zhicai and Zilong. Sometimes they also call him Mr.? What's going on?"

Guo Jia didn't find out until now,

That Lu Yan who hooked up with him and skipped work to go shopping in restaurants,

It seems that Cao Cao and the other two have immeasurable weight in their hearts!

"Mr. is proficient in everything from literary to martial arts, and his ability to recognize people is unparalleled in the world." Xi Zhicai also stood up and praised Lu Yan fiercely.

After Xi Zhicai finished boasting,

As Lu Yan's most caring person, Zhao Yun is naturally unwilling to lag behind,

"Sir, you don't care about fame, wealth and glory. You only think that it is your responsibility to seek peace for the people of the world. You have a broad mind, which is rare in the world!"

Lu Yan is still a little confused now, and secretly said in his heart:

"Didn't you come here to sue Lao Cao, why did it suddenly become my boast?

This is too sudden!

It makes people feel embarrassed..." Naturally, no one can hear Lu Yan's inner voice, otherwise they will definitely give him a slap in the face.

Everyone's praise made Lu Yan blush after hearing these few words,

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said to these masters: "Thanks for the great praise, Yan, panic!"

Guo Jia stared blankly at Lu Yan,

Until now,

Only then did he understand why Lu Yan was able to "cover the sky with one hand" and "unscrupulous" in Chenliu County,

"So, you are such Lu Changsheng!"

Cao Cao saw that his embarrassment had almost shifted,

So finally, with a feeling of apprehension, he asked about the purpose of the four of Lu Yan coming here: "The four of you came together, is there any major event going to happen?"

"Oh, so Boss Cao came out to meet us in a hurry because he was worried about something big happening?" Lu Yan understood Boss Cao's intention.

However, Lu Yan took a sneak peek at Guo Jia, only to find that the guy was still immersed in the grand reception of "barefoot greeting", and couldn't help himself, and even had a tendency to sink deeper and deeper...

Then let him sink for a while,

Lu Yan had no intention of waking Guo Jia up, he just mentioned some of his reasons for coming here.

"Mr. Cao, in the Battle of Yingchuan, more than [-] soldiers from Chenliu County were killed or injured, and nearly [-] people were disabled..." Lu Yan said, his tone became serious, "Yan wants to ask for more compensation for them, Especially those brothers who died..."

In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, all forces realized the importance of the preferential treatment policy for soldiers.

Taking Wei as an example, in addition to paying a funeral fee and pension to the families of soldiers who died in battle,

If they had no heirs during their lifetime, they would find an adoptive son from their relatives or clan to continue the incense for the soldiers who died in battle.

If there is really no one to adopt, a temple will be built for the people who died in battle according to their merits and worshiped by everyone.

However, regulations are only regulations after all.

Although some regulations can come out of the documents, more often they can only stay in the documents.

Years of conquests during the Three Kingdoms period, countless casualties,

It is still very difficult to implement these seemingly generous pension policies.

The main problem is that it costs too much.

In an age when many living people are starving,

How much real respect do dead people get?

Chapter 50 Boss Cao, no matter how good you say it, why don’t you pay more

"Yan wants to ask for more compensation for them, especially those brothers who died..."

What Lu Yan said was very direct and sincere.

Not only Cao Cao, but also Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia felt the heaviness in Lu Yan's words.

Whether it is dead or seriously injured and disabled soldiers, their placement has always been a headache.

Cao Cao came to Lu Yan, stretched out his hand and patted his arm, comforting him:

"In battle on the battlefield, sacrifice is inevitable. Changsheng, don't be too sad."

After comforting Lu Yan a little,

Cao Cao talked about the arrangements for his own soldiers who died in battle: "The big man's compensation for the dead soldiers is actually quite good.

The imperial court has regulations that as long as a soldier dies in battle, the local government will buy coffins and funeral clothes for him.

Moreover, local officials have to personally attend the memorial service and burial ceremony.

I, Cao Ying, naturally should follow the Han policy. "

In fact, the Han Dynasty did not have clear regulations on the pensions for soldiers. It all depends on the personal likes and dislikes of the ruler or even his mood.

At the beginning, when the politics were clear in the early Han Dynasty, these policies were implemented relatively well, and the effect was really good.

But later,

Years of wars have ruined people's livelihood and the national tax has been greatly reduced, and official corruption has begun to prevail again.

Not to mention pension fees, the coffin may have been embezzled...

Seeing that Cao Cao had stated his plan for fighting against the dead soldiers, Lu Yan simply expressed his thoughts.

"Cao Gong, do you think you have done this?"

This is very embarrassing, let alone Cao Cao, even the court can't do it.

In troubled times, people are fighting dead at any time, and they simply don't have the energy and financial resources to implement these policies.

Before Cao Cao could answer, Lu Yan suddenly changed direction and continued to ask:

"Cao Gong, have you ever thought about those soldiers at the bottom, do they know why they are fighting?"

"Why are you fighting?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled when he heard the words. After thinking for a while, he asked cautiously, "Fighting to help the Han Dynasty?"

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Cao Cao was honest, and he finally expressed his true opinion, "The world is in chaos, yellow scarves are everywhere, and many people join the army just for one bite of food."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "It seems that you do understand the conditions of some low-level soldiers."

After a pause, Lu Yan continued: "However, such an army can only fight a superior battle. Once it falls into a disadvantage, it may soon face collapse."

In fact, this is the status quo of most princely armies now, and it is also the reason why many armies are instantly defeated if they encounter an ambush and do not even resist.

It's just to get a bite to eat, why risk your own life?

Cao Cao thought for a long time in silence, then sighed, and said, "This is a problem that troubles many famous generals, and it is also the reason why there are only a few elite soldiers since ancient times."
