Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2538
Do more things, will there be an extra reward?

Cao Shang didn't know it before, but he knows it now.He also suddenly understood why many people were unwilling to do more. He even clearly recalled the weird look that the military marquis had looked at him in the back camp last night.

Is that the look in the eyes of a fool?

Hehe, idiot.

I am indeed a fool.

Why did you rush out last night?Cao Shang asked himself.

Cao Shang lowered his head, and his heart kept sinking, because he found that Xia Houshang, who was so high above him, didn't seem to want Cao Shang to say anything, or ask him to do something...

Although Cao Shang didn't raise his head, he could somewhat see Xia Houshang's appearance from the corner of his eye.

Xia Houshang, who was wearing a bright armor, was indeed majestic.

The pieces of armor on the armor are very regular, even in the big tent, they seem to be able to shine.Carefully carved patterns flowed on the edge of the nail plate, as if the breath of glory was flowing.

Xia Houshang had a white face, a short beard, a slightly blessed appearance, and a slightly protruding belly, which couldn't be stretched even by armor belts, and bulged out in an arc.There are at least several jade buttons and gold buttons inlaid on the belt, and a multicolored silk sash hangs obliquely, and a sachet decorated with gold and silver threads hangs under the silk sash.

Even if he didn't say anything, Xia Houshang just sat there, and a sense of wealth and nobility rushed towards him, making people suffocated!

Xia Houshang raised his head high, his chin raised high.

He is also looking at Cao Shang.

In terms of appearance, although Cao Shang is not too ugly, his skin is dark, his hair is hardened, and there was some smoke and blood on his head and face that was not cleaned last night, so that he looks like a refugee.

In terms of meritorious deeds, Cao Shang is just a warrior. He fought for the first time, and with some bravery, he won a few Huqi. He didn't even have a few first-level merits.
If it is about talent, how much talent can a guy who has not read many scriptures and has seen no local legends have?
The more Xia Houshang looked at Cao Shang, the more bored he became.

If it wasn't because of the need for a confession... Bah, if it wasn't because Cao Shang's surname was Cao, Xia Houshang wouldn't even bother to meet him now!
It came last night, Cao Shang reported it, but Hu Qi was the only one? !
Actually, only Hu Qi? !
This is obviously a hussar side army!
If it's just Hu Qi, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go up and down the rear battalion, left and right, inside and outside, down to Qu Chang Junhou, up to Duwei and Xiaowei, and even brought himself, the rear camp leader? On the ground, let it be trampled on?

What an asshole!

Here, a certain number represents the Great Han Dynasty Hall, the military power of the Great Han Dynasty, and the majesty of the Xiahou family of the Cao family!

In the end, he didn't even fight Hu Qi?
Then it was such a small grain transport officer who maintained the order of the rear camp?

Is it funny?
ridiculous!

Ridiculous?
absurd!

"... Chili Gulu..." Some voices echoed in the big tent.

Xia Houshang closed his eyes slightly, suppressed his anger deep in his pupils, and then refocused his attention on the young general in front of him, his nephew Xia Houdao.

Xia Houdao was much more pleasing to the eye.Young, handsome, with a fair and clean face, full of vigor, with a straight waist and articulate, he is talking freely, "...the general is strategizing, even if he is disturbed, it's okay, mere bandits, how can they be shaken?"As the saying goes, the Liao River is cold while the Western Mountains are clear;Like a 騑 in the army, attacking a barbarian like waving his sleeves, driving away bandits and soldiers like turning your palms, and fighting in the north like exploring a bag.And the loyalty of the military academies, the presence of the halberds in person, and the return of the soldiers and civilians, to stay here and use their lives, why can't they make great achievements?What is Hu Man afraid of?It is the country's fortune to have the general here, and everyone to work together, this is the blessing of the great man...』

Xia Houshang nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Is this what people say?

To do things, you must first know how to be a person.Can't be human, can't do anything.

Hello, me, hello, everyone, is really good.He can't be a human being, and he can't talk about having both ability and political integrity!
Fighting and killing enemies is something everyone can do, but if you want to be a good person, manage good relationships, and deal with people around you, can you just kill people with knives and guns?To be a human is to weave yourself as a point into the web of up, down, left, and right, and become a part of this web. You must have a big picture, and patronize your own small calculations, how can you become a big weapon?

