The generals present could think of it!
Zhuge Mu naturally understood.
However…
Different from the numerous difficulties that the generals thought of…
Zhuge Mu saw an opportunity!
This opportunity was undoubtedly left for him by Cao Cao.
If he could seize this opportunity, then he, who was in charge of Yong and Yong Provinces, would definitely become a real power in the army.
Under such circumstances.
The resistance that Cao Cao faced when he supported Zhuge Mu as the number one person in the army would also be much weaker.
Thinking of this,
Zhuge Mu thought about it seriously and said,"Reporting to my lord, the war in the north has just ended. It is not appropriate to become enemies with Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Han Sui, and the others who occupy Yong and Yong Provinces.”
"Facing the Ma and Han forces, on one hand, we should appease them, on the other hand, we should recruit soldiers and rest our weapons.”
"In this situation, if Ma, Han, and the other Yong Di forces send troops to attack, we can be prepared.”
Hearing Zhuge Mu's words, Cao Cao nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.
Because Zhuge Mu's words had hit the nail on the head.
He was preparing to go south to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou next year. With his current strength, it was impossible for Sun Quan of Jiangdong to divide his forces to fight on the north and south.
Zhuge Mu's 'steadiness' was exactly what he saw.
In front of the southern expedition that he had been thinking about, all military operations had to give way to the southern expedition.
If Zhuge Mu were to open his mouth and say that the two forces were going to war, Cao Cao would be disappointed in Zhuge Mu.
But…
How could Cao Cao have imagined that
Zhuge Mu's 'steady as Lao Gou' strategy of controlling the Yong and Yong was based on this thought.
From the very beginning, Zhuge Mu had never intended to waver Cao Cao's "fundamental path".
As a transmigrator, no one knew better than Zhuge Mu how deep Cao Cao's obsession with the southern expedition was.
Eh!
Of course, no one knew better than him!
Cao Cao had suffered a terrible defeat in the southern expedition.
As a result, after his defeat at Red Cliff, he had never been able to personally lead an army into Jing State.
Cao Cao did not know what Zhuge Mu was thinking. He continued,"Shuzhi, what if Ma Teng and Han Sui refuse to accept the Imperial Court's invitation and insist on leading the Qiang cavalry and Western Liang soldiers to attack?”
Cao Cao suddenly asked Zhuge Mu.
Zhuge Mu laughed when he heard Cao Cao's words.
"Ruoma, Han Jin has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. Mu will block them for my lord and protect Chang 'an. If he comes with 100,000 troops, I'm willing to swallow him up for you.”
Zhuge Mu calmly said the domineering words that Wei Yan had said to Liu Bei when he was appointed as the Governor of Hanzhong.
These words made Cao Cao extremely happy.
"Haha, with Uncle's words, Yong Ke has nothing to worry about.”
After laughing, Cao Cao said to Zhuge Mu,""Shuzhi, follow me back to Xudu first. After I ask His Majesty for an edict, it won't be too late for you to rush to Yongling.”
Following that, Cao Cao discussed with Xun You and the other civil officials about returning to the court before sending them away.
However, what made Cao Cao a little shocked was that…
Zhuge Mu and the others had already left, but Xun You, who was acting as a strategist, was still standing there without moving.
"Gongda, do you have something to tell me?”
"Replying to my lord, I am indeed a little puzzled and would like to ask my lord?”Xun You said.
"Oh?"
"There is actually something in this world that you, Xun Gongda, can't understand?”
Cao Cao's interest was piqued. He supported his chin with one hand and signaled Xun You to speak with the other.
"My lord, I don't understand why you value General Zhuge Mu so much.”
"Why do you insist on supporting him as the best general in the army? In this subordinate's opinion, isn't this a little inappropriate?!!!”
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed out loud.
"Xun Gongda, Xun Gongda!”
"To think that I thought you would ask something. It turns out that the question you asked is actually so childish!”
"Even…"
Cao Cao pointed at Xun You and said,""It can be called pedantic."
