Chapter 149: Soul Compatibility After Reputation Blessings [Subscription Request]
Yu Wen led a group of attendants and stewards to come out from the stable to welcome them.
Everyone looked at Cao Cao's team.
There were more than ten riders in the middle of the team, who looked particularly special.
Even the horses they rode were particularly strong. They were all top-grade horses from Liangzhou and Bingzhou. Their muscles were taut and full of power.
The cavalry on horseback wore plate armor, which was rare in the Han Dynasty. It was heavier and provided stronger protection and impact force.
The armor is equipped with a helmet during combat, which can even cover the face.
However, among the more than ten people, only six wore full armor, and the rest wore half armor.
These ten-odd men have the aura and physique that are rare among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. They are exactly the seventeen heavy cavalrymen who have passed Zhao Zilong's initial selection.
Cao Cao got off the chariot, and six men in full armor followed him down the road.
The difficulty and time required to forge heavy armor were beyond previous expectations.
These six sets of armor were originally stripped from the eight armored guards under Dong Zhuo. Some parts were recast and the semi-finished products were remade so that they could be worn so quickly.
Cao Cao stepped down from the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, and the entry disappeared. He was not in a hurry to check the prompt of the hidden attribute, but greeted Yu Wen who was walking towards him.
"Yue Weng."
Together with Yu Wen, there were several people from the noble families in Jizhou.
Yu Wen was in charge of taking the lead and secretly brought several people to the horse farm. After all, they were trying to dig into Jizhou's corner.
Those who came were all the more influential heads of aristocratic families in Jizhou.
As Cao Cao approached, Yu Wen said to his attendants, "Everyone, this is my son-in-law, my good son-in-law Cao Mengde. You all should know his talent and strategy, as well as the strength of Yanzhou's military forces. The world should also know this!"
I have been upgraded from a good son-in-law to a half-son, another level higher... Cao Cao thought.
When the Taishou of Chenliu was promoted to the Governor of Yanzhou, his title was changed to "virtuous son-in-law", and this time it became "half-son".
If I get promoted again, my father-in-law will probably become sworn brothers with me... Cao Cao couldn't help but think with a smile.
Yu Qing, with a slightly protruding belly, followed beside him. She looked very happy as a wife who was honored by her husband.
Yu Qing was once a noble concubine, and most of what should be known is already known.
But everyone pretended to be confused and no one mentioned it. They all told the outside world that the Yu family already had such a daughter.
Secretly, people spread the rumor that Cao Cao was not a good son and had peculiar hobbies.
Everyone greeted each other, said hello, and walked towards the horse farm together.
It is called a horse farm, but in fact it is equivalent to a huge farm, which encloses half of a large wild swamp for raising horses.
The 800-li Liangshan Marsh is half the size, covering several hundred miles.
Most of Zhuangzi's buildings are still under construction.
The adjacent yard is a large orchard with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. In May, the air is already fragrant and the flowers are beginning to bloom.
The horse farm's houses were built on the highest ground near Daye Lake to prevent the lake water from rising and flooding the farm during the flood season.
There are four large ships and several small boats parked on the lake outside the village, which can be used for boating and fishing.
After the group finished chatting in the manor, they went out and boarded the boat to go boating on the lake.
Just as everyone came out, they heard a loud and deafening sound of a horse neighing.
After Zhaoye Jade Lion led the herd of horses to run, he slowed down and came to the side of the farm. He stared with his clear and bright horse eyes, tilted his neck, and looked in the direction of the carriage parked outside the farm in surprise.
It opened its mouth to neigh softly, and immediately there were two other horse neighs, louder and more powerful than its own.
The red rabbit, as red as flame, jumped out and galloped on the high ground, with a sound like a dragon's roar.
On the other side, the sound of the yellow claw flying lightning was more powerful, like the tide hitting the shore.
Zhaoye Jade Lion was still a pony. He looked at the two foreign horses in horror. He couldn't help but feel a little afraid and took a small step back.
Everyone boarded the big boat and looked back at the horses on the shore, competing with each other.
Who is the best horse in Cao’s camp?
Red Hare raised his neck proudly and walked down from the high ground.
Claw Huang walked towards the Jade Lion Zhaoye with the pace of the leader, his hooves rising and falling, and gave Red Hare a provocative look.