Now my nephew is obviously a little bit big!

Look, how well said, victory is everyone's, not just one's!
Last night's defeat, um, defeat, um, no matter what, the enemy retreated and the rear camp was saved. Is this the credit of one person?If there is no joint efforts of all the camp up and down, left and right, front and back, can the rear camp be kept?Looking back at the military report written by this bastard Cao Shang, what kind of bullshit is it?
Let’s not talk about literary talents, presumably those who come from Xiaojiazi can’t talk about literary talents, just looking at the content can make people pissed off!

What does it mean to be improperly arranged, causing many scattered farmers outside the camp to form riots under the attack of Hu Qi?That's called anticipating the enemy first!Arrange civilian husbands outside first to slow down the impact of local cavalry!Such an exquisite arrangement, turned out to be "improper"?What's "inappropriate" there?
Let's look at what it means to be ineffective in command, causing the soldiers in the rear battalion to be at a loss, and the chaos failed to form an array, so that the camp was attacked by Hu Qi?What can this be called poor command?This is obviously to invite the king into the urn and lure the enemy to go deep!Can the enemy cavalry be caught outside?Are you going to let it in and fight?Although it is true that there is a slight loss, the enemy also has losses, why not mention this, it is simply an asshole!
In the future, "slow response", "cavalry lost speed", etc., a series of nonsense words!

It's all nonsense created by breaking away from the masses, from the Xiahou family of Cao's family, from Prime Minister Cao, and from the Han Dynasty!

If it weren't for looking at...

Well, for the sake of his surname Cao, he was ordered to be pushed out of the gate and beheaded a long time ago!

Xia Houshang nodded in satisfaction, signaling Xia Houdao to back down.

"Where is the grain transport officer?" Xia Houshang raised his head and said in a deep voice, with his bulging belly pressed against the table, he was playing with a jade ring worth at least [-] yuan in his hand, turning it gently, as if he was holding the universe in his hand, with great momentum fill.

Cao Shang bowed his head, took a step forward, bowed down, and said, "The next official is here." 』

Xia Houshang squinted his eyes and asked: "A certain lord ordered the emperor's army to fight here to defeat the invading enemy... Let me ask you, who gave you the order and what did you do?"Um? 』

It doesn't matter what the truth is, because most people just need real fragrance.Therefore, those who dare to tell the truth often destroy the jobs of other people.

Xia Houshang decided that this was the last chance for Cao Shang.

It doesn't matter if you don't have literary talent, don't you have a model essay, have you already asked Xia Houdao to read it aloud, as much as you can say, it doesn't matter if you talk dryly, the important thing is that the direction must be correct.

If the direction is wrong and the steps are inconsistent, can they still be a family?
It's not a family, so do you still need to take care of it?

Xia Houshang almost made it clear that he is not representing himself now, he is representing the big man, Prime Minister Cao, and talking to Cao Shang on behalf of the military, a state violent institution!
Then I asked Cao Shang what position he stood on, and what did he represent?
For a while, inside the big tent, there was incomparable silence.

Cao Shang lowered his head, he looked at the ground.

The inside of the big tent is covered with a floor.

The floor is camphor wood planks.

Very wide, at least two 30 years old camphor wood.The wooden boards were also painted, even if they were stepped on under the feet, they were still shiny, and only some wood grains could be seen faintly.

This is a good thing. With such camphor wood spread on the ground, not to mention the bugs in the soil, mosquitoes will not come even in summer!Repelling insects from cold and heat has many advantages, but the only disadvantage is that it is expensive.

But expensive, for Xia Houshang, is not a disadvantage.

Only for Cao Shang, is it a shortcoming.

Although the same is "shang", but this "shang" is not the other "shang".

"Why don't you answer? Xia Houshang puffed his stomach, shook the wind and thunder, and pointed his finger at Cao Shang like a halberd, "Could it be that you despise the law of the military king?" 』

At this time, here, Xia Houshang represents the law of the army!

Cao Shang still lowered his head, the bone protruding from his neck, "Xiaguan..."

