Chapter Twenty-Five: Defection, Dian Wei, and Pre-Qin Prescriptions!
'Bang la la'
When Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao returned to the camp, they prepared more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.
This is already Cao Cao's collection in the past month, while dying in battle, all the rest.
Cao Cao looked around and saw that there were still many injured soldiers among the thousand, and he also sighed, feeling that this time he fought against Dong, it seemed that he was the one who made the most money, and he was the one who suffered the most.
"Mengde, lamenting impermanence, it's better to think about how to arrange it in the future." Zhao Zhou saw that Cao Cao was a little depressed, but he was also relieved, and then rode his horse and left the camp first.
"Brother, what the gentleman said is very true!" Cao Ren beside him was angry, and he also said to Cao Cao, Xiahoudun and others: "Go back to Chenliu this time, we have such a high reputation, we have the heart of my brother's loyalty, and I have Mr. Unparalleled in the world!" It must be the Quartet to worship, and heroes from all over the world gather! ”
"Yes, it's my son-in-law." Cao Cao's words fell, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he also rode a horse and caught up with Zhao Zhou.
Xiahoudun and the others smiled when they saw it, commanded the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses followed.
And Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao rode out of the camp, chatting without a word, after walking out of three or two miles, they came to a mountain forest aisle outside the camp, but saw more than a dozen people wearing military armor, or soldiers who were in a hurry to come here and had not yet put on their armor, standing in the middle of the road in thin cloth clothes in the cold weather, blocking the road tightly.
"General Cao, General Zhao!"
The first one, dressed in general armor, looked like a general and captain, but in fact he was only a team of fifty people, but with the war, he now has no more than one tent of people, less than twenty.
At this time, when he saw Zhao Zhou and others coming, he led his men behind him to bow down and shouted: "I heard that General Cao is benevolent and righteous, and General Zhao is brave and brave to conquer the world!" Seeing General Cao leaving, he hurried back and forth, if the general does not dislike it, please accept me and wait! ”
As he spoke, he raised his head again, looked at the row of kneeling soldiers behind him and sighed: "These brothers are all sincere to follow General Zhao and General Cao, and they went out of Zhang Miao's camp with the villain tonight...."
Zhang Miao was also one of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, but unfortunately he was too arrogant and conceited, and often confronted Yuan Shao, which led to his commanders, team leaders, and captains, and generals were all having a hard time in the general alliance, and were often vaguely forced to the front of the battle, resulting in heavy losses of soldiers and horses.
But Zhang Miao didn't go into battle, he didn't care about this, but thought that Yuan Shao gave him the credit, and then exchanged his men's desperate battles for his own prestige.
This team leader also saw it thoroughly, and then made a decision immediately, directly with his trusted subordinates, left Zhang Miao's camp overnight, and came to Cao Cao, hoping to have a place to settle down.
What's more, Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao's prestige is incomparable for a while, they think about it, and they think that the most suitable is Cao Cao's side, even if they die in battle, it is better than being loyal to a selfish master.
"I hope that General Cao and General Zhao will accept me and others!"
The soldiers behind him were sincere in their words, and they bowed down when they fell.
"Good! Hurry up, get up, you are all heroes and heroes, and it is a blessing for me Cao Cao to be able to follow my Cao Cao! ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed, although he saw that these numbers were very small, he also saw the signs of his and Zhao Zhou's prestige, otherwise they would not have abandoned Zhang Miao and came to join him.
And Zhang Miao is also a friend of Cao Cao, Cao Cao knows his personality well, and he is not afraid of him at all, let alone accept his soldiers.
"Zhang Miao is arrogant and inactive, but he is so happy. Not to mention that one person defected, even if he came to vote, he would have a good face, and he would not ask about the crime and the camp and household, let alone spread the rumors that his soldiers and horses were lost. Especially now that he has consumed too many soldiers and horses, this is only for me and Sun Jian, and he will not offend Mr. and me because of this trivial matter of a dozen people..."
