"If you mention one against seven thousand again, I'll fight you to the death!”Zhao Zilong raised his hand and pointed at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu immediately laughed awkwardly.! Xu Chu knew his mistake. Zilong, don't be angry.”
……
At this moment, Xu Zhen looked at the battle armor and still felt that it was not good. There were too few of them. These two sets had already cost a lot of money. If he really wanted the entire army to wear them…
The commoners could be scraped into bones.
Therefore, it was very unrealistic.
"The effect is good. Ordinary swords and sabers can't break through the armor in the first place. However, there's a problem that you didn't think of.”
" What problem?!"
Xu Chu felt like a god had descended to the mortal world and was possessed by the God of War. He could not wait to go to the battlefield and make a name for himself.
"How heavy is this armor?"
"No matter what, it should be at least…50 to 60 catties.”
Xu Chu weighed his options.
"That's right. Although this armor is more exquisite, it's also thicker. Moreover, the material itself is heavier. It's considered a thick armor. Not to mention the material, it needs to be worn by a real warrior.”
"Thus, there won't be many. You and Dian Wei, give me a death warrior camp.”
"I want real men of sacrifice and brave warriors, five hundred people. I want materials for five hundred sets of armor. Then, I will let you lead them. When you go to the battlefield, you will specially look for the enemy's general and commander.”
Xu Zhen's eyes instantly turned cold, and the outline of an army gradually appeared in his mind.
Beheading.
Such an army was trained to behead enemies.
Heavy armor, sharp blades, wherever the armor passed, not a single blade of grass would grow!
"Five hundred? Isn't it 1,000?"
Both of them were stunned.
Xu Zhen glared at him." Do you want it? If not, I'll give it to someone else!" Do you think other people don't want it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Oh my god…"
Xu Chu started to feel jealous." I knew it at first glance. The other 500 must have been given to Zilong!”
" We can't help it. We're all fated to have a hard life…"
Dian Wei placed a hand on Xu Chu's shoulder and started to sound strange.
Xu Zhen went up and kicked Dian Wei's butt." Bargaining?! I don't want them all!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xu Chu shook off Dian Wei's hand and smiled in front of Xu Zhen." I want it, I definitely want it. With this armor, I'll definitely be successful in the future!”
"Me too!"
Dian Wei raised his hand and chuckled.
Although these two people were eccentric, they never had any bad intentions. What they pursued might be battle achievements or victory.
It was a little like the feeling of a general with a muddy leg. As long as he could win, he could get anything else from the enemy.
Therefore, Xu Zhen felt a little like…Li Yunlong felt for a brigade commander.
In any case, his position in the military camp was fixed. Xu Zhen is greater than Guo Jia, greater than Zhao Yun, greater than Xu Chu, Dian Wei, greater than Tian Wang Lao Tzu.
Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at the two of them." Zilong wants to guard the Imperial City. If I'm not wrong, there will be internal strife in the Imperial City in the near future."”
" What?!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu's expressions immediately turned stiff. They stared at Xu Zhen seriously." Is there any danger?"”
"If there's any danger, I can transfer 300 people from my camp to help Zilong.”Xu Chu said generously.
Dian Wei nodded and said in a deep voice," Yes, I can also transfer 3,000 over.”
Xu Chu was speechless.
"You're going too far. Why do you have to give me ten times more?”
"I have ten times more soldiers than you!”
Dian Wei proudly raised his chin, his face full of pride.
" Is he amazing?!" Xu Chu was instantly unconvinced." I just came early!" If I had come a year earlier, I would have at least 50,000 elite soldiers now!”
"Bragging!"
Dian Wei smiled disdainfully.
The corner of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched." Fifty thousand elite soldiers? Why don't you shoot down the moon?”
……
At night.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were selecting their men of sacrifice.
Cao Cao unexpectedly came to visit.
He arrived at this place immediately.
Xu Zhen did not attend the morning court session today.
As for Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, they had ten wins and ten losses, causing all the civil and military officials to be extremely shocked and speechless. Cao Cao sat up in shock as if he was dying.
His mouth almost cracked from laughing.
After the court session, he summoned Xun Yu and told him about this to the emperor. The emperor was quite happy, but also a little worried.
Therefore, Cao Cao specially thanked Xun Yu, held his hand and said," Wen Ruo is my Liang Fang."
In the end, Xun Yu directly said that Xu Zhen was the one who said the ten wins and ten losses theory, making Cao Cao feel awkward.
He could only add," That Wen Ruo is also my womb."
As soon as he entered, Cao Cao grabbed Xu Zhen's hand and patted the back of his hand." Bo Wen, Bo Wen is really my Han Xin!"”
