Chapter 1: Asking Questions

The army galloped towards Luoyang.

This was the triumph of the Chinese army that went south to assist Wang Ji.

They brought with them a large number of captives and even all kinds of captures.

Most of them are flags, war drums, and generals' armor and the like, and the symbolism is a little greater.

Cao Chao has always attached great importance to the triumphant division.

This has been the case since Chen Tai's meeting.

Cao Chao stood at the forefront, leading hundreds of civil and military officials, to greet him.

Luo Xian stood among the ministers, he looked at the sword at his waist, and then at the emperor in the distance.

Now the ministers are all standing according to etiquette, if they suddenly come forward, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and besides, the army is triumphant, and the emperor is full of armor soldiers.

There is not much chance of success, so let's pretend to arrange the reward for the army first, and talk about it later.

However, he saw the emperor standing in the distance with a solemn face, standing on tiptoe and waiting for his army.

Luo Xian always had some inexplicable envy in his heart.

He never seemed to have seen such a posture in Chengdu.

It's not even been a long time since I've heard of a reward army, at most, it's a knighthood for all the generals, to appease them, and they won't even have a banquet to entertain them.

No wonder Jiang Wei is under so much pressure on the front line.

In contrast, Luo Xian couldn't help but shake his head.

Chen Qian was standing beside him, and at this moment he commanded in a low voice: "You can handle the affairs of the whole army now, in addition, the new training manual, remember to distribute it to these generals in time for this period of time, you have to make more efforts." ”

"Yui!!"

Luo Xian hurriedly received the order.

At this time, the Chinese army finally appeared in front of Cao Chao.

Cao Chao looked at this mighty and elite Chinese army, and his eyes were full of pride.

That's what he's confident about.

"Xiaoxing!"

"Ah Duck!"

Cao Chao stepped forward with a smile and grabbed the hands of his two henchmen.

Ma Long and Wen Yang stood in front of Cao Chao one after another, Ma Long was very humble, and Wen Yang couldn't wait to open his mouth.

"Your Majesty, this time the minister will kill Liuxian first! Capture Sun Xin again! Living up to His Majesty's high expectations!! ”

"Hahaha, how did Ah Yang ever fail me?"

Cao Chao smiled and helped him up, his eyes full of joy.

In fact, Malone's military exploits were the greatest, he broke the most armies, and almost all of the two cities were taken by him as the main force, running around and killing the most enemies.

But the problem is that Wen Yang's tactics are too much in line with taking credit.

No matter how many troops Ma Long breaks, it is not as good as Wen Yang to kill Liuxian with one charge, and capture Sun Xin alive with the second charge.

But Malone was not the kind of person who would hate the exploits of his comrades, and this time he was thinking about writing a book on the art of war, a summary of fighting in the South.

This battle that took place in the south allowed Malone to learn a lot and gain experience once again.

For Wen Yang, it may not be much of a promotion for him, but the cavalry he led has a huge opportunity to improve.

After several successive battles, it can be said that Wenyang's cavalry is becoming more and more elite, which is really a bit similar to the tiger and leopard cavalry in the past.

If in the past they just had that name, now they really have something.

Cao Chao was also very generous, and without even waiting to go back, on the side of the road, he rewarded the many captains in front of him, as well as the soldiers they had performed.

Immediately, Cao Chao announced that he would reward the army for three days, so that they could return to the camp and enjoy themselves.

Cao Chao's idea is very simple, as a boss, his subordinates have achieved achievements, give them a three-day vacation, let them have a three-day party, isn't it very deserved?

For this reward, Cao Chao deliberately slaughtered 2,000 sheep and 1,000 pigs.

The rest of the drinks, fruits, etc. are countless.

In addition, according to the merits they have done, and the money and merit they have given, the land is also very great.

At present, Cao Wei's treasury is not short of money.

There are too many big clans that Cao Chao has killed over the years, and even the things that have been confiscated are more than these.

The soldiers were extremely happy, and their faces were full of joy.

And for Ma Long and other meritorious generals, Cao Chao also set up a banquet to entertain them.

When Cao Chao pulled the two of them into his car, pulled a person with one hand, and passed by the road with such a show of strength, Luo Xian couldn't help but cast envious eyes.

What an honor.

By the time they returned to the palace, the banquet had been set up.

The musicians played songs, the ministers sat on either side, and the two meritorious generals sat closest to the emperor at this moment, which was also a special honor.

Cao Chao first loudly congratulated them on their achievements, and then encouraged the ministers to follow suit.

At the beginning of the banquet, the ministers who had been suppressed for a long time seemed to have found an opportunity to vent.

Some of them sang, some danced.

In fact, this is also normal, since the former Han Dynasty, it is common to sing and dance at banquets, and the banquet culture of many ethnic groups in the world is carried out by singing and dancing.

