Chapter 416: Liu Tao's Exclusive Loyalty Measurement Method
Originally, he thought that Liu Tao was just crazy, but after the next day's expedition, Cao Cao seemed to realize a serious problem. That is, Liu Tao may not be crazy, but crazy!
Giving up the surrounding small counties and directly hitting the county magistrates of Hedong County, this is what a normal person can say?
It's not that you can't fight, it's just that you can gather 5,000 soldiers and horses, and then fight slowly, whether it's using the terrain to fight, or fighting head-on, at least there is hope of winning!
Three thousand, two thousand of whom were new recruits, slaughtered the county that was heavily defended by others. Besides, the surrounding counties, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are, if they come together, will they have to be left there?
"Meng De still doesn't seem to be able to accept it?" Liu Tao looked at Cao Cao all the way with a lot of worries, and seemed to be planning to persuade him several times, but finally endured it again, so he simply took the initiative to ask.
"The subordinates still think it's too reckless." Cao Cao had to put forward his opinion.
"I fought all the way, and to be honest, the strategy and tactics didn't use much, most of them were reckless. Recklessly killed the Yellow Turban thieves, recklessly killed Xianbei, recklessly killed the Xiliang rebels, and even recklessly killed the Southern Xiongnu. Liu Tao said with a smile.
Of course, it does not mean that there is no strategy, after all, the premise of recklessness is to have an absolute understanding of the enemy. Most of the time was spent on reconnaissance of enemy intelligence. And the most used are actually night raids and surprise attacks, and there is really no purely frontal situation.
But this doesn't affect him, show off in front of Cao Cao.
It's just obvious that Cao Cao can also feel that he is pretending to be forced, no, no, no, he doesn't believe that he is killed, Liu Tao has been safe and sound until now, and he has relied on his recklessness all the way.
You know, according to the battle report, the soldiers under his command did not suffer much. Frontal reckless, facing an enemy several times larger than himself, he can still achieve few casualties, who believes it, the better the generals who are good at fighting, the less they believe this kind of nonsense!
"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, I know you don't believe it. Liu Tao suddenly laughed, "Actually, I also have my own foundations, I believe Meng De should have heard of it, I am a disciple of the Immortal Family!" ”
Here it comes! Cao Cao actually came over this time, and there was another purpose, which was to inquire about the rumors of this immortal disciple.
Although there is a sentence in "The Book of Rites: The Mean" that "the country will die, there will be demons". However, how Emperor Guangwu made his fortune was less than two hundred years old, and there were still some rumors in the market.
In the battle of Kunyang, it was a meteor falling from the sky, or a storm from the sky, or the river swelling and crushing the enemy camp. For Emperor Guangwu's battle, he won more with less, adding a lot of supernatural colors.
Among them, what people are most concerned about is the identity of Liu Tao's Han clan. The matter of Emperor Guangwu is in the front, which makes people can't help but think of the battle of Kunyang. According to this logic, Liu Tao is almost equivalent to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
What really made him go north was Liu Tao's sentence in the letter, 'Sanxing Yanhan', and when he saw these four words, it seemed that everything was connected. At most, there is a little bit of Hanchen's plot in it. Liu Tao's 'General Zhengxi' just hit one of his few itches.
"I'm not afraid to tell you...... I do know how to spell! Liu Tao smiled, "Although I can't use it unlimitedly, I promise that I will do my best to protect every soldier under my command!" ”
Then he pointed to the front and said, "In addition, ten miles away, a cavalry of two thousand people is killing us!" ”
When Cao Cao and the others heard this, they immediately raised their heads and looked into the distance, but Liu Tao also said that for ten miles, nothing appeared on the horizon.
According to Liu Tao's current 'Wind Dragon's insight', it is estimated that he will not see anything. But he used a scroll, so let's say that there are too many things to see within a radius of fifty miles!
He was also preparing to arrive in Anyi, so he intervened to see the situation in advance, but he didn't expect to see the picture of a cavalry leaving the city and killing them.
Coincidental? Let's say this cavalry is just coming towards them. Maybe it's not a coincidence, after all, it's so obvious that they're going all the way west, and the defenders here aren't blind!
"Now, Mengde, I order!" Liu Tao slowed down, and then officially announced, "You two thousand foot soldiers, go to meet the enemy army of these two thousand!" Trust me, believe in yourself! Don't hesitate, hesitate and you will lose, rush forward, don't stop! ”
Cao Cao was silent, about three seconds, he was listening, the surroundings were quiet, but if you listened carefully, you would hear a slight vibration on the ground. It was a cavalry moving, and it was conceivable that what Liu Tao said was true, and two thousand cavalry were coming this way.
Why can Liu Tao see the enemy army that he didn't see himself? At this moment, Cao Cao already truly believed that Liu Tao was a disciple of the Immortal Family.
It's just that 2,000 have just formed an army, and many of them are foot soldiers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, can they deal with 2,000 cavalry?
"Charge with me!" Cao Cao immediately gave the order, and then took the lead in riding his horse forward to kill.
At this moment, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, and even Cao Hong, all wondered if Cao Cao was crazy at this moment.
After hesitating for less than a second, everyone immediately followed. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, followed Cao Cao to fight in the east and west. He always thought that Cao Cao was a very calm general, and he could see the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy very clearly, and then formulate plans according to this.
Now for the first time, seeing him so impulsively, it can even be described as taking the initiative to send him to death.
They looked at Liu Tao and didn't know why he deliberately let Cao Cao die, but the two of them were absolutely unwilling to see Cao Cao sacrifice, and the other also believed that since Cao Cao took the initiative to take the lead in the charge, he naturally had his thoughts.
Several generals led by him have already sent troops, and the rest are the clansmen of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, can they retreat? Eventually, everyone gritted their teeth and roared and rushed forward.
With a layer of invisible armor and two other strands of energy attached, Liu Tao smiled.
This is his exclusive means of measuring loyalty, and only the subordinates who really belong to him, that is, loyalty is definitely not pretended, and the magic he casts will be applied to them.
Of course, if Cao Cao really just pretended to take refuge in him, it didn't matter, he had already used a scroll to attach the 'Flame of Punishment' to this foot pawn. This thing scroll does a whopping 1,300 points, and when he casts it, it doesn't even exceed 900 points.
The most important thing is that if the scroll is not an army under his command, it seems that it will take effect.
No, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were far out of his sight, but they might still be able to successfully unleash the magic of the scroll in other places.
Therefore, the 'Flame of Punishment' will inevitably take effect, but the three spells of 'Heavenly Armor', 'Stone Skin', and 'Prayer' will not work. If you don't want to take refuge in him, then you will die with the enemy!
