    It wasn't until he received Cao Song's order that Cao Ren believed his ears. It turned out that what Cao Ang said just now was true. He, a prodigal, could actually become the leader of an army, even though the army was composed of servants, guards, and soldiers.  A miscellaneous army composed of young and strong tenants, but this is the leader of an army after all.

    Cao Ren bowed respectfully three times to Cao Song's residence, and then said to Cao Ang: "My family has always regarded me as a prodigal. This time the patriarch can appoint me as the commander-in-chief. It must be you, Zixiu, who can replace me in front of his old man."  He said a lot of nice things. I will never let you down!"

    Cao Ang nodded solemnly and said loudly: "Han Xin was also a prodigal in the past, but he was able to lead an army to defeat Xiang Yu's cavalry, and finally assisted the great ancestor to achieve great achievements! To outsiders, my uncle seems to be unruly, but in my opinion, this is the true nature of a knight.  , if this attack on Heifeng Stronghold is left to others, my grandfather and I will definitely not be at ease; only if it is left to you, we can rest assured! Uncle, I hope you can show outsiders with your actions that our Cao family is not easy to bully!  "

    Cao Ren nodded and patted Cao Ang heavily on the shoulder, "Nephew, don't worry!"

    Cao Ren made up his mind to overcome all difficulties and once again establish the prestige of the Cao family!  The belief in his heart was very firm, and the strength in his hands was also very strong, so Cao Ang was slapped to the ground by him and shouted helplessly: "Uncle, you bully a child!"

    Early the next morning, the Cao family performed martial arts.  Cao Ren stood in the middle of the hall and said loudly: "I issued an order last night, and the roll call will be called here at 9 o'clock this morning. It is already 3:30 pm, we can't wait any longer, and the roll call will be called immediately!"

    After hearing his order, Cao Ang immediately accepted the order loudly, took out the roster and shouted: "Old Zhao!"

    "arrive!"

    "Cao Duan!"

    "arrive!"

    ¡­¡­

    In less than a cup of tea, Cao Ang had already finished the roll call. He turned around, faced Cao Ren, and shouted loudly: "General, the roll call should have been 217 people, but it turned out to be 174."  A total of forty-three people are absent!¡±

    Cao Ren frowned and said loudly to everyone: "Military orders are like mountains, and it is basic common sense to follow them and prohibit them! If you can't even do this, what's the use of them! Let's just wait for them to come over today. I want to take a look.  How do they explain it!"

    Cao Ren ordered his people to draw a line outside the crowd, and Cao Ang sent more than ten servants holding big sticks to wait outside the line.  Then Cao Ren ordered the remaining servants to freely form groups of ten and select their own talents.

    Hearing Cao Ren¡¯s order, the servants felt that this was an excellent opportunity to show their faces and recommended themselves one after another.  Especially after repelling the bandits' attack some time ago, the small officers who were temporarily appointed at that time received extra rewards. With this precedent, everyone will of course campaign carefully.

    Moreover, Cao Ang added on the side: The selected commander is to lead everyone to fight the bandits. His ability is directly related to everyone's profits and also to everyone's life and death. You must not look at favors or faces. You must  Select those with real talents and practical skills!

    ¡°Obviously, everyone listened to Cao Ang¡¯s words. Several servants who had a wide range of contacts and average abilities were not elected. Almost all the people chosen were outstanding individuals who had a certain prestige and ability.

    After the seventeen chiefs were selected, Cao Ren immediately ordered them to take a few steps forward and line up individually, and then ordered Lao Zhao to distribute the Huanshou Sword to them.

    These ring-handled knives are not ordinary items that can be sharpened after a few cuts, but are excellent ordnance carefully selected by quartermasters from the army. Of course, after charging a certain handling fee and loss fee,  These Huanshou knives were shipped out by the quartermasters who cleverly made accounts and were quietly sold to the Cao family.

    After getting the Huanshou knife, everyone excitedly pulled out the knife and looked at it carefully.  The servants and nurses who were selected for the selection also looked at them with envy, because they only had the whistle sticks they used for patrolling.

    Cao Ren did not disturb everyone's comments. On the contrary, he hoped to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.  Last night, Cao Ren and Cao Ang discussed for a long time before deciding on the plan for today's election. It seems that the effect is really good.

    After waiting for a while, the late servants arrived one after another. Cao Renqu did not let them enter the queue, but waited outside the line.  I heard Cao Ren say loudly: "The seventeen of you should go to the hall first, introduce each other, and select three people. These three people will assist me and Zixiu to manage the entire army. After the Black Wind Stronghold is destroyed,  These three people will also be promoted to stewards of the outer courtyard, and can at least manage a farm!"

    Hearing Cao Ren¡¯s shouts, the eyes of the seventeen people turned red. It¡¯s okay if you can be a head higher than others, and you can still be the leader of the outer court afterwards.??Steward, this is a huge job!  It's not like they don't know that the stewards in charge of the farm are well-paid and have a very generous net worth. Among other things, each of them doesn't have two or three concubines, so they are too embarrassed to go out to meet people!  And in the eyes of the tenants, he was the local emperor, a big shot from all over the country!