However, the dances of the former Han Dynasty were more majestic, and most of them were sword or shield dances.

And Wei Jin's dance is a little crazy, the hands and feet are not so coordinated, and the main theme is to do whatever you want.

Looking at the ministers shaking their heads below, Cao Chao couldn't help but say to Zhang Hua on the side: "Pull Pei Xiu out and smell it later, and see if this guy is dissolved again."

Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, and then saw Pei Xiu, who was dancing extremely wildly, and hurriedly nodded.

Wen Yang slowly approached Cao Chao, and he asked in a low voice, "I heard that Your Majesty has dug up Sima Shi's grave?!" ”

Wen Yang looked excited, and his eyes lit up.

Cao Chao smiled, "Yes, I dug it, and then buried it again." ”

"Why don't you break the bones and scatter the ashes?"

Wen Yang hated the Sima family because of the influence of family studies, in fact, Wen Qin may not be so loyal to the Cao family, but he made a good friend.

He was influenced by Biqiu Jian and went to the path of Kuangfu Wei, and his son was also influenced by his father.

Cao Chao did not answer this.

Wen Yang continued: "Actually, Your Majesty was too tolerant of the Sima family, and just kept them in captivity, but did not kill them."

Cao Chao calmly looked at the people in front of him and explained: "It's just because there are many people who can be used, if the Xuqi clan, Du Pre, Yanghu, Chen Tai, and even Zhuge Dan, Wang Chang and others will be implicated."

"There are few local county guards who can escape the involvement."

"However, these big families, sooner or later, will be eaten up a little bit, I want to change not only this thing, I want to completely shatter these gate valve clans, when the time comes, there must be one who can be the first to open the knife, right? There must be one that can be used as a knife in my hand, and I can throw it away with confidence when I run out, right? ”

Wen Yang looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't understand the emperor's words very well.

Cao Chao said with a smile: "You, don't think about it too much, rest assured to see your art of war, I have done useless work, and many things now are deployed in advance, and we will see it in the future!" ”

The banquet ended soon after, and Zhang Hua pulled Pei Xiu, who was stunned, and left the place first.

And Cao Chao took Ma Long and Wen Yang and returned to the West Hall together.

The three of them sat here solemnly.

Cao Chao looked at them, "How are the generals of the armies of Wu and Shu?" ”

Wen Yang hurriedly said: "It's not worth mentioning, they are all rats, and they will be defeated with one blow." ”

"And those generals, seeing that I am running faster than a rabbit, if it weren't for the fact that I am not familiar with it, none of them would want to run away!"

Wen Yang spoke quickly, and he devalued the armies of these two countries as worthless.

Cao Chao called him over, and he didn't think that this young man could say anything.

The main thing is not to make him feel that he is left out, but also to let him learn something.

Malone said at this moment: "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. ”

"The state of Wu is in turmoil this time, the emperor was deposed, the general was killed, the people were frightened, they had no fighting spirit, and they had no fighting spirit, so to speak, things were corrupted to the extreme."

"The minister spoke boldly and bluntly, please don't blame Your Majesty."

"If the minister leads such an army to fight against General Wang, the minister will definitely be wiped out and have no chance of winning, however, Shi Ji can bring such an army so that we can't easily take down the general, and Ding Feng can fight with us without crushing."

"It can be said that the generals of Wu are not all weak people, these two people are, and the rest of the generals, when the army does not have any fighting spirit, can still charge forward, although they are killed and captured, but there are few surrenderers, which is really not to be underestimated."

"As for their armor, when the minister later followed the army to pursue the rout, he encountered their navy, and the navy of Wu, even in such a situation, was still brave and strong, so that we could not cross the river to fight, and even once wanted to land on the shore to fight with us."

"As for the Shu Kingdom, their generals were extremely decisive when they were attacked by us, without any hesitation, and their armor soldiers were good at mountain warfare, and with the help of favorable terrain, they could even block our elite from advancing."

"The minister thinks that if you want to take Shu, you must practice more tactics of mountain warfare, so that the soldiers are proficient, and if you want to take Wu, you must build more warships and practice the tactics of water combat."

Ma Long talked eloquently, he said seriously: "And these are what the generals of their two countries are best at, Your Majesty can let the generals of these two countries come to take out their methods of training the naval army and the mountain and forest armor soldiers, and let them help train the army together."

Cao Chao stroked his chin and squinted his eyes, "So, it won't be possible to complete the unification in the short term?" ”

Ma Long said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the most important thing in the war between countries is the hearts of the people, and now the people's hearts are here, they will definitely be defeated." ”

"It's just that I think that being prepared can allow us to reduce a lot of losses."

"You're right!"

"There must be a special mountain battalion in the Chinese army, and there must also be a water battalion!"

"We must set an example for foreign armies everywhere!"