If you don’t agree, run a lap.
The two horses suddenly started to run.
Red Hare was like a streak of red lightning. Claw Huang lagged behind by half a body length right from the start, so he started to cheat and raised his hoof to kick Red Hare.
The two horses went from racing to fighting, trampling with their front hooves and kicking with their hind hooves. When the distance got closer, they started biting each other and had a lot of fun fighting.
"These two horses of my dear son-in-law must be of different species, as they are so warlike," said the father-in-law.
Cao Cao smiled.
It's no wonder that these two always fight at home.
Roar!
In the village near the shore, Yin also let out a childish tiger roar.
Under its claws was a little leopard with golden fur and stripes.
The leopard presented by Ling Jin was named Rui by Cao Cao. It became Yin's follower and was controlled tightly, with its bloodline suppressed.
Yin saw so many horses running and became eager to try.
"Zilong, the jade lion is yours now. I won't reward you for your military merits next time you lead troops in battle. How about exchanging it for this horse?"
Cao Cao said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Raise it yourself. When it grows up, it will be able to provide you with combat support."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up. Which military general doesn't love horses?
The appearance of the Zhaoye Jade Lion is obviously a divine product at first glance.
A good horse is the best companion for a military general, and he will always be with it day and night.
Xu Chu also liked horses very much and said enviously, "Provincial Governor."
"You also choose a good horse at the stable. When there is a chance in the future, I will exchange it for a thousand-mile horse for you." Cao Cao said.
"It's better to eat meat." Dian Wei said.
Everyone then entered the cabin.
The shipbuilding industry in the Han Dynasty was already quite developed. It was capable of manufacturing tower ships and began to explore the seas.
The boat Cao Cao and his companions used to cruise on the lake was a square-headed boat.
The ship is about nine feet long and has three floors of cabins.
Everyone sat down in the top cabin. There was a breeze blowing off the lake, and the view was wide, with the vast expanse of water in the Ono Lake.
There is lush vegetation on both sides, stretching endlessly.
The mountains and rivers of China are so magnificent.
As the sky darkens, there are the sounds of insects chirping and cicadas singing. In the May weather, the sounds are endless.
Yu Qing, Diao Chan, Bian Mei, Wen Ji and other female relatives occupied a boat and toured the lake, laughing constantly.
We ate lake seafood during the meal, which was steamed and tasted delicious.
On Cao Cao's ship, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others followed him, only Xun Yu stayed in Changyi, responsible for looking after the house. In a cabin, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, two great doctors, were taking the pulse of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia respectively.
Then exchange the patients and see another one.
Then they each came up with a prescription and compared it with each other's and consulted with each other.
Guo Jia's diagnosis: poor blood circulation, fatigue, alcoholism. Most importantly, sexual intercourse was exhausting, the body was becoming weaker and weaker, and the meridians were damaged and disordered.
Guo Jia was furious when he heard the diagnosis: "I am not weak, I can have sex with several women at night, I am not weak at all."
"Xu!"
"You're so weak!"
Hua Tuo calmly repeated twice: "The result cannot be wrong."
Guo Jia saw that everyone was looking at him and was about to explain.
"You are indeed weak."
Zhang Zhongjing made up for it in time and gave a detailed explanation: "The liver meridian is hot, which causes you to be greedy for women. It is not deficiency, which is a false impression of yang hyperactivity. The real situation is deficiency, and it is very severe."
"You see, our diagnosis is the same." Hua Tuo respected the diagnosis result very much.
He never lied about his diagnosis.
"No, I'm not weak, I'm in good health." Guo Jia began to signal with his eyes, even if I am weak, don't say it in front of so many people, you two stupid doctors.
Hua Tuo said indifferently, "You are so weak. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have only seen two cases like this."
There was actually someone accompanying him. Guo Jia felt relieved and asked curiously, "Who is the other one?"
Hua Tuo pointed at Xi Zhicai standing next to him and said, "Him."
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and almost shed tears. They were brothers in distress.
Xi Zhicai is a deficiency of Qi and blood, which consumes too much energy, leading to internal deficiency and mental damage.
Hua Tuo asserted that if Guo Jia continued to be weak, he would not live past forty.
Zhang Zhongjing gave the same diagnosis.
Xi Zhicai is also that one.
