Chapter 3206 Clothes

When Yang Xiu returned to his narrow tent, he also saw the somewhat resentful expression of his guard and couldn't help but smile.

The guard's surname is naturally Yang, and he is actually about the same age as Yang Xiu.

The big families always have the habit of placing children of the right age in the clan and their children to grow up with their children. This kind of guard who has been cultivated since childhood will obviously be more loyal than ordinary guards, and truly share honor and disgrace, and is related to life and death.

Not only Yang Xiu, but most of the children of aristocratic families have such guards.

If it is used to charge and rush into battle, these guards will cover the left and right, but if it is used to humiliate good families in the street, these guards will also pull the curtains and help hold their legs.

It can be said that these people are human-shaped tools. How to use them depends on the person who uses them.

Because they are all people who have been with you for many years, Yang Xiu is familiar with these close guards. Seeing the guard's expression, he thought for a moment, and then smiled: "No need to do this... Huaiyin could still tolerate the humiliation under his crotch in the past. This little thing is nothing...

"Mr.," the guard saw that Yang Xiu had opened his mouth, so he didn't hide it. He pointed his hand at the direction of Cao Cao's tent, "What is that guy? When he used Mr...."

Yang Xiu waved his hand and stopped the guards' complaints.

Outside the curtains of the tent, light and shadow sway.

Yang Xiu signaled.

The guard took a few steps, opened the door curtain, looked out, then retracted his head and lowered the door curtain, "Langjun, there is no one outside."

"Be careful when speaking..." Yang Xiu ordered.

Not only do you have to be careful, but he will inevitably be irritated when he hears these words.

Perhaps to calm the guards' emotions, or perhaps to show his excellence, Yang Xiu was silent for a moment and then whispered: "Prime Minister Cao... will soon face a serious failure..."

"What?!" The guard was shocked, "The husband's intention is that Cao... the Prime Minister is going to be defeated?"

Yang Xiu frowned, "The voice is smaller."

The guard then realized and quickly whispered: "Why did you say this?"

"Huh..." Yang Xiu leaned against the mat behind him. In fact, he was tired from running back and forth, not only physically but also mentally. Now he returned to his small tent, and felt relieved, and some literary youths who were drunk and awakened, saying slowly, "The cavalry office lost far fewer people than the prime minister... The prime minister had not triggered it before, but now he has strengthened the offensive, which can only explain one thing...

The guard asked: "What's the matter?"

Yang Xiu smiled, "Prime Minister... is short of food."

"Ah?" The guard was stunned, "How did you know?"

Yang Xiu laughed.

As Yang Xiu, who was once a senior yamen, his understanding of politics is naturally far beyond his own guard.

The problems Cao Cao faces now have a much greater political impact than the loss of strength. The psychological blow to the Shandong gentry will not be inferior to the previous Xu County Under the Alliance, because they will only have the most feelings for their kind.

They would not care about the number of poor people who died or injured, but if a few gentry and senior generals died, they would be heartbroken and would never forget them in their lifetime.

Now the facts are in front of you. When fighting against the Guanzhong cavalry, not only will the soldiers die, but the high generals will also die!

Although the people who died now are from the Xiahou clan of Cao, what about the future?

If the battle continues, how many people will fill in such a flesh-and-blood mill?

When the Western Qiang rebelled, why did there not be any military generals from Shandong? On the one hand, Shandong might be slightly inferior to the Liangliang in physique, and on the other hand, it was that there was no taller among the dwarfs, which eventually led to the growth of the Western Liang sects such as Dong Zhuo. This may not be as good as the geniuses of Shandong and the lack of force under their own hands.

So now we continue to fight with the cavalry, and the people from the Xiahou clan of Cao will be filled in. If more children of the gentry will be needed to fill in, how many of the people from the gentry in Shandong will have the ambition to dare to imitate Ban Dingyuan?

Obviously impossible.

Although Yang Xiu was not sure how Cao Zhen and Xiahou Yuan died and what the combat process was, he was sure that with the examples of these two generals, the Shandong gentry would feel guilty when they faced the cavalry. Because it was very simple, if they were just defeated, most of the chief generals in the army could escape, and even if they really couldn't escape, they could surrender and save their lives.

But now, death has appeared.

This either means that the entire army was defeated and died in the chaos, or it means that the cavalry was angry because of this large-scale attack in Shandong, and at first he would not show mercy and would have taken the lead.

"Mr., I haven't heard of this before..." The guard said in confusion, "What if Prime Minister Cao hides it and doesn't report it... hide it from Shandong?"

"You think it's simple." Yang Xiu shook his head, "If all the people died, they might be able to hide it... But now... this matter cannot be covered. Sooner or later, people from Shandong will know... The situation where the Cao family dominated the military and political situation will be difficult to deal with..."

"Haha... Maybe this is not bad..." The guard said with some gloating pleasure, "If the Cao clan members are too damaged and Prime Minister Cao's reputation is damaged, there will be more opportunities... It is not like now... At that time, Prime Minister Cao may not rely on the talent of the husband..."

Yang Xiu laughed and waved his hand.

After a while, Yang Xiu sighed, "This cavalry... is really hard to deal with... Even if I really lead the army, I'm afraid it's... Not to mention anything else, those gunpowder machines alone are quite tricky..."

In fact, Yang Xiu was also a little scared when facing the cavalry.

When the Western Qiang and Hu people were in rebellion, they were also very fierce, but Yang Xiu was not afraid at that time.