After saying that, Cao Cao didn't answer Xun You's question and just waved his hand.
"Go back and think about this problem yourself!”
"If you don't understand, go ask your uncle Xun Wenruo. He will give you an answer.”
…On
the other side.
Zhuge Mu, who had left the County Governor's Mansion, returned to the military camp outside the city.
After returning to his own tent, Zhuge Mu said in his heart
, System, bring up the Battle Merit Merchant Shop.”
"Ding, the battle achievement store has been successfully opened. Please check it yourself.”
[Zhuge Mu's
Strength: 100
, Commander: 95
, Intelligence: 91,
Political: 93
][Evaluation: A product of the system, it must be of high quality.]
[Battle Battle Merit Points: 976325 points.
Battle Merit Market Level: Level 2 (Redeemable weapons are iron)
. Note: Killing a foreign soldier will reward you with 1 battle merit point, killing a Han soldier will reward you with 0.5 battle merit point.]”
[Note: The current market level is too low. All weapons sold are cold weapons.]”
[Note: The items listed in the store will refresh once every three days. There is a chance that special items will appear.]
[Note: The reward for killing a Han general is halved.]
[Special Battle Merit Reward System:
Captain: 1000 points
, Captain: 10000 points
, General (Commander-level): 20000 points
, Prince Xian of the Left, Prince Xian of the Right, 50000 points
, leader of the Outsiders, 100000 points.
Looking at the Battle Merit Merchant Shop interface that popped up in front of him, Zhuge Mu was attracted by the 976,325 Battle Merit Points.
He actually accumulated so many points?
Zhuge Mu was surprised.
However, when he thought about how he had beheaded three of the Outsiders 'Kings, Bu Dugen, Kebineng, and Tadun, he felt relieved.
After all, just these three kills added up to 300,000 points.
Adding on the rewards of the heads of Liaoxi Chanyu Lou Ban and Right Beiping Chanyu Nengchen Dizhi, which were roughly equivalent to the heads of the Left and Right Virtuous Kings, another 100,000 points entered his account.
In addition, there were also the rewards for killing those non-human tribunes and chiliarchs.
It was not an exaggeration to accumulate so many points these days.
"System, how many points do I need to upgrade the Battle Merit Mall to Level 3?”
Zhuge Mu immediately asked.
Ding!"Detected that the host has 973,625 points. Would the host like to spend 250,000 points to upgrade the Battle Merit Mall to a Level 3 Mall?”
250,000 points?
Zhuge Mu was stunned when he heard the amount of battle points required to level up.
Combined with the points required to level up in the Battle Merit Mall, it was a five-fold consumption.
Zhuge Mu felt that if he wanted to wait until the flintlock gun that he had been longing for appeared in the mall, wouldn't it be in his lifetime, or perhaps he could kill his way to the extinction series?
After scolding the system, Zhuge Mu gritted his teeth and said,""Upgrade!"
"Ding…Battle Merit Mall has been upgraded successfully!”
"The quality of the weapons in the Battle Merit Mall has been upgraded from ordinary iron to copper iron.”
"For the specific details, please check it yourself!!!”
[PS: Ma Teng is still alive at this time. Ma Teng will only enter the court in 208 and die in 212.]
The previous one was written wrong. At this time, the person in charge of Yongyi should be Han Sui and Ma Teng, not Ma Chao and Han Sui. The previous one had been changed!
ps2: The battle achievement store data is really not water, this is the only time!
The main reason was that he was afraid that everyone would forget! It would never happen again!
As for firearms, they shouldn't appear soon!
In his imagination, Bronze (Shop Level 1), Iron (Shop Level 2), Copper (Shop Level 3), Steel (Shop Level 4)
, when the long guns and short cannons appeared, the Battle Merit Shop would be unlocked at Level 5 and Level 6!
In other words, the main character would basically rule the world at that time.
It was only when the Han army galloped across the continent that firearms appeared.
After all, firearms were more effective when used against outsiders!!!
Finally, I'm begging for a wave of automatic notifications!!!
