Chapter 35: The Black Pearl
The crowd quickly boarded the big ship in an orderly manner using eight small boats. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info wait for everyone to get on the boat. The boat immediately turned around and headed for the north shore of the Han River.
Cao De stood on the bow of the ship at the front. Behind them stood Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan. Cao De held the railing on the bow of the boat with one hand, and put the bow in his eyes with the other, looking at the vast river.
Suddenly, Cao De turned around. "Zixiao, I asked Miaocai to secretly train a group of special troops four months ago. In addition to me and Miaocai, you are the third one to know about this unit. Even Mr. Wenhe didn't know. I hope that from now on you will not tell anyone what you have seen and heard, not even Brother Mengde. ”
When Cao Ren heard this, he glanced at Xiahou Yuan in surprise. Immediately bowed down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I won't say it even if I die." ”
Cao De nodded and continued: "This army can't be called a force. Because they can be said to have no combat effectiveness, or they can be said to be a group of people with extremely strong combat effectiveness. These people will be our eyes and ears, and they will be the ones who can make us give us the right answer when we encounter a problem. The code name of this unit is Black Pearl. This flag is their flag. After Cao De finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the skull flag fluttering on the highest mast in the bow of the ship.
"Okay, Zixiao, you take a rest first. When you get to the Black Pearl camp, you'll be blown away. Miaocai, follow me. After Cao De finished speaking, he was the first to walk towards the cabin. After Xiahou Yuan patted Cao Ren's shoulder, he also followed Cao De's pace.
After Xiahou Yuan closed the hatch. Cao De lowered his voice and said, "Miaocai, how is the training in the past four months." ”
"Back to the lord. Training is going pretty well. There are a lot of people in this group, and they are growing fast. At most, it will be released in two or three months. Xiahou Yuan said confidently.
Cao De nodded and continued: "Have you found a talent that can be reused, after all, you should be a tiger general, not the leader of this group of unsightly." ”
Xiahou Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Cao De's future, as well as the future of the Han Dynasty, as early as when Cao De had just taken office as the Taishou of Hanzhong County, Jia Xu had already told Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan through special channels. In Jia Xu's notice, Jia Xu listed a series of reasons in detail, pointing out the signal that the Han will be disrupted. And after Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had a secret meeting, they were even more convinced of what Jia Xu said in his letter. As a result, after Cao De made many measures that were indeed rebellion in the eyes of normal people, he did not react much. It is precisely because I have the bottom in my heart. Plan ahead, prepare early. At the beginning, you have already pulled others out of the starting line for a certain distance, and the further back you go, the more difficult it is to catch up.
And when Xiahou Yuan was told that he wanted to help Cao De train a group of secret personnel, Xiahou Yuan was also very puzzled. Xiahou Yuan took a letter from Cao De and went all the way to the secret base. The earth saw those bases. When the local personnel opened Cao De's letter, Xiahou Yuan knew that this was to train a group of spy masters for Cao De. And this group of trainees is the orphans and those gangsters that Cao De collected along the way. As for the instructors, they were the Jiangyang thieves who were arrested when Cao De asked Xiahou Yuan to secretly follow Zhang Lu.
As the saying goes, it's easy to learn bad, but it's hard to learn well. Under the teaching of a few Jiangyang thieves, these children are all kinds of sneaky robbers and all kinds of dark tricks to learn quickly. The reason is that there are a lot of these things that can be ordered in those children. And most of them heard for the first time that some dark techniques would be taught, and for most of the children around ten years old, their interest was aroused at the first time. That's why I worked extra hard when I was studying.
As for Xiahou Yuan, when he learned through Jia Xu's notification that the Han Dynasty was about to be in chaos and Cao De must stand on his own. Xiahou Yuan gave birth to the desire to lead thousands of troops and horses, break through the enemy formation, conquer cities, and establish a career. And when Xiahou Yuan came to this secret base full of mood, he learned that this was just a group of secret saucers. Cao De suddenly felt that he had fallen from heaven to hell. First of all, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the identity of the fine work was not recognized. Everyone hates spies, and what spies do is done in secret, and even if they do great things, they still can't be known. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan felt that his sky was about to fall, but Xiahou Yuan did his best to secretly train this group of people for Cao De without complaint. But at this very moment. When Cao De told Xiahou Yuan that you should be a person who left a name on the battlefield, a general of the autumn soldiers on the battlefield, not the leader of a group of people who struggled in the dark, he could understand Xiahou Yuan's mood and estimated that he was the only one who could understand it.
Just as Cao De asked who could replace Xiahou Yuan to lead this group of dark soldiers, many images flashed in Xiahou Yuan's mind like an electric flash. Cao De saw the flicker in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, and knew that Xiahou Yuan's heart was thinking about things that he couldn't understand. Cao De waited for Xiahou Yuan for a while, and when he saw that Xiahou Yuan's eyes were no longer flickering, he knocked on the table and asked again: "Miaocai, can there be a candidate." ”
Xiahou Yuan immediately arched his hand and said: "There is indeed one person, this person was previously a green forest leader in Hanzhong County, and after I caught him, he has returned to his heart after enlightenment. This person was originally a gangster, and when he was chased by the officials and soldiers and had no way to escape, he pretended to be dead and escaped. Later, he hid in the mountains and forests and gathered some people who were also desperate, and began to rob their homes, gradually forming a climate. This person was caught by me in an accident. After being tortured, I did not do anything treacherous, and I was coerced and enticed before I subdued him. This person is very good at both the green forest and eavesdropping, and more importantly, this person is cohesive. It's a talent. ”
Cao De nodded: "Well, wait until you get to the camp." I'll see. I'll take a rest first, and you can go back first. ”
After Cao De waited for Xiahou Yuan to leave, he lay on the bed. Something kept coming to mind. It wasn't until the boat sailed to the north shore of the Han River that Cao De made up his mind. Got off the boat.
After Cao De disembarked, he ordered the guards to wait in place. Cao De only took Cao Ren and five guards and the men and horses brought by Xiahou Yuan to the mountains to the north.
After climbing over several mountains and wandering around the ravines several times, Cao De and his party finally turned the last bend of the mountain after three hours. Before the turn, in addition to the mountains in Cao De's eyes, there were trees, and after the turn, Cao De found that a huge camp was built in front of him. Cao De couldn't believe it and returned to the back of the mountain bend, and after confirming it again, he realized that it was not his delusion. A small detour can cause such concealment, and Cao De can't help but secretly applaud Xiahou Yuan's brilliance. Who would have thought that behind a small bend in the mountain there would be a huge camp.
The entire camp was built in the woods. The whole camp is perfectly integrated with the trees. If you look at it from above, those who don't know it think it's a village in a ravine. It wasn't until Cao De and the others approached that they realized that the guards here were not easy. There are stakes and sentries everywhere, and all the guards are paying the highest attention. No disturbance can escape the sight of these guards.
Cao De nodded again secretly. After several more confirmations, Cao De was able to enter the camp.
