Chapter 212 On the Military System

Cao Cao has something to say, and he has two things to say. Since he said that he would not punish Cao Ren, he would not really punish Cao Ren.

Cao Ren thought to himself, King Wei, please ask, don’t say there are a few questions, even if you have ten questions and hundreds of questions, I will return to it truthfully.

Cao Ren was loyal to Cao Cao, and he would not hide his problems from Cao Cao.

"Your question, King Wei, Cao Ren dared not hide anything at all." Cao Ren said respectfully to Cao Cao.

"Zixiao, why do you think our army has been defeated by Li Chen repeatedly?" Cao Cao asked Cao Ren.

Cao Ren has participated in these battles between Cao Cao and Li Chen, so Cao Ren can be said to be one of the most vocal people in this matter.

After Cao Ren pondered for a while, he spoke, "King of Wei, I think the biggest gap between us and Li Chen is the general."

"Take yesterday's Xia Zhending City, the white-robed general named Chen Qingzhi, who commanded the troops, was so amazing, and was completely leading my nose."

"There are also the powerful generals, the Yuwen Chengdu under Li Chen's command, and Pei Yuanqing. These two men are not as powerful as Lu Bu. In order to ambush Lu Bu, we had all the elite troops and borrowed the power of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, and then they killed Lu Bu."

"Now it seems that it is almost impossible for us to deal with Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing."

Cao Ren's words can be said to point out the problem. We cannot compare to the commander who commands the war, and we cannot compare to the powerful generals who charge forward. How can this be invincible?

Cao Ren's words were actually very pertinent. For example, the incident of Cao Ren's loss of Zhending City last night was because Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing led 500 elite soldiers to attack the city wall. If these two people hadn't caught Cao Ren off guard.

Cao Ren felt that if he defended head-on, there would be no problem with defending for one night.

The most difficult problem now is that there are no powerful generals in Cao's camp who can deal with Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing. You must know that the powerful generals like Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu may not last for a few rounds in the hands of Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing.

What Cao Ren said was exactly the pain in Cao Cao's heart. However, Cao Cao had no choice. Cao Cao also wanted to know where Li Chen drew out such powerful ministers and generals, and then he also drew. However, Li Chen could not tell Cao Cao about such a good thing.

"Why."

"There are few capable ministers and powerful generals in this world. If you want to find a powerful general who can deal with Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing, it depends on the opportunity." Cao Cao sighed and said.

Looking at Cao Cao's frowning look, Cao Ren suddenly thought of something in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

What Cao Ren wanted to talk about is about soldiers. Yesterday's battle made Cao Ren discover that it was not just a problem with generals. The soldiers of the Wei army also had big problems compared with the soldiers of the Qin army. However, Cao Cao had a military farming system from the beginning. If he wanted to change the military farming soldiers into professional soldiers, it would be not that easy.

Cao Ren and Cao Cao grew up together as a child. It can be said that as soon as Cao Ren sticks out his butt, Cao Cao knows what he wants to shit. Seeing that Cao Ren's face changed, Cao Cao knew what he wanted to say.

"Zixiao, what do you have to say?" Cao Cao asked straight to the point.

After Cao Ren hesitated for a moment, he spoke, "King of Wei, there is a saying I don't know whether it should be said or not."

"Children are filial. Although you and I are called kings and ministers, they are actually brothers. I am not only your lord, but also your brother."

"Zi Xiao, what do you mean? You can say nothing." Cao Cao said to Cao Ren sincerely.

Cao Renxin said, "The King of Wei treats me like this, what else can I do to hesitate about. If the military farming system is changed, it will only touch the interests of some people."

"King of Wei, there is a problem with our military system."

"Our army is a military farmer. He trains in his spare time and participates in farming when he is busy. He has very little training on weekdays. However, the Qin army is a professional soldier, which means that he does nothing but training all day long."

"In the past, our opponents were also military farm soldiers, so we were invincible. However, since we met Li Chen, we were defeated."

"The gap in this soldier can be said to be above the general. Normally, not only can a Qin army deal with two to three soldiers, the most important thing is will. The gap in fighting will is really big."

"After our casualties reaching 30%, the soldiers will no longer be willing to fight. After more than 50% of the casualties, they will basically be defeated. However, the Qin army is different. Even if the Qin army suffers more than 50%, their morale will still be high."

"Your Highness, I think that if we want to defeat Li Chen, we must first change the military farming soldiers to professional soldiers." Cao Ren confed all his thoughts like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Changing military troops to professional soldiers is not an easy decision for Cao Cao. Cao Cao is different from Li Chen. When Li Chen took over Xuzhou, it was equivalent to starting from scratch. Li Chen could make rules unscrupulously, but Cao Cao is different. Cao Cao has a larger territory and already has systematic rules.

If you want to change this rule now, you will first touch the interests of many people. If you really move, you will be afraid that Cao Cao will be hurt by his own muscles.

You should know that Cao Cao was in the mind of military farming soldiers. If these military farming soldiers were transformed into professional soldiers, then the first thing was the fertile fields that were reclaimed before. If these military farming soldiers were not responsible for planting, the biggest problem was the waste of fertile fields.

After the fertile land is abandoned, a series of problems will arise, and the biggest problem is the shortage of food. The military farm soldiers who were originally half-cultivated and half-war became professional soldiers, which means that the output of grain will decrease, but the number of people who eat grain will increase.

The reason why Li Chen dared to use professional soldiers in this era of low grain production was because he had two magical artifacts, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

At this time, if Cao Cao rashly used professional soldiers, then food would inevitably become a big problem. Military farm soldiers are self-sufficient and even richer soldiers, but professional soldiers are just gold-swalking beasts.

"Lord, it is not a good choice to change the military system rashly, and it will put huge pressure on our logistics."
