Chapter 333

Because Lv Bu retreated too fast, all the princes rushed in with a large army of grain and grass for several days, and the rear army of the baggage didn't start until dawn. As a result, it has been almost two days since the army arrived in Luoyang, but the rear army's grain and grass haven't arrived. They thought there would be grain and grass in Luoyang, but they didn't expect that they would get a piece of white Luoyang. In addition, Cao Cao's reprimand made everyone feel embarrassed, so now the leader of Yuan Da League didn't hold any banquet. Now everyone stayed in their camp, waiting for the leader's follow-up arrangement, but their own army of grain and grass also sent people to urge them.

When he heard that Huangfu Chaobo was visiting, he brought people out to meet him. At the gate of the camp, Huangfu Chaobo saw that Kong was coming out with a large number of people. He thought he had something to do. He didn't expect that he was coming out to meet himself. He repeatedly said that he didn't dare. He went to Kong and saluted him respectfully and called his uncle. Then he said hello to the civil servants and military generals who came out one by one. Kongfu and his subordinates are very satisfied with Huangfu Chaobo's attitude. In fact, kongfu's idea is also a counselor's idea. It is used to test Huangfu Chaobo's attitude. When you see that Huangfu Chaobo is still treating himself as before, you will feel more and more good for him. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Kong Yu did not say any more. He brought Huangfu Chaobo back to his big account.

After they settled down in the big tent, Kong said, "how can I come to my tent when my nephew has just taken over Luoyang's government affairs?"

Huangfu Chaobo didn't say anything else. He went forward and told his intention. After hearing what Huangfu Chaobo had said, Kong Yu's eyes flashed a little light, but he soon covered it up. Huangfu Chaobo didn't find it, but he couldn't escape Lou GUI's observation behind Huangfu Chaobo. Seeing Kong GUI's expression, Lou GUI can't help sighing. He didn't expect that all this had been reported by Huangfu Chaobo. He meant that he wanted to retreat, not to mention other princes.

Just thinking about it, Kong said, "Oh, according to my nephew, is the leader of Yuan League ready to withdraw? Why haven't I heard from you yet? " Huangfu Chaobo knows how many kilos Kong's men have, so as soon as he hears Kong's words, Huangfu Chaobo responds that Kong also wants to withdraw. He says: "this is what my nephew speculated after discussing with Mr. Lou. There is no news from the leader of Yuan League. Even if there is any news, he should first inform his uncle and other adults, and then inform Chaobo. Please ask Lou about it Sir, explain one or two things for my uncle Then he nodded at Lou GUI.

Lou GUI comes forward and gives a salute to all of them. He tells them what Huangfu Chaobo has said to him and what he has speculated. While listening to Lou GUI's words, Huangfu Chaobo had time to observe the expressions of all the people. Looking at the two of them talking about the retreat, there was not much surprise on Kong's faces. Huangfu Chaobo was more sure that Kong and his subordinates wanted to fight. Although Kong Ying responded positively to Cao Cao's call, it did not mean that everyone was willing to fight Dong Zhuo with his soldiers. Sure enough, after Lou GUI finished speaking, Xu Jing, a subordinate of Kong Yu, stood up and said, "we also know what general Huangfu and Mr. Lou mean. Just now we were discussing this matter, but we haven't come up with a result. After listening to Mr. Lou's words, Jing can be sure that the leader of Yuan League and all the princes are willing to retreat. In this way, we should also be ready to retire. In order not to let people talk, we can wait and see what happens. Some of the vassals will definitely propose to withdraw their troops first, and then the Lord can secondment it. "

Several other counsellors also made suggestions to Kong, suggesting that he should be prepared to withdraw.

After listening to several people's words, Kong Yu, who had long been willing to retreat, finally made up his mind to prepare for the retreat. In fact, he just wanted to fight soy sauce when he first started the army. As a clean-cut person, he accepted Dong Zhuo's official position instead. But if he didn't show his superiority, he would be hard to say among scholars. Now I've got my own name, and I haven't hurt myself. I just lost some soldiers. I don't care about that. If I fight any more, Dong Zhuo will be forced to fight with everyone. It's not worth it. After all, I didn't know that I would stay in Luoyang for a few days. If I ran out of food and didn't have to retreat, all the soldiers would run away.

Thinking of this, Kong stood up and said, "well, since you all say so, our army will be ready to withdraw quietly. As for the matter that my nephew said, when the matter of withdrawing troops comes down, I will contact several princes. At that time, I will let you lead the troops together. However, my nephew still needs to prepare some things, and I will go to visit those princes with you at that time. "

Huangfu Chaobo nodded his promise. It's not difficult to give gifts. They are just BMW, wine, tea and treasures. Huangfu Chaobo is going to contact Jia Jing and ask him to arrange for the players to send a batch first. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly remembered what he had found in these battles. Although the cost of the guard level soldiers was nearly one to two times higher than that of the intermediate and senior level soldiers, the loss in the battle was more than half lower. Especially when the Xiliang iron cavalry in Huangfu Chaobo's hands still had no command, they had no cavalry skills Can't play, relative to the intermediate army, the war damage ratio is almost 1:10.Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo told Kong that he wanted to recruit about 20000 guards in Runan. Kong agreed without thinking. For recruitment at the present stage, it only needs that the total number of troops does not exceed 10% of the total population. For each additional number of troops, the number of urban public security points will decrease by a certain amount. For a big state like Yuzhou, recruiting tens of thousands more soldiers has no effect at all, and the number of ordinary people under its rule will not change. Therefore, Kong Chu readily issued a warrant to Huangfu Chaobo to arrange for people to go to the barracks in Runan to recruit soldiers. Not only that, he also saved 4% of the tax except 1% of the court's expenses.

After giving the recruitment warrant to Huangfu Chaobo, Kong Chu thought about it and gave him the warrant of 200000 yuan for each of the money and food he had promised to Huangfu Chaobo at the banquet. Since he went to Runan to recruit soldiers, he should bring them back by the way. According to Huangfu Chaobo's idea, there are 20000 guards, 5000 cavalry, 5000 long bow, 5000 sword shield and 5000 long spear soldiers. According to the current cost of recruitment, it will cost him nearly 900000 Guan. Don't underestimate this 4%, which means nearly 40000 Guan.