Cao Cao whispered to Zhao Zhou, and hurriedly dismounted with Zhao Zhou to help everyone up, and asked Xiahoudun and others who came behind him to take some clothes from the baggage in the army, and distribute them to these soldiers who were shivering in the cold weather.
"Thank you, General Zhao, General Cao!"
The soldiers drank gratefully, and while taking the armor gratefully, they also announced their names separately.
"The villain's name is Sun Si, a person from Youzhou...."The team was the first to speak, a name that they had never heard of.
In Zhao Zhou's opinion, his martial arts are also mediocre, just an ordinary team leader.
But it always belongs to the first people who came to defect.
Cao Cao treated him politely, let him enter his own team first, or be the leader of the original military team, and wait until he returned to Chenliu to add some men and horses for him to complete the queue. It's also for this team leader to have some of his own people next to him, lest there be changes.
And Zhao Zhou didn't say much, let alone care about Cao Cao's thoughts, but looked at a soldier behind the team.
"Thank you, General!"
After this soldier stood up after bowing his head now, he was always more than 1.9 meters tall, and he was wearing an ill-fitting armor, which was not given by Cao Cao, but distributed to him by the team since he joined Zhang Miao's battalion.
It's just that the armor equipped by the soldiers is like a 'standard production line', and there are only a few kinds of specifications and styles.
Among them, the widest armor style, about one meter eight or so of armor was worn on him, and it was a little small, and the armor was rounded, and he himself used a kind of beast tendon to wrap it so that it did not collapse.
But these big tendons are worn and tied in the armor, which also makes this soldier very 'fat'.
However, in Zhao Zhou's opinion, this soldier is too strong!
Because, his palms, neck, and face are all muscles! There are no ribs, some are square, they look a little hideous, and they are a little unsightly.
"Who is this person? Those big tendons seem to be the big tendons of tigers and leopards...."Zhao Zhou glanced at him, and then looked at the end of one of the big tendons that he exposed his armor, a little curious, waiting for his turn to report his name and join the team.
It didn't take a few breaths.
After the soldiers in front of him finished reporting, it was also his turn.
"The villain.... Dian Wei, there are no words...."
The soldier stammered a little, and seemed to rarely communicate with people.
Because Dian Wei once killed people, he avoided trouble in the deep mountains and old forests, surrounded by wild beasts and jackals, and no one chatted with him, and over time, he didn't like to talk.
Those big tendons were indeed hunted by him, and they were usually used to tie up prey, and they were used by him as a convenient rope to carry around.
And after Dian Wei finished reporting his name at this time, he also scratched his head at Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao, who were looking at him, and the appearance on his face was also a little wooden, but with the muscles on his face full of horizontal stripes and an expressionless look, it was a little infiltrating in the night.
"This person looks a little ugly...."Xiahoudun and other generals behind Cao Cao and Zhao Zhou, seeing Dian Wei's infiltrating appearance at this time, they were also a little disdainful.
After all, it is among the Three Kingdoms, and it seems that all the generals are handsome and extraordinary, or have a superb temperament, and Dian Wei, who looks so strange, can be called the only one.
It is said that such a strange appearance will also attract attention.
It's just that Dian Wei is wearing armor that is too small, it doesn't fit, it doesn't look burly, but it looks bloated. The large tendons exposed at the armor can also be bought, and they didn't pay much attention to them.
In addition, Dian Wei is not famous at all now, he is just a small soldier, and his martial arts have not yet been shown.
Now that the soldiers meet, the first impression must be what it looks like.
It doesn't look good, and it is inevitable that there will be some good reviews.
"Although this person's figure seems to be burly, his words are a little lacking in confidence." Dian Wei, who rarely communicates with others, stammers when he speaks, and is also mistaken by Xiahoudun and others as 'lack of confidence', but it is a pity that he has a good physique.
But Cao Cao still treated him politely, let him be divided into his own army, and followed his original team rate, without special care or neglect.
But in fact, Cao Cao, who was already concerned about his appearance, also looked down on Dian Wei's appearance.
"Seeing this person, it's like seeing me Cao Cao."
Cao Cao laughed at himself in his heart, saw that everyone had returned to the team, and then bowed his hand to Zhao Zhou, and set off with soldiers and horses.