Cao Shang suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry and his breathing was a little uneven, and he even trembled a little because of this, as if he was afraid, but in fact he was angry.

He was angry with Xia Houshang, and also angry with Cao Shang himself.

"The lower official...failed...failed to understand...general, the general's subtle deployment, without authorization...to command the soldiers...combat, disrupted...the general's arrangement, the low official...the low official is guilty...guilty... ...'

Xia Houshang smiled, and continued to raise his head, revealing the Adam's apple on his white and tender neck.

Is this plausible?

Like human words.

Then it doesn't look too disgusting, more or less like a person.

To be a man!
Xia Houshang coughed slightly, as if he was clearing his throat and was about to make a judgment, but also as if he had given some secret signal for people to comprehend.

A military marquis next to him stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "General Mingjian, although the grain transport officer left his post without authorization, leapfrogged his command, and disobeyed military orders, it was after all a momentary desire and did not cause any serious harm... Please forgive me, General." Second-rate……"

Xia Houshang pondered, playing with the jade ring worth [-] yuan in his hand, as if he was playing with the whole universe.

This Marquis is the Marquis assigned to Cao Shang's two teams of soldiers.As long as Cao Shang is fine, then he is also fine, and Cao Shang is innocent, so his behavior of dividing troops is also innocent, and maybe he can still be meritorious!So others didn't stand up, he had to stand up first to support Cao Shang and give him an ass.

With this military marquis taking the lead to lubricate it, it will be much smoother in the future. One after another, someone stood up to support Cao Shang and put his anus on his back, saying that Cao Shang is still a good comrade. Occasionally, he made a small mistake, which is not a problem. After all, people are bound to make mistakes. Knowing mistakes can make a big difference. Cao Shang should be given a chance. Only in this way can he show the generosity of General Xia Houshang and his capacity as the commander-in-chief of an army!
Suddenly, inside the large tent, there was a scene of support and love.

Xia Houshang smiled in satisfaction.

Only in this way can we reflect the spirit of unity, unity and love!

This is the group that can overcome all difficulties and achieve all kinds of victories!

What are you afraid of in small setbacks?As long as we overcome this small setback, a broader future lies ahead!

"good. Xia Houshang nodded and smiled, "Since you all said so, it's hard for me to dismiss everyone's opinions!"Cao Ziyuan, get up... Let's make a note of this time, we need to reflect on it, do you know? 』

Cao Shang got up slowly, still lowered his head, "The lower official understands. 』

"Okay, step back.Come here, take your belt away and have a good rest..." Xia Houshang gave the guards around him a look, and ordered.

"Official...resignation..." Cao Shang stepped back, out of the corner of his eye, he could see people around him nodding and smiling kindly at him, and when he entered the tent just now, he seemed to be threatening to eat him alive The appearance is completely different, making one wonder whether the two worlds are confused.

Following Xia Houshang's guards out of the big tent, there was a little laughter behind him.There seemed to be some cheerful and joyful meaning in the laughter. Cao Shang knew which laughter was not necessarily laughing at him, but Cao Shang felt that the laughter was so harsh, and it also made his face flushed and his breathing a little bit Not very smooth.

Cao Shang followed the guards in a daze, arrived at the supply camp, and then took a good wash and bath under the guidance of another servant.

When the warm water washed away the dirt and blood between Cao Shang's fingers, Cao Shang felt that his soul seemed to be fading and flowing away with the dirt and blood, as if he had just taken off his body. Cicadas with a layered shell still feel the biting cold even in warm water.

Is this yourself?
Cao Shang felt ashamed.

Trembling with shame.

But what can he do?Argue on the spot?Directly point out the various problems of Xia Houshang, the various disadvantages of the entire rear camp?Then can he still live?If he can't survive, what will the old lady at home do?What will the wife and children do?
His mother was not from a high-ranking official, and his wife was not from a well-known family. The two of them worry about how to feed and clothe the whole family with limited money. , His mother picked and searched, wishing that a copper coin would be broken into two halves, and she hadn't changed into a decent outer skirt for many years. She always said that when people are old, what clothes do they need, as long as they can be worn.

