Chapter 35: The Science of Speculation

As a crossing clan, if you don't have the opportunity to become a king or emperor, then the smartest way is to be a speculator when you travel the long river of history!

It's also opportunistic, but there is a lot of knowledge in it, first of all, you have to discern which one is the real king from the countless candidates, and secondly, you have to let the target person see the value of your ability. Know that a person's ability is always proportional to how much he is used!

Seeing that the 'famous master' worships indiscriminately, that is the behavior of a stupid man like Li Kui, so he has become an ordinary follower at most; and a really smart speculator, after choosing a target, must first show off his power and show his ability, and then show his sincerity and win trust with loyalty; if conditions permit, it is best to stage another escape drama in order to increase his worth, and a piece of 'Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin' is the most classic historical portrayal.

Escaping may not be a real escape, and chasing may not be a real chase, Han Xin got a worth, Liu Bang got a good general, and Xiao He got fame! That's all!

"The commander has an order, in the barracks, no gallop, dismount!" As the order was delivered, the camp gate was wide open, but as soon as Cao Cao entered, he immediately ushered in a dismount.

Two teams of majestic warriors in full armor lined up on both sides of the gate, each holding a bright and dangling steel knife in his hand, the steel knife intersected in the air, forming a long knife formation, leading to the position of the Chinese army's big tent, countless steel knives hung high above the head of the entrant, it seemed that there was a possibility of falling down at any time, and the murderous aura was pervasive, making people feel frightened!

It is forbidden to drive in the military camp, which was originally a military rule set since the time of Zhou Yafu, a general of the Western Han Dynasty, but with more than 200 years of peace, the military discipline of the Han army has long been abandoned, and now it has become a touchstone to test Cao Cao's courage.

If the king is there, then the minister, and conversely, the minister is also the king! To put it bluntly, in his heart, historical legends are not credible, historical books and works are not credible, and film and television works are not credible, what can make him really believe is only his own eyes, whether it is really 'a capable minister who governs the world, a traitor in troubled times', hehe! It's easy, just like fire refining real gold, just try it!

"Huh!" Looking at the murderous sword array in front of him, Cao Cao was not only not afraid, but as if he had encountered a very interesting thing, he immediately became interested, and strode into the barracks.

Walking with the knife, such as swimming in the flowers, talking and laughing freely, looking at thousands of troops and horses like grass mustard, looking at life and death seems to be a smooth road, and the posture of the traitor is fully revealed!

Compared with the whole view of the camp from the outside, there is a different scenery inside the camp, which is undoubtedly more delicate, deeper and more shocking to see here!

Neat and clean, this is Cao Cao's first impression of this barracks, compared with other dirty, poor, chaotic barracks, there is hardly any domestic garbage on the ground here, clean makes people think that they have come to the mansion of the princes and nobles, even the river water introduced into the barracks with a trench is also planned into different areas in sections, there are drinking water areas, there are bathing areas, there are drinking horse areas, there are ...... clear division of labor, and the health of the camp is maintained to the greatest extent.

Then there is the arrangement of tents, most of the camps of the Han army are like a Go board, pay attention to horizontal and vertical, neat and one, and the tents in the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Barracks are distributed in a wonderful curved shape, between the various departments, the rings are set together, and rely on each other, there is a way to enter and exit, there is a way to advance and retreat, which makes people look not only pleasing to the eye, but also very easy to give people a visual error, so that people can't count how many military tents there are here, and they can't judge how many soldiers are in the tent.

"Good! Control but not death, indulgence but not chaos! Cao Cao's evaluation of the commander of this military camp has invisibly risen by another level.

The big tent of the Chinese army, the soul of the first army!

Xiao Yi sat upright on the main seat of the Chinese army, the 'Cantine Pattern Cold Iron Armor' had already been draped neatly, the terrifying 'Chiyou Ghost Helmet' suppressed the flowing black hair, the Blood Wave Slashing Sword was held in his hand, and the greedy wolf sword was also obliquely inserted in his waist, and the full military uniform made him look more and more iron-blooded and cold, and a pair of black hole-like eyes shot out bursts of cold light from time to time, and the invisible murderous aura filled the entire big tent.

The murderous aura was pervasive, and even Cao Cao, who walked outside the tent, felt a chill, and reached out to touch his arms, where there was a warrant for the transfer of troops from the general He Jin, as well as a large number of rewards and promises to Xiao Yi, which was also the biggest hole card of Cao Cao's trip.

If Cao Cao was 100% sure before he came, then after seeing the deployment of the battalion, he was sure that there were only 70% left, and such a disciplined iron army was probably not bought by Lilu.

