"My lord, there's no need to be so polite. Since I've decided to assist you, I'll definitely do my best and use what I've learned.”
Xu Shu was pleasantly surprised. He really did not expect that he actually had the qualifications to compete with the strategists of the world. From the beginning, he only felt that his talent could not meet a wise master.
After meeting Liu Bei, he had thought of leaving the mountain, but he was still waiting to observe. He did not expect that he would be ranked ninth in one go.
"Good, good, Yuanzhi!" Liu Bei held his hand tightly." From today onwards, I will definitely listen to you and not let you down.”
"My lord, there's no need to be so polite. In the future, I will be the one to learn from you.”
"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful!”Sima Hui stroked his beard, his face full of smiles as he looked at the two of them.
"One of you has a wise master, and the other has a strategist. This is the happiest thing in life. Just like a sharp sword that has been unsheathed and can break the sky, how can you not be happy to have a scabbard that can carry its will?!”
"Not bad, not bad…"
Liu Bei wiped his tears, his face filled with excitement.
……
At this moment, in Xiangyang.
A wail was heard from the mansion in the inner city.
"Aiya! He, he, he was ranked ninth on the Heaven Roll!”
" And it's also known as the White Crane. We missed it…"
In the Cai family's mansion, two generals who had just taken off their armor wailed.
"This, this f * cking thing, we should have a good chat with him! Even if it's a request, you have to let him stay!”
"Ninth, ninth! If we invite him out of the mountain, we will definitely be able to make contributions. It's better than being a state general now! Ahhhh!"
Cai He, who was short and fat, could not understand it no matter what. He slapped himself.
"Big brother, we were wrong!"
Cai Mao, who had just returned from the military camp and had failed in his operation, was instantly enraged when he heard this.
Missing one person, missing another. Today, I missed Liu Bei, and you all missed Xu Shu.
"Idiot! He had already said that he would treat them with courtesy and invite the advisors to come out of the mountains. They would be placed in the official positions of the various states and counties in Jing State like chess pieces, so that they could naturally show their effectiveness! It's also good for future planning."
"What happened to you? Is this how you treat me? Ah?"
At this moment, Cai Mao went up and kicked Cai He. After so many years of planning, he needed a strategist to come up with a plan.
He wanted them to know how to take Jingzhou back from Cao Cao's hands.
But now, these two stupid brothers had let go of the ninth on the Golden Roll.
" Big brother, big brother, forget it…It's not that…"
Cai Zhong frantically tried to persuade Cai Mao, tightly holding Cai Mao's hand, mainly because he was afraid that he would also be beaten up.
"Big brother, I was wrong."
Cai He covered his face and slumped on the ground like a frightened bird.
" Sigh…" Cai Mao sighed deeply." Forget it. It's my bad temper today. I'm just a little frustrated. I don't blame you."”
"Big brother, be happy."
Cai He got up from the ground and patted Cai Mao's shoulder to comfort him.
At this moment, Cai Mao, who had finally stopped and was about to calm down, suddenly twitched his mouth and kicked.
"Happy? I'll make you happy! Happy! I'm so happy!"
This outburst made Cai He cover his head and flee like a rat, turning into a rolling worm.
……
At this moment, in Xu Tian hunting ground outside the capital, Cao Cao was sleeping peacefully in his tent. He opened his eyes and waited for Xu Zhen's return.
Tonight, Xu Zhen was wearing a light armor made of bright silver, looking extremely handsome.
After so many years, he had a slight beard on his chin and lips, which made him look more mature. His beard was well groomed, and his spirit was getting more and more excited.
He also looked a little more fierce and upright like a pine.
"Bowen, you came at the right time. Did you see the commotion on the Advisor Heaven Ranking?”
"I saw it."
Xu Zhen sat on the soft couch at the bottom of the table. Wild rabbit meat, fine wine, and various precious delicacies made by the kitchen were placed on the table.
This was before the war and they were waiting for the autumn harvest. Other than training, the soldiers would also follow their lord to gather troops to hunt in Xutian.
To show the joy of bravery.
The Great Han Dynasty was founded on martial arts, and it had fought its way out of a chaotic world.
Therefore, most of the nobles liked to hunt.
At this moment, Cao Cao specially called Xu Zhen over for Xu Shu.
Coincidentally, Xun Yu was also there. He smiled and said,""If I had known that lord was here for this matter, why would I need to find Bowen? I know Xu Shu.”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao half-opened his eyes and looked at Xun Yu.”
Xun Yu stood up slightly and continued,""He's called Bai He. That's not bad. In his early years, he was a good ranger at Yingshui. His sword skills were superb. It's said that he was taught by a great teacher.”
"Wang Yue."
Xu Zhen said indifferently.
