CHAPTER XVIII

Zhang Wei's mouth opened wide again, and he almost dislocated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Ang said proudly: "So the two of us are the chosen ones, you still don't believe it!" At that time, the immortals gave me a choice, there were four kinds of spells, the first was the mind-stirring technique, which could confuse the weak-willed; The second is the art of dreaming, which should be the kind you study. The third is healing, which can have the ability to cure diseases and save people; The fourth is alchemy, as the name suggests, I don't need to explain more! ”

Zhang Wei pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This immortal is still selfish, why let me teach myself, but give you such a detailed explanation?" It's really unfair! So what spell did you choose? ”

Cao Ang said: "I want to help my father dominate the world, so I naturally need to lobby some heroes to help, so I chose the heart technique!" But don't worry, I won't use it on you, this spell is very energy-consuming, and for someone with strong willpower like you, it's almost ineffective, not to mention that we are both sick and sympathetic, I don't need to do that! ”

Zhang Wei teased: "If you do that, I will beat you a hundred times in my dreams to get angry!" ”

Because of the distance between the sergeants, and the fact that they spoke softly, no one could hear their conversation under the cover of the crackling of burning wood, and even if anyone did, they would think that they were crazy, and they said so inexplicably.

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Since the immortal gave you four choices, why did you only choose one, and what would happen if you chose more?" What happens if you choose all four? ”

Cao Ang clapped his hands, stirred up some droplets, and said: "That's a good question, I also asked the immortal at the time, he told me that magic is easy to learn but not easy to master, why is there no one in the world who is the first in every field?" Because there is a specialization in the art industry, and life is too short to be comprehensive, if you force it to do so, you will definitely achieve nothing! ”

Zhang Wei nodded: "This is indeed the truth!"

"But..."Cao Ang deliberately betrayed a pass, causing Zhang Wei to pretend to be angry, and he said: "If someone can master all four spells, then he can peek into a big secret!" As for what this secret is, the immortals didn't say, but I think that since even the immortals say it's a big secret, it must be amazing! ”

Zhang Wei said helplessly: "Obviously saying that you can't learn together, and what happens after learning together, isn't this a contradiction?" Alas, now it's just an appetite to say that, I haven't seen an immortal for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be no time in the future, how can I have the opportunity to learn other spells! ”

In fact, if the two teach each other and learn from each other, they will naturally master two kinds of spells, but in Cao Ang's view, the unification of the world depends on the strength of the force, not the individual, so he is quite disdainful of the dream technique, but he favors the heart technique, let him and Zhang Wei learn from each other, undoubtedly to make a loss-making deal, because Zhang Wei does not mention it, he also cares about him.

The two of them soaked for a while to make sure that every part of their bodies was cleaned, and then they dried themselves and changed into new clothes.

Zhang Wei's blade was also inevitably boiled in boiling water for a long time, until it cooled, and then he got it in his hand, but the strange thing is that the blood ring, obviously it was boiled for far more time than the gentleman's sword, but it was still that kind of cold feeling, it seemed that the heat of boiling water was also absorbed by it, Zhang Wei put the blood ring into his arms, people who practice martial arts have always liked cheats and blades, and now the blood ring is one of the best magic weapons in the world, Zhang Wei is naturally itchy about it, but he has never had a chance, and when he returns to Chenliu, he will definitely study it well!

There was a rush of horses' hooves, and a small school rushed over, flew off the horse, knelt on one knee in front of Xiahoudun, and said, "Report to the general, there is an important military report!" As he spoke, he handed over a silk book with both hands.

Xiahoudun took it, waved away the little school, watched carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the two thick eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a strand.

After a while, another junior colonel rushed over, whispered something in Xiahoudun's ear, and then bowed back.

Xiahoudun's face became more solemn, he walked quickly to Cao Ang, and was about to say something in his ear, but was interrupted by the latter with a smile: "Brother Zhang Wei and I hit it off at first sight, and we are my father's distinguished guests, not outsiders, just say what Uncle Xiahou has to say directly!" ”

Xiahoudun glanced at Zhang Wei, and then hugged his fist to Cao Ang and said: "Eldest son, there is an important military situation, the lord led the whole army to support the state pastor in Xiaqiu, but it was a step too late, Xiaqiu was lost, and the lord encountered the vanguard of the Yellow Turban thieves in the east of Shouzhang, although the two sides won and lost each other, but there were many thieves, and the lord folded a few generals, and now although he confronted the two armies of the Yellow Turban thieves, it may not last long!" ”

Cao Ang's face sank, and he said: "If this is the case, we should order the soldiers and horses to gallop to help, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Yellow Turban Thieves have?" ”

Xiahoudun said: "This time the thieves are overwhelming, according to the report of the detectives, there are about one million thieves, and there are no less than 300,000 good fighters!" ”

Cao Ang naturally knew Cao Cao's family background, there were only more than 1,000 people who had been in battle for a long time, and the rest were all temporarily recruited village warriors, even if they were all counted as less than 5,000, this was a difference of 1 to 200 in numbers, even if all the soldiers of Cao Jun were one hundred, they were still twice as many as the strength in the end.

Seeing Cao Ang's solemn face, Xiahoudun paused, and said: "Now the Yellow Turban thieves have been divided into two routes, leaving 100,000 elites to confront the lord, so that 500,000 people are detouring into Dongjun, due to the large number of thieves, the transportation of grain and grass is not smooth, the thieves are marching and looting everywhere, although the speed of the march has been slowed down, but the forward will arrive in Puyang in about another month!" ”

"So fast?" Cao Ang frowned, "How many more people do we have guarding the city right now?" ”

"Counting the manpower brought by Zhang Gongzi, there are only less than five hundred people left in the entire Puyang, and Dongjun has been invaded, and everyone in the Hao clan is in danger, it is difficult for us to gather manpower for a while, even if some prisoner coolies are temporarily recruited, but the training time is still short, and the two armies are very easy to mutiny in front of the formation, so it is better not to recruit!" Xiahoudun looked straight at Cao Ang, just waiting for him to make some decisions.

Cao Ang pondered for a while, and said to Xiahoudun: "Please Uncle Xiahou go to reorganize the troops first, no matter what, this battle is unavoidable, we will gather in the council hall when we are in the council, and then discuss." Xiahou sighed, took the troops, and left the Drunken Immortal Building with neat footwork.

Cao Ang saw that Xiahoudun was gone, and hurriedly asked Zhang Wei: "Brother Zhang, according to the development of history, what should be done about this matter?" ”

Zhang Wei scratched his head and said: "This history is not recorded much, even if there is an estimate, it is a passing pass, I don't have any impression, I only know that Cao Cao's latest fierce battle should be the Battle of Guandu, but the difference in strength between the two sides in that battle is only four or five times, and it is the first time I have heard of a battle with a hundredfold gap like this..."