Taking a deep breath and stepping in, in addition to Xiao Yi, there were dozens of generals at all levels standing with the same armor and blades in their arms, looking at the strict posture of everyone, they knew that these people had been waiting here for a long time, and it was not because of Cao Cao's arrival that they temporarily put on the battle armor.

A pile of blazing bonfires on the ground made the sound of dry wood cracking from time to time, and under the light of the fire, the faces of the generals were clearly visible, or fierce, or cold, or hot, but no matter what kind of faces, everyone was not surprised by Cao Cao's arrival, let alone whispered or caused any commotion, they all stood faithfully at their posts, if it wasn't for the blinking of their eyes, they almost thought they were a group of wooden people.

"The general's golden armor doesn't take off at night, and the army marches in the middle of the night!" Cao Cao was shocked by this solemn military appearance, such an army, such a commander, could not be bought by high-ranking officials and Houlu, and a sense of respect rose leisurely in his heart. Compared with the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang are all native chickens and dogs!

Standing up, Xiao Yi led dozens of generals to Cao Cao, first struck his right hand on the chest with a military salute, and then said: "I don't know General Cao arrived late at night, I missed the welcome, and I atone for my sins in person!" ”

"Please atone for General Cao!" Dozens of generals behind him saluted at the same time and said.

Xiao Yi's move undoubtedly gave Cao Cao a lot of face, causing him to laugh, just like an old friend meeting, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and said cordially: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Xiao Lang's demeanor is better than before, it really surprises Cao!" After saying a pun, Cao Cao glanced at the soldiers around him again, and praised him sincerely: "Good soldiers!" ”

"Huh! General Cao praised it falsely and didn't dare to be! Please take a seat! ”

"Please!"

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ...... "The four eyes are facing each other, like a black hole facing the scorching sun, both are shining, radiant, both of them are looking up to the sky and laughing, everything is in the words, after giving each other a full score in their hearts, they walked into the big tent side by side, between smart people, there is a soul!

After entering the big tent and taking their seats, Cao Cao, who had been rushing all the way, behaved extremely calmly, and did not show any anxiety.

At this time, being calm means grasping the initiative!

………………………………………………

"I don't know what General Cao is doing when he enters my camp late at night?" Half a sound, Xiao Yi took the initiative to ask first. The sword array of the camp gate, the neat camp, and the soldiers in full uniform, through these three majestic styles, the next step is to show their sincerity, Cao Cao is the future Emperor Wu of Wei, which can be called the thickest thigh in the entire Three Kingdoms era, Xiao Yi has to hold it no matter what.

Holding it is equivalent to holding 30 years of glory and wealth!

"Huh!" Cao Cao did not answer, but first looked at the generals in the tent with his eyes, and then took out a warrant from his arms: "Under the general's warrant, convey confidential matters, and wait for the time being!" ”

shouted three times in a row, the generals did not move, just looked at it with blazing eyes, after this period of operation, Xiao Yi had already firmly controlled this Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and now, not to mention the order of the great general He Jin, even the emperor's holy decree could not command these thousands of soldiers.

The army listens to the orders of the commander, and does not listen to the edict of the Son of Heaven! Undoubtedly, this sentence was best executed by Xiao Yat.

"Stand down!" Cao Cao's face must be given, Xiao Yi broke off, and at the same time, his right hand imperceptibly typed a specific code word in the army, and in an instant, dozens of generals left cleanly, and only Cao and Xiao were left in the big military tent.

"There is no one else here, General Cao has any secret order, but it doesn't matter!"

"This ......," if Cao Cao was still seven points sure just now, then now after seeing Xiao Yi's absolute control over the army, he doesn't even have three points of confidence, and it may be difficult for the mighty army to succumb, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no retreat.

"On the order of the general, transfer your soldiers to immediately enter the city, surround the palace, and escort King Qin!" Gritting his teeth, Cao Cao still said the purpose of this trip, and at the same time solemnly handed over the warrant of the general He Jin to Xiao Yi.

Now all he pins on is Xiao Yi's reverence for the official position of a general, although this hope is not great.

Accepting He Jin's warrant, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, smiling like a spring breeze blowing willows, revealing two handsome and evil dimples, he didn't open them at all, but casually threw the warrant into the brazier on the side, watching the general He Jin's warrant turn into ashes in the flames, Cao Cao's face suddenly became like dead ashes......

"Is it going to be doomed tonight? ……”

But a dramatic scene happened suddenly, I saw Xiao Yi holding his left hand and right fist, bowing forward, and solemnly facing Cao Cao for the first time to perform the courtesy of his subordinates to his superiors, and then said loudly: "Xiao Yi respects General Cao's orders!" ”