The corner of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched." Han Xin's fate is not good. I don't want to plant this flag, Prime Minister!"”
"There's nothing we can do about it. Fang Fangxun Yu has already occupied it.”
Cao Cao curled his lips and helplessly said.
"This time, the great battle is imminent. With your ten wins and ten losses, it's really like sending charcoal in the snow. I just don't understand why Bo Wen didn't tell me himself but let Wen Ruo do it?”
Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and said," First of all, you and I both know Xun Yu's position among the scholars. If he were to say this, it would be a powerful statement. Yang Biao, Zhong Yao, and Dong Cheng would not have any complaints.”
"Secondly, these words are too flattering. I really can't say it.”
Cao Cao's mouth twitched.
He was stunned on the spot.
Then, he blinked in disbelief.
Immediately, he looked extremely embarrassed and said,"This, this ten wins and ten losses theory, isn't it right?! Don't you think it makes sense?"
"You came up with this yourself. Aren't they all my strengths?”
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
F * ck!
I'm here to let you praise me in person. I feel good!
You came and said that it was flattery. I, Cao Cao, don't care about my face!?
I, the Prime Minister, am wise and mighty. I created the heavens and earth, I turned the world around, I helped the Great Han Dynasty to fall, and I saved the people from fire and water!
Wasn't it gorgeous enough?
"Bowen! What do you think of this battle? Do I really have a chance of winning?"
Cao Cao's expression calmed down. If the ten wins and ten losses were fake, then wouldn't the chances of victory be fake as well? If the chances of victory were slim, why would they fight?
"Yes, we have a great chance of winning."
Xu Zhen also became serious. He regained his composure and said to Cao Cao,""Moreover, the battle with Yuan Shao has already begun.”
"Now?"
Cao Cao frowned, but he immediately relaxed and nodded," That's right, it has already begun. This is the battle.”
"Battle, will I win or lose…"
Cao Cao muttered a few more words.
"Yes."
Xu Zhen said with certainty.
"Although Chen Lin's literary talent is soaring, she's just scolding the prime minister for being a eunuch and an ugly person. What's this?”
"However, there is no basis for usurping the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei has never been to Xuchang before. Even if he secretly came, what use is it? How many people in the world were willing to believe him? Only Yuan Shao."
"Why? Because only by believing could Yuan Shao mobilize his troops in Xuchang, where the Emperor was located. The Emperor was in Xuchang at the moment and could issue an edict at any time.”
"There are so many people who have received the imperial edict. Liu Bei regards himself as the Imperial Uncle and has the imperial edict in his hands. Of course, he can not receive the imperial edict, but what about the other dukes? How many of them really dare!"
Cao Cao nodded," Excellent. Then, what will happen next?"”
"Where is my chance of victory?"
Cao Cao asked uncertainly. He couldn't see the future, so he could only maintain his will and will.
"The many problems you listed, are there any other hidden dangers in the surroundings? Why are those dukes standing on Yuan Shao's side and not on my side?”
This had to be considered clearly. Cao Cao already had a plan in his mind, but he lacked Xu Zhen to say a word.
"Bowen, speak boldly and ask boldly. In such a big battle, you and I should discuss.”
Xu Zhen smacked his lips and said softly,""Sigh, I'm afraid the Prime Minister already has his own opinion…None of these dukes support him.”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment before he suddenly smiled," Hehehe…Haha…Good, good…"
He leaned back slightly and took a deep breath. His eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Zhen, as if he was looking at a treasure.
"You really can bear the responsibility of being the second son of a genius. You can see through people's hearts and know the future.”
Cao Cao patted Xu Zhen's shoulder a few times.
Then, he said sincerely," Yuan Shao and I have known each other since we were young. At that time, he was the descendant of a famous family, and I was the descendant of a eunuch. Although the two of them walked in the same sect and fought with eagles and dogs, there was a huge difference in their status. I have always known it, so I have always been afraid of him.”
" Young man, when Xiahou Yuanrang, Cao Zixiao, and I were brothers of the same clan, we roamed the streets and made friends with brave warriors. When we were suppressing bandits in the village, Yuan Shao was wandering among the upper nobles and made friends with the aristocrats. We had already made friends all over the world. At that time, I respected him.”
"Later on, we were all officials of the same court, and we were all West Garden Commanders. Yuan Shao could discuss matters with Great General He Jin, while I could only enter and leave the court as a minor officer. When Dong Zhuo entered the pass and caused chaos in the court, he was the Alliance Master, and I was an unknown duke. I had to rely on him, so I looked down on Yuan Shao.”