Because of the simplicity of fierceness, there is not much threat, but now the cavalry army gives Yang Xiu the feeling that it is not only fierce, but more like an iron-blooded war machine, which makes him feel guilty.

In the Cavalry Army, new things are always coming out, and the combination of various gunpowder making and long-range weapons is very practical, so the Cao army has not yet found a suitable method to deal with it.

Simply put, Yang Xiu is not afraid of fierce enemies, but is afraid of enemies who don’t know how to deal with.

This is true for him, and the children of Shandong gentry are almost the same.

"Langjun, what should we do?" the guard asked.

Yang Xiu stood up and walked in the tent silently for two rounds.

After a while, Yang Xiu whispered: "You find an opportunity to go back to Hongnong and report these things to my father... My father knew what to do..."

The guard said in surprise: "Then I'll leave, you are here..."

Yang Xiu was silent for a while and tickled, "I should be no danger..."

Yang Xiu thought that he had just returned from Pingyang. Although he did not bring any good news to Boss Cao, it would not bring any bad news. Moreover, in Pingyang, under the surveillance of Boss Cao's Cao's soldiers, Yang Xiu's "power cannot bend, wealth cannot be lustful" was more or less remarkable...

More importantly, if Boss Cao needs an envoy to take a trip, then wouldn’t Yang Xiu, a familiar guy, come in handy again?

So Yang Xiu felt that he should still be safe.

Of course, more importantly, Yang Xiu must bring a message to the Yang family in Hongnong. In the final stage, if Cao Cao was defeated, he would plunder everything on the land he had already occupied, whether it was manpower or wealth, in order to make up for his own losses, and not give the enemy, that is, the resources of the cavalry, which is equivalent to a solid wall and clearing the field. Therefore, the Yang family of Hongnong must transfer assets first, otherwise when they are entangled by soldiers, it will be really hard to separate.

This matter must not be prevented, and it cannot be put into the pen, becoming a proof of guilt in black and white, so it can only be replaced by vague oral messages. Even if the guard is arrested, it means some family matters and some family matters, and there will be no handle.

The guard subconsciously looked at the curtain of the tent and whispered: "Since that's the case... Why don't you... this place should not be left for a long time..."

"Shut up." Yang Xiu turned his head and stared at the guard, and looked at him so that the guard took a step back in panic. He said in a deep voice, "I have been asking you to use your brain more... Under the cavalry, there are only nobles and no aristocratic families! If there is no aristocratic family, how can the Yang family survive? What's more..."

Yang Xiu seemed to be a little excited. After saying halfway, he stopped and sighed, "Forget it... Be careful on the way..."

The guard bowed his hand and then lowered his head and lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out.

...

...

Cao Cao was not satisfied with Yang Xiu.

The initial dissatisfaction was because Yang, as a middleman, earned the difference.

This was originally understandable. After all, as a businessman, making money is the first priority. But the key is that while Yang claimed that he was a family heir of scriptures, he was desperate to make money in Shandong. What is the difference between this and holding a bowl for dinner and putting down a bowl to curse?

More importantly, Yang tried to develop his own power!

Although it is understandable that Yang's move is a self-protection behavior, what is the difference between this and being separated from the supervision of the Han Dynasty? Oh, seeing Fei Qian can make Xijing, so Yang also wants to build a Zhongjing, right? But I don't think about all the foundations of Yang's family. All the profits come from, and there is no industry at all. I just want to step on the right foot, put the left pocket in the right pocket, add the left leverage and right leverage, and leverage a trillion-dollar market out of thin air?

Therefore, the smarter Yang Xiu was, the more Cao Cao felt that this person was useless.

Especially after Yang Xiu went to Pingyang, he realized that he seemed to have fulfilled Cao Cao's request and delivered a letter of war. However, in fact, Cao Cao didn't believe that Yang Xiu didn't know what Cao Cao wanted?!

Is Yang Xiu the only one who can serve as an envoy under Cao Cao's command?

Obviously not.

But Yang Xiu was obviously unable to complete Cao Cao's strategic arrangement, and even brought bad news returns.

This is almost equivalent to not only not only failing to get things done, but instead bringing a lot of shit back and letting the classmate Cao wipe it out.

Fortunately, Guo Jia blocked the gap in time and threw all the leaked shit on the Hedong gentry. Otherwise, when other people reacted, it would not lead to turmoil in the morale and more and more morale collapse.

Why did the gentry wear luxurious and gorgeous clothes just to cover up the stuff of shit on their bodies? If they wear short jackets that are the same as those of poor people and their legs are exposed outside, what kind of majesty can they have?

Moreover, for Cao Cao, Yang Xiu did not know everything and say everything.

At least, Yang Xiu didn't say the clothes he brought...

What Cao Cao cares about is not the clothes themselves, but the meaning it represents later.

Cao Cao didn't believe that Yang Xiu didn't know this.

When Yang Xiu reported before, he did not mention this matter at all. What does it mean?

In fact, Cao Cao could guess one or two.

Because of this kind of warm clothing mixed with fluff, it was sold to Shandong very early, and many Shandong gentry children fell in love with this kind of clothing...

Therefore, Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu to go over and deal with Fei Qian, and Fei Qian also used Yang Xiu to deal with him.

This is Fei Qian's counterattack against Cao Cao.

Who can't be separated?

It is not uncommon for Fei Qian to use the strategy of separation, but Yang Xiu hid it and ignored it...

Who are you looking down on?