    Seeing the expressions of everyone, Cao Ren said with a smile: "You go to the hall and have a good test. Except that you are not allowed to use weapons, the rest is free. Anyway, we have to choose three of you, and we won't care."

    After saying these words, Cao Ren and Cao Ang walked out with a smile. Immediately afterwards, the hall became a mess, and many impatient people even raised their fists

    Cao Ang did not look back. He and Cao Ren walked to the sideline with smiles and looked at the dozens of servants arriving in pieces.

    Cao Ren frowned and said in a deep voice: "I told you many times before dinner last night, why are you still late? Tell me, what are your reasons?!"

    A dozen servants immediately complained, saying that they had just finished the night shift and were very tired. Their upper and lower eyelids were beating back and forth. How could they still have some energy?  !

    There were more than ten people shouting in confusion: "Cao Ren, I really thought you were a general. Why are you so strict? The patriarch asked you to lead everyone, but Cao Ang gave you a chance to show your face. Do you really think you are capable?"  So strong!¡±

    Cao Ang said loudly: "Wrong! If I had such great power and could recommend anyone successfully, I would have become the leader of the clan long ago. It was obviously my grandfather who valued Cao Ren's ability and entrusted him with important tasks. Even if I am the starting point, I can only play a small role."  It¡¯s just a recommendation!¡±

    With Cao Ang publicly expressing his belief in Cao Ren's abilities, the number of doubts suddenly decreased.  However, there were still some people who were covetous of Cao Ren's opportunity, and with the attitude of sour grapes, they criticized the army and loudly questioned Cao Ren's ability.

    The more Cao Ren listened, the more he frowned. He suddenly raised his right hand and hit it hard on the plum blossom pile next to the hall.  There was a muffled sound, and the plum blossom pile was struck by Cao Ren's palm and sank a little further!

    "Everyone was dumbfounded. When the plum blossom pile was erected, everyone had seen it with their own eyes. They all used sledgehammers to smash it down until they could no longer be smashed.  How come Cao Ren is so strong? If he hits someone on the head, he must not smash the head into the chest!

    Seeing that everyone was shocked by his palm, Cao Ren pretended that nothing was wrong, put his sore right hand behind his back, and said loudly: "Since my grandfather agreed to let me form an army to conquer Heifeng Stronghold, then I, Cao Ren  You have to be responsible for him and our Cao family! As long as you are under my command, you must not think about being free and loose. You must strictly demand yourself according to the military discipline of the army! If you are in the army, those who fail to be called by the general will be killed, and those who are late will be killed.  Punishment, and those who fail to do so will be killed! This is our first roll call today, so be more lenient!"

    When Cao Ren said this, he saw that the latecomers were all silent, nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Now I appoint Cao Ang to serve as the sacrificial wine for our Cao family army and supervise military discipline!"

    Cao Ang took a big step forward, saluted Cao Ren, and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

    Turning around, Cao Ang pressed the hilt of his sword and shouted loudly: "Anyone who is late for the night shift will be given ten sticks!"

    Hearing his order, the dozen or so guards who had just been selected immediately stepped forward. Two of them held down one of them, while the other picked up a big stick and hit him with all his strength!

    Because the execution was to be carried out immediately in front of everyone, no one dared to bend the law for personal gain. They all used up their strength, swung the stick with all their strength, and smashed it with all their strength!

    Some servants are very strong-willed and clenched their teeth without making a sound; but some people can't bear the pain and can't help but scream loudly: "Ah!!! It hurts me so much!"

    When the people who were arguing in the hall heard the screams, they quickly lowered their voices. Even if there was a fight, they did not dare to shout and curse any more, and the winner was quickly determined.

    As for the servants watching the excitement outside the hall, in addition to secretly glad that they were not late, they also felt the binding force of military discipline for the first time.

    ¡°Bang bang bang bang bang¡­!¡±

    Soon, the ten sticks were beaten.  Cao Ang said loudly: "A man sweats but doesn't shed tears, but it's just ten sticks. Some of you actually screamed, which really made everyone laugh. Let's do this. Everyone who doesn't cry out in pain will be given a reward and distributed.  Get a portion of the golden sore medicine! Anyone who complains of pain can go get an ordinary medicine later, and the cost of the medicine will be deducted from the monthly bill!"

    Cao Ang¡¯s treatment was fairly fair, and everyone thought it was very reasonable.  At this time, Cao Ren said loudly: "Zixiu's treatment is right. Those who are late without justifiable reasons will be given twenty sticks each!"

    Seeing Cao Ang nod, the servants who had just appeared as military police pushed the remaining people to the ground and started beating them with sticks.

    ?This time, everyone learned the lesson from the last time, gritted their teeth, grabbed the sand under their feet, and basically didn't say a word.

    Cao Ang nodded slightly and said loudly: "This is a man of my Cao family. Everyone should distribute a good golden sore medicine and apply it on each other, so as not to affect the battle later. The punishment for being late ends here.  , as long as you fight bravely, I promise to treat everyone equally in the future!"