"Dian Wei...."And Zhao Zhou saw Dian Wei's name for a moment, and then looked at Dian Wei, who was running into the team at this time, and didn't say much, ready to leave here, and then introduce it to Cao Cao on the way back to Chen Liu, and give him a surprise.
It's also stop-and-go along the way.
After working hard tonight, the soldiers hurried all the way, and at midnight, they rushed to camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
Following.
The army prepared some dry food for the way back to Chenliu, and set off at noon, another day's journey.
But.
When it was almost evening, Zhao Zhou immediately practiced boxing and kept his body from the bumps of the horse. While I was tired from practicing, I had nothing to do, and during the rest time when the soldiers were eating dry food, I also inspected the team intentionally or unintentionally, passing by Dian Wei's side.
"General Zhao!"
"General Zhao!"
With a shout, the soldiers who saw Zhao Zhou patrolling all put down the dry food in their hands and hurriedly saluted, looking at Zhao Zhou with a look of admiration.
Zhao Zhou also returned the salute on horseback, looking approachable, and motioned for the soldiers to continue eating.
Subsequently, he came to Dian Wei's side in the eyes of the soldiers with more and more respect and admiration, and found that Dian Wei did not seem to be treated by this team leader and his previous companions, and he ate alone in a shady place under a tree, without any companions around him.
This is also because Dian Wei looks too hideous, and the muscles on his face tense together when eating, like a beast eating.
Ordinary people have numb scalps when they see it, and they really can't eat blindly.
It is also that Dian Wei does not like to be in the limelight, and when he fights against Dong Zhuo's army, he rarely rushes to the front and fights the enemy, otherwise his companions have already regarded him as a protector, how can they dislike him.
Even on this day, the soldiers were in a hurry to chat and relax their minds, but Dian Wei was in a hurry, silent, and rarely chatted with the soldiers next to him.
However, as the team marched, even if Dian Wei was walking with his head down, he could still see the back of his head from a little farther away.
"General Zhao!"
At this time, Zhao Zhou dismounted and came to the big tree, and in the greetings of the soldiers next to him, he saw that Dian Wei was drinking water to pad his hunger after eating a small dry biscuit, so he asked: "Dian Wei, can you eat enough?"
"General Zhao.... Yes.... I'll be fed...."
When Dian Wei saw Zhao Zhou coming here, he didn't care about his appearance, but knew the name of a little soldier himself, and after taking care of him like this, he was excited, and hurriedly put down the water bladder, wanting to make a big gift.
"No need to be polite." Zhao Zhou stepped forward, wanting to hold his arm and prevent him from bowing down, but in fact, Zhao Zhou wanted to test how strong he was.
'Click' sounded softly, Dian Wei didn't know what Zhao Zhou meant, anyway, he wanted to thank him one by one, his arm pressed Zhao Zhou's hands hard, and his body was still gradually bowing down.
It seems that Zhao Zhou's strength of more than 1,100 catties has no effect on him at all.
"Good strength." When Zhao Zhou saw this scene, he was also curious, and his arm gradually gathered strength to support his arm.
has been from 1,500 catties, 600 catties, to about 26,700 catties, the shoes of both of them have sunk into the dirt, Dian Wei's bones are 'creaking', and after finding that the strength of his whole body is on his arms, he still can't bow down, and he was framed by this General Zhao.
"General...."
Dian Wei also saw that he couldn't bow down no matter how hard he could, and he also stood up straight, and he didn't know how to thank him, let alone how to be good, so he couldn't help but stand in place and be stunned.
And Zhao Zhou glanced at him, and said to a team leader who came to greet him: "Go get some dry cakes again."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhou wiped his feet, and after the footprints more than ten centimeters deep were smoothed, he ignored Dian Wei, took the horses brought by the soldiers, turned over and walked towards the front of the team.
But on the way there, Zhao Zhou grinded in his heart for a while, and he also came to the conclusion that the strength of Dian Wei was at least more than 2,000 catties! The full burst should be close to three thousand!
It was only about 500 catties less than when he broke out his dark energy.