" It seems to be this person." Xun Yu instantly sweated.
I just said that I don't need Xu Zhen, so I forgot his master's name. But at the same time, Xun Yu felt strange. How did you know?
Wang Yue was someone who liked to befriend powerful people. Back in Luoyang, he was famous in the capital for his extraordinary swordsmanship.
"En, later on, Xu Shu killed someone in the village and escaped. He disappeared without a trace and concealed his identity. He visited famous teachers and began to study Confucian classics.”
Cao Cao's interest was piqued when he heard this. This person was skilled in both martial arts and literature, no different from Xu Zhen.
It seemed that it was another little Xu Zhen.
Unfortunately, he did not have both lists. He was not on the Brave General List. Or rather, there would be a Wise General List in the future. A figure like him might have multiple lists.
"Wen Ruo, how much less talented is this person compared to you?”
Xun Yu immediately bowed deeply and sighed,""He's several times stronger than me."
" Hmph hmph hmph…Impossible." Cao Cao did not care. He knew that Xun Yu was being humble again.
"Ten times, or even dozens of times."
Xun Yu said again.
The second time he emphasized it, his expression had become extremely confident, and he did not have the slightest intention of joking.
Therefore, this expression made Cao Cao sit up and ask suspiciously,""Is there really such a person? I wonder who can subdue him."
Xu Zhen smiled." Liu Bei."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was dumbfounded.
"Is it really Liu Bei? Liu Xuande?"
Xu Zhen nodded." It's him."
"Ninth on the Heavenly Ranking of Counselors…Unfortunately, I can't use him.”
"You already have first and second place.”
Xu Zhen reminded him. As much as he wanted.
Xun Yu smiled at Xu Zhen and said loudly,""Bowen doesn't know that although I'm number one, I'm mostly used for internal affairs and not good at military affairs.”
"Although Wen He is second, his plans are against the heavens and cannot be tolerated for the sake of righteousness. Most of them are vicious and ruthless. If the tyrant used them to be invincible, what he can't do now is to abandon the Dao and Justice Heaven Duke.”
"However, Xu Shu is skilled in the art of war. He is quick-witted and resourceful. His literary skills and military strategies are nothing to be afraid of. I'm afraid that only Guo Fengxiao, who is ranked third in the world, can compare to him.”
Speaking of this, Xun Yu looked at Xu Zhen seriously.
Guo Fengxiao is in your tent.
"Hehehe, sigh, Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao repeated this name a few times," I actually let this person get up again.”
"Truly formidable."
Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something. He asked with interest,"My lord, do you think Liu Bei is a gentleman? Is his benevolence and righteousness true?"
Cao Cao looked at Xu Zhen in surprise.
He was your former lord, and you two still have some friendship. My evaluation of him now doesn't seem too good.
If I say too much, wouldn't I be scolding you for choosing the wrong person in the past?
However, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time and nodded.”
"Then why do the aristocrats always say that he is a hypocrite?”Xun Yu suddenly interrupted.
Cao Cao laughed coldly," Why do I say I don't know? But if he is really a hypocrite, could it be that Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Yuan Shao, and those who once supported Liu Bei are all hopeless fools?”
"Yun Chang refused to betray his master and swore to follow him. In this world, there were many benevolent virtues that could not be understood. The world was busy and there were many different opinions. Who could really subdue the endless mouths of the world?”
" Hehehe," Cao Cao laughed leisurely, his chest gradually puffed out, and he sighed,""In short, whether Liu Bei is a hypocrite or not, he is the hero of the world.”
Xun Yu: "???"
Xu Zhen: " I'm numb. I'm so stupid. Really, I thought you were really going to praise him. In the end, you're praising yourself…"
Cao Cao's face did not turn red, nor did he jump. He looked at the two of them happily, feeling very happy in his heart.
Of course, if Liu Bei wasn't powerful, how could he be powerful?
This person has escaped from my control time and time again. It's not easy for him to not make a sound. It won't be long before he can rise again.
To be honest, if he had been born into a noble family, he would have had the identity of Yuan Benchu.
Right now, the vassals of the world were still uncertain. This person was too terrifying and could not be ignored.
"In that case, Liu Bei is even more hateful. I treated him well in the early years, but he could not be of use to me.”
Cao Cao sighed deeply." Especially Chief Yun. He didn't come to see me when he left. He just drank with you for a night and left without saying goodbye the next day."”
"He doesn't dare to see you. What does it have to do with me?" Xu Zhen was speechless.”
"That's why it's despicable! Am I that kind of person? Could it be that I won't let him go if he tells me clearly?”
"Send troops!" Cao Cao's expression darkened, as if he was feeling more and more wronged." Order Cao Ren and Li Dian to send troops to Anding first and march into Xinye. We will use 50,000 troops to see Liu Bei's strength!”