His wife worked day and night.He has to go out to fight, and all the big and small things in the family, of course, fall on his wife. The elderly have to take care of, and the children have to take care of them. From morning to night, he is busy every day, like a spinning top being whipped by life. stop.

Do you have the right to stick to your own truth and leave everything else behind?Cao Shang knew that if he continued to stick to his previous opinions and rhetoric, what he would usher in would be death.

Yes, he saved a lot of people in the back camp, including civilian husbands and soldiers, some he knew and some he didn't know...

But what's the use?

These people have no mouth, no tongue, no voice.It's not these people who can make a sound. Maybe these people can see, but what's the use?

It's useless, like they might have expressed their gratitude to Cao Shang repeatedly last night, and even kowtowed to worship, but if they saw Cao Shang being dragged to the gate to beheaded today, who would stand up?

Will the folks stand up?
Will the pawns stand up?
who?

Can anyone?
Cao Shang knew this.

He knew it, as he knew himself too.His voice was too low, even in the back camp, it was easily covered, and then he could only hear the voices of others, and he could only shut up.

The hot soup gradually cooled down, just like Cao Shang's heart.

Cao Shang picked up some water that had cooled down, covered his face, then stood up, wiped the water casually, turned around the screen, and was about to put on his clothes again, when he looked up, he couldn't help being stunned a bit.

The blood-stained, dusty and various stained robes and leather armor that were hanging outside were gone, replaced by brand new fine linen robes, bright red cloaks, and exquisite inlaid armor. Even the pockets have been replaced with brand new ones...

Cao Shang was stunned, and after a while, he slowly stretched out his hand, took off his brand new robe and armor, and put it on.

The delicate sackcloth sticks to the skin, neither scratching nor stinging. It is as soft as a girl's skin, which seems to make every pore of Cao Shang laugh.Putting the lined battle armor on his body, it seemed as if he was isolated from the cold, and even seemed to dispel the cold accumulated in his body.

The inside of the pocket is also clean, there are no lice and black bugs crawling around, and there is no oil and mud that cannot be scraped off. The bottom is made of delicate flannelette, and the outside is brand-new cowhide, which is most suitable for this kind of weather. Wear it inside.

And the big red cape...

The belt, combat boots, and even the saber with some gaps were replaced with brand new ring-shoulders.

"Dangling..."

Cao Shang drew out his saber.

The cloud pattern of Bailian Dao faintly shows strength and beauty on the back of the sword.

This knife alone is worth all his previous equipment.

And now...

On the sharp blade that could illuminate people, Cao Shang saw his own face, which seemed to be distorted and deformed, which made his heart skip a beat, and then put the knife back into its sheath with a clatter.

After taking a breath, Cao Shang regained his composure, then walked out of the tent with his head down.

Outside the tent, there were already Xiahou's guards waiting. Seeing Cao Shang coming out, he didn't say much, even Cao Shang didn't even take a second look at Cao Shang's new clothes and armor, and said lightly, follow up, He led Cao Shang back into the camp, and after turning a few turns, he stood outside a tent, opened the curtain, and signaled Cao Shang to go in.

"Here, this is your tent... Take note of the location yourself, don't make a fool of yourself... If you have anything to do, tell the soldiers on duty outside... By the way," Xiahou guard took out a bullet in his arms The new waist card was thrown to Cao Shang, "This is from the general...the general has one more word..."

"..." Cao Shang looked down at his badge, "Please tell me..."

"The so-called clansman, there is a clan first, and then there are people..." Xiahou's guard stared at Cao Shang, "Can you understand? 』

Cao Shang nodded, "Understood. 』

"It's good to understand," Xiahou's guard turned around and said as he walked out, "By the way, you don't need to worry about your food delivery errand, now you are with us... Next time we have a chance to have a drink together... Take a rest Let’s order your dick tomorrow, and I’ll call you back when the time comes...』

Guard Xiahou waved his hand and left.

The footsteps went away.

On the waist card is a brand-new position, which is a team leader of the guard directly under General Xia Houshang.

After a while, Cao Shang slowly raised his head, but he heard the bones in his neck click.

Standing in a daze for a long time, Cao Shangfang felt the corners of his eyes were cold, but at some point, he shed tears...