Cao Cao's face was filled with a smile of reminiscence, and this smile was filled with confidence.
Xu Zhen was engrossed in listening and knew that Cao Cao was really telling him about the past, so he did not interrupt.
He just listened quietly.
"Now, he has the Qing, You, Bing, and Ji Prefectures under his control, and he has Lu Bu's support. He is in Qingzhou, with 700,000 to 800,000 troops and millions of stones of rations. The nobles are like clouds gathering in the sky.”
Xu Zhen laughed when he heard that. He could not help but ask,"Why…the stronger he gets, the less he likes him?”
"Because if I had half of Yuan Shao's army and food, Cao Mengde would have been beheaded countless times! Hahahaha!"
Cao Cao laughed out loud, his expression extremely wild. It had probably been a long time since he had shown such an attitude in front of others.
"Yuan Benchu is simply indecisive. In the last battle between Xuzhou and Yangzhou, if Yuan Shao had sent troops, my Xudu would have been his. If that was the case, I would have died without a burial place. At the very least, I would have become a stray dog and be beaten until I fled.”
"But Yuan Benchu didn't come."
Cao Cao's smile deepened, and Xu Zhen nodded in agreement.
"If he doesn't come, it means that this person doesn't know how to fight. So what if he has a million soldiers?”
Moreover, Yuan Shao didn't have any. Cao Cao's words made Xu Zhen feel much more at ease.
"The most important thing is the sentence in your ten wins and ten losses theory. Yuan Shao likes to go against the heavens, while I follow the heavens. Those who follow the heavens are like hitting stones with the current.”
At this moment, Cao Cao was full of heroic spirit and his face was full of vigor. The domineering aura of a ruler of the world suddenly appeared on his face.
"This battle will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and this history will be written by me, the victor!”
Xu Zhen smiled and nodded.
This battle was indeed recorded in history, and the victor was Cao Cao.
At this moment, Cao Mengde already had the will to win, so he was not too far away from victory.
"Come, bring me to meet Guan Yunzhang.”
This time, Cao Cao did not just come to see Xu Zhen.
When he met Guan Yu in his early years, he was already somewhat surprised by his appearance. He had a dignified appearance, a red face, and a long beard. Moreover, in a crowd, his temperament was like a crane among chickens.
Later, Guan Yunchang killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, and Sanying fought with Lu Bu.
His name shook the world.
Adding on his appearance and the aura of a leader, Cao Cao was already in love with him. If he could make Guan Yu submit to him, it would be like adding another tiger general to the battle, increasing the chances of victory.
It might not be a bad thing.
Xu Zhen smiled and said," He and I can be considered old friends. In my camp, we can be considered to have preserved each other's face. However, we are a little arrogant and unruly."”
"Arrogant? Then let's go and take a look…"
Cao Cao smiled. Today, he could be considered to have opened his heart to Xu Zhen and chatted with him. He would probably not talk to anyone for the next few years. To Cao Cao, this was a state that should be hidden in the depths of his heart forever.
After a while, the group arrived at the depths of the Snow Dragon Cavalry camp. Guan Yu lived in the deepest part of the camp.
There was no helmet or weapon. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade had already been sent to the main tent. It was now melted into dozens of catties of iron, ready to be forged into a hundred refined blade.
He was dressed in plain clothes and was lighting a lamp in the tent to tidy up his beard.
When Cao Cao arrived, he lifted the curtain and smiled.
"Chief Yun, long time no see.”
"Humph, Cao Mengde, there's no need to pretend to be merciful. You and my big brother are irreconcilable enemies. Now that I'm a prisoner, I only wish for a quick death.”
Xu Zhen spread his hands and said helplessly,""I said that he was arrogant. He wasn't afraid of being accused of betraying his master for glory. He would rather die.”
" Xu Zhen," Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at him with the same expression as before." Back then, we were blind. I admit that. However, although I, Guan Yu, look down on you, I have never bullied you."”
" Now, you've returned the favor. You didn't whip me or humiliate me. However, there's one thing I have to ask." Guan Yu's face turned red as he said this. He felt as if he had been greatly insulted.
"Why do you ask the new recruits to come to my tent to pay their respects to me every time they leave the camp?"”
"You even asked me, Master Guan, to bless you! Do you think I'm dead? Ah! How can I sit back and watch such humiliation?!”
His face instantly turned red with anger. Although he was already very red, at this moment, his face was a little red.
Cao Cao's mouth twitched as he listened, not knowing what to do.
"Uh, Bowen, this…what's going on…"