Two people don't have to be born in the same year and month, but they can ask to die in the same way.
Guo Jia said in frustration: "It's strange that you two didn't get beaten to death while seeing a doctor."
Hua Tuo said calmly: "The sick do not avoid doctors. If you do not tell me your condition frankly, how can you know that you have suffered serious damage and cooperate with the treatment?"
Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo prescribed medicine for him, and asked him to have regular diagnosis and treatment. In addition to conditioning, he also asked Guo Jia to cooperate, abstain from sex, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, and drink less alcohol.
When Guo Jia heard this, he felt that life was boring and shook his head.
Xi Zhicai needs to cooperate with acupuncture to promote the stability of his mind and gradually recover.
"Wenhe, you should go and have a look too."
Cao Cao had seen it before, and urged Jia Xu.
Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing said that Cao Cao's soul was damaged.
But there is hope that it can be recovered after treatment, so it doesn’t seem to be a big problem at the moment.
"I'm in good health, no need to see it, right?" Jia Xu said in surprise.
He diligently practiced the art of health preservation and life protection, and felt that he had a strong body. He was not interested in women, did not drink, and did not have any bad habits.
"It's psychological. Being overly timid is also a disease." Cao Cao teased.
"Can these two miracle doctors also cure courage?"
If someone is so brave that he is not afraid of death, he can be as bold as he wants in the future. This scared Jia Xu.
After seeing the doctor, several people moved to another cabin and started to talk about business.
"How is the locust control policy going in Yanzhou and Yuzhou?"
Locust plagues are common in summer.
Especially in June and July, it is just around the corner.
Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which are rich in grain, have always been the hardest hit areas.
"The governor has urged us many times, and we have posted notices throughout Yanzhou, with the garrison troops supervising weeding and burning. Other measures are also being implemented."
Jia Xu said: "But the locust plague is highly mobile and covers a large area. If we start to treat it this year, the effect may not be very good."
Cao Cao nodded. After weeding the entire territory, some results should be seen in the central area of Yanzhou.
If the results are good this year, the initiative to participate will increase next year and the results will be even better.
"How is the war going in various places?"
Guo Jia was the military advisor and was responsible for sending and receiving war information from all parties. He responded:
"Yuan Shu is in constant trouble in Yangzhou, and he was frightened by the governor's pursuit for thousands of miles last time. He will not think of marching north to raise troops for the time being."
"It was Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian who, together with Liu Bei and his two brothers, had several battles with Han Sheng."
"As the battle in Xuzhou continues, we can treat it as training. It is a good thing to increase actual combat."
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and reminded him, "Fengxiao, you should drink less in the future. Women... it is against human ethics for you not to look for them, but you must restrain yourself. This is a military order."
Guo Jia opened his mouth to speak, but Cao Cao said, "You are so weak, it's for your own good."
Guo Jia immediately covered his face and walked away.
Xi Zhicai followed behind. The two brothers planned to find a place to discuss their illness.
After reporting the matter, everyone retreated.
Cao Cao took out two things and looked at them.
One of them is a bronze block taken out from Tomb No. 4, and I always feel that there is a secret hidden in it.
The other item was a silk scroll.
It was first found from Zhang Rang and was suspected to be the heavenly book that Zhang Jiao used for cultivation as rumored.
Cao Cao once drew inspiration from it to nourish himself.
The silk book also depicts the mythical scene of the Lady of the Nine Heavens passing on the Dharma to Emperor Huangdi.
Cao Cao examined the two items, then opened the entry to check.
[Your soul is blessed with 500,000 reputation]
[You have unlocked the real hidden attribute. You know how to use people well. Good generals, famous ministers, counselors, and beauties all gather because of you. You can use the hidden attribute to confer titles on all generals, and to a certain extent increase their upper limits.]
The kind that were conferred titles by imperial decree, such as the Five Elite Generals or the Five Tiger Generals?
[Your cultural heritage (legacy level) +0.5. Cultural heritage rating: 93. The cultural heritage talent passed down from generation to generation allows you to easily master various cultural heritage magical powers.]
[Event in progress…]
At this moment, something is going on that needs special annotation... Cao Cao pondered.
At this time, Jia Xu returned and said, "Governor, there is news that there is an unusual troop movement in Qingzhou!"