"I'm going to burst out with all my strength now, I should have three thousand five hundred pounds, but I can't last long.... In normal circumstances, Dian Wei has lifted more than 2,000 catties, which is already twice as much as mine. ”
Zhao Zhou thought about it, and also felt that in the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei's bravery deserved to be at the top of the list!
Combined with the battle of Wancheng in the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei was drunk and had no weapons, and when he used the human body wearing about two hundred catties of armor as a weapon, he wielded it one by one to kill the enemy, and these two thousand catties were the least!
"I don't know how he practiced.... Is it like me, is there any rare formula for strengthening the body? ”
Zhao Zhou pondered and came to the front of the team, ready to call Dian Wei to ask later.
At this time, the front army was at the head, and Cao Cao was eating a dry cake like a soldier.
It's just that he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and turned sideways to see Zhao Zhou rushing towards him, so he swallowed a mouthful of dry cakes, and asked a little choked: "Sir.... But what's the matter? ”
"It's something." Zhao Zhou then stepped forward, handed Cao Cao a water bladder, and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, I found a fierce general, whose bravery is extraordinary, and he is just waiting to hunt tigers and wolves empty-handed."
Zhao Zhou opened his mouth to praise Dian Wei's bravery, and he was not afraid that Dian Wei just had no strength.
Because Dian Wei has really hunted tigers in history, and can also drive a king of the forest to run everywhere, and catch up in the complex forest.
This can also prove that Dian Wei is not only strong, but also surprisingly good! Able to catch up with cats in wooded forests.
That's what I thought of here.
Zhao Zhou felt that if he really had such a prescription, it would be a great improvement for his strength training!
After all, the effect of the pill is not obvious now, but Zhao Zhou has only been studying medicine for four years, and he is still scattered, taking martial arts first, and now he can't figure out any pill prescription.
"Oh, where is the general?"
And Cao Cao heard Zhao Zhou's praise so much, and he didn't ask who this fierce general was, but if he was in the army, he directly raced the dry cake in his arms, so he turned around and wanted to go with Zhao Zhou to have a look.
"Don't worry, fill your stomach first." Seeing that Cao Cao was so excited, Zhao Zhou also put down his thoughts, comforted him first, and then looked at Cao Ren who pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the side: "Zixiao, you go to the rear army to find Dian Wei."
"Oh? Is it the soldier who defected to our army yesterday? Cao Cao still remembered Dian Wei because his appearance was too peculiar.
"Exactly." Zhao Zhou nodded.
"Dian Wei?"
Cao Ren was also a little impressed, but because it was Zhao Zhou's recommendation, he didn't delay, turned around and rode towards the rear army.
In the rear army, because of Zhao Zhou's explanation, Dian Wei is now holding a dry cake and chewing vigorously, as if he is really not full.
"He ate three people's portions by himself...."Next to Dian Wei, there was also a soldier who was in charge of baggage.
He is also ruthless in his heart now, and he still has six dry cakes in his hand, and today he wants to see how much Dian Wei can eat.
It was also at this time that Cao Ren came on horseback and saw Dian Wei, who was tall and too ostentatious, at a glance.
"Dian Wei!"
Cao Ren shouted and came to the big tree.
"General!" Dian Wei also put down the dry cake and got up to bow.
"Is it that he has eaten too much, and the general is a little upset .... Otherwise, how could General Cao Ren come in such a hurry? Seeing Cao Ren's heavy soldiers hurrying over, they also knelt down and saluted, speculating randomly.
"I knew something was going to happen to Dian Wei!" When Dian Wei's original team saw Cao Ren coming, he also pondered in his heart and came up with an idea.
"Is it that General Zhao sent Dian Wei away after he was full.... Originally, I was in Zhang Miao's army, and the tun chief did everything possible to see that Dian Wei was not going well..."The team rate was also guessing, but he also took two steps forward, wanting to say something good.
It's just that as soon as these people's minds fell, Cao Ren dismounted and helped Dian Wei up, laughed and said, "Follow me to Mr., Mr. said he wanted to see you."