Xu Zhen immediately frowned." Send a military counselor to follow?”
" No need." Cao Cao waved his hand." There's no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. Cao Ren has been learning the art of war for years and is a brave general. Xinye is just a small city. It's nothing."”
"If it works, we can exhaust Liu Bei's forces and wait for my army to arrive.”
After Xu Zhen heard this, he naturally had nothing to say.
In any case, my troops, the Snowy Dragon Cavalry, are all in Qingzhou. Other than Zilong, who is in Xudu, guarding the Imperial City and accompanying Liu Xie, the other valiant generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, are all in Qingzhou to raise their troops.
Later on, he got Zhang Liao, and his army gradually became stronger. His cavalry became even stronger. He also built warships near Qinghai and opened a merchant caravan. From Qingzhou, he went all the way to Youzhou in the north and traded with the horse-riding people.
Qingzhou had been getting richer over the years.
In any case, he would not use too many soldiers to go to Red Cliff, unless it was a critical moment. There were many difficulties in Red Cliff, and Xu Zhen had not thought about it yet.
Moreover, Xu Shu was a person who understood the art of war when it came to going south to Xinye. As for Xu Zhen, to be honest, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to go.
Guo Fengxiao had implemented the method of dividing the fields in Qingzhou, and he had also produced Wood Flow Cows and Horses to harvest grain. This year, Qingzhou would definitely be very busy and have a huge harvest.
That was why he was not by her side.
Without Guo Jia by his side, Xu Zhen had no choice.
He couldn't understand the military formation.
It was easy for big things to happen.
Therefore, Xu Zhen chose to remain silent. At this moment, Xu Zhen truly understood that there was a reason why he was ranked second from the bottom on the Advisor Rank.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Oh, I'm in last place again.
After Xu Shu entered the rankings, all the strategists after the 9th place moved one place back.
"In that case, my lord will make the decision.”
Cao Cao laughed loudly," I only hope that Bowen doesn't think that I will promote the general. However, I do have such intentions. The two of you are my trusted subordinates, so I'm not afraid to tell you."”
Xu Zhen and Xun Yu looked at each other, their hearts clear.
"Yes, I am."
Xu Zhen sighed." That's reasonable. The clan relatives and generals must support him.”
"After all, some people are destined to be born with great things in their hands…"
Cao Cao: "???"
Xun Yu: "???"
What did this mean? Why do I feel like I understand it even though I don't understand it?？
"Oh, I'm talking about power. Don't get the wrong idea.”
Xu Zhen picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
……
That night.
In the southern camp, Cao Ren was overjoyed when he received the military order.
"Hahaha! Drink! Come!"
In the camp, a banquet was being held. Cao Ren was drinking with his troops.
He was overjoyed.
Going south to Jingzhou would be a great achievement. If he could succeed, he could take down Xinye and open the gates of Jingzhou. He would have made a great contribution. In the future, when he was conferred a title of nobility, he could also move up a few ranks.
Moreover, the army would be given more provisions, armaments, and equipment.
"We're going to make a great contribution!"
"General, why are you so confident?"
The general on the right had a cold and stern expression. He was extremely determined and calm as he stroked his beard." General, our lord has already said that Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, who were ranked ninth on the Golden Roll yesterday, are likely to be under Liu Bei's command. If they are here, wouldn't we be in even more danger?"”
This will be Li Dian, ranked in the top 30.
He was also one of the fierce generals at that time.
Cao Ren laughed out loud." What are you afraid of? Could a counselor fight against fifty thousand soldiers?! These years, my army is fifty thousand elites, and I study the art of war day and night. I have some of Big Brother's charm, so why would I be afraid of a Confucian scholar? Liu Bei had fled to Xinye and was already a defeated general.”
"Liu Xuande has been defeated many times and fled like a rat. He has long lost his will. He is just a defeated general.!”
After Cao Ren said that, he ate the meat and drank the wine.
After that, they spent three days to gather the troops and send out the vanguard to scout the south and determine the route.
But at this moment.
The Golden Roll in the sky shook again.
All the commoners were numb.
In the past few days, the Golden Roll had been shaken too many times. This meant that there would be another change in the world. Was there going to be another unprecedented war?!
"Heaven Roll? The Brave General Heaven Ranking moved again?"
"The Brave General Heaven Ranking is the most ferocious general of the world. Who did they touch?!”
"A fiery dragon with silver starlight in its mouth. That's at least in the top ten! Top ten!"
"Another top ten general has entered the rankings?!”
Countless people looked up.
At this moment, he saw a person's name appear on the rankings.
It appeared in the eighth place.
Courage General ranked eighth on the Heaven Ranking! Huang Zhong!
He was also given the title of Heaven.
