Without Xun Yu's words, from that day on, the air in the entire Xudu seemed to solidify. The soldiers carried out the final exercise and adjustment, and various military supplies were mobilized from various places to facilitate transportation to the front line as soon as possible.

The first batch of supplies began to transport to the front line, and the front line legions, due to the separation of military and political affairs, had been established. Only if the order to officially start the war arrived, each legion could send troops immediately. At least before the first batch of supplies in the rear arrived, it could conduct a one-month strong battle!

"I have to say that the military-political separation system you proposed was indeed very convenient!" Cao Cao had dinner, and due to the increased work, she had to stay and work overtime. In fact, it was not just her, but many yamen were like this.

"It is also an honor for my subordinates to be able to help the lord!" Wang Yong was not at all relaxed at this moment. As the head chef of the Central Army, he also had to deal with a lot of things. These days, a happy mood equals the strongest combat effectiveness. In the final analysis, he is to ensure that the marching rations are delicious and compressed biscuits are improved.

The old version has been transported to the front line, which can fully support a month of strong combat. The new version is in production, the problem is that there are still three days left before the war!

"I haven't been able to have afternoon tea for a while..." Cao Cao ate the supper in a few bites and then continued to work. In order to save time, supper is required to be streamlined and can quickly fill his stomach.

"You can bring some flower tea or something to the army, and at least ensure that the officers can drink it!" Wang Yong suggested.

"Starting today, we may not only have to fight against Lu Bu, but also beware of Yuan Shao's going south from the north. Not only that, Sun Ce from the south, no one knows whether he will go north. It will take at least a few months for me not to be in Xudu. There may be changes here at any time, so most of the fiscal revenue must be invested in military expenditure!" Cao Cao shook his head, "The entire army is probably going to be frugal..."

"Then I will use my private money to subsidize it a little, how about it?" Wang Yong came over.

"Haven't you invested your money in the construction of the fiefdom recently?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong with interest.

"It is said to be a fiefdom, not an independent kingdom. Because that mountain is my fiefdom, I went to some back door to pay in installments and temporarily occupied it. In order to buy that mountain area, the money I saved was surplus, and the remaining tribe members could build it themselves. Actually, I still have some spare money here." Wang Yong said with a smile.

"Since that's the case... I'm disrespectful." Cao Cao naturally accepted Wang Yong's kindness. Since afternoon tea or something can be maintained, don't treat yourself too badly.

"By the way!" Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, "Ling is almost three months pregnant, and her first child will have a strong reaction. Have you taken good care of her? This time you went to the army to fight, and she is responsible for staying behind. Although it has entered a stable period, I really don't want her to have something to do!"

"I have always paid attention to my diet, and Yin will stay and take care of her, and Yan will stay, so there is no big problem. Now I am worried about the palace, is it really good to let Jia Xu stay?" Wang Yong asked back.

"Jia Xu has always been low-key and does not interact with anyone. He is the best candidate for staying behind!" Cao Cao was quite at ease with Jia Xu. Apart from her, the other party did his job well. To be honest, if it were not for the separation of military and political affairs, there were already Sima Yi, Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Wang Yong in the army as the main strategists, and I guess she would have to be brought with me before I could feel at ease.

Of course, according to the position, Wang Yong is just a chef, so it would be fine if you have anything to talk about in private. Guo Jia is a military advisor and takes charge of the entire staff. Xu Shu and Sima Yi both joined the army, mainly to supplement or expand Guo Jia's plans. Of course, if there are better suggestions, they can naturally be put forward.

Cao Cao would never mind healthy competition, because the more competitive the more, the more efficient the staff team can perform and the more perfect the strategy. If the generals compete, the overall quality of the army may be improved, which also means that the strength of the court will become stronger as a whole!

"To be honest, I'm still a little worried..." Wang Yong said, "I was not with them before Yin and His Majesty gave birth. This time Ling was about to give birth, so I probably wouldn't be with me either."

"Who made you the marching chef? The separation of military and political affairs was also proposed by you. It is impossible to stay behind. As for compensation, wait until we return triumphantly, let's consider it carefully!" Cao Cao reminded.

"I know this very well." Wang Yong nodded, then packed up his things and said goodbye and left.

"Then I, too..." Cao Cao looked at the documents on the table, shook his head, and continued to bury his head.

Three days later, January was finally finished, and February came with it. To be precise, it was the second month of the lunar calendar, in other words, it was almost the beginning of March of the New Calendar. The weather began to warm up quickly, and spring plowing began.

Outside Xudu City, an army of 10,000 people gathered at this time.

After these two days of military expansion and training, the Yanzhou Legion had 30,000 combat soldiers and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers; the Yuzhou Legion had 20,000 combat soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers; the Yongzhou Legion had 10,000 combat soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers; the Yangzhou Legion had 10,000 combat soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers; the Central Legion had 10,000 combat soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers; at the same time, Nanyang and Luoyang each had 5,000 combat soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers!

The imperial court actually controlled 90,000 soldiers, 110,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 30,000 soldiers in military farming. However, these soldiers would not be used easily unless they had no choice. The main responsibility was to cultivate farming and they would also conduct certain training in daily life.

Gongsun Zan has officially joined the court and, in accordance with the edict, went to Yongzhou to serve as a partial general; Zhao Yun went to Yanzhou Legion, and at the same time surrendered to the court, there were Tian Yu and Tian Chou, one civil and one military officer. Tian Yu went to Yangzhou Legion to serve, while Tian Chou stayed in the Central Shaofu Office. This arrangement was nothing more than hoping that Tian Chou and Jia Xu, one civil and one military officer, would ensure the safety of the palace.

As for other talents that Wang Yong had originally expected, they either had fallen or did not exist at all.

"The world is peaceful, but why is there a thief Lu Bu, an official of the Han Dynasty..." Cao Cao looked at the 30,000 troops at the bottom of the tower, and reported Lu Bu's crimes in a scattered manner. After all, it was nothing more than the final mobilization.

At the bottom, the first one is Xu Chu's two thousand tiger guards, which is Cao Cao's personal guard. Then there are four generals, He Qi, Xu Sheng, Zhu Ling and Lu Qian. Their positions are actually some miscellaneous generals, and they are not even as good as an orthodox general. However, each of them controls an army of 20,000, which is actually the general.

The military supervision system began to become popular, and every year many civilian scholars entered the army to serve as military supervision. After publicity, the soldiers below naturally knew whose army they were and whose salary they were ate.

Not to mention these four people, even generals like Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren can still privately transform these troops into private armies. The entire court only retains three private armies, one is the Tiger Guard, the other is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and finally the Qingzhou soldiers.

"Everyone, follow me to go to the battle!" The mobilization was over, and Cao Cao waved his arm and announced his official expedition.
Chapter completed!