After speaking, Cao Ren handed over the horses to the soldiers beside him, and seemed to regard Dian Wei as a friend, and left side by side, which made the soldiers who guessed suddenly stunned, and found that it seemed to be a little different from what they thought.
"It's .... Is this Dian Wei recommended by General Zhao to General Cao? ”
When Dian Wei and the others left, the soldiers also started talking.
"Looking at General Cao Ren's appearance towards Dian Wei, I'm afraid this Dian Wei is going to be promoted!"
"Oops, why didn't I make friends with Dian Wei before!"
"As long as Dian Wei follows General Zhao, you can eat as many dry cakes as you want..."
With sighs, or envy, the rear army talked a lot, but also with the shouting of a general, all the soldiers also lowered their voices, or did not speak.
But I was envious in my heart, knowing that Dian Wei was named by General Zhao, so he would have a bright future in the Cao army in the future.
And the former army.
Zhao Zhou saw Cao Ren bring Dian Wei over, and he also took a few steps forward from Cao Cao's horse, looked at each other and introduced him, and let Dian Wei show his strength, and raised a horse with his bare hands.
"Good strength!"
"In addition to Mr., there are such fierce generals in the army?!"
The generals also exclaimed one after another, looking at the frightened horses in mid-air.
"It's not...."Dian Wei shook his head, put the horse down, and explained: "General Zhao's strength is much greater than mine, and he lifted it up with one hand!"
Dian Wei didn't know how to describe it, so he gestured with his hands and talked for a long time.
But no matter what, Cao Cao and the others had a light in their eyes, recognized Dian Wei, and under Zhao Zhou's recommendation, let Dian Wei become Cao Cao's personal guard.
The rear army who learned the news was even more envious....
And then.
Time is in a hurry.
A few days passed.
When back to Chenliu.
Zhao Zhou has a deep relationship with Dian Wei in the past few days, and then came to Dian Wei's temporary residence with the idea of whether there is a prescription.
He had been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, and had been waiting for Dian Wei to come and ask when he was alone.
"Sir, why are you here...."Dian Wei saw Zhao Zhou coming, hurriedly saluted, and sincerely thanked Zhao Zhou for making him from an ordinary soldier to a 'guard general'.
"General Dian." Zhao Zhou took two steps forward, competed, and didn't let him salute.
Subsequently, Zhao Zhou seemed to visit Dian Wei's residence, glanced at the vicinity of Dian Wei, and after realizing that there was no one, his face turned straight and asked freely: "Dian Wei, you are so strong, what can you do?" Can you speak. ”
Zhao Zhou simply didn't shy away from anything about a warrior like Dian Wei, and it was also this relationship that deepened, so he asked and asked.
But if a straight person like Dian Wei doesn't want to answer, no matter how deep the relationship is, it's useless.
"Yes!" When Dian Wei heard this, he really nodded, but he said with some embarrassment: "But.... General Zhao, this method, Dian Wei doesn't know if other people are useful, these are what Dian Wei found in a cave when he went to play in the forest when he was a child.... The literate gentleman in the town said that it was a pre-Qin script, and it was a prescription, and it took a few years to configure it, and Dian Wei also used it for a few years, and the effect was not very good...."
Dian Wei said, and didn't avoid anything, and directly picked up a ball of "paste" wrapped in tiger skin from the table, like a plaster, which should have been boiled in the past two days.
Zhao Zhou saw it, took it, and didn't wipe it on his body for the first time, but let the system scan it.
I also know that this lump of 'paste' is really medicine, and it complements each other with the Strengthening Pill, one external and one internal.
[Name: Pre-Qin Unknown Danfang]
How to use: External.
Effect: Improve the toughness of bones and muscles, and gradually increase strength due to personal physique.
Note: Age is too old, the bones are formed, and the effect is weak.
Solution: The 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound' of the Lucky Luck can vibrate the bones and promote the absorption of medicinal effects. Because 30% of the ingredients of this unknown Danfang are tiger bones, which is in line with the shaking bone method of the lucky person, adding medicinal effect.
[The remaining Danfang ingredients are being analyzed....]
