Chapter Thirty-Six: The Elk Breaks the Groove

It is recorded in the "Notes on the Book of Water": Baigou water is south of the dragon city to the west, and the northwest of the city is Mopi.

Mopi is located outside of Yingchuan County, where the terrain is flat and surrounded by water sources, which is very suitable for the army as a place to camp.

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, there were 100,000 troops stationed here.

I saw that at this time, in this place of Mopi, there are thousands of tents connected to the left and right, stretching endlessly.

Viewed from above, these thousands of tents spread out from the north to the south, covering the vast land for more than ten miles.

And for miles around these thousands of tents, there stood many watchtowers several feet high.

These towers were like giants, guarding the hundred thousand soldiers behind him.

Under the countless tall watchtowers, there are endless antlers and horses.

The innumerable antlers and horses are intertwined and intricate,

The sheer number and tightness of the furnishings make any enemy feel terrified to retreat.

Hundreds of thousands of battle flags with the word "Wei" were waving in the wind in the vast barracks, and they were stretching their bodies wantonly in the sky.

A gust of wind blew, and they all stretched their bodies together, enough to cover the sky and the sun.

Their existence is undoubtedly a proclamation of the power of his master in the world.

The camp here is where the garrison of the current King of Wei is located.

At this moment, in the midst of this boundless barracks, there is a large camp located in the center of all the camps, covering a large area.

There was a golden cart parked outside the camp, and the six horses pulling the golden cart were bored and snorting outside the camp.

But it seems that these beasts have also understood human nature, although they are snorting, but they dare not make too loud noises,

They were afraid of disturbing their master's lunch break in the camp.

In this imposing camp, there was an old man with gorgeous hair who was lying on the couch and snoring slightly.

When he slept, his face was as ravine-ravine-like as that of an old man.

But between his chests and his chest, there seemed to be a supreme power around his body,

Even when he was asleep, he did not dare to look at him.

Beside his couch was a crown of twelve kings.

In the twenty-second year of Han Jian'an, the emperor remembered that the king of Wei had made outstanding achievements, and specially gave the king of Wei to set up the banner of the Son of Heaven, and he was called a police officer in and out.

Ordered the crown to be two out of ten, take the golden root car, drive six horses, and set up a five-hour auxiliary car.

The old man lying on the couch is Cao Cao Mengde, the most powerful Wei king today.

Just now, after Cao Cao's deliberations, he felt sleepy, so he planned to take a nap in the soft collapse of the camp.

And when he lay down and fell asleep, his originally peaceful face gradually disappeared.

He had a dream.

In his dream, he saw three horses eating together.

Because of his surname Cao, Cao Cao felt very uneasy about this.

In the dream, he was about to draw his sword to cut down the three black horses, but at this moment,

Suddenly, however, he saw a snow-white elk leap into the trough and snatch the fodder from the three black horses.

The snow-white elk was very valiant, although it was a deer, but it did not fall behind at all when it raised three fierce horses.

After a fight, the snow-white elk was severely wounded and finally expelled the three black horses from the trough.

Just when Cao Cao thought that the white deer was here to guard his Cao clan, the next scene made him unable to keep calm anymore.

After the snow-white elk had driven out the three black horses, he began to use the draft materials in the trough for himself.

As the forage entered its mouth, the white deer's body grew larger and larger, until finally, its body was large enough to break through the trough it was in.

Just when Cao Cao's heart was becoming more and more uneasy, at this time, the sun suddenly rose in his dream,

The blazing sun almost melted everything in the dream, and just when Cao Cao was at a loss,

He suddenly woke up from his dream.

Cao Cao woke up from his sleep, he got up from the couch suddenly, and a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and self-righteous immediately glanced at the waiters in the big tent.

The attendants were swept by his fierce gaze, and they all fell to their knees in fright, trembling all over.

It is rumored that the King of Wei killed people in his dream.

I don't know if King Wei will like to kill people after waking up from his dream.

After Cao Cao returned to reality from his dream, he immediately called for a person,

"Where is the tiger idiot!"

A strong man guarding three steps away from Cao Cao, after hearing Cao Cao summon him, immediately walked quickly to Cao Cao's couch,

"Your Highness, the minister is here!"

The name of the person who was called a tiger idiot by Cao Cao is Xu Chu, the word Zhongkang, the current general of the Wei State Wuwei Zhonglang, and the personal guard commander of Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

When Cao Cao saw Xu Chu coming to him, he grabbed Xu Chu's wrist and asked Xu Chu in a low voice,

"Zhongkang, can you see Bailu?"

Cao Cao had just woken up from a dream, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

And Xu Chu saw Cao Cao ask him if he had seen the white deer, and he was a little confused for a while.

Previously, Cao Cao woke up from a dream and asked him if he had seen three black horses break into the tent.

Xu Chu has a loyal personality, and he honestly replied to Cao Cao,

"Your Highness, the minister has been on duty, and I haven't seen a white deer in the account."

Xu Chu's answer was the same as before.

Xu Chu's answer made Cao Cao feel a little at ease,

I don't know if it's because I killed too much before, or because I'm old,

In recent years, he has often had strange dreams, such as three horses in the same trough, and today, he actually had a dream of an elk occupying the trough.

Some dreams are so much that sometimes they can't even tell the difference between reality and illusion.

But Cao Cao is a hero, although he occasionally was confused, but he quickly regained his senses.

After seeing that he was completely conscious, Cao Cao immediately asked Xu Chu again,

"During this period of solitary rest, can there be a front-line military report?"

Xu Chu knew that the front line in Cao Cao's mouth was referring to the Xiangfan area, and he respectfully replied to Cao Cao,

"Your Highness, no."

Hearing Xu Chu say this, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Since he was defeated by Liu Bei in the Battle of Hanzhong, he was now most concerned about the movements of Guan Yu's army on the Xiangfan front.

After the destruction of the 30,000-strong army, he sent Xu Huang to support Cao Ren.

Cao Cao actually didn't know if Xu Huang was Guan Yu's opponent.

But as long as there are no bad reports from the front, that's good news for him.

With the support of strong national strength, Cao Cao is not afraid to fight a war of attrition with anyone.

However, at this time, Xu Chu reported, "Although there is no battle report from General Xu on the front line, Fang Cai has sent someone to report that Sun Quan's envoy has arrived, and His Royal Highness is invited to receive him in time." ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard that Sun Quan's envoy was coming, his heart was overjoyed,

Xiangfan is saved.

Cao Cao immediately got up from the bed.

It was winter, but Cao Cao only took out a leather jacket from the hanger on the side and put it on himself, and then he shouted outside the tent,

"Beat the drum to convene the ministers to discuss the matter."

With Cao Cao's order, a big drum outside Cao Cao's big tent was beaten.

And with the sound of the drums, when the center of Cao Cao's big tent radiated around, the ministers of Cao Wei who heard the drums quickly came towards Cao Cao's big tent of the Chinese army.

...

Cao Cao advocated the doctrine of legalism, whether it was governing the army or governing the ministers, he was bound by strict laws.

The ministers of Cao Wei, who had been trained by Cao Cao's power tricks for most of their lives, gathered in Cao Cao's Chinese army tent not long after hearing the sound of drums.

Cao Cao's Chinese army tent covers a very large area, and his meeting place in the Chinese army tent alone is enough to accommodate hundreds of courtiers to discuss matters.

When the hundreds of courtiers arrived, they all sat respectfully at their seats.

They looked at their noses and noses, as if they were all immersed in their own world, and did not dare to have any disrespect in their manners.

And Cao Cao, who wore a crown of twelve crowns, was the most noble among the people present, but his demeanor was the most rude.
