Chapter 142: The Underground Palace

"Huh? Yes, yes! The young general Cao Jun, who was despised by Xu Shu just now, trotted to Cao Zhen's mansion in Jiangxia and reported to Cao Zhen in detail what happened at the city gate just now.

"Is that boy very good-looking with a round face, big eyes, a high nose, and a long pink carved jade?" Cao Zhen's impression of our Young Master Zhuge is really not ordinarily profound!

"Huh? Well, the child was held in the arms of a big man with a black face, he was very good-looking, and he didn't look like a child of an ordinary merchant and a grass family, but like a noble son of a wealthy family. When the young general heard Cao Zhenyi, he really remembered it.

"Yes, that's right! Hahaha, Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Zhan, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and hell has no door to vote! I'm worried that I can't catch you, and you're sending it to the door by yourself! Cao Zhen felt excited. Then he said to the young general: "You are doing a good job, what is your name?" Any current positions? ”

"The last general, Cui Ping, is the current general guarding the south gate of Jiangxia!" The young general was excited, Cao Zhen asked him his name, this is the step to be promoted!

"Well, I think you're not bad, don't go to the gate in the future! Be a lieutenant in my guard! Cao Zhen said with a smile.

Although the gatekeeper general is called a general, he is not actually a general, at most he is just a squad leader! Moreover, in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which relied on military exploits to be promoted, there was basically no hope of promotion in second-line work like this guarding the city gate. This is not the same as being a captain of the guards under the head of Cao Cao's Yizi Black Panther Battalion under the head of Cao Cao's army, the black and purple General Cao Zhen. Cui Ping was excited, leaned over and bowed, "Thank you for the general's support!" ”

"Yes, good! Get up! Cao Zhen smiled and asked Cui Ping to get up.

"General Xie!"

"Cui Ping, this is your letter of appointment and my warrant! You immediately take my warrant to the camp in the eastern suburbs and hand it over to General Zhang Yan!" Remember, be sure to hand it over to General Zhang Yan yourself! Do you understand? Cao Zhen handed over a warrant that had just been written to Cui Ping.

"The last general understands!" Cui Ping took the warrant and turned to leave.

After Cao Zhenmu sent Cui Ping away, he slapped his palm three times in a row, "Someone!" ”

A man in black flashed out of the inner chamber and bowed, "Chief! ”

"Follow him!"

"No!" The man in black followed Cui Ping.

Cao Zhen sneered and turned into the inner room. The inner room is very spacious, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, this is where Cao Zhen reads on weekdays. Cao Zhen strode to the bookshelf on the left, on which was a small bronze incense burner. Cao Zhen clenched the incense burner with both hands, turned left three times, turned right three times, only heard a "click", and a small door actually opened on the wall on Cao Zhen's left hand. Cao Zhen turned sideways into the small door, and the small door closed immediately.

The small door is the entrance of a long secret passage, there is an oil lamp hanging at the entrance of the secret passage, Cao Zhen took off the oil lamp and lit it, the dark secret passage suddenly had a meager light, Cao Zhen relied on the oil lamp to illuminate, and walked to the depths of the secret passage. After walking a long distance, a granite stone door appeared at the end of the secret passage. Cao Zhen stepped forward and knocked lightly on the stone door three times, and in the sound of "creaking" and "creaking", the stone door slowly opened.

After the stone gate is opened, the scene inside can really be described as "there is no cave"! It's a huge underground palace! There are three steps and one cave and five steps and one cave inside, and the secret passages are criss-crossed, and there are a pair of guards standing guard at every distance in each secret passage. In the secret passages, people in all kinds of clothes come and go. Everything is like a huge machine, running in an orderly manner.

"Chief!" Dozens of shiny generals knelt in front of them. The first one has a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows, and looks a little familiar, take a closer look, damn it, isn't this Cao Yun who was trapped in the headquarters of the Fuxing Society with Cao Zhen! This guy and Cao Zhen were lucky to escape the pursuit of the Fuxing Society.

"Yes!" Cao Zhending nodded, "Yun'er, inform the deacons of all divisions, gather in the council hall, I have something important to announce!" ”

"No!" Cao Yun took the order and left.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the council hall. This is actually Cao Zhen's operational command room. But the most surprising thing is that there is a huge sand table in the center of Cao Zhen's meeting hall. In this day and age, the number of people who know this technique is still very limited. After all, this is the advanced technique that Young Master Zhuge brought from modern times. It stands to reason that Cao Zhen shouldn't know, but this is all thanks to the Cao Jun who was designed and captured by Zhuge and his son some time ago. This guy has been lurking beside Liu Bei for many years and has stolen a lot of secrets in Liu Bei's army. This is also one of the important reasons why Liu Bei and Cao Jun won less and lost more before the battle! This guy was inserted when Guo Jiana was in charge of the Black Panther Camp. This also reveals why Guo Jiana's movements against Cao Cao's opponents were so accurate, whether in modern times or in ancient times, access to information is the primary prerequisite for winning wars. Didn't Sun Tzu already put forward the incisive thesis of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent as early as 3,000 years ago"? In my opinion, this is actually emphasizing how important it is for both sides to have access to information in war!

Cao Zhen saw that the people were almost coming, walked down from the seat, and stopped in front of the sand table. "Ladies and gentlemen, since our army's southern expedition, the actions of our Black Panther Battalion have been frustrated many times! Many of my comrades have died in the line of duty! In this regard, I Cao is really responsible! It's me who I'm sorry everyone! Cao Zhen bowed deeply to everyone.

"Chief~" When everyone saw this, they all wanted to say words of consolation.

Cao Zhen waved his hand and stopped it! "But I recently discovered something very interesting! Although we have lost a lot of actions, it seems that every defeat is miraculously associated with a name. Do you know what the name of the Tao is? ”

"Huh?" As soon as Cao Zhen's words came out, everyone looked at each other and was puzzled.

"Didn't you notice?" Cao Zhen sneered, "It seems that you guys are really healed, and you forgot the pain when you have scars!" I forgot who beat him! ”

Everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Cao Zhen looked angry, "Since you don't remember, then let me tell you, this name is Zhuge Zhan!" Zhuge Zhan! Zhuge Zhan! Cao Zhen roared angrily.

"Chief, we've all remembered that! It was indeed this kid who sabotaged our actions a few times! "Finally, it dawned on one of the guys.

Then everyone suddenly realized that it was good! It seems that this is really the case!

Cao's heart is broken! If you are not afraid of opponents like tigers, you are afraid of teammates like pigs!

"Chief, this kid is always against us, we can't afford to ignore it any longer! Be him! A big black man suggested angrily.

"Yes~ Yes~ As long as you give an order, the leader, we will immediately go out to destroy that little bastard!" The crowd responded.

Cao Zhen saw that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and he was much more relieved, "No need! We don't need to go to him! He's got it! ”

"What? What~" As soon as Cao Zhen's words came out, it can be described as "one stone stirs up a thousand layers of Lang"! This girl is too bullying! We don't remember that we suffered such a big loss, you little rabbit cub took advantage of it and still held a grudge and hit the door! That's too much of a bully!

"Yes, Zhuge Zhan is in Jiangxia City now!"
